Chapter 71: Urging the Three Armed Forces to Reunite I
Time back to the dawn of the fifth day of the sixth month, when Ma Lan and the thin monkey were still tied up by the Gelulu cavalry, on the path more than ten miles east of the grove, Wang Fei, who looked relaxed, rode on the Chiyanhua of his beloved horse, chatting with Ashina Xiaoyun with a match, while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the summer river.

Three days ago, after Wang Fei and his entourage left Suye Valley, they wanted to take a shortcut to the south to Tuozhi City, but they met a group of civilians from Shiguo who were fleeing the war on the way.
Wang Yong exchanged several war horses, and learned from the fleeing Shi Guo that the tens of thousands of Tang troops who had conquered the capital of Shi State had suddenly left Kaizhan Zhicheng a few days earlier and hurried north.
The residents of Shiguo, who lived in the northern part of Tuozhi City, were frightened by the rumors of the Tang army's massacre, and they feared that they would suffer from the fish in the pond, so they hurriedly dragged their families and fled by small roads to avoid the Tang army heading north.
According to the information provided by the people of Shi Guoren, Wang Fei calculated the time and found that the Anxi army should have left Tuozhi City as soon as they learned that Talas was besieged.
"Thank goodness! Gao Xianzhi never delayed for any reason! Wang Fei didn't know why the Anxi army was able to move north quickly, but when he saw that the situation he was most worried about had not happened and the situation was turning dangerous, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.
Wang Fei, who was in a happy mood, hurriedly told Ashina Xiaoyun and others the good news.
Hearing that the Anxi Army had gone north to rescue the Beiting Army, the situation of the siege of Talas City was just around the corner, and Ashina Xiaoyun, Ashina Wenxia and Ayi Tenggana were all relieved and blooming.
Su Sanniang and Tong Luo Puli also learned the news of the Anxi army's northward march from Wang Yong, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Saiyifuddin keenly noticed the change in Wang Fei and the others' expressions, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Wang Yong pondered for a moment, and after discussing with Wang Fei, he openly and honestly informed Anicee and Saiyifuddin of a series of changes in the battle situation.
"How is that possible? Abu?? Muslim actually led an army of more than 100,000 to bypass Tuozhi City! Although Saifuddin was annoyed that Wang Yong had told him too late, he was even more shocked by Abu. Muslim's use of soldiers.
"How the Great Food Rebels avoided the eyes and ears of the Anxi Army, we have never figured out. However, now that the Anxi army has been dispatched, with the talents of Wang Duhu and Gao Jieshuai, Abu?? Muslim will surely fall under the city of Talas! Wang Yong is full of confidence in the victory of the Tang army.
"Farewell King, defeat Abu?? After Muslim, the Khorasan region is empty, is it possible to continue the march westward! "The little princess Enisse was overjoyed to think that the rebel was about to suffer a great defeat.
"Your Royal Highness the county lord, the strategy of the march is determined by the high marshal and the royal capital. If it's not me, a little don't be able to put a beak. As long as Du Hu gives the order, he is willing to accompany the county lord to kill back to Damascus! Wang Yong saw that Anicee was elated, and he couldn't bear to hit her mood.
After listening to Mi Wei's translation, Anicee smiled, but Sai Yifudin stared into Wang Yong's eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.
Wang Yong smiled and met Sai Yifudin's sword-like gaze, his expression calm.
"Dare to ask General Wang, since the Anxi army has left Kai Zhi City, where should we go?" Saiifuddin found that he could not gain the upper hand in the eye contact, so he had to ask.
"Now that Gao Jieshuai has gone north, we will turn around and take a shortcut to join the Anxi army and attack the Great Food rebels besieging Talas City together!" Wang Yong had already made up his mind for a long time.
Looking at Wang Yong's back as he turned to leave, Sai Yifudin muttered to himself: "The day the rebels defeat Talas is probably the end of the Tang Army's westward expedition. Still, Abu?? Muslim is cunning with his soldiers, and there may be something unexpected. It's just that how did he manage to go around the city of Frontier Branches and go north to Talas? β
"What are you talking about, Saiifdin?" Anicee asked, seeing that Sai Yifudin was reading the words.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's nothing." Sa'if-Din shook his head and replied gently and calmly, "I'm just saying, Abu?? Muslim is particularly cunning, and the Don Army must be careful. β
"Sa'if-Din, whatever Abu is?? How powerful Muslim is, I believe in Wang Duhu! Believe in Datang! They will surely be able to defeat the rebels! The simple-minded Anicee was full of confidence.
Saiifdin's heart was full of bitterness, but he could only echo on his face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Tang army should be able to win." β
After Wang Yong and Wang Fei discussed, he immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and rush to Talas City. Calculating the itinerary and route, they would probably catch up with the Anxi army south of Talas.
"The Qarluq people must be with Gao Jieshuai, when the time comes, I must ask Mou Ra Heishan face to face, why his son attacked the Great Cloud Temple at night!" After turning north, Ashina Xiaoyun said angrily in the carriage.
Ashina Wenxia's expression darkened, and she didn't dare to look directly into her sister's eyes.
Wang Fei had roughly guessed that the purpose of the night attack was to snatch Ashina Xiaoyun. But he looked at the bright and lively water lotus, and did not want to tell some disgusting facts.
"Xiao Langjun, what Mou Ra Luo Duo did, could it be that he was instructed by Mou Ra Black Mountain?" Aitengna reminded in a low voice.
"Are the Qarluqs going to rebel?" Wang Fei exclaimed, but he immediately denied his opinion: "According to the Sogdians who had fled, everything was normal in the Anxi army, and there was no change in the Qarluq army. If Mou Ra Montenegro has the intention to rebel, he will definitely act secretly, how can he let Mou Ra Luo Duo act indiscriminately and leak the news in advance? β
Ashina Xiaoyun thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "What Brother Fei said is reasonable. I've only heard of people who do bad things secretly, and I've never seen someone shouting loudly before they do it. β
Ashina Wenxia coughed nervously a few times, bowed her head and didn't dare to speak.
Ayi Tenggena glanced at Ashina Wenxia and said suspiciously: "It's really strange......"
"Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Ashina Xiaoyun shouted happily: "I will be able to join the Anxi army soon, what is going on, it will be clear if you ask him face to face." β
Wang Fei thought about it, Ashina's words seemed lazy, but they were not unreasonable. So he closed his eyes and recuperated and stopped thinking about the Qarluq.
Seeing this, Ashina Xiaoyun also closed his beautiful eyes and rested against the wall of the car.
Ashina Wenxia saw that her sister closed her eyes, so she raised her head and stared at Ashina Xiaoyun, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.
In the midst of her embarrassment, Ashina Wenxia found that Ayi Tenggana was staring at her meaningfully, and quickly turned her head in panic and closed her eyes.
Aitengna smiled and rested in the carriage.
"Brother, where are you? Can I still see you? With thoughts and worries, Aitengana fell asleep.
The long journey day and night made the boys and girls unbearable, and after a while, they all fell asleep in a shallow or deep way.
The dark fragrance in the carriage floats, like musk and orchid.
Wang Fei, who was falling asleep shallowly, seemed to see the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army attacking inside and outside, crushing the main force of the Great Food Rebels under the city of Talas. He was about to rejoice, but saw that Wang Zhengjian and Gao Xianzhi had a conflict over how to deal with the prisoners of war.
A spirit, Wang Fei woke up from a light sleep. He suddenly realized that he had only been happy and had neglected a very important matter, which made him fidget in the carriage.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Fei gently walked out of the carriage, jumped onto Chi Yanhua's back, and drove his horse to Wang Yong's side.
"Uncle Wang Yong, those people from the Shi Kingdom just now said that the Tang Army slaughtered the city in Tuozhi City, do you think it is credible?" As a modern person who has traveled through time, Wang Fei is very disgusted and resistant to the brutal massacre, but he is not sure how the Tang people will view the slaughter, so he was a little hesitant just now.
"It is estimated that it is Feng Changqing's handwriting." Wang Yong thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "As for why you want to slaughter the city, I can't guess. But Feng Changqing's actions have a lot of meaning, and they will never be particularly simple. β
Wang Yong's flat tone made Wang Fei slightly surprised and uncomfortable, he expected Wang Yong to be indignant, but unexpectedly, he just lightly speculated on the ins and outs of the matter.
"Uncle Wang Yong, has the Beiting Army slaughtered the city?" Wang Fei asked nervously.
"Nope!" Wang Yong firmly denied: "Du Hu is not a person who loves to kill. β
Wang Fei's heart was relieved, and he asked: "Why is the Anxi army so ruthless?" β
"Xiao Langjun, do you hate the slaughter of the city?" Wang Yong sensed a clue from Wang Fei's tone.
"Uncle Wang Yong, fighting on the battlefield is a life-and-death contest, if you don't kill someone, you will be killed, so naturally you don't need to be merciful. But if after the victory, the opponent is unarmed and wields a sword, which is really unacceptable. Wang Fei thought of a series of massacres that had occurred in later generations, and his mood was gloomy.
"Xiao Langjun is kind-hearted and has the style of protecting the city, which is admirable." Wang Yong smiled: "In all fairness, I don't want to kill indiscriminately with a knife. But for the Anxi army's massacre of the city, a certain did not want to criticize. β
"Uncle Wang Yong, what do you say?" Wang Fei was puzzled.
"Xiao Langjun, how is Judge Du doing, what do you think?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically.
"Humble and gentlemanly, resourceful and insightful." Wang Fei used three idioms in one breath.
"What Xiao Langjun said is very true!" Wang Yong nodded and said, "Judge Du is extremely enlightened, but he abides by the style of a gentleman. But Anxi's Feng Changqing is different from Judge Du, he is as determined as iron, his eyes are like electricity, and he acts sharply, but he values results over morality, and does not care about the world's discussions. β
"Such a personality is indeed indistinguishable from Judge Du." Wang Fei sighed.
"Xiao Langjun, do you know that many people in the Anxi army are very afraid of Feng Changqing?"
"Hmmm! I heard Captain Ma talk about one or two, with his martial bravery, when he mentioned the judge, the expression on his face was like a mouse seeing a cat, which was very interesting! Wang Fei nodded: "However, Na Cen Zhangshu does not seem to be afraid of the judge, and his words are full of admiration and appreciation." β
"I don't know, maybe it's because the two of them are more compatible, right?" Wang Yong shook his head and said: "Xiao Langjun, although what the judge did was not pleasing to people, Gao Xianzhi obeyed his words, but it was not unreasonable. According to Du Hu, Feng Changqing acted with great scheming and never did useless acts. It can be deduced from this that there may be a lot of articles behind the Anxi army's massacre of the city, and it must not be simply regarded as it. β
