"Kill!"

Luo Tongru rushed forward with a head down the mountain Menghu, taking the lead, with a fierce momentum, followed by two thousand cavalry, the war horses galloped wildly, and the dust was flying.

The Turkic soldiers in the valley were startled, they never expected that such a secret march would be discovered, and one of the generals rushed up with men to try to block them, while the others fled with food, grass, cattle and sheep.

"Where to run!"

The sound was like thunder, and Luo Tong was united and killed.

The Turkic generals did not contain the lake, desperately beat the horses, the people borrowed the speed of the horses, the strength increased greatly, and the big guns stabbed at Luo Tong.

Luo Tong is a master of marksmanship, the gun in his hand was shocked, and after swinging away the opponent's big gun, he stabbed forward, even with a fight, like a poisonous snake and an electric snake, like a dragon roaring filial piety, fast to the naked eye.

"Poof!"

There was a muffled sound of metal piercing through the flesh, and the head of the spear pierced the opponent's heart.

One shot kill!

Between the lightning and flint, the two horses staggered, Luo Tong didn't look at the Turkic generals who fell off the horse, and continued to rush forward, a spear up and down left and right to assassinate continuously, so fast that only the shadow of the gun could be seen, countless gun shadows gathered together, like a strange flower of death, accompanied by a series of blood arrows soaring, weird, demonic, no one can stop it.

Everywhere the horses passed, there were corpses all over the ground.

The soldiers behind him had long been accustomed to Luo Tong's bravery, but when they saw this scene, they still screamed excitedly, and their morale was greatly boosted, like a terrifying storm rolling forward, drowning and devouring the opponent.

The Turkic war was about to be killed, and the team was not commanded, and the rest of the people saw that Luo Tong was possessed like a god of war, and a big gun was unpredictable, and they couldn't stop it at all, so they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

"Kill—"

Luo Tong rose up to kill, roared and chased up, the war horse under the crotch was psychic, suddenly accelerated, the man and the horse were one, the big gun was sometimes like a poisonous snake catapulting, sometimes like a tiger roaring filial piety, picking off the Turkic soldiers one by one, and killing them.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a cavalry force was killed from the oblique stab, and the leader roared loudly, a suit of chain mail shining in the sun, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Luo Tong stabbed three times in one breath, picked off the three Turkic soldiers around him, quickly turned his head to look, couldn't help but be surprised, and shouted: "Su Dingfang-why are you here?" Stop, don't rob Lao Tzu's work. ”

"Thirty miles away, there are enemy troops coming, kill quickly!" Su Dingfang shouted.

"Enemy troops? Thirty miles? Luo Tong was a little surprised, but the person who came was Su Dingfang, although he didn't understand why he was here, but he would never lie to himself, and he couldn't make any mistakes, so he didn't care about asking more, looked back, and yelled: "Brother, speed up, don't let the Loulan army see the jokes of our Qitun army, kill Lao Tzu-"

"Kill!"

Lin Ping and the others roared loudly and crushed forward, with momentum like a rainbow.

The Turkic army was already killed by Luo Tong, and the appearance of Su Dingfang was even worse, and the morale was completely lost.

Not long after the battle ended, Luo Tong rode his horse to Su Dingfang and asked, "General Su, why are you here?" ”

"It's a long story, Loulan is already short of food, and has been surrounded by Turkic soldiers for more than ten days, and it is even more scarce, no, it was not easy to defeat the Turks, came out to look for grain, and set an eye on this grain transport team, but I didn't expect General Luo to start first, do you see this grain?" Su Dingfang looked at Luo Tong with some embarrassment.

According to the unspoken rules, those who see have a share, they start to take the big head first, and Su Dingfang can only take the small head when he takes the next step.

Luo Tong waved his hand indifferently, and asked at the same time: "You don't need to be polite, let's take it away, Yangguan is occupied by the Turks, and Qitun City is under the enemy's back, I am afraid that I will not be able to mobilize troops to support, can Loulan hold it?" ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, it's a big deal, and the young master can't bear the trust." Su Dingfang said solemnly, suddenly thought of something, his expression tightened, and added: "The Turkic reinforcements will arrive soon, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, in addition, our scouts found that 30,000 Turkic cavalry rushed straight to Loulan City, and they must rush back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Bring the loot and go quickly, I also have to go back, since the Turkic follow-up army has not given up attacking Loulan, and now it has taken Qitun City to block our retreat, it will definitely attack Qitun, this is to encircle and eat all of you and me, what a big appetite." Luo Tong's tiger eyes were sharp, and he was about to leave as soon as he pulled the horse's head.

"General Luo, is there any news from the young master?" Su Dingfang hurriedly shouted.

"I received news yesterday that I have arrived in Zhangye County, Zhangye County heard that it was taken by Tubo, and there are 100,000 soldiers, and it may take some time to break through, General Su, once Loulan can't hold it, you can retreat to Qitun and fight again, and you can't defend it to the death." Luo Tong admonished.

"General Xie Luo, however, if the young master hands over Loulan to his brother, how can he be justified in retreating? Only the dead ear! Su Dingfang solemnly clenched his fists and saluted, and instructed his subordinates to collect the spoils of war.

Not long after, the two armies hurried away, leaving only Turkic corpses all over the ground.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

The war reports of the states on the western front flew like snowflakes, and the civil and military officials in the hall bowed their heads and were silent, a gloomy cloud was miserable, there were many wars in the past two years, Goguryeo, Tubo, and the rebellion in the north, each of which was extremely dangerous, but it has never been so embarrassing as now.

Fang Xuanling glanced at everyone, and saw Li Er's inquiring gaze on the stage, so he hurriedly stepped out and said: "Shengshang, colleagues, Tubo is still on the border, although it captured Jincheng County, it did not attack the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, just a little border trouble, there is no need to mess with yourself." ”

Wei Zheng also came out and shouted: "It's a shame that a border trouble can scare the ministers so nervously." ”

"Lord Wei." An old minister came out and said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wei is exaggerating, we are not nervous, let alone afraid, but the food and grass of the imperial court are not enough to support a large-scale battle. ”

"It's ridiculous!" Wei Zheng stared at each other with a pair of old eyes and said: "In the first battle of Goguryeo, the imperial court did not have to worry about it, and the first battle of Tubo was even more neglectful, both wars were national wars, but now it is just a border war, how much food can be spent?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone's expressions became strange, and they all looked at Li Er.

Li Er's face changed slightly, and he stared at Wei Zheng dissatisfied.

Of course, Wei Zheng knew that it was not the same, that is, he was deliberately making trouble, with Qin Huaidao, the imperial court needed to worry about Tibet? The great talents were just squeezed out, Wei Zheng kept holding his breath in his heart, didn't care about Li Er's gaze, and continued coldly: "According to the old man, the imperial court has lived too comfortably in the past two years, two wars to destroy the country, a huge scale of peaceful chaos, the imperial court has suffered very little losses, but the seizures are huge, and now a little border trouble is like this, why?" ”

"Why?"

Everyone's faces were complicated, and of course they knew why, but no one could say why.

Fang Xuanling also held his breath psychologically, if Qin Huaidao was here, would Tubo dare to send troops? Can his son run to the Western Regions to fight? Pretended not to see Li Er's eyes, lowered his head and said nothing.

The main hall suddenly fell silent, a little more weird.

At this moment, the civil and military officials suddenly missed the days when Qin Huaidao was there.

If Qin Huaidao is still an official in the imperial court, civil officials don't have to worry about food and grass at all, and they don't have to worry about the country being broken, let alone being too busy to be at home in the past two days, they can continue to chant poems and continue to drink and have fun.

It's a pity that there are no ifs!

Li Er saw that his morale was low, and there were even some signs of disgust with the government, he was shocked, if he really resigned and went home to avoid danger, he would become a lonely person, even if a third of the people left, the court would not be able to operate normally, wouldn't this country have to give up?

A competitive spirit surged into his heart, the country can be defeated, why can't Qin Huaidao do what he can? His face was solemn, and he shouted: "Everyone, Aiqing listens to the order, the crown prince Jianguo, the prime minister, Lord Wei and the eldest grandson are auxiliary ministers, and coordinate all ministries to prepare the grain, grass and weapons needed for the 50,000 army to go to the army. ”

As he spoke, he got up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the back of the jade screen.

"This?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other and were confused.

Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Er who was leaving incredulously, his face was complicated, Wei Zheng came up, and said in a low voice: "The saint is physically inconvenient, at this time, when you send a major general to lead the troops, how can you drive the expedition in person?" Xuan Ling, you and I will go together to ask for advice from the Holy Lord. ”

"It's useless, can't you see it? The divine will has been decided. Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.

"But ......" Wei Zheng can of course see it, and he can see through Li Er's refusal to admit defeat and be careful, if his body is fine, Wei Zheng agrees with this approach, with a strong attitude, the emperor is domineering and sweeps away the decline of the court, which can make the world unite as one, but if he is sick, how can he travel long distances and fight in battle?

The more he thought about it, the more worried Wei Zheng became, he looked around carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Can you recommend the king of Jiangxia to lead the troops, it is really not good for Liu Hongji, the prince of Kuiguo, the saint must not drive the expedition in person, otherwise something big will happen." ”

"The king of Jiangxia is a royal family, and his merits are high, if he makes new contributions, how should he be rewarded? It doesn't matter to you and my courtiers, but what does the Holy One say? What's more, King Jiangxia and Qin Huaidao are too close. Fang Xuanling asked rhetorically.

Wei Zheng, who was asking, had a bitter face and was difficult to answer.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Kui Guogong is a suitable candidate, but if the saint wants to revive his prestige, clean up the hearts of the people, and rectify the dynasty, the best way is to drive the expedition in person, and in the future, with the power of victory, he will be invincible." ”

"But what if we lose?" Wei Zheng asked anxiously.

"Defeated?"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly, looked at the people around, and continued in a voice that only Wei Zheng could hear: "The death of the saint for the country is a great righteousness, which can stimulate the power of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Holy ...... Good means! Wei Zheng sighed with emotion, not knowing what to say.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji and the prince laughing and walking out of the hall, a group of people gathered beside him, as if they were discussing something, sighed: "Time, life, everything is like a bubble after all!" ”

Wei Zheng also watched the prince and the others leave, with mixed feelings, and muttered to himself: "How miserable the people of the world are, how much more than this, how ...... so much"
