Chapter 967 Mutation
It is not difficult to destroy Tongyangtai City, but it is not easy to destroy the defenders in the city. Chen Leng ordered all four gates to block, but the troops were not enough to support them. Tongyangtai City was not small in size, and 30,000 troops could not complete the encirclement. The main attack on the east gate, with the troops occupying most of the troops, and the other three gates did not attack. However, the defenders of the Que Kingdom were not deceived and did not mobilize most of the troops to the East Gate to defend the dead. Instead, they immediately chose the weakest place to break out. Que Yuesheng, who shouted slogans to live and die with Tongyangtai City, made the decision at the fastest speed and gave up.
After the city was broken, Chen Leng ordered the city to shout Xiao Zhang Zhenren around, and he quickly found the person.
It took two and a half days to reach La Liga City for two days and a half to find out about this battle. They were all stunned when they learned about it.
General's Mansion.
Tan Jiuzhou looked at his generals: "It is not appropriate to continue to attack Houque at this time, so I will send one person to lead 3,000 troops to guard Tongyangtai City to see what the reaction of Houque Country is, and let the scouts investigate around them."
All the generals obeyed the order, and some people found that Chen Leng was not there.
"Where is Duke Anguo?"
"well"
Tan Jiuzhou covered his face and lowered his head: "A great shame and humiliation!"
"ah?"
"What's wrong with the general?"
"What happened to the general?"
Tan Jiuzhou sighed: "I was actually deceived by a scammer in the world. Then what about Duke Anguo? It's a fake!"
The entire hall was as if it was a blowout, and everyone was stunned. The one who led the 30,000 new army to break through Tongyangtai City was the fake Duke of Guo? How could this be possible? When Duke of An came, the general came to welcome him outside the city gate. It was not the first time that the two of them met, how could they admit their mistakes?
"General, what's going on?"
"Yes, General, I have also met Duke Anguo. Duke Anguo was here when he fought with the Tubo people last time. We even fought side by side and would never admit our mistakes."
"I thought it was true, too."
Tan Jiuzhou looked angry: "I didn't see any flaws. Because I was familiar with that face, I didn't even check his iron plate. Who would have thought it was a fake? Just now, a deputy commander of the Grand Inner Guard came from Chang'an City and said that someone pretended to be An Guo Duke to cheat along the way. They took this fake Duke An back to Chang'an for trial under His Majesty's will."
"This is too ridiculous."
"That's right, how could it be fake? Even if the person is fake, the momentum of leading troops to fight is absolutely true. Did the person who came made a mistake?"
"How could it be wrong! This is the second time I have seen Duke Anguo lead his troops, so it is impossible for him to make a mistake."
"General, let's check it carefully."
Tan Jiuzhou stood up and looked really angry and embarrassed: "I really didn't see anything wrong with this person. Not only did he look very similar in his face, but he was just talking in a silly voice. He also saw this person out of the spot after the deputy commander of the Great Inner Guard came and saw that it was fake on the spot. He checked his iron plate of the general and found that it was simply fake. It was not an iron plate, but a wooden plate carved."
Everyone looked at Tan Jiuzhou with a confused look, not very convinced that someone dared to pretend to be Duke An Guo.
"I am a young man who admires Duke An Guo, and I feel that I can achieve something, so I pretended to come to Western Xinjiang."
"Where is your faith?"
Some people questioned: "General, didn't you say that the letter could not be fake?"
"The letter is true."
Tan Jiuzhou gritted his teeth and continued to lie: "The letter was written to me when Duke Anguo left Chang'an City. This was seen because he appeared in public, so he was so young
People have such absurd and bizarre idea, pretending to be Duke An and traveling westward. This person is also a talented person, familiar with military tactics, and has carefully studied every battle that Duke An and has fought."
It was still difficult for everyone to understand. They watched Duke An defeated Tongyangtai City. The general had already rushed over, but when he arrived at the city, Duke An had already led his troops into the city, which was so fast that it was incredible.
"Ahem, I can't explain this matter clearly. Let's wait for the interrogation of Deputy Commander Black-eyed. I will tell you if there is any news."
Tan Jiuzhou cleared his throat: "You have worked hard, go back and have a good rest, but you can't relax. The battle is imminent, so you still need to be more cautious."
Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists, thinking that the general looked a little abnormal, but then they thought that the general was deceived by a young man and treated the liar as a guest, so the general was understandable.
General's Mansion, Study Room.
Chen Leng sat there and looked at the black-eyed: "What a bullshit way?"
Black Eyes: "Do you have a way?"
Chen cold lowered his head.
There is really nothing we can do about it, it is all caused by his own temporary negligence.
"It will not damage your reputation, nor will it damage Your Majesty's reputation. Of course, it will damage the reputation of the General a little bit."
Black Eye sighed: "This is the best way to do that. You should go back to Dongjiang as soon as possible. I will take the people from the Tingwei Mansion to pretend to escort you out of La Liga. At that time, there should be a lot of vegetable leaves to greet you on your face, so you can bear it."
Chen Leng: "At least, get a closed carriage."
Xiao Zhang sat aside and said timidly: "It's all my fault."
Chen Leng looked at her: "You stayed behind and thought about your mistakes after you go back."
Xiao Zhang quickly lowered his head: "Yes, but I don't want to go back yet."
"Why?"
Chen Leng said: "Your affairs have been settled, and it's time for you to go back to Chang'an."
"I'll stay, can I help."
Xiao Zhang's voice was still very small, but he was stubborn: "I'm real"
The chest is stuffy due to air conditioning.
"Your Majesty should also be thinking of a solution."
The general talked about Jiuzhou from outside and stepped in: "I'm at least a little more than that, but they probably don't believe it. Fortunately, there is a real deputy commander of the guards in the inner guards, so they can only believe it if they don't believe it. Although it's absurd, it's better than the real Duke of Anguo here. This matter is not just the negligence of Duke Anguo, but I also have the responsibility."
Tan Jiuzhou sat down: "What a pity, I wanted you to take the blame for the war."
Chen Leng said: "It's okay to take the blame for a fake one."
Tan Jiuzhou: "I am already stupid in front of my subordinates. How much more do I have to say about the blame for the war?
Chen Leng sighed: "The first time, I was not worried about fighting."
"You should be more careful."
Tan Jiuzhou said: "No matter whether this matter is true or not, if someone gets news from Chang'an City, you will definitely report to you. You should rush to Dongjiang as soon as possible."
Chen Leng sighed: "It takes about a year to walk from the west to the east of Daning."
"so!"
Tan Jiuzhou suddenly thought of a solution: "You pretend to be escorted away first, and I will arrange for someone to pretend to be your personal military camp. You go out of the city and then bring people back. I said that when you heard someone pretending to be you and you came to Xijiang. You were already rushing to Dongjiang halfway, you immediately asked for an order to come here, Your Majesty is right."
Chen Leng's eyes lit up: "Sure enough
Ginger is still spicy.”
"hehe."
Tan Jiuzhou glanced at him: "Then why do you go back and explain? All the civil and military officials in the court knew that you had gone to Dongjiang, and the time was not enough, and even His Majesty could not hide it."
"You'd better go."
Tan Jiuzhou shook his head: "This matter has ended here, and I don't expect you to blame the war."
Chen Leng had no choice but to discuss it with Heiyan and others for a while and decided to leave the city in the afternoon and choose a team of people from the Tingwei Mansion to escort Chen Leng out. After leaving the city, if you rush to Dongjiang, you can use the fastest speed. The light chariots are much faster than the army. You may be able to reach Dongjiang for about a month.
But at this moment, a personal soldier hurried in outside: "General, urgent military information!"
Tan Jiuzhou and Shen Leng stood up at the same time: "What's the matter?"
"The coalition of the Western Regions and the Western Regions is vast and everywhere."
Chen Leng and Tan Jiuzhou walked out at the same time, Tan Jiuzhou paused for a moment: "You can't go."
Chen Leng was stunned.
Tan Jiuzhou took his men out of the study, and his personal soldiers walked and said, "The Western Regions coalition was coming very quickly. General Wang Jiusheng, who had just been dispatched, led three thousand combat troops to garrison Tongyangtai City. He arrived just after entering the Western Regions coalition, came from the south, west and north, countless.
"Immediately send an order to ask Wang Jiusheng to bring people back."
"It's too late."
The personal soldiers' faces were extremely ugly: "When they discovered the enemy situation, they were already twenty miles away. General Wang had just entered the city, and at least 20,000 cavalry came from the southwest. Three thousand soldiers were forced back out of the city. The enemy should have known that Tongyangtai City had been broken, so the one who directly blocked the east gate of Tongyangtai City was incomplete. When we attacked the city, we destroyed many places and the city gate was gone."
"What flag is the cavalry fighting?"
"Tibet."
While talking, Tan Jiuzhou quickly climbed the city wall and looked at the opposite side. The dust and smoke were already stirring up in the distance, and the black army gathered from all directions. At this time, Wang Jiusheng's three thousand people could no longer retreat. The two cities were only a few dozen miles apart, but these dozens of miles became the gate of hell. The armies of various Western Regions seemed to have formed an extremely huge vortex, and Tongyangtai City was in the middle of the vortex.
"General!"
All will come in the future.
"General, let me lead my troops to pick up General Wang."
"General, I'm willing to go, too."
"General, you can't wait any longer. The people of the Western Regions are prepared. Judging from the size of the troops, the number of troops has not gathered by hundreds of thousands. If you don't rescue him, General Wang will be in danger."
Tan Jiuzhou's face was solemn. Why didn't he want to save him?
However, in La Liga, there were only a few thousand cavalrymen. The Western Regions were heavily armored, mainly infantry, and even the Western Arsenals trained were infantry. At this time, thousands of cavalry attacked hundreds of thousands of enemies and surrounded them, which was useless.
"General, someone is coming here."
The lookout hand shouted, and everyone looked over and saw a team of cavalry of about hundreds of people coming towards La Liga. Soon, the cavalry stopped about a hundred feet outside the city. The young general led by the horse was urging his horse to come alone, and it turned out to be Que Yuesheng, who had already escaped from Tongyangtai City.
"Where is the coldness?!"
