Chapter 109: Internal Response

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Uighur tribal alliance was an important part of the Turkic Khanate.

In the first year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty, the Hui and other tribes rose up against the Ashina tribe and gradually became stronger.

In the twentieth year of Tang Zhenguan, Hui Hui cooperated with the Tang army to defeat the Xue Yantuo regime, and the leader Tumidu proclaimed himself Khan and accepted the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty divided six prefectures and seven states in its place.

In the third year of Tianbao, with the help of the Tang Dynasty, the Hui destroyed the Turkic Khanate and established the Hui Khanate.

At this time, the area controlled by the Hui was growing stronger and stronger, stretching from the Ergun River in the east to the Ili River valley in the west.

How is An Zhongzhi, who is a Hu person, unclear about this history?

An Zhongzhi secretly thought in his heart: Indeed, as Chen Ping said, if Tang Gou saves the prince of Hui, he will be able to get the full support of the Huifu people!

Hui Jing Riding is famous in the world, with the support of the Hui people, Tang Gou has added a great help, and why bother to arrange a small Neiying to his side?

Moreover, Guo Chen is a high-level general of the Shuofang Army, if these two people are bitter tricks, then the risk and price of sacrificing Guo Chen in exchange for trust are really greater!

An Zhongzhi thought for a while, and finally waved his hand, "Loosen the tie for the time being!" ”。

Chen Wenzhou was untied, moved his muscles and bones, and arched his hand and said, "General Xie." ”

An Zhongzhi looked at Chen Wenzhou coldly: "Don't be complacent first, I advise you to be honest, if I find out that you have any abnormal movements, hum!" ”

Chen Wenzhou smiled faintly, ignored An Zhongzhi's threat, and said: "General, as the old saying goes, Lu Yao knows that horsepower will see people's hearts for a long time, and Chen is an enemy or a friend. ”

An Zhongzhi said with a smile, "That's the best!" ”

Chen Wenzhou looked outside and said: "General, now that Guo Ziyi is in the army, it is only a two-day trip from here, and the girls surnamed Guo are very skilled, and she may not have brought other helpers when she came out!" We have a total of more than a dozen people here, and there are hundreds of war horses, if Guo Chen goes and returns, although the general and all the strong men are brave, but it is better to be careful, if you want me to say that it is best for us to hurry up! ”

An Zhongzhi glanced at Chen Wenzhou and said to the people around him, "It's almost cleaned up, right?" ”

The subordinate nodded, "Drinking water and dry food have been replenished." ”

An Zhongzhi nodded, "Let's go!" ”

At that moment, An Zhongzhi and his entourage escorted Prince Ye Hu to get up and enter Jingcheng Road, because they were carrying hundreds of war horses, the speed of travel slowed down, and they arrived at Jingcheng Pass in the morning of the next day.

Jingcheng Pass, located in the middle of Jingcheng Road, was garrisoned by Li Qincao with 3,000 men and horses.

Sixty miles to the east is Tumen Pass, where An Zhongzhi's 3,000 men and horses are guarded. After the Tumen Pass, it is Changshan, and Yan Gaoqing serves as the Taishou.

Originally, according to An Zhongzhi's intention, he rushed back to Tumen quickly, but Chen Wenzhou confirmed that it was imperative to tell the Jingcheng guard Li Qincao the news of Guo Ziyi's entry into Jingcheng.

An Zhongzhi felt that no matter whether Chen Wenzhou was friend or foe, it was appropriate to strengthen the defense, so he agreed to Chen Wenzhou's suggestion.

"Childe, it's been a long time!"

"General Li has been absent for a long time!"

An Zhongzhi and Li Qincao exchanged pleasantries.

"Seeing that the prince looks good, it must be that the prince Ye Hu who was back to the court was captured by the prince?" Li Qin laughed.

An Zhongzhi smiled proudly: "Hahaha, this Prince Ye Hu is really cunning!" The younger brother began to pursue the Hui prince from Fan Yang, which lasted for a month, and saw that the prince Ye Hu was about to enter the Hui region, but fortunately he finally captured this person at Yanmen Pass. ”

Li Qincao congratulated him: "I have taken the prince of Hui, and the son is a great achievement!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Wenzhou beside An Zhongzhi and asked, "Who is this?" ”

An Zhongzhi looked indifferent, and he really didn't know how to introduce this uninvited guest.

Chen Wenzhou also knew that An Zhongzhi had a grudge against him, so he smiled at Li Qincuo and said: "Under Chen Ping, who was originally under the command of General Gao Xiuyan of the Jingbian Army, has been lurking in the Shuofang Army, and learned about the military situation of the Shuofang Army the day before yesterday, so he fled overnight, wanting to bring the news out, but was caught by Guo Chen of the Shuo Army, fortunately An Gongzi saved his life!" ”

"Oh?" Li Qincao was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this unattractive Chen Ping would actually do an internal response in Shuofangjun!

So he asked, "I wonder what news Brother Chen has learned?" ”

Chen Wenzhou said with a solemn face: "The Shuofang army is preparing to raid Jingcheng Pass!" ”

"Really?"

Li Qin was taken aback, he was the general of Jingcheng, and the Shuofang army was about to enter Jingcheng Pass, which was undoubtedly the most valuable information for him!

At the moment, he said: "Now the lord has connected Luoyang and Shaanxi County, and the soldiers have sent Tongguan, and once Tongguan is broken, Chang'an can be smashed directly, and then Tang Dog's world will be completely over." It stands to reason that Guo Ziyi should go south to rescue Tongguan at this time, why did the soldiers send Jingcheng? ”

An Zhongzhi also looked at Chen Wenzhou to see what he said, An Zhongzhi still didn't trust this sudden internal response in his heart.

Chen Wenzhou shook his head and said, "General Li, Jingchengkou is the last gateway to Hebei, and if you break through Jingchengkou, you can go straight to Hebei and enter Changshan." Changshan is the hub of the northern capital Fanyang (the Anshi rebels take Luoyang as the capital, Fanyang is called the northern capital) and the front line of our army, occupy Changshan, threaten the northern capital Fanyang to the north, and directly attack Luoyang to the south, so that our frontline people and horses are exposed to the enemy. If Tang Dog attacks Fan Yang, then our army will have to go back to the division to rescue, this is Tang Dog's method of encircling Wei to save Zhao! ”

Li Qincao nodded and said, "Yes, Changshan is a strategic location, and occupying Changshan can cut off the connection between the rear of our army and the front line." ”

Chen Wenzhou continued: "Second, from Mayi to Tongguan, there are our army's men and horses in the middle, several lines of defense, Guo Ziyi wants to go to the rescue, but I am afraid that it is a fool's dream, rather than so wasted effort, it is better to open the well and threaten the rear of our army!" ”

Li Qincuo pondered for a long time and nodded, "Brother Chen is right. In my opinion, Hebei is empty at this time, and Tang Dog is an opportunity to take advantage of it! ”

An Zhongzhi said: "Shuofang's army has marched eastward all the way, and has won successive battles, General Li must be cautious!" ”

Li Qincao frowned, with a worried look on his face, and said helplessly: "My Hebei Xiongshi was taken to Luoyang by the lord, and now Hebei's troops are insufficient, and I only have a few thousand people in my hands, how can I stop the Shuofang army!" ”

An Zhongzhi listened to Chen Wenzhou's analysis, and also sensed the seriousness of it, so he said: "General Li, don't worry, I will go to Hebei immediately and let Hebei send reinforcements, you just need to hold on." ”

Li Qincao arched his hand and said, "Then I will thank the son first." ”
