Tang Dynasty Never Night

When Li Xian received the news, he called Gao Kan over, wanting to find out what was going on. Is Dashi trying to tear his face apart?

When Gao Kan came over, he frowned so much that he could catch flies. Their troops here can fight against Sassan Persia, but they can’t fight Dashi. If Dashi really goes crazy and attacks them like last time, they... can only Back off and wait for reinforcements.

Li Xian asked while writing the distress letter, "What's going on with Dashi? What's going on with them? We didn't beat them."

Gao Kan had a bitter face: "My lord, that...our people...accidentally occupied Basra."

Li Xian's subordinates paused, and the memorial that was about to be written was immediately destroyed: wtf?

Gao Kan saw Li Xian put down his brush and looked like I'll beat you if you don't speak clearly, so he said bitterly: "The vanguard group was too active before, and the remnants of Sassanid Persia went to Basra in Dashi territory The border between Sassanid Persia and Dashi has been too blurred due to the previous wars, and the vanguard group didn't notice it for a while..."

Li Xian wiped his face tired and sat behind the desk, thinking about how to write a distress letter so that he would not appear to be so lacking.

"Although I said... that I can resist whatever happens, it doesn't mean that I can bear the consequences of provoking Dashi." Li Xian was about to cry, Dashi is now a mad dog, okay?Fighting non-stop, now they are fighting with the Byzantine Empire, they finally stopped provoking us, you just come here, I really owe you in my previous life qaq.

Gao Kan felt sorry for him, but he still dutifully said: "My lord, the only plan for now is to set up the defense line as soon as possible. The terrain of Basra is quite favorable and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

So you don't plan to throw up after eating, right?Li Xian was helpless, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, I'll go over and have a look."

Gao Kan suddenly turned pale with shock: "Marshal, Your Majesty, you absolutely must not, you can't go if a gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall."

Fighting against Dashi is not fighting against Persia, not to mention that they are exhausted, no matter what Gao Kan dares to let Li Xian pass.

Li Xian waved his hand: "At this time, I can't hide behind. The best thing to do now is to let Dashi not know about our strength, and drag the reinforcements over. Let's send out this memorial first."

Nima, what was supposed to be an invitation for credit turned into an apology, and a plea for help. The contrast was too great. Li Xian felt that if his heart hadn't been so strong, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

Gao Kan tried hard to persuade Li Xian: "Your Majesty, it's the same if I go."

Anyway, he can be regarded as a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, right?As long as Da Shi knows a little about Datang, it is impossible not to know his name, so it is enough for him to restrain Da Shi in the past.

Li Xian shook his head and insisted on his own thoughts: "Get ready to go."

At that moment, Gao Kan and Li Zhi's moods were unprecedentedly the same - all bad boys should be locked up and beaten!However, the only people in this world who can beat Li Xian up are the supreme couple, so Gao Kan can only pack his things in fear and prepare to leave with Li Xian.

When Li Zhi received this memorial, it happened that Xue Rengui had just been transferred for two days. At first, Li Xian thought that the center might be angry when he saw this memorial, but Li Zhi was not angry. It's really normal to see neighbors or something. Normally, the winning side would like to apologize, quit the occupied town, and then both parties will act as if nothing happened.

If they don't make an apology, then the two sides will fight. Of course, it's like Datang and Dashi's situation where the road between enemies is narrow, so don't say anything, just fight. I guess both sides are waiting for a reason to fight each other.

It happened to let Xue Rengui and Zheng Qi pass by, and all the previous preparations came in handy. Both Xue Rengui and Zheng Qi were eager to fight, but Xue Rengui was preparing to go to the battlefield to gain military merits, and Zheng Qi was planning... to deal with the bears.

After he went back, he had to report to Mrs. Yang. After hearing this, Mrs. Yang said: "In this case, why don't you bring something to the king? The king may have suffered a lot."

Zheng Qi, who was originally angry, lost all his anger when he heard Yang's words. Yes, this brat may have suffered a lot over there, and he knew Li Xian's habits very well. It wasn't that when it was extremely urgent, he couldn't have called for help so simply and resolutely.

What's more, the military camp is probably not a good place to deal with him. There is no right time, place and people, so we can only let things go.

Li Xian soon received the information, and he was relieved when he knew that Xue Rengui led the troops. However, when he saw that Zheng Qi was the lieutenant general, Li Xian's chrysanthemum tightened suddenly, and his whole body went numb.

"I'll go!" Li Xian jumped up and said while circling: "Isn't Zheng Qingcheng the governor of Suzhou? Why did you let him be the deputy general again?"

Gao Kan looked at Li Xian with some puzzlement, didn't everyone say that King Ying and Andingbo were close friends?Why is the other party coming to help him not happy?Is it because of fear of danger?

Gao Kan was a little dizzy from being surrounded by Li Xian and quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, General Zheng's dispatch of troops by surprise is a rare help."

Li Xian glanced at him sadly, and the sadness in his heart was already flowing upstream: I just hope that Zheng Qi will not deal with him in front of everyone when he comes over.

Just when Li Xian was thinking about whether he could run away, the scouts he sent sent news back and forth, and this news was obviously not good news—Da Shi seemed to really intend to start a war with Datang again. The army is mobilized here, and the general Zadeyi of Dashi has already begun to call for battle. It is said that there are 20 troops.

After hearing this, Li Xian took a deep breath, and immediately threw aside all the things he had just thought about. The more important thing now is obviously how to keep the 20 troops out of Basra!

To be honest, even if there is a tiger squat cannon, Li Xian and the others will not take advantage when the opponent has an advantage in numbers. After all, it will take time for the tiger squat cannon to refill the shells, not to mention that this time he came out with two tiger squat cannons. Cannon—just to hit Sassanid Persia. If it wasn't for Li Zhi taking care of him, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry would dare to give him only a cannon!

Now you want to rely on two tiger squat guns and less than 20 soldiers to block the opponent's 15 troops, even if the opponent is bragging about [-], right?Li Xian's head was getting bigger. After arriving in Basra, Li Xian found that Basra was almost in ruins - when the Sassanid Persian people fled here, the Dashi civilians who lived here resisted, but they were killed by Sasanian. The Persian army was slaughtered, and then Datang's army chased here and killed all the Sasanian Persian people.

Compared with the city of Tang Dynasty, this city is still relatively dilapidated. It is impossible for the whole town to arrange tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. More than half of the people must be stationed outside the city. Li Xian took a picture after walking around the city. Head, turned to Gao Kan and said: "How about we give them an empty city plan?"

Gao Kan's legs softened and he almost knelt down to Li Xian: "Does Your Majesty know Zadeyi very well?"

Back then Zhuge Kongming used the empty city strategy because he knew that Sima Yi was suspicious by nature. What if Zadeyi and Sima Yi were two different kinds of people?He barged in carelessly, wouldn't we all suffer?

Li Xian chuckled and said, "I have my own plan. If I stay here, it is enough for General Gao to leave me 3000 people. You can take the rest and garrison them outside the city."

Gao Kan really knelt this time: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

At this time, Gao Kan really wished that Li Xian was a puppet. Gao Kan was confident that he could drag Dashi's army until the reinforcements arrived, even if he didn't take risks. If Li Xian was only here to gain military merit, he could completely ignore Li Xian. Order, but now... don't say that Li Xian has the aura of defeating Tubo, just because he found the oasis, now the whole army can't wait to work for him, okay?

So when Gao Kan faced Li Xian, he could only persuade him, and he couldn't do anything else.

Li Xian quickly helped him up: "General Gao, don't worry, I have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, and I will never risk my life."

After Gao Kan heard it, he was a little bit dumbfounded. Greed for life and fear of death is not a good word, and he has never seen it used on himself!However, up to now, he could only follow Li Xian's orders.

So when Zadei came to attack Basra three days later, he saw a beautifully decorated young man in purple sitting in a newly built arrow tower with his eyes closed, two guards behind him, a table in front of him, and a huge statue The incense burner was placed on the table, and the three thick agarwoods in the incense burner were half-burned, and Li Xian's fair and handsome face was faintly visible in the cigarette smoke.And the city gate under the arrow tower was wide open, revealing the dilapidated houses and deserted streets inside.

Zadei still knows Datang quite well, and he has been an opponent for so long, and he doesn’t know if he doesn’t understand. He knows that not everyone can wear purple clothes in Datang. One of the princes led the team, and the costumes and ages match, this must be that prince.

But... what's going on here?Zadei led his soldiers and horses to stop three hundred feet away from the city gate, but he didn't dare to go forward for a while. He and his subordinates analyzed it many times before, and they all felt that Basra occupies a high point, and the opponent would definitely fight to the death. Hold on, as long as you take down Basra, you can talk about the rest. Try to capture the opponent's generals alive before the arrival of the opponent's reinforcements, especially the prince.

In their speculation, the Tang army will definitely not give up Basra, so all of them are well prepared for this battle which must be very difficult.

However, the current situation is really beyond their expectations. The so-called empty city strategy has not been spread too widely. The big cannibal doesn't understand what an empty city strategy is, but he knows that there must be demons when things go wrong.

The lieutenant beside Zadeyi came over and said, "General, the people of Tang are cunning, I'm afraid they are hiding in the house."

Zadeyi also thought so, so he pointed the spear in his hand at Li Xian and said in a very strange tone: "My boy, if you surrender early, I will spare your life."

Li Xian'an sat quietly on the arrow tower and turned a deaf ear, but his heart was filled with anger: Damn, can you hurry up if you retreat or hit you?I don't want to continue pretending, okay?

Li Xian feels that his actual actions have proved that it is not easy to pretend to be cosy, and he also wants to cosplay Zhuge Kongming, but... his cosplay is not just for showing off and taking pictures, he must have the real ability to do it, Helpless, Zheng Qi taught him the six arts of a gentleman, this piano... He still can't learn it, now it's all right, he can't even pretend to be forced, he can only put on such an inscrutable look, he is very tired, okay?

Zadeyi looked at Li Xian who was still as stable as Mount Tai and didn't hear it, he hesitated for a moment, he already knew Li Xian's record, the person who can wipe out Tubo, even if he looks very young, he must not be underestimated After all, Zadeyi was afraid that Li Xian would be deceitful, so he ordered the troops to retreat, and even retreated for more than ten miles.

"Your Majesty, you have already left." Gao Kan stood with Li Xian for a long time and was convinced, but the other party really retreated?

Li Xian opened his eyes and stood up slowly - don't wait, his legs are already numb.

After standing up, Li Xian looked down and thought for a while and said, "Let's arrange it according to what I said."

Gao Kan didn't resist this time, and first sent Li Xian to the only house in the city that looked better for him to rest, and then went to order the subordinates to work.

Was Li Xian paralyzed after he went back? To be honest, sometimes the court would be much longer than this time, but he never felt so tired. Of course, the main reason was that he was tired, although he tried his best to be extremely calm. , but the psychological pressure is actually very high. If you accidentally die, it will be over. Can the pressure not be too high?

But Dashi will definitely not let it go, maybe he will have to pretend again in the future, but fortunately he still has a backup, otherwise he will really die.

Li Xian rubbed his legs, looked at today's military newspaper and estimated Xue Rengui's itinerary, and found that they were walking very fast, and it would take four or five days to get here, but... Li Xian forget it After a while, they found that if they walked like this, they probably came from Moyan Shiqi. Obviously, they were lucky to bring a more reliable guide.

Four or five days, no matter how hard it is to survive these four or five days, Li Xian took a deep breath, tried to eat and drink enough to rest well, and continued to go to the arrow tower to pretend to be aggressive the next day.

He wasn't sure if Zadei would come over to call for battle, but he couldn't go there temporarily, could he?So he changed to sit and wait every day, but it was too painful to just sit there with his eyes closed. Li Xian simply started reading, and occasionally wrote. Of course, it was not something important, but it was just copying some poems. , the corners of Gao Kan's mouth twitched for a moment, if he didn't know that he was on the battlefield, he would have thought that His Highness was out to play.

Zadeyi's patience is obviously not particularly good. Li Xian originally thought that he could scare the opponent away for four or five times, so that Xue Rengui and the others could go over and clean up Zadeyi when they came, but this guy couldn't sit still after two days , directly led the troops over, saw that the city gate was wide open and did not hesitate to send people to attack directly.

At this time Li Xian was sitting on the arrow tower reading a book. After seeing Zadei's action, he could only sigh and put away the book, then stood up and took out a bow from under the table, bent the bow and set an arrow Standing motionless on the arrow tower with the tip of the arrow hanging down, he saw Zadei's vanguard suddenly making a loud noise and trembling when they entered the range of [-] feet from the city gate.

Li Xian stood on the arrow tower and watched the thick smoke billowing and howling. To be honest, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Gao Kan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, go back."

Zadei's side was already in a hurry by the bombardment of landmines. I have to say that although the method is very old-fashioned, it still works. The only difference is that Li Xian's method of luring the enemy is different.

After listening to Gao Kan's words, Li Xian saw that there was an intention to retreat and slowly let go of the bow and arrow in his hand. He suddenly felt that he was quite stupid. Basically, it was useless. He put down the bow and arrow in his hand, went down the arrow tower and returned to his residence. After calculating, he felt that he could still hold it for another two days.

It's just that what Li Xian didn't expect was that Zheng Qi was the first to arrive. Zheng Qi arrived in the middle of the night, and Li Xian was already asleep at that time. He arrived just in time for Gao Kan to patrol the camp. He breathed a sigh of relief when he came, and Zheng Qi's arrival meant that the reinforcements were not far away.

Zheng Qi didn't ask Gao Kan to wake up Li Xian, instead he went directly to see Li Xian, Gao Kan...cough cough, the generals who followed the expedition knew the relationship between King Ying and Uncle Anding, he thought about it He wanted to turn around and go to sleep after the people Zheng Qi brought had settled down.

After Zheng Qi arrived at Li Xian's room, he found that there was a luminous pearl hanging in Li Xian's room extravagantly. He leaned over and saw that the brat was sleeping on his back. If it wasn't for his neat clothes, he wouldn't believe it It's at war.

But... lost weight, lost a lot. Zheng Qi sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Li Xian's cheek. As a result, Li Xian, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly sat up.

Zheng Qi was taken aback by Li Xian's reaction, and when Li Xian looked at him with vigilant eyes, he whispered: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

After seeing Zheng Qi, the vigilance in Li Xian's eyes receded, he stared blankly at him for a long while before he said in a daze, "Qingcheng?"

Zheng Qi squeezed his chin and leaned over to kiss him and said with a low smile, "It's me, I'm here to help you."

Li Xian squeezed his thigh hard, grinned his teeth in pain, then happily rushed over to hug Zheng Qi and said, "Why did you arrive so soon? I thought it would take many days."

Zheng Qi put his arms around his waist and said with a smile, "If you don't come again, I don't know how much trouble you will cause."

Li Xian trembled: "I can explain, really qaq."

Zheng Qi touched his face and said: "It's too late, go to bed first, we'll talk about it later."

Li Xian quickly said: "No hurry, I want to tell you about the situation, by the way, where is Manager Xue? He hasn't arrived yet?"

"Well, I rushed here with the cavalry first. Manager Xue will arrive probably the day after tomorrow. Food and supplies need to be slower."

Li Xian nodded: "That's good, let me tell you that this time he is leading the army over there is Zadei, I haven't seen him before, have you heard of him?"

"No, he wasn't the one who led Dashi to attack Datang last time. Does this person have any characteristics?"

Li Xian scratched his head: "I don't know, I haven't played against him yet."

"Haven't fought? How is it possible?" Zheng Qi was a little strange: "He even sent people to plunder our food and grass, but he didn't touch your side?"

"What?" Li Xian was taken aback. "He sent people to plunder your food? How is that possible? I... my scouts didn't find it."

"Probably went around from another place. There are many mountains here and the terrain is complicated. It is not easy for you to fully grasp their whereabouts with limited soldiers and horses." Zheng Qi did not think that Li Obviously not doing well.

Li Xian frowned and asked, "The result?"

Zheng Qi took Li Xian to lie down and said: "We brought a lot of grain and grass this time, and I was worried that the Turks would sneak up on us halfway, so we found a team of people pretending to be a grain and grass supply team at the beginning, and the real grain and grass team sent people from here. The other side left, but unexpectedly the Turkic people did not come, but the cannibals did.”

But it doesn't matter, who is not in ambush anyway, all the people who came to Dashi were folded into Zheng Qi's hands, and Zheng Qi would not let people continue to pretend to be a grain and grass brigade. It is estimated that neither Turks nor Dashi will be robbed The idea of ​​plundering forage.

After hearing this, Li Xian also told about his situation in the past two days. Strictly speaking, he and Zadeyi really didn't fight much, and he didn't know the opponent's style, but he cheated the opponent without fighting, which still made Li Xian very happy of.

After hearing this, Zheng Qi kissed his forehead and said, "Good job, go to bed early."

At first, Zheng Qi thought it was Li Xian's provocation that provoked Dashi. After all, Li Xian had been talking about Dashi's great resources and what he wanted to occupy. Zheng Qi never had much confidence in Li Xian's integrity I hope that this guy is not a gentleman at all. After knowing the real reason, Zheng Qi is also speechless. This kind of thing... ahem, there are quite a lot. It has been set up, but it turned out that Sassan Persia was looking for death by himself. Li Xian's men beat up Dashi when they hit high. After all, Persia and Dashi don't have a clear border line, so it's normal to be careless.

When Zheng Qi came, Li Xian's heart was relieved, he hugged Zheng Qi and felt that he could finally sleep well.

As a result, while he was half asleep, there was a sudden commotion outside. After Li Xian was woken up, his body was depressed, and he heard someone report that there was a sneak attack from Dashi.

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows, put on his clothes, turned his head and patted Li Xian's head, and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to meet Zadei, you continue to sleep."

What are you going to sleep with? Who can sleep after all this trouble?Li Xian had no choice but to force his face to put on his clothes and follow him to have a look.As a result, as soon as they went out, they saw a fire in the northwest direction.
