Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3269 Premeditated retreat

Changsun Mingdao: "Never mind, the number of guards in the right brigade of the brigade entering the city is no more than a few hundred. We have no less than a thousand soldiers in the city. How can we not be able to guard the government office? You can escape outside the city through the tunnel."

Hou Mo and Chen Sui sighed.

The tactic of sending troops to blockade Jiaohe City was really ruthless, and it disrupted their plan all at once, making their plan of calmly staying out of the matter completely in vain.Once the Youtun guards stormed the government office, even if they could escape, there would be absolutely no room for them in the Tang Dynasty.

Even if there is no evidence to prove that they collude with the Turks and Arabs, as long as they escape, they will give people the impression of "absconding in fear of crime", and it is impossible to whitewash them anyway.

But if they don't leave, they will fall into the hands of Youtunwei, and all kinds of severe punishments will be imposed on them, who can guarantee to survive?
With all the calculations, how can Fang Jun not make people depressed when he suddenly broke the whole calculation?Although Fang Jun died in the Western Regions, they have made great contributions to the family, but they can no longer appear in front of people, and they will be stigmatized as "traitors" for the rest of their lives, and they cannot be buried in the ancestral grave after death...

Eldest Sun Ming is also in a heavy heart. Although he has already made preparations to dedicate everything to the family, he thinks that he has worked hard for more than ten years to manage such a good situation in the Western Regions. How can one not be depressed and resentful when one ends up with a homeless family?
The three of them all had the same fate. They thought that by sitting in Jiaohe City and planning everything secretly, they could take this meritorious service of the world into their arms. Since then, their prestige in the family has grown day by day. His official career skyrocketed, but he didn't expect that Jiaohe City would be completely destroyed by Fang Jun's seemingly intentional or unintentional blockade of Jiaohe City. He was in a bad mood for a while, and sat there silent.

After a long while, Changsun Ming took the lead to slow down, and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, what can we do? The general hurried to inform the Turkic Youtunwei of the whereabouts, and Changsun Han hurriedly prepared the way to retreat. It must be safe. Just do it."

"Here!"

The two took orders together, and Changsun Han returned to the back hall of the government office. He also brought a few dead men from the Changsun's family to open the entrance of a secret passage and search inside.In case the Right Tunwei stormed the government office and couldn't resist it, the escape route must be smooth and there should be no mistakes.

Hou Mo and Chen Sui returned to his duty room, tidied up, put on the ball cloak, and led a few confidantes into another secret passage.

When Jiaohe City was built, it was controlled by the Guanlongmen Clan, and many secret passages were left behind, which came in handy at this time.

The confidant blew the fire notes, and a group of people walked along the slightly damp secret road. After half an hour, a porch appeared in front of it, which could accommodate three or four people, and in front of it was a dark dog hole. The small hole, only allows one person to crawl through.

The confidant blew out the fire script, lowered his body first, crawled into the small hole and crawled forward. After a while, there was a knocking sound from the hole, indicating that the road was smooth and there was no abnormality.

Hou Mo and Chen Sui followed closely behind and got into the hole.

The entrance of the cave is narrow, and people cannot turn over or retreat in it, but can only move forward.Fortunately, the narrow hole was not long. After climbing for a while, Hou Mo Chensui speeded up when he saw a faint light coming from ahead.

When he reached the bright place, he stepped up and climbed a few more steps, and his eyes suddenly opened up, but he had already crawled out of the small hole, and the howling cold wind hit him, and he shivered uncontrollably.

The confidant took Hou Mo Chensui by the arm and pulled him out of the cave. Hou Mo Chensui landed on the ground with both feet. When he looked up, he found that this was a dry river channel. On the covered riverbed, there are reeds swaying at the moment, and the reeds wither and dry in winter, leaving only a densely packed reed stalk swaying and rustling in the cold wind.

In the distance, Jiaohe City on the loess platform stands majestic and majestic amidst the wind and snow.

The cronies behind him came out of the cave one after another, and Hou Mo Chensui asked someone to cover the cave, then turned his head and glanced at Jiaohe City in the snowstorm, then turned his head and strode towards the northwest.

The whole matter is dominated by Changsun Ming, and the Changsun family is the one who contributes the most inside and out. Once the matter is completed, the biggest credit will naturally be the Changsun's family.

Hou Mo and Chen Sui didn't think that he should give up his life for the merits of the eldest grandson's family. Since after this incident, he and his eldest grandson Ming and others are bound to hide their names and leave their hometowns, it is comparable to returning to Jiaohe City and risking being killed at any time. The risk of being captured or even beheaded by the Right Tunwei's breach of the government office?
People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

I just need to inform the Turkic people of Youtunwei's whereabouts according to the plan. Youtunwei was defeated and Fang Jun died. I have won the credit, and my family will naturally recognize it. When the time comes, I will go out and hide for a few years. When the situation has passed, he can still return to the Western Regions and be reused.

Hou Mo Chen Sui handed a letter he had prepared to a confidant next to him, and told him: "Take two people and go to the Arab army immediately, tell you the position of the right guard, and order him to wait for the Turks to launch a surprise attack." After victory or defeat, the whole army will attack again and wipe out the Turkic people and the Youtunwei, leaving no one behind!"

You Tunwei must be cut off. This is a big goal. Without You Tunwei, the power of the prince will be weakened immediately, and the Guanlongmen Clan can take advantage of it.However, the Guanlongmen Clan could not be leak-proof in contacting the Turkic people, and might even be threatened by the Turkic people. Therefore, the safety of the Guanlongmen Clan can only be ensured if the entire Turkic army is wiped out.

The Arabs are different, just like Changsun Han was able to serve as the guide of the Arabs before, and he can still appear in Jiaohe City in a grand manner after defeating Suiye City, because it is impossible for the Chang'an court to get in touch with the Arabs and exchange information with each other.

Although we learned about Changsun Han from one or two captives, who can do anything to the Changsun family?
In the same way, even if the Guanlongmen faction contacted the Arabs and wiped out the Turks and Youtunwei in one fell swoop, no one could blame the Guanlongmen faction for this.

Because there can be no evidence for all this...

"After the matter is completed, wait for the opportunity to escape from the Arabs and sneak back to my family's warehouse in Luntai City."

"Here!"

The confidant took the order, took the letter, ordered two people at random, and walked quickly towards the due west.

Hou Mo and Chen Sui watched the figures of several trusted aides disappear into the wind and snow,

……

The night was heavy and the wind and snow were blowing. Wei Ying and several of Fang Jun's personal guards trekked hard in the snow.

It was snowing heavily, the north wind was raging, and the temperature in the wilderness of the Western Regions was extremely low at night. Even though Wei Ying and his party were wearing cotton clothes inside and fox fur outside, their hands and feet were still stiff from the cold. Spirits to keep out the cold.

When he turned around a mountain depression, Wei Ying's heart skipped a beat as a flash of fire in the wind and snow in front of him made him lie down in the snow while pulling a few robes.

"At this time, why is there anyone here?"

A personal guard buried his head in the snow, very surprised.

Wei Ying didn't answer, but raised his eyes and looked around, the sight was blocked by the rough wind and snow, the sky and the earth were in chaos, and he couldn't see any coordinates at all, so he could only estimate in his heart, this place was about fifty miles north of Jiaohe City To the north is Bogda Mountain, the snow peak stretches for hundreds of miles, and to the west is Baishui Town, which separates the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and is inaccessible to all.

After passing Baishui Town, there is an open area formed by the divisions of many mountain ranges in Tianshan Mountains. In the north, Luntai City, an important town on the Silk Road, tightly strangles the mountain pass.

On this trip, I was ordered by the Marshal to contact the Huihe people, and according to the Huihe people's previous reports, they will follow the Turkic people to attack Baishui Town today and tomorrow, and then sneak into the border of Gaochang, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the right Tunwei.

At this time, there were actually people in this place, could it be the Turkic people, or the soldiers sent by Jiaohe City to contact the Turkic people?
Wei Ying's heart was throbbing, and he ordered in a low voice: "Speak softly, maybe it's a Turkic scout, if you catch a living one, it will be a great achievement! Everyone and I will touch it slowly to see how many people there are. Possibly, take them all!"

In fact, there is no need to speak in a low voice at all, the north wind sweeps the heavy snow and howls between the sky and the earth, if you don't get close to your ears, you may not be able to hear each other's words...

"Here!"

Several personal guards took orders in a low voice.

They are all part of Fang Jun's personal soldiers. They are usually well-trained, and they have followed Fang Jun in the South and North Wars. Walking forward slowly, he touched the direction where the fire was lit just now.
