The concerted efforts of all the generals, especially the goodwill of Duan Zhixian's faction in the middle of the army, reassured Li Jing, who was originally worried. What he was most afraid of was not the first time he led his troops to meet the Turks, but the most afraid of internal instability, which was very easy to be broken by the Turks.

"Good! Valued by all the generals, I will live up to your trust and will definitely be defeated by foreign Tatars in the future, please take a seat. Li Jing got up excitedly and said in return.

"Great marshal, our army has already discovered that the Turkic vanguard has entered the territory of our Dingxiang, I don't know what the marshal has to plan to break the enemy?" Veteran Yin Kaishan asked.

"When the Turkic front entered our Dingxiang, they gradually broke away from the desert and entered the mountains, and the terrain was favorable to our army. The city here is small, and the commander intends to divide the men and horses into two parts, one of which is 50,000 people to stay in this city, and defend it with the city wall, although the city wall is not tall enough, but it is enough to resist the Turkic cavalry. A group of 100,000 men and horses went to the mountains and forests ten miles east of the city, and dragged the Turkic cavalry under the mountain by virtue of the mountainous terrain. Our two groups of men and horses are each other's horns, there is no need to take the initiative to provoke the Turks, just drag them for a few days, and after the main force of the Turkic rear army has entered our Dingxiang realm, the Jin army Xue Wanchun will intercept and kill its baggage and grain and grass from the rear of Yanmen and cut off its way back. And the 50,000 elites of the Yulin Jin Army's Shang Master and Apprentice Department will also gallop from the west to help me Dingxiang, and they will arrive within a few days. At that time, the two armies of our Tang and Jin Dynasty will be able to form an encirclement of the Turkic army that has invaded the territory, and this battle will be won. Li Jing said tactical ideas to Yin Kaishan and to the generals, and the generals couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Marshal, it seems that the arrangement of my Tang army in this way has become a bait, if the Jin army does not have two people, then our army will also be in an extremely dangerous situation, but we know that our army does not have much food and grass." Duan Zhixian asked with some hesitation.

"If that is the case, our army will abandon Dingxiang and retreat to Mayi, but our army still has half of its footmen, and even if we retreat to Mayi City, we will definitely suffer great losses. However, General Duan's concerns are really too much to worry about, and this commander expects that Xue Wanchun's troops will definitely send troops according to the agreement. If it is a breach of contract, then what is the face of King Jin? Letting the Turks enter the country was not beneficial to the Jin army. There is no need to cease war with Ben Shuai to defend against foreign enemies, General Duan, what do you say? ”

"Hmmm! The handsome man is reasonable, and he will be worry-free! ”

"Good! The generals listened to the order, and General Yin Kaishan led Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu to lead 100,000 troops to the east of the city to occupy the Yanqiu Heights, cut off the road from the Turkic cavalry to the direction of Mayi from the foot of Yanqiu Mountain, and held it for 10 days, and could not retreat half a step within 10 days. ”

"The last general commands." Yin Kaishan and the other three generals got up and answered.

"Remember, when you get to the mountain, you must find a water source as soon as possible, otherwise even if the Turkic cavalry does not attack the mountain, you will be defeated by lack of water." Li Jing told Yin Kaishan and the other three generals.

"Please rest assured, the high ground is very vast, and there will be a stream and a spring in the back mountain. The terrain is extremely favorable to me, and there should be no problem in keeping it for 10 days. "Yin Kaishan Road.

"Good! After they went, they dug more trenches on the hillsides and set up more deer fences to prevent the Turkic cavalry from riding uphill, so it is not surprising that the Turks lost their cavalry advantage. ”

"The last will obey."

"Ben Shuai and General Duan together led 50,000 horses to garrison this Dingxiang city, and used this city to resist the Turkic cavalry attack."

"Yes, Marshal, the last general will obey the general's orders." Duan Zhixian got up and replied.

"Okay, let's see how General Xue will attack him and mess up his phalanx. When the Turks did not arrive in the city, General Duan first drove the Turks in the city outside the city with the Dou County Government to prevent them from causing chaos in the city. ”

"Huh! Okay, the commander is thoughtful, and the general will do it in the end, so as to ensure that there is not a single alien barbarian in the city. ”

Seeing that Li Jing had a careful arrangement and a good arrangement, Yin Kaishan put his mind at ease, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early that day, he ordered 100,000 horses to go out of the city and go straight to the Yanqiu Mountains in the east of the city. As soon as his men and horses moved, the entire Dingxiang City entered a state of imminent war, and there were not a few people who fled with the Turkic merchants who were driven out of the city.

After several days of running, the elite cavalry of the 30,000 Eagle Division led by the Turkic Jieli Prince finally entered the boundary of Dingxiang County before nightfall, and the grassland behind him gradually disappeared, replaced by endless hills and mountains, although the mountains are not tall, but the hilly mountain roads between the mountains are not wide and uneven, which limits the speed of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing that the speed of the march had slowed down, and there was even some congestion, Dalit, the military division of the army, said to Prince Jieli: "Little prince, our army is only dozens of miles away from Dingxiang City, and it is late today, and our cavalry is not conducive to walking on mountain roads at night, so it is better to camp here, and we can go to Dingxiang City at noon tomorrow." ”

"Good! It was also a day on the horse, and the order was given to camp here and rest, and then go again tomorrow. Jieli nodded in agreement.

After a strange sound of steppe horns, the Turkic cavalry slowed down their march, and finally all stopped on the spot, and each dismounted to find the flat grassland where the camp was stationed, and there was no confusion.

Night falls, and the moon shines. Countless bonfires were scattered among the cols, and the sound of people and horses echoed in the mountains.

On top of a huge cedar tree not far away, two Jin troops, an old man and a young man, were waiting for the colonel, who were observing the Turkic army in the mountain col.

"Don't worry, after the Tartars go to bed in the middle of the night, it's not too late to report back to the camp." The veteran whispered to the young colonel.

"Big brother, how do you know the number of Tartar cavalry? How to reciprocate? ”

"Humph! After following this way, how can you not know the number of Tartar cavalry? However, about 30,000, with the equipment of scimitars, bows and arrows, these 30,000 tartars are not enough for our army to eat. In the second half of the night, you go back to the camp to report first, and the eldest brother will go to the rear of the Tartar army to explore and see how many troops he has? How far away is that? ”

"Yes, big brother, be careful."

"Huh! It's not that the big brother is bluffing you, it's a dream for the Tartars to catch me in this forest. If their whereabouts are revealed, it is nothing more than leading them around the mountains a few more times. ”

The two Jin soldiers waited on the branch of the tree and snickered quietly while observing the enemy's situation, only an owl on the branch not far away stared at the two of them.

In a mountain forest near the desert in Yanmen County, Xue Wanchun's 100,000 horses were quietly ambushed here, unlike the Turks, there was no light here, all the soldiers were forbidden, and even each war horse had a piece of wooden stick in its mouth, and the whole army was silently waiting for the order to attack in the dark.

In the dark night, Xue Wanchun was discussing with the general Qin Qiong in a whisper.

"Brother Shubao, according to the Malay report, there are about 30,000 Turkic forwards, who have entered the Dingxiang realm, camped in the mountain col, and will arrive at the foot of Dingxiang City tomorrow. Ben Shuai estimated that the Turkic soldiers and horses would be able to reach the Dingxiang boundary in 3 days at the latest, and our army would need to lie dormant in this mountain for at least 3 days, and it would not be discovered by the Turkic spies, which was not a small difficulty! ”

"General Xue doesn't have to worry, as long as our army does not smoke during the day and does not light fire at night, the Tartars will have no way of knowing the whereabouts of our army. Moreover, the last general has sent the Fan Hu brothers to lead dozens of servants, accompanied by woodcutters in the mountains, and wait exclusively on various mountain roads. ”

"Hmmm! Or Uncle Bao is thoughtful and prepared. ”

"Huh! Presumably, the general also knew that the last general and the second brother of Fan and Lian were originally official fast catchers, and in the past, they arrested bandits in the mountains, and dealt with mountain bandits who pretended to be woodcutters and fishermen. ”

"Huh! Brother Shubao is a great talent, in order to fight the Turkic Tartars, the lord made a special trip to recruit his brother to help here, if this battle is a big victory, the future of the brother will be far better than so. ”

"Alas! A delusional general is two years old, and he has spent many years in a daze, and his vision is not as good as your Xue brothers, especially on your mother's birthday last year, not only did he snub your two brothers, but he also missed the opportunity to make friends with his father-in-law, and he was ashamed of his brother. ”

"Alas~ Brother Shubao has won the award, even if my two brothers made friends with the lord in front, I didn't know the true identity of the lord at that time, and I went to Licheng together for a few days all the way, but I was also concealed by the lord, I just thought that the lord was a rich son! Hehe! ”

"Hehehehe---" Not only the two of them, but also Lian Ming and the guards around him couldn't help but laugh softly when they heard it.

Luoyang.

Since Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin returned from the capital, they have not stopped in the backyard of Yang Erxing Palace for a day, and the sound of "ping pong" has been heard all day long, just like opening a blacksmith shop in the palace.

This is Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin, who can't stay idle, get up early every day, and constantly practice and learn martial arts. Uncle Ma, who lived alone next door, complained several times in front of Yang Er, and the reason that he couldn't sleep was rejected by Yang Er, and he even said that the child in his wife's womb couldn't hear the sound of knives and guns, which affected the growth of the fetus, which made Yang Er have to deal with it, so he had to let Wang Dai accompany him and his wife to find another courtyard in the palace to live in peace, but fortunately, Wang Shichong has a lot of courtyards in this palace.

On this day, when Yang Er was dealing with official business in the war room, he suddenly heard Liang Shitai and Luo Cheng arguing outside. So he put down the brush in his hand and instructed Zhong Jian behind him: "Go and call the two of you into the house to talk." ”

After a while, I saw Zhong Jian leading Liang Shitai, Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin into the room.

"My lord, the last general can't stop General Luo, he insists that there is something important." Liang Shitai was a little depressed and preemptively said.

"What could he do? Most of them can't be idle, let's talk about it! ”

"Big brother, the younger brother has been back for a few days, and he has rested enough, in the daily competition with Luo Zi, he feels that his marksmanship has improved, and he wants to find a battlefield to test, and now I heard that Qin Qiong's cousin went to Yanmen, and the younger brother asked to ride alone to cast it, and the Turks can test the gun, and I hope that the eldest brother will allow it."

"If you go, who will bring the 30,000 elite horsemen? Let Luo Zi bring it? Yang Er was a little amused, so he put the question out and asked Luo Cheng.

"Brother--- brother! Luo --- Luo Zi also wanted to go ---, but he didn't want to bring --- and soldiers with ---. Luo Shixin actually rushed to speak, looking anxious and panicked, which was different from the silence in the past.

"Big brother, Luo Zi won't stutter as long as he goes to the battlefield now, and he will talk and walk with that mouth! If you agree to go straight to Yanmen with the two of us, my White Horse Battalion can be handed over to General Liang Shitai to take charge of it. ”

"Humph! Monkey business. Do you know that Brother Wei not only recruited Qin Qiong to be the general of Yanmen, but also recruited the former Tongguan generals Shang Shifu and Xin Wenli to Yanmen as generals, and Xue Wanchun has no shortage of generals. Isn't it suspected that you are stealing merit when you go? How will you let Brother Wei face him in the future? ”

"Huh? Master Shang and Xin Wenli, two famous generals, have gone? That, that--- alas! Luo Cheng was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't know how to answer. As a general, the most taboo thing is to snatch the credit of others on the battlefield, and if you are one step late, it is difficult to say.

"Besides, even if the faction is over, it won't be your turn! In western Jinxi, there are now 250,000 troops of General Wu Tianxi, as well as a group of heroes such as Shan Xiongxin waiting to make contributions; There is also General Xiongkuohai and his 100,000 horses not far from Jinyang City. If these generals are not sent nearby, but they want to send generals from Luoyang, how can this convince the public? ”

"This ---" Luo Cheng was even more speechless when he heard it, and his face was embarrassed.

"If you can't be idle, so be it! Show your brother a place to go, and he may be able to find a fighter for you to be strong. Yang Er also knew that this Luo Cheng was a martial idiot, and he couldn't let him go into battle for a long time, so he had an idea as soon as his mind turned.

"Big brother, tell me quickly, where is there a vacancy for generals?" Luo Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Let's go to Xuyi! Go and vote for the old country Gong He Ruobi. Uncle He is old, and his subordinates Jiao Fang and Wu Kui's two generals are average in martial arts, so they can't be generals, and you can make up for this lack if you go. ”

"Good! The younger brother went to Uncle He to find some merit, but if he had merit, he returned to the eldest brother. It's just this Luo Zi---"

"You are the main general, Luo Zi is your deputy general, you two go together, by the way, take your white horse from the battalion soldiers to go together. When Uncle He saw the two of you leading the army to arrive, he knew that he was a brother, and he went to obey Uncle He's will, and he should not be self-righteous and mess up the rules. ”

"Yes, how dare the younger brother not listen to Uncle He's orders? Big brother rest assured. gone, Luo Zi is ready to start work. After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he grabbed Luo Shixin and bowed his hand and left with a smile.

"Lord, you really let the two of them go to General He's place! Wouldn't it add to the chaos? Liang Shitai asked puzzled.

"Alas! Do you think Luo Cheng is an idle person? Even Luo Shixin was provoked by him, and he just wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy. Fortunately, there are still you by the king's side, and there is no need to idle his 30,000 elites. Besides, this king has long had the intention of capturing the two strongholds of Nanchen north of the Yangtze River, Jiangdu and Jiangyang. Luo Chenger will go to Xuyi, which is more conducive to the achievement of this goal, and it depends on how Uncle He uses them. ”

"In this case, the last general will not say anything, and the last general will retire."

"Wait! Yesterday, the king let the dust girl count the auspicious day, and the day after tomorrow is the auspicious day of Shangjia's zodiac, that is, the day when Shitai marries Wang Qingying. This king asked Sister Dai to go and say hello to Wang Qingying, let Zhang Heng be the matchmaker, and this king will prepare a lottery for you, and you will marry her into the door the day after tomorrow. ”

"This ---, will thank the lord!" Liang Shitai was ecstatic in his heart when he heard this, and he knelt down to thank him.

"Huh! Go get ready! ”

Watching Liang Shitai leave happily, Yang Er also felt happy in his heart, thanks to his Liang family's funding when he started his family, this love must be repaid.

It's just that in history, this Wang Qingying was the down-and-out Shan Xiongxin who threw the hydrangea and recruited him as his husband, but now because of his appearance, there is no longer anything to do with Shan Xiongxin.
