On the ancient battlefield, three days later, An Lushan received a letter, the content was very simple, it was written to him by An Qingxu, that is, Yang Guozhong agreed to take action. An Lushan looked at the letter and laughed: "Great! This old guy has finally figured it out, a few of you are ready, and two days later you will start a general attack and take Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop! ”

The reason why An Lushan didn't spread the news now was to prevent this matter from reaching the ears of the Xuanjia Army and causing unnecessary trouble. As for the Eight King Kongs beside him, although Dugu Wenshu and Sha Qibo are still recuperating from their injuries, it does not have a big impact on them overall, and they have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and it depends on whether they can make a name for themselves or not.

After the group left from An Lushan's camp, Ling Hushu walked to General Cao's side alone and whispered: "What do you think about the fact that the Shence Army is willing to take action?" ”

"Huh? It doesn't matter to me whether they want to do it or not, I just need to do my job, what, what's the problem? ”

Ling Husheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just mention it casually, but with their help, you can quickly attack the Central Plains." It is said that in addition to the Xuanjia Army, Datang also has a Tiance Mansion, they are the last barrier of Datang, it seems that they will be able to meet them soon, I am looking forward to it. ”

When Ling Hu said these words, he kept staring at General Cao's reaction, and he found that when he mentioned Tiance Mansion, General Cao had some subtle movements. And the latter was full of indifference, and said: "Whether it is the Xuanjia Army or the Tiance Mansion, as long as it is to stop the king, it is an enemy, and it must be faced, if you have nothing to do, I will go back first." ”

"Hey, don't worry, I'm actually here to drink with you, it's not interesting to drink with a few of them, I still like to drink and chat with you the most. Anyway, I've known each other for so long, and I haven't seen you take off your mask, why? Why don't you take off your mask and let me see? ”

Ling Hu was about to stretch out his hand, but was slapped directly by General Cao: "There are some things that I don't want to, and no one can force me, even the king has never asked me to take off my mask." ”

"Okay, okay, forget it if you don't want to, don't be so angry, let's go, drink." To be honest, although General Cao and Ling Hu have known each other for a long time, he doesn't know Ling Hu Shu at all, just like the other party doesn't know him, and he has never seen Ling Hu Shen so enthusiastic about anyone, so he is still a little wary.

And at this moment in the wolf's tooth camp, Xu Wendao was discussing the battle layout with An Lushan, looking at the sand table in front of him, Xu Wendao pointed to the location of Yanmen Pass with a small bamboo stick, and said: "King, in the general attack in two days, our eyes should still be mainly on Yanmen Pass, but at Dongcheng Pass and Yanta Tower, we must also send people to attack at the same time." If they abandon Dongcheng Pass, then their northern reinforcement army will go around to our rear, or surprise our camp. ”

"And the Wild Goose Pagoda is the strongest strategic place in Yanmen Pass, where there is the strongest strong crossbow arrow array in the Tang Dynasty, including siege equipment, etc., so we have to send a certain amount of troops to control these strong crossbows at the Wild Goose Tower. As for the strategy of Yanmen Pass, I'm afraid it depends on the generals and those soldiers, and the other is the strategy of the Shence Army, but it must not go wrong. ”

An Lushan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yang Guozhong has the courage to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, but he definitely doesn't have the courage to deceive me, because he knows the price he will pay." As for what you said, just go and hand over to the generals, let General Cao go to Dongcheng Pass, and as for the Wild Goose Pagoda, just send the wounded soldiers and generals who have no merit before, just have a lot of people. ”

"It's... My lord, it seems that there is something wrong with this arrangement, let the wounded soldiers go to their deaths, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

An Lushan looked at Xu and asked, and snorted coldly: "Since they have joined the Wolf Tooth Army, their lives are mine, if I let them die, they must die, so it's decided, let's arrange it." Xu asked what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to speak again, so he could only leave first, but he didn't agree with An Lushan's arrangement, this is a moment that can be said to be a decisive battle, and letting the wounded soldiers fight will damage morale.

Xu Wendao came to the front of the camp, looked at the soldiers who were already ready to go, and said: "The king has an order, we will raise troops to attack Yanmen Pass in the near future, this time, no matter the military rank, no matter what the background, you can participate in the battle." Moreover, the king is merciful, and specially orders the brothers who were injured and recuperating before to also participate in the war, as long as they take the Yanmen Pass, everyone will be rewarded for their merits. ”

Hearing the news, almost all the soldiers cheered, but there were still some people who had a heart and asked: "Master Xu, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to let the wounded soldiers fight, right?" This is undoubtedly for them to go to death and attack Yanmen Pass, it is enough for us people, why let the injured brother go? ”

"You don't know, this can be regarded as the final decisive battle of our attack on Yanmen Pass, if they can't participate in the battle, then the previous efforts will be in vain, and they won't get any reward. But the decisive battle is different, as long as you can capture Yanmen Pass, everyone can be rewarded, what do you think, what is important? And this is the king's gift, do you want to disobey the king's will? ”

Xu asked very clearly, ordinary soldiers do not dare to ask such questions, basically the generals of various departments have this question, although he does not want to deceive his brother, but at the moment of the decisive battle, he has no choice. Hearing Xu Wendao say this, the others didn't dare to say more, so they could only go down separately to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

Thirty miles southwest of Yanmen Pass, in the camp of the Shence Army, the garrison general Liao Jifan received a secret letter from Chang'an City, but when he opened the secret letter, he was surprised and stunned. It took a long time to react, so he read the secret letter again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he hurriedly called his adviser and friend and said to him.

"This time there is going to be a big incident, Xiangguo sent me a secret letter, asking me to cooperate with the Wolf Tooth Army in two days to attack Yanmen Pass, how is this good?"

"What! Yanmen Pass is the first barrier of Datang, if Yanmen Pass is broken, the fate of the entire Datang is immeasurable, why did Xiangguo do this, could it be that he also wanted to... Rebelling against the Tang Dynasty? ”

Liao Jifan hurriedly made a "shhh Do we really want to attack Yanmen Pass, if we fail, then we will definitely become outcasts and will definitely die. ”
