A thorn in the side

In the large tent of the Changsheng Camp, Gao Ziran and the two Qianniu Guards were vividly describing their excitement after receiving the emperor's reward. Of course, they could not help but shed tears of gratitude to Changsheng:

"All of this is because of General Li!"

Changsheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Gao, your words are serious!"

"General Li's deeds of one thousand infantrymen defeating ten thousand Turks have been reported to the Imperial Ancestral Temple by the emperor, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also came forward to congratulate him."

Changsheng felt uneasy when he heard this sentence: "Master Gao, is it true that no one doubts it?"

The flag officer immediately stood up: "I heard that there were a few, but after the imperial army inspected the heads, no one doubted them anymore. The adults in the Ministry of War and the chief ministers all said that seven people were beheaded in the field.

One hundred people, the Turkic Tatars can never be less than nine thousand."

"How about it, Mr. Li, I didn't lie to you, right?" Gao Ziran said proudly: "There is also good news. Your proposal for trade with the Turks has been approved by the emperor."

Yang Guang changed his gender?

Changsheng doubted in his heart that although the two sides were at war, as long as the higher authorities did not interfere, he could find a way to open up the trade line.

The three of them were left to entertain themselves in the tent. After Chang Sheng said goodbye, he left first.

As soon as she returned to her tent, she saw Qin Qiong standing there with her head lowered.

"What's wrong?" Changsheng asked casually.

"Lord, something happened..."

…

Xidukou is more than 20 miles away from Changsheng Camp. On the Xiyang River, you can vaguely see people cutting down trees on the other side, and some people are building camps. Smoke is rising, and a simple civil structure is surrounded by smoke.

The bunker has begun to take shape...

The officers of several battalions stood behind her with their heads lowered and said nothing. After a while, Master Gao and the two Qianniu Guards came over on horseback.

Gao Ziran reined in his horse and stopped beside Changsheng, and asked in a panic: "I heard something happened, what's the matter?"

After understanding the scale and intention of the other party's building, Chang Angrily threw the riding crop in his hand on the ground: "I have only been walking for more than two months, why are the Turkic bunkers built under my nose?"

Her slightly childish voice echoed in the air. For a long time, no one dared to answer. Changsheng raised his voice: "Why don't you beat them? Are you all dead?"

"That's right, please hurry up and reply to General Li!" Gao Ziran also shouted. He was also shocked when he first learned about this. But everyone in the Changsheng Camp started fighting him no matter what he said.

He knew that he could not command this army, so he simply ignored it.

The upright Qin Qiong was the first to stand up again: "Master Qi, I advocated attacking before," he said, turning around and glaring at Zhang Baobao, "But Staff Zhang said to think about it again, wait until he figures it out.

Now, we have made a plan, but the Turks' strategy has changed again, so we have to think of it all over again. After this back and forth, the Turks on the opposite side built a bunker for a month."

"Why don't you write to me?!"

"The crime of humble duty deserves death." Zhang Baobao was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Get up, what's the use of kneeling now." Chang Shengping said while suppressing the anger in his heart. This treasure is a weakened version of Fang Xuanling. He has slow reactions and no decisiveness. When fighting, he only strives for no faults but no merit.

This can be regarded as a sign that I don't know people well: "Marching and fighting are constantly changing. If you think about everything before and after, and consider everything thoroughly, your day lily will be cold. You can attack when you are more than half sure. You should remember it."

"Yes, you have received the teachings from your humble position. You must remember the Lord's words."

Changsheng nodded, turned around and shouted: "Where is Fang Xuanling?"

Fang Xuanling rushed over: "My subordinate is here."

"Does the Turk opposite belong to Datou Khan?"

"My lord Mingjian is one of Datou Khan's amulets."

"Isn't the Fu Li Gu Part One always keeping an eye on Dunhuang?"

Fang Xuanling touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "My subordinates also just received information not long ago. Since the victory of Yiwu, several of Datou Khan's troops seem to have adjusted their strategic goals and are all heading in the direction of our Changsheng Camp.

"

It seems like those tadpoles have gone back to find their mothers, Changshengxin said.

Everyone watched Chang Sheng remain silent and did not dare to speak.

Changsheng pretended to smile relaxedly, and the immediate task was to appease the soldiers: "Master Gao, please rest assured that the Turks stationed at the northwest border of Dunhuang are Fuligu and Sijie. The total number of people in the two groups is only two.

Ten thousand, the number of combatable soldiers is only 6,000. After two failures last time, these two troops have been severely weakened. This is their defensive and early warning deployment, and they will not attack easily."

"Well, I feel relieved after hearing what General Li said." Gao Ziran's next words left Chang Sheng speechless.

"But if they are allowed to repair the bunkers and barracks, wouldn't any actions of our army be under their surveillance?"

Let me go, who says civil servants don’t understand military affairs? Changshengxin said, but before she could answer, the next fatal question came again:

"And they are hoarding food and building trenches here. They seem to plan to stay here for a long time. Is it really good to let them develop like this?"

These two questions are very critical, and neither is easy to answer. Changshengxin said who taught him this. Could it be that Gao Ziran's military level has improved by leaps and bounds during this period?

Master Gao naturally didn't know what Changsheng was thinking. He turned his head and looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "When we had a meeting last time, I remembered that Director Fang also said the third point. What did it come from?"

"For the information, Lord Supervisor, the Turks can use this as a fulcrum to build a similar fortification on this side of the river to block our army's intelligence sources." Fang Xuanling answered truthfully.

Changsheng glared at him fiercely, nnd, we have found a traitor.

It seems that we need to clarify with everyone what we can and cannot say.

Seeing Master Gao's second wave of offensive coming, Chang Sheng had to say quickly: "It is certain that the Turks do not have the ability to attack. Datou Khan has more than ten tribes that surrendered, but they are hiding in the west of Yiwu County

In the Baili, Gaochang and Linchuan areas, where they are restrained by the Dunhuang defenders, they will never be able to cross the Dunhuang defense line and attack us. With their strength alone, it is difficult to deal with General Chen Ping now."

This statement only confused Gao Ziran, who did not understand military matters. Several officers around him showed disapproval on their faces.

Fortunately, Gao Ziran really didn't understand military affairs. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "With General Li saying this, I feel completely relieved."

Changsheng hurriedly said: "I have a humble duty here. Sir Gao, just take it in your heart. Please go back to the camp first. I will take them to patrol along the river bank to see if there is any negligence."

After Gao Ziran and the two Qianniu Guards left, Changsheng gathered everyone together, briefly sketched a northwest map on the ground with a riding crop, and asked: "Do you think they will bypass Dunhuang and attack from the direction of Shanshan?!
