"Servant, are you awake?"

Seeing Zhang Huaiding waking up slowly, the heart hanging in the hearts of the people around him was put down, but the faces of these people were different.

Zhang Huaidingzhi accidentally fell off his horse during the retreat, and with the defeat this time, he fainted on the spot.

This can scare the generals of the Guiyi Army, the Guiyi Army is already a little internally unstable, if Zhang Huaiding has another accident, wouldn't it be civil strife?

So seeing that Zhang Huaiding woke up, everyone was relieved, but some people were happy and some were worried about his awakening.

"Ahem."

With the help of the people next to him, Zhang Huaiding struggled to sit up, looking at the surrounding environment and the subordinates in front of him, "Where is this?" ”

"Shoot back, this is Suzhou City."

"Suzhou?" Zhang Huaiding was a little dazed, suddenly thought of the previous battle, and hurriedly said, "How many people have withdrawn from the army?" Has Ganzhou already fallen? ”

"Back ... There were only more than 20,000 people who returned to shoot back and only 1,000 people who came back from 5,000 elite horsemen. ”

"What?" Thinking that there were only so many people left in the 60,000 army, Zhang Huaiding was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned there, "Hateful, hateful!" What about Ganzhou? ”

The main force of the Guiyi Army was defeated, and the result of Ganzhou can be imagined. However, Zhang Huaiding still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, what if the history of Ganzhou is still sticking to it?

Although the army in Ganzhou was not large, what if the Uighurs were not able to attack the city? Maybe Ganzhou has not yet been captured or surrendered?

"Shoot back, Ganzhou is fine, the Uighur army has retreated."

"Retreated? What's going on? They shouldn't。。。。。 Zhang Huaiding's face was stunned, and the attention of the whole person was attracted, as if the whole person was not hurt at all, and there was no trace of pain.

Everyone looked at it, and finally Suo Xun, who was second only to Zhang Huaiding in status, stood up, "Servant shooting, it is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate of the imperial court who has sent troops." When we were fighting the Uighurs, the Liangzhou Governorate sent 20,000 cavalry to attack the Uighur court, and if it weren't for the timely return of the Uighur army, the imperial army almost captured the Uighur court. ”

"yes, servant. Do you know that the Uighurs suffered heavy losses this time, tens of thousands of horses were robbed, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were robbed, a large number of tribes were escorted to Liangzhou by the imperial army, and tens of thousands of cavalry were lost. ”

"Servant shooting, the imperial army can be said to have avenged us. If this battle continues, the Uighurs will be considered to be broken, and it will not be possible to threaten us in the short term. One person rejoiced.

"It makes sense, I didn't expect the imperial army to come out like this, but unfortunately it failed to capture the Uighur royal court."

Looking at the left sentence and the ground of the subordinates, Zhang Huaiding's face was also a little unpleasant.

The people below didn't see it, but he did.

If the imperial army did not attack the Uighur royal court, but cooperated with their Guiyi army, it would definitely leave behind an army of 50,000 Yaoluo Ge Renmei.

He had 60,000 cavalry, and the court had more than 20,000 elite cavalry, so what if the Uighurs had heavy cavalry?

Now they returned to the rebels and the Uighurs to fight for their lives and suffered heavy losses, but it was the convenience of the imperial court that they returned with a great victory, not only did they not lose many troops, but they captured a lot.

But what about the rebels? More than 30,000 soldiers were lost.

The Uighurs also lost nearly 30,000 men, as well as so many people and livestock.

The court's ploy was so good that it not only inflicted heavy losses on the Uighurs, but also weakened their rebel army.

Although the Uighurs suffered considerable losses, the army remained.

Even if he had guessed the purpose of the imperial court, he could not be dissatisfied in the slightest.

If he Zhang Huaiding wants to be the envoy of this festival, he must rely on the imperial court, otherwise how can he suppress the armies of all parties when he has lost all his elite? And the Uighurs of Shazhou?

Others didn't know what Zhang Huaiding was thinking, "Servant shot, you know?" ”

"Know what?" Zhang Huaiding was stunned.

"It's Li Sima, he... He's dying! ”

"What?" Zhang Huaiding suddenly wanted to get up, but he pulled the wound, grinned, sat back unwillingly, and said casually to the concerned subordinates next to him, "It's okay." What the hell is going on with Li Sima? ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Huaiding, who was being carried, came to Li Mingzhen's room where he was recuperating, and he was also a little excited when he saw Li Mingzhen, who was pale and bloodless.

"Fourteenth brother-in-law, who are you?" Seeing Li Mingzhen, who had more air out and less air intake, Zhang Huaiding felt a little guilty, and hurriedly ordered the doctor on the side, "Why don't you hurry up and save Sima?" ”

"Shoot back, and the old man and the others can't do anything. Sima had been injured before, and he had been hit by an arrow before, and the arrow went deep into his body, and the wound had begun to fester. ”

In the later life, it is a wound infection, which may not be a big deal in the later life, but there is no anti-infection medicine in this world, once the wound is infected and festers, basically you can only wait for death.

"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"

After scolding, Zhang Huaiding wanted to say a few words to Li Mingzhen, but the other party was speechless.

。。。。。。

"Li Mingzhen is dead?"

Li Ye, who was fishing by the Taiye Pond, heard the report of Li Sizhou, the king of Qin, and the hand holding the fishing rod couldn't help but shake, and the fish that was about to be hooked ran away.

"The minister is guilty of disturbing His Majesty's Yaxing." King Qin hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"King Qin, don't be so careful, it's just a fish. It's too easy to catch fish in this liquid pond, so it's not much fun, so I took the time to accompany me to the Wei River to fish. Tell me what's going on in Hexi? ”

There were already quite a few fish in the barrels next to it, the longest of which was six or seven inches long, and the shortest of which was three inches. Immediately, Li Ye put away the fishing rod and handed it to Zhang Wei on the side.

Li Sizhou quickly recounted what had happened in Hexi, and when he heard that both the Guiyi army and the Uighurs were defeated, and that the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate had gained a lot, Li Ye immediately smiled.

"As soon as Li Mingzhen died, what impact would it have on the Guiyi Army?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Mingzhen is at the helm of the Li family in Guazhou, and his wife is the daughter of Zhang Yichao, so it can be said that Zhang Huaiding is a die-hard supporter. Even if Zhang Huaiding instructed Suo Xun to kill Zhang Huaishen before, Li Mingzhen still stood on Zhang Huaiding's side.

Now in the first battle of Hexi, the Guiyi army was defeated, and Li Mingzhen's death in battle, the strength of the Guiyi army was greatly reduced, and the power in Zhang Huaiding's hands was also seriously weakened.

In the future, Zhang Huaiding's control of the Guiyi Army may be even more inadequate. ”

"Tell the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to keep an eye on the Guiyi Army, the Ganzhou Uighurs, and the Rokugu Tribe. At present, the imperial court is unable to use troops on a large scale in Hexi, so let them pay attention to the balance and not let the situation get out of control. ”
