In other words, Xue Shao would have knocked Wang Xiaojie to the ground a long time ago. You don't need to use the guard's hands or draw any knives, just use a man's fist.

But today, he just turned around and left without paying attention to Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie was anxious, "Hey, are you going to Fengzhou?" ”

"Do what you have to do." Xue Shao paused for a moment, turned his back to him and said, "One last reminder, the lives of the 50,000 soldiers of the Anxi Tiger Division are not your personal property. ”

Wang Xiaojie shook his hand in annoyance, turned around and left.

On the same day, Xue Shao moved to the southwest of the Nuozhen Plain, five miles away, next to a clear river. Someone from the rear wrote that the heavy grain and grass escorted by Duan Feng had already rushed to cross the Yellow River, and it was believed that the materials could be transported here within three days.

This is good news, especially for the wounded who are in dire need of medical care.

Hearing the news of Xue Shao's relocation to the camp, Wang Xiaojie was both proud and a little annoyed, and said to Ashina Zhongjie: "He is about to run out of money, and he still depends on it." Why, you still want to follow behind my Wang and loot some loot from the battlefield? ”

"Xue Shao doesn't lack this thing." Ashina Zhongjie said, "Before he first came to Hehui and returned to Yinchuan, almost all the military supplies for this battle were out of his own pocket. ”

"Isn't this hollowed out!" Wang Xiaojie said with a smile, "That's why I want to make a sum of money and make up for it." ”

"Your prejudice against Xue Shao is too deep." Ashina Zhongjie sighed and said, "After the war, he only took his two hundred parts to the Helong battlefield. Let me say that this is no different from sending you to death. If he is really obsessed with power and wealth, he should stay in the gods and be his concubine and accompany him. ”

"And what is he doing here?" Wang Xiaojie was obviously not persuaded by Ashina Zhongjie, and sneered, "Now he only has a battalion full of wounded soldiers, and he can't even pick out a few war horses that can run in a straight line." Let him go back to Fengzhou to recuperate, I am for his good. ”

"What was going on in his mind, I don't know." Ashina Zhongjie shook his head and said, "But I know that Ashde Yuanzhen is an extremely powerful figure. Gu Lulu was able to build such a strong Turkic Khanate in such a short period of time, and Yuan Zhen made great contributions. In terms of governing the country internally, not to mention, militarily, whether it is against the Tang Dynasty or other grassland tribes in Mobei, Yuanzhen is invincible. The only two defeats were because of meeting Xue Shao. ”

"You mean to say that I'm not Yuanzhen's opponent at all?" Wang Xiaojie said in a deep voice, "This is also the reason why Xue Shao still wants to stay here?" ”

"That's not what I meant!" Ashina Zhongjie hurriedly defended.

"That's exactly what you mean!" Wang Xiaojie was angry and slapped the table table, "It's okay for Xue Shao to look down on me, even you look down on me?!" ”

"I ...... No! ”

"Get out!" Wang Xiaojie finally broke out, got up and kicked over the table, "I don't have you as a brother!" ”

"Brother, calm down!"

"Get out! - Roll on!! ”

Night.

Xue Shaozheng took a few subordinates and personally settled the dormitories of the wounded Li Duozuo, Niu Ben and Guo An. The guards came to report and said that Ashina Zhongjie asked to see him.

Xue Shao blinked in surprise, why did he come?

"Call in!"

After Ashina Zhongjie came in, he knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"You're not a slave in my house, what are you doing on your knees?" Xue Shao said indifferently, "Get up and speak." ”

"Sin General, face Young Marshal Xue speechlessly." Ashina Zhongjie still knelt on the ground and said: "Helan Mountain was defeated, I should have died a long time ago to apologize." ...... survived to this day"

"Alright, let's say something else." Xue Shao interrupted him and said, "Why did you come to me?" ”

"This ......" Ashina Zhongjie looked left and right, there were quite a lot of people, so he hesitated and did not open his mouth.

"There are no outsiders, just say what you have to say." Xue Shao was a little impatient.

Ashina Zhongjie still hesitated, and begged in a low voice, "Or please young marshal, move your steps a little, right?" ”

Could it be something important and intimate? - After thinking about it, Xue Shao still called him to his tent and dismissed the attendants on the left and right, and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Wang Xiaojie is anxious to seek merit, and he is impetuous, and he is a little contemptuous." Ashina Zhongjie said, "I'm worried that he will miss a big thing, so I ......"

"What's the use of telling me?" Xue Shao asked.

Ashina Zhongjie hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I hope that the young marshal can find a way to temporarily remove his military power, or withdraw him to the Divine Capital." Otherwise, sooner or later, he will bury the Anxi Tiger Division! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be you, who have been trying to persuade Wang Xiaojie to return to his division to help in the war, right?" ”

"Yes, it's me." Ashina Zhongjie had a bitter face, "I thought that since he was willing to come, he would put aside his personal grievances and prejudices and cooperate with the young marshal to deal with the Turks together." Unexpectedly, he still can't change his virtue of eating, and he has to be a lone hero who can't help himself. With his ability and his current arrogant virtue, Yuanzhen can make him lose in a moment! ”

Xue Shao was silent for a moment and said, "People who have lost battles often know how to win better. Ashina Zhongjie, you know the Turks better than anyone else, and you do not lack the experience of fighting the Turks. Fang Cai's words, why don't you say them to Wang Xiaojie? As far as I know, he's always valued you as a brother. He can listen to you a little bit. ”

"Hey, don't mention it......" Ashina Zhongjie smiled bitterly.

"Why, even you were blown away by him?"

Ashina Zhongjie shook his head, speechless.

"The only people around me who can give advice have been blown away, Wang Xiaojie, is he really dying?" Xue Shao frowned and sat down, pondering for a while.

Ashina Zhongjie was anxious, "Young marshal, I certainly don't want Wang Xiaojie to be ruined in the south of Yin Mountain. However, the Anxi Tiger Division cannot be cut off overnight! …… Enough of the dead! ”

"yes!" Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh loudly, "The Lingzhou fiasco, the Helong military disaster, the Yinchuan battle, and the battle of Nuozhenshui...... Hundreds of thousands of living beings were buried in this damned war. ”

Ashina Zhongjie lowered his head with a guilty face. The damned war that Xue Shao said began with the fiasco of Lingzhou. And this battle is exactly what he commanded.

"It is precisely because there are so many people who have died and the hatred is so deep that the war does not end so easily." Xue Shao said, "I think it is very likely that Yuan Zhen came to Nuozhenshui in person. Otherwise, the Turks would have withdrawn long ago. ”

"Wang Xiaojie is not Yuanzhen's opponent." Facing Xue Shao, Ashina Zhongjie could be regarded as telling the truth, he said, "The young marshal must not let him take the Anxi Tiger Division to hit Yuanzhen's knife head!" ”

"As you say, should I stage a pre-battle to capture the army?" Xue Shao smiled and said, "Even if I can restrain Wang Xiaojie alone, the rest of the Anxi Tiger Division will not listen to me." ”

"But they'll listen to the other one!" Ashina Zhongjie said.

Xue Shao frowned, "You mean, Old General Wang Fangyi?" ”

"Yes!"

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "General Wang is far away in Bingzhou, and he has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed and has difficulty moving. How can it appear in the Nuozhen water? ”

"Then there's only one last option." Ashina Zhongjie's face was full of grim expressions.

Xue Shao wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him, "What's the way?" ”

"Fake the order of the Queen Mother, and quickly transfer Wang Xiaojie back to Shendu." Ashina Zhongjie said, "And let the Anxi Tiger Division return to the command of General Wang's old general." However, before General Wang Lao rushed to take office, the army was temporarily under the command of Major Marshal Xue. ”

"......" Xue Shao was stunned for a long time, and then said, "Ashina Zhongjie, you are bold enough!" ”

"Young Marshal Xue, I'm a damned person. If I can exchange my head for the lives of the brothers of the Anxi Tiger Division, it will be worth it! Ashina Zhongjie said, "Now, let me fake the order." Young Marshal Xue pretended not to know anything. Just follow the order after receiving it, and you can do it! ”

Xue Shao frowned and pondered for a long time, I'm afraid this is the last resort with no choice. There are always people to die in war, it's just the difference between more and less. If Ashina Zhongjie was really convicted and beheaded because of this incident, this might still be the best ending for him. Because of this, it is better than being questioned by the court and sentenced to death after he returns to the court.

"Young marshal, time is running out, the battle situation is embarrassing!" Ashina Zhongjie began to urge.

"The question is, how can you do that?" Xue Shao asked rhetorically, "Everyone knows that you have always been by Wang Xiaojie's side." Where did you get the time to go back to Shendu and bring the Queen Mother's order? ”

"The young marshal just agrees, I have my own way." Ashina Zhongjie stepped forward with some excitement, hugged his fists and bowed, "Bao Zhun, foolproof!" ”

Xue Shao stared at Ashina Zhongjie suspiciously for a long time, gritted his teeth and waved his hand suddenly.

Ashina Zhongjie bowed with his fists and strode away.

Three days later, Wang Xiaojie's Anxi Tiger Division fought a battle with the Turks. There are not too many soldiers and horses in the war, and both sides are testing each other's current strength.

The scouts of the two armies have also been trying their best to constantly spy on each other's military intelligence. Now it has finally been confirmed that Ashid Yuanzhen has indeed come to Nuo Zhenshui in person. He was accompanied by the first fierce general of the Asid clan, Asid Luohe. He brought with him more than 10,000 cavalry attached to the wolf cavalry, which belonged directly to the Turkic Khan's descendants, and the top elite cavalry in the steppe.

Although the battle situation in this battle was not particularly fierce, Wang Xiaojie suffered a small loss because of his conceit and ignorance of the enemy.

After the Anxi Tiger Division was transferred from Helong to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion, because of the needs of the war, their cavalry team became stronger and stronger, and their combat power was also constantly improving, so Wang Xiaojie was once superstitious about the cavalry ability of the Anxi Tiger Division. In the first battle with Yuan Zhen, he sent 3,000 elite cavalry under his command to the field and served as the main attacker, wanting to win the first victory.

As a result, his three thousand elite horsemen almost lost all their money.

Although they are very capable of fighting, they have no special advantages compared to Tuo and Wolf Riders under Yuan Zhen's command. It is also thanks to Wang Xiaojie that he still has a little ability to respond to emergencies in combat, so he immediately sent Modao and regimental infantry formations to meet the battle and immediately withdrew the cavalry. Otherwise, Yuan Zhen didn't have to spend too much effort to eat up the three thousand fine horses that he was proud of in one bite.

After this battle, Wang Xiaojie seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on his head. He suddenly wanted to see Ashina Zhongjie, who had been driven away by him before, so he sent people to look around. But Ashina Zhongjie is long gone. He even sent people to Xue Shao's side to try to find someone, but he didn't find any news.

Wang Xiaojie fell into unprecedented distress and remorse. Despite this, he still did not give up, and came twice in three days to persuade Xue Shao to lead his troops to withdraw to Fengzhou as soon as possible.

Xue Shaocai didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Duan Feng had already rushed to Xue Shao's camp with heavy grain and grass and logistics troops, and the wounded finally had a more proper placement and rescue, which made Xue Shao breathe a sigh of relief.

But Xue Chuyu still has no news, which really makes Xue Shao have trouble sleeping.
