Chapter 17: Out of the City

Xuan Shijing recalled some ancient battles written in the war book, combined with some things he knew before, of course, what he watched on TV was completely unbelievable, for example, when the enemy outside hit the city gate or something, there was a bolt behind the city gate, can it be continued? The old people in the countryside all knew that there were two thick wooden sticks on top behind the courtyard gate, how could the ancient generals not even know this.

As soon as he thought of this, Xuan Shijing reminded him that attacking the city is not only about using a ladder to climb the city wall, but also about defending it, and it is not only about staying in the city.

"The news is out, when will Gao Jun arrive in Stone City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It depends on when Gao Jun's side receives the news, I estimate that it will be this afternoon at the earliest." Cheng Chumo said.

"This afternoon" Xuan Shijing pondered, the Tubo people outside must have been gearing up to fight with the Tang Army, if they don't arrange it in time, I'm afraid it will be the Tang Army who will suffer at that time.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Chu silently saw that Xuan Shijing didn't speak, and pondered there alone.

"Brother Chu Mo, if you were the leader of the Tubo people now, what would you do?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Me? Of course, it's a quick fix. Cheng Chumo explained: "When the number of our army is twice that of the enemy, when we encircle and annihilate it, fight quickly, and fight in other countries, there are many factors to consider, soldiers, horses, food and grass, soldiers' food, drink, and Lazar are all within the scope of consideration of the commander of the army, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be." ”

"So I'm worried that if I can't wait for Gao Jun to come back, the Tubo people will attack the city, and if Gao Jun happens to run into the Tubo people, what should I do." Xuan Shijing's gaze fell on the map again, as if he wanted to see through the map.

"Do you want to send scouts out again to deliver the message?" Cheng Chumo said.

"Gao Jun is now with more than a dozen people, I don't know if there are any wounded among them, if he doesn't return to Stone City, there is not much chance of surviving outside." Xuan Shijing said in a low voice, if you send Gao Jun to take people to fight, it's okay to sneak attack the enemy camp or something, but when it comes to survival in the desert, or in the case of wounded, Gao Jun has no experience at all, and it is easy to have a big accident.

Cheng Chumo's brows furrowed, and he couldn't pay attention for a while.

Long'er, who had been on the side, saw that the two of them stopped talking, and she was really worried about Gao Jun in her heart, and when she heard Cheng Chu say that Gao Jun led people to attack the grain road of the Tubo army and only a dozen people ran out, she was faintly worried about Gao Jun's safety.

Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing, who was looking at the map, felt that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he found that it was Long'er, and when he saw the urgency in Long'er's eyes, Xuan Shijing didn't know what to say.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's better for Lao Tzu to lead the troops out and fight with the Tubo people in a real way, it's much more enjoyable than shrinking in this city." Cheng Chu exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to exhale all the depression of these days together.

Xuan Shijing looked at Cheng Chumo walking back and forth in the camp, a little embarrassed, although Cheng Chumo was almost in his first year of standing and was much calmer, but this fiery temperament was still the same as when he was young.

However, when it came to leading the troops out, Xuan Shijing's eyes lit up and he looked at Cheng Chumo: "Give me 200 cavalry." ”

Cheng Chu was stunned when he heard this: "What are you going to do, I said that I would take the troops out to fight with the Tubo people, but I was just talking about venting." ”

"Now most of the attention of the Tubo people is focused on how to attack Shicheng, you stay in Shicheng, and Long'er and I go out of the city to pick up Gao Jun." Xuan Shijing said that he couldn't do it because of the more than 3,000 people in the city who gave up Gao Jun; For the sake of Gao Jun alone, he couldn't ignore Shicheng's comfort, so the best way was for him to take people out of the city.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go out like this." Cheng Chu silently heard what he said and resolutely opposed it.

"No, I will bypass the sight of the Tubo people from behind, even if the Tubo people see me taking people out, so what, it's just that they think that we go out to ask for help or that there are deserters in Shicheng, at this juncture, they will not sacrifice their roots to besiege me." Xuan Shijing retorted: "I can't let Gao Jun live and die outside. ”

"Little Hou Ye" Long'er already had tears in her eyes, she didn't want Gao Jun to have an accident, but she couldn't let Xuan Shijing take risks, Long'er had the idea of why she was not a man at this time

"Are you really going out?" Cheng Chumo looked at Xuan Shijing and said seriously.

"Seriously!" Xuan Shijing's face was determined.

Cheng Chumo took a step forward and waved his palm to slash at the back of Xuan Shijing's neck, and Xuan Shijing took a neat sideways step back, dodging Cheng Chumo's blow.

"Brother Chu Mo doesn't have to stop me, Shijing knows that you are for my good, but Gao Jun has followed me for more than ten years, I will never give up on him, absolutely!" Xuan Shijing looked at Cheng Chumo with burning eyes: "Brother Chumo's move may work for others, but Shijing will not be fooled." ”

Seeing Xuan Shijing say this, Cheng Chu sighed silently and withdrew his palm that was paused in mid-air: "That's it, that's it." He turned around and didn't look at Xuan Shijing, and shouted at Wang Jin and Zhao Ying: "Wang Jin, Zhao Ying, you two go with Hou Ye and Miss Long'er, protect them, otherwise, don't come back to see me." ”

"Yes!" The two of them clasped their fists together and responded: "My subordinates will protect Hou Ye and Miss Long'er to death." ”

"Thank you, Brother Chumo." Xuan Shijing heard that Cheng Chumo had won, and smiled and clasped his fists and saluted Cheng Chumo.

"Whether you succeed in receiving Gao Jun or not, you must take care of yourself." Cheng Chu sighed silently and said, "You could have been a rich and noble marquis, how did you know that you had suffered so many hardships in your life." ”

"There is no tribulation, this is called a defect, Brother Mo, Shijing will go." After Xuan Shijing saluted, he took Long'er out of Cheng Chumo's handsome tent, Wang Jin and Zhao Ying nodded with Cheng Chumo, and also followed behind Xuan Shijing, out of the handsome tent, they also had to go to the camp to order 200 cavalry, and go out of the city with Xuan Shijing.

Chang'an, Miyagi, Taiji Palace.

His Majesty Li Er was sitting in front of the case, looking at the two rows of civil and military ministers below, and asked loudly: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been in close contact in Hanzhou, what do you think of this battle?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji held the Beban, half-bowed his head, squinted his eyes, and waited for the movement in the court.

"Your Majesty." Du Chuke, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said loudly: "The minister thinks that the Tang Dynasty will win this battle, the Tang soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the Duke of Wei Guo is a veteran general on the battlefield, and the Tubo army is undoubtedly a clown." ”

Although he knew that the ministers would say this, but when someone said it, His Majesty Li Er was still a little proud in his heart, but suddenly saw that there were sighers among the courtiers, isn't this the Imperial Governor Li Yifu who has just been promoted?
