Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

"This is the best opportunity." Li Jing emphasized again, and said resolutely, "As long as you cooperate with me, no matter what happens to Tang Jian, if His Majesty blames him in the future, or Tang Jian's family members have any accusations, I will do my best. The responsibility is, it will never be implicated in your head."

Li Ji smiled wryly, "That's not what I meant."

He is not afraid of taking responsibility. It's just that such a thing has violated his usual principles, so he feels hesitant. However, at this moment, he could also clearly perceive that standing in front of this great opportunity to make contributions, Li Jing constantly exuded an aura that he had no choice but to launch. This momentum makes people feel as if they are oppressed.

Li Ji seemed to have no choice.

Putting aside the moral flaws of this plan, Li Ji has to admit that this is the plan with the highest success rate and the lowest cost at the moment.

He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

As the saying goes, compassion does not command soldiers, and one has to let go of more than half of one's humanity on the battlefield, otherwise how can one kill the enemy? Once human nature is weakened, the pursuit of morality will have no foundation, and it will appear a bit ridiculous.

Li Jing is very clear about this truth. So from the very beginning, he concluded that Li Ji would definitely agree, it was just a matter of time.

Therefore, Li Jing and Li Ji's soldiers and horses cooperated in one place.

That night, Li Jing ordered 10,000 fine horsemen, each with 20 days of rations, and went deep into the Yinshan Mountains, heading straight for the tent of King Xieli that the scouts had found out. But Li Ji followed behind with the rest of the army, and also entered Yinshan——most of the remaining sergeants were not cavalry, so they moved slowly and could only follow behind.

In the middle of the night, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. It's snowing, and it's big. This is not a good thing for Li Xin who needs to move fast. However, there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

"Let it snow when it snows." Li Jing said to Lieutenant General Su Dingfang, as if talking to himself, "When the wind and snow are heavy, the march is less likely to be noticed by the Turks, and it is more likely to succeed."

Su Dingfang forced a smile.

What Li Jing said was not wrong. The wind and snow did bring favorable conditions for a sneak attack, but it also slowed down the marching speed of the army, and at the same time greatly increased the risk of getting lost. Li Jing also knew about these things, but he selectively ignored them because he had no other choice.

The Yinshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with a wide range, undulating mountains, and a very complicated geographical environment. This is also an important reason why Jieli chose this place as a fleeing place in his panic. Coupled with the impact of the wind and snow, I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

After six days of advancing, Li Jing's army hadn't even seen a Turkic hair, and their morale was inevitably low. It was not until the evening of the seventh day that they finally found traces of the Turkic camp. Following these traces, Li Jing searched all the way, and finally found a small camp of Turkic people—unfortunately, Jieli was obviously not here.

These Turkic people were all picked up by Li Jing within two strokes, and none of them were let go. Li Jing organized them into a separate captive team and arranged them at the back of the team.

Although it is a pity that Xie Li is not here, Li Jing is not completely without gains. He got more accurate information about the location of Jieli Yazhang from these captives. this point is very important.

At the same time, Tang Jian, who was negotiating surrender matters with Jieli in the Xieli camp, also encountered a little trouble.
