Chapter 541 Death and Life 9

In September, it is already late autumn. The vegetation is extremely lush. The endless grassland is full of green grass, daisies are in full bloom, and the beasts and eagles fly. It is really a good place to walk in autumn. However, Li Xian's heart is not above such a beautiful scenery. Although his eyes swept through several blooming flowers from time to time, the sight is I have never stopped for a moment. My eyes are sometimes as sharp as a knife, and sometimes I am worried. Although it is not obvious, the ups and downs in my heart are indisputable facts.

Since I left the army from the camp in Sanzhou, it has been two days. Everything has been going well and unsurprising. Not to mention the obstruction of a large number of Tubo troops, even the tribal noisans have never seen one, that is, occasionally some sneaky Tubo whistles peeping back and forth in the distance. In addition, there is nothing unusual. Everything seems normal. Even Li Xian can't see anything wrong, but his heart is very tight. He vaguely feels that something big will happen, but he can't say where such an unknown forebode came from. He can't help but feel a little anxious, but he can't talk about it with others. He can only meditate and think alone. Where the squat is.

"Your Highness, the deer returns to the tribe!"

Li Xian obviously thought too much. He didn't notice that an eagle flew from the northwest and circled over the army for a long time. It was not until a whistle sounded in the army that the eagle swooped at a high speed and fell into the army. For a few moments, he saw Zhang Mingwu, a middle officer, in a hurry. The horse came to Li Xian's horse and hurried to report.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the sound, Li Xian suddenly raised his head, said a soft voice, and didn't say much. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he had taken over the small copper pipe in Zhang Mingwu's hand. He twisted the hidden button on it very skillfully, took out a note full of words from the inside, spread it out, and his heart suddenly twitched, and his face turned blue in an instant. .

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

The Luhui tribe is only one of the many small and medium-sized tribes that secretly returned to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Mingwu, as a middle-aged officer, knows this. Originally, he didn't care much about the letter from the Luhui tribe, but as soon as he saw Li Xian's face changing wildly, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly asked.

"It's an accident. Hey, I'm looking at the old thief of Qinling. This guy actually played a secret trick with Gu, and now his main force is all going north. I'm afraid there will be a big trouble on the other side of Li Jinxing."

Zhang Mingwu is a confidant. Li Xian would not hide too much from him, so he shook his head gently and explained with a slight wry smile.

"The main force is going westward? No, General Li is afraid that he is going to be in danger. Your Highness, the last general thought that Mr. Qinling must have set up an ambush on Tianjun Pass. If General Li is unprepared, once he is attacked, he may not have a chance of winning. It should not be too late. Please send troops to save him immediately.

Zhang Mingwu was originally a careful person. Over the years, he has learned a lot of military strategy with Li Xian. He is also willing to study hard on weekdays. He has already completely penetrated the topography of Tuyuhun. At this time, although Li Xian only mentioned it briefly, he can instantly break through the ambush of the gar Qinling.

"Hmm."

Naturally, it needs to be saved. The problem is how to save it is a big trouble. Li Xian did not dare to make a decision easily for a while. In the face of Zhang Mingwu's earnest advice, he could only say a soft word without saying anything, but his brain ran at a high speed in silence.

Time, the key is time. Since he entered the army, for the safety of his safety, Li Xian has not gone very fast. So far, he has only gone more than 100 miles into Tuyuhun. According to the distance, it is still 500 miles away from Tianjun Mountain. If you want the whole army to rush there, you must at least It takes five days, and according to the scheduled battle plan, the Anxi army should have been close to Tianjun Mountain at this time. At most, it will fall into the encirclement of the Tubo army in half a day. Even if the Anxi army can fight again, it is obviously impossible to persist for five days in hundreds of thousands of troops. There is no doubt that the whole army is not very likely to rush to rescue. In fact.

There is no way to relieve the siege. There is a possibility of a front-line success if the cavalry rushes lightly, but this possibility is really not much higher. After all, among the 45,000 troops in Li Xian's hands, only 15,000 are the cavalry that can really be used, and the rest are foot soldiers, although most of the troops are also equipped. Unfortunately, because of his riding skills and equipment, he could not keep up with the footsteps of the cavalry at all. On the contrary, he may be dragged down in a long and urgent hurry. With only 15,000 cavalry, Li Xian really can't guarantee that he will be able to save the Anxi Army. In case his own reinforcements are also trapped in the mire, the consequences But it's unbearable. Li Xian can't be careful if he is not careful.

"Report, Your Highness, General Li's urgent case!"

Just as Li Xian was still undecided, he saw a personal guard rushing to the front and reported loudly.

"What? Bring it here!"

Li Xian was thinking about how to save Li Jinxing. Hearing that an urgent matter was coming, his heart immediately tightened again. He couldn't help exclaiming. He grabbed the small copper pipe in the hand of the guard, quickly twisted the dark button, took out a small rolled note from the inside, and took a closer look. Huo Ran loosened his frown.

"Your Highness, General Li..."

Zhang Mingwu did not dare to disturb Li Xian's meditation before, but when he saw Li Xian's eyebrows, he suddenly opened up. Obviously, he had gained something, and his curiosity couldn't help but arose, so he hurried to ask.

"Ha ha, it's a good thing. The Anxi Army has delayed its trip. Now it's still a day away from Tianjun Mountain. Instead, he first sent Wang Bing to lead the vanguard army to take Wuhai City. Hey, this is really a sign of the death of Tubo!"

A day's delay in the journey certainly can't make Li Xian's whole army rush to Tianjun Mountain, but it is more than enough to use it to send letters from flying eagles. It can not only skillfully solve the ambush of the main force of the Tibet army, but also take the opportunity to set up Gar Qinling together, but it is well planned, and a great victory is already foreseeable. Li Xian is in a good mood. Then he explained it with a smile.

"So that's it. That's really great. God bless me, Tang Dynasty!"

Zhang Mingwu was intelligent by nature. As soon as he heard it, he knew the key to the matter. With great joy, he couldn't help laughing.

"Pray a pen and paper!"

Li Xian was excited, but he would not forget the business and didn't talk much. He waved his hand and shouted. Several personal guards took a few pieces, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Li Xian did not think that the grass was dusty. He sat down with his robe, picked up the pen and wrote it quickly. Finally, he folded the secret letter carefully and sealed it with his own hands. He entered a small copper tube and ordered the guard who fed the eagle to send the message out.

"The order of passing on the orphans: All the cavalry gathered immediately, equipped with two horses, and rushed to Tianjun Mountain with the king. The rest of the troops were led by the Black Tooth General. Be sure to get to Tianjun Mountain within four days, no mistake!"

Li Xian silently watched the eagle spread its wings and fly to the northwest. It was not until he could not see the shadow of the eagle that he lowered his head, suddenly looked solemn, and ordered loudly.

"Wow. Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo..."

Li Xian's general order, and his own trumpeter blew the order to gather. The Tang army, which was advancing slowly, was in a panic for a long time, and the command of the generals shouted one after another...

"It's too slow. Give orders to all departments, speed up, and cheer me up!"

In the Qaidam Basin, the Anxi army is still struggling, but because the vanguard army has taken away a large number of war horses, the speed of the march is uncontrollably slow. Although it has been rushing for a day, it can only see the Tianjun Mountain standing far end of the horizon from afar. If you really want to go, you have to For more than a day, as soon as this situation came out, Li Jinxing's anger in his heart could not be suppressed. He cursed and urged his army to rush forward, regardless of the fact that the sky had been blackened.

"Report, General, Your Highness urgent letter!"

Just as Li Jinxing was furious and ordered repeatedly, he saw a personal guard running over with an eagle and reporting breathlessly.

"Bear me!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's letter, Li Jinxing did not dare to neglect it. He didn't care about rebuking the troops again. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and almost took over the small copper pipe in his own hand. He took out the sealed secret letter from it, took a deep breath and spread the letter paper flat. At a glance, his face immediately turned pale. It's weird.

"It can't be like this. Oh, it's really unexpected. Are you going to die? Put it to death and then live!"

The letter was not long, and there were only more than a dozen lines of words, but Li Jinxing read it for a long time. At the end, he muttered strangely, and his face was full of surprise.

"General, are you all right?"

Li Jinxing's self-speaking look, how strange he is, is as strange as if he is crazy. As soon as this situation came out, Li Wei, the captain of the guard beside him, couldn't help but be a little worried. He quickly flashed out of the side and asked suspiciously.

"No, it's okay. The order: The whole army will camp on the spot, and the generals of each department will come here immediately!"

It's a matter of confidentiality. Li Jinxing didn't want to say more. Even if the captain of the guard was his cousin, he casually said perfunctory, and then he was solemn and gave the order.

"Ah..."

Previously, Li Jinxing kept ordering to hurry up. It was only a lot of effort that he was going to camp, and the changes before and after were too big. Li Wei was surprised and did not dare to respond to his order for a while. He just looked at his coach.

"Buncle, what are you doing? Are you looking for a smoke?"

As soon as he saw Li Wei standing stunned and motionless, Li Jinxing's hot temper broke out. He stared and cursed rudely.

"Ah, yes, the last general obeys!"

Seeing that Li Jinxing was about to lose his temper, Li Wei did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly answered and arranged for the order. With the sound of the horn, the Anxi army, which was rushing all the way, immediately stopped moving forward and hurriedly began the camp work...
