Chapter 76: Zhangye Encounters the Enemy
Refreshed, Li Chengzong was relieved, Lu Xiu was tossed and had to go to Sun Simiao for medical treatment.
"Sad, don't you have to sleep at night?" Sun Simiao knew it by looking at the heavy dark circles under his eyes.
Lu Xiu said: "Sleep? How can I sleep! I have to help King Jin guard..."
"Guarding what?" Sun Simiao said curiously.
"It's nothing, you can prescribe me some medicine." Lu Xiu can't say that he died, and such a bad thing can't be spread.
"No need to take medicine, just sleep well at night, next." Sun Simiao shouted.
Lu Xiu couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said: "Don't, how much medicine do you prescribe, I do have something to do at night." ”
"yes, give me some." The next one is none other than Wang Hu, he and Lu Xiu are sick, they don't sleep at night, they don't have a chance to sleep during the day, and they are tortured to the point that they can't do it.
Sun Simiao looked at the two of them, thought about it in his heart, wrote a prescription with his hand, and handed it to the two.
Lu Xiu and Wang Hu said goodbye, but Sun Simiao said slowly: "But the prescription you asked me to prescribe is none of my business." ”
At night, not to mention Lu Xiu, Wang Hu slept like a dead pig.
Li Chengzong couldn't wake him up with his mouth anyway, and wondered: "Drugged?" ”
Looking outside, the moon is dark and the wind is high, is the right time, to go or not to go?
"Forget it, there's a chance." Having said that, in fact, without Wang Hu's protection, Li Chengzong really didn't have the courage to go out alone.
At that time, there was no light, pure natural moonlight, and it was not uncommon to say that you couldn't see your fingers, and everyone had to be afraid.
When Wang Hu woke up, he was startled, and he slept all night!
When Li Chengzong saw him coming, he teased: "What did you have a good dream last night, you can't wake up?" ”
"The last general is guilty," Wang Hu hurriedly said.
When Lu Xiu ran all the way, he saw Wang Hu pleading there, and immediately understood the reason.
"Old thing, you're hurting me." Lu Xiu scolded in his heart.
When the two of them were explaining to Li Chengzong, Li Jing hurried over.
"What's the matter?" Li Chengzong knew that Li Jing would not come to him if he had no major incident.
Li Jing said: "Two days ago, the troops led by General Shan Xiongxin arrived in Zhangye, Hexi, and were ambushed there. ”
"Ambush? Who is so bold? Li Chengzong couldn't believe it, it was a cavalry force of more than 40,000 people.
Li Jing explained: "When Cheng Yanjin led 500 men and horses to survey the terrain, he was ambushed. ”
Li Chengzong said: "That's not right, Zhangye is under the rule of my Datang, how can such a big force dare to be the enemy of my Datang?" ”
"According to General Shan's letter, it seems that the ambush of Cheng Biting Jin was a group of Tibetan people disguised as bandits."
"Tibetans? It's too bold. How is Cheng Biting Jin now? ”
Li Jing said: "I was injured, but it was okay to have Xu Shiji's timely help." Now that they have entered Zhangye, there will be no more accidents. ”
"What about the Tibetan bandits?"
"The whereabouts are unknown, and Shan Xiongxin believes that they are not familiar with the terrain and do not dare to pursue them wantonly."
Li Chengzong said: "Tell them to wait for us to arrive, it's really uneasy." ”
Li Jing obediently took the order.
In fact, Li Jing still felt the same in his heart. As a general with a criminal record for the old Li family, he held an army of nearly 40,000 people here in King Jin, which he couldn't have imagined before.
After going down, Li Jing hurriedly passed Li Chengzong's order to Zhangye, and urged everyone to step up the march.
Zhangye City.
Cheng bit Jin and said: "It's okay to lighten it, that's meat." ”
Xu Shiji said angrily: "What are you calling, I can't see that it's meat?" Who called you good to die and not die to be shot with an arrow in the ass? You said you're really good, how can you get shot in the ass while riding on a horse? ”
"When I'm ready, I'm going to kill back, and a bunch of Tubo dogs actually dare to ambush me."
Qin Qiong said: "Speaking of the Tubo people, it's also strange. Where did they come from, and Du Yan, the head of Zhangye, didn't know about it. ”
Shan Xiongxin said: "I didn't say this, it's not that I don't give you face in Tiance Mansion." Don't you really know who Du Yan is? ”
"There are so many people in Tiance Mansion, I guess not everyone knows about it!" Xu Shiji had the intention to defend Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, of course, he also defended himself, after all, he was also a member of the Tiance Mansion, although he later followed King Jin.
Shan Xiongxin sneered, thinking that he was fortunate to have the intelligence officer prepared for him by King Jin beside him.
"Du Yannai is a member of the army of Cao of Tiance Mansion, a bachelor of literature. He came to Zhangye at most half a month earlier than us, and he was given a position by the emperor of Qin. "Shan Xiongxin's words suppressed Qin Qiong and the others, so clearly?
Qin Qiong said: "Do you suspect that it was the King of Qin who contacted Tubo and attacked us this time?" ”
Shan Xiongxin said: "That's not it, if King Qin makes a move, he will let me go if he wants to come, and find an opportunity to attack King Jin." I just want to say that this manager is unreliable, and it is up to us to figure out what is going on. ”
"No, Big Brother Shan. Didn't the king of Jin order us not to act privately until he arrived? Xu Shiji persuaded.
"Don't be stupid, wait for King Jin to come. We don't know if we ask three questions, don't we have to be scolded even more? ”
"It's not unreasonable, I'll personally lead the troops to investigate." Qin Qiong said.
Shan Xiongxin said: "Take two thousand soldiers, be more careful." ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "What the captives we captured may not be true, we must be careful." The forces here in the Hexi Corridor are intertwined, saying that they are under the control of my Datang, but in fact they are full of dangers. ”
"It's not that I look down on them, if it weren't for the advantage of the terrain and the advantage of numbers this time, those Tubo people would never be able to beat the gold. You have all seen the equipment of the Divine Army. "Xu Shiji is quite proud, the equipment of the Shence Army is enough to look down on the entire Tang Dynasty and even the world, the cavalry is a cuirass, a spear, a horizontal knife, and a hard bow, see who disobeys you, you still dare not have a temper.
I have to accept it, and I can't do it if I don't accept it.
Qin Qiong said: "If it is about equipment, the Shence Army is indeed first-class. ”
Shan Xiongxin said: "What are these words, can't I use the combat effectiveness of the Divine Command Army?" ”
"It's well-trained, but it doesn't have enough blood, and it's not a bloody army."
Shan Xiongxin doesn't like to listen, this is his hard work. This is also Qin Qiong, if someone else says this, or in front of Shan Xiongxin, that is, looking for a fight, if you don't fight, you don't know that I Shan Xiongxin has a bad temper.
In the unknown corner of Zhangye, the Tubo people were also unlucky, not only killed and injured, but also exposed themselves.
"You stupid people, we are sneaking into Hexi to secretly observe the terrain. How did you blatantly do it with Tang Jun? ”
"It's urgent. Those troops are not from Zhangye, and if we don't strike first, I'm afraid they will find out about it recently, and I hope that the generals will forgive us. ”
"I can forgive you, but what about Lord Ludongzan? Rubbish. ”
Saying that, the general immediately made a decision and ordered everyone to withdraw from Hexi.
