The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 900 880 Nine: Promise leads troops out of the pass

Li Shimin's camp is not too far away from Duan Wuji's camp, and Li Shimin's camp is currently working in Datong Mansion, so the letter written by Wei Zheng was delivered in less than half a day.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw Wei Zheng's letter, and immediately wrote a reply letter, asking Duan Wuji to handle it according to his discretion.

Li Shimin didn't bother to care about such a trivial matter.

When the sun was getting dark, the man who sent the letter came back with the letter.

Wei Zheng looked at it and said with a smile: "Prince Duan, the emperor understands this matter, he is too lazy to care about such a trivial matter, and he left this matter to you.

Let you handle it at your own discretion, Your Majesty tells you not to be fooled by those Turks.

His Majesty said in the letter that those Turkic people are extremely cunning, so please be careful with them. "

Duan Wuji took the letter and read it again, then he understood what Li Shimin meant.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty's analysis is correct, if we don't pay more attention to this matter, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?

Master Wei, hurry up and go out with me tomorrow, and ask Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui to go too.

The rest of the people stay in the camp! "

"I said Prince Duan, just take a few hundred of them, is it worth our effort?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Master Wei, this matter is very important, otherwise, I would not have taken you there.

I know that you are a civil servant. Although you know a little about Wubachao, you are not much more capable than ordinary soldiers.

I'm taking you there this time because I have something important for you to do, otherwise, I won't take you there.

Tomorrow morning, we will leave on time.

Let's see if what Yelu Chucai said is true, or is he lying to us.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, we have to take it seriously.

Well, Mr. Wei, you should go back to your account and get some rest. We'll be fine today. "

The next morning, Duan Wuji got up early, and after breakfast, Duan Wuji shouted loudly: "Hurry up and beat the drums to gather the generals."

With the sound of the three-way drum, all the generals rushed over one after another.

After everyone stood up in the big tent, Duan Wuji sat in the handsome chair, and the generals returned to their original positions after seeing the ceremony.

Duan Wuji glanced at him and said with a smile: "Generals, we have been stationed in this place for several days, and there has been no fighting, so everyone must have enough energy.

Today I'm going out to do some side jobs. Those of you who stay in the camp, you have to guard the camp for me.

Whoever made a mistake because of slack, will not let me go when I come back.

Do you all understand?

During the few days we left, Cheng Yaojin was in charge of everything in the camp, and You Junda was his deputy.

When something happens, the two of you discuss it together, but don't make any mistakes.

Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui listened to the order, you two should each lead [-] cavalry, and set off with me now.

Master Wei, let's go, let's get on the horse too. "

When Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui saw the marshal pointing at them, they made me laugh out loud.

"Marshal! The last general has to lead!"

The two walked out in stride, and the two ordered the army to go.

Cheng Yaojin saw him and asked: "Marshal Duan, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Ruhui are the two most idiots, why are you taking them with you when you go out.

What do you think these two trash can do? "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Brother Cheng, don't complain. The war has not officially started yet. I won't take them out to make some contributions. When the war really starts, do you think they will still have a chance to make contributions?

Alright, in the past two days, you can watch the big camp for me!
This place we're staying isn't too far from the border, you gotta cheer me up. "

"Marshal Duan, don't worry, our buddies will guard the camp, it will be safe."

"Well! Just be safe."

Duan Wuji led Wei Zheng out of the big tent, and the two mounted their horses.

Not too long later, Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui rushed out of the camp with [-] cavalry each.

This team rushed to the pass of the Great Wall in a mighty manner.

It is said that there are five hundred soldiers, of all kinds.

When the number of soldiers reaches one thousand, it will reach the sky completely, and when the number of soldiers reaches ten thousand, there is no limit.

These [-] cavalry are really boundless!

The brigade drove to the pass of the Great Wall and stopped, and the generals guarding the border rushed over.

"The commander in chief, the last general Song Wan will see the marshal."

"General Song, get up quickly!

General Song, from this evening to the morning of the day after tomorrow, you must cheer up the brothers guarding the border, and report to me immediately if there is any disturbance.

Did you hear me clearly? "

"Yes! The general understands.

Marshal Duan, is there any major event on our border these two days? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Does it need to be said? If there is nothing wrong, do you think I can lead so many troops here?
Since I led the army and led the team, there must be something wrong. "

After Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui set up the camp, the two came over again.

"Marshal, we have already set up the big camp, do you think there is anything else to do?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Nothing will happen during the day today, you let the brothers bury the pot and cook, and have a good rest.

Tell the brethren, let them be ready to go to war at any time, within two days after tomorrow, we will have military operations! "

"Marshal, we both understand, we will tell the brothers to go now."

After speaking, the two men went back to the camp.

Wei Zheng looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Marshal Duan, don't you think it's a bit of a big deal to make such a big fuss in order to support Na Yelu's savings?

Not only did you come yourself, but you came with so many troops, I don't know what you think. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said Master Wei, although you are a civil servant, you also stayed in the army.

If I send a general to lead two to 3000 people, if everything is as Yelu Chucai said, it will be fine.

If the situation is not like that, then we must suffer from being dumb!
This battle hasn't really been fought yet. Could it be that you just want me to lose the battle first!

You also know that the situation on this battlefield is changing rapidly, so what if you don't make adequate preparations!

Master Wei, just look at it, no matter how the body heat changes, we can't suffer.

Let's go, follow me up the city wall and watch it! "

Under the leadership of Song Wan, the two climbed to the highest point of the Great Wall. Although it is early February, there is still a vast snowfield outside the Great Wall.

The whole area outside the pass looked desolate and vast. After looking at it for a long time, Duan Wuji said to Wei Zheng: "Yelu Chucai's hometown is in the northeast direction. They didn't come here tonight with too much energy, but they should come in the morning after tomorrow." Come here!

How many times have we run this road, and we will be here in less than one night.

Tonight, let the brothers have a good rest. Tomorrow afternoon, I will lead the brothers to lie in ambush in the forest.

You lead [-] brothers to guard this pass, and by the way, make preparations for accepting Nayelu's wealth reserve, and guard against those Turkic people who launch a surprise attack on you.

Did you hear me clearly?

Prince Duan, Marshal Duan, I, Wei Zheng, understand. "

Duan Wuji smiled happily.

"It's good if you understand! But, you have to convey what I said to the brothers!

Well, that's it for today.Let's go back to camp!

General Song Wan, you can let people guard here day and night!If there is any disturbance, send someone to notify me immediately, don't be careless! "

Song Wan nodded again and again.

"Marshal Duan, don't worry, isn't it only two days, I will guard here personally, and there will never be any mistakes."

Duan Wuji nodded and led Wei Zheng back to the camp.

Sure enough, nothing happened that night, after lunch the next day, Duan Wuji called Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruhui in.

"Brothers, you two left [-] brothers for Wei Zheng, and the rest follow me out immediately!
Tell the brethren, bring a meal or two of dry food, we won't be coming back tonight.

If we want to come back, we have to go at noon tomorrow.

Well, you two go and raise the army now!After a while, the team was assembled, and we set off immediately.

Tell the brethren, everyone has enough arrows. Once a battle starts, the arrows are much safer than the swords and guns! "

"Well, we know about this matter, brother, just look at it, we are also veteran generals for many years, so there is no such thing as this at all!"

After speaking, the two walked out.

Not long after, horses neighed in the barracks, and the soldiers immediately took action.

Duan Wuji walked out of the big tent, got on his horse outside, immediately led his troops to the pass, and went to ambush in the mountain depression.
