After this battle, a total of more than 40,000 enemies were annihilated, together with more than 10,000 people lost in the hands of the previous step, and most of the 100,000 horses of the Tubo West Route Army were killed and wounded in Lingtai. Under the support of the Tubo soldiers, Master Gongga escaped by luck, and led more than 40,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat all the way to the territory of Tuyuhun, and did not dare to set foot in the western Xinjiang half a step.

Since the several battles of the Lingtai Battle were scattered in various places such as the Red Pine Forest, the Red Stone Fort, the Jianzui Cliff, and the Lingtai Town, it took more than ten days to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the scattered remnants of the enemy.

After everything was cleaned up, there was a scout sent to Fenning to report to Jingyuncong that the Tubo general Na Ximo mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses from Tuyuhun, together with the 30,000 Scorpion troops stationed in Jingzhou, a total of 80,000 people, to storm Fenning City. In just half a month, Fenning City was broken by the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces three times, Jing Yuncong led the army to fight, and drove out the enemy who invaded the city three times, and now, Fenning is in danger.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Xiang Zhifei's command have been transferred back to Chang'an, didn't the imperial court send a single soldier to Marshal Jing?"

Lai Xing'er listened to the report of the scout in the big tent of the Chinese army, frowned, and blurted out.

"Back to the deputy marshal, when the little one left Fenning, he had not heard the news that the imperial court had sent reinforcements to Fenning. However, Shuofang Jiedu sent 5,000 men and horses to assist Jing Dashuai in defending the city. Before leaving, Jing Dashuai also specially told the little one to come back and tell the deputy marshal that he must not send troops to rescue him because Fenning was in a hurry, but only need to guard the Lingtai and rush. ”

"What do you guys think about this? Shall we send troops to reinforce Fenning? Lai Xing'er's gaze swept over the faces of Luo San'er, Qian Dashun, Jiang Zhongshi and others sitting in the tent one by one.

"Marshal Jing is in trouble, how can he do it if he doesn't save it? Big brother, you don't need to go out in person, hand over to me 3,000 cavalry, and wait for me to go and get the head of Nasimana and come back to ask for merit. Jiang Zhongshi didn't think about it, and stood up and asked for orders from Xing'er.

Luo San'er and Qian Dashun also echoed: "At present, the 100,000 troops on the West Tubo Road have been beaten and fled by us, and the Lingtai can be safed within three or five months, and if Fenning falls, Chang'an will be in danger." Deputy Marshal, we are all willing to lead our troops to reinforce Fenning. ”

"The enemy army has 80,000 people, and Nasimo is both wise and brave, and there are less than 40,000 defenders in Fenning City, even if our whole army reinforces Fenning, there is still a huge difference in strength, if you want to hold Fenning, I am afraid that it will be difficult." Lai Xing'er said with a solemn and thoughtful face.

"I'm afraid of him! We are 10,000 against 100,000, and we still killed Fan Kou and fled, not to mention that Fenning is 40,000 against 80,000, and there are Jing Dashuai and the eldest brother The two current military gods are in command, this battle will undoubtedly be won. Big brother, you just give the order. Jiang Zhongshi shook his arms and shouted.

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Lai Xing'er sternly stopped Jiang Zhongshi, and then said, "Fenning is different from Lingtai, the danger of Lingtai is in the Tsim Tsui Cliff twenty miles southeast, so we can set up an empty city plan to lure the Tubo people to be deceived, and once Fenning City is lost, the road leading to Chang'an in the west can be opened, and Chang'an has no danger to defend." The battle of Fenning was actually a battle of attack and defense of the city, and there was not enough room for maneuver, and there was no room for error. With the ability of Marshal Jing, he was attacked into the city by the Tubo army three times in half a month, and it can be imagined that the battle situation was tragic. If we can't come up with an effective way to help relieve the siege of Fenning, we just blindly send troops to rescue us, I'm afraid it will be useless. ”

When everyone in the tent heard Lai Xing'er's words, they all nodded silently and fell into deep thought.

After nearly an hour, Lai Xing'er "snapped" a few cases, stood up, and gave an order in a categorical tone: "Qian Dashun, I order you to lead 10,000 infantry troops to guard the spiritual platform, and pay attention to the movements of the Tubo West Route Army at any time, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Although Qian Dashun was a little disappointed, he still stood up without hesitation, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "Get the order." ”

"Luo Yuanqi listens to orders." Lai Xing'er turned to Luo San'er.

Luo San'er was in good spirits, thinking that Lai Xing'er was going to send him to lead the army to reinforce Fenning, so he jumped up, looked at Lai Xing'er with blazing eyes, and replied "here" very loudly.

"I have written a letter here, ordering you to lead ten agile soldiers to set out at once to the north, by way of the Uighurs, and by detour back to Chang'an to bring reinforcements to the imperial court.

"Huh?" Luo San'er's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he sank, "But I ......" His original intention was to say that I was the person in front of Empress Zhang of Qingning Palace, and it was not suitable to go back to the capital to appear in public, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back vividly, and just stood in place, hesitating and refusing to accept the order.

"A year ago, the emperor still remembers the military report you sent back to the imperial court, and he has mentioned it to me many times and wants to see you. Although I have come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy, I cannot ensure that it will succeed, and after thinking about it, the only way to send someone back to Chang'an for help is the safest. When you return to the dynasty this time, you can not only fulfill the emperor's wishes, but also ask the emperor to send troops to relieve the siege of Fenning, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone? Big brother, don't hesitate any longer, take the order and set off quickly. ”

In fact, there is another meaning implied in Lai Xing'er's words, but he can't explain it to Luo San'er, that is, to remind Luo San'er to take this opportunity to completely get rid of his relationship with the Zhang family, be reborn, and be a new person.

Luo San'er seemed to understand a little bit of the deep meaning of Lai Xing'er's words, didn't argue too much, took the token, and turned to leave.

"Jiang Zhongshi, you lead three thousand cavalry, and immediately rush to Fenning with me to aid Marshal Jing." Lai Xing'er looked at Luo San'er's departing back, and decisively issued the last general order.

Two days later, in the early afternoon, behind a mountain beam about 20 miles away from the Tubo military camp in the west of Fenning City, Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi led 3,000 Shenhe cavalry to set up a temporary camp.

Lai Xing'er ordered the sergeants to get off the horse, set up hundreds of tents behind the mountain beams, and hurried into the tents to rest, and then called two scouts who could speak Tibetan dialect to whisper in their ears.

Jiang Zhongshi looked at it from the side, feeling puzzled, and followed Lai Xing'er into the temporary Chinese military tent, and asked in confusion: "Big brother, aren't we here to rescue Fenning City?" Why did you order the sergeants to set up camp here? Besides, this is only 20 miles away from the camp of the Tibetan army, and I am worried that tomorrow, the Tubo people will find out where we are. ”

The soldiers standing in the tent opened a map of the surrounding area of Fenning, leaned down to look at it carefully, and replied without raising his head: "I'm afraid they won't find it." (To be continued.) )
