Chapter 355 Night Battle 1
It's getting dark in September. This is the end of the game. The sun is about to set on the mountain. Only a small half of the face is still leaning out from the top of the mountain. The golden sunshine makes the clouds in the sky red like blood. At first glance, it is like a fire in the sky. When the wind rises, the maple forest swayed with bursts of blood waves. Countless fallen leaves danced in the wind, and the birds threw into the forest and danced in bursts of noise. The fat hares rushed to and down the grass beside the mountain road, busy saving food for the winter. There is no doubt that the autumn color in Guanzhong is undoubtedly extremely beautiful and fascinating, but Li Xian obviously has no intention to appreciate such beauty and only cares about wieling horses. Rushing wildly, the dust between the mountain roads is full of dust, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes shocked the sound of birds and beasts.
"Drive, drive!"
After three days of driving the road, even if he was as strong as Li Xian, he was already a little tired. The tiredness on Ying Ting's face was clearly distinguishable. Under the sweat, he was wet, as if he had been fished out of the water. He looked quite embarrassed, but Li Xian obviously did not mean to stop and rest, even at this time. It's getting late, but Li Xian is still flying, galloping all the way to Longguan along the pre-Qin ancient road, and his eyebrows are full of unconcealed anxiety and anxiety.
Li Xian is really anxious. Because of the military situation, it has changed. On the day when Gao Zong's imperial edict was officially issued, Hexi sent a secret report that the Tubo army had completed the assembly and may launch an offensive at any time. The military situation was already very urgent. Li Xian was not in a hurry. No, Li Xian didn't even have time to take his family. He led more than a hundred guards all the way to Hexi.
Li Xian can't but be in a hurry, just because Hexi is the most critical territory in all his plans. There is no need to make any mistakes. If he is really beaten by the gar Qinling, Li Xian is afraid that he will not even cry. Now, the war is about to start, and the 250,000 people of the Tubo army are fierce. If you don't worry, it is absolutely Falsely, even if Li Xian had laid some secret chess pieces in Hexi a few years ago, he did not dare to say that he could block the front of the Tubo people. It was natural to be urgent. Li Xianshi couldn't wait to put his wings and immediately flew to the land of Hexi.
"Your Highness, there are still a hundred miles away from Longguan. I'm afraid I can't get there before dark. Look..."
The sun finally completely fell behind the mountain. The afterglow gradually weakened, and the originally red and bloody sunset glow had gradually darkened, but Li Xian had never given the order of the camp. As the commander of the royal family, Lin Chengbin was really unable to eat, so he caught up with the horse and was close to Li Xian's side, cautious. The ground made a statement.
"Camping!"
Li Xian was silently deduing the strategy and tactics of Hexi in his heart. When he was reported by Lin Chengbin, his thinking was broken in an instant. However, Li Xian was not angry. He just looked up at the sky and slowed down the ** war horse, and had no choice but to order.
"No!"
In three days of urgency, although it was one person and two horses, the horsepower was not too tired, but people were already a little overwhelmed. Not to mention the ordinary guards, even Lin Chengbin himself was very tired. Hearing this, Li Xian gave the order and did not dare to neglect. After responding loudly, he slowed down the speed of the horse and turned back to the relatives. The roar roared, and after a series of orders, the galloping horse team finally stopped slowly by a stream.
"Your Highness, drink some water."
All the guards in the royal palace are all veterans of a hundred battles. They are very familiar with the matter of camping. Lin Chengbin only needs a few orders to go down. Everyone can deploy the camp according to the requirements. There is no need to worry too much about it. However, as soon as he sees Li Xianzheng standing in the hill and overlooking the west of the river, Lin Chengbin is Some children became worried, sighed slightly, took a leather water bag from the horse's back, filled the stream with his own hands, slowly walked to Li Xian and said in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Li Xian answered absent-mindedly, took the leather bag handed over by Lin Chengbin, raised his head and poured it wildly. Finally, he threw back the nearly half empty leather bag to Lin Chengbin casually. He squatted down, folded the branches from the bushes on the side, pulled off the branches and leaves, and drew them on the ground. Come on, in a few pens, a map of the west of the river hastily come out.
"Cung Bin, where do you think the people of gar Qinling will attack first?"
Li Xian looked down at the map, and the branches in his hand had been shown the situation of the enemy. After frowning and thinking for a while, he asked without raising his head.
"Ah..."
Lin Chengbin obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would ask questions about this matter. He was stunned for a moment and really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It's okay. I just asked casually. Cheng Bin said it was okay if he had any ideas, just as a chat."
Regarding the movement of Kar Qinling, Li Xian has long been deduced many times. He has already made an opinion. At this time, the question was really just casual. When he saw that Lin Chengbin was nervous, he couldn't help laughing.
"In His Highness's words, the Qar Qinling has always been cunning and uses his troops very quirky. According to his eyes, it seems that the main attack is the four states of Dan, Guo, He and Fang, but the last generals think that there may be fraud in this." Although Lin Chengbin was only born as a low-level military officer, his understanding has always been good. In the past few years, he has followed Li Xian and studied military books carefully. When it comes to strategy, he is also quite insightful.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
As soon as Lin Chengbin said this, the smile on Li Xian's face was a little stronger, but he did not comment directly, but asked with a smile.
"To reply to Your Highness, the purpose of the dispatch of troops this time by Gar Qinling is grain. Although the four states of Dan, Kuo, He and Fang are light, the grain is not abundant. Even if the four states are won, there is not much gain. And these four prefectures are the important towns of our Tang Dynasty. It has been operating for many years, the fortifications are complete, and they are guarded by heavy soldiers. Although it is not seen that they are the Tubo army. The enemy, but it is not difficult to delay its progress. In the situation of Tubo at this time, under the strong battle, even if it can win, it is not worth the loss. On the contrary, Lanzhou's strength is not strong all the way. Although there is a natural danger of guarding the Datong River, it is not an impossible city. If the last general leads the army, he will repair the plank road and break through Lanzhou in one stroke. , cut off the road of reinforcement of our army in the east of the river. Don't worry that the west of the river will not go down. If the west of the river is lost, it will be difficult to support the single tree in Anxi, and the so large western region may be lost.
Lin Chengbin has been thinking about the war situation in private these days, and he has gained a lot in his heart. However, Li Xian did not ask, and he did not dare to interfere with Li Xian's thoughts with his own opinion. At this time, Li Xian had already asked, and Lin Chengbin no longer kept silent, which made all his thoughts and thoughts.
"Oh? Hahaha... Cheng Bin really has ulterior motives. Well, after this war, I will let you go!"
Li Xian still did not comment on Lin Chengbin's strategic analysis, but threw the branch in his hand on the ground with a laugh, stood up and made a promise.
"Ah..., Your Highness, the last general..."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Lin Chengbin was very anxious. He didn't want to be an official. In his opinion, even if he was an assassin of a state, he was far less than following Li Xian. Among other things, he could learn a lot from Li Xian. Once he left, he would have no hope of coming back again.
"It's time to talk about this after the war. Let's go. It's time to eat!"
Lin Chengbin's heart is that Li Xian knows it well, but Li Xian also has his own difficulties. On the one hand, there must be cronies to control all the important areas in Hexi. On the other hand, according to the Tang Dynasty, the subordinate officials of the royal family, especially senior military generals, are customized every three years. Li Xian doesn't want people to participate in this. See you at this time. Lin Chengbin was eager to refuse. Li Xian immediately waved his hand, intercepted Lin Chengbin's words, and did not give him a chance to explain much. He strode to the barracks under the hill. Seeing this, Lin Chengbin was helpless. He shook his head and dragged his heels behind Li Xian, and his face was full of undisguised frustration...< /P>
"Have you seen it clearly? That man is the king of England. One head is worth ten thousand gold. It's up to you, Boss Sha, can't take it.
Just as Li Xian was looking in the direction of Longguan, in a dense forest less than two miles away from the hill where he was, there were also several people silently observing Li Xian's every move. It was not until Li Xian came down the mountain that a strong middle-aged man smiled and teased at a bearded man standing beside him. A sentence.
Boss Sha is not someone else. He is the "Black Wind Thief" who runs rampant in Longdong and Longyou. The party was originally the son of a small tribal leader. His tribe turned to Tubo. In the war during the Yonghui period, he was wiped out by the Tang army. Sha Wanli led the remnants as bandits. First, he ran away from all over the country. After that, the power gradually rose, and it fell to the ground in Qingzhou, occupied the mountain as the king, and became a giant bandit in the area of Longdong and Longyou. His men sat with thousands of people. The Tang army repeatedly advanced and defeated, and all returned unfavorably. So it was greatly affected by heavy profits. This time, he led hundreds of elites to cross Longshan from the path and quietly lurked in Here, the target is Li Xian and his party.
"Diao San, you little son of a bitch. That's a killing embryo. It's so easy to take. You can't do it by yourself. What are you going to do with me?"
Sha Wanli puffed thick phlegm on the ground and glanced at the man who spoke earlier. Even smoothed his eyes to a masked man in a black cloak beside Diao San, he cursed tentatively.
"Big Sha's words are not righteous. Who doesn't know that my Diao San is a lone traveler. Hey, how can it be compared to your boss who is the king? If I have so many people as you, I'm still waiting for a hairy man. It's my own morning, and it's your turn to eat this bowl of rice?" Diao San curled his lips disdainfully and scolded back unwillingly, as if he was extremely unwilling to eat alone.
"Hey, grandma, I told you to join the group, but you have to go to the single gang. Well, this time you are dumbfounded. Hey hey, we are not too mysterious with you. If you want us to take action, we can double the deposit. When we see the money, we will do it. If you don't give it, we will break up!"
Sha Wanli smiled and cursed back, but his eyes were always staring at the cloaked guest, and his eyes were full of fear - three days ago, his old acquaintance Diao San took this person to the cottage, saying that there was a big business to do, and the deposit alone gave two thousand pieces of flying money, which was enough to be one of Sha Wanli. What he got from the looting in the year, Sha Wanli was so jealous that he even moved the idea of killing people. After a few tests, he found that the cloak was alert, and his martial arts skills were even more frightening. Even a few attendants were all masters of the masters, and the beginning seemed to be very great, so Sha Wanli did not dare to act rashly. However, when it's time to extort, Sha Wanli will not be soft after all.
"Humph!"
The cloakman seemed to be angry and snorted unhappily, but he still didn't say anything, but shook his hand, and a folded banknote had shot at the sand like a dart.
"Ha, that's interesting. Let's deal with this ticket. Let's go, guys, get ready to have a good time!"
Although the flying money came quickly, Sha Wanli just stretched out his hand and easily received it in his hand. He opened it and saw that it was Zhang Qianguan's flying banknotes. He immediately smiled with joy. Regardless of the cloak and Diao San's look, he laughed and led a group of men into the depths of the dense forest...
