After finishing the battle, Gao Yue was very, very excited and happy in such a situation.

He announced that under the newly completed military city, all the officers and men of the White Grass Army, including the cavalry of friendly troops, held a sheep banquet: the meat was all from the extinct Nanshan Party Xiang Fanluo, the wine was given by the emperor, and in addition to the banquet, each soldier also shared the reward and clothing, and the whole army was in high spirits, and the cheers shook the entire Hulu River.

But Gao Yue not only wanted to occupy the section of the Hulu River, he wanted to extend the Tang army's front to the north to the entire Weiruchuan River, to the surging Yellow River.

In the big tent of the military city, Gao Yue sat in front of the bookcase and personally granted the generals combat opportunities:

The cavalry of the all-white grass army and friendly armies continued to be used intensively, with a total of 5,000 cavalry, which was handed over to the unified leadership of Ming Huaiyi, and continued to sweep in front of the vanguard;

Gao Gu, Cai Fengyuan, and Tang Jingyan led the three Baicao Army infantry with a total of 6,000 people, and the 3,000 Tutuan crossbowmen who met Wang Tong and Zhang Xi were the rear refusal, and Gao Yue and the supervising army Ximen Cang personally pressed the formation, carrying baggage and equipment, and prepared to follow the cavalry behind the siege and uproot the enemy barriers such as Mingsha and Zhongwei;

The Baicao Military City, guarded by Guo Zaizhen and Zhao Guangxian, set up a military treasury to reinforce the front battle at any time.

Gao Yue was full of ambition when he set off, and his mood was also very happy.

Because Zhihui gave birth to a daughter for him, he already has two boys, Jing'er and Da'er, and he is thinking about a girl!

On the book sent by his wife, Gao Yue attached a letter and sent it back, saying that he would name my daughter "Weiru" to commemorate the battlefield in Xiaoguan in the northwest.

When the brigade of the White Grass Army set off in a majestic manner, even if Ma Chongying's information lagged behind, he knew that he had been outflanked by the Tang Army from all walks of life.

Under the banner of the Red Lotus Fire Tongue that turned over in Gyeongju City, "You mean, there is a Tang Army that swept away your falls?" Ma Chongying held a cup full of tea and said to the scouts of the Nanshan Party who came to report the news.

The group hurriedly kowtowed, but they did not know that they had been wiped out and slaughtered to the slightest.

Ma Chongying groaned, his gray-white eyebrows pressed his eyes and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Tang army can go deep into the Killing Bull Ridge, it means that Shang Jiezan has been defeated, and it may not be possible that the destruction of sand castles, Xiaoguan and even Pingliang will fall into the hands of the Tang army." Then he patted his knees and laughed, and said to the deputies and generals beside him, "Unexpectedly, I was trapped by an unknown person, you seem to be unable to go to Chang'an City this time, my 60,000 soldiers and horses are Zampu's, I have to bring you back completely." ”

At this time, a Nanshan Party Xiang Fanzi who came to report the news said to Ma Chongying that it was not an unknown person who swept us, this person was named Gao Yue, who was the assassin of Yuanzhou in the Tang family, and suppressed the pheasant Qiang in Gyeongju that year. As for this Gao Yue's father-in-law, it is Cui Ning, the former envoy of the Xichuan Festival.

"Oh, Cui Ning!" Ma Chongying is very familiar with this name, and he regrets that he has not been able to fight against famous Tang generals like Cui Ning and Li Sheng.

It seems that this son-in-law is not an ordinary person, I heard that Cui Ning has retired from the office, but the Tang family talents of the Shaozhuang faction have poured out again, after all, it is a big country!

Under the flag, looking at Gyeongju City, where the city wall had been destroyed, Ma Chongying shook his head regretfully.

"It's a failure."

At this time, several scouts in the army riding fast horses came to report, saying that in the south of Gyeongju City, there were a large number of Tang troops, with clear banners and strict armor, and it was discovered that Xiao Fu, the prime minister of the Tang family, was under the control of the system, and it seemed that they wanted to reinforce and rescue Gyeongju City.

"Oh, the Tang family is getting serious." Ma Chongying stood up, touched the horn of the hunting flag, and then asked all the party chiefs to come to his camp, there was something important to announce.

Soon after, the chiefs of dozens of party items such as Pingxia, Liufu, Shizhou, and Dongshan stood densely in front of Ma Chongying.

"The Tang family has mobilized an army of 500,000 to encircle and suppress us from all directions, Gyeongju City-I am not ready to fight again." Ma Chongying got straight to the point.

As a result, the party fell to the chiefs, and all sides were like earth.

They knew that Xifan could leave at any time, but they still had to stay here, and the Tang army of 500,000 people came, and if they couldn't catch Ma Chongying, they would have to slaughter them to vent their anger.

But Ma Chongying laughed and said Don't worry, you are all connected, there are no less than 100,000 soldiers, the Tang family is scattered, and the hearts of the various commanders are not aligned, I have a plan to ensure that you don't have to worry.

The group of chiefs hurriedly asked what he said.

Ma Chongying said that Bai Yu Mountain lies between Saibei and Gyeonggi, the terrain is surrounded by dangerous obstacles, there are many passes, and there are rivers and pastures, copper, iron, gold and silver, and its north and south are fertile for thousands of miles, and there are large and small salt ponds next to it, which is enough to support the 100,000 army to fight for a long time - you might as well take advantage of the Tang army before it has time to encircle, first occupy the mountain passes of Bai Yu Mountain, build fortresses, and reject the Tang army, and then take advantage of its fatigue to wait for the opportunity to ask for peace talks, so that the Tang family can carve out several states of land, and you will be bound and autonomous.

"Then you Xifan just smeared oil on the soles of your feet?" Many party chiefs questioned in their minds.

Of course, Ma Chongying is scheming, he told the chiefs, Xifan may temporarily retreat, but between Lingwu and Yuanhui, the course of the Yellow River is still in our hands, after we recover our vitality, we will immediately raise a large army to grow into this place, and then you will no longer be a scattered situation, we join forces against Tang, why not worry: I, Ma Chongying, swear to all the mountain gods and river gods of Dafan, and when the comeback comes, after capturing the Tang family's Jingshi, Zampu will promise to cede Xia, Sui, Yin, Feng, Lin, Yan and other military states to you, etc., It can build a huge "party country"!

It seems that Ma Chongying is borrowing our hand to drag the Tang Army.

But at this point, there doesn't seem to be a better alternative.

Immediately, Ma Chongying immediately issued dozens of hundreds of badges and ornaments to this group of party chiefs, including gold, silver, and bronze, indicating that they all accepted the appointment of Zampu, and when they were entrenched in Bai Yushan, they had the right to freely attack and plunder the surrounding Tang military states.

After the arrangements were made, Ma Chongying summoned Shang Jiezan's deputy, Xu Li, and said to him urgently: "I must bring back the 40,000 warriors of the Dafan clan, and I will withdraw tomorrow." ”

"What about the baggage?"

"Equipment, baggage, all bulky things, all discarded, even chain mail and spears, are given to these party items, my life is the most important." Ma Chongying said that he couldn't help but complain in his heart about Shang Jiezan (what an embarrassing battle you fought in Pingliang), "Tell all the soldiers, whether it is Gui or Yong, unify the people and two horses, from tonight to tomorrow, in all the mountains of Gyeongju, cut straw bales to carry, and then divide into the front, middle and rear three armies, day and night back to Mingsha, and immediately cross the Yellow River to go back!" ”

At this moment, Xu Li's face was embarrassed, "Our army has no one person and two horsemen at all." ”

"What?"

"Our army is fighting in the territory of the Tang family, and since the spring, the war horses have fallen ill and died a lot, almost causing the plague, so there are not so many war horses at all now."

"Well, if we can't do that, it will be difficult for us to cross the dry sea, and maybe we will be wiped out." Ma Chongying was shocked.
