More than 600 miles to Youzhou, the situation in the Qianhetao area where the Great Zhou and the main Turkic forces competed, the situation quietly changed again, and the situation slowly leaned towards the side of the Great Zhou. Wang Xiaojie led the army to the north and pressed on the Modu army, forcing the Modu army to retreat.

The two sides confronted each other on the large grassland between Luliang and Yinshan, with one side facing Qingshan and Jinhe, and the other side leaning on Luliang and Zihe, and the battle was uncertain.

On the vast steppe, a cavalry battle of 1,000 men was unfolding, and the battle lasted less than two quarters of an hour, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, leaving the battle circle, and the Turks retreated.

Such skirmishes between the two sides, with ranger strangulation, have been especially many recently, and there have been victories and defeats for each other. But this time, it was clearly the Zhou cavalry that had the upper hand, and the Turks retreated a little embarrassed.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" He was about to ride his horse in pursuit, but was stopped by a burly man with a sinister face in the formation.

The man was wearing the armor of an ordinary officer, but what he showed was the bearing of a thousand armies in his hands, a strong style, and extremely strong. This is the deputy marshal of the Zhou army of the Northern Turks, the general manager and general Wang Xiaojie.

He was followed by elite horsemen who had been pulled out as tooth soldiers, and their training and equipment were all of the highest quality, which was something that ordinary Turkic rangers could deal with. However, if the Turkic cavalry knew that the commander of the enemy army who had forced them to breathe was here, they were afraid that they would desperately call for someone to kill him.

As soon as Wang Xiaojie spoke, the momentum of the pursuit suddenly disappeared, and the subordinates who were originally about to move immediately calmed down. The strict discipline can be seen, just like this, it shows Wang Xiaojie's talent in commanding the army. Although he has an impatient and even perverse personality, he is very loved by the soldiers in the army. This is a general with an extremely distinctive personal style, brave and resolute, strong and domineering.

Looking to the north, Wang Xiaojie had a cold face and pulled the reins of the horse: "Go back to the camp!" ”

"General, we can annihilate this Turkic army!" On the way back to the camp, the pro-army general was still a little unwilling, and whispered in Wang Xiaojie's ear.

Glancing at it, Wang Xiaojie had a satisfied look in his eyes, the soldiers were eager to fight, at least to prove that the military spirit was available.

"Even if you kill these hundreds of Turks, it will be difficult to break the current stalemate, and rashly pursuing them may attract more enemy cavalry, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!" Rarely, Wang Xiaojie explained to his subordinates.

Touching his beard, Wang Xiaojie's eyebrows were full of sorrow, and he was a little confused in the past few days. Na Mo Du was a strong army, but the more he fought, the more conservative he became, and he retreated all the way from the Zihe line to Jinshui, and even the partial divisions of Sheng, Shuo, Wei, and Yun were completely retracted. Even the harassment of the army's baggage transport was noticeably less.

The movements of the Turkic army, in Wang Xiaojie's view, are extremely abnormal. He led a large army to approach, originally intended to test the temptation, but it had no effect, except for the two sides of the rangers fighting on the grassland, there was no greater movement.

The Turks, it seems, are deliberately avoiding a large-scale confrontation with our army? Wang Xiaojie had this thought in his mind, why? I couldn't help but look back and look north.

What's wrong with the Turks? Or is Mordo planning some conspiracy...... For a while, Wang Xiaojie had a headache. Beyond military conquest, he could hardly figure it out.

"Welcome back to the camp!" rushed back to the camp, and in a cheer, Wang Xiaojie went straight to the handsome tent.

The guards led the horse and fell down, and Wang Xiaojie was not bad.

"General, the Duke of Eguo has returned to Yulin!" Before the account was recorded, a general in command of the army came to Wang Xiaojie's side and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaojie's face suddenly showed unhappiness, and he said coldly: "As the commander of the army, when he was facing the enemy, he actually broke away from the soldiers without authorization and abandoned his comrades, then Xue is too reckless!" ”

Saying this, General Wang's expression was uncontrollable joy, without Xue Huaiyi's eyesore, he would have a lot less unnecessary constraints in commanding the army, after all, until now, Xue Huaiyi is still the nominal commander of the army.

The people around probably understood Wang Xiaojie's thoughts, and when they saw his performance, they unconsciously smiled. Sure enough, after returning to the account, Wang Xiaojie laughed a few times.

The insolence in General Wang's personality is still extremely strong, and he rarely hides his likes and dislikes. Before Xue Huaiyi, he hung up his name, and he had to point fingers at him, and he also had to share his military exploits, which he really hated.

"General, now that the soldiers are all thinking about war, do you think when we will directly attack the Turkic battalion, take down the dog head of Namodu, and cast immortal merits to repay the Son of Heaven?" Sit down, there will be a commander next week will speak, full of ease.

Wang Xiaojie glanced at the generals in the tent, and most of them smiled, obviously thinking the same thing. It should be that the upper hand has gained more and more in the past few days, which has made General Zhou Jun confident.

Wang Xiaojie was also in a good mood, with a little smile on his face, and suddenly turned to the only general in the tent with a serious expression: "General Guo, I watched the lieutenant generals and colonels of the camp, all of them were happy, and they were eager to fight to attack the Turks. You are the only one, frowning, a big difference, why is this? ”

was named by Wang Xiaojie, named Guo Zhen, the character Yuanzhen, this time as the right Xiaowei Zhonglang general, with the army to fight. This is a Confucian general, born as a scholar, but not a good type, when he was young, he was more out of the ordinary, and he did some illegal things, but he was highly valued by the empress, and he has been steadily promoted to this day.

As he grew older, he gradually reined in his edge, but he still had the arrogance of a literati. Glancing at Wang Xiaojie, a "brave man", Guo Yuanzhen said lightly: "I just think the generals are happy too early. The two armies have been facing each other for nearly a month, attacking and defending several times, and the Turkic side has retreated, but it has not hurt its muscles and bones. We are still facing tens of thousands of Turkic horsemen, and it is not easy to defeat them in this Hetao steppe. Moreover, our enemy maneuvered with cavalry, which was easy to defeat and difficult to annihilate! ”

"Also, the recent movements of the Turks are somewhat unusual, and perhaps they are playing some tricks. We don't know ......" Guo Yuanzhen sat upright and talked eloquently.

"General Guo's words are too much, I have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou, steadily advancing, and the Turks dare to attack me? Besides, what tricks can the Turks use! Probably because he couldn't see Guo Yuanzhen's demeanor, someone immediately retorted.

Seeing this, Guo Yuanzhen just smiled and didn't say anything......

"General Guo is right!" Seeing that the people below still wanted to argue with Guo Yuanzhen, Wang Xiaojie spoke: "As far as the general observed, the movements of the Turks are indeed a little strange! This war is related to the peace of the country, and you must not underestimate the enemy, lest you be taken advantage of by the Turks! ”

Commanding an army of 200,000, Wang Xiaojie also had to be careful, although he fought fiercely, he did not dare to be careless.

"Obey the general's teachings!" Seeing that Wang Xiaojie was so serious, a cadre of generals hurriedly bowed.

Although he doesn't have a good impression of Guo Yuanzhen, his words coincide with him. Touching his beard, Wang Xiaojie had a headache when he thought about it.

"I wonder what General Guo thinks about the situation in front of him?" couldn't think of a reason, Wang Xiaojie asked Guo Zhen, who was staying there peacefully.

Guo Yuanzhen chuckled a few times, his face was full of X-likeness, and he was about to say something, when he heard a small colonel announce in a loud voice: "General Qiyu, the general of Hebei Province, and Di Renjie, the governor of Youzhou, has a military report!" ”
