Wang Yuan's Shence Army is not easy to deal with. This is already the comment that Guli Pero has received from his mouth countless times. Whether it is from the mouth of the Tang Dynasty or from the mouth of the Hui soldiers, this is a common conclusion. Regarding Wang Yuan's past achievements and experiences, Guli Peiluo has certainly heard of it. Although he felt a little disapproving, Guli Peiluo was not an arrogant person, on the contrary, he was still a very cautious person.

It doesn't seem like he should fight Wang Yuan head-on, at least he violated the principle that Guli Peiluo has always adhered to to to get big benefits at a small cost. If you want to fight with Wang Yuan and pay too high a price, I am afraid that some gains outweigh the losses.

But the problem is that now, a battle with Wang Yuan seems inevitable. Because Wang Yuan has already begun to go north, he wants to pull out the meat that he has eaten in his mouth piece by piece, which is not something that Guli Peiluo can tolerate.

Regarding this matter, the people around Guli Peiluo are also divided into two factions.

One faction believes that there is no need to fight Wang Yuan head-on, this is Li Mao's business, and the Hui people should not pay too much price for Li Mao. Li Mao couldn't restrain Wang Yuan, and the Hui people had nothing to do with themselves anyway, and they had already gained a lot of benefits, so they simply withdrew to the grassland and no longer cared about the affairs of the Tang people.

The other faction believes that it is not easy to get Fengzhou and the surrendered city, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has approved that the city will be returned to the Su people, so giving up like this is not letting the boiled duck fly away. Moreover, if the Hui people want to go south to conquer the Central Plains in the future, Huaiyuan County, the surrendered city of Fengzhou, and other places are the best strategic springboard. Therefore, we must do our best to protect the interests that we have already obtained.

The two views are at odds and comparable, each with its own reasoning. In the end, it is also necessary for Guli Peiluo to make the final decision. After a fierce ideological struggle, interests and ambitions prevailed, and he decided to fight a decisive battle with the Shence army to defend his big fat piece to his mouth.

Guli Pero is not unaware of the huge cost that this decision will bring. But there were two reasons for his decision. First, he believed that with the 100,000 elite warriors in his hands, he would definitely have the upper hand in the confrontation with the Shence Army. Although there will be a price, if you can keep these treasures in Huaiyuan County, Fengzhou, it is worth paying the price. And although he paid the price, he could recover this loss from Li Mao in the future, and Li Mao would not dare not agree.

The second reason is that if the Hui army directly withdrew to the grassland, it could certainly avoid a major war and preserve its strength. But in this way, it is very likely that the Hui army will no longer have the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. This Wang Yuan's family is dominant, and Li Mao must not be his opponent. If Li Mao is defeated and the Central Plains regain unity and peace, then he may never have the opportunity to go south to conquer the Central Plains in his life.

On the contrary, when the Central Plains Dynasty freed up its hands, it may be the time to settle accounts with itself. Rather than waiting for the opponent's army to overwhelm the situation, it is better to face it directly this time and defeat it. After the victory of this battle, the large area of Huaiyuan County, Fengzhou, the surrendered city, will be impregnable. After spending the cost of the land and city obtained, what excuse does Li Mao have to go back in the future? And Guli Peiluo also has a small abacus, that is, if he can defeat the opponent, he may be able to take the opportunity to go south under the banner of chasing the opponent, attack Shudi, and occupy Wang Yuan's territory.

Of course, the risk of choosing to fight with Wang Yuan is not small, and I learned from many news sources that Wang Yuan's Shence Army is a strong army that wins all battles. Regarding the many brilliant achievements obtained by Wang Yuan in leading the Shence Army, Guli Peiluo also knew everything. This soldier is definitely a formidable enemy, and if he loses the battle, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But Guli Peiluo is a natural gambler, just as he dared to lead his troops to rebel when he only led seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, and finally defeated hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tubo. It was a big gamble. And he won the bet, won the entire northern prairie, and won the admiration and admiration of the world. This time it was also another gamble, and if he won the bet, he had the opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Moreover, compared to the previous one, the penalty for losing this bet is much smaller. If you don't have the worst of it, you will go back to the grassland to recuperate, and you won't lose all your belongings.

What's more, after in-depth analysis and comparison of the Shence Army, Guli Peiluo believes that his chances of winning are huge. Although the Shence Army was strong, although it had a brilliant record, it was because the opponent he faced was too weak. The Shence Army relied on nothing more than the trickery of Wang Yuan's army and the long-range weapons called Shenwei Cannons that his army had. But under the city of Fengzhou, how could he give him such an opportunity. In the Gobi Desert, a barren land, there was no chance for him to use his tricks. He will never shrink into the city and let his long-range weapons ravage, but will put his soldiers on the Gobi and engage in a face-to-face battle with him. His own 100,000 iron horsemen are enough to crush them, so that all their advantages cannot be used.

In view of the above considerations, Guli Peiluo strengthened his determination to fight to the death with the Shence army. When Qizanali led 80,000 soldiers and horses from Chang'an to Fengzhou, Guli Peiluo even combined the 10,000 garrisons of the surrendered city and the soldiers and horses who fled back from Huaiyuan County and the 10,000 elite cavalry of Fengzhou together to form a cavalry corps of more than 100,000, and set up a position under Fengzhou City, waiting for the arrival of Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses.

Today, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses finally arrived, and Guli Peiluo did not panic at all. He saw the configuration of the Divine Army. Only half of them were cavalry, and the rest were infantry and heavy horses pushing carts, which means that in the battle of the formation, only the 50,000 cavalry were opponents, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were negligible. But Guli Peiluo was still cautious, and instead of pounced on him as soon as he met, he decided to explore the truth first, and then intimidate the soldiers before he said it. Maybe Wang Yuan was already frightened when he saw the posture of his army. Scare him out of the way first. That's why there was the war letter sent to Wang Yuan. Or it can be called a threatening letter that disturbs the mind of the opponent.

The singer's singing voice was beautiful and tactful, and Guli Peiluo's heart was comfortable when he listened, squinting his eyes and gently beating the clap on the armrest of the recliner with his thick palm. No wonder the Tang people like it. Listening to the music and watching the dance, it turns out that this song is really charming, and it is more enjoyable than eating big fish and meat and drinking good wine.

Just a song. Guli Peiluo sat up, stretched his waist, brushed his unkempt beard and stood up.

"Great Khan, do you still want to listen? Do you want them to sing again? The personal servant stepped forward and bowed.

"Well, I'll hear it next time. It's not good to listen to too much music, and the person who listens to it has no strength, so he thinks about sleeping. No wonder people say that you can't indulge in the pleasures of beauty, even I can't stand this. Didn't the emperors and officials of the Tang Dynasty just like these to get to the point where they are today? Guli Pero waved his hand.

"It doesn't hurt to sweat day and night, and it's okay to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while." The servant smirked.

Guli Peiluo waved his hand, and the servants shouted at the singers, "Stand down, stand down." ”

The singers and musicians hurriedly got up and quickly rolled out the big tent. Guli Peiluo frowned and asked, "Has the person sent to the war letter come back, why hasn't he come back yet?" ”

The servant was about to answer, when he heard a loud noise outside the tabernacle, and a moment later the cry of Qizanali came from outside the tent: "Qizana seeks to see the Great Khan." ”

Guli Peiluo shouted, "Come in and talk." ”

The curtain flickered, and the dazzling light made Guli Peiluo squint, only to see Qizanali's whole body armor and jingle the curtain to enter. He walked quickly to Guli Peiluo's side, crossed his arms to his chest and bowed his head.

"Kizanali has seen the Great Khan."

Guli Peiluo nodded and said, "What do you want to do with me?" Has the messenger sent to the war letter returned? ”

"It is because of this that I came to see the Great Khan. Fuck it, it's pissed off at me. Wang Yuan didn't know how thick the sky was, and he dared to insult my messenger. He sat down on the chair next to him, reached out and grabbed a pot of mare's milk wine on the table, and poured half a pot of it.

"What's going on?" Guli Peiluo frowned and asked.

"The Great Khan should ask Gulli himself, I am ashamed to say it. Gulli, don't get in and see the Great Khan, I'll lose your face. Qizanali shouted.

The tent was lifted, and the disheveled messenger Gulli walked in quickly, and as soon as he entered the tent, he fell to his knees and began to weep as he saluted Guli Pero.

"Great Khan, Great Khan, I have no face to see the Great Khan, I am waiting for Wang Yuan to be humiliated by Wang Yuan and others without a face. The Great Khan calls us the masters......"

Guli Peiluo frowned and said, "Speak well, what are you crying about?" What happened? Where are your clothes? Why do you wrap your head in a cloth? ”

"Great Khan...... Woo woo, the villain went to send the Great Khan's war book to Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan's house...... They stripped us naked and humiliated us. More than a dozen of us walked naked in front of the battle for more than half an hour, and we were laughed at and sarcastic, which was a great shame. Great Khan, Wang Yuan didn't take the Great Khan in his eyes at all, although it was humiliating us, he was actually slapping the Great Khan in the face. Great Khan, he must not be spared this time. ”

Guli Peiluo's expression was extremely strange, shocked, annoyed, and funny. How could such a thing happen.

"The Great Khan, that's all, their soldiers cut our hair braids with their swords when they escorted us back to the camp, so that we are not ghosts, and there is another thing that the villain is really difficult to talk about, but the villain also has to inform the Great Khan of their beastly deeds. They burned the ...... with a fire break Burn...... Our crotch ...... of hair. Nearly ruined our lives. Root. Child. Sweat...... We're going to die for a long time. Gulli cried and continued.

Guli Peiluo frowned and stepped forward, and ripped off the cloth that Gurli had put on his head, but saw that Gurli's original braided thick hair was gone. A large area of the scalp was bare, one by one here and there, as if it had bald sores and lost hair. Some of the remaining hairs are like a handful of weeds in the east and west, and clumps of long or short crooked clumps are distributed on the head. The whole overhead is like a meadow that has been ravaged by a storm, an oasis that has been looted by a sand city storm, and a pasture trampled by yaks.

Guli Peiluo couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh out loud. Reach out and pull the cloth that Gulli had covered her nakedness. Gulli grabbed the cloth and refused to let go, it was a piece of cloth that he had wrapped when he returned to the barracks, just to cover the mess of nakedness. He really didn't want to expose his lower body to the Great Khan.

"Let go, do you want to die?" Beggar Zanari scolded, reached out and pulled his arm, kicked him in the ass, and Gulli fell to the ground on all fours, exposing the wildfire-burned grass to Guli Pero's gaze. It was hairy, and it had indeed been burned by fire. It's a mess, it's hard to see.

Guli Peiluo refused to look at the second after the first glance, frowned and threw the fig leaf on Gurli's body, and shouted, "Wrap up." ”

Gul quickly wrapped the strip of cloth tightly around the vital point, and his face was flushed with shame.

"Bold Wang Yuan, dare to humiliate me like this, is this guy a pervert? How did you do such a dirty thing? Guli Peiluo scolded.

"Great Khan, they say that we Hui people wear pigtails, and all of them look like women. They also said that the small thing of our Hui people could not be seen, so they had to burn their hair to see it. They also said...... The sweaty thing is probably thinner than a bamboo stick, smaller than a small bug, and softer than a snot...... They also said......" Gulli crackled.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? Guli Peiluo scolded angrily.

Gulli hurriedly shut his mouth, bowing his head and not daring to speak. Guli Peiluo scolded coldly: "Wang Yuan, this madman, is really shameless, he actually uttered such heart-wrenching humiliating words, does this madman really not know that he is dying?" ”

Qizana hurriedly said: "The Great Khan is angry. I said a long time ago that this guy Wang Yuan is fundamentally different from other Tang people, and now you have learned his rudeness and shamelessness. Great Khan, we don't need to learn the Tang people's set of war books at all. If, by virtue of their humble duties, when they arrive this morning, while they are still on their footing, our army should storm without giving them a respite......"

Guli Peiluo stared at Qizana coldly and said, "You're accusing Ben Khan, aren't you?" ”

Qi Zhanali was startled, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be lowly, I just persuade the Great Khan not to speculate on this Wang Yuan with common sense." This man is a madman. Look at these things he does, what is not a madman? He led the army to dare to oppose our Hui army, which in itself was a mad act. Despicability means that such a madman can only be accomplished by cutting off his head, and he has no idea what fear is. ”

Guli Peiluo said in a deep voice: "You know a fart!" Wang Yuan wished that we would fight them as soon as we came up, his soldiers and horses had difficulty supplying food, grass and water, and at this moment their food, grass and water were still enough, so they must hope to fight us before these supplies were exhausted. Our army is fighting at this moment, and it is in their hands. Although I can defeat them as well, I am afraid that I will also lose a lot of losses with 100,000 iron horsemen. Do you hope that after this battle, only half or less of my 100,000-strong army will remain? The rarest thing we are now is an adult soldier, one less if you die, it will take at least seven or eight years for the people on the grassland to recover, and those teenagers now can become combatable warriors, do you hope that in these seven or eight years, we can only wait for the revival of the people to grow up, and do nothing? ”

Qizanali smacked his lips and said, "What does the Great Khan mean...... Don't attack first, and when their food, grass and water are exhausted and their morale is low, then destroy and flatten them? ”

Guli Pei Luo said coldly: "The supply line is so long, he has supplied from Shu to here, a distance of 1,700 miles, and the consumption of 100,000 soldiers and horses, can he eat it?" His men and horses must have been resupplied before crossing the river, five or six days ago. Supplies of supplies for up to ten days at a time, grain and grass, and in a few days, they will run out of food and water. ”

"Great Khan Mingjian, it turns out that the Great Khan thinks so, how can I say that the Great Khan has always ordered us to stand still. So what happened today, let's bear with it? Don't bother with him? Kizanali asked.

"Wang Yuan's humiliation of my messenger today is just to provoke me to fight, don't think that I don't know his thoughts. And write down this account, and settle the account with him in a few days. You don't have to be like him. Guli Peiluo said in a deep voice.

Qizanali was very surprised, the Great Khan would actually say such a thing, is this still Guli Peiluo? When did the Great Khan know how to forbear? Actually endured such an insult, the previous Great Khan was a little hot-tempered, and he was so humiliated by Wang Yuan's people, I am afraid that he would immediately lead his troops to pounce on the enemy camp. The Great Khan has changed, he has become a bit like a Tang person, and he knows how to play conspiracy, which I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. However, in the eyes of Kizanali, the Great Khan's caution was unnecessary. With 100,000 elite horsemen, isn't it like destroying the Shence Army to deal with it? The Great Khan is afraid that his ambition has receded, and he is indulging in pleasure. These days, hiding in the big tent every day and listening to the sound of glamour, Qizanali and many generals secretly have a lot of complaints.

"But the brothers are angry enough, and the generals are clamoring to fight, they can't stand Wang Yuan's humiliation. It's going to be a big demoralizer. Qizanali smacked his lips.

"Tell them that no one is allowed to do it without permission, otherwise, they will be dealt with by military law." Guli Peiluo shouted.

“…… Okay......" said Kizanali helplessly.

Guli Peiluo's eyes fell on Gurli who was sitting on the ground, and when he saw the messy and bald hairstyle on his head, he felt sick for a while. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Gulli, Wang."
