Back at the General's Mansion, Chen Shijin had no leisure to slack off, and ordered the guards at the door to say: "Order, order General Tong to come to my mansion, General Ben has something important to discuss——"

It seems that Chen Shijin seems to have a discussion with Tong Chen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General Hui, General Tong is out with his troops today, not in the mansion—" Who knows, the guard said.

"Outside with troops?" Chen Shijin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked in a rhetorical voice, "What task does he need to lead troops?" General Ben is not in the mansion, or is someone who ordered him...... Tell me, who instructed General Tong?"

"Yes......" The guards were a little hesitant and couldn't name them for a while.

"It's me—" At the same moment, a majestic voice came from the house, and the door answered.

Chen Shijin was familiar with this voice, but he exclaimed the timing of its appearance......

"Squeak-" Pushing open the door of the mansion and looking squarely--Sure enough, the person sitting in front of the case in the general's mansion was actually Timur of the expansion.

"Lord Timur?" Chen Shijin saw his boss, but did not make a gesture of flattery, but asked lightly, "Why is Lord Timur here?"

"Am I strange here? This is my territory--" Timur said without changing his usual majesty.

"But the imperial court ordered that Master Li Siqi and Master Li be in charge of the garrison of Tongguan before......" Chen Shijin continued to ask, "Lord Timur, we are all clear about your 'relationship' with Lord Li...... There are endless disputes above the imperial court, and there is a civil war under the imperial court, and the 'grievances' between you and Lord Li are not good in this place? How can you say that Tongguan is still in a military crisis......

"Hmph, what do you care about Li Siqi's guy? He's just a slave dog who relies on the emperor's authority to oppress the officials and ministers who oppose him, so General Ben doesn't take him seriously...... This is not an imperial city, if he really dares to appear here, and when he sees General Ben, I don't believe he will run away with his tail between his legs......"

"But after all, it is an edict of the imperial court, and it is not good not to obey it...... Chen Shijin continued, "The battle at Tongguan is critical, Lord Timur, you have finally reconciled with the imperial court, and it seems that there is something inappropriate to cause 'internal strife' at a critical moment......

"Hmph, this general came here, naturally for the Tongguan war, and he didn't have time to deal with Li Siqi's dog......" Timur looked at him intently, and then asked Chen Shijin, "Although the imperial court 'drove me' out, but this place was originally under the jurisdiction of this general, if this general has an order, how can you not listen?"

"Of course......" Chen Shijin's expression remained unchanged and he replied softly.

"Having said that, if you don't see General Chen for a day, what kind of accident is there?" asked Timur about Chen Shijin again.

Chen Shijin bowed and said: "Lord Hui, at the end of yesterday, the general led his troops to Xu Valley, ambushed and captured the enemy general Qin Yu, and won the key victory, just returned to the army at the right time——"

"General Chen killed that Qin Yu, didn't he?" asked Timur with joy after hearing this.

"Yes, it is Qin Yu, who is known as the 'Divine General' in Yizhou and one of the 'Five Tigers of the Divine General' under the account of the Spring Pioneer......" Chen Shijin said without compliment, "In Yizhou and Luoyang, you beat your brother twice and fled, this ambush, the last general avenged this revenge for the virtuous brother...... In the end, Chen Shijin did not forget to mention Timur's younger brother, because of Timur's defeat of Qin Yu twice.

"Why are you mentioning him? a guy who is not angry at all......" Timur let out his anger, but did not save any face for his younger brother.

"It's just that in this ambush, the last general was slightly injured, and he had to go back to the camp for a few days to recuperate......" Chen Shijin stroked the shoulder of the bloody mouth, and said in a fixed voice, "After all, he is a 'divine general', a descendant of a famous general in the first emperor's period, and he has the power to resist the power of thousands of armies, and it takes a little effort to kill him......" During the report, Chen Shijin concealed his battle against Hu Yidi.

"In short, being able to kill the enemy general Qin Yu, General Chen can be said to have made another great contribution-" In the face of Chen Shijin, Timur still trusted him very much, "It is worthy of being a talent personally promoted by General Ben back then, and what he did never disappointed General Ben......"

"Now that the last general has been informed of his affairs, can I ask my lord now......" Chen Shijin retracted his expression slightly, and asked instead, "Lord Timur suddenly did not invite him to come, and ordered General Tong Chentong to lead the troops outside, what is the so-called matter?"

"That's what General Chen asked...... "Timur smiled coldly, and then said in secret terms, "General Ben entrusted him with a task and asked him to lead his troops to ......"

"What task?" Chen Shijin still asked tightly.

"Ordered to kill the enemy's vanguard commander -- Tang Zhan!" said Timur in a resounding voice.

"Tang Zhan?" Chen Shijin couldn't help but worry when he heard this, "The descendants of the Tang family are strong in martial arts, the chief general who leads the victorious army, the leading troops are rigorous and strategic, and General Tong's personality is reckless, can he complete the task alone?"

"Of course, General Ben has already given instructions before the expedition......" Timur said with a confident face, "Today, the spies from the front came to report, the main force of the vanguard army is going to Qianguan to attack, I ordered General Tong to ambush in front of the valley, what to do and what to do, I have already instructed ......"

"Is it?, then the general will be relieved......" Chen Shijin's face remained unchanged, and he said in response, "It just so happens that he has always wanted to compete with the descendants of the Tang family, and this is a godsend......

After the discussion, Chen Shijin asked for the order to turn around and leave, leaving Timur alone in the mansion......

"Hmph, successfully killed the enemy general Qin Yu, the vanguard army lost another tiger, and then as long as General Tong defeated Tang Zhan at Qianguan, the vanguard army will collapse......" Describing the battle situation, Timur said secretly, "General Wuliang, I will follow your strategy, use the martial arts forces of the Western Regions, and defeat the main generals of the vanguard army one by one, and now the actual results have been achieved, and victory is close at hand...... Although your life is not there, I believe that you should be very relieved to see this situation, and you are under the Nine Springs......"

In the secret words, Timur actually remembered his dead subordinate Uliang Todo - the strategy of breaking the vanguard generals one by one, and Uliang Todo had mentioned it many times, and now it seems that he has reached the "neck" of the war......

In front of the gorge, Tong Chen followed the plan of expanding Timur, and ambushed the troops here to wait for the Tang army to come......

"General Tong, the orders you requested, your subordinates and others have been put in place-" Directly above the canyon, Tong Chen watched everything in front of him, and his soldiers reciprocated.

"Very good-" Tong Chen listened, and then said, "All units of the army are ready, if the enemy troops come, they must report to me immediately!"

"Yes—" The soldier commanded, and turned to leave......

"Descendants of the Tang family, I've been waiting for this day for a long time......" Thinking of the upcoming battle with his opponent Tang Zhan, Tong Chen's heart was full of excitement, "It's rare that Lord Timur has entrusted me with such a 'heavy responsibility', and I will definitely not live up to ......"

Since the start of the Tongguan War, Tong Chen has been looking forward to competing with Tang Zhan, whether in competition or war...... The time when the side camp attacked the grain, he couldn't do it but his wish, so Tang Zhan escaped, this time in front of the canyon, he couldn't let go of the opportunity again.

When he met Kuangkhor Timur in the garrison position and received this important task, Tong Chen was still very excited......

(in recall)......

Chen Shijin and Sima Hanyi both happened to be leading the troops today, leaving Tong Chen alone in the army. Tong Chen, who was born in the Western Regions, was unwilling to endure the loneliness of having no leisure and strolled in front of the city to "complain......

"What, is it only General Tong that you are alone in the army?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted the silence.

"Lord Timur?" Tong Chen looked back and saw Timur coming to the army, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "My lord, why did you come here, don't you have a grudge against Li Siqi, the current Tongguan garrison, Lord Li? If he sees it, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Hmph, this is originally my territory, why can't I come?" "What kind of thing is Li Siqi? impeached me in every way above the court, and now under the court, here, I don't believe he dares to do anything to me......"

"Then why did Lord Timur come here for no reason?" Tong Chen did not know the intention of expanding Timur's origin, and continued to ask.

"Of course, there are important things to mention—" Timur calmed down, and then asked first, "By the way, what about General Chen and General Sima, why didn't you see them?"

Tong Chen said bluntly: "I don't know, General Chen and General Sima said that there is an important task today, and the leader of the troops is not in the army......

"Hmph, the two of them are doing their own things behind their backs......" Timur muttered, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, anyway, what they are doing is also for Tongguan to defend against the enemy, don't add more trouble to me out of thin air......"

"Then Lord Timur came today, what do you want to mention?" Tong Chen continued to ask.

"Of course, General Yu Tong has an important task—" said Timur Zhengyan.

"The last general?" Tong Chen still couldn't believe it, and asked rhetorically.

"Of course, is General Tong willing to stay alone in the camp and endure the torment of 'not being able to fight if there is a war'?" asked Timur with a rhetorical smile.

"If there is a battle, of course the last general will gladly accept it-" Tong Chen saw that there was a task to ask him, and immediately said excitedly, "Dare to ask Lord Timur, what task does the last general need to do?"

Kuoku Timur was a little certain, and asked Guanzi: "General Tong, do you remember why General Ben promoted you in the first place?"

"In order to deal with Tang Zhan, the main general of the enemy's vanguard army!-" At the mention of "Tang Zhan", Tong Chen suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly, "It is precisely this reason and opportunity that the last general did not hesitate to join the account of Lord Timur!"

"That's right......" Timur laughed and continued, "and that's why General Ben reuses you. Now I entrust the task to you, what does General Tong think......"

"Could it be ......" seemed to guess the expectation in his heart, Tong Chen asked excitedly.

"That's right, now there is this opportunity--" Kuangkuo Timur immediately ordered, "The spies from the front have come to report, today the enemy's vanguard garrison army is dispatched, and it is patrolling towards Qianguan-the main general Tang Zhan is among them, and this general now orders General Tong to lead your troops to set up an ambush and surprise attack in the area of Qianguan to defeat the Tang Zhan troops!"

"Yes, the last general will live up to the trust of Lord Timur!" Tong Chen received the order and was ready to raise troops to fight Tang Zhan.

"General Tong, don't worry, I will tell you what to do at Qianguan......" Timur smiled coldly, and then sent all the content of the military operation to Tong Chen......

(In reality)......

"According to Lord Timur's strategy, this will definitely succeed......" Tong Chen seemed to hold victory in his hands, and said in his heart, "Descendants of the Tang family, I will definitely be able to defeat you this time......"

The Mengyuan troops occupied the top of the hill and waited for the Tang Zhan army to come......

"Report to the general, find the target-" After a long time, the spies in front sent back the information, and solemnly instructed, "Two miles ahead, the main force of the enemy army is coming, and it will reach the canyon in a short time-"

"It's a good time!-" Tong Chen was excited, and then ordered his soldiers to say, "Order, order all departments to prepare for response, the moment before the enemy arrives at the pass, everything will act according to the original plan-"

"Yes—" The army was ordered, and an ambush was imminent......

And the vanguard troops that were getting closer to the front pass were slowly marching towards the canyon. The leading leaders are Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, after all, the other generals in the army are either killed or missing, and almost only the two of them are left.

And this front battle was actually not the original intention of the army - the Qin couple who had just died last night were mourned, and the morale of the army was still in a low state; but Zhu Yuanzhang chose a time to order a crusade, and Lu Jing had a "military order" on his body, so he had to do it, even if he stepped forward hard, he could not disobey the military order.

Obviously, this victory is not a big battle, and it is almost inevitable to lose, but Lu Jing is still calm and calm, as if she has a plan in her heart, but she hides her secret worries......

"Jing'er, is this really okay......" Tang Zhan seemed to be worried about something, and beside him, he whispered to Lu Jing, "The strategy you talked to me about last night is a little too dangerous......

"Taking Tongguan with poor soldiers in a few days is the only strategy that can be achieved......" Lu Jing calmed down and said calmly, "I admit that this is the most dangerous and unguaranteed plan I have used since I led my troops...... But this is the only way, I can only give it a go......"

"But if we 'fail', then the rest of the army ......" Tang Zhan still seemed to be worried, and asked in a loud voice.

"Don't worry, I have instructed Wu Xiao to do all the other things......" Lu Jing firmly believed in herself, "Wu Xiao is bold in using soldiers like a god, and his strategy is not under me, and he will not lose the overall situation and calm in the face of danger...... After all, it's my disciple who saw it with my own eyes, and he won't let me down......"

"Brother Lu Ling, is it......" Tang Zhan thought of the "master-apprentice bond" between Lu Jing and Lu Ling, so he nodded and trusted, "Well, I believe in you, Jing'er, and I also believe in Brother Lu Ling......"

"And there are Sister Su and Brother Xiao......" Lu Jing still thought of Xiao Tian and Su Jia, whose whereabouts were unknown, and said secretly in her heart, "I also gambled on them for success or failure, and handed over the tips before leaving...... If all of these schemes succeed, it will be a 'dangerous scheme' that I have never seen before......"

As he spoke, the troops of the Great Army were already approaching the pass of the canyon......
