Chapter 294: The Great Victory of the Lingtai (I)
Two months ago, Bu Rang was strongly recommended by Tuji, the commander of the Tubo West Road Army, and followed Da Lun Langge to Linyi to quell the Dongman rebellion, defeated Nayu twice, and was a great success, but he didn't expect that first under his own nose in Jingzhou, the main general Tuji was killed, and then served as the vanguard of the whole army, and suffered a big defeat in Lingtai.

Gongga smiled slyly at the Society, stretched out his hand to greet Bu Rang, and said: "The general is close to speak, this matter can only be known by God, you know and I know, once the news is leaked, it will be said that the previous work will be wasted." When Burang got closer, he whispered in Burang's ear.
Burang's face gradually became cheerful, and after listening to Gongga's explanation to him, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Gongga and Shedu: "Please rest assured that the master and the general, I will leave tonight, and in half a month, please ask the master and the general to listen to my good news." ”
She Du was still annoyed by his defeat in the first battle, waved his hand outside the tent, and said to him impatiently: "If you don't succeed this time, you don't have to come back, find a place to kill yourself." ”
After Bu let leave the tent, Shedu immediately urged the army to march to Lingtai to avenge the defeat in the first battle, but was stopped by Gongga again.
"General Shedu, it's not a poor monk who grows up with other people's ambition and destroys his own prestige. Although the Fuyuan Marquis Lai Xing'er, who was sent by the Middle-earth Imperial Court to guard the Lingtai, is not very old, but when it comes to being clever and eccentric, the general is only afraid that he is not his opponent. According to the poor monk's opinion, it is not too late to wait until tomorrow after dawn to march. ”
No matter how anxious the society was, due to the identity of the soldiers and horses of the two armies of Gongga, it was inconvenient to disobey his wishes, so he reluctantly agreed.
At dawn the next day, before the society could order the three armies to march towards Lingtai, a scout came to report that the defenders of Lingtai had withdrawn overnight.
When the society got the news, it immediately summoned all the generals of the army to gather in the Chinese military tent to discuss the military situation. He pointed to Gongga and said, "Master, please see, the reason why this Lingtai is called the key point of the march to Fenning is actually all here. ”
Gongga looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that the three words Jianzui Cliff were clearly marked on the lower right corner of the Lingtai, that is, not far from the southeast, so he asked the Shedu in confusion: "General, is there anything strange here?" ”
"Master, do you know that this Tsim Tsui Cliff is less than 20 miles away from the Lingtai, and it is a dangerous terrain between two mountains and a ravine, and if you want to open up the north road and approach Fenning, you must pass through the Tsim Tsui Cliff smoothly. I expected that Xing'er must have been worried that Lingtai would not be in danger, so he led the whole army to retreat to the Tsim Tsui Cliff to set up an ambush, intending to take advantage of the danger of the terrain to prevent our army from advancing towards Fenning. Shedu said confidently to Gongga.
"Report." Outside the tent, the scouts came back all the way.
"Speak."
"Along the way north of Lingtai, there were military flags abandoned by the officials and soldiers of the Middle Earth."
"Oh? Have you ever found a large number of Middle-earth officers and troops along the way? The military information reported by the scout was obviously unexpected by Shedu, and he crouched in front of the map again, looking for the location of Shiziyuan, and asked.
"Not really. However, according to a small investigation, the ravine south of Shizi Plateau can be used to hide soldiers......"
"Well, the Shizi Plateau is less than twenty miles away from the Lingtai, and after crossing the Shizi Plateau, you will enter the Turks in the north, no, it should be the territory of the Uighurs now. This Lai Xing'er obviously won a battle, but why did he take the initiative to give up Lingtai and lead the army to flee north? Shedu muttered to himself.
"General, is it possible that Lai Xing'er made an 'empty city plan' for us?" A partial general kindly reminded the community.
"The whole army is on standby for the time being, Shaqige, you will lead 10,000 cavalry, immediately raid and capture the Lingtai, and test the opponent's reality. General Hana, you lead an army of 5,000 intromen, set off with Shaqige, go straight through the Lingtai, and rush to the Tsim Tsui Cliff, you only need to find out if there is an ambush by the Middle-earth officials and troops there, and you can retreat, and you don't have to fight with it. Shedu pondered for a moment and decisively issued a military order.
The two generals Shaqige and Hana took the token from the hands of the Shedu, and immediately went out of the account to gather the people of the headquarters and set off in the direction of the Lingtai in the east.
"General, the scout obviously found traces of the retreat of the Middle-earth official army on the way from Lingtai to the north of Shiziyuan, why don't you send a group of people to the direction of Shiziyuan to find out the truth?" Guru Gongga once again raised his question to the Shedu.
"Master, a discerning person can see the flaws in it at a glance." Shedu laughed and explained to Gongga, "Laixing'er's intention to retreat victoriously is obviously to lure our army deeper, once our army rashly marches, he can win more with less, and take advantage of the geographical advantage to set up an ambush and defeat our army." And there is only one best place to set up an ambush, and that is Tsim Tsui Cliff. In order to prevent me from seeing through his tricks, he deliberately made a false appearance of withdrawing his troops to the north to confuse me, even if he could not lure me north, he could still achieve the purpose of dividing my army. However, I just gave him a pawn and did not move, and after the two soldiers and horses found out that he was not mistaken, I would surround him and annihilate him. ”
Although Gongga didn't understand military affairs, he nodded again and again, and praised Shedu: "Listen to the general's soldiers, and really have the style of a general." Even though Lai Xing'er has three heads and six arms, and he has a variety of wit, but he only has 10,000 troops in his hands, as long as the general gives him a steady and steady fight, step by step, he will have nothing to do. ”
Since Dai Tuji took charge of the Western Route Army, Shedu was praised by Master Gongga in person for the first time, and he couldn't help but get a little carried away, and immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet in the tent, and strongly invited Gongga to stay in the tent of the Chinese army while drinking and having fun, while waiting for the news of the two people.
Nearly dusk, the two men and horses sent out to explore the road had news: Shaqige led 10,000 cavalry, and successfully occupied Lingtai without any resistance, and after he occupied Lingtai, he also sent 500 light cavalry to immediately go north and rush to the Shiziyuan valley to investigate, and no trace of the official army of Middle Earth was found; The 5,000 infantry army led by Hana was ambushed at the Classi Cliff without accident, even though Hana strictly obeyed the orders of the Shedu, as soon as he found that there was an ambush at the Tsim Tsui Cliff, he led the army to turn around and retreat, but it was still a loss of nearly 1,000 sergeants, according to the sergeants sent by Hana back to the Chinese army to report the news, the total number of officers and soldiers ambushed on the mountains on both sides of the Tsim Tsui Cliff should not be less than 10,000.
Although nearly 1,000 sergeants were lost, Shedu was still very proud of his anticipation of the enemy, and after receiving the reward from the soldiers and horses of the two routes, he immediately raised his wine bowl and patted his chest to reassure Gongga: "Master, the whole army will march early tomorrow morning, and take the Jianzui Cliff in one fell swoop, and within ten days, we will be able to march to the city of Fenning."
