The most unlucky crossing in history

It's already February, and the cold wind from the northwest is still stabbing people like a knife. Xie Wenyuan was wearing a black velvet robe, and he just approached the tent for discussion, and he could hear the voices of discussions in the tent.

Among them, Wu Qu's rough voice is the most prominent.

"What is the meaning of the emperor ordering the prime minister to come to the army? The imperial decree says that he is a counselor, but how can he send a counselor with an official position half a rank higher than the general? Listen to a civil servant and talk about military affairs on paper?"

Jiang Hupin was originally an old acquaintance with Xie Wenyuan. Hearing this, he was displeased and said, "So what about the civil servants? General Wu has forgotten why Jieyun won the victory in December?"

In the battle of Jieyun, Wu Ju used the secret letter sent by Beijing to lure the enemy into the Jieyun Valley, and then ambush the soldiers to catch turtles. It was also this time that the Northwest Army was able to breathe under the heavy pressure of the two countries.

The letter was issued by the emperor's order. In the letter, the number of ambushes, the location, time, and attack strategy of the enemy were all clearly calculated. It revealed that the planner was familiar with Jieyun and other places. I am afraid that even General Xie It is also incomparable.Although it was not revealed which one of the imperial court proposed this strategy, everyone who is familiar with Xie Wenyuan can see that this must be Xie Wenyuan's handwriting. When Xie Wenyuan was with the army, Zhang Pan was the first to go Jieyun of the garrison.

Wu Ju didn't know about the past, so he snorted and said, "What does this have to do with the prime minister? Not only the prime minister is in the court, but also old general Xie. From my point of view, this plan must have been made by old general Xie." .”

Zhang Hong glanced at Wu Qu and didn't speak.

"I don't know who proposed Jieyun's strategy, but the prime minister is indeed the solution to the city's turmoil." Although Zhen Xianke said he was from Tan Yuanyong, he didn't hide these things.

Wu Ju, who heard this for the first time, opened his eyes wide and was surprised: "W-what?!"

Zhen Xianke said: "There must be a reason for the emperor to let the prime minister come to the northwest."

Wu Qu frowned. Based on his understanding of civil servants, which one is not arrogant and arrogant?The mouth is full of talk about "devious" tactics that can "use four or two thousand catties" and can be used as a thousand, but only talk on paper.

The strategy for the battle of the city of Pingcheng did not have any trace of the roundabout strategy of the literati at all. The method of attacking in the opposite direction was so decisive that it was really not something that the literati could propose.

Wu Yu still didn't believe it.

He thought for a while and said, "Even if it's true, well, let me ask you, if the prime minister and the general disagree on the battlefield, how should we decide? Do we listen to the general or the prime minister?"

"Of course I listen to the general."

It was Xie Wenyuan who spoke. He lifted the curtain of the camp tent and walked into the discussion tent.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked together, only to see that Xie Wenyuan took off his velvet robe and handed it to the attendant on one side, then walked to the sand table, and said: "The Holy Majesty means that from today onwards, I will be with Zhen You are just a counselor like a lord, not a first-rank minister, and you don’t need to be polite. General Wu, tell me, the army does not follow the general’s orders, and the strategy of the battle is not determined by the general, so what do you want to do?”

Wu Ju's face froze when he was blocked by these words, his neck blushed, and he turned his head away unwilling to look at Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan had heard that Wu Qu had a quick temper, he would say whatever he had, and he was somewhat disobedient to the command of the general. He had been guarding the border from Dazhu to the severe cold in the north all year round. Xiaojie's temperament is quite respected by his soldiers.

Knowing that now is not the time to let Wu Ju create a gap with him and confront him, Xie Wenyuan didn't say any more.

It was too late yesterday to greet Jiang Hupin and others. Before Xie Wenzhuo arrived at the camp, Xie Wenyuan and some old acquaintances greeted him briefly, and waited for Xie Wenzhuo to change the wound gauze and Bai Lan arrived The camp tent, the discussion officially began.

Although he knew a lot about the war in Beijing and China before, it was not as comprehensive. When he heard that Shendu had recently moved to Jiahe City in the northeast of the city, Xie Wenyuan opened his mouth.

"Judging from the previous battles, when confronting Uighurs and Shendu, they were defeated several times. One of the reasons is that the soldiers did not understand the formation of Shendu's troops. They were in a stalemate with Uighurs, so they were suddenly defeated by Shendu. Attacks without rules are disrupted, and if the formation is disordered, it will naturally be impossible to win."

Jiang Hupin: "I fought against Shen Du in Luoyan City, and I really couldn't figure out their formation."

Xie Wenyuan smiled when he heard this: "Shen Du doesn't have formations, how can General Jiang see through?"

Jiang Hupin was startled when he heard that.

Xie Wenyuan continued: "When I was young, I went to Shendu with Old General Xie. At that time, it was for the exchange of armies between the two countries. Afterwards, Old General Xie said: Shendu's soldiers are not good at fighting, but Good at stirring things up." asked Xie

Yuan looked at Jiang Hupin, and said: "Now the Uighurs are fighting, and Shen Shendu is stirring up the troubles nearby, which makes people's thoughts confused and disordered. It's very troublesome. But even though it's troublesome, it's not impossible."

When Xie Wenzhuo, Jiang Hupin, Zhen Xianke and others heard this, they all looked at Xie Wenyuan.

"Since he is disturbingly disturbed, and the most urgent thing in the army now is to boost the morale of the army with a victory, it is better to beat him out of the night first."

As soon as Xie Wenyuan's words fell, everyone in the room was stunned and unable to speak, even Wu Yu who didn't want to see Xie Wenyuan just now looked over.

Xie Wenzhuo seemed to understand what Xie Wenyuan meant first, his eyes lit up, and he said: "At this moment, Shendu is in the northeast, and Uighur is in the southwest. On the surface, it looks like Yunqing and Pingcheng are facing enemies from both sides, but if you pick them out and see At this time, it is the easiest to cut off the connection between Uighur and Shendu!"

Zhang Hongying said: "Speaking of it, Shendu sent only 36 troops. In addition, the Northwest of Dazhu is not Shendu. The weather is very different. No matter how many Shendu soldiers will feel uncomfortable, the combat power will be greatly reduced. If the southwest can block the Uighurs , It should be much easier to attack Shendu alone. Now there are 26 troops stationed in Yunqing and Pingcheng, and [-] troops will be sent to raid Shendu, and the remaining [-] will be able to defend the Piecheng pass?"

It's just that Jiang Hupin frowned slightly when he heard this: "It's just that Shen Du's general's tactics are a bit troublesome."

Xie Wenyuan heard it, and asked, "Is the general like Tagor?"

Jiang Hupin nodded: "Yes, I have fought against him many times. He seems to know the strategy of using troops very well, but he marches in a disorderly manner, which is really disturbing."

Wu Ju heard this, and shouted: "General Jiang, what is the meaning of this? Are you afraid that you will not be able to save people? If so, then let me go and meet this Tagor for a while!"

Xie Wenyuan looked at Wu Qu, and said: "If you want to form a pincer attack with the Uyghur, you must act alone. Tagor is very alert. You must know that the terrain of Jiahe City is uneven and there are many mountains. The reason why you hide It was not without reason that he went there. He must know that the generals in the army are not good at mountain warfare. If he went there rashly, he might lose the advantage of our army. Therefore, not only General Jiang, but also General Wu should not go there. "

Wu Qu frowned: "Then what else can I do!"

"Several generals are not good at fighting in mountains and forests, but mountain warfare happens to be a general's strength." Xie Wenyuan smiled, "Before coming to the city, the Holy Majesty has issued an order

Send the Southwest Guard General Wei Hechu to the Northwest, and he will reach the camp in the city in a few days. "

Xie Wenzhuo laughed, "God helped Tagor hide in the mountains."

On the fifth day of February, Wei Hechu led [-] soldiers from the southwest to the northwest. After understanding the agreed strategy, he asked the accompanying deputy general to lead the troops to visit Jiahe for [-] nights that night.

On the eighth day of February, Wei Hechu led [-] soldiers from the southwest, and [-] soldiers from the northwest attacked the Shendu army stationed in Jiahe City at night.

In the battle of the mountains, Wei Hechu besieged Shendu's army in the mountains to hit the surface.

The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy camps and harasses, the enemy tires and fights, and the enemy retreats and pursues. They fought in a way that was completely different from the plain battlefield, making Tagor very angry and helpless, and there was no way to escape.

During this time, Uighur knew the strategy of the Northwest Army and attacked Pingcheng frantically. Jiang Hupin Bailan and others followed Xie Wenyuan's plan, pretending to be defeated and retreating to Yunqing, while Wu Qu and Zhang Hong led the army to lie in ambush on the bank of the West River in Pingcheng.

On the seventh day of March, Shendu, who had been trapped in the mountains for nearly a month, was unable to surrender, and Wei Hechu took [-] prisoners.

The [-] soldiers defeated the [-] Shendu army, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

On March 13th, when the Uighurs attacked Yunqing City, Xie Wenzhuo, who had recovered a lot, led tens of thousands of soldiers to cross the cold water at night, and went straight to Yunqing, trapping [-] Uighur troops in Yunqing City, tens of thousands of arrows in an instant It fell from the sky like rain.

In this battle, the Northwest Army won a complete victory.After one night's discussion among the army, they took advantage of Xie Wenyuan's plan, took advantage of the victory and pursued, took back the eight occupied cities, and forced the Uighur army back to the city of Bolai.

It's just that during the first battle of Borai, the Uyghur king Ye Hezhe led [-] troops from the Uighur capital to Borai.

Ye Hezhe's march was treacherous and fierce, and he mentioned that he rushed to the front of the battle to directly confront Xie Wenzhuo and Jiang Hupin.

People clamored and horses neighed.Xie Wenzhuo, who faced Ye Hezhe on the battlefield again after two years, was red-eyed. After Jiang Hupin was defeated, he rode up on the horse. After dozens of rounds of fighting, he, who had already been stained with blood, raised his long gun and died. When he was about to pierce Ye Hezhe's battle armor, Ye Hezhe unexpectedly jumped off his horse with an evil smile on his lips...

Jiang Hupin nearby opened his eyes wide, covered the knife wound on his waist, and rushed straight up. When Ye Hezhe's knife was about to hit Xie Wenzhuo's neck, he pulled Xie Wenzhuo off the horse. , Ye Hezhe's knife fell, but it still hit Xie Wenzhuo's right arm.

After the guards rushed up, Jiang Hupin ordered Xie Wenzhuo to protect him and retreated. He shouted sharply: "Retreat!!"

March 29

, General Xie Wenzhuo, who was unconscious, covered in blood, was sent to the North Army Camp in Bolai City.

The two armies faced off again.

It was already the first day of April when Xie Wenzhuo woke up. In addition to the military doctor who changed his wound medicine, there were Xie Wenyuan, Wu Qu, Bai Lan, and Zhen Xianke in the camp.

When he woke up at that time, he heard that Ye Hezhe was safe and sound. When the two armies were fighting, he dragged his sick body and struggled to get up. Time to breathe! I can fight again!"

Seeing this, Xie Wenyuan frowned: "Fight again? You have injuries on your legs, waist, and arms. The military doctor said that if the knife was any heavier, your hand would be broken on the battlefield."

"What else can I do? General Jiang was seriously injured on the waist and now I don't know what's going on. Generals Wei and Wu also have injuries. I am a general. If I don't stand up now, who will come?! Just think of that leaf He Zhe is still there, so I can hardly sleep or eat!" Xie Wenzhuo stared at a pair of red eyes, he stood up, dragged his sick leg, walked to the weapon rack and took down Xie's house with his still intact left hand. A long gun passed down from generation to generation.

Wu Ju also injured his back during the battle, and he couldn't bear to step forward to stop him when he saw it, but he didn't know that Xie Wenyuan was one step ahead of him, and walked up to Xie Wenzhuo.

Xie Wenyuan said coldly: "You look like this and want to fight again?"

As he said, Xie Wenyuan suddenly grabbed the long gun in Xie Wenzhuo's hand. Seeing this, Xie Wenzhuo clenched the long gun tightly to block and dodge, but before Xie Wenzhuo could make a move, Xie Wenyuan snapped his wrist In an instant, the gun in Xie Wenzhuo's hand fell into Xie Wenyuan's hand.

Xie Wenyuan looked down at Xie Wenzhuo who was looking at him in amazement, and said lightly: "With this ability, you still dare to fight Ye Hezhe on the battlefield?"

After the words were finished, he held the long gun in one hand, and swung it out mercilessly, the long gun hit Xie Wenzhuo hard on the bend of his leg.

Before Wu Ju and Zhen Xianke could recover from the fact that Xie Wenyuan snatched the weapon from Xie Wenzhuo so easily, Xie Wenzhuo fell to his knees with a plop because of the pain.

Xie Wenyuan looked at Xie Wenzhuo who was staring at him stupidly, frowned slightly, and said again: "What else do you want to fight? What do you want to fight?"

Xie Wenzhuo's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said loudly: "Otherwise, what else can I do?! As soon as I see Ye Hezhe, I remember that he used a knife in front of me two years ago.

The sword piercing the general's chest!As long as I see him, I can't forget General Zhang Pan's shattered bones!If the people of the Xie family don't fight, whoever fights! "

Seeing this situation, Bai Lan whispered a few words to the two adults who were also stunned, and then left the tent with Wu Qu and Zhen Xianke.

Xie Wenyuanjian sighed slightly, then leaned over and lifted him up to sit in front of the bed.

He looked at Xie Wenzhuo who was not yet in his twenties. Although he didn't look like a child anymore, he still looked like a teenager. He smiled slightly and said, "There is me."

Xie Wenzhuo suddenly raised his head to look at Xie Wenyuan, tears fell instantly, he suddenly remembered that Xie Wenyuan taught him martial arts by Xie Wenyuan himself when Xie Cheng was outside when he was young, although Xie Wenyuan was strict, but He is also very considerate of him, he actually likes to follow this elder brother who is highly skilled in martial arts.It's just that Xie Wenyuan left the mansion for some unknown reason, and suddenly lost contact, until the time we met again, he was like a stranger, speechless.

Xie Wenzhuo wept hoarsely: "Brother..."
