Listening to Feng Feima, the old handsome Tang Zhen still attached great importance to these three thousand Golden Horde soldiers, and he asked Tang Yuan to use these Golden Horde soldiers lightly.

What the old marshal means is to use these 3,000 people to give an example to the enemy army, if they are doing well, many of the enemy army in the Western Regions who have been oppressed by new foreigners will take the initiative to move closer to us.

At the same time, Feng Feima also said a sentence that made Tang Yuan pay special attention.

He said: "It is said that in the altar of the Golden Horde, there is a superb war bow, called the sunset bow, which is the sacred object of their Golden Horde, it is said that their ancestors used it to take fire from the sun and call it the holy fire, this sunset bow is better than the dragon bone bow in your hand, and it is already a super nine-grade combat power." ”

Tang Yuan was surprised: "Super Nine Grades? Grand Master? ”

"Yes, there are four great grandmaster swordsmen in the world, but there is no great grandmaster archer, otherwise the bow would have been snatched away a long time ago, and now it is placed there, and no one can control it."

Tang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how powerful the Great Grandmaster is, he won't be able to snatch the holy relics from other people's altars, right?" ”

"No, that's not what they Golden Horde say, their Grand Elder will give the bow to someone who can wield it, because they believe that this person is the ancestral reincarnation of the Golden Horde, and no one but him can wield it." Scout Feng Pegasus was one of the thirteen scouts selected by Tang Qi, this kid ran around all day and got a lot of news, Tang Yuan was not surprised that he could know this.

The most important thing is that these words were said by Tang Zhen, the old man is seventy-three years old and well-informed, so it is not surprising that he can know this.

After getting these news, Tang Yuan went to chat with Cao Baobao, and he asked, "How many small tribe teams like you are in the team of new foreigners?" ”

Cao Baobao finally had enough to eat, and said: "When I was fine, I roughly calculated that the new foreigners had a total of about 150,000 troops, of which 30,000 were enslaved by them. We had 7,000 men, but we lost 4,000 in the war with you. Your soldiers are very powerful, they are not easy to fight, and your shield soldiers and spearmen are arrayed, and we can't do anything about you. The usual way of playing on the grassland doesn't work for you. ”

Tang Yuan said, "Who else can you contact?" ”

Cao Baobao asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

Tang Yuan said: "I think you also know that in fact, our Great Liang Dynasty is the most hopeful for peace, and you can surrender to the Liang Dynasty, whether it is me or Dashuai, I feel very gratified." At the same time, we will also treat you kindly, if you feel that our Daliang is sincere and worthy of reliance, you may as well pass the news to other tribes that have been oppressed by the new foreigners, and join Daliang together, and then we will unite you and rebuild your homeland together. ”

"Is General Tang's words serious?"

"There is no joke in the army."

"Okay, General Tang is willing to marry me?"

Tang Yuan looked at Cao Baobao, he was much older than himself, estimated to be in his early thirties, he didn't want to recognize himself as a big brother, he thought about it and said, "How old are you this year?" ”

"It doesn't matter," Cao Baobao said, "In our grassland, whoever is capable will be the eldest brother, and the daughter-in-law of the younger brother can also sleep with the eldest brother." ”

“…… Forget it, we Han people can't accept this. Tang Yuan said with a little embarrassment: "I respect your national habits, I won't evaluate, it's just what I told you just now, you can do it, when the time comes, you will make a big enough contribution, the imperial court will naturally not treat you badly, if you can eliminate Xinwai, you can also hand over their territory to your Golden Horde people, and establish a Golden Horde affiliated with the Great Liang." ”

"Does General Tang look down on me? You haven't answered me yet, do you want to marry me? ”

"It's okay to get married, but..., as a lieutenant general of the 18th Division, it's not good for me to be your junior brother."

"I think you are more capable than me, and I think you are a big brother."

It felt a little awkward, but Tang Yuan still agreed, so he accepted a little brother who was eight years older than him. Cao Baobao looks to be in his early thirties, but he is actually only twenty-eight years old, which is a bit surprising.

When Tang Yuan worshipped, he knew that their Golden Horde people all had Turkic names belonging to their own people, and the Han name was just a custom, his real name was "Chavushi Bobo", his parents felt that "baby" and "Bo Bo" were homophonic, and their family had the surname "Cao" from the Northern Wei Dynasty from the Three Kingdoms period, so he was called Cao Baobao.

This name seemed very auspicious to them, symbolizing the meaning of new life, but it sounded a little cute to Tang Yuan. So Tang Yuan changed his name to Cao Podi.

He seemed to like the name and agreed.

After stabilizing the three thousand people, Tang Yuan sent Feng Feima to find Tang Su and apply for a combat mission, but at this time a bad news came.

It is said that this army is an archer cavalry unit that galloped from the eastern grassland, and within seven days, the ninth division, the sixth division, the fifth division, the eighth division, and finally even the most powerful first division were disabled.

The news shook the whole army.

Da Sima ordered that all siege tasks be suspended, withdrawn to the occupied city, and the next battle plan was reformulated.

At this point, the pace of a rapid counterattack all the way stopped.

The combat history of the Western Expeditionary Army is just the opposite of the Northern Expeditionary Army, during the Northern Expedition, the male Jia people arranged defenses on the front line and fought very anxiously, but once they broke through the first line, the enemy army had already begun to collapse, so the Northern Expedition was difficult at the beginning, and easy at the back.

But the fight was smooth at the beginning, and the more it went on, the more troublesome it became.

At the beginning, the king of Sangla adopted a general attack strategy, but he failed to gnaw off the bone of Tang Su, but suffered from it, in the big counterattack, like a lost dog, retreated 800 miles, and now the king of Sangla is guarding Lanzhou, there are less than 30,000 people.

However, the fate of the king of Sangla was not extinct, and before the king of the new foreign khanate mobilized a new batch of reinforcements, a mysterious team ran in the eastern steppe, and the combat power of this team was terrifying.

It is said that there are not many people, only 50,000 people, but these 50,000 people are like a tornado on the grassland, leaving no armor everywhere they go.

It's really not a piece of armor left.,They seem to be particularly short of iron.,When they defeated the Tiger Army.,Clean up the battlefield and take away all the iron weapons.,It's like the Tiger Army encountered a group of poor and crazy robbers.。。

These people were extremely ruthless, and the first Ninth Army to encounter them, 10,000 people did not leave a single mouth alive. And the body of an enemy soldier on the battlefield was not found.

Da Sima Tang Zhen seemed to remember something, and said with a heavy face: "It may be from Donghu." As early as fifty years ago, when I, Meng Danqing, and Ximen Zhensen followed the Kaiping Emperor on an expedition to Mobei, there was such a Hu people on the Mobei grassland at that time, invading the Daliang frontier all the year round, the means were the same, and the combat power was fierce, which made people remember it vividly. ”
