Chapter 4 Qiancheng (No. 3 Middle School) In Dugu Lin’s eyes, the flame was clearly that of the Great Sui Dynasty. It was both prosperous and declining. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly darkened. His body swayed, but he did not fall down even though he was supported by a pole.
Next, a stream of dark black blood gurgled out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
"Chongmu, Chongmu, come here quickly, Chongmu is injured!" Seeing this, Luo Shixin didn't bother to argue with Dugu Lin anymore, rushed forward and helped him, shouting
Countless looks of concern were cast towards him, including those from the county soldiers and those from the army under Yun Dingxing. Everyone had always had deep respect in their hearts for Dugu Lin, a relative of the emperor who did not have the slightest hint of arrogance. They were secretly admiring him just now.
This man leads the way in battle and is unstoppable. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he is already on the verge of collapse.
"Find a clean place and let Master Dugu lie down in Zhangjiang. You go to the back of the mountain and bring the horse over!" Li Xu panicked when he saw Dugu Lin vomiting blood and shouted to the soldiers.
"Hey!" Lieutenant Zhang Jiang agreed, and stumbled into the distance along the mountain ridge. Everyone left the military camp in a hurry after receiving the news from Ashina Gutuoru in the afternoon.
In order to avoid being spotted by the Turks, the leading doctor and the army were driven to another nearby canyon with only an entrance and no exit. They were not around at all.
Seeing with his own eyes that everyone was so busy working for him, Dugu Lin felt a warm current in his heart and threw Luo Shixin's hand away. He stood firm, smiled, and explained to everyone: "I was a little tired from the killing just now.
, all the energy and blood surged for a moment, and my nose was broken." He stretched out his hand and wiped it randomly between the corners of his mouth and nostrils. He then ordered with a smile, "Everyone should do whatever you want to do, keep doing it, hurry up, wait for Mr. Li to come and join us, and then together
Go back to Yanmen to see the emperor!"
"You're like this and you still want to see the emperor!" Luo Shixin held Dugu Lin's shoulder again, feeling angry and hating that the blood from his broken nose and the blood from vomiting were not the same color at all. Although the sky was dark at this moment, the torch was still there.
Make his eyes sparkle
"Shixin, don't disturb the morale of the army!" Dugu Lin shouted in an extremely low voice.
"Bullshit military morale, the Turks have been beaten and fled by us," Luo Shixin cursed, squatting down and trying to carry Dugu Lin out of the valley, but the body behind him felt like it was rooted on a rock, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't carry it.
shoulder
"Shixin, listen to me, we, we can't go back alone. We have to wait for Young Master Li and General Qu Tutong, everyone, everyone to gather together before we can drive into Yanmen County." Dugu Lin's intermittent voice came to his ears.
Hearing the voice, Luo Shixin became more and more heartbroken, "We did not rush into the city like General Yuwen did and live and die with the emperor, but instead, we restrained, agreed, and supported the use of troops from the outside, but...
But it is not the same as the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. In addition, we have formed a private alliance with Ashina Gutuoru. It can be said that we follow the authority when the matter is urgent, or, it can also be said that we are having an affair with others!"
"Shit, whoever is talking nonsense, I, I will strangle him to death with my own hands!" Luo Shixin was so angry that he was shaking all over, and tears almost rolled down. In the end, he put Dugu Lin down, supported him and stood in the cold night wind, waiting for the others.
Lu Bingma's news was about leading troops in battles and seizing opportunities. Luo Shixin and Xu Zi asked themselves that they were not inferior to Dugu Lin's understanding of the court's methods. The two of them together could not reach half of Dugu Lin's knowledge.
What His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty cares most about is the loyalty of others to him, followed by the obedience of his ministers. As for the right and wrong decisions of the generals, he ranks far behind. When he first encountered the Turks' attack, what Dugu Lin said
The rear army he led did not retreat to Yanmen with the Chinese army, but chose Nao County, which was more than fifty miles away from Yanmen, to contain the enemy. In the eyes of the emperor, this was probably a big mistake. Moreover, Qi King Yang Jian
He has been in his army. If His Majesty the Emperor is unfortunately killed by the Turks, this person will be the first successor to the throne!
Dugu Lin once urged the army not to rush into Yanmen rashly. Dugu Lin once agreed with Li Xu and Gutuolu to make a secret agreement. When he learned that the Turks were about to withdraw their troops overnight, everyone split up to intercept them first, and then entered the city to face the emperor. It was also his strategy
Although other generals were involved in actively planning and promoting every decision, no one had a higher official position than Dugu Lin, and no one had a closer relationship with Qi Wang Yang Jian than Dugu Lin!
Luo Shixin suddenly remembered the situation when everyone was discussing military affairs in the afternoon. Not long after, the Gutuolu faction's confidants sent a secret report that the Turks wanted to withdraw. After urgent discussions, the Sui army outside Yanmen City decided to divide the troops into four groups, two groups, and one group led by Qu.
Tutong and Yao Junsu led an ambush on the road along the west bank of the Hutuo River to Fanju. The other two groups rushed to the Niuhao Valley connecting Mayi and Yanmen counties and intercepted the enemy. At that time, Dugu Lin also added
He made two suggestions, one of which was to wait until dark before taking action. The second was to send people to Nao County to inform Yun Dingxing and King Qi, asking them to lead the rest of the troops to come quickly to respond.
The first suggestion is easy to understand. The Sui army's camp was very close to the Turks' camp. It was not easy for the enemy to detect their movements after dark. The Turks were so busy at the time that they did not notice the thorns that had been growing like thorns in the past few days.
The enemy camp behind it had turned into an empty camp. As for Dugu Lin's second suggestion, both Luo Shixin and Li Xu thought it was unnecessary, and the soldiers and horses left to Yun Dingxing and King Qi were all old men.
For weak injuries, even if they can arrive in time, they won't be able to help much.
That was not unnecessary, it was to prevent others from giving falsehoods! In an instant, both Luo Shixin and Li Xu understood Dugu Lin's good intentions and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
They do not doubt Dugu Lin's loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, without Nao County to hold him back, Yanmen City would have been conquered by the Turks long ago. If Dugu Lin really wanted to gain support, he would have at least dozens of ways to win over him.
The defenders in Yanmen City have lost all hope of waiting for reinforcements. However, the trust of their companions is not equal to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor is surrounded by a bunch of traitors who are worried about the world being in chaos.
"You, Chongmu, you may be too worried!" After a while, Xuzi smiled and comforted in a low voice.
His smile was very bitter, as if he was chewing a handful of yellow lotus roots in his mouth. This was the Sui Dynasty that he defended regardless of life and death. He was always more careful about guarding his own people than foreign invaders. But he had no other choice and allowed them to be destroyed.
If the foreign enemy destroys it, everyone will be buried with it!
"I miss the days in Qijun with you very much!" Dugu Lin sighed, turned his head, and looked at the stars in the night sky. This night was so long that the stars in the sky were simply fixed in mid-air.
He moved a little and under the starlight and torches, his face was so white, like the frost formed by autumn dew on the grass tips, with almost no dust visible.
The same night dew hit Shibi Khan's face, causing his mind to gradually regain its clarity. The valley full of death traps had been left far behind, and most of his soldiers and horses had escaped from the dangerous situation.
He breathed a sigh of relief and began to examine the reasons for this defeat.
"It's Gu Tuolu. It must be the damn Gu Tuolu who informed the Sui people of the news of the army's evacuation!" The answer was almost obvious in front of him. Without any thought, Shibi Khan could think of who betrayed him after this.
In this disaster, he lost one-third of his direct troops and horses, which greatly reduced the deterrence of the Khans under his command. The person who benefited the most will be Gutuolu. Not only did he completely preserve his own strength, but also passed the last moment before withdrawing.
His performance won over people's hearts
In fact, it is easy to tell the truth behind many seemingly confusing things. As long as you take a closer look at who is the guy who benefited the most in the end, all the confusion will disappear in an instant.
He killed Gutuolu, an immature male wolf, but at the same time he secretly admired Gutuolu's decisiveness and cunning. This was the nature of the Ashina family. People like Queyu would start things with a stomach full of bad ideas.
Those who come but are timid will never accomplish anything big.
Thinking of Queyu, another mystery suddenly emerged in his mind: "Who told the Sui army my retreat route? Gutuolu didn't know it at all, and it was impossible to know it!"
The answer came out immediately, it was Ashina Queyu! Only this old poisonous snake has the conditions to secretly reveal the movement route of the imperial army. Other generals and staff either did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the core secrets, or their fate and fate
He was closely related to Khan and betrayed the retreat route to the Sui Dynasty, and they would not get any benefits!
"Come here, bring Uncle Queyu over! I have something to ask him!" After finding the 'real' reason for the failure of this battle, Shibi Khan smiled and issued an order that confused everyone, and then used his knife to
Pointing to the river beach not far ahead, "Let's take a rest there first and take stock of the losses!"
"Brother, this place is still very close to the Great Wall!" Ashina immediately rushed forward and objected loudly. Half of his beard was burnt by the fire. Therefore, one side of his face was as messy as a straw nest, while the other side was neat and tidy.
looks extremely funny
"Haha, haha, Qi Lifu, look at your bearish look." Shibi Khan laughed dumbly, "Isn't it just that we lost a battle? It's not like our brothers have never lost since we were young. Look at the brothers behind you.
They are so smoky that they are not going to go on the road if they don’t wash themselves off. Besides, you also have to wash yourself up and shave off both sides of your beard with a knife. Not to mention, this half of your face looks more than ten years younger!"
"Brother!" Ashina was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "How long has it been, and you still have the intention to tease me! We are less than twenty miles away from the valley. Once the enemy catches up from behind, brothers...
"
"What Qi Lifu said is so true. We are sweating profusely. We can't stop and rest. Brothers, we sat down with one breath and couldn't stand up for half an hour!" Queyu arrived in a hurry and took Qi Li.
Lever's words, loudly admonished
"Isn't that just what uncle wanted?" Shibi Khan snorted coldly in his nostrils, interrupting Ashina Queyu's words.
Ashina Queyu, who was already as haggard as a seventy-year-old man, shrank suddenly and raised his head quickly, "Great Khan, Queyu did not do anything to apologize to the Great Khan. Changshengtian can testify that if I, the Ashina family
Queyu once betrayed the Great Khan, so he let the thunder from the sky hit me on the forehead!"
"No, there won't be thunder in winter!" Shibi Khan sneered and shook his head, "When it thunders next time, you will probably dig out my heart and give it to Gutuolu!"
After that, he waved his hand quickly, and the tip of the knife sharply drew a string of blood beads on Ashina Choyu's throat.
