Chapter 998

"General, tomorrow, let the last general lead the army to lure the enemy, the last general can lure the enemy under your banner......" General Li Zhonglang couldn't help but put forward this suggestion again at this time.

Li Youwen glanced at General Li Zhonglang, smiled and shook her head in refusal. "Okay, you don't have to say more, Ben Shuai will be fine, don't worry."

"Okay, by the way, Duan Changshi specially explained, if you want to brave the arrows and stones to go into battle, remember to bring those two hundred monks and his senior brother......" Hu Da next to him touched the fur and beard on his face, and suddenly remembered Duan Shaojun's previous explanation to himself.

Hearing Hu Da mention Duan Shaojun, thinking that even if that guy was not by his side, he still didn't forget his own safety, he couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, and secretly smiled a little shyly, and after taking a deep breath, his expression returned to normal. "Ben Shuai will bring them, and Huda, you really don't want to act with the army?"

"The last general has always been the forward general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, and in this big battle, it is not as pleasant to go anywhere as to follow the general and kill the enemy by your side." Hu Da's head shook quickly, and he said so in his mouth, but in fact, he was worried about Li Youwen's safety.

Li Youwen saw that Hu Da was so resolute, so she didn't bother to debunk it. "In that case, it's up to you...... Li Xiu, what's wrong with you? Why do you still look worried? ”

General Li Zhonglang stood up, and after saluting Li Youwen, the expression on his face was still not much better. "General, what we brought this time is 20,000 soldiers and horses, 1,000 with General Shi Lao are ambushed outside the mouth of the upper valley of the Yunshui River, and the other 10,000 are following you. The rest of the soldiers and horses are all reinforcements, although when you are under your nose, the general, everyone will definitely order and prohibit it......"

"But the last general is really a little worried, in case they ......"

"I know what you're worried about." Li Youwen thought about it and nodded. "Don't worry, although they may have their own thoughts, they are all soldiers of my Datang after all, and their spearhead will only be pointed at those Qihu people...... Not to mention that you are still in charge of the rear army, but you must remember that unless the commander puts up the signal to attack, the rear army must not make any action until then, do you understand? ”

General Li Zhonglang opened his mouth to defend something, but after seeing Li Youwen's determined expression and gaze, he could only nod helplessly. "Well, the last general will obey."

"Your Highness, the vanguard of our army has arrived at the mouth of the Yunshui River Valley." A horse galloped and galloped to the Chehu prince Hassan, who was riding his horse with the Chinese army, and reported loudly.

"How? Has there ever been a trace of the Tang Army at the mouth of the Yunshui River Valley? Hassan asked as he reined in his mount and gently patted his horse's back.

"Your Royal Highness, inside and outside the mouth of the Yunshui River Valley, no trace of the Tang Army has been found. Now, General Chigu has ordered the front army to stop outside the valley mouth, and has sent a large number of scouts and cavalry to the surrounding and inner valley......"

"Well, okay, let Chigu wait for the king to arrive, see the situation and then enter the river valley, if there is anything abnormal, you must report to the king in time, understand?" Hassan gave a command to the cavalryman who had come to pay the news, and then continued on his horse.

Here, it is less than ten miles away from the Yunshui River Valley, and the burning Qianxian County has been left far behind, and the thought of the Qianxian County he took is actually an empty city, Hassan is depressed, not to mention killing, not even a dog, and almost everything that can be taken away in the entire town has been moved away, so that the Qihu army after taking Qianxian County is empty-handed.

And yesterday's march, I saw some lost furniture on the road, presumably dropped by those Han people in the county seat of Qianxian County when they moved, but this way came quickly, except for some scattered clothes, sundries, and some rice grain, but there was no one to see, which made Hassan very helpless.

At the same time, I was also very dissatisfied with my father Khan's delay in sending troops in order to wait for the punishment of his second brother Tukun, but these dissatisfactions could only be held in my heart. After all, Father Khan's temper is not very good, and he can get the command of a large army, which is already very good.

Presumably, those Han people have also received the news that the Qihu army is about to attack the Tang Dynasty, so they will flee south in a panic, but this time, his father Khan has mobilized 170,000 elites to go south, and the strength alone is more than four times that of the Yunzhou defenders, not to mention, now the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty is a group of dragons without a leader, and Cao Hu'er is making trouble within the Tang Dynasty.

The princess of Zhaoyang wanted to ask for help, but she could only ask for help from the surrounding states and counties, but even if the surrounding states and counties were willing to help, they didn't dare to come up with too many people, because they were also afraid that their territory would be attacked by the Qihu army.

In less than half an hour, the Chinese army under the command of Hassan also rushed to the entrance of the Yunshui River Valley, and General Chigu, who commanded the cavalry of the 10,000 former army here, had already met him and reported to Hassan the information obtained from the reconnaissance.

"There is no trace of the Tang army within thirty miles outside the Yunshui River Valley, and the scouts sent by the last general to explore the Yunshui River Valley have also come to report, and no trace of the enemy has been found on both sides of the valley, it seems that the Tang Army did not expect that we would attack from here."

Hassan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Qigu's report, and said with a hint of triumph: "That's natural, my Qihu went south this time, sending nearly 200,000 troops, and my father Khan coerced Yunzhou City with a dignified and upright army. ”

Thinking that in the past, he let that woman be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and now, under the pressure of the heavy army, he must have to retreat to the fortified city of Yunzhou, Hassan felt extremely happy in his heart. "Okay, after the rear army arrives, the rear army will escort the formation, and after our army arrives at the other exit of the Yunshui River, the rear army will withdraw from the valley mouth and move forward, no matter what, we have to prevent the Tang army from copying our back road."

"Your Highness is wise, but the last general thinks that with the strength of the Tang Army in Yunzhou, if you want to copy our back road...... It's really difficult. Chigu laughed, first patted Hassan's ass, and then said disapprerovingly.

Hassan nodded approvingly. "Qigu, you're right, let's do it, half an hour after my army enters the valley, the rear army will begin to enter the valley and move south, and when our western army enters the Yunshui River Valley, the entire Yunzhong Prefecture, then we can go wherever we want."

"In that case, please rest for a while, and then continue to move forward after the rear army arrives, and the last general will lead the front army to open the way for you......"

"No, you can march with the king's army in a while. Let the warriors have a good rest and rest, and when they get out of the Yunshui River Valley, they will be able to exert themselves. Hassan waved his hand, beckoned his soldiers to set up a pergola, brought food and wine, and began to feast.

Qigu nodded, and also ordered, and soon, outside the Yunshui River Valley, there was a burst of cooking smoke, and the Qihu riders got off their horses one after another, and began to take out the jerky in the backpack, and threw it into the pot to cook, and some simply picked up the scimitar and directly chopped the jerky into their mouths and chewed and swallowed, and then closed their eyes and rested.

The Khihu people were preparing lunch while waiting for the arrival of the rear army. At the top of the slope of the valley mouth on the left, somewhere covered by dwarf branches and shrubs, a man dressed in yellow homespun cloth, and even deliberately tied yellow weeds on his body as a disguise, carefully buried his head lower, smelled the fragrance of gravy wafting over, secretly scolded his mother in his heart, while munching on dry food depressedly, he continued to guard a small tree next to him that was about a meter higher than other branches, particularly straight.

Not far below the slope, there was another small tree that had been knocked down, which was a signal to people farther away, indicating that the army of the Khihu people had arrived in the Yunshui River Valley, and as for the upright tree next to it, it would be used to indicate that the Khihu people had begun to enter the valley.

After the first signal tree fell, the signal tree on the other hill also fell, and the other mountain also fell down, but the Zhuxiang effort, the news that the Qihu people had arrived at the mouth of the Yunshui River Valley had been transmitted to the ears of General Shi.

"Well, the old man knows, come here, bring the map." General Shi, who had been leaning against a big tree and sitting on the Mazha with his eyes closed, stood up and nodded.
