Wang Zhongsi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then grinned, since Li An asked for battle, Guo Ziyi and other generals of the Hengye Army also knelt down to ask for battle, he naturally couldn't refuse, besides, the situation has changed at this moment, and there is no risk of losing Anbian City.

"All the officers and men of the Yokono Army, as the backup of our army, will set off with the cavalry early tomorrow morning."

Guo Ziyi and his subordinate generals were all overjoyed: "The last general is ordered." ”

"My nephew is willing to fight with the Yokono Army."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to make his position clear, after all, he was very familiar with the Yokono Army.

Wang Zhongsi originally planned to let Li An follow him, but when he saw Li An taking the initiative to ask to fight with the Hengye Army, he felt a little disappointed, but since Li An had already expressed his attitude, he was not good at objecting, and nodded lightly in agreement.

3,000 elite cavalry set up camp outside the south gate of Anbian City, while high-ranking generals such as Wang Zhongji and Ge Shuhan entered Anbian City and lived in the mansion of Zhang Qiqiu, the military envoy of Hengye.

In order to show his respect, Zhang Qiqiu prepared extremely sumptuous dishes and filled several cases in the main hall.

Wang Zhongsi and several generals, as well as Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Ziyi, and Li An are all present, it stands to reason that a small person like Li An is not qualified to sit with these Tang generals, however, Wang Zhongsi likes Li An, not only because Li An is the son of his friend Li Wu, but also because Li An is talented and has made great contributions in a row, which makes him admire, and even several conceited generals under his command are convinced.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Zhongsi's cheeks were slightly flushed with a hint of red, as the feudal official of the Tang Empire, he was a young man, and climbed all the way to the high position of the Jiedu envoy, which can be said to have enjoyed the scenery, of course, the career of Rong Ma also made him suffer a lot, and his cheeks that were polished by the wind and sand outside the plug looked a little rough, but it also revealed the majesty of perseverance, full of a solemn atmosphere, even when the expression was warm, this unique majesty would not disappear.

Wang Zhongsi raised his eyes and swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and finally looked at Li An beside him: "It's okay, our army and the Tibetan army are about to fight, what is your best strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Li An smiled indifferently: "Uncle, the Fan army has already been defeated, so why do you need a good strategy." ”

"Hahaha! You're a good talker, much better than your father. ”

Wang Zhongsi pointed at Ang Lee and laughed, Ang Lee's understatement was just right, which made Wang Zhongsi feel very comfortable.

When the generals of the Tang Army heard this, they all laughed aloud, after all, Li An's sycophants are completely the truth, Wang Zhongsi is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he has mobilized 10,000 troops, how can he not defeat the rabble of the Fan Army, and Li An compliments Wang Zhonghei, that is, the Tang generals who compliment them.

In particular, several generals under the command of Wang Zhongsi were extremely conceited in their hearts, they fought with Wang Zhongsi in the south and the north, and fought countless victories, and they did not take Li Tagu in their eyes at all, and they were always victorious wherever they went.

Li An looked at these conceited Tang army generals and found that several generals under Wang Zhonghe's command were all fierce generals who were strong and not angry.

One of them always likes to laugh and seems slightly arrogant, while the other is always silent and seems a little cold.

"Uncle, who are these generals?"

Wang Zhongsi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I patronized and drank, but I forgot to introduce it." ”

Then he pointed to several generals and introduced: "Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, and An Chongzhang, all of them are fierce generals. ”

When Li An heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, these generals were actually famous generals of the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night. So far, I have peeped at Huma and dare not go over Lintao.

Needless to say, Goshuhan's fame goes without saying.

Li Guangbi's name is closely linked to Guo Ziyi, and he is a great contributor to the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, and his military command strength is not weaker than Guo Ziyi.

An Chongzhang is the great-grandson of the Tang Dynasty general An Xinggui, the son of An Zhongjing, the deputy ambassador of Hexi Jiedu, he loves riding and shooting, familiar with the military, is a rare talent, after the Anshi Rebellion, because of the shame of An Lushan of the same sex, was given the surname Li, Tang Xuanzong changed his name to Baoyu, and later generations remembered the name Li Baoyu.

With so many big people sitting here, Li An suddenly felt that he was too small, but he was also a skill, and he also had a thousand years of historical precipitation, and his reputation in the future may not be worse than these people, so thinking about it, Li An's heart calmed down a lot.

In the small main hall, Li An and everyone talked about the topic of leading troops to fight, especially Li An's raid on the camp of the Tibetan army with 300 warriors, beheading Li Tianlong, the general of the Tibetan army, and severely damaging the 5,000 elite of the Tibetan army, which won the sincere praise of Ge Shuhan.

For Li An's invention of skis and the use of skis to quickly maneuver in the field, attacking the small cavalry of the Tibetan army everywhere, everyone also expressed strong interest and asked to see it for themselves.

Li An naturally did not refute everyone's face, and immediately asked Zhang Erniu to bring a pair of skis, and personally explained the use and function of the skis.

Wang Zhongsi and several generals were greatly interested in Ang Li's explanation, and insisted that Ang Li demonstrate it in person to open their eyes.

The back garden of Zhang Qiqiu's mansion has a large area full of snow, and the terrain is also a little undulating, and Li Ang personally performed skiing skills here, flying back and forth in the snow, making Wang Zhongsi and others stunned.

They are all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and they immediately saw the military value of skis from Ang Lee's performance, and exchanged and discussed with each other and expressed their opinions.

In the evening, Ge Shuhan and other generals returned to the camp outside the city to check the situation of the camp, while Wang Zhongji stayed at Zhang Qiqiu's mansion and talked with Li An for more than an hour in his study.

When there are many people, Wang Zhongsi has a lot of things that are not easy to say to Ang Lee, but in a private space, he can communicate with Ang Lee as he wants.

He guessed a little about Li Wu's disappearance, and through Li An's answer, he completely understood that Li Wu was indeed plotted, and this person was An Lushan, the governor of Yingzhou.

Wang Zhongsi can sit on the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, naturally has extraordinary strength, and at the same time knows a lot of truths, he knows that An Lushan will never assassinate Li Wu for a trivial matter, there must be some kind of force behind this, and this force, he can also guess a rough idea.

"Okay, do you know why An Lushan wanted to assassinate your father?"

Li An was stunned suddenly, and said in his heart, 'An Lushan is a big bastard, he can't do anything, does he still need a reason to harm others?' ’

"Uncle, nephew don't know?"

Wang Zhongji sighed slightly: "Then do you know who your father is loyal to?" ”

Li An was stunned again: "My father is a military captain of Datang Pinglu, so he is naturally loyal to Datang, why does my uncle ask so?" ”

Wang Zhongsi nodded slightly, he understood that Li An didn't know that Li Wu was a princeling, Li Wu didn't say it, Yan Zhenqing didn't say it, and he couldn't tell Li An directly.

After all, forming a party for personal gain has been criticized, and Li An is still a hairy boy, and he may not understand that loyalty to the prince is related to the future fate of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not appropriate to rashly tell him.

"It's okay, there are some things that my uncle is not easy to tell you, but you have to remember that your father and I are both loyal ministers loyal to Datang, and we have no second heart for Datang."

Wang Zhongsi stared at Li An and said seriously.

Li An nodded lightly: "Uncle, nephew understands." ”

###

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Zhonghei personally led 3,000 elite cavalry, starting from the south gate of Anbian City, and rushed to the upper reaches of the Sanggan River where the Tibetan army was entrenched.

Because the snow march is quite physically demanding, for this reason, most of the 500 Yokono troops wore skis to move forward, and when going uphill, they walked more freely, without getting stuck in the snow, and when going downhill, they moved like flying.

Looking at the hundreds of soldiers of the Hengye Army, sliding from the top of the hill into the distance in an instant, Wang Zhongsi and his subordinates all showed happy expressions, and the three thousand cavalry soldiers under his command were even more stunned by this spectacular scene.

"It's fine, if it's downhill all the way, I think the infantry of the Hengye Army will run faster than the cavalry."

Wang Zhongsi smiled from ear to ear.

Li An nodded lightly: "What Uncle said is that this ski is specially designed for snow, as long as the snow is thick enough, when going uphill and flat, it is faster than the cavalry." ”

This is true, if the snow is three feet thick, the cavalry's horse legs are afraid that they will not be able to pull out even if they are stuck in the snow, and the infantry will not be able to move an inch, but they can put on skis and can advance in the snow without hurrying, which can be described as a snow travel artifact.

The army marched at a very fast pace, and in the afternoon it entered the area of Barbed Mountain, less than thirty miles from the area where the Tibetan army was assembled, and after stopping for a period of rest, the army set out again.

###

On the east bank of the Lulu River, Li Tagu and the 5,000 elite cavalry under his command lined up the formation to meet the battle, and not far ahead, there was the cavalry of the Tang Army that was adjusting the formation.

By the setting sun, Li Tagu could clearly see the neatness of the Tang army's cavalry formation, and his heart was a little nervous.

Li Tagu had 5,000 cavalry under his command, and the Tang army only had 3,000, so he had a relatively large advantage in terms of strength.

Occupying two advantages gave Li Tagu a lot of confidence, and finally decided to start a head-on battle with the Tang army, using the scimitar in his hand to prove his strength.

The dusk sun shone on Wang Zhonghe's face, so that he had to squint his eyes to look at the Fan army in front of him, he had no fear of the Fan army with stronger troops than himself, in his opinion, the Fan army cavalry was by no means the opponent of the elite cavalry under his command.

"Order, the Yokono Army will watch the battle on the spot, and all the cavalry will prepare to attack."
