Chapter 178: The Eve of the Great War (2)

As soon as the commander left, the military advisor sat down on the ground, his face was like ashes, and he sighed: "The Tang Dynasty is strong, how can we fight it together?" If the coach insists on going his own way, it will definitely cause a catastrophe! ”

As soon as the Hui Turks made a move, the scouts in front reported the news to Comrade Lao Li. After learning the news, Comrade Lao Li immediately announced that Wei Hong and Li Jing were in the meeting, and in the conference hall, Comrade Lao Li's face was heavy, and his speech was not as brisk as before: "Wei Hong, Wei Guogong, the army of the Hui Turks has attacked our side, and the big battle is imminent, and success or failure is here!" What else do you two have to say? ”

Li Jing was the first to speak: "Shengshang, no matter whether this battle is successful or lost, now Mamane Mountain is not a place for you to stay, please return to Beijing immediately!" "Previously, the Hui Turks did not dare to attack easily, and it would be okay for Comrade Lao Li to stay in Horsehair Mountain, even if a large-scale battle broke out between the two armies, the Tang Army would never lose to the Hui Turks, and Comrade Lao Li personally supervised the battle and did not have any worries about safety. But now the plan has changed, the defense in Horsehair Mountain is weak, if the city is broken and Comrade Lao Li is captured alive, then Datang is really over.

Comrade Lao Li naturally knew what was at stake, and although he wanted to boost morale at first, for the sake of the overall situation, he still accepted Li Jing's suggestion and prepared to leave for Beijing in the afternoon.

In fact, Wei Hong thought the same as Li Jing, although the battle was well prepared, but if it was not guaranteed, an accident would occur, which was really dangerous. Comrade Lao Li is the king of a country, and the entire Tang Dynasty must rely on him, and he must not risk his life. After confirming that Comrade Lao Li agreed to return to Beijing, Wei Hong relieved himself: "Shengshang, although the villain is very reluctant to officialdom, he tries his best to maintain his innocence with officialdom. But once the war starts, the villain has no official position, how dare he dictate the war situation. Please also ask the Holy Lord to hand over the command of the Jade Dragon Guard to the villain for the time being, once this battle is over, the villain will immediately return the command of the Jade Dragon Guard. ”

Hearing Wei Hong's words, Comrade Lao Li was very surprised and relieved. You must know that Wei Hong is killed and does not want to have any entanglement with officialdom, but for the sake of the overall situation, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his own interests. This spirit of sacrificing the ego and fulfilling the ego impressed Comrade Li.

Comrade Lao Li smiled very gratefully: "I didn't mistake you at the beginning!" You know the Jade Dragon Guard better than anyone else, and I will naturally leave the command of the Jade Dragon Guard to you, so that you can make the best use of your talents. After that, Comrade Lao Li took out a small token made of pure gold from his arms, which Comrade Lao Li had just made recently, and it was the only certificate for dispatching Yulongwei.

Wei Hong took the token, carefully put it in his arms, and said to Comrade Li: "Holy Lord, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, please return to Beijing as soon as possible!" When this battle is won, the villain will definitely notify the saint as soon as possible! ”

"Good! I am waiting for your good news! With that, Comrade Li left the chamber with Li Jing's support and immediately set off to return to Beijing.

Wei Hong originally thought that Li Jing would go with Comrade Lao Li, but after seeing off Comrade Lao Li, Li Jing returned. Wei Hong also knew why Li Jing didn't leave, to put it bluntly, he was actually worried that he was young and vigorous, and some things were not well grasped. The so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, with Li Jing in charge, and the two of them can discuss with each other and assist each other, which is basically harmless.

As soon as Comrade Lao Li left, the entire Horsehair Mountain became lively, sharpening knives and wiping swords, with a high-spirited attitude. The 2,000 defenders left behind by Qin Shubao did not have the slightest fear in the face of the Turkic army that might come at any time, as if this was a war that must be won. Wei Hong was very puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that even Comrade Lao Li has run back to the capital, which must indicate that the situation in this war is not optimistic, so where do these soldiers come from with confidence? Wei Hong casually grabbed a soldier and asked, only to know that their morale was given by Yulongwei. Recalling that when the Jade Dragon Guard cut melons and vegetables, he defeated 10,000 Turkic cavalry, which made people's blood boil. As long as Yulongwei doesn't leave, everything is easy to say.

Wei Hong admired the optimistic spirit of the soldiers. This is how it is to fight a war, the more you can see it, the more you can give full play to your combat effectiveness. If you haven't fought yet, you're already stage frightened, and you don't even have the ability to resist, wouldn't it make your family slaughter pigs and dogs, wreaking havoc to your heart's content?

When Wei Hong was in full swing directing the pre-war preparations, Cheng Chumo and Li Dejian suddenly found Wei Hong and fought in front of Wei Hong. Cheng Chumo joined the Jade Dragon Guard early, and he was wearing extremely heavy armor, as long as he dragged it down, he was as light as a swallow, and he was better than Li Dejian in terms of strength and speed. As a result, Li Dejian has been passive and was chased and beaten by Cheng Chumo.

As soon as these two bastards met, Wei Hong was already surprised, and lazily pulled them away, and said helplessly: "The sharp knives of the Turkic army are almost pointing at our noses, you two still have the leisure to fight here, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Cheng Chu's face was flushed and his neck was thick, pointing at Li Dejian's nose, and shouting angrily: "This kid is not disciplined!" Lao Tzu is the commander of the heavy infantry, everything is up to Lao Tzu, let him go east, he has to go east, to the west he has to go west, what Lao Tzu says is what it is. But this kid has been singing against Lao Tzu and doesn't listen to anything! If everyone else is like him, how will this team be brought in the future? ”

Obedience is the duty of a soldier, no matter what deep hatred there is, as long as you are in the army, you must obey the orders of your superiors. Wei Hong looked at Li Dejian and asked angrily, "Is this really the case?" ”

Li Dejian pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "What bullshit leader, Mr. Wei, don't be deceived by this kid!" If he gives a reasonable order, I don't say a word, just do it! But everyone is sorting out their equipment, sharpening their knives and sharpening their guns, and this kid has to let me carry fodder for the heavy cavalry's mounts! Isn't that clearly putting on small shoes for me! ”

Since the beginning of the fight, Cheng Chumo has been reluctant to let Li Dejian join Yulongwei, and it seems that he has been holding on to it until now. Wei Hong sighed and looked at Cheng Chumo: "Chu Mo, we are all friends who have a good relationship, you are so public and personal vendettas, isn't it good?" It's just joking, forget it, if you do it, it will damage the relationship between us. ”

Cheng Chumo pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
