Chapter 386 Why be afraid of the stubborn enemy
Dou Zhongjie forced himself to appear calm and less nervous.
In Ye Chang's tent, there are only him and a few generals who are not valued. Almost all the brave generals that Ye Chang admires are present, and they don't know where they went.
Should they make other plans aside, or have other plans?
Dou Zhongjie had this idea in his mind, and then he forced himself to suppress it. In this situation, he must not have any hesitation or other plans. He saw the fate of the Grolu people. This afternoon, the great cannibal pushed the Grolu people to the front line and died.
"Here you come." Someone said softly.
Dou Zhongjie straightened his chest to make his expression more serious, and then he saw Ye Chang and a group of generals hurried over.
"Zhongcheng, what is the matter of Gao Dadu..." Duan Xiushi, who was chasing Ye Chang behind him, asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as him, but when I report to the court, I must add a crime and blame him for shaking the morale of the army before the battle." Ye Chang sneered: "Now I can't care about him... I'll order him to be promoted."
The guard shouted, and the soldiers stood in a row, Ye Chang was in the middle and sat in the head coach's position. Dou Zhongjie thought of the two words he had just heard, and couldn't help but look at Ye Chang hesitantly.
What restless actions did Gao Xianzhi, who was under house arrest?
"Now you can tell everyone about the situation." Ye Chang took a breath and saw that everyone was quiet, he slowly said: "Tonight, we will decide the outcome."
All the generals were mentally prepared, so they were not surprised.
"Chief Zhongcheng is going to attack the camp?" Only Dou Zhongjie was shocked and asked quickly.
"how?"
"Ziyad is a famous general of the great food. His marching and formation have always been known for his caution. The Zhongcheng's plan to attack at night is naturally good, but Ziyad is cunning and cautious, and may not take advantage of the opportunity with me."
He was really worried that if Ye Chang went to attack the camp but was defeated by the cannibalism and returned in a crushing defeat, not only would Ye Chang's personal reputation be damaged, but his determination to stick to taxes to build the city this time would also be shaken.
"I'm very pleased that you can think of this." Ye Chang smiled and signaled him to return to his train, and then said: "However, today's night attack is inevitable, because we will face the Great Food Army that has no resistance."
"How is this possible?" Dou Zhongjie completely disbelief, but Ye Chang's actions just now made him dare not stand up and object.
In the Great Food Army, Ziad looked at Yuanen who was kneeling in front of him and smiled and said, "I asked you to go back. It was not because you wanted to punish you because of your unfavorable battle situation today. I also know your thoughts. You want to defeat the Chinese with your own hands to avenge your father and your country. But now I have more important things for you to do, food, supplies, and these need to be raised."
"Governor General, I can send someone to..."
"You haven't figured it out yet that the war with the Tang Dynasty may last for a long time. Originally, I thought that defeating Gao Xianzhi under the city of Talas could stabilize the border with the Tang Dynasty, but there was a Ye Chang in the Tang army. He made me unable to achieve full results, which made the war delay longer. In the west, the Byzantines involved too many of our troops and supplies, and I could not get any supplies from the Caliph, and it was difficult for my superiors to give me more supplies. Therefore, everything must be relied on your country. If the supplies cannot keep up, I will have to withdraw my troops. The coalition forces of the countries in the river will definitely disperse themselves and then give the Tang people the chance to defeat each other."
"Governor, I am forgiving, Dashi should turn its main energy to the East. Is that Byzantine Empire richer than China? As long as it conquers China, rely on the human and wealth of the Tang Dynasty, it will turn back to conquer Byzantium and spread the glory and reputation of the true god, this..."
"Enough, the Caliph's decision is not something you can talk nonsense." Ziad was a little tired of this far-loving prince, really couldn't see the situation: "Go to do your business well, if you still hope that the warriors of the true god will avenge you, do it."
At this time, Yuanen didn't dare to say anything, so he could only retreat. He left Ziyad's tent, and he stared blankly at the starry sky in the sky. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The man who can't do anything, I'm going to see that Dou Xuena."
To some extent, Dou Xuena was a hostage to Da Shi. In order to control him, Ziard placed him very close to him. Therefore, Dou Xuena's camp was not far from Ziard's camp. Yuan En didn't take much time to see the prince Bahan who was dazed in the fire.
Both of them were princes, and they happened to be princes from two small countries that triggered the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food. As soon as they met, they almost started fighting. Their entourage separated them, and that was it, they were still scolding each other continuously.
"Dou Xuena, what are your plans and your cunning and insidious father? I advise you to tell them honestly. This is your last chance. Otherwise, tomorrow, I will climb to the top of the Tax City City and cut you off..."
"Yuan Ye, your father's head has been hung in Chang'an for a long time."
"Don't be proud, I will find evidence of your father and son's conspiracy."
Afraid of disturbing Ziad, Yuanen finally had to leave. Dou Xuena didn't say anything this time, and stared at the fire blankly. After a while, he said to himself: "I hope that my father can have any conspiracy..."
"Does Your Highness really think so?" A guard beside him whispered.
"yes"
"Then, your highness would be better prepared for some response." The guard looked around, even his own people were a little far away. He leaned into Dou Xuena's ear and whispered.
Dou Xuena was probably the closest to Tang Dynasty among Dou Zhongjie's sons. He was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little excited. The guard was handed over to him by his father, and was a confidant in his father's confidant, and even more trusted than Alaya. There must be a reason for his words.
"What are my father's plans?" he also asked in a low voice.
"The king just asked me to tell Your Highness at the right time, that you must make all kinds of preparations and preparations
“Be prepared for all kinds of…
Dou Xuena's eyes suddenly lit up. He understood the deep meaning of his father's words. This was by no means a nonsense, but a reminder that unexpected changes might occur.
What else will happen? Is it a crushing defeat in the Tang Dynasty or... my father sent himself as a hostage, which was simply a scam?
If the Tang Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat, it seems that there is no need to explain "various changes" in this way.
Among the countries west of the Pamir Mountains, Bahan was more pro-Tang Dynasty, and Dou Xuena admired China even more. He had proposed to his father more than once that he would go to Chang'an to serve as the guard of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had been resistant to surrendering to Dashi. However, no matter how he persuaded his father, he could only act according to his words.
Now I find that it is possible to surrender to Dashi is just a scam. In that case, wouldn’t it mean that their father and son are helping the Tang Dynasty do something extremely dangerous?
At this moment, the guards staring at Yuan En leaving came in again. Dou Xuena suppressed his excitement and pretended not to hear anything. But one of the guards spoke, which scared him.
"Your Highness, go out and greet us quickly. General Ziad is here."
After staying for a while, Dou Xuena hurriedly got up and prepared to go out to greet him, but the curtain of the tent was lifted open, and two big players came in. Then, Ziad slowly walked in with a cloak.
"No, not bad, not bad," Ziad said slowly.
Dou Xuena was quite talented in language. He could understand the great verbal words that Ziad said, but he felt frightened and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"You father and son did a good job and handled it well," Ziad said again.
“Yes…yes…”
Dou Xuena's fearful look made Ziad both funny and angry when he saw Ziad's eyes.
Such a guy with courage dares to incite the war between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty? Compared to Prince Yuan'en of Shi Kingdom, this guy is much worse.
However, he still has the right effect now. The key to the battle between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty is the back of the country of Bahan.
"I heard that Yuan'en came to you, and you dealt well. You, like the Shi Kingdom, have been protected by our great caliph. I hope you can unite, not kill each other. You want land, population, and the Tang Dynasty has land population. I will lead you to take those people to take them away.
He didn't see through my father's other plans to settle the score.
Dou Xuena suddenly felt relaxed, and the heavy burden that began to be pressed on his head seemed to have disappeared in an instant
He bent down and saluted respectfully to Ziad: "General, we will not let you down."
"Well, have you ever seen Ye Chang when you were there? What kind of person is he?" Ziad asked again.
He didn't know that there was a saying in the ancient Chinese military tactics that one knew oneself and one's enemy would be defeated in a hundred battles, but he knew that understanding more of his opponents would play an important role in winning.
This made Dou Xuena stunned, and then Dou Xuena replied: "I have seen that general, but I don't know him, because he looks very busy and doesn't stop for a moment all day-oh, he is very energetic, and his life is very regular. Even if he goes out, he will trot and train his body in the barracks every morning. He also pays special attention to the sergeant..."
Ziad listened to what Dou Xuena said, and felt that a person who was gradually clear was formed in his heart. Sure enough, as the intuition told him, Ye Chang was more difficult to deal with than Gao Xianzhi, who was called the King of the Mountains. This was a smart and enterprising guy, and not too greedy for gold and silver like Gao Xianzhi. He attached more importance to the role of craftsmen and doctors, and even treated these craftsmen and doctors more than warriors.
Dou Xuena said for a long time, but Ziad just listened. Finally, Dou Xuena felt dry and stopped talking, and then he was stunned.
Why did I tell Qiyad so many things unknowingly? Isn’t this leaking the secrets of the Tang Dynasty?
He looked at Ziad in horror, feeling that General Dashi in front of him seemed to have a power to deceive people into telling the truth unconsciously. Could it be that this is the power given by their true god?
Ziad was satisfied with hearing this and stood up and stared at Dou Xuena: "You can see that you admire Ye Chang very much.
Cold sweat suddenly appeared, and Dou Xuena didn't even have the strength to deny it.
"But it doesn't matter. After hearing what you said, I also admire the young general of the Tang Kingdom. If he is willing to convert to the true God, after I capture him, I will regard him as a brother and can even help him ascend the throne of China." Ziad narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
Then he turned around and left Dou Xuena's camp.
After he walked for a while, Dou Xuena felt as if he had fallen apart, his whole body collapsed on the carpet. First it was Yuan'er, and then Ziad. Although there was no big fight tonight, it made him feel exhausted. He fell asleep in a deep sleep. I don't know how long it took, suddenly someone pushed his body, and he suddenly woke up: "Who?"
"Your Highness, it's me, listen."
What woke him up was his father's confidant. The man said softly in a slightly nervous and horrified voice. Dou Xuena turned his ear and heard nothing except the sound of the wind in the canyon.
"What?"
"Listen carefully, listen carefully." The man said with his ear against the ground.
Dou Xuena also pressed his ear to the ground, and then he felt a faint rumbling sound from the ground, which seemed to be a thousand troops galloping in the distance.
"This is... the Tang army's night attack." Dou Xuena turned over and felt surprised and happy: "Is this what the father said?"
"Anyway, be prepared." The guard whispered: "Your Highness, do you want to wake them all?"
"Wake up and get ready, be careful not to make any sounds." Dou Xuena said.
He felt that this might be what his father said about the "situation". What he needs to do now is to be prepared to escape.
Thinking of this, he put his waist on his sword and carefully left the camp. It was late at night outside, the stars were cold and the moon was clear, the heat in the daylight disappeared, and the surroundings were silent, and even the sound of insects were rarely heard. Dou Xuena quietly got away from the tent, looking east, but only saw the figures of the undulating mountains.
Did the Tang army really launch a night attack?
He thought nervously, but at this moment, he heard the vague sound of metal impact. He moved his heart and looked in the sound. Not far away, big cannibal warriors were coming out of his tent
"This... the big cannibal is ready." Dou Xuena felt a stern in his heart, and he immediately understood that the big cannibal had already been preparing for the Tang army's night attack.
Seeing these great cannibals entering their respective positions in an orderly manner, and the envoys left quietly, probably to send orders to the Servant Alliance, Dou Xuena felt that he was gradually breathing. He was looking forward to the night attack of the Tang army, but now, he was eagerly awaiting that the Tang Dynasty did not launch a night attack at all. What he heard was just an illusion.
