After a series of fruitless guesses, the Khan could only send new scouts to Dunhuang and order the army to stay temporarily.
As a grassland Khan, Jie Li had experienced too many conspiracies and wars in his life.
The heroes of the grassland who were once stronger than him had all turned into mud and died early.
Why?
It was because he advanced rashly!
They knew that there were many soldiers in Guazhou, but they still sent an army to charge in without knowing anything about the military situation…
This was a military taboo. They were courting death.
I cannot make such a low-level mistake.
"Men!"
"This general is here. Khagan, please give your orders!”
"Send a message to Captain Shi Jie and order his vanguard to be careful, careful, even more careful. Don't rashly advance and fall into the Tang's trap!”Jie Li Khan warned seriously.
"Understood!"
The Turkic messenger led the new scouts to Dunhuang.
Dunhuang.
After receiving the Khan's order and the new scout army sent by the Khan, Shi Jie patted his chest and promised loudly,"He would definitely be careful and not fall into the Tang people's scheme.
That night.
Shi Jie let the new scouts rest for the night, and the next day, they would enter Guazhou in batches.
However…something
terrible happened again.
The first batch of scouts never returned. The second batch of scouts did not return, and the third batch did not return either.
It was as if there was a ferocious ancient beast in the land ahead.
It opened its bloody mouth and devoured all living beings.
It was terrifying, strange, and mysterious to the extreme.
The stone tablet didn't dare to move, not even daring to move.
The Turks didn't dare to move. They all stood guard around Jade Gate Pass, not daring to rashly advance.
Under
such a situation, the Tang scouts returned to Suzhou to rest according to the third secret order and received a new secret order.
Their contributions were enormous.
They had used a mere two hundred men to stall the Turkic army of one hundred thousand.
What kind of glorious battle record was this?
What kind of unbelievable ability was this?
Two hundred versus one hundred thousand!
When the Tang scouts returned to Suzhou, the whole city cheered.
Chen An personally came to the camp to welcome everyone.
However…
in the face of the cheers of the entire city, the scouts were very humble.
All of this was not due to them, but a child, a seven-year-old child.
This child's strategy had surpassed the times, the past and the present, and the imagination of the world.
In the unseen world, he seemed to be omnipotent.
In front of him, the Great Tang War God was just an ant. In front of him, the War Saint Sun Wu could only be an apprentice.
He had calculated everything in the world, including all living beings in the world.
How terrifying!
"Rest for half a day and set off again tonight!”
"I will obey Minister An's order!"
The scouts agreed loudly, their eyes filled with indescribable respect.
Looking at the back of the little prime minister who turned around and left, everyone seemed to see a "god"!
In the 3,000 years of history of China, who would dare to claim to be a respected military figure?
There was nothing else but me, Chen An!
…At
the same time.
On the official road leading to the capital of the Tang Empire, messengers with beacon flags were running desperately.
In front.
The huge and ancient Chang 'an Fortress was still vivid in his mind.
"Beacon emergency report: Open the city gates, quickly open the city gates.”
Seeing the beacon fire flag, the guards at the Chang 'an City Gate turned pale in horror.""Quickly open the city gates, quick, quick!"
The city gate opened with a bang.
The messenger did not stop and rushed into the city.
In the Imperial Palace. Dew Palace.
"Report: The west of the Yellow River has sent a beacon fire to send a message. The Turks have captured the border and have taken down the Jade Gate Pass!”
[What?]
The officials and ministers were shocked.
"Quickly announce it!"
"Here!"
With the help of the Golden Guards, the messenger entered the hall.
"I am a lieutenant of the Golden Guards. Greetings, Your Majesty!”
What was that? He was actually the Golden Guards lieutenant who had escorted the internal angel to the west of the river to announce the decree?
"No need for formalities! Hurry up and remove the formalities! The Turks have really invaded the Hexi Path?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! This was the memorial written by the young prime minister, the governor of Hexi, and the eunuch.”As the lieutenant spoke, he took out three letters from his pocket.
Fang Xuanling rushed forward and took the Beacon Messenger to take a closer look.
"Hiss!"
Fang Xuanling gasped when he saw what had happened.
Tian Zi hurriedly ran down, and the ministers also surrounded him.
"Hiss! One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand Turkic soldiers had invaded the Hexi Road!”
"The Turkic main force has appeared. The Great Tang has been fooled, we have been fooled.”
"It's over, it's over! Yanmen Pass was indeed a feint. It was an illusion, an illusion!”
"I regret not believing my words back then. What should we do now?”
The
ministers shouted in unison. Their voices were filled with endless panic, and their hearts were filled with endless fear.
At this moment, Li Shi Min was filled with regret and hatred. He wanted to slap himself on the spot.
He regretted not believing Little Wa.
She shouldn't have refused to believe that child because of her subjective hatred. This was disregarding the Great Tang and the Li Dynasty!
It was over, it was over.
The mountains west of the river are high and the road is inconvenient. The prefectural soldiers of the Central Plains would not be able to rush over in a short period of time.
From the west of the river to Chang 'an, it took three days and three nights for a single messenger on a single horse.
If it was an army, it would take at least a month.
A month later, the eight prefectures west of the river would be finished.
That was the main force of the Turks, an army of one hundred thousand!
There were only ten thousand soldiers in total, and they were just shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
10,000 against 100,000, could they last for three days?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the eight prefectures west of the river have already fallen. We can't save them. The only thing we can do now is to build a defensive line on the east of the river and then mobilize the soldiers of the entire country to beat back the Turks. Otherwise…
Chang 'an will be in danger, and the Great Tang will be in danger!”
Hou Junji roared as he stood out.
Hearing this, all the officials in the court nodded.
Those were the Turks.
Ever since the Great Tang was founded, they had lost more than they won against their attacks.
The strength of the Turks was deeply engraved in the minds of the ministers.
Now that the Turkic army of one hundred thousand has gone south to the west of the river, and in a 'surprise attack', tell me, how can the west of the river stop them?
Finished, finished!
The Eight Prefectures of Hexi were completely finished!
"Your Majesty, please quickly order the Hedong and Longxi provincial governors to quickly mobilize the prefectural soldiers in the territory and station them at the border of Hexi. They couldn't let the Turks conquer another prefecture!”
"Your Majesty, please quickly issue the 'Great Tang War Order' and mobilize the soldiers from all over the country to reinforce the east of the river. Moreover, the Chang 'an Imperial Army had to be mobilized.”
Fang Xuanling, Du Hui, and the others spoke in unison, looking extremely anxious.
Li Shi Min nodded immediately.
"Send word: Hedong and Longxi provincial governors, quickly station your troops. In addition, in my name, summon all the government troops and rush to the east of the river. We must not let the Turks enter Guanzhong.”
"Otherwise..."
Li Shiming couldn't continue.
Otherwise, the Central Plains would be finished, and the Great Tang would be finished.
The Turks had come up with such a sinister plan, and had even sacrificed tens of thousands of lives at Yanmen Pass. Did they just want to rob them and leave?
Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
The Turks are probably trying to destroy our Li Empire this time!
"Hurry up! Quickly draft the decree!"
"Here!"
The Head Secretary personally picked up the brush and quickly wrote down the imperial edict, then ordered someone to send it out.
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next. He didn't know the exact situation in Hexi Province.
It was a peerless supreme divine youth.
He used his own body and unparalleled strategy to block the footsteps of the 100,000 strong army.
A whole hundred thousand!
(
The climax is coming. I'm asking for a quote. I'm asking for flowers and tickets.) Little friends, talk more in the book review section. Otherwise, the book review section will be so deserted.）
