Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 286

At most, Fatty Zhu curled his lips in disdain and muttered, "Bah, sycophant."

Seeing that Guo Ye had made up his mind to take Ali Tucheng first, everyone naturally nodded and applauded happily.

Kang Bao asked: "Brother, do you want to do it now? Or take advantage of the darkness, let's launch a surprise attack and fuck the mother."

Guo Ye shook his head indifferently, and said: "It is estimated that someone in the city sent a letter to the general surnamed Yang as early as the time when the horse bandits attacked the city. Obviously, the reinforcements will come back from the horse farm in a short time."

"and."

Guo Ye paused, and said: "Now the brothers are exhausted, and now they attack the city rashly, not to mention that our three thousand sons can't hold it, even if we can hold it, if we don't have a perfect deployment, we will act rashly. That's unwise. Forget it, the defenders in the city are already frightened anyway, and the defenses will inevitably start to tighten up. We might as well deploy more carefully tomorrow, and then decide how to capture Ali Tucheng."

Kang Bao listened to Guo Ye's shrewd analysis, not without admiration, he thought, brother Guo is thoughtful, no wonder my old man asked me to listen to his orders during this trip.

Guan Jiujiu, who was eager to show off, asked stupidly: "Then what, Master Bingsi, what should we do now?"

"Haha, it's rare for someone as smart as you to be confused. It seems that you are tired too!"

Guo Ye couldn't help but teased Guan Jiujiu, and then told everyone, "Rest where you are, where is Er Niu?"

Cheng Erniu hurriedly shouted: "I'm here, I'm here, little brother, I've been here all the time."

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and ordered: "Take your scouts to scout the horses, search within a mile radius, and find me a high ground. I want to set up camp there, facing Alitu City far away!"

Cheng Erniu did his part, cupped his fists and shouted in a deep voice, "Design!"

After saying that, he turned around and left quietly, with the demeanor of a general.

Chapter 222 The Difficult Questions Before the War

Soon, Cheng Erniu led seven fast horses back one after another, and found a small highland in an open area not far away.

The high ground is surrounded by a flat river, with a wide field of vision, which is suitable for the Longxi Army to camp. If there is any disturbance, you can immediately hear the wind and move.

Moreover, the peak of the highland happens to be far away from Ali Tucheng, and you can see some of the situation on the upper floors of Tucheng.

Good place!

Guo Ye couldn't help but praise, and with an order, the three thousand Longxi Army set off again and moved towards that highland.

Soon they arrived at the high ground where they were going to camp, and because it was already getting late, Guo Ye hurriedly arranged for Pang Feihu to lead his men to take charge of the guard, and ordered all the battalions to spend the night on the spot to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's arrival.

one night

past.

……

……

On the border of Tubo and the northwest frontier, it gets dark quickly and dawns early.

At the beginning of the gray sky, before Guo Ye woke up, Fatty Zhu had already arranged for the fire soldiers to start cooking and cooking. Suddenly, curling fireworks rose from the highlands, mixed with the morning mist, making the sky even more gray.

Gusts of high plateau winds blew past, blowing ashes all over the sky to hide in the wind, and slowly blowing to the top of the Tucheng tower facing the highland.

"Damn, these Tang soldiers are going to stay here permanently? He even started cooking, his grandma!"

A young man with a slightly swollen figure, wearing armor, has pretty handsome features, but there is a bit of hostility between his brows.

Look at the long sword tied around his waist, the scabbard is inlaid with several red sapphires, it looks extraordinary at first glance, it should be a young general.

After scolding a few times, the young general wiped the ashes from the sky on his face, and spat in disgust again.

However, there is another person next to the young general, about 45 or [-] years old, who is also dressed in armor and swords. Although there is no hostility in the brows of the young general, there is a bit more sinister.

He just gave the young general a blank look, and snorted, "Isn't that something you did? If you hadn't exposed yourself and been tricked into telling us about our origins, they would have been eating wind and drinking dew on the border of Tubo? Hua Ming, how could you So reckless? Don’t you know that the general is discussing an alliance with a noble from the Tubo Kingdom recently? Now that the Tang army doesn’t leave, it may really ruin our event.”

The young general was obviously afraid of the person beside him, and said weakly: "Uncle Wei Mu, I..."

"Shut up! How many times have I told you to call me the guard general? If your father hadn't been loyal to the old general, how could our general treat you so kindly? If this general hadn't been on good terms with your father, how could I have supported you all the way?" ? You are too immature!"

Obviously, these two people have their origins. In the middle-aged future, it will be Wei Mu, the guard of Ali Tucheng, and that young general is Hua Ming, the deputy general of Ali Tucheng who was tricked out by Guo Ye.

As for the general they are talking about, maybe it is the remnant of the Sui Dynasty guessed by Guo Ye, the descendant of the Yang family.

Lieutenant General Hua Ming was repeatedly scolded by Wei Mu, who is also the uncle and the boss, and he couldn't hide his face for a long time. He clenched his fists and looked at the high ground not far away, watching the peeing He smoked from the kitchen, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Wei Mu, oh no, Lord General, anyway, didn't the General tell you to bring 3000 people back to defend the city? Why don't you transfer 3000 people to me, and I'll go and destroy the city?" Help Tang Jun."

"Don't be reckless!"

Wei Mu waved his hands slightly calmly, put his hands on the guardrail at the top of the city and looked at the high ground ahead, and said earnestly: "The general told me not to act recklessly. Before I left, he said However, we avoided the siege of the Tang army and migrated to the border of Tubo for so many years. While lingering on our last days, we endured the development until now. Only then can we have today's Ali Tucheng and Tuva City where the general's horse farm is located. The two cities are not easy to come by. ah."

As he said that, he withdrew his gaze from afar, looking at Hua Ming, the rat shit that ruined a pot of porridge, not disgusting, but definitely disappointed, and continued to say in a deep voice: "Now the general is doing horse sales with a nobleman in Tubo, and the relationship is precisely Not a bad time. And that Tubo nobleman can help the general and the Tubo king Songtsan Gampo to have a relationship. At this time, we have friction with the Tang army, which will definitely attract the attention of the Tubo side. I'm afraid it will ruin the overall situation. .”

Hua Ming shook his head stubbornly, and said angrily: "Master General, if we don't do anything, it doesn't mean that Tang Jun won't do anything. If they really have no idea, why would they linger here? Look——"

As he said that, he pointed to the Longxi soldiers who were setting up thatched tents on the high ground not far away, and said bitterly: "They are building fires and cooking, and they are building camps. It seems that they are going to stay for a long time and covet us. Tucheng."

Who said no?

As soon as Hua Ming mentioned this, Wei Mu became even more furious. If you hadn't been told about your origin, how could others think about a small town on the border?

For some reason, and why the Tang army fought, Wei Mu felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

It was as if the four characters "remnants of the Sui Dynasty" were like a thousand-year curse, which made him bear it for decades, and he was a little panicked and desolate.

That's right, for him, the Great Sui Dynasty is dead, and Li and Tang Dynasty are eager to destroy them soon, now that they have found their hiding place, how can they give up lightly.

Any fool can see that they are a great contribution to Tang Jun at this time.

Especially Hua Ming, an unbelievable idiot, even exposed the general's surname.

The surname Yang is the surname of the Great Sui Dynasty. As long as the Tang army has a brain, they will think of them, the occupants of Ali Tucheng.

Captured a descendant of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty and dedicated it to Emperor Li Tang. Who would let him slip through his fingers for such a feat?

Seeing Hua Ming's eagerness to move, Wei Mu still calmed down and advised: "Don't be rash, the general said to wait and see for a few days before making a decision. Maybe in a few days, the general will be able to get help from the Tubo Kingdom. It is not impossible to send troops together to destroy the Tang army on the high ground. Marching and fighting, especially our current embarrassing status, must not be procrastinated. I would rather create a false impression to paralyze the Tang army, and wait for the final thunderous blow to kill them directly To save the big snake from dying, let them evacuate here and report."

Speaking of this, even Wei Mu himself suddenly became a little panicked, and sighed with a very bad face: "If a large number of Tang troops are attracted, it will be even worse."

Hua Ming was dizzy from Wei Mu's long speech, but he also understood the truth here, he couldn't attack easily, and waited quietly for a few days, waiting for the reply from the general.

He also knows a little bit about the general's temper. What he dislikes most is those who don't obey orders.

Then he shrank his head, and finally said his last constructive words today: "What the general said is that those Tang troops seem to be the distant troops passing by here, and their food and grass are always limited. Maybe they are about to run out of food and grass. That day is the best time for us to send troops to exterminate them."

Wei Mu didn't speak, but nodded in agreement with Hua Ming's point of view.
