After finishing speaking, Jiang Li stood under the hall and didn't dare to say anything. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong glanced at each other, both showing shocked expressions.

Cheng Biting Jin said: "No, Fu Yan is dead, and the enemy army has no generals who are capable of fighting well, just by virtue of that one named Sun Xiang, a mere deputy general, he has such great ability?" ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "It's definitely not Sun Xiang!" With such a careful layout, ambush and ambush, ambush and ambush, and know how to figure out our minds, using the old general Wei Chi as bait, the means are so clever... The Xiliang Army has the guidance of a master. ”

Xu Maogong was a little scared when he thought about it at this time, and at the same time admired it.

reminiscing about the plot; The enemy first evacuated the White Tiger City, threw the danger to the Tang army, and then planned to go to the front of the meeting to pursue, so he set up an ambush and ambushed Wei Chi Gong eighty miles away, but he did not repel for a long time, leading the Tang army to come to the rescue, and then, in the fifty-mile valley, ambushed the reinforcements of the Tang army, one plan after another, there was no mistake at all, if it wasn't for Jiang Li's early withdrawal, I am afraid that no one would be able to escape!

How could such a scheming be thought of by a mere lieutenant general?

Xu Maogong thought about it, and finally said, "Maybe... It's Li Heng! ”

"Li Heng?"

"Yes, Li Heng is the minister of state of Zhou Gandang, the king of Xiliang, I heard that he has always been smart and valued by the king of Xiliang, these days, the army of Xiliang has been defeated in successive battles, Xu is Zhou Gandang is no one to use, so he asked the minister Li Heng to come to command the army, but I didn't expect that it was such a scholar who would defeat my Tang army when he laid down such a chain..."

"This Li Heng should not be underestimated..."

Jiang Li interjected: "Yes, under his layout, my soldiers have almost no ability to react, at the beginning of the battle, they are in a predicament, and it is difficult to escape, especially outside the valley, there are a lot of bows and arrows, and before we can catch our breath, half of the remaining soldiers are dead." ”

"Strategist, I'm very worried about General Wei Chi now, I don't know what happened to him, what do you think... He.... Cheng Yanjin's expression was solemn, originally he wanted to ask, are you still alive? But when the words came to his lips, he held back again.

Xu Maogong knew what Cheng Yanjin was going to say, and he said: "Whether it is dead or alive, the enemy will send a letter, let's just wait." ”

"I hope General Wei Chi is auspicious."

Cheng Yanjin sighed.

Thinking that if Wei Chigong died in battle, the morale of the Tang army would be damaged, and he had no intention of fighting, Cheng Yanjin felt a headache, especially since Wei Chigong had a very good relationship with him, and he lost such a friend...

Two days later.

There's finally news ahead...

Li Heng's army, which was stationed in Vermilion Bird City, sent someone to send a letter, which clearly stated that Wei Chigong had been killed in battle, and now the corpse was in the hands of the Xiliang army, and if he wanted to return the corpse, he would send someone to Vermilion Bird City to negotiate with him. If no one comes within five days, Wei Chigong's body will be cut by a thousand knives, and his head will be hung on the head of Baihu Pass.

And, at the same time, the news also spread in the White Tiger Pass, and both the people and the soldiers knew the news of Wei Chigong's death.

Obviously, this is Li Heng's strategy, deliberately spreading the news, so that Cheng Biting Jin and Xu Maogong will be difficult to ride the tiger.

After receiving the news, the generals in the army were silent for a long time.

Cheng Yanjin found Xu Maogong and the eldest grandson Wuji, and sighed: "Alas, this time, we have suffered a big loss. not only lost 40,000 elite cavalry, but also folded the old general Wei Chi, how to explain this to the emperor. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It would be good if we didn't go after the White Tiger Pass after we got it." ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? Is there a regret pill to sell? ”

"Ugh..."

All three sighed at the same time.

Now it's very passive, completely pulled by the enemy's nose.

In particular, the letter said that if no one was sent to negotiate within five days, Wei Chigong's body would be broken into 10,000 pieces and his head would be hung on the city. This is simply a provocation by chiluoluo!

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to be so presumptuous? Xiliang Jun is afraid that he is also the first person.

Xu Mao said fairly: "But no matter what, the corpse of the old general Wei Chi, we must take it back and transport it back to Chang'an, he has fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life, and his achievements are great, and now that he is dead, he can't let his corpse fall into the hands of the enemy." The soldiers did not agree, and neither did the people. ”

Cheng Yanjin agreed: "Yes, I think so too." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "But now that Li Heng, he is waiting for us to come to the door, I don't know what kind of conditions to put forward, if he asks us to withdraw from Xiliang, can we still give up these cities?" ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "No, he will not mention such conditions." ”

"Why? If it were me, I would. ”

Xu Maogong smiled bitterly: "Li Heng is a smart person, he should know that we will not agree to this kind of unreasonable condition, and the emperor will not agree, this is the land that tens of thousands of soldiers have exchanged for their lives and blood, how can he let him, knowing that it is impossible, how can he speak?" ”

"I thought he would ask for some food and grass, but how much... That's up to him. ”

"Even if it's grain and grass, we can't take it out, now that Jiangnan has been lost, the granary of the imperial court is also restrained, and it is difficult for Chang'an to transport it. A few days ago, I asked Chang'an for food, but I have not replied to the letter. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Cheng Yanjin said: "I'll send someone to Vermilion Bird City to see what he wants." We're so prepared. ”

"There's no need to send someone, just I'll go." Xu Maogong stepped forward and said.

"What? You go? No way! He's going to detain you again, and we're done. Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand again and again, what kind of joke, he relied on Xu Maogong to come up with ideas, on the surface he was his marshal, but in fact Xu Maogong was commanding, if Xu Maogong left, then what else would he fight.

Xu Mao said fairly: "Don't worry, he won't detain me, I have my own way to get out." ”

"Besides, I also want to see what kind of person this Li Heng is, knowing himself and knowing his opponent can win all battles."

Cheng Yanjin and the eldest grandson Wuji both resolutely disagreed, but they couldn't stand Xu Maogong's repeated words, and he was smart and persuasive, and in less than half a pillar of incense, he fooled Cheng Yanjin and the eldest grandson Wuji.

So, Cheng Yanjin finally agreed and said: "Okay, since you want to go so much, then I won't stop you, but after all, it's in the enemy camp, you have to be very careful, it doesn't matter if you can talk about it, you have to pay attention to safety." ”

Xu Maogong smiled and said: "Don't worry, except for the emperor, who can take my head in the world?" ”

Early the next morning, Xu Maogong took two teams of cavalry, on the road, non-stop rushed to Vermilion Bird City, this trip, he only brought less than 100 people, weapons and equipment are also poor, dealing with ordinary bandits is OK, if you meet Xiliang soldiers, as long as a charge, there is no way to live. I have to say that Xu Maogong's move is too bold, and I don't know if it is the ignorant and meaningless, or the confident.
