The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 108
The days in Shicheng for the past two days are boring. Apart from transferring to the barracks every day, Xuan Shijing can only stay in the study of the county guard’s house with the cheek. The only advantage is that he doesn’t have to get up so early every morning. Shicheng For Xuan Shijing, the cold weather in the morning was simply a spell to seal him in the quilt.

It was three poles high in the sun, and the air outside was no longer terribly cold, so Xuan Shijing got out of the quilt, put on the soft armor, and went out of the tent.

Three days had passed since the battle that morning, and the Tubo people outside the city didn't know what happened, and there was no movement. Now, the scouts sent out by Cheng Chumo came in from the gate of Shicheng to report the news openly.

When he came to the barracks, Xuan Shijing wandered around, and first went to the wounded soldiers to check their injuries. There is no anti-inflammatory medicine these days, and if the wounds are not treated properly, they will die.

"Master Hou, why did you come here? Lieutenant Zhao is looking for you everywhere." Seeing Xuan Shijing approaching, the sergeant in the camp quickly stood up and said.

"Zhao Ying looking for me?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled.

"Lieutenant Zhao is looking for you. General Cheng is looking for you. It seems that there is something wrong." The soldier said.

Since it was Cheng Chumo who was looking for him, there must be something important, so he turned around with Long'er and left the wounded barracks, heading towards Cheng Chumo's tent.

"Brother Chu Mo." The soldiers guarding outside the camp did not stop Xuan Shijing, so Xuan Shijing walked in directly.

"Shijing, come." Cheng Chumo's face was full of joy: "Gao Jun is really a fucking talent. Yesterday the scouts just found the grain road of Tubo. Gao Jun took someone to set a fire this morning. This kid doesn't work in the desert. Bandits are really a waste of talent."

what this said
"How did the scouts get in touch with Gao Jun?" Xuan Shijing asked, since our own scouts can find Gao Jun's traces, does that mean that the Tubo scouts can also find Gao Jun's traces, and the Tubo grain transportation team cannot be so hasty So much so that Gao Jun could burn their food with 200 people.

"Our Datang Army has a unique contact code, and those under Gao Jun know it, so we got in touch. However, Gao Jun suffered a lot of losses in this battle. I heard that only a dozen people escaped in the end." Having said that, Cheng Chumo's face darkened, he sniffed, and then said: "Although this battle is considered a great victory, after thinking about it carefully, Gao Jun's actions were indeed a bit reckless, but this kid has courage, Shijing, let me How about Gao Jun coming to our army? With his ability, it is very simple to make a career in the army." Gao Jun just relying on this battle is enough to win the position of general.

Xuan Shijing's attention was all on Cheng Chumo said that Gao Jun ran out of more than 200 people in this battle and only a dozen of them ran out. This time, it was indeed very dangerous, and almost wiped out the entire army. The rest of his brothers ran out, now that the overall situation is settled, it is time for Gao Jun to come back.

"Shijing?" Cheng Chumo called out, seeing that Xuan Shijing was still in a daze, he stepped forward to help him by the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Xuan Shijing came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about Gao Jun and those ten people."

Seeing Xuan Shijing's expression silently, Cheng Chu guessed that he must be worried about the safety of those dozens of people. He patted Xuan Shijing's shoulder and said, "I have already asked the scouts to notify them and quickly withdraw to Shicheng. Come down this time. The rest of the dozen or so people in the army are at least at the centurion level, and I will definitely not treat them badly."

Xuan Shijing smiled, with a deep meaning and a little irony.

The living rise to the top, and the dead bury themselves in the desert. This is the battlefield, and this is the fate of the soldiers. With their flesh and blood, they can keep the peace and tranquility of the Guanzhong land, and the Changan of the Tang Dynasty. The superficial peace and prosperity of Chang'an formed a strong contrast, and after this incident, Xuan Shijing would return to Chang'an, and return to the prosperity under that prosperous age.

Throwing these miscellaneous thoughts out of her mind, for Gao Jun's safety, Xuan Shijing always reminded herself that every step she takes next cannot be wrong.

Going around silently, Xuan Shijing walked to the map and looked at the map carefully. Although he had seen the map around Shicheng countless times, Xuan Shijing still carefully studied every inch of land.

"When did Gao Jun set fire to the food?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"In the middle of the night yesterday, the Tubo people also just received the news in the morning. The location of the attack is a long way from the Tubo camp, so it took a lot of time for the Tubo people to deliver the letter to the camp." Cheng Chumo Said: "Gao Jun's hands are all in the hands of the Tubo people who transport the food."

"Presumably now that the Tubo people have lost this batch of food, they will not have the intention to besiege Gao Jun. Next, their eyes will fall on Shicheng, and they will definitely think about a battle." Xuan Shijing said.

Cheng Chumo nodded: "Yes, the food is gone, and the Tubo people will definitely fight with their backs. If they can't fight, they have to withdraw their troops. After all, the supply of 2 people is not a small amount, especially in the territory of Longxi in the Tang Dynasty. After defeating Shicheng, they will be able to rely on the supplies from our army in Shicheng to persist for a few more days to plunder Boxian Town and Khotan Town to the west." Speaking of Khotan Town, Cheng Chumo glanced at Xuan Shijing .

Xuan Shijing's heart skipped a beat, and he punched the map with a firm gaze: "I will definitely defend it."

It's easy to say, but this is the last battle between the Tubo army outside the city and the Tang army in Shicheng. It is different from the past. This battle is also related to the fate of three or four towns under the Kunlun Mountains in Longxi. The last time the scheme was used on the Tubo people , this time it won't be effective, after all, a person will not fall twice on the same pit, and the enemy of Tubo will be in this position today, and he must be a ruthless person.The burden on Cheng Chumo's shoulders is very heavy.

"2 people" Cheng Chumo said in a low voice, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking: "It's been four days here in Shicheng, and I think Tingzhou has heard some news."

"Don't count on them. It's too late. Besides, Tingzhou's military strength is still intimidating on the grasslands. Now the border of Tang and Hanzhou is facing the Tubo army. There are still [-] Tubo troops in Shicheng. It is not yet known whether there are Tubo people in other places. When the dozen or so tribes on the prairie were in trouble, the border of the Tang Dynasty really became lively." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"The group of grandchildren on the grassland have long been scared of being beaten by the Duke of Wei and the Duke of England. Even if something happens, it's just a case of ringworm." Cheng Chumo said.

"Be prepared, after all, a single spark can start a prairie fire." Xuan Shijing said: "What we need to do now is to let Gao Jun go back to Shicheng to rest and prepare for the next big battle."

"Well, before the Tubo people attack the city, I will let the soldiers in the camp take a good rest." Cheng Chumo said.

"No, now is not the time to rest. Once the soldiers relax, it will be dangerous. Hurry up and practice. It will only take two days." Xuan Shijing stopped Cheng Chumo.

I know that Cheng Chumo feels sorry for the soldiers who have worked hard these two days, but after these two days, everything will be fine. If you can't make it through, I'm afraid the rest of the time in the future will be a rest time
