Thinking of this, Wang Junlin called in two close guards and ordered them to take their tokens and a secret message and walk as quickly as possible through the mountains and ridges to find the three thousand men led by Jiang Mulang, Li Xiang and Su Changqing. The cavalry of Gaotaicheng.
"According to Shen Guang's letter, after Yu Zhongwen left the capital, he only led a few followers and rushed to Yongzhou day and night. I hope it's still too late." Wang Junlin faintly felt that a big net was trying to kill him. The people behind this big net are currently known to be Yang Su, the most powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty, Duke of Yue State, the Yu family and the Li family, the top nobles of Guanlong, and the Turkic Five Thousand Silver Wolf King Cavalry. Who knows? There may be other forces. After all, although Wang Junlin gained a lot from Yang Su in the three months in the capital, he also forged grudges with many forces. There were many people who were afraid of him, but those who wanted to kill him and then be quick were equally afraid. Very few, especially from various wealthy and aristocratic families.
…
…
Almost at the same time that Wang Junlin received Shen Guang's letter, Yu Zhongwen finally arrived at Shabang Pass and was picked up by Li Fengyun who was waiting at Shabang Pass.
Even Li Congrui, who was originally from the Li clan and Li Fengyun's confidant, didn't know that Li Fengyun, as General Yingyang Lang of Zhangye County, personally went to Shapingguan and stayed there for many days. Although he personally came to dispatch troops and generals, he wanted to Wang Junlin's purpose was to lead to Heilangxing and block his retreat, but the more important reason was to personally greet Yu Zhongwen, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to supervise the army.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Yu Zhongwen entered Shapingguan, due to an order signed by Zhongwen and Li Fengyun at the same time, he was quickly sent out along the spacious Shagan Road to the three commanders of Gaotai City who had rushed to Zhangye County. In the hands of Jiang Mulang and three others from Thousand Cavalry.
The general meaning of this military order is: the Turkic cavalry who pretended to be Tyuhun people to hijack the grain road were afraid of the reputation of Qin'anhou, and had voluntarily withdrawn from the Turks. Qin'anhou had been ordered to go to Xiping County to assist the marching general Yu Juluo in attacking Xiping City as soon as possible. After defeating the Tuyuhun people, three thousand cavalrymen from Gaotaicheng were ordered to cross the Qilian Mountains and sneak attack the Tuyuhun lair in the south of the Qilian Mountains.
The content of this order is reasonable and reasonable. At least for Su Changqing, Jiang Mulang, and Li Xiang, the three official rookies who have served as captains for less than a year, there is no flaw. Moreover, the order of Yu Zhongwen and Li Fengyun can be said to be Make full use of their character and admiration for their own generals.
It is not a matter of course that the Turkic cavalry fled early because they were afraid of their general's reputation.
It is absolutely normal for the Lord Manager to ask his general to help attack Xiping City. Who in the world does not know the name of his general's poisonous general? The enemy side suffered great losses in the siege battle. The Marquis might have gone there. Use miraculous magic to easily destroy the city.
As for letting them sneak attack on Tuyuhun's lair, it is in line with their characters and ideas. The biggest characteristic of the three captains is their youth and arrogance, and the young people have just held the high position for a short time, and what they want to do most is to prove themselves. Ability can be described as eagerness to achieve success.
Therefore, Jiang Mulang, Su Changqing, and Li Xiang worked together, and after receiving a large number of reinforcements in Zhangye County, they searched for a secret passage through the north and south of the Qilian Mountains that day, and headed for Tuyuhun's lair.
Wang Junlin didn't know these things yet. Because of Yu Zhongwen's appearance, he changed his original plan to go to Sha Bang Pass to "deceive the pass". After all, with his power and the imperial edict in his hand, he had already controlled three thousand troops.
Next, as long as he enters Shabang Pass, he is confident to control the other 7,000 defenders of Shabang Pass and capture Li Fengyun. However, if there is Yu Zhongwen, the military supervisor with the title of imperial envoy, in Shabang Pass now, then he will
It's different now. He doesn't even dare to let Li Congrui and other sixteen original generals with 3,000 troops know about Yu Zhongwen's existence, so as not to let these people have other thoughts and cause trouble again.
After repeated consideration, Wang Junlin resolutely decided to go through Heilangxing and head to Zhangye City. He wanted to join the three thousand trusted cavalry from Gaotaicheng as soon as possible. If the latter was really deceived by Yu Zhongwen and Li Fengyun as Xu Jingzong suspected,
Elsewhere, he had to find a way to deal with Li Fengyun while he was waiting at Shaping Pass, get to Zhangye City first, powerfully control the 10,000 defenders in Zhangye City, and obtain the support of Jiang Yishan, the governor of Zhangye County.
Thereby firmly controlling Zhangye City in his own hands, only in this way can he remain invincible.
If he could not reach Zhangye City before Li Fengyun and Yu Zhongwen, he would do the next best thing and continue westward, returning to his home base of Gaotai City. There were two thousand defenders left behind under the leadership of Zhou Hu, plus he was in Gaotai.
After a year of running the city, he can still remain invincible, and no matter how brave Li Fengyun and Yu Zhongwen are, it is possible to surround and kill him in the field, but they will never dare to openly lead an army to attack Gaotai City, unless
They wanted to massacre the city afterwards.
However, whether it is Zhangye City or Gaotai City, if they want to reach it as soon as possible, the only one who can go is Heilangxing. At the other end of Heilangxing, there are five thousand Turkic Silver Wolf King riding waiting for them. But Wang Junlin did not
Choice, he can only do this kind of thing of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, prefer to travel to the tiger mountains".
…
"...Everyone, this is the situation. Li Fengyun's crime of colluding with the Turks is unforgivable, and I will kill him. But now, except for the three thousand men and horses under you, all of my Zhangye army have been deceived by Li Fengyun.
Now Li Fengyun is guarding Shaping Pass. If we go there rashly, the 7,000 men and horses deceived by Li Fengyun will definitely fight against us. I don’t want my brothers to kill each other, so I want to reach Zhangye City in advance and take control of the army.
Then attack Li Fengyun, a man who is destined to die."
"However, Li Fengyun, a thief, colluded with the Turks to block the other side of Heilangxing. If we take other trails, it will take too long and we may not be able to reach Zhangye City before Li Fengyun, so I decided to take the dark route.
Langxing, defeat the Turks and then return to Zhangye City."
When Wang Junlin said these words, he looked confident. If it were Li Fengyun, or even veteran generals like Liu Fang and Yu Juluo, fighting against three thousand Turkic Silver King Wolf Cavalry against five thousand, the people below would definitely feel uneasy.
.
But Wang Junlin was different. If he acted confident, the generals would believe it and not worry much. After all, Wang Junlin won every big victory with a small number of people in last year's war.
To win with many, defeat the enemy with cunning strategies.
"Your Majesty, please give an order. None of our three thousand troops dare to disobey the Lord Marquis' order. The Turkic dog thief will never come back." Li Congrui had completely accepted his fate and surrendered to Wang Junlin from the bottom of his heart. At this time, he took the lead and said loudly.
.Others immediately agreed, but Shangguan Hu, Niu Jinda and other direct descendants of Wang Junlin remained silent.
