Chapter 39: The Aspiration of a Fierce General

Seeing Yang Xin rescued Ma Jirong and Tian Hao, the Tang army's mobile forces increased greatly, and the connection between the vehicle formation and Beiluntai City was also unobstructed, which was considered a game to be restored. On the other hand, Satuk shrank the front line, and the soldiers on Beiluntai City cheered, as if victory was about to come.

Holland staggered back to the tent. The injury on his shoulder was not serious. After a little treatment, the bleeding had stopped. After entering the tent, he asked why he had withdrawn his troops, "I...I...I...I may not have lost!"

"What I want is not necessarily losing!" Satuk's tone was like pig iron: "What I want is to win! Win all! The gun that emerged from the Tangren was indeed beyond my expectations. I didn't expect that Zhang Mai actually hid such a chess, but don't worry! You will be useful soon!"

Someone rushed into the army to the east, and was the messenger of the Khitan!

"Please!"

The one who entered was a Khitan young man of about twenty years old, with a national face, two small beards, thick eyebrows, long eyes, and a straight nose. After entering, he reported to his house, but Yelu Wuyu, the nephew of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and the Chinese name Yelu Ruan was also the one who was named Yelu Ruan.

Satuk was very familiar with the situation of his natural enemy, the Tiance Army. He could not have enough information about the Khitan that had been separated by a layer. Although he had been desperately trying to make up for it for the past year, he could not be as good as the Tang army of Tiance. After hearing Yelu Ruan claim to be Yelu Deguang's nephew, he did not know that his father was Yelu Be who was forced to leave the Han area by Yelu Deguang! Although Yelu Be had been forced to leave the country, many of his relatives remained in the Khitan. It can be imagined that Yelu Ruan had a difficult life under Yelu Deguang's tent, and now he is in charge of Yelu Cha's position. But in front of Satuk, he was not ready to disclose this information when he first met him.

"It turns out to be the Khitan royal family!" Satuk said with a passion like spring breeze on his face: "Little Khan received help from the Khitan power with nine deaths. After placing Beiluntai City this time, he will definitely offer all Beiting to His Majesty the Khitan Emperor. All our Uighurs will be retreated into Yili, Shattered Leaf, and will be a Khitan vassal forever."

"There is no need to say this now," Yelu Ruan said coldly: "Bei Luntai City has not been defeated yet, and Zhang Mai will come back at any time. If that is the time, how can you and I come to this situation? Uncle Chachu heard that you have not been able to succeed for a long time, so I asked me to ask you, what are you going to do now?"

Holland never spoke in front of the guest outside. Ge Lan stood up and wanted to answer. Satuk stopped with his eyes and said, "Please rest assured General Yelu, I have my own plans here and will definitely implement it according to the original plan."

"Don't worry? I'm afraid it's hard to rest!" Yelu Ruan said: "The enemy general Murong Chunhua heard that Beiluntai City was in danger, and left Liu Heihu to defend the northeast and led 4,000 cavalry to help. This was originally in our calculation. We were ambushed on the road with nine thousand troops, and two thousand of them were the elite clutches of our Khitan elite. However, although he won a small victory in the ambush, he actually failed to defeat him! He retreated into a nearby empty fort! Although our army besieged it and the other party failed to break through, we could not succeed. The Tang army was so tenacious, and this battle was beyond our expectations!"

Satuk said: "So how about General Chache?"

Yelu Ruan said: "It may be a mistake for us to decide to help you in the west. However, the situation has progressed so far, so we cannot withstand back down! No matter what, no matter how much you pay, we will definitely win this battle! Otherwise, if there are any consequences, you will know in your heart!"

Holland became furious and shouted, "Are you threatening... threatening?"

Yelu Ruan said coldly: "This is not a threat, this is the truth!"

Satuk looked at the young man with a squint eyes and said, "Don't worry, although Zhang Mai's subordinates are cunning, their every move is already in my material. I was just a little surprised just now, but soon they will reveal their fatal vitals. At that time, not only will we remove the fangs of the Tang people, but we can solve Murong Chunhua, who cannot be defeated by the army!"

Yelu Ruan was skeptical, but when she looked at Satuk, she felt that he was not bluffing. This Western Region's hero was full of confidence from his eyes to expressions.

Guo Shiyong Li Bin saw Yang Xin rescued Ma Jirong's troops and went out of the city in person. He met Ma Jirong, Tian Hao, Yang Xin and others outside the city. He praised Xu Congshi's archery skills as magical. Guo Wei handed the car formation to Xi Weinan and came to meet him.

Everyone gathered together, Tian Hao said, "Mr. Murong will be forced to a critical moment, and the situation will inevitably be dangerous. Now our morale is as strong as a rainbow. It is better to act in one go and take the opportunity to defeat the enemy. If Deputy Governor Murong and his men and horses are also brought over, the Uighurs and Khitan will not be able to do anything to us at that time."

Li Bin said, "What I mean is to be safe. It's better to wait until the marshal returns and we will attack the Uighurs again. Once the Uighurs retreat, the Khitan will not be able to live for a long time."

Tian Hao said: "How can that be done! This time the Uighurs beat us so hard. After killing so many of our brothers, how can we let them go back easily! We cannot shrink too much. This battle is not a matter of self-protection, but we must wipe out the Uighurs here!"

Although Li Bin's official rank is higher than Tian Hao's, he made many mistakes because of his persistence. At this time, he was not confident in his persistence.

Guo Shiyong asked Guo Wei: "What does General Guo think?"

Guo Wei said: "We must first protect and then discuss progress - our army must not lose. One is Beiluntai City. If Beiluntai City loses, it will undoubtedly block the main force of the Uighurs from going south. The other is that the Luntai intersection cannot be lost. Now the rear is weak. If the Uighurs rush through the intersection, even if Satuk only draws out ten thousand cavalry, it may damage my rear. Therefore, Beiluntai City should still be held. I should use the car formation to be located at the intersection of the southeast of the city, and each city and one formation should be a horn to be the Uighurs."

Tian Hao said: "Now both of these things have been completed, so I think we should send troops to attack and rescue the deputy governor! Judging from the signals sent by the deputy governor, the one who besieged him should be the Khitan. The Uighurs are memorable, but the Khitan is unpredictable. If we go too late, I am afraid that our Tiance army will lose a general. How can we face the return of the marshal at that time?"

When the congress was not decided, thick smoke came out from the east. Looking at the distance, it seemed that Murong Chunhua was besieged. The generals of the Tang army were a little nervous when they saw it. It was dusk and the smoke rose into the sky, but they could not see the exact situation with a thousand-mile mirror. Murong Qiuhua was very worried at the top of the city.

Ma Jirong said: "Can the Khitans attack the deputy governor with fire?"

Guo Shiyong was also worried about his old comrade-in-arms, so hesitated and asked Yang Xin: "Person Yang, you still have the power to fight!"

Yang Xin smiled and said, "I was going to save Deputy Governor Murong."

Guo Shiyong said: "Okay! If it's too late today, it will be late now. If you go there at night, you will be ambushed. Please go to the city for a night and take a rest for one night and take action tomorrow."

Yang Xin happily accepted the order, Tian Hao said: "There are still 600 cavalry left in our army. Please go there together. I will propose this proposal. Please let me be the deputy general of Yang Ziwei!"

Everyone was shocked. Tian Hao led the elite troops of the mansion as the General of the Central Army. Not only was he experienced, but his military rank was four levels higher than Yang Xin. Even if he wanted to go, he should be Yang Xin as his deputy. Unexpectedly, Tian Hao actually asked himself to be the deputy. That was obviously a skill to respect Yang Xin and was willing to avoid the wise. After being stunned, the generals understood and everyone admired him.

Xu Congshi was stunned at the local area, lowered his head and said to himself: "It is indeed not a lucky chance that the Tiance Army has been able to rampant in the Western Regions in the past few years! Not to mention the morale, morale, and combat power, even the general's mind cannot be found elsewhere."

Li Bin said: "General Tian's proposal is admirable, but if both horses go, if there is any mistake, our army will probably fall into a bigger dilemma again!"

At present, the Silver Spear Death Camp is regarded as the strongest field elite in Beiluntai City. If both Tian Hao's troops go to rescue Murong Chunhua and have an accident, the morale of the Tang army will not only be hit, but will also fall into a terrible situation where there is no field soldiers available.

Guo Shiyong also hesitated, and Guo Wei said: "This matter is indeed risky, but the enemy is too small and we are less powerful. The troops would rather gather together than disperse. Or they should not save the deputy governor. If they want to save, they must concentrate their efforts to save them. If they are afraid of mistakes, even half of the elite will not be able to do so!"

Ma Jirong glanced at Guo Wei and said, "What General Guo said is reasonable! I also think that if you either don't save me, you should be a lion and fight with your rabbit with all your strength!"

Guo Shiyong hesitated, looked at the two thick smoke rising from the west, clenched his fists and said, "Okay! Save people!"

That night, he returned to the city to rectify the battle. He used the Silver Spear Death Camp as the main force and Tian Hao's troops to extract hundreds of troops from Ma Jirong's subordinates, combined with three thousand people, Yang Xin as the main general, Tian Hao as the marching Sima, and Xu Congshi as the deputy general. He had no objection to such personnel arrangements, and these veterans in the west of the Lingxi were as broad as their chief general.

All three thousand people gave wine and meat, had a full meal, and let them rest on their own. Guo Shiyong said: "You should rest for yourself, even if the Uighurs attack tonight, you don't have to pay attention!"

Unexpectedly, the night was a bit surprising. On the second day, the rising sun rose. Yang Xin got up and wiped his silver spear. Xu Congshi walked closer and said, "Since the marshal saw the beacon fire on our side, he would definitely rush back at night as long as he was not stopped. One day later, the situation of the Uighurs would be three points dangerous. But Satuk has not taken action since yesterday's dusk. This movement is different. I'm afraid there will definitely be a trap here today!" He lowered his voice and said, "In fact, it's okay if we just spend money with the Uighurs like this, why bother to save Murong Chunhua? If you waste this way, even if Murong Chunhua in the east is in great danger, you will only lose one of him, which is better than destroying our small advantage."

Yang Xin said: "Before yesterday, we couldn't speak for the decisions of the army, and it was useless to just talk about it, but now it's different. Let's talk about Governor Yang set out to attack the river valley and was surrounded. Marshal Zhang rushed to reinforce and was so empty that the rear was empty. Is it a mistake?"

Xu Congshi said: "Since you ask me this, I believe you must have a suggestion in your heart."

Yang Xin said: "Although we come from the Central Plains, our families are all on the frontier. What is the most difficult thing for our Han family to deal with the Hulu in Mobei? I believe you should be very clear about it."

"The most difficult thing for the barbarians to deal with is naturally coming and going without a trace." Xu Congshi said: "I will seek a battle but they will not fight. If I relax a little, they will take the opportunity to break in. If I attack, they will escape to the border, making it difficult for us to pursue. If we want to pursue a large scale, we must send troops to search the desert grasslands. If we use troops for a short time, we will inevitably be useless. If the military affairs are protracted, the national treasury will be empty. If the national treasury is empty, internal troubles arise. The so-called Rongdi is easy to defeat and difficult to destroy - this is the most troublesome place to deal with the barbarians."

"Yes, it's easy to defeat but hard to destroy," Yang Xin said: "This is a difficult problem for our Han family to deal with the Hu people forever. From Li Mu to Huo Qubing, the reason why he can achieve great achievements is not to break the enemy, but to annihilate the enemy!"

Xu Congshi said: "You mean, was the marshal and the governor deliberately attacked this time?"

"We can't tell whether it was intentional or not, but now we do have a chance to fight the Uighurs in a decisive battle!" Yang Xin said: "I heard that the rear was already raising debts. If this battle was over without success, the Uighurs retreated into the west of the Ling and the Khitan retreated into the northern part of the desert. Indeed, the Uighurs were afraid that they would be hungry all over the world this winter, and the Khitan would also lose their prestige. But what about us? I'm afraid that within a few years, we will not have the strength to organize a large army like this one. The three sides are still suffering from the defeat, and the winner is the one who did not participate in this war."

Xu Congshi nodded, but he already understood what Yang Xin meant.

If the outcome of this time is really the Khitan retreating eastward and the Uighur retreating westward, the Tang army may not be able to continue to brave the cold and expedition to the west of the Lingxi River. Of course, it will be even more difficult to enter the northern desert. The Uighurs return without success, and the national strength will inevitably decline, and even the status of Satuk will shake. However, the extermination of the clan may not be as good as that. At that time, the Western Regions will likely continue to maintain the pre-war pattern. The only changes are the Khitan, Tiance, and Uighurs at the same time, and at the same time, the Later Tang will definitely take the opportunity to become bigger!

The rise and fall of the world's national power has a superposition effect. Once the Later Tang Dynasty gets the hope of the world, all kinds of talents and resources will gather in the Central Plains to further strengthen the advantages of Luoyang.

"My destruction is the strength of the enemy!" Yang Xin said: "The strong enemy of our Tiance Army is not just the Khitan and Uighurs!"

When Xu Congshi heard him say "I, Tiance Army", he suddenly felt a little irritated for some reason, but he also knew that what Yang Xin said was right.

Third-rate soldiers can only notice the battle in front of you. Second-rate generals understand the entire battle situation, while first-class geniuses can see the small things and look at the whole world in the war!

Although the Tiance regime is in a honeymoon period with the Later Tang regime, this friendship may not be able to continue forever. Both sides are allies in public and enemies in secret. As the supreme commander of the Tiance army, what Zhang Mai has to consider is not only the victory or defeat of the Beiting battle, but also the rise and fall of the political landscape!

If this battle is just repelling Huma from Mobei and Lingxi, resulting in a sharp reduction in the strength of the Tiance army and losing its advantage in the Later Tang Dynasty, then for Zhang Mai, this battle will be a defeat for victory!

Yang Xin said: "So I think the current situation, whether it is intentional or unintentional formation of the marshal, cannot miss the current opportunity! We should try to drag the Uighurs to death here. Even if we take a little risk, we must make them fall into a deep mud and unable to get out. Otherwise, if the Uighurs have enough room to advance and retreat, they will run away as soon as they see the marshal return to help, and that situation is still not enough to win a complete victory!"

Xu Congshi said: "So you are planning to cooperate with what you think is the general trend?"

"I think General Guo Wei should be interested in cooperation." Yang Xin said: "So I want to cooperate with General Guo!"

"But do you know what such a situation means to us!" Xu Congshi said: "For the marshal, we need to use partial adventures to win a complete victory, and for us, we are just gambled with our lives! For the marshal, he only lost part of his military power and several subordinates, but for us, if we are accidentally, our lives will be given away!"

"So what!" Yang Xin said with a sigh: "This time I have three thousand elite iron armored cavalry, and even if I rush into the 100,000 army, I will have the chance to fight back! I may not be able to escape unsuccessfully when I go to the border! Since the soldiers are going to the border, they will be prepared to wrap their bodies!" He patted Xu Congshi on the shoulder and said: "But if you still have plans to go home, I won't force you. I will help you find a reason to stay after you turn around."

At this time, Guo Shiyong had already sent an order to make Yang Xin prepare to set off. Xu Congshi stood by the city wall in a daze, thinking about the past, the tasks here, the encounters after entering Anlong, and the brotherly feelings with Yang Xin, and the hearts of staying and leaving.

However, Yang Xin had already gathered his troops, and Guo Shiyong gave him his spare Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said, "The road is beautiful on the road, so you can avoid ambushing." You can imagine the importance of it.

When they arrived near the city gate, all three thousand people gathered, and they were all ready to go to the trouble. Because they did not see Xu Congshi, Tian Hao asked, and Yang Xin was about to find a reason for Xu Congshi, so he listened to Xu Congshi: "I'll go picking feather arrows. If I'm late, I'll gather. Please forgive me!"

When Yang Xin saw him, he felt ecstatic. He and Xu Congshi were both alone and had the same secret. He traveled thousands of miles to support each other. His friendship was already like flesh and blood. Although he said that Xu Congshi would not force him, he still felt like he had a more force when he saw him. Yang and Xu looked at each other, and a look of their eyes contained a lot of messages.

When Xu Congshi approached, Yang Xin laughed in a low voice: "How did you change your mind?"

Xu Congshi smiled and said, "You have a strategy to determine the world, you will have a strategy to win, and a scholar has the ambition to die. This battle is very big. I'd better follow and get some credit."

The two of them spoke in a low voice, but then they burst into laughter. Others didn't know what they were laughing at, but they only smiled before the main and deputy generals came out of the battle, and each of them became more confident!

Yang Xin took out the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile that Guo Shiyong gave him and said, "This is for you, you can use it more appropriate than me."
Chapter completed!
