Chapter 70: I want to return the tooth curtain and the possible truth behind it
Seeing that the dancing horse group disappeared without a trace, Sunong Ling jumped anxiously and quickly ordered the soldiers to chase in the direction of Jinyang City.
"Stop chasing," Ashina Yan said: "If you can't catch up...it's useless to catch up. Your blue eyes are gone, I can see it."
"There are still clouds." Sunong Linghua looked up at the sky. A large gray cloud was slowly moving in the direction of the moon. "As long as the clouds cover the moon."
"Can you beat him... If that man wants to escape, we may not be able to stop him with thousands of troops. If we can't kill him, what's the use of catching some shrimp soldiers and crabs."
Sunong Linghua knew what she said was reasonable, but she was a little unwilling to do so. She looked at Jinyang City in the distance and wished she could fight in all night to avenge the camp that was set on fire today.
Turning around to look at Ashinayan, she burst into laughter.
Sunong Linghua was puzzled now. She was not in such a good mood when she confronted Wu Ma earlier.
"What are you happy about?" Sunong Linghua asked.
"I just can't hold it in anymore."
"I do not understand……"
"Hey, I just think that this dancer in Jinyang City is really a hypocrite."
"How to say."
Ashina Yan said with a smile: "He obviously hated me to the extreme. He didn't want to see me for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't dare to kill me, so he had to deliberately drive me out of Jinyang City.
This time I finally came out, but he said such high-sounding words again, as if he was being kind and righteous, letting me go, which is really shameless. Just pretend, everyone pretends, as if no one can do it——
Since he wanted me to be afraid of him, I just pretended to be afraid. Extremely afraid."
Sunong Linghua shook her head and said she didn't understand it at all.
"It doesn't matter," Ashina Yan said: "You just need to remember that this dancing horse is very cunning, very treacherous, and very cruel - I have every reason to suspect that this burning night attack, as well as all the previous association rates,
His actions are all part of his calculations. Therefore, when you deal with him in the future, you must be careful, careful, and careful again!"
"You praise him too much."
"Really," Ashina Yan said, "I think I said too little... Also, I didn't praise him. I hate him very much - I hate him very much."
"Okay, I'll remind you what the association rate said,"
Sunong Linghua suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Did you kill any Han prisoners when you caught up with them earlier?"
"No," Ashina Yan shook her head with some regret, "It was almost... Damn Dancing Horse, I guess he did it on purpose, I thought I could do it."
"Ah... not one of them died..."
Sunong Linghua's heart sank, and she suddenly remembered the previous instructions from the association, "In this case, wouldn't the awakened disciples in Jinyang be able to achieve the perfect divine purpose?"
"You know this too?"
"I heard what the association said - he said that if he asks his opponent to achieve the perfect divine purpose, Tengrita will suffer."
"He really tells you everything,"
Ashina Yan stretched his body and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to get this perfect divine decree."
"Why."
"Do you know what it means for Jinyang people to get the perfect divine decree?"
Sunong Linghua shook her head.
"It means - they want to form a deadly feud with us," Ashina Yan looked towards the far south, "Li Yuan's goal is Daxing, not the Khan's tent. For now, he dare not offend us.
."
"But……"
Sunong Linghua suddenly remembered that the association had said that the awakening tower of Jinyang people had just been recruited, "Li Yuan and his vassal awakening disciples may not know about the perfect divine decree."
Ashina Yan said with a smile: "So, I happened to remind one of their officials who particularly needed this news - even among the high officials in Jinyang, not everyone wanted the Datang Tower to be built.
It’s too big. Don’t worry, someone will solve this problem for us.”
Hearing her words of certainty, Sunong Linghua felt at ease. Now that Ashina Yan is back, she will definitely have to return to Tengger Tower in the future. She cannot just watch Tengger Tower suffer misfortune.
After getting rid of the biggest worry in her heart, Sunong Linghua was able to take a closer look at the noble beauty in front of her.
Earlier, Sunong Linghua heard that she had been poisoned and her life and death were unknown.
Some people also said that she was taken away by Atiao Gelan. Various versions of the story were circulated in the Turkic Khan's court, and Sunong Linghua was naturally very interested. She wanted to ask her how she came to Shanxi after leaving these days.
Yang, how did he get into the Jinyang Army? What happened... Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that the association leaders were still fighting tooth and nail with the Jinyang Army at the south gate of the camp. He quickly organized troops to go to support.
.
"The battle is over," Ashina Yan yawned and said, "What else are you going to do?"
"Um?"
"Han people are not stupid,"
Ashina Yan took her hand and walked towards the gate of the previously opened fence, "Do they really think that they can swallow up our tens of thousands of Turkic troops with just a few thousand soldiers and horses who attack at night? Let's kill them.
If they are rescued, it will be accomplished today. There is no need to fight to the death... Maybe the people of Jinyang will suffer in the end.
If my guess is correct, Wu Ma will send a message to Li Shimin soon..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a firework rising into the sky in the wilderness.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of gongs coming from the entrance of the camp.
"Well... you heard it," Ashina Yan said, "This is called Ming Jin's retreat."
"Are they going to escape?" Sunong Linghua sounded excited, "Then why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"
"Oh...you really think too much.
With a talent like Li Shimin and a cunning man like Wu Ma, can he think of a way out? After a while, the city's reinforcements will attack, archers will support them, and the stones on the city wall will be smashed down hard. The pursuit is in vain...
…”
"Hurry up and find me a clean place. Oops, I'm so sleepy. You don't know that the dancing horse is so tight to me that it follows me even when I have to go to the toilet. It makes me nervous every day."
"Bah, Wu wants to kick me out... It seems like no one wants to stay in his house. If I hadn't been thinking about sending you a message, I would have come out a long time ago."
"Tong Luo Gu, come here, we haven't seen each other for a while? Why are you getting more and more timid... You still praise that guy named Wu, he is so awesome."
"Hmph, my information is correct...it was Wu who suddenly changed his mind."
"No...I don't plan to stay here for long...I've been threatened like this, why should I stay here? Wait for him to come and kill me."
…
Sunong Linghua listened patiently to her talk, as if she wanted to make up for all the unspoken Turkic words she had owed these days. After hearing this sentence, Sunong Linghua finally couldn't help but say:
"What... you're not coming with us?"
"What are we doing together?"
"Beat Jinyang."
“Why should I help association rates?”
"Then this time..."
"Don't talk about this time...this time, I just don't want to help the Han people."
"Then where are you going?"
"I want to go back to Yazhang," Ashina Yan looked to the north. "There are still many things waiting for me to do."
…
The fire-line rescue in the Turkic camp finally came to an end, but this burning night attack had not yet come to an end. On the other side, the balance of the main battlefield finally tilted towards the Turks.
Originally, the association led a group of light cavalry squatting in the mountains and forests at night, guarding the [Dark Mist], waiting hard for reinforcements.
But [Dark Mist] is not like [Kasaya Dark Side] that can be used frequently throughout the night.
Not long after the association led the soldier to deliver the letter to Sunong Linghua, the color of the black mist gradually began to fade, and then the area covered by the black mist also began to shrink, and after a while it finally disappeared completely.
The association led a group of soldiers to form a circular formation and retreated, fought, and supported themselves. Finally, the two Qijins sent by Sunong Linghua, each with 5,000 men and horses, slaughtered them from both sides.
Li Shimin had gone through several battles to suppress peasant rebels and accumulated rich practical experience. He was very good at seeing the subtleties and adapting to situations. When he saw that the shouts in the fire camp gradually subsided, he knew that the Turks were about to stabilize their position and had already arranged a retreat.
Plan and arrange your retreat formation.
Looking at the dancing horse again, Yuwen Jianxue came to the safe signal, and knowing that Pei Ji had earlier withdrawn the captured people into the city, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Zheng Xiang's troops withdrew, and Liu Wenjing released a fire snake that burned an open space between the two armies. The archers fired arrows from a distance, and the infantry and cavalry retreated in an orderly manner.
Li Yuan was worried and ordered his eldest son, Sun Shunde, to go out of the city with more than a thousand archers to respond. The army attacked at night and fought and retreated. When they arrived at the foot of Jinyang City, they finally returned to the city safely amid the rain of arrows and flying rocks from the top of the city wall.
…
After entering the city gate, the dancing horse walked forward alone.
Yuwen Jianxue followed him. She had a lot of questions to ask.
"Wu Langjun, how do you know Qingxia is from Turkic people?"
The dancing horse gallops forward, as if recalling something,
"When I was in the secret room, I heard Tian Deping call her Na Yan. At that time, I just thought her last name was a bit rare.
Later, when I heard the name Ashina Kushiro, I suddenly thought, Na Yan, Na Yan... why can't it be Ashina Yan.
Tian Deping once mentioned the words Changshengtian, Quele, and Tengger. At first, I didn't quite understand it, but then I suddenly remembered that Tengger is Changshengtian, the god of the Turks.
From then on, I was a little suspicious of her."
When Dancing Horse spoke, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
It was rare for him, who had always been indifferent, to be so patient today. Yuwen Jianxue planned to seize the opportunity and throw out all the problems in his stomach——
"I heard from the master that you had already guessed that the Turks had laid an ambush in the valley. How did you guess that?"
"I haven't guessed. One night, I went out of the city and took a look. Those Turks all wore tree branch hats on their heads. Thanks to my good eyesight - don't think too much of me. I can't guess everything.
arrive.
Oh, right.
It was the night when Qingxia disobeyed the command and got out of her cassock... I saw the Turks ambushing us in the valley where we were targeting, and I quickly thought that the reason why Qingxia risked her life to lure the enemy was to send a message to the Turks.
Woolen cloth.
This is very possible. Otherwise, how could Qingxia escape from the Turkic army with her skill?"
I see.
Yuwen Jianxue gradually came to understand. No wonder that night, the Horse Dance Club suddenly proposed to temporarily stop the suspicious tactics and led everyone back to Jinyang City. If they really went to that valley, wouldn't they be rushing into a wolf's den?
Now that he knew the Turks' plan, the rest of what happened to Yuwen Jianxue was not surprising - Wu Ma took advantage of the situation, and while concealing Qingxia's plan, he devised a strategy of a night attack with fire, while letting the gang members wait in the valley for several days.
This can also explain why Wu Ma knew Qingxia was a Turk but did not arrest her early. If Qingxia was exposed, the Turks would naturally not be fooled.
Even... Yuwen Jianxue suddenly thought of a possibility... Could Wu Ma have been deliberately delaying time, using the excuse of bad weather in Yun Duoyue to stay in the city, and in the end, forced the association to make more changes?
Something that was too much - in this case, Duke Tang would have to take action to fight back.
As a result, the Divine Purpose of the Tang Pagoda will have better room to display, and you will be able to obtain richer rewards.
This means that the tragedy of the Turks mistreating and killing prisoners was indirectly caused by Wu Ma.
In fact, Wu Ma may have anticipated this result from the beginning.
this is too scary……
