As Li Guangbi was running, the military fortress in the far northwest rose with wolf smoke, which was particularly conspicuous in the windless clear sky. Li Guangbi's footsteps stopped suddenly, staring in the northwest direction, and his face changed suddenly: The northwest enemy attacked, and Gyatso's soldiers and horses came so quickly! "Report, the northwest enemy is attacking, and the Tibetan soldiers are coming!"

"Report, Tubo invaded Zhanfei Sichuan Fort!"

The bugle whimpered, and back to DÀng was in the wilderness, and a group of soldiers galloped in. Li Guangbi stomped his feet fiercely, ran to Zhang Xuan's handsome tent, and strode in∨ Xuan and Li Jun were laughing and talking about something, and suddenly saw Li Guangbi breaking in with an unsightly face, he couldn't help frowning÷ the situation was urgent, Li Guangbi didn't care about whether Zhang Xuan was happy or unhappy, and hurriedly arched his hand, "Dashuai, the northwest enemy is attacking, and the Tubo people have occupied our army's fort!" ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "The Tubo people are coming quickly!" However, Guangbi should not panic, this battle, there is no need to care about temporary gains and losses, losing a few forts is nothing. Li Guangbi sighed lightly and said respectfully, "Marshal, please forgive the general." Our defensive line retreated, concentrating east of Doma and at the foot of Jishi Mountain, leaving a large gap on both flanks. If Gyatso and Shami's troops take advantage of the weakness and our army is attacked on three sides, I'm afraid it will ......" Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Guangbi and said indifferently, "Do they dare to come?" To be honest, Ben Shuai was afraid that they wouldn't dare to come! Zhang Xuan Huoran got up, walked to the map, and pointed his finger, "There are only less than two people in the whole army of Gyatso, this time Gyatso was ordered to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Liangning Prefecture, and Hexi will flash out of the gap, if Hexi Ge Shuhan waves his troops westward, he must end Gyatso's lair!" "Therefore, Ben Shuai expected that Gyatso was just a bluff and drove straight into the hinterland of my Liangning Prefecture? Unless he wants to completely abandon the Hexi defensive line. Geshuhan's Hexi Army horses were not vegetarians. Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, and pointed to Feichuan's location and said, "Shami is the same ♀, both of them are local military marquis in Tubo, and it is almost impossible to support the army and divide one side with their own dignity, so that they will not hesitate to work for Stanley." "Therefore, the commander expected that in this battle, the real opponent of our army was the 20,000 men under Stanley. This is the reason why Ben Shuai ordered you to concentrate your superior forces and fight with Stanley's soldiers and horses east of Doma. Li Guangbi was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said softly, "Marshal, the war is unpredictable, and there are no certain rules, if Gyatso and Shami really go straight in, then how will our army deal with it?" Zhang Xuan turned his head to look at Li Guangbi and laughed loudly, "Guangbi, it seems that you are still not at ease, afraid that the commander will make a mistake in judgment and cause our army to suffer defeat...... Li Guangbi's face tightened, and he bowed down and said respectfully, "The last general will not dare!" Zhang Xuan took a few steps forward, patted Li Guangbi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If Gyatso and Shami really dare to invade my hinterland, then Ben Shuai has already laid out a pocket, and he will be able to make an enemy urn at any time." Ben Shuai had ordered the defenders of the capital to cross the Chiling Mountains and ambush them on the side of the source of the river. According to the time, Guo Ziyi led an army of 20,000 to Zhaozhou. If Gyatso and Shami's soldiers and horses attack and enter the pocket formation of the commander, Guo Ziyi goes out of Yaozhou, the capital army blocks the mouth of Baihai, and your 40,000 soldiers and horses return to the division, and our army of 70,000 people surrounds and annihilates more than 20,000 people in Tuqiang District, what is the problem of catching turtles in the urn? Well? Li Guangbi suddenly realized, smiled ashamedly, and hugged his fists, "The handsome and wise, the way of using soldiers is unpredictable, and the last general sighs to himself!" Zhang Xuan laughed, "Guangbi, lead the army to kill the enemy, I am not as good as you, but if you plan the battle, you are not as good as your own handsome!" ”

Evening. The smell of burning horse dung and cow dung was dispelled by the howling northwest wind, and the soldiers of the Tang army wrapped in thick cotton clothes, or sat around the bonfire and whispered sī, or ran to patrol the sentry posts, and the whole camp was silent. Speechless all night. But just as dawn broke, it was the coldest moment of winter in Liangning Prefecture, when suddenly, there was a violent movement in the northwest, and the neighing of people and horses became higher and higher-pitched, breaking the tranquility of the camp. The whimpering and desolate trumpets sounded again, the patrolling soldiers poured in from all directions, and the generals also rushed out of their respective tents, gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters in the shortest possible time, lined up in formation, and prepared to respond∨ Xuan quickly put on his clothes and armor, wrapped in a thick cloak, and rushed to the gate in the northwest direction surrounded by more than 100 guards.

A team poured from the grassland in the direction of Feichuan, and from a distance, half a soldier and half a common man∨ Xuan stood outside the gate, and could clearly hear the cries of the women in the team, and saw that the cheeks that were red and chapped by the cold wind were floating with grief and horror∨ the corners of Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. At a glance, it can be seen that this must be the soldiers and people who fled from the non-Sichuan grassland. On the Feichuan line, there are hundreds of Tang troops stationed and three forts, guarding hundreds of immigrants to open up wasteland there. Obviously, although Gyatso's soldiers and horses did not drive straight into Liangning Prefecture, they still sent a small number of military horses to occupy Feichuan, and it was already expected by Zhang Xuan to take the three forts ♀ on the periphery of the Tang army. Although he had already asked desperate people to let the people retreat in batches, he did not expect that Gyatso's army and horses came so quickly, so that some of the people had not completely withdrawn, and they were attacked and plundered by the Tubo people on the way∨ Xuan was silent for a moment, sighed lightly, and ordered the soldiers to immediately open the gate and collect the soldiers and people who had fled. He turned around and was about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that in the team that came in a hurry, there was a tall soldier carrying a thin girl on his shoulder, and the girl's figure was hesitant∨ Xuan sighed in his heart, suddenly turned back again, and rushed out of the gate first∨ did not expect that Huanniang and her father Hu Kan were in Tuntian, the first line of Feichuan. In fact, it is winter, and it is not the best season in Tuntian, and these immigrants in Feichuan are nothing more than surveying the boundaries with the help of military soldiers to prepare for the opening of the wasteland in the spring of next year. Just as the father and daughter were slowly retreating to the hinterland of Liangning Prefecture with everyone following the military order, a Tubo cavalry of four or five hundred people suddenly rushed in, and the three hundred Tang troops guarding it fought desperately, and most of them were killed and wounded. On the battlefield, many people also suffered from the disaster of pond fish, more than 100 people died in the trampling of the Tuchu iron cavalry, and the rest were lucky to flee back in a hurry under the protection of the remnants of the Tang army. Fortunately, Tuqiang's soldiers and horses did not continue to pursue south. Hu Kan died in the chaos, and Huan Niang escaped by luck, but found her father lying in a pool of blood, and fainted on the spot due to excessive fright. A Tang sergeant found the Pingxi King token that fell out of Huanniang's body, and was shocked, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he brought her back.

Along the way, Huanniang was almost crying hoarsely. She was only seven or eight years old, her mother died early, and only one father was left to rely on. Now that his father is dead, for a child, this is the thing where the sky has fallen∨ Xuan took Huanniang from the hands of the soldiers, looking at the despair and sadness in Huanniang's eyes, as well as the shock hún's undecided panic, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and the hand holding Huanniang trembled slightly. "Glow... Huanniang looked at Zhang Zhu with blank eyes, her small mouth twitched slightly, and her shriveled mouth chún cracked one after another, raising her little hands, but she hung down weakly. "Daddy is dead, Huan Niang is bitter...... Wow......" Huanniang suddenly howled hysterically, lying in Zhang Xuan's arms, her almost frozen body twitched violently∨ Xuan hugged Huanniang tightly, her shoulders trembled, and a line of hot tears finally couldn't help but flow. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. "If the people were allowed to retire two days earlier, why not! Ill-conceived and ill-conceived...... caused the people to suffer a war disaster, and I am also at fault! Zhang Xuan handed over Huanniang, who had fainted from crying in her arms, to Hua Nu'er, and looked up to the sky with a long sigh of grief. In fact, the two armies are fighting, the war is changing rapidly, Zhang Xuan is a man after all, not a god, and it is impossible to cover everything∨ Li did not expect Gyatso's department to come so quickly, in his entire overall plan for the campaign, this is a small omission. "The marshal doesn't have to blame himself, the army is fighting, there are some casualties, and it is inevitable that the marshal will mourn!" Li Guangbi stood behind Zhang Chai, clasped his fists and said softly∨ Xuan turned around suddenly, looked at Li Guangbi and said categorically, "Guangbi, how far are the Stanley soldiers and horses from my camp?" Li Guangbi pondered for a moment and replied, "Dashuai, I have reported that the soldiers and horses of Stanley are less than three hundred miles away from me. ”

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Quickly pass on the commander's military order, and order the Heyuan Capital City Guard to bypass the Triangle City to standby; Ordered Guo Ziyi to lead the army to march day and night, and be sure to reach Feichuan within two days! "Ben Shuai wants to personally lead these 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Shaliu River, and take Gyatso's nest, and snow today's hatred!" Zhang Xuan turned around abruptly and strode away. Li Guangbi looked at Zhang Xuan's back, let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to convey Zhang Xuan's military order∨ Xuan's warm handsome tent, Huanniang was covered with a thick quilt, was held in her arms by Hua Nuer, fed a bowl of hot broth, and her mental condition improved slightly∨ Xuan sat on the edge of the chuáng couch, held Huanniang's still a little cold little hand, and said softly, "Child, are you better?" You will stay by my side in the future, Huan Niang pursed her mouth tightly, and suddenly cried and threw herself into Hua Nu'er's arms.

"Good boy, Huan Niang doesn't cry" Hua Nu'er gently patted her back with some pity, and comforted her softly. Huan Niang gradually stopped her grief, turned around and looked at Zhang Chai with teary eyes, but she couldn't say a word∨ Xuan felt a pain in her heart, sighed and held Huan Niang's little hand, and gritted her teeth. "Hua Nu'er, you take good care of Huanniang, I'll come when I go." After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Huo Ran got up and walked out of the big tent with a sè face. @。
