Man Tanghong

Chapter 1007 The Sudden Crisis

Xue Wanche's back and buttocks are badly beaten now. Although he has been diagnosed and treated by a doctor in the army and given medicine, he will not heal in more than half a month, so it is not suitable for those who travel long distances to be stationed in Geshubu Zhao Chengyong still has to go to the place.

Zhao Chengyong was anxious when he heard this, "Your Highness, I don't care if there is any problem with Ge Shubu, but if something goes wrong with you, how will I give to the saints and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty when I go back? , Explain to the common people in the world?!"

Li Yuanji gave Zhao Chengyong a slight look and said, "So you want to disobey?"

Zhao Chengyong slowly puffed up his chest, and said seriously: "Excuse me, it's hard to obey!"

Before Li Yuanji could speak again, Zhao Chengyong said righteously: "Excuse me bluntly, even if the Geshu Department is controlled by the Ashide Department, even if it does something that is not good for my Tang Dynasty, it will be far away." Not as important as your safety."

Li Yuanji laughed angrily at Zhao Chengyong's words, "You think I can't live without you, don't you?"

Zhao Chengyong shook his head without hesitation and said: "Don't dare! But in the eyes of the minister, your safety is more important than anyone else!"

It's not easy for Li Yuanji to use this kind of thing to punish Zhao Chengyong, let alone send someone to escort Zhao Chengyong, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, if you don't go, I will go in person!"

Zhao Chengyong became anxious again when he heard this, "Now that the situation in Geshu's department is unknown, how can you go there in person? If you are in danger, you don't have to go back to Chang'an. Su Shuai and Li Shuai will kill them first!" "

Li Yuanji stared at Zhao Chengyong and said, "You don't want to go, and you don't let me go. Do you want me to watch Ge Shubu be manipulated and do many things that are not good for my Tang Dynasty?"

Zhao Chengyong hesitated and didn't speak.

Li Yuanji went on to say: "Although the Turkic people are the main force on the Beishan Grassland, there are also 2 soldiers from our Tang Dynasty. If Ge Shuhan cooperates with the young chief of the Ashide tribe to set up an ambush on the road they must pass, they will be trapped. , then wouldn’t it mean that we, the Tang Dynasty, would lose more than [-] soldiers in vain because of you and me?

If after returning to Chang'an, people's parents, wives and children ask me how their son died, how do you want me to tell them?

Tell them that I discovered the problem but didn't solve it, and that's why they killed their son. Then will they still think that I, Li Yuanji, is their Prince Yong? "

After Zhao Chengyong heard this, he couldn't be indifferent to the matter of Ge Shubu anymore, and after struggling for a while, he finally said with difficulty: "Okay, I will go, but I have one condition!"

Li Yuanji took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and snorted: "Say!"

Zhao Chengyong said in a deep voice: "I hope that Your Highness can call General Xue here to take over my position. With him guarding you, I can go to Geshu Department with peace of mind."

Li Yuanji snorted again, and said angrily: "Okay! Seeing that you are thinking of me, I will let Xue Wanche go for now! But after you return from Geshubu, he has to go and give me the money." Guard the city gate until you realize your mistake!"

Zhao Chengyong nodded solemnly and didn't say any more.

Li Yuanji continued: "Give you two thousand armored soldiers, are two thousand city guards enough?"

Zhao Chengyong said without any hesitation: "Two hundred soldiers are enough!"

The soldiers mentioned here are Yong Wangwei.

At present, in Baiyang City, there is only Yong Wangwei's armored team left, and the rest are all going out with Su Dingfang.

Therefore, if you want to send soldiers, you can only come from Yongwangwei.

"How can two hundred be enough?!"

Li Yuanji glared at Zhao Chengyong and said.

Right now, the only ones who can fight in Baiyang City are Yong Wangwei. Although there are a lot of city guards, they don't have much combat effectiveness.

Because the current city guards in Baiyang City are composed of some wounded soldiers and some old, weak, sick and disabled selected from the army by Su Dingfang.

It is impossible to expect them to deal with the soldiers and horses of Geshu's or Ast's tribes.

As for the 6000 Yong Wangwei, no matter how powerful the combat power is, they are not sure of winning against the [-] or even [-] Geshu troops, and they may be surrounded by others and wiped out.

Not everyone is Li Jing, nor is everyone Li Shimin, who can lead hundreds of soldiers and defeat thousands, or even tens of thousands of victories.

Li Jing led eight hundred soldiers and horses to defeat the barbarians. That was also taking advantage of the sneak attack, not fighting them head-on.

When Li Shimin defeated the enemy with a hundred cavalry, it was not really that only a hundred cavalry could be used, but with the assistance of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he used a hundred cavalry to attack the enemy.

Therefore, whether it is Li Jing or Li Shimin, they all took a surprise, and took a trick to defeat the enemy who had more troops than theirs.

However, when Zhao Chengyong went this time, he had to see the situation of the Geshu tribe clearly before he could attack the Geshu tribe. There was no possibility of tricks or sneak attacks, so it was almost impossible for the two hundred Yong Wangwei to defeat the Geshu tribe.

So it must be increased.

"At least fifteen thousand!"

"five hundred!"

"one thousand!"

"Eight hundred!"

"one thousand!"

"..."

After a quick bargain, Li Yuanji finally set the amount to one thousand, and did not give Zhao Chengyong any room to refuse, and directly asked the small school at the door to greet people.

When Zhao Chengyong wanted to greet Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao had already run away.

When Xiaoxiao appeared at the entrance of the side hall again, there were already three figures beside him.

One of them is Xue Wanche, and the other two are the school captains of Yong Wangwei.

Li Yuanji didn't give Zhao Chengyong another chance to speak, and directly explained the general task to the two captains, and asked the two captains to follow Zhao Chengyong.

Seeing that there was no room for turning things around, Zhao Chengyong could only acquiesce in this result.

But before he left, he grabbed Xue Wanche's arm and whispered a lot to Xue Wanche.

After Zhao Chengyong left, Xue Wanche licked his face and wanted to enter the side hall.

But Li Yuanji didn't let him in, but left him alone.

This iron man's old mistakes have not been solved yet, and he has caused new troubles. If he is not allowed to learn a lesson, he will become a husky raised in the big house of Datang.

If he is alone, it's okay, if he finds a corner to stuff him in, he won't have to make a fuss if he wants to.

But he is not alone, he has three very capable older brothers and one very capable younger brother.

No matter what corner you put him in, his elder brother and younger brothers will try their best to get him back.

Therefore, this husky cannot be stocked and must be restrained.

……

Time flies to the sixth day of February.

Zhao Chengyong led his people to travel long distances to the camp reported by Ge Shubu. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, Zhao Chengyong's heart went cold.

Because the camp of Geshubu was in a mess, as if it had been looted by someone, and there was no one in the camp, only a few lonely tents standing there.

"Go and have a look!"

Zhao Chengyong hurriedly ordered his scouts to go in and check.

Not long after, the scout rushed back with a solemn expression, and after arriving in front of Zhao Chengyong, he said in a deep voice, "General, you'd better go in and have a look yourself, the subordinates have already checked, there is no danger. "

Zhao Chengyong knew that the scout would not say such things for no reason, so he immediately rode into the camp, and then entered a tent under the guidance of the scout.

The moment he entered the tent, Zhao Chengyong was stunned.

What caught the eye was also a mess, but compared with the mess outside the camp, the mess in the tent was bloodier and more unsightly, because not only were the things in the tent messy, but a person had his limbs cut off and pulled out The internal organs were removed and placed on a blanket.

This man's blood was sprinkled everywhere, it can be seen that when he was cut open, he was still alive and struggling.

And Zhao Chengyong still knew this person.

It turned out to be Shuhan, the great chief of the Geshu tribe.

"This subordinate has seen the bloodstains, he has been dead for almost ten years..."

The scouts approached Zhao Chengyong to report.

A school lieutenant who was following Zhao Chengyong suddenly said: "A person who has been dead for almost ten years can still go to Baiyang City and deliver the battle report to Li Shuai's army?"

Zhao Chengyong's expression changed when he heard this, and he shouted: "Quick! Everyone follow me back to Baiyang City!"

After saying this, Zhao Chengyong quickly walked out of the tent.

The two captains who followed Zhao Chengyong were stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, their expressions changed, and they hurried out of the tent following Zhao Chengyong's footsteps.

"General, what happened?"

A team leader who came in from outside the camp saw Zhao Chengyong walking out of the tent with a solemn face, and hurried forward to ask.

Zhao Chengyong climbed on the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Ge Shuhan has been dead for ten years, but his army has been sending battle reports to Baiyang City and Li Shuai's army. What do you think this means?"

When the captain heard this, his face became serious, and he said in a blunt tone: "This means that someone has already obtained the news that His Highness is in Baiyang City from Ge Shuhan, and also obtained the location of Li Shuai." , and has already grasped the movements of His Highness and Li Shuai through the way of transmitting battle reports."

Zhao Chengyong turned his horse's head and stared at Team Zhengdao: "Now do you understand what happened?"

Dui Zheng nodded heavily, and said word by word: "Someone wants to assassinate His Highness!"

Zhao Chengyong nodded and said: "It is very likely that he is the young chief of the Astide tribe!"

After saying this, Zhao Chengyong rushed out on his horse like a gust of wind, and after rushing to the soldiers he brought, he quickly ordered: "One person with two horses, two bags of water, three yuan Hubing, a knife, a spear, and a crossbow, I lost all the rest! In the next four days, hurry back to Baiyang City at full speed!"

When the soldiers heard this, their expressions were all terrified.

Even Zhao Chengyong gave this kind of life-threatening order, and they knew what happened without guessing.

Immediately, everyone silently dropped all the things that could be lost, tied up the things that Zhao Chengyong asked them to bring, and made preparations for the unremitting long-distance journey day and night.

"set off!"

Zhao Chengyong rushed towards Baiyang City with the soldiers after they got everything ready.

In two days, they drove a full three-fifths of the way. During the process, horses kept falling to the ground, and people kept falling off their horses, but no one stopped to check.

When Zhao Chengyong and his party drove almost four-fifths of the way, Li Yuanji got the news that someone was coming towards him, and had already bypassed the hills and appeared behind him.

Different from what Zhao Chengyong guessed, it was not Ashidebu who came, but Yang Zhengdao.

Yang Zhengdao also did not lead any troops from Ast's tribe, but led Qing Yishui's Han team.

There are a total of 6000 people, all equipped with armaments that are inferior to the Xuanjia Army, but not inferior to most of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

"There was a loophole in Ge Shubu's side, allowing them to bypass it. It seems that Ge Shuhan is dead!"

"Yang Zhengdao asked Ashinabil to lead people to fight against my Great Tang's army in three directions, east, west, north, to contain my Great Tang's troops, and used the loopholes in the battle report to take away some of the guards around us, and then continued This opportunity to kill us is really a good plan!
It seems that we two smart people were smart this time but were mistaken by our cleverness! "
