"Master, let the little one be easy to find. The military department urgently ordered the master to rush to Wuwei County immediately to serve as the general of Wuwei. "The guys from the Chen Mansion went to the Li Mansion to report.

General Wu Wei is right in front of him.

When Mrs. Zhang heard the little girl's report, her face was full of smiles. In the financial competition just now, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Chen family had lost. Although there were only two pieces of silk in Guo Li's box, they were worth a thousand gold. The bride price brought by the Chen Mansion looks dazzling, and it is all useless in the flowers. At this moment, when he heard that Chen Duwei was promoted, suddenly the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

"Congratulations to Captain Chen on his promotion, Master Li, can this family affair be decided?"

The general of Wuwei County is a much bigger official than the Ledu County Order. Mrs. Zhang thinks that in Ledu County, no one will be older than General Wuwei County.

"General Chen, why don't you take office quickly due to the urgency of the military situation?" Guo Li looked at Duwei Chen and did not reveal his identity.

"It's not the turn of others to talk about the official's affairs." Chen Duwei said disdainfully.

At this moment, a bird like a white dove hovered in the air. Meng Haoran took out a birdcage and opened the cage, and the birds circled down in the air and happily burrowed into the birdcage. Meng Haoran took out the corn that had been prepared to feed the birds, and by the way, took out the news tied to the bird's legs.

"The city of Ningcheng was broken, and 50,000 Tibetan black horsemen appeared fifty miles south of Ganzhou."

The military situation is urgent, and Guo Li can only show his identity.

"General Chen, this commander ordered you to go to Wuwei County immediately to guard the city, and those who violate military law will be committed. This marshal Guo Li, the holy order to ask the general of the West. The matter here is left to Master Li to decide. ”

After Guo Li finished speaking, he led Meng Haoran and the others to go out, and Mrs. Zhang heard that the old bark fold face of the former relatives turned out to be the general of the West, and she sat on the ground in fright.

Chen Duwei knew that there would be no fake. General Yuxi came to Li Mansion to propose marriage, and his son was out of play.

When Wan An heard that Guo Li left in a hurry, he couldn't help but be worried.

……

Guo Li and his entourage went straight to Ganzhou.

"Marshal Qiqi, the Tubo cavalry was found ahead." When there were still 300 miles away from Ganzhou, spies came to report.

"How many?"

It is not a good thing to meet the Tibetan cavalry here. Guo Li only had 1,200 cavalry of the Liangshan Regiment around him. Although the shotgun is replaced by artillery and the foot soldier becomes a cavalryman, after all, it is not the same as a real cavalry.

"The other side is numerous, stretching for miles. It seems to be a baggage force escorting grain and grass. ”

"Revisit."

"Is Ziyi the idea of fighting this Tubo cavalry?" Meng Haoran asked.

"If it's just a small group of soldiers transporting grain and grass, it doesn't hurt to destroy it. If there are a large number of people on the other side, we have to walk around. ”

"It is impossible to annihilate the other party, and Tubo has always attached importance to the transportation of grain and grass. According to historical records, the Tubo people were good at transporting materials, and the Tubo people were in the bitter cold area, and the amount of food they went out to eat increased greatly. Therefore, the Tibetan people value grain and grass more than siege cities. ”

"Report, the other side has 2,000 people, 300 grain and grass carts."

Seeing a piece of fat in front of him, Guo Li used his brain to eat it. The 1,200 light cavalry of his own side had no chance of winning against the Tibetan black cavalry. What's more, the opponent has the advantage of numbers, and if necessary, the opponent can use the grain and grass cart as a barrier to block his own attack, and can only rely on the advantage of the terrain.

"Lieutenant Li, order everyone to speed up and find an ambush location before Tubo."

The cavalry of more than 1,000 people moved, bypassing the Tibetan march route like a hurricane, and marched in a large circle in the direction of Ganzhou. An hour later, Guo Li saw a small river in front of him. The water of the river is clear and flows quietly like the years. Not far from the creek, there is a hill with a grave. The hill is not high, only a few tens of feet.

"If Mr. is from Tibet, what do you want to do when you see this small river?" Guo Li asked.

"Give the war horse water, rest and adjust." Meng Haoran replied.

"The hills on the west side of the creek obscured the view, and it was just the distance from here that could charge. If you lie in ambush on the side of the hill and attack while the Tibetans are dismounting and drinking, what will be the result? ”

"Tibet will be in chaos." Meng Haoran had already seen in his mind the scene of the Tubo people panicking and responding.

"Li Duwei ordered 300 archers of the Liangshan Regiment to solve the grain and grass of Tubo, 300 spearmen charged, and 600 elite horsemen armed with Tang knives to ambush Tubo on the side of the hill. The focus of this campaign was to eliminate the grain and grass supplies of Tubo, and immediately after the charge, move in the direction of Ganzhou. ”

On the side of the hill, there is an ambush of the entire Liangshan regiment. Like a cheetah, quietly waiting for food to appear.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the river is reflected lifelessly.

At dusk, the Tibetans took shape and saw a small river rushing in. The soldiers turned over and dismounted, the whole river was like a white exercise, and the Tubo people densely occupied both sides of the river, and even some soldiers led the horses into the river.

The Tibetan soldiers spoke in an incomprehensible language, sang unintelligible songs, and laughed and scolded with great ease. Suddenly, hundreds of arrows pierced the sky with firelight, and the sudden change interrupted the joy of the Tibetan people. Hundreds of Tang cavalry suddenly appeared from the back of the hill, charging straight down with spears in hand. The Tibetan soldiers in the river hurriedly led their horses away from the river, and the scene was extremely chaotic. The grain and grass cart that stayed on the shore was shot by a rocket, and countless sparks appeared on the grain and grass on the grain cart in an instant. A spark is enough to start a prairie fire. The soldiers guarding the grain and grass carts were obviously not well guarded, neither prepared wet cloths nor water pipes to extinguish the fire, and the carts began to burn slowly.

The second round of rockets suddenly arrived, and the grain and grass carts burned more violently. The Tibetan leader saw that the grain and grass carts were burned, and commanded the battle in words that Guo Li did not understand. The Tibetans pushed the burning grain cart towards the river, intending to use the river water to extinguish the fire. The rest of the Tibetans formed their formations with the intention of launching a counterattack against the attackers.

"Don't fight, charge!" Guo Li took the lead, brandishing a Tang knife and rushing towards the river. Jianhu followed closely by Guo Li's side, behind him were three hundred soldiers wielding Tang swords and slashing at the Tubo people, and at the end of the team were three hundred archers, bending their bows and arrows, advancing with the brigade. In the panic of the Tibetans, it was 300 archers who caused serious injuries to the Tibetans. The Tibetan formation was scattered and could not form a counterattack. A charge, the Tubo people turned on their horses and were seriously injured. Five miles away from the river, it was the spearmen of the first charge who stood by in place. Seeing Guo Li, Li Guangbi smiled and asked, "One more round of killing?" ”

"Ziyi's clever plan, the Tubo people really hit the plan." Meng Haoran found that Guo Li had a clear intention every time he used troops.

When quelling the rebellion against Kang Yuanzi, he first broke the rebellious tribes one by one, and then went down to the five cities in five days. In the battle of Shanzhou, whether it was burning Hulu Valley or Lexian going out of the city to kill the enemy, there were obvious intentions. Even in this surprise attack just now, the intention was even more obvious.

Thou shalt not fight.

Guo Li's purpose was to burn the other party's grain and grass, and the mission was completed. The opponent has already gathered his formation and is ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

"Advance to Ganzhou!"

Ganzhou has Qilian Mountain as a barrier in the south and Zhangye River in the north. There is still the Great Wall of Qin between Ganzhou and Wuwei County, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and this section of the Great Wall has been abandoned for many years after the establishment of the Duhufu. The sunset is slanting and the ruins are broken, and there is a unique scene.

A thousand-strong force was rapidly advancing towards Ganzhou on the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

Ningcheng was broken means that the Tubo army has approached Ganzhou, Guo Li originally planned to go to Wuwei County to transfer troops and horses to Ganzhou, Ningcheng was broken The situation changed abruptly, Ganzhou and Wuwei County were within the range of Tubo's attack, so he had to let Chen Duwei go to Wuwei to guard the city.

The Tibetans sent troops from the narrow strip of land less than a few miles between the Qilian Mountains and Qinghai Lake to occupy Ningcheng, rather than approaching Shazhou in the east and the Qilian Mountains approaching Ganzhou as Guo Li had predicted.

The whole battle situation has to be replanned.

On the evening of the second day, Guo Li led the Liangshan regiment to Ganzhou. After a big circle, I finally saw the majestic city wall of Ganzhou.

The gates were closed and the pontoon was hoisted.

"Quickly report to your family as a general, and ask for the Western General Guo Li to lead the Liangshan regiment here."

Today's duty general is Wang Shouzhen. After Ningcheng was captured, Ganzhou directly faced the Tubo army. Not good news for Ganzhou. Wang Shouzhen couldn't sleep at night, and was overjoyed when he heard that Guo Li had arrived.

"Yesterday, I got the news that most of the grain and grass transported by Tubo was burned, and it must have been Ziyi's doing. Ziyi's shot was extraordinary, a few days ago, a battle report came that Shanzhou had annihilated 10,000 Tuyuhun, and he was looking forward to Ziyi's arrival day and night. "Wang Shouzhen has a scruffy beard, obviously he is busy these days, and he can't take care of these etiquette trivialities.

"On the way here, I happened to run into it, and I lit a fire. Where are the 10,000 horses led by the high housekeeper chicken? Guo Li said with a smile.

"The high chicken coop with 50,000 stone of grain just relieved the plight of Ganzhou, and last year's locust plague in Ganzhou was not as severe as Liangzhou. There was a rebellion of displaced people in Liangzhou, just because there was no food to eat. Ganzhou has a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10,000 Gaoshe chickens, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses. Ziyi came to Ganzhou, who is in charge of Shanzhou? Tubo occupies Ningcheng, what should I do? Wang Shouzhen said as he walked.

"Shanzhou is still the head of Liu Tingshi, although the emperor removed him, there is something he must do. The imperial court does not send a single soldier, let alone grain and grass. Apart from this Liu Thorn History, where else can we raise the grain and grass needed by the army? If he can complete this task, even if he is recommended to assassinate Shi afterwards. Besides, Rong County's failure to rescue is not Liu Tingshi's fault alone. Is there any news from Suzhou and Shazhou? ”

Since the Tubo have captured Ningcheng, they should not have made a detour of thousands of miles to capture Shazhou. Guo Li asked this because he was afraid that it would be dark under the lamp, and the more unexpected the place, the easier it was to have problems. After all, there are 200,000 people in Tibet, and the troops of the Tang Dynasty are scattered in various states.

"Shazhou is backed by the Qilian Mountains, and it is impossible for Tubo to make a detour of thousands of miles to do thankless things. Shazhou is adjacent to the Western Regions, and it has been rumored by the Anxi Protectorate, and I am afraid that 200,000 Tubo people will stay in the Tang Dynasty forever. ”

Wang Shouzhen did not take the Tibetan army in his eyes at all.

Early the next morning, Jianhu told someone to ask to see him.

Who could it be?

The tall chicken coop led two Uighurs in.

"But the big marshal is coming, Ningcheng is lost, the big marshal ordered, you can't take back Ningcheng within three days, and come to see the big marshal."

"Who is General Gao bringing here?"

The two Uighurs who came in with the high chicken coop fell to their knees and said, "Thank you for the old man's intercession for the Uighurs, and the grinding inkstone sips on behalf of the Hui Yongji Dashuai's kindness." ”

Return? Guo Li remembered that once the servant Gu Huaien took a Hui boy to the palace to intercede, Guo Li considered that the Hui were a grassland people and did not contribute to the Kang Yuanzi rebellion, so he and Li Longji suggested that the Hui be relocated to the grassland.

"Get up, how do you know that Ben Shuai is in Ganzhou?" Guo Li asked.

"The kindness of the handsome man moistens the Hui like rain, and the reputation of the handsome shines on the earth like the sun. Since migrating to the grassland, the Hui people have not forgotten the big handsome for a moment. Knowing that the marshal was appointed as the general of the Xi, the Hui people looked forward to seeing the marshal day and night. Zaro. Reheman ...... "Mo Yan knelt down and stood up.

The old man known as Zaroreheman stepped forward to deliver a post, and after Guo Li took it, it said two opals, 100 cows, and 1,000 sheep.

The Uighur people have developed well on the grassland in the past year, and they can give such a rich gift so quickly.

Guo Li returned the gift slip to Zaro. Reheman.

"These things are useful to Hui Hui, but they are not of much use to Ben Shuai."

Zaro changed color, and hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "If the marshal doesn't accept the gift, he will definitely be punished by the patriarch after he goes back." ”

Guo Li remembered that the young man named Mo Yansi was the son of the Hui patriarch, and Gulzara had white hair and was at least sixty years old. Let an old man kneel on the ground and feel uneasy, and step forward to help the old man Zaro up.

"Hui Hui's mind has been received, if there is anything to say, if you can help, Ben Shuai will definitely help."

Mo Yan was overjoyed, there was indeed something wrong with seeing Guo Li this time.

Since Guo Li interceded, Mo Yan Si, a member of the Hui tribe, was arranged to go to Hunhe Prefecture in the Western Regions. In the past, many ethnic groups were scattered in the Mupan Mountains, and after hearing that the Hui had a settlement, they migrated to Hunhe Prefecture one after another. After more than half a year of recuperation, he gradually recovered. The Hui people also have tens of thousands of people in total, and they are considered a big clan in the Hunhe Prefecture region. The Turks could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, so they had to often plunder on the steppe. The Uighurs and the Turks fought several times, each time only to keep the territory. Asked for help from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate were happy to see the Hui and the Turks fighting to the death. Hearing that Guo Li was appointed as the general of the Western War, the Hui people thought that they would use Guo Li's power to solve the disaster of the Turks.

Meng Haoran brought the map, Hunhe Prefecture is in the extreme north of the grassland east of Wolf Mountain. Meng Haoran nodded to the wolf mountain on the map and said, "This is the place where Huo Qu is sick and seals the wolf." ”

No wonder Anbei doesn't care about the Protectorate, how to manage it? In such a distant place, it is difficult to find the Turks even if they send troops.

"What kind of remuneration are the Hui people willing to pay?" Guo Li didn't think that the things on the gift list were the reward for him to send troops to help, if so, Datang's soldiers and horses were too cheap.

Old man Zaro clapped his hands suddenly.

Suddenly, two little Loli who looked the same as each other came in, wearing the same Hui costumes, bright big eyes and high noses, and even the pigtails tied on the top of their heads were similar. One of them wore a pink turban, the other a red turban, and it was hard to tell the difference.

Twin little Lori.
