Under the fame, how dare Jie Libi ride five thousand wolves to attack more with less?
So, after learning that Li Wangyou led the Wanqi Tang army to catch up, Jie Libi didn't even dare to resist, and ordered to retreat directly.
In Jielibi's mind, Tang Qi should not dare to go deep into the grassland, so why should he take the risk of fighting the Tang army?
As long as he retreated hundreds of miles, Jie Libi could join tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry.If at that time, Tang Jun was still in hot pursuit, he would not mind defeating Tang Jun in one fell swoop, and then teach Li Wangyou a profound lesson.
Five thousand wolf cavalry surrounded Jie Libi in embarrassment, and ran towards the direction of Dujun Yu Mountain, while behind it, more than ten thousand cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, led by Li Wangyou, chased after him.
After chasing and fleeing, in a few days, hundreds of miles passed in a flash, and the Tang army, led by Li Wangyou, had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Xue Yantuo Khanate.
Mi Tuo couldn't bear it any longer, so he approached Li Wangyou after the army set up camp and said, "His Royal Highness, we have been chasing you for five or six days, and now the army is going deep alone, with no backup and no food supply. It can’t be pursued like this any longer.”
Cheng Chumo waited for the dandies, but at this moment he felt uneasy.
Originally they thought that Li Wangyou just wanted to vent his anger, but now the situation is just like what Mi Tuo said, these ten thousand cavalry went deep into the grassland alone, if one is not good, Xue Yantuo might really make dumplings for them.
To fall to that point, there is really nowhere to cry.
Fang Yiai hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded: "Ziyou, why don't you let Jie Libi go for now. I'll return to Chang'an first, and I'll settle the score with them later."
"Yes, Ziyou, the army has no backup and no food supply, but it is too risky."
"Yesterday, the scouts came to report that Jie Libi had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If we continue chasing him like this, I'm afraid something will go wrong. Ziyou, let's withdraw the troops." road.
Now beside Jielibi, there are not only five thousand wolf riders.He ran all the way north, but he didn't forget to gather the Xue Yantuo cavalry who had been scattered on the grassland before, searching for Li Wangyou and Ah Tuo.
Within a few days, [-] cavalry gathered around Jielibi.
Ten thousand Tang cavalry had to deal with [-] or even more Xue Yantuo cavalry, so it was no wonder that Cheng Chumo and the others had no confidence.
Li Wangyou was not nervous.
He also knew that Mi Tuo and the others were right, but in his opinion these were not problems.
There are many grazing tribes on the grassland. Even if the Tang army doesn't rob them and buys them with money, they can still buy enough food.Even if you want to come to those tribes, you dare not sell cattle and sheep to Tang Jun.
So supplies are not a problem at all.
As for the lone army going deep, Xue Yantuo's troops were stronger than his own, and in Li Wangyou's view, it was even less of a problem.
Naturally, Mi Tuo and the dudes never imagined that after more than ten years, in the 20th year of Zhenguan, Li Ji defeated Xue Yantuo's 20 troops and fled with only [-] cavalry, causing countless casualties.
Li Ji could do it with [-] cavalry, but Li Wangyou now has [-] fine cavalry in his hands, so why not?
In his opinion, the dismounted cavalry formation, which was so stupid as Xue Yantuo's cavalry, was completely vulnerable.
Back then, more than a hundred herdsmen could defeat five or six hundred Xue Yantuo cavalry under his command. What's more, Li Wangyou now has the invincible Tang cavalry in his hands, which is invincible across the grassland?
Even Li Wangyou wondered in his heart, if he defeated Jie Libi, would he go to the Yu Dujun Mountain in one go, go to Xue Yantuo's royal court, capture the barbarian Khan alive, and bring him back to Chang'an City to fight with the East Turkic people? Jieli Khan as a companion.
If Mi Tuo or Cheng Chumo found out about his thoughts, he would be so frightened that he would immediately fall off his horse.
With 20 fine riders, you want to be an enemy of Xue Yantuo, who has [-] soldiers. Isn't this crazy?
Facing everyone's persuasion, Li Wangyou smiled: "Hey, brothers, I've been chasing after you for so long, and I can't bear the thought of coming to Najie Libi. Even if you want to retreat, you have to fight Najie Let's talk about it after a fight with Li Bi. If we leave the grassland like this, where will my Tang face be put?"
Hearing what he said, Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other, but they could only nod helplessly.
And at this moment with soldiers in his hands, Jielibi, who was running wildly and fleeing all the way, finally had enough courage.
He also had enough of being chased by Li Wangyou all the way, and finally ordered the whole army to stop and prepare to face the Tang army.
A great battle that shocked the grassland is about to begin...
1035 Datang's Pride
After more than ten days of hard waiting for Xue Yantuo, Yu Dujun, and Tang Songling, Tang Songling finally got the notice that Yi Nan Khan wanted to see him.
Tang Songling didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the king's tent to meet Yinan Khan.
He was ordered to go to Mobei for the purpose of finding the King of Qin, Li Wangyou, and Tang Songling couldn't help but be in a hurry if he had to ask someone for this matter.
But he did not expect that as soon as he entered the king's tent, before he could greet Yi Nan Khan, he saw the gloomy expression on Yi Nan Khan's face and shouted at him in a rather angry tone: "Tang Shilang, although I, Xue Yantuo, is a small country, but It’s not about allowing the Tang Dynasty to humiliate you! Tell Ben Khan, why did the King of Qin lead an army of [-] to attack me, Xue Yantuo? But the Tang Dynasty is planning to go to war with me, Xue Yantuo?”
Tang Songling looked stunned, not understanding what Yi Nan Khan was talking about.
Immediately, his face was full of shock: "Yi Nan Khan, may I ask what you mean by what you just said? King Qin refers to His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty?"
"That's right! You Tang asked Ben Khan to help you find the whereabouts of King Qin in the grassland. Ben Khan kindly helped and sent a large number of soldiers to search for the whereabouts of King Qin. But Ben Khan didn't expect that your good intentions would be taken as the liver and lungs of a donkey. Your country's King Qin Actually, a few days ago, you led ten thousand cavalry to attack me, Xue Yantuo! Tang Shilang, if you don’t explain this to Ben Khan, don’t blame Ben Khan for turning his face!"
Yi Nan Khan actually cursed secretly in his heart at this time.
He never expected that his son Jie Libi led five thousand wolf riders to chase and kill Li Wangyou, not only failed, but Li Wangyou joined tens of thousands of Tang riders and went straight into the grassland.
When Jielibi fled, he naturally sent someone to hurry up and send someone to Dujun Yu Mountain to deliver the letter.When Yi Nan Khan learned of this, he was also shocked.
Chasing and killing Li Wangyou failed, but the matter was exposed instead. This matter is no small matter.
Yi Nan Khan didn't pay attention to the [-] Tang cavalry led by Li Wangyou. What he was afraid of was that Li Er would use this as an excuse to raise troops to attack Xue Yantuo after learning about it.Therefore, in order to stabilize Datang, he immediately recruited Tang Songling, beat him up directly, and blamed all the faults on Li Wangyou.
Tang Songling was overjoyed.
He didn't care whether Li Wangyou crossed the line or whether he had a conflict with Xue Yantuo, as long as he could find Li Wangyou's whereabouts, then his trip to Mobei was not in vain.
Faced with Yi Nan Khan's questioning, Tang Songling's waist straightened even more.
Originally, he was asking for help from others, so he lowered his posture. Otherwise, he would be a dignified court official of the fourth rank, the Minister of Rites, and the Khan of the Grassland Khanate?
Pooh!
Not to mention that Xue Yantuo's khanate, which was established in just a few years, was not regarded by the Tang Dynasty at all, so what if it was the East Turks?
When Jieli Khan was sacrificed to the Taimiao, countless people gathered to watch.Although Li Er appointed him as the Great General of the Right Guard and bestowed him with good land and a beautiful house, who in Chang'an City, including those common people, would regard him as a proper General of the Right Guard?
Barbarian Khan, although he was conferred the title of Zhenzhu Pijia Khan by Li Erchi, in the eyes of the Tang dynasty, he was nothing more than a barbarian.
Tang Songling smiled, and replied indifferently: "Yi Nan Khan, you can't say that. No one in the world knows that His Royal Highness Qin Wang is the direct disciple of the Taoist ancestor in the world. He does things in his own way. It makes sense. As for His Royal Highness the King of Qin leading troops into Xue Yantuo, there must be a reason."
"You! What do you mean? Tang Shilang, is it true that Datang really wants to be an enemy of me, Xue Yantuo?" Yi Nan Khan was furious when he heard the words, and the gold cup in his hand fell to the ground with a loud bang .
Inside the king's tent, several of Xue Yantuo's guards also pulled out the steel knives around their waists, and glared fiercely at Tang Songling.
Tang Songling didn't even lift her eyelids, ignoring Xue Yantuo's threat at all.
Since defeating the Eastern Turks, the Tang people have been the most proud nation in the world.Tang Songling simply regarded Xue Yantuo as nothing.As long as this barbarian Khan is not crazy, Tang Songling will not believe that he dares to touch a hair of his own.
As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, there is still some pride and self-confidence.
