16. The army from all the routes takes the lead

After nightfall, the Xia people held the torches they held when they restrained their soldiers. They were as numerous as stars on the wasteland, accompanied by shrill crying, mixed with the smell of the corpse, and blew straight to Qiwu Mountain with the strong wind.

The Tang army, who returned from victory, rushed to cut down wood at the foot of the mountain, and did not dare to slack off. They set up wooden fences around the white Qiwu City where the Helian Temple was located.

Under the candlelight of the tent set up, Gao Yue was very satisfied with the result of the battle, and asked Zhou Ziping, who came with him, to count the achievements of the soldiers in detail. At this time, Tuoba Chaohui's youngest son Sheng was pushed in by Gao Yue's tooth soldiers.

"I will not kill you, but I hope that you and this Emperor Tian Monk named Yishi will go to Baichengzi at the right time to persuade your father to surrender. Your Pingxia tribe will have no chance of victory or escape." Gao Yue said this to Tuoba Sheng in a gentle tone.

At this moment, Sheng saw the "Emperor Heaven Monk" mentioned by the other party, that is, the man named Mouse. He looked very peacefully and his eyes were looking at him quietly.

At this moment, several generals entered the account and asked Gao Yue whether he should take advantage of the victory and pursue him, and forced him to enforce the city.

"No, we were in a hurry to fight. Now that our army has captured Qiwushan and Heishui, we have no worries about defeat. We hereby urge Xu Baohui, Zhang Guangsheng, Du Huangshang and Kang Rizhi's troops to gather together." After thinking about it, Gao Yue added, "Then he sent the light cavalry of Shu Qiang Yicong to take turns to plunder the surroundings of Wancheng, and force all the rebel Qiang back to the city or disperse them."

Then, the Tang army quickly began a light cavalry-style plundering around Tongwan City, which was very useful for the Xia regime, which had just formed the "semi-nomadic and semi-settled" model: most of the foreign camps lived under Tongwan City, and many chiefs had begun to build museums to settle down - most of the Tang army that rushed by lightning were busy, throwing torches to burn buildings, or shooting and plundering Xia people, women and children and their livestock.

When he learned that Prince Nixiang died in battle, the Qing Tianzi Yuanhui, whose two sons had a uncertain life and death, had almost lost all his fighting spirit. At this moment, he followed his advice and moved all the men and women outside the city who were attacked by Tang cavalry outside the city to the city.

At the same time, Gao Yue also took the opportunity to shrink and encircle the net.

Soon, Xu Baohui and Kang Rizhi led 7,000 cavalry. After capturing Yudol City, two hundred miles north of Tongwan City, they seized Shiziling. After receiving Gao Yue's order, they went south to Heishui to meet with him and join the attack on Tongwan City.

Together with the two Jieshangs, there was also a member of the Uighurs "Mei Lu" (meaning the general) and three thousand Uighur cavalry. This Mei Lu was named Yaoluo Geling, who was adopted by Khan Wuyi. He was very powerful in the Uighurs and was highly trusted by Khan.

But in fact, Yao Luo Ge Ling was a Han man. His surname was Lu, but he was good at planning and made a name for himself in the desert. Because of this, Gao Yue had a close relationship with him. From Yao Luo Ge Ling, Gao Yue understood his mission and was the prospective father-in-law who assisted Wuyi Khan, who was the Tang family who throne Wancheng. However, he was secretly responsible for asking the Tang family for this year's "market money", and also welcomed Princess Deyang to get married.

Gao Yue said to him: "As long as you go to Tongwancheng, the princess's wedding queue will immediately lead to Tiande Military City along this place, and then your Khan will come to welcome the bride. You can also bring back 100,000 good cloths to fill my Tang horse money."

Yao Luo Ge Ling was overjoyed and said that our Uighurs would do their best to help.

At this time, Gao Yue took the opportunity to win over Yao Luo Ge Ling, "After my Tang and Huihe intermarried, I will be a family. If I have anything to do in the future, I just want to tell you."

Although this medicine Luo Ge Ling became a Uighur, he was still a Han person at heart. Of course, he could communicate with the Han people. He immediately felt so frightened and expressed his willingness to be in harmony with Gao Yue.

Gao Yue agreed to him, and immediately asked the court to give me the title of Pushe. From then on, you are in the Tang and Uighur countries.

In return, Yao Luo Ge Ling promised Gao Yue that once the wedding was completed, he persuaded Wuyi Khan to send 50,000 troops to cooperate with the Tang family and severely attack Xifan!

The two powerful ministers hit it off.

Soon, Hun Yu led 4,000 cavalry and arrived at Woyebo to meet with Gao Yue.

Then Zhang Guangsheng's three thousand Zhenwu cavalry also came from the Camel Weir. Not only did Zhang himself come in place, but at the western boundary of Shengzhou, a Tuyuhun Helianfeng, who had originally moved inward, led his tribe members to join Zhang Guangsheng, expressing his desire to rely on the Tang family and the Dangxiang of the Pingxia tribe to split the friendship.

After the troops took Qi, Gao Yue ordered the entire army to move south to the north of the north of Tongwancheng.

On October 20, Gao Gu and Zhang Jingze led 30,000 infantry, carrying copper cannons, vehicles and supplies, and had also arrived at the east of Tongwan City, and built several floating bridges at Wuding River to connect with Gao Yue's military camp.

The Xia people in the city once dispatched two thousand light cavalry to fight for the burning of the floating bridge, but were shot hard by the tiger cannon set up by the Dingwu Army and retreated.

Two days later, the Tang army flags governed by Jia Dan appeared in Nanshan and Xiyuan: Under Jia Dan's clever deployment, the Tang army on the West Road was divided into two lines, sandwiched with Sheyan Water formations. Nanshan was to protect the Da and Jingsai, and Shencai decided to win the battles. Xiyuan was Zhu XieJianzhong and Murong Junchao. Also on the Shui River, Jia Dan ordered four floating bridges to be built.

Thus, the Tang army and the dependent servant army had a total of 100,000 people, surrounded and commanded ten thousand cities from all sides.

In the Ming Palace, the emperor's face was extremely gloomy.

Sure enough, all towns in Guandong are now pulling the court's back.

Xuanwu and Liu Shining, who had just been recognized by the court, couldn't wait to inspect the prefectures and counties within his jurisdiction, and then suddenly drove away the governor of Songzhou appointed by the court and replaced it with Liu Yizhun. Then Liu Shining made a false report and asked the court for approval.

The court issued several edicts asking Tian Xu and Li Na to destroy Sanfan City in Dezhou to prevent it from becoming a place where Wei Bo and Ziqing collusion. However, the two governors ignored the court and began to strengthen and repair the city walls of Sanfan City.

The most arrogant one was Wu Shaocheng in Huaixi. He actually decided to irrigate the farmlands of the town by irrigating the two rivers with the water of the Caocan River and flowed into Huaixi. The Caohe River actually dried up and reached its bottom, and the imperial ships could not pass by at all!

The emperor was furious and issued consecutive edicts to scold Wu Shaocheng, but Wu Chong turned a blind eye.

Finally, the emperor thought that all the elite soldiers and generals in the country were sent to conquer Wancheng, and the northwest and southwest were also fully supporting the war. I could not disturb the overall situation with minor anger, so I could only send a central official and grant Wu Shaocheng the title of prosecutor Sikong. This made Wu agree to build the embankment again, but it was the court who paid for the embankment.

"The court treats me like a baby, and will not come to feed me if I don't cry." Wu Shaocheng said this proudly to his counselor Li Yuanping afterwards.

"Wait for me, wait until the senior year of high school, and I will settle the score well with you Huaixi!" The emperor gritted his teeth, and his hatred became stronger and stronger.
Chapter completed!
