Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

What should I do when I can't fight?

It seems that I can only run away.

Jieli Khan was a little aggrieved. If I had known this earlier, I might as well have fought with Li Jing in Dingxiang for real. At that time, the outcome was still 50-50. Now that he lost his right-hand man, he didn't even have the chance to fight hard, because it was no different from sending him to death.

"Give me an order, the whole army will be rectified and ready to retreat to Yinshan Mountain," said Jieli, resisting the urge to vomit blood.

When the generals heard that the order from Shang Wang was "retreat" but "go up and fight", they couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and they all responded: "No!"

Although there was nothing wrong with the idea of ​​retreat, Xieli's retreat was not smooth. On the way to withdraw the army to Yinshan, he met Chai Shao by the Hun River.

Chai Shao is Li Yuan's son-in-law, and he married Princess Pingyang, who should be regarded as Li Shimin's brother-in-law and Li Xin's uncle. This person made great contributions as early as the time of Li Yuan's uprising. Although his level of bravery was not as strong as that of Cheng Yaojin, he could still be regarded as a good general who could fight well.

In the six-way army that Li Shimin set up at the beginning, Chai Shao was the commander of the Jinhe Road march, and Qin Qiong was the deputy general, and he was also in the army at this time. From the very beginning, their position was to go around and outflank Xieli, so as to prevent him from continuing to flee northward. Now that they ran into Xieli's army head-on, how could they not fight?

The people on Xieli's side were originally thinking of running away, how could they have any fighting spirit? On the other hand, Chai Shao was marching thousands of miles, and he was holding back all his energy to fight a battle, and his morale was so high that it was unbelievable.

Comparing the two, Xieli's side was naturally defeated, and there was no decent resistance at all.

Fortunately, Xieli had loyal guards to protect him, which saved him from losing his life in the chaos. He fled all the way to Tun Tieshan with the rest of his troops. After gathering all the stragglers and counting them, Jieli realized that he only had more than 10,000 troops left.

With this level of strength, it is completely useless to fight Tang Jun, and it is even difficult to escape.

Jie Li sat on the ground in disgrace, with his personal guards surrounding him, preventing others from seeing the king's distressed appearance at the moment. It was originally a group of defeated troops, if they saw the general's appearance again, they would lose their hearts and be unable to lead them.

To be honest, Xieli didn't think of it at all. More than a month ago, he had asked Ashnadur to attack Suzhou, but in a blink of an eye, it would be his turn to be chased by Li Shimin like a lost dog. There is a huge gap among them, and it is difficult for those who have not experienced it personally to understand what happened.

When ordinary people face such changes in circumstances, it may take a long time to regain their balance. But thinking about a hero like Xieli, he still has a heart that is many times stronger than ordinary people. He was only depressed for a while, and then gradually calmed down.

Emotions are things that don't help most of the time. The most important thing for those who achieve great things is to learn how to overcome emotions and control them.

Jieli looked at the devastated army, silently thinking about what to do in the future.

It is definitely impossible to fight. With such a small amount of family background, if the fight continues, not to mention all defeats, even he himself is at risk of being captured alive by the Tang army. It's better to pretend to surrender first, buy some time, and then slowly figure it out.
