Chapter 72 Assault on Poyang Valley

Under the lilac tree next to the side door of the west crossing courtyard, Mulanqing was whispering to a teenage girl. The girl was wearing a pink silk skirt that was half new and not old, with a black and thin face and a wicker basket on her arms. The basket was covered with a piece of linen cloth, and I don’t know what was placed. ★W√w    W.

81zW.

CoM Yang Hao felt that this girl looked very familiar and seemed to have seen her somewhere, so he took a few more glances without realizing it, but he accidentally hit the pillar.

Mulanqing hurried over, Yang Hao rubbed his forehead and asked him, "Who is she?" Mulanqing said, "He is Miss Yingying, the daughter of the late Mr. Zhang."

Yang Hao knocked on his head hard. Zhang Huchen's daughter Zhang Yingying, how could he forget? Zhang Huchen and his wife died in a mutiny last New Year's Eve. The ten-year-old daughter Yingying has been living in the Defense Envoy Department and is raised by Mr. Guan. Seeing her mother's tragic death with her own eyes, Yingying's young heart was greatly stimulated. These days she has been hiding and unwilling to see people. She usually never goes out except to go to the backyard with Mr. Guan to serve flowers and plants. No wonder she looks strange.

"Yingying meets with sir." Zhang Yingying lowered her head and saluted Yang Hao. Yang Hao hurriedly helped her up, looked at Zhang Yingying's black and thin face and yellow head, feeling quite uncomfortable, and was ashamed and blamed herself for not taking good care of her colleague's orphans.

"What are you put in your basket?" Yang Hao lifted the linen cloth covered the basket. The linen cloth was wet, and under the linen was a basket of yellow autumn pears. He knew that he liked to eat pears, and he also knew to use a wet cloth on the basket to keep the pears fresh. Yang Hao had a hint of affection for this black and thin girl.

"I saw someone selling autumn pears on the street, and I remember Sister Xiaoyu said that Dashuai liked to eat pears, so I bought some for Dashuai to taste." Zhang Yingying lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Don't call me Dashen, call me Dashen. From now on, you can call me Dashen."

Zhang Yingying called Yang Hao a "master" and said, feeling very awkward.

"Father and you are brothers, how dare I call you elder brother?" Speaking of this, Zhang Yingying rolled her eyes and glanced at Yang Hao, lowered her head and whispered, "Why do I call you Uncle Yang."

Yang Hao looked at Mu Lanqing helplessly and wanted to ask him if I am really that old?

"You can call it whatever you like, but you don't call it Dashen anymore." Yang Hao said deliberately with a treacherous look, and then he took out the style of an elder to teach his little niece a lesson: "You have to eat more when you go back. The little girl is too thin and not good-looking." Yang Hao pinched her little face, touched her head, and walked into the study.

"Master," Mu Lanqing followed behind her and called softly, then frowned and pointed at the small corner door on the right side of the study. Only then did Yang Hao remember that he had come out to use the toilet.

...

Geniu Special Qin is the youngest brother of Uighur Yuman tribe Khan, Ujie Special Qin is the younger brother of the late Kosa Khan Geza Special Qin and the uncle of Zhangxin Khan. The Khan directly under the Heavenly Wolf Army include the Dragon, Tiger, Wolf, and Eagle Guards. Most of the commanders of the Dragon Guards are the princes as usual, and most of the commanders of the other three guards are also the most trusted nobles of Zhangxin Khan. Geniu took over the position of most of the commanders of the Tiger Guards from his brother Wujie.

The great Uighur Khanate has passed his glorious prime and is entering his tragic old age. This is an indisputable fact, but few people in the country are willing to face up to this reality. During his time as the commander of the Huwei Guard, his brother Wujie used cruel means to deal with the Xiagas people on the northwest border, and finally led to the riots of the Xiagas people. In order to quell the rebellion of the Xiagas people, the Uighur Khanate had to consume one-third of the total tax every year, which undoubtedly made the most of the crisis Khanate.

However, while the cruel war dragged down the Khanate, it also forced the Khanate into a desperate situation. Their pastures were burned, cattle and sheep were plundered, and the people were scattered. The facts were there, as long as the Khanate was more patient, the Khanate could only surrender.

But at this critical moment, the down-and-out and treacherous little Qijin came to disrupt the situation. His sweet words convinced the Khan to agree to sit down and negotiate with the Khas so that he could free up his hands to help him regain his lost territory. The Khas who were in desperate situation survived, and the blood of tens of thousands of heroic soldiers was exhausted.

"The great Uighur Khanate is completely finished..."

After learning that the Khanate and the Khigashi people had reached a peace agreement, Ge Nian was completely desperate. On the night of the agreement, Ujie, who had been in charge of the Tiger Guard for thirteen years, was removed from the position of most commander, and his cold but lofty brother became a victim of a group of shameless treacherous villains in the court. Ge Nian predicted that the Khanate would sooner or later pay a heavy price for this.

Although Ge Nian was reluctant to lead the 20,000 elite Tiger Guards to regain territory for Xiao Qijin, although Ge Nian was reluctant, he was still confident in the victory of the war. He had studied the geographical and civil conditions of Fengzhou, and had also conducted in-depth research on Yang Hao and the Xining Army. Yang Hao had a thin resume and could write it with a piece of paper. The supreme commander of the Tang Army in Fengzhou seemed to have no past worth boasting about. Ge Nian couldn't understand how such a mediocre and inaction child defeated the middle of the forest, which was far stronger than his, and gained a foothold in the northern country with strong enemies. Is it just luck?

On the way to lead the army south, the Khan came with a golden order: the Tiger Guard limited to take down the Giant Stone Fort within two days. Ge Nian didn't know who proposed this strategy, and such a foolish person should be killed. Although the Giant Stone Fort is an isolated fort, the terrain is very dangerous. Twenty years ago, in order to compete for control of the west of Yinshan, the two major powers of Tubo and Uighurs had fought fiercely around the Giant Stone Fort for several months. In the end, Tubo seized the fort at the cost of 30,000 casualties. It should be noted that at that time, Tubo sent 130,000 troops, carrying hundreds of cannon trucks and winch crossbows.

After that war, the Giant Stone Fort fell into the hands of the Tara or tribe in the middle of the forest. The Tara or tribe leader Sinuka exhausted his efforts to completely transform the Giant Stone Fort. In the following twenty years, there has been no record of the Giant Stone Fort being broken head-on. The Tiger Guard is good at field attack and defense, and siege of the city has never been his strength. If someone had not deliberately put himself in the death, it would be that the Khan had treacherous ministers who had traitors surrounded him.

The general was not in charge of the orders of the outside king. Ge Nian refused the Jin order on the grounds that the flying dragon horse was about to be in the season of changing hair. He led his army into Langshan and hid in Poyang Valley according to his original plan.

"Weapons are intrigues. Therefore, if you can show it that you cannot show it, if you use it, if you don't use it, if you are close, if you show it that it is far away, if you show it that it is far away... If you attack it without preparation, you will be surprised. This victory of military strategists cannot be passed on first." Ge Nian could recite this sentence by opening his mouth. He could send troops from Langshan Poyang Valley to sweep Fengzhou in one day. The earth walls of Fengzhou could not stop the trampling of the Tiger Guard army. When Yang Hao's head was mentioned to the royal court, would those foolish or treacherous villains still chatter and let themselves siege to siege the Giant Stone Fort?

"'How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den?' This is the essence of what the Tang people said, "Attack him without preparation, and be surprised by it." Ge Nian believed that he had already seen through everything about the Tang people for eight years in Chang'an.

"Most of the commanders, we intercepted a military newspaper from the Tang army."

Dalu walked into the camp with a military newspaper in his hand. Dalu was similar to the army joining the Tang army in the Tang army. Although Ge Nian hid in Poyang Valley, he did not relax at all about the reconnaissance of the Tang army in Fengzhou. His spies were hiding in various post stations leading to Chang'an in Fengzhou, and often took special care of messengers from Fengzhou.

"... The Uighur Tianlang Army gathered 30,000 infantry and 20,000 horse troops to the west of Langshan, north of Yinshan... well-equipped, sufficient food and grass, and poor intentions... Our army plans to abandon the isolated stronghold outside Fengzhou City and concentrate troops to fight the enemy in the city... Pray for the allocation of 100,000 taels of military pay and 100,000 dan of rice and grain..."

After reading this military newspaper, Ge Nian Caocao laughed and threw it aside: "It's the same thing in the officialdom. I have said that this country is hopeless. It's like a big tree, which has been eaten by insects..." Speaking of this, Ge Nian sighed softly, saying that the Tang Dynasty was a big tree that has been eaten by empty hearts. Where is his own Khanate? It's a pair of brothers in distress...

"Do you have to transfer two thousand-man teams to Gukou to garrison? What if..."

Chi Lu is Ge Nian's clan brother. He admires his bravery and loyalty very much, but what he annoyed the most is Chi Lu's cautiousness. "This is simply the style of the Tang people." This is a sentence that Ge Nian often uses to satirize Chi Lu. Although he has been studying in Chang'an for many years, he is still an Uighur at heart. Although this younger brother has never been to Fengzhou, he looks like a Tang people inside and out.

"The Tang people are a group of timid and treacherous people who are as timid as mice and bluffing." Ge Nian sneered contemptuously. It has been a month since he entered the Great Hulu Valley. The Tang army in Fengzhou has never figured out his position. What else should I worry about with such an opponent? Ge Nian ties a belt and hangs a waist knife: "Let's go, look at our horses, I hope their hair has been replaced."

When the oolong foal changes hair, large pieces of syringia will grow on the body, and the ulcerated skin will attract piles of flies and mosquitoes. During the half-month hair change period, each horse will lose more than 20 kilograms. But don’t worry, after the hair change, the horses will be very excited and have a very good appetite. The weight you lose can recover in just one month, and will quickly gain forty or fifty kilograms in the next two months. Their long hair can withstand the severe cold of winter.

Ge Nian looked at the lazy horses and murmured, "Get up quickly. In a few days, I will take you onto the streets of Fengzhou City, so that those self-righteous Tang people will rush to offer you the most pious salute. What kind of glory will it be."

A wonderful vision appeared before Ge Nian's eyes: neat and majestic Tiger Guard soldiers marched on the wide Fengzhou Street, with the people of Fengzhou City standing on both sides, the men were hated and fearful with fear in their hearts, and the women welcomed the arrival of the winners with tears of pain. All the flying dragon foals suddenly stood up and screamed.

No, no, this is not the hissing of a flying dragon horse.

"Come! Come!" Ge Nian shouted loudly, "What happened?"

"No, the Tang army is here." A panic scream came from outside the stable.

Chilu rushed in: "Most of the commanders, the Tang army in Fengzhou is coming into the valley."

"Ah!" Ge Nian woke up from a dream, "How is this possible! It's really damn, they dared to attack the great Tianlang Army... Why don't you report me?" Ge Nian shouted hysterically, "You are all a bunch of waste! Fengzhou City is two days away, you actually let others break into the house and know that you only know!"

Gern picked up the horse whip and whipped the Wrangler beside him.

"Most coaches will walk from the back mountain." Chi Lu grabbed Ge Nian's arm and pulled it toward her.

"No! As the commander, even if you die, you will die with his soldiers." Ge Nian shook off his bare hands, pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Warriors, fight with me for honor!"
