Agai Wu wore a Han woman's skirt, climbed up to the tower on Yaogu Mountain, looked for someone at random and asked, "Where is Marshal Yang?"
The person who was stopped was Qianhu Macai under Yang Wen'an. He turned around and his eyes immediately fell on Agaiwu's plump breasts.
After taking a greedy look, he called for an interpreter and said, "Is this the eldest lady of the Daruhuachi family? What did she say?"
"Looking for a handsome man."
"Oh, the commander is upstairs. I will take you there... Just tell her and I will take her up."
Ma Cai then led Agaiwu to the top of the city tower.
The group of Yang Wen'an's soldiers who were guarding there recognized Agai Wu, but they did not stop him.
After going up the steps, Ma Cai deliberately lagged a few steps behind and stared at her round buttocks. Then he heard Yang Wen'an's voice.
Probably because he didn't notice anyone coming, Yang Wen'an was talking to a messenger and seemed a little excited.
"Does he know that as long as Zhang Jue crosses my defense line, he can follow the Qinzhidao to the Hetao? What do these Mongols have in the Hetao? Cattle and sheep! There are cattle and sheep under the Yinshan Mountain, and the main force has been brought there
The Western Regions are not enough, and the remaining troops still need to be brought to Xingqing Mansion? Give me these 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I can capture Chang'an!"
"Commander, calm down."
"How can I calm down my anger? Wherever Li Xia goes, he needs to mobilize the army to block and expose the holes in the defense line? If he had any brains, he would not make such a mistake. What's the hurry? How old is Li Zengbo? If he doesn't die in a year, he will die in two years.
Are you still alive? When the Western Region is pacified and your Majesty attacks the Tang State with all your strength, why worry about the unrest? Damn, you are a bunch of losers. If I had known this, I might as well have surrendered to Li Xia..."
When the horse heard this, he was startled and stopped quickly.
Agaiwu, who was walking in front of him, could not understand Chinese and had already stepped forward to say hello.
Yang Wen'an immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look over.
Ma Cai deliberately waited for a while, then trotted up and said: "Commander, the eldest lady of the Daruhuachi family wants to see you."
Yang Wen'an's face darkened, he raised his hand and gave Ma Cai a slap in the face, scolding: "Who told you to bring people in without permission?! Do you know it's against military law?!"
He has always been very strict in managing the army. Whenever anyone wants to see confidential military affairs, he must inform them first. This is a common practice.
"Commander, calm down, I know I was wrong."
Ma Cai's heart trembled, and he realized at this moment that he had forgotten the military rules in order to look at women.
If it were normal, he would only be alert.
However, today I saw that Yang Wen'an and Agawu were obviously having an affair, and the slap on the face made people feel a little angry...
"You all go down," Yang Wen'an said.
"yes."
Ma Cai responded. When he lowered his head, he glanced at the map and found that Yang Wen'an had made a strange mark.
He retreated from the tower, returned to the barracks, found his map, and drew it based on Yang Wen'an's map.
An arrow starts from Chang'an, like a Tang army marching north, and goes north to Yan'an. It draws a circle at Ansai City and then continues north. After arriving at Hetao, it draws a big circle.
"The commander-in-chief thinks that the Tang army may want to occupy the Hetao?" Ma Cai murmured.
Then he drew the arrow eastward, all the way to Yanjing.
This is what he doesn't understand the most.
"After the Tang army occupied the Hetao, did they directly attack Yanjing? Why did the commander think so?"
After thinking about it, Ma Cai suddenly got excited and reacted.
Even his small family knew that many nobles from the Central Plains were secretly flirting with Li Xia.
Then, once the Tang army captured Hetao, it would be easy to march eastward to Yanjing. And after capturing Yanjing, Hebei would easily surrender without a fight under the leadership of Shihou Zhang Rou.
As a result, Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong were completely surrounded by the Tang army.
To put it simply, it was like Dayuan's waist was cut off by a horizontal cut. As long as the Tang army captured the Hetao, they could really see the hope of unifying the world...
The problem is that such a great strategic idea has never been mentioned before, and no one has ever gone to Li Xia.
Instead, he, a small Qianhu, saw the opportunity?
No, it was Yang Wen'an who discovered it.
In the past, Li Xia never had the possibility of winning the Loop, but now he has.
Ma Cai swallowed, and then he understood why Yang Wen'an dared to be so angry at a clan king, and why he said "it's better to vote for Li Xia".
"Is the situation really going to change?"
~~
On the tower, Yang Wen'an looked at Agaiwu with a very unhappy expression on his face and said, "What are you doing here?"
Agawu held up the hem of the skirt with both hands, turned it around in a circle, and asked: "I know you prefer Han people's clothes. Let me wear it for you. Do you want to come over and take it off?"
"Do you want everyone to know that we are having an affair?"
"I know that the whole city belongs to you, and no one will tell Nang Sidan." Agai Wu stepped forward and hugged Yang Wen'an, saying, "I wanted to trap you. Last night..."
Yang Wen looked at her comfortingly, as if looking at a fool, and said in surprise: "Do you know that we are completely surrounded by the Tang army?"
"So what? Even if I die, I will die with you and enjoy enough happiness."
"I will not die, I will defeat Zhang Jue."
"You defeat me first."
"Tsk."
Yang Wen'an impatiently shook off Agayu's hand and walked to the map, holding it with both hands, looking increasingly unhappy.
He hoped that he was not the only one on Dayuan's side to see that the situation at this time was full of crises.
Li Xia was like an assassin who quietly laid out his killing moves and then suddenly attacked the Loop when everyone thought he was unprepared. He was also like a skilled chess player who clumsily arranged his chess pieces.
Bu Bu Bu Bu suddenly surrounded and killed a big dragon.
The question is, how many people in the entire Yuan Dynasty knew that the Hetao was dangerous?
Not even that idiot Tachaer who led the troops to Xingqing Mansion knew about it!
Over the past month, Zhang Jue has continued to increase his troops, and his ambitions towards Hetao have become clear...
While Yang Wen'an was thinking about this, Agaiwu had already stepped forward, hugged him from behind, unhooked his belly, and tried to put his hand into his crotch.
"Your husband Nang Sidan is with King Zhao, right?" Yang Wen'an asked.
"Don't mention that disgusting Nang Sidan."
"King Zhao is preparing to marry Princess Yue Lie, right?"
"yes."
"I wrote a letter to Nang Sidan and asked him to deliver it to King Zhao..."
~~
Yan'an Prefecture.
Groups of chariots and horses were entering the city from the south. The clattering of chariots and the rustling of horses stirred up dust all over the sky, making it look extremely lively.
"These are bows and arrows, where are they unloaded?!"
"In that earthen kiln."
"Take the torch away! Take it away! Do you know what this is? Just dare to use the torch to get in... Also, is your cellar damp?"
"The food is coming! The food is coming!"
"Hahaha, this is this year's new rice..."
From the northwest, a group of cavalry came galloping like the wind. They rushed to the city before raising a flag, but it was a big "Zhang".
"The commander-in-chief is back, open the city gate."
The defenders on the top of the city took a look and quickly opened the city gate.
"Hush!"
After entering the city, Zhang Jue reined in the reins, dismounted, threw his helmet to the soldiers, and strode towards the generals who were reinforcing Yan'an Prefecture.
"Hahahaha, my brother Liu is here!"
"Brother Zhang, haha, I followed you to fight, you have to let me make some contributions."
Liu Jinsuo stepped forward and gave Zhang Jue a bear hug. He turned around and pointed at the rice bag on the carriage and said, "Commander, I heard that this autumn's new grain is so fragrant."
Zhang Jue took a deep breath, felt very happy, and asked: "Young masters, are you willing to give this food to me, Mr. Zhang, to fight?"
"What the commander said. What are you reluctant to give up? In previous years, they just set aside food for disaster relief, but they have all said that if they eat it themselves, if they can save an extra grain, they must set it aside to recover the mountains and rivers. .”
"Ha, Brother Liu turns out to be so good at talking."
"What I, the idiot Liu, can say is what my husband-in-law said, so I will follow suit."
Zhang Jue nodded and said: "I understand. If I were a civil servant, I would have to put safety first and plan to fight more. Seriously, in the past in Zhao and Song Dynasty, there was no need for civil servants to discuss with us."
"Hey, aren't you a military commander?"
"I didn't expect the princes to be so talkative this time. I'm afraid they have extra food and grass and have sent all the troops here, right?"
"Absolutely." Liu Jinsuo held his stomach with both hands, strode away, and said, "I didn't expect it. I just hit him."
"I think it's precisely because His Majesty is not in Chang'an." Zhang Jue said: "If Your Majesty is in Chang'an, the princes will definitely persuade him to be ready before starting the war. On the contrary, if His Majesty is not here, the princes will have to make every effort to fight. Shoot down the river."
"Can it be beaten down?"
"It's easy to talk about things on the battlefield." Zhang Jue said more solemnly: "If we only look at the troop layout of the Yuan army, there is a chance of winning. But they cannot stand still, and the enemy chiefs will definitely not sit back and watch, and there will definitely be changes. It’s hard to say.”
Liu Jinsuo was too lazy to think about this. He patted his chest and said, "Anyway, I will fight as the commander-in-chief says."
Just at this time, a trusted general of Zhang Jue hurried over, leaned into Zhang Jue's ear, and whispered: "Commander, someone in Ansai City shot a letter and arrow for us. It was a thousand households, saying they were willing. Surrender."
"Tell me why."
"Yang Daji has been recruiting these people for us, and it must be working..."
Zhang Jue frowned, smiled and said, "It's not just that."
He waved his hand and did not talk about the matter for the time being. Instead, he patted Liu Jinsuo on the back and laughed: "No wonder His Majesty always calls you a lucky general."
"Haha, of course!"
~~
Ten days later, Hetao Grassland.
An urgent letter was delivered to the tent of Nang Sidan, a small leader of Wanggu tribe.
Nang Sidan was half drunk. He opened the letter and read it, "ha" and laughed out loud.
"It's ridiculous to say that the Tang army could hit the Loop. Oh, Yang Wen'an, a Han Chinese, always thinks he is so smart and brave, but in fact he is just a driver, a driver..."
Nang Sidan cursed and cursed, and gradually became a little sad.
When he was really in Ansai City, he was actually quite afraid of Yang Wen'an.
Perhaps this is why I refuse to acknowledge the content of this letter.
"There's no more wine, go get some more."
You Meiji came out of the tent with a wine bag in her hands. She turned around and saw many fast horses galloping towards her in the distance.
"It's not good! King Tacha'er is retreating from defeat. He asked the leaders to recruit herdsmen to reinforce him..."
