Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 32 Returning to Yumen
The blizzard is coming, the blizzard is coming, except for the brave army of the Tang Dynasty who are wandering between life and death, Xue Yantuo's soldiers who are used to this kind of weather are retreating quickly towards the eastern grassland at this time.

Once caught up by the blizzard, they knew what kind of predicament they would face, and Le Jia received a letter from someone.Nodding his head, he walked towards Xue Yantuo's court alone.

In the royal court, Yi Nan was talking to Gu Si: "General Gu, where did General Long go to herd horses? Why hasn't there been any news for three days?"

Gus shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either, but according to those followers, they seem to be heading east."

Just as Gus finished speaking, a guard came in and said, "Khan, General Le Jia of the Tang Dynasty, please see me."

"please"

Le Jia strode into the royal court, bowed to Yi Nan and said: "Khan, I received an urgent report from the general, saying that a blizzard is coming, and countless cattle and horses froze to death along the way, in order to avoid the blizzard , he has already driven the cattle and horses towards the direction of Yumen. He specially asked his subordinates to come and bid farewell to you, Khan."

Hearing Le Jia's words, Yi Nan's eyes lit up.It suddenly occurred to him that the other party had been gone for three days, and now he might not be far from Yumen, and it would be futile to chase him, so he looked at Le Jia again.Even if he keeps Le Jia, it's useless, but it will offend the people of the Tang Dynasty. This kid has nothing, and it's not worth keeping him.

Thinking of this, Yi Nan's gloomy face suddenly turned into a smile and said: "General Le, you are polite. Originally, this king planned to personally escort General Long to Yumen, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity. Please convey my respect to General Long for me. .”

Le Jia hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Sure, sure, then I will return to the Tang Dynasty, Khan take care."

Yi Nan nodded, seeing him click Tu Lejia turned and walked out of the big tent, got on his horse and left here quickly.Seeing him leave, Yi Nan overturned the table in front of him angrily.

Originally, he wanted to use the people of the Tang Dynasty to gather the hearts of the Western Turks for him, and then ascend to the position of the Khan of the Western Turks.Who knew that this Long Feiyu would not let him in the slightest, and directly recommended himself as the commander of the coalition forces.

In the end, his team suffered heavy losses, but the credit was taken by them alone. The only advantage was that they captured some Turkic tribes and expanded the territory.Yi Nan's heart felt as if blocked by a boulder, and he panicked.Suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, the whole person shook a few times and fell to the ground, fainting.

Le Jia turned back to the camp and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, the general may have arrived at Yumen at this time. We have nothing in our hands now. The general left two thousand horses for 500 of us. We can go all the way. Run wildly back to Yumen, remember not to rest on the way, or we will be in danger once the body heat is exhausted. Got it?"

"know."

"Okay, then get on your horse quickly and rush to Yumen."

Following Le Jia's order, the crowd rushed all the way in the direction of Yumen.

After a day and night of long-distance raids, Le Jia finally arrived at Yumen in the morning.Seeing the return of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, Guo Peng, who was guarding the city, hurried down the tower and came up to Le Jia.

Seeing Guo Peng, Le Jia was puzzled and said, "General Guo, is General Long back yet?"

Guo Peng shook his head in confusion and said, "No, you are the first batch of people who have turned around in the past half month."

Hearing that Long Feiyu didn't come back, Le Jia said in shock: "No way, the general left three days earlier than us, so he should have returned before us, so nothing happened on the way, right?"

Hearing Le Jia's words, Guo Peng was puzzled and said, "Didn't you come back together?"

Le Jia shook his head and said, "No, the general and the others came back early with 35 oxen and horses."

"35? Be darling, did you bring so many horses and oxen? If you call it a sheep, I can accept it."

Le Jia didn't explain, but said anxiously: "General Guo, a blizzard that is rare in a century has occurred in Turkic territory. The general and the others are moving slowly with their cattle and horses. Let's call all the military doctors and prepare to meet them in the deep grassland. In case of being caught by the blizzard It will be a big trouble to catch up with that."

This matter was too important, and Guo Peng did not take it lightly.He nodded in agreement and said to the guards behind him, "Quick, hurry up and pass on my general order to gather all the military doctors, and send all the loose riders to go deep into the grassland to search for the general and their traces."

"Yes"

As soon as the guard walked down, there was a sudden cheer from the tower: "The general is back."

With a cheer, everyone hurriedly looked into the depths of the grassland, and there was a large black mass of cows and horses walking towards the direction of Yumen.

With a cheer, those soldiers hurried out of the city to meet the return of these heroes.But what caught their eyes was not a large army, but a group of strong horses. At this time, their legs were as if they had been filled with lead, and they could no longer walk.They couldn't move them one by one, and they were desperately eating the withered grass on the grass. It can be seen how anxious Long Feiyu and the others were urging them to hurry in the past few days.

At the back of the team, Su Dingfang ran over on his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city, go out and stop these cattle and horses, and replace all the brothers outside the city. They haven't dismounted for several days."

Following Su Dingfang's call, soldiers came out of the city on horseback one after another.The soldiers who followed Su Dingfang and the others fell off their horses one by one, and the horses they were riding on also fell to the ground because of the unbearable weight, panting heavily.

The gathered military doctors hurriedly carried these people into the Yumen. Guo Peng looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Old Su, where is the general?"

"The general is at the back of the line, urging them all to move forward."

Guo Peng snorted, looked at the cows and horses who couldn't see the side, and said, "This time the harvest is not small, right?"

Su Dingfang nodded and said: "This time, under the leadership of the general, we defeated the [-] Turkic army in one fell swoop and captured countless."

"One hundred thousand? No matter how powerful the general is, he can't use ten thousand to defeat one hundred thousand, right?"

Su Dingfang laughed and said: "There is also Xue Yantuo's [-] coalition forces, a total of [-] under the general's command, defeated the Turks in the first battle, and the general shot Xieli's son to death with an arrow."

Su Dingfang was talking here, when Long Feiyu came over from behind and snorted angrily: "What are you doing here? The soldiers behind have already fallen to the ground, hurry up and get something to cover the snow and wipe their bodies , people will be stiff after a while."

Hearing Long Feiyu's words, everyone rushed to the back in a hurry.Long Feiyu turned his head to look at the leaving crowd, and suddenly his body tilted and he fell off the horse.

The soldiers not far away saw Long Feiyu fall, and hurriedly shouted: "General, general, come quickly, the general has fainted."

With a shout, several people who had just left Su Dingfang gathered around again. Looking at Long Feiyu's thin clothes, Guo Peng said anxiously: "What's the matter with you? You made the general wear such thin clothes in such a cold day." .”

Su Dingfang said helplessly: "In order to heal the wounds of the soldiers, the general wrapped his own woolen coat around the wounds of others. This is how we walked through the cold weather."

Listening to Su Dingfang's deep voice, everyone present swallowed and choked up unconsciously.Being able to fight under such a general, they will die without regret.

In the palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin sat beside the fire with Empress Changsun wearing the cotton blanket that Long Feiyu had sent back.Roasting the fire, watching a group of children laughing and playing together.

Li Shimin stared at Sanbao who was not far away and said: "Sanbao, after this visit to Yumen, I found that you have changed a lot, you are not as dull as before, and you have become much younger. Can you tell me why? ?”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, San Bao knew that his relationship with Long Feiyu would be exposed sooner or later, so fortunately he came and said, "Your Majesty, that Long Feiyu is the only flesh and blood of my sister whom I have been looking for for many years. After being married to this family, I let go of the anxiety in my heart for many years, so I feel at ease."

Li Shimin said, "Didn't you say that Long Feiyu went to Mobei? Now it's freezing cold and they go to Mobei, aren't they looking for death?"

Just as Sanbao was about to answer, a courier hurried in and shouted, "Mobei victory."

Hearing the great victory, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly sparkled, the soldier hurriedly came to Li Shimin, knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, there is news of the great victory in Mobei from the direction of Yumen."

Li Shimin didn't have any joy on his face, but asked lightly, "What is a great victory?"

The visitor excitedly said: "Liangzhou governor, Long Feiyu went to Mobei at the agreement of Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan, and set up a thunderbolt to ambush the western Turkic tribes. Wan Dajun killed more than 3 people and captured countless people. They have already returned to Yumen."

Hearing this news, Li Shimin was suddenly shocked and said, "Are you sure you're not lying about the military situation?"

The visitor shook his head and said, "No, they drove back from Mobei 35 cattle, horses and donkeys, and 38 taels of gold."

"Gold? Where did so much gold come from?"

"Long Changshi took the opportunity to collect the cattle and sheep of the Turkic tribes when he was chasing and killing the Turkic tribes, and then sold 500 million sheep to the Western Turkic tribes at a high price."

"For sale, this bastard, dare to sell it with spoils of war."

The soldiers hurriedly explained: "Mobei is cold and the ground is shaking. The 500 million sheep will all freeze to death if they can't reach Yumen. This time, most of the 35 cavalry led by General Ma Long to drive 8 cattle have been frostbitten. Now they are still recuperating, and more than [-] cattle and horses have froze to death.”

"What about Long Feiyu? Let him come to Chang'an to meet me."

The soldier said anxiously: "General Long took off his cotton coat to protect the wounded soldiers from the cold, causing the cold to enter his body, and he is still unconscious in Yumen."

Hearing that he was unconscious, Sanbao said anxiously: "Then how is he doing now?"

"I heard from the military doctor that there is no serious problem. It's just that the cold air entered the body and severely damaged the liver in the body. If the recovery is not good, it will easily leave sequelae."

Over there, Li Shimin took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.This kid always made him tremble with fear. Originally, he wanted to kill him all the time, but he couldn't do it every time when things came to an end.So I gave up several times, but I was always unwilling to do so.I thought that if I didn't see this person for a long time, I would forget him and execute him.

But this frown and smile seems to have a magical power rooted in his mind, thinking of him, Li Shimin has an urge to see him, but when he sees him, there is another urge to strangle him, and secretly sighed, Li Shimin said: "Go and send a few imperial doctors to express the court's condolences to the soldiers who fought bloody battles in the frontier."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

After the soldier finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the border guards will report that there has been a once-in-a-century storm in Mobei, and countless Turkic cattle and sheep have froze to death. They are currently migrating to the eastern grasslands. They call for a fight."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Sanbao, go and inform the ministers to discuss this matter with the court."

"Yes"

Sanbao said, turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace. Li Shimin was also overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly called the maid to put on the court clothes.
