First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

105 Intercept
...

Liangyuan, Heihe Valley, after exploring the surrounding terrain, Gao Chong was overjoyed, and patted Liu Hongji on the shoulder, "Hongji is really a good general, such a steep terrain, Xue Ju must have suffered a crushing defeat."

Liu Hongji scratched his head and smiled, but felt that the words of praise were familiar.

After finding a remote bay where the Tibetan army was stationed, Gao Chong sent out all the scouts.

Moreover, from morning to night, Li personally led Qingqi to patrol both sides of the river valley every day, and Gao Chong intercepted several batches of Western Qin Army messengers. After reading the letter, it was impressive that Xue Ju had ordered the governor of Anding County, Hun Gan, to lead the army south to meet them. After reading the letter, Gao Chong tore up the letter and threw it into the river.

In normal times, Gao Chong might be able to let the messenger pass by and ambush the stable West Qin army, but at this time, there is no doubt that Xue Ju is definitely more important.

Gao Chong only hoped that the envoys could be intercepted completely. If any fish slipped through the net and went to Anding, then he would intercept Xue Ju's troops head-on, and An Ding would attack from behind. The battle would be really interesting.

That is, Gao Chong and Li Shimin flanked Xue Ju together, and Xue Ju and Andingjun Hun Gan flanked Gao Chong together, and Gao Chong only had [-] Tang troops.

Until the next day, when it was getting dark, Gao Chong finally received a piece of good news. Xue Ju's troops were coming to the Heihe Valley, and it was expected to arrive early tomorrow morning. Gao Chong immediately cheered up and ordered the whole army to rest early. Then he entered the combat position, ready to ambush.

At the same time, the scouts and cruising Qingqi are strictly ordered not to let anyone close to the Heihe Valley. If the Xiqin scouts must be wiped out, if they are ordinary people, they must be tied up and detained, and the news must not be leaked.

And in the middle of the night, Gao Chong slept soundly. In his dream, he personally lifted the head of Xue Xiaoxiao, and his fame spread all over the world. Suddenly, he was woken up by Gao Xiong, "Mr. Lang, the scouts said they caught the person sent by the Second Young Master." .

Gao Chong immediately became energetic when he heard it, "Bring it up".

"Luo San, the scout team of the left army of the low-ranking right leader, has seen Gao Canjun." This scout team is full of eyebrows, big eyes, strong body, very majestic and mighty, and took out a letter from his arms. Please read your letter."

After Gao Chong received the letter, he didn't open it right away. Instead, he was very interested in the scout, "Captain Luo knows who the commander of the three left armies is?"

"Of course I know, it's Mr. Luo's deputy commanding the army," Luo San replied seriously.

"I hear your accent seems to be from Shandong. What is your relationship with Mr. Luo?"

"Don't hide the fact that Gao joined the army, and the low-ranking and Luo Tongjun are of the same family."

Gao Chong nodded, "Licheng Luoshi, do you know that Licheng Luoshi has a young warrior who joined the army at the age of 14, with boundless strength and martial arts skills."

Luo San laughed when he heard that, and grinned: "Gao Canjun is talking about Luo Shixin, he is also my brother of the same clan, but brother Shixin is young and not well-known, how did Gao Canjun know?".

This time Gao Chong believed that Luo San was not a counterfeit, his accent was correct, and he knew Licheng Luo's family like the back of his hand, so he just opened the letter in a perfunctory manner. There were not many words, only six words, "The pursuit of the enemy has reached Pugu ".

It is impossible for this kind of letter sent by the enemy to detail the strategic deployment, so Li Shimin will not order Gao Chong to intercept Xue Ju north of Pugu in the letter. If the scout is intercepted and killed, wouldn't the plan fail? For opponents, all generals are well aware of this.

And Xue Juming ordered Hungan to go south to meet him, but he never expected that a soldier like Gao Chong would intercept him halfway.

After watching it, Gao Chong had no doubts, "Team Luo has completed the task, and I will rest here tonight. I have something important to ask tomorrow."

Although Luo San was puzzled, but Gao Chong would only stay with him for one night, so he agreed.

Time passed quickly, and at Mao's time, the whole army had used up the court food, and then they hid their tents, and the whole army went into the valley to ambush.

When the scouts came to report that Xue Ju's army had arrived three miles away, Gao Chong's spirit was lifted immediately, and he summoned Luo San, "The battle will start later, and you will go back immediately and report the situation here truthfully." Luo San hurriedly responded ,

Gao Chong believed that as long as Li Shimin knew the situation here, he would be able to make arrangements soon.

The war is about to start.

On the other side of the Heihe Valley, Chu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and said directly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, after passing this valley, you will reach the boundary of Anding. I believe that General Hungan will come to meet him soon."

Xue Ju also looked slightly relaxed when he heard the words, and then said fiercely: "In the coming year, I will clean up Li Gui, and I will definitely kill old Li Yuan."

"Your Majesty, the more critical the moment is, the more important it is not to be taken lightly," Hao Yuan persuaded upon seeing this, "The sooner you reach An Ding, the sooner you are out of danger."

Seemingly only hearing the second half of the sentence, Xue Ju nodded and ordered: "Send the front army to cross the river quickly."

The front army, which received Xue Ju's order, accelerated forward. Just when the front line crossed the river valley and Xue Ju's Chinese army was about to cross the river, they only heard the sound of horns. go.

The former army of the Western Qin Dynasty was only 1 people, but Xue Renyue, the second son of Xue Ju, the king of Jin, led the army and opened the way in front of the army.

Seeing the Tang flag fluttering high and the Tang army rushing out, Xue Renyue was dumbfounded. He didn't send scouts to explore the way, but the sudden appearance of the Tang army completely stunned him.

The general was so miserable, and the vanguard soldiers were not much better. They rushed to the battle. Even though the numbers were equal, the battle was one-sided.

"Tang Jun has an ambush."

Xue Juzhong's army soon got the news, they were all shocked, Hao Yuan was shocked, frowned and thought for a while, then he suddenly realized, "This must be the Tang army that surprised Dazhen Pass and went north along Longshan Mountain to intercept our army."

Xue Ju struggled to get up, regardless of his servant's support, and "put on his armor".

"Your Majesty, your dragon body has not healed...".

"Put on the armor", Xue Ju scolded angrily, the servant dared not disobey, so he was busy dressing it up.

"The military division quickly led [-] soldiers from the Jincheng headquarters to support. The King of Jin is weak, and he is afraid of losing something." Xue Ju immediately ordered, "This Tang army can lie in an ambush quietly. The number must be small, and it must be defeated within two hours. Otherwise, the entire army of the Tang army in the rear will press up, and they will lose everything."

Although Xue Ju looked disastrous, but in times of crisis, his mind was still very rational, and he understood the virtues of his second son, Xue Renyue, so he ordered him to be a pioneer, opening roads and bridges every time, without any mistakes along the way. The junction of the two counties was ambushed.

Hao Yuan didn't dare to delay, so he rushed straight to the front army.

"Block them, stop them," Xue Renyue raised his sword and yelled sharply, with his head on his horse, and his personal guards around him acted as the supervising team, constantly hacking and killing the Western Qin soldiers who were retreating.

And directly in front, Gao Chong let his horse gallop with his hands out of the rein, holding an iron mace in each hand, chopping from left to right, and using horsepower, he would be injured if he touched it, and he would die if he touched it.

Gao Chong also did not expect that this Xiqin striker was so vulnerable, he has been suppressing and beating since the start of the battle.

Xue Renyue, who was shouting sharply in the distance, attracted Gao Chong's attention, and there was no strong general among the strikers. The thief was captured first, and the king was captured first. go.
