Loulan Mansion, the prefect's yamen.

Tang Tingbai sat calmly on the main seat and drank tea leisurely.

On either side sat the captains of the major legions.

Tang Tingbai took a sip of tea: "Everyone, you also know what happened just now, I have cooperated with the Xiongnu and are ready to sell Loulan Mansion to the Xiongnu, in this case, the Turks will definitely not be able to sit still, and will definitely attack Loulan Mansion frantically in these three days, we are under a lot of pressure, do you have any suggestions?" ”

This......

The central general Zhuge Invincible took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should lead his troops to guard the major transportation arteries of Loulan Mansion and prevent the Turkic army from taking a step forward, as long as it is delayed until the Xiongnu send cattle, sheep and war horses over." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army, also nodded: "My subordinates seconded the proposal, as long as we hold these communication arteries, the enemy will not be able to enter." ”

The rest of the crowd did not speak, but nodded in agreement.

Tang Tingbai's gaze glanced around and found that Lu Bu was not there.

"Lao Huang, where is Lu Bu?" Tang Tingbai asked curiously.

This......

Huang Zhong smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, you have removed Lu Bu from the position of commander of the White Tiger Army, and now Lu Bu is still staying in the small black room of the confinement room." ”

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai suddenly realized and patted his head.

"I did forget."

"Yuan Fang, bring Lu Bu to the meeting."

Li Yuanfang nodded with a smile, he knew that it was impossible for the emperor to really punish Lu Bu.

A few minutes later, Lu Bu had already arrived in the hall.

He ignored everyone's gaze and knelt directly in front of Tang Tingbai: "Child Lu Bu, meet the emperor!" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction, he liked Lu Bu's character who could do anything.

"Fengxian, I dismissed you and the eldest prince Tang Tingfeng together, do you have a grudge in your heart?"

"The child doesn't dare, the emperor is far-sighted, he must have his own ideas, the child is a courtier of Dayan, and he is ready to give everything for Dayan at any time!" Lu Bu immediately bowed.

Well?

Tang Tingbai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak immediately.

I asked him if he had any resentment in his heart, and Lu Bu's answer was that he didn't dare.

That shows that Lu Bu does not dare to be resentful.

In fact, I still feel a little aggrieved in my heart.

Touching his chin, Tang Tingbai raised his head: "Everyone, now I have six legions in Dayan, although it seems to be quite a lot, in fact, it is only 300,000 people, I decided to reorganize the army, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can become stronger, and it is more convenient to fight, what do you think?" ”

This......

Zhuge Invincible's face changed, he knew that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, was fighting his legions again.

After all, the Qinglong Army had just been acquired by this tyrant, and Meng Yi was still the emperor's man.

As for the White Tiger Army and the Vermilion Bird Army, they have long been the emperor's henchmen.

The same is true of the Xuanwu Army, Guan Yu is now leading the troops to fight, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army also worship this emperor very much.

Now the remaining two legions are not yet mastered by Tang Tingbai.

Gluttonous Army and Kirin Army.

Zhuge Invincible knew that relying on two legions would not be able to make any waves at all.

Zhuge Wushu sighed, and regretted it a little in his heart.

Before, when Tang Tingbai's foothold was not stable, he could still compete with this tyrant.

However, at that time, he had too many worries, and he did not take this tyrant into account.

Even when Tang Tingbai asked for the White Tiger Army and the Vermilion Bird Army Talisman, Zhuge Invincible felt that it was not a big problem, after all, Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, was inferior to him in terms of background and foundation.

But now, Tang Tingbai has won the hearts of the people and the army.

His sense of presence as a central general is getting lower and lower.

Who would have imagined that this was just a matter of months?

Zhuge Invincible sighed, and could only pray in his heart that this tyrant would make a move.

"Father-in-law, the child thinks it is feasible, now there are 50,000 people in each legion, and once you face a large corps of soldiers, this number of people is simply not enough."

"Moreover, the combat effectiveness and cooperation between the various legions are different, and it is difficult to cooperate on the battlefield, and it is good to be able to exert 80% of the combat effectiveness of 100 percent."

"If two or three legions are combined and trained in a unified manner, it will only take a month to achieve absolute cooperation, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be increased by at least half."

In the end, Lu Bu's face was full of excitement.

If he were to command two legions of 100,000 people, he would be confident that he would fight even in the face of hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry.

Tang Tingbai nodded, and he touched his chin in embarrassment.

"Well, I've never merged the Legion before, and I don't dare to try it easily."

"I plan to use the Blue Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army as a pilot first, and merge the two legions into one legion."

"As for the name, let's call it the First Army, it's easy to remember."

"The commander of the First Army is Lu Bu, and the deputy commander of the First Army is Meng Tian, what do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

"The emperor is sage, and his subordinates are meaningless!"

They all knew that since Tang Tingbai had already decided on something, asking them was just going through the motions.

And Lu Bu and Meng Tian stepped forward in unison, kneeling on one knee, with excitement on their faces: "Thank you for the emperor's trust, my subordinates will live up to their mission!" ”

……

Nothing was said all night.

The day after Zhao Xuhuo's departure, the Turkic cavalry began to attack Loulan Mansion like mad dogs.

Fearless of death, not even casualties.

After a day of fighting, Dayan's warriors lost thousands.

And the Turks left tens of thousands of corpses.

The ratio of battle losses between the two sides even reached a staggering twenty to one.

You know, most of the Turks were cavalry.

Most of Dayan's troops are infantry, and it stands to reason that it is difficult for infantry to defeat cavalry.

And there are many reasons why Dayan can do such a miracle.

First of all, weapons armor definitely comes first.

The second is that the Dayan army is on the defensive side, occupying the commanding heights, and throwing bows and arrows, rolling wood and thunder stones desperately down, can also kill a lot.

In the end, the Turkic soldiers were in too much of a hurry, and the attack was also disorganized.

The next day, the Turks attacked again.

The same tens of thousands of corpses were left behind, and those who came back withdrew their troops.

On the third day, the Turkic offensive became more ferocious.

And the First Army led by Lü Bu and Meng Tian attacked decisively.

The infantry and cavalry fought together, and the Turks were caught off guard and retreated!

At the gate of Loulan Mansion City, Tang Tingbai stood on the city wall, looking at the countless cattle, sheep and war horses outside, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Hehe, the third prince is really a man of his word, you wait a minute, I'll let people count the cattle, sheep and war horses."

"Brother Tang is casual, I, the Huns, value promises the most, and I don't bother to cheat." Ulantu smiled confidently.

However, when he spoke, his eyes were full of coldness.

Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, within half a year, he Ulantu will definitely kill Tang Tingbai with his own hands.

Soon, Li Yuanfang took a group of brocade guards to count the cattle, sheep and war horses.

Because there are too many cattle, sheep and horses.

Even if thousands of people counted together, it took nearly a day.

At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.

Li Yuanfang came back covered in mud: "The emperor has finished counting, 20 million cattle and sheep and 10 million war horses are just right!" ”

Tang Tingbai nodded: "Okay, drive back to Dayan, and at the same time order all Dayan troops to immediately evacuate Loulan Mansion and go to Longyou Mansion to assemble!" ”

"My subordinates will do it!" Li Yuanfang left immediately.

That night, all of Dayan's 300,000 troops withdrew.

And the entire Loulan Mansion was also taken over by the Xiongnu army.

on the city walls.

Ulantu's eyes were like eagles, staring at the firelight in the distance: "Tang Tingbai, you wait for this prince, destroy the Turks, it is the end of your Dayan, and then this prince will personally break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
