1231. I want to burn the king of white orchid

Mantou Mountain, this is located in the northwest of the West Sea, you can see the majestic snow mountain from afar, at this time the Mantou Mountain is snow-capped, in summer, the ice and snow here will turn into snow water, offering the pearl of the northwest - the West Sea.

Mantou Mountain is not a high mountain that cannot be climbed, there is a gap in the middle of this mountain, as if it was split by a man with an axe, and the other end of the mountain pass is one of the few cities in the northwest grassland - Mantou City.

There is a pass in the mountain pass, guarding the mountain pass, and there are always more soldiers stationed here than in Mantou City, because the pass of Mantou Mountain is the gateway to Mantou City, as long as the pass is not lost, it is enough to ensure that Mantou City is not lost.

Because from the direction of the Tang Dynasty, the only way to enter Mantou City is from the valley pass, because it is basically impossible to climb over the vast snow-capped mountains, and it is even more difficult to attack Mantou City from the north around the wide West Sea, not only the road is long, but also the countries of the Western Regions are all along the way.

Night falls, the cold wind howls in the snowy region, as the moon rises, it seems that there are still animal cries in the distance, in the pass of Mantou Mountain, a slightly flat hillside, densely packed with the tents of the Tuyuhun people, stretching from the pass to the deeper, several nearby quite high mountains, there are also scattered tents.

Although it is a stretch of camp tents, but the camp is disorderly, one in the east and one in the west, messy, it can be seen that although the Tuyuhun people are Xianbei people, they are also deeply sinicized, but they are still the character of the grassland nomads in their bones, although they attach great importance to the Han people's art of war and tactics, but they will not study and implement them with one mind.

In the middle of the camp, there is a rather tall camp tent, brightly lit, with a tall flag erected at the door, rustling in the night wind, and two rows of guards sandwiching each other on the left and right, very majestic.

This camp is the camp of the Bailan King, one of the famous kings of Tuyuhun, each Khan of Tuyuhun has sealed the sons and close to the royal family as the famous king, which is equivalent to the prince of the Han family, and this Bailan King is a very powerful king of Tuyuhun, inherited for hundreds of years, occupies a vast fertile land, has countless cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of slaves, and is the fourth person in Tuyuhun after the Khan, the King of Tianzhu and the Minister of State Gaochang King Murong Xiaoyun.

At this time, King Bailan was furious, and scolded in Xianbei language mixed with stiff Chinese: "Impossible, it is impossible for Alugui to turn his back on this king, he has followed this king for ten years, his archery and his sense of smell have made him a warrior of Bailanbu, and his loyalty is recognized by the Buddha."

King Bailan shook his head and shouted, pointing to a famous king sitting below him, and angrily reprimanded: "Khursa, it must be the lowly Lang Zhong you sent who killed him, otherwise, he wouldn't have come back after dark."

This Khursa is also one of the famous kings of Tuyuhun, but he belongs to the Bailan Department, and his power is also very weak, he was scolded by King Bailan so pointed his nose and scolded, Khursa was not angry, he didn't dare to show the slightest unhappiness at all.

I had to bow my head and confess my guilt: "The king forgives his sins, his subordinates will not use people, I missaw this lowly Langzhong, and I didn't see that he would take refuge in Tang Dog." He didn't dare to show his displeasure and not say anything, and Kulsa didn't even dare to beg for mercy, so he had to put on a good attitude and actively confess his guilt, because he knew that King Bai Lan had a domineering personality and would not tolerate the slightest bit of thorns in his subordinates.

"Hmph, more than 100 warriors, go out for a turn but none of them come back, say go out and throw me Bailanbu", Bailan Wang was very annoyed, because in the morning Huersa suggested, saying that the Tang army had gathered in Shanzhou City, for the safety of the camp, it is best to know the movements of the Tang army in advance, and it is best to send scouts to investigate.

This is very reasonable, King Bailan is not a waste, naturally he agreed, and then Kulsa said that King Bailan's personal guard Alugui is a famous warrior on the grassland, very careful, and various cases such as murder, property abandonment, and disappearance in Bailanbu are all for Alugui to solve, and Alugui is a detective in the Han population.

This request is not too much, after all, people make the best use of it, and the king of Bailan naturally agreed, but he didn't expect that this time he would never return, Alugui is familiar with the grassland, and naturally knows that he can't spend the night alone in the snow field at night, first, the weather is very cold, and he can't bear it at all, and secondly, there are many wild wolves, jackals, dogs and other animals at night.

"Wang, you say, is it possible that they were killed by Tang Dog?"

After King Bailan's anger subsided for a while, Hursa looked at his face and whispered cautiously, his raised thick eyebrows flashed from time to time, showing that this famous king who was not very famous in Tuguhun was not a pure rough person, at least he thought about problems with his brain, which was also the reason why King Bailan valued him a lot.

When King Bailan heard Khursa's words, his eyes flashed fiercely, and then he returned to his seat, sat down, and opened the parchment scroll next to him, with some rough lines outlined on it, this is a map, of course, compared to the map dedicated to Li Jing by the shadow, it is very different, this map is just a simple line, not even the direction of mountains and rivers.

"Impossible, this time we Tuyuhun is deployed on the whole line, thousands of miles away from east to west, our Mantou Mountain is located in the northwest, far away from Shanzhou, the camp of the Tang Army, and if we want to start a war, we will be the first to fight on the side of Niuxindui and Kushan, and now I haven't heard any news from there." King Bailan frowned and guessed.

"How is it possible, Khursa, don't think that you are as resourceful as Han Zhuge , Han Zhuge is a figure that can be compared with the great Tanshi Huai, you look at how far we are from Shanzhou, even if we run over with the king's good horse, it will take a day and a night, and such a big snowstorm, how can the Han people run far away to us."

Seeing that King Bailan seemed to value Kulsa's opinion a little, one of the people in the tent also hurriedly sneered.

"Well, it makes sense, the distance is too far, and the wind and snow are very bad, it must not be the Tang Army, it must be that lowly Lang Zhong who fooled the king of Alugui and fled." King Bailan also said firmly, gritting his teeth and cursing the scout Lang Zhong who did not leave his name.

Seeing that King Bailan had such an attitude, he valued Alugui very much, and Khursa couldn't help but think of a rumor in Bailanbu, and suddenly his back tightened, and he was full of excitement, after all, Alugui was really good-eyed......

Twenty miles southeast of Mantou Mountain, in an unknown place, in a mountain recess, the ground is low, and the camp tents are in the low recess, just to shelter from the wind.

"Although General Su has completely annihilated the Bailan scouts today, and has not leaked the news, but more than 100 scouts have not returned for a long time, and the Bailan King will definitely be suspicious, two generals, what do you think?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Daliang, the head of the last march and the governor of Liangzhou, looked at the two lieutenants and asked expressionlessly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Su Dingfang Qi He Li and the two glanced at each other, and Qi Qi He Li bowed slightly and said, "General Su please first."

Qi Bi He Li is not a reckless man, after he came to Chang'an, he just went around making friends with nobles and inquiring about the news, he was a subordinate general of the Tiele Department, so it was naturally impossible to be rude in front of this prince's cronies.

Su Dingfang was also not polite, and after nodding, he also said bluntly: "Manager Li, according to the opinion of the last general, we should immediately mobilize troops and surprise attack Mantou Mountain.

Li Daliang nodded slightly, noncommittal, and looked at Qi He Li, who also nodded cautiously and said: "The last general also thinks that the Bailan Department at this time must be lax in defense, if it is a surprise attack, maybe it can be broken in one fell swoop."

Listening to the opinions of the two lieutenant generals, Li Daliang rubbed his chin, his eyes were slightly blind, and he also said slowly: "But the Mantou Mountain Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how to attack it?" ”

"Steward, please see, the Mantou Mountain Pass is built between the mountain passes, the left and right mountains are high, although it is impossible to climb the mountain to attack left and right, and there are no wooden rolling stones, but we can set fire to it." Su Dingfang's eyes were bright, and he pointed to the Tuyuhun topographic map on the ground and said.

"Fire?" Li Daliang's eyes lit up, and then he seemed to think of the actual situation, and he also shook his head and smiled.

Qi Bi He Li also said helplessly: "Although the fire is good, there are no lush trees and grasses in the Central Plains in this icy and snowy snowy area, how can it cause a fire."

Su Dingfang shook his head, raised his head and pointed to the tent above his head, "It doesn't have to be trees and grass to start a fire...".

When Li Daliang and the others saw Su Dingfang's appearance, they were stunned at first, and then they were shocked, and Li Daliang was even more angry and said: "Nonsense, in such a bitter cold weather, if there is no tent, how can you survive."

"Yes, there are no tents, and at night, not to mention the very cold weather, this wind will blow us stiff." Qi Qi He Li also nodded hurriedly. He lived in the Turkic Tiele tribe in the northern part of the steppe, but he knew the role of tents in the snowy fields.

"Don't worry, as long as we break through the Mantou Pass, we still have no place to live, and once we don't take Mantou Mountain, we will be blocked at the foot of this Mantou Mountain, then our situation will be even more critical, because we only have dry food, even if we don't have enough firewood to make cooked food, we won't be able to last long." Su Dingfang said with a heavy face.

"The tent was made of a cloth curtain and leather soaked in grease, and it was set on fire, and the tent of the Tuyuhun camp was made of almost all leather, and when it touched the fire, the fire would be the wind, and the camp would become a sea of fire."

Saying that, Su Dingfang's eyes were shining, and he said: "And burning the tent is a battle against the water, and you can't take Mantou Mountain, and you will freeze to death when you reach your waist, and the soldiers don't need soldiers." At that time, small groups of suspicious soldiers can be deployed on the high slopes of the valley to the left and right, beating the war drums and cymbals, causing a chaotic scene of soldiers on three sides, and the Bailan Department will definitely fall into a panic, and it will definitely be broken in one battle."

Su Dingfang clenched his fists and said very confidently, he learned from Li Jing with soldiers, made good use of strange soldiers, and fought face-to-face in formation, which may not be the best at this, which is not as good as Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui is the best at fighting formations, and Su Dingfang uses soldiers to be strange, and loves this kind of strategy to break the enemy.

Li Daliang listened to Su Dingfang's reasons one by one, his eyes were also bright, and he was quite happy, looking at the Mantou Mountain Pass on the map, which was high on both sides and low in the middle, and then looked at the extremely flammable tent above his head, he also hit his left palm with his right fist, and shouted: "Okay, General Su's clever plan, worthy of the pharmacist's master's apprentice, so he will follow General Su's plan." It's just that when should the time of this attack be set? Do the two generals have ideas? ”

Qi Bi He Li did not give in this time, and he had already given Su Dingfang the credit for his plan, but he couldn't give him all the credit, and immediately said bluntly: "According to the last general, you can attack at the time of Yin, and when you are asleep, no matter how good you are, you will wake it up in its sleep, and you will definitely make it feel helpless."

Li Daliang looked at Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang saw that Qi Bi He Li was so anxious, and he also understood, and immediately nodded and said: "However, what General Qi Bi said is exactly what I want." Anyway, Yinshi's offense is really good, and there is no need to fight with him.
