When returning to the camp, everyone rode their horses slowly, and occasionally there were ranger scouts galloping by, the fifth girl and Li Congjing talked about the trip to Luming Temple some time ago, the thrill and the fifth girl's strain, so that Li Congjing also secretly heartbroken, time flies, the cardamom girl who was trembling with scissors in Changhe County has long been gone, replaced by an excellent warrior who is outstanding in all aspects, from the eccentric fierce Lori to the little goblin who is now killing all directions, Li Congjing has always doted on the fifth girl, it is difficult to say that he did not see his own shadow on the other party's growth path, and the other party has grown into a complete product when he first met the peach, the fifth girl can be regarded as Li Congjing's teaching, although there is not much to say about this cultivation book, but the emotional investment is not half a discount, so at this time Li Congjing's eyes at the fifth girl are particularly soft, but this look falls on the fifth girl's heart, but it feels a little weird, Because she was very puzzled and read a strange emotion from it, which was, in her cognition, very much like the eyes of a man looking at his daughter.

"In this way, although Cui Linglong was abandoned by Shi Jingjiao, she didn't provide any useful information until the end, is she determined not to betray Shi Jingjiao?" Li Congjing asked the fifth girl.

The fifth girl nodded, her tone was a little complicated, "Although Cui Linglong deserves to be cut by a thousand knives, she is really dead to Shi Jingjiao." ”

Li Congjing smiled, such a thing is not incomprehensible, for Cui Linglong, Shi Jingjing is the whole meaning of her existence, although Shi Jingjing abandoned her, she is unwilling to betray Shi Jingjing, or she can't betray, it's hard to say that Cui Linglong has no masochistic tendencies, Li Congjing comes from the next generation, and it's not surprising that I have seen the goddess abuse me thousands of times and I treat the goddess like my first love.

"The matter of Shuofang is almost decided, and there are not many places where the military intelligence department can contribute in the future, and it is time to go to Hexi next." Speaking of this, Li Congjing remembered the conversation with Wu Chun's grandfather in the soup cake shop, "You have been in Shuofang for some time, and there should be a lot of people and things in contact, according to you, what is the relationship between the people in the border areas and the various ethnic groups in Hexi?" Or, how deep is the hatred and hostility, will it affect the national policy of the court to kingize all ethnic groups in the future, so that the people of all ethnic groups are our Tang people, and the border troubles and great disputes between the two will be eliminated forever? ”

Li Congjing has not discussed this matter in detail with others, when he went out of Youzhou, although he also had to deal with the relationship between the Khitan people and the people of Youyun, but the method at that time was much simpler, nothing more than war and killing, now Li Congjing is in a different position, to seek the harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult.

Although the fifth girl is not very involved in political affairs, this does not mean that she does not know the depths of it, she bowed her head and muttered for a moment when she heard the words, and did not discuss the details with Li Congjing without giving up her strength, but said concisely: "It is not a one-time effort, it takes a hundred years." ”

Whether it is to use the increasingly revived and progressive scientific and technological civilization of the Tang Dynasty to improve the living conditions in Hexi and the Western Regions, or to use the Tang culture to educate the people in these places, so that they can know the loyalty of the monarch and the country, benevolence, righteousness and friendship, or repair roads to strengthen the connection between the border areas and the Central Plains, facilitate the dispatch of troops, or increase the military strength of garrisons in various places, etc., it is indeed not a temporary achievement, and it requires continuous efforts.

Thinking of this, Li Congjing's eyes when he looked at the fifth girl were even softer, and the doting color was stronger, of course, there was no lack of empathy for her hard work in the southern and northern wars, the afterglow of the sunset was so warm, sprinkled on Li Congjing's shoulders, particularly poetic and chic, the fifth girl looked at Li Congjing, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, fluttering, and her cheeks were red.

When the sun fell, Li Congjing returned to the camp, and it happened that the troops of Anle and Wenchi reported to arrive.

......

Among the three forces that invaded Lingzhou, the Xia and Ganzhou Uighurs had stronger armies, so the armies that attacked the two cities of Anle and Wenchi were dominated by the Ganzhou Uighurs and Xiazhou armies, and among them, Yang Guangyuan, who led the Dingyan army, was the main general.

Wenchi City and Anle City are not far apart, from Lingzhou City to Anle, first pass through Wenchi, the two cities are each other's horns, it is the southern gateway of Lingzhou, the importance of the status is self-evident, Xiazhou, Hexi Coalition Army guards this portal, the imperial court forbidden army will not be able to enter Lingzhou, the imperial court forbidden army wants to gallop to the aid of Lingzhou City, this is the first foot to step in, and then there is the possibility of "entering the house".

The combined forces of Xiazhou and Hexi marched all the way, and approached Wenchi.

Mountains can be seen in the distance, the mountains are long, the ups and downs are gentle, such as the waves like clouds, and Wenchi City sits on the main road of the mountains, as the field of vision gradually decreases, the plains gradually narrow, everyone knows that the destination is about to arrive.

The Loess Plateau is vast in scope, and it is not full of hills and ravines, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, and the area of Wenchi is located on the edge, and the terrain is gentle. In the autumn season, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, the land of Pingchuan is more solemn, the distant mountains and near the ridges are dangerous, between the low mountains and soil bags, the land of thousands of steps, or flat or undulating is not big, and the official road is in it.

"About thirty miles ahead, is Wenchi City, it is still early in the morning, send the order down, step up the march, and be sure to arrive today." Yang Guangyuan was familiar with the map, and he was particularly attentive to the landmark references, seeing the low mountains in front of him, he knew his own location, he looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun had just arrived in the middle of the sky, thinking that it was not difficult to reach Wenchi City before dusk.

Next to Yang Guangyuan was a big man in the Ganzhou Uighurs, called Yao Luo Ge Ah Xuan, and the leader of the Ganzhou Uighurs, Yao Luo Ge Di Yin, was of the same clan, and he had the fanaticism and arrogance unique to the barbarians in his eyes, and sneered when he heard the words: "Since the city is in sight, thirty miles away, I will arrive in a blink of an eye, and I also ask General Yang to allow me to go first, and I will open the city gate for the army!" ”

Yang Guangyuan waited left and right to help him translate the words of Yao Luo Ge A, and frowned slightly: "The people and horses of each department are originally peers, how can there be a reason to divide troops in battle, and the general should not be impatient." ”

Yao Luo Ge Ah was eager to hear this, shook the horsewhip vigorously, and snorted coldly: "The army is attacking, how can there be no vanguard, such a simple method of using troops, General Yang doesn't know?" If he sees that the soldiers of my Uighur army are strong and strong, he will be frightened, and then the city will be taken and won't be bothered to enter the city. ”

This was said very politely, so that Yang Guangyuan was disgusted, although he has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the vassal is not the same, he himself is the main general, in fact, the Uighurs and the Tubo people do not have much respect for him, this time the raid on Wenchi, Anle and the two places, they these soldiers and horses are the vanguard, if the two cities are captured, there will definitely be reinforcements to strengthen the defense line, if according to common sense, the vanguard army should belong to a single domain, so that the military order is unimpeded, in terms of the present, it is best to determine the difficulty of the army to take the two cities first, and then the military discussion, the Uighurs, The Tubo people did not agree to use troops in this way, although Yao Luo Ge Diyin and Du Lun Lujia said on the surface that they did not want the Dingyan army to gnaw hard bones alone, but in fact, they did not want the Dingyan army to have two places alone. For the Uighurs and the Tubos, the capture of the Tang Dynasty meant that they could grab money, food, and people, and the warm pond and peace were not small places, so how could they tolerate the Dingnan army enjoying these two pieces of fat alone?

At present, Luo Ge wants to take the first step, although every sentence of the words is not separated from the method of using soldiers, and every sentence is for the sake of others, in fact, it is nothing more than wanting to enter the city first and seize the opportunity to rob the people of the goods, but his words outline his arrogance to the fullest, in his eyes, Wenchi is like not defending, if there is no grasp of the arrival of soldiers and horses, the city is the mastery, he will not be so anxious.

Nowadays, in Lingzhou, most of the soldiers and horses are gathered in Lingwu County and Lingzhou City along the Yellow River, there are almost no heavy troops elsewhere, all the way south, the coalition forces have some sporadic results on the road, although the harvest is not much, but it is enough to help the arrogance of Luo Ge A's desire.

"Wenchi is a heavy land, there must be heavy guards, even if there are no heavy troops, just the young and strong people in the city to assist in the defense, it is also a big trouble, the general should not be rash and entered." Yang Guangyuan said that although he was fed up with Yao Luo Ge's disobedience along the way, he was not angry for the sake of the overall situation.

Yao Luo Ge Ah looked disdainful, and spoke lightly, "What is the young and strong in the city, you Tang people farm and eat vegetables, live a comfortable life, and have long lost their blood, where can we compare with my Uighur warriors, we ride horses and hunt, eat meat and drink blood, everyone is brave, one person is enough to be ten of your Tang people!" General Yang didn't let me go first, because he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to attack? ”

Speaking of which, if it were a bloody man in the ordinary army, he would have let the other party go a long time ago, but Yang Guangyuan deserves to be a good general, although his face turned blue with anger, he could still be angry, but his tone was not much better, "The general's department, but three thousand soldiers and horses, this time he ventured into Wenchi, even if he was not afraid of Wenchi Chengjian, was he not afraid of running into the imperial army?" The forbidden army has 200,000 elite armor, but there is no one who is easy to get along with! ”

Yao Luo Ge's face changed, obviously realizing that he might encounter the Tang Forbidden Army, but his hesitation disappeared in a flash, and he shouted loudly: "What kind of forbidden army, in the eyes of my Uighur warriors, you Tang people are all soft-footed sheep, how can we be afraid of you!" ”

Yang Guangyuan said with a dark face: "The general may not be afraid, but he can't spoil a big thing!" ”

It's good to say it, and finally let Yao Luo Ge Ah want to dispel the idea of going first, but the other party is obviously not angry, he didn't take two steps, he saw a village not far away, and he didn't ask Yang Guangyuan for a military order, said hello, and directly led the soldiers to sweep over with their eyes shining, in their eyes, even if it is just an ordinary village, it is also a place where wealth and goods gather, and the worst can catch some people back as slaves, which must not be let go.

Yang Guangyuan squinted at the Uighur soldiers and horses rushing out, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: A group of barbarian thieves, beast habits, it is difficult to achieve great things!

From time to time, seeing the other party rushing into the village, killing people and setting fires, disturbing the village in the dark, listening to the rampant laughter and mournful crying, Yang Guangyuan gradually clenched his teeth, half loud, spit, and scolded: "The barbarian thief of the dog day, wait for me to wait for great things, and vow to slaughter and cook them, cook them!" ”

Just thinking like this, a small colonel rode a horse from the front, and hurriedly reported to Yang Guangyuan, saying that the rangers had not returned after the deadline, "Within ten miles, the scouts can see each other, and the rangers ten miles away, according to the convention, should have returned two moments ago, but they have not seen anyone for a long time!" ”

Yang Guangyuan's heart chuckled, a chill suddenly rose on the soles of his feet, straight to the door of his head, the secret road was not good, not waiting for him to react, suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright light in the corner of his eyes, flashed in the sun, he hurriedly looked at the top of the low mountain not far away, except for the vague forest, but never saw anything, frightened, busy ordered the scouts to check, the scouts galloped out, not a few, to the bottom of the mountain, the scouts in front of the army reported, there were enemy troops to intercept and kill their own scouts, ten miles away from the boundary, such as opening the gate of the Yellow Spring, all the scouts who crossed the line, can not return.

Yang Guangyuan was shocked, it was not an ordinary thing for the scout to be intercepted and killed like this, which often meant that the scout had entered the control of the enemy, and the current enemy army, was it the imperial forbidden army that was killed on a large scale, or was the Wenchi defenders playing tricks?

Yang Guangyuan didn't dare to be careless, the sun was shining, the wind was beautiful, but he was cold all over his body, the soldiers marching in front of him, rolling forward, originally like a torrent, not only the soldiers were strong and strong, but also the momentum was extraordinary, at this time, the iron armor was shining with cold light, the spear stinged the eyeballs, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties were chaotic. Concentrate and calm down, Yang Guangyuan watched the six roads and listened to the eight directions, the wilderness was silent, the footsteps of the march were particularly abrupt, the movement of Yao Luo Ge Ah was like a ghost howling, there was no difference on all sides, the mountains were quiet and the forests were silent, the low mountains and slopes in front of him seemed to be unfathomable, behind the mountains and forests, deep and deep like an abyss, I don't know what was hidden, the autumn breeze was blowing, it was doubly cool, as if it was sharpened by a knife.

Busy ordering the army to stop moving forward and stand by in place, Yang Guangyuan unconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead, and in an instant, he was shocked to feel that his forehead was cold, and in an instant, he reacted that he was too frightened. However, after thinking about it, the forbidden army of the imperial court is strong and stubborn, the armament is excellent, the strategists are like clouds and good generals, and they have fought in the north and south of the river in ten years, and they are invincible, they have attacked everything, and they have destroyed the princes like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and the army is mighty, how can they be despised? And their own side is just a feudal town army, tens of thousands of soldiers attack the six cities of Lingwu for 300 miles, it takes a long time, if the 100,000 forbidden army is really in front, how can you resist this nearly 10,000 miscellaneous army?

Strictly ordered Yao Luo Ge Ah to return to the team immediately, Yang Guangyuan anxiously waited for the response of the more than 100 rangers sent by the party, if the other party was just the defenders of Wenchi playing tricks, more than 100 elite horses were enough to make the other party show his horse's feet. Yang Guangyuan didn't even notice the uneasy neighing of the war horse under him, he stared closely at the low mountain, expecting the scouts to report back on the situation there, for a while, Yang Guangyuan only hoped that there was no article there.

The blue sky is vast and boundless, the white clouds are like wandering, the distant mountains are near the forest, the wind is roaring, the grass and trees are soldiers, the wind blows the grass and moves the heartstrings, and I don't know how long it took, Yang Guangyuan's mouth was dry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, at this moment, on the low mountain, suddenly erected a red flag, higher than three zhang, waving in the wind, the scout who rushed to the top of the mountain, suddenly fell backwards, planted from the mountain.

"Not good!" Yang Guangyuan's face changed drastically, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, causing the war horse to shout, and his voice was loud, he didn't care about it, he just shouted the military order, "The whole army is arrayed, ready to fight!" ”

Seeing that big flag, Yang Guangyuan knew that the forbidden army had arrived, and it was not far away, and he couldn't run away, so he had to fight with all his might. Although Yang Guangyuan was anxious, he had not been in a big mess, and the formation could only use the most simple and practical formation, while pointing fingers and feet, while drinking orders again and again, the soldiers of the army who suddenly stopped, I felt strange, I don't know what the reason was, this time I heard that the enemy army was coming, I couldn't help but make a noise, footsteps, cheers, and armor collided, and the ups and downs were endless, and the smoke and dust on the land were everywhere, although there were rules, it was also chaotic.

Yao Luo Ge Ah wanted to see Yang Guangyuan sweating profusely, his face was anxious, he was very disdainful in his heart, and he snorted disdainfully: "General Yang hasn't experienced war?" Facing the enemy in battle, for the generals in the army, it is just commonplace, why is General Yang so anxious? ”

Yang Guangyuan has no time to pay attention to Yao Luo Ge's desire, he is a good general in the army, even if it is the simplest arrangement of troops, he is also very particular, the way of advance and retreat, the emphasis is on pre-arrangement, in order to deal with a variety of situations, but then Yao Luo Ge A is eager to chatter, and the ridicule is endless, as if only in this way can he appear powerful.

Yang Guangyuan also knew what it meant to be fearless and ignorant, and when he couldn't bear it, he roared: "You fucking know shit, this is the forbidden army of the imperial court!" Forbidden Army, you know?! ”

Yao Luo Ge Ah exhaled a cold breath from his nose and said contemptuously: "In the eyes of my Uighur warriors, the Tang people are either dead souls under the sword, or slaves behind them, and it is not worth mentioning that the forbidden army does not prohibit the army!" If General Yang is afraid, my Uighur warriors are willing to take the lead, but you have to be assured that when we get to Wenchi, we must let our troops enter the city first! ”

Seeing that at this time, the other party was thinking about the "low-handed" goods, Yang Guangyuan laughed angrily, and suddenly, he was blessed to the soul, since the other party was looking for death, let the other party be cannon fodder, "In this case, general, please step forward!" ”

Yao Luo Ge Ah was immediately overjoyed, and immediately burst into laughter, immediately rode away, summoned the tribe to come forward, and did not forget to mock before leaving: "Useless soft-footed sheep, you don't have to rely on me as a Uighur warrior in battle!" ”

At this time, there was a rumbling thunder in the wilderness, the earth had begun to tremble, and the dust on the ground seemed to be shaken off the ground, which was only the movement of the elite cavalry galloping, Yang Guangyuan looked closely at the low mountain in front of him, and soon, there were cavalry rushing out from behind the mountain, but it was more than a hundred rangers he had sent before, but only twenty or thirty horsemen appeared this time, and there was no formation, the appearance was panicked, and when he approached the formation of the army, he shouted wildly: "The forbidden army is coming, the forbidden army is coming!" ”

Yang Guangyuan secretly hated in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Tell them not to shout, and they will be beheaded if they shout again!" ”

He pulled out his horizontal knife and clenched it in his hand, his body bowed slightly.

Although the thunder was close to his ears, he didn't care at all, but turned his back to the low mountain, and said to the tribe: "Warriors, this time to lead you to go on the expedition, in order to grab money, food and people in the Tang realm, the Tang general is timid, dare not come forward, so very good, when we defeat the Tang people, just the first to enter the city, the gold and silver treasures and women and slaves in the city, you can get ...... at your fingertips."

Yao Luo Ge Ah was eager to fly and spit, and he said it up, causing bursts of chanting, but before he finished speaking, he gradually found that the faces of the soldiers in front of him were a little wrong, although he was facing away from the road at the moment, he also knew that the Tang army was near, but the reason why he turned his back on the Tang army was to show his own courage and contempt for the Tang army, so he had no idea of turning around at this moment. However, no matter how inciting he was, the echo gradually became smaller, and the brave faces in front of him slowly widened their eyes and looked behind him, and those eyes were even full of fear, some people clenched their sabers, and some people kept swallowing saliva, which made Yao Luo Ge A extremely puzzled, this army crisscrossed the west of the river, and there were countless battles of all sizes, but it was never before the war to show such a face, so he had to end his speech hastily and turn around.

Seeing the torrent of Tang Jun's elite horses galloping from behind the mountain, with just one glance, Yao Luo Ge Ah was stunned, and his heart chuckled.

What the fuck is this!
