Chapter 36 Finally moved

Mochu was riding a fiery red horse and galloping on his horse. The war horse was extremely stable and was almost the same as walking on the flat ground. Needless to say, Mochu's riding skills were very good, and he showed various special moves from time to time, which won cheers.

When it was rising, Mochuo was happy and laughed. At this moment, a loud eagle cry came from the sky. Mochuo looked up and saw a goshawk hovering in the sky.

Mochuo took off his hard bow, put on an arrow, and shot at the goshawk. The eagle was very fast, and the sound of arrows sounded, and the layers blew into the air and rushed upwards. Suddenly, the goshawk roared and fell down like a kite with broken strings, falling in the distance.

The soldier came over and came back soon, flew out of the horse, holding up the still thrusting eagle corpse and showing off: "Khan's magic arrow, hit the eye with one arrow!"

Mochu picked it up and saw that the arrow was shooting on the left eye of the eagle, shooting the eagle head against the side. Mochu was not only a Khan of the Post-Turks, but also a famous warrior of the Post-Turks. He had superb riding skills and great archery skills. It was not difficult for him to shoot an eagle, but by chance he actually shot the eagle's eye.

No matter how good the archery technique is, it is still very difficult to shoot the Eagle Eye. The saying that you can shoot wherever you want can only exist in the writings of legends or novelists.

"Not bad, not bad!" Mochuo was very happy. When he looked at it carefully, the eagle was not small and he was a little heavy: "It's a pity that he died in my hands! He died in the hands of Ben Khan, you are not wronged!"

At this moment, a cavalry rushed over, and the person flew off the horse, knelt on the ground, and gasped: "Khan, the city of surrender has been captured!"

"Has Zhongshou Zhuo taken down the city?" Mochu's eyes suddenly opened and he laughed: "Okay! I'm shooting eagles here, Moju and Du Situ are shooting into the city! Good omen, good omen!"

The Turks were not civilized enough and were extremely superstitious about the good omens of ghosts, gods, and the ministers were also happy and came to congratulate: "Khan is blessed with great blessings! Great Turks!"

Mochuo flew off the horse and threw the eagle to his guard: "Give him a bag of horse breasts to moisten his throat, and then tell us in detail."

The guard handed over a bag of horse breasts, told the soldiers to thank them, took them, and drank them all in one breath. Mochu was in a very good mood and praised: "This is the warrior of our Great Turks. He also felt a ruthless force when drinking horse breasts! He didn't chew slowly like the Tang people, like a woman!"

These words made the ministers laugh, and then there was a sound of praise.

Mochu waved his hand, and the ministers stopped. Mochu then said, "Say, say more details." The city of Suspension City is related to the overall situation, so he naturally wants to understand it.

As soon as he responded, the soldiers said in detail: "After a few days of fierce fighting, we did not make any progress in Zhongshou Sui. Tianyou Great Turks, at the third update of last night, a fire broke out in Zhongshou Suicheng City. We took the opportunity to attack fiercely and finally drove the Tang army out of Zhongshou Suicheng City."

"There is a fire in the city?" The ministers were a little surprised, and then there was a cheer: "Heaven bless the Great Turks! Heaven bless the Great Turks!"

When the ministers calmed down, Mochu asked, "How many Tang prisoners have been captured?"

The soldier was stunned and hesitated, "Go back to Khan, no! The Tang people escaped while the chaos, and we couldn't catch up with him."

"Khan, please give the order quickly! We will hurry up and prepare to welcome the Tang army's counterattack!" The ministers urged.

"Are there any reinforcements from the Tang people these days?" Mochu frowned.

"Yes! Two groups of people have been here in total, but they are only a thousand people." The soldier said the truth: "However, when the right wing inspector pursued the defeated Tang people last night, he encountered a large group of Tang people reinforcements. It is unclear how many people were in the dark, and there were probably seven or eight thousand people."

"Seven or eight thousand?" Mochuo pondered for a while and said, "It seems that we really attacked the Tang people, Lengzi. They had not had time to transfer a large number of reinforcements. However, their reinforcements were almost here. Their purpose was to regain Zhongshou Zhucheng! The order was sent to the army to send Zhongshou Zhucheng!"

The relationship between the surrender city of China was too important. The Tang Dynasty would definitely mobilize a large army to counterattack. Only by repelling the Tang army's attacks could the Turks gain a foothold in the south of the Mo.

As soon as the order was passed, the Turkic army immediately started to move towards Yinshan. Looking from the sky, thousands of troops on the grassland north of Yinshan started to move, with their hooves sounded like thunder, and their momentum was extraordinary and extremely spectacular. After the army, hundreds of thousands of Turkic people rode horses, drove cattle and sheep, and headed towards Yinshan in chaos.

Monan is their longing for home, and cheers burst out from time to time, "Go home!"

Mochuo led a large army to Yinshan, quickly passed through the intersection, came to Shannan, and rushed to the city of surrender.

Besides, Zhang Suo, as soon as they left the city, they led Moju to chase him. He really wanted to go back to fight, but when he thought of the fight, Moju was suspicious and had to hold back. After fighting for so many years, it was not like this time. If you have the strength, you wouldn't be allowed to use it. That would feel really frustrating.

"When I see the commander, I must ask clearly!" Zhang Suo secretly made up his mind.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a team of Tang troops came and forced the Turkic army to retreat. The Tang army took advantage of the situation to chase after him until the Turkic camp and retreated. Until then, the general of the Tang army came to meet him and clasped his fists and said, "Yang Sixu met General Zhang."

The voice was sharp and sharp, which made people feel uncomfortable. Zhang Su frowned and immediately remembered that Yang Sixu was the eunuch who pacified Annan last year. Although this person was from a eunuch, he was brave and resourceful, and he was a talented person. Zhang Su hurriedly replied: "Zhang Su is grateful for the virtue of General Yang's helping hand. I thanked him here."

Yang Sixu hurriedly said, "General Zhang is so serious, it's not my help. I am on order to come to pick up General Zhang. General Zhang, the general and the army supervisor are waiting for you."

"Okay! I'll go to see the general and the military supervisor now, and ask me what they are doing," Zhang Suo slapped his forehead and clasped his fists and said, "Do you know about General Yang?"

Yang Sixu was involved in the whole process, of course he knew, but he couldn't say: "General Zhang, when you see the general and the military supervisor, you can ask yourself."

Zhang Su knew that he was so nervous that he couldn't ask, so he had to ask without asking and followed Yang Sixu to see Zhang Shougui. When he arrived at the cave, it was already dawn. Zhang Su stepped in and saw Zhang Shougui sleeping soundly on the stone. Next to him was a young man less than 20 years old, sleeping soundly.

Needless to think about it, this young man is the military supervisor. Although Zhang knew that the military supervisor was very young, he didn't expect that he was so young. He was very surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

At this moment, Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong raised their heads one after another and looked at them. Zhang Shougui stood up and laughed and said, "General Zhang, you are here! Please sit down!"

Su Zhang was busy with a greeting: "I have met the general! I have met the military supervisor!"

Zhang Shougui helped him sit down and said, "Give General Zhang a bowl of hot horse breasts to warm up your body."

"Master, I appreciate your kindness." Zhang Suo went straight to the topic: "Master, please tell me why we should do this?"

Chen Wanrong took over the conversation and said, "You are asked to do this because you want to become the number one hero in this battle!"

"Meritorious?" Zhang Su couldn't figure it out: "Military Supervisor, I've lost the battle. Can I make a contribution? It would be a blessing not to punish the military for law!"

"The military supervisor is right. We are acting in order to let Mochu go south." Zhang Shougui sat down and introduced him in detail: "Although Mochu led the troops from the country to the south this time, he would not leave until he reached the north of Yinshan Mountain, and only asked Moju to attack Sujiang City. Think about it, if Mochu could not go to Yinshan Mountain, we would not be able to start. Once we move, he would definitely escape north. By then, our difficulties would be much greater. We were trying to transfer him to cross Yinshan Mountain."

Zhang Su suddenly realized and said in a daze: "Master, have you chosen me, Zhang Su? Do you want us to act?"

Chen Wanrong took the conversation and said, "That's right! Zhongshoujiang City is the most important of the three Sujiang City, and it is very attractive to use as bait. At the beginning, we wanted to throw some urban areas for the Turks, and we could mobilize Mochu to go south. Unexpectedly, Mochu was too cunning, so he was not fooled, so he sent Dusicuo to come. We had no choice but to ask you to throw Zhongshoujiang City away."

Zhang Suo took a breath: "Master, military supervisor, can I ask a question? Whose idea is to throw away Zhongshoujiang City? It's so bold!"

He can't say it wrong about this idea, it's just that it's too bold and it can't stand it.

Zhang Shougui looked at Chen Wanrong and laughed: "Judge Supervisor, listen, some people say you are crazy! General Zhang, the military supervisor is even more courageous than you think, much greater. The military supervisor thought that if the army was unable to mobilize Mochu to go south, he would throw away the other two."

"Don't all?" Zhang Su stood up in surprise, his eyes widened, and looked at Chen Wanrong, unable to even speak.

In the era of cold weapons, cities were very good strongholds. It was easy to throw away, but difficult to retake them. Like Chen Wanrong’s idea of ​​using three cities with high strategic value to drive the enemy southward is not amazing, but it is a terrifying idea. It is impossible to be surprised if Zhang Su is not surprised.

Zhang Su felt his throat dry and asked awkwardly: "Master, military supervisor, have you mobilized Mo Chuo?"

Zhang Shougui shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, so I have to wait a moment. I guess Mochuo should receive the news."

The news that Mochu led his army south was spread to Zhang Shougui as fast as possible. After Zhang Shougui finished seeing it, his right fist hit the stone hard, and his teeth stumbled: "Mochu, Mochu, you cunning old fox, you have thousands of abilities, and you have been fooled! Military Supervisor, we succeed!"

Chen Wanrong was also excited, jumped up and smiled, "Mo Chu is moving, we should be ready to do it. The hundreds of thousands of war horses we mobilized seem to be useless."

This battle was prepared for chasing the north of Mobei. Li Longji ordered that nearly 500,000 war horses be mobilized in the north. Once they were to chase the north of Mobei, these war horses would be of great use. Now, Mochu is fooled and goes south across Yinshan Mountain, these war horses are no longer useful.

"Isn't that better?" Zhang Shougui asked back.

Chen Wanrong pondered: "When will we start closing the Internet?"

Wang Zhongsi estimated: "There are not many road entrances in Yinshan. It will take at least two to three days for Mochu's 250,000 troops to pass. After that, there will be hundreds of thousands of Turkic people, and their passing speed will be much slower, which is estimated to take five or six days. The time for us to close the Internet will be at least ten days later."

"I do this too." Zhang Shougui agreed with Wang Zhongsi's algorithm.

"Ten days later?" Chen Wanrong frowned and said, "I hope the emperor can withstand the pressure!"

In ten days, the news that Zhongshoucheng lost was enough to cause a sensation in the world. The letters from the ministers and the resentment of the people were everywhere, and Li Longji would be under great pressure.

Chen Wanrong is right, Li Longji is facing the first test since he ascended the throne.

"Report early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!" Gao Lishi shouted as usual after seeing the courtship among his ministers.

"Emperor, I have this memorial." A minister came out and raised his voice: "Emperor, I heard that Zhongshoucheng was lost. Please send troops to retake Zhongshoucheng!"

A minister immediately followed and said, "Emperor, Zhongshoujiang City is an important place for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks, and is extremely important. If Zhongshoujiang City is lost, the Tang Dynasty will face a situation of no danger to defend. Please send troops as soon as possible."

"Emperor, Zhang Shougui is young and incompetent. Chen Wanrong is less than twenty years old and has insufficient qualifications. They have self-respecting troops and will not be surrendered to the city in rescue. This is why they have such a disaster." A minister knelt on the ground and said in tears: "Your Majesty, you should be the law of the army. Replace Zhang Shougui and sue Chen Wanrong."

"The emperor, the city of surrender was lost, and the north was shaken, and the people were complaining." Another minister reported: "Your Majesty, please send General Guo to command troops to restore the decline."

Because of the great victory in Tubo, Guo Qianguan's reputation rose sharply and enjoyed a high prestige among his ministers. As they thought, they would be abandoned by the surrender city. If Guo Qianguan had no choice, he would not be able to save the defeat.

Listening to the passionate words of the ministers, Li Longji couldn't help but reach into his left sleeve. It was Chen Wanrong and others' joint letter. Li Longji thought to himself: "Chen Wanrong, you are too brave. You can think of such an idea too! You really dare to think about it! I am in a dilemma now!"

If the ministers don’t report the memorials, they just need to show Chen Wanrong and others’ letters. However, this is the highest military secret, and Li Longji will definitely not do this. He will not let the ministers know the inside story and can only fight wits with the ministers.

"I have a decision on this matter!" Li Longji said slowly: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The losses and gains of a city and a place have nothing to do with the entire situation of the war."

A minister immediately interrupted him and said, "Emperor, whether a city and a place are related to the entire situation of the war depends on the situation. Zhongshoujiang City is the core of the defense of the Tang Dynasty in the north. When Zhongshoujiang City is lost, dozens of armies of the Tang Dynasty will fall into a dilemma without any danger. Emperor, how can you be hasty in such a big event? I will ask the Emperor to sage the dictator."

"Shou? How to guard? Did I say I should guard?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and asked back.

In this battle, Li Longji demanded an attack to solve Mochu's 400,000 army. If Li Longji's strategic intention was realized, there would be no large-scale war in the entire northern region, and there would be no need to defend it at all.

However, this strategic intention cannot be said to the ministers.

However, Li Longji's rebellious question really stopped the ministers, and I don't know where to start.

Li Longji seized this opportunity and said, "I will say it again, the gains and losses of a city and a place have nothing to do with the entire battle situation. This matter is still under my control. I will not discuss this matter anymore and I will disperse the court!"

Regardless of the reactions of the ministers, they stood up and left. If they didn't avoid them, they would say endlessly: "Yao Chong, Song Jing, come on."

Yao Chong and Song Jing responded and followed.

Behind him, the unwilling call from the ministers: "Emperor! Emperor!"

When he arrived at Luanxiang Pavilion, Li Longji asked the two of them to sit down and asked, "What do you think about the incident of Zhongshou Zhucheng?"

Yao Chong replied: "Master, this matter is very serious. Zhongshou Zhuangcheng is related to the overall situation. The lost news came. Not only did the court and the central government talk and demanded that the generals be replaced. Even the people of Chang'an went out in groups to yell in groups, shouting 'Regaining Sui Zhuangcheng'. I am afraid that the people of the whole country will be in trouble and cause chaos. I have ordered Chang'an Chief to strengthen his vigilance."

"That's it!" Li Longji nodded.

Song Jing apologized and said, "Emperor, as the Minister of War, I bear unshirkable guilt. Please allow the emperor to resign."

"Resignation?" Li Longji was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Song Jing, although you are the Minister of War, you are not responsible for this matter."

There are always people who have to take responsibility for such a big thing. Song Jing, the Minister of War, has no responsibility, so who is responsible? Yao and Song couldn't help but be curious.

Li Longji took out the memorial from his sleeve and said, "All the mystery lies on this." He handed it to Yao Chong.

Yao Chong took it in his hand, and as soon as he saw it, his eyes widened: "Chen Wanrong, he is so bold, dare to seduce the enemy like this?"

Although it is a clever idea to lure the enemy by taking the city of surrender, it requires great courage. Yao Chong asked himself that he did not have the courage, so he could not be surprised.

After seeing this, Song Jing was so surprised that his eyes were almost falling out. He touched his forehead and sighed: "I always knew that Chen Wanrong was very brave, but I didn't expect that he was so brave! He was so big that he was unimaginable!"

"They were afraid that I would punish me, so they wrote a letter together!" Li Longji said in a word that Chen Wanrong and others were trying to persuade him and said, "If you really want to mobilize Mochu to go south, don't say a city of surrender, even if you throw away the entire northern land, I can withstand it. The villain's heart will judge a gentleman's belly!"

With Li Longji's talent, he would not be unable to see the benefits of this move. For land and army, of course, the army is important. As long as the army is there, the lost land and city can be taken back. Without the army, nothing will be left. As long as Mochu's army is annihilated, not to mention a mere surrender city, even the land in the north of the desert is also from the Tang Dynasty.

"Master, is there a war report coming ahead? Did Mochu go south?" Yao Chong has always been steady, but this matter is too important. It took such a great price. If Mochu was not mobilized, it would be worth it, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

Before Li Longji could speak, Gao Lishi came in with a battle report: "Your Majesty, report urgently in front of you."

He took it in his hand and said, "Mochu's army has already moved south and is passing through Yinshan. After that, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. Chen Wanrong and the others want to catch them all in one go. Not only do they want to annihilate Mochu's army, but they can't let the Turkic people escape one."

"The emperor is wise!" Yao Chong and Song Jing couldn't help but be very excited.

Li Longji said loudly: "This battle has been done, so I can guarantee that there will be no war in the north for a hundred years! What should I do? I don't need to say anything else!"
Chapter completed!
