So Gao Yue exchanged glances with Wei Gao and Ximen Cang, and then agreed to the idea of hunting fans, "Immediately the middle of the Tang army will be temporarily stationed in Wuquan City, and then a large number of military rations will be transported from Feng'an Military City to this place by boat and boat against the big river, so I am telling you that you must not think that my Tang Bingfeng is already at the end of the crossbow, please ask him to retreat to the southwest boundary of Shanzhou as soon as possible, and no obstacle is allowed to my Tang army." ”

This time the hunting fans are very grateful and kowtow.

As a result, as soon as the front foot left, Wei Gao said: "You can not cross the Shanzhou border for the time being, but how can Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying in Hexi not beat?" ”

Gao Yue laughed and said that the one who knew me was Chengwuye: "Three days later, the Fengyi army marched north along the Wuzhi River, occupied Guangwu County, and camped at Pipa Mountain, to see what Liangzhou said. ”

Immediately, when Gao Yue and Wei Gao patrolled the camp before nightfall, they found that the remaining more than 20,000 Xifan prisoners of war were all sitting neatly and neatly with their knees in accordance with the original regulations of each Dongdai and each Cao, and they were all slaughtered by the Xiongqi army in the lower reaches of Huangshui as soon as they heard that the repatriated companions had just left Lanzhou City and were slaughtered by the Xiongqi army in the lower reaches of Huangshui, and they were all silent, knowing that it was best to follow the regular army of Tang Xingyuan and Xichuan honestly, because the regular army would be "scientifically slaughtered" according to Gao Jigong's original plan when the siege failed, because the regular army would be "scientifically slaughtered" in accordance with Gao Jigong's original plan when the siege failed, and he was sorry to "scientifically slaughter" them Outside, they won't beat or scold or torture them at other times - but once they leave the camp of the Tang family's regular army, the group of volunteers from the Xiongqi Mountain Village on the periphery will kill them, and it will definitely be ruthless.

After the sun rose in the Yellow River, two generals of the Fengyi Army, totaling more than 7,000 infantry, marched to Guangwu County, and 5,000 prisoners were pointed out, tremblingly following this team, driving cattle and horses for the Tang army, carrying burdens, or pushing wheels.

Just as they were about to leave, several scouts hurriedly whipped them, penetrated into the gate of the barracks, jumped off to report their identities, and then went to the front of the tent of the middle base to report the latest military situation to Gao Yue and Wei Gao:

"The Uighurs killed the great minister Jie Gangas, and the army of my Tang Beiting Duhu, prepared to cross the leopard Wenshan to attack Ganzhou in Hexi, but was defeated by Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying."

"What!" Gao Yue frowned, and then he asked with great concern, what is the loss of Tang Bing in Beiting?

The answer was: After the Beiting soldiers pulled up Shatuo and other troops, there were only 2,000 people, and the original protector Li Yuanzhong had already died, so he was led by the deputy envoy Yang Zhenggu and the Anxi Xiting Xuanxuan envoy Ju Wenzhen, and followed the Uighur army of Jiegangas through Yizhou, preparing to plan the military activities of the main force of the Tang army in Helong.

As a result, at the Hundred Tent Guards in the south of Baowen Mountain, he encountered a small group of cavalry from Xifan, and Jiegangasi rushed into pursuit, and was outflanked and attacked by Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying's subsequent army in the water-deficient Hanhai, Jiegangasi was defeated and fled, and thousands of Uighur soldiers were killed, and the corpses of men and horses were stiff for dozens of miles.

Yang Zhengu and Ju Wenzhen saw that the situation was not right, so they hurriedly retreated to Yizhou, and did not suffer major losses for the time being.

This was in the middle of winter last year, and after the defeat of the Uighurs, Ju Wenzhen sent three henchmen back to the Falcon Road, and returned here in a detour, and it took two or three months before the news was delivered to Gao Yue.

Wei Gao said angrily: "I have heard that the Uighur iron cavalry is good at fighting, so the Holy Lord married the princess of Deyang to Yu Biwuyi Khan, but who would have thought that he would be so weak today. ”

Gao Yue also shook his head: "Originally, I was expecting the Uighurs to assist me in recovering the northern route of Tang Ping, but now it seems that I am too optimistic. Even Shang Jiezan can't beat (stall hands). Then he said to the others: "The Uighur Hu merchants now use the waterway from Lingwu to Jingyuan to sell their business, and they know a little bit about the situation in the country, and the Uighur Khan is now arrogant and lascivious, and he persecuted the Manichaeans, sacked the nine surnamed Hu Shang, and killed his vassals on the left and right, such as Murwei, who could not bear to be exploited by them, or rebelled or left, so the Uighur power has actually declined greatly." ”

The person who came to report also agreed with Gao Yue's analysis, and added that he had heard that a secret envoy from Western Tibet had previously entered the Qarlu and the Baifu Turks, and instigated his army to attack the Uighurs further north.

Hearing this, Gao Yue groaned, and then said: "Fight, the more chaotic the fight, the better, all factions will fight, and they must fight in a big way, not a small fight, so that I, Tang Tian Khan, am in the middle of the arbitration, and it is a bloodless blade." ”

Then Gao Yue's tone was very firm: the policy of the army advancing to Hehuang and Hexi will never waver.

As for the envoys from all sides, let me stay in the camp in Lanzhou to deal with it.

So in the following days, the two armies of Ximen Cang, the protector of Weirong and Xuanwei, continued to attack the river and Tao areas in full swing, and joined the Baoyi army of Ye Shiliangbi; Wei Gao's Fengyi army also advanced to Guzang in the southeast of Liangzhou, and pillared at Pipa Mountain.

At the border of Liangzhou, Shang Jiezan, who had just won a great victory over the Uighurs, was full of ambition and openly showed off to Prince Mudi in the city: "If our army takes advantage of the victory and advances beyond the Futu River, it will only take ten days to reach its royal court, if it is not for the fact that the Tang army has captured Lanzhou and advanced to Hexi, why should we return to the division?" At this moment, the head of Wuyi Khan must have been beheaded, hanging at the gate of Liangzhou. ”

However, before Shang Jiezan finished speaking, he received the news that the Fengyi army had arrived at the southeast border of Liangzhou, and he was immediately so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Subsequently, Prince Mu Di, Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying, Niang. Ding Ai Zeng, and a "walker staff officer" Yuan Tongzhi gathered together to discuss how to deal with it.

Yuan Tongzhi was eager to return to the Tang Dynasty for meritorious service, and secondly, he was also grateful to Prince Mu Di for saving his life under Ma Chongying's sword, so he offered a plan:

"It's better to negotiate peace with Gao Yue and strike war."

Ma Chongying snorted coldly.

This shocked Yuan Tongzhi's back hair, but he still insisted on saying: Gao Yue just wants to get merit and state and county from us, while Cai Bang and Shang Qixin'er want our net worth and life, and now the plan is to simply appoint Prince Mu Di as Zampu.

"What!" Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying were both shocked and angry.

"First set up Mu Di as Zampu, unite the forces of the Northern Daoist soldiers and the Zen Temple, as long as you can get Gao Yue's approval - you can get the canonization of the Tang family's son of heaven, and then you can justifiably kill back to the plateau, cut off the traitorous ministers, and seize the right position."

dignified Zanpu, is it too miserable to ask for the canonization of Tang Tianzi.

However, Yuan Tongzhi continued to agitate for three inches of incorruptible tongue, "Now that the old Zampu is in the Zen position, Namu Ni is Zampu in Luo, and I Mu Di can also be Zampu in Liangzhou, in this case, whoever can get the canonization of Tang Tianzi first will take the lead." Besides, it was originally the Tang family as the uncle and Xifan as the nephew, and the nephew was canonized and helped by the uncle, so why be humiliated? ”

Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, who have always adhered to the doctrine of Dafan, were very angry, and when they drew their swords and said that Yuan Tongzhi was going to sell Ganliang for glory, they would kill him on the spot.
