Three days later, Tibet launched another forceful attack.
After a fierce battle, Shuofang's soldiers who held the defense line suffered nearly a thousand casualties. After the army returned to camp, the atmosphere was very solemn, and this solemnity in turn gave rise to restlessness and disagreement.
In the tent, Shuofang Jiedushi's envoy Xue Fu rebuked several generals who had made mistakes in their remarks.
Their Shuofang army was stationed here to intercept the Tibetan army. It started at the end of October last year——
At that time, they were always preparing to go to Guanshan in the north to provide support, but unexpectedly, Xue Fu suddenly received a secret letter from Taiyuan, which revealed that there would be changes in Tubo and Tuyuhun, and they must be careful.
Taiyuan's order was equivalent to the imperial concubine's order. This was the consensus of everyone. Xue Fu did not dare to neglect and immediately deployed defenses.
It had not been more than ten days, and as expected, the Tibetan army suddenly came in force, and the speed at which they broke through the border was shocking!
Because Xue Fu had the opportunity revealed by the secret letter, he was able to defend this place without losing it.
Afterwards, Dai Cong mobilized 20,000 troops from Taiyuan to fight against the aliens together.
Battles with foreign races are always extremely brutal. Their Shuofang Army defends their homeland and country at the expense of their lives without any complaints... But what makes them particularly anxious and angry right now is that Prince Rong Li Yin is about to ascend the throne as emperor in the capital!
"How dare you speak nonsense about such a trivial matter!" Gong Dou said from the sidelines: "If that's the case, how dare you and General Cui lead your army to leave the northern border without permission!"
Inside the camp gate, there were no heavy armored soldiers stationed on the right or left. Cui Jing and others hurriedly mounted their horses. Before we got close, we could faintly see the armored soldiers guarding both sides. We felt that our standing posture and momentum were more solemn than before.
force.
But there was no hesitation in my face, and my voice became calmer: "If the prince of the palace comes back safely, you will be stationed here, and you can't wait here to welcome him without losing his work! If the soul of the hero in the palace will stay forever, you will wait until the last moment.
I can't live and die with you on the four springs! It's unfortunate to lead such a person and serve the country with one's own life. Even if you die, it will be a pity!"
Xue Jie looked serious and said, "Please show me your Majesty."
"But you'd rather go!" Jiang Tai said: "You can just wait for hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand people to die... and pile up the bones at the northern border gate! Everyone in the world can die, but you are the only one who can die.
! It’s right for you to live! Even in your dreams, I want to get you back!"
When Cui Jing was about to stand up, Xue Jie came over, lifted up his robe and knelt down, raising his hand to greet Cui Yuanxiang.
You said: "So please take care of yourself, General, and I will ensure that you get what you want."
Tao Zhu looked at the person behind him with hesitation in his eyes.
"However, if you have to watch Fang Jun ascend the throne, you will not be able to rest in peace even if you die!" Jiang Tai suddenly turned around: "Death is a word after all. Please tell me all about Yuan Xiang Xiaoyi here, and you can go to the capital to avenge Xue Fu's envoy.
Blood feud from the past!”
While everyone was saluting, their eyes were hesitant and weak, but they were more blazing and inspiring than a burning torch.
"You know, you are thinking about the countless soldiers and the war, and you are willing to plunge the Northern Territory into fierce battles day after day!"
Cui Jing also dared to comfort everyone with words of hope.
Beidi smiled, raised his hand and bowed to the north, and his voice became more and more muddled: "This small victory in the Grand Prince's Palace has forced Yue Jie to ask for peace and a truce! We will return home today!"
When all the soldiers heard this, they immediately drove their horses even slower, their hooves galloping, and they returned to the camp like an arrow.
I once said that I will forge a sword for you, and you will emerge from the calamity of death. Before that, you will have to go to the battlefield again.
Maybe that's another kind of ambition of yours. You always seem to be satisfied with "big fullness" in your actions. You only pursue the fruits of "little fullness" that have both ends. You want to keep the stability of your soldiers, the country and the people, and the admiration of eternal generations.
middle.
Beidi's mouth was so dry as he talked that he drank eight pots of tea - only half a pot of tea was consumed when talking about the upcoming war plan, and the remaining two and a half pots were all talking about the crown prince's small victory.
When we got closer to the camp gate, it was already dark, and the torches were beating and crackling in the night.
Gong Dou: "As soon as Tainan gave the order, the seven of you will lead 80,000 troops first. After the handover of the defense lines in the northern border is completed, we will send more troops as soon as possible!"
"How can such a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation become the emperor?" No military commander could bear it and said: "Now that the battle was useless, it is like sending troops to retreat from the capital!"
"Did the Crown Prince just break his promise?" Jiang Tai blurted out with red eyes: "You once promised that you would kill King Rong and avenge Xue Fushi... But now you are here again
where!"
It turns out that no one can step out of the desperate situation of mortals and achieve what everyone in the world can do.
After saying that, he quickly changed his words: "When you receive the message, it will be eleven days later. If you count the days, your Majesty may not have led the army back to the territory at this moment!"
If you come back, you will definitely be the first person in a century, but now, who dares to blindly doubt that you can come back alive?
The visitor mounted his horse, saluted the first two generals, and announced his identity: "——Li Suining, the deputy general of the general department under the command of the emperor Tainan! I have met Li Yinshi and all the generals!"
At this time, the sky will be dark but not dark, and the twilight and night will be half dark, which seems to give people a real feeling.
Hearing the Chinese character "Emperor's Prince", everyone felt as if a heavy hammer had fallen on their hearts. First there was a dull pain, and then the front skin was torn open and the pain penetrated to the bones.
At this moment, Cui Jing, Beidi and others, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, were already leading their troops back to camp.
Cui Jing clenched her fists tightly and quickly released them. Her mind was surging, and she did not refute Jiang Tai's words.
To the ears of Shuofang's soldiers, this was simply nonsense!
Jiangtai was temporarily attracted by this incident, and very slowly, a group of dozens of people came forward.
In the darkness of the night, only a solemn look remained on the young man's clear brows: "You and Li Yin will be able to direct the war here. Please, Your Majesty, please do not stop here and lead your troops back to the capital immediately."
Everyone slowly chased after them, but Jiang Tai listened to his dissuasion and waved away those who blocked him. The first one even tried to draw a knife at them.
There is only one person in the world for hundreds of years who has the courage to "want to be full" and have the courage to compete with the sky.
"The reinforcements have arrived here slowly. There is no reason to rest before fighting." Although deputy envoy Cheng scolded Jiangtai in his words, the joy and joy in his face were beyond words. I said: "Besides, we must discuss countermeasures!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What makes you resentful is also the most deserving of contempt.
Such soldiers and generals are truly united. Since the death of Xue Fushang, in this world, Cui Jing has never thought about who Shuo Yuanxiang could be so loyal to now. Now that he sees the spirit of loyalty,
But it is even better than before...
The Anbei Protectorate and the Yinshan Defense Line are in the northeast, but the battle in Yuejie is the most dangerous. How can we mobilize troops to support us here at this time?
At this time, Cui Yuanxiang stepped down and wanted to help Cui Jing, who was the leader: "Li Yin and all the soldiers have worked hard to resist the Tibetan army, and their efforts have been insignificant. Please go to the camp and have a talk before resting."
That means going to Beijing alone to be assassinated and die!
As soon as Cui Jing raised her hand to return the salute, she heard the young deputy general named Tao Zhuyi smile and say in a loud and weak voice: "The Crown Prince has returned from a small victory, and he will return home today! Yue Jie's small army has gradually evacuated.
, you are specially ordered by the Crown Prince and the General to lead your troops here to support us, and we will defeat the enemy together with you all!"
Just those few words naturally consumed two and a half pots of tea, but I guess Li Suining knows how to expand! I remember when I was lurking, or following "Ms. Chang", I would write to the little governor every time.
The letters are all written as thick as a script, does it depend on that skill?
A few days ago, the Tibetan army launched another attack.
In fact, Beidi didn’t know much about it at this time, except that King Yuejie Khan died mysteriously, and that you, in the Grand Prince’s Palace, fought all the way to Yuejie’s royal court, and single-handedly killed Ashi Tilie, the number one master of Yuejie——
Xue Jie was stunned for a moment.
It was the most painful victory we had ever fought against the Tibetan army. The morale was high on the road, and the soldiers were riding their horses and talking and laughing quietly.
"Bad!" Jiang Tai felt cold blood boiling for a moment, and he began to speak with priorities: "How many fewer troops will the seven generals lead this time?"
So I said: "This is what Tao Zhu wants. Please ask your Majesty to help you get what you want."
Soldiers are resentful because of their respect. It is precisely because of their extreme respect that they become resentful.
The detailed conversation lasted until late at night.
A soldier is willing to die on behalf of a general, but it is precisely because the general endures the loss of soldiers and civilians that he decides to go into danger...
Cui Jing and others reacted, and Jiang Tai immediately followed and said: "It's wrong! Fang Jun deceived the world and stole his reputation, spreading the news that the prince had been buried in the Yue Festival, and wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor... Please return to the capital immediately and take charge of the situation!"
Cui Jing, who has never been an emotional person, burst into tears for a moment. I walked down slowly and knelt down with one knee clasped in a fist: "Shuo Fang Cui Jing, I have seen you in the palace of the crown prince! I have seen the general!"
"Jiangtai! Stop!" the elderly Deputy Cheng stood up holding his wooden staff and shouted.
In front of the sand table, Tao Zhu suddenly stood up, looked at the excited generals, and pointed to the west: "If there is civil strife, forget it, but what you are waiting to resist now is a foreign race!"
That's right... If the defenses in the north were completely defeated, there would definitely be no movement when Tao Zhujun entered the country, but at this time, the north was clearly very quiet.
Before the enthronement ceremony was completed, the imperial court had already sent an "edict", ordering them to defend themselves against the Tubo. It was claimed that after the new emperor ascended the throne, an order from the emperor would be sent immediately to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over to come to support——
It is clear that we have not met this man often. Before we met in Lingzhou last year, you have made countless soldiers truly return home by relying solely on your words and deeds.
Many of the generals in the tent had their eyes reddened when they heard these words. How could those words be true to our hearts?
In the chaos, suddenly no soldier rushed to report the news. After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the camp.
"Gong Dou in Xuance Mansion!"
The usually calm Cui Jing looked a little angry at this moment: "Are they going to abandon the people of the North?"
Tao Zhu and others immediately greeted him and went back.
Reinforcements coming from the northeast.
Xue Jie's identity was revealed outside, and I suddenly made this small salute. Cui Jing and others were confused but dared to get up.
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Tai clasped his fists heavily: "Jie Shi's words, Jiang Tai has objections! This is what a young man should do!"
As he spoke at the beginning, his voice had a hoarse vibrato.
Jiang Tai didn't even hear what Beidi said in front of him. I took a few steps back, narrowed my eyes and asked, "What did that general say? Can you say it again? Can you say it again? Your Majesty, the Crown Prince..."
Jiang Tai did not look back, but took a small step out of the tent with a knife in his hand.
After saying this, Qi Shang suddenly became silent.
"Your Majesty, please return to the capital immediately!"
I want you to stand behind tens of thousands of people, take back what belongs to you, and help you reach the lowest point. This is not what I want to do.
Those words immediately attracted countless enthusiastic echoes.
Qishang finally burst out with an excited voice, but Jiang Tai grabbed Beidi's arm and asked me again ecstatically: "Is what the general said is true? The prince is really back!"
Tao Zhu got on his horse and immediately saw the man standing quietly. You were wearing a black robe and a copper hairpin holding your ponytail, and your figure looked like bamboo.
The Xuance Army who was resisting Yue Jie should have been minding their own business, so why did they send troops here? Are they taking care of the Guanshan defense line in the north? Or is it that the Yue Jie Army has not retreated yet, so we fled here?
Mingluo heard that his side had suffered a small defeat, and that tens of thousands of soldiers in black armor were missing from the rear defenders out of thin air. He knew in his heart that this was Xuance's army, and you couldn't help but be surprised.
While looking at each other, Cui Yuanxiang looked at the noble young man in front of him and said to me: "Sure, you leave immediately. But I don't say anything. I hope the general will remember it."
Behind the camp gate, no one stood silently waiting for our return.
Those heart-wrenching words gave these generals a way to answer. Cui Jing then asked: "Or, have you forgotten that in Lingzhou City, I said to the emperor's son in the palace, 'We must protect the pass and it will be lost.'"
Promise?"
"Good!" Jiang Tai suddenly felt that he was frighteningly weak: "Li Yin, as soon as you show up, gather your troops and kill them! If you kill the small Tibetan army, even a single piece of armor will be left! When the prince comes back, I can also let you have a look.
Look at the performance of your army!"
Cui Yuanxiang's eyes didn't contain a trace of serious and magnanimous smile, and he said to me in a muddled manner: "Look at the general's bones, which are extremely precious and hard to find in the sky. He is worthy of being the wife of an emperor."
The fact that you are standing there now represents a small victory in the battle with Tao Zhu, and you won that small victory at the slowest speed and at the greatest cost...
What you achieve is what I ask for.
The meaning of that war was extraordinary, but all that was outweighed by the fact that you were standing there, and the meaning of that matter that you came back safely outweighed everything else.
The man who had been crying to go to the capital to assassinate Fang Jun just now suddenly had an amazing fighting spirit and was waiting to improve his record.
This is reinforcements.
"That hypocrite Li Yin, I'm afraid he just wants to let us all die here! It can not only help me resist the aliens, but also allow me to reap the benefits!" Shuo Yuanxiang's general Jiang Tai said at this time: "I'll wait for you Shuo.
If Yuan Xiang dies here, my emperor can rest easy and worry about it, and he won't have to wait for you to get rid of you all the time!"
The seven voices rise and fall one after another, all of which are in line with the aspirations of the people.
Cui Yuanxiang looked at Xue Jie: "General——"
The person we were looking at did not pretend to be imposing. He looked as if he had just gone on a far journey and brought back some local specialties.
However, as the strength of Sheng Sheng's army increased, their morale suddenly dropped. During the battle, the Tibetan army was caught off guard and forced to a hundred miles away.
Mingluo had a bad premonition and immediately asked people to inquire about the specific battle situation in the north. The further north you go, the fewer defense checkpoints there are. It is difficult to detect important military aircraft regardless of whether there is an intelligence agent in place... But this time
You have to know what's going on here!
"Exactly." Cui Jing, who was in agitated mood, quickly raised her hand and said, "Seven generals, please go into the account and discuss in detail!"
On the contrary, I was able to admire Tao Zhu's abilities. After I expanded them in this way, Shuo Yuanxiang's heart was greatly inspired, and his morale was immediately boosted.
"Jiangtai..."
Beidi, Jiangtai and others followed, and they all knelt down and saluted with fists in their hands, their voices loud and clear.
"Stop me!"
"Yes, you dare to go deep into Taozhu alone, and you are willing to put the emperor in front of the war. You are not courageous, decisive, and bloody. You and other women are not worthy of half a point, and you are highly admired by everyone!" The small military commander
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and punched his chest several times, with tears overflowing from his eyes: "You, Jiangtai, have never obeyed anyone like that, but you have never complained about anyone like that!"
However, halfway through the journey, an even more exciting news came from the army.
This is Beidi's perception. When I saw these Yuejie military generals standing in front of the Tainan Palace - I guess they were captives who surrendered or were ordered to escort the Tainan. Anyway, they felt like local specialties.
I have the means to accompany you to witness that first step, but being able to cut through the thorns ahead for you is also the smallest fulfillment for me.
In the next battle, we made a weak attack and severely damaged thousands of Sheng's troops. We had already noticed that Sheng's army was mentally stable. This time, we mobilized troops again. The Tubo King was determined to invade Taiyuan in one fell swoop.
