In the battle of Tianmen Ridge, the Tang army was defeated first and then won, and the Khitan won first and then lost, but the real winner was the Dubo Blackshirt Army who fell from the sky, but it was the sword battalion led by Yue Wuniang, who led the army to block and kill Li Huaixiu. It's just that the latter was impatient to perfunctory An Lushan, so he withdrew early and went back to sit in the town to sow the tooth tent. As for Luo Ying, he did not rashly come forward to compete with An Lushan for war merits, but let the appearance change greatly, Xue Chao, who was alias Zheergen, took more than a dozen people as messengers to contact An Lushan, and he unceremoniously captured many war horses and other booty, and returned to the Khitan tooth tent to join the soldiers and horses behind the palace.

In this way, he has 30,000 soldiers and horses by his side, and he relies on the Dubo tooth tent behind him, as well as the Duji Department, who has quietly returned and has mastered a small part of the military power of the Xi clan, and he is not worried that An Lushan will have any bad thoughts while he is victorious.

And An Lushan can't take care of these mysterious reinforcements that come and go like the wind. The previous experience of narrowly revitalizing himself and his soldiers really made him and his soldiers depressed too much anger, and he indulged his subordinates to kill prisoners and surrender, and swept away the defeated Khitan army that fled on all sides. When he received that Hou Xiyi sent someone to Pegasus to report that the blackshirt army had sent a messenger to meet him, his eyes flashed and he calculated. waited until he asked the person sent by Hou Xiyi, and learned that he didn't know the other party's roots, so he immediately ordered: "Let Hou Xiyi personally bring someone to see me!" ”

This battle made the Tang army physically and mentally exhausted. Hou Xiyi led Xue Chao and his party all the way, only to see countless dead and wounded around, and many soldiers who had survived the catastrophe were paralyzed on the ground tiredly, listless and empty. This is a common phenomenon after defeat, but the problem is that they have not been defeated, and this phenomenon is intriguing. You must know that among the 60,000 soldiers and horses used by An Lushan this time, half of the Han and Tibetan are mixed, and it can be said that they are the elite of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Pinglu towns, but they were almost smashed here, but the Khitan only used less than 30,000 soldiers and horses to create such a dead end.

Thinking of An Lushan's ambition when he proposed the plan to attack and defeat the enemy with one blow, Hou Xiyi couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He didn't know Xue Chao, and in order to prevent others from seeing the flaws, he didn't have any conversations with the other party along the way, until he brought people to An Lushan.

Compared with the wolf bèi when An Lushan fled for his life in the previous chaotic battle, now the marshal of the two towns has obviously retouched his appearance, but he has not had time to change his clothes, at first glance he looks as fat as a leather ball, his clothes are crumpled, and his armor is also messy, and he can't talk about any moderation at all. Xue Chao and An Lushan don't have any grievances, but he knows that An Lushan and Minister Li Linfu are in collusion, and the reason why the Xue family ended up like this is that the Son of Heaven is unkind, and Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui are also the biggest promoters! Therefore, as soon as they met, he just arched his hand arrogantly.

"My family asked me to bring a sentence to An Dashuai, and this victory was given to Dashuai as a meeting gift, but as a price, he asked Dashuai for the Khitan Tooth Tent and Songmo Governor's Mansion as compensation!"

Not to mention that An Lushan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the generals around him who heard the news were also surprised. Those who can be called Qi Jin are undoubtedly the masters of a clan or a group, could it be that this mysterious army of soldiers and horses comes from which tribe of the Xi or Khitan tribes? Wu Chengxuan has been dealing with the Khitans for many years, but when he heard that the people who came were using Chinese with correct words, he asked out loud: "Which one are you talking about?" ”

"My family does not belong to the Khitan, nor does it belong to the Xi clan, but the lord of the capital!"

Dubo is one of the Tiele tribes, over the years gradually spread the name of Mobei, An Lushan is not a stranger, it is said that there are 60,000 households, 40,000 victorious soldiers, the location is just in the Khitan where the Songmo Governor's Mansion and the Xi people are located in the west of the Raole Governor's Mansion. But he never expected that the other party would brazenly send troops to Tianmen Ridge at such a time, relieving himself of a great predicament, but also forcibly seizing a lot of spoils, and when he turned around, he even asked himself for a Khitan tooth tent, and his ambition was obvious. Thinking of this, he didn't directly agree or refuse, but asked, "How many soldiers and horses did your family bring this time?" ”

"Good to teach Marshal An to know that my marshal is here to lead 30,000 troops."

An Lushan himself sent 60,000 troops, claiming to be 150,000, if calculated in this way, the opponent's soldiers and horses should only be more than 10,000. An Lushan had just given birth to a little malice, seeing that the corners of the messenger's mouth showed a bit of mockery, thinking of the invincibility of the black-shirted army when it broke into during the vicious war, and then looking at the generals under his command at this moment, all of them were tired, not to mention the soldiers below, he dispelled this unrealistic idea again. However, he was unwilling to accept the other party's coercion like this, and after a few verbal exchanges back and forth, he found that the other party was actually inaccessible, so he snorted in annoyance.

"How can such a major event be decided lightly in a few words? Do you dare to come to see me in person? ”

"My family said that if the handsome man is interested, he might as well walk a little further ten miles from this Tianmenling and meet at the Khitan tent!"

An Lushan originally thought that the other party was afraid that he would eat black, so he got a lot of benefits and disappeared without a trace, who knew that he would occupy the Khitan tooth tent like this, and even put on a posture of not being afraid of him at all, or the revenge of the Khitan remnants. But when he thought about the fact that the other party was stationed only ten miles away from the Tang Army, he felt as if a thorn was pierced in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it. When the generals around him were waiting, of course he would not let others have the ambition to destroy his prestige, and immediately snorted coldly: "Of course this handsome will go to meet him!" ”

said so, but after An Lushan left Xue Chao and his party, he immediately ordered the rectification of the soldiers and horses. It's okay that this is not rectified, in the evening, when Hou Xiyi and others did their best to gather the soldiers and horses under their command, he was shocked to find that the 60,000 soldiers and horses he brought were only about 30,000 after he was rushing day and night, and was ambushed early in the morning! Of course, this does not mean that after a major battle, the Tang army really killed more than 30,000 people, but that many men and horses fled the battlefield after the collapse before. I don't know if these stragglers who were disrupted by someone later didn't know where they went for a long time.

At this time, the sun had gradually set, and he had been frightened by the head-on attack of the Khitan soldiers and horses, where did An Lushan dare to walk at night to meet the Khitan tent, so he sent the Xue Dynasty to send someone back to report the news on the grounds that it was too late, and he ordered his generals to divide them into two shifts, half of them kept vigil, and half of them camped on the spot to rest. Today's weather is in the middle of summer in the south, but in Liaodong, it is cool after nightfall, especially among them, there are many people injured, moaning in the middle of the night one after another, where how many people sleep well.

Hou Xiyi and Li Mingjun are well-known iron friendships, the two hid in a small tent, talking about letting some of the accompanying people pretend to be routs before, and leave quietly first, even so, more than 20 people were killed in the battle, and hundreds of wounded, Hou Xiyi couldn't help but spit in annoyance. And Li Mingjun thought of his younger brother who was weak but still alive and well, and thought of the Xi people and Khitan who had been messed up in a pot of porridge over the years, and he was very glad that he was lucky, otherwise he would have become a pile of dry bones in this world.

After this night's rest, An Lushan was annoyed to find that the spirit of his soldiers and horses not only failed to recover, but their morale seemed even worse, and they were not elated after winning the battle at all. Even when the generals under his command got up early to come to meet him, there was a deep tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes, and even Shi Siming had dark circles under his eyes. Since everyone set off from Pinglu, he asked everyone to hurry up all the way with the speed of soldiers, and it was even difficult to sleep at night, if he won the battle, it would be fine, but this victory was too weird, who could be in good spirits?

Despite this, An Lushan had to fulfill the previous agreement, and under the guidance of the Xue Dynasty, he traveled ten miles again and came to the former Khitan tooth tent. When he was cold, King Xi's tooth tent and Khitan tooth tent had been to fight, but he didn't find any steps to enter the body, and now he is revisiting, and he is still a winner, he should be triumphant, but what he can see is the banner waving, the elite soldiers are like clouds, as if the main force of the Khitan has not left at all, but is here, how can there be a little bit of joy? Compared with the fatigue of his own soldiers and horses, he could obviously see the calmness of the other party, so his mentality changed subtly again.

The Khitan tent had been occupied by the other party, and the Tang army temporarily stopped a thousand steps away. As Xue Chao rushed back, An Lushan pointed to the orderly and brightly colored soldiers and horses in the Khitan tent, and asked left and right: "What do you think, how many soldiers and horses are here?" ”

"The Khitans probably left in a hurry, leaving too many tents, and I don't know if there are still people in the tents. But judging from the soldiers and horses outside, I am afraid of ...... No less than twenty thousand. ”

Shi Siming thought about it carefully and came up with the most conservative figure. But Xue Song shook his head and said: "There will definitely be no one in those tents, if I am not mistaken, these soldiers and horses are at least the same as what the Xue Dynasty said, there are 30,000 people." ”

An Lushan himself has already made a calculation, asking left and right is just to find an excuse, not to provoke a senseless battle, after seeing Shi Siming and Xue Song, all the generals cautiously said that the other party's strong soldiers and horses should not be underestimated, he said from the good flow, if there is nothing excessive except for occupying the Khitan tooth tent, then simply agreed to the other party.

Anyway, the Songmo Governor's Mansion is only a nominal territory of the Tang Dynasty, and if you are generous to others, what is there to fight for?

Hou Xiyi put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and saw that there was a small commotion on the side of the tooth tent, and soldiers and horses kept coming out of the camp tents everywhere.

Thinking that Luo Yingyue Wuniang and others went to the Turkic tent and took advantage of the serious illness of Viga Khan to make that big deal, he didn't think about following to create a career together. But after all, he is different from the couple whose parents died, he still has many family members in Pinglu, and it is impossible to leave a Qiē to go to Mobei to work hard. It's just that now that he finds that the former robe Ze is a hero, he is still very envious!

Manly man, so it is!
