Although these soldiers were brought out by Li Xiao, as long as they are in her hands, there is a way to completely control them.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave." Li Xiao nodded.
"correct."
Changsun Wugou suddenly said: "Tomorrow morning, the Ai family is going to discuss with civil and military officials about rebuilding the Six Ministries, King Yue must not be absent."
"It's not necessary, I don't understand these things, and I'd stare blankly if I went, it's better not to go." Li Xiao said with a smile, casting his eldest grandson Wugou a glance.
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Looking at Li Xiao's back, a trace of confusion flashed deep in Changsun Wugou's eyes.
Li Xiao's actions made her a little unpredictable...
At the same time, Hu County.
"What did you say?"
Li Ke looked at the messenger guard in front of him in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, the mysterious army has already fought with the Turkic army, and both sides have come out in full force, and it seems that they are ready to fight to the death." The guard said respectfully.
"madness!"
Li Ke's face was very gloomy: "Didn't he promise me to deal with Li Xiao first? Why did he fight Turks first?"
"Once he fights the Turks, no matter who wins or loses, his strength will be greatly damaged, and Li Xiao's army is in peak condition, just going to take advantage of it, when the time comes..."
While talking, Li Ke didn't dare to continue talking.
The latter result made him very upset.
At this time, another guard hurried over.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Emergency report from the front line!"
The visitor knelt on the ground with a look of ecstasy: "The news just came that the entire Turkic army was defeated and fled to the north. The mysterious army is chasing after the victory."
"what?"
Now, everyone in the lobby was shocked.
Li Ke asked blankly: "You said that the mysterious army defeated the Turkic army?"
"It's absolutely true! Your Majesty!"
"It's impossible!" Yunlong frowned and said, "It's only been less than a day since the two armies fought, how can we tell the winner? Unless the mysterious army is a heavenly soldier!"
"Your Majesty, everything this subordinate said is true, and there is absolutely no deceit! If there is any false statement, this subordinate is willing to guarantee it with the head of the project!" The guard suddenly became a little anxious.
Li Ke, however, was lost in thought, and after a while, he revealed ecstasy: "Okay! That's great! Without the Turkic foreign enemies, as long as we win over this mysterious army, why should we be afraid of Li Xiao?"
"Come on! Let's drive!"
"I want to go back to the palace!"
Chapter 438: Li Ke, Long Time No See!
Huaizhou.
Shang Mao Nogata led an army to capture this city just now.
Since most of the troops in Huaizhou City were successively transferred to Chang'an, the army led by him broke through the city almost without hindrance.
On the street, Shang Mao Yexing looked at the distressed appearance of the Tang people on both sides of the street, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth: "These lowly Central Plains people really can't help beating more and more."
"The general is unparalleled in bravery, and my Dongpu warriors are all brave and good at fighting. How could they, pigs and pigs, be able to resist?"
The general at the side said with a smile: "It took the general less than a day to capture this city. This record must be broken by no one in the next hundred years!"
The general's words made Kamimono Xing feel very comfortable, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Suddenly, someone came to report.
"General! There is an urgent report from Chang'an!"
"What's the matter?"
Shang Mao Yexing stopped, and said with some doubts: "But Turkic found the whereabouts of this general?"
"No, General! Just yesterday, the Turkic army fought a decisive battle with the army of Tang Yue King Li Xiao outside Chang'an City. As a result, the entire Turkic army was defeated. Jieli Khan's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"What did you say?"
Shang Mao Yexing looked at his subordinates in disbelief, and asked in a deep voice: "Have the Turks been defeated?"
"General, according to the news that came, the battle between Turkic and Li Xiao lasted only a few hours, and the victory was already decided."
"How many hours?" Shang Mao Yexing was stunned.
The generals on the side couldn't believe it, and showed confusion: "Is this impossible? Although the Turkic army has suffered heavy losses in the past few years, after capturing Chang'an, there are at least [-] people. There are so many people. How could it be defeated in just a few hours?"
"That's right, the two armies combined have nearly 10 people. No matter what, they will have to fight for a few days and nights, unless there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but..."
"Information shows that Li Xiao only has about 3 people? How did he manage to defeat 5 Turks in a few hours?"
After a brief silence, everyone asked questions.
On the other hand, Nogata felt a burning pain in his face.
Just now he was still complacent about breaking the city in one day, but he didn't expect that he defeated the Turkic army in a few hours.
You know, the Huaizhou he was facing had no more than a thousand defenders.
And the Turkic army is a total of [-]!
Doesn't this mean that Li Xiao is stronger than him?
This made Shangmao Yexing, who had always believed that the people of the Central Plains were an inferior race, unacceptable.
"Come here! Pass this news to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!" Kamimo Nogata said in a deep voice after pondering for a moment.
"Yes!"
"General, what should we do then? His Majesty's order is for us to attack Chang'an..."
"Wait!"
Shang Maoye frowned.
"But now is a great opportunity. Even if Li Xiao's people defeat the Turks, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. If they are given time to recuperate, it will be bad for us!"
"Didn't you hear me?" Kamimo Nogata yelled sharply, "Everyone, without my order, must not step out of the city, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"
"Yes!"
"Find out, what's going on!"
"Yes!"
"Go back!"
After Kamimo Nogata finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
Unlike Turks, Japan has a huge population base.
There are only so many Japanese soldiers who came to the Central Plains this time, and he can only preserve his strength by being more careful.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
Therefore, he had to find out Li Xiao's reality before he could make a plan for the next step.
……
Chang'an, in the city guard building.
Li Xiao looked at the list on the desk, sighed, and muttered to himself: "Three years have passed, and many people are no longer here. The world is impermanent..."
Qin Qiong is gone.
Together with Qin Huaidao and Qin Huaiyu, they died on the battlefield.
Back then, Qin Huaiyu almost followed him away.
He also has a good impression of the two brothers of the Qin family, and he also admires Qin Qiong very much.
And Fang Xuanling.
Li Xiao was very impressed with this person.
He did not expect that an old fox like Fang Xuanling would not be able to withstand the baptism of war.
These people all died because of Li Ke.
At this time, Lu Li walked in.
"Your Highness, my subordinates went to investigate and tortured all the Turkic prisoners, but the news they got was very strange."
"what happened?"
"According to the interrogation news from the Turkic side, it was only a small group of Tang troops who attacked them that day, and they were quickly cleared away. In the end, the total number of dead bodies was no more than a thousand."
"What do you mean?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.
"That is to say, Qin Qiong and Fang Xuanling did not lead all their troops to attack the Turks that day. They took nearly [-] people out of the city, but they only went to attack the Turkic camp with a thousand people."
"it is good!"
Li Xiao couldn't help but slapped the table and stood up, with a smile on his face: "It's good to be alive!"
If you think about it, if you leave a good city wall and don't defend it, but only lead [-] people to sneak attack the Turkic army with [-] people, this is simply courting death.
With Fang Xuanling's wisdom, how could he do such a stupid thing?
This is why only Li Ke, a brain-dead man, can issue such an order.
"Your Highness." Lu Li continued, "But this incident is very strange. Thousands of people were sent to attack the Turks, but Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and the remaining [-] soldiers disappeared mysteriously, and none of us Find any clues."
"Gone?"
Hearing this, Li Xiao's brows that had been stretched just now frowned again.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Our spies in several nearby cities have responded exactly, and we haven't found a large number of Tang troops."
"It's fine if you can't find it. When they know that Chang'an has been taken back by me, they will come back naturally." Li Xiao said casually.
"Don't you think it's weird, Your Highness?" Lu Li continued, "Our spies are all very good at it, and there's never been any news that they can't find, but Qin Qiong and the others dodged it, it's so strange. "
"Our people are not omnipotent, and they can understand if there are omissions, so let's ignore them."
After thinking about it, Li Xiao asked, "Where is Li Ke now?"
"He's less than [-] miles away from Chang'an." Lu Li replied, "Our people have been following in secret, should we take it directly? Otherwise, once they notice it, they will definitely run away."
"I'll go there myself!"
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, shooting out a cold glow...
On the official road twenty miles away from Chang'an City.
Li Ke is leading 3000 men to Chang'an.
Without foreign enemies, as long as he can return to Chang'an, he will still be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, a heavier hoofbeat sounded from a distance.
Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers all wearing covered metal armor came on horseback.
"It's that mysterious army!"
Someone on Li Ke's side instantly recognized it, and everyone immediately felt like an enemy.
Seeing this, Li Ke quickly shouted: "Everyone take back their weapons, they are not enemies!"
If you want to win over this group of mysterious troops, you must first show your sincerity.
Moreover, the opponent only has a few hundred riders, and he has a full [-] forbidden troops here, so why be afraid?
Soon, Li Xiao brought people to Li Ke.
But he wears a covered metal helmet so that outsiders can't see his features.
Li Ke also would not have imagined that this younger brother whom he wanted to get rid of soon, was right in front of him.
