Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

No matter how hard Qu Wentai tried, in fact he was just doing futile work.

However, Qu Wentai is very confident, he thinks he can conquer the camp of Huaergou.

On the banks of the Daban River in Mulei County, Chen Ying led the Xiao cavalry army and the Yue cavalry army to camp here.The soldiers of the whole army, who were exhausted and exhausted, snored like thunder after camping, but Chen Ying was the only one who did not feel sleepy.

After returning from patrolling the camp, he found that the lights in Chen Ying's big tent were not turned off, Guo Xiaoke thought about it and went in towards the big tent.

Seeing Chen Ying's brows furrowed tightly, Guo Xiaoke tried to ask, "Is the chief guardian worried about Jin Mancheng's safety?"

"No!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Murong Fuyun is doomed to be happy for nothing!"

Guo Xiaoke felt that Chen Ying seemed to be overly careful. Even if Murong Fuyun's subordinates were just a mob, even if there were 20 pigs roaring towards him, it would not be humanly able to resist.What's more, Jinman is a county in name, but in fact the county is larger than a state in the Central Plains. Duan Zhigan and Zhang Huaiwei have less than 4 people under their command. How can Jinman County be safe?

It's just that Guo Xiaoke didn't know that when Qu Wentai fled, Chen Ying had already placed a spy beside Qu Wentai. With the elite of the fierce tiger, it was too easy to stand out from the mob of Qu Wentai and Murong Fuyun.Murong Fuyun didn't know that he divided 20 people into 36 generals, led by four generals.Each general governs a number of superintendents, among the 36 generals, there are four generals who are loyal to the tiger.Among them, Guo Luo became the ninth general under Murong Fuyun's command.

If he wanted Guo Luo to kill Murong Fuyun unexpectedly, Chen Ying could give the order at any time.

Chen Ying suddenly looked at Guo Xiaoke and asked: "Xiaoke, you said that the Western Regions Protectorate was established in the Western Han Dynasty, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then Qianliang, Houliang, Western Qin, and Northern Wei, so many dynasties, so many heroes. , Why don’t you see the Western Regions become like the Central Plains and become counties and counties?”

Guo Xiaoke thought for a while, then quietly patted Chen Ying's flattery and said, "Because all the previous governors of the Western Regions were crimes of mediocrity and incompetence.

Chen Ying pointed to his own head and said: "I am very clear about whether I have a great talent or not. If I insist that I am superior to others, it means that I have a heart of constant exploration, and I dare to come out and do things that others dare not do. Under the guardianship of this metropolis, the Western Regions will soon become a historical term, and in the future, the Western Regions will become the Xizhou Road of our Tang Dynasty, just like the Longyou Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and Jiannan Road, it will become a common road of the Tang Dynasty."

Chen Ying has never thought that the Western Regions are difficult to govern. There are treasures everywhere, mines that can be exploited at any time, and land that can be cultivated everywhere. Of.

Of course, Chen Ying didn't want to be the Protector of the Western Regions, nor was he like the so-called Protector of Anxi. Now his son was almost [-] days old, and this father had never even met his son.This made Chen Ying very guilty.He just wanted to maintain the stability of the Western Regions as soon as possible, and draw a blueprint for the Western Regions to be built, and then he could hand over the official position of the Governor of the Western Regions and return to Chang'an to visit his son.

What meritorious deeds, what name left in history, what country and society, in Chen Ying's view, are far less important than his own son.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about it, Li Shimin was furious in Dingxiang City.

When Li Shimin led the newly formed Xuanjia cavalry into Dingxiang City full of confidence, he thought he would encounter a fierce battle, but he did not expect that Dingxiang City was empty.

Just when Li Shimin felt bad and was about to withdraw from Dingxiang City, the beacon fire on the distant mountains ignited, and the atmosphere in Dingxiang City became tense.

In Li Shimin's tent in the Chinese army camp, carrier pigeons, scouts, and military envoys kept coming and going, and bad news kept coming:

"Shanyang was attacked by the Turkic army!"

"Yanmenguan found a Turkic army!"

"Yingzhou found a Turkic army!"

"The patrol cavalry sent by Wuzhaibao encountered Turkic scouts and killed eleven of them!"

……

Li Shimin received a bad news, and Fang Xuanling was on the sand table, continuously planting flags representing the Turkic army, each flag representing a cavalry of about a thousand men.

It is not difficult to see from the sand table that in the area between Weizhou (that is, Datong) and Changzhou (now Yulin), except for Weizhou where no enemy troops were found, there are Turkic troops in other counties and counties.No Turkic army was found in the Shahukou area, but scouts were also active, so we should not take it lightly.Yingzhou, Linzhou, Shanyin, Shenchi and other cities did not have many troops to defend. The Turks caught Li Shimin by surprise, and the situation suddenly became extremely severe.

The more Fang Xuanling analyzed, the angrier he became. He tossed a flag and cursed: "How come the Turks know our marching route so well!"

Du Ruhui was also as gloomy as water.

If they were just suspicious at the beginning, it is almost certain now that someone will betray Li Shimin and the others and sell their marching route to the Turkic people.

Be it Qin Qiong or Cheng Zhijie, their two armies totaled [-] Zhechongfu's elite troops of more than [-], and they didn't even see the ghost of the Turkic people, and all the Turkic people appeared where they shouldn't have appeared.

The Turks were very aware of the deployment of the 24 prefectures and counties of the Bingzhou General Manager's Office, so they took advantage of the vacancy and hit the nail on the head.

Although the Turkic cavalry is known for its mobility, the movement of tens of thousands of cavalry gathering and mobilizing is quite large. The scouts of the Tang army spread so far away that it is impossible to be ignorant of their movements.

However, the Turkic army did it. The assembly and mobilization of hundreds of thousands of cavalry easily deceived Qin Qiong's troops who were looking for the enemy on the grassland, avoided Cheng Zhijie's troops, and went straight to the weakest defense line of Yingzhou. One explanation: the Turks knew Li Shimin's attack route and troop mobilization well in advance!

PS: [-] will be delivered in the second update, good night everyone, please support me, pretend someone is chasing you!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Dingxiang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the central and western parts are Pingchuan (Xinding Basin) shaped like a dustpan, the north is bordered by the remnants of Jiangjun Mountain and Wutai Mountain, Yuanping and Wutai counties, and the southeast is bordered by Wenshan and Xizhoushan, Yuxian and Yangqu counties .If you consider it from the perspective of a military strategist, this is almost a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Of course, if the west is blocked, this is a huge pocket.Historically, Li Jing sent troops from the western plains. Jieli Khan thought that the main force of the Tang army was in the west, so he made the wrong choice to break through from the northeast. In the end, he was beaten up by Li Shiji. .

If the cart before the horse.When Changsun Wuji heard a series of bad news, he hurriedly persuaded Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness, hurry up and retreat from the west before the Turks encircle you!"

Hou Junji also heaved a long sigh. Now that the Turks knew their marching route and deployment of troops like the palm of their hands, the opportunity was lost. They had already lost this battle.

Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin was unwilling.

In fact, it is not only Li Shimin who is not reconciled, including generals such as Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and Lei Yongji, who of them will be reconciled?But the situation is stronger than people, so I have to bow my head.

Fang Xuanling was about to speak, looked at Du Ruhui and shook his head at him.Fang Xuanling understood that what Du Ruhui meant was not to let him persuade Li Shimin to retreat.

Li Shimin's temperament is strong, and it can be said that there is a bit of stubbornness in his strength.At this time, if Fang Xuanling persuaded him again, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Instead of retreating, Li Shimin would abandon his strengths and make up his weaknesses, giving full play to the advantage of the cavalry's maneuverability of the mysterious armored cavalry, and fighting a passive offensive and defensive battle with the Turks!

After a little thought, Fang Xuanling came up with an ingenious plan. He bowed to Li Shimin and said, "His Royal Highness, now our best strategy is to retreat immediately before the Turkic siege, return to Taiyuan, and plan for the future!"

However, Li Shimin closed his eyes and said nothing.His face was so dark that water would come out.

Fang Xuanling had no choice but to continue: "The best strategy is to order General Qin Qiong and General Cheng Zhijie to return immediately, and while we are blocked in Dingxiang, let Qin Cheng's second department carry out an anti-siege outside Dingxiang..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised his voice an octave: "No, instead of retreating, the second part of Qin Cheng will continue to attack. Take this opportunity to take Fengzhou Beach for me Lambato Grassland) Chilechuan!"

Changsun Wuji is not a military rookie either, he understood Li Shimin's intentions as soon as he heard this.

Changsun Wuji's face changed greatly, and he said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, you must not do it!"

Li Shimin's move was to exchange sons with the Turkic people, to attract the attention of the Turkic people by himself, and let Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie attack Guzhoutan and Chilechuan respectively.This is simply a game of both ends.Once the Turks capture Dingxiang, then Li Shimin will definitely be doomed, but the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan will definitely not be easy, because once Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie break through Fengzhou Beach and Chilechuan, the Turks will definitely suffer heavy losses. Now that the weather is dry, if the fire goes down, the Turkic people may not recover in three to five years.

Fang Xuanling was also taken aback, and urged loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin must not do it!"

Li Shimin chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the king will be captured by the Turks? Or are you afraid that Yingzhou will be captured by the Turks?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were about to speak out to persuade Li Shimin, but they saw Hou Junji saying: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang has a great plan!"

"It's Junji who understands this king!" Li Shimin stepped forward and patted Hou Junji's shoulder, his handsome face was full of murderous intent, he gritted his teeth and said, "You want to play around with me, don't you? You want to rely on mobility The king's nose is gone, let the king care about one thing and lose the other, right? The king wants to see if these Turkic smashers have the ability to take down Yingzhou and other strong cities quickly, and the king wants to see if they have this ability Determined to be smashed in the city of Dingxiang."

……

In the valley of Tiemen Mountain, in the huge valley separated from Dingxiang Mountain, a large group of Turkic cavalry from Wuyang Wuyang was densely gathered. In order to hide such a huge cavalry, Jieli Khan took great pains. He had been fighting for two months. Before sending people to cut alfalfa for silage fodder, tens of thousands of people worked hard for more than two months, and only then did they store enough forage for nearly 30 war horses to consume in three months.

Of course, these forages were still seriously insufficient. If there were not enough beans, the horses would lose weight and affect their combat effectiveness. Fortunately, with the help of Wang Renbiao, the Taiyuan Wang family transferred [-] shi of grain to Jieli Khan.

However, when the scout gathered the reported news in front of Jieli Khan, he was embarrassed instead.

Qin Qiong's ten Zhechong prefectures moved towards the northwest at a speed of eighty miles per day.As for Cheng Zhijie's ten Zhechong Mansion Tang Army officers and soldiers, they rushed towards Chilechuan at the same speed of [-] miles per day.
