On the second day of occupying Xiaba'ersi, early in the morning, the five big families all came to the door and begged Tang Jun to accept it.

This is the result of last night's banquet, looking at the five donation sheets, Zhang Mai smiled happily, and educated Xiaoshi and said: "See, our China is a country of etiquette, do things, be as peaceful as possible, use etiquette without soldiers, and treat guests to dinner to solve things, so you don't need to be rude." Although the merchants of this Ba'er Si have nothing to do with us, we used etiquette to advise them, and they all accepted it, and donated military food and grass to us, and they became our friends after eating a meal. Both sides are harmonious, how good is this way of doing things! ”

Xiao Shi and the others were deeply accepting and nodded again and again.

Yang Dingbang secretly said to Liu An: "Our envoy Zhang, he is so thick-skinned, these descendants will learn from him after listening to his words, and in the future, we will only be afraid of ...... of the Tang Army."

Zhang Mai's ears were pricked up and he asked, "What are you talking about me?" ”

Liu An coughed and said, "Captain Yang said that the envoy's move is very ancient. The ancients said: The use of etiquette, harmony is precious, and the way of the ancestors is beautiful. The envoy made this move, got money and food without fighting, and made friends, which has the style of the ancient holy king. ”

Xiaoshi had no culture, and whispered to Ma Xiaochun: "What did Liu Sima say?" Ma Xiaochun said: "Liu Sima said that Special Envoy Zhang really had a way, and he squeezed the oil and water that this chin could squeeze out without being rough for one night. This is very much in line with the style of our ancestors. ”

Xiao Shi sighed and said, "Our ancestors are also like this." ”

"This ......" Ma Xiaochun scratched his head: "I don't read much, since Liu Sima said so, it should be." ”

On the third day, the three martial arts battalions led by Guo Shiyong arrived one after another, stationed in Ja Ersi, and at this time, An Shoujing had already sent people to put the money, food, and materials extorted by Zhang Mai on horseback and camels, ready to withdraw at any time. Guo Luo freed the hundreds of slaves, more than 300 of whom voluntarily joined under the mobilization of the Tang army, and Guo Luo organized them into a logistics team responsible for driving horses and transporting them.

After Guo Shiyong arrived, he saw that the scale of this jaw was similar to that of the new Broken Leaf City, and he felt homesick, and sighed: "Our new broken leaf was burned by Envoy Zhang, although this city is small, the water and soil are also good, and the climate is much better than that of the new Broken Leaf City. He thought to himself that with the diligence of the Tang Army, he could live a life after working hard after being stationed here.

Yang Yi and the other young people saw him like this, and secretly sneered, but it was not easy to show his face. Even Zhang Mai felt in his heart that Guo Shiyong's words were too ambitious.

"Don't think nonsense." Yang Dingbang said: "Although the water and soil weather here is better than that of the new broken leaves, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no natural danger, so it cannot be defended." ”

Guo Shiyong smiled and said: "It's not that I don't know this, it's just that I'm a little tired from walking, and I really want to have a place to settle." Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk about it! ”

The soldiers of the seventh battalion were stationed in Xiaba'er Si to recuperate, Guo Luo trained the more than 300 logistics teams in the city, Guo Shiyong arranged for the Zhenwu battalion to be stationed in the suburbs of the eastern city to prevent the enemy in the direction of Talas, and arranged for the Guangwu battalion to be stationed in the suburbs of the west city to prevent the enemy in the direction of Kulan City.

After Liu An left the military rations needed by the soldiers of the seventh battalion, he ordered the Xingwu operation to send some of the grain and grass back to the valley, Zhang Mai saw that he planned to transport back only 500 bags of wheat, and said: "Just this little thing, it is not worth a special trip to the Xingwu camp." It's better to wait, look at the shape shì, and when we go back to the valley, we will escort it back together. ”

Liu An said: "Special envoy, even if there are only 100 bags of wheat, I think it should be transported back." ”

"Why is that?"

Liu An said: "Dengxia Valley is a dead valley with nothing, although there is water, but if there is no foreign grain and grass to help, it can be said that you can't stay for a day." Thousands of people from my Flying Bear Battalion, the Wuhu Department, and the Civil Department stayed inside, and they didn't say anything in their mouths, but they were actually not sure in their hearts. These 500 bags of wheat were only a small supplement for thousands of people, but they gave everyone hope that we had achieved victory, even if it was only a small victory, it was enough for them to get a little hope and more confidence. ”

Zhang Mai suddenly realized, and admired Liu An's thoughtfulness: "Liu Sima, you still think thoughtfully!" ”

Zhong Min immediately set off and carried wheat into the desert with a camel. Zhang Mai said to Guo Luo again: "This Nershahi family is extraordinary, I heard that they have business in Shule and Talas, they must be well-informed, and they must have a lot of information in their stomachs, but they haven't made friends with us yet, so they don't want to take the initiative to confide, I think it's best to 'invite' one or two important members of their family to join the army, what do you think?" Guo Luo said: "Good idea! I'll do it. ”

The old Nershahi was in the city, but he seemed to be able to smell the movements of the Tang Army with his nose, and said to his son: "The actions of this group of people in Dengshang City are very strange, not like ordinary robbers." ”

At this moment, there was an urgent report from the west of the city, the bell came all the way, it seemed very urgent, Zhang Mai was discussing with Guo Luo whether the three hundred slaves who had just been attached and the surrendered native soldiers could be reformed, Guo Shiyong had already sent someone to ask: "Special envoy, Captain Guo has an invitation, there is an urgent matter to discuss." ”

"What's the matter?"

The person who came lowered his voice, but the answer made Zhang Mai and Guo Luo feel awe-inspiring in their hearts: "Talas have sent troops over there!" ”

"Talas sent troops? It's coming so fast! ”

When Zhang Mai and Guo Luo arrived at the Lais Mansion, the main generals such as the commanders and deputy captains of the battalions had already arrived. After Zhang Mai sat down, he asked: "It has only been five days since we captured the city, and when we captured the city, no one escaped to report the news, and there is no beacon tower like Yibohai here, why did the people of Talas send troops after receiving the news so quickly?" ”

Guo Shiyong said: "The news is from Xi Sheng, he hid ten miles outside Talas City, and saw two armies and horses driving out from the direction of Talas, both with thousands of people, respectively towards Julan City and Ja Ersi. When Xi Sheng saw this, he immediately sent dark horsemen to report the news day and night, and the messenger would come faster than the march, but this place was too close to Talas after all, and it was calculated that the enemy army would arrive near it by tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Up and down a thousand?" Yang Yi shouted: "What are you afraid of them!" ”

Guo Shiyong said: "Xi Sheng sent someone to report after seeing it, this news may not be very accurate and comprehensive, and even if the first army is only 1,000 people, we have to guard against these people who are just outposts, and there is a large army behind." In addition, there is another thing to worry about, we sent false news to Talas and Kulan City this time, saying that we will attack Kulan City, and according to Qiu Ziqian, who was sent to Kulan City, Kulan City has strengthened its precautions - this reaction is correct. But how could Talas send two troops at the same time, and one of them should think about the chin? I'm afraid there's something strange here. We are here to raise money and food, and the second is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is better to avoid it. ”

Guo Luo said: "That's not the case, money, food and intelligence are important, but the morale of the army is equally important." Leaving without a fight is suspected of cowardice. If we hear that an enemy is in the vicinity and take refuge regardless of the strength of the opponent, then the range of activities we can move around will inevitably become narrower and narrower. I think we might as well have a fight. ”

When he said this, Yang Yi naturally supported: "Yes! Only a thousand people are still not fighting, so what are you waiting for! Although the chin is light, the little thing in hand is not enough for our team to eat for a month, let alone bring back to Dengxia Valley to make military funds for thousands of people to return to the east! We have to fight guerrillas, to feed the war with war, and this is just the beginning, not to take down the chin and think about it! On the way back to the east, we can't always meet a soft persimmon like Chin Ersi, we must fight a tough battle, today we don't even dare to fight the enemy with fewer troops than us, how to climb the green ridge tomorrow? How to get to Shule? How to get back to the Central Plains? ”

Guo Shiyong didn't speak, and he didn't insist on his "retreat" mentions.

Seeing this, Zhang Mai knew that all the generals had the heart to fight, and then Yang Yi's words said: "Ah Yi is right, our goal is not to think about the chin, this is just a magic!" Our goal should be Shule! It is Dunhuang, and it is Chang'an behind countless dangers! ”

Although Guo Shiyong, Yang Dingbang, and An Shoujing are all middle-aged, Yang Yi and Murong Chunhua and several other deputy lieutenants are all young people in their twenties and thirties. If the Talas side only send a detachment to come, no matter what their purpose is, it will be a good opportunity for us to surround the point and send reinforcements? ”

Zhang Mai's gaze swept from Yang Dingbang, An Shoujing, Guo Luo, Yang Yi, etc., and finally looked at Guo Shiyong and said, "Then the matter is decided!" Beat! Intercept this Hui army for me, and it's best to annihilate them all! ”

Next, they discussed how to fight, and Yang Sang said: "Then should we fight a defensive battle, first consume the opponent's troops and then attack, or will we use a field battle to decide the winner at the beginning?" ”

Yang Yi sneered: "We have a lot of soldiers, but the other party has few soldiers, what kind of city are we guarding?" Field battles, of course! ”

Murong Chunhua said: "I have an idea, there are two earth mountains in the land of two arrows west of the city, and the road to Talas extends between these two earth mountains. The shape of the north mountain is rounder, the shape is like a steamed bun, short and larger, the slope is gentle, the shrubs on the slope are dense, you can bow the crossbowmen, the south mountain is like a screen, the slope is steep, there is no grass, but the mountain can also ambush the soldiers, it is better for us to ambush four battalions behind the south mountain, but ambush the crossbowmen on the north mountain, wait for the Talas military horse to come, and let him come, when it is halfway, the arrows and crossbows on the mountain are fired together, and at the same time the military horse behind the slope is driven out at the same time, if the enemy is chaotic, the two battalions will rush straight forward, mess with its military situation, and the two battalions will intercept it, in order to annihilate the enemy. If the enemy's position is tight, the four battalions of troops and horses will be combined and attack together in order to break the enemy and win. In this arrangement, if the enemy really only has about 1,000 people, then there is a 50% chance of a complete victory and a 70% chance of a big victory. ”

Zhang Mai hadn't looked at the two hillsides, looked at Guo Shiyong and asked him for advice, Guo Shiyong said: "Good strategy!" If the opponent only has 1,000 people, then the Longxiang battalion can stay in the city and not move, if there is a flash in the ambush outside the city, the soldiers and horses in the city can also defend and respond, which is a foolproof strategy. ”

Zhang Mai said: "The strategy that even Uncle Yong approves of is expected to work." Okay, that's it. ”

That night, the battalions were strong soldiers and horses, and the second day went out of the city in batches, An Shoujing led the crossbowmen to ambush on Mantou Mountain, and the four battalions of Yingyang, Baotao, Zhenwu, and Guangwu were ambushed behind Pingfeng Mountain, and the soldiers and horses outside the city were under the overall command of Guo Shiyong, and the Longxiang battalion lived in the city without moving, and still re-erected the banner of the Hui people.

Guo Luo ordered the city gate to be opened, Murong Chunhua was thoughtful, and sent more than 20 soldiers to graze sheep outside the city, Zhang Mai saw it, and said with a smile: "Murong Chunhua is also a person full of ghost ideas." Ma Xiaochun also organized a group of alert soldiers, pretending to be porters and firewoodmen, or doing business inside and outside the city gate, or picking firewood and other things in and out, Ma Xiaochun himself pretended to be a peasant woman, pretending to sell with a sharp voice, and sold vegetables at the foot of the city wall. Zhang Mai couldn't help but smile when he saw him doing so seriously, and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion all snickered when they saw it.

The little stone stood at the head of the city and looked down, but saw a peaceful scene outside the city, if you only look at this appearance, who can guess that there is a murderous motive hidden in this peace?

But after this day, there was no Talas soldiers and horses coming from left and right, Yang Yi was a little impatient, and Zhang Mai was also a little worried about whether there was another change. The soldiers of the fifth battalion did not return to the city that night, but gnawed dry food outside the city and waited for the day.

The next day, I waited for half a day, and by noon Zhang Mai was a little tired, leaning on the closing eyes of the city, Xiaoshi had been holding his binoculars to look around, and suddenly a voice patted Zhang Mai: "Envoy, here, here!" ”
