"Person Feng, today is the day when the army is setting off?" Just as Li Gong shouted out the word "departure", he was talking to his generals. An Wanli, the general who led the vanguard army to the entrance of the valley, suddenly asked.

"According to the documents of exchange, it is indeed today; if the guardian does not change the date," Feng Nuo was stunned for a moment and replied.

"The army has set out, and we must finish our responsibilities as soon as possible." An Wanli said: "Our soldiers are about 2,000, and the main army led by the escorts themselves is about 46,000, totaling 48,000; there are another 50,000 civilians, totaling 98,000, close to 100,000.

Before leaving, the errand assigned us was to build a camp for 20,000 people to live in. How many have been built now?"

"Including our camp, a camp that has been built for 5,000 people." Feng Nuo replied, but immediately complained: "Don't be the general, this order of the guardian is completely nonsense, and we cannot completely obey it.

Let’s not talk about how difficult it is for us to build a camp of 2,000 people with 2,000 people. Even if it is built, we may not be able to wait until the army arrives.

The generals of Dashi are not fools. Seeing that we are building so many camps, we will definitely think that it is for the construction of the army that is about to come, and we will definitely send people to destroy it. If we do not defend, the camp will be destroyed; if we guard, the already small soldiers will have to continue to disperse. If the big cannibals on the opposite side suddenly dispatch the entire army to attack, we may be in danger of being wiped out!" At the end, Feng Nuo couldn't help but emphasize his tone.

At this time, the army led by An Wanli was stationed on the east side of the hills at the mouth of the Yili River Valley, to be precise, the open land at the east exit. An Wanli divided the two parts into two groups and built camps on both sides of the Yili River.

Less than a mile west from the west gate of the camp, you will enter the narrow road along the river between the hills and the river. And ten miles west of them, there are also two Dashi Army camps built on the road along the river, with about 4,000 troops to confront the Tang army.

Before leaving, the Protector ordered An Wanli to build a camp that was enough for 20,000 people to live in. After he led his troops to the entrance of the valley, he ordered the camps that were built on both sides of the river, which were large enough for 5,000 people to live in.

Although the entrance of the valley was blocked by them, An Wanli did not send a soldier to garrison the hills. Although the army was difficult to walk among the hills, one or two hundred people could still be. If the cannibal suddenly attacked from the west and sent hundreds of people to sneak attack on the mountain roads, the camp they built would definitely be destroyed.

In fact, the camp that is garrisoned with a capacity of 2,500 people is now in a short position and is at risk of being breached, so it is impossible to send troops to defend separately.

"What you said makes sense, but the orders of the Protector are not easy to violate." An Wanli said again.

"Don't general, even if you want to execute the orders of the arch-protector, you can't let everyone risk their death." The captain Wang Da said at this time: "Although I don't know how to go around, we have less than two thousand people, and it is impossible for us to guard the 20,000 camp."

"Yes, don't be in vain, either in vain or defeat the war. After the battle, you have to be in vain and you cannot execute the orders of the guru." said the captain Su Shi.

"It's really impossible to execute it. Don't ask the Protector to modify this order. Deputy Protector Liu, Commander Wang and others are all good at fighting. Even if the Protector doesn't understand, they know that we can't execute the order. They will persuade the Protector and will not punish us." Captain Eugene also said.

"Forget it, since that's the case, I will ask the Protector to modify the order." After glanced at the generals under his command, An Wanli could only say.

"Feng Nuo, come and draft for me." He did not delay at all, and immediately wrote it and sent someone to give it to Li Gong.

"Isn't there a clerk in the tent? Why did I ask me to write?" Feng Nuo muttered, but he didn't delay and immediately took the paper and pen to write.

"I'm not at ease when they write, but I'll be at ease when you write." An Wanli smiled.

In the past, Feng Nuo was his military officer, whether he was stationed in Gongyue City or other cities. At that time, he was a lieutenant and had no full-time clerk. Feng Nuo did all the errands such as drafting documents. Gradually, he formed a habit. Even now that he had been promoted to another general, Feng Nuo was already a lieutenant with the title of military officer. He was also used to ordering Feng Nuo to write.

Feng Nuo quickly finished writing and handed it to An Wanli. An Wanli read it from beginning to end, felt that there was no problem, so he stamped his own seal and ordered the guard to send it immediately.

"It's great now. Finally, there's no need to let the soldiers cut down trees all day long." Seeing the guards retreating, everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Shi smiled.

"That's right! It's just spring, and the ice on the river has not yet melted. It's time for winter, but the soldiers have to cut down trees all day long, and they are tired and easily freezing. I went to the group and complained everywhere." Eugene also said.

"It's finally stopped, the soldiers can rest!" Wang Da shouted happily.

"Okay, stop complaining. I have already asked to stop and there is still something to complain about." An Wanli frowned. Hearing him say this, everyone shut up and sat upright.

"Feng Nuo, where have we just talked about?" he said again.

"Just just now, I was about to report the news from the Dashi Army." Feng Nuo said. The Dashi Army sent a large number of civilians, and almost all civilians were interested in the Tang Dynasty. The Protectorate also bribed several soldiers from the Hardy army to get the news.

"Let me tell me what's important."

"Protector, the most important thing that came from is that Jieshan City is still controlled by our Tang army." Feng Nuo said. Even though he had already learned about it last night, he was a little excited to speak at this moment.

"What? Jieshan City is still controlled by the Tang army?" An Wanli was very surprised and couldn't help but ask.

“It’s true.”

"Oh, this is so good!" An Wanli stood up and shouted happily. Not only him, but others were also very happy.

Jieshan City is located between Ruiye City and Yuluzhou City, adjacent to the Yili River. If you don’t take this city, the big cannibals can only take more land instead of river roads to transport money, grain and weapons, which is of great significance.

"Is this true? Could it be the fake news released by Bingbo Silin?" After being happy, An Wanli was a little suspicious.

Two years ago, Jieshan City has been surrounded in August of the 14th year of Tianbao. It has been nineteen months, more than one and a half years. Jieshan City is not a big city, far less than the Thunder Ye City; the soldiers in the city are far less than those in the Luzhou City; Lao Niu, the chief general in the city, does not have a reputation for fighting, can he stay in Jieshan City for so long?

"This news was something we accidentally heard from He Pu in the dark in the rebel army, and He Pu listened to the generals of the Great Food. No one could go to the surroundings of Jieshan City in person. It might be fake.

But if this is fake, what is the use of the cannibal to release this fake news?" Feng Nuo suddenly asked back.

"Teel us to rush to release the siege of Jieshan City as soon as possible?" Su Shi said tentatively.

"Can the Protectorate be so reckless? I'm afraid the big cannibals wouldn't think so." Feng Nuo shook his head.

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it. It seems that this news is true?" Eugene said in a questioning tone.

"I don't know." Feng Nuo said again: "I can't explain clearly."

"Send someone to contact Jieshan City again." An Wanli said gritting his teeth.

"Can it work?" Wang Da couldn't help but ask. The Protectorate's Mansion has sent envoys to Jieshan City for many times. Every time he goes, he has never returned, and the carrier pigeon has not come back. Even if he is sent again, the possibility of sending back the news is extremely slim.

"I can only try it. This matter is of great importance. At the latest, the army will report to the guru on the day when he arrives here; at least it will take a try once to report it." An Wanli said. He didn't want his subordinates to die in vain, but there was no other way.

"I won't talk about this anymore," there was no use to continue the discussion. An Wanli stopped everyone and asked again: "But there are other things?"

"There are two more things. Secondly, there is news about Saiye City: the great cannibals recruited young and strong men in Saiye Town, except Saiye City, and served as soldiers of the traitor army. And according to He Pu, many of the traitor army were to be transferred to the valley entrance to fight our army."

"Mad, damn Bingbo Silin!" Wang cursed.

"He deserves to die! Why didn't a lightning bolt fall from the sky and kill him!" the others also cursed.

"So cruel, so cruel! It's a good plan to let the compatriots kill each other!" An Wanli also sneered, feeling extremely hatred in his heart.

"How to recruit young and strong people from Ruiye Town outside Ruiye City, not from Ruiye City?" After calming down, An Wanli found a little doubt and asked again.

"Where are there people in Shuye City? At that time, the city was slaughtered by the Great Food soldiers, and six or seven out of ten were killed or injured. Another 10% fled to Yuluzhou, and there were not many people in the city. Shuye City was then used by the Great Foods as the capital of the northwest of the Tianshan Mountains, so it was not easy to recruit the remaining young and strong men into the army."

"How many people do the Dashi Army recruit?"

"I plan to recruit 5,000 people, and the current 3,000 people are 8,000. Of them, about 1,000 people are stationed in Saiye City, and a thousand people are stationed in the small town on the way from Saiye City to Yuluzhou. A thousand people are transferred to Shiguo and other foreign countries in the west, and 5,000 people are at the mouth of the valley."

"Recruiting so many people?" An Wanli was very surprised. He thought that it would be better to recruit another two thousand and gather 5,000. Why would he recruit so many people? Moreover, "Will there be many Han and Turkic people applying for the recruitment?"

"There are not many Han people who were conscripted, but there are many Turkic people. The Great Cannibal had not slaughtered a large number of cities outside the Suiye City. The locals did not have a bad view of the Great Cannibal; the Great Cannibal gave a lot of food and salary. Due to the severance of trade routes, many caravan guards who had cut off their livelihoods entered the rebel army.

Moreover, the Great Cannibals also arrested people. They captured many Turkic tribes, some young and strong were incorporated into the Great Cannibals, and some were incorporated into the rebel army."

"So that's it." An Wanli actually breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to fight to death with the Han army. Now he knows that there are many Turks in the rebel army, and they are Turks who have not received education, and they are in a better mood.

"Don't general, be gentle on the soldiers of the rebel army." Wang Dadao: "Overy Han soldiers are just a stolen food. If they can't do evil, it's better to spare them. The captured tribe Turks can fight for the great cannibals, and they can fight for us, so they can kill fewer."

"Yes, don't be the ones. Except for the hard-core traitors such as He Pu, don't be too serious for others." Others also said.

"Is this the final word?" An Wanli looked at them angrily. "You think I am the Protector!"

"Aren't you please advise the Lord of the Lord?"

"Of course I will give advice to Dugu, but it will be hard to say whether Dugugu listens or not." After saying this, he was not in a hurry to draft the document and asked Feng Nuo again: "What is the third thing?"

"Third, the Great Food Army returned to the north to attack the Geluo tribe's army, and only captured a few hundred people, and the remaining Geluo people ran away. When the Great Food Army returned, many of the rebels saw it with their own eyes. This matter could not be false."

"This is a good thing." An Wanli smiled. Why did the Dashi Army attack the Geluo tribe? It was not to supplement the soldiers? There were few people they captured, and there were few auxiliary soldiers in the Dashi Army, which was of course a great thing.

"I didn't expect that Arslen and Bogore are still very capable and can persuade almost all tribes to move away together." He said again.

"If I had hoped that the more idle they were, the better, but at this time I hoped that they would be able to lead the tribe to hide far away, and never be discovered by the cannibals." Su Shi said with a smile.

"Yes, Als Leng must be smarter and more cautious, and run better and better."

"It would be great if they could come to Yuluzhou. There is a proverb from the Great Cannibal, saying that the enemy's enemy is friends. Now our Anxi and Gelulu are enemies of the Great Cannibal, and they can join forces. Dunpiga, who betrayed the Tang Dynasty, was dead, and the Protector also had steps to go down."

"No, no. Geluo bears the master twice, how can they know that they will not bear the master again? They cannot unite with Geluo people unless they are willing to rush forward to become suicide squads."

"I think so, the barbarians with two sides and three swords cannot be let go easily. And although Dunpiga is dead, his men who have killed our Tang Dynasty heavenly soldiers and still alive must kill all of them."

"Even if you don't join forces with the Geluo people, you can't start a war at this time. You have to be perfunctory. It's not too late to punish the Geluo people after you drive away the big cannibals."

"Since we have to be perfunctory, if the people of Geluo want money, food, and weapons, will we give it?"

"Weapons cannot be given! What if they rebel again? You can give some food appropriately, and you can also give money. Anyway, you can take back the money after the great cannibal is defeated."

"What this means! Give them money, they are just piggy banks, and they will have to pay it back sooner or later."

"Piggy bank? Haha!" Everyone was very interesting when they heard this metaphor and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing." An Wanli also smiled for a while and said seriously: "Since that's the case, if the people of Geluo want to surrender to our army again, they can give them money and food, so that they can continue to restrain some big food soldiers; nothing else can be given."

“That’s it.”

"Okay," An Wanli looked at Feng Nuo and asked him to draft a document on this matter first.

But before he could finish his words, a guard suddenly hurried into the tent and saluted: "No general, there is a man who calls himself a messenger of Geluo and asks to see another general."
