There was a hustle and bustle at the banquet. Zhang Zong and Di Renjie hid on the side and chatted, but at this moment, an eunuch suddenly ran into the hall with a lacquer box in his hand, shouting while running: "Great victory! Great victory in the four towns of Anxi!"

"Boom~" The entire hall was immediately detonated by the word "great victory". Countless people stood up and looked eagerly at the paint box in the eunuch's hand.

As early as the news of the Tuyuhun victory was just returned, they were waiting for the news from the four towns of Anxi, but the four towns of Anxi were too far away and the message was very inconvenient. In addition, the news blocked in the early stage, so the court had never known the situation of the battle in the four towns of Anxi.

Li Zhi also stood up excitedly at this time. Li Hong quickly stepped forward and took the lacquer box with his own hands, and then sent it to Li Zhi. Then someone took the key and opened the lacquer box. Then Li Zhi grabbed the memorial in the box and read it carefully.

"Hahahaha~ Pei Xingjian really deserves to let my trust. This is a beautiful defence!" After Li Hong finished reading the good news, he laughed happily again. When the ministers in the hall heard this, they also stepped forward to congratulate Li Zhi.

Then Li Zhi handed the news to Li Hong and others to pass it on. Although Zhang Zong really wanted to go forward, he saw that there were too many people in the hall, and many of them were important officials in the court. Before they finished reading it, it was not the other people at all, so he simply did not go forward. Anyway, he would always see it later.

As the news of good news spread in the hall, more and more people fell into a feverish excitement. At this time, Li Zhi also began to discuss the battle situation of the four towns of Anxi with several important officials and the subsequent impact.

Listening to the conversation between Li Zhi and others, Zhang Zong also slowly learned some situations. According to the agreement before the war, Pei Xingjian actually sent troops at the same time as Xue Rengui, but compared with Xue Rengui, the army in the four towns of Anxi were not very smooth at the beginning, because they were actually leaked when they sent troops.

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and the power is complex. Moreover, Tubo has occupied the four towns of Anxi before, so he has a considerable influence there. Some of them secretly surrendered to Tubo and secretly collected information from the Tang Dynasty for them.

It was also under this situation that as soon as Pei Xingjian's army set out, they were immediately notified by the Tubo people secretly. As a result, Pei Xingjian's raid failed and the two sides could only launch a head-on decisive battle.

Fortunately, Pei Xingjian was old and made sufficient preparations for all situations before the war, so even if they fought head-on, they had the upper hand. Tubo could only passively defend, but it was very difficult for Pei Xingjian to defeat the Tubo army in a short period of time.

In this situation of stalemate, Pei Xingjian decided to take a dangerous move. He sent Wang Fangyi to lead a surprise soldier to sneak into the rear of the Tubo army and raided the food and supplies of the Tubo people, just like Lun Qinling used to deal with Xue Rengui's army.

However, raiding the enemy's rear requires great risks. After all, there are usually heavy troops in the rear. If you are not careful, the surprise soldier sent out may fall into death. Therefore, before Wang Fangyi and others sent troops, they also wrote the suicide note.

Fortunately, God stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Fangyi and the others successfully sneaked to the rear of the Tubo army, and then burned the Tubo people's food, grass and supplies in a fire. However, for this, they were surrounded by Tubo and almost wiped out the entire army.

The Tubo people were destroyed and the morale of the army was immediately shaken. At the same time, the army began to retreat slowly. Of course, Pei Xingjian would not miss such a good opportunity, so he began to entangle the Tubo army with all his might, but he did not fight the decisive battle with the other side. After all, the other side had no food and supplies, so it could not last long. Even if it was dragged, it could drag the other side to death. There was no need to waste the lives of the soldiers and fight the other side to the decisive battle.

It has to be said that Pei Xingjian's strategy was very successful. Although it took some time, Tubo was dragged to death by him. What's more coincidental is that after Xue Rengui defeated Lun Qinling, Lun Qinling could not resist it and sent people to ask for help from the Tubo army in the four towns of Anxi, because the general leading the army here was his brother.

After learning that Tuyuhun was also defeated by the Tang army, the already exhausted Tubo army almost collapsed without fighting. Many Tubo generals simply led their people away secretly. After all, Tubo is not like the Tang Dynasty. It is more like a tribal alliance. It is composed of tribes of all sizes. When fighting, the nobles of each tribe lead their own army to join the Tubo royal army. When facing adverse situations, these Tubo nobles will only consider their own interests.

Pei Xingjian immediately found the right time and launched a fierce attack in the early morning. The Tubo army had almost no resistance and began to flee in all directions. As a result, the Tang army surrounded these defeated Tubo troops into a valley like a duck, and finally set fire directly. No matter how the Tubo people were buried in the sea of ​​fire, the rest surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that Pei Xingjian fought very well in this battle. Although he spent a little more time, his own losses were very small. He almost successfully wiped out the Tubo army. Less than 20% of the total number of escaped Tubo people, and the remaining ones were either killed or surrendered, with more than 10,000 prisoners of war alone.

In terms of the results of the battle, Xue Rengui regained Tuyuhun for the Tang Dynasty, causing the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory again, while Pei Xingjian almost wiped out the Tubo people's Western Army, making their troops extremely empty. Unfortunately, Tubo occupied the benefits of the plateau, so it was difficult for the Tang army to attack, otherwise it might be possible to destroy Tubo in this battle.

Finally, the good news came to Zhang Zong's hands. He also looked at it roughly and found that there was no big difference from what he heard above. However, in Pei Xingjian's list of meritorious deeds, Zhang Zong saw a familiar name, that is, the Persian Li Fuguo, and he ranked second among the generals, only under Wang Fangyi.

"The Persian, Ni Nishima, can actually ask General Pei to ask for merit for him. You must know that General Pei is famous with a wise eye. All the people who can catch his Dharma eyes are outstanding Pei. Of course, Wang Fangyi can only become a famous general in the army with his recommendation!" Xue Shao also saw the name of Li Fuguo on the victory report, and immediately said in surprise. He really didn't expect that the General Pei would be famous in the army.
