Chapter 130 one twenty nine

Mu Yikuan closed his eyes, and said in a weaker voice: "Why is my body so cold? Is my blood about to run out?" At this time, Shi Luodie suddenly kicked open the door and rushed in, almost crazy Regardless of the obstruction of Bo Tie who was following behind, he picked up a scythe for mowing the grass and was about to cut towards Mu Yikuan.It was too late to say that, a hand stretched out and snatched it, Shi Luodie said angrily: "Which son of a bitch is so bold, I hope this prince won't cut you off!" It turned out that it was Jieli who led Yi Nan and others to stand aside.Shi Luodie was half awake: "Father sweat! My son..."

Jieli said coldly: "He's drunk, take him back to his room. From now on, these guests are not allowed to disturb them without my order." The two guards supported Shi Luodie, but Shi Luodie seemed unwilling. Leaving, while struggling, he turned his head and shouted to Jieli: "Father Khan, Li Shimin has imprisoned Erchen for so long, you should let Erchen pay back the debt!" Yi Nan stood aside and watched Ankang and Mu Yikuan rubbing each other's ears, feeling a little jealous in his heart. A large flag fluttered in the wind, and two groups of purge soldiers were lined up in front of a large tent in the company battalion. This was the base camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.In the big tent, Yuchi Jingde was sitting on a handsome chair, looking at the generals majesticly and said: "Hu Kou is cutting wood day and night on the other side of the Hun River to build a raft, it seems that they want to seize the ferry, Chai Shao, hurry up Send 5,000 troops to reinforce and strictly prevent the enemy from crossing the river." Chai Shao responded, "Yes."

Li Shiji, who was standing in the class of generals, said: "Deputy Commander! The general thinks that Hu Kou's raft building at the Hun River Ferry is more like a bluff." Yuchi Jingde asked displeasedly: "Why do you see that? Li Shiji said: "The Hun River is shallow and only small boats can go in the river. What's the use of him taking the ferry? Besides, it will freeze in a few days. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to cross the river on ice? According to the general, they The bluff is for a sneak attack on Evil Sun Ridge." Yuchi Jingde smiled: "The Hun River ferry is useless, so is this earthen village surrounded by water on three sides useful?" Li Shiji cupped his hands and said, "It's useless right now, but once it freezes, the waterways around Eyang Ridge will be damaged." We can run horses and cross carts, and our army on the entire cloud battlefield will be divided into two by it, unable to help each other, and the enemy cavalry can attack us at will, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yuchi Jingde asked: "Then how many people do you think should be put there?" Li Shiji replied that at least 10,000 people should be put there, and Yuchi Jingde sneered: "Is a small evil Yangling so important? If even here Let 10,000 people go, even if you send a million people, they will not be able to defend the hundreds of mountains around Yunzhong. What else will Yunzhong's army use to attack Jieli's old camp? Maogong, don't make too much of a fuss ! I think it’s enough to put a thousand people up there!” Li Shiji wanted to quarrel, Yuchi Jingde waved his hand and said: "Don't talk anymore, I, Yuchi Jingde, have been fighting for decades, I'm not someone who has never seen the world." Speaking of this, he left with a flick of his sleeves.Li Shiji looked blank, everyone was looking at him, he felt bored, and walked out with a gloomy expression.The generals in the tent talked a lot, Gao Zengsheng, the governor of Minzhou, muttered: "Why is the deputy commander so angry?" A general revealed that Li Shiji was proposed to be the deputy commander this time, but several veterans objected. Firstly, because Yuchi Jingde's character was higher than Li Shi's, and secondly, Yuchi Jingde followed the emperor on the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, and he had the merits of protecting the emperor, and the emperor has always attached great importance to him, so the final decision was made by the court. Or Yuchi Jingde.Gao Zengsheng showed a look of sudden realization: "No wonder, the deputy commander must have listened to something, and there is a lump in his heart!"

Later facts proved that Li Shiji's worries were right. Yuchi Jingde's carelessness brought bad results. Three days later, Ashina Simo raided Eyang Ridge. . On the night when Ashina Simo captured Eyang Ridge, Li Jing, who had traveled all the way, came to the tent of the Tang army in the cloud.Yuchi Jingde ushered him in, pointed at the commander-in-chief: "Marshal, please—I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to your co-ordination! I've been waiting for half a year, and I don't know what the court wants. When will the middle battle start?"

Li Jing looked at Yuchi Jingde and said coldly: "The battle has already begun! I saw the fire on Eiyang Ridge on the way here. Our army has already lost the first battle in Yunzhong." Dare to make a sound, Li Jing glanced at everyone, and when his eyes swept over Yuchi Jingde, Yuchi Jingde lowered his head.Li Jing went to the back of the commander's case and said loudly to the generals: "The decisive battle of the Northern Expedition begins today! Jieli violated the frontier for many years, which is a disaster for the court and a disaster for the world. Victory in this battle will lead to the prosperity of the country, and defeat will lead to the perishment of the world. We have no choice but to win. But to win this battle, we must first retake Eiyang Ridge! After retaking Eiyang Ridge, Jieli set up in Dingxiang The old battalion is exposed to our soldiers, and the decline of our army on the battlefield can only be reversed!"

Li Jing took out the sword in his waist and put it on the table, saying: "This imperial gifted sword has been placed in this tent from now on. If this battle is defeated, any of you can use this sword to take my head , If any of the generals shy away from the battle, then I will use this sword to take his head off his neck, do you hear?" All the generals said in unison: "Yes!" Then Li Jing began to deploy troops, and sent Chai Shao, the general manager of the Jinhe Road March, to attack from the left flank at dawn the next day, rushing to the east of Eiyangling before noon, and took the cottage at all costs.The soldiers and horses of other generals such as Li Shiji, Xue Wanren, and Li Daozong were also arranged accordingly.

At dawn the next day, a few morning stars remained in the sky, and the tip of a large "Tang" flag appeared on the horizon east of Eyang Ridge, rising continuously, and then two, three, and finally countless battle flags covered the sky .The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty neatly lined up and marched behind the banner.The sound of their horseshoes shook the field, and flocks of birds were startled from the grass and jungle, flying in mid-air in a panic. Li Jing led the generals in front of a powerful cavalry phalanx. He waved his sword and said loudly to the generals: "It has been ten years since we lost this territory in front of us. For ten years, the army of the Tang Dynasty has been burdened with losses. The shame of the country, we were ordered to take back this land, but just after the battle started, we lost another piece of land, we can only wash away this shame with blood and victory! Go forward—” Tang Jun was like a burst of violent Rush towards the west like the wind!Soon there was a shout that shocked the world from under the Eyangling mountain stronghold.
