The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 99

Long'er followed behind Xuan Shijing, while Gao Jun went to rearrange the carriage.

"Young Lord, you can be considered to be back." Seeing Xuan Shijing come back with all his beard and tail, Long'er finally let go of more than half of her heart.

"It's not necessarily safe to come back. I noticed from the front that this night attack does not seem to be easy. Now think about it, if it is really coming to attack the camp at night, how could they send a large number of cavalry over with such great fanfare and without cover. "Xuan Shijing said with a serious face.

"Then what is the young master thinking?" Long'er looked at the pensive Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Brother Chu Mo, what you are facing may be the vanguard of the Tubo army." Xuan Shijing said: "So, the only way now is to retreat to the stone city and guard the stone city. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big now. Continuing to stay in the wild, with no food supplies, no hope of winning at all." Xuan Shijing can be sure of this, since ancient times to the present, the most important thing in wars is supplies, and it is nothing more than consuming each other. Whoever can't bear it loses.

The soldiers who can follow Cheng Chumo to be stationed in such a harsh environment are of good quality. Within two minutes of the order, all the items in the camp have been packed up, in order, and there is no panic at all. The management in the previous camp has been secure. He commanded the auxiliary soldiers to pull into the chariot and set off for Shicheng.

Since Cheng Chumo handed over the big camp to Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing will do his best to preserve it, and following the starting camp, Xuan Shijing and Long'er rode horses and Gao Jun drove a carriage, walking at the front of the team , Once encountering a situation, it is also good to respond quickly.

All the way to Shicheng without any danger, there were a few clusters of flames faintly flashing on the city wall, which were used by soldiers on duty to light and patrol. The night in the desert was extraordinarily quiet. The movement on the city wall has long been seen by the soldiers on the city wall.

Seeing Xuan Shijing and others stopped in front of the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city poked their heads out and shouted: "Who is here!"

"We are the subordinates of General Cheng Mo who are stationed outside Shicheng. The Tubo army is attacking ahead. General Cheng ordered me to retreat to Shicheng." Xuan Shijing said.

"Nonsense, we have seen most of General Cheng's subordinates, but you have a tense face." A man dressed as a school lieutenant next to him carefully looked at Xuan Shijing's face to confirm that he had not seen him in Cheng Chumo's camp .

"I'm Marquis Xuanwei, I have General Cheng's seal here, just put down the hanging basket." Xuan Shijing shouted.

The two or three soldiers guarding the city muttered together with the captain for a while, the captain nodded, and someone next to him lowered the hanging basket.

Xuan Shijing rode forward, took out Cheng Chumo's seal from his bosom, put it in the hanging basket, and the hanging basket went up the city wall, the captain took out the seal in the hanging basket and looked at it, it was indeed Cheng Chumo's print, and then He asked again: "Is there any officer from General Cheng's camp in the team?"

The steward from the previous battalion stepped forward: "General Cheng's lieutenant Zhao Ying is here, Brother He still recognizes me."

Xuan Shijing looked at Zhao Ying who came to her side on horseback, and secretly wrote down his name.

"It turns out to be brother Zhao Xian, wait a moment, I will immediately order the people below to open the city gate." After repeated confirmation, the captain guarding the city ordered the soldiers below the city gate to open the city gate.

Xuan Shijing and Zhao Ying walked in front, Long'er and Gao Jun were behind them, followed by a large team of auxiliary soldiers, flanked by infantry guarding the auxiliary soldiers.

"Subordinate He Zhengyang pays homage to Lord Xuanwei."

The person saluting Xuan Shijing in front of him is the captain who was on the city wall just now. Since this is really Cheng Chumo's subordinate, it must be true if the person in front of him says that he is Xuanweihou. But he didn't expect that there was such a young Lord Hou in Datang, and he was a little surprised.

If He Zhengyang knew that Xuan Shijing was sealed at birth, I don't know how he would feel.

"Lieutenant He doesn't need to be too polite, Shijing still has something to ask for the enemy." Xuan Shijing hurriedly helped He Zhengyang up.

"Your Majesty will do as you have ordered, and I will never hesitate to die." He Zhengyang said seriously, Xuan Shijing had no official position in the army, so He Zhengyang only claimed to be a subordinate, not a subordinate.

"General Cheng Chumo fought against the Tubo army in front, just to buy some time for the camp. Now that the camp has entered Shicheng, I want Captain He to send some men to Shijing to meet General Cheng." Xuan Shijing said that when he left, Xuan Shijing noticed that the Tibetans were fighting more and more. Although the increase in the number was invisible to the naked eye, Cheng Chumo, who had been fighting with the Tibetans for a while, had already keenly felt it. .

Although I don't want to see the tragic appearance of the battlefield again, but for Cheng Chumo, Xuan Shijing has no second choice, Gao Jun is not safe enough, and Long'er is an ordinary girl with no experience at all, let her go to the battlefield, Xuan Shijing couldn't do it, so only Xuan Shijing and Zhao Ying or He Zhengyang brought people to meet him.

He Zhengyang thought for a while, looked at Zhao Ying, but couldn't make up his mind for a while, although Xuan Shijing was a lord, but this was the frontline battlefield, let alone a lord, even if the lord came, he would have no right to speak.

Zhao Ying, who was standing by the side, couldn't help worrying about his general's safety when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Brother He, there is no need to be embarrassed. Now that the team has entered Shicheng, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Brother He only needs to arrange the camp for the younger brother." The auxiliary soldiers are, and there are more than a hundred people in the battalion, and we will follow Lord Hou to meet General Cheng."

"Zhao Xiandi's subordinates are all infantry, how to go to meet them, how about this, I will send a hundred cavalry to the young master, Zhao Xiandi's [-] infantry will stay in my camp to fill up, in case the superiors come to patrol the camp. "He Zhengyang said.

The administrative power of Shicheng is not in the hands of these military forces. It belongs to the Beiting Dufu. In order to improve the control of the entire northwest border, the Beiting Jiedu of Tingzhou sent a sheriff to each city. Stationed in these towns, inspecting the four directions, collecting information, and sending it to the Protectorate of Tingzhou, He Zhengyang did this only to deal with his superiors.

Xuan Shijing said: "In this case, then Shijing thanked Captain He here, please don't close the gate of the city, if General Cheng breaks out, the Tubo people will bite in the back, and General Cheng The troops can also quickly enter the city."

"Yes." He Zhengyang nodded: "Understood, Lord Hou, be careful."

Xuan Shijing turned around and told Long'er and Gao Jun: "The two of you are in the city, please help dispatch the auxiliary soldiers. We are stationed in Shicheng, and we don't know how long we will stay. The supplies must be settled. This is the next step." Come down to the capital for us to settle down."
