Chapter 179: One Night
Pang Mi's ambush circle was still some distance away from the junction, and this distance was just enough to wait for the scouts to send the news over, and by then, the Tuyuhun people should have already entered the trap.
It was only a quarter of an hour when Xuan Shijing was on the tower and saw the fire at the foot of the mountain, and there was a faint sound of fighting.
It seems that the Minzhou army has exchanged fire with Tuyuhun's people.
"Someone!" Xuan Shijing shouted.
"The subordinates are here."
"All the scouts in the general have been sent to the border, enter Tuyuhun as much as possible, pay attention to their own safety, and keep an eye on Tuyuhun's reaction." Xuan Shijing said.
When the war starts, it is no longer possible to rely on businessmen to find out news from the people, once the war starts, it will be the people of Tuyuhun, and they will also have a heart of precaution against businessmen from the Tang Dynasty.
Tuyuhun's vanguard suffered such a setback in Minzhou, and Tuyuhun's side would definitely not be able to say anything if he didn't give a little reaction.
Xuan Shijing returned to the camp tent, and Qin Bingyue was still sorting things out in the camp tent.
Sitting in the simple bookcase, Xuan Shijing spread out the paper, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote a letter with enthusiasm.
This letter is addressed to His Majesty Li Er, Tuyuhun is now nominally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so secretly sending troops to invade Minzhou to fight the autumn wind, even if it is an official face, there must be an explanation.
One letter, the same content, one for the time being, and the other, Xuan Shijing carefully packed it into the envelope.
This letter is naturally to be handed over to the top management of Tuyuhun to read, so that they don't know that Xuan Shijing wants to impeach them, and how can they make a fortune from it to subsidize the government of Minzhou?
Xuan Shijing This is a conspiracy, Chiguoguo's conspiracy, using this to blackmail the royal family of Tuyuhun from the beginning.
This letter also contained a few words from Xuan Shijing to the Tuyuhun royal family, which was naturally coercion and intimidation, and this letter, after tonight, would be sent by Gao Yuan to the palace of Tuyuhun.
There are no serious envoys in the army on Minzhou's side, and Xuan Shijing is too lazy to take care of them face-to-face, so he plans to let Gao Yuan quietly put the letter in Tuyuhun's palace.
It can be regarded as showing the strength of his Dongshan Marquis to the royal family of Tuyuhun, and clearly telling them that the Tang Dongshan Marquis wants to win the first rank among the millions of troops, which is very easy.
In the first half of the night, Xuan Shijing had been sitting in the camp tent waiting for news from the front line, although the military camp was not far from the avenue, but under the background of the mood at the moment, Xuan Shijing simply felt that between the two places, it was like a moat.
This is the first battle he has fought in Minzhou, and he will definitely fight beautifully, not only to improve the morale of the army, but also an important opportunity to enhance the confidence of the people in Minzhou.
Tell the people of Minzhou that as long as this team is stationed in Minzhou, Tuyuhun will never dare to invade Minzhou in the future, and the grain after the autumn harvest, in addition to the taxes handed over to the government, will be kept at home safely, and there is no need to worry about being robbed by Tuyuhun's people.
By the time of the two watches, the scouts finally came with clear news.
Minzhou army victory!
The army sent by Tuyuhun quickly gathered together after falling into the encirclement of Pang Mi, resisting the attack of the Minzhou army, you have been fighting back and forth for a long time, these Tuyuhun people were defeated by the well-equipped Minzhou army after all, and suffered heavy casualties, while the casualties of the Minzhou army were surprisingly small.
Equipment is one thing, and the results of these days' training are also a little bit of the reason, of course, the biggest reason is that 7,000 against 2,000, the number of people is superior.
"Master Hou, since the results have already been obtained, Pang Mi, Gao Jun and the others will naturally pack up and go back to the camp, Master Hou might as well go and rest first." Qin Bingyue persuaded.
Now Xuan Shijing is the backbone of the entire Minzhou, he can't fall, look at the night outside, it's really not early, if the rest is not good, it will affect the spirit of tomorrow.
"How could I possibly sleep now?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Come on, prepare the horse." ”
"Master Hou, what are you going to do?" Qin Bingyue couldn't figure it out, it was all at this time, what Xuan Shijing was going to do when he went out.
"Bingyue, you stay in the camp for the time being, and Ben Hou will go to the front line to have a look." Xuan Shijing said.
"Master Hou can't." Qin Bingyue hurriedly stopped.
Xuan Shijing smiled: "Don't worry, if you are worried about safety, you don't have to, there are six or seven thousand people on the front line, is it possible that you can't protect Benhou?" Bingyue, you should rest early, girls can't stay up too late, and besides, the front line is a battlefield, and corpses are everywhere, so it's not suitable for you to go. ”
After speaking, Xuan Shijing got up and walked out of the camp.
There are twelve deputy generals on duty outside Xuan Shijing's camp tent, and only then did Xuan Shijing leave one when he let him prepare the horse, so now there is only one deputy general left outside Xuan Shijing's camp tent.
"Ben Hou will go out in a while, you and the other person don't have to be on duty tonight, go back and rest." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes, Master Hou."
After a while, the deputy general who left sent horses, and Xuan Shijing turned over and ran towards the outside of the camp.
From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, a small road was opened up by the Minzhou army, allowing a person to ride properly, but the speed of riding a horse slowed down, but it was much faster than people's legs and feet, so the scouts who passed the news on both sides were riding horses.
Riding a horse to the road at the foot of the mountain, Xuan Shijing saw the Minzhou army cleaning up the battlefield from a distance.
And the Minzhou army on the periphery saluted after seeing Xuan Shijing.
"Master Hou!"
Hyun nodded at the person who greeted him.
Pang Mi and Gao Jun, who were urging the soldiers to clean up in the center of the battlefield, saw Xuan Shijing arriving and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Hou, why did you come here in person?" Gao Jun came over and asked.
"When I heard the news of the scout, I couldn't help it, so I came over to take a look, I couldn't sleep." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Hearing Xuan Shijing's answer, Pang Mi and Gao Jun also smiled kindly, indeed, this battle was fought beautifully.
"All the enemies are here?" Xuan Shijing asked, "What about the casualties?" ”
"The casualties are still in the future and statistics, as for these Tuyuhun people, they did not escape after being surrounded, but in the fierce battle, I don't know how many people fled the battlefield." Pang Mi said.
"Well, this doesn't matter, I've already asked Gao Yuan to take scouts around the battlefield to guard against it, and I can't let anyone escape back in this battle." Xuan Shijing said.
Pang Mi and Gao Jun glanced at each other and nodded.
"Master Hou, what about these Tuyuhun captives?" Pang Mi asked.
The battle was over, but there were many remaining problems after the war, such as what to do with the prisoners of war.
Among them, some were wounded but did not die, and some surrendered voluntarily until the end.
