Dugu Shouzhong has been educated since childhood, there has never been a "loyal monarch and patriotism" these four words, "although tens of millions of people, I will go" even though the sentence has been read, but did not delve into its meaning, in his cognition, only the family is the existence of the children who let their children shed their blood and sacrifice their lives.

But Fang Jun in front of him knew that after a full-scale war with Xue Yantuo, he would face a situation where the whole country would be the enemy, but he was still upright and did not hesitate to do so!

In the past, Dugu Shouzhong would sneer at such people and things in the face of such people, with a look of disdain, believing that it was just pretending and selling fame. However, standing opposite Fang Jun at this moment, feeling the firmness and nobility of "for the country and the people, it doesn't hurt to die" revealed between Fang Jun's words, my heart was greatly touched.

In contrast, it is inevitable to be ashamed of oneself......

Fortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, whether the children of the family or the literati and eunuchs, bathed in the splendor of the times, they were not as shameless and shameless as later generations, and they had no bottom line, they chased their own values, but did not regard other people's different ideals and ambitions as stupid and ridiculed and disdainful, the people of this era can maintain enough respect for all great and noble things, and give praise and support because they can't do it.

"At that time, the name of the last general will be signed, and the last general will also be a light, haha......"

Dugu Shouzhong laughed.

Fang Jun also laughed: "In this case, how can the little brother swallow such a god-throwing feat?" ”

If it is to directly smash the mountain of Yu Du Jun and destroy the tooth tent of the Yinan Khan, it will naturally deserve the praise of pouring the sky, but as long as it fails to reach this step and does not overthrow the Xue Yantuo Khanate, making it difficult for it to intervene in the war of Goguryeo, it is a big crime.

Dugu Shouzhong's statement is a statement of position, he will not participate in it, but he will definitely not pull Fang Jun's hind legs and slander him in the recital.

Moreover, if Fang Jun bears the consequences alone, and bears it together with the Northern Xinjiang Generals, the situation will naturally be very different.

These people are in the northern frontier, facing the war, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they have a very large right to dispose of, and they have the right to make any choice in the absence of an explicit order from the imperial court!

Even if this move violates the current national policy, the law does not blame the public, with Fang Jun in front, and the generals and colonels sharing the firepower, it will not let Fang Jun cut the official and fall into the dust......

This is a great favor, and Fang Jun must appreciate it.

"Brother Dugu is very loving, how can a certain brother be involved and make his brother suffer? This northward journey will definitely ravage the grassland desert vigorously, not hit the Yu Du Jun Mountain, do not drink a cup of tea in the tooth tent of the Yinan Khan, do not let the Yinan Khan dance a Hu Xuan dance, and vow not to return! Brother Dugu is sitting in Mayi, after the beginning of spring, there will be good news! ”

With that, he laughed and pushed the door away.

Dugu Shouzhong stood at the door, watching Fang Jun's generous back stride out of the government office, and all the generals and colonels of the right guard on the road gathered behind him, and they all rode their horses and rushed to the right guard camp in the west of the city.

Soon after, news came that the right guard went out of the city and went straight to Dingxiang.

Dugu Shouzhong looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed softly.

As a child of a family, he started a few levels higher than those mud-legged poor families, and if he had some talent, he would immediately rise to prosper. However, while the powerful family forces provide support for their children, it is also equivalent to putting a shackle on them.

Too many concerns, too many taboos, too many restrictions.

Even if they are talented, how many people can break free from this shackle and soar freely to do whatever they want?

*****

The wild goose gate was closed.

Dadushi stared at the wolf's tooth arrow that was obliquely inserted into the ground in front of him, and then looked up at the first Xiongguan in the north that lay between the mountains in the distance, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, and his eyes were about to split!

Seeing that the world-famous feat of slaughtering the Turks was about to arrive, but was blocked by the Tang army, who could not be angry?

But he has not lost his mind yet, and he knows that the pursuit of Yanmen Pass is not only a disobedience to his father's order in his eyes, but also a matter of the Tang army's holding on to the danger, and the Xue Yantuo cavalry, who did not bring engineering ordnance on this trip, may not be able to fill in the victory even if they use human lives to fill it.

If he not only failed to capture Yanmen Pass, but lost his troops and generals, and could not explain to his father Khan after returning, it would damage his prestige.

The Hu people on the grassland are the most realistic, only to judge the hero by success or failure, he generously set up the first time to lead the army to return home, not only can not get the favor and help of those bystander tribes, but will cause his team to also fluctuate, it is really worth the loss.

His face was fierce, and after a while, he glanced at the Tu Fan around him: "I want to attack Yanmen Pass, what does Qu Shuai want?" ”

Tu Midu scolded in his heart, and said solemnly: "I am a rough person, I don't know military strategy, I only know that the second prince is the head of the horse!" If you say withdraw, I will obey the order, if you say to fight, I will fight, and I will wait for your dispatch and be willing to be the vanguard! ”

He had already seen through the temperament of Dadu.

Zhida is talented, ambitious, selfish, brutal, and the most important thing is that it is difficult to make a decision in case of hesitation, how can such people have the courage to completely disobey the Khan's orders, lead tens of thousands of troops to shake the Yanmen Pass, and provoke a full-scale war between Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty?

The reason why I asked myself was just a clever trick to test my loyalty......

After listening to Tu Midu's firm words, Dadu's face was a little pale, and he said gently: "Hui Hui is also a part of Tiele, our ancestors are all connected by blood, how can I watch Hui Hui Tieqi attack the strong city of the Tang people with flesh and blood?" When it comes to cavalry field battles, the Tang people may not be Xue Yantuo's opponents, but when it comes to holding on to the fortified city, Xue Yantuo is far behind the Tang people......"

appeased Tu Midu for a few words, and then said in a loud voice: "The Tang people have already prepared, if they attack Yanmen Pass, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, but you have no choice but to lead you to make achievements and plunder wealth, but also bring you back alive!" Otherwise, if your wife, children, and parents weep and grieve day and night on the grassland, how can I feel at ease? ”

Looking around, seeing that these words really touched many people, he felt a little proud in his heart, and said loudly: "Listen to my orders, withdraw immediately!" We returned to Dingxiang City, captured it, and from then on included the entire Baidaochuan into the territory of the Khanate, and our children and grandchildren could herd sheep and horses in this warm land! ”

"The second prince is mighty!"

"We listen to the second prince!"

……

No one wanted to fight, not even the Xue Yantuo people, who were accustomed to plundering for a living.

Only by living can you enjoy delicious food and wine, Han women's dependents, and fighting means death, and the battle of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks was more than ten years ago, and its invincible power across the world has not weakened, but has become more and more powerful, who wants to fight with such an enemy?

Therefore, the choice of Dadushi was suddenly supported, and retreating from the battle was a shame for the Hu people, but at this time, he gained a good reputation for Dadushe, who "loves soldiers like sons", and reaped a wave of loyalty......

Dadu set coldly glanced at the Tang army who were unexpectedly arrayed at the place of one stone's throw away, and the bright armor and snowy Mo knife made him extremely envious.

The Turks also did not know how to smelt iron, but they were able to rule over the most skilled tribes in the steppe, and thus obtained a lot of sharp weapons and armor. However, Xue Yantuo inherited the Turkic territory and tribes almost completely, but those tribes who were good at iron smelting preferred to move westward rather than accept Xue Yantuo's rule.

On the contrary, Hui has a good relationship with him......

This led to the fact that although Xue Yantuo's cavalry dominated the grassland in numbers, when it came to weapons and armor, they were not as good as their own horses......

And Datang's iron-smelting level is another realm.

Put away these untimely thoughts in his head, Da Du Shi ignored Tang Jun anymore, turned the horse's head, quickly whipped the horse, and returned along the same road.

Behind him, the mighty tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo cavalry all rode their horses to accompany him, like a wind and clouds, blowing a fierce hurricane on the ground, rolling the ice and snow foam on the ground into the air, and the momentum was terrifying.

The ranks of tens of thousands of people were not confused because of the retreat, and the rear formation of Xue Yantuo's cavalry changed to the front formation, and they slowly retreated in an orderly manner.

Dadu was in a very depressed mood, and this time he couldn't compete for all the results, but he only eliminated the Turkic dog-legged Lite people, which was far from imagining. If he couldn't capture Dingxiang City, he would definitely be punished extremely severely by his father Khan after returning to the tooth tent this time.

But Dingxiang City is guarded by two of the most elite sixteen guards of the Tang Army, how to capture it?

I was in an irritable mood, so I simply didn't think about it anymore, and waited until I returned to the camp to see the situation in Dingxiang City.

As he was riding his horse, a cold arrow shot straight down from under the steep mountain beside the road, and struck Da Du She's right shoulder.

Dadu set a wild roar: "Enemy attack!" ”

Then he pulled off the helmet above his head, endured the severe pain, drew his waist knife and cut off the shaft of the arrow, and untied the cloak behind him, and rode into the cavalry array that had begun to be chaotic on horseback.

He didn't want to be a live target for an enemy lurking in the shadows.
