Chapter 570: Going Behind Enemy Lines VIII

Wang Zhongsi looked at the talisman seal in his hand and didn't let go, he knew that now was not the time to open it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's okay, you guys disperse. He said to his own soldiers, and then walked straight into his tent, and after seeing that there was really no one left and right, he suddenly slowly opened the thing that seemed to be a talisman.

Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng's words slowly began to speak, which made him startled at first, then frowned slightly, and then fell into the contemplation he had just said.

10,000 cavalry elite raided the three surrendered cities, and did not know which one they attacked first, which made him a little confused, what kind of fame was Li Huaixiu doing, even if the Turkic Khanate fell into civil strife, but Li Huaixiu's courage and appetite were inevitably too great, and when he used the Tang Dynasty to gather heavy troops to attack the Xi people, he was united with the Xi people on the surface, but behind his back, he had the idea of three surrendered cities and even a single capital protectorate.

Although he also has an army of more than 200,000 in his hands, including 200,000 cavalry, these Tang troops are from the four towns of Shuofang Longyou, Hexi, and Hedong.

He thought for a while and drank lightly: "Come on, pass me Li Guoren." ”

Li Guoren is the leading general under Wang Zhonghe, although there are many generals gathered under him now, but he can trust, or the original Hedong faction and the current Shuofang faction, Longyou and Hexi generals, although they are quite strong, and the quality of the Tang army in these two towns is higher than that of the other two towns, but after all, it is not his faction, he doesn't trust it very much.

In case the three surrendered cities were lost, even if he won the Xi Qi coalition army, it would not be easy for him to explain to Li Longji.

Not long after, Li Guoren, who was dressed in bright light armor, walked into the tent, saluted Wang Zhonghei and said, "Li Guoren sees Wang Shuai." ”

"Guoren excuse me, I called you here this time to give you an important task. After Wang Zhongji blew away the ashes in his hand, he said to him lightly.

"Is the important task related to the strange news that Wang Shuai just received?" Li Guoren said curiously, Wang Zhongsi just received a strange secret letter has now spread, so that many people are discussing the mystery, some people say that this is a secret decree suddenly from the emperor, some people say that this is the return of the intelligence force that Wang Zhongsi secretly raised, anyway, there are different opinions, no one knows what is written in the letter.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Wang Zhongsi blowing away the ashes in his hand, and it seemed that the letter was indeed a secret letter, and it had been burned by Wang Zhongsi.

"What, it's already spread outside?" Wang Zhongsi knew that this matter would spread sooner or later, after all, the scene at that time was indeed a little weird, and many people saw it, so it was hard to guarantee that they would not discuss it.

"You guessed right, I will tell you directly, this is the news sent back by the scouts I sent to the rear of the Khitan, the situation is urgent, so I want you to immediately lead 30,000 troops, 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, immediately go to the three surrendered cities, divide the troops to defend, if any of the surrendered cities are raided, then go to the rescue as soon as possible. ”

"What? Is it that someone is coming to attack the city of Sanshou? Who is it? The Later Turks? Or is it the Khitan?" Li Guoren was a little surprised that such an episode would occur when such a large army was gathered.

"The Khitans sent 10,000 surprise soldiers, rushed to attack the three surrendered cities, and they are the elite of the elite, if we don't get this news, even if it is not good, they can occupy at least one surrendered city, and when we meet with their main force, they can contain us and they will be able to take the order in the capital with peace of mind. ”

Li Guoren was taken aback, the Khitans had such courage?

"Dare to ask Wang Shuai where did the news come from?" Before sending out the troops, he had to confirm the authenticity of this news.

"Are you questioning my source of intelligence?" Wang Zhongsi's tone sounded a little unhappy, in fact, because of his busy military affairs, he almost forgot the existence of Ye Chengcheng and his party, and only now did he think of them, they went deep behind enemy lines and sent back such important information for the Tang Dynasty, but they were questioned by others, how could he be comfortable in his heart.

"I'll tell you, this is information that someone else exchanged for his life, even if you do what I tell you, you go to the Hedong Army, Lao Han and you are old acquaintances, and I won't embarrass you. The Hedong Army is where we started, both soldiers and generals can be trusted, this mission is very important, in case you lose any of the surrendered cities, you know what it means. He glanced at Li Guoren's expression again, and sighed lightly: "I know that you want to make meritorious contributions in this general battle, and you don't want to be sent to the border prevention area of 10,000 people, but there are many generals gathered in Lingwu right now, but I don't trust much, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Guoren also sighed in his heart, arched his hand and said, "The last general will take the order!"

After speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the big tent, after all, he was also Wang Zhongsi's subordinate no matter how he said it, even if he wanted to go to the front line to fight for his merits, but Wang Zhongsi did not give him this opportunity. Now he can only hope that he can defeat the 10,000 Khitan cavalry elites and keep the three surrendered cities, once he defends it, I am afraid it will also be a great achievement, which should be better than even if he goes to the front line, he has not won any military achievements, he can only comfort himself like this.

Seeing him leave, Wang Zhongsi slowly stood up, walked to a map, looked at the place where the three surrendered cities, and muttered to himself: "Li Huaixiu, you have a lot of appetite, but Ben Shuai wants to see, you are missing the elite of these 10,000 cavalry, and what will the remaining cavalry fight with my 200,000 cavalry." ”

In fact, he didn't look down on the so-called Xi Qi coalition army at all, although it was claimed to be 200,000, but it was just a rabble composed of a group of herdsmen, and there were not many troops with organized training and combat effectiveness, he was confident that he could defeat these rabble in one battle, but until now the army has not completed the assembly, which makes him annoyed, obviously His Majesty has issued an edict, these guys are still delaying time, and it is clear that they don't want to get any credit.

But how could he possibly satisfy them, in case the 200,000-strong army was not assembled for a long time, would it be difficult for him not to fight? He had already made up his mind, in the next half of the day, if the army had not yet completed its assembly, he would still give the order to go out, and if there were still Tang troops who had not yet arrived, they would all be dealt with according to the delay of the military plane, and the specific punishment would be given to them, and he would discuss them after the battle was over, and he would let those who did not want to see him know that he was not easy to bully.

"Come, tell everyone to get ready, and the whole army will set off in three hours!" he suddenly shouted.
