"Punishment?"

Tian Hongyou raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xiang Zongyan with a gloomy face, and then replied vigorously: "Xiang Dutong has just made a great contribution, how are you going to punish the crime?" The Governor of Pontus thinks what Xiang Du Tong said is reasonable! How precious are poison sacs? It was made by pouring the strength of the whole clan into the capital day and night, so naturally it should not be used lightly!

And you, as a thief and orthodox, gave a hasty order without discerning the enemy's situation, and used up the poison sac in one battle, and the Tang army that was annihilated was just a suspicious army! Alas! It's a shame! You're still too young to act recklessly! But the Governor of Pontus is also at fault, and he should not have entrusted such a heavy task to you......"

Tian Hongbin was taken aback, the triumphant look on his face immediately retracted, and the first reaction in his heart was, wasn't my brother robbed of seven souls and six souls? How can you speak for others, not to mention that it is still surnamed Xiang!

Immediately, his face was red, and he opened his mouth unconvinced to argue: "What does the governor mean? The last general has never slackened since receiving the order, and today no matter what, he has annihilated 10,000 Tang troops, right? If it weren't for the end general's dedication to arrange, what was the use of those poison sacs to Xiang Zongyan? Governor, fighting a war is not just lip service, and you can win without paying attention to timing and tactics......"

These words seemed to have hit Tian Hong's right weakness inexplicably, only to see Tian Hong's right face showing a fierce light, glaring and reprimanding: "Abin, are you saying that the governor of Pontus doesn't understand military affairs?" ”

Tian Hongbin was a little dazed, and gradually reacted, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he eagerly explained: "Brother, I ......"

"Needless to say!" Tian Hongyou didn't seem to have much patience, and led the guards to the center of the big tent, raised his hand in front of the generals and said loudly: "Everyone, our army has won a great victory today, and tens of thousands of Tang troops will be annihilated in one battle, which is really a great strength for my Sanzhou army!" All the contributions are indispensable, and the governor of Pontus is naturally rewarded! ”

The generals hurriedly handed over their hands to thank the reward, only to see Tian Hongyou change his words again: "But if there is a reward, there will be a punishment, although Tian Hongbin, the righteous capital of the thief, has a great merit, but there is a mistake in misjudging the enemy's situation, causing our army to be in trouble again!" Although he is the younger brother of the governor of Pontus, but the military law is above, he does not dare to show favoritism, and the governor of Pontus is determined to deprive him of his position as the commander of the thief!

Abin, didn't you say that I don't understand military affairs? It's hot and humid here, so if you're dizzy, go back to the city first! When the governor of Pontus has finished handling the military affairs, he will go back and deal with you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Hongbin was ashamed, and the sinuous green tendons between his neck suddenly burst out, which was really scary. As a recognized general of the Tian clan and even Sanzhou, he has made great contributions to Tian Hongyou's seizure of power, and today he was taken away in public by this dearest brother, and he was expelled several times, which is a great humiliation!

"Brother! Why do you obliterate my merits with a single word?! Now that I have to fight with the Tang Army again, if I am not there, how will this battle be fought? ”

Tian Hong reprimanded coldly: "What brother? There's only the Governor! I, the generals of Dongxi, are all heroic, even if you are missing, it doesn't matter. ”

Then with a wave of his hand, he forcibly ordered the Tian family's guards to put this younger brother out with a dead face, and then Tian Hongyou seemed to sit in the upper position of the tent easily, and began to sweep his eyes to the generals who were silent.

At this time, a group of barbarian generals were at a loss, this Tian Hongyou was famous for protecting his shortcomings, and today's move was too strange...... But he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he finally temporarily restrained the conflict between Tian Hongbin and Xiang Zongyan, if he really fought in the tent, the consequences of the enemy's current internal strife would be unimaginable.

As one of the protagonists, Xiang Zongyan, Fang Cai has been listening to the words of the superior with a calm face, and has always remained silent, at this time, he looked up and met Tian Hong's sharp gaze, took a deep breath, and said unhurriedly: "The governor is wise, and the last general is happy and convinced!" But then it is inevitable to fight with the Tang army, and Tian Dutong is a brave general recognized by all my Dongxi tribes, and it is still indispensable......"

Tian Hongyou seemed to brow a little soothed, and then showed a gentle expression, nodded and said: "Xiang Dutong is broad-minded, and the Governor of the Sect admires!" But my brother is really not a weapon, although he has the courage of a horseman, but in the end he is embarrassed! That's it! The governor has already made up his mind on this matter, so don't say anything more! ”

Xiang Zongyan hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, and then led the generals to stand on one side, and then Tian Hong waved his right hand, and ordered all the guards in the tent to retreat to the door to guard, and began to discuss with the generals whether to continue the attack or retreat to Xizhou City to hold on.

Not surprisingly, given that the poison sac has been exhausted, it seems that it has returned to the state of being at a loss a few days ago, and all the barbarians are silent, not to mention offering a strategy to break the enemy, even where Tian Hong's right gaze sweeps, all he gets is a dodge.

Seeing that there was a dead silence in the tent again, Tian Hongyou slowly got up and said coldly with an expressionless face: "Since you have nothing to do about annihilating the Li Yuan army, and you don't have the confidence to defend the city pass, it is better to do this, the governor of Pontus immediately sent an envoy to ask the Tang army to surrender, and to ask the rebel son of the Peng family to surrender, maybe you can still ask for a way out!" ”

The generals raised their heads in astonishment, and it was clear that several of the barbarian generals had already looked strange, and their chests were slightly uneasy, but none of them dared to answer.

"What? Do you really want to surrender? Tian Hongyou suddenly got up, drew his sword and pointed at everyone and shouted: "Pontus knows what you are thinking!" But don't forget, it was not only me Tian Hongyou who expelled and chased the Peng family at the beginning, but all of you present had a share! What's more, today he attacked and killed 10,000 people of the Tang army with a poisonous miasma! If you bow down and surrender, not only will the lands of all ethnic groups be occupied by the Tang army, will Li Yuan and Peng Shiyu let you go?! ”

Several barbarian generals couldn't hold it anymore, and they cut out of the column with a heart on their faces and said loudly: "Governor, you must not surrender!" The last general is willing to fight to the death! ”

As soon as the situation in the tent changed, it soon became excited, Tian Hongyou nodded with satisfaction, but saw that Xiang Zongyan and the three Xiang clan generals behind him were silent, as if they had expected it in their hearts, and asked in a loud voice: "Xiang Dutong, do you have the intention of surrendering?" ”

Xiang Zongyan replied in a deep voice: "Du Du, as a man from Dongxi, how dare he rebel against his ancestors and surrender to the Tang Army?" It's just that the situation is really critical now, and the last general is thinking hard about how to destroy the enemy! ”

"That's great!" Tian Hongyou smiled meaningfully, and then said loudly to the generals: "Everyone, now the time is urgent, I think that the Tang army camp is outside the ancient road, only dozens of miles away, and the Tang army has the advantage of cavalry in an instant, and we are no longer allowed to wait here to delay!" This will be a wooden fence forest wall, there is no danger to defend, it is better to withdraw the army to Xizhou City first, how about we wait and then discuss? ”

Most of the barbarian generals unanimously surrendered their hands and said yes, but when they saw Xiang Zongyan's words, they stopped: "Don't do it!" Even if it is a desperate battle, Huixi Village must not give up! This is the only way to go south to Chenzhou, and Xizhou City is the corner of each other, at any time can be rescued by the two phases, if occupied by the Tang Army, our army will completely retreat, sooner or later will be trapped in Xizhou City! ”

Seeing that Xiang Zongyan looked heartfelt, and the generals also agreed with him, Tian Hongyou showed a look of confusion, patted his head as if he suddenly realized, and said loudly: "It's better to think about Xiang Dutong!" Pontus almost missed a big thing! ”

Before he could open his mouth to Zong Yan, Tian Hongyou immediately added: "Since Huixi Village is so important, it must need a Meng general to guard it!" In this way, it just so happens that there is no master general in the army, and Xiang Dutong, the governor of Bendu ordered you to lead the army to garrison Huixi Village in order to beg the thief and the capital? ”

Seeing that Tian Hongyou had entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility regardless of the clan's previous feuds, such a strange move was really unbelievable, Xiang Zongyan couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

"However, after all, the goal of the Tang army is our Xizhou City, and the governor of Pontus has to transfer back some soldiers and horses to strengthen the garrison in the city! Xiang Dutong, this will be a creek village, so I will order you to lead the soldiers of the headquarters to guard here! ”

Xiang Zongyan took a deep breath, and suddenly his mind was clear about everything that had just happened, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, and hurriedly said loudly: "Think twice!" There are only 3,000 soldiers under the command of the last general! This will be difficult to hold on to Xizhai, if the Tang army comes to attack on a large scale, how can it be defended by relying on these 3,000 people alone? ”

Tian Hongyou waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Oh? Didn't Xiang Dutong say that Huixi Village and Xizhou City are fighting each other? In such a dangerous place, if the Tang army came to attack, how could the governor of Pontus not save him? I will send troops to rescue in time! What's more, the target of the Tang army is Xizhou City, and now the troops are suffering a big loss, so they shouldn't spend their strength attacking this small Huixi Village! ”

"Governor! The Last General—"

Tian Hong raised his eyebrows right and said, "Xiang Dutong, do you want to disobey the military orders of the governor of Bendu?" Pontus has taken your advice! ”

Xiang Zongyan gritted his teeth, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "The last general, the last general obeys the order!" ”

......

Not long after, the horns in the village of Huixi are rising, suddenly breaking the tranquility of the surrounding mountains and forests, the birds in the dense forest on both sides are frightened and rise to the sky, and under the blue sky, the dense Dongxi barbarian soldiers are growing up and the dragon is migrating out of the gate of the village, led by Tian Hongyou to retreat towards Xizhou City, these barbarians who were able to retreat to the city pass, their faces are full of luck and joy, and the footsteps are gradually chaotic.

Xiang Zongyan was standing on the mountain bag where Tian Hongbin was standing at this time, looking at the brigade of barbarians who were gradually moving away, and at the same time commanding the remaining 3,000 barbarians to start digging earth and rocks on the surrounding mountains and preparing to build fortifications. These soldiers were all from the Xiang clan, and at this time they had already understood the situation they were about to face, and they all looked strict and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the orders of the leader to build a defensive line and reorganize their armaments.

I saw a barbarian rush to the mountain bag in a hurry, and went straight to Zong Yan's ear to whisper a few words, and then kept gesturing something with his two hands on his chest.

After the tea time, Xiang Zongyan had followed the general to a camp tent, looked at everything in front of him with a worried face, and asked in a voice, "How is it, when will you wake up?" ”

"Dutong, it's not easy for this person to be able to hold a breath now, if it weren't for Dutong's action to stop him at that time, I'm afraid he would have been in a different place! At this time, the poisoning was too deep and I had already injured my lungs, and I suffered two more knife wounds, and I am afraid it will take more time to wake up! The last general has ordered someone to return to the tribe to get medicine, and invite the old witch to come and treat him, it should be too late......"
