Chapter 201: Strategizing

Although Xian Yu Zhongtong didn't think it was difficult to do, after all, it was something that Lord Yang valued so much, and he still had to do his best to do it beautifully. Since the staff and generals all say that the terrain of Yunnan is complex and the miasma is terrible, then good, I will do everything I can to solve the problem quickly! Dameng Guo vainly called a "big" character, how many troops can he have? Can you make up 30,000? Tibetan? I returned to the division in three months, is he in time?

"Since the general insists on going his own way, then there is only a sword and a soldier to meet!" Shen Mou saw that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, so he and Teng Mi looked at each other, and they were about to leave after a bow.

"Come on! Take these two brutes and me! "Xian Yu Zhongtong was annoyed that Shen Teng and the two of them were disrespectful, so just detain the two of you first!

The pro-soldiers on both sides moved very quickly, and as soon as the words fell, several steel knives immediately landed on the necks of Shen Teng and the others. Teng Mi was still about to resist, but when he had no choice but to see him, in order to show his sincerity, his weapons were removed outside the hall. How does flesh and blood resist the blade? At this moment, it can really be said that "people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat".

"Fresh in Zhongtong! What do you want? Shen Mou was furious and struggled, but a few pro-soldiers held him down, where could he escape?

"Don dog! There is a kind of letting go of your grandfather, and fighting alone Lao Tzu will let you empty-handed! Teng Mi was furious, but he really didn't expect Xian Yu Zhongtong to dare to detain him, and he didn't notice it for a while, but now he was forced to kneel down, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Hahahaha! The two of you are at ease. My army is about to step into Yang Tho soon, and there will naturally be a time for you and Ge Luofeng to meet! Just grieve for a few days! Xian Yu Zhongtong was in a good mood at the moment, and Shen Mou was very embarrassed by the words and needles before he made every word. Now that he saw his sword and axe coming, a trace of fear finally appeared in his eyes, how could he not make himself feel angry in his heart?

"Fresh! The two countries exchanged troops, and they did not cut the ......"

"Whew!" Xian Yu Zhongtong viciously interrupted Shen Mou's words, "You Nanban are also a country? Dare to be on an equal footing with my Datang? ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong left his seat, slowly walked to Shen Mou Lane and leaned down, a pair of slender phoenix eyes slowly narrowed.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Not only will I not kill you, but I will also provide you with good care, I want you to see with your own eyes how Datang's iron cavalry stepped on Yang Tho! I want you to see with your own eyes how I avenged Zhang Taishou! ”

Shen Mou heard this, and the whole person calmed down.

"Really? Xian Yuxiang, Zhang Qiantuo is your friend and disciple, right? You are really a master and apprentice, and even such arrogance that does not know the height of the sky is exactly the same! I kindly remind you that Zhang Qiantuo's yesterday is your tomorrow! ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong was too lazy to waste his tongue, and with a cold wave of his right hand, Shen Mou and Teng Mi, who had been knocked unconscious by his own soldiers with the hilt of a knife, were taken down.

Xian Yu Zhongtong, who stood silently in the middle of the hall, was silent, and the staff generals behind him did not dare to speak, let alone move.

At this time, if someone comes in through the main entrance, they must be able to see how bad Xian Yu Zhongtong's face is. After a long time, he finally spoke coldly:

"Herald! The left and right armies immediately opened at the same time and took the Xi'er River directly! Step on the sheep tho! Capture Ge Luofeng alive! ”

Ma Qing, the deputy head of the march, saw that Yu Zhongtong immediately walked to the door after speaking, and could no longer remain silent: "General! Please forgive me for being rude. With such a major move, do you want to gather all the generals......"

"Not necessarily! I have 40,000 elite soldiers on the left and right armies, and a single road is more than the total number of the army of the Southern Barbarians! Can such a battle be done with such care? Our henchmen are the Tibetans! A quick battle can lead to victory before the Tubo people come back to their senses. Let's herald! ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong would not have thought that all the Jiannan generals present here would not have guessed that in just one month, they would be so embarrassed when they are in high spirits today, and even most of them have no chance to return to their homeland! Today's scenery is infinite, and the Tang Jiannan Festival envoy who commanded an army of 80,000 can only flee back to Jiannan Chengdu Mansion with dozens of disabled horsemen after a month, only to be spared! Who would believe such a thing?

Ma Qing swallowed back the words that had already come to his lips, and bowed his head respectfully in response. When he raised his head again, he found that Xian Yu Zhongtong had already walked away......

May 19 of the 10th year of Tianbao, Tingzhou, on the bank of the Ye River.

The smoke curls and the sunset is like blood.

Yang Qing and Guo Xi walked side by side on the riverbank in the gentle evening breeze.

The extremely clear river water, under the light breeze, gently laps the riverbank, and the extremely rhythmic sound of the waves is like a lullaby that inspires people to sleep. The smell of fresh river water in the wind makes people get rid of the fatigue of the day.

"Xilie, it's still a good feeling to see in front of you." Yang Qing stopped with his hands and closed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, compared to the desert in Yizhou, this place is like a paradise on earth." Guo Xi also completely relaxed his mood and set his eyes on the other side.

"I don't know where General Gao is now, it's not good to let him wait for us too long. Any news? ”

"It's still the secret letter I received when I was in Gaochang, the main force of the Anxi Army has been assembled, and Xiao Bolu is about to start nervous again." Guo Xi shook his head amusedly.

Yang Qing couldn't help but wonder, every time Datang dispatched troops to Shule, it was when the nerves of the big and small Bolu were tense, and this had become an unbreakable truth. It's no wonder that a superpower like yours has made a move in the sensitive strategic fortress of Shule, who knows what your goal is, can you not endanger yourself?

However, Yang Qing quickly frowned: "Is the Anxi Army still staying in Shule?" Slow to move, not afraid of being seen by others? I heard that Qi Yade on the side of the big food is notoriously cunning, and it is typical that he does not scatter eagles without seeing rabbits, if he is suspicious......"

"General Gao can naturally think of this layer." The corners of Guo Xi's mouth turned up slightly, "I definitely won't wait too long, as soon as Yanqi and Khotan's soldiers and horses arrive, they will move quickly." Once you act, you must rush to Broken Leaf day and night, and you won't give the Great Cannibal a chance to seize Talas or Kulan City first! I guess it's just a matter of a day or two. ”

"How long does it take to get from Shule to Shaye via the Narun River?" After listening to Guo Xi's judgment, Yang Qing immediately became nervous. Jian Yuwei, as a surprise army, can neither act together with the Anxi army, but also cannot lag too far behind. According to Gao Xianzhi's deployment, Jian Yuwei only had one day to rest after rushing to Broken Leaves, and then he had to immediately follow the Anxi Army that had set off three days earlier to march into Talas. In this way, the timing must be very precise.

The Great Food Coalition Army will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Anxi Army capture Shiguo Tuozhi City without any worries, and they will definitely cut off the Tang Army's back road. If the Anxi army retreats eastward from Tuozhi City, it can choose nothing more than two roads, one is a flat road to the north, and retreats to Broken Leaf through the line of Baishui City, Talas, Kulan City, and Ashi Buna; The other southerly is a rugged mountain road, which crosses the Gro Ridge through Dongcao and retreats to Shule. According to Tanma's report, there were already signs of the Great Food Army operating in the area of Dongcao, and Gao Xianzhi immediately understood the opponent's intentions - as long as he chose to go north from Shule to Bahanna, it was foreseeable that once the main force left Dongcao and went north, the Great Food Army would not hesitate to take Dongcao and cut off the possibility of his southern retreat!

Since the Great Food Army has made such a deployment to the south, will it ignore the Talas stuck on the main road of the northern line? Qi Yade wouldn't be so stupid, but Gao Xianzhi wouldn't be so naΓ―ve either. Now the competition between the two sides is the control of time.

Qi Yade wishfully believed that the Anxi army would inevitably cross the Glo Ridge from Shule to Bahana through Dongcao, and what he had to do was to wait for the Anxi army to pass through Dongcao, tighten the mouth between Dongcao and Talas, and cut off the two retreat routes of the Anxi army in the north and south!

Gao Xianzhi expected that the judgment of the Great Food Army was wrong, and after Shule made all kinds of illusions to paralyze the enemy, he decisively crossed the Tianshan Mountains to Broken Leaves, and captured Talas first, seizing the strategic initiative in one fell swoop, forcing the Great Food Army to come to a decisive battle!

However, Gao Xianzhi's layout has a premise, that is, he can successfully attract the main force of the Great Food to the vicinity of Bahanna before he waves his army to the north, and he has no time to look north. Otherwise, once the Great Food Army sees through his intentions, it will inevitably redeploy, and it is likely to capture Dongcao, Tuozhi City, and Talas at the same time, and seal the Anxi Army to the east of the Tianshan Mountains in advance! In this way, the situation of the decisive battle will be difficult to form, and even if the Anxi army can be preserved, it will not be able to look west from now on - this is a result that Gao Xianzhi definitely does not want to see.

Guo Xi quickly sorted out the information of both sides and made a silent calculation: "Shule to broken leaves, it can be reached in 20 to 25 days; It takes us at least a month to get from here to the broken leaves......"

Yang Qing also fell silent at the same time, both of them knew that the difference was at least five days, and this was still an estimate under the expectation that there would be no more accidents like smoke and sandstorms.

"It looks like we're going to have to get out of five days." Guo Xi narrowed his eyes and set his gaze to the northwest, broken leaves, just on the edge of the invisible sky.

"yes." Yang Qing smiled faintly, "General Gao has strictly ordered that Jian Yuwei must rush to Broken Leaves in mid-June. Although we did not specify which day, if it was really June 19, it would have made the Anxi army look down on us. Besides, General Gao's heart will not be very happy. ”

"Five days is not enough." Guo Xi suddenly laughed, "After the smoke and water, there are still a few days of desert travel, if we encounter another smoke storm or something, our brothers will inevitably try the sticks of the Anxi Army!" ”

Yang Qing remembered the old incident when the two of them asked for military law together, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right!" At least seven days! ”

Guo Xi raised his eyebrows: "How is it?" Let's go to Lao Cao and discuss? ”

"Let's go!"

Night began to fall on the banks of the Yeshui River. In the silent tent, the sons of Jian Yuwei were sleeping soundly, while in the large tent of their commander, several figures under the candlelight had not slept all night......
