Chapter 46: The Unexpected

After Xue Rengui led the main force away, Guo Zhifeng, as the deputy commander, led 20,000 troops to set up a fence on Dafeiling to build fortifications to protect grain and grass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, he led the army to crusade against Tibet, and Guo Zhifeng, who received the imperial military order, was very surprised. After holding himself as a famous general Guo Xiaoke, whether it was in Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo a few years ago or in Shanzhou in recent years, his military exploits were no worse than Xue Rengui. The official position is on the same level as Xue Rengui, and his status is even higher than Xue Rengui, who is only from Yihe Dongtian Shefu. Why, is he a subordinate to the Lord and the Self?

The arrogant Guo Beifeng was unwilling to be under Xue Rengui in his heart, and before Xue Rengui left, Guo Beifeng, as the queen of the famous family, hid his disobedience to Xue Rengui's state of mind very well, and outsiders did not notice it.

At present, Xue Rengui divided his troops to attack Wuhai, and Guo Zhifeng led an army by himself, and he was extremely excited.

Datang is not the only one Xue Rengui who can fight, and I, Guo Zhifengsi, are no worse than you.

Before Xue Rengui left, he discussed with Guo Beifeng and other generals that Guo Beifeng would take the baggage to defend the danger in Dafeiling, and then set off with the baggage to join Xue Rengui after Xue Rengui attacked Wuhai. If Guo Beifeng had previously carried his baggage and was in danger and encountered an enemy attack, he could rely on the fortifications to resist the enemy, and support until Xue Rengui came back to defeat Tubo after the victory; If Guo Beifeng led his baggage to converge after the battle in front of Xue Rengui, then when Tubo attacked Guo Beifeng, Xue Rengui could lead his troops to support Guo Beifeng in time and flank the Tubo army.

But Guo Beifeng didn't want to implement Xue Rengui's plan, if according to Xue Rengui's combat strategy, Xue Rengui was undoubtedly the most meritorious person in this battle after the victory, and he Guo Beifeng was just a foil for him.

After I Guo was named a famous general, I have experienced decades of battles and countless achievements. When I went into battle, you Xue Rengui was still working as a farmer at home, how could it be a stepping stone for you to become famous today?

Look at how I, Guo Beifeng, took the heads of the Tubo people in Tuyuhun and revived my father's reputation in the Western Regions.

The camp purchased by the Tang army on the Dafei Ridge lasted three days, and on the third day after completion, Guo Zhifeng ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and march westward.

The subordinate generals were very puzzled by Guo Beifeng's order, and several people raised objections.

"General, Chief Xue ordered us to defend on the Dafei Ridge at risk, and then go to join him after the chief manager wins. But Chief Xue has only been gone for six days, and there is no military order, so we will leave the camp and go west, isn't this a violation of the military order? ”

The generals frowned sadly, and what they thought in their hearts was that the west was the center of the Tuyuhun homeland, and there were tens of thousands of Tubo troops stationed.

Guo Beifeng looked at the generals with cold eyes, and after seeing Guo Beifeng's unhappy face, the generals automatically swallowed back the words that came to their mouths. As the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current management. At present, Chief Manager Xue is leading the army south, and Guo Zhifeng, the deputy chief manager, is their head, and if he does not obey the order, he is likely to be dealt with by military law.

Seeing that the generals consciously closed their mouths under their cold gaze, Guo Beifeng eased his face and said: "The generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it." What's more, the sentinels sent out a few days ago reported that the Tubo army stationed in Tuyuhun's old capital Tuyuhun City was moving eastward, marching slowly and not elite, while the Tubo army in Fuqicheng also moved, and the Tuyuhun people in various places were also being requisitioned by the Tubo people. At this time, if our army held the camp, it would be besieged by enemy troops several times its size, but General Manager Xue might not be able to rush back to the rescue in time in Wuhai, which was hundreds of miles away. At present, the only way for our army to take the initiative to attack is to take him by surprise when the Tubo army fails to assemble and weaken the strength of the Tubo army left behind in Tuyuhun. Next, we can be more confident in defeating the hundreds of thousands of Tibetan main forces that returned from Anxi. ”

The generals who were originally puzzled and worried heard Guo Beifeng say this, and they also felt reasonable, the camp they spent three days building was not a strong city, and if they were besieged by several times the enemy army, they might not be able to hold out for a few days, so it was better to kill the Tubo army before it was assembled according to Guo's strategy.

The generals who have fought for decades still understand the truth, and the generals who originally disagreed with it are now wisely shutting their mouths.

The generals had no objections, and Guo Beifeng satisfactorily ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and march westward, and the barracks that had been put up by risk and fortifications were not demolished, and they were completely preserved.

Guo Zhifeng always had a feeling in his heart that he might come back here.

Due to the large amount of baggage he carried and the speed of the march was not fast, Guo Zhifeng had no choice but to leave the part of the baggage of the main force led by Xue Rengui at the barracks, and left two thousand baggage soldiers to continue to guard, only bringing the baggage of the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

When building the camp, the selection is the dangerous place of the mountain ridge facing the Dafei River, the fence is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the surrounding Tuyuhun and Qiang herdsmen have already seen the Tang army brigade when they are scared away, there is Xue Rengui's main force in the south, Guo Zhifeng in the west and personally led the army to attack it, and there is no Tubo army for hundreds of miles in the north and east, so he is not worried about safety.

Guo Beifeng led 18,000 men and horses to the west, including 5,000 soldiers who were Guo Beifeng's soldiers and horses who had guarded Shanzhou in recent years.

When Xue Rengui took Wuhai in the south, Guo Zhifeng led the army westward. The Tibetan Prime Minister Qinling was leading the 100,000 elites who had urgently retreated from Anxi to march to Tuyuhun City.

Ascending high and looking far away, Qinling looks to the east, there is his lifelong enemy - the Tang Dynasty is waving troops south, in the name of our country's capital Luoluo, the Tang State is not small this time! Not only do we want to restore the country for Tuyuhun's fugitive Khan Nuo Hao, but also want to take our capital directly after defeating me.

I, Gar Qinling, will not let your wishful thinking of the Tang Kingdom succeed!

"Xue Rengui, back then, three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, killed 100,000 people surnamed Tiele, and made great achievements for the Tang State to destroy Goguryeo, and his reputation was almost the first general in the Tang Dynasty, even my Tubo was spreading your prestige, which made me look forward to fighting with you." Qin Ling was not worried about the upcoming battle with the famous Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui, and his heart was full of excitement to compete with Xue Rengui.

The Tang State is the largest country in the world, after Li Ji's death, Xue Rengui can be said to be the first general of the Tang Kingdom, if I can defeat it, not only to the outside world to shake the prestige of the country, to protect the power of my Gar family in Tibet, but also to weaken the influence of the Tang State on all ethnic groups in the world.

The Western Regions that had just been captured were consolidated, shattering the Tang State's delusions about the land of Tuyuhun. Our Tubo country is bound to prosper day by day, and in the future, it will press the Tang State from a high position, completely grasp the initiative of the war, advance the battle line to Tang Longyou, Hexi, and Jiannan, and plunder the local wealth and slaves to strengthen our Tubo.

"Ukrainian Navy Emergency." A sentry looked anxious and rushed to Qinling, presented the letter in his hand and said: "Three days ago, the Tang army raided the estuary, the Wuhai guard general Luosang was killed, and more than 16,000 of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his department were annihilated. ”
