Chapter 19

Driving the cattle, sheep and horses back along the original road, Le Jia said sullenly, "My lord, why should we distribute the spoils we got to these people?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "Le Jia, you can't eat a big fat man with one bite. Now we have a limited number of people. Although we have disrupted the Turkic camp and gained a lot, as long as the Turkic people gather all the ministries, they are still Turkic. There is absolutely no way for our troops to strike the enemy effectively on this vast grassland. Now the Turkic camp has been pulled out, and the troops of various ministries are in chaos. At this time, we have a good opportunity to fight, but we don’t have the troops to fight, so we can only let them fight for us. , to expand the results of the battle, now is the cold winter, and it is difficult for the Turkic people to survive without cattle and sheep."

Guo Xu interjected behind him: "Your Excellency's move is clever, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, it is reasonable to give a piece of fat to the defenders, but in fact he wiped out the small group of wandering Turks through their hands."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Yes, we have too little power in our hands. If we ask them to cooperate, no one will pay attention. After all, no one is more powerful than anyone else, but if we give them a piece of fat, then no one will refuse This indirectly helps us infinitely expand the results of the battle."

Le Jia snorted and said, "So that's the case. Why did my lord keep such a good thing and don't want it? It turns out he has other plans."

"It's not that we have other plans, but that our strength is too weak. If we want to gather the strength of the entire Hexi and fight a big battle, then we must cooperate and annihilate an Ashina Dagan this time." , the next time it will be their little Khan, who will nibble away at them step by step and drive them from Hexi to Mobei."

The group of people nodded silently. Ever since Long Feiyu led them to slaughter two thousand Turkic soldiers, they had developed trust in Long Feiyu. Now that the battle is getting bigger and bigger, their number has not increased. There are only a handful of famous generals who have fought like this since then, and such famous generals are only Bai Qi, Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing.

The battle in Hexi ended quickly. It was beneficial. How could those guards not take the initiative to attack? Under the attack of the entire defense line, the Turkic people collapsed and retreated towards Mobei and the grasslands to the east, giving up the generation from Wuwei to Yumen. Lands under Turkic control.

The Hexi defenders who took the initiative to attack gained a lot from this battle. They, who had scolded Long Feiyu for nothing, laughed from ear to ear, acquiescing to Long Feiyu's existence from the bottom of their hearts.

There was such a big commotion here, the Liangzhou prefect naturally wanted to report the matter, and sent Kuai Ma to Chang'an after writing the memorial.

Yumen Long Feiyu looked at the cattle and sheep brought back by everyone, and said with a smile: "Has Le Jia calculated the results of the battle?"

"The statistics have come out. Five thousand were captured, ten thousand horses were captured, and countless cattle and sheep were captured. This time, the Turkic people near Hexi were maimed. They will have to think about going south in the future."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Okay, let the army masters slaughter a batch of cattle to make beef jerky, and then kill a batch of sheep, so that the soldiers in the army can have a good year."

After winning the battle, Long Feiyu commanded a group of people to start messing with the New Year's things.At this time, the war in Hexi had spread all over Chang'an, which made the gloomy Chang'an city more cheerful and laughing.

Inside the palace, Li Shimin looked at the military newspaper in front of him, looked at his confidantes and said: "This is really not a peaceful winner anywhere, is there any movement from the Turkic side?"

"No, this time the Turks suffered a loss in Hexi and withdrew their soldiers to Mobei. Our investigation system can't reach Mobei, but what is certain is that they will retaliate. Now that the Liang division has been defeated, he The possibility of attacking from the direction of Mayi is no longer great, they can only attack from Hexi, and they will definitely not be willing to fail."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said: "Xuan Ling is right, but do you think the boy can withstand the attack of the Turks?"

"It should be possible. This time the battle in Hexi, under the connivance of this kid, has connected the defenders who had never interacted with each other into a line of defense. Once there is a reliable general to lead, this line of defense will be destroyed at any time." You can attack the enemy in any direction." Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, interjected.

As for Li Jing's words, no one doubted, nor dared to doubt. His military commanding ability and Qin Shubao's force were recognized by the entire Tang army. Naturally, no one refuted what he said.

Li Shimin thought over and over again, and asked a little questioningly: "Is this kid capable of making Liangzhou Governor Shi command the troops stationed in various places in Liangzhou?"

"Yes, this man's march is quite organized. I have read the battle report. The former captain died in battle. When the defenders saw the Turks, no one rushed to fight, but he was uncharacteristically driving everyone out of Yumen, closing the city gate and The Turkic people fought to the death. There was a bit of a desperate posture, which caused the soldiers to take down the Turkic soldiers in one fell swoop. As a result, morale dropped. Now it is feasible to use him as the long-term commander to control the Hexi garrison."

Li Jing is authoritative, and Li Shimin will definitely consider his words carefully, and the talent shown by Long Feiyu shocked these ministers.This is a dark horse that came out halfway. Although His Majesty yelled to fight and kill, he didn't actually take any action.This allowed them to see clearly the ambiguity between the two, so they couldn't pay attention for a while. Except for Li Jing, the military commander who had the right to speak, the rest of them kept their mouths shut.

In case this kid survives a catastrophe and becomes prosperous in the future, it’s okay to remember that I have harmed him. What’s more, this guy is only sixteen now, and they are already half-buried. Relying on this person to follow the Buddha, if you lose your sense of propriety at this time and offend others, it would be bad.

Li Shimin saw that everyone was speechless, so he concluded: "Okay, since you all agree, let him assist Zhang Lan in commanding Liangzhou."

Long Feiyu was promoted to an official, but Long Liang couldn't be happy. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, his son was still in the frontier, where the weather was cold, and he wanted to see him, but he was afraid that he would let him go. His Majesty became suspicious and thus planted a catastrophe. He could only look northwest helplessly and sighed.

Seeing him sigh, Faye Wong walked over slowly not far away, put a cloak on Long Liang, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Long, don't worry, Feiyu will be back soon."

Long Liang sighed and said, "There is something I haven't told you all this time. My child, you don't owe our family anything. I know you've been managing your family's business in Chang'an. It's okay to live with me. But if you want Think for yourself as soon as possible, don't worry too much about Yu'er, it's not certain when he will come back."

Faye Wong shook her head stubbornly and said, "What did Uncle Long say, I said I will wait for him to come back, no matter how long it takes."

What Long Liang wanted to say, looked at Faye Wong with a sincere face and was speechless.
