"Jin Feng is Baron Qingshui of Dakang, and is currently the guard commander of Princess Chen Wen'er of Dakang."
The old man replied, stroking his beard.
"Oh, I remembered it. It was rumored that Chen Wen'er was a romantic by nature and had an affair with a baron named He Feng. Before going to Tubo, he had a private meeting with this baron for several days. I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect it to be true.
.”
Danzhu suddenly said: "Chen Wen'er is also shameless and actually recruited his concubine as the guard commander. Is it convenient for him to do so?"
"I dare to use my head to guarantee that Chen Wen'er and Jin Feng are not who they are in the rumors. General, please don't be blinded by the rumors, let alone underestimate them because of this!"
The old man said: "General Sanji lost Mao'er Mountain and his own life just because he despised Chen Wen'er and Jin Feng."
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Wu!"
Danzhu cupped his hands and said.
The old man's name was Wu Zhe, and he was Danzhu's military advisor.
Tubo is located on a plateau, with harsh living conditions and tough folk customs. The education level of the people is far lower than that of Dakang.
When Danzhu fought in the past, he only knew how to fight on horseback. It was not until he met Wu Zhe, a scholar from Dakang who lived on the plateau, that he began to learn to use his brain to fight.
In the following ten years, with the assistance of Wu Zhe, Danzhu won successively.
Wu Zhe is indispensable to Danzhu's achievements today.
Therefore, Danzhu also has great trust and respect for Wu Zhe.
"Before the army set off, I took a Dakang man named Feng Sheng to see the general. Does the general remember it?" Wu Zhe asked.
"Remember, he is a talkative person." Danzhu said with a frown.
After Feng Sheng fled to Tubo, he kept running around, trying to get acquainted with senior Tibetan officials and get close to Gada through these senior officials.
But the Tubo people were not interested in him, and Feng Sheng encountered obstacles everywhere.
Wu Zhe was also a Han Chinese, but he received Feng Sheng several times and even took him to see Danzhu once.
It's a pity that Danzhu felt that Feng Sheng was not trustworthy, so he just said a few words and excused himself to see the guest off.
"What about Feng Sheng? Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about Jin Feng."
Wu Zhe said: "Before coming, Feng Sheng reminded me many times to be careful about this person. At first, I thought Feng Sheng was exaggerating, but later, just to be on the safe side, I sent someone to investigate and found that Jin Feng was indeed not a simple person.
The heavy crossbows and catapults that trouble Sir were made by this person!"
"It turns out it's him!" Danzhu gritted his teeth.
The reason why he never launched a general attack was because of the heavy crossbows and catapults on the Xichuan city wall.
The power of these two weapons is much greater than ordinary arrows.
If we send troops to attack hard, even if we can capture Xichuan City, the Tibetan cavalry will suffer heavy losses.
"In addition to Jin Feng's ability to make weapons, his skills in battle formations should not be underestimated."
Wu Zhe asked: "In the spring, Dangxiang and Dakang fought in Qingshui Valley outside Weizhou City. Has the general heard about it?"
"I know," Danzhu nodded: "The Dangxiang people lost, but Dakang increased his annual tribute."
There had been internal fighting in Tubo for many years. Gada originally wanted to recuperate and had no plans to start another war with Dakang.
It was after hearing about this incident that Gada made up his mind to look for opportunities to attack Dakang.
"After arriving in Xichuan, I sent people to collect intelligence. It was Jin Feng who defeated the party members in Qingshui Valley."
Wu Zhe said: "General, does he know how many people he used to defeat Wanfang Xiang Cavalry?"
"How much?" Danzhu asked.
"Less than three thousand infantry!"
"Impossible!" Danzhu immediately shook his head.
Due to backward communication, although Danzhu heard about the Battle of Qingshui Valley, he never got the detailed battle process.
But Danzhu has been fighting for half his life and knows what it means to have over ten thousand cavalry.
Not to mention three thousand infantry, even thirty thousand infantry would be difficult to defeat ten thousand cavalry.
"When I first heard about it, I thought it was impossible, but later I asked Seisaku to collect information about this battle, and I found out that it was true."
Wu Zhe said and took out a piece of information from his arms.
The intelligence recorded the battle of Qingshui Valley in detail.
After Danzhu read it, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said: "I didn't know there was such a strange person in the world before. No wonder he killed three thousand of my troops without spending a single soldier. His methods are really unheard of!"
Wu Zhe stroked his beard and smiled happily.
He said so much just to remind Danzhu not to underestimate the enemy.
Now it seems that his reminder worked.
The two discussed some more strategies, and Wu Zhe didn't leave until midnight.
As a result, the next day, before dawn, Wu Zhe came again.
"Sir, what happened?"
Danzhu asked while getting dressed.
If there was nothing wrong, Wu Zhe wouldn't be able to disturb him so early.
"General, I just received news that Chen Wen'er abandoned Mao'er Mountain and took Meng Tianhai's troops to rush to Xichuan Fucheng." Wu Zhe said anxiously.
"Is Chen Wen'er crazy?" Danzhu stopped what he was doing, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The two of them discussed matters in Mao'er Mountain at midnight last night.
Mao'er Mountain is the most suitable terrain for defense from Jinma River to Xichuan City.
That's why Qing Xinyao sent Meng Tianhai to ambush Danzhu in Mao'er Mountain.
Danzhu and Wu Zhe both believed last night that the Ninth Princess would definitely lead Meng Tianhai's troops to continue to blockade Mao'er Mountain and cut off the retreat of the Tibetan army.
But who knew that just a few hours later, they would be slapped in the face.
The Ninth Princess actually gave up the favorable terrain that she had finally regained and headed towards Xichuan Mansion.
Danzhu really couldn't understand what the ninth princess was thinking.
"Sir, should we send someone to stop them?"
This thought flashed through Danzhu's mind: "Now Chen Wen'er only has Meng Tianhai's troops in his hands, and he has given up the favorable terrain. This is a good opportunity to kill Chen Wen'er and Jin Feng!"
"No!" Wu Zhe said: "Meng Tianhai's group has thousands of people. If we want to destroy them quickly, we must dispatch at least the same number of people to be sure.
At this time, the army has its own tasks. Once thousands of troops are mobilized, problems will occur in many places. If Qing Xinyao takes people out of the city again, the consequences will be difficult to predict!
The old man believes that Meng Tianhai took the initiative to abandon Mao'er Mountain, probably because he wanted to lure the general into dividing his troops."
"What do you mean, sir?" Danzhu asked.
"Ignore them," Wu Zhe said: "Now that all the favorable terrain around Xichuan Mansion is in our hands, Meng Tianhai took the initiative to attack us just to seek death. No matter what he wants to do, we just need to remain unchanged in response to any changes.
"
Wu Zhe continued: "If they want to lure us, we ignore them, and they will return to Mao'er Mountain. If they really want to fight, we occupy a favorable terrain and wait for work. It will save more effort than taking the initiative to intercept them, and the chance of winning will be lower."
Bigger!"
"It makes sense!" Danzhu nodded slightly: "Then just do as the teacher said and ignore them!"
