Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

583 Chapter 2 Straight to the point ([-])

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the enemy army that was coming to meet them was not small, Tuoba Shanye dared not fight recklessly. After all, the Tang army at this moment is already a long-fighting army. Unwilling, but he could only reluctantly issue an order to withdraw troops.

"President, the future is late, and the prime minister is surprised."

After the Tang army withdrew, the galloping Tubo cavalry did not pursue it any more, but slowly stopped the soldiers and horses, and returned to the position where the defeated troops were, only to see an old general with a gray beard leading a group of followers He strode up to the stupefied Hetzzan, and saluted very respectfully. This person was the "Yeru" General Asu Gu Tsering, and his location was far away from him. Hurry up, but still failed to arrive at Dangxiong within the scheduled meeting time, but happened to save the remnant of Herzzan who was in extreme distress. Anyway, it was a mistake to make up for being late, but Ah But Su Gu Tsering didn't dare to boast of his merits, because he knew what kind of guy Herzzan was, so he didn't dare to be careless, and his posture was extremely low.

"Hmph, Asu Gu Tsering, you know you are late. If you hadn't come late, how could our army have suffered such a defeat? You openly disobeyed the military order and missed the opportunity of the battle. What should you do?"

Don't look at Herzzan limp as mud in front of Tang Jun, after being rescued, his spirit has come back, but obviously, he didn't intend to accept the grace of Asuku Tsering for his rescue, instead he put on the airs of a prime minister , Shengsheng wanted to push the responsibility for the defeat on Asu Gu Tsering's head, and after a short reprimand, he really seemed to be asking the crime on the spot.

"The prime minister appeases his anger. It's not that the last general acted recklessly. It's a long journey. Our department has been traveling day and night..."

Knowing that Hertz's praise was to blame others, but Aso Gu Tsering had no choice but to explain in a low voice.

"Fart, everyone else can do it, but you are the only one who can't do it all. You dare to make lies and sophistry. Do you dare not kill me?"

Herzzan was only thinking of finding a scapegoat for the defeat, so he ignored Asu Gu Tsering's explanation, and before he finished speaking, he widened his eyes and began to scold him unceremoniously.

"Great Minister calm down, great minister calm down, although Asu Gu Tsering made a mistake at the wrong time, but this time he saved our army, it can be regarded as a small effort, so the two can even out. Now that the army of Tang thieves is overwhelming, we It's better to go to the city to discuss the way to stick to it."

Seeing Hezzan's villainous appearance, Chili Hezan who was standing beside him couldn't bear to look at him anymore. In addition, he and Asugu Tsering were sons and daughters by marriage, so he didn't want to see his in-laws suffer for nothing. Flashed out from the side, and persuaded with a smiling face.

"That's right, Prime Minister, the Tang bandits are coming soon, we'd better go back to the city and discuss it later!"

"Grand Minister, what General Chili Hezan said is that this is a dangerous place, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time!"

With Chili Hezan taking the lead, a group of generals who had long been blinded by it naturally spoke out to echo him.

"Hmph, I'll argue with you later, go back to the city!"

In fact, Herzzan didn't really want to win Asuku Tsering, he just wanted a reason for defeat. Now that all the generals have opened their mouths, he is happy to accept it. Of course, Tang Jun The approach is the most dreadful thing for him, and he dare not stay here any longer, so he snorted coldly, got on his horse, and ran towards Luoxi City without looking back. Seeing this, the generals smiled wryly and shook their heads, but they had no choice but to lead their remnants to follow.

"Your Highness, the last general is incompetent and failed to win old Hertz."

After getting the credit, he just flew away. Tuoba Shanye was full of unwillingness, but no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to go back and hunt down the Tubo defeated army, so he could only lead his troops to retreat. But seeing that Li Xian had already led the army towards him, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly rode his horse forward, rolled his saddle off the horse's back, and begged himself to be guilty with a look of shame on his face.

"Ok?"

Li Xian didn't say anything, just raised his brows, and made a soft sound with an inquiring voice.

"His Royal Highness, the matter is like this..."

Tuoba Shanye's expression darkened, and he described in detail what happened when he was intercepted by the enemy.

"'Ye Ru' soldiers and horses? Well, I know, I don't blame you for this, let's go down and rest first."

It's a pity that I couldn't make a move, but Li Xian didn't care about it. He casually comforted Tuoba Shanye, and immediately ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, and ordered the scattered ministries to gather here quickly .

"Your Highness, this is impossible. Our army is exhausted after a long battle, and if we attack the city again, we may find it difficult!"

"Your Highness, the morale of the army is already exhausted. We cannot forcefully attack the fortified city. It would not be too late to make a decision after resting for a day or two."

"Think again, Your Highness!"

All the Tang troops were not too far away, and they all rode horses, so they came very quickly. The end of the day was not over, except for the logistics battalion, which was still lagging behind, all the ministries had already gathered, but when they heard that Li Xian planned to attack immediately In the city, the generals were all dumbfounded, and out of shock, they spoke out to dissuade them.

"Listen to my lord, our army is exhausted, the enemy's army is even worse, and Hertz praised that guy's brutal nature, and he has no tolerance for others. After losing this time, in order to maintain authority, he must be entrusted to others. If the lone material is not bad, the general must have been renounced. We should take advantage of his weakness and attack him. If we delay for a while, our army can recover, and the enemy's army is the same. If we want to attack again, it may be more difficult. Why don't you go down in one go, your will has been determined, the army rests for half an hour, and the soldiers will be more aggressive at the fourth quarter of Shenshi, and wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop!"

Although most of the generals held different opinions, Li Xian was unmoved, but he explained it in detail.

"What Your Highness said is true, the last general asked to be the vanguard!"

Although Li Xian had explained the truth very thoroughly, the exhausted generals still showed hesitation on their faces. Even Li He, Lin Chengbin and other confidant generals remained silent at this time, but Tuoba Shanye No. [-] One stood up and shouted for war.

"Your Highness, the last general is also willing to be the vanguard, please allow your Highness!"

It was not only Tuoba Shanye who dared to fight, Xiao Sanlang also thought that this was a good opportunity to break the city, so he also stood up and begged for his life.

"Okay, Gu's ready. In this battle, Tuoba Shanye will be the vanguard, followed by Xiao Sanlang. After resting for half an hour, let's go straight! Give Gu all his strength to open the city gate and enter the city!"

Li Xian originally intended to let Tuoba Shanye and Xiao Sanlang cooperate in the battle, seeing that the second general volunteered to come forward, he was very pleased, he didn't say any more nonsense, and made a straightforward decision.

"promise!"

After the two generals got what they wanted, they were very excited, and they agreed loudly, and went to arrange the preparations for the battle without mentioning it.

After a big defeat, no casualties counted, the scene in the city was desolate, and from time to time, there were wailing and crying everywhere, all of them were the family members of the imperial army who knew that their relatives had died in battle, and they were choking with grief. As soon as the scene of mourning came out, Chili Hezan, who was standing alone on the city gate tower, felt gloomy in his heart. Then he remembered that Hezzan used some excuses to go crazy and forced himself to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the north city gate. Seeing such a villainous behavior, Chili Hezan couldn't help feeling more depressed. He really wanted to lead his troops to leave, but his family and country were about to fall apart. Sulking alone on the top of this city.

"The Tang thief is coming, the Tang thief is coming!"

Just when Chili Hezan was restless, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, and it swept towards Luoxi City at an extremely fast speed. It was the Tang army who killed them in a big way, and the sharp-eyed soldiers all screamed in horror when they saw this, and the whole city was full of panic for a while.

"Bastards, take your positions, anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be killed without mercy!"

Chili Hezan, who had just recovered from his reverie, saw the chaos in the city, and immediately became furious. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist, roared angrily, and managed to force the city to The commotion was suppressed.

The top of the city is quiet, but there is no trace of tension before the imminent battle, there is only depression and helplessness waiting to die, not only the soldiers, but also the faces of all the generals are full of ashes The look of defeat is just because they escaped from the butcher knife of Tang Jun just now. Facing the overwhelming Tang Jun, how can they have the will to fight against it? It is quite courageous to run without turning around on the spot. Yes, Chili Hezan saw this kind of situation in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he was so helpless. When he was thinking about how to boost morale, he heard a loud sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and hurriedly turned back. Turning his head, he saw that Asu Gu Tsering had led a group of troops to the top of the city, and his heart felt much more at ease.

"Brother Asu, why are you here?"

Seeing Asu Gu Tsering's arrival, Chilihe Zan didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed forward with a few strides, and greeted him with gratitude.

"Brother, it was because of my elder brother that I was bored. How can my elder brother not come and see? Don't worry, my elder brother, I have transferred the generals here, and I will definitely not let the Tang thief get complacent!"

Aso Gu Tsering waved his hand boldly, and gave Chili Hezan a reassurance with a smile.

"Thank you, brother, but if that guy finds out, I'm afraid he'll have to make trouble, brother, you..."

Chili Hezan was very grateful for Asu Gu Tsering's help at a critical moment, but he was still worried that Asu Gu Tsering's private transfer of troops would be criticized by Herz Zan.

"I don't care about him, that bastard hides in the palace and doesn't dare to see anyone. The city depends on him to guard, and it's not over yet. You and I have been brothers for many years, so let's not talk about those out-of-the-way lies, and fight off the Tang thief first." Discuss again."

As soon as Hetzzan was mentioned, Asuku Tsering's face immediately turned ugly, he cursed angrily, and strode towards the city plate, showing his solidarity with Chili Hezan with practical actions Attitude, Chili Hezan saw this, and stopped talking, walked a few steps, came to the edge of the city, looked down, and saw that the surging Tang army had stopped a few places away from the city, Busily adjusting the formation, several cavalry rushed out of the formation, galloped to the bottom of the city, bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot several arrows bound with letters onto the top of the city, and several of them picked up the letters The soldiers hurriedly delivered the letter to the hands of the two generals.

The letters were small, made of ordinary kraft paper, but the words on the top clearly marked the name and taboo of the trustworthy person in Tibetan. Asogu Tsering and Chili Hezan each had one, and the rest belonged to De Norbu The two Ru generals, Esong Jiebu and Asu Gu Tsering held the letter in their hands, both of them were confused. After looking at each other, they each stretched out their hands and tore open the seal of the letter, and took out a sheet full of letters from the inside. Just looking at the written letter paper, the second general's expression brightened immediately.
