After a pause, Li Luo continued: "As a general, we often have thousands of soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy. If we make a mistake, I don't know how many parents will be unable to see their sons again, and how many daughters will have only I can weep and feel sad. In my heart, there is no distinction between high and low among the people of the world. We can still leave a residual name. There are so many heroes, but there are not even tombstones. Li Luo does not ask for it. He thinks, just marching in the future, one more point. If you think about it, it will be enough to reduce the number of casualties. “
There was silence in the tent. Huchajing and Helianchengxian had regretful expressions on their faces. Shen Xiangdong raised his head and looked at Li Luo quietly, with strange colors flashing in his eyes. Li Luo also felt that what he said seemed too serious. He laughed loudly and said: "On the battlefield, it is difficult to have a general who is always victorious. Don't take it to heart. Qiang Xingzhi is now alone in Moxia City. It is difficult to achieve anything. Even if it is a small victory, it is difficult to cause anything in Dizhou. A wave of trouble came. All the troops regrouped and surrounded and annihilated the Qingzhu tribe of the Qiang first. The weather in May was rough and the weather was rough. Let's see how long the Qiang Xingzhi could hold out in Moxia City. The soldiers who entered Moxia City first, Marshal Di and I Remember his merit."
"I will obey the order." All the generals accepted the order in unison and exited the tent.
Only Di Jie and Shen Xiangdong were left in the tent. When Di Jie saw the generals leaving the camp, he stood up, looked at Li Luo, patted Li Luo on the shoulder, and walked out of the Chinese army tent with a big smile.
Li Luo sighed slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Shen, am I a woman's benevolent person?"
Shen Xiangdong walked up to Li Luo, smiled slightly and said, "Some of the generals in the camp may think so, but I think it sounds very comfortable to me." After saying a salute, he also exited the Chinese army's tent.
Li Luo smiled silently, sat down slowly, and whispered to himself: "I am just a duplicitous person."
May twenty-two.
The crisis brought military news, and the Hui-Mongolian troops attacked Linxia City. Mou Zhao had no strength to resist and could only barely hold on to the isolated city. The situation was urgent, and the Hui-Mongolian army wanted to capture Linxia before Li Luo encircled and annihilated the Qiang. Now the two sides The army still has an alliance, but Linxia City is besieged on all sides by the Hui-Mongolian army. It is not easy to send troops without authorization at this critical moment. It is urgent to report to Li Luo to make a decision.
Several Dagan armies in Dizhou surrounded Moxia City tightly. They only defended but did not attack. The Qiang people could take advantage of the situation to break out. If they could pass through the military formation of the Hu Qi camp led by Ding Zhan, they could cross over. Lu Shui passed through the southwest of Dizhou and was quite sure to return to Yingchou Gorge. However, he could not leave behind Qiang Qingzhu and 60,000 Xirong soldiers, so he missed the opportunity. If there was another battle, the Dagan formation was ready. In the past few days, the Qiang marched He sent his troops out to fight and looked for opportunities. Li Luo ordered all the troops to strictly guard and not to follow orders. They must not respond to the battle without authorization and remain unchanged in response to changes. The Qiang were suffering without a good plan. People in Moxia City were panicked and did not know what Li Luo's plan would be.
May twenty-seven.
Yun Wuyan led his army to attack Qiang Qingzhu's headquarters for several days. Qiang Qingzhu could not resist, so he led the remaining troops of Xirong's left army, bypassed Yun Wuyan's army, and took a road to Hui Chi, but was rejected by Hui Chi and fled in all directions. Li Luo urgently ordered Shi Wei and Zhou Linhan to guard the north and south of Guannan Town. Qiang Qingzhu was pursued by troops behind him and blocked in front, so he had to march towards Tuocheng in a desperate fight. Unexpectedly, he encountered Liu Ce, the best defender in the Dagan army. , the army could not attack for a long time, Yun Wuyan led his troops and rushed up from behind. The Qiangqing bamboo looked like a frightened bird. The remaining troops marched eastward, and were forced by Li Luo's formation between Tuocheng and Moxiacheng. Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Linhan sent his troops Close to the Tuocheng area.
The first day of June.
The Qiang Qing Bamboo Troops had less than ten thousand cavalry. They tried to break through Liu Ce's defense several times, but were blocked by Mu Tianlang's army and Zhou Linhan's troops, making it difficult to cross the dew. Qiang Xing's father and son joined forces and sent troops to relieve the siege, but were defeated by Li Luo.
By then, Helian Chengxian led a large army to conquer Moxia City. Qiang Xingzhi and Qiang Qingzhu soldiers were united. However, the left army had less than 30,000 soldiers, and the Dizhou war was coming to an end.
The seventh day of June.
Qiang Xingzhi used himself as bait, secretly set up a trap in Chencang, and personally led a large army to break out from the encirclement between Duancuo City and Qiliang City, hoping to cross Lushui. Calling Chajing, Yuan Jun and Yun Wuyan's three armies pursued them to prevent Qiang Xingzhi from reaching Lushui.
By the river, Qiang Xingzhi was captured by Huchajing, Gerile was killed by Yun Wuyan himself, and the entire Xirong left army was wiped out.
Qiang Qingzhu and Qiang Qingchi led eight thousand remnants from the east of Tuocheng, barely crossed the dew, and fled back to Yingchou Gorge. Li Luo secretly sent a message to Liu Ce and Zhou Linhan, allowing them to leave. On the same day, Linxia City was defeated.
Hui Mongolia sent troops into the city, but none of the Xirong soldiers survived.
Dew camp.
Li Luo finally met the world-famous Marshal Qiang Xingzhi of the Xirong Zuo Army. Except for Di Jie and a few other generals in the Da Gan Army, none of the other generals had ever seen this famous general. The generals had more or less known this in their hearts before.
I had secretly guessed what this Qiang Xingzhi looked like. Unexpectedly, after seeing it in person, Liu Ce and others were shocked. Even Shen Xiangdong was quite surprised. If Di Jie hadn't confirmed that he was indeed a Qiang Xingzhi, the generals of Mu Tianlang would
I thought Huchajing had arrested the wrong person.
Li Luo did not bring the Qiang Xingzhi into the camp, but met with Da Gan's old enemy for decades in front of the camp.
If Qiang Xingzhi hadn't been wearing the military uniform of a Xirong general, he would have looked like an ordinary Xirong herdsman. His temples had blossomed early, his figure was thin, his face was dark, and he was covered with horizontal and vertical wrinkles. If there weren't a few scars on his face,
, put into the crowd, no one could guess that the person in front of him was actually the commander-in-chief of Xirong Zuo who once dominated the Western Regions.
Qiang Xingzhi's hands were bound, his back was slightly hunched, and his face looked tired. He stood quietly in front of the Dagan soldiers, without any worries or fear, as if he was resigned to his fate, or perhaps indifferent to life and death. It was this calmness, but not
Dare to be underestimated.
Li Luo looked at Qiang Xingzhi and said nothing. Di Jie sat on the horse, looked down at Qiang Xingzhi, laughed and said: "Qiang Xingzhi, did you expect that this day would happen?"
Qiang Xingzhi raised his head, glanced at Di Jie, grinned, and said hoarsely: "General Di, you're fine."
Di Jie snorted and did not respond. Qiang Xingzhi laughed at himself and said: "From the day I led the troops into Dizhou, I guessed that one day, Qiang's roots would be in Pingshachuan, and those who were away from their roots would
How can I live for a long time, but you are so unwilling to live up to expectations and let me live in Dizhou for these more years."
"Bold!" Several generals from the Western Expedition shouted angrily.
Di Jie waved his hand, stopped several generals under his tent, looked at Qiang Xingzhi coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, I think I am no match for you, but I hate that the territory of Dagan Province has fallen to you and others.
It has been in my hands for more than 20 years, and it has only been recaptured today. Di is ashamed of the heroic spirit of Da Gan who died in Dizhou."
Qiang Xingzhi laughed and said: "Di Jie, your temper towards me, during the years I was in Dizhou, you Da Gan sent three armies before and after you, you are the only one who can make me work hard. You do things aboveboard, unlike me,
But I, Xirong, have few people and few resources, so no wonder I always use some tricks. If not for each of us, I would still like to make friends with you and go to my clan together to taste the fine wine of our Xirong." (To be continued.)
