Chapter 173: Gong Jue's Proud Strategy
"What?" Li Siye suddenly became two big, and the Tubo people were really cunning, and they didn't forget to take hostages when they fled. If he hadn't fled from his wife and daughter with Gayan, Li Siye would still be able to spare his life. But now, even if he escapes back to Tibet, Li Siye will personally rescue Jiayan's wife and daughter, and bring his head back.
The surviving warriors of the Hidden Tribes began to search for their relatives among the captives, and more than 3,000 old people, women, and children of the Hidden Tribes finally saw the light of day, either hugging their loved ones and crying, or cheering and shouting to each other.
Gayan staggered through the crowd from father and son, despite his injuries, calling the names of his mother and sister Aranda.
"Aranda, where are you! Come out! ”
"Mother, sister!"
Li Siye really couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he immediately turned over and began to gather his subordinates to guard Lang.
He knew that it didn't take too many people to pursue, but it had to be brave and capable, willing to travel long distances with him. He immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Tubo Qianzong has escaped, this guard is ready to take his head back, now twenty warriors are needed, who is willing to make this feat, follow me immediately!" ”
"Li Yuanjun, my wife and daughter have not been found!" Gayan staggered to his horse: "I asked a lot of people, and Aranda is not among them!" ”
"I know," said Li Siye, "I took them away when Gong Juezan fled, and I am now preparing to gather twenty warriors to pursue them, and promise to bring Aranda and his wife back to you in their entirety." ”
"I ...... too" Jiayan was about to speak, but was blocked by Li Siye: "The general and the eldest son are seriously injured and are not allowed to participate, if you lose Luo, follow me!" ”
"Of course! Yes, sir! Even if Li Siye doesn't say it, he has to volunteer and take up the mission of saving his mother and sister. If your loved ones don't save you, can you expect others to save them?
Tian Zhen and Fuji Mu took the initiative to fight, but Li Siye waved his hand and refused: "You two, one of you must stay and assist Jiayan from the general to return to the Green Ridge with the people of the Hidden Tribe." ”
The guards took the initiative to sign up to participate in the pursuit, and Li Siye eliminated the injured ones who were injured by the hanging colors, and selected the best from the best to select seventeen people. He ordered the men to unload their excess equipment, and to bring only a long weapon, a horizontal knife, a horned bow and quiver, a water bag, and compressed biscuits to marinate meat, and the portion was only enough for five days.
Five days is the time to go back and forth to the border of the little Bolu country. The crowd set out along the edge of the Karakoram Mountains towards the border of the Lesser Buru Kingdom.
……
Gong Juezan's escape was extremely embarrassing, there were only six Gui archers left by his side, and as for those Yong who ran slowly, they were ruthlessly abandoned by him.
As the sky was getting dark, he and his men lit a bonfire in a mountain pass valley, and after two days of traveling, everyone was extremely tired.
Gayancong's wife and daughter were bound hand and foot and thrown on horseback, rags gagged their mouths, and their mouths made whining sounds. Gong Juezan took off his pocket and stared blankly at the fire, as if thinking about his thoughts.
Ge Rilang, the head of the five hundred, squatted opposite him, turned back and pointed to the man tied to the horse's back and asked: "Why do we keep carrying these two burdens, and slow down the horse's pace in vain, why don't we kill them one by one and throw them into the Xiduo River." ”
"What do you know," Gong Juezan glanced up at Ge Rilang, and snorted coldly, "These are two fragrant bait, and when I go back to regroup, it will be up to them to fish Gayan from the Tanjuling garrison fort." ”
Ge Rilang hugged his chest helplessly and said: "It's still Mr. Qian's long-term thinking, and we haven't been able to think of this section." ”
Gong Juezan did not show any discouragement on his face, patted Ge Rilang on the shoulder and said: "I never give up easily, and I was defeated in the hands of the Tang Army in the Green Mountains, and I only blame these Han people for being treacherous and treacherous. I want to take revenge for this revenge, and when I return to Tanju Ridge, I immediately ask Dongdai Dongben for reinforcements to strengthen the city defense, and then wait for Jiayan to come to the door with the Tang army, bite them to death on Tanju Ridge, and let out a bad breath in my chest. ”
There were some words that Ge Rilang hid in his stomach and did not speak, and Gong Juezan's move seemed to be beautiful, but it undoubtedly added danger to their escape. They held Gayan hostage all the way to his wife and daughter, and how could the Zhiyin Department and the Tang army give up, maybe the pursuing Tang army would follow behind them. With these seven people left, how can they stop the strong Anxi soldiers?
Although it is a danger of wealth and wealth, it is too selfish and arrogant to put his subordinates in danger for the sake of his own wealth.
"There is the sound of horses' hooves!" Ge Rilang's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and listened quietly, then stood up and pointed in the direction and said, "It's from the north, and it seems that there are only two or three people listening to the sound." ”
"Draw your sword and prepare to fight!"
The warriors turned on their horses, and Gong Juezan quickly mounted his mount, drew his steel sword, and pulled Aranda's hair across the horse, and touched the edge of the broad-bladed knife to her neck, looking nervous as he waited for the impending enemy.
The three horses appeared on the rolling hills, the sound of the horses' hooves slow and weak, obviously tired to the limit.
Ge Rilang put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and said suspiciously: "It seems to be Zonglu." ”
Gong Juezan's expression was slightly unhappy: "Why did he come back alive?" ”
When the three horsemen got closer and closer to them, the Katsura archers recognized Zong Lu and the two warriors on the horse: "Mr. Qian, it's really Zong Lu and them!" ”
Gong Juezan adjusted his mood slightly, and the two pinches of black mustache on the corners of his lips smiled: "Haha, I was thinking about Zong Lu just now, but I didn't expect that the gods had brought you back to me."
Zong Lu beat the horse to the front, turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground and said: "Mr. Qian, my subordinates failed to capture Jiayan alive, so I specially ask Mr. Qian." ”
Gong Juezan stepped forward to help him up, grabbed his cuffs and said affectionately: "The defeat in this battle is not your fault, as long as you come back alive." ”
"Mr. Qian, I still have something to report, the Tang army has twenty horsemen in hot pursuit, and they are following us, less than twenty miles away from here. Zong Lu wanted to ask, is Mr. Qian still holding Jia Yancong's wife and daughter hostage? ”
Gong Juezan's face turned cold, and he pointed to the horse's back and said, "Isn't that it?" ”
Zong Lu knelt down again and said: "My subordinates have a strategy that can make the Tang army retreat immediately, even if they don't retreat, they can't catch up with us anymore." ”
"Oh, what's your plan?"
"If this Jiayan's wife and daughter are seriously injured and abandoned, even if the Tang army catches up, they can only treat Jiayan's wife and daughter first, and then we can take the opportunity to calmly return to Tanjuling."
"No," Gong Juezan replied coldly and bluntly, "I will be of great use to this wife and daughter of Gayan's servants in the future." ”
"But...... The subordinate asked, and Qian always thought of a way to retreat from the enemy. ”
A hypocritical smile appeared on Gong Juezan's face: "I have already thought of this, as long as we send someone back to intercept it and buy us time, we can take a shortcut back to Tanju Ridge." ”
"Oh," Zong Lu stared at Gong Juezan's eyes expressionlessly: "Who is President Qian going to send back to the Broken Queen?" ”
"Of course it's you, Zonglu."
"Why am I going?"
"Why?" Gong Juezan squinted his eyes and snorted: "Our fiasco today is all because you are not aware of the enemy, and the one hundred and twenty horsemen guarding the Green Ridge are all wearing high-grade scale armor!" Well-armed and well-trained. Even if it is the elite force of Anxi, the Qiuzi Town Army, it is nothing more than that! The information in your hands is false, and we are defeated! ”
Zong Lu's eyes turned red, and he suddenly let out a sad and indignant laugh, pointing at Gong Juezan and shouting: "Gong Juezan! If you don't listen to me and are arrogant, can we have this defeat? ”
