First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 88

86. Prime Minister Pang Qing Yun

Seeing the bloody soldiers smashed to pieces, even Xue Rengao, who was as bold as he was, still had lingering fears in his heart. Ma Qian pointed at the Yasha who was pulling up and down and asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Rolling down from the top of the city, Xue Rengao thought to himself that with such a huge force, the horse in his hand must not be able to stop it.

Most of the generals on the left and right were bandits and horse thieves, and they recognized him there, and they all shook their heads when they heard this.

"I don't know how to learn", Xue Rengao was very angry when he saw this, and then ordered his soldiers, "Go to Qiyang Palace and invite the military adviser."

"Yes, the military division knows a lot, and there must be a way to deal with this."All the shocked generals echoed.

Yong County is not far from Qiyang Palace, Hao Yuan, who heard the news, hurried over soon, and Jin Wang Xue Renyue came with him.

"Brother, I heard that you have been devastated, what is it that frightened you?" Xue Renyue came over and asked curiously.

Xue Rengao was furious when he heard this, "Shut up, disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you".

The unscrupulous Xue Renyue shut up quickly when he saw this, and everyone immediately approached to observe the city defense, but as soon as Xue Rengao retreated, Pang Qingyun dragged Yacha and Langya Pai to the city, but they couldn't observe What.

For this reason, Dou Jin was still very puzzled, "Today the enemy army has been scared out of their wits by this Yasha, wouldn't it be better to deter the enemy army by hanging on the top of the city?"

Pang Qingyun, who is well versed in the art of war, shook his head and smiled, "If they hang it on the top of the city and let them see clearly what it is, the fear will subside. Only the unknown is the most terrifying thing. I expect the enemy to I will be sleepless tonight, I will only keep thinking about how to crack this sharp weapon."

Dou Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, thought for a while and found it to be reasonable, and immediately smiled and said: "I don't know about soldiers, I'm just curious, brother Pang is in charge of the city defense, I'll just prepare the logistics for you."

Hearing Dou Jin's words, Pang Qingyun was greatly moved, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Please don't worry the county guard, Qingyun has a breath, and he will never teach the enemy to enter the city alone."

Dou Jing nodded, then turned to leave, Pang Qingyun cheered up and shouted: "Brothers cheer up and patrol the city well.

Today the enemy army has been terrified by us, and Tang Wang's army will arrive soon, and everyone will be rewarded when the time comes."

The guards of the Tang army in Yong County were oppressed by Xue Ju's army, and their morale was low, but in today's battle, Yasha and Langyapai showed their supernatural power, killing Xue Rengao's soldiers and horses, and their morale was suddenly shaken.

It turns out that Xue Rengao, the enemy of thousands of people, is nothing more than that, no matter how powerful he is, he can still fly to the top of the city. If he is run over by this sharp yaksha and smashed by the thick wolf teeth, it doesn't matter if you kill thousands of people or ten thousand. If you are an enemy, you can still see Lord Yan.

Hearing Tang Jun shouting, Dou Jing, who had already descended from the tower, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked in a low voice, "How much food is left in the city?"

"Previously, less than [-] Dendrobium was snatched back from Qiyang Palace. Including the county treasury, it was only enough for half a month." The subordinate officer looked around and said in a low voice.

"Half a month..." Dou Jing was taken aback, then nodded firmly, "It's enough, I believe that within half a month, King Tang will be able to break through."After saying that, he hesitated for a while, but gritted his teeth and ordered: "An extra meal tonight".

The subordinate officer was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said anxiously: "Junshou, this...".

Before he finished speaking, Dou Jing waved his hands and said: "The soldiers have been trapped for many days, and their morale has soared today, and they are in need of rewards. It is useless to save this meal, so let's do it now."

The subordinate officials had no choice but to do as they heard, and the defenders were undoubtedly delighted to learn that there would be an extra meal tonight.

On the high slope outside the city, Xue Rengao, Hao Yuan and others who were looking at the city defenses were puzzled when they saw the smoke rising from the kitchen and the sound of cheers rising and falling.

"Could it be that there is a lot of food stored in the city..." Hao Yuan frowned and wondered.

Xue Ren's head turned hard, and he couldn't help but purse his mouth when he heard this: "Maybe he wants to be a full-fledged ghost."

Everyone selectively ignored Xue Renyue's words.

Xue Rengao gritted his teeth, "If it weren't for the weird and fierce defense equipment, I would have taken Yong County today with a few charges."

Although Hao Yuan was full of strategies, Hao Yuan was at a loss for what Xue Rengao described about the spiky tree covered with thorns, so he could only say: "After dawn, bring the siege engine and attack again."

Xue Rengao nodded angrily. In his opinion, it was a shame for him not to break through Yong County within a day.

At this time, it was located in a gully not far from the south of Yongxian County. The terrain here was a loess platform, and the central highland towered high in the shape of a table, surrounded by cut valleys.

Gao Chong knew that this was the typical landform of the loess plateau, hidden in the gully, sheltered from the wind and concealed, with a man in the mouth of a horse, the sound of snoring one after another quickly dissipated in the wind.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and when Gao Chong fell asleep, the scouts he had sent out finally returned.

"Xue Rengao was frustrated in attacking Yong County during the day, and now he is stationed outside the east gate. It seems that there are about [-] tents in the camp."said the scout.

A scout is one of a thousand elites, with a strong body, quick action, strong adaptability, and strong observation skills. An experienced scout has a very high status in the barracks, and he can be called the king of soldiers.

"Frustrated in attacking Yong County?" Gao Chong and Liu Hongji were a little surprised when they heard it.

The scout nodded resolutely, "The torches on the top of the city are brightly lit, and cheers can be heard from far away, and the smoke is everywhere, which seems to be extra food, but the enemy camp is dull and depressed." The most important thing is that I caught a deserter in the dark, and after some interrogation, my guess was confirmed."

"You are very good." Gao Chong gave a thumbs up, "What about the deserters?"

"I crushed it to death and threw it into a ditch. It was too heavy to bring back."

"Youzhi, what do you want to do?" Liu Hongji was very energetic, "It is rumored that Xue Rengao is the enemy of ten thousand people, how amazing, I think it is nothing more than that."

Hearing this, Gao Chong frowned, shook his head and said, "Hongji should not underestimate the enemy, Xue and his son must have some ability to make such a big foundation."

Gao Chong did indeed remember that on the original trajectory, Xue Rengao used the heads of tens of thousands of Tang troops to build a terrifying Jingguan in Qianshuiyuan, which left him with a terrible reputation, which was known as the Battle of Qianshuiyuan in history.

For this reason, before Gao Chong set off for the expedition, he deliberately checked the geographical location of Qianshuiyuan. Qianshuiyuan was located in Gaochai City, Anding County, not Fufeng County.

Liu Hongji nodded straightly when he heard the words, but he was still puzzled, "I just don't know how Governor Dou frustrated Xue Rengao."

The scout scratched his head when he heard this, and said in confusion, "I heard from the deserter that it is a kind of scary wood with nails all over it, and no one can stop it from rolling down from the top of the city."

Gao and Liu were at a loss.

Gao Chong shook his head, "It doesn't matter how the governor of Dou guards the city, we have to give Xue Rengao a chance tonight, so as to give the friendly troops in the city the confidence to stick to it."
