Before Xu Chen took office in Hexi, he already had a lot of information about generals in the Ministry of War, after all, the old man Tian Rong reminded him, and he didn't dare to slack off, and according to Xu Chen's understanding, the background behind the higher-ranking military officers was very intricate and terrifying, and Ge Shuhan's real cronies were not many.

The water in Hexi Domain is very deep, in fact, it has long become a well-known "secret" in the imperial court, as early as when Huangfu Weiming served as the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, Hexi has become a pool of muddy water, and then Huangfu Weiming was framed by Li Linfu until Wang Zhonghei fell from power, and the atmosphere has long been unright, and now Yang Guozhong has come to power, and he has won over Ge Shuhan, but there are many other forces that have been cultivated, and there are some other people recommended by princes and nobles.

The intricate sphere of influence of the feudal towns was largely affected by the corruption of the imperial court, and the degree of political decay after the Tianbao year had been corroded to the bone marrow, a Li Linfu and a Yang Guozhong had already made the imperial court into a miasma, and the distribution of power had become a means to satisfy their own selfish desires.

However, although Hexi is full of interests in all aspects, at least on the bright side, Ge Shuhan still governs Hexi in an orderly manner, which is just like this country, everything is beautiful on the surface, and the fuse of the later war directly pushed all contradictions to the peak.

Now Xu Chen is worried that it is difficult for him to distinguish which people are Yang Guozhong's cronies and which people are the game of the Yang family's secret forces, and Xu Chen is not sure whether the spies in the army are Yang Guozhong's people, Xu Chen knows that Yang Guozhong is powerful, he can do anything, in order to achieve his goal, it is not a problem to sacrifice tens of thousands of troops, there are too many unknown factors, this is where Xu Chen's headache lies.

Tian Rong meant that the Yang family's secret forces wanted to pull Ge Shuhan down through this expedition, and Yang Guozhong's Xiao Jiujiu was also likely to use this opportunity to ruin Xu Chen's reputation. is not a threat to his future status, if Fang Yi deduces, there are indeed spies in the army, and the power of this spies is not small, which has to make Xu Chen think of these two forces......

Fang Yi was startled, this kind of open-mouthed, fantastical assumption is indeed too scary, indeed too nonsense, and what Xu Juma said in his mouth, the power network in the military camp is very chaotic. Even the horses, who have already commanded several armies, do not have absolute exercise of power over the entire army, and think of the fact that a large number of generals in the Pinglu army have changed from top to bottom overnight, and it seems that something is wrong.

After the shock, Fang Yi came back to his senses, the 10,000 cavalry who suddenly crossed the canyon were indeed too strange, the only reasonable explanation was that there must be a powerful traitor in the barracks, and obviously the traitor would definitely be exposed, and with the night attack of the Turks tonight, this person was likely to defect......

Fang Yi was slightly reminded by Xu Chen. came to such a conclusion, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed very possible, and he glanced at Xu Chen with a pale face. Xu Chen said with a smile: "What, is the general afraid?" ”

At this time, another front waited to report, and Xu Chen asked the soldier to report loudly about the battle ahead: 10,000 Turkic iron cavalry were temporarily blocked by the Great Dou Army, and the rear reinforcements were about to rush to the battlefield.

The current scene is the fiery fight of the former equation Shouli. Reinforcements were also constantly being sent to the canyon, but in the face of such a battle, Xu Chen and Fang Yi calmly discussed who was undercover!

Xu Chen listened to this battle report. It was a sigh of relief, looking like he was under control, Fang Yi seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of reasoning about the case, and after Na Feng Hou retreated, he came to Xu Chen, and said with some excitement: "As previously guessed, the Turkic army is just feint to attract most of our army, and what it really uses is the nearly 1,000 Turkic stragglers and traitors in the battalion on the grassland, and their target must be grain and grass!" ”

As I said 10,000 times before, the only powerful thing for the expeditionary force is grain and grass, the baggage can be omitted, and the weapons can be thrown away, but the grain and grass, which is the thing that sustains life, should be ready at all times, since it is an expeditionary force, the equipment and strength will naturally not be too bad, and the real capital that wants to maintain combat effectiveness is military food, if the military food is attacked by the Turks, the 50,000 army has no food to eat, and the army will definitely be in chaos, even if it is not chaotic, there is no need to mention any combat effectiveness.

Fang Yi's posture was like a knife to slash, Xu Chen hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hehe, your three thousand men and horses are not used to protect grain and grass, they are used to protect me!" ”……

Once again, a bird's-eye view of the magnificent scene on the outskirts of the Ikono Gorge from the night sky was still a gathering of torches, and the soldiers who charged immediately did not carry torches, which affected the combat effectiveness and the second was that the torches could easily become the target of the enemy, so the cavalry who cut down were completely based on their feelings.

The battle in the dark is roughly like this, launching a night attack is indeed very risky, the scale of night battles throughout the ages is not much, and there are not a few major wars, mainly because there are too many uncertain factors, as long as it is not urgent, the strength of the two sides is equal, it is rainy, dark and windy, it is not suitable to travel.

Cheng Shouli also felt that something was wrong with this cavalry, according to common sense, 10,000 light cavalry night attack gallop, the number of the big fighting army was relatively small, it was difficult to block the impact, and could only retreat and wait for reinforcements, and this Turkic cavalry obviously had no intention of hard work, and several times concentrated forces to fight, they were easily cracked by the big fighting army, and the current battle situation was a bit stalemate.

At first, Cheng Shouli also thought that the last time he let the five thousand Turkic soldiers annihilate, hit the enemy's arrogance, and made the cavalry of the 10,000 people timid, but after all, Shouli was a fierce general under Ge Shuhan, after so many battles, after a few rounds with the enemy, it was obvious that the other party did not mean to attack, which was obviously unreasonable, it was quite unreasonable to suddenly emerge from the Turks at the mouth of the canyon, and the Turks were caught off guard, and now they were dragging on, waiting for the follow-up troops to come to reinforcements, and the Turks obviously had no chance of winning.

Cheng Shouli quickly thought of a possibility, this Turkic was to attract the main force of the Tang army, but what was their intention? ……

At this moment, Ashina sat in the tent, his expression was a little gloomy, pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes slightly, the skin in his beard looked like a smile, his eyes were obviously a joy, a kind of eager expectation, a kind of confidence in controlling the conspiracy, the plan was in progress, what he was waiting for was time...... (To be continued......)
