Chapter 26 The Rumored Eldest Prince!

I don’t know how long it took, but on the battlefield, the Uszang soldiers who originally had the numerical advantage were dying of their wounds, looking extremely tragic.

Looking carefully, almost the entire battlefield is filled with the corpses of Uzbek soldiers.

"Woo!"

At this moment, a heavy horn sound resounded throughout the void.

"It's the signal to retreat!"

The face of the red-bearded general Ulm was darkened by the thick smoke. Hearing this voice, he was startled. But soon, he came back to his senses, rode his horse, and hurried back to the Uzang array. , while shouting:

"Quickly retreat!"

In an instant, as if they had been granted amnesty, the Uzang soldiers turned around and headed towards the Uzang position.

And as Wang Haibin led the team of three thousand elite soldiers to kill one after another and killed another wave of Uzbek soldiers, the war came to an end.

"Quickly retreat!"

"Quickly retreat!"

Countless Wuszang troops threw away their helmets and armor, looking panic-stricken.

They have been fighting against the Longxi Army for many years, but they have never encountered such a terrifying opponent. Only three thousand people have such terrifying combat effectiveness. How terrifying will it be if the remaining tens of thousands of people come together to kill them?

No wonder the army led by Huoshu Songren failed.

"!!!"

Seeing the vast Uzang army receding like a tide, General Guo Dingguo and the Longxi generals at the rear were stunned. No one expected that the three thousand troops sent by the third prince actually defeated an opponent dozens of times their size. .

"boom!"

After a brief silence, all the Longxi troops raised their weapons, cheered and roared with excitement.

"The Tang Dynasty is invincible!"

"Third Prince!"

"Third Prince!"

…

When the third prince Li Taiyi just arrived in Longxi,

Everyone dismissed him, but now, Li Taiyi has won the support and love of all the Longxi Army with his actions.

In the distance, Wang Haibin, who was covered in blood, was startled when he heard the earth-shattering cheers behind him, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Once upon a time, he and these Longxi troops had the same prejudice against the third prince, but it no longer exists now.

There seem to be all kinds of miracles in this His Highness.

"Come here, tell me my order to immediately report the news of the great victory in Longxi and the defeat of Uzang to the imperial court!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the war had just ended, Guo Dingguo looked happy and ordered without hesitation.

"Crash!"

In just a moment, the homing pigeons immediately rose into the sky and headed towards the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

"What? His Highness the Third Highness has won a great victory!"

"Yes, I heard that His Highness used fire attack tactics to repel the 100,000-strong army on the opposite side without even using a single soldier!"

"Are you exaggerating? I heard that there is something, a car..., a crossbow! I heard that it was created by His Highness himself, and it defeated hundreds of enemies with one shot!"

"Remove the bad breath for the people in the Longxi border area!"

…

When news of the great victory in Longxi reached the capital, the entire capital was shocked.

From the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the important ministers of the imperial court, everyone was astonished. Especially the Longxi general Guo Dingguo, who was always known for his harshness, praised Li Taiyi unstintingly in the memorial, even to the point of admiring him highly. This was not done in the past. This has never happened.

The news about Longxi spread among the people, making the people in the capital even more excited.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, this battle has become an exciting topic for countless storytellers and ordinary people. The details of various battles are vividly depicted, attracting countless people to watch and gather.

"You don't know that at that time, His Highness was wearing armor and his cloak was fluttering. He was standing in the middle of the army, looking like a god..."

Countless storytellers looked excited.

Among the capital, this third prince has too many amazing legends.

Leaving aside this aspect, a month later, as the Longxi army completely forced the Wusi Tibetans out of Longxi and onto the plateau, the crisis in Longxi was completely lifted.

Li Taiyi, the former dandy prince, slowly and completely changed the impression of him by all the people in the capital, and improved his reputation both inside and outside the court.

…

"Clang!"

At this moment, in a gorgeous palace in the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by a huge sound of porcelain being thrown to the ground, an angry voice suddenly resounded throughout the palace:

"asshole!"

The second prince gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and hammered the red sandalwood tea table beside him. On the ground, fragments of the fine white glazed celadon tea cup, mixed with the steaming tea and un-brewed Longjing tea, were scattered all over the ground.

"Second brother, calm down!"

Sitting next to Li Chengyi, the Fourth Prince Li Longfan on the other chair pursed his lips and said:

"There must have been a mistake somewhere in this process, otherwise with the way Third Brother behaves, he would not be able to come back alive."

"Fourth brother, we think too simply."

Li Chengyi raised his right hand, interrupted Li Longfan's words, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Otherwise, if you had leaked the route of Turk's third brother's expedition and the number of additional troops, he would not still be alive today."

Hearing Li Chengyi's words, Li Longfan's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes:

"Second brother, what are you talking about? How can I have contact with Turks?"

Li Longfan was in a panic. Collaboration with the enemy was a serious crime. He was already very careful. How did his second brother know that he was related to the Turks?

"Don't worry, I know you are doing it for my own good, so I didn't disclose this to anyone."

Li Chengyi smiled and said, with a brotherly look on his face, but there was an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Thank you, second brother!"

Seeing this scene, Li Longfan's eyes flashed, and he immediately straightened his body and bowed towards Li Chengyi.

——The second brother is warning him not to have second thoughts.

Seeing that the fourth prince Li Longfan understood what he meant, the second prince Li Chengyi did not hesitate too much and continued:

"The current situation is beyond my control. It seems I have to strike first and pull down my eldest brother!"

After saying this, a sinister look flashed in Li Chengyi's eyes.

…

Half a month later, Li Taiyi's squadron returned to the court. With him, in addition to the more than 3,000 soldiers he brought out, there were also General Guo Dingguo and others who had returned to Beijing and were awarded the title.

"boom!"

When Li Taiyi led the soldiers through the west city gate, the capital suddenly burst into shocking cheers.

"Third Prince!"

"Third Prince!"

…

Listening to the cheers that filled the sky, a smile appeared on Li Taiyi's lips.

This trip to Longxi was all worth it.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in front of all the officials, Li Taiyi accepted the personal commendation from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and all the soldiers also received awards.

The Uzang matter has come to an end.

After General Guo Dingguo was awarded the title, he said goodbye to Li Taiyi and quickly returned to the Longxi battlefield to continue guarding.

In the blink of an eye, one month passed, and everything in Beijing returned to calm.

As for the second prince, after passing the incident in Longxi, he seemed to know that the third brother was not that easy to deal with. In a short period of time, there was no further movement.

"Report!"

In the Jade Dragon Palace, when Li Taiyi was studying the Spring and Autumn Period and practicing martial arts in the main hall, a guard suddenly rushed in:

"Your Highness, I have just received news that the Turks have won a great victory, and the eldest prince is about to lead his troops back to the capital in triumph!"

"Buzz!"

Like a golden needle pricking down, Li Taiyi trembled all over, raised his head suddenly, and his expression changed slightly in an instant.

The eldest prince!

These three words seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing ripples in his heart.

Since his rebirth, he has subconsciously avoided these three words.

No one understands better than him that although the fourth prince Li Longfan is difficult to deal with and the second prince Li Chengyi is even more ruthless, the two of them combined are far inferior to the eldest prince Li Xuantu who has been leading troops away and has not shown much face.

From beginning to end, that person is his biggest opponent!

The eldest prince was proficient in literature and martial arts. He was proficient in literature at the age of five and martial arts at the age of seven. He was not only the favorite and most satisfied child of the Tang Emperor, but also the most respected prince among the people.

The most important thing is that the eldest prince is very resolute in politics. Once he feels that a plan is feasible, he will take action immediately without any hesitation.

This was deeply appreciated by Emperor Tang.

And his talent and ability in military affairs made all the generals and generals of the Tang Dynasty look at him and admire him.

From the first time he followed the Tang Emperor on patrol and fought on the border, the eldest prince Li Xuantu showed his astonishing commanding talent.

On the battlefield, he is always able to keenly detect the opponent's flaws and find opportunities to reverse the situation in one fell swoop and decide the outcome.

Since his involvement in the military, within a few years, the eldest prince has made countless achievements, large and small. He has a high reputation in the military and has also won the support of many courtiers and aristocratic families.

Even at a young age, he was crowned prince by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty in advance.

This time, the Turks rose to power, and the vast Turkic cavalry powerfully intimidated the Tang Dynasty and threatened China. The eldest prince was ordered to fight against the Turks in the north.

In the end, he lived up to expectations. Although Datang was on the weaker side, the eldest prince forcibly united with Datang's garrison in the north and took the initiative to attack again and again, constantly looking for fighter opportunities to attack the Turks.

Relying on a tough combat style, astonishing military skills and commanding talents, the army led by Li Xuantu continued to consume the opponent, and eventually the Turks lost their troops. The speed of advancing south dropped again and again. Finally, under the long stalemate, the north of the station was The Turkic army finally retreated.

The Turkic threat in the north has come to an end now, and the eldest prince returns to Beijing in triumph!

"It seems everything is inevitable!"

"No matter what, we must face him directly!"

Li Taiyi raised his head and thought to himself.

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.

He knew very well that with Li Xuantu's character, there would be a fight between the two after he returned to the capital.
