Datang: Princess Changle was kidnapped at the beginning

Xue Rengui came closer, saw that Lin Chen was in a daze

, and shouted: "Village master!" Lin

Chen, who came back to his senses, looked at Xue Rengui, who had a slight abrasion on his face, and couldn't help but ask with concern

: "Is there a big problem?"

Xue Rengui hurriedly arched his hand and thanked:

"Thank you for the concern of the village master, the subordinates are fine, just a little bruise." The

expression of gratitude and adoration in his eyes was even greater.

I still remember that when he first came to the cottage, he was very amazed by the various magical things in the cottage made by Lin Chen.

thinks that this Lin Chen is a strange person who lives in seclusion in the world.

But after this battle with the Turkic army, he got to know Lin Chen again.

This person not only has amazing talents, but also strategizes on the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a soldier saint.

With his own strength, he made this fierce Turkic army of 200,000 retreat in defeat.

If you want to say that you still admired this Lin Chen before, now you can only describe it with respect.

Fortunately, when he was in Chang'an City at that time, he entered the Drunken Immortal Residence, otherwise, how could he see and stay by the side of such a god?

Being able to follow Lin Chen's side to do things, he Xue Rengui has no regrets in this life!

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui hurriedly reported again:

"The owner of the village, his subordinates have come to see something that they want to explain!"

Lin Chen naturally didn't know that he had inadvertently gained another general who swore allegiance to the death, and when he heard that Xue Rengui had something, he nodded lightly and motioned for him to continue.

"The owner of the village, it's like this, the people around us who were sheltered before don't plan to leave now, they have formed up spontaneously, and they will also join the escort team of the cottage!

Speaking of this, Xue Rengui couldn't help but ask with some embarrassment:

"Owner of the village, do you ......look at this?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, just now he was thinking about getting some people to come over, but now that he has it, isn't this ready-made?

Anyway, the surrounding land Li Shimin has also been allocated to himself, and it is not a problem to grow more grain and feed some people.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded directly and agreed:

"If you want to join the guard, you still have to take the assessment, you go and be responsible for selecting some strong ones to join the cottage guard, and let Wang Mazi also pick some helpers."

"After this war is over, the trade routes will naturally be opened, and there will be insufficient manpower.

"The rest will follow the old farmer to learn how to farm!" When

Xue Rengui heard this, his face was overjoyed, the owner of the village asked him to choose the escort team, naturally he trusted himself very much, and he naturally had to work hard to do a good job.

He hurriedly surrendered his hand, packed the ticket and left.

At this time, Lin Chen was thinking that the number of this escort team could be expanded.

Thinking

of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Chang'an City with burning eyes:

"With Xue Rengui, there seems to be a Su Dingfang

...... "......

." The court meeting on the second day of the Xuanzheng Hall

of Chang'an City

was held on time.

Hundreds of officials gathered, and everyone was in the main hall talking about the attack of the Turkic army.

Apparently I didn't sleep well last night!

Now that the Turkic army has reached the doorstep, it is really strange to be able to fall asleep at this time.

The officials were worried all night, and as soon as they came to the court, they began to discuss.

Li Shimin was even more anxious at night, and asked the chamberlain several times in a row, but there was a battle report.

waited until the early dynasty began, and did not wait for news.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and he couldn't stop worrying in his heart.

"Could it be that something happened?"

Yesterday afternoon, after Cheng bit the gold and ordered the troops, he led the troops out of the city.

It stands to reason that these 10,000 Turkic forwards, according to the speed of travel, should have met a long time ago.

Not only Li Shimin, but even the officials of the entire court are anxiously waiting for this news.

"Battle report!"

At this time, a herald sounded outside the hall, and everyone immediately became nervous.

I don't know whether this battle ahead will be won or lost?

This battle has a bearing on the fortune of the entire Tang Dynasty!

Seeing a herald striding into the hall, even Li Shimin, who was on the dragon chair, leaned forward and looked at the herald with some nervousness.

At this time, the entire court was silent, and everyone's hearts were even more raised, staring closely at the herald.

The herald official couldn't help but swallow and spat

at the mouth, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Cheng has now led 5,000 iron horsemen back to the court! Now he has arrived at the gate of the city

!" Hearing this, Li Shimin was suddenly startled, and suddenly got up and asked

, "Are you back?

!" Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, he heard another loud shout outside the hall:

"Your Majesty! General Cheng is back!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes immediately turned to the direction of the door.

I saw that Cheng biting gold, wearing Mingguang armor, walked to the hall, and respectfully saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand nervously and

said, "No courtesy, no courtesy, can this trip go smoothly?" He

is still wondering, whether this is a victory or a defeat, and why has not a single news of the battlefield come back? Hearing this

, Cheng Yanjin grinned and said

, "Your Majesty, the ministers have not been beaten!" Hearing

this, all the officials present were in an uproar.

What does this mean

?" "Isn't this going to compete with the Turkic forward? Moreover, the Turkic 10,000 vanguard army, supported by the army of more than 100,000 behind it, and crossed the Weishui River, which is bound to fight with the 5,000 iron cavalry sent out by the Tang Dynasty!"

"How could it be that there was no fight

?" "Could it be that you surrendered

?" "This is cowardly in battle, so you surrender directly?"

"......"

After the officials conjectured for a while, they suddenly felt a little bad when they looked at Cheng Yanjin's face.

Even Li Shimin, who was on the dragon chair, couldn't help frowning, he didn't think that Cheng Yanjin would be attacked by the Turkic barbarians.

I just think it's a bit weird.

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin was very proud again, he was really a little uncertain for a while.

That Cheng Yanjin looked at everyone looking at him with a strange expression, so he hurriedly explained:

"The minister led five thousand iron cavalry all the way to the bank of the Weishui River, and he didn't even see the shadow of the Turkic army!"

Hearing this, everyone was even more puzzled.

"Could it be that the Turkic barbarians

are lost?" "Isn't it that there are two scum of the imperial court leading the way, how can you get lost if it is so close to Chang'an City

?" "Impossible! impossible!" "

Or is General Cheng lost?"

Everyone looked at Cheng Yanjin with strange looks, obviously questioning his professionalism.

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin was suddenly unhappy.

How could he not find the road after marching and fighting for many years?!

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said angrily:

"The Turkic army of 200,000 has been beaten away by Lin Chen!"
