Before the sky was completely dark, the Tang army had set up a tent to rest. The temperature dropped very quickly after the sun set. If a bowl of water was placed outside the tent, a thick layer of ice would definitely form when I woke up the next morning.
Xue Chongxun stood outside the tent and looked around and found that there were no trees in this place, and there was not even a tree in the wilderness. He was really surprised.
No wonder I found that I often burned cow dung after marching out of the frontier, and it was indeed short of firewood.
The surrounding lights shone out from the tent, making the land seem like a primitive city. There are many people living in the sky without tall buildings. The densely populated scene is indeed difficult to see in the wilderness of the northwest.
The lights are brighter than the stars in the sky, and are very spectacular.
Looking back, there is no end to see around. There is only one feeling of 200,000 people gathered together and stood on the ground, which is that there is a lot, but there is no intuitive outline. Unless you stand at a very high place and you can only see the panoramic view.
The cold wind blew on his face, Xue Chongxun felt a pain, and his lips were cracked after staying here for half a month, so he got a big fire.
The sergeant brought the wine he liked and sat around the cow dung pile and drank to keep warm.
In this weather, soldiers prefer to drink strong wines made from grain, but Xue Chongxun only likes soft wines. The glass in the night is crystal clear in the fire of cow dung, and it has a unique flavor.
After a while, a messenger came to the central army. When Xue Chongxun heard that it was a letter from Chang'an, he opened it to see it.
Zhang Wulang on the side asked: What’s the news in Chang'an?
Xue Chongxun browsed and said: The letter from his mother said that the Huaqing Palace has been repaired and that people will be able to live in this winter.
Some of them asked him to return to Beijing after the war, but Xue Chongxun did not say it.Because it was a private message, he didn't show it to the generals after reading it.
Someone next to him heard Xue Chongxun talk about Chang'an and sighed: This ghost place is so cold, Chang'an should not be that cold now.
Everyone occasionally said a few nonsense, reached out to the cow dung and baked it, and they all shrank their necks.
I didn’t have much leisure and entertainment after walking for a day. If I could have a banquet, singing and dancing, or playing with women in the city, it would be even more boring on the way.
Xue Chongxun was also quite bored, so he read Princess Taiping's letter twice. Somehow he remembered the warm feeling when he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried bitterly in the prince's arms.
In a trance, he felt that he was not in this place where birds do not lay eggs, but in the prosperous Chang'an.
At this moment, a general suddenly called out outside the tent and then opened the thick cotton curtain and walked in, clasped his fists and said: Report to the prince, the scout just came to report, and at noon today, he found that Quanrong was fainting from the Nine Curves of the Yellow River. It seems that they are going to retreat!
After saying that, the general looked at the fire in the middle, then walked over and squatted down.
When the people in the tent heard this, they all started to talk. Xue Chongxun said in surprise: We were about to fight, but they wanted to run away?This Jide Zuzan is so fuckingly unrestrained!
Wang Changling, who was tightly wrapped, said seriously: It is a wise move for the Quanrong to withdraw his troops. After all, they took much more risks than us. Even if our Tang Dynasty has all the 200,000 troops, it will not be as if the country was destroyed, right?
Zhang Wulang said: Our trip was a waste of time. When we walked over at this marching speed, the dog soldiers had already run away.
Xue Chongxun frowned and said: Shao Bo is right. Although our chances of winning are not greater than those of Tubo, we take less risks.At worst, we can use the land of Helong to bet. It is hard to say whether the Tubo people will collapse if they are defeated in the war!If that's the case, what are we afraid of?
Wang Changling was shocked after hearing this: Xue Lang’s meaning...
The weather is clear now, and light troops can catch up with the Tubo soldiers!Xue Chongxun said lightly.
The generals looked at each other and turned to look at Xue Chongxun.
He said: The tactic is very simple. The main force of the Tang army raided lightly and rushed to the Tubo camp to fight it to the decisive battle. The Tuyuhun people were kept in charge of the baggage and found that the terrain was favorable to build a village and defend it.
Zhang Wulang suggested: There is no problem with our army's raids, but I am afraid that the power (former army) is too risky to be too risky. The Battle of Dafeichuan is in front, Xue Lang thought about it all!
Wang Changling also agreed with Zhang Wulang's words: Tuyuhun is not very determined to fight, but he just followed us to fight due to helplessness. Moreover, we have a new grudge with many Tuyuhun people. If they face a fight in the future, our army has no way out and is far away from the border. What will the party then?
It is not that easy to turn against each other at the time of battle. We don’t have to doubt the Murong family’s desire to be pro-Tang. Recently, he helped Murong Xuan eliminate most of the disloyals in the name of punishing the betrayer, and all the military power is in the hands of the Murong family.As long as Murong Xuan does not rebel against the Tang Dynasty and improves his guardianship, it is almost impossible to turn against him at the last minute.
Xue Chongxun said while thinking.
But the generals were still a little worried: If the Tubo army divided its troops to attack our rear army, Tuyuhun would lose its baggage if it was not effective in fighting, it would be a dangerous situation.
Zhang Wulang said: The Tubo army has been stationed in Wuhai City for a long time. I think their calculations are to lure the enemy into deeper and deal with us where we don’t have villages in front of us or shops behind us.Now our army is advancing rashly even though we know it is hostile, it should be unnecessary.
Seeing that most of the civil and military officials in the tent opposed the light cavalry's attack, Xue Chongxun was silent and did not speak for the time being.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know what to say after admonishing me. They slowly became silent again and the atmosphere became dull.
At this time, Yin Ci said: We are just asking Xue Lang about risks everywhere. In the end, you should make an idea. There is no perfect way on the battlefield. If Xue Lang wants to attack, we will follow.
Zhang Wulang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: We only had 12,000 cavalry a month ago and could burn the king's tent. If Xue Lang insisted on going, now the 100,000 army will not be able to attack!
Only Wang Changling still insisted on not fighting: I opposed the battle to attack the king's tent, even if I win, I will win!One time and another time, now we are far away from the border, and once we fail, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
I want to meet Murong Xuan, the King of Han, in Tuyuhun.Xue Chongxun said lightly, "It's my own past, and I seem more sincere."After saying that, he stood up.
The soldier brought a thick fur coat, and Xue Chongxun wrapped it around him, tucked the collar around his neck and walked out of the tent.
It’s dry and cold outside, and the clear night sky is also very windy. In addition to the low temperature, the weather is good, and it will be better if the sun comes out during the day.
The soldier brought the horse over, and Xue Chongxun rolled over the horse and asked someone to lead the horse away. He thought about that while walking.
Everyone advised him not to attack easily, and he also thought it made sense, but intuitively he thought it was an opportunity, although he took a little risk...
If you can't take the risk, why come to the Longyou battlefield?
However, it is not necessarily completely safe in Chang'an, and life is always taking risks.
He was a little hesitant. Perhaps the more things he had, the easier it would be to erase his sharpness?
After walking for a while, a sound of horse hooves came from behind him, and a voice said: Please stay, please, please stay.
Xue Chongxun looked back and found that it was the eunuch Yang Sixu. The eunuch had a thin and black face and was not necessarily fat, but he became fat when he was dressed too thickly at this time.
Yang Sixu clasped his fists and said: I just said something in the big tent, but I didn’t think about it carefully and inconveniently said it in public.
But it doesn't matter.Xue Chongxun said curiously.
Yang Sixu said: The prince wanted to rush to pursue the Tubo army, but he was worried about the unstable and lost supplies in the rear and causing a dilemma; if he gave up rushing, he would be unwilling to accept it...
Xue Chongxun laughed and said: It is said that people in the palace can think about people's thoughts, but Mr. Yang gave me some insight.
Since this is the case, why don’t the prince win?
Yang Sixu said, leaving a group of Tang army to camp separately with the Tuyuhun people, who were responsible for the support of the horns and each occupied the dangerous terrain to ensure the safety of the rear wing.Xue Lang led light troops to attack again, but the Tubo people did not expect that we would attack like this and suddenly heard that the Tang soldiers were not prepared enough when they arrived, and they still had a chance of winning. Even if the battle was not good, Xue Lang led his army to retreat to the camp to fight or defend, without any worries.
Xue Chongxun thought about it for a while and said happily: This method is very wonderful!At least try it so as not to miss the opportunity to achieve great success in the future. After all, it is not easy to find our army to gather elite troops from all over the country and encounter Tubo people, and the opportunity I happened to be in Longyou is even more difficult... So, how many troops should I use to attack and how many troops should I stay behind?
Yang Sixu said: 70,000 attacked 30,000 left behind, and the rear army also had 100,000 Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry, which was enough to protect the supplies, food and food.My thoughts are the same as Xue Lang. Murong has gradually taken control of the power of Tuyuhun. As long as he does not rebel, it is extremely difficult to turn against him.What's more, when the Tubo army learned that our troops were rushing to attack the camp, they had to take heavy baggage and light cavalry to detour and attack for a long distance. It was not easy to capture the camp with heavy troops and defense.
very good!
Xue Chongxun's hesitation was thrown away at once, and he said immediately, I will choose a place for 40,000 troops to defend you. I will lead the cavalry south to attack and catch him off guard!
Yang Sixu was surprised and said: Miscellaneous... How can a miscellaneous family bear this great task?
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: You don’t have to use someone, but you don’t have to doubt anyone. Since I let Mr. Yang serve as the position, I can trust you.All the past has passed, you don’t have to worry.We are comrades-in-arms tested in the blood and fire. As long as I am here in the future, no one can settle the old accounts with you.
Yang Sixu fell down from his horse and fell into the snow and said: The kindness of King Jin's kindness is unforgettable. I wish to serve him in front of him and behind him, as if he had two hearts and thunder...
Xue Chongxun jumped off the horse and reached out to help him. He realized that Yang Sixu changed his words and called himself a slave. He treated him like a slave. He comforted him with kind words: It’s snow on the ground, get up quickly!Mr. Yang's temples were gray and he had devoted himself to the Tang court all his life. As a royal nobleman, I have no reason not to treat you well.
Yang Sixu got up and wiped tears with his sleeves. He was so angry that he was not as cruel as the battle formation, and he was no different from other favored eunuchs.
Xue Chongxun stood outside the tent and looked around and found that there were no trees in this place, and there was not even a tree in the wilderness. He was really surprised.
No wonder I found that I often burned cow dung after marching out of the frontier, and it was indeed short of firewood.
