"General Su, why don't you kill those rebels together today? Even if you can't kill them, you can still defeat them. Keeping these guys under Wuwei City will threaten Wuwei City sooner or later. Ashina Ni returned to the big tent and couldn't help but ask.

"We don't have enough soldiers and horses now, even if we defeat all these people, we can't stop these people, and we will even force these rebels to fight a decisive battle with us, and our losses will be huge, so we have to wait for General Li Xuanba to come." Su Dingfang took off the armor on his body and said.

In fact, in addition to this news, more importantly, the Turkic soldiers he commands today, although brave, are not as obedient as the Tang soldiers, commanding the Tang army, as if commanding his own arm, but commanding the Turkic army, it is much worse, especially today, if those rebels are more bold and fight back, I really don't know who wins and who loses. Let Li Xuanba come, Su Dingfang's grasp has improved a lot.

"I see, it's a pity today." Ashina nodded after hearing this, and said with a slight regret.

"Don't worry, then Yan Fei must know that I have arrived, and the Datang army will definitely kill, he is now panicked in his heart, he must have no intention of resisting, and it is very likely that he will leave Wuwei and go to the hinterland of the rebels." Su Dingfang said with a smile: "He also thought that we would first deal with the Tubo people, and then come to deal with him, what a joke, the person who dared to split the Tang Dynasty, how could the imperial court let him live too long?" ”

Ashina said with a smile: "If he escapes, it will be the best, and it will be much easier for us to fight, where is it like now, we can only hide in the shadows, General Su, you have a good reputation in the court, and your prestige in the army is very high, Yan Fei will be pale with fright when he sees you, and he will not dare to resist him." ”

"That's Your Majesty's prestige, but I can't, if the general comes, Yan Fei doesn't even have the heart to resist, and immediately opens the city gate and surrenders, but unfortunately, the general's body is not good, I don't know how long it can be supported, it's a pity." Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Let's fight slowly here, just to drag these guys, Xu Yi's army has already entered the hinterland of the party at this time, those old and weak are definitely not the opponents of Xu Yi, the evil wolf, and I don't know how many people will die in the hands of Xu Yi." ”

"If these rebels knew that their lair had been exterminated by General Xu Yi, I am afraid they would have no heart to resist our army." Ashina couldn't help but say.

"It is precisely this reason, the longer we support here, the easier it will be for Xu Yi's side." Su Dingfang said: "The power of the rebels is very strong, but our brothers are not weak, we can't forcibly capture Wuwei, but it's still okay to drag these people, now I'm worried about the situation on the side of the serious general, 100,000 troops go deep into the hinterland of Tibet, even if it will be victorious, but it will be countless casualties." Originally, this time the serious general was at least a national prince, but this time, I am afraid I don't know if he can save his life. ”

"Your Majesty's side? It should be very benevolent. Ashina couldn't help but whisper. He didn't dare to comment on seriousness, and until now, no one knows if seriousness has really betrayed the Son of Heaven.

"The Son of Heaven has killed more than 10,000 rebels." Su Dingfang said very calmly. Ashina was silent after hearing this, but he was shocked in his heart, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was really not a benevolent person, especially in the face of rebellion.

Early the next morning, Su Dingfang and Ashina Ni led their own soldiers and horses to wreak havoc under Wuwei City, these Turks rode high-headed horses, and kept attacking the rebels' camps, but Tuoba Kui had no way, which was also strange about Qinling, when he first came, he said that he was okay, everyone was just acting in a play, and the big camp was very sparse, and there were many flaws, where did I think that there would be such a situation now, and the enemy actually launched an attack under his nose.

On Qinling saw a little bit of something bad from it, and he said to Yan Fei: "Su Dingfang is a generation of famous generals, and it will not be so simple to do things, sometimes, he obviously has the opportunity to attack the camp, but he doesn't, which explains the problem." ”

"What's the problem?" Yan Fei asked nervously.

"He's waiting for reinforcements right now. The reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty are coming, think about it carefully, in this northwest place, in addition to the Shura army and Ashina Ni, are there other soldiers and horses? On Qinling asked a little nervously. If reinforcements really come, he may only lead those rebels to forcibly break through, even if he can't capture Wuwei, he will use these rebels to completely make the northwest frontier of the Tang Dynasty full of loopholes.

"There shouldn't be, there are only 100,000 troops of my father in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and the 30,000 troops stationed in Wuwei are all considered local troops, and it is okay to defend the city, but it is not possible to attack." Yan Fei has been very decadent in the past few days, and the appearance of Su Dingfang made his dream of being a prince shattered all of a sudden, and only then did he know that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty was inviolable.

"It's strange that the Shura Army you mentioned didn't actually appear?" On Qinling frowned and said, "The Shura Army is a powerful fist, it should appear on the battlefield at this time, but where has it gone now?" Ah! It's not good, I'm afraid we were fooled, the Shura army was not hidden under Wuwei City at all, he went to the nest of the Dangxiang clan. Damn it. This is the bottom of the kettle! ”

On Qinling suddenly thought of a possibility, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, we can only forcibly break through Su Dingfang's defense and attack, and return to the Dangxiang clan immediately, otherwise the Dangxiang clan will definitely be destroyed by Xu Yi." "This time the Dangxiang clan rebelled, almost all the young and strong of the entire clan were dispatched, and the people left behind at home were just a group of old and weak, in front of Xu Yi, the tiger and wolf division, where was there a chance to resist. Once it is destroyed, the Dangxiang clan will become a rootless duckweed, where can it last for a long time.

"Then, what about Wu Wei?" After Yan Fei heard this, his face was stunned, and he immediately asked nervously.

"Wu Wei, I'm afraid I can only give up." On Qinling said with a little embarrassment, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Yan Fei, and a trace of guilt appeared in his heart, he also bewitched Yan Fei at the beginning, but now he wants to give up Wuwei.

"No, no, I will never give up Wuwei." Yan Fei's eyes were stunned, but his mouth was saying. He is the son of the Duke of Wuwei County, what a beautiful scenery, but now he wants to give up Wuwei, follow those rebellious people to the Dangxiang clan, go to Tibet, and go into exile, how can he bear such a difference.

"If not, how is it good?" On Qinling persuasion: "You Han people have a saying, it is called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as we have soldiers and horses in hand, are we afraid that there will be no territory?" On Qinling's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, if he wasn't still in Wuwei City, he would have killed this guy a long time ago, let Tuoba Kui and others attack Wuwei, wreak havoc, and immediately escape into the desert, where would he persuade him here. This guy has no ambitions, but in reality, he's just a fool.

"But?" Yan Fei still thought about refusing this matter.

"Right now, you have no choice but to follow us, Su Dingfang didn't contact you when he came, which means that he already knows your plans, if you don't go with us, how will this person spare you?" On Qinling persuaded bitterly.

Yan Fei's face changed, he also thought of this problem, although he had not rebelled, but in fact he could not find out, at least Su Dingfang already knew that even if he stayed here, he would probably be killed by Yan Fei, just let himself leave here, I am afraid that he is still a little unwilling.

"General, the villain will wait in the camp at the city gate tonight, waiting for the arrival of the general, think about this period of time, the 30,000 soldiers in the city, you can at least accept more than 10,000 people, these people are your subordinates, we are now divided into pieces, and continue to sweep and harass the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, I believe we will drag it out longer, Li Xin has a lot of soldiers and horses, but in the vast place of the northwest, it will not play any role at all." On Qinling's persuasion: "We still have a chance. ”

Yan Fei nodded, but he was even more confused in his heart, he was the son of the county prince, he had been living abroad since he was a child, once upon a time, he actually had to live outside, he definitely didn't expect it.

On Qinling said again: "Although we are losing the wind at the moment, but the general should not forget, General Yan has led the army into the hinterland of my Tubo, there is a lack of food and grass, he can still expect the Tang Dynasty to forgive him before, but as long as the general leaves Wuwei, there is only one way in front of General Yan, that is, to submit to my Tubo, in this way, the Yan family has more than 100,000 troops, with more than 100,000 troops, are you afraid that the northwest will not be in your hands?" ”

"I know what Mr. said, and when I think about it clearly, I will naturally go to meet with Mr." Yan Fei nodded, with a slight glimmer of hope in his heart, if it was really like what Qinling said, he would really have a glimmer of life if he couldn't get it right.

On Qinling left Wuwei City, Yan Fei didn't keep him, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now, after ordering someone to close the city gate, he returned to the Wuwei County Mansion, but saw that the huge Wuwei County Mansion no longer had the laughter and laughter of the past, although some subordinates served on the side, but their faces were worried and afraid.

"Where's the old lady?" Yan Fei glanced around and couldn't help but ask. This old lady refers to a serious wife, Yan Fei's mother Zhao, who is a serious married couple, and in the entire Yan family, although serious is ranked as a county prince, she does not take a concubine.

"The old lady is in the ancestral hall." The little maid beside her glanced at Yan Fei fearfully and said softly.

"Ancestral Hall?" Yan Fei felt bitter in his heart, he didn't know if there would be a chance to come to the Yan family ancestral hall after leaving today, he thought about it, and let the maids around him retreat, but he came to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Yan family is very simple, it is only a serious ancestor enshrined, the ancestral hall is not big, Yan Fei entered it, there was a smell of sandalwood in his nose, and he saw a lady kneeling in front of many tablets, wearing just an extremely ordinary green clothes, which did not look like a county duchess at all, but an ordinary woman in the countryside.

"Mother." Yan Fei felt bitter in his heart, and stepped forward to help his mother up, but was broken free by Zhao, and Zhao found a chair and sat down.

"Coming back? Have a seat! Zhao pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Since your father went on the expedition, you haven't come to see me again, what's the matter, but the imperial court has sent an army?" ”

"It was General Su Dingfang who personally led the army to come, and General Xu Yi is afraid that he has gone to attack the rebels' lair, and there is still a Turkic army outside the city. On Qinling prepared to let the child leave Wuwei. Yan Fei faced his mother, didn't dare to deceive her, and hurriedly said.

"Are you going to take me out of Wuwei?" Zhao said lightly: "I'm so old, I've never left Datang!" I didn't expect that when I was about to die, I was going to leave Datang. ”

"Mother, it's just a temporary departure from here, let's go find our father, we will return to Wuwei sooner or later." Yan Fei hurriedly said.

"No need, I won't go to Tibet, I'm a person from the Tang Dynasty, and death is also a ghost of the Tang Dynasty." Zhao stood up, came to the tablet, and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, our Yan family would probably have died a long time ago, and your father would not be a county prince, let alone you." Son! Loyalty may not be anything to you, but for me and your father, it is impossible to change, even if it is death, I would rather die at the hands of His Majesty, you have to leave, drink this bowl of wine, you can go, go to your Tibet, and when your father comes back, I will tell him that his eldest son has died, he has died of a violent illness, as for the emperor, you don't need to take the blame, I and your father can be, think about it, you didn't raise the anti-flag, plus your father's credit, it is still okay to be an ordinary person. ”

"Mother." Yan Fei knelt on the ground violently after hearing this.

"Drink him, just leave Wuwei! Since then, my Yan family has no descendants like you. Zhao put the white porcelain bowl in his hand in Yan Fei's hand, but he turned around and said lightly: "That's fine, my Yan family's reputation can't be ruined by you." If the emperor really wants the life of my Yan family, you can still leave a bloodline for my Yan family outside. Drink it and you're good to go! ”

"Mother." After Yan Fei heard this, he cried out loud, drank the wine from the white porcelain bowl violently, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard a cry from behind.

"Mother." Yan Fei fell to the ground again and said, "Please take care of your mother." The child is going. ”

"Go ahead! Although you cannot enter my Yan's ancestral grave, I will find a cemetery for you on the hill opposite my tomb. Zhao's voice came from behind him.

Yan Fei's face was stunned, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but turn around and look at his mother, his eyes were full of horror. said: "Mother, you? ”

"My Yan family is loyal to Your Majesty, how can there be a son like you, we are the whole family, and we will only die at the hands of Your Majesty, and we will never be infamous for betrayal, and you are the same for the descendants of the Yan family." Zhao said calmly: "You can go with confidence!" Maybe it won't be long before our family will be reunited under the Nine Springs. ”

After Yan Fei listened, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in the end, as if he had figured out something, there was a hint of relaxation in his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
