The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

1034 One Night

Pang Mi's ambush circle is still some distance away from the junction, and this distance is just enough to wait for the scouts to send the news. By then, the Tuyuhun people should have already fallen into the trap.

In just a quarter of an hour, Xuan Shijing saw the flames at the foot of the mountain from the tower, and there was the faint sound of fighting.

It seems that the Minzhou army has exchanged fire with the Tuyuhun people.

"Come on!" Xuan Shijing shouted.

"Subordinates are here."

"All the scouts in the general are sent to the border, try to enter the territory of Tuyuhun as much as possible, pay attention to their own safety, and keep an eye on the reaction of Tuyuhun." Xuan Shijing said.

When a war broke out, it was impossible to rely solely on merchants to obtain information from the people. Once a war broke out, the people of Tuyuhun would also be wary of merchants from the Tang Dynasty.

Tuyuhun's vanguard suffered such setbacks in Minzhou, and it would be unreasonable for Tuyuhun not to respond.

Xuan Shijing returned to the tent, while Qin Bingyue was still arranging things in the tent.

Sitting on the humble desk, Xuan Shijing spread out the paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote a letter eloquently.

This letter was written to His Majesty Li Er. Tuyuhun is now a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in name, and if he secretly sent troops to invade Minzhou to fight the autumn wind, even if it is an official, there must be an explanation.

A letter with the same content, one is kept temporarily, and the other, Xuan Shijing carefully put it into the envelope.

Naturally, this letter was to be handed over to the senior officials of Tuyuhun, so as not to let them know that Xuan Shijing was going to impeach them, how could they make money from it to subsidize the government of Minzhou?
This is Xuan Shijing's conspiracy, Chi Guoguo's conspiracy, using this excuse to blackmail the royal family of Tuyuhun.

This letter also contained a few words from Xuan Shijing to the royal family of Tuyuhun. Naturally, it was a threat or something. This letter, after tonight, will be sent by Gao Yuan to the palace of Tuyuhun.

There were no serious envoys in the army in Minzhou, and Xuan Shijing didn't bother to take care of them in an official way, so he planned to let Gao Yuan quietly put the letter in Tuyuhun's palace.

It can be regarded as showing the strength of Dongshanhou to the royal family of Tuyuhun, telling them clearly that it is very easy for Dongshanhou of Tang Dynasty to win the first rank among millions of troops.

In the middle of the night, Xuan Shijing had been sitting in the camp tent waiting for the news from the front line. Although the barracks was not far from the avenue, under the background of his mood at the moment, Xuan Shijing felt that the distance between the two places was like a moat.

This is my first battle in Minzhou, and I must fight well, not only to improve the morale of the army, but also an important opportunity to boost the confidence of the people in Minzhou.

Tell the people of Minzhou that as long as this team is stationed in Minzhou, Tuyuhun will never dare to invade Minzhou in the future. The grain after the autumn harvest, except for the tax paid to the government, the rest will be safe and secure Just put it at home, so you don't have to worry about being snatched by people from Tuyuhun.

By the second watch, the scouts finally sent a clear message.

Great victory for the Minzhou Army!
After being surrounded by Pang Mi, the troops sent by Tuyuhun quickly gathered together to resist the Minzhou army's attack. After fighting back and forth for a long time, these Tuyuhun people finally lost to the well-equipped Minzhou army and suffered heavy casualties. , while the casualties of the Minzhou Army were surprisingly small.

Equipment is one thing, and the training results these days are also a little bit of the reason. Of course, the biggest reason is that [-] vs. [-] has an advantage in numbers.

"Master Hou, since the result has come out, Pang Mi, Gao Jun and others will naturally pack up and go back to the camp. Master Hou might as well go to rest first." Qin Bingyue persuaded.

Now Xuan Shijing is the backbone of the entire Minzhou, he can't fall down, look at the night outside, it's really getting late, if he doesn't get a good rest, it will affect the spirit of tomorrow.

"How can I sleep now." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Come on, prepare the horse."

"What is Hou Ye going to do?" Qin Bingyue couldn't figure out what Xuan Shijing was going out to do at this time.

"Bingyue, you stay in the camp for now, Benhou will go to the front line to see." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Hou can't." Qin Bingyue hastily stopped him.

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Don't worry, if you are worried about safety, you don't have to. There are 7000 to [-] people on the front line. Is it possible that you can't protect me? Bingyue, you should rest earlier, girl You can't stay up too late, and the front line is a battlefield, and there are corpses everywhere, so it's not suitable for you to go."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Shijing got up and left the tent.

Outside Xuan Shijing's tent, there are [-] lieutenant generals on duty. Just now, Xuan Shijing left one of them when he ordered the horses to be prepared. Therefore, there is only one lieutenant left outside Xuan Shijing's camp.

"Benhou will go out later, you and the other person don't have to be on duty tonight, go back and rest." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

After a while, the lieutenant general who left sent a horse, and Xuan Shijing got on the horse and ran towards the outside of the camp.

From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, a small road was opened up by the Minzhou army, allowing one person to ride on it. However, the speed of riding a horse slowed down, but it was still much faster than human legs, so the scouts on both sides passed the news. , That is, riding back and forth.

Riding the horse to the road at the foot of the mountain, Xuan Shijing saw the Minzhou army clearing the battlefield from afar.

After seeing Xuan Shijing, the surrounding Minzhou army saluted one after another.

"Master Hou!"

Xuan Shijing nodded towards the person who greeted him.

In the center of the battlefield, Pang Mi and Gao Jun, who were urging the soldiers to clean up, saw Xuan Shijing coming, and rushed to greet him.

"Master Hou, why did you come here in person?" Gao Jun greeted him and asked.

"Hearing the news about the scouts, I couldn't bear it, so I came over to take a look, I couldn't sleep." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Hearing Xuan Shijing's answer, Pang Mi and Gao Jun also smiled kindly. Indeed, this battle was fought beautifully.

"Are all the enemies here?" Xuan Shijing asked, "How about the casualties?"

"The casualties are yet to be counted. As for the Tuyuhun people, none of them escaped after being surrounded, but during the fierce battle, I don't know how many people escaped from the battlefield." Pang Mi said.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I have already asked Gao Yuan to take scouts to guard around the battlefield. This battle must not allow one person to escape back." Xuan Shijing said.

Pang Mi and Gao Jun looked at each other and nodded.

"Lord Hou, what about the captives of Tuyuhun?" Pang Mi asked.

This battle is over, but there are still many problems left after the war, for example, how to deal with these prisoners of war.

Among them, some were injured and survived, and some voluntarily surrendered at the end of the fight.
