Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 651 Unreliable reinforcements
In Migan City, after Shang Jiezan heard that his Bird Envoy was beheaded and his head was hung on the city gate, he said with a normal expression:
"The Buddha will not save those who want to die. When Ben Dalun conquers Jincheng, he must let the envoy of Ben Dalun be buried with him."

Shang Jiezan's words were echoed by all his subordinates. Compared with the dead host Shang Qixin'er, Shang Jiezan was a pure Tibetan nationalist.

In the Tubo Empire conceived by Shang Qixiner, the Tubo people lived high on the spire, below them were the Qiang and Xianbei people who managed the slaves for the Tubo people, and below them were the Han people who served as slaves.

There are places for other nationalities in this system, and what Shang Qixin'er wants to build is a hierarchical slave empire.

But in Shang Jiezan's eyes, all alien races are destined to die.

Whether it is the Han people, the Xianbei people or the Qiang people, they all have to be enslaved and die.

In the empire Shang Jiezan conceived, only Tibetans could live on the land.

After being rejected by Su Tong, Shang Jiezan immediately began to assemble the army, even Zanpu's Bai Lin army did not wait, and prepared to attack Jincheng as soon as possible.

Su Tong, the prefect of Lanzhou, stood on the city wall. He opened the city gate for one day as agreed, and let the people in Jincheng leave the city.

At this time, there was a long queue at the gate of Jincheng, and the frightened people were dragging their families to leave Jincheng. Su Tong's son Su Wuwei couldn't help asking:
"Father, why don't you keep these people in the city and recruit more young men?"

Su Tong glanced at his son and said, "If you are young and strong, you can work on the city wall tomorrow."

Su Wuwei trembled, of course he didn't want to defend the city wall.

Su Tong said lightly: "You also know fear, don't the people in the city know? The matter of defending the city is not about the number of people, but the hearts of the defenders in the city. If the hearts of the people are united, a lonely city can still be defended. If the hearts of the people are not united, The mighty pass of the world is also easy to break."

On the other side of the city, there was a recruiting point set up by the Jincheng Army, and there was also a long queue at this time.

Su Tong saw a young man sending his parents, wife and children out of the city, then turned around and went to the recruiting point.

At this moment, Su Tong suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes.

Could it be that the Tubo people called here so quickly?

Impossible, it will take a day to go from Migan City to Jincheng, and it is because of this that Su Tong opened the city gate to let the people out of the city.

A defender ran up to Su Tong and shouted, "Prefect! Cavalry!"

"Where did they come from?"

"north!"

Su Tong hurriedly ran to the north wall, Su Wuwei asked anxiously while catching up with his father:

"Father, the Tibetans came too fast!"

Su Tong's face was livid, and he walked quickly to the north wall, and he saw a cavalry coming towards Jincheng.

Su Wuwei was already in a panic, he quickly asked: "Father, do you want to close the city gate immediately?"

Su Tong also hesitated. If the city gate is closed now, the people who just left the city will die.

Just when Su Tong was hesitating, a soldier suddenly shouted:
"It's the Tang army! It's the reinforcements!"

Su Tong raised his head, and only then did he see clearly that this group of cavalrymen were all wearing fiery red cloaks. Isn't this the Tang army's attire?

Reinforcements?How come so fast?
After Tubo sent the ultimatum, Su Tong immediately dispatched his men and sent letters for help to all around.

The first is to ask for help from the Guanzhong imperial court. Lanzhou guards the northern gate of Guanzhong, and its position is very important. Even if Lanzhou falls, the imperial court must be given enough time to deploy defenses in Guanzhong.

Then he asked for help from the Shuofang army in Lingzhou, and finally Su Tong also sent a rescue letter to Li Tan, the king of Yue in Hexi.

For the latter two, Su Tong also had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

The Anlushan Rebellion emptied the imperial court's elite forces in the northwest, and it was good enough that Hexi could protect itself.

But why did this Tang cavalry come from the north?
If it is the reinforcements sent by the Guanzhong court, shouldn't they come from the south?

At this time, the cavalry in front were about to gallop down to the city, Su Wuwei saw clearly the flag raised high by the cavalry, and a black word "Yue" on a red background appeared in everyone's eyes.

"It's the cavalry of King Yue!"

Su Wuwei said excitedly.

Su Tong frowned. When he was young, he also participated in military affairs under Ge Shuhan's account. This cavalry force is estimated to be less than a thousand people. Compared with the 20 Tubo army, this reinforcement is simply a drop in the bucket.

However, Su Tong's brows quickly relaxed. It is better to have reinforcements than no one. The more he can support Lanzhou in such a difficult time, the more he feels warm in his heart.

Su Tong immediately sent his men to contact the cavalry, and after a while a young Tang general climbed onto the city wall.

"Timer, envoy of the Tianshan Army under King Yue's command, pays his respects to Governor Su."

"General Timur, you don't need to be too polite. How did you come here so quickly?"

This is also what Su Tong couldn't figure out. The envoy sent out yesterday, no matter how fast he ran, would at most reach Zhangye. Could it be that King Yue's reinforcements set off earlier than his envoy?

Timur smiled and said: "His Royal Highness got the news of the change in Tubo a few days ago, and immediately sent me to support Lanzhou. Timur just ran faster, so he arrived first."

Su Tong had already confirmed Timur's identity through customs and military orders, and seeing the tall horses of the cavalry under the city wall, and seeing the cavalry's prohibition, Su Tong also knew that this was the elite of the elite.

King Yue was able to send such elites to Lanzhou, and Su Tong was even more grateful.

"The people in Su Tong Dai City, thank you King Yue for your support!"

Su Tong cupped his hands in the direction of Longyou, and then asked: "Just now General Timur said that there are reinforcements behind?"

Timur nodded and said: "After learning about the changes in Tubo, the Hexi Army has assembled, with a total of 2 infantry and cavalry, and is already on the way to support Lanzhou."

Su Wuwei immediately became excited: "2 people!"

But Su Tong was a little disappointed. 2 people are indeed a lot, but it is still not enough to see in front of 20 people in Tubo.

However, King Yue's willingness to support 2 people has already moved Su Tong greatly.

He asked, "What about Hexi's defense?"

"Hexi's defense prefect Su doesn't have to worry, let's first talk about tomorrow's defense of the city."

Timur said with a smile.

Hexi?Even with the 1 courage of the Tubo people, they dare not attack Hexi.

Besides, Tuyuhun is now in the hands of the king of Yue, so let's take down Tuyuhun first if we want to fight Hexi.

Su Tong immediately understood what Timur meant, and stopped asking about Hexi's affairs, but said: "It's Su who is being rude, quickly take my warrant, and temporarily close the passage out of the city from the north gate, so that General Timur's The Ministry will enter the city."

"Enter the city? Prefect Su and we are cavalry, what can we do when we enter the city?"

Su Tong looked at Timur suspiciously, what would 1000 of you do if you didn't enter the city?

Looking at Timur's too young face, Su Tong couldn't help guessing wildly, did King Yue send a fool to die?

It can be seen that Timur is well-equipped, and the horses are all first-class BMWs. At first glance, he looks like an elite cavalry.

Is there such a shortage of talents under the King of Yue?Can this kind of person be the commander of the cavalry?

Or is it that Timur is related to King Yue?Send him to Lanzhou to brush up his qualifications?

This is a national war of tens of thousands of people!
Seeing Su Tong's puzzled eyes, Timur didn't want to waste time explaining.

In Timur's view, Su Tong is just an insignificant NPC, and the acting at this time is just the need of the plot, and it is enough to pass the plot as soon as possible.

He immediately said: "Prefect Su just guard Jincheng, I'll just camp outside the city."

After saying this, Timur clasped his fists in salute and walked down the city wall of Jincheng.

Su Wuwei watched Timur go down the city, and quickly said to his father:
"Father, can the King of Yue's reinforcements be relied upon?"

Su Tong closed his eyes and said:

"I don't care about these things at this time. Since they want to camp outside the city, let them go. Let's continue to do a good job of defending the city. You follow me to patrol the city wall!"

After saying this, Su Tong strengthened his spirits again, and with the help of his son, he began to inspect the city wall.

Su Tong has a good reputation in Lanzhou, and he treats his soldiers generously.

He appeared on the city wall, and the soldiers also raised their morale.

And Su Tong watched on the city wall after Timur set up a temporary camp on the edge of the city, many of them actually took their horses to play by the Huangshui River, Su Tong couldn't help but shook his head again, it seems that King Yue's reinforcements really unreliable.

Did they really regard such a national war as a place to gain qualifications?

However, the other party was helping him, and he had no affiliation with Lanzhou. Su Tong could only send someone to send food for condolences, and let the players outside the city go.

On the second day, Shang Jiezan's army had officially set out from Migan City.

Although Shang Jiezan converted to Buddhism, there are still Bon priests accompanying the Tubo army.

A few days ago, Shang Jiezan broke through a Tang army outpost in Lanzhou and captured a group of soldiers and civilians.

Now these Tang people are tied up and hung on a high platform, and the Bon religion priests wearing strange costumes use a knife to dig out the hearts of these Tang people and smear them on Shang Jiezan's black military flag.

Under such a bloody sacrifice, the Tubo soldiers howled like beasts. Shang Jiezan saw that the morale had been raised, and ordered the left and right to blow the trombone and send out troops.

The mighty Tubo army rushed to Jincheng with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Sitting in a sedan chair carried by 16 people, Shang Jiezan, who was wearing a gorgeous T-shirt, looked at the sunny Jincheng with a smile that was bound to win.

Shang Qixin'er is too old a waste. Today's world belongs to Zanpu and his generation of young people. Let yourself wash away the shame caused by Shang Qixin'er and his son.
