Ma Youcai didn't pay much attention to the situation on his side, and was shouting randomly, which suddenly startled Ma San.
"Brigade Commander Ma, we serve the imperial court, and with the imperial salary, we don't dare to act so recklessly. Your Majesty personally arranged this matter. If one of me doesn't do it well, it will be a big disaster."
Ma San persuaded Ma Youcai earnestly here, but Ma Youcai really didn't care.
"Ma San, Ma San, our surname is Ma, we should be close to each other. I understand what you are saying, but it's really nothing. Let's play a few games."
But before Ma San could answer Ma Youcai, let alone give him a few words of advice, another rough voice sounded.
"You feel really comfortable. How about I play two games with you?"
As this voice sounded, Jiang Fangguo strode into the courtyard.
Seeing the crowd gathering here to gamble, they were very angry.
"You've totally embarrassed me. I keep giving orders to cheer me up when I'm carrying out my mission. You'd better do this. What are you doing?"
This horse is talented and not afraid of Ma San. He didn't care about other people, but Jiang Fangguo was the captain of the Zhechong Mansion, their highest official. If he didn't care, he would just walk away without any money.
Jiang Fangguo was not polite to Ma Youcai, although Ma Youcai behaved very obediently in front of him.
"You are very courageous. You actually dare to commit a crime against the wind. Don't you know that this is a task assigned by His Majesty? It goes without saying that I can't keep you if you act so recklessly. Come on!"
Following Jiang Fangguo's order, a dozen people with the same armor as Ma Youcai, Ma San and others rushed out from behind. They were all the brigade commanders in Zhe Chong Mansion.
Seeing these brigade commanders rushing over, Jiang Fangguo and Ma Youcai spoke again.
"Since this is your first offense, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll drag you out and give you thirty military sticks to serve as a warning. I'll transfer you back to Qiongzhou City to garrison. From now on, don't think about getting involved in this matter again. If you are exposed, The news is that I won’t be merciful enough to keep you here, so you have to think clearly on your own.”
Jiang Fangguo seemed to have judged Ma Youcai's situation and arranged such a deal with him here, but Ma Youcai was frightened.
"Lord Captain, spare your life, Lord Captain, spare your life! The Thirty Army Commander is willing, but this little one doesn't dare to leave from here. Now that the little one knows what's going on and the seriousness of the matter, please give me some help again." This is just one chance for me, I will never do something like this again, please be merciful!"
But no matter what Ma Youcai said, Jiang Fangguo remained unmoved. After waving again, several brigade marshals took him out.
And looking at the remaining group of frightened government soldiers kneeling on the ground, Jiang Fangguo was even more disgusted.
"You're so confused, I won't let you off lightly."
Now everyone is wailing here. You, the official, will spare him by beating him with thirty army sticks, but you won’t spare us. What’s going on?
But before they could figure it out, Jiang Fangguo continued talking.
"You should do hard work for me in this area to atone for your sins. If anyone dares to do anything illegal again, I will let him taste the sword on my waist to see if it is rusty."
Jiang Fangguo directly issued a death threat, which frightened this group of people here. However, after being frightened for a short time, under the leadership of a shrewd person, they knelt directly on the ground, begging Jiang Fangguo for forgiveness, and guaranteed that they would definitely Nothing like this will happen again.
There is a chance if you stay here.
Qiongzhou was quietly carrying out the tasks arranged by Xu Yunyan. Beidi Hou Junji led his Flying Tiger Army to retreat to the designated position. In Chang'an City, Li Shimin had already gathered his troops and stood ready by the Wei River.
It's just that it was quiet in the dead of night. Except for the patrolling soldiers, the other soldiers were resting in their tents. Li Shimin really couldn't sleep. He was sitting in front of the table in the brightly lit tent and reading a book. Let your mind calm down.
It's just that the method that was very effective in the past has completely lost its effect after this time.
After reading just a few pages, I threw the book away.
"What a shame, why can't I calm down? It's as if something big is going to happen. Could it be that something unexpected happened to the Hou Jun gathering?"
People are so careless about it. When Li Shimin was talking about Hou Junji's gathering, nothing would happen, but he must not encounter unexpected changes when he needed him most. The army led by Hou Junji did not let him go. People are disappointed.
Of course, this did not disappoint people. It did not disappoint the Turkic side as the enemy.
After Hou Junji retreated towards the periphery, the Turkic cavalry on the outermost periphery who tolerated their disguised approach met them head-on.
"General of the Tang Army. Hurry up and follow me back to meet the Great Khan. Surrendering can save your life. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your life."
A Turkic general looked at Hou Junji here and shouted for him to surrender, but Hou Junji sneered.
"It's a joke. If you want me, Hou Junji, to surrender, I won't be able to surrender to you unless you all surrender first."
This means that these Turks were a little unresponsive.
We have all surrendered, why do we need you to surrender?
But before the Turks started to attack Hou Junji here, Hou Junji suddenly burst into action. He raised his hand and shot a deadly sharp arrow from a miniature crossbow.
This sharp arrow was also like a signal to launch an attack. After Hou Junji fired the sharp arrow, all the enemy troops began to charge towards Hou Junji's headquarters, and Hou Junji and the others also used their flesh and blood to fight against this Turkic cavalry clashed.
Although they were cavalry when they entered in disguise, in order to better kill them in the camp, they turned the cavalry into infantry. Even if the small tribe was in chaos again, they did not snatch many war horses.
In order to achieve greater results, Hou Junji let the war horse gallop through the camp, which would not only cause more trauma to the Turks, but also make their cavalry disappear.
The intention is good.
But the result was that Hou Junji and the others lost their war horses, and some soldiers lost their young lives when they were trampled by their war horses.
What Hou Junji and the others were doing was quickly reported by the scouts to Li Shimin, who was waiting for news during the battle between the Chinese army. Li Shimin heard that Hou Junji had led his team to successfully sneak into the Turkic camp, and caused a catastrophe in the Turkic camp. When the situation was chaotic and the entire outer camp was ablaze, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Okay, great. This Li Ying's brain is really a genius. He can actually think of such a pattern of field raids."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the other generals who got the news and rushed over were talking here.
"Late night attack on the camp? There are these in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". It cannot be said that it is Li Ying's credit. It is just that the soldiers he trained are extremely elite. It really takes a huge credit."
This is Chai Shao’s opinion.
As the most secure position among the generals except Li Shimin, even if his surname is not Li, his position is stronger than that of generals such as Li Shentong and Li Daozong. The son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor has a strong say.
But just as they were sighing here that this matter was going smoothly, when the Turks were about to be destroyed in the first battle, another cavalry came to report.
Although the small tribes in the outermost camp made them confused and suffered heavy losses, for the Turks, they only lost one of their arms. The 300,000 Turkic soldiers at this time were still close to 200,000. This shocked Li Shimin. .
However, Li Shimin was also lamenting the gathering of Hou Junjun here. It was just the sentence that no one wanted to hear. After they heard this sentence, they knew that something major would definitely happen.
Sure enough, this messenger did not reverse their uneasy mood, but instead started talking here.
"Your Majesty, we have discovered that the newly formed Flying Tiger Army led by General Hou is trapped in the outermost Turkic patrol. They are fighting with tens of thousands of Turkic patrols. From the rear of the camp, there are also elites from Jieli's main camp at any time. We may send out support, but please make an early decision, Your Majesty.”
