Chapter 369 Mutation of the War

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Li Xian's face was wrong, the two veterans were in a slight light in their hearts. After exchanging eyes with each other, he took the lead in opening his mouth.

"Well, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in Hezhou!"

Li Xian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and replied in a slightly heavy tone.

"Ss..."

"Huh? What does Your Highness mean by this?

As soon as he heard Li Xian's strange words, Gao Yu couldn't help taking a cold breath, and Qi He Li asked suspiciously.

"Gu Gang got the news, and a Tubo cavalry has quietly covered up to a place less than 20 miles away from Hezhou. Whether Hezhou can still be between the two? If not, the war situation may change!"

In the face of the doubts of the two veterans, Li Xian did not hide too much and directly told the news.

"How could this happen? How did this Tubo army come from? Hundreds of miles from Tanzhou to Hezhou, there are dozens of beacons along the way. How can they not notice anything? How is this possible?

Hezhou is the jurisdiction of Gao Yu. When he heard that the Tubo army had been killed in Hezhou, his eyes turned red. He looked at Li Xian in disbelief and asked one after another.

How is it possible? Li Xian also hoped that this matter was impossible. Unfortunately, the wish was ultimately a wish, but the fact was extremely cruel - Hezhou Sala's troops secretly defected to Tubo, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, pretended to be a caravan, took down all the beacons along the way in the way, and cooperated with the Tubo cavalry to attack Hezhou's Qihan County, if it were not for a "Mingyi" secret pile. I tried my best to send out the information, but I was afraid that Hezhou had been lost and everyone was in the dark.

"General Gao doesn't know anything. Gu Gu has learned the exact news. Sala's troops have rebelled, and all the beacons along the way have been destroyed by him. Now it's time to get the news from Yao Assassin's Office in Hezhou. Maybe he can defend the city."

The matter of "Mingdi" is highly confidential. Li Xian is not easy to put it on the table, so he can only take it vaguely, but he does not hide the current real situation. Although he did not say it clearly, his words clearly show that Li Xian is not optimistic about the future of Hezhou - Hezhou assassin Yao Wangshu was originally One of the confidants of the former prince Li Hong was originally a supervisor of the imperial history. When the former Li Xian was stationed troops in Yutan, this man once gave Li Xian a knife, and then rose to the high position of the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies. After Li Hong's death, he was demoted from the capital and took up the position of Hezhou Assassin. Although he was a little literary talent, he was just a complete civil servant. Well, Yu doesn't understand the way to fight at all. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on it to defend Hezhou. At least Li Xian is not optimistic about his ability.

"Daw, alas..."

Not only was Li Xian not optimistic about Yao Wangshu's ability, but also Gao Yu, the chief official, who was not optimistic. As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he was so chagrined that he slapped his thighs and sighed, and his face was full of sadness - before Li Xian left Luoyang, he sent an urgent letter to Gao Yu, telling him to pay attention to the city of Hezhou. Defense, but Gao Yu did not pay attention to it. In his opinion, in the deep hinterland of Hezhou, there is a state in front of it, and there are two wings and Fang Erzhou as the cover. There is no need to pay too much attention to Hezhou at all. Hezhou has never paid attention to it. The huge Hezhou has sent more than a thousand-strong guard camp to the county. Already, even the civil corps have not been mobilized. The power of the defense is really weak, coupled with an assassin who is not good at martial arts. If you want to protect Hezhou, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky. If it is like Li Xian's analysis, I'm afraid that the four states will be in danger. If the four states are lost and they are the main officials, I'm afraid they can't escape accountability and not free. Gao is not angry with it.

"Your Highness, since Gar Qinling has made an idea to Hezhou, I'm afraid he really intends to take the land of my four states. What should we do now?"

Although the four states are not the place to guard, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. He doesn't want to fight against the army of Tubo alone. In addition, now Hexi is one. If he loses the battle, he can't get well. At this crisis, he can't care about the little discord between the past and Gao Yu, and rushed out. Ask the question.

"Wait a minute, in the heart of Qar Qinling, I'm afraid that the four states alone are not enough to satisfy their appetite. The two old generals, please gather the elites of each department and stand by. You have to see it clearly first!"

Hezhou is not allowed to lose. This is not only a matter of defending the land, but also related to the big plan for the final confrontation with Tubo in the future. Li Xian couldn't wait to rush to Hezhou immediately, but reason told him that if he acted like this, he might be led by the nose by gar Qinling. In case there is another loss, the consequences will not be a trouble. If you play, the result is that you lose all the game. After a little meditation, Li Xian still resisted the impulse to send troops immediately, and just calmly ordered.

"No!"

Li Xian is now the official governor of Hexi. Now that he has issued an order, the two veterans dare not neglect it. They bowed and agreed, said goodbye, and were busy dispatching troops without mentioning it.

Hezhou, the key is still in Hezhou! After the two veterans left, Li Xianduan sat behind several sons and thought about it carefully. He still didn't understand the strategic layout of the gar Qinling, but one Li Xian was clear that Hezhou could not afford to lose. Even if he had all the existing troops in Hexi, he must take back Hezhou, but at the right time. It was that the soldiers and horses could not be mobilized in time. Second, Li Xian still had deep doubts about the strategic intention of the gar Qinling. In this situation, Li Xian has no other way but to wait for news from Hezhou.

Hezhou, located in the south of the Hexi Corridor, covers a wide area, but the population is pitifully small. It is a state. In fact, there are only two counties, and they are only small counties with more than 10,000 people. Even if it is the county where it is governed, it is not very elegant. The scenery is beautiful, green mountains and green water. There is another kind of It is as beautiful as Taohuayuan, but it is not located on the Silk Road. There are few merchants, the county is depressed and vigorous, and the city is low and dilapidated. In terms of scale, it can't even compare with a small town in the Central Plains. It is obviously not a good thing to be an assassin in such a horn. At least for Yao Wangshu, he has been here since From a place, Yao Wangshu never paid attention to government affairs, and he was drunk every day. Even if the news of an emergency in Sanzhou came, Yao Wangshu could not raise a trace of spirit. Not to mention the emergency preparation for the war, even the curfew had never been imposed. Well, the sun has risen to three poles, and Yao Wangshu, who had not woken up, is still hugged the little. The concubine slept like thunder.

"Your Excellency, Lord Yao, it's not good, it's not good..."

Just as Yao Wangshu had a series of beautiful dreams, a servant hurriedly broke into the inner room and woke Yao Wangshu up wildly.

"Buncle, what's the panic? Let's die!"

Yao Wangshu sat up dizzy and turned up. As soon as he saw that he was sleeping peacefully, he suddenly became angry and did not ask why. He raised his hand and waved a big slap, which made the servant roll to the ground.

"Oh, my lord, it's not good. The Tubo army is coming, and the city can't be defended. Let's go!"

Although the servant grinned with pain, he did not dare to miss the big thing. He turned over and got up, regardless of the pain on his face, and shouted.

"Ah, what? Where is General Zhang?

As soon as he heard that the servant didn't seem to be telling a lie, Yao Wangshu immediately became anxious and couldn't take care of much. He jumped up with his bare arms and didn't care about the etiquette and etiquette. He asked in panic.

"Your Excellency, General Zhang has gone up to the city wall, saying that the enemy is strong, and he needs you to make a decision early!"

As soon as he saw Yao Wangshu's panic, the servant who came to report the news suddenly cooled down, but he didn't dare to miss the business and hurriedly reported it.

"Decisive? Decision? Ah, this, this..."

Yao Wangshu is a literati. Although he is not to the point where he has no power to tie a chicken, he can't talk about military martial arts at all. Under this urgency, he was stunned and wandered around the room with his bare arms. He kept talking and sweated like pulp, but he couldn't talk about it for a long time.

"Your Excellency, if you can't hold it, you'd better withdraw quickly. If the thief enters the city, then..."

The servant was obviously not a brave man. When he saw Yao Wangshu wandering around there, he was anxious and hurriedly approached and whispered.

"Withdraw? Ah, no, you can't withdraw. Come on, quickly close the gate of the city, and I will personally go to the city to fight against the enemy!"

Yao Wangshu wanted to evacuate the dangerous place, but when he thought that Li Xian, the king of England, was the king, who presided over the overall situation in Hexi now, immediately shivered, gritted his teeth, summoned up all his courage, roared, and ran out with his bare arms. As soon as he ran to the door, he stood at his feet hesitantly, and his face was uncertain. The ground is changing, sometimes it is resolute, sometimes it is sad, and sometimes it grits its teeth and hums coldly. As soon as it comes out, it immediately makes all the people who came to hear the news look straight...

"Report, the gate of Hanhan City has been closed, and the city is in chaos. Please make it clear to the general!"

In a mountain forest less than five miles away from Fanhan County, Herzzan, who rushed all the way, was accumulating his horsepower, thinking that he was preparing for the final siege. A detective horse galloped from the direction of Fanhan City. As soon as he saw Herzzan standing on a big stone beside the road, he immediately rushed over. A skilled saddle, and the man had fallen. He got off his horse and reported loudly on one knee.

"Hmm." Herzzan was not in a hurry to issue an order, but waved his hand and retreated the horse. Then he turned his head with a ferocious smile and looked at a strong man standing in the lower position. He curled his mouth and said, "Ning Gusidu, have you arranged all your people?"

"The general can rest assured that as soon as the troops and horses arrive, the last generals will respond in the city, and they can go down on the eve of Hancheng!"

This burly and strong man is Ning Gu Sidu, the head of Salah. Herzzan's ability to sneak here is all because of his cooperation, in order to get the countless benefits that Gah Qinling promised him. At this time, hearing Hertzan's question, Ning Gusi immediately patted his chest without hesitation.

"That's good. Come on, pass the order, the whole army will take the Han and go to the city to drink!"

Herzzan had already known that the defense of Hanhan City was empty, and there was no internal response. He also had absolute confidence to take the city. It was just a form to ask Ning Gusi. Hearing that Ning Gusi made a guarantee, he no longer hesitated, roared and jumped down. The big stone, with a force under his feet, has taken the opportunity to get on the horse's back, waved the whip, and led a group of men to rush to the city of Han like a rainbow...
