Drawing the knife, killing the enemy, and putting the knife into the sheath, Li Hao's movements were as fast as lightning, almost instantaneous, and the three personal guards' movements were frozen for a second, and they all fell to the ground one after another, and the blood in their throats sprayed wildly, staining the ground red.

Tenzin Gangcuo, on the other hand, was fine, his throat was only scratched a little bit, oozing one or two drops of blood, he was trembling all over his body at the moment, and his forehead was full of cold sweat, because just now, he felt that he was so close to death.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Is it down?" ”

Tenzin Jiangcuo's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground on his knees: "I surrender." Seeing this, the Tubo army in the rear dropped their swords one after another, and then knelt down to surrender, and thunderous cheers suddenly sounded in the Tang army's array.

Cleaning up the battlefield, Li Hao and Xue Rengui captured all the 5,000 troops of Tenzin Jiangcuo and Tubo, and then went to Tingzhou City, Su Dingfang also returned to Tingzhou City after defeating the Ajuni and Qiuzi army, and the main generals of the three armies and the supervising army met in Tingzhou Assassin's Mansion, Li Hao finally saw Qin Wei and Wang Yuantai who had not been seen for a long time, and it was inevitable that there was a burst of sighs and greetings.

Qin Wei set up a simple banquet in the Assassin's Mansion, banqueting the chief generals and supervisors of the three armies, during the banquet, Su Dingfang picked up the wine glass, toasted to Li Hao, and said: "Poetry madness, this cup, I respect you." ”

Li Hao hurriedly got up and said: "Mr. Su, you are too polite, whether you are senior or military rank, you are higher than me, I should respect you." ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and sighed: "The imperial court has always used people, and has always used materials, if you blindly talk about seniority, it will be difficult to make progress, you have great talent in poetry, Su is not convinced, you can rest assured, when the banquet is over, let's all write a military report together, and we will definitely report your outstanding military exploits to Your Majesty." ”

Li Hao hurriedly said: "Chief Manager Su is serious, in this battle, although the kid has an inch of merit, he does not dare to take credit, General Xue Rengui is also indispensable, and General Su also repelled the army of Agni and Qiuzi......"

"Alas" Su Dingfang raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Poetry madness, if you still think that I am Su is your elder, don't say these scenes, this war, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your achievements are pouring into the sky, if you are humble, it is hypocrisy." ”

Li Hao blinked when he heard this, suddenly grinned, and said, "That's, who am I, I'm Li Shimad." ”

"What a Li Shiman, come and have a drink!" Su Dingfang took the lead in picking up the wine glass and drank it all, Li Hao was stunned, this is a strong wine.

After Su Dingfang finished drinking, he saw Li Hao's bitter face, and suddenly laughed and said: "I have long heard Cheng Zhijie say that poetry madness you don't like to drink spirits, it turns out that this is really the case, haha, poetry madness you can do as you like, now at the wine table, everyone is a good brother who fights together, don't stick to seniority and official position, Su doesn't like that set very much." ”

Li Hao climbed up the pole and said with a smile: "Since Uncle Su is a man of temperament, that kid has the audacity to trespass, but don't say that the kid doesn't know etiquette." ”

"Haha!" Su Dingfang pointed at Li Hao and said with a smile, "What kind of virtue do you kid have, Su is very clear, you just called Su a certain uncle, Su should be here, in the future, Su will be your uncle like Cheng Zhijie, if someone in the court wants to oppose you in the future, Su will be the first to stand up for you!" ”

The other people at the table were shocked when they heard this, Su Dingfang was the founding of the country, knighted Xing Guogong, and once surpassed Qin Qiong in official position, he was a veritable big man in the army, and he was extremely deterrent in the court, and now he actually publicly stated that he wanted to support Li Hao, how could he not surprise everyone.

Li Hao was also pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "With Uncle Su's words, if you leave a drop of this glass of wine, it will be disrespectful to Uncle Su!" With that, he craned his neck and drank a glass of spirits clean.

"Haha, good!" Seeing this, Su Dingfang clapped his hands and laughed, "I heard Cheng Zhijie say, you kid likes to play tricks when he drinks, shake off half a glass of wine first, and then let the clothes drink half a glass, it seems that today...... It's all Cheng Zhijie's old killer who is talking nonsense. ”

Li Hao was embarrassed when he heard this, Cheng bit Jin's broken gong mouth, why was he beeping outside all day long, this kind of was also taken out and said, he could only laugh dryly: "Uncle Su, the kid drinks with whom, like Uncle Cheng's virtue, the kid drinks with him is to shake half a cup, let the clothes drink half a cup, but Uncle Su is a bold person, if the kid cheats with your uncle, you will look down on your uncle." ”

Su Dingfang laughed again when he heard this: "Haha, if Zhijie hears this, it's no wonder if he doesn't smoke you." ”

Everyone also laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere on the wine table became extremely relaxed and uninhibited.

At the end of the banquet, they gathered at the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion and began to write the military newspaper, and everyone discussed and wrote together, how harmonious and harmonious they should be, a bit like copying homework.

In this war, Li Hao must be the first to take credit, followed by Xue Rengui, Li Hao especially emphasized that he wanted to repay Xue Rengui's merits beautifully, and he even pushed the credit for capturing the enemy army such as Shuai Tenzin Jiangcuo to Xue Rengui, because he knew that even if his credit was great, but because he was too young, the reward was limited, but Xue Rengui was different, his development space was very large, and the greater the credit, the faster he rose. Su Dingfang didn't object, because he also felt that Xue Rengui was indeed a rare talent, anyway, he was so old, he could make a little credit, give young people more opportunities, he was really optimistic about Li Hao and Xue Rengui.

After writing the report of the military division in harmony, he sent a fast horse to send it out overnight, and then went back to the camp to sleep, waiting for Li Shimin's holy decree.

A month later, Li Shimin received a report from Li Hao and Ma Zhou, and was surprised, and then he was overjoyed, surprised that there were so many countries in this battle who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and wanted to be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin immediately convened the ministers to discuss how to gallop to help them, three days later, he had to send the army to Chang'an quickly, and this time it was actually the military report of all the marching commanders and supervisors, a military report written by six people, Li Shimin looked up and laughed in the Ganlu Hall after reading it, and laughed for more than ten minutes before feeling enjoyable, cool! It's so cool! Victory! Absolute big win! It's nothing short of a miracle!

Li Shimin is now eager to immediately seal Li Hao a national duke, and then seal Li Hao a pillar country or something, anyway, he wants to give the best reward to Li Hao, fortunately, he quickly calmed down, knowing that this is impossible, the ministers will definitely oppose, so Li Shimin convened the ministers, announced the news of the victory, the ministers were also not surprised, such a disadvantaged situation, just a few days to win a big victory, this is unimaginable, and this time they captured an enemy army such as Shuai Tenzin Jiangcuo, This is the second time that Datang has captured Tubo as handsome, Li Shimin is already thinking, how much money is Songtsen Gampo going to spend to ransom people this time, well, this time you must sit on the ground and start the price, slaughter him well, no longer Songtsan Gampo will cut more meat on his body to be sorry for the loss suffered by Datang, as for how much Tubo has suffered, it has a half-dime relationship with my Datang.

The next thing is to discuss with the ministers how to take revenge, this group of foreign clans actually partnered to invade the Tang Dynasty, is it tolerable or unbearable, Li Shimin's temper is very big, he proposed, while Li Hao, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui's tens of thousands of troops are still in the desert, directly let them retaliate one by one, and solve the problems of Ajini, Qiuzi, Tuyuhun and the Western Turks together, as for Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui, the distance is a bit far, in the long run, the ministers immediately discussed, and many people said that it was inappropriate.

Li Shimin was very unhappy about the opposition of the ministers, after all, this is not in line with the character of Tian Khan, and if you have revenge, you have to take revenge, bear with it.

But the ministers said a very realistic problem, it is about to enter winter, the desert is cold in winter, it is not suitable to use soldiers, and the treasury reserves are not much, Datang must also reserve more grain, in case there are natural disasters or something, Li Shimin thinks about it and thinks that what they said is reasonable, although Zhenguan rice has been promoted this year, but there are some places that are contrary to the yang and yin, and they are unwilling to accept the new rice seeds for a while, so this year's grain harvest in Datang is not much progress, and I want to make Zhenguan rice completely popularized throughout the country. It may be another two or three years to go.

Li Shimin thought about it for another day and formulated a new plan, that is, to unify the Western Regions and place the Beiting Protectorate in the north of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which is conducive to the stability of the Western Regions and is also convenient for the defense of foreign tribes.

However, the Western Turks have a vast territory and cannot be defeated in a short period of time, so they only need to capture the Khan Futu City and then expand their territory to the west for hundreds of miles.

After hearing this, the ministers felt that this plan seemed feasible, and finally began to calculate the grain and grass, the plan was only 20,000 stones, enough for the army for two months, Li Shimin should even issue a holy decree, let Su Dingfang, Li Hao and Xue Rengui lead the troops to destroy Ajini and Qiuzi, and at the same time capture the Western Turkic Khan Futu City, to the west for 500 miles, after the victory, no need for the Holy Order, immediately return to the court.

When Su Dingfang received Li Shimin's holy decree, he frowned for a while, and sent someone to invite Li Hao and Xue Rengui to discuss the plan to send troops, now the weather has turned cold, and there are still twenty days to estimate that it will be winter, and the court has not given them much grain and grass, and they are still on the way to transport it.

For the winter in Xizhou and Tingzhou, Li Hao has deeply experienced, it is really dripping into ice, unable to fight, but the promotion cannot be violated, Li Hao finally proposed, the three of them will attack separately, attack quickly within 20 days, and try to bring as few soldiers and horses as possible, save food and grass. Then it was decided by drawing lots that Su Dingfang led 10,000 troops to attack Aqini, Xue Rengui led 10,000 troops to attack Qiuzi, and Li Hao led 10,000 troops to attack Khan Futu City.

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui both agreed to Li Hao's proposal, and the three of them acted separately, Li Hao led 10,000 troops and hurried to Khan Futu City.

Khan Futu City was built in the desert, although the city is not high, and there is no moat, but there are 20,000 Western Turkic elite soldiers guarded inside, which can be said to be a hard bone, far more difficult than destroying Ajini and Qiuzi, if you want to take it in a short time, you have to have more than twice the troops, but Li Hao only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, this difficulty is even greater.
