Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3162 The situation is critical

Xue Rengui pondered for a while.

It stands to reason that Yuan Wei had a secret relationship with the Changsun family before, and the Changsun Han was proven to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and Yuan Wei broke out from the encirclement of the enemy's encirclement. One after another, it shows that Yuan Wei is very suspicious .

However, no matter how unreasonable it is, it is just a suspicion, and there is no real evidence to identify Yuan Wei as collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Throughout the ages, dynasties have changed, and laws have been changed one after another, but they have never heard the saying "there is no doubt about crime".

After a while, Xue Rengui poured a cup of tea for Yuan Wei with his own hands, and said with a pleasant face, "I am not someone who doesn't trust the robes, but the enemy is at hand, and the Western Regions are at stake, so I have to be careful everywhere, and I can't tolerate any omissions. Lieutenant Wangyuan can understand my embarrassment. Therefore, I appoint you as the clerk of the army, stay by my side and assist in handling official affairs, but you are not allowed to meet outsiders without authorization. After this battle is intervened, I will personally help you Please help me, I don’t know what to do?”

Sending Yuan Wei back to Guanzhong is the safest way, once and for all, no matter whether Yuan Wei is collaborating with the enemy or treason, as long as he is not left in the army, there will be no news to leak.

But Xue Rengui didn't want to do that.

If Yuan Wei was really collaborating with the enemy and treasonously, it would be safe to bring him up against the Anxi Army without evidence, but if Yuan Wei was not collaborating with the enemy and treasonously, it was really just luck that he survived the heavy pursuit of the Arabs, then Yuan Wei Fear is a hero.

Xue Rengui couldn't treat a hero who sacrificed his life with suspicion.

In this way, he would rather keep Yuan Wei by his side to supervise personally than to humiliate the hero and chill the hearts of the people with lofty ideals.

Yuan Wei got up immediately, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The final general is willing to fight for Sima and die without regret!"

He was really grateful.

It is hard to avoid doubts about what happened to anyone, luck is too good, many times it is not just a matter of luck, Xue Rengui suspects that although it makes him uncomfortable, it is absolutely acceptable, because this is human nature.

Xue Rengui is responsible for commanding the Anxi Army in battle, and is the No.1 under Li Xiaogong's command of Anxi Governor, so it is really correct to be cautious.Even if it was a different place, Yuan Wei felt that if he could send a doubtful general like himself back to Guanzhong, it would be a great tolerance.

When meeting someone who is narrow-minded and irresponsible, why not simply find a pretext and kill him with a single blow?

Don't say anything about grievances or injustices, the battlefield is not just about charging.

What's more, he is the son of Guan Long, and Xue Rengui's position is that of the East Palace Party...

It is true that returning to Guanzhong can save his life, but there are so many Guanzhong children in the army, it is impossible not to spread his affairs back to Guanzhong, and all kinds of rumors will definitely be rampant at that time.Ordinary people don't think about the reason behind this, and they can't figure it out. They only know that Yuan Wei must have been collaborating with the enemy and treason. He was expelled from the Anxi Army because he had no evidence, and went back to his hometown in embarrassment.

The men in Guanzhong are full of blood. If you were shrouded in horse leather and died in battle, your parents, wives and children would be proud of you, and your fellow villagers would give you a thumbs up and praise you as a "good boy". Whenever there is a dispute, they will take the initiative to bow their heads and avoid three points to show respect.

On the contrary, if anyone made a mistake in the army, he would become the object of contempt by all the folks.

Not to mention the crime of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" and other crimes that humiliate the ancestors. It would be considered tolerant not to make you a pig cage and throw you into the river...

Xue Rengui took the risk to keep him in the army, which not only saved his official career, but also preserved his reputation and saved his family from being ashamed.

How about repaying such kindness with death?
Xue Rengui waved his hand, and said solemnly: "At this time, when we are employing people, we are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. We should fight the enemy with all our strength and repay with death! Although I keep you in the army, it does not mean that That's the end of the matter, I just don't want to wrong a hero who is fighting desperately! What should happen in the future, you have to take care of yourself."

Yuan Wei nodded heavily, pointing to the sky and made an oath: "The last general has never been half treasonous before, neither has this intention nor trace, and will be the same in the future. If you violate this oath, you will be willing to die with thousands of arrows piercing your heart , future generations, no peace!"

Xue Rengui waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this. If the gods have eyes, how can there be misery in the world? Right and wrong are all in your own mind, but before doing anything, you have to weigh the consequences. It's okay, I'm hurt all over, hurry up and let me go. Follow the army doctor and Chinese medicine doctor to treat it, don't leave the root of the disease, I still have a lot to rely on."

"Here! The end general will leave first."

The haze in Yuan Wei's heart dissipated, he saluted and said goodbye, and limped out of the main hall.

Seeing Yuan Wei's figure disappearing at the door, Xue Rengui took a sip from his teacup and found that the tea was already cold, so he couldn't help sighing.

He kept Yuan Wei, although he couldn't bear to see the hero being wronged, but maybe it was because of the lack of mid-level generals in the Anxi Army who dared to do things and act resolutely?

In his opinion, most of Anxi's army are the sons of aristocratic families who came to work in the bastards. People like Yuan Wei are already considered to have outstanding abilities.Those guys are good at eating and drinking and grabbing credit, but when it comes to marching and setting up formations and fighting for supremacy on the battlefield, they are a bit short of breath.

However, there is nothing he can do about the current situation. He can only wait patiently for those students who have received formal military education in the lecture hall of the academy to graduate and fill the army. to a higher step.

*****
Outside the valley of fighting and pulling, in the barracks.

Fang Jun handed Pei Xingjian the battle report from Anxi Duhu Mansion, got up and walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, with a heavy heart.

Outside the window, several fortresses at the entrance of Dadouba Valley have been completed. According to the news from the scouts, Nuo Hebo has led [-] to [-] elite soldiers into Qilian Mountains and marched towards Dadouba Valley. Arrived at the mouth of the valley.

A fierce battle is ready to go.

Originally, Fang Jun had seventy-eight percent confidence in defending Dadou Bagu and defeating the Tuyuhun army, but the news from the Western Regions suddenly made his heart heavy, and he was also worried about the development of the battle situation.

20 Arab troops invaded the Western Regions, and the Anxi Army had less than [-] troops to defend the various key points. Facing the fierce attack of an enemy several times its size, it could not get any support. The situation was extremely passive and the prospects were extremely gloomy.

Even though Li Xiaogong is the "No.1 general of the clan" in the Tang Dynasty, he has been out of battle for a long time, and this time he is serving as the governor of Anxi in the Western Regions. Rather than saying that His Majesty Li Er respects this cousin, it is better to say it is to appease him. The restless Li Tang royal family.

Xue Rengui is a talented general, and he is even more famous in history, but now he is just a fledgling junior, and he is not yet the full body of the "white-robed general" who "fixed the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows" and "repelled ten thousand enemies with his hat off". Is it such a miracle that less wins more?
Once the Western Regions fall, the Arabs will drive straight to capture Yumen Pass, and they will face Hexi directly.

At that time, even if he defeated the Tuyuhun iron cavalry, how would he face the Arab army with a great victory, high morale, and a strength of 20?

Counting left and right, there is no chance of winning...

Outside the window, the scorching sun had been blocked by dark clouds at some point, and the Gobi desert was covered with shade, and the cool wind suddenly picked up, perhaps an autumn rain was about to come.

The weather in the Western Regions is very extreme, hot as a steamer in summer, and as cold as an icehouse in winter.After an autumn rain, the hot midsummer will soon be over, and the vegetation will wither and turn yellow. Before long, the north wind will blow the ground and the cold will come.

The roads will be blocked by heavy snow, and it will make it difficult for the Arabs to sustain their logistics. If they want to continue to wage war, they will have to pay a higher price.

And this may be the only good news for the Anxi Army right now.

Of course, it will take more than a month from the autumn wind until the snow is all over the sky, and the Anxi Army will surely face the crazy attack of the Arabs in this month. Strategic goals are still unknown.

The situation in the Battle of Hexi may be worse than that of the Western Regions.

Although Xue Rengui was born in the Youtunwei, he knew the combat power of the Youtunwei well. He believed that the Youtunwei, who was equipped with a large number of firearms, had already become the strongest among the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty. How to resist the surprise attack of [-] to [-] Tuyuhun cavalry?
Once Hexi is lost, the connection between the Western Regions and Guanzhong will be blocked, and the entire Western Regions will become an enclave. The Anxi Army will have no way to retreat at that time, and perhaps the only ending will be the annihilation of the entire army...

The situation is at stake.
