end song

When Shi Bang gave the order, the soldiers under his command hadn't reacted yet.

Some cavalrymen even reported back: "Major General, we met a scout horse sent by King Tuohu ahead, saying that the army is here." "Idiot, those are enemy troops!"

Shi Bang glanced again, only to see that the few riders he had seen just now had disappeared into the wind and snow.

Apparently, the enemy general in charge of the sentry procrastinated after the chance encounter, while secretly sending someone back to report the news, which was very cunning.

"Shoot them!"

After a while, even the cavalry from the Western Regions who had just stayed there to procrastinate quickly reined in and fled, and the cavalry from the Yuan Army hurried to catch up.

"You keep chasing, others, follow me to the station first!" Shi Gang said again.

After he gave the order, he looked up at the snowy sky, looked down at the crude map Tachar gave him, and muttered, "Can we really meet the enemy in this ghost place? It's better for me to meet them." What arrived was the logistical equipment.”

The place marked in a circle on the map is the place where Shi Bang is going to stay. It is the grassland of the Tugacha tribe, and it is also the most fertile place with a radius of hundreds of miles.

It was already afternoon when Shi Bang arrived, and he showed various military talismans to enter the camp. He saw many Yuan soldiers sharpening their knives and feeding their horses with high fighting spirit.

"Has the support sent by King Tachar arrived?!" A general from the big tent came out to welcome him.

This general was over forty years old, with a square face, slender eyes that seemed to be half-opened, and high cheekbones, which gave people a mean feeling.

When Shi Bang saw this man, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, secretly thinking that it was this big liar who Tacha'er wanted to support himself.

Tachaer's fief is in Liaodong, and he has always wanted to swallow Goryeo, so there are indeed some Goryeo generals under his command, and this one is one, named Wang Chen.

In the 12th year of Wokuotai Khan, the ruler of Koryo surrendered to Mongolia, and let the "love son" Wang Yi lead ten people in clothes and clothes into Mongolia as hostages to meet Mongolia's hostage requirements.

Later, someone reported to Mengge Khan that Wang Chen was not the son of the king of Goryeo, but an offshoot of the Goryeo clan. Wang Chen argued that "Aizi" means "adopted son".

At this time, he had already served the Mongolian Kingdom for more than ten years, and married a woman from the Golden Family.Meng Ge didn't bother to pursue further, and gave him three hundred horses.

Although Meng Ge didn't pursue it, the disciples of Shi Bang and other nobles looked down on Wang Chen.

A tiny country, when it was conquered by the army, hid in Tibet, slavishly bowed down, and secretly played this kind of narrow-mindedness.

"It turned out to be Director Wang."

When they met, Shi Bang asked, "Is there any grievance between you and Marshal Hong?"

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, put on a serious look, and said, "Young General Shi just arrived, let's talk about military affairs first. My scouts found the Tang army stationed dozens of miles away."

"Well, I also met Tang Jun Tanma on the way here."

"What?" Wang Chen said in shock, "then the Tang army also found the whereabouts of General Shi?" "Of course."

"Young General Shi, you missed my plane!" Wang Chen said displeasedly, "A few days ago, I discovered Tang Jun's traces in the snow while exploring the horses. Come."

"You are so good, don't ask for support." Shi Gang shouted.

He is young and not an official, but he comes from an extraordinary background, so he can't understand Wang Chen's pretentiousness here.

At this time, he simply chuckled, leaned into Wang Chen's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't think I don't know. On the surface, you seem to be loyal to Dayuan, and you secretly collect the refugees who escaped from Korea as your private property. Yes, you contact your elder brother Wang Wen who is in Koryo.”

"That's Hong Junqi wronging me in front of His Majesty!" Wang Chen shouted, and said righteously: "Young General Shi, now I'm discussing with you how to fight against the enemy. If you continue to make jokes, do you want to delay the opportunity of the battle?!"

"Okay, as long as you are loyal and able to fight, I can't afford it." Shi Bang said: "Then please let us, Lord Yongning of Korea and Lord Lian Shang Shuling, issue orders."

Wang Qi glanced at Shi Bang lightly, quite contemptuous of this dude
Brother, so even the single eyelid has a bit of contempt.Even so, he didn't dare to offend Shi Tianze's son, even if Shi Gang was just a concubine.

"Major General Shi please enter the big tent to discuss matters."

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he lifted the red cloak behind him and strode towards the military conference tent, maintaining a dignified appearance in his gestures.

"As expected of the 'beloved son' of the lord of Koryo."

Seeing the back of the man, Shi Bang let out another sneer, stuffed the binoculars into the bag, and followed carelessly.Open the curtain and face a big map.

Shi Bang squinted his eyes, and the feeling of being bored after enjoying all the glory and wealth in his eyes gradually dissipated.He finally understood why Wang Chen took every "fighter" one bite at a time.

Someone drew a circle on the map and said, "If what those Mongolian deserters said is true, we can make a bold assumption that Li Xia is here, with hundreds of Tang troops and those prisoners."

~~ "Wow!"

Before dark, several cavalry rushed back to the Tang army camp.

Li Xia listened to Da Lengtai and Akemu's report, turned his head to look over there, and saw their horses snorting in the snow, their bodies were steaming because they were too tired from running.

"I see. We marched here in a hurry. I'm afraid it will be easy for the enemy to detect it first. Fortunately, you react quickly and wipe the sweat off the horses first."

The two generals froze for a moment, surprised at what kind of war horses were being rubbed at this time. They should either prepare for the battle immediately or retreat.

When they retreated, Li Xia said to Huo Xiaolian unhurriedly: "It must be that the Yuan army found us after going around, you go and arrange the defense."

When Huo Xiaolian took the order to leave, Li Xia recruited a few more personal guards, and said, "Go ask Master Shu and Tuo Licha to come over." "Yes."

"If they refuse to come over, don't ask too much, just kill them directly, and move quickly."

Faced with such an order, the guards just clasped their fists in response, turned around and left the tent neatly.After making these arrangements, Li Xia began to put on his armor.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Duo Siman came out from the tent behind and said, "You just changed the medicine, don't move around." Li Xia beckoned her to come to her side, and touched her flat belly.

"I haven't shown my pregnancy yet." Duosi said savagely, "Erji said that her belly will be big in two months."

"There may be enemy soldiers coming today and tomorrow. Then you hide behind and don't run around, you know?"

"I am a Mongolian woman, and I can fight the enemy."

"Do you know Temujin's son Jochi? Before Jochi was born, Borte was kidnapped." Li Xia frightened Duo Siman, saying, "Our son doesn't need to suffer this."

"Okay then, I'll hide then." "Put on armor for me."

"Do you still need to wear armor when you are injured?"

"I don't see that I'm hurt when I wear armor"

The two said this, and someone outside the tent said: "Your Majesty, the two marshals have arrived." Li Xia patted Duo Siman on the back and told her to go behind.He opened his mouth and said, "Go in."

When Shu Zhenbo and Tuo Licha entered the big tent, they saw Li Xia sitting there in armor again, looking majestic and heroic. "His Majesty."

"Tanma found a Yuan army in the southwest, with a large number of people. Each of you picks out a thousand trustworthy warriors from the army. I will distribute armor and weapons to them and fight for me. Are you willing?"

The two Mongolian nobles looked at each other, and it was Shu Zhenbo who spoke.

"Of course we are willing to fight, but these soldiers were defeated by His Majesty and Ke Dun not long ago, and their morale is low. More importantly, they have not been able to eat enough for the past few days, and they are afraid that they will be dispersed by the enemy."

Having said so much, Shu Zhenbo asked, "I just don't know how many Yuan troops are attacking this time? Whose people belong to them? Is Ketun far from here? If the enemy is too strong, do you still have to ask?" Can Dun come back to support?"

After asking so many questions in a series, he may not have expected Li Xia to answer them all, but he put on an air of concern but somehow made Li Xia return.
Answer one or two points.

Li Xia knew the thoughts of these new followers very well.

It's nothing more than feeling that he is not strong enough, and he wants to wait and see, he may turn against him at any time; at the same time, he is worried that he will starve to death in the snowstorm, or be liquidated after returning with Li Xia, so no effort will work.

After all, it is nothing more than strength, just like a woman needs to look at family wealth when she gets married, there is nothing wrong with it.Today I asked them to fight, so I made a decision.

You can't be timid at such a time, so he asked lightly: "I don't want to, do you?" "Your Majesty misunderstood, we."

"You think I'm begging you." Li Xia made the matter straightforward.Even today, his character has not changed much in his bones.

"You surrendered and said you wanted to fight for me. You ate my rations. Now I really want to send troops and generals. You feel like princes again."

"Don't dare!"

Shu Zhenbo was overwhelmed by his power and at the same time felt that he was too arrogant.

What was agreed at the time was that they would submit to Xilisi Khan, which also meant that at least they had to get to Liupan Mountain safely before talking about fighting for Li Xia, and the war had to be agreed according to Mongolian customs, which grassland would be their spoils of war.

"Your Majesty, we"

Uncle Shu Zhen was halfway through speaking, when a horn sounded in the distance.Someone is attacking.

"Come so fast?" Tolica was surprised.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to fight for His Majesty, so let's go to recruit troops." Shu Zhenbo deserved it at this time, but he was very straightforward.If it was said that it was to inquire about the strengths and weaknesses just now, he has already made up his mind at this time.

Just now I agreed, who knows if Li Xia will directly recruit a thousand soldiers and horses.It was different at this time, the enemy army had already attacked, and Li Xia could only distribute armor and weapons directly.

No, Li Xia waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to recruit soldiers. It won't be too late when I defeat these Yuan troops first." "But."

"You draw up a list for me, and write down all the trusted commanders and centurions, so that I can distribute armor and weapons." The killing outside the tent became louder and louder, and Li Xia only chatted with the two Mongolian marshals in the tent. With these, take it easy.

Only he himself knew that he was already very anxious.

He couldn't trust Uncle Shu and Torica, and he was making a choice right now, either scare them with his aura and make them willingly fight for him; or kill them and take control of those soldiers and horses himself.

At this time, on the contrary, Shu Zhenbo and Tuoli couldn't see the situation clearly and couldn't make up their minds.There was a thin layer of sweat on my forehead, and I still didn't know whether to write or not.

Fortunately, some generals came and reported, "Your Majesty, the Yuan army has arrived in the camp!"

"In a panic, set up my dragon banner and light up the bonfire."

"Here!"

Li Xia looked at Uncle Shuzhen and Tuolicha again, and continued to chat: "It's fine to write Uyghur-style Mongolian script, I can understand it."
