Li Xian killed the main general of the Tubo army, Mangji, which had a great impact on the Tubo soldiers, because in their eyes, Mangji was already a figure comparable to the fierce general of the Tang army, Xue Rengui, but he was killed so easily by this ordinary Tang general, it can be seen that this time the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty must be the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, which is simply invincible, so that they no longer have the courage to continue fighting, and there is no hesitation at all, so they have abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Guo Zhifeng originally thought that he would lose face this time and be laughed at, but he didn't expect to be turned the tide by Li Xian and save the defeat, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and felt very relieved, but soon, this relief was replaced by another emotion, that is, jealousy.

He led thousands of people who could not stop the breakthrough of the enemy army, but was almost broken up in formation, and Li Xian only blocked the enemy's advance with only 300 people, and also killed the enemy's main general in the formation.

But Guo Beifeng can't stand this, first of all, he is the son of Guo Xiaoke, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he thinks that he has obtained the true inheritance of his father's art of war, and he is not weaker than his father in terms of military ability, and he has been guarding the border for many years, and he has extremely rich experience in war, how can he not even compare with a little hairy child who has just debuted?

In addition, he is the most conceited is that he is both civil and military, not only outstanding in martial arts, proficient in Tao strategy, but also quite classical, once in the fourth year of Xianqing Emperor strategy test to get the top five, and later in the conquest of Goguryeo, a clutch poem actually stumped Li Ji, and it is precisely because of this that he is even more disdainful of Xue Rengui, who was born poor and is just a brave man.

Therefore, taking into account the above factors, Guo Zhifeng was not grateful to Li Xian for helping him tide over the crisis, but was jealous of Li Xian's talent and military exploits.

Not to mention that Guo Beifeng was jealous of Li Xian and Xue Rengui, just talking about this battle, killing seven or eight thousand Tubo soldiers, dropping nearly 20,000, only two or three thousand people escaped, and in addition, this battle killed the leading general of the Tubo army, Mangji, it can be said that this battle not only relieved the siege of Shancheng, but also raised the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and severely frustrated the spirit of the Tubo army.

"The last general, Murong Zhong, met with Chief Manager Xue, King Zhou, Deputy Chief Manager Guo, and Deputy Chief Ashina." Murong Zhong saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty before, but he didn't dare to go out of the city to greet him, and only after the victory of the Tang army did he open the city gate and welcome the Tang army into the city, and he felt very guilty in his heart, so his tone of voice was quite respectful and flattering.

At this time, I suddenly heard Guo Zhifeng snort coldly: "When the general was ordered to guard Shancheng, the Tibetan thieves did not dare to offend each other for several years, but you were forced to a dead end by its 30,000 rabble, and even the city was almost broken, you are really capable!" ”

Regarding Guo Beifeng's words, in fact, all the generals of the Tang Dynasty present felt the same way, but no one said it, Guo Beifeng didn't care about it, anyway, his heart was not happy, and his qualifications and status were also there, even Xue Rengui couldn't say anything about him, so as soon as he said this, whether it was Xue Rengui, Li Xian, Murong Zhong and others, they were all embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, Ashina Daozhen stood up, and said with a smile: "This is also the cunning of the Tubo thieves, and they suddenly sent troops, and there are not many thieves, we were caught off guard, resulting in this defeat, but no matter what, General Murong has been defeated for more than two months, which can be regarded as a great achievement, otherwise, we still need to find a way to conquer Shancheng, and this will inevitably delay the offensive of our army, okay, okay, the sun is hot, you don't have to stand here, General Murong, can we go into the city to ask for a glass of water to drink?" ”

Guo Zhifeng and Ashina Daozhen can be regarded as having a bit of friendship, and after listening to the other party's words and mud, they had to snort and say no more, and Murong Zhong on the side also reacted, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to go into the city to rest.

And Xue Rengui is also a quick temper, in the city for a few days slightly repaired, and after the arrival of Murong Nuo's bowl, he hurriedly ordered the army to continue to advance, after all, although Mangji died, there are still two or three thousand defeated soldiers, after these people escaped, someone will definitely go to report the news of the arrival of the Tang army to Gar Zanpo, this Zanpo is the brother of Gar Qinling, quite a general, if he is prepared, this battle may be difficult.

Ashina Daozhen and Li Xian both agreed with Xue Rengui's idea, although Guo Zhifeng was very reluctant, but he also knew that what the other party said was right, so he had no choice but to agree, so that when all parties reached a consensus, Xue Rengui ordered the Tang army to immediately march to Dafeichuan, three hundred miles away.

Because the road from Shancheng to Dafeichuan was all mountain roads, and they were walking on the plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, the soldiers generally felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the speed of the march was naturally not fast, and the journey of 300 miles took half a month to arrive.

After the army came to Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he summoned the generals to the big tent to discuss matters.

This time, Guo Beifeng did not delay the opportunity, and came to the big tent in advance, followed by Ashina Daozhen and Li Xian.

In fact, there was nothing to do with Li Xian in this meeting, but after all, Li Xian's identity was there, and Xue Rengui intended to let Li Xian have more knowledge and experience, so he specially invited Li Xian to attend.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xue Rengui said: "You should know that Tuyuhun is full of mountain roads, the road is difficult to walk, if we march like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Wuhai in another ten days, the so-called soldiers are fast, we have lost the opportunity, can not be postponed like this, in my opinion, we should not divide the troops, by the general to lead the soldiers to advance into Wuhai, if you occupy Wuhai, first of all, you can cut off the enemy between the north and the south, and completely isolate the enemy army in the four towns of Anxi, and this big non-Sichuan land is wide, Two camps can be established, and Deputy General Manager Guo will lead the soldiers of the baggage battalion to deploy defenses here, because after Tubo reacts, he will definitely divide his troops to attack Dafeichuan and Wuhai respectively, as long as one of our two sides wins, the two armies can meet, and the enemy army will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, so that not only Tuyuhun can recover the country, but also the four towns of Anxi can be recovered in one fell swoop. ”

"Hehe, this is just General Xue's wishful thinking, in case the enemy attack is too fierce, we can't take care of each other, as long as the years are delayed, it may even be broken by the thieves, at that time, we will not only be difficult to break the enemy, but even put our lives in the hands of others, can General Xue think about this?"

Guo Beifeng was very uncooperative with Xue Rengui's decision, and he sneered at him as soon as he came up, but this is not nonsense, because the problem that Guo Beifeng is worried about does exist.

But at this time, it is already on the bow, and it can't help but send it, not to mention that this is already the best strategy to break the enemy, the probability of victory is still relatively high, Xue Rengui will not give up easily no matter what, so he immediately said awe-inspiringly: "As a military general, since we should promise our lives to the country, even if we encounter danger, we should also fight to the death, like the old general of the loyal Lu Guogongcheng, how can we spare our lives and ignore official business?" Although the land of Tibet is vast, but because it is a bitter cold land, it is vast and sparsely populated, even if everyone is a soldier, how many people can there be? Even if the country comes to fight, it is only two or three hundred thousand, not to mention that it is impossible for him to pour the country to fight, after all, he still has to defend the place, so that at most, there are only more than 100,000 people. ”

In fact, Li Xian still has a conservative opinion on Xue Rengui's judgment, because he knows that this time Tubo will launch an army of 400,000 to fight for the four towns of Tuyuhun and Anxi, but Li Xian doesn't know whether the 400,000 is the claimed or the actual number, and now he wants to persuade Guo Zhifeng, he is not easy to interject, so he did not express his opinion.

Guo Zhifeng didn't know what to do, and was refuted by Xue Rengui without saying anything, but after a while, he said again: "Wuhai Road is long, and the road is difficult and dangerous, General Xue is not familiar with this place, it is better to let the last general lead the army to go out, and General Xue will lead the baggage battalion to guard this place, after all, the last general mainly fought in this area, and he is relatively familiar." ”

But I heard Xue Rengui smile and said: "General Guo's words are wrong, although I rarely arrive here, but I have already touched the location of Wuhai thoroughly, I have a small prestige, forgive the Tibetan thief is also jealous in his heart, and General Guo is newly defeated, the thief must not know that the general is powerful, this point is not good for the general." Hehe, General Guo can rest assured that there will be no mistakes, and baggage is also the top priority, if General Guo can't keep it, please don't shirk it. ”

Xue Rengui's words were very polite, but in fact they were very polite, because this was telling Guo Beifeng that when you were relieving the siege of Shancheng before, your performance was very bad, and you were almost defeated by the enemy, how could such a leading ability take on the task of raiding Wuhai? You'd better be honest, build fortifications here, and fight for me.

Guo Zhifeng naturally knew the meaning of Xue Rengui's words, but he didn't have any temper, who let himself not fight before, and almost lost? Therefore, Guo Zhifeng had no choice but to bow his hand to Xue Rengui, reluctantly agreed, and then sat down dejectedly......

But this is not the end, only Xue Rengui continued: "In view of the fact that General Guo only has thousands of heavy soldiers around him, it is difficult to resist the attack of the enemy army, so the general decided to leave General Ashina's Turkic cavalry behind, plus hundreds of palace guards of King Zhou, so that 20,000 soldiers can be gathered, and these 20,000 soldiers are combined with cavalry, both offensive and defensive, even if 100,000 enemy troops come to attack, they are also able to keep safe." ”

"General, General Ashina is just that, but King Zhou is a prince and has a noble status, how can he fight on the front line? If there is any risk, how can we explain it to Your Majesty? ”

Guo Zhifeng naturally knew Li Xian's ability, and also knew that as long as Li Xian was here, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he proposed not to Li Xian.

But firstly, Xue Rengui had already received Li Xian's hint in advance and agreed to it, and secondly, Guo Beifeng's performance was really bad, so in the end, he still did not agree to Guo Beifeng's request and insisted that Li Xian stay. (To be continued.) )
