On the second day, a four-page reply was handed to Zhang Mai, the paper was clean, but it smelled of blood.

This reply was presented by Ma Xiaochun, and his eyes were full of tiredness when he presented this return, which was completely different from the flying agility of the past. It was as if he had exhausted his mental strength last night.

Zhang Mai opened the reply, and saw that what was written in it was all confessions, the first piece of paper was Ali's confession, which was circled, crossed, and pointed, Ma Xiaochun explained to Zhang Mai that the circle was the news that An Jiutong guò felt very sure of multiple confirmations, and the cross was fake news, and the dotted was uncertain.

The second piece of paper is the same, but these are the confessions of a dozen middle-level generals.

There are a lot of information points on these two sheets, which are gathered on the third paper, but they are An Jiu's summary. Zhang Mai found that the handwriting was very rigorous, and asked Ma Xiaochun who wrote it, Ma Xiaochun said that it was written by An Jiu, Zhang Mai was a little stunned, he originally thought that a person with a humble status like An Jiu was mostly illiterate, so he knew that he could write such a stroke.

Looking at this word, it is clear that he is a scholar, Zhang Mai really can't figure out how such a person can make those prisoners who are guilty of crime make such a terrible sound.

Looking at An Jiu's summary carefully, the wording is also quite rigorous and economical, even stingy. It is summarized as follows:

"A-one, Satuk. Bogra had been away from Talas for more than three months, and thousands of troops and horses had been transferred from Talas before departure, and again a month ago, and he did not know where to go, and he did not know what to do. ”

Zhang Mai couldn't help but tighten his hand with the reply, thinking that just by getting this news, he should give An Jiu a great credit! I wondered what An Jiu had done to let Ali tell such important information. Read on:

"Jia, the left-behind general of Talas is Sekan, and his man is a general under Bogra Khan, who is good at using soldiers, but brutal, abusive, and greedy. Musa, the son of Bogra Khan, was also in the city and was a prisoner. ”

"Sekan, Sekan ......" Zhang Mai thought that if Bogra Khan was not in Talas, this Sekan would probably become the most important opponent of the Tang Army in the future.

"Jiasan, there are about 8,000 troops in Talas today, and about 1,000 troops in Kulan City. The people of the two places are brave, and in times of crisis, the people can also help in the war. ”

"A fourth, the reason for sending troops to think about it - hearing that there is a police in the city of Kulan, Sekan is between believing and not believing, his subordinate general Gasudin strongly advises him to be cautious, rather believe that he has it, not believe that it has not, Sekan after several thoughts, send two generals to help, two generals, one is Ali, one is Baga, Baga led a thousand people to rush to Kulan City first, Ali led 1,200 people, first to Ba Ersi, will take the city of native soldiers to meet in Kulan City."

Zhang Mai suddenly realized when he heard this, knowing why Hui Ersi came so quickly, it turned out that the Talas side did not already know what was happening on the side of Ja Ersi, but the soldiers rushed to Kulan City in two ways, but what the Hui people did not expect was that when Ali's troops set off, Jaw Ersi had already fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and as a result, Ali was caught off guard when he came to Ba Ersi, and the whole army was wiped out.

After reading An Jiu's entire presentation, Zhang Mai couldn't help but sigh: "This An Jiu is simply a genius." I don't think there are such a figure in our Tang Army. ”

Guo Shiyong seemed to disagree with Zhang Mai's statement, and sighed: "Where is he a genius, he is just sick in his heart." Since he was a child, he likes to torture people, and his methods are also full of tricks, and he can't find anyone to torture, so he goes to torture animals. If you can torture people, you will be happy like a drunkard encountering wine, if you can't find someone to torture, you will not know the taste of food, sleep poorly, the older you get older, the more serious this problem is, at first the elders think that he has a bad nature, the root of evil is deep, and constantly advise, and then slowly learn that he likes to torture people so much, and he does not have malicious intentions, but he is so sick that he can't control himself. ”

Zhang Mai put down the reply, let the generals circulate it, and said, "What do you think? ”

Liu An said: "In the hands of An Jiu, it is difficult not to tell the truth. I think this information is not low. The forces in this area of Talas are even smaller than we expected, but they are still much stronger than we are. But as long as we stay mobile, we shouldn't be intercepted by them. ”

Yang Yi said: "Although there are more troops on the Talas side than us, the troops on the side of Kulan City are less than ours!" Why don't we take down Kulan City first! ”

Guo Shiyong said: "Eight thousand soldiers and horses in Talas, two thousand have been out, but there are still six thousand, of which one thousand have been annihilated by us. If you want to attack Kulan City, there are many merchants and private soldiers, and the mobilization can reach more than two or three thousand people to defend the city. Besides, this time we were afraid that they would reinforce Ba Ersi, and we let go of the herdsmen captives to spread false news, saying that we were going to attack Kulan City, and that side must be strictly guarded at the moment, and we could not obtain the city by attacking like Ba Ersi, and it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, we attacked strongly, they defended it strictly, and our troops may not be enough. ”

The generals discussed, or felt that Julan City could be attacked, or felt that Julan City was difficult to fight, and finally Zhang Mai asked Guo Luo, Guo Luo said: "Can Julan City be beaten, you can discuss it again, but if we defeat Julan City, what should we do next?" If we can't beat Kulan City? And what to do? What are we going to fight Foran for? ”

His words returned to the grand strategy of the Tang Army, and all the generals remembered the short-term, medium-term and long-term strategies set by Zhang Mai: in the short term, they would plunder grain and grass and make further material replenishment for Dengxia Valley; In the medium term, it is necessary to mobilize the people who are tired of running for their lives; As for the long-term strategic goal, it is to establish a base area and connect with Chang'an.

After Guo Luo raised this point, he said: "If it is for plundering, then we can't attack the fortified city when we go to Kulan City this time, as long as we sweep its suburbs and then retreat; If it is to lure Bogra Khan, then we will have to adjust our strategy in this battle and play the banner of the Tang Dynasty; As for the third objective...... Then we are going to break through the Talas line of defense and march towards Shule. ”

His analysis was well-organized, and when he said a few words, all the generals bowed their heads, and Liu An said: "It's just sweeping the suburbs of Julan City, and it won't have much effect; As for breaking through the defensive line of Talas Kulan City, we will march towards Shule...... It doesn't seem to be the best choice. ”

Because even if the Tang army can break through the defense line of Talas Julan City, after the breakthrough, there are still thousands of miles of unfamiliar roads to go in the south.

"So, are we going to lure Bogra Khan back first? Draw the attention of the Hui people to this side? Tang Renxiao said.

Yang Yi said: "Then what will we do after the Hui people shift their attention here?" Go back to Broken Leaf Hebei again? When is that the head? ”

The so-called luring back of the Hui people and the Tang army returned to the north of the Broken Leaf River instead, that was a backup option in the case of not being able to break through Talas, but a back road, and radicals like Yang Yi naturally did not like this idea.

The generals began to discuss again, and Zhang Mai suddenly said: "Maybe there is another way of thinking." ”

The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Mai, who now seems to be accustomed to speaking under everyone's gaze: "Looting is a short-term act, and returning to Hebei is a helpless move, and now we still have a choice, of course, we have to take the most promising road." ”

"Brother Mai is saying, let's break through the defense line of Talas Julan City in one breath and aim directly at Shule?"

When you arrive in Shule, you can contact Khotan, and when you arrive in Shule, you will be at the door of China! When you arrive in Shule, a qiē-shaped shì will become more clear!

Yang Yi was naturally excited, not only him, but all the young generals were excited, that was exactly the goal that everyone in the Tang Army dreamed of—but, is this road possible?

"Break through to the south now, in case there is a fortified city in front and a chasing army behind, we will be flanked by the front and rear." Guo Shiyong said.

"No, it's not about breaking through now, it's about eliminating the trouble of chasing soldiers first, and then breaking through!"

"Eliminate the danger of pursuing soldiers?"

"Yes!" Zhang Mai said: "Judging from the confessions of the captives, the Talas side still can't figure out our situation, we are still in the shadows, and the Hui people are in the open, they are still beaten by us in ignorance, we have to take advantage of the fact that they have not come to their senses, eat them one by one, and kill the troops in this area sharply, can't we calmly go south?" ”

Zhang Mai immediately said his plan, and said: "Now that the commander of Talas has committed a taboo in dividing his troops, this is a golden opportunity for us, if this operation is successful, then we will not only have the opportunity to capture Kulan City, but also weaken Talas, and at that time, we will be able to take the initiative in this area." Maybe we'll be able to break through here and advance to Shule. ”

All the young generals heard it, and as usual, Yang Yi was the first to come out in favor.

When Guo Shiyong saw this posture, he knew that he couldn't stop these young people, and said: "If that's the case, then we'd better take the Flying Bear Camp and the Xingwu Camp as well, and the eight battalions will be combined and advance into Julan City, so that the chances of victory will be greater." ”

"No!" Zhang Mai said: "The soldiers are fast! Can't wait for the Flying Bear Camp, or even wait for the Xingwu Camp to come back! If you want to act, you have to do it now! Every day that passes, the chance of the Hui people knowing that we are false and real is three points greater! Now we have to compete with the Hui people for the victory or defeat in this region, and the decisive victory is not the army, but the time! ”

When the generals were discussing in the tent, Ma Xiaochun had already retreated outside the tent to guard the door with Xiaoshi, and the voices of Zhang Mai and others were faintly heard from inside the door, but Ma Xiaochun couldn't hear what was being said inside.

"Little stones."

"Huh?"

"You say, when will we be able to go inside and listen, and even participate in the discussion?"

"I don't know." Xiaoshi doesn't seem to have as many thoughts as Ma Xiaochun: "Anyway, the envoy asked us to stand guard, let's stand guard, if one day he lets us in, then we will go in." ”

Ma Xiaochun smiled, feeling that his fellow countryman was really simple. "If my brother-in-law is willing to serve Envoy Zhang, he will probably be sitting in it by now." Ma Xiaochun thought.

The tent door was suddenly lifted, Murong Chunhua, Tang Renxiao, Yang Sanggan, An Shouye and other deputy lieutenants walked out one by one, their behavior seemed very urgent, not only Guo Shiyong, An Shoujing, Yang Dingbang, Yang Yi The four captain-level figures also walked out quickly, only Zhang Mai, Liu An and Guo Luo were left in the tent, Zhang Xiang beckoned to Ma Xiaochun, let him in, and said: "An Jiu has made a great contribution this time, I think he should be commended, you go and ask him to see if he has any wishes, I hope to satisfy him as much as possible." ”

Ma Xiaochun took the order, and came back after a while to reply for An Jiu: "An Jiu said that he didn't want anything, just said, if you catch the enemy next time, please leave it to him, he hasn't been so happy for a long time." ”

Zhang Mai was stunned when he heard this, and Ma Xiaochun said again: "By the way, An Jiu also said that Ali still has a breath, what does the envoy want him to do?" ”
