Everyone in the tent nodded again and again, deeply impressed by Wang Shichong's reasoning, and looked at Wang Shichong's eyes, all of them became full of reverence, even the few young generals who had nostrils facing the sky and a frivolous look on their faces all stood with their hands down, pricked up their ears, and listened without blinking their eyes.

Xue Shixiong sighed: "Wang Shilang's vision is really superior, then according to what you can see, the Eastern Turkic army has now circled to the rear of our army, and will attack our army depending on the result, and how many troops are there in this Western Turk, according to the poisonous plan of Ali Baba just now, how will they frame our army?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded, took a few big strides forward, and walked from the tent door to Xue Shixiong's big case: "General Xue, this is the military tent, it is your military discussion, this time General and General Liu are also the chief and deputy head of the Xihai Road march, and they have no right to interfere with your command, but now that the military situation is urgent, I have to throw out a little personal opinion, please forgive me." ”

Xue Shixiong laughed: "It's all to blame for Ben Shuai's negligence, I haven't asked the two of you about their intentions and identities for so long, Liu Weiwei, you two are also going to lead troops south this time to attack the West Sea?" ”

Liu Quan didn't speak for a long time, he had been thinking about it, this time he heard Xue Shixiong's words, smiled slightly, took out half a tiger talisman and a holy decree from his arms, stepped forward, and passed it to Xue Shixiong through his own soldiers: "This time @ the two of us came here at the behest order, to divide 10,000 elite horsemen from Xue Dashuai's army, and follow us south to attack the land of the West Sea in Tuyuhun to cut off the retreat of Yun Khan." This is the Tiger Talisman and the Edict. Xue Dashuai also asked to take a look. ”

After Xue Shixiong tested the tiger talisman. After carefully reading the holy decree twice, he raised his head and said: "There is no problem with the tiger talisman and the holy decree, but the situation here is clear to the two of us, and now we really can't give the two of us 10,000 elite horsemen, and please stay first, and work together with us to break through the country of Yiwu." Let's talk about getting through the current difficulties. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "That's exactly what I mean, General Liu, what do you say?" ”

Liu Quan nodded: "Since you should put state affairs first, General Wang, if you have any clever plans, let's talk about it first." ”

Wang Shichong said to Xue Shixiong: "Then, our two armies will be considered to be divided for the time being, Xue Dashuai, please treat me and General Liu as military generals under your account, and the last general wants to borrow Xue Dashuai's map for use." ”

Xue Shixiong also said with a straight face: "General Wang." You don't have to stick to these rituals, come to someone. Set up the map and sand table, and let General Wang guide the military aircraft! ”

Soon, a silk map of the size of the Xue Zishuai flag floating on the flagpole outside was supported in the big tent, and a sand table within a radius of thirty miles was placed in the center of the military tent, with the military camp of the Great Sui and the city of Yiwu five miles away as the center, surrounded by deserts, even all kinds of water springs were clearly marked, and the geographical proportions were also meticulous, obviously made by people who were proficient in the art of war.

Wang Shichong looked at the sand table and praised: "I have heard for a long time that General Xue is my Great Sui general, I didn't expect this sand table to be so exquisitely made, and the situation within a radius of dozens of miles can be fully understood." ”

Xue Shixiong stroked his beard and smiled, obviously this is also his proud work: "I haven't fought for many years, and my kung fu in making a sand table is also a lot worse, so General Wang laughed, General Wang, let's talk about the enemy's intentions first." ”

Wang Shichong picked up a two-foot-long wooden stick, used it as a baton, and began to explain on this sand table: "Now the barracks of our army are here, five miles away from Yiwu City, there are 30,000 infantry, about 12,000 cavalry and camel soldiers, and about 8,000 soldiers and baggage soldiers. ”

"The 40,000 cavalry of the Eastern Turks are now lying in ambush forty or fifty miles east of our army, and it depends on the results of our army's siege to decide which side to stand on, so they can be ignored for the time being."

"The real enemy on the battlefield is the troops of the Western Turks and the soldiers of the Yiwu State, although the Yiwu State has been oppressed by the Western Turks for many years, but they have long been accustomed to being their servants, and they dare not resist, at least until the main force of the Western Turks is defeated, they will help the Western Turkic army to fight, and even in order to defend their own cities, they will go all out in the battle to defend the city. As far as I usually know, Yiwu is a big country in the Western Regions, and there are as many as 5,000 foot riders, far more than the only one or two thousand people that Ali said just now, and these people should be the main force defending the city. ”

"In addition to the Western Turks, in addition to leaving some of the old and weak soldiers to help defend the city, the main force of the headquarters of Kuzhen Tutun should have about 20,000 cavalry, all of which should stay in the mountains thirty or forty miles west of the city, and when our army attacks the city from all sides, it will suddenly kill out, attack the flank of our army, and join forces with the defenders in the city to defeat our army in one fell swoop!"

Xue Shixiong nodded and sighed: "This is indeed a poisonous plan, I kind of understand what General Wang just said, the idea that Ali Baba came up with, he wants us to attack the city on all sides, in this way, my army is scattered, and the troops to Ximen will not exceed 30,000 at most, which gives them the opportunity to raid from behind, but I don't understand, why do they still use a trick to surrender?" When the time comes to open the city gates, as soon as our army pours in, aren't we afraid that the city will fall directly? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "General Xue doesn't know, this Yiwu country has been in a state of undefended for a long time, because the east is the desert, basically in a state of undefended, only the west is connected to other countries in the Western Regions by the Silk Road, and the foreign enemies have always been killed from the direction of the West Gate and the North Gate, so the city walls on the west and north sides are taller and stronger than other sections, and there is also an urn city in the outer city." ”

"Even if you open the gate of the outer city, after our soldiers rush in, you will find that you are rushing into an urn city within a radius of two or three miles, when the time comes, as long as the defenders put away the drawbridge of the gate, and the city gate falls a jack gate, you can trap the thousands of vanguard troops in our army rushing into the city in the urn city, and then either release arrows, or fall stones, or set up a trap, you can easily annihilate the thousands of people and horses of our army, when the vanguard of our army is lost, and when the sharp spirit is damaged, we will definitely attack the city with all our strength, and when the time comes, The cavalry of the Western Turks is killed from behind, and our army will be defeated! ”

Everyone gasped, and Xue Shixiong's face sank like water: "What a poisonous strategy, General Wang." Have you been to Igo before? How is it so clear about the situation here? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "I haven't been here." But my caravan. There are also Pei Shiju Pei Shilang, who has been to the Western Regions many times, has been to Yiwu several times, so he is deeply impressed by this place, the urn city at the West Gate is a market place in peacetime, and it is a place where traders from all walks of life trade, and few people have noticed the role of wartime here, but now they must have cleared the space early. set up all kinds of vicious ambushes in that urn city, just waiting for our army to enter, otherwise Ali Baba would not have said anything about raising fire. ”

Pei Renji gritted his teeth and said: "After defeating Yiwu, we must find out this Ali Baba and break the corpse into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Wang Rengong couldn't see much expression on his dark face, he looked up at Wang Shichong: "General Wang, according to your high opinion, how should our army deal with it?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It's very simple, the plan will be calculated, and the sound will hit the east!" ”

Desert in winter. The night came exceptionally early, and the sun set above the horizon. Soon it became dark, and the temperature also fell from the hot during the day to the freezing point in a moment, in the desert fifty miles northeast of Yiwu City, I don't know when, there have been set up scattered tents, within a radius of more than ten miles, it is a temporary camp, people shouting and neighing horses, resounding through this camp, piles of fires, roasting fat beef and mutton, wearing leather armor, wearing felt hats Turkic warriors, according to the size of a cavalry squad of ten people around the fire, with knives to cut the meat roasted on the fire, By the way, he poured a sip of mare's milk spirits, and excitedly talked about the war and killing that was coming the day before and after, while the old warriors were boasting about their heroic deeds of the year, while wiping their horses and iron armor, so that the young warriors around them listened with fascination and excitement.

Prince Dubi was dressed in military uniform, more than a dozen small pigtails hung down from around his head, Mingguang big armor was covered with a sheepskin jacket with turned-up, and a golden helmet with pheasant tail feathers on his head, the sword was stationed, standing on a high ground on the edge of the desert camp, smiling, looking at his tens of thousands of soldiers, while his mastermind Gao Baoyi, combing the hair of the Han people, wearing a fox fur coat, stood beside him, his face was solemn and thoughtful.

Prince Dubi seemed to see Gao Baoyi's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, tomorrow our grassland athletes will pick up the honor of our Turkic ancestors, restore our wolf nature, and tear the body and flesh of the Sui people again. ”

Gao Baoyi shook his head: "Respected prince, since I abandoned my identity as a Northern Qi clan, fled into the desert, and became a member of the grassland, I have broken off my previous Han identity, and now I am the most loyal servant of your prince, how can I think about the lives of those Sui people, what I am worried about is that if I don't do it clean this time, I will report back to the fleeing Sui army, it will not be our East-Turkic blessing!" ”

Prince Dubi waved his hand confidently: "This time we are playing the black wolf banner of the Western Turks, and we are using the banner of the Kuzhen crossbow tribe, even if the Sui army sees it, they will think that we are the people of the Western Turks, and they will not aim the spearhead at us, if Yang Guang is angry and sends a large army to conquer the Western Turks, then the opportunity for the revival of our Eastern Turks will really come!" ”

Gao Baoyi sighed: "Kuzhen Tutun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this time I think he is also using us, the Sui general Xue Shixiong is the elite soldiers in the Youzhou area, and it is not such a good bone to gnaw, I am worried that when the time comes, we will be dragged into the water by Kuzhen Tutun and fall into a bitter battle with the Sui army, so it will not be counted." ”

Prince Dubi sneered: "I'm not so stupid, I will take advantage of the fire for others, I have sent people to infiltrate Yiwu City, only after Kuzhen Tutun succeeds, he will light the yellow wolf smoke, then I will send troops to hunt down the remnants of the Sui army, there is no need to pay any price, and after the war, the armor and ordnance of the Sui army will belong to me, no matter what, I will not lose money." ”

Gao Baoyi shook his head: "Then what if Kuzhen Tutun can't withstand the attack of the Sui army, and Yiwu City falls?" ”

The corners of Prince Dubi's mouth hooked: "Kuzhen has been operating here for four or five years, and Yiwu is the top fortified city in the Western Regions, if he can't withstand it for even a day or two, then he can die, and then we can appear on the battlefield as an ally of the Sui army, help them clean up the mess, at most say a few sorry, just say that we are lost in the desert, so the deadline is." ”

A look of disappointment flashed in Gao Baoyi's eyes: "Prince, in fact, I still don't understand, we are doing well now, and Wang Shichong is constantly sending iron tools there every year, why take such a big risk to do this business?" Where can't you get those tens of thousands of pairs of armor, and you have to risk turning your face with the Sui Dynasty? ”

A trace of turquoise light flashed in the eyes of the prince of Dubi, like a blue wolf in the desert, fierce and firm, so that Gao Baoyi unconsciously took half a step back, only to hear him say word by word: "Because Ku is really our Turks, we all have the blood of the noble wolves of the Ashina tribe, we are the blue wolves of the desert, not the lackeys of the Sui people, we Turks have been surrendered for ten years, and we don't want to continue to surrender, so sooner or later we will all rise and be self-reliant, Let the Sui people see what an unyielding steppe wolf is! ”

Prince Duxin is full of momentum, Gao Baoyi has followed him for many years, knowing that he has made up his mind in this appearance, and it is useless to persuade him, so he can only nod and say: "Then only tomorrow pay more attention to observe the situation in the city, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the people in the city to report the news, we also have to send scouts to observe the battlefield and reflect the latest battle situation in time." ”

The prince smiled slightly: "This is natural, I have already let my guards set off, while guarding the surroundings, while letting them go around from the north to Yiwu City after dawn, observe the battle situation in time and report later, if the Sui army wins, then we will stand on the side of the Sui army, on the contrary, if Kuzhen Tutun's plan succeeds, we will chase and kill the Sui army, and no armor will be left!" ”

When Prince Dubi was impassionedly speaking his grand idea, a voice suddenly came: "Prince, military advisor, I have caught a Sui spy!" ”

The faces of Prince Dubi and Gao Baoyi changed at the same time, and they turned their heads back, and Gao Baoyi said sharply: "What? Sui army spies? Where did you catch it? ”

Under the moonlight, four Turkic soldiers, dressed in a Turkic sheepskin jacket and a medium-sized man with large flowers, came towards the top of the sand dunes. Gao Baoyi only felt that the figure was very familiar from a distance, and his heart moved, and he shouted: "It's Mr. Wei?" (To be continued......) R1292
