Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 129 Li Shimin's Thoughts
Inside the Turkic camp.

The Turks who had launched a night attack last night were sleeping in a daze. At first, some of them vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves, but did not pay much attention, thinking that it was the troops led by Momedagan returning.

In addition, they had not slept either day or night yesterday, and were frightened into defeat and fled. The Turks who rushed here overnight and were under the command of Duomuduolu were so sleepy that they did not want to get up.

However, after a long time.

After hearing some panicked noises and then howling sounds, many exhausted Turks realized something was wrong.

When they stood up one by one, walked out of the tent and looked outside, they were all horrified to find that the Sui cavalry were chasing and killing the Turks all around.

what happened?

Seeing this scene, all the Turkic men were so frightened that they pissed their pants and peed their pants. Some of them retreated and fell directly to the ground with their hands and feet going limp.

Finally, more and more Turks realized that something was wrong and began to flee.

In the camp horse ranch.

When many Turks saw the Sui cavalry coming to attack them, they didn't care about anything else and just fled on horseback.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

Xing Ming, Xue Hong and Yue Ming led the soldiers and went straight to the Turkic horse farm, completely destroying the other Turks' idea of escaping on horseback.

"kill!"

As he killed the fleeing Turks with one sword, looking at the countless Turks around him who were running away in fear, and listening to their frightened voices, whether it was Xing Ming and his companions or other soldiers, they all felt extremely happy at this moment.

They had all forgotten how long it had been since they had seen the Turks look like this, running away in such fear.

Looking at the tens of thousands of horses in the racecourse.

Even Xing Ming, Xue Hong and Yue Ming felt a little dry in the mouth. The great victory this time made their scalps tremble and their hearts were filled with shock.

"kill!!"

"kill!"

In the camp, the Sui army soldiers on horseback kept chasing the fleeing Turks.

Faced with the high-spirited soldiers of the Sui army and the cavalry soldiers who had won victory after victory, the already collapsed Turks did not even have a chance to resist.

The fubing system was different from that of previous dynasties.

Every ambush soldier is a soldier who has been fighting for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say from another perspective that each of them is supported by the people and has been trained in the past. What they are best at is killing people on the battlefield. Therefore, at this moment, they showed no mercy to the Turks.

Many older soldiers had been stationed in the north when they were young, making the Turks afraid. After more than a decade of fear, their morale has been restored, as if they have returned to the early years when the Central Plains troops were invincible. Some older soldiers even had red eyes with excitement, just like they did in the past, picking up swords and killing the Turks at the risk of their lives.

Only the older generation of soldiers know what the lost glory meant to the north.

On a hill.

Li Shimin and Fu Zihou rode on their war horses, accompanied by Zhishi Wuli and a few close associates, and looked at the Turkic camp. They saw that all the Turks were fleeing in panic.

"Look! You Turks, you obviously don't have to go south, and there is no need for this war between us! You have looted so much supplies over the years, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry!"

Li Shimin spoke, and then looked at Zhishi Wuli.

"We will release you back to Turkic as agreed, but we hope you can abide by the agreement! Don't let what happened today happen again in the future!"

Li Shimin spoke while riding on his horse, staring straight at Zhishi Wuli.

"I will!"

Zhishi Wuli nodded helplessly and looked at the camp in the distance, which was filled with smoke, the cries of Turks, and the figures of Sui cavalry chasing and killing Turks.

"But I still ask you to give the order and let my men go!"

Zhishi Wuli made a request to Li Shimin and Fu Zihou.

"Since we have an agreement, we are allies. Now the Turks have no ability to resist, so please stop slaughtering us Turks!"

Zhishi Wuli said.

Li Shimin thought that these Turkic troops were indeed Zhishiwuli's followers. If they were all killed, it would also affect Zhishiwuli's return.

But whether to kill or not, whether to order the release of the person...

In the end, Li Shimin still had to look at Fu Zihou.

Li Shimin looked at Fu Zihou's eyes when he looked towards the camp, and combined with Fu Zihou's previous inquiry about whether to kill more Turks this time, Li Shimin vaguely felt that Fu Zihou seemed to have the idea of killing all the Turks here.

This made Li Shimin feel a little tricky.

However, in comparison, Li Shimin could understand that since ancient times, the nomadic tribes in the north, whether in the north or the south, have been regarded as not of our kind and their hearts must be different. They wanted to kill all the nomadic tribes and not give them the opportunity to invade the south again and burn, kill and rob.

Fu Zihou also gave Li Shimin the same feeling.

After fighting with Zhen Zhai'er's bandit army, Fu Zihou saw the corpses of some sixteen or seventeen-year-old bandits on the battlefield, and there was some helplessness and regret in his eyes.

However, when Fu Zihou saw the death of the Turks, he never had such an expression. He was even hungry and didn't care that the roasted horse meat was stained with the blood of the Turks.

Li Shimin couldn't guarantee at the moment whether Fu Zihou wanted to kill all the Turks and try to kill all these tens of thousands of Turks in Yanmen.

"One Turk for one of the people you plundered to the north!"

When Fu Zihou saw Li Shimin and Zhishi Wuli looking at him, he said to Zhishi Wuli.

Because of the arrow wound and the lack of bandage, Fu Zihou's face, which was covered in dust and sweat, was covered in blood on one side, and the wound was particularly hideous and conspicuous.

"I have to take them back before I can let them go south!"

Zhishi Wuli did not reject Fu Zihou's request. Compared with the population, Zhishi Wuli cared more about his subordinates.

Just when Zhishi Wuli was worried whether Fu Zihou would agree.

"it is good!"

Looking at Fu Zihou's decisive appearance, Zhishi Wuli was surprised, but when he saw Fu Zihou's appearance and the look he gave himself.

Zhishi Wuli knew clearly that this was a verification of himself by Fu Zihou and he could go against his will, but only in the future.

I am afraid that any Turk, no matter whether male or female, old or young, who falls into Fu Zihou's hands will not escape death.

on the plains.

As all the fleeing Turks were gathered together, there were more than ten thousand people, not to mention that there were other fleeing Turks in Yanmen County at this moment, and those people were no longer able to resist.

finally.

After discussion, Fu Zihou and Li Shimin agreed to send people to gather all the Turks and bring them back to the north.

Because Fu Zihou sent people to take away all the Turkic war horses, he was not worried about the Turks gathering together and posing a threat.

Until sunset.

Zhishi Wuli had just gathered the remnants of his defeated troops. As for war horses, he did not care. In the north, the Turkic tribes had enough war horses, not to mention that they could plunder from the enemy tribes in the east of the grassland.

"who are they?"

Duomuduolu was also among the Turkic crowd. Without the cover of the Turkic army, there were scouts in Mayi and Yanmen. Duomuduolu would inevitably face many difficulties and dangers if he returned to the north alone.

Upon learning that Zhishiwuli had negotiated terms with the people of the Central Plains to exchange Turks for those of the Central Plains, Duomudulu changed into ordinary clothes and mingled with the crowd. When he saw that Zhishiwuli did not bring him before the Sui general, he finally calmed down and found an opportunity to come before Duomudulu.

"One is called Li Shimin, the other is called Fu Zihou!"

Zhishi Wuli looked at Duomu Dulu and said, "It was Fu Zihou who guessed last night that you would use the golden eagle to attack at night, and also guessed that you would definitely come back!"

Zhishi Wuli told Duomu Dulu what happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Duomudulu's pupils shrank.

Last night, it was really guessed!
The opportunity for the sneak attack, the time, and the return were all decided by himself, so Duomu Dulu knew that Zhishi Wuli had not lied to him.

"This person will definitely be a serious threat to the Turks!"

Duomu Dulu said to Zhishi Wuli, his heart full of worry.

What happened last night was so weird that even when thinking about it now, Duomudulu couldn't help but shiver and felt a chill down his spine.

Having such a Sui army general is definitely not a good thing for the Turks.

While Duomudulu was thinking, he was looking at the young Sui general in the distance, and suddenly he found that the young Sui general was also looking here. He was shocked. For some reason, even though they were far apart, Duomudulu could feel that pair of eyes were on him.

Those eyes seemed to see through oneself, which was scary.

"Hide..."

Hearing Zhishi Wuli's words, Duomutulu quickly averted his gaze.

"what happened?"

Li Shimin looked at Fu Zihou and asked curiously.

When Fu Zihou heard Li Shimin's voice, he turned around and looked at Li Shimin.

"Nothing, I just felt something was a little strange!"

Fu Zihou said.

He wanted to think more, but when he saw Li Shimin piercing his face with his own hands and felt the pain on his face, Fu Zihou took a breath.

Afterwards, the armor was removed, and Fu Zihou's body, which was originally wrapped in cloth, had become much stronger during these few months.

But at this moment, the wounds on the chest and shoulders were particularly eye-catching.

Li Shimin looked at Fu Zihou's bandaged cheek and his injuries, and realized that Fu Zihou had endured many attacks in order to free up his hands.

"Captain! We have already counted them! Thirty-three thousand four hundred war horses, excluding the injured, there are still twenty-nine thousand! There are a total of forty thousand sheep and livestock!"

Hu Jingyuan and Yin Tianzong hurried to Fu Zihou and reported to him in shock and excitement.

"so many!"

When Li Shimin heard the report, he was surprised and spoke excitedly, then looked at Fu Zihou.

Li Shimin never expected that he would get so many intact war horses in this battle.

Before Fu Zihou could say anything, he saw Zhishi Wuli coming over and saying that he wanted to take people back to the north.

Fu Zihou nodded, and after Zhishi Wuli continued his conversation with Li Shimin, he watched Zhishi Wuli leave.

"The remaining one is Zhen Zhai'er in Taiyuan!"

Li Shimin said.

Fu Zihou nodded, looked at the bloody armor that had been cut into many holes, and did not put it on again.

"Let's go! Let's go meet the Yanmen garrison!"

Fu Zihou said, holding his own warhorse with one hand and handing Li Shimin's horse reins to him with the other.

"You really don't want this horse? Momo Dagan's mount is a cross between a Ferghana horse and a Western Region horse. Its strength and speed are far beyond that of ordinary horses. You have seen before that if it weren't for this horse, Momo Dagan wouldn't be able to move so easily on our side!"

Li Shimin said to Fu Zihou.

"You killed Momedagan, so his horse should be yours! I won't take this horse no matter what you say! Besides, this horse is a rare and good horse. With your archery skills, having such a horse will be even more powerful!"

Fu Zihou did not want Momedagan's warhorse. Li Shimin killed the man, so the warhorse should belong to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was good at riding and shooting and was easily approached, so he needed this horse.

"..."

When Li Shimin heard Fu Zihou's words, he was a little amused.

Looking at the horse in front of him, Li Shimin's statement that he was moved was fake.

The man didn't like the BMW, the beauty, the sword, and Li Shimin declined them all because of Fu Zihou.

Before this, it was Fu Zihou who led the troops to rescue him. Not to mention that Fu Zihou had always been taking care of his feelings in secret. In the later battlefield, he even risked his life to block the enemy for him, and even threw away his lance and beloved sword. Fortunately, he picked them up after a great victory, otherwise Fu Zihou's beloved sword would have been lost.

Compared to this warhorse that made his heart so excited, what Li Shimin cared about more was Fu Zihou!
After hearing Fu Zihou's words and looking at his expression, Li Shimin knew that Fu Zihou would not accept the horse no matter what, so he did not insist.

"I hope I, Li Shimin, will not let you down..."

Li Shimin raised his hand and stroked the horse's cheek, as if thinking about something and talking to himself.

But when he saw Fu Zihou climbing onto his horse, he felt pain because of his wound.

Looking at Fu Zihou, Li Shimin felt extremely close to him but also a little guilty.

No matter what, I will find a better horse and a better sword in the future and give them to him!
..............................

Inside the east city of Jinyang.

"It's been almost half a month in the blink of an eye. Why is there still no news from him?"

Cui Wenjin looked anxious, then bit her thin lips and came to Di with an indignant look on her face.

"Help me get some information!"

When Cui Wenjin said this, he felt embarrassed, thinking back to when he was in Jinyang West City, he had threatened the other party, but now he was making demands on the other party.

Born into the Cui family, Cui Wenjin had never bowed his head like this before.

But for that young man!

Cui Wenjin endured it and lost face, so he bowed his head and begged Di.

If there was any news about that young man, or if he knew that he was in danger, Cui Wenjin could at least find a way.

"The entire Jinyang! There is no news!"

Di looked at Cui Wenjin's appearance and shook her head slightly.

"It's not just in Jinyang City. It's said that even the rebels in Taiyuan County outside the city are looking for Fu Zihou, but there's still no news!"

As Di spoke, there was some surprise in her eyes. After all, she couldn't imagine why Fu Zihou and his troops seemed to have disappeared.

It is said that long before this, Fu Zihou led his troops to rescue people from the siege of bandits.

But where did he go after that? Why is there no news at all?

"Don't worry! As long as there is no news about the bandits, he will be safe. Di Xing is in the city to help gather information!"

Di comforted Cui Wenjin.

Now, it was not only Mrs. Di who noticed something different about her younger brother, even her grandfather and the clansmen noticed the difference. Although they could still see the cowardly and incompetent look of the past in Di Xing, sometimes the tone of Di Xing's voice and the look in his eyes were a little different.

Now, without realizing it, Di Xing has his own unique channels for the news of the entire Jinyang, and even the news of the rebels outside the city. Sometimes he even gets the news earlier than Guo.
