Chapter 92: The Battle (1)

The battle situation in Longyou has now formed a very strange situation.

Li Zhong led 20,000 troops missing. Huang Qiu abandoned Langzhou and led more than 47,000 soldiers to retreat to Taozhou to prevent Tubo from entering the east to enter the pass. Yuwen Zhen also gave up Shanzhou and led 10,000 defenders from Shanzhou and Guanzhou. In addition, the 20,000 soldiers in his hands, a total of 30,000 soldiers went to Huizhou, gathered the local 10,000 defenders, a total of 40,000 troops, defended the city, and prevented Tubo from going south to enter the pass or Bashu.

Ma Wu led the 30,000 troops and the 30,000 soldiers left by Li Zhong, and a total of 60,000 troops retreated to Zhike County, 300 miles east of Liangzhou to prevent Tubo from going north to Anbei. After all, the Hu tribe in Mobei has already gone to unification, with strong power and strong troops. In recent years, it has been eyeing the Central Plains. Li Zhong took away 50,000 people, and only more than 100,000 people remained in Anbei. Once Tubo contacted the Hu tribe in Mobei, formed an alliance, and attacked the front and back, Anbei was in danger.

Ma Wu led an army of 50,000 to station in Zhike County. While strengthening the fortifications, he sent wide rangers to closely monitor Tubo's every move.

Li Xun led 10,000 troops from the headquarters to escort hundreds of thousands of people and retreated to Yunzhou.

Shanzhou.

Gewa Morong had a 100,000 army in his hand. He himself led 20,000 soldiers to garrison the city of Shanzhou. The remaining 80,000 soldiers were led by the deputy general and his nephew Gewa Fide, and set up camp ten miles outside the city.

In the Central Army's tent, a man in his thirties was walking back and forth there. He was short and had small faces and eyes. He looked ordinary, but his left face was covered with scars, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

This person was Gewa Lefide. He lived in Fengjing for many years in his youth and could speak fluent Chinese until the 11th year of Guangyuan, when Gewa Lefide was twenty-one years old, he was approved by Emperor Zhao Zhi of the Great Jin Dynasty. He left Fengjing and returned to Tufan. The scar on his face was given by the powerful and noble children of the Great Jin Dynasty at a banquet. Therefore, Gewa Lefide hated Da Jin to the core and always wanted to take revenge on Da Jin to avenge the humiliation that year.

Not far from Gewashende, there was a Han man in his fifties sitting. He was Gewashende's confidant adviser, named Lai Zonghan. He was once a Jinshi and was an official in the local area. Later, he was dismissed from office and exiled to Langzhou, Longyou for his crimes. He was bullied by local officials and soldiers, and he died several times. Later, he fled into Tufan and became a slave. He was discovered by Gewashende for a long conversation. Gewashende was shocked by his talent and paid to redeem him. Since then, he has been with him, and has been taken as a confidant and obeyed his words. Lai Zonghan was grateful to Gewashende for saving his life and knowing his feelings. He also followed him wholeheartedly and made suggestions for him. Gewashende was able to stand out from his family in less than ten years and master military power and status second only to his uncle Gewa Morong. Lai Zonghan played an extremely important role in it.

The entire Tufan has a population of about 6 million, and there are three million noble families, which means that they have more than one million people, including the army and the people. The Gawa family is one of them.

In fact, the current political structure of Tufan is somewhat similar to that of the Great Jin Dynasty. The decline of royal power and the rise of family power have reached a point where it can control the major policies of the entire country. More than half of the country's population is directly controlled by the three major families, and the taxes are not as good as those of the court. Ninety percent of the 500,000 troops are in the hands of the three major families. If it weren't for the Buddhist leader of Tufan, Erdeni, Panchen Lama, always stood on the side of the Zamp royal family, I'm afraid that Tufan's Zamp royal power would have changed dynasties long ago.

"See General."

A soldier rushed into the tent and knelt down to salute.

"What do Zamp say?"

Gwathedra raised his soldiers and asked anxiously.

"The things Zamp wants to say are written on it."

The soldier took out a piece of brocade from his arms, handed it to Gawashide, and then retreated.

Gawalid opened the brocade and looked carefully. The look of expectation on his face slowly turned into disappointment. After reading the contents inside, Gawalid tear the brocade into pieces, threw it hard on the ground, and shouted angrily: "A group of rats who only care about fighting for power and profit."

Lai Zonghan's face changed, and he hurriedly got up and came to the door of the big tent, and said to the guards: "Retreat thirty feet behind, and no one is allowed to get close to the big tent."

"yes!"

Hundreds of soldiers immediately spread out and retreated a hundred meters away when they heard this.

"Lord, be careful of the ears of the walls, be careful of your words!"

Lai Zonghan walked to Gawa-Jide and persuaded him bitterly.

"So what if I'm heard? What can Zamp do to me?"

Gwashode roared.

"If Gvamorong heard these words, he would probably be dissatisfied with his lord."

Lai Zonghan shook his head, without saying anything, and directly said the point. Sure enough, after hearing this, Gewa Bide's face changed slightly, and he groaned twice, and walked to the side and sat down, but his face was still ugly.

Although Gwashoude was born in the Gwa family, his parents' status was not high. Even Gwashoude himself was the same. The young man was sent to Fengjing as a qualifier and almost died. After years of hard work and many efforts, he had difficulty reaching his current status. Even so, Gwashoude's foundation in the family is not very deep. Several of the highest levels in the family completely influenced his future and destiny. For example, Gwashouron wanted to deprive Gwashoude of military power in just one sentence.

Lai Zonghan walked closer, poured him a cup of tea, and said in a low voice: "Zanpu disagrees with the lord's suggestion?"

Gawashide had a cold face and said nothing. Not only did he not agree, but he scolded him in a very severe tone, scolding Gawashide for being frivolous, arrogant, and arrogant, and proposing major military affairs.

Gewalitai received a report from the Ma Ma. The Jin army stationed in Liangzhou retreated to Zhike County. Gewalitaitai immediately informed his uncle Gewa Morong, leading a large army to attack Zhike County, and at the same time contacted the Hu tribes in Mobei, allowing him to advance to Anbei, making him unable to go south to rescue. After destroying the Jin army in Zhike County, he will join forces with the Hu tribes in Mobei, attacking each other forward and backward to capture Anbei.

Such a good suggestion was actually rejected by Gevamorong, and only 5,000 troops were sent to Liangzhou. The remaining troops continued to garrison Shanzhou and remained unmoved.

Then the explorer came to report again. The hundreds of thousands of people who retreated to Zhike County were slowly heading towards Yunzhou under the escort of 10,000 Jin troops. Gewashide advised Gewamorong again, allowing himself to lead 30,000 troops and take a detour to intercept the team. Gewamorong led 50,000 troops to ambush the side. Wait for the Jin troops in Zhike County to come to rescue, and take the opportunity to raid and win a great victory.

This suggestion was flatly rejected by Gewa Morong and told Gewa Mode to capture the four states of Longyou. He had already gained great gains. There was no need to take risks to fight against the Jin army. Once defeated, Zanpu would definitely use this as an excuse to deprive him of military power. The meaning was very clear. Everyone understood Zanpu's intention this time was to send troops. It was already an unexpected surprise for everyone to win the military power of Shanzhou and Liangzhou. He was very satisfied and did not want to take risks anymore. He just held the army in Shanzhou and watched the situation coldly, watching Zanpu and Delongpikang attacked Huizhou. He succeeded and took the opportunity to gain benefits. If he failed, he would not lose any loss to him.

Gwasaege could not convince his uncle. Unwilling to give up, he crossed Gwamorong and sent someone to Langzhou to meet Zanpu, and expressed his suggestions and strategies in person. Who would have thought that Zanpu had no intention of the overall situation and was short-sighted. He was not moved at all about Gwasaegege's suggestions. Instead, he became suspicious and flatly rejected all Gwasaege's strategies and scolded them severely.
