The general Pei Xin brought up several middle-aged men, who were also Han Chinese, but their clothes were slightly brighter.

"Your Highness, they are Han people in charge of affairs, and they know the situation better."

Several middle-aged men knelt down and saluted, "See His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

"Who are you, and why are you treated favorably by the Hui people?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

The first middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "We were also taken captive, because we are scholars and can write and read, so the Hui officials let us be engaged in it and assist them in managing Han slaves." ”

"How can these slaves be distinguished, aren't they all private slaves?"

"Your Highness, women are private slaves, but men are official slaves, and there are more than 10,000 official slaves working in the mines in the northwest direction, responsible for mining and smelting iron, which is about a hundred miles away from here."

Guo Song's spirits were lifted, and there were still more than 10,000 people, so he hurriedly asked, "How many defenders are there in the mine?" ”

"About two or three thousand."

Yao Jin said in a low voice: "In two or three days at most, the Hui army of the Sijie Department will be killed, and we will concentrate our forces to deal with this army first." ”

Guo Song nodded and asked, "Where did the Hui Khan and the nobles flee?" ”

"Xiaomin saw that they were going north, they should have fled to Fugui City, five hundred miles to the north, which is close to Exian Shui, and there are also many Hui herdsmen, but it is not the Yao Luo Ge Department, it is other Hui tribes."

Guo Song then ordered his soldiers to temporarily separate Han women and men, and sent 2,000 soldiers to protect them.

The next morning, 7,000 Tang troops and 15,000 camels also arrived in the royal city, and at this moment, Guo Song received a secret report from Chiya, the chief of the Tongluo tribe.

........

An army of 50,000 led by Jiegan was hurrying back to the city of Huiwang.

Jiegan is also a Hui royal family, and Gu Lulu is listed as the Hui minister, but he is better at leading troops to fight, this time Sijie broke out of civil strife, Hui Khan from other departments gathered 50,000 troops, so that Jiegan Jiasi led to Sijie, see the opportunity to act, implement the plan to annex Sijie.

After receiving the order to retreat, Jiegan was anxious, he knew that the defense of the royal city was weak, only 30,000 royal guards, and these 30,000 troops had no actual combat experience, the Tang army's blow could be said to have hit the key point of the Hui.

However, it is thousands of miles away from Sijie to return to the royal court, and it will take ten days to arrive at the earliest, and it will have to cross Wushan.

An army of 50,000 galloped all the way, and that afternoon, on the way back, an army arrived to join them.

This army was 3,000 cavalry led by Wuya, the chief of the southern part of Tongluo, and the Tongluo tribe was the largest servant tribe of the Uighurs, and there were nearly 8,000 people in the army of Jiegangas.

Gyalgarth hurriedly brought Red Fang to inquire about the situation.

"What is the situation on the Wangcheng side now, how many troops does the Tang Army have?" Jiegangas asked urgently,

"Back to the prime minister, Wangcheng is now safe and sound, the Tang army only has 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 camel logistics army, they are fighting with 30,000 royal army in Hungushui, both sides have their own victories and defeats, and when they come over, they are still in confrontation."

Jiegan Gaston breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Tang army this time was a sneak attack, and it was intercepted in time.

"Who is the commander of the Tang Army?"

Chiya shook his head, "I don't know. ”

Seeing that it was not early and that the soldiers were marching hard, he ordered: "The whole army will rest in place and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

The 50,000 Hui were exhausted and dismounted to rest, when Chiya found the chiefs of the other two Tongluo tribes, which were divided into three tribes, and the grazing land of these two tribes was close to the royal city and was conscripted, each with 4,000 troops, and the chieftain also went with the army.

The two chiefs, one called Ebony Tower and the other called Chibe, were both brothers of Chiya, originally the same tribe, and were forcibly split into three tribes by the Hui.

In a small tent for marching, Chiya told Guo Song's promise to the two brothers, and both Ebony Pagoda and Chi Bei became excited, and Ebony Pagoda asked in surprise: "Has the royal court been breached?" ”

Chiya nodded, "It has been breached, not only has the royal court been breached, but also the Hui Khan has died, Gu Lu has established Ah Si as the new Khan, the 70,000 troops of the Yao Luo Ge Department have been killed by the Tang army, and Gu Lu Lu led the other royal families and the old and weak women and children of the Yao Luo Ge Department to flee to Fugui City." ”

The amount of information was too large, Ebony Tower and Chi Bei were shocked, and they couldn't react for a while, and after a while, Ebony Tower suddenly said: "Speaking of which, isn't the Medicine Luo Ge Department completely finished?" ”

"It's really over, there are no young and strong men, women and children will be divided by other tribes sooner or later, and our chance to break away from Hui Hui has come."

The three brothers discussed all night, and they all agreed that this was their chance to get rid of the Hui slavery, and the three were so excited that the next day before dawn, Chiya sent a henchman to the royal court to deliver a letter to Guo Song.

As soon as the morning dawned, the Hui army set off eastward again, rushing to the royal court hundreds of miles away.

Two days later, the army reached the Oudghai Mountains, which would take at least a day to cross, and at night, the army stopped to rest in the gorge, where dozens of bonfires were lit while weary Uighur soldiers busily roasted mutton and drank milk wine.

At this moment, the main force of the Tang army had appeared thirty miles east of Wushan, Guo Song rode in the front, his eyes stared at the dark mountains in the distance, he learned from the scouts that the Hui army had entered the widest canyon, more than twenty miles wide, and now he waited patiently for the opportunity.

Now that the first watch has passed, according to the agreement between Chiya and him, he should act after the second watch.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the Tongluo people are not very reliable." Li Bing said in a low voice.

Guo Song shook his head, "Wait patiently!" ”

In fact, Guo Song did not trust the Tongluo people, before Yao Jin proposed, let the Tongluo army carry a large iron fire mine to the enemy to detonate, but Guo Song refused, iron fire and thunder is their most important strategic weapon, must not be touched by any grassland people, even the allies.

The time gradually came to two o'clock, the soldiers were full of food and drink, and lay down by the campfire to sleep, but the red teeth were restless, and kept looking in the direction of the mouth of the valley, his army and the other eight thousand Tongluo army stayed together, the position in the north of the center, although it was not clear to see the situation in the front, but the abnormality could be felt the same.

At this time, a cavalry rushed into the valley and shouted: "There is a situation! An enemy is coming! ”

The soldiers standing guard at the mouth of the valley immediately heard the wind and immediately rushed back to report that Jiegangas, who was at the mouth of the valley, was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ordered: "Ring the alarm bell at once, order the soldiers to get up and prepare for battle!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

Taniguchi sounded the alarm, and the sleeping Hui soldiers were awakened one after another, wondering what had happened?

Chiya knew the time had come and immediately sent someone to inform the two brothers.

Tongluo was the fastest, and they were the first to mount their horses and began to flee westward, shouting, "Flee! 200,000 Tang troops are here, and the devils of hell are also here! ”

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a series of explosions at the foot of the mountain to the south, and the explosions were earth-shattering and resounded through the valley.

At this time, in order to cooperate with the propaganda of Tongluobu, Guo Song threw several large iron fire thunders from the mountain according to the agreement.

Although the upper echelons of the Hui blocked the news that the Tang army had sharp firearms, there were still various rumors below, and it was precisely because there was no truth that the rumors were rampant, and the Hui soldiers called the iron fire thunder the thunder demon released from hell, and they were terrified of it, and when the earth-shattering explosion sounded again, the entire Hui army fell into a panic.

The escape of the Tongluo army undoubtedly brought a very bad head, as long as someone took the lead, the wind of escape could not be stopped.

More than 10,000 Tongluo soldiers rode wildly, shouting and shouting, the whole camp was shocked, the soldiers heard the wind and moved, and they chose to flee one after another, and the Hui soldiers in the middle and rear camps began to flee on a large scale.

At this time, an army of 50,000 slaughtered into the valley, like a gust of wind suddenly rising, carrying an overwhelming wind and sand swept in.

"Formation, resist!"

Jiegan Gasi hissed and shouted with all his might: "The middle army and the rear army will immediately come up for me!" ”

The front army was less than 10,000, only more than 8,000 people, and it was impossible to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of Tang cavalry.

At this time, a general rushed up and shouted: "Great Minister, the Chinese army and the rear army have fled." ”

"What?"

Jiegangas couldn't believe his ears, the front army was still resisting, and the middle and rear armies were broken and fled, how could it be?

"How many troops are left?" He snapped.

"No, two or three thousand people at most......"

Jiegan Garth only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly supported him, and he stabilized his mind and asked, "What happened?" Was it the explosion just now? ”

"It's a bit related to the explosion, but.... But it was mainly the Tongluo army that was encouraging everyone to flee, saying that 200,000 Tang troops were coming, and everyone was terrified. ”

"Tongluobu?"

Jiegan Gasi gasped, he suddenly understood, it was Red Fang, it must be him, he was the internal response of the Tang Army, and he led the wolf into the room by himself.

But as soon as he thought about it, he thought of a terrible fact, if Red Fang was deceiving himself, then Wang Cheng's side .......
