In Guazhou County.
In the residence of the marching marshal.
Han Qinhu sat firmly on the throne, and Li Jing, the army staff officer, stood on the left.
And under the seat.
Arranged in order are Yu Juluo, Yu Zan, Beigong Guochang, Yin Shishi, Fan Zigai and other border generals.
"Marshal, two generals, Xue Ju, the governor of Longxi, and Li Gui, the governor of Wuwei, led 16,000 troops and horses, and came to help in the battle!"
At this time.
Outside the mansion, a soldier walked quickly with his hands clasped in fists and reported to Han Qinhu.
"Unexpectedly, the two generals arrived so quickly! Everyone, I will go out together to welcome the two generals!"
When Han Qinhu heard this, he laughed loudly, waved his left hand, and said to the generals.
"yes!"
All the generals raised their hands, followed Han Qinhu, and filed out to greet Xue Ju and Li Gui.
Outside the mansion.
Xue Ju and Li Gui were wearing armor.
When they saw Han Qinhu coming, they just bowed slightly and bowed their hands in salute.
Han Qinhu is an open-minded person, so naturally he will not care about these things.
Immediately.
He held Xue Ju with one hand and Li Gui with the other, and strode into the mansion.
Enter the mansion.
The generals will be seated according to their official positions.
Han Qinhu talked about matters related to sending troops to regain the lost territory.
Li Gui cupped his hands and said: "Marshal, please! When the general was in Wuwei, he had already drawn the topographic map of Dunhuang and Yumenguan. The marshal can use this map to send out scouts to check and find out the layout of the enemy's troops and horses, and then remove them one by one. , you can turn defeat into victory!"
"Okay! General Li is very thoughtful and is indeed a talented general!"
After hearing what Li Gui said.
Han Qinhu suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"marshal!"
Han Qinhu didn't finish his words.
Xue Ju, the governor of Longxi, also grew taller.
He held up his hands and said: "If we launch a general offensive in the future, I will be the vanguard!"
As soon as this statement came out.
The expressions of Yu Juluo, Yu Zan and others changed slightly.
This is what worries them the most.
Yumenguan is the territory under the jurisdiction of Yuzan.
Dunhuang City was the place where Yu Juluo commanded.
If these two places are recovered by others.
So where should he put the faces of Yu Juluo and Yu Zan, two veteran generals on the battlefield?
The thought of this.
Yu Zan could no longer hold back and asked for orders: "Marshal, the last general is incompetent! I am willing to be the vanguard to regain Yumen Pass and Dunhuang City!"
"Hey! Let's not talk about who will be the vanguard for now... The most important things now are two things. First, find out the enemy's movements; second, determine when our other allies will send troops..."
Han Qinhu saw Yuzan acting like this.
You immediately knew what this person was thinking.
then.
He waved his hand slightly, pressed Xue Ju and Yu Zan down, and said.
"General, I will obey your orders!"
I saw Han Qinhu say this.
"good!"
Han Qinhu nodded slightly.
Subsequently.
He turned his eyes and looked at Xue Rengao and Xue Renyue behind Xue Ju.
"Are these two noble gentlemen?"
Han Qinhu asked Xue Judao with a smile.
"It's Quanzi."
Xue Ju nodded and replied.
"I heard that your young master is highly skilled in martial arts and must be the vanguard in every battle. I have a military task that I would like to entrust to your young master. I wonder if the general will accept it?"
Han Qinhu asked slowly.
"The marshal thinks highly of Quanzi, and the general is extremely honored! Please give the order, marshal!"
Xue Ju clasped his hands into fists and said.
Han Qinhu smiled slightly and said: "The enemy forces are quite powerful in Dunhuang City. I am going to send a troop of troops to check the actual situation of the enemy forces with the map drawn by General Li... Your young master may be qualified for this matter." ?”
"Marshal, the general is willing to go!"
Upon hearing what Han Qinhu said.
Xue Rengao immediately stepped out and accepted the order.
"Hahahaha! That's great! I and you have a thousand cavalry, do you dare to go?"
Han Qinhu laughed loudly, looking at the young general more and more pleasing to the eye, and said.
"They say it's a thousand cavalry, but even if it's a hundred cavalry, I dare to go!"
Xue Rengao patted his chest and said loudly.
after.
The young general took the command arrow from Han Qinhu's hand, bowed again, and then turned and left.
As for the others, they rested in Guazhou County. First, they waited for Xue Rengao to explore the enemy's situation; second, they only waited for the allied forces from all directions to launch a general attack.
at the same time.
Just in that vast northern land.
Wang Ke also gathered his troops and marched slowly towards Guazhou.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
Let’s talk about Dunhuang City.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva's face was as sinking as water.
Some days ago.
He used mysterious tactics and tactics to capture Yumen Pass and Dunhuang City in succession.
But after calming down.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva felt no fear in his heart.
He knew very well that his Tuyuhun national power was weak or weak.
now.
The soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun dared to fight, and they only relied on their own force and commander.
If your own family suffers a defeat.
I am afraid that various forces in the country will immediately change their minds and turn to the surrounding enemy countries.
"So, I must not lose!"
Think of this section.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva clenched his fists tightly and swore secretly in his heart.
"Khan!"
At this moment.
Tuoba Mumi walked in quickly.
"What's the matter?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva turned sideways slightly and asked.
"There are a large number of Sui army soldiers and horses in Guazhou County. I think the main force sent by the Sui Emperor has arrived!"
Tuoba Mumi whispered to Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva.
"Sure enough, it's here..."
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva nodded slightly.
Subsequently.
He walked into the hall like a dragon and a tiger, and his eyes fell on the huge map hanging on the wall.
"How many Sui troops are there in Guazhou County?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva asked.
"I don't know yet."
Tuoba Mumi replied.
"We need to send a general to find out the enemy's true identity."
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva said slowly.
Speaking of which.
He gently waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to summon his general Xiao Ludi, as well as the descendants of the Tyuhun nobles An's family - An Yuanshou and An Shengen.
Not for a while.
The three generals came to Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva.
"Now a large number of Sui troops have gathered in Guazhou County, but we don't know the exact number... The three of you, lead three thousand cavalry, are divided into three directions to inquire about the situation! If you encounter enemy troops, you must not Lianzhan, come back immediately, do you understand?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva glanced at the three people and spoke slowly.
"yes!"
Xiao Ludi, An Yuanshou and An Shengan all handed over their hands and left as ordered.
Subsequently.
The three generals put on their helmets and armor, led the troops and horses, left Dunhuang City, and headed towards Guazhou.
To put it simply, the descendants of the Tuyuhun An clan feel soothing.
Strictly speaking, this person's ancestor and Li Gui were from the same hometown, and both were from Guzang, Wuwei.
The An family was from the Sogdian tribe, and later belonged to the Tyuhun Kingdom, and gradually became the nobles of the country.
And An Shengan is a direct descendant of the An family. He has practiced archery and horse riding since he was a child. He is proficient in riding and shooting. He is good at using a long spear. His marksmanship is exquisite and he is rarely defeated by an opponent.
This time.
He followed Yaoluoge Bodhisattva on his eastern expedition.
The purpose is to achieve military exploits and win an official position.
now.
He received orders from General Yaoluoge Bodhisattva and led a thousand soldiers and horses along the road north of Dunhuang toward Guazhou County.
Out of the city gate.
The soldiers and horses will not be marching for a long time.
When everyone first came to a messy bush, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and in a moment, a troop of soldiers and horses rushed out.
This army and horse all carried the flag of the Sui army - it was the thousand cavalry led by Xue Rengao.
present.
The two armies suddenly met.
An Shengan and Xue Rengao were both surprised.
