The upper room was settled, and Pinri's painstaking persuasion made Nuo Jiao Banner wake up.

"This time to escape the attack of the Tang Army, will you have to escape next time? How long is this going to be a head? ”

Nuo stood up from his seat and pulled out his horizontal knife, and his eyes as sharp as a tiger and wolf looked around to the left and right, so that the fierce Anmouke did not dare to speak, or even look directly at him.

"As Pinri Meng'an said, the old and young women and children of each city can take refuge in the mountains and forests with grain and livestock, and all the other tribal warriors who have horses and bows can assemble in the city of Fune within two days. If I don't drive the invading Tang army back this time, I'd rather die than steal my life like a dog. ”

As Bo Jilie made a heavy oath, the other dissatisfied Meng'an Mouke had no choice but to obey the order, and each returned to the territory to gather the tribal warriors, and at the same time settled the old, young, women and children, so as not to be slaughtered by the Tang army.

It is said that the soldiers and horses under Li Yu's command are not soft at all when they slaughter foreign races, which is in response to that sentence: what kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers.

Like the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, except for Xue Rengui, who slaughtered 100,000 Tiele in the battle of Tianshan, no one dared to unscrupulously connive at the slaughter of foreign races by his subordinates like Li Yu.

After all, the imperial court pays attention to the face of benevolence and righteousness, whether it is dealing with vassals or its own people, the name of benevolence and righteousness must not be lost, this is the demeanor of a great country, and the tolerance and generosity that a civilized country should have.

You don't see Xue Rengui slaughtering Tiele 100,000, and since then Tiele no longer constitutes a border trouble, but it has been exposed by pedantic people in the court, and the court has no merit and no reward.

……

Just when Shangmuro Chengding was busy gathering troops and horses, Guan Yuan, who had conquered Dusk Ridge City, was in the city, and only sent scouts to cross Wandar Mountain to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and explore the traces of Cheng Boxian's troops and horses.

Seeing that Cheng Boxian's department did not appear for a long time, Guan Yuan garrisoned in Dusk Ridge City without any action.

Ren Qiang, who was puzzled by Guan Yuan's move, came to ask: "Crossing Wandar Mountain to the north is the Qitai City garrisoned by the Funi people, and the soldiers in the city who can fight are not much stronger than Duling City, why did the governor stop his troops?" Doesn't this give the people of the Whine a chance to breathe, so that they can calmly gather their troops and horses to fight back? ”

Guan Yuan raised his eyebrows, threw down the knife in his hand that was cutting the roasted deer legs, and asked rhetorically: "Our army is only 3,000 soldiers, on the other hand, the news from Cheng Bo is that there are more than 8,000 soldiers who can fight, although we have eliminated more than 1,000 in Dusk Ridge City, we can still pull out more than 6,000 soldiers and horses." Before Cheng Boxian arrived, our army rashly entered Wanda Mountain, which had to walk more than 100 miles of mountain roads, and the terrain was unfamiliar and there was no one to contain the Funi people in the north, so it was very easy to be ambushed by the Funi people when marching in the mountains. At that time, the whole army will be wiped out, and it will also affect Cheng Boxian's department, can you afford this responsibility? ”

"I can't afford it."

Ren Qiang was not surprised.

Sekihara didn't care either, and continued: "Our army conquered Dusk Ling City, the stronghold of the Fune people in the south of Wanda Mountain, this time, and destroyed nearly 2,000 enemies, and captured a lot, which can be described as a great victory, and it doesn't hurt to be aggressive anymore." Compared to the defeat that may result from rashly crossing Wandarshan, the results we have achieved now can be explained in front of His Highness, so why let the army take risks......"

Ren Qiang threw away angrily, he could see that Guan Yuan was a person who did not seek great merit, but sought no mistakes and was cautious. Expecting him to lead his army to wipe out the Nirvana in one fell swoop, it is better to deploy his troops in Dusk City according to his wishes, lest he enter Wandarshan and encounter the enemy, and his command is ineffective and he will be defeated.

Nuo Gejiao hurriedly rushed to Qitai City after gathering troops and horses, but learned from the garrison Pinri that after the Tang army captured Dusk Ling City, it only sent a large number of scouts to the north, and had no intention of going north.

Omuro Chengding laughed and said: "I didn't think that Wang Hu was defeated by A Shimu and dismissed by Tang Yan Wang I don't know where to go, Guan Yuan, who took over his position as Xuanwu Weiyun and Governor of Meituo Lake, was actually a person who was satisfied with a little advantage, and lost a good fighter to defeat us in one fell swoop." As long as our army sends a strange army to quietly cross the Wanda Mountain and unexpectedly appear outside the city of Dusk, it will definitely be able to recapture the city by surprise. ”

"What my cousin said is reasonable, but who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Nuo Gejiao has not experienced the real sense of battlefield fighting, the test of capturing the city, and the suggestion made by the sworn elder brother Shangmuro Chengding thinks it is feasible, but it is a question of who to send to lead the army. The Meng'an and Mouke of the Fune tribe don't need to be filtered, they have no experience in this area, and Nuo sent the upper room to Chengding, and he lacked a person to plan for him, and he was unwilling in his heart.

No looked at Pinri to the side, hoping that he would take the initiative to take the burden of retaking Dusk Ridge City.

Shangmuro Cheng had already recommended a candidate in his heart, and when he was about to speak, Pin Ri said another shocking news: "I learned from the captured Tang Army scouts that this attack on us is not only the Tang Army Xuanwu Wei south of Meituo Lake, but the initiator is the Phoenix Guard led by Cheng Boxian, the Heishui Governor in the east, who is coming straight to the Funi Department at this moment, and I don't know where they are now?" ”

When Nuo Gejiao, Shangmuro Chengding and others heard this, their shocks were beyond words.

This is still a problem, the Tang army in the south has not been solved, and a Tang army has been killed from the east, and they don't even know their current location, but the soldiers who can fight in the Fu Ne Department are all concentrated in Qitai City. Is it to divide troops to resist the enemy, or to concentrate troops to destroy the Tang army all the way first, or to retreat into the mountains and forests, looking for opportunities to fight again?

Uemuro Chengding carefully analyzed the current crisis faced by the Funi Department in his mind, and proposed: "It has been five days since the Tang army on the southern road conquered Duling City and has done nothing, even if they have to climb more than 100 miles of Wanda Mountain in the north, and there are still seven cities blocked at the exit, our army has many chances to defeat it, and the threat is relatively small, so it is enough to leave a partial division of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses on guard." The main force immediately returned to Yashan City, the direction from which the Tang army might come, and sent scouts to the east to search for traces of the Tang army. Although there is an endless plain to the east of Yashan City, it is densely covered with swamps and dense forests, which is difficult to pass, and it must be that the Tang army is still trapped in it and exhausted, and it is a good time for our army to take advantage of its exhaustion and defeat it in one fell swoop. ”

Nuo Gejiao carefully pondered the plan made by the upper room, and according to the current situation, there was only such a way, but: "The Tang army on Nuonan Road went north out of Dusk Ling City, and the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses left behind were difficult to win, and then our army would not be attacked on both sides?" ”

"Rest assured, the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses left in Qitai City are just for a leading role, and they can't do anything, so they can retreat to the mountains to take refuge. Our army failed to annihilate the Tang army on the east road, and directly crossed the river north into the northern wasteland, but the Tang army could not catch up, and they did not dare to continue to chase. The wooden platoon that crossed the river could send 500 men back to the city of Fune to set up a plan, so that they could cross the river when our army retreated. ”

"Then according to the words of the upper cousin."

Nuo Gejiao immediately ordered to go down, originally wanting Pinri to lead more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to contain the Tang army on the South Road in Qitai City.

A total of 7,000 elites of the Fu Ni Department went north under the leadership of Nuo Gejiao and Shangmuro Chengding, leaving more than 1,200 old and weak people under the command of Shui Liding to be stationed in Qitai City, closely monitoring the movements of the Tang army south of Wanda Mountain.
