Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After Cheng Erniu finished speaking, Pang Feihu, Ruan Laosan, Zhang Xiaoqi and others drew out their horizontal knives one after another and presented them to Guo Ye. As expected, they were full of gaps and were all discarded.

Although Gan Zhushou didn't say a word, he put the Hengdao in front of Guo Ye's desk. Such conduct?

The back of this guy's horizontal knife is intact, but the extremely sharp blade is too frightening.The smooth and sharp blades turned up and rolled up, and they were so scrapped that they could no longer be scrapped, and became a piece of scrap iron.

If the few leaders are like this, three thousand Longxi soldiers can be imagined.

Fatty Zhu, the logistics chief steward, had a bitter expression on his face, and he shouted at Guo Ye and the others aggrievedly: "Brother, our Longxi Army doesn't have much money to buy new knives. Old Zhu really has no spare money."

Guan Jiujiu stood up, shaking his feather fan, and said: "The student just took a few entourages and walked through Ali Tucheng. Hey, don't look like it's as big as our Longxi, it's so poor that it's a jingle. There are no shops. There are no restaurants, no markets, not even a place where prostitutes drink flower wine and listen to ditties."

Speaking of this, he threw the chicken feather fan on the coffee table on the right hand full of complaints, and said with a groan: "Oh, it seems that we have been busy for nothing. This Alitu City is basically a deserted city, a dead city. No wonder There are only [-] defenders, and there is no such thing as Lao Shizi, a descendant of the Yang family who was a remnant of the Sui Dynasty."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Fatty Zhu stood firmly on Guan Jiujiu's side this time, feeling that Brother Guo's success in attacking the city was too great.

However, Guo Ye overturned everyone's thoughts with just one sentence.

I just heard Guo Ye say: "We have to eat one bite at a time. If we don't take Ali Tucheng, how can we take Tuva City step by step? The barrenness of Ali Tucheng has long been expected. In the city of Tuva, there is also Yang's racecourse. If we can win Ali Tucheng, then we have taken a big step towards success."

Guan Jiujiu still complained a little, and muttered in a low voice: "Little brother, in order to win such a poor and clinking dead city, we lost nearly five or six hundred Longxi Erlang miles."

"What? Lost five or six hundred soldiers?"

Guo Ye was shocked when he heard this.

Some looked at Guan Jiujiu in disbelief, and then looked around at everyone. I really didn't expect the loss rate to be so high.

Whether it was Guan Jiujiu, Cheng Erniu, Pang Feihu and others, they all nodded silently and answered Guo Ye's question in the affirmative.

Grass his grandma's,

Six hundred alive and kicking lives are gone, even though they know that war always involves bloodshed and death.However, due to emotion and reason, Guo Ye still couldn't accept it.

After all, these are all the sons he brought out from the middle of Sichuan. Although they have never met each other, they all call themselves Brother Guo at any rate.

Three thousand soldiers lost 600 people in just one battle, shit!

boom!

Guo Ye slammed his fist hard on the huanghuali wood desk, making it creak.

But soon, he who has been in the top position for a long time became more and more aware of his emotions and anger, so he swallowed the sadness in his heart.

With tenacity in his eyes, he said: "600 people exchange for a city, it is worth it! Although Ali Tucheng is barren and seems to have no tricks, it is better than the superior location. As long as a little management, brother, I firmly believe that he will It will become a key fortress at the junction of our Great Tang Dynasty and Tubo, hmph, when the time comes to take Tuva City and connect it together, are you afraid that it will not prosper?"

At this time, Guo Ye had already had thousands of ideas in his mind, and all of them learned from the experience and ideas of later generations, and he was confident that Ali Tucheng would flourish, making it a prosperous and crucial landscape on the border of Tubo. .

Crisis and opportunity, although separated by a thin line, are always connected.

As soon as he heard that there was a lot of tricks to do and a large sum of money in the future, Fatty Zhu immediately swept away the frowning face just now, his expression turned cloudy, and he asked anxiously: "Brother, how do you think you can get Ali Tucheng?" It’s so prosperous? It’s fucking useless for such a big city to be abandoned here.”

Everyone is also very curious about what little brother Guo is capable of turning waste into treasure.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ye smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. Do you think everything will be fine if you take Alitu City? It is estimated that the remnants of the Sui Dynasty in Tuva City have already started to move towards Alitu City. The city swooped in."

After whetting his appetite, he threw another heavy cannonball and said in a deep voice, "If you're unlucky, even the Tubo side may get involved in this matter. Now, let's save our lives first, the only thing we can do is to keep Ali Tucheng in our hands." , until the reinforcements that Kang Bao calls for help arrive, that is the imminent thing!"

After hearing this, everyone became nervous, especially Guan Jiujiu, who kept muttering: "Yes, yes, it's my little brother who can understand the priorities!"

clap clap~~

Guo Ye suddenly struck the knot, just as an encouragement to everyone, and said loudly: "Don't do what he thinks now, the enemy army will arrive in no time, come, let's discuss first, how to fight this difficult and long-lasting defense battle of Ali Tucheng! "

"Here!!!"

Unite as one, shout loudly.

Chapter 229 General Yang

Guo Ye temporarily used the guard mansion of the dead ghost Wei Mu as a temporary tent, discussed several times with his subordinates, and made arrangements and arrangements.

After half an hour,

Guo Ye asked everyone to leave the general's mansion one after another, each carrying out their duties, leaving only Guan Jiujiu and Fatty Zhu behind.

Although the two were the brains of Guo Ye, they didn't understand military affairs, so when Guo Ye arranged for Pang Feihu and others to deploy their defenses, they didn't interrupt a word.

However, Guan and Zhu do not deal with each other, but they both have a common characteristic, that is, they are respectful and cautious. To put it harshly, they are a little cautious and timid.

After Pang Feihu and the others were far away, Fatty Zhu finally couldn't bear the silence, and said first, "Brother, although Lao Zhu only cares about money and food, he has something to say, so I hope you will bear with me."

Guo Ye had just finished laying out the defense of Ali Tucheng, and his mood was at a time when he was relieved. Hearing that Fatty Zhu was imitating Guan Jiujiu's rhetoric, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "When did Lao Zhu start talking like this? Just say what you have to say, and don't engage in such nonsense."

Guan Jiujiu who was at the side originally heard Fatty Zhu's words in a wrong tone, but was awakened by Guo Ye's touch, so it was so.

This dead fat man has no ink, and he also learned how to speak in such a gentle way. He couldn't help but glanced at him with disdain, and the chicken feathers in his hands fluttered violently.

I can't express my pride.

Fatty Zhu chuckled, regained his original temper, and said: "Then old Zhu is outspoken. Well, our [-] Longxi Army lost a lot in this attack. Just now, my brother put all his troops on Alitu City again. The main gate, and only some of the wounded soldiers were scattered among the other three gates, Lao Zhu doesn't understand why the younger brother is so risky?"

When Guo Ye heard this, he sighed in disappointment, after all, Fatty Zhu is only good at managing money and food, and his ability in military affairs is almost meaningless.

He knew in his heart that in the final analysis, Zhu Fatty still hoped that he could withdraw his troops in time, continue to go north to Turkic, and abandon this barren and unprofitable Alitu City.

However, is Ali Tucheng really worthless?

Obviously, Guo Ye himself knows better than anyone else that Ali Tucheng will play a vital role in the next few years.

Not to mention anything else, it is of great strategic significance just to say that Ali Tucheng is close to the border of Tubo.

Perhaps, under the premise of chance, I can connect Alitu City and Tuva City into one, and build Datang's bridgehead on the Tubo border, which is not impossible.

It's a pity that Fatty Zhu doesn't understand.

Immediately, Guo Ye just replied indifferently: "Old Zhu, just take care of your own affairs. As for the importance of Ali Tucheng, you will know in the future. And my little brother, I deliberately sent all the living people of the Longxi Army. The troops are gathered at the east gate, you should be clear about this, Guan Shuban, right?"

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Guan Jiujiu who had been smugly waving his feather fan.

Guan Jiujiu put away the chicken feather fan with a whimper, and said with a serious expression: "Clearly, the student is clear about the intentions of Master Bingsi. As the so-called false and true, true and false, according to the student's previous visits, Tuva City and Ali Tucheng is nearly [-] miles apart. The descendant of the Yang family in Tuva City wants to rush to rescue Ali Tucheng at the fastest speed, hehe, he has to take a shortcut. As for the end of this shortcut, it is the main entrance of Ali Tucheng, so, If they want to attack by force, they will definitely attack the main gate by force, it is impossible to go far and take a detour to capture the other three gates, isn't that right, Commander-in-Chief?"

"Master Bingsi gathered all the troops at the main gate alone, just to create an illusion, making him mistakenly believe that we have more than two thousand troops at the main gate alone, and there must be follow-up troops in the city. In this way, the reinforcements in Tuva City will not Dare to act rashly. It just bought time for us to wait for the reinforcements that Colonel Kang requested, does that mean, Master Military Commander?"

Guo Ye nodded, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "It hits the nail on the head, it's not bad at all!"

As soon as the praise fell, Guan Jiujiu was proud again, stood up slightly and bowed humbly to Guo Ye, repeatedly saying that he was not worthy of it, and praised it absurdly.

However, after the humility was over, Guan Jiujiu also expressed his hidden worries: "My lord, even so, the students still do not agree to stick to Ali Tucheng."
