When the news of the loss of Linyuan City came, especially when he learned that the whole army was wiped out in this battle, his beloved son Tian Siyuan was captured, Tian Hongyou panicked, Linyuan City was reinforced, and the city was broken and lost in half a day, and I have to admit that this Li Dashuai really has some means.

However, it is useless to be angry, in the end he lost a usable army, seeing that the Wuping army was about to cross Youshui, Tian Hongyou's first reaction was to send troops to the west bank of Youshui, hiding in the dense forest to ambush, imitating Peng Shichou's strategy of "attacking halfway", but soon received desperate news one after another.

The Tang general Chai Kewu was leading his troops to attack Chenzhou, and the envoy sent to meet the commander of the Han army, Pan Chongche, also had one ear cut off and came back miserably, and brought back a letter from Pan Chongche in an indignant tone, not only refusing the alliance on the grounds of the barbarians' lack of trust, but also accusing the Dongxi barbarians of attacking Lingnan together with the Chu army in the past, looting and slaughtering the people.

Tian Hongyou suddenly lost his master, and after cursing Peng Shiyu, Li Yuan and Pan Chongche several times, as well as another dead son Tian Siyuan, he hurriedly began to dispatch troops.

The strategy of "attacking half-crossing" is imperative, once the Wuping army is allowed to cross the Youshui, and Peng Shiyu leads the way, the consequences are unimaginable, but Tian Hong looked at the roster of generals and fell into a dilemma.

At the moment, it is not only Li Yuan's army that is imminent, but also a Tang army in Chenzhou is attacking the city. Because Tian Hongyou previously concentrated all the 30,000 main forces of the barbarian soldiers in Xizhou, resulting in less than 5,000 defenders in Chenzhou City, all of whom were old and weak divisions. Therefore, Chenzhou must not be abandoned.

But after all, there are only 30,000 soldiers in Xizhou City, and they have to shoulder the responsibility of defending the city, if they divide troops to support Chenzhou, how should they deal with Li Yuan's army? You must know that Peng Shichou's "half-crossing attack" was able to succeed, except that the Chu army was not familiar with the terrain and chose to cross the river in a wide place, but it gathered the young and strong of all tribes and put together an army of 60,000 before they dared to ambush.

Now that Li Yuan's army is not only menacing, but also has Peng Shichou's parent-son Peng Shiyu as a guide, how could he not expect that Tian Hongyou would repeat his old tricks? There must be precautions, and the route chosen to cross the river must be cautious and appropriate. Even if you don't save Chenzhou and don't defend Xizhou, just 30,000 barbarian soldiers will go out on the west bank of Youshui, can you really successfully block the Wuping army, which has been prepared for a long time and is like a wolf and a tiger? This is undoubtedly a gamble of life and death.

Thinking of this, Tian Hongyou, who had limited troops in his hands, hesitated, and finally seized power and took the position, and he lost all the games by accident. Seeing that the commander was so delayed, and at such a critical time, he actually delayed issuing military orders, and the generals knew that the time was urgent, and they were all anxious.

Gong Langzhi, as the leader of the Gong clan, one of the five barbarian clans, and Tian Hongyou's henchman, couldn't hold back at this time, and hurriedly said: "Governor, hurry up and give an order!" If the Tang army is allowed to cross the Youshui, and there are rebels to guide the way, Xizhou will be in danger! The Han Chinese are good at all kinds of siege methods......"

Tian Hongyou frowned and sighed: "Alas! Why didn't the Governor of Pontus know that the situation was critical? In addition to the enemy of Youshui, at present, the Tang army is attacking Chenzhou City at the same time, intending to outflank the back road of our army.

Now our army only has 30,000, and we have to garrison Xizhou, if we divide our troops to rescue Chenzhou, there will not be many available soldiers, not to mention that Li Yuan's army has rebels to guide the way, and they must know our army's tactics! If you risk your troops, if you can't resist it, then Xizhou City will be finished! ”

Gong Langzhi paused, and asked in a deep voice: "What the governor said is reasonable, but even if our army is at a disadvantage, how can we sit back and wait for death?" If we really let the Tang army easily cross the Youshui, how should we deal with it, is Du Du really going to fight a battle with the Tang army to defend the city? ”

Hearing this, Tian Hongyou and all the generals present bowed their heads in contemplation, obviously they didn't have much confidence in holding Xizhou City, because defending the city was not Dongxi's strong point at all.

Since Peng Shichou entered the main Xizhou, every time the foreign enemy invades, the means to keep Xizhou are almost all the enemy outside of Youshui, the barbarians are only good at all kinds of ambushes and attacks, not to mention the fierce battle at the head of the city, in the final analysis, there is no such combat experience at all, most of the generals first saw the siege car and trebuchet, or followed Ma Xicao to attack Tanzhou City in the past.

At this time, Tian Hongyou's younger brother Tian Hongbin got up unhurriedly and said, "Everyone, I don't think there's any need to be so alarmed!" Even if the Tang Army successfully crosses the Youshui, this is the land of our five streams! Even if there are traitors leading the way, they are Han people after all, and they will definitely not adapt to the water and soil when they enter Xizhou.

What's more, now is the time when the heat is unbearable and wild beasts are infested, and the army will definitely be unstable when it goes deep into the mountains and forests, as long as our army is halfway through its march and uses the advantages of the deep mountains and dense forests to attack and harass, it may not be impossible to win! ”

This remark added a lot of confidence to the generals, but Tian Hongyou still said with a worried face: "Since the traitor dared to lead the Tang army across Youshui this time, he came directly to take Xizhou City, how could he not offer his plan to Li Yuan?"

The so-called scorching heat is unbearable and the water and soil are not adaptable, and the Han people only need a few prescriptions to cure it, and the prescription for the poison of blowing arrows is also well known to the rebels of the Peng family! Now that our army is insufficient, relying on attacks alone can only delay the Tang army for a while, I'm afraid it's far from enough! ”

Tian Hongyou said clearly, but the generals gradually became dissatisfied, accustomed to Peng Shichou's resolute and resolute style in the past, but now this coach is so indecisive, this is not good, that is not good, if it is delayed, it will definitely delay the fighter, do you really want to give up the land of Sanzhou where the Dongxi tribes live to the Tang Army?

Suddenly, Xiang Zongyan, the commander of the left wing of the Xizhou Army, changed his usual silence, got up and said: "Governor, there is a plan to break the Tang Army!" ”

Tian Hongyou was very surprised when he heard this, you must know that this Xiang Zongyan is a member of the Xiang clan, when Peng Shichou abandoned the Xiang clan but chose the Tian clan, the two families have formed a grudge, although he succeeded in ascending the throne this time, the Xiang clan can only bow down and obey orders due to the gradual decline, but how can he not know the dissatisfaction in the heart of the Xiang clan?

At this moment, Xiang Zongyan, who is the head of the Xiang clan, actually claims to offer a plan, which is really a bit strange.

Tian Hongyou's general asked suspiciously, "Oh? What is the plan of the envoy to the capital, tell me quickly! ”

Xiang Zongyan said lightly: "Dudu, have you ever heard of the Han Dynasty's Fubo General Ma Yuan nine hundred years ago? ”

These inexplicable words made Tian Hongyou instantly confused, and before he could speak, his younger brother Tian Hongbin sneered and said: "Isn't Xiang Du Mo dizzy, and Nadu Du ridiculed, the enemy is actually telling a story?" ”

Gong Langzhi, who was old and steady, seemed to react instantly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Xiang Du is really a god and a man!" ”

Tian Hong swallowed his saliva on the right and asked with a puzzled face, "How do you say this?" ”

Xiang Zongyan snorted lightly, deliberately glanced at Tian Hongbin, who was full of disdain, and then responded: "General Fubo Ma Yuan is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he has made great achievements for Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty......

Tian Hongbin waved his hand and stopped loudly: "Slow and slow, what do you mean?" At the moment of the great enemy, as a member of my Dongxi tribe, why do you boast of a Han who has long been an ancient man? Xiang Zongyan, what are your intentions? ”

Xiang Zongyan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he continued in a cold voice: "But such a well-known general in the world ended up in the hands of my Dongxi clan!" Nine hundred years ago, almost all the Han troops, including Ma Yuan, fell on the ancient road outside my Xizhou City......"

Tian Hongbin smiled, shook his head and said disappreciatively: "Nonsense, if there is really such a thing, how can I not know?" ”

Seeing that his younger brother was so messing around, Tian Hongyou became interested and anxious, so he hurriedly got up and asked first: "Oh? Why did such a famous general die here? Don't sell it to the capital, come quickly! ”

Xiang Zongyan arched his hand and replied: "It's normal for the Dudu clan not to know the truth, after all, thousands of years ago, only my Xiang clan and the Gong clan lived here, of course they know it very well!" And the means that caused Ma Yuan's death were out of my secret to the Xiang clan!

Now that thousands of years have passed, there are still a few elders in my Xiang clan who know this method, but they have never used it, not only the rebel son of the Peng family, but even the deceased grandfather of the Peng family...... This method is a poisonous miasma! ”

The generals looked at each other one after another: "Poisonous miasma? ”

Tian Hongbin couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, what kind of clever means should I have!" Poisonous miasma is not rare, in the land of my cave stream, there are many miasma all over the mountains, the Peng family's rebels have long been familiar with it, and Tang Jun is not a fool, won't he take a detour when he sees the miasma? ”

"This miasma is not another miasma." Xiang Zongyan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My Xiang clan has its own strange method, which can turn miasma into medicinal powder, and then add highly poisonous things to make poison sacs to throw, once this thing is contaminated, whether it is Li Yuan today, or Ma Yuan nine hundred years ago, even if the immortals meet it, they are helpless!" ”

All the generals showed incredible looks, and Tian Hongyou was even more excited, and said loudly: "If Xiang Du has this method, why didn't he say it earlier?!" If we can really throw the poisonous miasma into Li Yuan's army, how can our army not be victorious? ......”

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Tian Hongyou was a little fluttering soon, it was no longer a question of victory or defeat at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the crowd would be anxiously waiting for the order, he almost didn't think of capturing Langzhou and establishing himself as the king.

Time was not waiting, Tian Hongyou immediately spoke: "With such a killing weapon in hand, the Tang Army will not come back!" Xiang Du, please return to the tribe and hurry up and make a batch of poison sacs! Now that the time is pressing, once the poison sac is made, the Pontus Governor will immediately order troops to meet the enemy! ”

"Dudu, it takes at least three or five days to make the poison sac ......"

Tian Hongyou took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is this too late?" Three or five days later, the Tang army may have arrived outside the ancient road! ”

Xiang Zongyan waved his hand and said, "Dudu, the spread of the poisonous miasma needs to be in an open place, and it can only play a big role by borrowing the wind to spread!" Deep in the mountains and dense forests, the forests and grasses are too dense, and the enemy army is scattered, which is not the best time! Therefore, if Li Yuan's army arrives at the ancient road, it will be an excellent opportunity for our army!

The terrain of the ancient road pass is flat, the grass and trees are sparse, it is difficult for the Tang army to hide its tracks, and it is in the north of the tuyere! At that time, you only need to shoot with a bow and arrow with a poison sac, and when the poisonous miasma is together, the Tang army will definitely be in chaos, and then suffer heavy casualties! Our army only needs to wait for the rest of the enemy to be wiped out after the miasma is dispersed......"
