Chapter 421 Goodbye Yinan
What Zhao Deyan said sounds very tempting, and it doesn't seem to be a fantasy, it has a great possibility of success.

If Dadu could follow what Zhao Deyan said, he would first take the [-] remnants of his headquarters and defect to the mother tribe of Khobduo, and then Xijie would occupy Ashina Sheer in Futu City of West Turkic, reject Xue Yantuo in the east, and recuperate at the foot of Jinshan Mountain for a while. It is not impossible to rely on the power of the mother tribe to make a comeback.

Ashinasheer and Xue Yantuo have enmity, and Xue Yantuo's present Dadushi is not tolerated by Xue Yantuo. They can join forces to fight against Xue Yantuo. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, taking advantage of Yinan Khan's unpreparedness, attacked Yu Dujun's Shanhan court in one fell swoop, and took the Khan's position in one fell swoop. At that time, he boldly assumed that he was Xue Yantuo's Khan.

Zhao Deyan's words were like a glorious picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of the desperate Dadushe, making the ambitious Dadushe see his hope again.

Just as Zhao Deyan said, Zuo Nuo Zhenshui was defeated, and Dadu set up no longer has the capital to protect himself. In order to absolve the crime and appease Li Shimin's anger, Yi Nan Khan will definitely take his life. If you try your best, you may really be able to sit on Xue Yantuo's Khan position.

The desperate Dadu set heard Zhao Deyan's words, gritted his teeth, immediately complied, and headed straight for Kebuduo at the foot of Jinshan with five thousand remnants.

At the same time, Li Ke didn't know that Dadu had abandoned Junji Mountain. Li Ke only thought that Dadu had escaped, and Zheng personally led the army to chase out of Nuozhen Water Grass Farm without stopping. It seemed that he was almost there. Junji mountain boundary.

"Great Governor, don't chase any more. Junji Mountain is ahead. If you chase after you, you may be ambushed." Li Ke chased for more than a hundred miles, and then he arrived at Xue Yantuo's Junji Mountain. However, the Tang army was not very clear about the reality of Dadu's establishment. No one knew how many troops there were in Junji Mountain. Seeing that they were out of the boundary, Li Ji, who followed Li Ke and chased them out, persuaded Li Ke.

The way of using troops is not to be pursued by the poor, not to mention that the chassis set up by Dadu is approaching, and the Tang army in the Junji Mountain area is not familiar with it. It would be inappropriate to pursue it further.

"All the troops stop!"

Li Ke slowly reined in his horse and raised his hand slowly to stop the army. Then he said to Li Ji, "It's a pity that I didn't succeed in this battle, so I asked Dadu to flee back to Junji Mountain."

In the battle of Nuozhenshui, Datang lost only a few thousand soldiers, but Xue Yantuo was [-]% dead or wounded. No matter how you think about it, this battle was a big victory for the Tang army. Li Ke's first time leading the army out of the fortress to achieve such a result is considered impressive, but Li Ke's face did not show any color, but was a little bit annoyed.

Not greedy for merit, not aggressive, not arrogant, Li Ke is only sixteen years old, but he is as calm as a fellow, as if he is a veteran who has been in the army for many years, which really makes Li Ji look up to him.It is no coincidence that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has come to this point as a bastard son. His character and courage alone are far beyond what the prince can compare.

Li Jidao: "It's just coming to Japan, so there's no need for the governor to be in a hurry. The head that Dadu set up is just temporarily sent to his project, and he will take it sooner or later."

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded and said with a smile, "Let's let him go today, and it won't be too late to take his life in the coming day."

Li Ji asked: "Great Governor, what should we do now?"

Li Ke didn't immediately reply to Li Ji's words, but rode on the horseback, looked at the Junji Mountains in the distance, paced the horse, and looked at it for a long time.

After a while, Li Ke pointed to the surrounding terrain and asked Li Ji: "Director Li is a senior general in the army, and the emperor also praised him a lot. What does Director Li think of the terrain here?"

Li Ji looked up and saw that this place was near Junji Mountain, with a continuous hillside, condescending, sitting south and facing north, and immediately understood Li Ke's thoughts.

Li Ji asked rhetorically, "Does the governor want to build a garrison here to control Xue Yantuo?"

Li Ke nodded and said: "Yes, this place is located at the junction of Nuozhenshui and Junji Mountain. Dao can not only strangle Xue Yantuo's throat to go south, but also be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, killing two birds with one stone."

The high place next to Li Ke faces the Junji Mountain Road across the water. If Li Ke builds a garrison on this high slope, not only can he condescend to guard the main road, but also the two armies are fighting. The garrison at the place can be seen clearly, and the beacon can be used as a warning to let the Tang army know as soon as possible and make deployments to meet the enemy early.

Li Ji heard the words, thought for a moment, and replied: "What the governor said is true. This is indeed a fortress. Whoever gets it will have the upper hand. But this is the border between the two countries. I'm afraid Xue Yantuo may not sit idly by. The governor built a garrison here."

This place neither belonged to Tang nor Xue Yantuo, it was a land without an owner. In the past, Tang Dynasty did not pay much attention to Monan, and the entire Nuozhenshui and Baidaochuan were rarely inhabited, so this place is naturally not very important.

But now, with Dadu setting up troops to encircle Dingxiang City, and Li Ke going north to supervise the frontier, the two countries have already fought. This place has choked Xue Yantuo's throat going south. What Li Ji said made sense.

Li Ke asked the people around him: "This place is of great importance, and Xue Yantuo must not let it go. Otherwise, the siege of Xiangcheng by soldiers will happen again. This king wants to take this place as a garrison fortress, and regard it as an outpost of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone has a good idea."

After Li Ke's words fell, Su Dingfang, who rode his horse and stood beside Li Ke, looked at the Junji Mountain in the distance, thought for a while, and replied: "Xue Yantuo, a barbarian, started at a young age, and he can be regarded as a hero. It may not be easy to take this place rashly to build a fortress. Only if the current plan is not as important as it is easy, you can try it.”

Hearing this, Li Ke asked, "Why is it easy to lighten the important?"

Su Dingfang replied: "In the battle of Nuozhenshui, Xue Yantuo suffered heavy losses. If he relied on the power of Junji Mountain alone, he might not be able to fight against the governor. Why didn't the governor order his soldiers to build a wooden bridge and pretend to cross the river? The momentum of Junji Mountain.

Junji Mountain is the southern barrier of Yudujun Mountain. It is very important. Yinan is protecting Junji Mountain. He must write to discuss peace with His Royal Highness. At that time, the governor will make an agreement with Yinan to hand over this place to the Turks and build another garrison fort. Can become. "

Li Ke listened to Su Dingfang's words and nodded slowly.

The Tang Dynasty fought on many fronts, and the logistics were tight. Xue Yantuo did not have the certainty of a battle, so he dared not make the Northern Expedition easily, and Xue Yantuo was not like this?
Now Xue Yantuo seems to be strong, but in reality he is suffering from internal and external troubles. The Nine Tieles in China have different intentions, Liaodong and Western Turks on the east and west are ready to move, and Yi Nan has no confidence in a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty.

Although this place is important, it is much lighter compared to the whole Junji Mountain. If Li Ke wants to take Junji Mountain and force the barbarians to make concessions here, it is not a bad idea.

Even if Li Kedang wanted to follow Su Dingfang's words, he ordered the former army to build a bridge, thinking of a feint attack, and wanted to take the momentum of Junji Mountain.

But just when Li Ke was about to give an order, the scouts who sent out to spy on the news brought a news that surprised Li Ke: Tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army suddenly appeared in the northwest of Junji Mountain, holding the sweat flag, and it was the Yinan Khan who led the army It's here.
