The border between the Tang Dynasty and the forces of the Liang State is separated by a mountain range.The mountains are lying on the ground, and there are roads leading to Shuofang.Li Ji led 3,000 men and horses and set up a camp south of the mountain range to monitor Shuofang's movements.In addition to the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Li Ji personally to set up camp here, Li Ji also sent troops to other places where the Liang State bordered the Tang Dynasty.Externally, Li Ji said that he was patrolling the border defense.Li Ji has been camping here for more than two days.At the beginning, a team of 100 cavalry from the Liang side came here to spy on it.Half a day after the cavalry left, another Liang team of more than 1,000 people came here and set up camp in the territory of Liang.The camp of the Tang Dynasty and the camp of the Liang Kingdom are separated by seven or eight miles, and neither of the two sides crosses the mountain, but they are all right.In fact, after receiving the news that there was an abnormality in the Bingzhou army, the Liang division wanted to send more troops to camp on the border.However, his cousin Liang Luoren admonished Liang Shidu, saying that he should beware of Li Ji moving the tiger out of the mountain and attacking Shuofang after drawing out Shuofang's army.Liang Shi felt that Liang Luoren's words were reasonable, so he only sent a small number of troops to monitor the movements of the Bingzhou army.Shuofang City, on the other hand, shrank its forces and prepared to defend the city.At the same time, Liang Shidu also sent envoys to ask the Turks for help.Liang Shidu did not know that the Turks had taken away Tang officials.Although he passed through Shuofang when he returned to the Turks, he only knew that Wang Hui wanted to explore the production method of the secret weapon of the Tang Dynasty, and he would not have thought that Wang Hui would change his mind and directly kidnap Zhao Yunze.Therefore, for Wang Hui's actions, the premise of losing his thinking power was not mentioned in front of Liang Shidu.Although Liang Shidu was a traitor who was very loyal to the Turks, he was not a member of the Turkic headquarters after all.The tribes of the Turkic headquarters are still wary of each other, how can they be discouraged by Liang Shi if they lose their mental strength.In case Master Liang knew about Wang Hui's affairs and took away the method of making the secret weapon, the Turks would not have become a problem for raising tigers.Therefore, Liang Shidu could not know the purpose of Li Ji's sudden movement of soldiers and horses.He thought that Datang was going to clean him up.Liang Shi was one of the first forces to raise troops during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the rebel forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty were finally destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but Liang Shi relied on the protection of the Turks to survive to this day.It can be said that, except for the Tang Dynasty, the Liang division was the longest-lasting among the various rebel forces in the late Sui Dynasty.Because of this, Liang Shidu has always been worried that Datang will use troops against him sooner or later.It is precisely because of this that Liang Shidu hugged the Turkic thighs tightly and was willing to be a slave of the Turks.A few months ago, the Xuanwumen change occurred in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor was replaced by Li Shimin's ass, and Liang Shidu was even more frightened.Li Shimin's ability and courage, Liang Shi is well aware, he is afraid that Li Shimin's new monarch will take the throne with three fires, and he will destroy him first Liang Shi to establish prestige.He instigated the Turks to invade the Tang Dynasty.When Liang Shidu heard that the armies of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan were marching smoothly and attacked all the way to Chang'an, his heart suddenly blossomed.As soon as Datang is destroyed, he will no longer be a threat.Perhaps, the Turks will also hand over large swathes of the Central Plains to their own governance.But unexpectedly, the Turks finally came back in disgrace.Liang Shidu's heart was cold.Only then did he realize that today's Turks were no longer the Turks of the past.Not only was he afraid of Li Shimin, but also Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan were afraid of it, because of his fear of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as he received the news of the change in the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, Liang Shi panicked.It took at least two days for Shuofang to reach Jieli Khan's wolf tent Yin Mountain, while Li Ji's soldiers and horses only needed half a day to reach Shuofang.If Li Ji suddenly used troops against Shuofang, it was still unknown whether he would be able to hold out until the Turkic reinforcements arrived.Fortunately, Li Ji only set up camp at the border, and there was no follow-up action, and Liang Shi was somewhat relieved.But he was even more puzzled in his heart, if Datang wanted to use troops against him, he should launch a surprise attack and go straight to Shuo Fang.But Li Ji made such a gesture, is it just to scare himself that the people of the Tang Dynasty are full of food, and the Liang Shi is all puzzled in Shuofang, and Li Ji is also puzzled on the border.Looking at the number of soldiers and horses sent by Liang Guo, it doesn't look like they are here to fight against themselves, they can only come to monitor themselves.Could it be that Liang Shi didn't know that the Turks' actions would not succeed, but Li Ji did not dare to relax, and sent countless scouts every day to investigate the situation everywhere.In the afternoon, a scout sent south reported that he had spotted a strange procession marching in the area where the army was encamped.Li Ji asked what was strange about the team.The scout said that the front of the team looked like a caravan, and the rear of the team was the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses.Li Ji wondered at that time, what the hell is Cheng Biting Jin, this rammer, how can he still be a guard for the caravan, Li Ji is worthy of being a general, he pondered for a while, and then figured out the general situation.That caravan must have been pretended to be the Turks who kidnapped Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er, and Cheng Biting Jin didn't beat them, there was only one reason, that is, the Turks threatened the lives of Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er.Li Shimin's holy decree to Li Ji made it very clear that everything was based on the personal safety of Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er.Li Ji also learned about Zhao Yunze from Cheng Yanjin, and Li Ji also knew the importance of Zhao Yunze.His mission this time was to save people instead of fighting, but it was more disturbing than fighting.Fight and plan everything, just fight, it's a big deal, the horse leather shroud, and after death, you can win the fame and shadow the descendants after death.But saving people is different, no matter how good you can fight, no matter how many soldiers and horses you bring, people only need to put the knife on the neck of the person you want to save, and you won't be able to use any tricks.If the mission fails, resulting in the death of the person to be saved, then the little fame that I won through hard work in the first half of my life may be gone.Li Ji, who thought about this, also sympathized with the difficulty of biting gold.It seems that he will soon be in the footsteps of gold, and he is in a dilemma.Although Li Ji is a famous general on the same level as Li Jing, his use of troops is different from Li Jing.Li Shimin once commented on Li Jing and Li Ji: Li Jing is in the right position with his troops, first planning and then moving, good at fighting the enemy with a dignified array, commanding the big battle, Li Jing is the first choice of the commander; Although Li Jing's ability to command major battles is not as good as Li Jing's, in small battles, he can often win more with less, and win with odds.is this "Li Yin man" who is good at using soldiers with tricks, and now he has encountered an unsolvable problem.In the future, a hostage rescue battle like this would only require a sufficient number of snipers to shoot the robbers in the head.However, the ancients did not have thermal weapons, and long-range weapons were only bows and arrows.Even if you send archers to snipe the enemy, the bow and arrow are not as lethal as a gun, and the enemy can still kill the hostage after being shot by the bow and arrow.This is also the reason why Cheng Yanjin and Li Jizhu are worried."
Alas, I can only make a decision on the spot."
Li Ji sighed and gave the order.He personally led 500 soldiers out of the camp to prepare to intercept the "Turks"
