Chapter 31: Late Reinforcements
Bai Congyun didn't care what these people thought of him, he admitted as he was: "I just listened to General Zhenwei's last story, and I heard that his Qin accent sings very well. ”
There was silence in the tent.
Li Xianyue looked in which direction through the camp tent, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw the venerable old general.
After a long time, he said slowly: "He's gone, he's walking well, I like him, I think, Qiu Zhanshen and Father Emperor also like him." ”
"All of us in Datang like him and love him."
Bai Congyun nodded, calming his mood.
Wang Du was still silent, he had not yet been able to digest the martyrdom of General Zhenwei.
Li Xianyue, Bai Congyun, him, and others, when they first received the news of General Zhenwei's defeat and martyrdom, they all fell into a certain atmosphere of grief and grief, and they could not extricate themselves.
The most painful thing in the world is not to live and die together, but that you are gone, I am somewhere else, and then I am alive, and I cannot die easily.
Li Xianyue was also standing at the mouth of the camp just now, and saw those Northern Tang soldiers who came from afar, and he also saw the scene of Bai Congyun talking in the past, so he asked, "How are they?" ”
These four words are very general, there can be many interpretations, and there can be many answers, but under Li Xianyue's place, as well as the current situation in northern Xinjiang, everyone present, including Bai Congyun, who was questioned, knew that there was only one very clear meaning.
So Bai Congyun replied: "They didn't crash into here by luck. ”
He paused and looked at everyone.
"They were brought together, and they came here very definitely, and after a long journey, they succeeded."
"How did they do it?" Wang Du asked first.
In the past, if such a defeat occurred, even if there were Northern Tang soldiers who could break through the blockade of the Tuwu people and come here with difficulty, at most they would be in groups of three or five, one after another, but now everyone has seen it, there are more than 100 people inside, they are lined up in a regular marching formation, not panicked, nor embarrassed, very purposeful, although they lost, but they don't look like the drowning dogs that everyone imagined before.
"Because they have a center," Bai Congyun said, "they firmly believe in that person, and that person has won their respect and obedience from the bottom of their hearts with his strength, and it is because of him that they have returned here unharmed." ”
Everyone else had a look of surprise and suspicion at the same time.
Skepticism is necessary, and in such a long history of fighting wits and courage with other countries in the Northern Tang Dynasty, this word has played a great role.
Wang Du didn't care about other people's vague thoughts at all, whatever he thought, he said whatever he wanted, just like when he couldn't determine Su Yin's life or death, he knelt in front of Li Xianyue's Zhongjun tent with the white frost treasure knife, shouting that he was incompetent, but now he can't die, if Ashina Qin is defeated and the sudden people are disabled, he asks Li Xianyue to cut himself with white frost.
At that time, his shouting appearance was not afraid of being seen by ordinary soldiers, and now his suspicion is also not afraid of chilling the hearts of those people, because that kind of suspicion believes that Tie Shan Wu and the others themselves are also very clear, since it is very clear, wouldn't it be better to say it?
"That person, or one of them, must have been sent by the Sudden Ones?" Wang Du said directly, "I just doubt it, I hope there is no hope, I hope they are all good men of our Datang." ”
Even Chengwu's general Su Yin has committed treason, so it is not an unacceptable thing for any spies among those people.
Compared to Tie Shan Wu, who is not a talent who has not been discovered, the probability of having an abrupt person among them is not necessarily small.
"Send someone to check immediately," Li Xianyue said, "the sooner the better, if they don't have a problem, let the person who brought them back see me, if there is a problem, no mercy!" ”
The war is imminent, what Li Xianyue needs most is a good general, a capable person, and what he is most worried about is also flying into trouble, they can't afford to waste talents, and they can't afford to tolerate traitors or spies.
The investigation has begun, and in the camp, news from Chang'an has arrived.
"General Guanying, with more than 20,000 soldiers from the government and 3,000 Yulin, are on their way." A general said.
"Good coming......" Wang Dukankan said these two words, but suddenly fell silent, and his face became unwilling.
"What's the use, it's too late, when they arrive, Ashinaqin's soldiers and horses have already gathered around......" Bai Congyun sighed softly.
Li Xianyue stood facing the south, and at the same time looked in the direction of Chang'an, and a rare color appeared on his face.
"It's a mess of sand, and it's slow." He said.
"Your Highness......" The generals around him reminded in a whisper.
Everyone knows that he has grievances, he complains about the incompetent things that those incompetent people in the Northern Tang Dynasty did after the death of Guan Qinghe and the departure of Qiu Zhanshen, as well as the speed at which they did things.
It is unspeakable that among those who are incompetent, his father is also included.
He didn't say it, although he was stubborn and uninhibited, it didn't mean that he was stupid, he was willing to do a little more for the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty, instead of being thrown to a new place by His Majesty because of his own reluctance.
"We can resist Ashinaqin's attack," Bai Congyun's words were full of confidence, "We can also resist without flinching until General Guanying and them came to their aid." ”
He's right, as long as they can stop Ashinaqin, then even if the Northern Tang Dynasty's institutions are running slowly now, what does it matter?
Stabilize the defense line and not take a step back, it is Bai Congyun's style, he is stronger than the Great Wall.
Time passed slowly, and they discussed this huge, seemingly eternal place, again and again, studying every detail, such as where we can do what things, where the Tutu people will do what things, and how we will deal with the things that the Tutu people will do......
They kept talking about getting dark, and then one order after another was given, and the deployment of the Northern Tang was constantly changing, trying to become the most perfect.
The news of the investigation came, and there was nothing wrong with the troops of General Zhenwei who had miraculously appeared here.
The generals were gone, and only Li Xianyue himself and the guards who told him the results were left in the camp.
"Let him come to me." Li Xianyue nodded.
The guards only had time to take a step before they heard Li Xianyue's words again: "No, no need. ”
Then Li Xianyue's words surprised him:
"I'd better go see him."
