In the coalition army composed of dozens of tribes of Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, the steppe men who speak various dialects are extremely bored in the absence of a fight, not to mention the bumps and bumps between each other, it is not a rare scene for warriors from different tribes to fight with each other because of trivial matters, and how can it be a commotion, but today it is strange, The barracks for more than ten miles of the company camp were as quiet as a ghost domain, and most of the more than 200,000 people were huddled in their respective tents, not even daring to take an extra breath of the atmosphere, and the occasional scream of the beheaded person before death made the soldiers in the battalion even more silent, no matter how bold the person was, he did not dare to speak rashly at this time, only an angry roar continued to roar in the sky above the barracks. Who is so powerful? Obviously, except for the commander of the allied forces of the two countries, Prince Xue Yantuo, there is no one else!

Anger, the anger of detachment, the anger in the rage is like a wounded bear in the Chinese army tent jumping feet and scolding, although he has killed several low-level generals who are not long-eyed, but he still can't calm the raging anger in his chest, and a series of violent curses can't be relieved/vent the boredom in his chest - at this time, the eyes of the bazing and angry eyes are full of bloodshots, the tendons of the naked/naked upper body are bursting up, the green tendons on the forehead are constantly agitating, and the whole person is turning back and forth in the big tent like crazy, The sound of scolding in his mouth continued, and the noble generals standing below were all frightened by the scorching anger, even the noble generals such as the left army governor Arutai and the right army governor Sai Na Thorn did not dare to speak out to persuade them, as for the other commanders and chiefs of the various departments were even more frightened and trembled, but no one dared to move, lest the monstrous anger of the bacao fall on their own heads.

The reason why he has been in a stalemate with Li Zhen, the king of Yue, on the front line of the Qingshui River for nearly a month, is not that he is afraid of Li Zhen's bravery, in fact, he is waiting for news, waiting for the news that Li Zhen's grain road has gone wrong, but the news he is waiting for is the bad news that his own grain road has been cut off - on April 23, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the Qarlu tribe rebelled in the Altai Mountains and robbed and killed the Xue Yantuo grain transport team through Hongshanzui, Completely cut off the two Altai mountain passes of Hongshanzui and Takshiken, and before Bazhuo decided whether to divide his troops to go back and sweep the Qarluqs, bad news has come one after another - on April 23, the 18th year of Zhenguan, more than 50,000 troops of Kangguo, Anguo, and Cao Tong attacked the Chu River Plain, and on April 28, the old Western Turkic camp surrendered without a fight, and the direction of the Chu River, which originally supplied part of the military supplies, was also completely cut off. Today, all the grain routes controlled by the Bazhuo Department have been cut off, and the remaining two Altai Mountain passes, Ulastai and Lao Ye Temple, are in the hands of Dadushe, who is in harmony with Bazhuo, although the grain in the logistics transit camp on the front line of the Ulungu River is still enough to support the needs of the army of Bazhuo for nearly a month and a half, but it is an indisputable fact that the military rations are unsustainable, and what makes Bazhuo even more angry is that he originally gave Bazhuo the idea and advocated a stalemate with the Tang army first. As for Dadushe himself, regardless of the repeated requisitions, not only did he not lead his troops to join his main force, but on the pretext that the defeat of the Wuyanda Department on the Santang Lake side would lead to the emptiness of strategic points such as Chabulin Tol, in order to prevent the Tang army from taking the opportunity to invade the Xueyantuo Khanate, he led his troops to retreat from the Ulungu River military camp to the vicinity of the Ulastai Pass without authorization.

"Bastard, damn slave baby, unfamiliar dog thief......" Bazhuo cursed angrily, his face distorted to hideous and terrifying - although Bazhuo has not fought a big battle very seriously, he is not a fool, he has read a few military books, and now in such a field, how can he not know that his army has fallen into an extreme crisis, and he also knows that the cut off of his own grain route is definitely from the deployment of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, at the moment, not to mention that Li Zhen in front of him is difficult to deal with, even the generosity of the back-eyeing also makes Bazhuo annoyed, He was already an irascible person, but once he had an attack, it was not surprising that he was completely out of control, and he was only unlucky to those generals who died unjustly under the burning anger.

"You bunch of waste, say, what is the use of Lao Tzu, waste, all waste, waste!" Ba Zhuo pointed at the group of stunned generals, a series of stinking scolding blurted out, and the pro-noble generals who were trained to be full of big tents all did not dare to meet the fierce light of Ba Zhuo's selection and devouring, without him, the chiefs of the previous small tribes did not understand Ba Zhuo's temperament, and were anxious to come out and want to pat the horse's ass, but they didn't expect the horse's fart to be filmed, but became a ghost of unjust death. After all, your own life is at stake, and a few scoldings are indispensable for a single hair, so you can just pluck and scold them.

"Arutai!" After scolding angrily for nearly half an hour, he finally subsided a lot, panting and glancing at the generals under his tent, he suddenly raised his voice, and almost called the name of Arutai, the governor of the left army.

"The end will be." As soon as Arutai heard Bazhuo's name, he came out of the column unhurriedly, bowed very respectfully, saluted with his hands in fists, and answered, his face was very calm, and he was not intimidated by Bazhuo's previous anger at all. Second, Arutai is a staunch supporter of Bazhuo, the reason why Bazhuo was able to kill his brother and seize power this time is all due to Arutai's strong support behind him, and his status in Bazhuo's mind is not comparable to other generals, besides, Arutai is very understanding of Bazhuo's temperament, as soon as he sees that he is no longer turning in circles, he already knows that the anger in his chest has almost been vented/vented, and it is time to discuss the right thing, so he is not so worried that he will suffer from the fish in the pond.

"Tell me, how do you deal with this situation now, huh?" After staring at Arutai for a long time, his face finally eased slightly, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and he asked with uncertainty.

"There will be a plan to deal with it." Arutai obviously knew that Bazhuo would ask this question, and replied unhurriedly, but he didn't continue, but gave Bazhuo a look.

"Well, let's all stand down!" Although Ba Zhuo is irritable, but he likes to play conspiracy, he really has a hand in observing his face, when he saw Arutai doing this, he knew that Arutai wanted to talk to himself in private, so he nodded knowingly, waved his hand, and drove all the generals under the tent out, although a group of generals who had been suffering for more than half an hour under the anger of Ba Zhuo, although they were dissatisfied with Arutai's practice of looking down on people, but they didn't want to suffer more of the sin of Ba Zhuo, at this time, when they heard Ba Zhuo's words to drive people away, they couldn't ask for it, and they all responded to their orders. They scattered almost as if they were fleeing.

"Uncle Wang, the situation is ...... now, alas!" The anger of Ba Zhuo was completely gone, but the worry came up, and as soon as the generals retreated, Ba Zhuo immediately shook his head and sighed with a bitter face.

Seeing Bazhuo's bear-like appearance, Arutai was a little angry - Arutai has fought a lifetime of battles, and his rich war experience is second to none in the Xueyantuo Khanate, when Bazhuo wanted to send troops to the northern frontier, Arutai had already persuaded him, but Bazhuo insisted on going his own way, and when he arrived at the Qingshui River, Arutai persuaded Bazhuo to take advantage of the Tang army's unstable foothold to fight with all his might, or he could win a big victory, but Bazhuo believed Hameri's nonsense - Shizi Dadu had already set up a surprise army, and he could definitely cut off the Tang army's grain route, What do you say that it is better to wait for Dadu to set up troops to come to rendezvous, and then completely defeat the Tang army with the momentum of Wanjun, but now the result has become a fork in his own grain road, and the sworn Hameri has fled, so all this really makes Arutai feel crazy, and he can't wait to say that he will be scolded by Bazhuo, but he is just thinking about it in his heart, and he is still a little afraid of Bazhuo's ruthless means in the power struggle. I had to hold back the boredom in my heart, and said slowly: "Your Highness, now the war is unfavorable, only the slow withdrawal of the army is the best policy, if we can reach an agreement with the King of Yue, we can return to the division safely, first get rid of the internal troubles, and then Xu Mou Jintu, I hope His Royal Highness will think twice." ”

Although Arutai didn't say who the internal trouble was, he knew that he was referring to Dadushe, and when he thought of Dadu's Yang and Yin, Bazhuo gritted his teeth with hatred, snorted coldly, and paced back and forth in the big tent for a few steps, which can be regarded as suppressing the hatred in his heart, and looked at Arutai and said: "Uncle Wang's words are reasonable, but, well, it's just that Li Zhen'er is afraid that he is not so easy to get along with, if he takes advantage of the situation to pursue, how should this be?" ”

Arutai is not sure whether Li Zhen will agree to his request for peace, but at the moment, if Li Zhen really bites his own side one by one, it is not easy for this soldier to withdraw, and he is really afraid of Li Zhen's veteran of using soldiers, Arutai is really afraid of it, if it is possible, Arutai is absolutely unwilling to fight with Li Zhen, of course, Arutai also knows that Li Zhen is very ambitious, just seeing that he has only been in the Western Regions for two and a half years, he has made such a big move, and he knows that once Li Zhen annexes the Western Turkic Khanate, The next spearhead is afraid that it will be aimed at Xue Yantuo, and it is precisely because of this that Arutai previously persuaded Bazhuo not to rush to send troops, and first get rid of Dadu's internal troubles and then send troops, but it is a pity that he is eager to make contributions, and secondly, Dadu is unwilling to go to the Khan's court to report on his work, and he has a heavy army, which is not easy to pacify, and Arutai can't do anything about it. If you can't do it, think about the rest. ”

"Oh?" Bazhuo tilted his head, squinted at Arutai for a while, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Uncle Wang's loyalty is commendable, but Uncle Wang went to the Tang camp to be inappropriate, so it's good, send someone to deliver the letter, and the governor will go to meet Li Zhen." ”

"Oh, no, never!" When Arutai heard that Bazhuo was going to meet Li Zhen in person, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, this governor is not going to Tang Ying, he just invited Li Zhen to talk before the battle, and there is nothing to do with the national teacher." Seeing that Arutai was frightened, Bazhuo said disapprerovingly.

"This ......" Arutai knew that the national teacher's martial arts were unrivaled in the entire Xue Yantuo Khanate, but he was still a little worried about Bazhuo's safety, after all, Li Zhen's bravery was famous all over the world, and after hesitating for a while, he saw that Bazhuo did not have the slightest compromise, so he had to nod his head and said: "The last general will arrange someone to deliver the letter, and Your Highness please be careful." ”

"Well, Uncle Wang, please rest assured, this governor knows how to deal with it." Ba Zhuo waved his hand confidently, and there was already a hint of impatience in his tone, Arutai didn't dare to persuade again, saluted respectfully, strode out of the Chinese army's big tent, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.

Seeing the back of Arutai striding away, Bazhuo reached out and patted his naked/naked chest, smiled with satisfaction, and raised his voice: "Someone, please let the national teacher enter the account!" As soon as the words fell, he shook his hand and disappeared into the back tent......

The same military camp, compared to the gloomy face of Xue Yantuo's side, the Tang army camp is a group of vigorous tigers, although the weather is very hot, but the soldiers of the army are still busy, even those Ashina Thero's subordinate soldiers are no exception, all of them are busy preparing for war, without him, the order to fight has already been issued, and when he sees the sky, he will forcibly cross the Qingshui River that has entered the dry period in advance due to the drought, and launch an attack on the Xue Yantuo camp on the north bank, the army has been waiting for nearly a month The war is about to start, and the great opportunity for meritorious service is in front of you, How could I not help but make the blood of the whole army boiling, so the whole army camp was full of commotion, so lively, only the big tent of the Chinese army where Li Zhen was located was silent, of course, Li Zhen himself was not idle, at this time he was squatting in front of the sand table and pondering, and the entire battle plan that had passed countless times was carefully lived again to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired.

"Your Highness, Xue Yantuo has sent a messenger to ask His Highness for instructions." Just when Li Zhen was thinking about it, Yingda slowly entered from outside the tent and reported loudly.

"Oh?" Li Zhen raised his head from the sand table, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak immediately, but estimated the intention of Bazhuo to send someone to deliver the letter at this time, without him, as early as the end of last year, Li Zhen planned the entire strategy of the northern Xinjiang operation, although it really came to the implementation of all kinds of unexpected situations, but the general strategic ideas were basically realized, and now Mo Li, Liu Qi, Amoti and other places have succeeded one by one, the fighter has matured, Li Zhen will no longer be polite to Bazhuo, This time, he was preparing to take advantage of Xue Yantuo's low morale to defeat this strong enemy in one fell swoop, but he did not intend to annihilate Bazhuo, but planned to force his defeated army to retreat in the direction of the Ulastai Pass, so that Dadu and the Bazhuo brothers could go back to the country to fight and play, and after the Xue Yantuo Khanate was also like the Western Turks, they would wave their troops into the Xue Yantuo Khanate and finish their work.

The reason why Li Zhen did not plan to completely annihilate the Bazhuo Department in this northern Xinjiang has several considerations: First, Li Zhen's own strength is not enough to leave all the Xue Yantuo military horses that invaded the northern Xinjiang, once the Bazhuo Department is annihilated, Dadu will inevitably take advantage of the situation to slip away, and the magnanimity will be far higher than the strategic ability of Bazhuo, once he reorganizes Xue Yantuo's departments, he will immediately become a strong opponent of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to let Bazhuo and Dadu set up brothers to continue to make trouble; Second, even if this battle can completely annihilate the invading Xue Yantuo army, Li Zhen at this time is not able to cross the Altai Mountains to subdue the Xue Yantuo Khanate, not only in terms of grain and grass, but more importantly, the newly conquered northern Xinjiang must be re-planned and governed, without a stable rear, if the whole army is caught in the Xue Yantuo Khanate, in case there is a big mess in the future, then the fun will be great, and the original stable Anxi will fall into chaos again, and this is the consequence that Li Zhen absolutely does not want to see; Third, the dynamics in the Beijing division also involve Li Zhen's thoughts, as far as the current strange situation in the Beijing division is concerned, it is already a mountain rain that is about to come and smoke the building, and before he finds out his old man's hole cards, Li Zhen really doesn't want to start another war, especially against Xue Yantuo and other vast nomadic countries, if you want to really conquer the grassland one by one, it is not something that can be done by fighting alone, at this time of change, Li Zhen has neither the ability nor the intention to do such things that are beyond her own ability.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Li Zhen only intends to defeat Ba Zhuo's department, but he does not plan to kill them all, of course, in order to achieve a balance between the strength of Ba Zhuo and Da Du She, this battle is still inevitable, it is just a matter of what degree of fighting, and now the war is about to start, Ba Zhuo, who has never sent anyone to contact in recent months, suddenly sent a messenger to come, and what his intention is, Li Zhen can't help but think about it.

What does Bazhuo want to do? The next war book? Sue for peace? Or do you want to listen to the truth and the truth? The calculations here are very different, on the occasion of the all-arms war, Li Zhen does not want to have the slightest possibility of leaking military information, but if there are envoys to visit, if they are not received, first, this is a faux pas, and second, there must be an explanation for losing their own morale, right? Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while before he spoke: "Eagle Great, go and bring the envoy in." ”

"Yes." Ying Da didn't ask much, replied respectfully, and strode out of the Chinese army's big tent, and after a while, he led a general Xue Yantuo dressed in the costume of a thousand households into the Chinese army's big tent.

"Foreign Minister Lu Guha knocked to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue, most of the governors of my family have a letter here, please take a look at Your Highness." The general Xue Yantuo knew etiquette very well, and as soon as he saw Li Zhen, who was sitting at the head of the big tent of the Chinese army, he immediately rushed forward, nodded to the ground on one knee, held a letter in both hands, held it high above his head, and reported it very respectfully.

Li Zhen waved his hand expressionlessly, and Ying Cheng stepped forward intentionally, took the letter in Lu Guha's hand, and handed it to Li Zhen with both hands. Li Zhen opened the letter casually, and saw that there was a blank paper full of words inside, and there were a lot of contents, but in addition to those polite compliments, the only useful sentence was one sentence - tomorrow when the time is right, Qingshui River for a while, each side is limited to one guard.

Well? What tricks does the child play? A pre-war meeting? It's really like war is a child's play, it's interesting! Li Zhen read the letter at a glance and ten lines, and was really made a little crying and laughing by the child's play, frowned and thought about it, and didn't bother to reply to the letter, picked up the brush on the desk, dipped it in ink, and directly wrote the word "quasi" on the letter, and as soon as he lost it, the letter fell into Lu Guha's arms.

"Sending off!" Li Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with a small head of a thousand households, raised his hand, and said coldly, and his own Ying Da and other personal guards stepped forward and invited Lu Guha out of the big tent of the Chinese army......
