The garrison of Mayi City is indeed the private territory of the Guanlong nobles. All the generals and commanders in the army are from the Guanlong nobles. There is inevitably competition between them. Now that Yu Wenfa has angered Fang Jun and is in bad luck, he is still happy.
If it's too late, how can you stand up for Yu Wenfa?
The appointment of the border guard general is the power and responsibility of the Ministry of War. As the left minister of the Ministry of War, Fang Jun is very responsible for his words in the Ministry of War. The so-called writing is just a process. As long as he can fully cooperate in the future, the position of this guard general will be considered.
Take a seat...
The rest of the generals looked at Dugu Shouzhong with envy, what a lucky girl.
However, they are all self-aware, not to mention that Dugu Shouzhong is a deputy general. If the commander commits an offense, the deputy general will take his place. This is the rule in the army. It is to give them this opportunity. Afterwards, when facing the Yuwen family who were very angry after losing this position, they also
It's not something they can resist.
Fang Jun ignored the garrison generals and ordered to Dugu Shouzhong: "Immediately seal the four gates, no one is allowed in, and no one is allowed out. Send scouts to explore the horses, and immediately spy on Dingxiang City. The news from Xue Yantuo's side is all detailed, and within half an hour
Submit it once without delay!"
"promise!"
Dugu Shouzhong loudly accepted the order, turned around and walked out.
After a while, he ran back in a panic and shouted loudly, amidst the different eyes of people in the room: "Commander! Dingxiang is reporting urgently. Ashina Simo has abandoned Dingxiang City and led the Turks to drive the cattle.
The sheep and horses are retreating towards Mayi City, and Xue Yantuo's army has already crossed the Evil Yang Ridge and is in hot pursuit!"
Everyone in the room was shocked!
Xue Yantuo really took advantage of the leopard's guts and actually wanted to annihilate the Eastern Turks?!
Xue Wanche was furious: "How dare you! The Eastern Turks were supported by the Tang Dynasty to restore the country. If Xue Yantuo dared to attack the Eastern Turks, that would be a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty! Erlang, give the order. I will personally lead the right military guard."
Go out of the city and give me a severe blow!"
Li Siwen, Qu Tuquan and other generals also looked excited and loudly asked for orders: "Commander, please give the order. We will fight to the death. Anyone who dares to offend the power of the Tang Dynasty will not be forgiven!"
"Commander please give the order!"
"Commander please give the order!"
…
The warmongers in the room were all flushed with excitement. They all thought that this trip was just a formality, and that it was probably just a matter of having a good chat with Xue Yantuo and that was all.
Who would have thought that Xue Yantuo would be so bold as to attack the East Turks brazenly?
The Eastern Turks were supported by the Tang Dynasty, serving as a barrier to the northern frontier and serving as a buffer between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo. If Xue Yantuo was allowed to destroy the Eastern Turks, not only would their prestige be seriously damaged, but it would also cause Xue Yantuo to clear his way south.
Through the passage, leaving Daqi and crossing Baidao, you can reach Mayi directly, threatening Shuozhou!
This scene must never happen!
The war is just around the corner and meritorious deeds are at your fingertips. Who can not be excited?
Fang Jun looked solemn, waved his hand, and said: "Don't be impatient. We have just arrived in Mayi, and we don't know what the situation ahead is. How can we fight if we know ourselves but don't know the enemy? We should organize our troops and horses separately, and wait until the scouts in front of us inspect the horses.
Let’s wait until the news comes back!”
Xue Wanche said anxiously: "Then Xue Yantuo is chasing after the Turks. If we are late in sending troops, won't we all be killed?"
Fang Jun said angrily: "Do you think Ashina Simo is an idiot? Since he dared to abandon Dingxiang City, he must have expected that Xue Yantuo would chase after him, so how could he not make arrangements in advance? Besides,
, they are just Turks, it doesn’t matter how many die..."
Xue Wanche: "..."
Mother!
They're just Turks, it doesn't matter how many die?
What you said makes so much sense, I'm actually speechless...
Li Siwen couldn't restrain his excitement and exclaimed: "Erlang, how can we miss such a good opportunity? As long as we defeat Xue Yantuo in one battle, they will be embarrassed to mention the marriage again and can only return to Mobei in despair. This is a huge disaster.
Great work!"
"What's the use of your brain?"
Fang Jun scolded: "It is a taboo in the army to be greedy for merit and rush into advancement! Your Majesty is an undefeated general of the Tang Dynasty. How did you give birth to such a reckless guy? Calm down, don't be anxious, first understand the situation ahead, and then
Speculating on Xue Yantuo’s true intentions, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible! Besides, since Xue Yantuo dared to attack the Turks brazenly, he must have a big plan, and he might be planning to annex the entire Chile River!"
His eyes flashed: "If this is the case, Xue Yantuo will definitely advance with all his troops, intending to kill the Turks and then occupy Dingxiang City, using it as Xue Yantuo's southernmost stronghold to confront the Tang Dynasty, and then calmly station troops in Chile north of Dingxiang
Sichuan... Humph, if Xue Yantuo is really so greedy, he will definitely make it impossible for them to come and go! This kind of achievement is nothing! Think about it, annihilating tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry... what kind of achievement is that?"
"Mother!"
Everyone in the room took a breath!
Xue Wanche swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice: "It's enough to be famous in history!"
Li Siwen was also dazzled: "Let me do the math... I guess it's almost enough to be granted the title of Duke, right?"
Fang Jun clapped his hands and said: "Go and get ready. Don't wait for Xue Yantuo's troops to come to the city and be helpless!"
"promise!"
The generals suddenly accepted the order.
Fang Jun looked at the still gloomy sky and falling snowflakes outside, but he couldn't hide his regret in his heart.
If the empire's focus was not on the Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo, it would be impossible to say that after gathering the forces of the two guards and defeating Dadu in one fell swoop, they would be able to take advantage of the emptiness inside Xue Yantuo and cross the Baidaochuan River into Mobei.
, the army galloped across the battlefield, re-enacting Li Jing’s unparalleled feat when he stormed Yu Dujun Mountain!
Even, it was not impossible to restrain Shi Yanran and seal the wolf as Xu!
Seal the wolf to live in Xu, and restrain Shi Yanran!
Fang Junchang thought about the heroic figures of the Han family in the past, chasing death and galloping across the north, and felt dazzled...
That is the supreme achievement that every son of the Han family pursues!
*****
On the pass from Dingxiang City to Mayi City, herds of cattle and sheep were crowded with people. The cries of children and the howls of adults scolding the cattle and sheep made them appear panicked and desolate amid the falling snow.
Ashina Simo's face was as dark as water. He looked up at the messy snowflakes in the gloomy sky and asked Qu Shuai beside him: "How far are the people of Xue Yantuo?"
Qu Shuai said: "The scouts looked far away from the mountain ridge and saw that Xue Yantuo's battalion was already less than thirty miles away."
Thirty miles, this is the limit of vision in snowy weather. In fact, it may be closer. For the cavalry, it is just a matter of breathing. They can catch up with them in a short while.
"Where's Kang Sumi?"
"He is leading his troops to lead the way."
Ashina Simo said angrily: "This road leads directly to Mayi. Do I need him to lead the way? Call him to me!"
"promise!"
Qu Shuai quickly rode forward. Within a moment, Kang Sumi rode up and asked loudly: "When will the Great Khan call me?"
Ashina Simo gave an order with a gloomy face: "Xue Yantuo's pursuers are only twenty miles away from here. They are coming with a fierce force. The troops are driving the cattle and sheep too slowly. You lead your own warriors to resist for a while and buy time for the large army!
"
Kang Sumi: "..."
His long face turned red instantly, anger looming on his face.
The queen resisted for a while?
That's easy to say!
Those are tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, and my mere three thousand Li Te people are going to resist them?
It's like hitting an egg against a stone!
Even if you hate me, you can't kill someone with a knife at this time, right?
Ashina Simo naturally knew what Kang Sumi was thinking, and said warmly: "I also know that this matter is difficult for you, but the current situation is like this, what can I do? If all the Li Te people die, I will send the Turkic Wolf Cavalry to the rear, and the Wolf Cavalry will
All are dead, I will go into battle myself! Even if all the soldiers die in battle, we must protect these tribesmen to reach Mayi! You must know that there are not only Turks here, your tribe is also among them! Die for the Turks
It’s all gone, do you think the Li Te people can still survive?”
When Kang Sumi took refuge with Jieli Khan, he brought the entire tribe to surrender. Later, when he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he also brought the entire tribe with him. Later, His Majesty Li Er placed him in Dingxiang City, one to assist and the other to monitor.
His tribe naturally followed him and settled in Dingxiang City...
Kang Sumi is a sinister and treacherous person, but to the tribe, he is a qualified patriarch.
Listening to Ashina Simo's threatening words, Kang Sumi's anger disappeared, and there was only infinite sadness in her heart...
From the moment he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in order to survive, he and his tribe embarked on a double-dealing road of no return. The Tang Dynasty only regarded him as a dog to contain and monitor the Turks, because the Turks
I will never forgive him for his betrayal.
He thought he was still of some use to the Tang Dynasty, but it turned out that they didn't take him seriously at all.
