However, regardless of whether the post of West River Chief was real or fake, the new imperial edict had arrived.
The mission of the messenger angel was to bring Chen An back to Chang 'an.
"Men!" The eunuch shouted.
The Golden Guards immediately agreed.
"Take Chen An away and we'll return to Chang 'an quickly!”
"Understood!"
The Golden Guards dismounted their horses and quickly walked toward Chen An.
"Who dares?"
"Men!" Chen An shouted. Pass down my order to detain all the Golden Guards!”
What?
The Golden Guards from the Chang 'an Royal Palace were shocked.
At this moment.
A group of cavalrymen rushed out from the camp behind them.
Standing like a forest and moving like the wind, he instantly surrounded everyone.
"General: Fang Shiheng is here, who dares to capture 'Minister An'?”
The angel was speechless.
The Golden Guards were speechless.
In the midst of everyone's shock, Chen An waved his small hand. The cavalry rode forward and detained all the Golden Guards on the ground.
Seeing this, the eunuch was furious.
"Chen An, what do you want? Are you rebelling?"
"I won't rebel!" Chen An replied with a smile.
"Then why don't you quickly accept the edict and follow me back to Chang 'an?”
"I'm sorry! I'll be outside, and I'll have to accept your orders." Chen An said seriously," The Turks are about to attack Hexi Road. I cannot leave!”
What was that? The Turks were coming?
"Impossible! The Turks were currently attacking Yanmen Pass, so why would they invade Hexi?”
The eunuch did not believe him at all.
In his mind, this detestable little fellow didn't want to leave, so he made up a fake 'excuse...
"It's impossible for the Turks to invade the Hexi Path.”The eunuch glared at the little guy angrily and swore," If they really come, Chen An. I'll change my surname to yours. If you don't come, come back to Chang 'an with me today!”
Chen An was speechless.
Provincial Governor Qin was speechless.
The soldiers were speechless.
At this moment.
Just as everyone was silent, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar.
A pegasus galloped over, and the messenger on the horse kept shouting,"
"Military emergency report! The army reported urgently that the Turks had invaded the border and invaded Hexi Road. Jade Gate Pass's defenders are requesting reinforcements. They can't hold on much longer! The army is in a hurry to report! The army is in a hurry to report that the Turks have invaded the border and invaded the Hexi Road…"
What?
Had the Turks really invaded?
Heavens!
Everyone was shocked.
Chen An immediately ran over and took the military intelligence document from the messenger. He took a quick look.
As expected!
The Turks had arrived!
"Release the Golden Guards. Immediately beat the drums and get ready for battle.”
Chen An said loudly and then ran to the camp.
When he ran to the eunuch, Chen An paused for a moment and said softly,""Eunuch Chen, your surname is Chen from now on.”
"I…I…Pfft!"
The eunuch spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black and he fell off his horse.
Eunuch Chen fainted from anger!
I was just kidding, I didn't want to change my surname!
Wuwuwu!
……
At the border of the West River. Jade Gate Pass of the Great Wall.
The Turks launched a fierce attack, and the border soldiers struggled to resist.
But the Turks seemed to have lost their lives and attacked with all their might. Wave after wave, wave after wave, endless…
On the grassland outside the pass.
The endless Turkic army was on the plains.
There were so many of them that it was impossible to count.
"It's over! It was over! Our Great Tang has been fooled. Their main force is at the west of the river, not Yanmen Pass! Jade Gate Pass could not be defended at all, nor could Hexi!”
The Jade Gate Pass general said in panic.
Looking at the endless enemy army, the other soldiers were also terrified.
What else could they do now?
There was no other way but to fight to the death!
"The Great Tang has raised us for many years. Today, we serve the country and live up to your grace. Soldiers, pass on my order,"Fight to the death!"”The Jade Gate Pass general roared.
The border guards agreed.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
A loud voice resounded in all directions, as if it shook the world.
Unfortunately…
On the grassland.
A hint of pity appeared on the Turkic Khagan's face as he looked at the border guards of the Jade Gate Pass begging for death.
"Unfortunately, my army has 100,000 soldiers. Even if you fight to the death, you won't be able to resist! What a pity!"
With this sigh, the Turkic Khagan's pity vanished, replaced by extreme cold-bloodedness.
"Pass on this Khagan's military order: Hu Yue's troops will mobilize a thousand men!”
"Understood!"
The Turkic elites immediately moved out, launching an attack ten times stronger than before.
The Jade Gate Pass is in danger!
……
Suzhou Prefecture Army Camp.
A dull drumbeat sounded.
The generals of the various armies quickly walked over and entered the commander's tent.
"Sandbox!"
Following Chen An's order, a huge sand table was brought up and placed in the middle of the commander's tent.
This was made overnight by the military craftsmen under Chen An's orders.
The generals surrounded him.
Chen An immediately stood up and came to the sandbox.
His gaze moved across the sand table and landed on the border-Jade Gate Pass.
As he stared, an endless amount of dazzling light flashed from Chen An's eyes.
The light transformed into a light screen.
The battle scene at Jade Gate Pass was clearly seen by Chen An.
" Where's the army's main registrar?!"
"I'm here."
The green-robed registrar immediately ran over.
"Write a letter! In the name of the Prime Minister, he sent a message to the general guarding the Jade Gate Pass, ordering him to immediately abandon it.”
What?
As soon as this order was issued, the generals turned pale with fright.
"Lord Minister An, if we abandon Jade Gate Pass, the Turkic army will march straight into the West!”
"Lord Minister An, Jade Gate Pass is the only barrier to the west of the river. If he was lost, the eight prefectures west of the river would be defenseless.”
"Lord Minister An, please think twice, think twice!”
The generals were panicking, extremely panicking.
They had thought that the young prime minister would send troops to reinforce Jade Gate Pass, and even thought that the young prime minister would personally go over to boost morale.
However, what everyone did not expect was:
The young prime minister's first military order was to order the generals of Jade Gate Pass to abandon their defense. This was a deliberate disgrace to the Tang Empire!
Crazy, crazy!
The little prime minister was crazy. He didn't understand military strategy at all. He didn't understand it at all!
"Quiet, quiet!"
Chen An shouted, and the commander's tent quieted down.""Are you the prime minister or am I the prime minister? Why don't you guys be it?"
"Uh…I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
"Then listen to my orders and cut the crap.”
"But, Minister An…"
"No buts!" Chen An shouted angrily and looked at the army registrar." Hurry up and write the letter!”
"Here!"
The army's chief registrar received the order and quickly wrote the document. Then, he ordered the messenger to speed up and send it to Yumen Pass.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions turned ugly.
This battle had not started yet, but the border was lost. What should we do in the future?
What was the Imperial Court doing? Were all the ministers so incompetent?
Why would he send a little kid to take charge of the military strategy?
Finished, finished!
Our Hexi Eight Prefectures are all finished!
……
(Tonight, it's still the fifth watch. I'll go to bed after writing.) The next part is the climax of the plot. It's very exciting. Little friends, don't raise pigs!)
