Master, please shut up!

The long yellow sand, the wind blows, and a gust of wind and sand rises on the desert under the setting sun.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.Two simple and straightforward sentences describe the scenery of the desert.It's just that what is described is the scene of the peaceful time.

Tang Mohan took a deep breath, looking at the yellow sand and sunset in the distance, the smoke from cooking nearby, and... the food and luggage.

This is the border town in the northwest, the most northwest of Daming.It used to be the tribal territory of Tocharo, but now it belongs to Daming.To the west is Persia, which has always been friendly with Daming, to the north is the West Turks, to the south is the Dashi Kingdom, and to the east is Huihe.At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains were in dire straits. How much blood was once soaked in this land.Tang Mohan knew that this blood would always be there, but as a general, he hoped that the blood would have time to dry.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Mohan looked at the blood-stained yellow sand with deep eyes.

"General, General Shang of Mobei City is here." An Yi behind him at this time was one of Tang Mohan's personal guards.Tang Mohan was thinking about something, but Anyi stood aside.An Yi only sounded a reminder when he looked at the person coming from the right.

Tang Mohan turned around and looked over, only to see a burly man about forty years old with a beard striding towards him.Even at such a distance, he could still hear the friction of the armor on his body as he walked.

Seeing this person, Tang Mohan showed a smile on his face: "You came quickly."

"Ge Laozi, surnamed Tang, you can do it, and you don't say hello when you come. If I hadn't been well-informed, I really don't know that you arrived so fast!" Even if I sent someone to him early this morning He got the news, but he didn't expect Tang Mohan to arrive so quickly and so quietly.As expected of them, the Tang Family Army came out!Thanks to Tang Mohan, he was familiar with the defense and terrain along the way to the northwest.He believed it would not be so easy to change someone.

"Didn't His Majesty help cover this? Even so, don't you know I'm coming?" Tang Mohan watched the person walk in, raised his hand and hammered his shoulder.

This person is the general who took over after he left the Northwest Army, Goodwill.He was originally the son of his grandfather's lieutenant general, about the same age as his father, and an old general who had been in the Northwest for many years.When he first came to the Northwest, he was also under the care of General Shang.General Shang is straightforward, but he has two skills in war.It's just that most generals don't like intrigue, especially General Shang, so please stay in the northwest.For so many years, his family has also taken root here.

For Shangyu, Tang Mohan is not only a junior, but also the person he wholeheartedly follows.Don't look at General Tang's young age, but he can't stand him with talent!In ten years, he watched Tang Mohan rise from a small household to the position of chief general with admiration in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, look at General Tang's attack on Tocharo at the beginning, and the comfort after the war is also the focus.Didn't see that it's only been less than a year, does this Tocharo almost regard himself as a Daming person?In fact, it's not that they forget their origins quickly, but because the lives of people in war-torn places are worthless, and there are really few people who cherish them.In addition, the former king of Tocharo was a foolish king, and the people were in dire straits, wishing someone would overthrow their rule!So for Da Ming, he is actually more like a hero who saves them from the fire and water!

Afterwards, Da Ming's policy of calming the people won the welcome of almost the entire Tocharian, which naturally pacified the hearts of the people even more.After all this, it is not difficult to understand the existence of this phenomenon in the Tocharian tribe.

But this also shows that General Tang is amazing!At such a young age, he was able to win a battle quickly, and he also formulated post-war recovery measures according to the local conditions. His Majesty adopted them. What is not great?It's strange that everyone calls him the God of War in the Northwest, and the patron saint of Da Ming!

Of course, their general said that this title is a bit too much.Low-key, low-key, he knows it.

"General, don't be modest. This army has arrived, what is the general's plan?" I don't know if the general is entering the city or is planning to station outside the city?In fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.If you enter the city, the food and accommodation conditions will naturally be better, but at the same time it is very easy to be exposed; if you find a valley in the wild to display your camp, it will be more difficult, but it is not easy for the enemy to detect.

"Because you control the border town this time, you naturally know about us. Others don't know about it yet. But if you enter the city, you will expose yourself to Xi Zuo, so I can't enter the city for the time being." They just wanted to To catch the enemy by surprise, it is natural to hide as much as possible first.As for food and lodging, how can there be so many requirements during the march? "When you went back, you were bringing some food and grass, and you said you were going out of the city to receive supplies."

Otherwise, as the head coach of a city, leaving the city so easily must be suspicious.

General Shang rubbed his nose and knew that he was a little impatient when he came here.Isn't it a long time since I saw the general getting a little excited?As the lord of a city, the eyes of the enemy naturally always follow him.This time I got rid of it, what about next time?It was true that he hadn't thought about it. Fortunately, he was hidden when he came out. It seemed that he had to pay attention. "Yes, I will understand in the end."

"Changfeng, let me know. Give half of the food and grass to the general, divide 1000 people into military uniforms, and follow General Shang back." Tang Mohan naturally knew General Shang.Forget it, let's find a way to deal with the aftermath.Although there is no war now, it is time for supplies.Just let Shangyu pretend to be receiving supplies, and the escorts can stay in the city openly.

"Yes." Changfeng, as his bodyguard who has been with him for many years, naturally handles these things in the camp easily.He directly led the people to prepare according to Tang Mohan's instructions. Tang Mohan watched Shangyu lead the people away, and he ordered his men to pack up their things and remove the traces. Bank of China to go.

After that, people will come from all over the place one after another, and their 10 people are going to temporarily settle down in the nearby valley.Fortunately, the population in the northwest is not dense, and it is still very easy to hide these people in this valley.Although this is not the solution after all, it is possible in the short term.

In less than ten days, people who had been arranged earlier arrived here one after another.And half a month later, Aqin sent someone to say that their side was already in place.Everything is ready, and everything is waiting for the West Turkic reaction.

Western Turks are really shameless.Fortunately, Da Ming was prepared.Da Ming's letter of credence was delivered, but they directly said that it was Da Ming's excuse to go to war, so they Western Turks were going to strike first.Da Ming not only slandered them, but actually killed their civilians doing business in the capital, Da Ming must give them an explanation!

This ability to reverse black and white really has to be admired!

The person Da Ming sent to deliver the reply letter was fine.It is said that in their capital at that time, the envoys were almost killed to sacrifice the flag, and it was the envoys of the envoys who saw that the situation was not good and ran away with their people.It has to be said that this person who can be sent by the Ministry of Rites as an envoy really has eyesight.

When this group of envoys reappeared in this Mobei City, the appearance was so embarrassing that it made those who saw it sad and those who heard it cry.This one is still very shameless, that day he only heard that someone was welcomed into Mobei City. The leader of the envoy, Mr. Wang, never stopped talking, and it was a pleasure to scold him.

"The two countries are going to war and don't kill the envoy! We are a messenger, and if we are unreasonable, we will fight and kill. The assassination of my Majesty Da Ming and the National Teacher did not say that they were the hands of the emperor of the Western Turks. , This is self-inflicted and a guilty conscience, right? Don’t think that our envoys didn’t hear that they wanted to fight the Western Turks, so they sent people to assassinate His Majesty and the National Teacher. They want to take advantage of the chaos in our country Come here? Bah! Your Majesty and the National Teacher are blessed by the heavens, so they will turn dangers into blessings, are you dumbfounded? Our Majesty Daming cherishes his people, so we don’t want to start another dispute. They are good at Western Turks, They have already dispatched troops and generals to fight over! Disregarding the peace agreement of the past, if you turn your back on it, you will turn your back on it, right? Who will be afraid? If you want to fight, fight! Anyone who commits a crime will be punished even if he is far away!"

"Pfft!" Tang Mohan was still doing nothing, but Changfeng behind him laughed out loud.Without him, the words of the envoys from the Ministry of Rites should have been impassioned, but it was An Yi's wooden face who recounted these words to their adults.So what I said, there is really no ups and downs.

Glancing at Chang Feng, An Yi still had the same expression: "Now at this time, what Master Wang of the Ministry of Rites said in the morning has now spread throughout the entire Mobei City. The subordinates sent people to spread these words, and it may not take half an hour. month, it will spread all over the north of the capital."

"What's the reaction of the people in the city?" Tang Mohan thought of the original identities of these people, and wanted to know their reaction.

"What I can hear now is righteous indignation. People who originally belonged to the Tocharian Tribe did not want to fight. They just heard that the Western Turks have assembled an army, and some people in the city want to join the army and help defend the city. They have found General Shang. There, but General Shang did not agree, saying that he can join the army now, but he can only participate in training and cannot go to the battlefield for the time being."

Tang Mohan nodded.He understood why the people of the Tocharian tribe chose this way.Although Da Ming broke their country, he stood on the moral high ground and brought them a better life.But Western Turks are different.Regardless of whether they occupy there, the captives will definitely not have a good time.They were able to live a good life, but they were about to be destroyed by the Western Turks in less than a year. They were naturally angry in their hearts.

"Send a message to General Shang that if a young man from Tocharo joins the army, his treatment will be the same as that of a Sergeant Da Ming. But after all, he hasn't trained much, and the fighting methods are different, so he can't go directly to the battlefield. He has done a good job." Tang Mohan On the contrary, they agreed to recruit the people from Tocharo. This group of people fought bravely, but they were not suitable to go to the battlefield together for the time being, and they had to get used to it.

"Yes." An Yi replied: "General, there is news from the dark guards that the Western Turks have assembled 30 horses, led by General Ashina Yuzhen, and the target should be He Suo Mountain, which is less than a hundred miles away from Mobei City. .”

Hearing this, Tang Mohan's mouth twitched into a slightly interesting smile: "It really is him. The Western Turks have paid a lot of money to send the mainstay of the army, the gray wolf Ashina. Since they sent people How can we not treat them well? When people come, don’t go back.”

Ashina, that is an ancient Turkic surname.This General Ashina, known as the 'Wolf on the Grassland', can almost be said to be the spiritual pillar of the Western Turkic generals, but it is very tricky.But in the same way, if this person falls... Tang Mohan is looking forward to Turkic's reaction at that time.

The people in the border town have experienced many wars, and when they saw Lord Wang and the others entering the city, they already had a premonition.When the defenders in the border towns suddenly increased and the trade routes leading to the grassland were no longer open, they knew that a big war was coming.

For a moment, the air in Mobei City seemed to be full of tension, and the battle was imminent!

The author has something to say:

National Teacher: Small bench, coke, popcorn, ready for a big battle, so nervous!

General: ... Are you nervously preparing?

National Teacher (serious face): Can't watch it consume your mind?

General: Okay, okay, you are good-looking and you can say what you say!
