Chapter 259 How dare you? "Please give the order from the manager!"
Ji Song looked at the enthusiastic crowd and was very excited! This war will completely change the status of the Eastern Hegemony. If you win, the Tang Dynasty's prestige will spread far and wide at home and abroad; if you lose, everything will stop! Although the country will not be subjugated, it is certain that it will be unable to recover.
Maybe there will be another Wenjing Reign to accumulate strength.
With luck, a hero like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might appear. If not, then Ji Song would become the sinner of the Tang Dynasty.
"Everyone will obey!"
"The end is here!"
Ji Song threw out his big cloak, suddenly turned around and said: "From now on, all the soldiers will not take off their armor when sleeping, and their horses will not leave their bodies, and they will be ready to attack at any time."
"The crossbows were all disassembled and installed on the large sled, and the single-person sled was also carefully inspected to make sure there were no flaws."
"Bring half a month's worth of military rations and fodder, select the best horses, and equip them with two horses per person."
"If anyone dares to make a mistake in this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He walked to the marching map hanging behind the desk, slapped a red dot hard, and said sternly: "And our target is Jie Li's home base - Tieshan!"
Everyone was shocked and said: "Iron Mountain."
In spring, in the first month of the first month, Li Jing led three thousand knights from Mayi and stationed in Wuyang Ridge. The Turkic Jieli Khan did not expect Li Jing to send troops so quickly. He was shocked and said: "The Tang Dynasty did not send all its troops to the north. How could Li Jing dare to go deep here alone?"
The Turkic soldiers were frightened several times in one day, so they moved their tents to Qikou.
Previously, after Jieli's defeat, he fled to Tieshan, with tens of thousands of remaining Jieli faction leader lost his mind and went to see Taizong, apologized face to face, and asked the country to surrender, and he entered the court to pay for his sins.
Li Shimin sent Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple, and others to comfort him, and ordered Li Jing to lead troops to welcome Jie Li.
But what kind of person is Jieli? He looks humble on the outside, but hesitant on the inside. He wants to wait until the grass is green and the horses are fat, then he can escape back to Mobei to regroup.
Li Ji came out of the clouds, fought with the Turks on the Baidao, and defeated them greatly.
Li Jing went out to Dingxiang and led his troops to meet with Li Ji. They conspired and said, "Although Jie Li was defeated, his troops are still very strong.
If we go to the Qibei area, Jieli can rely on the old tribe. The roads are blocked and far away, so it may be difficult to catch up for a while.
Now that the imperial envoys have arrived at the Turkic camp, the Turkic Jieli Khan must feel relieved. If he selects 1 elite cavalry and carries 20 days of food and grass to attack, he can capture Jieli alive without a fight. "
This was a plan that Li Jing had already planned, but it was not easy for many people to know about it then did Li Jiyan say that this was also due to insurance.
But Li Ji hesitated and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to accept their surrender. How can the Tang Dynasty's envoys attack when they are in the other side's camp?"
Li Jing couldn't care so much at this time. His Majesty had already agreed to this matter, and Tang Jian knew it well, but he went anyway, presumably already prepared to sacrifice.
However, this matter must not be told to others, and His Majesty cannot bear the reputation of regardless of Tang Jian's life or death. Li Jing can only fight it by himself.
When we first made the plan, we had already thought of this situation. Those who want to achieve great things don't care about the small details. How can there be no death in a war?
Li Jing said: "Han Xin defeated Qi with sneak attacks. Tang Jian and others are not worthy of pity!"
In the early Han Dynasty, after Han Xin conquered Zhao State, Liu Bang ordered his troops to continue attacking Qi State. At this time, Qi State had surrendered, and Han Xin wanted to stop using troops against Qi State.
But the debater Kuai Tong said: "General, you directly received the order to attack Qi State, but you did not receive the order to stop attacking Qi State!
Li Shiqi captured more than 70 cities in Qi with his eloquent words, but it took the general and tens of thousands of people more than a year to capture more than 50 cities in Zhao. How could the general lose his face? "So Han Xin was determined to continue attacking Qi. Qi King Tian Guang, who had surrendered to Liu Bang, felt that Li Shiqi had deceived him, so he cooked Li Shiqi and asked Xiang Yu for help.
Who is Li Ji?That was a ruthless man who came out of many heroes in the late Sui Dynasty.
Even people like this were frightened by Li Jing's cruelty, but after all, Li Jing was the marching coach, and he was under his control.
The probability of success in this adventure was still very high. Under the temptation of huge military achievements, I did not take it to heart.
As long as it succeeds, it is worth sacrificing a His Majesty wouldn't say anything if he knew.
Then Chai Shao left Bingzhou and Xue Wanche left Youzhou. As the armies gathered together, the entire grassland seemed a lot darker.
Ji Song took Su Lie and other [-] warriors, one person with two horses, plus [-] heavy troops, and took advantage of the snowy night to leave the rear army camp and rush towards Jie Li's lair - Tieshan!
Under the heavy snow and severe cold, the Jin River where they were supposed to swim was also covered in ice and snow.
After confirming that the river surface was strong, Ji Song ordered the entire army to cross the river quickly.
After crossing the Jinhe River, they did not stop and galloped directly towards the northwest.
Now everyone is racing against time, and Old Man Tang doesn't know how long he can hold on. Now he can still march covertly while the road is blocked by heavy snow.
If the heavy snow stops, Ji Song's whereabouts will no longer be secret, which will be a disaster for them.
Only by quickly marching to the vicinity of Iron Mountain now can we have enough time to prepare.
At this time, they were still thousands of miles away from Jie Li's home base, at least for nearly ten days.
He couldn't guarantee that the heavy snow would last for how many days, so he had to rush on the road quickly. Apart from taking a break and eating, he didn't have any stops on the way! After Li Jing and Li Ji met, they also quickly headed towards the back of Jie Li's lair, but they were always slower than Ji Song.
The soldiers suffered heavy casualties along the way, and one-tenth of their number was reduced before reaching the destination.
They all froze to death. Just look at how cold the winter is on the grasslands and see how many herdsmen die every winter.
Li Jing knew that if this adventure succeeded, it would be fine. If it failed, they would stay in the grassland forever, or die, or become prisoners of Jie Li.
"Pharmacist, can you tell me now who is responsible for this sneak attack?" Li Ji rode up to catch up with Li Jing in front and asked.
This matter has been buried in his heart for a long time. He has never had a good sleep since he learned about this mission.
When asked who Li Jing is, Li Jing always says that the time has not come yet.
But now that we are about to arrive at Jie Li’s lair in a few days, it’s time to finally say it! It's not that he doesn't believe Li Jing, but the success of this sneak attack is the most important part of their entire plan.
If something went wrong, they would have no choice but to kill him.
Li Jing looked back at him and said, "He is a good Marquis!"
"What? It's him? How dare you do this?" Li Ji was shocked. He didn't expect that it would be Ji Song in the end. This was something he never expected.
He thought about Chai Shao, thought about other people, and even thought about that idiot Xue Wanche.
But he never thought it was that boy Ji Song. How dare he, Li Jing? (End of this chapter)
