Tuya Tutun was also a man of good temper, and said: "We traveled day and night, worried that we would not be able to catch up. Fortunately, the general has persisted till now. If we talk about magic soldiers, the soldiers under the general are the magic soldiers."
At this moment, I saw several horses galloping over, and the one in front was none other than Yuwen Chengchao.
When Qin Xiao saw Yu Wen Chengchao, he felt deeply in his heart. He saw Yu Wen Chengchao dismounted from his horse, came over and bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry that the rescue was late, please forgive me, the general!"
"Lieutenant Yuwen, let me introduce you." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "This is Tuya Tutun, the old hero of Zhenyu tribe. Old hero, this is my arm Yuwen Chengchao."
Yuwen Chengchao and Tuya Tutun immediately saluted each other.
"If the old hero hadn't rushed thousands of miles to come to our aid, the consequences would have been disastrous." Yuwen Chengchao also expressed gratitude: "We, Long Ruijun, will definitely remember the friendship between the True Feathers."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The old hero came here day and night, and after another bloody battle, he is very tired. Tuya Tutun, please take a good rest for a while, and after we finish cleaning up the battlefield, we will get drunk again before resting."
Tuya Tutun laughed, bowed and left, going to sort out his team first.
"Is everything okay, General?" Yuwen Chengchao asked with concern when he saw that there were blood stains on Qin Xiao's armor.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, eldest son, where is Jiping...?"
Yuwen Chengchao immediately gave an overview of the war in Jiping. He did not brag about himself and told the truth. However, attacking the enemy camp at night and defeating Tang Kaijia was unbelievable. Even if he did not add any exaggeration, it would still be shocking.
"The eldest son is really an unparalleled warrior." Qin Xiao praised: "If you hadn't sent someone to remind me in time, I would have really fallen into the trap of the Liaodong Army. If I fell into the trap, the undead army would definitely coordinate the attack and would not be so polite.
.”
Yu Wencheng said: "That Donglin Khan is also a cunning person. He should have realized that the situation in the Northeast is unclear and does not want to directly enmity with us. However, he led his army to Shunjin and waited to see the sage's edict.
.”
"That's just to find a way to retreat." Qin Xiao smiled faintly, "The Undead Army is the foundation of the Bu Liuda Department. How could it be easily compromised for the sake of the Liaodong Army? Maybe from the beginning, the Undead Army was just to build momentum.
Come. He retreats to Shunjin, Huangfu Yunzhao will definitely not let them enter the city."
Yu Wencheng said: "In the Battle of Longba, Huangfu Yunzhao will soon figure out the truth. He will know that the Undead Army abandoned the Liaodong Army and retreated. Huangfu Yunzhao will definitely not trust such an ally. What the general said
Yes, Huangfu Yunzhao will definitely not let the undead army enter the city one by one."
"If this is really the case, it is Zhengdong Donglin Khan's plan." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Without being able to enter the city, Donglin Khan would have an excuse to withdraw to Modong. When Wang Xingchao asked, he could have said that Huangfu Yunzhao insulted the undead army.
They were not allowed to enter the city, so they had no choice but to withdraw."
Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said: "To be honest, General, I was really worried that the Undead Army would make a desperate attempt to attack the True Feather Cavalry. These two groups have always been mortal enemies. When they meet on the battlefield, they must be extremely jealous.
Logically speaking, the Undead Army would not turn a deaf ear to this opportunity. However, Donglin Khan is indeed not a simple person. He is actually a character who can endure without moving."
When Qin Xiao walked over, he saw that the soldiers were taking care of the battlefield, collecting war horses and weapons. Prisoners of the Liaodong Army were also temporarily imprisoned in the enclosure. Many wounded were also being treated for their injuries with the help of their companions, and the corpses everywhere were being cleaned up. He walked to the side
I sat down on the mound and looked up at the sky. It was already evening, and under the setting sun, the color was bloody.
Yu Wen Chengchao had been working hard for days, and his iron body could not hold on any longer. At this moment, he was also exhausted. At Qin Xiao's greeting, he also sat down on the mound.
"My lord, the speed of the True Feather Cavalry rushing to the rescue is really beyond my expectation." Qin Xiao looked at the True Feather Cavalry who were also cleaning up the battlefield. The Liaodong Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the True Feather Cavalry also suffered many casualties.
He sighed with emotion: "They really tried their best this time, and the casualties were heavy. We will also care deeply for the dead and injured when we look back."
Yuwen Chengchao thought for a moment and then said: "General, although the True Feather Cavalry has helped a lot this time,...it seems that it is not a good thing that the two major tribes of Xile are involved in the Northeast War."
"I understand what you mean." Qin Xiao said: "Are you worried that the Xile people will extend their hands to the Tang Dynasty?"
Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly and said: "Exactly. Throughout history, foreigners involved in wars in the Central Plains will often cause disasters later." After a pause, he said: "Foreign barbarians are fierce and good at fighting, and many people like to make them servant soldiers.
Horses, using them to conquer hostile forces. To be honest, these foreign soldiers and horses were used to a great extent, and some people even became dependent on this force in the end, and then allowed foreign forces to take advantage of the situation.
If it is too big, the tail will not fall off, and it will eventually cause greater harm."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and Yu Wen Chengchao said in a low voice: "I know that the general and the Zhenyu tribe have a good relationship, but... in the end, many things cannot be controlled by personal relationships. Any force, if
If there is an opportunity to expand and strengthen, we will not miss it. The Zhenyu people are indeed kind to us this time, but we still have to be wary of them in the future and be more careful. We must not let them develop their strength just because they have made great achievements.
"
"Eldest Young Master, their bloody battle is certainly to save us, but in fact it is also to save themselves." Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said softly: "If my guess is correct, Zhen Yubu must have eyes and ears on Bu Liuda's side.
, and have been paying close attention to the movements of the Undead Army. We are far away in western Liaoning and know nothing about the whereabouts of the Undead Army, but the Undead Army secretly mobilized into Liaodong, and the Zhenyu Department must have received the message."
Yuwen Cheng said: "General, are you saying that the True Feathers received information about the mobilization of the Undead Army and responded immediately?"
"You and I both know the situation of the Zhenyu tribe." Qin Xiao sighed: "The place of the Fourth War is full of dangers. Xile's He Gu, Bu Liuda, the Tusun tribes of the Monan Prairie, plus Wang Xingchao
None of the Liaodong Army is easy to deal with. The reason why Zhenyu can conclude silk and horse trade with us is not because of my deep friendship with them, but because in order to survive, they must have allies who can buffer them." He looked up.
After looking at the sky, he continued: "The Undead Army was transferred to Liaodong by Wang Xingchao. After the Zhenyu people get the information, they will definitely realize the purpose of mobilizing the Undead Army."
Yuwen Chengchao naturally understood and said: "The Zhenyu people are worried that the Undead Army will assist the Liaodong Army to defeat us. If our army is defeated by the Liaodong Army and the Liaodong Army regains control of the four northeastern counties, it will naturally be a problem for the Zhenyu Department.
The consequences could be disastrous."
"That's right." Qin Xiao said: "If we retreat into the pass and the Liaodong Army regains control of western Liaoning, then Black Mountain will naturally fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army." He turned to look at Yuwen Chengchao and said calmly: "At that time
, the real feather tribe will be in trouble."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly.
When the Liaodong Army controlled Heishan, it also took control of the Heishan Trading Ground. Nowadays, the transactions in the Heishan Trading Ground are in full swing. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water are first served, and the one who benefits the most is naturally the Zhen Yubu.
In fact, both Long Ruijun and the Zhenyu tribe benefit greatly from the existence of the Black Mountain Trading Ground.
The silk and horse trade between the Zhenyu tribe and the Long Rui Army has naturally angered the Liaodong Army.
Once the Liaodong Army regains control of the four northeastern counties, its next target will inevitably be the Zhen Yubu.
The Liaodong Army that controls Montenegro will pose a fatal threat to the Zhenyu tribe, both economically and militarily.
Of course the Zhenyu people understand this, so for the Zhenyu tribe, under the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to watch the Long Rui army be defeated by the Liaodong army. The defeat of the Long Rui army means that the Zhenyu tribe will definitely
Disaster is coming.
Therefore, the True Feathers rushed to the rescue urgently and even fought bloody battles with the Liaodong cavalry. The reason was to protect Long Rui's army and then the True Feathers.
Naturally, Qin Xiao and Yu Wenchengchao already understood the key points.
"Those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes should be punished." Yuwen Chengchao thought for a moment and then said: "The general represents the Tang Dynasty. Since Zhen Yu has made military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, he must be rewarded."
Qin Xiao said: "Of course I want to reward you, but it's not the right time yet."
"What do you mean, General?"
Before Qin Xiao could speak, he saw Jiang Xiaochun coming over on horseback. He turned over and dismounted. Qin Xiao stood up and said with a smile: "General Jiang Lang!"
"The humble general pays homage to the great general!"
Just as Jiang Xiaochun was about to salute, Qin Xiao stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Xiaochun said: "After General Gu sent us out, we traveled day and night. We didn't dare to delay on the way. Fortunately, we arrived in time."
"What's the situation now with General Gu?"
"Back to the general, General Gu has already mobilized all his troops and attacked Shunjin City." Jiang Xiaochun said: "If nothing unexpected happens, General Gu should be at the foot of Shunjin City now."
Qin Xiao and Yu Wencheng looked at each other. In fact, they both guessed that at this time, Gu Baiyi would definitely send troops to contain Huangfu Yunzhao.
"General Jiang Lang, the True Feather Cavalry...?" Although Yuwen Chengchao guessed the reason why the True Feather Cavalry sent troops this time, he still wanted to know the specific details.
Jiang Xiaochun explained: "Before the general sent people to surprise Jiping, he sent someone to deliver a letter to General Gu. By the time General Gu received the letter, the general had already sent troops from Guangning, and it was too late for General Gu to stop him."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "This is my fault. I originally thought that there would be no big problem in attacking a county town by surprise, so I didn't discuss it with General Gu in advance."
"General Gu did not say that there was anything wrong with the general's plan this time. He only said that the attack on Jiping City this time might be the key to breaking the situation." Jiang Xiaochun said: "In fact, when I received the letter from the general, the Tuya of the True Feather Division
Tutun has led his troops to the border area. Tuya Tutun personally rushed to the grassland and met with General Gu. Tuya Tutun brought us a surprising news at that time, that is, Bu Liuda's undead army had secretly gone to Liaodong
, this is the intelligence provided by the informants planted by the real feather people on Bu Liuda's side."
Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao looked at each other again. It seemed that the truth was indeed as they expected. The real feather people had been closely monitoring the undead army.
