readx;?? "Hey, master, you saw my grandmother, tell her on my behalf, my emperor is here, and I can't go back to Beijing to report to her for the time being, and I want her to beware of her precious apprentice......" It wasn't until Qingmang left that Lai Xing'er remembered this important matter, and hurriedly shouted at Qingmang's back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, once Qingmang learned the exact whereabouts of his junior sister who had been infatuated for many years, where did he still have the heart to listen to what Lai Xing'er had to explain to him, and before Lai Xing'er's words fell, he had already run away without a trace.

Lai Xing'er looked at the direction where Qingmang was going, shook his head with a wry smile, and raised land, he was followed by his master Qingmang's infatuation with his grandmother Qingcheng, and thought of the latest news about Nayu that he overheard in Na Ximo Shuai's mansion, and he sighed in his heart for some reason, and couldn't help but take care of Na Yu who was thousands of miles away.

Jing Yuncong was overjoyed when he heard the news that Lai Xing'er had returned safely from Jingzhou, and he personally welcomed Xing'er out of the mansion, holding hands and welcoming Xing'er into the main hall of the Shuai Mansion to sit down.

Lai Xing'er didn't wait for him to ask, so he took the initiative to tell Jing Yuncong that his master Qingmang said goodbye without saying goodbye, so that he was anxious to return to Chang'an to see his sister Qingcheng. Jing Yuncong and Qingmang have been friends for many years, and they understand his thoughts about his junior sister Qingcheng, and after listening to Lai Xing'er's words, he didn't feel strange, but said to Lai Xing'er with a smile: "Chang'an's edict was sent to Fenning last night, and Xing'er was already the deputy marshal of the march in Hexi and Longyou at a young age, which is in line with the words of the ancients: Heroes have been young since ancient times." ”

Lai Xing'er because yesterday's emperor's edict asked him to return to Jingyun Cong to control the words, at this time and Jing Yuncong met again, although the interval was not long, but there was already a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, at this time listening to Jing Yuncong talk about the imperial edict, so he immediately stood up, hugged his fists and saluted: "The subordinates came to report to the marshal, in the future, the four thousand soldiers of the Shenhe capital will act under the orders of the marshal." ”

Jing Yuncong was still smiling, waved his hand at Xing'er, and said: "Four thousand, I don't think it's enough, ten thousand fourteen, and barely do the vanguard of my army." You have been tired of the saddle horse all day, how is your health, do you want to rest for a while, and then let's talk about preparing for war to meet the enemy? ”

Lai Xing'er heard that Jing Yuncong wanted him to lead the army to serve as the vanguard of the whole army, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and the hunger and hardship that came overnight were left behind, staring at Jing Yuncong with burning eyes, and said: "My subordinates also have an urgent military situation to return to you, and it is not too late to rest after discussing military affairs." ”

"How's that going to work!" Jing Yuncong interrupted him disapprerovingly, "If the dignified Marquis Fuyuan, the deputy marshal of the march of the two provinces, only reported to my Fenning army, he would faint of hunger on the spot, I can't afford such an infamy." Well, then, I will tell someone to prepare a meal, and we will pick up the important things and talk quickly, and when the matter is finished, you will go to eat and sleep for me, how about it? ”

Lai Xing'er knew that Jing Yuncong said this out of care for himself, nodded gratefully, and then made a detailed communication to Jing Yuncong about the deployment of the troops of the second invasion of Tubo, the route of the march and who the commanders of the two route armies were, and finally smiled and said to Jing Yuncong: "The marshal, his subordinates have made their own decisions, and they have assassinated Tuji, the chief general of the Tubo West Route Army, in the dormitory last night. ”

When Jing Yuncong heard this, he was overjoyed, gave a thumbs up, praised Lai Xing'er and said: "Day and night, Xing'er, you have made the first contribution to the imperial court." As soon as Tuji died, the 100,000 Tibetan reinforcements would be leaderless, and the combat strength would naturally be greatly reduced, and the pressure on our army would also be greatly reduced. Good! ”

However, then he frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I listen to your words, it seems that this time the Tibetan invasion is different from a year ago, and it seems that there is a secret dislike inside, and the commander of the Western Route Army that you killed, Tuji, is obviously not very harmonious with Nasimo, who is the general of Tubo. I'm afraid that once Tuji dies under your sword, Lange will not be able to find a general to replace him for a while, and the military power of the eastern and western roads of Tibet will be reunified into the hands of Nasimo, so we must not take this lightly. ”

Lai Xing'er felt that Jing Yuncong was reasonable, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that my sword would have fulfilled Nasimana, I knew it was so, I should have killed him first." ”

Jing Yuncong saw that Xing'er had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly apologized to him and said: "Everything has a benefit, but there will be a disadvantage, Xing'er, you kill Tuji, it is naturally a good thing that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so why bother to blame yourself." I expect that although Nasimo will regain military power, in the short term, the first army of the Western Route of Tubo, which has recently moved north, will not easily obey Nasimo's orders, as long as you lead the army to respond to the battle carefully, with more than 10,000 troops to hold the Lingtai, and block the attack of the Tubo West Route Army, it should be no big problem. ”

"Dashuai, I didn't understand before, not long ago, I only brought back 4,000 people from Liangzhou, how did it suddenly expand to more than 10,000?"

Jing Yuncong asked Xing'er this question, and said with a smile: "Xing'er, you don't know, after I got the edict of the imperial court appointing you last night, I ordered 10,000 soldiers to rush to Lingtai in the starry night, and assigned it to your Shenhe and all the systems, and you will lead it together, even so, there is still a difference of five or six thousand people from the 20,000 soldiers and horses that the emperor allowed you." ”

When Lai Xing'er heard this, he was anxious: "Dashuai, as far as I know, there are only 50,000 men and horses under your command, and at present, all the feudal towns are unwilling to be ordered to transfer troops to the west, and it is already quite difficult to fight against Tubo and Tugu with 50,000 horses alone, so how can you divide troops to help me when the strong enemy is on the ground." This is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Jing Yuncong heard that Xing'er said that the various feudal towns were unwilling to transfer troops to the west, his face became solemn, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to Lai Xing'er: "Don't hide it from Xing'er, when the imperial court edict was issued last night, I had already guessed this result. Otherwise, there are so many ministers in the court, how can the emperor send you, a young man who has never led a large army to fight in battle, to the western frontier for the second time, and entrust him with the important task of being alone. Only in this way can you accept these 10,000 soldiers and horses. As you heard in Jingzhou last night, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou under the command of Nasimo, and the old man is fighting against him with 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he is confident that even if he can't win completely, he will not lose to him, and you lead the troops to garrison the Lingtai, just as the Tubo West Road Army is rushing to the east, Tubo wants to realize the smooth convergence of the two roads in Jingzhou and open up the North Road, first of all, you must take the Lingtai, therefore, the battle in front of you, although the old man is in charge, in fact, the victory or defeat is all related to you, Xing'er, if you suspect that there are few soldiers, The old man can also borrow five or six thousand soldiers and horses from Lu Huaiguang and hand them over to you to command, but these ten thousand soldiers and horses are irrevocable. ”

Lai Xing'er's mind gradually calmed down at this time, and when he heard Jing Yuncong analyze and dissect the military deployment of the enemy and us, he suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy, so he stood up, hugged his fists and said goodbye to Jing Yuncong: "As the marshal said, the gains and losses of Lingtai are related to the entire war in Western Xinjiang, and Lai Xing'er does not dare to delay time in Fenning any longer, please allow your subordinates to take their leave, rush to Lingtai, and the whole army to meet the enemy."
