Walking out of the Shuozhou Palace, Liang Luoren, who was walking under the scorching sun, felt cold to the bone! sighed in my heart: Whether this Liang family can go on.

The Liang family, as a Shuofang wealthy family, can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used criminals and displaced people to fill the army in Shuofang, and developed Shuofang into the first front against the grassland peoples.

It was at that time that the ancestor of the Liang family came to Shuofang to gain a foothold, and the ancestor of the Liang family at that time was still a prisoner who had committed a serious crime. Slowly developing, the Liang family has developed step by step in Shuofang despite difficulties. After seven or eight hundred years, the Liang family became the first wealthy family in Shuofang, controlling the political situation in Shuofang. Become a local and important presence.

The turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty was indeed a godsend for the family to grow and develop, but the opportunity often came with great risks. At the beginning, they were confused by the bright prospects laid out by Liang Shidu, but now it seems to be whimsical. Liang Shidu didn't have the slightest imperial talent and imperial mind at all. The outlook for the Liang family is just like the weather right now. It may face annihilation at any time, especially in the current situation, in case the Tang Dynasty attacks the army, wouldn't the entire Liang family have to be buried with the Liang family?

The situation is so serious that Liang Luoren already has to think about the future of their Liang family.

When the generals pleaded for Li Zhengbao just now, Liang Shidu's murderous and lustful eyes could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from Liang Luoren.

In fact, Liang Shidu didn't know that Li Zhengbao did not rebel, he just took the opportunity to play the power to cut Li Zhengbao, Li Zhengbao and Liang Luoren are in-laws, and Liang Shidu is clearly dealing with Li Zhengbao, but he is actually sharpening his knife against him Liang Luoren. This is not the first time, since the destruction of the Tang Army, Liang Shidu has taken the opportunity to cut off the talented people promoted by Liang Luoren, appointed his cronies, and even used disgraceful means behind his back to encroach on his power.

It has reached the point of this internal and external trouble, Liang Shidu is still playing this hand, Liang Luoren is extremely cold, after Li Zhengbao, the next one is Xin Fang'er, Zhao Feiyang, Niu Tong...... Or is it yourself?

His position was that of a general, and he appointed fifty guards to send an envoy to the Turks. As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw a cavalry galloping into the palace!

Liang Luoren's heart tightened, and he felt bad! After thinking about it, he re-entered the palace, and when he walked into the main hall, Liang Shidu was already anxious and said: "The general came back just in time, and the Tang army assembled at the border, saying that it was a training exercise." But what kind of soldiers are you training inexplicably, do you say you're going to fight us? ”

Liang Luoren's expression also changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Now that the King of Jieli Khan is now confronting Tuli, do they want to take advantage of this time to attack?" Capture Shuofang? ”

"Possibly!" Liang Shidu shouted in shock: "Quick, quickly send someone to inform King Jieli Khan, just say that the Tang army is coming, let him support quickly." Also, transfer all the soldiers to Shuofang City, seal the four gates at speed, strengthen the city defenses, and prepare to defend Shuofang City...... No matter what, we must defend it to the death, and we can't let the Tang army conquer it. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will go to the steppe and ask King Jieli Khan to send troops to rescue." Liang Luoren hurriedly received his order.

Liang Shidu shouted: "Oh, when is it, just send someone to it." At this time, where is Shuo Fang missing a general! ”

This is the style of Liang Shidu, the emperor of the Great Liang State, when he needs Liang Luoren, let him work for himself, and when he doesn't need it, he will do his best to deprive him of power.

"Whoa!" Liang Luoren smiled bitterly and came out in response!

They are both troop and generals, guarding Shuofang like an iron pass, completely ignoring the people in the surrounding towns, they shrank like turtles, without the suppression of the army, the people of Shuofang outside the city dragged their families and went to the Tang Dynasty without nostalgia.

And Luo Tong calmly passed through the land of Shuofang, which no one defended, and stepped into the territory of the Turks when they were shrinking from the Liang Division.

**********

The information of the Turkic departments has long been obtained from Li Jing, and Luo Tong's advance this time is not a rush to the eye, but a purposeful and targeted selection of the enemy to attack the enemy, this is the first attack, naturally to choose a weighty enemy.

As a result, the Turkic Toronto tribe became the first target of the trip, and Toronto was fierce and violent, often attacking the Shuofang line in its early years, making the border between the Sui and Tang dynasties unstable.

Toronto fought bravely, loyal to Jieli Khan, won the attention and trust of Jieli, Toronto relied on Jieli's trust, through the war to continue to annex small tribes, in just a dozen years, the development of a small and medium-sized group into a well-deserved large tribe, leapt to become one of the largest Turkic tribes of the twenty tribes.

The population of the Toronto tribe is 150,000, and because everyone of the grassland people is good at fighting, there are 120,000 of these 150,000 people. And Luo Tong's side has 3,000 Modao troops and 300 personal guards, and with Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, and Li Yehei's personal soldiers, the total strength is less than 4,000.

Difficulty does not mean that it cannot be done; Although there was a huge gap in troops, in other respects, the Tang army had an absolute advantage.

Advantage 1: Surprise and attack unprepared. The Turks have been at ease for decades, and they have long lost their sense of distress. A powerful tribe like Duolun with Jieli Khan as the backer, he is already Amitabha Buddha if he doesn't take the initiative to attack others, how can others have the courage to provoke such a behemoth? This kind of arrogant big tribe has never been defended!

Advantage 2: Although Duolun Ermo is an adult, he is a rookie on the battlefield, and he has not experienced the baptism of actual combat, and his ability to respond to emergencies is equivalent to nothing

has these two advantages that are enough to kill the enemy, if you don't do it, then Luo Tong, the commander of the three armies, will also be in vain.

Although Luo Tong had the heart of victory, he also knew that the prerequisite for defeating the weak was to know himself and the enemy, and after giving the order to rest, he and Li Yesi led a few horses to the Londo tribe more than 40 miles away to investigate.

Before dusk, Luo Tong and the others arrived at the top of a hill next to the Rondo tribe, and looked around condescendingly beside a cliff.

Under the illumination of the sunset, the surrounding mountains stretch out, the rock color is as red as cinnabar, the strange peaks are everywhere, the vast and reckless under the morning mist, the scenery is uncertain, extremely strange. Not far away, is the habitat of Duolun that stretches for more than ten miles.

Standing on the cliff and gazing intently, Luo Tong carved in his mind the general distribution map of the Rondo tribe, their tents were layered and scattered, like a gossip game, it can be seen that the person who set up the camp is indeed extraordinary in his chest.

Li Yesi couldn't help but praise: "I can't imagine that the Turks also have such attainments in the layout of the military camp, it's amazing......"

Luo Tong also found a trace of strangeness: "This layout is full of the compactness of the Central Plains people everywhere, it should not be from the hands of the Turks, there must be another master, this layout puts the key person in the center, and can devour the invading enemy with the momentum of a giant beast, and the whole body is full of movement, which is very remarkable." But it's flashy, it's just a scare thing. ”

Li Yesi was surprised: "How can you see it?"

Luo Daodao: "The people who set up the formation did not proceed from the actual and actual situation, if the people guarding the camp were the Central Plains army, they could exert the power of the formation, but the Turks?" Hey hey ......"

Li Yesi thought for a while, and said excitedly: "The Turks are good at attacking but not good at defending, and they pay attention to personal force, they are free and scattered, and they move in a hundred ways, so that they can fight in the established way, it is simply wishful thinking. This Bagua Array seems to be full of mysteries, but once they are attacked, these inherent tents will definitely become the biggest obstacle to their battles. ”

Luo Tong smiled: "This is the key to our breaking the formation. ”

At this moment, a loud horn sounded straight into the sky, and it sounded even more majestic and sad in this vast grassland, which made people's blood boil!

Li Yesi said: "This is the horn of grazing"

Luo Tong nodded silently, he had done a lot of work before coming here, and he had also studied the orders of the Turks.

The two of them looked at each other, and saw that the distant mountains had turned from light blue to deep blue, and the mist was fading, and the sky above was gray—it was dusk.

The end of the grassland in the west is dyed with a long trace of vermilion, and the afterglow of the sunset shines back, passing through the clouds, revealing golden, and shrouding this vast grassland.

All kinds of desolate sounds came from afar on the grassland, from far and near, like the sound of ten thousand drums on the battlefield, touching the heartstrings.

With this desolate and strange sound, in all directions, a wave rolled up a heavy black shadow - this is the beast of the grassland when returning to grazing.

I saw hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, and horses coming in a row like a sea of mountains.

More than 1,000 horses, the leader went first, and immediately the people went straight on their backs and roared.

The gallop of the horses, neat and fast, dark yellow, unrestrained, pouring thousands of miles, like the water of the Yangtze River, pouring down from the sky.

Although the gallop of the cattle is more casual and relaxed, but the process is constantly fighting, and the black cow hair is running horizontally, which seems to be thrilling.

The white flock, but gently and rapidly undulating and fluctuating, in the black dust and yellow waves, there is another unique mood.

Yellow Horse, Black Bull, White Sheep ...... Horses neigh, cows howl, sheep chirp...... Mixed into a desolate and tragic music, like an army of 100,000 marching.

Li Yesi only felt that his blood was rushing, and he couldn't help himself, and he had the idea of looking up to the sky and howling.

Luo Tong, on the other hand, looked at the Chinese army's tent in the center of the Bagua Array, silently remembering the path to it and the place where the cattle returned.

Li Yesi couldn't figure out anything, so he simply looked at this magnificent spectacle, and his heart was relaxed. When he came back to his senses, he saw Luo Tong's knife carved into a flat rock. He took a closer look, but it was a miniature version of the Toronto tribe's "gossip array".

Li Yesi asked expectantly: "Is there a way to break the enemy?" ”

Luo Tong smiled and nodded: "It's actually not difficult to break this gossip array at all!" ”

"Huh?" Li Yesi was shocked.

Luo Tong smiled: "If you want me to say, it is really not difficult to break this Rondo tribe at all, and I am enough alone." But to achieve the greatest results, you need to be good at planning. ”

Li Yesi said: "Don't sell it, you!" ”

"The farming people have a fixed residence, the money is either put at home, or the purchase of land and real estate, but the nomads are also different from the farming people, they live a nomadic life, no fixed residence, it also means that they have no fixed property, and their property is consumed in two ways, one is to wear on the body, the other is to buy livestock, the number of livestock has always been a measure of a person's wealth, therefore, they will cherish the livestock as their lives, if anyone robs them of a cow, a sheep, they may draw a knife against each other, Because of this, they tend to put their animals in the safest places, so what is the safest place? For a person it is the home, for a tribe, it is in the middle of the tribe. Look at ......" Luo Tong pointed to the animals that were still coming out of the gossip array: "Isn't that the truth?" ”

Li Yesi's eyes lit up and said, "Rushing into battle with livestock, right?" ”

Luo Tong nodded and said, "The livestock is too crowded, and the gathering is very slow!" But if it's night, it's not the same if there's a fire. Fire is the natural enemy of livestock, generally speaking, the place where the captivity is raised is hay, and dry manure or something, this fire is ignited, no one wants to extinguish it, this fire down, hundreds of thousands of livestock are like a tide rushing around. In the face of natural disasters, how can human beings recover? I'm going to lead an elite group of men to sneak in and set it on fire. ”

Li Yesi frowned and said: "Once the livestock catches fire, it is not the enemy or me, and how can we ensure our own safety when the fire is together?" ”

"The most dangerous places are often the safest places. As long as we stay in the barn, there will be no incident. You can rest assured about this. ”

Li Yesi said with a smile: "The scene of thousands of horses galloping is really exciting!" Hundreds of thousands of cattle, no pressure to deal with more than 100,000 sleeping humans, after tomorrow night, the Duolun tribe will be removed forever. ”

"Long nights and dreams! Breaking the enemy is tonight. Let's go back and prepare. ”
