The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Then should we fight them?" Tuli asked.

He and Jie Li had the same idea, they both wanted to go south and take advantage of the unstable situation in the Tang Dynasty to force the Tang emperor to pay tribute to them.

"Li Shimin will definitely negotiate with them at that time." Jie Li said: "At that time, whether to fight or not depends on their sincerity. The warriors of our grasslands are not vegetarians. Although the front army lost 5,000 people, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be afraid of our hundreds of thousands of troops."

When that time comes, he will ask for the debt of these 5,000 people together!

The details of the annihilation of the front army were unknown, because no scouts came back alive to report. Until now, Jie Li did not know the situation in the Jinghe Valley, nor did he know that the Tang army had such a weapon as gunpowder.

The Tang army also had a large number of troops. It was not easy to ambush their 5,000 front army here, but it was not difficult to say how difficult it was.

Jie Li felt that it must be that Ashidewumeichu was too careless in his march and fell into the trap of the Tang army, which led to his defeat.

"What we need to do now is to send scouts out and try to find out information. We have marched here. All the scouts were originally sent by the front army. We have been in contact with the front army, so we know everything. Now Ashidewumeichu is defeated, and we don’t know much about the deployment of the Tang army. Before that, we should settle down at the place where Ashidewumeichu originally camped, and don’t move forward anymore."

Ashidewumeichu was defeated because Li Fu was so mean that he seduced others, which made Ashidewumeichu lose his mind. The main force chased to the Jinghe Valley and was destroyed by Yuchi Gong.

But the place he chose to camp was a good place.

The terrain there is relatively flat, and it is close to the water source, which is suitable for the army to rest.

"I have sent people to investigate there. I believe the scouts will send back the news soon." Jie Li said.

Not long after he finished speaking, the scouts came back.

"How is it?" Jie Li asked.

"We went to see the place where Ashidewu Meichu Teqin camped. There were traces of the army camping, but now there is nothing except the corpses on the ground. All the tents and utensils, including the pots used by the army to cook, are gone."

It can't be said that it was bare, but apart from the corpses, Li Fu did not leave them anything.

Not to mention the pots, even the wooden racks for the braziers were not left for them.

Just like Li Fu said, even if it is useless to take it back, it is a good firewood for making fire and cooking.

Not to mention, maybe these things were robbed by the Turks from the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Fu led his men away, five hundred people could not carry so many things, so they simply used the three hundred captives as donkeys, letting them carry the baggage and carry it all back.

And the Turkic people captured by Yuchi Gong could not be idle either, they had to take away everything they could take away from the battlefield.

Without ox carts and horse carts, why not use the ready-made Turkic oxen and horses?

Therefore, Ashidewumeichu lost this battle, not only did he lose manpower, but also turned the living people into the oxen and horses of the Tang army. They had to do all the work that oxen and horses could do, and they had to do the work that oxen and horses could not do.

Otherwise, why feed them with one meal a day? Waste of food?

The Tang army had two meals a day, but these Turkic prisoners of war only had one meal a day, and they were not good people, so they just had to eat a few bites to avoid starvation.

"Are you sure Ashidewumeichu is camping there?" Jie Li looked at the scout with some suspicion.

"Khan, I'm sure that's where Ashidewu Meichu Teqin camped." The scout said, "Those corpses are our logistics troops. Where they are, that's the camp."

The scout's tone was full of confidence.

But he had fought many battles, and he had never seen a camp that was looted so cleanly.

Even the cooking pots and fire pots were not spared.

The fire pot was scalding hot, how did they take it away?

Aren't the Tang army afraid of burning their hands?

The scout never thought that the Tang army was afraid of burning their hands.

But in the eyes of the Tang army, those captives were not afraid. Besides, whether the captives were afraid of burning their hands, what did it have to do with their victorious Tang army?

"Who is the leader of the Tang army this time?" Jie Li asked.

"I haven't found out yet." The scout responded truthfully.

"Then go investigate carefully! This is very important!" Jie Li shouted angrily: "Go investigate quickly and report back quickly."

"Yes."

The scout responded and then quickly left the tent.

"This time, it's really strange." Tuli said: "It seems that the Tang army didn't have this style before.This time, their style of action seems to be much tougher. "

"Tough?" Jie Li sneered: "The tougher they are, the more afraid they are. They want to scare us, but we are not scared."

Jingyang County, Tang Army Camp.

After returning to the camp, Li Fu had a good sleep and slept until the afternoon.

He got up from the camp bed and stretched comfortably.

Li Wu heard the movement in the tent and walked into the tent.

"Your Highness, are you hungry? Do you need some food to be sent to you?" Li Wu asked.

"Send, just a simple meal will do. Don't tell me, I am really hungry. "Li Fu said.

I didn't eat last night. I was running back and forth, which was very tiring. After I came back, I fell asleep in the tent. I haven't eaten anything yet. How can I not be hungry?

However, thinking of the scene of the Tang cavalry charging and killing the Turks in the camp, Li Fu's appetite was still a little bit low, but his stomach was really hungry.

I could only bear it and force myself to eat.

I was starving without eating.

While eating, Yuchi Gong came.

"General Manager." Li Fu stood up and greeted Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Gong waved his hand, motioning Li Fu to sit down and continue eating.

"You can't drink alcohol in the army, but you are an exception. I brought you some wine, not much." Yuchi Gong said: "I heard that you woke up, so I came to see you. "

When he came back, Yuchi Gong felt that Li Fu's face was not very good. He thought that it was the first time for him to see the cruelty of the frontal battlefield, and he thought that he would not be able to adapt, so he made an exception to comfort him and chat with him.

Alcohol is prohibited in his army. This is a small pot of wine that he asked someone to get out. This little wine is not drunk.

"Thank you for your concern." Li Fu said with a smile.

"I saw that you didn't look very good when I came back. Drink something to calm down." Yuchi Gong said: "After returning to Chang'an, get drunk once, and everything will be over."
