At this time, just as Xue Ne and Lu Zheng were uneasy in the restaurant, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and when the door was pushed open, Xue Ne saw that it was An Sishun. An Sishun was originally going to follow Wang Hui and Guo Zhiyun, but he was instructed by Wang Hui to guard Lanzhou City.

An Sishun said at this time: "The two of you can still be so leisurely. It is reported that Wang Haibin had penetrated deep behind enemy lines and was fighting with the Tibetan army at this time. ”

Xue Ne remained sober and said: "It stands to reason that Wang Haibin's department is in a victorious posture, chasing all the way, and it should have a greater chance of victory. ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile at this time: "General An, sit down, I thought that General Wang Haibin would be able to win, and I have also felt the Tubo army in his camp, the military discipline is very loose, and it is difficult to match my Tang army here." ”

After An Sishun sat down, he smelled the wine, and saw that Xue Ne was already too strong to continue drinking, so he moved the wine aside and said: "Xue Shuai should go back to the official office, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and if our army returns to the city with a great victory, the general will have to wait in the city to greet him, so as to pacify the soldiers." ”

"I know, but I also saw that the outcome was decided today, so I came here with Lu Zheng, but I passed through here. To put it simply, it's because the battlefield situation is better now that I'm so comfortable. Since you say so, then follow your words and go. ”

So the two of them supported Xue Ne and walked out of the restaurant, at this time, a soldier in the distance rode a horse and galloped wildly, and knelt in front of Xue Ne and said: "According to the front-line battle report, this Tubo army is fighting with our army tenaciously at this time because it is surrounded. ”

Xue Ne immediately sobered up at this time and said, "What, the Tubo army can still fight back, and return to the official office quickly." ”

After Xue Ne returned to the official office, he stared at the map on the case in a daze, this time he was extremely confused and didn't say anything for a long time, while An Sishun and Lu Zheng on the side were speechless.

Lu Zheng said at this time: "This Tubo army is because our army is persecuted too much, so we can order the generals to let go of the encirclement and let Qili Xu lead his troops to escape, so that the pressure on our army will be greatly reduced." ”

"That can only make Qili Xu, an old thief, report back to Tibet."

At this time, Xenne sent this temporary order out quickly, and then lay down on his chair, praying in his heart for a complete victory in the battle. When he left Beijing, he made a promise in front of the Ming Emperor, saying: "This battle is bound to make the enemy army no longer invade the border for 20 years, and when the enemy chief is killed on the battlefield, the enemy country will bow down, and the main force of our army will be preserved." ”

But now the situation is a little unclear, the Tibetan army has entered the encirclement, this life and death at the moment, the Tibetan army is still strong, maybe it will rise to war. When the time comes, the two armies will be intertwined, and the casualties will be large.

Xue Ne suddenly turned over at this time, looked at An Sishun and Lu Zheng on the side, and said, "How long have you surrounded Tubo now?" ”

"It's been almost an hour."

At this time, Xue Ne stood up and glanced outside the official office, the branches and leaves of the trunk of the tree were scattered in the wind, and the whole tree was languishing, Xue Ne sighed to himself: "When the leaves are all over the ground, I hope the general will return safely." ”

Lu Zheng looked at the strong atmosphere in the mansion at this time, so he said to Xue Ne: "Why don't you send a large army to help at this time?" ”

"It's late, it's an hour, and there are more than 100,000 troops on both sides, and it's already the last moment." An Sishun spoke in a gloomy tone.

Suddenly, he added, "My aunt doesn't have much time to get the message. ”

When Lu Zheng heard An Sishun say this, he could also think of the scene on the battlefield at this time, with blood flowing and drifting, all of which were the corpses of soldiers. However, he didn't know what the situation of the enemy and me was, but Lu Zheng felt that it might be the situation where the Tang army lost 800 of its own losses and annihilated 1,000 enemies. However, even in this case, as long as several important generals of our army can be returned safely, it will be considered a victory.

However, he had not received a battle report yet, and he wanted to know what the outcome would be, so at this time he was ready to step on his war horse and take people outside the city to inquire about the results of the battle.

However, he was stopped by An Sishun, and he said: "If General Xue wants to go to the battlefield outside the city, I don't think it should be like this, think about it, if Wang Haibin has an accident, it is also behind the enemy, and Wang Hui and Guo Zhiyun will definitely pursue the past, and there will be no result if you go." ”

Xue Ne felt that there was some truth when he heard this, so he calmed down in his heart, thinking that this Wanli Rong machine was not worried that it could be solved.

At this time, a soldier outside broke through the doorman and ran in, until he walked to Xue Ne and knelt half-down, bowed his head and cried: "The Tubo army slammed our army behind it, General Wang Haibin fought unyieldingly, and finally ......"

Xue Ne saw that this soldier also had injuries on his body, and his words whimpered and wept, and he said very sadly: "You go down to heal." ”

An Sishun and Lu Zheng's hearts hanging at this time can never fall to the ground, both of them also hid their faces and cried, Xue Ne endured his grief for a long time, and said to Lu Zheng and An Sishun: "In this case, let's go out of the city, the war should be over at this time." ”

When the three of them walked out of the official office, they saw that there were people standing on both sides of the city gate, which was the return of the Tang army to the city. Wang Hui and Guo Zhiyun did not ride on a horse, but carried a wooden plank with their hands. Xue Ne and the three of them hurriedly went up and saw that it was Wang Haibin lying on it.

The red blood on the crown soaked his face and couldn't see clearly, and the hair was scattered, Xue Ne and the others couldn't help crying again, and after a long time he said: "The death of a country should be treated with honor." ”

So Xue Ne asked people to quickly return to Beijing to report General Wang Haibin's sacrifice for the country, even if he did not leave the court to mourn this time, he would let Yousi announce this matter to the world. What kind of behavior the Ming Emperor had is still to be guessed, and Xue Ne believes that the army must worship General Wang Haibin.

Along the way, Lu Zheng walked next to Wang Haibin, thinking back to the days when he got along with Wang Haibin not long ago, although Wang Haibin had a bold personality, he was brave and loyal, and he was the best choice to lead the army to kill, but he was too brave and reckless, but he died.

At this time, Lu Zheng was weeping again, if it weren't for Wang Haibin's desperate life, this battle would not have been able to defeat the Tubo army once and for all and dare not make a border for several years. All the generals also knew this in their hearts, and Wang Haibin's achievements in this battle were immeasurable.

The people behind carried Wang Haibin across the whole street, and the people around them lowered their heads and were silent, and after Wang Haibin was buried thickly, all the generals were ready to lead the army back to their respective stations.

When the army went out of the city, Wang Hui and Xue Ne and Lu Zheng totaled and decided that Lu Zheng and Xue Ne would enter Beijing to face the saint, Wang Hui's implication was that the Anbei Protectorate had little to do for the time being, and Lu Zheng could not only let the military department give him an official position after entering Beijing, but also take Wang Haibin's widow. And Xue Ne also wanted to inform Yu Que Ting about the before and after of this battle, and having Lu Zheng in front of him would have the effect of assisting.
