Chen An did not care at all when he saw the generals 'ashen faces.
If the land exists and the people die, the land will be lost sooner or later. People live and land is lost, and land can be taken back sooner or later.
This logic seemed simple, but many of the generals in the US did not understand it.
The Turks had sent a total of one hundred thousand soldiers. And Jade Gate Pass only had 5,000 border troops, how could they defend it?
Since they were going to lose it sooner or later, they might as well give it to the Turks and preserve the border army.
That was the most elite army of the West River Path, and there was no one else like it.
"Official, write two more letters and send them to Minister Li of Chang 'an and Yanmen Pass. Tell them that the Turks have gone south and attacked Hexi Road.”Chen An ordered again.
Hearing this, the army registrar was a little stunned.
"Minister An, isn't there a request for help in the letter?”
"There's no need to write! It was useless to write it down. The terrain west of the river was complicated and mountainous. If the reinforcements can't make it here, we can only rely on ourselves!”
Chen An was telling the truth.
During the Tang Dynasty, Hexi Road was the area of Gan and Su in the later generations.
It was a place with high mountains and dangerous terrain. The road was difficult and it was not suitable for cavalry to fight.
Because of this, the prefectural soldiers from the Central Plains would not be able to rush over in a short period of time.
Of course!
It was also for this reason that no matter how much Chen An had persuaded them, the Great Tang emperors and ministers did not believe that the Turks would attack the Hexi Path.
That place was not suitable for cavalry to raid.
And the strongest of the Turks was the cavalry, forcing them to give up their advantage and attack on the west of the river.
Was that even possible?
It turned out that Li Shimin was wrong, and even the War God Li Jing was wrong.
No one had expected the Turks to attack the west of the river.
They sacrificed their cavalry advantage in exchange for the success of their plan.
"So, there are no more reinforcements in the west of the river. We can't wait for reinforcements. We can only rely on ourselves!”
A childish voice sounded in the commander's tent.
Hearing this, everyone's expression became even uglier.
It was over!
The Eight Prefectures of Hexi were really finished.
Under
the ugly expressions of the soldiers, the army registrar quickly wrote the document and sent it out.
"He Qi, Lu Liangdong, Shi Yuancai!”
"I'm here!"
The three archer commanders stood up and bowed.
"I order the three of you to continue training the archers. Without the Prime Minister's order, not a single soldier is allowed to be dispatched!”
"Here!"
The three of them took their leave.
"Xu Yuanxun!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to continue training the infantry. Without my orders, no soldiers are allowed to leave. Those who leave their posts without permission will die!"
"Understood!"
Cavalry Commander Fang Shiheng received the order to retreat.
"Qin Hongyuan!"
"I'm here!"
The West River Regional Governor cupped his fists and said loudly.
"I will give you seven days to recruit another five thousand strong men. If you can't do it, I'll cut you down!”Chen An ordered with a murderous aura.
Qin Hongyuan turned pale with fright.
What was that? And five thousand strong men?
Where the f * ck am I supposed to force you to recruit these strong men? These few days, our reputations have already become worse than sh * t.
Don't you know?
Now, when the young men of Hexi saw the bailiffs sent by the state and county, they immediately fled. They could not catch them at all.
"Minister An, I'm sorry. I can't do it! Even if you kill me now, I won't be able to capture 5,000 strong men in seven days.”
"Hehe, you can do it!"
Chen An sneered and turned to look at the commander.""Fang Shiheng!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to lead your cavalry and accompany Jiedushi Qin to capture the people. If he didn't catch 5,000 within seven days, he would be able to kill them. I'll kill you both!”
Even if the bailiffs couldn't catch them, they could at least send out the cavalry, right?
If he still couldn't catch her, then he deserved to die!
Hearing this order, Fang Shiheng and Jiedushi Qin looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
"This general will obey!"
"Yes, sir!"
Chen An was very happy to hear that."Alright, everyone, go out and continue training." Hexi Shangduwei: General Xi Jin, stay!”
"Yes, sir! I'll take my leave!"
"This official will take his leave!"
Everyone walked out of the commander's tent, leaving only General Xi Jin, who was in charge of the scouts of the eight states.
After everyone left, the indifference on Chen An's face disappeared and was replaced by an extremely serious expression.
"Xi Jin, immediately gather all the scouts in the camp. Whoever I call out will come in. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Xi Jin received the order and quickly went out to gather his troops.
As soon as he left, he met the angel eunuch.
Xi Jin took a glance at it and left quickly without saying anything.
"Angel Chang 'an has arrived!"
Yue Qianshan shouted.
Chen An frowned when he heard the shout. What was he doing here?
"Call him in!"
"Angel, please!"
The curtain was lifted, and the eunuch walked into the commander's tent under the protection of the Golden Guards.
Chen An smiled when he saw him.
"Oh, isn't this Eunuch Chen? What's wrong with Eunuch Chen?”
The eunuch's fair face instantly turned red when he heard Eunuch Chen's name. He said in embarrassment and anger,""You, you…Forget it, I won't argue with a little kid like you.”
"Oh? Then why are you here?"
"I came here to ask: Is there anything you need my help with? I will definitely do my best!"
Chen An raised his head and stared at the eunuch.
His eyes were filled with surprise.
"Little doll, what are you looking at? Although my body is crippled, I am still a Tang. The Turkic invasion has infuriated all the people of insight in the Great Tang. Although they couldn't compare to Sima Shigong, who could write books, they were willing to raise their swords to protect the territory of the Great Tang.”
A sharp voice sounded in the commander's tent.
The figure of this crippled eunuch seemed to have grown much taller.
At this moment.
Chen An stood up, stretched out his little hand, and gave a thumbs up.
"Good! I didn't expect the Tang eunuch to be so elegant. I was rude earlier. I'm sorry!"
"I won't argue with you. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Chen An thought for a moment and said solemnly,""There is indeed a matter that needs the father-in-law to handle." It was not convenient for the Qin Provincial Governor to collect grain. Unless he sent troops to forcefully collect it, the big families in the counties would not buy it. Eunuch, can you solve this problem?”
Hearing this, the eunuch smiled.
"I thought it was something big. So he was going to a rich family's residence to get some benefits. Leave it to me."
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. This was only for the sake of His Majesty's country.”
The eunuch waved his hand and left the commander's tent to do his work.
…Jade
Gate Pass.
"Urgent report: The Prime Minister of the Great Tang and the new General Manager of Hexi have sent an order!”
Hearing this, the anxious general of Jade Gate Pass rushed forward and snatched the military intelligence document from the messenger's hand. He quickly opened it and read it.
In the next moment.
The Jade Gate Pass general was stunned.
What was that? Ordering me to abandon the guard of the Yumen Pass?
Heavens!
Was the West River Manager crazy? Why would he issue such an order?
The Jade Gate Pass was the only border barrier in Hexi!
Losing it, the eight prefectures of the west of the river would be defenseless and could only be slaughtered by the Turks.
