The army was so excited at the moment, Fan Lihua simply let the army light up the torches, marched at night, and soon came to the front of the canyon, and sure enough, he found that a narrow passage appeared in the middle of the canyon that was originally tightly blocked, about ten zhang wide, with cobblestones on both sides, and there were many potholes or gravel on the ground vacant in the middle.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was even more convinced that this was the work of the divine thunder, because it was impossible for human beings to do this, and the earth-shattering explosion just now had proved everything.

The army lined up in a long line, passing through this narrow passage, under the moonlight, looking down from the sky, the army below was like a dark dragon swimming in the canyon, eerie.

At dawn, the army marched out of the meandering canyon, Fan Lihua stopped the army and climbed the heights, took out the binoculars and looked around, and then passed the military order and marched towards Xinyuan City.

Cheng Chuliang was very confused when he heard this order, rode to Qin Huaiyu's side, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, there are still 50,000 Western Turkic troops that have not yet been resolved, so it doesn't seem good for us to attack Xinyuan City, if the 50,000 troops and the 20,000 troops in Xinyuan City attack us back and forth, wouldn't it be very bad?" ”

Qin Huaiyu actually thought so, but after experiencing this great victory, he had already admired Fan Lihua so much, so he whispered back: "General Fan is like a god in his army, when she was stationed in the canyon before, she seemed stupid, and in the end, she wiped out the Western Turkic army without spending a single soldier, and this time it must be the same, she decided so, she must have her plan." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Chuliang nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly, "I know, I'm actually just curious, and I want to know the plan of the chief manager." ”

At this time, the chubby Yu Chi Baolin happened to ride over on horseback, and when he heard Cheng Chuliang's words, he immediately smiled and said, "You are curious, if you are curious, you will ask the chief manager." ”

Cheng Chuliang smacked his lips and stopped talking, to be honest, he was a little scared of Fan Lihua, Fan Lihua governed the army strictly, did not smile in the army, was quite majestic, and exerted the majesty of the handsome to the extreme, no one dared to disobey her will, and the soldiers were obedient and afraid of her, and Cheng Chuliang was very afraid of her.

Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll go and ask." As he spoke, he kicked his horse and drove it in the direction of the Chinese army.

Qin Huaiyu rode a horse to Fan Lihua's side, Fan Lihua was riding a lion and walking unhurriedly, turned her head and saw Qin Huaiyu coming, and immediately asked, "Something?" ”

Qin Huaiyu nodded and asked, "Grand Governor, there are still 50,000 Western Turkic troops in the rear that have not been destroyed, will it be too risky for us to attack Xinyuan now?" ”

"Of course." Fan Lihua nodded and said, "I just said that I would march to Xinyuan, not that I would attack Xinyuan immediately." ”

Qin Huaiyu was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Don't attack Xinyuan?" So why march towards Xinyuan? ”

Fan Lihua slowly raised her head, her eyes were slight, and she said: "It is Yang Dingguo who guards Xinyuan, this person is a famous man in the battlefield of the Western Turks, and my ability to fight is taught by him, he guards Xinyuan, and it is difficult to capture." ”

Qin Huaiyu exclaimed when he heard this: "He is the mentor of the chief manager? ”

Fan Lihua nodded and said: "Sort of, my father has a good relationship with him, when I was young, Yang Dingguo met me at my house, saying that although I am a daughter, but I have divine power, and I am a smart and righteous person, I am a good talent, so I asked him to learn the art of war with him, this learning, is seven years, I have been from seven years old to fourteen years old, I can see him almost every day, and I know his temperament and the art of using soldiers. ”

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly asked, "Since this person is so powerful, how do you plan to capture Xinyuan?" ”

"If you want to break Xinyuan, it's not ......impossible," Fan Lihua said leisurely, "But we have to pay a big price, we only have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and we still have to keep the strength to attack Sanmi Mountain, so we can't waste too much energy on Xinyuan, and the only way is to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"What does the chief manager mean......" Qin Huaiyu asked in surprise, "Is it to lure Yang Dingguo out of Xinyuan City?" ”

"Exactly." Fan Lihua nodded.

Qin Huaiyu said in disbelief: "Since Yang Dingguo is a famous general on the battlefield, how can he be easily fooled?" ”

Fan Lihua said: "Naturally, he will not be fooled, but if I start a war with Ge Biluo's 50,000 army near Xinyuan, and Ge Biluo is in danger of defeat, will he be indifferent?" ”

Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a while when he heard this, and after a long time, he had to hug his fists and say: "The chief manager is clever, Qin Huaiyu admires it." ”

Fan Lihua turned her head to look at him, and said lightly: "I know the details of the Western Turks, and I know every general of the Western Turks well, to put it bluntly, I am just opportunistic." ”

Qin Huaiyu admired Fan Lihua even more when she heard this, she was not very old, she used soldiers like a god, and she was calm and introverted, not impetuous at all, this is absolutely handsome.

Fan Lihua's army appeared on the grassland, and was soon discovered by Ge Biluo's scouts, who led an army of 70,000 to chase after them, and Fan Lihua pretended not to find them and continued to march towards Xinyuan.

Three days later, Fan Lihua came to fifteen miles outside Xinyuan City and ordered to set up camp, Yang Dingguo in Xinyuan City had already discovered the arrival of the Tang army, and the whole city was waiting for it.

At dawn, Ge Biluo came with an army of 70,000, and stopped ten miles away from the Tang army camp, the distance of ten miles seemed to be very far, but the Tang army's camp was more than eight miles wide, standing in the camp of the party, you could see the dense army of the other party, tens of thousands of people, a sea of people, not to mention so many people.

As soon as he heard that Ge Biluo's army was coming, Yang Dingguo immediately sent a fast horse out of the city to send a letter to Ge Biluo, asking him not to start a war with the Tang army, and to bring all his troops and horses into Xinyuan City to defend the city together.

After reading Yang Dingguo's letter, Ge Biluo directly tore it apart, and said coldly to the soldier who sent the letter: "You go back and tell Yang Dingguo that this general is fighting, and it is not his turn to point fingers, he is better afraid of death, let him be a shrunken turtle in the city, don't come to rob General Ben's credit, otherwise General Ben will not be polite to him!" ”

The soldier who delivered the letter returned to Xinyuan City with a disgraced face, and looked at the soldier who sent the letter riding away, Ge Biluo snorted disdainfully: "Hmph! This Yang Dingguo is really getting older and more timid, because he was still a famous general of my Western Turks back then. ”

At this time, Ashina Shabi's son Ashina Lulu immediately stepped forward and said: "General, you can't underestimate this Dililarna, my father suffered a loss from the enemy, so he ended up like this, it is better to let Yang Dingguo lead his troops out of the city to attack the Tang army with us in front and back, and he will definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

"Not necessarily!" Ge Biluo waved his hand, looked at the Tang army camp with deep eyes, and said, "Your father was defeated because he fell for Dililarna's tricks, and now he is on the prairie, what tricks and ambushes can she have?" ”

At this time, Luo Kun on the side suddenly said: "General, although I am not very proficient in marching and fighting, I know that everything is based on safety, the combat power of the Tang army has always been extraordinary, although we have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses than them, but there is no certainty of victory, the general might as well let General Yang lead the troops to the side to sweep the formation, in order to be perfect." ”

"Yes, General." Groni also said, "If you can win, the credit belongs to the general, if you can't fight, Yang Dingguo can also lead troops to support us, this is a good way to get the best of both worlds." ”

The rest of the generals also nodded their heads when they heard this, thinking that this method was good.

Ge Biluo pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, this is indeed a good idea, so let's do it." ”

So he immediately wrote a warrant and sent someone to Xinyuan City on a fast horse.

In Xinyuan City, when the messenger relayed Ge Biluo's words to Yang Dingguo, Yang Dingguo was so angry that he slapped the case and said angrily: "It's a bastard! Although Ge Biluo has quite a lot of military achievements, he has never fought against the Tang army, and he has also conquered some other small countries and big food, how can the armies of these states be compared with the Tang army, he is so arrogant and conceited, he will suffer a big loss! ”

Yang Dingguo was so angry that he walked around the hall, eager to run to Ge Biluo and pointed at Ge Biluo's nose and reprimanded, although Ge Biluo's backstage was very hard, but now that the Western Turks were in danger, he really wanted to beat Ge Biluo and tell him what a war was, he was already very irritable when he received the news of Ashina Shabi's defeat, and now Ge Biluo came to block him again, he felt that he was about to go berserk.

Soon, the guards came to report, Ge Biluo sent someone to send a warrant, Yang Dingguo hurriedly asked people to bring the herald in, when he got the warrant to read, he sighed helplessly, I thought Ge Biluo had changed his mind, but I didn't expect it to be like that at all, to put it bluntly, it was Ge Biluo who was afraid of fighting with people and was afraid that he couldn't fight, so he wanted the old man to stand aside and scare people, in case he really couldn't fight, let him step forward and take a hand and beat people together.

For Ge Biluo, Yang Dingguo knows very well, this person is extremely arrogant, of course, this is related to his illustrious background, he was spoiled when he was a child, and when he grew up, under the arrangement of his family's huge forces, he led the troops to fight some small countries, and also fought with the army of the big food country, saved a lot of military merits, and climbed to the current position, but that's it, in Yang Dingguo's view, he is just a general who has just stepped out of the range of straw bales, and his proud character with his eyes above the top is the poison of this war, which will pit the Western Turks.

On the other hand, Fan Lihua, Yang Dingguo can also be regarded as watching Fan Lihua grow up, although Fan Lihua has never fought with the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Dingguo knows that Fan Lihua is a great talent, no matter what the art of war strategy, it feels very easy in her hands, she will be able to teach, and she can draw inferences from one another, Yang Dingguo is Fan Lihua's enlightenment teacher, but Yang Dingguo has to admit that Fan Lihua has long been better than the blue, and even she is not her opponent.

Yang Dingguo held Ge Biluo's warrant and muttered for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "That's it, go back and tell you the general, I will soon order troops and set off." ”
