Chapter 107: Crisis

Li Ji sat in the tent and sighed silently, no one knew the worry in his heart at this time, he never thought that this year's snow would come so early, and the heavy snow made the whole situation more unknown. Su Dingfang has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he has nothing to worry about, what he is worried about is Fang Yiai, this young man can be said to carry the hopes of too many people, if something happens to him, Li Ji really doesn't know how to explain to Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong, and he knows that His Majesty has always been paying attention to Fang Yiai. Originally, Li Ji wanted Fang Yiai to earn some military merits with Su Dingfang, and by the way, he also felt the real war, but who knew that it would snow so much?

"Report to the marshal, Qin Hu, the captain of the guard under the bereaved tent of Zuo Wuweifang, has something important to ask to see!" A Don soldier walked into the tent and said.

"Qin Hu? Why is he back now, is something wrong? Li Ji felt that something was wrong, and with a wave of his right hand, he said urgently, "Let him in!" ”

"Qin Hu, is there something wrong?" As soon as Qin Hu came in, Li Ji stood up and asked anxiously.

"I don't know the specific reason, but my young general's handwritten letter is here, and the marshal will know it after reading it!" Qin Hu said and hurriedly took out the letter from his arms.

Li Ji opened the letter and looked at it quickly, slowly Li Ji frowned, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, after reading it, Li Ji looked up with a sigh of relief and asked, "Qin Hu, how was the situation when you came?" ”

"Marshal, when I came, General Su and Major General were ready to start a decisive battle with Zhuola's army!" Qin Hu clenched his fists fiercely as he spoke, although he didn't know why Fang Yiai wanted to fight Zhuo La at this time, but he knew how dangerous this battle would be, without cavalry cover, and lacking the baggage of the Tang Army, it was simply gambling. If there was a choice, Qin Hu would rather die than leave Fang Yuai's love now.

"Ready to fight?" Li Ji's heart was beating very hard, it was a kind of fear of the unknown, and Fang Yi's love letter said that the Tubo people would bypass Baiyucheng through a special way and cut off the back road of the Tang army. If it is really as Fang Yiai said, then Zhuo La must be disabled, but in the letter, Fang Yiai did not mention more credible clues at all, which made Li Ji unable to make up his mind for a while, it must be too big, this is related to the life and death of the 100,000 army. If the guess of the widow is wrong, wouldn't it delay the fighter?

"Big marshal, it's no good, General Liu Huai'an's deputy general Ma Fengshan is back!" A voice completely disrupted Li Ji's thoughts, and Li Ji yelled differently, "What's the matter, where is the person, don't let him in quickly." ”

"This little one, let's go and invite General Ma in!" This Tang soldier had never seen Li Ji so angry, and he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly left the big tent, but Qin Hu saw something from the soldier's eyes, I am afraid that Liu Huai'an is more than lucky.

Ma Fengshan was carried in by four people with a wooden plank, and after the big tent today, Li Ji knew why the soldier was so embarrassed, Ma Fengshan could be said at this time, except for one breath, the whole person was already like a half-dead person, with knife wounds and coagulated blood marks everywhere, but I can think how much he endured to fight before returning here.

"Fengshan, tell me, what's going on?" The panic in Li Ji's heart at this moment can be imagined, he squatted in front of Ma Fengshan and motioned for him to tell what happened.

Ma Fengshan opened his dry mouth and cried in a hoarse voice, "Dashuai, we have been tricked, the army was ambushed by the Tubo people as soon as they walked to the bluestone canyon, and everyone never thought that the Tubo people would appear there, so they were directly beaten by the Tubo people." Later, General Liu wanted to retreat, but the Tubo people didn't know where to kill them, and blocked the entrance to the bluestone canyon, and we couldn't run. Marshal, you have to find a way to save General Liu and his brothers, I'm afraid it will be too late! ”

After listening to Ma Fengshan's narration, the little luck in Li Ji's heart was completely gone, he suddenly felt dizzy and shaking, if it wasn't for Qin Huyan's quick hand to support him, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

"Marshal, please make plans early, I'm afraid General Liu's army can't be saved!" Qin Hu's words directly stabbed Li Ji's sore spot, this is an army of 30,000, and 30,000 Tang men were buried in his hands like this.

Li Ji made a gesture weakly, and the four soldiers carried Ma Fengshan to the outside of the tent, and when he left, Ma Fengshan was still crying in a hoarse voice, "Dashuai, you have to avenge your brothers, they died too miserably, and they are too unjust, we have internal annihilation, there must be internal annihilation, Dashuai, you have to kill these brutes, woo woo"

Ma Fengshan cried so much, like a child, a man who was once iron-clad actually cried like this, but I can imagine how painful he will be in his heart.

"Drumming Gathering!" Li Ji pushed away Qin Hu's support and shouted loudly outside the tent.

Soon all the generals came to the big tent, and no one knew why the drum sounded at this time, but when Li Ji told Liu Huai'an about it, everyone was a little shocked. Liu Huai'an's army is gone, what does that mean, it means that the Tubo people can directly face the front line of Songzhou and Minzhou, if the Tubo people really do this, then the most dangerous is Su Dingfang's forward army.

"Great Marshal, the top priority at present is to find a way to block the eastward advance of the Tubo people, and immediately notify General Su and let them abandon Shiqu City!" Niu Jinda was the first to stand up, he was more anxious than anyone else at the moment, because as General Zuo Wuwei, he knew very well the important surname of Fang Yiai.

Li Ji nodded, he could understand Niu Jinda's mood, Zuo Wuwei must have been silent for too long, Niu Jinda definitely didn't want Zuo Wuwei's young general to die in Shiqu City, that kind of death was meaningless at all.

"General Niu, maybe you don't know that at this time, Su Dingfang's army has already started a decisive battle with Zhuola!"

Li Ji's words were like a fuse, which immediately filled the entire big tent with a strange atmosphere, Niu Jinda frowned, it seems that Su Dingfang and Fang Yiai seem to have guessed the movements of the Tubo people a long time ago, but with Su Dingfang's military horses and four thousand Zuo Wuwei soldiers, can they beat Zhuola? Niu Jinda is very afraid, he is not afraid of failure, he is afraid that Fang Jinda's blood will surge, and he will die directly in Shiqu City, in that case, he Niu Jinda will be Zuo Wuwei's sinner.

"Niu Jinda, listen to orders!"

"The last general!"

"This commander divides your 10,000 soldiers and horses, you must rush to Ganzi as quickly as possible, if Su Dingfang has already entered Ganzi City, you will assist General Su to defend Ganzi City. If Ganzi City has been occupied by the Tibetans, then you only need to hold the main road east of Ganzi City, and don't attack Ganzi City without authorization! ”

Niu Jinda ordered the arrow, and arched his hand, "Don't worry, the commander will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Li Ji glanced at Niu Jinda with satisfaction, and he really deserved to be a rare general, and he was really calm when he encountered trouble. "Hold on to your thoughts, listen to orders!"

A short-bearded middle-aged general came out of the ranks, this person was the former ** chieftain who lost his thinking power, and later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became the captain of the Tang Dynasty.

"The last general!"

"Stubbornly losing his mental strength, this commander ordered you to immediately lead the people of the headquarters to return to Songzhou, and named you the temporary marching chief of Bailandao, commanding all military and political affairs in Songzhou, Minzhou, and Nuozhou, and leading people to return to Chang'an for help, be sure to hold the first line of Songzhou and Minzhou, if you lose, this commander will cut off your head first even if he dies!"

"Don't worry, Si Li will desperately defend the first line of Songzhou and Minzhou, as long as I am alive, the Tubo people will not want to break through my Songzhou City!" Stubbornly lost his strength and took the arrow, and said very heroically.

Just when he was stubborn and wanted to retreat, Li Jiyou whispered in his ear, "Restrain the party members in the Songzhou camp, and if there is any change, you will be killed!" ”

"Don't worry, the last general will know!" Stubbornly understood what Li Ji meant, Liu Huai'an's matter, if it wasn't for someone to report the news, how could it be so coincidental, the Tubo people can't always wait there, and the Tubo people are not gods, how can they know that Li Ji will send people to Baiyu City. Therefore, there must be internal annihilation on the Tang army's side, and the one who is most likely to help the Tubo people is the party item, and when Li Ji issued the military order, the party item was also present.

Li Ji was busy, but the bluestone canyon east of Baiyucheng had already been stained red with blood, and the long and narrow valley was full of corpses of the Tang army, some of them were stoned to death, some were killed by arrows, and many people died with their eyes open, because they were unwilling to die, and they couldn't fight the enemy face to face from beginning to end, so they died in the mountain road in a daze.

"Listen to the Han people in the valley, we, Lord Wei Ruozan, have said, as long as you lay down your arms, we will guarantee that you will live," shouted a Tibetan man in half-baked Chinese.

"General, what do we do now?" The soldiers were all looking at Liu Huai'an, hoping that Liu Huai'an could get an idea for them.

"Brothers, are you afraid of death?" Liu Huaian wiped the blood from his face and suddenly laughed.

"General, the brothers have died so many times, how many of us are missing?" A soldier also laughed, maybe they were numb to death, indeed, too many people had died in this bluestone canyon, and the army of 30,000 tigers and wolves had fallen down in two hours, and the entire bluestone canyon was about to become a river of blood. Some people committed suicide, some went crazy, and there were wails everywhere, and Bluestone Canyon was like a human purgatory, full of terror and death.

"Hehe, so the brothers have seen it like me, in this case, why should we surrender, I only have generals who died in battle, and there are no cowards who kneel to survive, so I want to fight, even if I die, I have to face the east!"

Liu Huai'an raised his big knife and pointed straight at the sky, he knew that he was going to die, but he had to die like a man, be born as a general, and return it as a horse leather shroud!

In the end, Liu Huai'an still died, but when he was dying, he had a happy smile, he knelt on the ground, the knife was inserted into the ground to support his body, facing the east, until he died, and did not fall.

Dead but still not falling, Liu Huai'an smashed like a boulder on the hearts of the Tubo people, Wei Ruozan looked at Liu Huai'an's corpse and sighed with admiration, "This person is a hero in the world, put it in a coffin and bury it!" ”

"Yes!"

No one will know why Liu Huai'an laughs, maybe only he understands, he wants to tell his father that he, Liu Huai'an, was a qualified general until he died, and he did not disgrace his old man.

The bluestone canyon was silent, and the smell of blood wafted away, far, far away. Liu Hongji, who was far away in Chang'an, was inexplicably distressed, and the teacup in his hand also fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
