Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2043 Xue Yantuo withdraws troops
In the education that Dugu Shouzhong received since he was a child, the words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" have never been included. Even though he has read the sentence "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go to it", he has not delved into its meaning. In my cognition, only the family is the existence that makes the children throw their heads and blood to sacrifice their lives for them.

But Fang Jun in front of him, knowing that he will face a situation where the whole country will be enemies after an all-out war with Xue Yantuo, but he is still upright and does not hesitate to do so!

In the past, when Dugu Shouzhong faced such people and such things, he would sneer at them with a look of disdain, thinking that he was just putting on a show and trying to gain fame.However, standing opposite Fang Jun at this moment, feeling the firmness and nobility of "for the country and the people, it doesn't matter to die" revealed in Fang Jun's words, the heart is greatly touched.

In comparison, it is inevitable to feel ashamed...

Fortunately, no matter whether the descendants of aristocratic families or literati and officials in the Tang Dynasty, bathed in the splendor of the prosperous age, they were not as shameless and without bottom line as the later generations. They pursued their own values, but they did not regard other people's different ideals and aspirations. Regarded as stupid and ridiculed, people in this era can maintain enough respect for all great and noble things, and give praise and support because they cannot do it.

"At that time, on the memorandum, the name of the last general will be signed, and the last general will also have a good time, haha..."

Dugu Shouzhong laughed.

Fang Jun also laughed: "Since this is the case, how can my younger brother swallow such a feat?"

If you go straight to the Yu Dujun Mountain and destroy the Yinan Khan's tooth tent, you will naturally deserve the praise of the power of the sky, but as long as you fail to reach this step, you will not destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate, making it difficult to intervene in the war of Goguryeo. , that is a great sin.

Dugu Shouzhong expressed his position in this way, he will not participate in it, but he will definitely not drag Fang Jun's hind legs, and make irresponsible remarks in the memorial to slander.

What's more, if Fang Jun bears the consequences alone, and bears the consequences with the generals of Beijiang, the situation will naturally be very different.

These people are in the northern border, facing the war directly, according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, they have a very large right to dispose of them, and they have the right to make any choice without an explicit order from the imperial court!

Even if this move violates the current national policy, the law does not blame the public. With Fang Jun at the front and the generals sharing the firepower, Fang Jun will not be dismissed from office and dust off...

This is a great favor, and Fang Jun must appreciate it.

"Brother Dugu loves so much, how can I drag my brother into trouble and make him suffer? This trip to the north will definitely ravage the grasslands and deserts vigorously. If you don't hit the Yudujun Mountain, don't drink a cup of tea in Yinan Khan's tooth tent. Let Yi Nan Khan dance a Huxuan dance, vowing not to return! Dugu brother sits in Mayi, after the spring, there will be good news!"

After saying that, he laughed and pushed the door away.

Dugu Shouzhong stood at the door, watching Fang Jun's generous back striding out of the government office, all the generals and school of Youtunwei on the road gathered behind him, mounted their horses one after another, and rushed to the Youtunwei barracks in the west of the city.

Soon after, news came that the whole army of Youtunwei left the city and went straight to Dingxiang.

Dugu Shouzhong looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed softly.

As a child of an aristocratic family, he started off a few levels higher than those mud-legged poor families. If he had some talent, he would immediately rise to the top of the official career.However, while the powerful family power provides support for the children, it is also equivalent to putting a shackle on them.

There are too many concerns, too many taboos, and too many restrictions.

Even if the talents are peerless, how many people can break free from this shackles, soar freely and do whatever they want?
*****
Yanmen closed.

Dadu set stared at the wolf-toothed arrow slantingly inserted into the ground in front of his eyes, and then looked up at the No. [-] Pass in the North Land lying between the mountains in the distance, a surge of anger rose in his heart, and his eyes were about to burst!
Seeing that the great feat of slaughtering the Turkic people is about to be achieved, but it is blocked by the Tang army, who can not be mad with anger?
But he has not lost his mind at all. He knows that seeking Yanmen Pass is not only a violation of his father Khan's orders, but also that the Tang army is sticking to the danger. Being able to fill out wins.

If not only failed to capture Yanmen Pass, but also lost soldiers and generals, he would not be able to explain to his father Khan after returning, and his prestige would be damaged even more.

The barbarians on the prairie are the most realistic. He only judges heroes by success or failure. He led an army out for the first time and returned home with a feather. It's really not worth the candle.

His face was stern, and after a while, he glanced at Tu Midu beside him: "I want to attack Yanmen Pass, what is Qu Shuai's intention?"

Tu Midu cursed in his heart, and said solemnly: "I am a rough man, and I don't know military strategy. I only know that the second prince is leading the way! You withdraw as you say, and I will obey you. You fight as you say, and the Huihe iron cavalry waits for you." Your dispatch, willing to be the vanguard!"

He had already seen through Dadu's temperament.

Aspiring, talented, ambitious, selfish, brutal, and the worst thing is that he hesitates to make a decision. How could such people have the courage to completely disobey the Khan's order, lead an army of tens of thousands to forcibly attack Yanmen Pass, and provoke Xue Yantuo and Datang? Total War?

The reason why I asked myself was just to play tricks and test my loyalty...

Hearing Tumidu's firm words, Dadu set his face a little pale, and said warmly: "Huihe is also a part of Tie Le, and our ancestors are all connected by blood. How can I be heartbroken to see Huihe iron cavalry go away with flesh and blood? Assault on the strong city of the Tang people? When it comes to cavalry field battles, the Tang people may not be Xue Yantuo's opponent, but when it comes to defending the fortified city, Xue Yantuo is far behind the Tang people..."

After reassuring Tu Midu, he said loudly: "The people of Tang have already made preparations. If they attack Yanmen Pass by force, they will suffer heavy losses. However, the commanders will not only lead you to make contributions and plunder wealth, but also bring you back alive! Otherwise, how can I feel at ease when your wives, children, and parents are crying and mourning day and night on the grassland?"

Looking around for a week, I saw that these words really moved many people. I felt a little proud, and said loudly: "Listen to my order, and withdraw the troops immediately! We will return to Dingxiang City and capture it. From then on, the entire Baidaochuan will be brought into Khan. Within the territory of the country, our children and grandchildren can all herd sheep and horses in this warm place!"

"The second prince is mighty!"

"I will listen to the second prince!"

……

No one wants to fight, even the Xue Yantuo people who are used to plundering for a living.

Only by living can we enjoy good food and wine, and the female relatives of the Han people, but fighting means death. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty’s battle to destroy the Eastern Turks was just over ten years ago. Instead of weakening, its invincible power across the world has not weakened. On the contrary, it has become more and more tyrannical. Who wants to be like this against the enemy?
Therefore, the choice of Dadushe was immediately supported, and it was a shame for the barbarians to retreat before the battle. At this time, Dadushe gained a good reputation of "loving soldiers like sons", and gained a wave of loyalty... …

Dadu set a cold glance at Tang Jun, who was unexpectedly lined up at the point of an arrow, and he was extremely envious of the shiny armor and Mo Dao.

The Eastern Turks did not know how to smelt iron, but they were able to rule the tribes on the grassland who were best at smelting iron, and thus obtained a lot of sharp weapons and armor.However, Xue Yantuo almost completely inherited the territories and tribes of Eastern Turks, but those tribes who were good at iron smelting would rather move westward than accept Xue Yantuo's rule.

On the contrary, Huihe has a good relationship with it...

This caused Xue Yantuo's cavalry to dominate the grasslands in numbers, but when it comes to weapons and armor, they are not as good as their own horses and Huihe people...

The level of iron smelting in Datang is another level.

Putting away these untimely thoughts in his head, Dadu set ignored Tang Jun again, turned his horse's head, whipped his horse, and returned along the original road.

Behind him, the mighty tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry all rode their horses to follow them, like a raging cloud, a fierce hurricane blew up on the ground, and the ice and snow foam on the ground rolled up into the air, with a terrifying momentum.

The team of tens of thousands of people was not confused by the retreat. Xue Yantuo's cavalry retreated slowly and orderly.

Dadu set was in a very depressed mood, this time he failed to compete for the full success, but just wiped out the dog-legged Lite people of the Turkic people, which was far from imagination.If Dingxiang City cannot be captured, after returning to Yazhang this time, he will definitely be punished extremely severely by his father Khan.

But Dingxiang City is guarded by two of the sixteen most elite guards of the Tang army, how to win it?

Feeling irritable, I simply stopped thinking about it, and waited until I returned to Daying to see the situation in Dingxiang City.

Just as he was riding his horse forward, suddenly, a cold arrow shot straight down from the steep mountain beside the road, and hit Da Du She's right shoulder fiercely.

Dadu set up a wild roar: "Enemy attack!"

Then he pulled off the helmet on top of his head, endured the severe pain and pulled out his waist knife to cut off the shaft of the arrow, then took off the cloak behind him, leaned on the horse and rode into the chaotic formation of cavalry.

He didn't want to be a target for enemies lurking in the dark.
