In the early morning of 14 September, as soon as Chen Mu came out of his tent, he received a battle report from the front, saying that the Liang army had won a complete victory and had once again driven the Huns away.

Chen Mu looked at the battle report, was amazed, and said in his heart, this Qi Dongyang is really a god of war.

No wonder Tang Qiong dared to let the twenty-year-old Tang Zhen fight such a big battle, no wonder Qi Dongyang committed such a serious crime, and the Tang clan valve also wanted to protect him. This is simply a man of gods who makes legends.

Qi Dongyang took the initiative to give up defending the city, and instead led his troops to rush to Alando, this move was unexpected by Alando, when the 100,000 cavalry of Donghu had not yet arrived, Alantor felt that he could no longer support it, so he chose to withdraw his troops.

In the midst of a fierce battle on the front line, what difference can there be between a sudden withdrawal of troops and a defeat.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the two sides combined, and the pursuit and killing of more than 100,000 people began.

The escape path that Arrando chose was the same as the one that Hungarian Dadan had escaped from Montedan last time.

But it is the same road, and the two big orders have different effects.

Arlando's side was accompanied by some elite cavalry, and he actually set up an ambush on the way to escape.

The first unit to catch up with Arlando was the Eighth Division of Shence, which was the unit of the veteran Dian Gong. But at this time, Dian Gong was already sitting at the headquarters of Shence and did not participate in the battle. And leading the charge of the Eighth Division were three young tiger generals, namely Wang Caotian, Zhen Badao, and Shi Jinchong.

These three people, in order to make great achievements, are desperate to exhaust and kill many horses, and they are still chasing after them. Tang Zhen was worried that these three people would make a mistake, so he sent three teams of scouts to chase after him, but he couldn't catch up.

As a result, at the foot of Langya Mountain, the three generals were ambushed by Alandor and were trapped in the valley and couldn't be killed.

At this time, the scout caught up, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately reported back to Tang Zhen, and kicked Tang Zhen over the table and chair in anger, and was furious.

It's not that Tang Zhen doesn't want to chase Alando, but he can't send troops at this time.

The whole army as a whole is too tired to be suitable for long-distance pursuit, but what do the three "tiger generals" care about? I think this is an opportunity to hunt down, and I'm going to do it!

is also very powerful, known as the four tiger generals under the eighteen princes, Qi Dongyang is fierce, and those three are Huns.

At one time, Tang Zhen wanted to give up, but after thinking about it, he couldn't give up the flesh in his heart, so he sent troops to support.

To say that Zhang Yunlong of the Xuanjia Army is really good, it is the Shence Army that is trapped, but in his eyes, there is no view of the gatekeeper, at this time, the first and ninth divisions of Xuanjia have been seriously disabled, and they urgently need to rest, and when they are chasing and killing the rout, it is an excellent time to grab the spoils, but Zhang Yunlong still led more than 6,000 people of the Xuanjia Fifth Division to rush to Langya Mountain.

As a result, he was ambushed again, and Zhang Yunlong was also trapped in the valley by Alando. Nineteen-year-old Zhang Yunlong is still a little tender.

Hearing the news, Tang Zhen's scalp was numb.

In a fit of rage, he ordered all the troops to give up the pursuit and kill the deserters from all walks of life, and collectively kill them to Langya Mountain.

In the end, it was Qi Dongyang who led the second division to break through the enemy's three blockades in a row, and encountered the enemy's ambush, which Qi Dongyang actually took the initiative to rush to the ambush soldiers and killed more than 8,000 enemy soldiers.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Alando fled with his troops, and at the same time, Wang, Zhen, Shi, and Zhang Si lifted the siege.

Wang, Zhen, and Shi still wanted to chase, but they were stopped by Tang Zhen, and their big mouths were pumped until they were bleeding.

Upon learning of the defeat of the Huns, the Donghu people, who had come all the way, stopped and returned the same way.

As soon as the old marshal Tang Qiong turned to Chang'an at this time, he received the news of the victory, and the old marshal laughed loudly and led the troops back to Beijing.

——

"This time, the Hungarian people are greatly injured, and if they want to make trouble again, it will be very difficult, and without the recovery of a generation, he can't relieve this breath."

Chen Mu handed the battle report to the lame man, the lame man held it in his hand and read it carefully, Zhang Han didn't know much, so he asked the lame man to give a lecture, and the lame man ran to a crowded place and read it aloud.

Hearing the news of the victory, the soldiers cheered, and some even wept with joy.

——

After two major wars in a row, there were too many things to do, and at this time, the headquarters of the Western Army was very busy, and all kinds of documents flew around like snow.

At the beginning, Tang Zhen was very diligent, giving people a feeling that he had to bow down to every detail, but later he was so tired that he handed over all the things below 3,000 taels to the food governors, generals, and secretaries to do, and took time out to rest and rest, just to look at the war reports sent from all over the country.

When he saw the report of the Jiuquan battle, Tang Zhen praised him repeatedly, and said that if the time was ripe, he hoped to meet with the king of New Sogdia.

As soon as Alidayi heard this, he took the initiative to come to Wuwei to see Tang Zhen, and Tang Zhen was overjoyed and gave a banquet to the Sogdian king.

The Sogdian king said that he hoped to meet with the Emperor of Daliang to discuss the return of Guazhou, and at the same time to discuss the matter of business.

Tang Zhendao: You withdraw first, and I will open it for you first. The business road in the Longyou area, my Tang family has the final say. But if you want to do business in Tongguan, then you have to go to see His Majesty the Emperor. If you want to meet, on August 15 next year, you will bring tribute to Beijing, and I will ask my father to lead you to worship and guarantee that you will be crowned a prince.

Alidayi was overjoyed.

In this battle, the Hungarians were greatly damaged, but for the Sogdians, half of their vitality was still retained.

Alidayi also took 3,000 Sogdian prisoners with him this time, and Alidayi was very moved by this, and presented 1,000 horses to Tang Zhen as a token of gratitude.

Tang Zhen ordered Kong Xiaoxian, Suzhou (Jiuquan), Guazhou (Jinchang), and Shazhou (Dunhuang) to be the defense area of your Third Division, and cooperate with the Sogdian king.

After receiving the order, Kong Xiaoxian wanted to cry without tears, and asked Tang Zhen for soldiers, Tang Zhen said that there is no one for the time being, and I will send it to you as soon as half a year.

Kong Xiao had a hard time first, and Chen Mu was even more bitter than him.

Soon after, the official appointment document was written, and Chen Mu was appointed as the deputy general of the Third Division and the captain of the First Brigade with the rank of deputy lieutenant general.

Kong Xiaoxian's lieutenant Lang promoted the rank from the original third-class general to the second-class, which is also a step forward.

And Chen Mu's rank of deputy general is also divided into one, two, and third, and now Chen Mu is a third-class deputy general, from this level, unless there is a God-given opportunity to be promoted exceptionally, otherwise it will slowly survive and the promotion will become slow.

However, Chen Mu is still quite satisfied, because since the third-class deputy lieutenant general, he can really be called a general, and he was called a general before, just an honorific title.

The war ended, and trade was reopened. Chen Mu was busy with business. In this pass area, it is the military administration, and the civil official surnamed Tang who was sent later, although he is called the county commander, but in front of Chen Mu, he is just a literati who listens to the command.

This county magistrate's name is Tang Liu, and he sighed all day long, saying that he was squeezed out by the gate valve and had a hard life. - He is the son of the third master Tang Xian, and if he can't practice qigong, he will be a civilian.

"I heard that Kong Xiaoxian appointed Dianxiao as the captain of the second brigade, and the captain of the third brigade was concurrently served by Tang Yun, the grain inspector, and now Tang Yun has led the troops to take over Guazhou." The cripple smiled bitterly: "There are only two hundred people under him, and it is ridiculous to call it a brigade." ”

Chen Mu asked strangely: "Why doesn't Jiayuguan garrison?" ”
