Chapter 22: The Sea of Snow Dry Ice Four

"Wang Sili, why don't you hurry up and help Captain Li up so that he can atone for his crimes! You little, you have always been open-mouthed and full of lies, and now you dare to deceive someone, you are really impatient! Li Sheng heard that Ge Shuhan meant to let everyone go, so he grabbed Wang Sili's arm and stood up.

"Li Shilang, do you know why you don't blame you for being rude?" Ge Shuhan also jumped off the war horse and asked with a smile, his banter was overflowing, as if he was still the eldest brother of Geshu who was fighting with Li Sheng and them back then.

"The last general doesn't dare to speculate, it's just a 'sincerity' word." Li Sheng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not deliberately get too close to Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan smiled at Li Sheng's answer, and asked Wang Sili instead: "San Lang, do you know what is the flaw in your lie?" ”

"Every lie of a subordinate has a flaw, but others often can't hear it, but the big boss can always notice it." Wang Sili immediately climbed up the pole.

"I think that when Wang Dashuai was still in Longyou, he often frolicked with you, and he knew a little bit about your character." Ge Shuhan raised his head and let out a long breath of white air towards the boundless snowflakes: "San Lang is clever and anxious, and he is decisive in battle, but he is clumsy in generals; Broken and free, the use of soldiers is strange, but he does not like to be restrained; Shiro is taciturn and calm, so he is best at fighting. If Fang Cai is really as San Lang said, Shiro will not come to break through the Tubo army single-handedly, but will outflank him, and he will definitely leave a team of men and horses as a follow-up, so this is a well-known Li Shilang. Therefore, there must be a deception in the words of a certain Saburo! ”

Li Sheng and the three of them couldn't help but lean over, feeling Ge Shuhan's insight. Thinking about it, when Ge Shuhan and the tooth soldiers were on a safari, they had already figured out everyone's temperament.

Shiro said that he didn't want to hunt the West Sea Antelope and the snow leopard, although he didn't agree with Shiro's idea, but he knew that this statement was in line with Shiro's benevolent nature. Although he loves field hunting, he is not a murderer. It's just that the West Sea Antelope is very rare, and the fur is far more expensive than the fox fur, so I want to make the Antelope Qiu to sacrifice the saint and strive for better support for my Longyou Army, not for my own selfish desires. Therefore, Shiro's act of blocking is not to blame. Ge Shuhan said very frankly, his eyes were shining, and he looked exceptionally bright in the overwhelming wind and snow.

After Li Sheng heard this, his heart moved, and the previous annoying bowstring vibration sound no longer sounded so noisy and harsh.

Li Sheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and suddenly looked down and saw the pair of extraordinarily dark antelope eyes, and his heart became as confused as the weather.

Ge Shuhan noticed that Li Sheng's face was blue and purple, changing and changing, so he stepped forward and grabbed Li Sheng's right arm and asked, "What else is there in Shiro's heart?" ”

Ge Shuhan's intimacy made Li Sheng feel for a moment as if he had returned to the days of freedom under the command of the handsome. This warm memory made the steady Li Sheng open his heart and say what was not suitable for the new Longyou Jiedu envoy to say: "The eyes of this Xihai Antelope are like the eyes of a handsome man, and I really can't bear to hurt it." ”

"Handsome eyes?" Ge Shuhan was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and searched for a moment. When he raised his head again, his face was already full of solemnity: "Shiro is really a loyal man!" A certain book is often self-satisfied with the ability to recognize people, but he still underestimates Shiro's mind. When it comes to the changes that the marshal has encountered, this matter involves a wide range of things, and he does not dare to peep at will. At that time, when the incident happened suddenly, when the marshal was ordered to enter the Hajj, he was suddenly blamed by the saint, and was quickly handed over to the three divisions for interrogation, and it was rumored that there was a murder. I wept blood to defend the handsome, and it was difficult to quench the anger of the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, the saint had intelligent ears and eyes, and gradually learned the innocence of the handsome, and only degraded the official position. The saint is very kind to the great handsome, and he will not know whether he will return or not. I know that Shiro is unwilling to understand the grievances of the handsome, and I also know that good men love to run around and be happy with revenge. However, Shiro needs to know that eight times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory. Ninth, all kinds of obstacles are always inevitable. The husband needs to live up to the grace of heaven, live up to himself, and make unborn deeds in difficult and rugged places; And we can't be afraid of the head and tail and be cocooned and self-bound. I know very well that Wang Dashuai is unwilling to attack the stone fort, and I also know his pity for the soldiers. However, the whole world is not the king's land, and the sage's heart to open the border has been decided, and our Tang soldiers can only draw their swords forward and slash the enemy chieftain. And the terrain of the stone fort is so dangerous, it is really a place where soldiers must fight, the stone fort belongs to me, then the West Sea, Sun Moon Mountain, and Dafeichuan line are all under the view of our army, and there is no longer the worry of Tubo invasion; If the stone fort is in the enemy, then the eastern line of Longyou Road is tight everywhere, and Shan, Su, and Lan prefectures are in danger of being broken by Tubo at any time, and there is a danger of being ruined. Therefore, although I admire the benevolence of the marshal, I dare not disobey the will of the saint, and I am willing to take this as a pioneer to seize the stone castle city for the saint and the world! ”

Ge Shuhan's impassioned words deeply shocked Li Sheng, and Wang Sili and Liu Poyu were already stunned when they heard it, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

"Could it be that the big handsome is wrong? Is it all pointless for the handsome to fight to the death? Li Sheng's chest seemed to have a million jade dragons roaring in the flying scroll, and he only felt depressed.

He had no choice but to look down at those black eyes again, hoping for answers and relief.

Ge Shuhan stared at Li Sheng with burning eyes, but when he saw him bowing his head and pondering, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Since Shiro cherishes this West Sea Antelope so much, I will hand it over to you to satisfy what you have in mind." ”

Li Sheng didn't seem to hear the faint dissatisfaction in Ge Shuhan's words, and still stared at the West Sea Antelope on the ground. Suddenly, Li Sheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly raised his head and shouted: "San Lang, quickly ask Ge Shu Jieshuai to go to Yinglong City to preside over the overall situation, there are probably Tubo soldiers nearby who are trying to sneak attack!" ”

Before Wang Sili could react, Ge Shuhan had already asked in a cohesive voice, "Where did Shiro say this?" How did you know that a Tibetan army was coming? These Tibetan thieves are not afraid of the cold, and they may really want to try their luck while the wind and snow are blowing. ”

"Geshu Jieshuai, when the last general was in a trance, he suddenly remembered the words of a veteran who was familiar with the geography of the West Sea, and it was rare to see the West Sea Antelope here in the middle of winter, and when the blizzard occurred, the West Sea Antelope should hide in a sheltered place. And this group of western gazelles suddenly appeared, galloping in the snow, obviously startled by foreign objects. A certain suspicion is that the snow leopard is chasing, but the snow leopard is skinny and not good at running long distances, so it should be the reason for ambushing the antelope halfway, not the reason for frightening the western sea antelope. The most likely thing to do from this is that an army was moving not far away, alarming the antelope herd......"

Before Li Sheng's report was finished, Ge Shuhan had already turned over his horse, took out the order talisman on his waist and threw it to Wang Sili: "San Lang, lead the tooth soldiers, go to Yinglong City quickly, and immediately send 4 regiments of cavalry out of the city to join the light cavalry regiment, and the rest of the soldiers will defend the city with all their might!" ”

Wang Sili grabbed the talisman and galloped towards Yinglong City like a gale.

"Shiro, quickly find out where the Tibetan army is hiding! If there is news, report it immediately! In the blink of an eye, Ge Shuhan has regained his true character as a famous commander in command.

Li Sheng glanced at Liu Poyu, and Liu Poyu kicked the yellow horse and immediately went to pass his life.

Li Sheng said again: "Please go to the city to command, and if there is a general outside, you can ......."

"Shiro doesn't need to say anything more! A certain Zhiru is naked! Ge Shuhan waved his hand and interrupted Li Sheng's words: "But you know that before the age of thirty, he had traveled for a long time in Lingsu, the Western Regions, and the land in the river, and he never flinched because he had encountered many dangers. There are a few Tibetan people, and they can't be scared! Could it be that Shiro is conceited that he is young and brave, and he is cheap? ”

In the face of Ge Shuhan's half-truthful and half-false criticism, Li Sheng didn't dare to insist anymore, so he had to reply: "I knew the heroic posture of the handsome man for a long time, but I didn't want the handsome to take risks." Since the festival marshal was reluctant to enter the city, he begged to replace San Lang and guard in front of the festival marshal's horse. ”

"Don't get in the way of a certain horse!" Ge Shuhan waved his horsewhip, and the war horse roared, and then began to gallop vigorously: "Go with a certain person to smash the Tubo chicken and tile dog!" ”

Li Sheng hurriedly stepped onto Qinghai Cheng, and together with all the tooth soldiers, followed behind Geshuhan's horse. The light cavalry regiment led by Li Sheng had already dispersed according to the fire, and on the vast Xihai Lake, they carefully searched for traces of the Tubo army in the wind and snow.

At this moment, on the vast Xihai Lake, five or six miles away from Yinglong City, a Tubo army of more than 1,000 people on foot and horse, dressed in cowhide armor and covered with white coats, was touching Yinglong City in the snowy night.

The Tibetan general Daang who led the team was particularly anxious, and when he was just marching, he accidentally bumped into a large group of antelopes hiding from the wind and snow. Although a large number of antelopes were shot in time, many antelopes escaped and scattered in all directions.

Daang could only pray to the Buddha for his blessing and not to let the antelope flock spoil the big thing.

Unfortunately, however, Daon's prayers did not avoid the doom that followed.

After encountering the antelope herd, it was only half a stick of incense, and the Tibetan scouts found that the cavalry of the Tang army was constantly approaching in a roundabout way.

Daon knew that the abnormal movement of the antelope herd must have aroused the vigilance of the Tang army patrol, and the plan of the sneak attack had been completely exposed, and the Tang army brigade would inevitably come to attack quickly.

Therefore, Daon urgently ordered to stop the advance and defend in place. His greatest hope has changed from a successful sneak attack on Ying Long City to being able to retreat with his whole body. However, Da'ang knew that although the soldiers of Tibet were as heroic as lions, the army of the Tang Dynasty was not made of mud.

The two sides have been fighting back and forth for nearly a hundred years, which can be described as a snow wolf fighting a giant mastiff, with equal strength and mutual victories and defeats. Whether the soldiers led by himself could repel the attack of the Tang army and retreat safely, Daang was really not sure enough.

On the surface of the vast West Sea Lake, the blizzard is getting tighter and tighter, as if it is a white expanse for thousands of miles. In such bad weather, two armies of more than 1,000 people each are approaching. The rumbling hooves of horses were drowned out by the wind, the shrill sound of golden drums was overshadowed by the snow, and the distance between the two armies grew closer and closer.

Finally, hundreds of feathered arrows flew into the air, and a skirmish began. And this is just an insignificant note in the war symphony that the two empires have played together for many years, and the generals of both warring sides know that the ** of the music is far from playing!
