Chapter 133: The Struggle for Military Power
In fact, this time even Li Xian didn't expect that Guo Zhifeng and Ashina Daozhen would come back so quickly, and they were so fast that people couldn't react, and there were only two days before and after the departure of the army to Guo Beifeng's return to the camp.
In fact, Guo Zhifeng was also very surprised, because when he just led his troops away, the camps were still just beginning to take shape, and there was almost no defense, but after he returned, the camps had been built!
"This, how is this possible? There are only two days of going back and forth, unless the soldiers are sleepless, to achieve such an effect, but how can these soldiers work so hard because of a general they just met? Guo Beifeng's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, he didn't know what kind of magic Li Xian had to do this.
But if things are said, it is actually very simple, it is not that Li Xian has magic power, but the four words of leading the way.
In order to speed up the progress in the past few days, Li Xian charged ahead, took the lead in work, ate and lived with everyone, so the soldiers all worked hard, and the task that would have taken five or six days to complete was already over in two days.
However, Guo Beifeng didn't ask these questions in detail, and at the same time didn't care about Li Xian's construction of the camp, but this was a benefit to him, because in his opinion, the camp was repaired, and it was just right to draw more people to fight Wuhai for him.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhifeng came to the Chinese military tent and smiled at Li Xian and saluted.
"General Guo, General Ashina, why did you come so quickly? Could it be that Wuhai has already been captured? But even if it is captured, you have to contact General Xue first to discuss the follow-up battle plan, why did you come back? And this number is not right, there are 5,000 fewer people, this, this, what happened? Li Xian's surprise now is not pretended, of course, this does not mean that Li Xian can't guess the general situation, it must be that these two defeated and fled back, but Li Xian didn't expect that there were only two thousand cavalry left, such battle damage is really amazing.
After all, the mobility of the cavalry is high, and the probability of breaking through is also high, as long as it is not surrounded in an instant, it is impossible to lose so much. Guo Zhifeng and Ashina Daozhen are also veterans and have rich experience in leading troops, so it is said that they should not make such a mistake.
Unless there are two situations, one is that these two have no defense at all, and after being surrounded, they are still charging inward, and then retreat when they find that something is wrong, and the second situation is that the enemy's strength is too strong, and the encirclement of the army is achieved in an instant.
I only heard Ashina really sigh: "Don't hide it from the king, whether it is General Guo or the last general, and even the majority of soldiers are enthusiastic in this battle, but the enemy force is too strong, and it is roughly estimated that it will take more than 100,000 people, or even 200,000 It is possible. ”
When Li Xianyan heard this, he immediately stood up and sighed at Guo Zhifeng and Ashina: "I shouldn't have agreed to let you wait to send troops in the first place, General Guo was bent on making meritorious contributions, but he didn't take into account what I said before, the enemy army would soon react and attack my baggage troops, but General Guo neglected to take precautions, resulting in this defeat." But fortunately, the two generals returned safely, and now we are waiting to reorganize the team, work together with one heart and one mind, and work together to defend the camp, but it is the same. ”
Ashina nodded when he heard this, and said, "What the king said is reasonable, and the last general also thinks so......"
But he didn't expect Guo Zhifeng to immediately cut off Ashina's true words, and said loudly: "The last general was defeated, and this responsibility should be borne by himself, and the king was asked to give the last general a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
Li Xian thought that what he said was to dive into the heart to garrison Dafeichuan, and couldn't help but say with relief: "General Guo can have the heart to serve the country, can Xiao Wang Yan not obey?" Since the enemy army has an ambush in front of them, this means that they are about to attack our Dafeichuan, and I also asked General Guo to rely on his many years of combat experience to carefully plan with Xiao Wang to resist the enemy. ”
But I didn't expect Guo Zhifeng to immediately say: "The king misunderstood, the meaning of the last general is that the last general will lead thousands of soldiers to set off for Wuhai again, the so-called eat a trench, grow a wisdom, since the last general knows the place of the enemy's ambush, this time he will definitely be able to bypass carefully, not to mention that the enemy has already ambushed once, and he would never have thought that I would have a second time, so this time the last general has a very good chance of winning." ”
Li Xian didn't think that Guo Beifeng even wanted to try it for the second time, and suddenly felt angry, pointed at Guo Beifeng and shouted: "General Guo, if you can't do anything, can you care about it anymore?" It is understandable that you want to make meritorious contributions, but you can't joke with the lives of the soldiers, since the enemy army is approaching, the only way now is to hold on, but you don't care about the life and death of the soldiers, regardless of the overall situation of the war, insist on going your own way, and act recklessly. This matter should not be talked about, and this king categorically refuses to allow it! ”
Guo Zhifeng said with a smile: "The reason why I told you is just to respect you, in fact, there is no need to report this matter to you, because this general is the master of the three armies, as long as the general gives an order, do you think that with your own body, you can stop my army from going out?" ”
Li Xian also sneered when he heard this, and then said word by word: "Guo Zhifeng, you have remembered it for this king, now this king is the master of the three armies, two days ago, you have granted the talisman to this king, and now you have no right to transfer troops!" If you want to go to war, you can, but you can only take your own soldiers and horses forward, and you can't take any of the 13,000 soldiers of Dafeichuan with you! ”
"You...... I can't imagine that your prince is so cunning! Guo Zhifeng realized at this time that he had invisibly fallen into the trap of the other party and did not know it, but now it was too late to understand, because Li Xian had mastered the talisman, and no one listened to his orders anymore.
Guo Zhifeng saw that his plan could not be realized, so he had to brush his sleeves away, leaving only the embarrassed Ashina Daozhen.
"Please don't be surprised, General Guo is also young and vigorous, but his loyalty to the country is something to learn from heaven and earth." Ashina Dao really saw Guo Zhifeng leaving, so he could only smile bitterly and explain for him, so as not to disagree with the generals and benefit the enemy.
In fact, the reason why the imperial court sent Ashina Daozhen as the deputy chief manager was to consider that Xue Rengui and Guo Beifeng were both strong personalities, so they sent Ashina Daozhen, a good old man who is good at reconciling with the mud, to reconcile the relationship.
Li Xian naturally knew the meaning of Ashina's mantra, and she didn't care about Guo Beifeng's attitude at all, because he knew that as long as he had military power in his hands, Guo Beifeng couldn't make much waves, so he smiled at Ashina Daozhen and said: "Please rest assured, the general is not assured, Xiao Wang also knows the severity, the so-called brothers are outside the wall to resist their insults, our generals do not agree, and the enemy will benefit in vain, such a stupid thing Xiao Wang will definitely not do." ”
Ashina Dao really saw Li Xian say this, so he put his mind at ease, and made some compensation for Guo Beifeng, so he said goodbye and left.
As soon as Ashina Daozhen came out of Li Xian's Chinese military account, he immediately went to find Guo Zhifeng, comforted him, and then persuaded him to focus on the overall situation and forbear it for the time being.
But I didn't expect Guo Zhifeng to say: "Li Xian used tricks to defraud the military power from me, and now he is holding on to it and not giving it, it's really hateful, I, as the deputy general manager of the Luo Dao march, even Xue Rengui can't take me?" Huangkou children in a district dare to bully each other like this, this hatred is not reported, and I Guo is a big husband in vain. True brother, brother wants to do one thing, I wonder if my brother is willing to help me? ”
"I don't know what? As long as the younger brother can do it, he will definitely do his best. However, Brother Guo must not do anything that makes the relatives and enemies happy. Ashina Dao really understands Guo Zhifeng, and knows that what the other party wants to do must be related to revenge on Li Xian, but he also knows that he can't be offended very much offline, after all, the other party's identity is there, so he is good to persuade him.
But Guo Zhifeng seemed to be blinded by hatred, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry, true brother, I won't kill him, I just want to imprison him and get back what originally belonged to me." ”
"You, you want to mutiny......" Ashina Dao was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a stammer.
"Brother's words are ridiculous, I don't want to mutiny, but to regain the military power that belongs to me, as long as the military power is in hand, I can wave the army to take Wuhai lightly, so that Xue Rengui knows that I am powerful, the queen has already said, as long as I win the first merit in this battle, I will be named the general of the left guard, and then I will replace Xue Rengui to become the first general of the Tang Dynasty, that is, my brother also has unlimited benefits, hehe, since Tuyuhun can restore the country, maybe the Turks will also be able to restore the country in the future, with the queen's trust in me, as long as a few good words, What is still a big deal? ”
"Brother, brother is saying that in the future, he will help the younger brother to achieve the restoration of the Turkic country?" Ashina's true words were suddenly shocked, and he looked at Guo Zhifeng, who was smiling, and stammered and asked.
"Hehe, as long as the queen trusts me, I can be in charge of the Western Regions, what else is impossible?" Guo Zhifeng saw that the other party was excited, knowing that he was moved by what he said, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and said with a faint smile.
"In that case, the younger brother is willing to obey the brother's order." Ashina Daozhen gritted his teeth, fell to the ground categorically, and said solemnly.
"In this case, we will act on the third watch tonight, the real brother is responsible for guarding with the Turkic cavalry, and I will contact the soldiers, capture the guy, and seize the talisman, hehe, as long as this matter is successful, you and my brother will become famous in history in the future, and each will get what he wants, isn't it beautiful?"
Guo Zhifeng seemed to see the scene when he was promoted to the general of the Left Guard and fiercely suppressed Xue Rengui, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, laughing, and didn't see the look of regret flashing in Ashina's true eyes on the side. (To be continued.) )
