Seeing that the business of the tea shop was becoming regular day by day, Tang Hao was relieved.
During this period of time, the story of Tang Hao''s raid on Yinshan and the killing of Wang Tao in Chang''an city is still exaggerated and spread in Chang''an city.
Mid September.
A message from the North came into the palace secretly.
Turks knock.
At this time, Cheng Chumo sat quietly in front of Tang Hao and said angrily.
"Brother Tang, we just inquired about the war report in the northern territory at the military headquarters. Lingyan fort, a checkpoint in the Northern Territory, was broken by 3000 Turkic cavalry. 290 Tang soldiers in the fort stayed for three days. All died in the war without reinforcements."
Speaking of this, Cheng chumerton paused and poured a mouthful of wine. His eyes turned red and his voice sank.
"This level was originally built to monitor the movements of Turks. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was also difficult to be trampled by several times of Turk soldiers and iron cavalry. It was so hard to die."
Hearing the news, Tang Hao was silent.
On the battlefield, two or three hundred people died, which is nothing, but it depends on how they were sacrificed.
The 290 Tang soldiers went deep into the most dangerous grassland, formed the first line of defense in the north with flesh and blood, and approached the edge of death again and again in exchange for news of the movements of Turkic soldiers.
Finally, unfortunately, he fell under the iron cavalry of Turkic soldiers. The news sounded respectful and mixed with endless sadness.
Two people who have experienced the battle of Yinshan together can fully understand the feeling of being alone and helpless, and can better understand the despair in the face of multiple enemy encirclement.
Tang Hao''s face was so ugly that he asked in a deep voice.
"Is Li Xiaogong, as the commander-in-chief, indifferent to the checkpoint ahead?"
Chumo looks at the empty wine bowl in front of him and mumbles.
"Li Xiaogong gathered the troops and horses of the four sides to the Deyang front line, so that the Tang troops of the Datong front line gathered all the way to the Datong house, sat ready for the decisive battle, and did not send troops to rescue."
After listening, Tang Hao punched on the table in front of him.
Tang Hao couldn''t understand what Li Xiaogong, the coach, was thinking.
The war has not yet begun, but only 3000 soldiers besieged Lingyan Castle during the patrol. Li Xiaogong can lead a thousand cavalry to rescue the 290 people in a day. However, Li Xiaogong did not do so.
These are 290 living lives. They were buried like this!
Thinking of the war against Turks, Tang Hao sank down and analyzed.
"From the current layout, Li Xiaogong still plans to launch a decisive battle with Turkic soldiers on the front line of Deyang and gain wisdom. In order to prevent Turks from raiding the west line again, Li Xiaogong has arranged Datong in advance."
Chumo slowly looks up at Tang Hao.
"General Li is still very careful. The layout is still based on stability."
Hearing the speech, Tang Hao snorted coldly and said faintly.
"Such a layout can be regarded as seamless. No matter which line the Turkic army attacks, it is bound to be a big war. It is really a good thing to fight steadily."
Tang Hao takes a sip of wine and stares at Chumo.
"However, we are facing the northern grassland tribes. It is impossible to win by relying only on stability."
"These barbarians in the north are all cavalry. They move very quickly. They can fight and retreat if they want. If they can''t cut off their way back, even if they are defeated in the front battlefield, they can still run away."
Chumo nodded slightly, sighed and said.
"Once there is a way back for them to slip back to the grassland, their world will be on the grassland. It will be very difficult to pull them out of the grassland again."
The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other''s heart.
As two new generals who have fought with Turks, I am familiar with the fighting methods of Turks.
So the discussion here is just a discussion.
After all, for the control of the war, the big strategy and the big tone, that is what the generals and coaches consider.
As for small roles like Tang Hao and Chumo, they are just the lowest level of generals.
Chumo, who was granted the position of Ranger general by the king of Tang Dynasty, is the lowest level among the determined generals.
As for Tang Hao, due to his previous meritorious work in making horseshoes, he was promoted by the king of Tang and became a general of Dingyuan.
General Dingyuan is a general of the fifth grade. Among the military officers, he can be regarded as a middle-level official in the true sense.
In the army, he can be in charge of an army, but he is just a general in charge of 5000 people.
Compared with general Ningyuan, it''s just that the official rank is half higher and the number of troops in charge is more.
Rao is so. Tang Hao still doesn''t have much right to intervene in such state affairs. Especially compared with Li Xiaogong, who controls more than 100000 coaches, Tang Hao is just a small official.
Naturally, Tang Hao has no right to make any evaluation of Li Xiaogong''s decision.
As for Li Xiaogong''s performance, Tang Hao also had some suspicion in his heart.
For the war in the north, 80% of the king of Tang will no longer use this cautious Hejian princess.
As for the coach, if Tang Hao''s idea is good, he should send Li Jing.
Of course, this is just Tang Hao''s guess. For Tang Hao, he had to make his affairs formal before going to the north.
For example, it will not be branded as the Wei Wang party.
For another example, taking full control of Dali temple can still remotely control the event of Chang''an at the front line in the north.
