Chapter 679: the guy and follow me



100,000 against 100,000 under Fengtian City, the elite of the two countries are all here, and the Tang army has the advantage in terms of soldier quality, training equipment, and logistics support, but the veteran Wen Yanzhao is not happy at all.

A month ago, an old friend in Beijing told him that Emperor Li Han was about to issue an edict to amnesty the world, and those who had been involved with Qiu Shiliang before would be pardoned and would not continue to be pursued, Wen Yanzhao had been looking forward to this day coming soon. He is a pure soldier, he has never left the Shence Army in his life, he is a person recommended by Qiu Shiliang, and his relationship with Qiu Shiliang has also passed, these backgrounds make him easy to be labeled as an "enemy party", and he will be liquidated at any time, the reason why he can be safe and sound in a sinister environment is not because of the current enemy, and the court urgently needs to employ people?

If Tubo was defeated and retreated to Longxi, which the veteran had never doubted, the imperial court would not need him, would he still be lucky today? A "hater" with a heavy army in his hands cannot be tolerated by anyone.

Therefore, he thought of retreating, and on the grounds of his advanced age, he immediately resigned from all positions after the war, said goodbye to his old age, returned to his hometown, hugged his grandson at home, served flowers, grasses, insects and fish, and lived for a long time, or it was also a way to live.

But there must be a premise here, the current emperor is a Ming monarch, at least not so suspicious and brutal.

Legend has it that the amnesty edict that will be announced "soon" has not landed for a long time, and Wen Yanzhao has no doubts about the information channels and integrity of the friend in Jingzhong - they have been friends for many years, and they can trust each other with their lives, and they will never deceive him. Then there is only one reason left - the emperor is still wary of him. The "enemy party" is a sword hanging over his head, which can fall at any time and kill him.

The emperor was about to hold the sword in his hand, staring at him coldly behind him, leaving him with a needle on his back and unable to sleep.

With the label of "enemy party", when Wen Yanzhao dealt with the princes of all parties, he trembled, as if he was walking on thin ice on the edge of the abyss, and his confidence was insufficient after all. Of course, even if there is no "enemy party" label pressed, dealing with the Kwantung princes will not be easy, after years of development, the Kwantung princes have full wings, independence is getting stronger and stronger, although it is not enough to catch up with Li Mao's "name Tang Chen, in fact, a different king" independence, but it is by no means comparable to the general feudal towns.

For most of his life, Wen Yanzhao understood what the current poor command of the great enemy meant. That is, a clean reputation is in vain, the loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and the disaster of children and grandchildren. He thought of retreating, but found that there was no way to retreat, judging from the emperor's refusal to issue an edict to amnesty the world, he was not at ease with himself, and he wanted to retreat at this moment, which could only cause him greater suspicion, and there was no way to retreat.

Fight with the Tubo people, and seek a chance to survive in the midst of thousands of difficulties and dangers? It seems to be wonderful and tragic, but the veteran understands that this beauty is just a castle in the air, and this grief and indignation can only be the sorrow before death.

The strength of the three brothers of Aduya and the Pei family has already been touched, and the strength of the first capital is not very clear to him. Although the Long Xiang battalion sent a member of the general to the camp, it could provide very little information. Wen Yanzhao heard that every time Li Mao went on an expedition, the scouts under his command would make the opponent clear in advance, accurate to the point that the opponent ate several meals a day, drank a few taels of wine, and whether he slept with five girls at night or took a handsome little guy to get angry, not to mention his temperament, resume, combat record, etc., although it was inevitably a little vain, but Li Mao's intelligence work was well recognized by the world, or this is the reason why he was able to sweep the world and never experienced a big defeat. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Longxiang Camp was born from the Longxiang Army, the source is Longshou Mountain, which was founded by Li Mao, and Lin Ying is also one of the founding veterans, why is there such a big difference in the individual.

Of course, it was useless to complain, and the veteran decided to send a general out to find out the bottom of the other party. He first consulted with Han Hong, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, and as expected, the old slippery head looked left and right about him, which was more slippery than a loach, and twisted his waist and hips to prevent you from grabbing it.

Wen Yanzhao was not discouraged, he expected that he couldn't catch the old slippery head, and it was not a loach that was easy to catch, it might be a snake. Farewell to Han Hong, he went to discuss with Liu Wu again, Liu Wu looked loyal, he readily agreed to the veteran, and promised to send his only son Liu Congzhi to fight. Liu Congji is good at foot combat and water warfare, but he is not good at using cavalry, and he will lose the momentum in fighting with the Tubo people, who are mainly cavalry. Wen Yanzhao thought about it and felt that he still couldn't use Liu Cong's advice to take risks, lest others say that he didn't understand the art of war and used soldiers indiscriminately, and the towns didn't obey him very much, so if he fell into prestige again, how could he order the three armies? In addition, he was even more afraid that if Liu Congzhi sacrificed his life for the country, Liu Wu would find him desperately. Liu Wu's face of loyalty is obviously pretended, how can a loyal and honest person be a festival envoy in this world, he has been destroyed seven or eight hundred times.

Since Liu Congzhi can't go to war, then find Li Quanzhong to think of a way. Li Quanzhong stayed in Xia Sui for more than 20 years, and knew the importance of cavalry, and attached great importance to the construction of cavalry after serving as the envoy of Yicheng Jiedu, and had a heavy armored cavalry under his command, known as the "Iron Qilin", and its combat effectiveness was not trivial.

The "Iron Qilin" can not only win, destroy the opponent's prestige, increase their own morale, but also find out the opponent's reality and reality, and also retreat with their whole body, which is very suitable and very suitable.

But Wen Yanzhao heard that Li Quanzhong was very selfish, and the iron unicorn was his baby pimple, so how could he use it at will? The veteran thought of a plan, he set up a banquet in the camp, specially entertaining Li Quanzhong, hoping to use his true feelings.

Li Quanzhong came as promised, and the number of courtesies was very respectful, and he would call the younger generation and the next generation, and respect Wen Yanzhao as the teacher. But after drinking the wine, eating the meat, watching the singing and dancing, and even the saber given by the veteran, when the veteran opened his mouth to borrow troops, he suddenly changed his face, stood up without saying a word, shook his face at the veteran with a frosty face, turned around and walked away.

The veteran was stunned inexplicably, and he couldn't slow down for a while.

The "Iron Qilin" can't be borrowed, Tianping, Weibo, and Wuning have few soldiers, and they are all first-class generals of soldiers and horses, so they can't call the shots, so Wen Yanzhao simply doesn't want to be bored.

Kind words pleased, the Kwantung princes still did not give face, forced to attack, it must be perfunctory, failed to achieve the goal, and completely stiffened the relationship, the veteran is one head and two big.

Seeing this, Fengtian soldiers and horses made Liu Fengshan take the initiative to ask for help. Although he is a general under Li Xianyi, he has a heart of public loyalty to the country, respects Wen Yanzhao very much, and almost obeys his words, but because of this, his troops have lost troops and suffered great casualties. His subordinates complained to Li Xianyi, and Li Xianyi also sent someone to let Liu Fengshan do what he could, it is a good thing to serve the country, but don't go overboard and reimburse yourself.

When everyone heard that Liu Fengshan took the initiative to ask Ying to challenge the first capital, they persuaded one after another: "100,000 troops gathered in Fengtian, and the veteran general could not move, only let my family contribute, if my family can break through Tibet, what do you want him to do with these 100,000 people?" The power comes from my family, but the credit should be shared equally by everyone, why? ”

Liu Fengshan said: "At the moment of the great enemy, the country is ruined, and the younger generation complains less, and thinks more about how to kill the enemy to win." ”

Liu Fengshan subdued the generals, and led 2,000 troops and horses to raid the Tubo Army Grain City on another day, attacking it and saving it. The military grain city is located in the rear of the Tubo camp, garrisoned by the original capital army, if this battle can be successful, he will burn his grain and grass, if he can't succeed, he can also try his reality. Most of the 100,000 Tang troops came from Kwantung, and the truth is unknown, but Liu Fengshan was stationed in western Beijing, and he fought with the three brothers of Aduya and the Pei family, and the details are clear. At the beginning, he heard from Aduya and the three brothers of the Pei family about how Liu Fengshan had succeeded, so he secretly decided to completely annihilate Liu Fengshan's department and give the Kwantung princes a dismount.

He dispatched troops and ruthlessly pressed the elite up.

Garrisoning the periphery of the army grain city is Pei Renqu's department, which fought with Liu Fengshan earlier, suffered defeat, and has a shadow in his heart, and the two armies fought only a stick of incense, and Pei Renqu retreated. Liu Fengshan also knew the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, but this time he went out to fight not to repel Pei Renqu, but to test the strength of the first capital.

As a last resort, he could only continue to pursue, Pei Renqu fought and left, and slowly retreated into the valley. This valley is in the southwest of the military grain city, if you can't completely annihilate Pei Renqu and directly attack the military grain city, it is very likely that you will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on your back.

The tentative initial capital was a top-secret military order issued by Wen Yanzhao to Liu Fengshan, and the generals under his command did not know about it, and they all became alert when they saw this situation, and persuaded the commander to order a retreat immediately.

Liu Fengshan didn't listen and forced him to move on. The military order was like a mountain, and everyone did not dare to disobey the battlefield orders, so they had to move forward. The Tubo army grain city stands on the back of the mountain, there is a small hill on the left and right, and there is a camp on the top of the mountain.

Liu Fengshan observed the terrain and ordered to seize the mountain bag on the left, and as soon as the soldiers and horses moved, he suddenly heard a mournful and long horn sound sounding all around, and from the hill behind the army grain city and the two mountain packs, 20,000 Tubo elite foot riders poured out!

The head of the military grain city in front of him erected a big edict from the first capital of Tubo! At the beginning, he personally supervised the formation, and 20,000 Tibetan elites rushed over like a sea of mountains.

Liu Fengshan was in danger, and urgently ordered to capture the mountain bag on the left, his subordinates were all veterans who had survived a hundred battles, and they were in a critical situation, but they were not chaotic at all, erected a wooden shield and charged to the top of the mountain, and rushed to kill nine times in a row, and captured the mountain top military village in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.

Wen Yanzhao has been watching the battlefield movements coldly, and seeing this, he urgently ordered the Xuanwu and Zhaoyi armies to attack the headquarters of the Chudu, ordered the Shence Army to contain the Pei family brothers, and ordered the Tianping and Wuning armies to flank Aduya.

The generals of the Kwantung region looked down on the Tubo people, but the selfishness of the towns was too heavy, and in order to preserve their strength, they were passive and unwilling to use their strength to avoid war, and although everyone was on fire in their hearts, they could only do it in a hurry. Seeing that Liu Fengshan was under siege and in danger, he was already ready to try, Wen Yanzhao gave an order, and the generals came out of the cage like tigers, swarming up, and slashing the past.

Wen Yanzhao saw that there were joys and sorrows, and the joy was that the military heart was available, and the temperance made the bastard, but the sergeant was very kind. The worry is that the towns don't take him as a commander in their eyes at all, and they fight when they leave the village, and there is no rule in the mess.

He urgently summoned the envoys of the towns and the envoys of the soldiers and horses, and demanded that the troops be restrained and used according to his unified plan. Everyone was dissatisfied with Wen Yanzhao's forced attack without consulting them, and seeing that their subordinates were fighting so happily, they couldn't understand the wonderful meaning of the six-character mantra of "preserving strength first".

Everyone said that the army was out of control, and they had no choice, so they could only fight wherever they wanted.

Wen Yanzhao gritted his yellow teeth, and he wanted to give the order to push all the generals out of the military law, but reason told him that he should not be impulsive, and impulsiveness would be a bad thing. He swallowed his anger, both soft and hard, soft and hard, and finally pulled out the words he wanted from between the teeth of everyone. After rectification, the Tang Army of all departments ended the chaos and obeyed the unified command of Wen Yanzhao. With the Flower Ridge where Liu Fengshan is located as the core, a decisive battle was launched with the Tubo coalition army within a radius of twenty miles.

After a day of hard fighting, the front of the Tibetan coalition army was frustrated, and the situation was precarious. At the right time, it rained heavily, and the water was full in an instant. The ground was muddy and embarrassing, and the warring sides were exhausted and unable to fight again.

Ren Wenyanzhao urged again and again, but the various departments still returned to the camp one after another.

The veteran looked at it, drew his knife in his hand, and beckoned left and right: "The fire is ninety percent nine, but the firewood is withdrawn, how can this be done." Those who have parents to support stay, those who have wives and children to take care of, and the rest who are willing to accompany me to death, the guy and follow me. ”

At one point, 300 people followed, stepping on the mud, and marching in the opposite direction against the retreating rebels, shouting forward.
