Chapter 288 Meet Sister Yun again

At night, the study was terrifyingly quiet, and the dim light shone on Li Ke's mature face, which showed a gentle and faint emperor's attitude. In the northern expedition to the Turks, Li Ke dared to use the entire Bingzhou troops and dared to fight with Tuli. He had already had his own plan in his heart, which was to decide the world with one battle, and he did not want to drag the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to the end of Tuli's return to the Tang Dynasty like in history.

At this moment, someone shouted outside the study door, "Your Highness, I will report Chen Qi something."

"Come in!" Li Ke took back his thoughts and said lightly.

"Cruff--" The door of the study opened. Chen Qi and Hou Hu walked into the study and bowed to Li Ke. After the ceremony, Chen Qi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, according to the news that the Eagle Guard's Secret Guard was in Youbei, the 30,000 cavalry of the Turi were the vanguard of Zhishili, and the 30,000 cavalry of Zhishili, had fought against Tuli several times. Tuli was afraid of the 100,000 troops behind Zhishili. In order to preserve its strength, it was only sent 15,000 people to fight. The current battle situation is very unclear. Zhishili has basically wiped out more than 10,000 cavalry of Tuli, and is preparing to defeat Tuli in one round with Fuzhen."

"Is the news accurate?" Li Ke asked without any expression.

"Return to Your Highness, the end of the news will be sent by the secret guards arranged in the Mobei grassland, and there will be no mistakes." Hou Hu replied, Li Ke asked him and Meng Shan to be responsible for the intelligence department in Mobei, and his answer was very important to Li Ke.

"Okay! I want to defeat the Tuli tribe in one fell swoop, but it's just the same as my king!" Li Ke sighed, "Do you know that Tuli's left wise king Fuzhen and the pioneer general Zhi Shisili knew about Tuli's bigger Tang Dynasty's request for help?"

"Based on their next move, I probably knew the news long ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been in a hurry to fight Tuli to decide the outcome." Chen Qi thought for a while and answered.

"Continue to reconnaissance, you can't let a clue go, do you know?" Li Ke's expression became very serious and his tone was also very strict.

"The last one understands!" Chen Qi and Hou Hu replied.

"Does the Turks have any movement in Dingxiang's troops?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"Dingxiang's scouts were frequently dispatched, but the army did not make any noise!" Hou Hu replied.

"How is the situation in Taiyuan? When will the food and supplies arrive? When will the troops arrive in Yunzhou?" Li Ke asked.

"When you go back to Your Highness, according to the secret guards, it will take five days to eat and supplies. As for the troops from each prefecture, it may take about eight days to gather in Yunzhou." Hou Hu continued to answer.

"You go down! Report to me immediately if there is any situation." Li Ke said. When Chen Qi and Hou Hu left, Li Ke looked at the map in front of him and remained silent. Hou Hu's information just now was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. Tuli's situation was already very dangerous. If Fu Zhen and Zhi Shisili join forces to defeat Tuli, even if his rescue failed, it would affect the subsequent plan! But now if he sends troops, he can only be able to keep it unbeaten when the troops are insufficient, and it is difficult to win!

Li Ke began to fall into deep thoughts and was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to decide. Should he strive to be unbeaten? Or should he wipe out the Thirteenth army of Fu Zhen and Zhi's power according to his own ideas?

The cold wind at night blew into the study, and the coldness solidified the warmth in the study, and the quietness was like a sharp sword piercing the hustle and bustle of the day, and everything returned to peace.

Time passed without realizing it, and the battle situation of Jie Li's army and Tuli's troops was sorted out with the report of the secret guards. At the beginning, both sides only launched a tentative attack, and each suffered losses. However, the morale of the Tuli side was lower than that of Jie Li's army.

The five-day wait finally made Li Ke wait for the food, supplies and more than 20,000 troops and horses escorted by Li Mengchang and Xu Jingzong. With Li Mengchang's left camp of the Bingzhou Cavalry and Infantry Army, Li Ke felt much more at ease. At least these 25,000 troops increased his chances of victory, that is, now he will not be too short of troops in terms of military strength. Just as everyone was discussing affairs in the hall, Li Ke received a report from the guards, saying that the envoy of Tuli was asking for a visit.

Li Ke immediately ordered the guards to take Tuli's envoy to the hall. After a moment, Ashinayun led the guards to the hall of Li Ke's temporary headquarters. The appearance of Ashinayun was something Li Ke had unexpectedly expected, but before he could come back to his senses, Ashinayun politely said, "The envoy of Tuli Ashinayun has seen His Highness the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Princess, don't be too polite, please sit down!" Li Ke said politely.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Asunayun sat down and said, "Father Khan has selected the best 30,000 war horses from our troops to deliver them to His Highness. The war horses can arrive outside Yunzhou City in the evening. At that time, please send someone to take over."

"Oh?" Li Ke said happily, "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely order them to take over the flattery, but what I want to ask is, how is the battle between the two Khans of Tuli and Jie Li's army?"

"We have fought with Jie Li's vanguard, and the two sides have won and lost. However, our losses are relatively large, so the morale of the army is very low now." Ashinayun said worriedly, "And the 100,000 troops of the Right King Fuzhen were just watching the battle behind. We don't know his intentions yet, so my father Khan dared not rashly dispatch the army to fight."

Then, Asunayun asked again, "I wonder when your highness will send troops?"

"Don't worry, Princess, I ordered the troops of various prefectures to gather in Yunzhou. I believe that they will arrive in Yunzhou City in less than three days. I will definitely send troops to rescue you at that time." Li Ke thought for a moment and replied, "I just don't know how to contact the second Khan of Tuli at that time?"

"Your Highness, Father Khan has promised me to follow the palace as an envoy to contact Tuli." Ashinayun said.

But as soon as she said this, Li Ke felt a little excited, but he still concealed his disobedience and said with a smile, "Princess, please go down and rest first! We want to discuss the plan to send troops, and I will talk to you in detail when the result is achieved."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Asanuyun said in a low voice, looking at Li Ke quietly as he left the hall.

"Du Junchuo!" Li Ke ordered, "You are responsible for taking over the 30,000 war horses sent by Tuli."

"No" Du Junchuo went out and replied.

"Zhang Gongjin, Du Junchuo, Li Mengchang, Sun Erlang, and Liu Rengui." Li Ke continued to order.

"The last one is here!" the five people went out and shouted loudly.

"As soon as the 30,000 war horses arrived in Yunzhou City, you five immediately selected 5,000 horses to start training their respective cavalry. Be sure to meet the king's requirements within three days." Li Ke said sternly.

"No" the five people shouted in unison.

"Chen Qi" Li Ke continued.

"The last one will be here!" Chen Qi said out of the list.

"You have to choose the remaining five thousand war horses for the Eagle Guard and Wolf Cavalry Camp, and let them ride fierce horses. I need them in this battle." Li Ke seemed to be ordering, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"No!" Chen Qi replied.

"You all go down! Do your own things well, and when the army of Bingzhou prefectures arrives at Yunzhou City, we will set off immediately." Li Ke ordered.
