The night covers the sky, and after dinner.

Messengers from the front sent back news from the northern battlefields.

In the study, Yang Yue, Nan Daoming, and Ye Qinghu were already discussing the deployment of a new war.

The messenger hurried to the mansion and delivered the news to the study guard.

Yang Yue got the news from the front line and learned that Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming were returning from leading the army, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After reading the letters, I learned that the second general led 100,000 elite horsemen, and after strict deployment, seized a piece of Turkic money, grain, people, cattle, sheep and horses!

However, militarily, he did not completely annihilate the elite cavalry of the king of Zuogu Li, but let the king of Zuogu Li lead his troops to flee into the city of Xidu.

In this regard, Yang Yue has a lot of complaints.

This was a premeditated military operation, but in the end it did not receive the expected effect, at least not the total annihilation of the Liwang of the Left Valley.

It's not good to say!

Dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming led the troops to victory, and captured a lot of cattle and sheep and horses, and captured a lot of Turkic people, which greatly weakened the power of the Turks.

This battle is triumphant, and Yang Yue is more and more urgent to deploy the next war.

Ye Qinghu, Nan Daoming After reading the letter, he was surprised and wondered why Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming, the two fierce generals, under careful and detailed arrangements, did not easily eliminate the Zuogu Liwang Division.

Fortunately, they also know the strength of the Turkic tribes, and they know that the Liwang of the Left Valley is not easy to deal with.

"Ye Qinghu, Nandao Ming, in the past, Agus led the army to be beaten by us, this battle, Zuogu Liwang escaped by luck, proving that there are also brave and good fighting elite soldiers in the Turks, and generals with a degree of command, in the future, go deep into the Turkic interior, and must not despise the Turks!"

When he thought about it for a while, Yang Yue said with a serious face, and he was also reminding Ye Qinghu and Nan Daoming.

There is a mountain and a mountain high, and the strong have their own strong hands.

Ye Qinghu, Nan Daoming never dared to despise anyone, let alone the overlord in the grassland in the past?

This incident did not affect Yang Yue's arrangement of the three of them for the new battle.

At midnight, Zhao Xuanhu, Lin Kaiyue, and Zhang Shaoming led the troops back to the city.

Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming hadn't even changed their clothes and had not rested, so they immediately went to the mansion with Zhao Xuanhu to report to Yang Yue about the problems encountered in the battle.

The battle with the Zuogu Liwang was not a very bad battle in the eyes of the two of them. But it's not particularly outstanding.

What's more, the fearless momentum of the Zuogu Liwang and the will to fight endlessly left a deep impression on the two.

Arriving in the study, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Zhao Xuanhu were really surprised to see Yang Yue, Nan Daoming, and Ye Qinghu staying up all night to discuss military affairs.

The three generals bowed to Yang Yue and saluted, Lin Kaiyue stepped forward, and said ashamedly: "The last general has insulted the emperor's order, and failed to completely annihilate the Zuogu Liwang according to the emperor's arrangement, and the army lost 20,000 people in the battle!"

Zhang Shaoming on the side was silent and did not defend himself.

Yang Yue motioned for the three of them to sit down, and asked loudly: "General Lin, the messenger reports, the front line is victorious, how many enemies have been annihilated?"

This elite team has not sent back news for a day and night, and Yang Yue has already guessed the battle situation on the front line, and it may not be as smooth as expected.

Although it was a great victory, it was normal for the Tang army to suffer losses during the battle.

Lin Kaiyue heard the sound and said: "From the ambush to the pursuit, the last general and General Zhang will annihilate about 80,000 enemies, and the king of Zuogu Li will only return to the west with less than 20,000 people!"

"Eighty thousand?"

Yang Yue muttered softly, the Zuogu Liwang Department has a total of 100,000 elites, and the loss of 80,000 people in this battle is equivalent to the loss of the main elite.

The elite was almost lost, and even if the king of Zuogu led 20,000 people to return to the city of the west, the king of Zuogu was also crippled.

Of the three Turkic elites who went south, two were severely damaged by the Tang army, and the 30,000 defenders of the Yan Department were killed in the surrendered city.

Within a few days, the three elites were hit to varying degrees.

This must have dealt a severe blow to the momentum of the Turkic cavalry.

In addition to being happy, Yang Yue asked with a serious expression: "Let's talk about it in detail, why did it take a day and night, and still didn't hit the Zuogu Liwang Department hard?"

20,000 were lost in battle, and 80,000 were destroyed.

Yang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with this battle.

In a day and night, the elimination of an elite Turkic army could not be better for the Tang army!

However, when the Tang army carried a large number of firearms and arranged an ambush in advance, it still did not completely eliminate the other party, and Yang Yue must know the cause and effect of the matter.

Lin Kaiyue nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Shaoming, and reported to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, it is not the last general who shirks his responsibility, nor is it that the Tang army is not brave and good at fighting, all because the cavalry of the Liwang of Zuogu is very different from the Turkic cavalry encountered in the past, this Turkic cavalry can fight well, and the will to fight is very strong.

"Your Majesty, even if the Turkic royal court iron cavalry is attacked by all kinds of firearms of the Tang army, the soldiers often decline before fighting, and their momentum falls to the bottom.

However, the Zuogu Liwang Department is becoming more and more courageous and courageous, and the more frustrated it is, fortunately, the Tang Army's armament, armament, will, and tactics are superior, otherwise, any cavalry of the Zuogu Liwang Department may be annihilated instead!" Zhang Shaoming organized the language and said his feelings.

He personally led the army to ambush and witnessed the bravery, fierceness and unyielding of the Liwang of the Left Valley.

Fortunately, in addition to hitting the other party, I also sincerely admire.

Ye Qinghu said: "Your Majesty, King Zuogu Li is the only prince of the opposite sex among the four princes of the Turks, he has won the trust of Argus by virtue of his rich military exploits, and the cavalry led by him is brave and good at fighting, which is also expected!"

When Yang Yue thought about it for a while, he said: "This battle killed 80,000 elites of the Liwang Department of Zuogu, although it did not completely eliminate the other party, but it also played the prestige of the Tang Army, General Lin and General Zhang are all meritorious ministers, Zhao Xuanhu recorded the military exploits of the two generals, and after eradicating the Turks, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds!"

Hearing this, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming's faces showed joy, and the emperor recognized their merits, which couldn't be better.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

The two of them clasped their fists and saluted!

Yang Yue waved his hand, cleared his throat and said: "Last night, General Li led the army to recover the surrendered city, and is currently stationed in the city with Yuan Mingsha led the army, and General Luo led the troops to attack the surrendered city in the east, although he did not recover the lost territory, he also killed many Turks who defended the city!"

Nowadays, the number of Turks in the north of the Tang Dynasty is very limited, even if they still occupy several cities in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army has been completely in an absolutely dominant position, and the elimination of the remaining 100,000 Turkic cavalry is just around the corner.

In the future, the generals should consider Yiran and Timur, and when the Sassanid did not send an army, the only way to destroy the Turks was to rely on the Tang army."

At this moment, Yang Yue no longer takes the remnants of the northern remnants of King Zuoxian, King Zuo Guli, Yan Xingjun and others in his eyes.

He is planning to deploy the complete extermination of the Turks.
