Eight hundred miles north of Dafeichuan, Qinghai Lake is in the city.

Qin Qiong, Shan Xiong, Xincheng, Jin Xue, Wan Che, and Chi Gong, the five marching chiefs, once again received an urgent report of the military situation.

"The Western Turks are coming so fast!"

"Just don't wait, let's send troops." Uncle Shan Xiong believed.

However, the first battle of Qinghai was the emperor's personal expedition, but the emperor sat in Chang'an. Therefore, the former enemy commanded Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng, but these two old commanders did not return to the front line.

The front line is still dominated by the five tiger generals, these five tiger generals, the emperor gave a special order before they set out on the expedition, with Qin Qiong as the main one.

Let Qin Qiong be the main general, and the emperor thinks that Qin Qiong is more secure to use troops.

This time the troops were dispatched, mainly to rescue the heirs, followed by the repulsion of the Western Turks and Tubo, whether they could destroy Murong Ke's uncle and nephew and recover the entire Tugu Mudn or secondary.

The emperor pulled out more than 100,000 men and horses for the five tiger generals, and the five armies were unified with their own armies, but these troops had to be assembled from Heshuo Guanlong Sidao, and at present, the more than 100,000 people were only about one-third, and the rest were still on the road and were speeding up.

Before they set out on the expedition, the emperor's strategy was to gather troops in the city, meet the heirs, and then defeat the enemy, preferably in an ambush battle.

But now, it seems that the situation is not quite right, the plan has not kept up with the changes, and the soldiers and horses of the heir industry have not returned to the north for a long time, but the Turks and Murong Ke's uncle and nephew have moved quickly.

"yes, I can't wait, let's just pick it up." Wei Chi Jingde also said.

But Qin Qiong was still looking through the information that had been summarized.

After a long time, Qin Qiong raised his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before leaving Beijing, Your Majesty confessed, saying that now that our dynasty has not been founded for a long time, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and we need to recuperate and recuperate. Not long after the founding of Great Qin, it was not easy to accumulate this family business, and it couldn't withstand the toss. ”

"Your Majesty's words are still in our ears, and as generals who command the army, we will never dare to forget."

"How can you be afraid of money and food in war? In this case, how can this battle be fought? Wei Chigong asked.

But Qin Qiong still said, "Now that the enemy situation is unknown, the soldiers and horses have not been gathered, it is not a wise move to send troops and go deep into the enemy territory alone, presumably you are not willing to have not yet received the heir general, and as a result, you have trapped us in it, and you want Your Majesty to send troops to save us, right?" ”

"How is it possible, even if we take thirty or twenty thousand horses here, we can kill him all the way in and out!"

"Of course, no one doubts the bravery of General Wei Chi, but we can't take risks easily. Presumably you have also seen some of the previous information, the biggest enemy encountered after going deep into the enemy territory is not Tuyuhun, nor Tubo or Turkic, but the plateau climate in the south, our elite government soldiers, after arriving there, there are fatigue, dizziness, heartache and other phenomena, a large number of soldiers are not combat attrition, very serious, even if they do not wear armor to march, they are also very tired, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

It is precisely for this reason that the emperor said that he would fight this battle in Fuqi City, so as to wait for work and avoid altitude sickness.

"You see this information, it was sent from Dunhuang, Hexi, and it said that the Western Turks outside the Yumen Pass had made a big move and were still gathering troops and horses, and it was obvious that they were going to reinforce them."

Qin Qiong patiently persuaded, "I know that you are eager to rescue, but our task now is not only to receive General Siye, but also to defend Fu Qi City, behind us, not only the royal city of Tuyuhun Fu Qi City, but also the counties of Longyou in Hexi, if the Western Turks come to attack in a big way, we will go deep into the hinterland of Tuyuhun and cannot return to defense in time, and then let the Western Turks kill into the counties of Helong, burn and rob, how can we explain?" ”

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong clenched his fists and said, "Guarding the territory and defending the land is the duty of our soldiers. As a soldier, we should serve the court, and the general died in a hundred battles, so why should I return the body of the horse leather shroud. We must not allow the flames of war to burn within the borders of the country, and let him burn on the land of our Great Qin! ”

"This battle must be defended first, and then attacked!"

Xue Wanche said, "I'll urge again, so that all the soldiers and horses can arrive as soon as possible." ”

Shan Xiongxin said, "I personally took the light horse out to find out the enemy's situation!" ”

After they left, Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, you are becoming more and more handsome now." ”

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly, "I also know that your brothers are no worse than me in terms of military exploits or qualifications, and even the second brother has long been on his own, and his qualifications and military exploits are far above me, but His Majesty has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he does not dare to underestimate the enemy." ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and smashed his fist in the chest, "It's all my own brothers, who would really care about this, I'm afraid now that if Heiye is surrounded, what should I do?" If it is because we missed the timely rescue, we have three long and two short, then I am afraid that we will not be able to explain. ”

The general Wang Luo Siye, who is not only a fierce general of this dynasty, but also the emperor's most trusted brother, if there is a problem in Tuyuhun, once he dies in battle, then no one can afford this consequence.

"Maybe Heiye will be surrounded, but I believe that with General Heiye's ability, he can hold out for a while, which is enough for us to find out the situation and prepare."

Cheng Yanjin could only smile, "I hope!" ”

A few days later, a knight from Dafeiling galloped into the city, bringing with him the latest military information.

"Luo Siye was besieged by 100,000 enemy troops in the Dafeiling camp, with more than 90,000 soldiers and civilians in the village, and there are grain and grass equipment to support about three months, waiting for help."

"Let's send troops!" Shan Xiongxin said directly.

But unexpectedly, Qin Qiong refused again.

"I have another piece of information here, the Western Turks sent 200,000 troops to the east, all the way to attack Hexi, all the way to Tuyuhun."

"So what? Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, first save the general. ”

Qin Qiong said, "Although Heiye sent someone to ask for help, but the letter is not critical, he has tens of thousands of horses, and has food and equipment that can support March, and he is guarding according to the danger, there will be nothing wrong for a while and a half." It's this shooting khan, we must be on guard. ”

"What do you mean, there's no rush there?" Shan Xiongxin said not very happily.

"General Siye is trapped there, but it is not critical, on the contrary, Hexi is more critical at this time, most of the troops from the Hexi counties have been transferred before, and now it is the time of emptiness, so I think that the troops of the Hexi counties should be transferred back to the garrison for defense, and then send additional troops and horses to them to strengthen the defense, and the Western Turkic troops should not be allowed to break into the Hexi Corridor to kill."

"You, you don't care about it, you care so far away?"

Qin Qiong still insisted, "Your Majesty once said that as a general, you can lead an army, command all the way, and fight the battle in front of you." However, those who are handsome must focus on the overall situation, not count the gains and losses of one city and one place, and need to coordinate the overall situation. At present, the troops of Guanlong Heshuo are all coming to our place, if I only care about our side, then the overall situation of the entire west will collapse, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"I have already made a statement to Your Majesty, but it is a long way to go back, so the recital has been issued, but the soldiers and horses of the Hexi counties will also begin to leave Fuqi City and return to the garrison today."

At the end of the military discussion, Cheng Yanjin talked with his old brother Qin Qiong again.

"Your decision may be right from the perspective of the overall situation, but I still have to remind you that Heiye is the emperor's brother, and if you do this now, aren't you afraid of offending this great general king?"

"Siye is also my cousin, why doesn't he want to rescue him early, but now the entire Guanlong Heshuo is involved in the whole body, one wrong step, maybe one wrong step, I have a heavy responsibility, and I don't dare to be careless."
