Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi glanced at each other, and nodded tacitly, they both understood Li An's intentions, but the street was not the place to talk, and it was not too late to go back.

In the main hall of Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, Guo Ziyi took out Wang Zhonghe's instructions and said softly: "The commander has an order, let my Hengye army stick to Anbian City, and I will not fight without an order." ”

Li An was slightly stunned, took a look at it personally, and said suddenly: "Wang Jieshuai asked the Hengye Army to hold the city, most likely because he felt that there were only a few hundred people left in the Hengye Army, which was not enough to pose a substantial threat to the Fan Army, he didn't trust the Hengye Army, and the two generals really planned to stick to it without fighting?" ”

Zhang Qiqiu looked helpless: "The military order is like a mountain, and the marshal personally gave the order, so we naturally have to obey it." ”

Guo Ziyi also nodded lightly in approval.

Seeing this, Li An was a little unhappy, at this time, the situation between the enemy and us had begun to reverse, how could such a good opportunity be easily missed.

"The soldiers and horses of the Fan army have been evacuated, and Anbian City has no worries about losing it, and I feel that as long as the soldiers of the Hengye Army try their best to ask for battle, the commander will definitely agree."

Guo Ziyi looked up at Zhang Qiqiu, and said with a straight face: "The last general and his subordinate generals are willing to join forces to fight." ”

Zhang Qiqiu nodded lightly, there was no objection, and at the favorable time when the reinforcements arrived, he also hoped that the Hengye Army under his command would be able to make meritorious contributions.

In the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, Li Tagu, the leader of the Nujun Tribe, deployed an army of 15,000 at the confluence of the Sanggan River and the Lulu River, preparing to meet the Tang army reinforcements head-on, providing enough time for the transfer of tens of thousands of horses and horses of the tribe.

As a nomadic people, the Nujun Department did not have too many pots and pots, so Li Tagu only needed to block it for two or three days, and the tribesmen and horses could enter Yanzhou smoothly and return to the Raole Du Governor's Mansion soon.

On this trip to the south, his tribe lost a lot of men and horses, but at the same time, he also plundered a lot of property, and collected a lot of hay for the tribe's cattle and sheep.

"Report, chief, the Tang army is guarding 7,000 men and horses from the west, according to which less than 50 miles, the 3,000 cavalry from Shuofang are walking along the south bank of the Lushui River, and there is an intention to detour behind our army."

When Li Tagu heard this, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, he did not expect that the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Military Region would dare to divide the troops to fight, and he actually planned to use the strength of 10,000 horses to attack his 15,000 men and horses in front and back.

However, if the 3,000 cavalry of the Tang Army really made a detour to the east bank of the Lushui River, the retreat of the 15,000 cavalry under his command would be cut off.

After being attacked by Li An's hundred-man troops, Li Tagu's confidence in the cavalry under his command became very insufficient, and he had no confidence in victory in the face of the capture of Yunzhong with less than half of his troops.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tagu issued an order for 10,000 cavalry to continue to hold on to their positions, and 5,000 elite cavalry to cross the Lulu River with him, preparing to meet the 3,000 Tang cavalry reinforcements from Shuofang.

Li Tagu felt that the 3,000 cavalry of the Tang Army came from Shuofang to reinforce them, and they were a tired division along the way, and their strength was definitely weaker than the 7,000 main force captured in the clouds.

###

The 3,000 elite cavalry led by Wang Zhongsi personally traveled along the south bank of the Lushui River, and the Anbian City, where the Hengye Army was stationed, was on the south bank of the Lushui River, so Wang Zhongsi's troops had to pass through the Anbian City.

Outside the south gate of Anbian City, the generals such as Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi, the envoys of the Hengye Army, all lined up to greet him, waiting for Wang Zhonghei's arrival.

As the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu and the weighted envoy of Zhihedong Jiedu, Wang Zhongsi holds great power and is a veritable feudal official, while Zhang Qiqiu is just a small Hengye military envoy, and his official position is far lower than that of Wang Zhonghe, and because of his own mistakes, the main force of the Hengye Army was annihilated, which made him have to be cautious and win Wang Zhonghe's favor with great piety.

Outside the wide open south gate of Anbian City, in addition to heavyweights such as Zhang Qiqiu, the 500 soldiers of the Hengye Army and many welcoming people also stood outside the city, looking very pompous.

Five miles outside the south gate of Anbei City, Shuo Fang Jiedu made Wang Zhongsi ride his horse slowly, and behind him were several of his right-hand men.

This time to reinforce Ulzhou, he only brought 3,000 cavalry, not that he underestimated the angry army, but the main army was in the north of Shuofang, and it was difficult to reinforce it in a short time, so it was helpless to take such a risk.

After hearing that the main force of the Hengye Army was completely annihilated by the Fan army, Wang Zhongsi was shocked, greatly surprised by the strength of the Fan army, and even moved the idea of mobilizing the main army to return to Ulzhou.

However, as the remnants of the Hengye Army stabilized their positions, thwarted the siege of the Tibetan army again and again, and then broke the 5,000 elite of the Tibetan army with 300 soldiers and horses, Wang Zhongsi gradually relaxed and accelerated to reinforcements to Ulzhou.

"Report, Jieshuai, Zhang Qiqiu, the envoy of the Hengye Army, personally led thousands of people and waited for Jieshuai outside the south gate."

When Wang Zhongsi heard this, his expression was very displeased, and he said softly: "This Zhang Qiqiu, in order to meet Ben Shuai, actually mobilized thousands of people, I really don't know how to sympathize with the people. ”

"Jieshuai, maybe these people are spontaneous, and they want to see the demeanor of Jieshuai, no wonder Zhang June."

Wang Zhongsi smiled lightly and pointed at the general: "Ge Shuhan, you are very good at speaking for others, what benefits did Zhang Qiqiu give you?" ”

Ge Shuhan smiled innocently, his sycophancy is not big or small, and he is in the arms of Wang Zhonghe, as Wang Zhonghe, who became the envoy of the festival at the age of thirty-six, conceit and arrogance are indispensable, and occasionally he is gently praised, and his mood is still comfortable.

"The last general, the Hengye Army, made Zhang Qiqiu knock to see Wang Jieshuai."

Zhang Qiqiu took the lead in saluting Wang Zhonghei, and Guo Ziyi and others all followed suit.

Wang Zhongsi looked serious and shouted: "Zhang Qiqiu, you are guilty. ”

When Zhang Qiqiu heard this, he trembled involuntarily, and said with his head bowed: "The last general is guilty, and the last general is careless for a while, so that the main force of the Hengye Army will be annihilated, please punish the marshal." ”

Seeing that Zhang Qiqiu's attitude was quite respectful, Wang Zhongsi nodded lightly and said loudly: "The Fan army dug people's ancestral graves outside the city, causing an uproar in the whole army, your helplessness, the commander is also clear, but, as the commander of the first army, how can you be led by the nose by your subordinates without assertiveness, you can do it yourself!" ”

"Xie Jieshuai taught him a lesson."

Wang Zhongsi looked up behind Zhang Qiqiu and asked loudly, "Guo Ziyi, Li Anke?" ”

"The end will be."

"The villain is here."

Guo Ziyi and Li An answered at the same time, and looked at Wang Zhonghei with their heads held high.

Wang Zhongsi stared at Guo Ziyi and Li An, his expression was full of appreciation, he had been riding all his life, and it could be judged from his body shape that Guo Ziyi and Li An were both warriors in a million.

"What a pillar of the country." Wang Zhongsi sighed, and then ordered: "Everyone get up, don't kneel." ”

"General Xie."

Zhang Qiqiu and his subordinates slowly got up and stood on both sides of the road.

Wang Zhongsi continued to look at Li An, he always had a very familiar feeling, and Li An was also looking at Wang Zhongsi, this is a famous general that has been passed down through the ages! If you can take a second look, you can take a more look, and you still expect to follow others in the future?

"Your name is Ang Lee?"

Wang Zhongsi frowned and looked at Li An, his expression a little surprised.

And the generals behind him, Ge Shuhan and other generals, were all looking at Li An, and they were all surprised by Li An's proud record.

After all, Li An is only a young young man, and he has never served in the army, and he is not a Datang soldier, but he has achieved a proud record that far exceeds that of Datang soldiers.

Li An first used a suspicious tactic to scare off more than 10,000 elites of the Tibetan army and save Zhang Qiqiu, and then, twice used the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole to completely annihilate the spies of the Tibetan army who had mixed into Anbian City, ensuring the internal stability of Anbian City.

Then, he took the initiative to ask Ying, with more than 300 inferior troops of soldiers and horses, raided the camp of the Tibetan army, personally beheaded Li Tianlong, the general of the Tibetan army, and beat the 5,000 elites of the Tibetan army to the point of urine, which greatly shocked the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army.

In the end, with a small force of only 100 people, they rushed back and forth within a radius of 100 miles, and annihilated nearly 1,000 men and horses of the Tibetan army at the cost of zero casualties, so that the Tibetan army was frightened when they heard the Hengye army, and the children stopped crying at night when they heard the Hengye army.

Li An's four proud achievements made all the generals of the Tang Army, including Wang Zhongsi, feel very incredible, and even seriously suspect that this was caused by the Hengye Army's envoy Zhang Qiqiu's praise of the results of the battle.

"Uncle, the little nephew is Li An."

From Wang Zhongsi's surprised eyes, Li An had already guessed that he remembered Li Wu, and for this reason, he directly began to set up.

Uncle?

As soon as Li An's words came out, many people were shocked, Ge Shuhan and other generals were suddenly stunned, and looked at Li An and Wang Zhongsi in surprise, while Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi and others were also confused.

However, Wang Zhongsi laughed out loud and pointed at Li An: "Hahaha! You are actually Li Wu's son, why are you so familiar? ”

"The little nephew looks too much like his father, but the uncle can recognize it at a glance, by the way, the little nephew still has Uncle Yan's letter here, uncle, please take a look."

In order to further prove his identity, Li An handed over the handwritten letter of Yan Zhenqing in his arms to Wang Zhonghei.

Wang Zhongsi stretched out his hand to take the letter, and skimmed it hastily, his mood was quite complicated, he traveled all the way, and heard that there was a person named Li An in Anbian City, and he was very curious, but he didn't expect this surprising Li An to be the son of his best friend.

"Yan Zhenqing, this kid, has been sitting in the position of supervising the imperial history for ten years, and he is very comfortable?" Wang Zhongsi has fought in the north and south for many years and has suffered a lot, but in comparison, Yan Zhenqing's position is indeed too comfortable.

After putting away the letter, Wang Zhongsi glanced at Li An: "Li An, you seem to have something to say." ”

Li An smiled lightly and arched his hand: "Uncle, nephew asks for battle for the Hengye Army." ”

Seeing this, Guo Ziyi hurriedly glanced at the generals behind him, and knelt down and said, "Jie Shuai, the last general is willing to go to battle with the army." ”

"The last general is willing to go into battle with the army."

All the soldiers of the Yokoye Army asked for their orders together.
