Chapter 277: King Qiuzi's Decision
On June 14, the 17th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Anxi army defeated the Three Kingdoms coalition army at Tawakule Lake, and immediately waved the army to camp three miles outside the city of Hotan, neither tightly encircled nor rushed to attack, but only large-scale felling of surrounding forests, the construction of ladders, giant trebuchets and other siege equipment, the whole preparation work was carried out in an orderly manner. The king of Khotan, Fu Yanxiong, sent troops out of the city several times to try to harass the actions of the Tang army, but every time he was ambushed by the Tang army, he lost his troops and lost his generals, and he no longer dared to send troops out of the city to fight, so he could only hold on to the city. Expecting the Tang army to retreat without a fight is like fishing for the moon in water, and there is not the slightest possibility.
Seeing that the preparations for the Tang army's siege were about to be ready, Fu Jiaxiong was worried, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only continue to send envoys to ask for help from all sides, especially for the king of Qiuzi who was in the rear of the Tang army, and made countless promises, however, what made Fu Jiaxiong depressed was: In addition to the neighboring Shule king Namua? Tagan promised to mobilize the whole country to help, the rest of the Western Regions countries did not have any expression, as for the Guizi King's class, the attitude was even more ambiguous, and he had not even met the three messengers for help sent by Fu Jiaxiong, which made Fu Jiaxiong extremely angry, but he was helpless, and he had to be patient and stick to the help, of course, it is indispensable to greet the eighteen/generation ancestors of that class in public, but no, scolding and scolding, the envoys are still in a hurry to send to the Qiuzi country, not only the flying eagle passed the book several times, Even the personal retinue sent out is enough to assemble a team.
Fu Yanxiong was in a hurry, but it gave King Qiuzi's team a headache - he didn't want to fight this battle, he naturally knew the truth in his heart, and he didn't expect Li Zhen to let go of himself for the sake of Princess Mingyue, but the problem was that the class really didn't know how to fight this battle, without him, in that class's original assumption, the Three Kingdoms Alliance would definitely not be Li Zhen's opponent, and defeat was a matter of time, but he didn't expect the Three Kingdoms Alliance to lose so embarrassingly, not to mention that it failed to consume Li Zhen's troops, On the contrary, he lost his own base camp Xicheng, which made the original plan of Bian Zhuang to stab the tiger fall into the void, and what annoyed the class even more was that the three generals under him couldn't pee in a pot at all - these days, in order to fight this battle, Bai Suyahe, Bai Suxin, and a Sha Fei camel were arguing endlessly in front of the palace, and no one would listen to anyone, and they all said very reasonably, so that the class didn't know who to listen to. It made the class dizzy, and the fat cheeks were dripping with sweat, and they couldn't win even if they wiped it with a white silk hard.
“…… The elite of the Tang army is all in Hotan, what if the soldiers and horses of the Shule State gather at this time? If it is really possible to win, the Three Kingdoms Alliance should have won a long time ago, and our army went to die in vain, it is better to surround Wei to save Zhao and force Li Zhenxiaoer to withdraw the army. "Since the fiasco of Tuoxun City, Bai Suxin, who was captured by Tang Junsheng and released back, was dismissed, Bai Suyah waited for many years, and finally climbed to the position of the long-coveted general.
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!" After Bai Suxin was idle for a while, at this time, due to the urgency of the war, he was invited out by the class of King Qiuzi, but he became Bai Suyahe's deputy, and it was natural to be unhappy, so Bai Suyahe said east, he said west as soon as he heard that Bai Suyahe had moved out of the set of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and immediately said unceremoniously: "General Bai said it lightly, hehe, if Li Zhen's army turns back, Fu Yanxiong's old man will be saved, but who will help me defend the city?" Well? If Li Zhen's anger is turned on my turtle, can you afford this responsibility? ”
"Otherwise, if Li Zhen dares to return to the army to attack my Qiuzi, his army will be exhausted at that time, what can he do, if Fu Yanxiong is willing to cooperate, and the front and rear attacks can be wiped out, and the future troubles will be eliminated, even if Fu Yanxiong does not come, our army will not fight, and his soldiers will have to retreat! Could it be that you were scared last time? Bai Suyahe didn't allow Bai Suxin to question his decision-making, and immediately fell back with a sinking face.
"Fart! Er'an dares to despise the old man, come, come, come, pull out his sword, let the old man and Er's fight to see who is afraid of whom! Bai Suxin was most annoyed by others mentioning his fiasco last time, and when he heard Bai Suyahe expose his sore spots, he immediately jumped up and shouted that he wanted to have a duel with Bai Suyahe.
"Enough, make a fuss, the widow is not dead yet, what is the trouble!" Seeing that the main and deputy generals were making a lot of trouble, the class slammed the table in a rage, glared at them, and scolded the generals, and finally calmed the two white generals who were making a lot of noise, and after taking a few breaths, he frowned and looked at Sha Feihu, who was bored and only looked at the map, but never spoke: "General Sha, what do you think about this situation?" ”
"Your Majesty, the last general has already said that it is not advisable to raise the country's troops to Hetian, and it is also fearful of ambush to attack Jiaohe while taking advantage of the situation. Sha Feiluo raised his head and said with a wry smile.
"Nonsense, now that the Tang army in the Guannai has been dispatched, Xicheng has been taken by the Tang army, how can this grain road be broken, our army is broken, and the other end of Xicheng is not on the same as before."
"That's it, your plan is just to sit and wait to be killed, if you really wait for Li Zhen to take Hetian, and look back, wouldn't my turtle be meat on the knife board?"
Yes, don't look at the two white generals who are not convinced by each other, but they are surprisingly consistent in excluding Sha Feiluo, an outsider, and the class has not yet expressed its position, and the two brothers immediately made accusations.
Sha Feiluo since he took refuge in the king of Qiuzi, he has never had a formal position, just hanging an empty name of a general, he is really fed up with the anger of the two white generals, he is not going to speak again in today's discussion, but because of the class asked, he also had to answer, at this time by these two white generals, his heart immediately became angry, when the domineering of the sand thief leader came out again, he rolled up his sleeves and said: "You will only talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty, when will you wait to win the battle, hum, the map can't be understood, I'm embarrassed to open my mouth and blow blindly! ”
"Presumptuous, who is you, dare to teach the old man a lesson?" Bai Suxin's anger had already risen, and when he heard Sha Feiluo's words, he immediately scolded him unrelentingly.
"Yes, if you can really fight, you won't let people even copy the nest at the beginning, and now pretend that the winning general is here, hey, I really don't know where the courage came from." Bai Suach didn't jump up, but he didn't forget to reveal the scars of the flying camel.
"Grandma's, what are you waiting for...... Sha Feiluo listened to the words of the two brothers, his eyes immediately turned red, and he picked up the maza that he was doing under the **, and he was about to do it. ”
In that class, the three brothers were all honest, and they all retreated to the side and stood still, all of them lowered their heads, and they no longer quarreled, but the problem was that the proposal on how to fight this battle was once again inconclusive. Seeing that the situation ahead was changing rapidly, but the fight in his own nest was endless, the anger in the heart of the class was needless to say, and he paced back and forth on the hall with his hands behind his back, and finally barely suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned and glanced at the three generals under him, some of them sighed helplessly, shook their heads, and made a bitter look and said: "There is an old saying among the Han people, the family and everything is prosperous, and the same is true for the country. If it has to be like this, what should this be done for a widow? Alas, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought as soon as possible, Fu Lao'er is so urging, I am afraid that he is really about to be unable to withstand it, if it is ......, alas, how can I survive alone? ”
The class said that it was very painful, but the three brothers didn't talk to each other, and pretended not to hear, and saw that the class was angry, but there was no way to take these three generals, and in a hurry, they couldn't care about the fact that they didn't discuss the matter, and they flicked their sleeves and turned back to the harem angrily.
The matter did not come to a conclusion, but I was angry, and I was depressed, but the problem is that this battle can no longer be dragged on, seeing that the three generals cannot reach an agreement, and the class is not very proficient in military affairs, so in desperation, I had to invite my second brother, the minister of state.
"Brother knock to see Your Majesty." Nari was busy dealing with government affairs, and when he heard that the class was calling, he hurried to come, and when he saw the class with a gloomy face, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted the class.
"Excuse me, excuse me, let's talk about it, what should I do about it?" The class shook his hand impatiently, opened his mouth and asked without a head.
Nali understood what the class was worried about, but because he was worried about the suspicion of the class, Nali had always been concerned about military affairs, and when he heard the class ask, Nali immediately pretended to be confused and said: "Your Majesty, what are you referring to?" ”
"Don't pretend to be stunned with the widow, apart from the current war, what else can you do, say, how to deal with this matter!" The class glanced at Nari angrily and asked anxiously.
That class broke the matter, and Na Li couldn't continue to pretend to be confused, but he was not proficient in military affairs, and he really didn't know how to answer that class's question, but he couldn't help but answer, so he had to frown and think about it: "Your Majesty, our army is good at defending and not attacking, if it is a field battle, I am only afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious, and Tianhe will be dry up every mid-July, if our army rushes to go, once we want to return to the army, I am afraid that it will be next year, and the country will be empty for too long for fear that there will be something wrong, therefore, The younger brother thought that it would not be advisable to wave the army and Tian. ”
"Well, the widow also thinks so, it's ridiculous that Uncle Wang has always been pretentious, but he made such a stupid move, and he really lost the high hopes of the widow!" Although that class doesn't know much about military affairs, they still know about the prosperity and dryness of the Hotan River, and they don't look down on what Bai Suxin said about the whole army going straight to Hetian, but because Bai Suxin is the identity of Uncle Wang, and it is a god that his class deliberately moved out in order to balance Bai Suyahe and Sha Feihuo, it is really not good to refute its absurd claims in public.
That class can openly say that Bai Suxin is wrong, but Nali didn't dare to dwell on this issue, paused for a moment, and then continued: "As far as the ministers know, the Tang army that attacked Xicheng and the Anxi Tang army are not all the way, and they don't seem to have a command relationship with each other. Hetian City is located between the Tang Army of Xicheng and the Tang Army of Anxi, except for passing through the city, the rest are all vast deserts, neither inhabited, nor have nowhere to get water, and the heavy logistics want to pass through it, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult, therefore, the younger brother thinks that unless the Yue Wang Department takes Hetian City, it is unlikely that he wants to get enough grain from the Tang Army in Xicheng. ”
"Huh?" When he heard this, his heart suddenly moved, his eyes immediately widened, and he spun around several times, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and motioned for Nari to continue.
"In addition, according to the report of the middle line of Shaya City, a lot of grain and straw in this city have been transferred to Hotan, and now the grain stock is not much, according to the consumption of the Anxi Tang Army, it is estimated that the front line has been in a state of scarcity, and the Anxi Tang Army wants to get the baggage again, and must start from Gaochang again, if the subordinate brother is not bad, there should be movement in these few days, how to decide, and please show your majesty." At this point, Nari's inclination has been extremely obvious, but he still refuses to say it explicitly, and instead leaves the final decision to Naban, which shows that he is cautious.
That class completely understood Nali's choice, and was very satisfied with his second brother's ability to raise and lift, but he didn't say anything more in front of Nari, but just raised his eyebrows expressionlessly and said, "The widow has a number in his heart, so he should retreat." ”
The class gave an order to expel the guests, Nali didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly bowed and bowed and retreated, and after Nali disappeared, he raised his voice and said: "Come here, please meet General Sha." ”
Sha Feiluo came quite quickly, and the attendant sent to summon him had only arrived for a quarter of an hour or so, but his face was flushed/red, and his mouth was full of wine, obviously he was called while he was drinking. It is said that it is a crime of disrespect to be behind the wine, but not only did the class not have a seizure, but got up and walked to the hall to greet them, and said with a smile on his face: "General Sha, I'm sorry, I disturbed your wine, hehe, in the future, the widow will definitely be a good life to go back to the east, and accompany the general to have a good drink." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, the last general has a heart." Sha Feiluo has never been reused, his heart is very annoyed, he is borrowing wine to kill his sorrows before coming, at this time, he heard that class of words faintly flattering, although his heart is strange, but he did not show it, but he just said a perfunctory sentence without saltiness.
At this time, seeing Sha Feiluo's face was cold, but he didn't care, and he smiled and let Sha Feiluo into the hall, and instructed the waiter to give Sha Feiluo a seat, and after Sha Feiluo sat down, he said apologetically: "General Sha can not miss the glory and wealth, and resolutely return to his homeland, the widow is really admired, but first, the general's previous injuries have not healed, and second, the general is unwilling to take up the post of general, The widow is really not easy to arrange, so that the general has suffered some grievances, and the fault of the widow is also the fault of the widow, and I hope the general will not worry about it. ”
"Your Majesty's words are serious, the last general is His Majesty's minister, and he should act in accordance with His Majesty's orders, but Your Majesty has the place where the last general is useful, and the last general will never give up!" As soon as the class said this, Sha Feiluo couldn't sit still, hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and replied respectfully.
"The general is invited to get up, please get up quickly, the general is the heart of the country, and the few people know it." The class rushed forward, helped the sand flying camel, and said with a smile: "At this time, the war has started, and it is the place where the generals come into play. ”
"There is an order, I dare not disobey, and the last general will be at the disposal of His Majesty." Sha Feiluo's face was solemn and he said respectfully.
"Good, good, good! With the general's words, the widow was relieved. The class stretched out his sleeves with a smile and wiped the sweat on his head, paused for a moment, and then continued: "As far as the widow knows, the second brother of the general is now the logistics transport officer of Anxi, with outstanding ability, and he is also a member of my Guizi country. ”
"This ......" Sha Feiluo was stunned for a moment and said: "My two brothers are now strangers, and it is really difficult to do it if the last general is unwilling to do his best." ”
There was a look of embarrassment on his face and he said, "Oh? I see, alas, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do, widows, alas, widows are in a dilemma. ”
Sha Feiluo was not a nerd, and when he heard this, he didn't know that the class was preparing to do something about the grain road of the Anxi Tang Army, and he also roughly guessed the intention of the class to call himself here, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the country is greater than home, and the last general will not dare to miss the state affairs because of family affection. ”
"Okay, this is the style of a national warrior!" The class slapped his chubby thighs, cocked his thumb, and flattered Sha Feihuo very much, and then continued: "The widow knows that Brother Ling will transport grain from Gaochang to Shaya, is the general willing to stop him for the widow?" ”
"I don't dare to ask for it, Your Majesty can rest assured, the last general will come to see Your Majesty when I capture my brother alive, but it's just ......" Sha Feiluo stopped when he said this, peeked at the face of the class, and stopped talking.
"If the general has any concerns and said that he will come out, let the widow share the worries of the general." The class patted his chest and said with a heroic look.
Sha Feiluo nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the last general should not question His Majesty's decision, but this matter can be big or small, and the last general must know His Majesty's intentions before he can act cheaply, and I also ask Your Majesty to explain the strategy to the last general one or two." ”
The class pondered for a while, glanced at Sha Feiluo meaningfully, and explained with a smile: "Well, let's say so, this king is going to take back the road, as for Shaya City, it is okay to let the Tang army live for a little longer first, the general may wish to contact and contact the Tang army in Shaya City more, contact feelings, as for the future affairs, it is not too late to discuss when Hetian has a turnaround." ”
"Okay, since Your Majesty can trust the last general, the last general will be ordered to do it, but this military affairs must not be ordered to go out of many doors, and the last general can ask for the right to be decided." Sha Feiluo gritted his teeth and said with a resolute face.
"Haha...... okay, the widow is up to you, and the widow is waiting for the general's good news." Seeing that Sha Feihu's behavior was very much in line with his own wishes, the class laughed proudly, and the laughter was full of joy......
