Chapter 316: The enemy suddenly appears

The nine Zhaowu nations were originally controlled by white food and food. Khorasan's Abbas rose up to resist and received full support from the various Zhaowu countries. However, after Abbas became the new caliph, he turned his head and cruelly suppressed the Shiites and the nine Zhaowu countries who supported him back then.

Since the eastern expedition of the Great Food in the early nine years of Tianbao, countries such as An, He, Kang, Shi, Mi have fallen one after another. Compared with the previous white food, the rule of the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the Great Food in the United States is even more brutal. Almost all kings fled or killed, plundered property, forced taxes, destroyed temples, forced the locals to convert to Islam, and slaughtered all those who dared to resist.

However, the expansion of the black-clad food in Shi Kingdom was counterattacked by the Tang Dynasty. Budu led the remnants of the army back to Kang Kingdom. On the one hand, he sent people back to Damascus to ask Abbas to concentrate his troops to fight eastward, and on the other hand, he actively prepared for war in Kang Kingdom. In early winter, he suddenly received a request for help from the prince of Shi Kingdom Che Duodu from Talas.

This is undoubtedly an excellent excuse to intervene in the affairs of Shiguo, but Budu took a fancy to the strategic location of Talas City, let us unfold the map of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu. Kang State is located in the southwest of Shiguo, and further south are the United States and Shiguo. The northeast of Shiguo Capital is Baishui City and Talas City. These places seem to be a row of oblique buttons on a coat, and Talas is the collar of this coat. The vast desert in the north is blocked by Qianquan Mountain in the east, and the Yaoshen River in the west is the strategic position of "lifting the fur".

After sending troops north, Budu immediately made a decision.

It is also Yaosha River. It is the largest Sir River in Central Asia today. It originates from the Karakorm Mountains, crosses Central Asia and finally injects into the Aral Sea. After the decline of Tuqi Shi, this river actually became the dividing line between the Tang Dynasty and the white-clothed and big food. It was controlled by the big food to the west, and the Shi Kingdom and Bahanna countries in the east were the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty.

The abundant water volume of Yaoshahe also created the fertility and fertility of the land of Shiguo. The vast and virgin forests were distributed on both sides of the river. From Kangguo along Yaoshahe, you can bypass Tuozhe City and Baishui City and go straight to Talas. Che Duodu sent people to Budu for help. This was also the way.

The first snow had fallen overnight. At this time, there were still sparse snowflakes in the sky, falling like pine balls, and the coldness enveloped both sides of the river. It was the cold and white winter again. The sky was gray, the snow was creaking by the feet, the branches were bent by the snow, and the sky suddenly became so dark.

Yaoshahe originally had only one lonely bridge in the territory of the Shi Kingdom, which was the stone bridge in which the Tang army and the Dashi Army encountered the battle. The massacre in Tuozhe City had already destroyed the stone bridge. A thick layer of white snow was covered with the bridge. Almost all the merchants passed through a newly built bridge to the north, and went through Baishui City to Suye City and finally headed to Kucha.

In a dense forest on the east side of the bridge, a thin Tang army struggled to climb to the top of the big tree, and snow all over the sky suddenly appeared in front of him. This was an extremely young Tang army, even a young man. His name was Zhao Qilang. He was originally a wanderer in Chang'an City. A few years ago, a golden ball made him have an indissoluble bond with Li Fei Shouyu. They were both friends and masters and apprentices. Li Fei Shouyu was ordered to guard Xiao Bolu, but Zhao Qilang wanted to make contributions in war, so he followed Li Qing west and became a scout of the Tang army.

"Qilang, have you seen it?" Someone below was shouting loudly. The one who was shouting was a Tang army captain, who was about 40 years old. His name was Jiuyanchang. He was originally a trooper of the Doulu Army. In the fifth year of Tianbao, Li Qing killed Tubo Zanpu, he was the first to discover the Tubo Zanpu camp, made great contributions, and promoted to scout lieutenant, and was under the jurisdiction of Duan Xiushi.

This time their mission was to observe whether there were any enemy troops in the Yaoshahe River Basin. Duan Xiushi sent a total of twenty scouts, and Jiu Yanchang's scouts were one of them. They seemed to have seen black spots in the distance, but later disappeared. In order to see the truth, Jiu Yanchang ordered Zhao Qilang to climb a tree more than ten feet high to look into the distance.

"It's really a hell. Are there any moving black spots there? Could it be that the old wine cat has urinated too much and isn't it because it's because it's too dazzled?"

Zhao Qilang rubbed his eyes, but there was still a vast gray area in front of him. The dense forest was covered with white coats. Flying snow blocked his sight. He lowered his head and shouted down, "Old wine, there are no black spots?"

"You have to think and see a little further!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qilang jumped to another branch, and tried hard to look into the distance. Suddenly, he vaguely saw countless black dots appearing behind a hill, winding towards this side. At this time, the Tang army on the top of the mountain also sent a signal, indicating that they had also discovered the enemy situation.

"Old wine, I saw a lot of people coming towards this side, it should be the army."

Zhao Qilang was like a monkey, and slipped down from the tree in a few seconds. He hurried to Jiu Yanchang, "It's not time to go back and report immediately!"

"Report! What to report?"

Jiu Yanchang shook his head and said, "We are scouts. We must provide as accurate as possible numbers, their marching attempts, and the troops, arms, equipment, etc. we don't know about them, and reporting is also a dereliction of duty."

"But the military situation is like fire, we can't afford to delay it!"

Jiu Yanchang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "Why not do this? You should take the two brothers back to report first, and I will stay and then explore."

Zhao Qilang received the order and led two Tang troops to hurried back to the camp, while Jiu Yanchang led the others to quickly hide in the dense forest. Gradually, the snow covered the footprints they left behind.

The army that the Tang army scouts saw was indeed the 20,000 Kang Guo Army and the 3,000 Dashi Army led by Budu himself. The result was slightly different from the Li Qing's guess. In the capital of Kang Guo, Samojian, there were not only 30,000 people. In a few months, Budu had already recruited nearly 100,000 troops from various countries. In terms of number, the 100,000 people had far exceeded the Tang army. However, after an encounter, Budu had already experienced the power of the Tang army, which was no less than the elite of Abbas, and even surpassed the Dashi Army in terms of equipment. He knew that this variegated 100,000 coalition army could not even compete with the 100,000 Anxi Army, and Abbas's direct army could compete with the Tang army.

At this time, more than 20,000 troops of Budu had arrived on the west bank of Yaoshahe. There were two roads from here, one crossed the stone bridge to Tuozhe City; the other crossed the bridge, but went north along the river, finally crossed the river to the north, and then rushed east to Talas City.

The army stopped at the intersection and waited for Budu's order. Budu urged the horse to come to the bridge and stared at the top of the mountain carefully. Although he could not see the details on the mountain, he knew very well that there must be a scout from the Tang army staring at him from afar.

At this time, Marshal Kang stepped forward and smiled flatteringly at Budu and said, "His Highness Emil, his subordinates thought that the Tang army was going to attack Talas City with all their might at this time. Tuozhe City would inevitably be empty. We might as well attack Tuozhe City directly and let the Tang army return to defense. The siege of Talas City will naturally be resolved. There is also this in the Tang army's military strategy, which I remember called "Eie".

What are you going to surround me?"

"This is called surround Wei and save Zhao!" Budu glanced at him coldly and said, "The Tang people also have a military strategy to know themselves and enemies, and they will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Do you know who the commander of the Anxi Army is now?"

"Isn't it Gao Xianzhi?"

"It might be Gao Xianzhi ten days ago, but it is not now." Budu sighed long, unable to see whether his mood was relaxed or heavy. In the past few months, in order to understand Li Qing's situation, Budu specially sent people to Chang'an to collect all information about him, how he became a fortune, his official career, his faction, and why he was demoted to Anxi. All signs indicate that this is a person highly valued by Li Longji. Otherwise, in just five or six years, how could he become an important official in the Tang Dynasty? But Budu saw a secret from it. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty used him, he was wary of him. After conquering Shibao City, he was removed from military power and transferred back to Beijing to become the Minister of Revenue. From this time, he promoted him to the governor of Anxi, but put a young royal family by his side. These are all manifestations of distrust.

On the one hand, Budu sent people to collect Li Qing's intelligence, and on the other hand, he had dealt with Li Qing himself. He knew that he was a man who was good at using tricks. He had to pass by the side of Tuozhe City from Kangguo north. How could Li Qing not have thought that he would use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao? Budu was almost sure that Li Qing's besieging Talas was just a false attack. The real main force of the Anxi Army was still in Tuozhe City, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Budu stared at the top of the mountain. After a long time, he suddenly smiled proudly, waved his hand and said softly: "The army crossed the stone bridge and advanced towards Tuozhe City..."

The scouts went to explore the way first, and then teams of Kang Guo soldiers crossed the stone bridge and headed towards Tuozhe City. Jiuyanchang, who was ambushing on the top of the mountain, had completed the scout's mission. They immediately retreated to the top of the mountain and ran towards the camp.

But Budu's army stopped after only ten miles. They suddenly turned around, retreated back to the stone bridge, and rushed north along the Yaosha River.

The scheming Budu did not make any mistakes. Li Qing's main force of Anxi Army was indeed Tuozhe City. The besieging Talas was only part of the Doulu Army and the newly established Dayuan Army. However, just as Li Qing did not guess the number of his army, Budu did not guess the real intention of Li Qing's main force staying in Tuozhe City.

In the early morning, before dawn, snowflakes were dancing in the sky. Li Qing turned over from the bed and sat up quickly. He had to rush back before the nightmao.

The day before yesterday, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Xi Shi Luolan officially ascended the throne as the Queen of the Shi Kingdom. The enthronement form has been sent to Chang'an, waiting for the imperial court to enthronement. Although the Tang Dynasty wanted to build the Dayuan Military Town in Tuozhecheng, this did not conflict with the Shi Kingdom system. In fact, the four towns in Anxi have been controlled by the Tang Dynasty for many years, but their kings are still there, just a nominal king. Moreover, when the Shi Kingdom was first pacified, Princess Luolan became a king, it was necessary for the Han people living in the Shi Kingdom to be more than the Turks, they could establish counties and counties in the Shi Kingdom and completely belong to the Tang Dynasty. This is a later story.

Li Qing put on his middle clothes and reached out to search the end of the bed. He couldn't find what he was looking for for a long time. He couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Luo Lan, have you seen my socks?"

At this time, a smooth and white arm came around from his waist, hugging his waist tightly, and a jade hand immediately groped down. Luo Lan put his pretty face full of satisfaction on Li Qing's back, and acted coquettishly in a sweet and sweet voice, "Before dawn, you should stay with her again, okay?"

Li Qing was so eager that she felt touched. He turned around and pressed her under him, put his hand into the quilt and rubbed her plump and elastic body, lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips, attached it to her ear and teased, "Are you hungry again?"

Luo Lan's face turned red. She twisted her body like a coquettish, her red lips pursed gently, her eyes were blurred and she glanced at him sideways, and she was so wobbly that she almost squeezed out water. Li Qing restrained her desire and only touched her breasts, and smiled and said, "I'll come again tonight!" Then she pulled up the quilt and covered her.

He jumped directly from the bed to the ground, turned around and shrugged helplessly at her, "You know, you don't want me to smash my butt by the military rules I set!"

Luo Lan sat up, with a large snow-white body exposed outside the quilt. She said quietly while dressing: "You always have a reason. I'll ask you again, when will you let me see your wife?"

"Um...this...I will take you to see her when I have the chance in the future." Li Qing's head suddenly became ten times bigger. He quickly put his shoes and socks on his feet and gently pushed the window a crack. Suddenly, "Ah!", "Luo Lan, come and see, it's snowing outside!"

"You told me last night and wanted to divert my attention. Bah! I really want to marry you! I don't want to be like that princess of the Tang Dynasty, not even a title."

Luo Lan said lazily while combing her hair, "I am the king of the Shi Kingdom. It is reasonable that you should be my queen!"

Li Qing laughed loudly and reached out to twist her face, "Yes, my Majesty the King!"

After saying that, Li Qing pushed open the door and left. Several maids who had been waiting outside had rushed in to serve the queen when they saw him coming out, but they heard a "bang!" sound from the door, and a pillow chased Li Qing's back. After a long time, Luo Lan's smug laugh suddenly came from the room, "You don't want to tell her, can't I write a letter myself?"

Although it was not yet dawn, the thick snow on the ground had already reflected the earth. At this time, the gate of Tuozhe City was creakingly opened. Li Qing, surrounded by hundreds of personal soldiers, rushed out of the city gate and rushed towards the camp.

The Anxi Army camp was one mile away from Tuozhe City. In just a moment, the group arrived at the camp. When the guards saw that the commander had returned, they immediately opened the small door and let him in.
