The moonlight is like a hook, and the wind is cold.

In the military tent of the Turkic camp, the bonfire was blazing, warm as spring, and the roast sheep on the fire was even more sizzling, and the aroma was permeating, and a group of people sat around and drank wine, excited.

It was the Turkic Khan who was the leader, smiling so much that his eyes were lost in the city, picking up the wine bag and holding it high, and shouting in high spirits: "Everyone, the Anbei Protectorate is the pride of the Tang people, and it is indeed the shame of my Turks, fortunately, in the daytime battle, the soldiers used their lives and successfully won, this battle should be recorded in the annals of my Turkic history, you are indispensable, come, drink!" ”

"Xie Khan!" The crowd shouted for joy.

Winning the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is not only an honor, but also has countless wealth, and it is difficult to be unhappy.

A bearded general wiped his mouth, shouted happily, and said: "Khan, it is a pity that most of the Tang army ran away in the first battle during the day, and after dawn, his subordinates will lead the headquarters to pursue him, ensure that no one is missed, and all of them will be captured for the Khan." ”

"Hahaha, that's right." Khan laughed heartily and was in high spirits.

One of the generals drank a little high, and asked excitedly: "Khan, the night is long, why don't you get some female slaves to come over and dance for fun?" Those ladies and ladies in Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate are as beautiful as flowers, their skin is tender and tender, they are attractive when they look at it, and it is just right to warm the quilt for their brothers at night? ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst out laughing.

"Quasi, here's coming!" Naturally, the Khan will not ignore everyone's requests, there is still a big war ahead, and the army's morale cannot be chaotic.

"Report!"

One person opened the big tent and came in, saluted respectfully and said: "I just received the news that the Tang State sent Xu Shiji as the general manager of the expedition to the north to control the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, Xiazhou and Anbei to protect the government and build a defense line based on the Great Wall. ”

One person said nonchalantly: "Xu Shiji? That old thing still has some skills, but there is nothing to worry about in front of my Turkic iron horsemen, Khan, the last general is willing to take the lead and tear through the bullshit defense. ”

"That's right, Tang Guo is concentrating on the war in the west, and he is personally driving, where are the troops in the north? What's more, the Anbei Protectorate army is like a frightened bird, frightened, Lingzhou and Xiazhou are not the government soldiers, and they also have little combat effectiveness, and the last general will lead the troops south tomorrow and step through their Great Wall. Another general shouted arrogantly.

"yes, fuck it." Others chimed in, confusing the same thing.

When the khan saw that the army's heart was available, he was overjoyed, and shouted to the messenger: "Go, choose some young and beautiful women to come and sing and dance, and after resting, we can fight tomorrow." ”

"Thank you Khan!"

"Khan understands us."

Everyone laughed happily, and their eyes were full of light that all men understood.

At this time, a man hurried in, with a battalion on his shoulder, his face was unusually ugly, he handed a small note to the Khan, and said, "Khan, the secret report I just received. ”

Khan was drunk, unfolded the note and looked at it indifferently, his eyes widened, a cold sweat broke out, he instantly sobered up, slammed the wine bag on the bonfire, the liquor flowed out, and the fire had risen several feet high, so that everyone looked at each other, and the wine was sober for a few minutes.

One of the generals cautiously asked, "Khan, what's wrong?" ”

Khan's face was gloomy, he didn't answer, he looked at the note again, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, his face became gloomy, and he shouted: "Flying Eagle Secret Report, the eldest prince was captured by the Tang State, and the right army was destroyed." ”

"What?"

Everyone's face changed greatly, they were all generals in the army, and they naturally knew the purpose of the two armies attacking at the same time, and now the left army is progressing smoothly, and they only need to tear apart the defense line of the Great Wall to go south, and they can step on Chang'an, but the right army has an accident, and the original plan has to be adjusted.

A general carefully reminded: "Khan, the real purpose of the Right Route Army is to take Longyou, contain Tubo, and facilitate our army to seize the fruits of victory. ”

"That's right, although Tubo and our side formed an alliance and joined forces to divide the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo is not credible, they seized Longyou, annexed Zhangye and Jincheng County, isn't it like preventing our army from taking the Longyou Road into Tang, so that our army has to detour to the north, wasting a lot of time, once they learn that the right army is defeated, there is no worries, such as going east, time is not waiting, we must fight quickly." Another general chimed in.

As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and there are many discussions, and emotions are excited.

The khan stared at the bonfire and was silent, his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't understand why the right army failed, it was almost 200,000 troops, and there were shamans who were scheming and knew about military affairs, and there was no shortage of generals who knew military affairs around the eldest prince, how could he be defeated?

After a while, the khan suddenly shouted impatiently: "Stop arguing! ”

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the Khan.

Khan looked at a person and asked, "You are in charge of intelligence, how many people were with the Han King of Tang when he left Chang'an?" ”

"There are less than 10,000 soldiers, and the rest are baggage, family members, craftsmen, etc."

"How could 10,000 people kill the entire Longyou Dao? Didn't Tubo garrison 100,000 soldiers in Zhangye County? An army of 100,000, plus the city, can't it stop 10,000? Khan said coldly.

Everyone looked sideways at the person in charge of intelligence.

The other party's face froze, he thought for a while, and said: "Due to joining forces with Tubo, there is no Anzhi on the right side of Longyou, the specific situation is unknown, it is said that it is impossible for 10,000 to defeat the Tubo army in Zhangye County, maybe they will take a detour." ”

"Detour?" The Khan was furious, stood up, and shouted: "Even the 100,000 Tubo troops in Zhangye County can't defeat it, how can I defeat my 200,000 brave and good fighters when I go back?" ”

"I ......" the other party was speechless for a while.

"The military situation is unknown, what do you want?"

The Khan was so furious that he drew his sword and cracked down, and a great head rolled to the ground, blood spurting all over the ground.

Everyone was shocked and looked at the enraged Khan.

The Khan's sword was returned to the sheath, and he said coldly: "I can't even figure out the intelligence, this kind of waste can't be kept, everyone, the right army was defeated, Ben Khan's eldest son was captured, life and death are unknown, there is no right army to contain Tubo, Tubo may have sent troops to Chang'an, after a long time, there will inevitably be chaos in the rear, and it must be resolved quickly." ”

"Khan, give orders." Everyone looked stunned and got up one after another.

"The order, the army marched overnight, the Great Wall of the Art of War, smashed the Tang defense line, and took Chang'an as quickly as possible." The Khan commanded murderously.

"Obey!" The crowd agreed.

The Khan asked people to take out the map and unfold it, motioned for everyone to gather around, pointed to the map and said: "The king of Tang Han has the ability to defeat my army on the right, even if he wins a miserable victory, he should not be underestimated, he may send troops to the north at any time, cut off my back road, and then the royal court of the art of war, then the Turks are in danger, what can you do?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces became ugly.

A general hurriedly proposed: "The road is far away, and it may be too late for our army to return to help, but the flying eagle sent a message, ordering the royal court to withdraw the people who control the strings, reorganize the army for battle, and take one person as the commander, which is convenient for command, only need to occupy the fortress, the city, and defend layer by layer, as long as it is guaranteed to be safe within half a year, then everything will be fine." ”

"That's right, layer upon layer of defense, half a year will definitely be able to hold on, and our army will only need a month to take Chang'an, and then send troops to go to Longyou Dao members, and they will be able to arrive in two months, and there will be time." Another general agreed.

Khan looked at the map and pondered for a moment, picked up the golden knife and slapped it on the map, and ordered murderously: "It's too late to return to help, so you can only go south, and fight quickly, as long as the Tang Dynasty is in hand, what if you lose the Turks?" At that time, you can negotiate with hostages, and you don't have to worry about the safety of your family, you ......."

When everyone heard that it made sense, their hearts were determined and they stood solemnly.

"Order, the army marched overnight, the first to set foot on the Great Wall to reward ten thousand households, the first to break Chang'an City, the king." The Khan shouted murderously.

When everyone heard about the king, their eyes were immediately fanatical and excited.

There will be brave men under the reward!

Seeing that the army's heart was available, the Khan was relieved, and shouted: "The king of Tang Han defeated my army on the right, which was a good thing for me, and he also captured my eldest son. ”

"Obey!" Everyone saluted and withdrew from the big account.

A cold wind blew, refreshing people's hearts, but everyone's hearts were hot, and they didn't realize it, and they got on their horses and rushed to their respective armies.

The khan also walked out of the big tent, looking at the cold moon in the sky, but his heart suddenly became irritable, and shouted to one person: "Order the second prince, reorganize the army, prepare for war, defend the fortress and the city with heavy troops, and prevent the invasion of the Han King of the Tang Kingdom, hold on for at least half a year, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Obey!" The other party replied solemnly.

"Send someone to Jincheng County to check again, as soon as there is news, report it quickly, from today onwards, the flying eagle will be under your command."

When the other party heard this, he was overjoyed, and solemnly saluted: "Xie Khan, his subordinates must be smeared with liver and brains, and they will repay each other with death!" ”

The Khan waved his hand to leave, his gaze cast into the deep southern night sky.

In his eyes, there is a madness that will not stop until he reaches his goal.
