It is not difficult to break Tongyangtai City, but it is not easy to completely destroy the defenders in the city, Shen Leng ordered the four gates to be blocked but the strength is not enough to support, the scale of Tongyangtai City is not small, 30,000 troops can not complete the siege, the east gate is the main attack, the troops account for most of it, and the other three gates are besieged but not attacked, but the defenders of Houque State were not fooled, and did not mobilize most of the troops to the east gate to defend it, but chose the weakest place to break through at the first time, shouting slogans to coexist with Tongyangtai City, Que Yuesheng made a decision with the fastest speed, Abandon.

After the city was broken, Shen Leng ordered to shout Xiao Zhang Zhenren everywhere in the city, and quickly found the person.

Two and a half days have passed since this battle, and Blackeye and Zhou Dongwu arrived in La Jia City, and they were all stunned when they learned about it.

General's Palace.

Tan Jiuzhou looked at his generals: "At this time, it is not appropriate to continue to attack Houque, so I will send one person to lead 3,000 troops to Tongyangtai City to garrison, see what reaction is made by Houque State, and order the scouts to reconnoiter around." ”

The generals obeyed, and someone found that Shen Leng was not there.

"What about An Guogong?"

"Alas......"

Tan Kyushu covered his face and bowed his head: "Shameful!" ”

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, General?"

"What's wrong, General?"

Tan Kyushu sighed: "I was deceived by a charlatan, so where is An Guogong, it's a fake!" ”

At this moment, the whole hall was blown up, and everyone was stunned, the one who broke through Tongyangtai City with 30,000 new troops was a fake An Guogong? How is this possible, when An Guogong came, the general went to the city gate to personally greet him, and it was not the first time that the two of them met, how could they admit their mistakes?

"General, what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, General, I have also seen An Guogong, and An Guogong was also here during the last battle with the Tubo people, and we fought side by side, so we will never admit our mistakes."

"I thought it was true, too."

Tan Kyushu looked angry: "I didn't see a flaw, just because I was familiar with that face, so I didn't even check his iron card, who would have thought that it was a fake, just now, from Chang'an City, there was a deputy commander of the Ouchi guard who brought people to come, saying that someone pretended to be An Guogong along the way, and they took this fake An Guogong back to Chang'an for trial at the behest of His Majesty." ”

"This ...... That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

"That's right, how can it be fake, even if the person is fake, but the momentum of leading the troops to fight is absolutely not fake, is the person who came made a mistake?"

"How could it be wrong! This is the second time I've seen An Guogong lead the troops, and it is impossible to make a mistake. ”

"General, let's take a closer look."

Tan Kyushu stood up, looking really angry and ashamed: "I really didn't see anything wrong with this person, not only did the faces look very similar, but the voice was enough to be true, or the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard came with black eyes and identified this person on the spot in my room, and checked his general's iron plate and found that it was a fake at all, where is the iron plate, it is carved from a wooden card." ”

Everyone looked at Tan Kyushu with a confused face, and they didn't believe that someone dared to pretend to be An Guogong.

"He is a young man who admires An Guogong and thinks that he can also achieve a career, so he will pretend to come to Western Xinjiang."

"What about faith?"

Someone questioned: "General, didn't you say that the letter could not be faked?" ”

"Faith is true."

Tan Kyushu stubbornly continued to lie: "The letter was written to me when An Guogong left Chang'an City, this ...... He was seen because he showed his head, so he was young

People gave birth to such absurd and bizarre ideas, pretending to be An Guogong all the way to the west, this person, this person is also a talent, familiar with the art of war, and has carefully studied every battle An Guogong has fought. ”

Everyone is still incomprehensible, but they watched An Guogong knock down Tongyangtai City, and the general originally rushed over, but when he arrived at the city, An Guogong had already led his troops into the city, which was incredible.

"This is the ...... Ahem, I can't say anything about this yet, let's wait for the interrogation of the black-eyed deputy commander, and I'll tell you if there's news. ”

Tan Kyushu cleared his throat: "You are all working hard, go back and have a good rest, but you can't relax, the big war is coming, you still need to be more cautious." ”

Everyone hurriedly clenched their fists, saying in their hearts that the general looked a little abnormal, but after thinking about it, the general was deceived by a young man and treated the liar as a guest, so the general's abnormality is understandable.

General's Mansion, Study.

Shen Leng sat there and looked at the black eyes: "What kind of bullshit is this." ”

Blackeye: "Do you have a way?" ”

Shen Leng bowed his head.

There really can't be helped, it's all caused by his own negligence.

"And it doesn't damage your reputation, and it doesn't damage Your Majesty's reputation, of course, it damages the reputation of General Tan a little bit......"

Heiyan sighed: "This is already the best way in the middle of no way, you better go back to Dongjiang as soon as possible, I will take the people from the Tingwei Mansion to escort you out of La Jia City in a while, there should be a lot of vegetable leaves in your face at that time, you can ......bear with it."

Shen Leng: "It's good to get a closed carriage." ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren sat on the side and said timidly: "It's all my fault." ”

Shen Leng looked at her: "After you go back, you should think about it behind closed doors." ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes...... But I don't want to go back yet. ”

"Why?"

Shen Leng said: "Your business is over, you should also go back to Chang'an." ”

"I'll stay, I can help."

Xiao Zhang's voice is still very small, but stubborn: "I really ......"

Shen Lengqi's chest was tight.

"Your Majesty's side should also be thinking of a remedy."

The general talked about Kyushu stepping in from the outside: "My side is a little round, but they don't believe it, but fortunately, there is a real deputy commander of the inner guard, so they can only believe in this matter, although it is absurd, but it is better than the real An Guogong here, this matter is not only the negligence of An Guogong alone, I am also responsible." ”

Tan Kyushu sat down: "It's a pity, I originally wanted you to carry the pot of war." ”

Shen Leng said: "A fake backpot is fine." ”

Talking about Kyushu: "I'm already stupid in front of my subordinates, and how much face do I have to spread the pot of a fake An Guogong to start a war on his back?" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "The first time, I didn't worry because of the war. ”

"Just be careful."

Tan Jiuzhou said: "Whether this matter is true or not, someone in Chang'an City will definitely participate in you when you get the news, so you should rush to Dongjiang as soon as possible." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "It takes almost a year to walk from the westernmost part of Daning to the easternmost part of Daning. ”

"That's it!"

Tan Kyushu suddenly thought of a way: "You pretend to be escorted away first, and then I will arrange someone to pretend to be your personal barracks, you go out of the city for a while and then bring people back, just say that I heard that someone pretended to be you to the western Xinjiang, and you who were already rushing to the eastern Xinjiang immediately asked for a decree to come here, and Your Majesty approved it." ”

Shen Leng's eyes lit up: "Sure enough."

Ginger is still old and spicy. ”

"Huh."

Tan Kyushu glanced at him: "Then how do you go back and explain?" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that you had gone to Eastern Xinjiang, and the time was not right at all, and Your Majesty had no way to cover it up. ”

"You'd better go."

Tan Kyushu shook his head: "This matter ends here, and I don't expect you to go to war with your back." ”

Shen Leng couldn't help it, and after discussing with the black eyes for a while, he decided to go out of the city in the afternoon, and select a team of people from the Tingwei Mansion to escort Shen Leng out, and then talk about it after leaving the city, if you rush all the way to the eastern frontier, with the fastest speed, the light car is much faster than the army walking, and it may be possible to reach the eastern frontier in about eight or nine months.

But at this moment, a soldier outside hurriedly ran in: "General, urgent military situation!" ”

Tan Kyushu and Shen Leng stood up at the same time: "What's the matter?" ”

"Western Regions...... The coalition army of the people of the Western Regions is vast and mighty, and it is all over the mountains. ”

Shen Leng and Tan Kyushu walked out at the same time, and Tan Kyushu paused: "You can't go." ”

Shen Leng was stunned.

Tan Kyushu left the study with people, and the soldiers said as they walked: "The Western Regions people coalition army came very quickly, and General Wang Jiusheng, who had just been assigned, took 3,000 soldiers to garrison Tongyangtai City, and only then did he enter the Western Regions Coalition Army, coming from the south, west, and north, countless of them.

"Immediately send an order for Wang Jiusheng to bring people back."

"Come on...... It's too late. ”

The face of the soldiers was extremely ugly: "When I found out the enemy's situation, it was already twenty miles away, General Wang had just entered the city, at least 20,000 cavalry came from the southwest, and 3,000 soldiers went out of the city and were forced back, the enemy should have known the news that Tongyangtai City had been breached, so the east gate of Tongyangtai City was directly blocked, the east gate was incomplete, and many places were destroyed when we attacked the city, and the city gate was gone." ”

"What banner did the cavalry fly?"

"Tibet."

While talking and walking quickly, Tan Kyushu quickly climbed the city wall and looked at the opposite side, the dust and smoke were stirring in the distance, and the black and oppressive army gathered from all directions, at this time Wang Jiusheng's three thousand people could not be withdrawn, the two cities were only separated by dozens of miles, but these dozens of miles of road became a ghost gate, and the armies of the Western Regions seemed to form an incomparably huge vortex, and Tongyangtai City was in the middle of the vortex.

"General!"

All the future is coming.

"General, let me lead the troops to pick up General Wang back."

"General, I'm willing to go too."

"General, you can't wait any longer, the people of the Western Regions are prepared, seeing that the scale of the army has gathered no less than hundreds of thousands, if you don't rescue it, General Wang will be in danger."

Talking about Kyushu's face is solemn, why doesn't he want to save it?

However, in the city of La Jia, there are only a few thousand cavalry, and the conquest in the Western Regions relies on heavy armor, mainly infantry, and even the Western Xinjiang arsenal is also trained by infantry, and at this time, it is useless to attack hundreds of thousands of enemies with thousands of cavalry.

"General, someone is coming this way."

The lookout shouted, everyone looked over, and saw a group of about hundreds of cavalry coming towards the side of Xijia City, and after a while, this group of cavalry stopped around a hundred zhang outside the city, and the young general led by him urged the horse to come alone, and it turned out to be Que Yuesheng, who had escaped from Tongyangtai City.

"Where is Shen Leng?!"

Que Yuesheng looked up from under the city and shouted loudly: "You haven't had time to be happy just now after breaking through my Tongyangtai City, right, isn't Shen Leng very powerful?" Do you dare to fight me now? I heard that in the land of Western Xinjiang, there are many famous generals, but I don't order others, I only order Shen Leng to come out, he attacked Tongyangtai City with treacherous tricks I am not convinced, a battle in the wilderness outside the city, Shen Leng! Dare to come out! ”
