There are ancient poems: the golden river is restored to the jade pass, and the court is Ma Ce and the knife ring; The snow returns to the green mound in three springs, and the Yellow River surrounds the Black Mountain. The road is full of blood and turmoil.

Let's say that Niu Jinda wants to attack Songzhou at night, but Xu Zhen knows that Murong Hanzhu controls the situation in Tubo, so he strongly opposes it, but he knows that the soldier is a murder weapon, and the sage has to use it as a last resort. But although there is a fierce general who has fought for 3,000 miles and a sword has been a million-strong general, many soldiers will inevitably have no home to return to, and they have given their innocent lives in vain.

Although this Niu Jinda is a reckless person, after all, he has worked hard for many years in the big **, and he has encountered walls everywhere, and he has learned to be obedient, you need to know that this Songzhou is the main road to Tuyuhun on the south road of Jiannan, and after leveling Tuyuhun, the Governor's Mansion was set up here, and the army was not more than 10,000, and Han Wei was defeated, which is also understandable.

However, Niu Jinda and others came with an army of 50,000 people, and if they were passive, they would definitely be instructed by the civil officials of the imperial court, and the saint was about to use troops against Liaodong.

Three hundred miles northwest of Songzhou City, there is Gansong Ridge, and there is a rail army to guard, the west of the rail army is the party, and the northwest of the party leads to Tuyuhun, which is more and more the key to the fortress of Songzhou.

After the party returned to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up the Detention Mi Prefecture and the Rail Prefecture in its place, worshiped its leader as the assassin history to govern its people, and then, except for the most powerful Tuoba Department, the other departments have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty set up many states and counties to control, until Hou Junji raided the Tuyuhun King City, and the Tuoba Department finally surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty set up nearly 30 Detention Mi Prefectures, most of which belonged to the Songzhou Governor's Office.

It can be seen that Songzhou is important, and Tubo broke through the Gansong Ridge, went straight to Songzhou, and defeated Han Wei, some of the Qiang chieftains who were originally affiliated with the Tang Dynasty actually launched a rebellion, including Kuozhou Thorn Shi Bei Cong Wo Shi, Nuozhou Thorn Shi Li Buli, if Tubo can not be expelled from Songzhou in a short period of time, when the party Xiang Xiang more than 30 people and horses in Mizhou riot, the situation will be more difficult to control!

Xu Zhen is inherently enthusiastic, and feels sorry for the innocence of ordinary sergeants, but Niu Jinda has been in the army for many years, judging the situation, and planning to attack Songzhou at night at this time, although it is inappropriate, but it is understandable, it is really the situation in Songzhou is very wide-ranging, and it is necessary to use lightning speed to seek it!

The reason why it was suddenly decided to launch an attack was also because Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, led the remnants to gather and bluntly said that although Tubo claimed to lead 200,000 troops, but after careful consideration, there was a lot of water.

The Tubo army is divided into forty Dongdai, Dongdai is a thousand households, when forty Dongdai has just been formed, each Dongdai also manages more than 1,000 households, each household out of a soldier, then its total strength of 50,000 has already reached the end, and only wait for Li Daozong and Liu Lan to converge, ** a total of 50,000 foot cavalry, the strength is comparable, how can Tubo resist the well-trained Tang Heavenly Army?

This Han Wei was newly defeated, eager to save his reputation, Niu Jinda was eager to win, intending to suppress Xu Zhen, and the two hit it off, so they planned this strategy of attacking Songzhou at night.

Han Weizheng was secretly happy to say that he had moved Niu Jinda, and when he saw Xu Zhen coming forward to oppose it, he was immediately angry, although Songzhou was only a lower house, the governor was also from the third grade, although Xu Zhen was a loyal general, but he was only a loose official on the fourth grade, in fact, the power was just a commander of 1,002 troops in the upper mansion and the commander of the capital.

The dignified Wuwei general Niu Jinda and the governor of Songzhou Han Wei were actually stopped by Xu Zhen, this Niu Jinda had seen the saint particularly fond of Xu Zhen, but Han Wei was just hearsay, seeing that Xu Zhen was so unpopular, he immediately slapped out of the horse and instructed his subordinates to personally say.

"Captain, how dare you disobey military orders like this! It's not that we ignore the supervision of our army! Take him down left and right! I'll wait for the victory to return, and then I'll ask him about his sins!" ”

Zhou Cang saw that Niu Jinda didn't open his eyes, and he wanted to move his father-in-law, and he was about to break out and hurt people, but this time he was glared back by Xu Zhen and let the left and right prison soldiers detain him.

Niu Jinda only said that Xu Zhen knew about the conspiracy between him and the eldest grandson Wuji, and he didn't want to go forward to die, and he sneered in his heart, since Xu Zhen didn't dare to go up to take the lead, he Niu Jinda led the army to sweep Tubo, anyway, Xu Zhen disobeyed, and he already had an excuse to rectify him, so he took the great credit of Songzhou first.

"Xu Zhen, it's not me Niu Jinda-for-tat, you haven't been in the army for a day or two, you should know that disobeying the army's orders is a big crime, this time I will break the city first, and then talk about the matter."

Xu Zhen's hands were tied, and most of his subordinate soldiers were disdainful, feeling that his own lieutenant was greedy for life and afraid of death, had no ambition, and was ashamed, and secretly scolded Xu Zhen in his heart for being gutless, if it weren't for Zhou Cang and others to strictly restrain him, this group of sergeants who didn't know whether to live or die would have to take the initiative to ask for battle.

It is clearly to save their lives, and it is just a matter of not being missed, but it is misunderstood, if it was Xu Zhen in the past, he would have already jumped like thunder and let this group of dead ghosts who were in a hurry to be chopped off to die, but at this time he was as calm as water, and he just smiled.

Han Wei couldn't see Xu Zhen's pretended to be deep, and urged people to take Xu Zhen down and take care of him, but Xu Zhen raised his head and said to Niu Jinda.

"General, it's not that I, Xu Zhen, am greedy for life and afraid of death, but I really know that this battle will be lost, and I act as a messenger, and I have seen many passes and ambushes along the way, and I hope that the general will think twice, and don't bury the lives of many robes..."

Niu Jinda listened to Xu Zhen's sincerity, and hesitated a little in his heart, but Han Wei pointed at Xu Zhen with a horsewhip and scolded: "The big war is imminent, not only do you disobey the order, but you also curse the defeat and bewitch the army. A certain road comes from Songzhou, and how many enemy troops are arranged along the way, don't you know better than you! ”

Xu Zhen didn't expect Han Wei to be defeated, but he dared to put on a fight, he already looked down on this person in his heart, and he lost his good feelings, so he no longer showed mercy on his lips.

"Han Dudu said very well, it seems that people like us who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if at that time, they only care about fleeing for their lives, how can they pay attention to the layout of the enemy troops along the way, since Han Dudu is confident, Xu does not dare to say more... But... There is a sentence Xu has to say that in front, I hope that the soldiers of the three armies will be a witness for me! ”

Xu Zhen said this, unconsciously raised his voice, and said loudly: "Xu Zhen disobeyed the order tonight, in order to save the lives of the sergeants, and did not want to make senseless sacrifices, the two generals did not listen to the dissuasion, if they were defeated, Xu Zhen would have died in front of the army, if the battle was defeated, the lives of the dead soldiers in the army would all be counted on the heads of the two generals!" ”

Niu Jinda saw that Xu Zhen said so firmly, such as the rebirth of the unpredictable prophet, he had to be moved, and the sergeants were so infected by Xu Zhen, and they were all suspicious, but the plan had been decided, and they were so stirred up by Xu Zhen, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, so they had to do it!

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda did not hesitate any longer, and ordered loudly: "Xu Zhen's demons confuse the public, snub the army's heart, flog thirty, and after the war, he will be held accountable, and all will be punished, and all the soldiers will be killed in Songzhou with the general, defend the territory, drive away the barbarians, restore my mountains and rivers, and strengthen the prestige of our country!" ”

That Han Wei couldn't stand Xu Zhen for a long time, so he asked people to drag Xu Zhen down, took off his military uniform and beat him with thirty strokes, and threw Xu Zhen into the military prison!

Zhou Cang and several people were anxious to save each other, but they were blocked by Xu Zhen, not that Xu Zhen didn't love himself, but he really had to accept this military stick, so that he could save himself after the war, and he endured it after thinking about the long run.

He has Li Jing's personal biography of "Increasing the Performing of the Book of Changes to Wash the Pulp and Cleanse the Inner Strength" to consolidate his internal breath, and he has the Seven Holy Swords Secret Technique and Yoga to strengthen and strengthen the body, and the executing sergeant is afraid of his identity as a loyal general, so the flesh and skin pain are nothing.

Niu Jinda led 3,000 troops with Han Wei, and another 1,000 steps behind the military palace, went out of the walled city, and went straight to Songzhou City!

This Han Wei is the governor of Songzhou, he is particularly familiar with the terrain and landforms, and fled all the way back, with a deep memory, and he led a thousand pioneers to open the route in a short time, and eradicated more than ten sentry posts along the way, quite a wind and clouds, morale was greatly boosted, and everyone rushed to be the first, not more than half of the night, it was only less than ten miles away from Songzhou City!

The pass in front is a critical place, known as the Little Jatamansi Ridge, with high mountains and dense forests on both sides, and deep valleys and ravines among them, which is really a small fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Han Wei did not completely control the enemy army all the way as he said, and fled for his life in a hurry, where did he take care of all this, but he was eager to win, and in order to persuade Niu Jinda to send troops, he boasted of Haikou.

This time when I arrived at Xiaogansong, the advance scout inquired, and saw that there was no ambush, and the soldiers were overjoyed, and there were many jokes Xu Zhen was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he gave up the first meritorious person.

Niu Jinda and Han Wei looked at each other and smiled, as if the entire Songzhou City had already been reached, so they drove away the men and horses, and easily loosened the little Gansong Pass.

was speeding up the march and attacking Songzhou City in one fell swoop, but before he could expect to hear a cannon sound from the left and right, rolling stones and trees fell like a mountain collapsing on the sky, white feathers and rockets were overwhelming, and in the blink of an eye, they swallowed a small half of the thousand foot soldiers on the tail!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"There is an ambush! There really is an ambush! ”

The ** vanguard full of confidence was suddenly ambushed, the formation was suddenly chaotic, back and forth, and was shot dead by the Tubo army on the mountain, hundreds of cavalry, the rest of the foot soldiers with the help of shields, or they could be spared, but those high-headed cavalry had no way to dodge, and they fell off their horses!

"Fight back! Counterattack! ”

Niu Jinda was horrified, and hurriedly commanded the battle, but in order to facilitate the rapid march, this thousand foot soldiers were already a burden, how could they have a phalanx of archers, even if there was a phalanx of archers, if they wanted to shoot back against the enemy army on the mountain, it was also very difficult, the so-called condescending, like a bamboo, was like a bamboo, and it was so at that time!

Seeing that the sergeant suffered heavy casualties and could not organize an effective counterattack at all, Niu Jinda felt remorseful in his heart, and scolded: "The Han thief misunderstood me!" ”

Then the army was defeated and left, and was intercepted and killed by the Tubo army, fled to the east and turned white, there were only 1,78 people left behind the buttocks, mixed foot, embarrassed, and there were many injuries on the body, wailing all over the field, the army was disheartened, like a wanderer straggler, there was no special bravery, it was really frustrating to the extreme!

Now Xu Zhenzhi's warning is still in his ears, the robe in the camp is still waiting for the strong man to return victoriously, Niu Jinda is so ashamed that he has no place to be ashamed, so he has to lead the remnants of the army and return to the camp.

The remnants of the army had just left, and on the Little Gansong Ridge, the new Tubo King Qizong in yellow and red clothes laughed loudly, but Murong Hanzhu's eyes were slightly narrowed, unfathomable, and he only looked at the tail of **, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the results of this battle.

"The military advisor is really like a god, and the wisdom of this heaven and man is enough to be the duty of the great discussion (Note 1)!"

Murong Hanzhu chuckled and waved his hand to show his humility, but he also received the praise of the Qizong Sect, but the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, Murong Hanzhu was a Han Chinese, and he pointed fingers at Tubo, which was even more appreciated by Zampu, but the old man of Tubo was vigilant in his heart, and he heard Zampu say that Murong Hanzhu had great talents, but the real Tubo was not happy.

This person is destined to be well-known to the Han people in the future, and he is the great theory of Tubo, Geer Dongzan, that is, Lu Dongzan in the Han population!
