Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 136
Bi Suo hurried to the big tent, Yuanjue lifted a corner of the felt curtain and shook his head.
“General, the regent has no time to see you right now.”
Bi Suo looked in through the seams of the curtain. The tent was full of people. The generals were divided into two groups. They stood on both sides of the lower head of Tamaraga. They seemed to be confronting each other. The faces of both sides were filled with anger, and the atmosphere was deadlocked. Depressed, only Mobido stood in the corner with his arms folded, his face looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
The generals were excited and complained loudly, but Tamaraga said nothing, his face was cold.
Bi Suo frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Yuan Jue replied in a low voice: “Just a few captains led people to clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, count the captives… Others pursued the remnants of Beirong. They captured a son and two nephews of Wakhan Khan, as well as a gang. Bei Rong nobles, a tribe also found a camp of Bei Rong people, there are women in it, how can those tribal coalition forces compare with the strict discipline of our Chinese army? They have hatred with Bei Rong, and they hate to kill the Bei Rong people. I almost started looting and burning… Today there have been several disputes. The regent has just issued an order not to kill indiscriminately, not to harass the civilians, and those Beirong nobles, no matter what their status, as long as they surrender, they can’t just kill. Killing. Anyone who wounds without cause, regardless of status, shall be dealt with in accordance with military law.”
“There are many people who are dissatisfied. They are clamoring to kill the son of Wakhan Khan. The regent refused to agree and sent Mópido to look at the prince.”
Bi Suo sighed.
Tamara Gha had long established the rule of not to kill and surrender, and also issued several prohibitions such as not to harass the people.
The Chinese army is loyal to the royal family, and Tan Moroga once publicly dealt with a group of noble children who violated military discipline in the identity of the Sultan. The Chinese army has lingering fears and has always followed the rules. Several other armies used to obey the instructions of the nobles and acted without any scruples. Although the atmosphere of the army has been refreshed in the past few months, they have gone on the battlefield and experienced **** battles. Faced with Bei Rong who committed **** debts, they escaped from the dead. It is difficult for the soldiers to be tolerant.
Normally, after a great war, the generals would deliberately condone the soldiers to appease the military’s mind, and Tamaraga would never do that.
Bi Suo waited outside for a while.
In the tent, Tamara Gha waved his hand, which could not be disputed.
Seeing that he was resolute, they did not dare to argue any more, so they quit. When several generals walked to the door, they hesitated for a moment, and there was a look of unwillingness on their faces. They turned around and wanted to say something, but they were dragged away by others.
Mopydo also quit the big account. When he passed Bi Suo, he stopped and asked: “General, did the Shacheng guard write to you? Is Princess Wen Zhao in Shacheng?”
Bi Suo said vaguely: “There is no news yet.”
Mobiduo frowned slightly.
Bi Suo entered the big tent, walked to the book case, was anxious, hesitated for a moment, and handed a letter: “The Regent, I am worried about the safety of Princess Wen Zhao, and wrote a letter to the Shacheng guard, asking whether the princess arrived safely. The reply from Shacheng Guardian just arrived, and he said that the princess is not in Shacheng…”
Tamara Gha motioned to Bi Suo to put down the letter, his face calm and calm.
“I know.”
Bi Suo’s pupils shrank suddenly.
“You know?”
Tamara Gaya nodded, raised his pen and replied, saying: “She has gone to see Li Zhongqian.”
Bi Suo’s mouth opened wide, unable to close it for a long time.
“How would you know?”
He patted his head. “The princess told you in that letter?”
Li Yaoying left a letter before leaving, and asked him to hand it to Tamaraga. He hesitated for a long time, worrying that the content of the letter would stimulate Tamaraga, and wanted to see what was written on the letter before deciding whether to help forward it before the war. After hesitating for a few days, he still didn’t want to offend Li Yaoying, so he gave the letter to Yuanjue intact.
After Tamaraga read the letter, there was no response, and he commanded the generals to line up as usual.
Bi Suo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that Li Yaoying’s letter might have just written some usual polite words, so Tamaragarh didn’t react at all, and gradually forgot about it.
At this moment, looking at Tamaraga, who had no expression on his face, he suddenly remembered the letter.
“Princess Wen Zhao…what did you say in the letter?”
Bi Suo’s voice trembled a little.
Tamaraga’s movements were calm and calm, “She said that the Western Army must take advantage of the troubles and retake the important town as a stronghold. She is going to join Yang Qian and Li Zhongqian has already rushed to Shacheng. She will leave early after confirming safety. In order to be reunited with Li Zhongqian as soon as possible. Jia Er who escorted her has already reported to me.”
Li Yaoying also said that he was grateful for his continuous care and asked him to use medicine carefully so as not to hurt his body. Remember to eat more frequently when you are hungry, and be sure to add warm clothes when it’s cold.
She never belonged to the royal court.
In the past, he thought she would leave when the one-year contract expired.
The arrival of Li Xuanzhen and Li Zhongqian brought everything forward.
Bei Rong was defeated, and she became the leader of the Western Army, and the identity of Modern Lady was meaningless to her.
“she left.”
Tamara Gaya spoke indifferently, writing smoothly, with a calm tone and a steady voice, as if he was only talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Bi Suo’s heart tightened.
He actually knew it a long time ago? !
Tamara Jia didn’t look up, “What else do you want to ask?”
Bi Suo shook all over, exited the big tent in embarrassment, and stood outside the felt curtain, looking pale.
Yuanjue stared at him suspiciously: “General, what’s the matter with you?”
Bi Suo shook his body and sighed.
Yuanjue reached out to help him: “General?”
Bi Suo smiled bitterly, “I was wrong.”
“what?”
Bi Suo’s lips quivered, he was wrong.
He underestimated the perseverance of Tamaraga.
Luo Jia knew that after Li Yaoying and Li Zhongqian were reunited, he would definitely leave the royal court without hesitation. He still did not show a trace of depression. He calmly commanded the soldiers to fight, dealt with cumbersome government affairs, and worked hard for the future of the royal court.
He was so calm that Bi Suo couldn’t see what he saw in Li Yaoying’s letter.
Bi Suo clenched his hands into fists.
Luo Jia didn’t even say goodbye to Li Yaoying.
If Li Yaoying sees Li Zhongqian and he really doesn’t set foot in the royal court anymore, wouldn’t Luo Jia never see her again in this life?
Bi Suo laughed at herself, “Fate, just now Wan Hu and the others had a big fight about how to deal with Bei Rong prisoners. Do you know what Wang is thinking?”
Yuanjue looked blank.
Bi Suo said with emotion: “If Princess Wen Zhao is here, she must be able to understand the king’s worries, and she can always solve the king…”
She can even make Luo Jia, who feels like water, smile.
If there is no such person in the world, that’s all, but there are, not only there, but also come to Luo Jia, get along with Luo Jia, and then leave…
How cruel.
…
On the same day, Tamaraga quickly dealt with several generals who had killed the captives indiscriminately, and the commotion in the army subsided.
The surrendered Bei Rong nobles were sent to the Asan Department to settle on the spot, and the Bei Rong slaves forced to be conscripted by the Bei Rong were also released and returned to their respective tribes with them. The slaves couldn’t believe their ears, and were grateful. Before leaving, they worshipped in the direction of the holy city, chanted the Buddha’s name, and wept bitterly.
Tamaragarh did not close his eyes overnight. After handling the military affairs, he ordered Mobida to continue chasing the remnants of the Wakhan Khan, and led his army back to the holy city. Before the expedition, he had made arrangements. Even if the first few lines of defense collapsed, the Holy City could not be easily breached. However, the crisis has not been resolved and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. He must rush back to the Holy City to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
On the second day after the war, the army was slightly rectified, divided into the front army and the rear army, immediately set off and rushed back to the capital.
The front armies were all light horses, abandoning their luggage, and galloping all the way. The soldiers ate and drank on horseback. They drove non-stop for a few days, bypassing the bustling towns, and rushed to the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Tamara Gha sent scouts to inquire about the news. .
Half an hour later, the scout returned with the general Ge Lu who was ordered to ambush here.
Ge Lu clasped his fist and said: “The Regent, we have trapped Haidu Aling and his thousands of elites in the river valley. You have previously told us not to fight head-to-head with Haidu Aling, as long as he is trapped, we will wait. These days, keeping in mind the instructions of the regent, guarding all exits, Haidu Aling and the others have not shown up for several days.”
Previously, the ancient Sultan ordered several thousands of soldiers to lay in ambush under the snow-capped mountains. Everyone was puzzled: the vast snow-capped mountains, not even the birds, could only occasionally glimpse the goshawk, and no one could ever climb over. Xueshan directly attacked the holy city, and the regent asked them to set up an ambush here. Isn’t it a waste of troops?
Everyone was puzzled. They still dug trenches and traps as instructed, arranged barricades to avoid horses, buffed the bow/ballista several times a day, sent scouts to patrol every other hour, and paid attention to the movements of the eagle at any time. I have been busy for a period of time like this. Not to mention the northern army. I didn’t even see a leopard. I was complaining about the regent’s extra effort. Climbed down between the cliffs.
Ge Lu was shocked, remembering the ancient instructions of the Sudan, calmed down, summoned the men and horses, united with a few other ambushes, after Haidu Aling relaxed his vigilance and rushed down the hillside, he launched a surprise attack with a bow|crossbow formation. Aling’s five thousand elite soldiers blocked their waist and forced them to retreat into the valley.
Haidu Aling did not expect that there would be an ambush here, crossing the river where the ice-cold glacial melt water converged in an embarrassing manner. Ge Lu did not chase him, retreat to the camp, hold on to the camp, and firmly hold the line of defense.
In the next few days, Haidu Aling tried to break through the defense line from time to time, and sometimes sent loud-sounding soldiers to insult the Buddha with the intention of provoking. Ge Lu and the others remembered Sultan Gu’s warning and could not hold on.
They were well prepared, and sufficient food, clothing, and coal fire. Haidu Aling launched a surprise attack, over the greater the mountain, there was no supply at all, and there was no horse, so there was no way to replenish physical strength with horse blood. Haidu Aling knew that the chances of winning were not high, and did not dare to easily break through. There has been no movement these days.
Ge Lu and the others are well aware of the cunningness of Haidu Aling, and they dare not take it lightly and still stick to it.
After listening to the military situation reported by him, Tamaraga frowned slightly, summoned several other ambush generals, sent several Qingqi scouts, and asked them to ascertain the location of Haidu Aling.
The generals arrived one after another, saying that Haidu Aling did not dare to appear recently. When soldiers patrolled, they often found the bones of wild beasts near the camp. They should have been hunted by Haidu Aling. They had no supplies and could only hunt mountain leopards. Wild wolf.
Ge Lu expressed his guess: “King Regent, will Haidu Aling run over the snow-capped mountains again?”
Tamara Gha shook his head: “The way down the mountain may not be the same way back, and they have no supplies, Haidu Aling can’t climb the mountains and mountains…”
He looked around.
“Haidu Aling is not in the river valley.”
Everyone was shocked and said: “Impossible, I will wait forever to hold on, unless Haidu Aling can fly out with wings, otherwise he will not be able to escape from under our noses!”
As soon as the voice fell, horses hooves out of the account, several scouts rushed back to the camp, holding a rope in both hands: “The Regent, I found this on the edge of the cliff!”
Tamaraga took a look at Fate Jue, Fate Jue understood, pulled out her saber, and slashed down the rope fiercely.
There was a crisp sound, sparks shot out, and the blade left only a small notch in the rope.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“This is a special rope.” Tamaraga picked up the rope and looked at it carefully. “Haidu Aling used the rope to temporarily build a rope bridge on the edge of the cliff.”
Everyone looked at each other, so Haidu Aling had already run away unconsciously? He doesn’t have wings, but they will build bridges.
Ge Lu was full of regret and stomped his feet with anger: “I knew I would chase it out…”
Tamara Gaya said: “Your task is to stick to it and focus on the holy city.”
Everyone hurriedly responded in unison, feeling a little better.
Tamara Gha asked the scout: “Where does the other side of the cliff lead? Is there a tribe nearby?”
The scout replied: “Across the cliff is the desert, which is off the beaten track. A few hundred miles to the south, there is a small oasis, Huluzhou. The tribes living there are Turkic people.”
Huluzhou is a small tribe, because their whole oasis is shaped like a gourd, so it is called Huluzhou.
Bi Suo’s eyelids jumped straight, and there was a chill on the soles of his feet, and he looked at Tamaraga.
Tamara Gha did not speak, her bushy eyelashes trembled a few times.
Going south from Huluzhou is Gaochang.
Li Yaoying should be in Gaochang.
…
When Ge Lu reported his military situation to Tamara Gha, Haidu Aling took his hungry, green-eyed subordinates through the barren desert, passing by a small tribe, killing all the men, having a good meal, and raising Enough spirit.
The subordinates asked Haidu Aling if they should go to Shahaidao to meet Wakhan Khan.
Haidu Aling looked in the direction of Sam Valley, pondered for a moment, the eagle eyes shone with golden light under the sunlight, and decisively shook his head: “We encountered an ambush before we got close to the holy city. The Buddha was prepared long ago, and the battle is fierce. Less, we can’t go to death anymore.”
He is grateful to Wakhan Khan, but he will not die for Wakhan Khan.
The subordinates said blankly: “Then where are we going now?”
Haidu A Ling squinted his eyes: “The sky is high and the ocean is wide…we can go anywhere.”
The subordinate looked at each other, drew out his saber, raised his hands flat, and knelt at his feet: “Prince, you are loyal to the profuse, and you have done your kindness, and you have lost the profuse. He is not the opponent of the Buddha. We need a wise leader, and Not a weak old wolf!”
Haidu Aling glanced around, drew his sword and pointed straight.
Wakhan Khan was defeated, Bei Rong now has no leader, and the time for his rise has finally come.
