    Chapter 33 The Uighurs join the war

    The grassland is covered with green grass, interspersed with small flowers of various colors, and the breath of spring is already very strong. It is only less than fifty miles away from Lingzhou where Shuofang Jiedu is located. The vastness of the grassland makes people want to ride on it.  As we kept running, a breeze blew by, and the scent of green grass drifted into the distance.

    A group of about fifty cavalrymen galloped toward Lingzhou. They all had more than two horses. The hundreds of horses galloping looked amazing, but both the people and the horses looked extremely tired.  He was sweating profusely, and the cloth on the knight's body was stained with salt after the sweat had dried. There was a large bag behind the saddle of the war horse, which made a clanking sound as the horse galloped, which was obviously armor.

    They saw a stone tablet standing on the ground from a distance. The knights showed excitement on their faces. One of them shouted that it was almost there. Work harder and don't miss the Jiedushi mission.  "

    All the knights had smiles on their faces, and the joy of reaching their destination appeared on their faces. They all urged themselves to sit down on their horses and speed up. Soon hundreds of horses passed the stone monument and headed towards Lingzhou.

    Not long after this group of cavalry arrived, two pieces of turf on the side of the road moved. Two men stood up wearing blankets that looked very similar to turf. The two of them quickly walked to a dirt slope, which was just right.  Blocking the view from the road, two war horses were grazing behind them. The two rolled up the turf-like blanket, mounted their horses, and galloped eastward. They walked eastward for more than ten miles and came to the edge of a forest.  The two men didn't stop and went straight into the woods.

    About two miles into the forest, they came to a small valley, where several gray and green tents were standing there. After arriving, the two rode horses directly to the tents, dismounted and entered a tent, and entered the tent.  Several people were sitting on the ground inside, led by Wan Hai. These people were the scouts led by Wan Hai, who had penetrated into the vicinity of Lingzhou to investigate the military situation.

    As soon as the two entered, they immediately reported what they had just seen to Wan Hai. Wan Hai frowned and said that it has been four days since we arrived in Lingzhou. Lingzhou's defenses are so tight that no one is allowed to enter or exit at all. This is quite abnormal.  of.  "

    "Moreover, the Tang Army's patrols and investigations within twenty miles of Lingzhou are extremely strong. This is very abnormal after Shuofang Jiedushi Guo Ziyi led the army to attack. Now this is the only thing." Wan Hai stood up and said to all  The subordinates said that I would personally take Wang Yi to investigate nearby Lingzhou. All of you should divide into four directions and get as close as possible to Lingzhou to observe the situation. You will gather here in two days to exchange information. You must find out clearly what is happening in Lingzhou.  "

    All the scouts stood up and clasped their fists together to obey the order.  "

    Wan Hai gently adjusted the camouflage net on his body. The city wall of Lingzhou was in sight in the distance. However, Wan Hai and Wang Yi did not dare to get closer. Objects that could be easily moved from a high position on the top of the city were likely to be blocked when approaching.  The entire city gate of Lingzhou was closed, and there were many people on the city, which seemed to be very tightly defended. As the capital of Shuofang Jiedu, Lingzhou had a population of 200,000, so it could be considered a big city. Although there was fighting in the front, Lingzhou  Zhoucheng will not look like this, as if it is facing a powerful enemy.

    Putting aside their doubts, Wan Hai and Wang Yi lay motionless on the ground. They had received strict training and could lie in wait for days and nights under such circumstances. Wan Hai decided to wait until night to quietly approach the city wall and find them.  Go to the city at a blind spot to observe. Wan Hai has such confidence and his martial arts skills should be able to complete this task.

    In the city, all the fifty cavalrymen who had entered the city had dismounted. In the main hall of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion, a general wearing a helmet and armor was sitting at the head. This man was Dong Fang, the deputy military envoy of Shuofang, where Dong Fang was born.  The Dong family is a powerful family in Shuofang. His family has Uighur blood in his bloodline. The family has been dealing with the Uighurs for more than three generations. The horses, tea, and salt in Lingzhou are almost monopolized by the Dong family. That is a huge wealth, so Dong  Just then I was able to sit on the position of deputy governor of Shuofang.

    Dong Fang himself is also a war general. He is proficient in martial arts and is good at wielding an iron mace. He has 10,000 Dong family cavalry, which is also Shuo Fang's famous fighting strength. At this time, he is holding the dozens of Guo Ziyi sent to him just now.  The letter sent by the cavalry, the joy on his face flashed across his face. After thinking for a moment, Dong Fang said that you have worked hard delivering the letter. Each of you should receive five taels of silver and go down to rest.  "

    The knights below knelt down and bowed in salute before exiting the hall. Dong Fang ordered the soldiers on his left and right to invite the Uighur General Ye Samuli.  "

    The soldiers took the order. Half an hour later, there was the sound of iron boots outside, and seven or eight generals wearing iron armor walked into the hall. The leading general was wearing ring armor and had a huge scimitar on his waist.  , the length of the ordinary scimitar is only eighty centimeters, but the length of the scimitar this man is wearing is up to one and a half meters. It is a long blade for use with both hands.

    This general has deep eyes and a high nose, with brown curly hair exposed under a round iron helmet, he was not a Central Plains race at first glance. The seven or eight generals following him also had similar appearance and features to him, but the armors on his body were of various types, some were wearing large  Some wore Tang-style Mingguang armor, and some only wore a set of leather armor. Everyone was agile and strong.

    The few people who entered the hall were not polite and found seats to sit down. The leading general said that it had been half a month since he arrived in Lingzhou. Guo Ziyi's military governor was too slow. Since we want the Uighur army to fight together.  Rebel, but what¡¯s the point of locking us up in Lingzhou like a prison?  Do we have to wait until the Ulan fight is over before calling us?  "

    It turned out that this general was Ye Samuli, the Uighur general who protected the country. Guo Ziyi had expected before the war that Li Zuoguo's Anxi Army would not be easy to defeat. In order to ensure victory, Guo Ziyi ordered Dong Fang, who had the best relationship with the Uighurs, to contact the Uighurs and hope that the Uighurs would be defeated.  Send troops and defeat the Anxi Army together with the Tang Army. However, although the Uighurs have always had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, the conditions for sending troops this time are very harsh. Not only does it require that all the food and grass for the Uighur army must be borne by Guo Ziyi, all the Uighur army on the battlefield  The seizure belongs to everyone, and a vast pasture near Lingzhou is used as the main price for this Uighur troop dispatch.
