The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 101
Xuan Shijing's eyes fell on the place where Cheng Chumo pointed, and there were two large characters written on the map: Yangguan

Advise you to have a glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends. It is this Yangguan. Yangguan is located in the southwest corner of Shazhou. The three cities are important cities guarding the main roads of the Western Regions. These three cities reject the Turks in the north, reach Tubo in the south, the entire Longyou Road in the west, and pass through Liangzhou in the east, which is Guannei, which is also the real gateway of the Tang Dynasty.

The sheriff on the side looked at the map and nodded: "Yangguan is the first checkpoint in Ruguan. Naturally, he is seriously ill, and there are plains and deserts between Shicheng and Yangguan. If we send cavalry to rescue, the fastest It will arrive in five days."

"According to what Brother Chu Mo saw, from which direction did the Tubo army come?" Xuan Shijing still stared at the map. Those coming from the direction of West Kunlun, it is very likely that they entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty from the vicinity of Yangguan, because only the west of Yangguan, that is, the place near Shicheng, the mountains are gentler, and they can barely march.

When Xuan Shijing said this, Cheng Chumo thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "East! The Tubo people came from the east, that is to say, the road to Yangguan is also cut off."

Things suddenly became difficult. The two roads for help were blocked by the Tubo army. Even if you send troops to ask for help, whether you can break out of the enemy's encirclement is another matter. The lives of three to four thousand people in the city cannot be placed on the road of asking for help on the road.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it." Xuan Shijing's mind flashed, but he couldn't grasp the feeling at that moment, and tilted his head to think hard.

Cheng Chumo and the county guard next to each other looked at each other, and they both kept silent, looking at Xuan Shijing who was thinking hard.

What exactly is missing?Xuan Shijing just felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He picked up the map on the table and carefully looked around Shicheng and Yangguan.

"Brother Chumo, you said earlier that Duke Wei went to the battlefield to confront the Tubo army, where is the place where the two armies fought?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's near Hanzhou on Jiannan Road, look here." Cheng Chumo pointed to the map: "Tubo's capital Luoxie City is here, and Hanzhou is here. It meets the border with Tubo. The terrain is flat and easy for large troops to move. Moreover, it is the shortest road from their capital city, and the mission of their relatives traveled all the way from Jiannan Road to Chang'an."

"Do you know how many troops Tubo has deployed near Hanzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It is said to be 5, but in fact there are more than [-] people at most." Cheng Chumo said: "There are [-] troops here in Shicheng. What do these bastards in Tubo want to do?"

"I think they want to hold back the main road between the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty and Longyou to blackmail the Tang Dynasty. All eyes in the court are on the vicinity of Hanzhou, and they quietly sent troops to the Western Regions , Concealing the sky and crossing the sea, I didn't even get the news from Yangguan, but I made a big fanfare here in Shicheng. An army of 2 people can't defeat the fortress of Yangguan, but if I want to conquer Shicheng, and then use Shicheng as a stronghold to map the Western Regions, this It does work, but if you do it this way, the soldiers who lead the army look down on Datang, and it's too conceited." Xuan Shijing sneered, I'm afraid he can't eat it in Shicheng, but Hanzhou will Being beaten and disabled, after all, they were facing the military gods of Datang.

"In other words, they will definitely attack Shicheng." The sheriff said, "Then what should we do? Now there are only so few people in Shicheng, so how can we defend it?"

"I will definitely defend it." Cheng Chumo showed a firm light seriously: "As long as you try your best to defend Shicheng, even if you don't need to rescue elsewhere, once the Duke of Wei in Hanzhou defeats Tubo, they will definitely return to the army. Solved."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "The most important thing right now is to defend Shicheng. In addition, when I came, I saw that the people in Boxian Town had already fled, so the people from Boxian Town in Boxian Town went to hollow out. Send the manpower over there to Shicheng, anyway, an empty town is of no use to the Tubo people."

"Report~~~" A soldier ran to the door of the study, bowed his fists and reported: "General Qi, the Tubo army has arrived three miles outside the city, and there are more than [-] people by visual inspection. I don't know if they will attack the city tonight. How to deal with it, please tell the general."

"Close the city gates and strengthen the patrol on the city walls. The soldiers in the battalion will not be able to take off their armor tonight, and prepare for battle at any time!" Cheng Chumo ordered.

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." The sheriff sighed, "Now, Boxian town is over."

"It's not necessarily true, how many people are guarding Boxian Town now?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are more than two hundred people, but they are all cavalry. This team will not be stationed in a certain town. They will patrol various towns in the Western Regions to ensure the safety of the town." The sheriff said.

"They're all cavalry, so it's easy to handle. Give me a token, and I'll send someone to spread the message. Now we don't have to stick to it. We should seize the opportunity and mess with him." Xuan Shijing smiled sinisterly.

Cheng Chumo was taken aback by Xuan Shijing's smile. A team of 3000 people was trapped in the stone city. What would be the use of the [-] cavalry in Boxian Town? Thinking this way in his heart, he naturally asked this question come out.

"The two hundred cavalry from Boxian Town have been patrolling various towns in Longyou all year round. They are very familiar with the terrain. They don't need to confront the Tubo people head-on. They only need to disturb them occasionally." Xuan Shijing said.

Over the past ten years, staying with Yuan Shoucheng, I have read a lot of books, especially things like military books. Naturally, there will be no such books in West Kunlun. The ones from Chang’an were brought back, and the ones that were read were transported back. Those who went to and from Khotan Town not only included books, but also some things that Xuan Shijing collected that could be sold at a good price in Chang’an, plus the snow lotus collected from Tianshan Mountain, After the concoction was finished, they were all transported back to Chang'an together. The snow lotus was used to treat Empress Changsun's illness, and those things were ordered to be transported back and handed over to Qiandui for disposal.

Thinking of some things written in the military books, Xuan Shijing smiled, the Tibetans may not have read as many military books as he did.
"Zhao Ying." Xuan Shijing called out.

"The end will be here." Zhao Ying replied.

"Go and find the man among the two people accompanying me." Xuan Shijing asked Zhao Ying to find Gao Jun. For this kind of thing, it is most appropriate for Gao Jun to come. I read a lot by myself, but I have a lot of ghost ideas.

"Yes." Zhao Ying replied, turned around and left the study, and went to the camp to look for Gao Jun.

Heart-piercing, please recommend.
