Chapter 257: Ten Thousand Horses Galloping

Lai Xing'er listened to Luo San'er's words, looked around the generals in the hall, and saw that most of them had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, knowing that everyone had the same thoughts as Luo San'er in their hearts, and was unwilling to give up the Liangzhou City that had just been conquered to the Tubo army, so he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said to the generals in the hall: "Well, I originally wanted to wait until the imperial court edict was issued, and then put this plan into practice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info generals listen to orders. ā€

The people in the hall will be led by Luo San'er and Qian Dashun, and when they heard that the winner was about to pass on the order, they all lifted their spirits, stood up together, and asked Xing'er to give an order: "Please give the general an order, we are all willing to take the order." ā€

"Okay." Lai Xing'er turned around in front of the handsome case, took out the first general order, and ordered, "Luo Yuanqi listened to the order and ordered you to lead the two thousand cavalry under your command, immediately go out of the city, and rush to the place where the Tubo army is stationed hundreds of miles away to meet the enemy, but you must remember that you are only allowed to defeat and not win. ā€

Luo San'er reluctantly took the general's order from Lai Xing'er, and asked in a snort: "But the general is going to set up an ambush at the foot of Tiantai Mountain to ambush the Tubo army?" If the last general leads the Tibetan army there, can he surround them and annihilate them? ā€

Lai Xing'er tightened his face and replied categorically: "You only need to lead this Tubo army to the foot of Tiantai Mountain, and it will be considered a great success, and you don't have to fight with it, that is, you should lead the men and horses to get rid of their entanglement, turn around and go north, and rush to the foot of Helan Mountain in the northeast of Liangzhou City to meet me before dawn tomorrow." You must keep in mind that if you injure one of our troops and one horse in this battle, I will ask you questions. ā€

Although Luo San'er was not happy, but looking at Lai Xing'er's cold face, his lips moved, and finally he didn't dare to speak again, took the arrow, and retreated to the side.

"Qian Dashun and the ranking generals listen to the order." Lai Xing'er took out the second arrow, and said to Qian Dashun and the rest of the generals, "I order you and others to lead the men and horses of the headquarters, immediately withdraw from Liangzhou City, return to the stations of the various divisions, and drive all the horses herded by the headquarters to the north and drive them into the Turkic territory before today's shift. After confirming that the horses have entered the Turkic territory, you will also lead your own troops to meet at the foot of Helan Mountain. I personally led a thousand men and horses, as a backup for the ranks, and the camera answered the armies, did you understand? ā€

Fang Lai Xing'er also mentioned in front of the generals in the hall that the Turks were one of the four allied forces of the Tubo people, but at this time, he ordered to drive all the 8,000 war horses grazing by Longyou Prison to the Turkic territory, isn't this a contradiction, and there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and financing the enemy?

Qian Dashun thought about it again and again, and before receiving the order, he couldn't help but ask: "Can the general make a clear statement to us, so that we can eliminate the doubts in our hearts and act in accordance with the general's orders?" He was careful in his words, and said very tactfully, hoping that on the premise of not hurting Lai Xing'er's face, Lai Xing'er would make a reasonable explanation to the generals in the hall.

Lai Xing'er seemed to be under tremendous pressure in his heart, and when he heard Qian Dashun's question, he smiled bitterly and replied: "General Qian, including the ranking generals, I knew that you would have this question. To tell you the truth, if it were not for the urgency of the military situation, which had reached a point where there was no room for delay, I would never have risked the enemy's resources and asked you to drive these 8,000 war horses to the Turkic territory. Not only that, even the horses ridden by the 2,000 cavalry under General Luo's command must be driven to the Turkic territory tomorrow after they rush to the foot of Helan Mountain to join us, so as not to leave a horse for Tibet. If I am convicted of this in the future, I am willing to bear the responsibility for the crime, and I have nothing to do with you in the hall today. ā€

"General, instead of this, it is better to kill all these 8,000 war horses." Qian Dashun faintly sensed an ominous meaning in Lai Xing'er's words, and persuaded from the bottom of his heart. Including Luo San'er, other generals in the hall also asked Lai Xing'er to order the killing of horses to cut off the source of horses for the Tubo army.

"Killing horses is never feasible!" Lai Xing'er vetoed categorically, "Most of the people in Western Xinjiang believe in Buddhism and take killing as a precept, such as us blatantly slaughtering so many horses, in their eyes, isn't it even inferior to the Tubo army?" Moreover, since the herders regard their horses as their own lives, do you think that a single command can make many soldiers who are born as herders wave their swords and slay the horses they regard as their lives? Needless to say, just do what you order. ā€

Among the generals in the hall, many of them were born as horse wranglers, and they were all bowed and silent by Lai Xing'er's sincere words, and no one mentioned the killing of horses anymore.

Seeing that the generals had nothing to say, Lai Xing'er waved his hand outside the hall and urged: "What are you doing in a daze, don't act according to the general's orders." ā€

Under the leadership of Luo San'er and Qian Dashun, the generals withdrew from the conference hall and prepared according to Lai Xing'er's general orders.

Lai Xing'er instructed his soldiers to prepare war horses outside the gate of the mansion, gathered a thousand men and horses, and he put on his helmet and armor, walked out of the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion in full armor, raised his eyes and stared at the two battle flags flying high on the city gate tower in the distance, and instructed the soldiers: "Go to the city tower and take off the two flags, fight, and follow me out of the city." ā€

In the early autumn grassland, there was already a refreshing coolness, and Lai Xing'er led a thousand soldiers, erected two large flags, and went back and forth between the various sub-divisions on the vast grassland, assisting the troops to drive the herds of horses to the north and towards the Turkic territory. For a time, on the grassland, thousands of horses galloped, and the scene was very spectacular.

Lai Xing'er rode a little white dragon and galloped on the grassland as far as the eye could see, and for some reason, a deep longing for his relatives in Chang'an City suddenly surged in his heart. According to the calculation of time, the child in Jinping's womb should be croaking to the ground, I don't know if it is a man or a woman, how are their mother and son living now?

Groups of war horses neighed, like whirlwinds blowing on the steppe, and galloped straight towards the northern Turkic territory. Lai Xing'er looked at the herds of horses that were gradually moving away, and muttered to himself: "Bodhisattva bless, I hope Lai Xing'er has not done anything wrong this time." ā€

After galloping back and forth for most of the day, nearly half of the horses had been driven by a wrangler-turned-sergeant for a long distance of 100 miles, crossing the border between the two countries and entering the territory of the northern Turks. To Lai Xing'er's surprise, within the visible range of the Turkic territory, there was no reaction to so many war horses galloping all the way.

Just when Lai Xing'er was puzzled by this, he heard a very familiar shout from behind him: "Big brother, look, who did I bring you back?" (To be continued.) )
