The Turks behaved very violently, and the battle went on very fiercely!

Guo Yuanzhen knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, and he must send troops to rescue Yunzhou.

Otherwise, if Yunzhou falls and the city is slaughtered, he will be the next Gao Cheng to be put in a prisoner car and escorted to Luoyang.

Those in the court never asked about the process, only the result.

Guo Yuanzhen, as the head of the Shuofang Road march, shouldered the heavy responsibility of border defense.

Losing any city for any reason is a capital offense!

Guo Yuanzhen sent a deputy general to lead the troops to rescue Yunzhou under a false banner.

On the one hand, it is "loose on the outside and tight on the inside" to prevent the Turks from attacking.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he had sent out to rescue the centaur in Yunzhou.

Even if not all the troops are wiped out, there will be heavy casualties.

Those were fathers, sons, and brothers who had followed him for many years.

The deputy general Guo Dabao is even more like father and son with him.

Guo Yuanzhen's heart was very uncomfortable.

But as a general's manager, he thinks about the overall situation of victory and defeat.

War, sacrifice is inevitable!

Shortly after the encounter between the 3,000 reinforcements and the Turkic ambush began.

More than 40,000 Turkic troops really came to attack Shuozhou!

Yunzhou, sure enough, is besieging the city to send reinforcements and transfer the tiger away from the mountain!

Under Guo Yuanzhen, there are no more than 10,000 people in total.

Three thousand were sent, and seven or eight thousand remained to defend the city.

In the face of an enemy army four or five times larger than oneself, the disparity in strength can be described as huge.

But Guo Yuanzhen's preparation was very adequate.

A tragic battle of attack and defense of the city began!

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, barely stopping for a moment.

The Turks are also fighting for their old roots, and they must take Shuozhou.

It was more than just a battle victory for them.

It is also a crucial battle for the survival of their "pseudo-khanate".

Seeing that the army of the black tooth is about to come to crusade.

If the Turks avoid it at this time, it will be good luck.

The tribes of the steppe and all the people.

The Turkic nobles who started the rebellion must have turned their noses up and looked down on them completely.

So he turned his head and surrendered to the rebellious Tang Dynasty.

After all, Datang has been operating on the grassland for fifty years.

The "legitimacy" of the regime is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Ah Rang Na Fu Nian and Ah Ashina Gu Dulu had to fight hard.

There was no other option at all.

They need a victory too much to increase their influence among the many tribes of the steppe.

It has won the hearts of millions of grassland people.

Shuozhou.

If you can take this place and kill Guo Yuanzhen, you will definitely be able to severely demoralize the Tang army.

At the same time, it greatly boosted the morale of the Turkic army!

In the same way, Guo Yuanzhen must not lose any city.

This is especially true in Shuozhou.

Otherwise, his crime will be even greater than Gao Cheng......

He can definitely only win, not lose!

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the corpses were like mountains under the city pass, and the blood flowed like a river.

The Turks, who have never been good at siege cities, are really willing to play with their lives.

And there are constantly additional troops to help.

Most of the troops besieging Yunzhou and leaving the mountains were transferred.

The total number of Turkic armies has increased to more than 100,000!

The pressure on Shuozhou is unprecedentedly huge!

Guo Yuanzhen had already written to the rear and the state for help.

To be clear, this was definitely not a small battle.

It's a big battle about the overall situation.

Request that the Metropolitan Governor's Office immediately send troops to help!

But the battle lasted two days and two nights.

Reinforcements from the state still haven't arrived.

A lot of grumpy generals.

is already pointing to the southern sky and scolding Li Hunyang's ancestors for eighteen generations!

In the early morning of the third day, that is, the morning after Li Xingzhou and the others evacuated after they succeeded.

Reinforcements from the rear did not arrive.

However, a former army observer sent by the state came to inspect the battle situation of the former army.

"Inspection?!"

The arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under Guo Yuanzhen all turned into angry eyes.

I wanted to tear the observer alive on the spot.

Guo Yuanzhen suppressed these loyal and upright generals under his command.

Holding back his temperament, he squeezed out a smile and received the observer.

Whoever comes, Jian'an Wang Wu is appropriate!

As soon as Guo Yuanzhen heard his name, his heart chuckled......

Although he didn't know him, Guo Yuanzhen had heard of him.

More importantly, Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an, is a relative of His Majesty the Emperor Zetian.

is the celebrity in front of Wu Chenghe, and he is very respected.

So there is a very delicate relationship between friend and foe......

For the sake of Princess Taiping, Li Xingzhou and Wu Youyi were extremely at odds.

Right now, Emperor Zetian is trying his best to win him over Guo Yuanzhen, in addition to wanting to train him to be the commander of the Tang Dynasty who can replace the black tooth Changzhi.

There is another important intention in it, that is, after he Guo Yuanzhen returns to the dynasty, he will help her to check and balance and fight against the old Li royal family!

And Li Xingzhou and Guo Yuanzhen are allies to many extent.

That is, due to the reason for taking sides.

Guo Yuanzhen and Li Hunying's family are already enemies!

He Wu Youyi is also a stranger.

"Observer, what are you doing here?"

Guo Yuanzhen behaved quite kindly and asked.

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi is also smiling.

He was used to smiling like that, even when he was so angry that he wanted to kill.

The face is also this kind of smile that is neither yin nor yang, nor lukewarm.

"This envoy came, first, on the order of the marching chief, to supervise the battle. General Guo fought bravely and resisted the strong enemy outside the country, and when the envoy returned to the state, he would truthfully report and ask for credit for General Guo. ”

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said with a smile.

Guo Yuanzhen listened to him playing official like this, and did not mention the matter of "reinforcements", and his heart was already very angry.

Holding back, he asked.

"Your envoy, I want to ask why Changshi didn't send troops to help? The Turks invaded in a big way, with no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"I don't have more than 10,000 people under my command and I have to divide troops to rescue Yunzhou, and the defense is quite tight!"

"General Guo, don't get me wrong, Changshi never said that he would not send troops." build

An Wang Wu Youyi said with a smile on his face, as if he was "bitter".

"General Guo is guarding the city in front, there is a Great Wall outside, and there are tiger and wolf soldiers inside."

"The Turks have never been good at attacking cities strongly, and they will definitely not be able to defeat Shuozhou."

“……”

Guo Yuanzhen was speechless, and endured a strong anger in his heart.

His eyes were almost red.

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi glanced at Guo Yuanzhen.

Said with a smile.

"General Guo, don't be impatient, reinforcements from the rear are coming soon."

"You also know that more than ninety percent of the army in Bingzhou is a newly recruited new army, how can they fight in a hurry?"

"Moreover, relocating displaced people and raising food and grass is not something that can be done overnight."

"The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is busy almost day and night, and he doesn't dare to slack off."

"Changshi recruited General Guo to replace Gao Cheng to guard Shuozhou, didn't he rely on General Guo's prestige?"

"If you can hold the city pass for three months without losing it, the rear army will be all ready."

"This is General Guo's great achievement!"

Guo Yuanzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped like thunder on the spot.

"Three months? You let me have 10,000 horses to guard the onslaught of the Turkic army of 100,000 for three months?! ”

"There are so many soldiers and horses in the rear, Huan Yanfan and Jinghui, and some of them have elite regular troops under their command!"

"Soldiers don't go into battle, busy gathering food and grass, what kind of bullshit excuse is this!"

"Shuozhou is gone, and it is my Guo Yuanzhen and more than 10,000 brothers under my command who lost their heads!"

"Li Hunxuan, I said that you are so kind, give me a military merit for nothing, and let me recover the two states of the Shuo Dynasty!"

"It turned out that he wanted to trap me Guo Yuanzhen to death! You want to kill more than 10,000 of my brothers! ”

"Li Hunxuan, you inhuman old thief, bastard old bastard!"

……

Guo Yuanzhen scolded loudly, and there was no half of restraint and politeness.

This looks like he's going to be put to death, what else is there to worry about?

Jian'an Wang Wu should let him scold.

There was still that kind of smile on his face, which was neither yin nor yang, and he was indifferent at all.

When he finished scolding, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said gloomily.

"General Guo, I respect you for being a tiger general and a loyal martyr all your life, and I don't think I heard those angry words just now."

Jian'an Wang Wuyi's attitude made Guo Yuanzhen, who was upright and fiery, more and more unbearable.

Even if he slapped the table and scolded himself, it would be more enjoyable.

Like such cynicism that is neither yin nor yang, nor dead or alive, Guo Yuanzhen's anger is even greater!

"Wu Youyi, don't put on such a stinky posture in front of Lao Tzu!"

Guo Yuanzhen was furious and said angrily.

"Lao Tzu is desperate for this life, and he is not subject to the coercion and sarcasm of a villain like you!"

"General Guo, why be so impatient? I can't say enough about it! ”

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi was still not in a hurry, smiling.

"The Turks raised troops to invade Yunshuo Erzhou, General Guo's border defense was tight, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion knew about it."

"But the more dangerous the moment, the more it can show General Guo's loyalty and bravery!"

“..... However, since General Guo is in difficulty, I, the former military observer, will also truthfully report back to the Governor's Mansion. ”

"I ask Changshi to allocate a batch of grain and grass supplies as soon as possible, and send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Humph! ……”

Guo Yuanzhen snorted disdainfully, you kid would be so kind?

Your family, I can't wait for Lao Tzu to die without a place to be buried!

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi was still smiling and whispering.

"This envoy is here, and there is another important military business."

"If General Guo can help me do this military affairs well, I am willing to put my neck under General Guo's knife."

"Guarantee with your life...... Within three days, reinforcements will arrive! ”

Guo Yuanzhen's heart was suddenly stunned, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked very vigilantly.

"What military affairs?"

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said with a smile.

"When the two states of Shuodai fell before, there were a lot of deserters under Gao Cheng and Ma Huaide."

"Instead of defending the city and resisting the enemy, they also degenerated into soldiers and bandits, plundering villages everywhere and causing trouble to the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"This envoy joined the army as the governor of the metropolitan government of the state, and he was responsible for investigating these things."

Guo Yuanzhen couldn't check his pulse for a while, and asked cautiously.

"Under the command of this general, there is no deserter!"

"Of course I do. General Guo's command is full of brave and strong loyal people, admired by the world! ”

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said with a smile.

"General Guo, why don't you be patient and listen to the envoy finish speaking?"

"You say!"

"Okay."

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi was still not in a hurry and said gently.

"This envoy was ordered to investigate the case of desertion, and he caught a lot of black sheep piecemeal."

"It is these miscellaneous things that have ruined the reputation of my Tang Dynasty soldiers and caused an extremely bad impact among the people."

Guo Yuanzhen listened with a strained temperament.

I scolded this son of a bitch in my heart for talking a lot of official nonsense!

"If it were just some sporadic deserters, the envoy wouldn't have made a big fuss."

"But not long ago, I found a big case!"

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi suddenly changed his words.

The volume has also been raised, loud and loud.

"The right guard Zhonglang will Huan Yanfan, conniving at hundreds of deserters!"

"Not only did he hide the bad deeds of these people as deserters and harm the people, but he also dared to ask for military merits for these deserters!"

Guo Yuanzhen's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to intervene because he didn't know the truth, but only muttered in his heart.

Huan Yanfan is a loyal and responsible person, how could he do such a thing?

"I know General Guo is suspicious. However, the evidence in this case is conclusive. ”

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said.

"Huan Yanfan is also a general."

"If it weren't for the iron case, how would the envoy dare to wronged him, how could he dare to be easily detained by him?"

Guo Yuanzhen was taken aback.

"You detained Huan Yanfan?!"

"Of course."

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi had a "surprised" expression.

"According to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, desertion is a big crime, and it is a capital crime for soldiers and bandits to harm the people! If anyone shelters and shields such a person, he will be guilty of the same crime! ”

“...... Huan Yanfan connived at and shielded hundreds of this soldier and bandit in one go, and the envoy did not take him into custody for interrogation, wouldn't it be a blasphemy against the law and military orders? ”

"You! ……”

Guo Yuanzhen is really angry,

"When the two armies are about to fight against the enemy, you detain the general and destroy the wall!"

"Wu Youyi, are you colluding with the Turks?!"

"My martial family is a royal clan, and the country of the Tang Dynasty is our home, how can I collude with foreign enemies to bring disaster to my own family?"

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi laughed a few times, and his eyes suddenly became very cold.

"General Guo, it's better to pay attention to a little bit of proportion when you speak."

"Even though I was so broad-minded that I didn't care about many of your radical words, this kind of thing is really too damning."

"If I really want to use the topic to play, I can directly sue you to the Yushitai!"

“……”

Guo Yuanzhen swallowed a sigh of resentment and bowed with his fists.

"Fang is my speech, don't blame me!"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi seemed to be very generous, smiled and waved his hand, and said.

"Huan Yanfan's detention is indeed an iron case."

"He took the old uniforms of his army and replaced them with deserters who he had abandoned to disguise their deserters......

"Isn't this a cover-up? If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. ”

"After a little investigation, the truth was revealed."

Guo Yuanzhen was a little impatient.

"What's the matter with me? What military affairs did you come to my Shuozhou to do? Say! ”

"It's not about General Guo's military. However, the matter of Guanshuozhou. ”

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said.

"I interrogated those deserters, and someone confessed that it was a person named Li Xingzhou who instructed them to collude with Huan Yanfan to clear their names and defraud them of military merits!"

"What?!"

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes widened, and he really pointed the finger at him!

"It seems that General Guo is very familiar with this person named Li Xingzhou?"

Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi said with a smile.

"Huan Yanfan abused his power. Three months ago, he led people out of Bingzhou and came to Shuozhou, where General Guo was guarding. ”

"I suspect that he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he absconded to the Shuozhou border, and once the incident happened, he would flee to the northern grasslands and commit treason to the enemy."

"That's why I quietly came to General Guo for help, and it is best to quietly hand over this person to me for interrogation."

"I suspect he's a meticulous work sent by the Turks, and he's on a top-secret mission!"
