Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2422 Intention
After the Tubo soldiers and horses fled, Zhang Erhei and Du Wen returned to Longcheng.

At this time, there were corpses everywhere on the tower of Longcheng, blood was sprayed everywhere, and the smell of blood was very strong.

Du Wen didn't have many soldiers left. He was just a scholar, but now his body was covered in blood, and he was also injured, but his expression was calm.

"It's thanks to General Zhang who arrived in time, otherwise the people of Dragon City would have suffered."

This thank you is very sincere, because if it weren't for Zhang Erhei and the others, this Dragon City would really have been breached.

Looking at the scholar in front of him, Zhang Erhei couldn't help admiring him. He felt that this Du Wen was much better than that Xu Jian.

They are also county magistrates, this Du Wen was able to defend Longcheng to the death, and fight to the death with Tubo soldiers and horses, but that Xu Jian, he became a coward and even abandoned the city and fled.

However, when thinking like this, he suddenly thought of what Xu Jian said when he met Xu Jian. He said that Dragon City would be very dangerous. If it wasn't for Xu Jian's words, Dragon City might not be able to defend it. live?

Both of them seem to be better than they imagined.

"Master Du was able to defend Longcheng. It is really shocking and unexpected. You are the hero of this battle. I will tell General Zhang when the battle is over."

General Zhang in Zhang Erhei's mouth was about Zhang Shouming. After telling Zhang Shouming, he would naturally report to the court.

The two hugged each other like this, and then returned to the county office.

The county government office is not very big, but Zhang Erhei doesn't mind, after all, he knows the situation in the border town very well, even the General's Mansion in Songzhou City is not easy to go there.

After the two sat down, they ordered someone to prepare some food and drink. Everyone was very hungry after fighting for a whole day, so after the food and drink were served, they ate first. Zhang Erhei was a soldier, so he had no scruples when eating. He looked up and looked at the food. When I went to Du Wen to eat, I also ate meat and drank heavily, and I suddenly developed a good impression of him in my heart.

"Lord Du, we have repulsed the Tubo soldiers, but they still have more than 3 soldiers. They should not be underestimated. It is best to send someone to keep an eye on them."

After the meal was almost finished, Zhang Erhei said something, and Du Wen took a sip of wine and said, "General Zhang is right, send someone to watch them, and then see what they are doing."

Du Wen sent the spies out.

At night, snowflakes suddenly fell in Longcheng.

At first the snow wasn't very heavy, but in the second half of the night, it seemed to fall, and soon covered the entire Dragon City in white.

And at this time, one of the spies sent by Du Wen came back and sent news about Tubo.

"My lord, those Tubo soldiers and horses did not leave, but stationed in the barracks."

Hearing this news, Du Wen frowned slightly. In his opinion, even if Tubo has the upper hand in soldiers and horses, it is basically impossible to capture Dragon City. In this way, they have nothing to spend here. significance.

They should have left, but why did they continue to stay?

Could it be that they are not reconciled and want to continue attacking Dragon City after taking a rest?

Du Wen thought for a moment and ordered: "Okay, I see, you continue to monitor Tubo's movements, and report as soon as you have news."

"Here!"
-
The situation in Dragon City soon spread to Songzhou City.

When the news reached Songzhou City, Xu Jian arrived at Songzhou City with a thousand soldiers.

Zhang Shouming already knew about Xu Jian's abandonment of the city.

But for Xu Jian's behavior of abandoning the city, although he felt that he had lost his integrity, he didn't know how to scold him.

Although people abandoned the city, it did not cause too serious consequences. The people had all migrated away, and Tubo got nothing. Except for losing a city, he was not at fault. On the contrary, he saved more than 1000 soldiers horse.

Therefore, after Xu Jian arrived here, Zhang Shouming didn't say anything, but just let him stay in Songzhou City. As for how to deal with him, we had to wait for the court's decision.

After receiving the situation in Longcheng, Zhang Shouming called a group of Songzhou generals, and Xu Jian was also called when he was staying in Songzhou City.

After these people arrived, Zhang Shouming told them about the situation.

"The Tubo soldiers attacked Longcheng. Fortunately, Erhei arrived in time, defended Longcheng, and repelled the Tubo soldiers. However, the Tubo soldiers did not intend to leave, but continued to station outside Longcheng. I find it very strange that I called you here today just to hear your opinions, what do you think is the intention of Tubo to continue stationing outside the city?"

Hearing that Dragon City was defended, Xu Jian felt relieved, which shows that Zhang Erhei listened to his advice.

And if Dragon City is kept, then the people of Dragon City can also be regarded as being saved.

However, he also found it a little strange to hear that Tubo did not retreat. The purpose of Tubo's attack on the border town was to plunder materials to tide them over.

But with Zhang Erhei's [-] soldiers and horses, it is basically impossible for Tubo to capture Longcheng.

The goal can't be achieved, and continuing to consume will only increase the danger. That Kuratani doesn't look like an idiot, why would he do such a thing?
At this time, the others looked at each other and started talking.

"General, does that Tubo general feel that he still has hope? I think he is thinking about it for nothing. With General Erhei around, he wants to break through Dragon City, so don't even think about it."

"That's right, that's right, he thinks he can still capture Dragon City, that's just his wish, if he wants to stay, let him stay, let's see who can beat the other, how long can they last alone? "

"That's right, that's right, those people in Tubo are really ridiculous, so ridiculous."

"........."

The crowd kept talking, they basically thought so, but Xu Jian frowned slightly, thinking that the matter could not be so simple, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "General, I'm afraid This matter is different.”

Xu Jian opened his mouth, but everyone else showed a little disdain. A person who abandoned the city has the face to stand here. How big is his heart?
Zhang Shouming's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Oh, what do you think is going on?"

Maybe others thought that Xu Jian was a coward for abandoning the city and fleeing, but Zhang Shouming knew that if Xu Jian hadn't advised Zhang Erhei to go to Dragon City, Dragon City would have fallen too.

This shows that this Xu Jian has some skills, and he really wants to hear about it.

Zhang Shouming asked, but the others showed some disdain, and said, "General, he can know what's going on. He's just a man who abandoned the city. I've never seen anyone like him in Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, that's right, the general doesn't need to ask him, what does he know?"
