Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

???????? Just as Qu Zhu sat down to rest, a cavalry army seemed to come out from under his nose, staring at them for a long time before leaving.

???????? "Don't be alarmed, King Fengcheng, they are our own people." Han Congxun said, "The soldiers and horses of the Qibi tribe came to meet them."

????????? Han Congxun is the son of Han Jian, the former Deputy Envoy of Canzhou Tuanlian.After Zhubian County stopped training, he was "unemployed".

???????? But how can he, a noble son of the new dynasty, who has a strong root, be really unemployed? In fact, he is now the commander of the Johor State Army, and he was ordered to lead a thousand cavalry eastward. Respond to the retreat of the old and the weak, women and children of Sanquan, Xianyougong and Ruyuan.

??????????????????The identity of King Xi was sensitive, so he withdrew together, and the eldest son Su Zhi stayed behind in Yuyi Town.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

???????? "Qibi has always been aware of the general situation, King Fengcheng don't worry." Han Congxun said with a smile.

???????? When Qu Zhu heard the word "King Fengcheng", he was slightly melancholy.

???????? This is the title of the former Tang Dynasty. Now that the new dynasty is established, he has not been crowned king. I don't know if he forgot or what.

???????? Speaking of the generosity of the former Tang Dynasty, the heroes did not get a king with a different surname, and the kings were all external military leaders or Fan tribes.In the new dynasty, a king with a different surname has not been crowned, so why not crown the Fan tribe as a king? Get it done as soon as possible, so everyone can feel at ease.

???????? Han Congxun didn't have time to care about the thoughts in his heart. He kept talking with the scouts and rangers after running, and asked them to expand their range so that they would not be approached quietly.

???????? This retreat is no small matter.

???????? There are about 100 people in the three departments, and they fled westward with more than [-] million livestock.These people's fighting ability is extremely weak, once they are caught up by the Khitan people, the fun will be great.

???????? Thinking of this episode, Han Congxun also had to secretly slander.The imperial court was too greedy, expanding all the way, exposing its soft belly to the enemy.Usually relying on their strong soldiers and strong horses, the Jin people did not dare to go north in a big way. They could only take advantage of the vacuum period after the army was dismissed and sent a small group of elite cavalry to attack and cause some damage to the tribes.

????????? Right now the Khitan is advancing westward in a big way, and the problem is exposed all at once.If the five prefectures of Yun, Xin, Yi, Gui, and Wei are not removed, there will never be a peaceful day in Qinan Grassland.

????????? Another group of cavalry appeared in the north. Judging from the direction they were traveling, it seemed to be the east.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????!

???????? It is more generous to go to Zhu, knowing that this Uighur cavalry from Hunbu was going to kill them, and ordered people to kill a lot of livestock to provide them with meat.Even some of the precious grains were taken out, about two hundred hu, and distributed to the knights who went to war.

???????? "Who are you ordering to go east?" Han Congxun asked someone while the group of cavalry were grazing horses.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He sent someone to ask for help, and when Liang Dutou heard about it, he mobilized some troops to go eastward, took ten days of dry food, and went to Tanshan to defend against the enemy."

???????? "The Khitan people are chasing so fast?" Han Congxun was a little surprised, ""Is Xianyou Palace unable to withstand it?"

???????? Chief Hao shook his head and said: "I don't know. But they have a city wall, so they shouldn't be in such a mess. We didn't work hard in the past. The leader said, we must first ensure three belts for the elderly, weak, women and children." With the cattle and sheep withdrawing smoothly, we can fight and retreat, blocking and harassing us layer by layer, trying to slow down the speed of the Khitan's pursuit.  …

???????? Han Congxun was quite emotional when he heard it.

???????? He knew that this time the Khitan people played a big game.Scattered soldiers like them pounced on them, and the casualties must be huge.To put it bluntly, this is taking life to delay the Khitan people, but it is not his own tribal people who are saved.The Beiya Lifanyuan and the Privy Council can do this, which is quite good.

???????? "The eight tribes of the Khitan are not all elite soldiers. I heard that the only good fighters are the Khan under the command of Tama Prison Sariye Luyi, who follows the pro-army. You need to be careful when you encounter them." Han Congxun said: "Are there enough arrows and wound medicine?"

???????? Yeluyi brought out a total of more than 1 Khan's pro-army, which was composed of selected elites. They were full-time warriors with excellent armor and combat skills.
???????? Rich fighting experience, strict discipline, brave fighting.

???????? The others are herdsmen.The herdsmen who are struggling to death are herdsmen with combat experience. They are willing to come out as non-professional warriors to rob, but not necessarily desperately. It depends on the level of morale boosted by the officers and whether their prestige can convince the public.

???????? "Should be enough." Chief Hao hesitated and said.

???????????????????? Beida all tribes Fan soldiers, in fact, the Tutuan peasants of the Han land, or even worse.The Tutuan peasants go out to fight, and the imperial court even distributes equipment. The Fan soldiers have to prepare their own dry food and weapons. Not everyone has the ability to buy enough supplies. It depends on the economic strength, or whether their leaders are generous or not. —————When you meet a stingy tribal noble, it is not surprising that you use bone arrows to go into battle. Even lending you a horse is considered money.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

???????? After giving the order, he laughed again: "Since the annexation of the black car Shiwei, there is no shortage of large carts. Take the carts with you too, and you don't have to return them."

???????? After hearing this, Chief Hao was a little moved, and said: "Supreme Khan sent people to teach us how to grow rye, sugar beet, and sugar extraction, and he also sent people to sell goods to the grassland. The past few years have been easy. There are a lot of them. This time we sent troops, we just did our best, and there is nothing to say.”

???????? Han Congxun became more emotional, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, without saying anything.

???????? He used to work beside Zhang Quanyi.

???????? Zhang Shijun still has a lot of experience in the way of managing the world and helping the country. The promotion of rye is the best in Canzhou. On the brine near Xuanhongchi and Daihai, it is also planted A handful of sea beets.He once took Han Congxun to visit various counties, and even personally led a team to Nuozhenshui area to distribute seeds to herdsmen.

???????? The planting techniques of the herdsmen are pathetic.For them, the entire planting process is over when the seeds are planted.Without any field management, just wait for the harvest after the autumn harvest, which can be described as labor-saving and worry-free.But even such primitive farming has brought them valuable cash income.

???????? At a time when the number of livestock in the Central Plains is increasing and the competitive advantage of grasslands is weakening, this kind of economic support is very precious.The shepherds can use sugar to exchange urgently needed daily necessities, and the family has more or less stored some rye, which can last for a while during a famine.

???????? In short, the living conditions of some herdsmen have been significantly improved.

????????? In addition, after the white disaster, the imperial court will also open warehouses to provide food relief, and the Supreme Khan's rule in the Qinan Grassland is indeed quite stable.Maybe not as supportive as the Han people in Kansai, but among the dynasties, it can be regarded as among the best. …

???????? After bidding farewell to the Hunbu soldiers, Han Congxun got on his horse again and patrolled around.

???????? On the vast grassland, countless cattle, sheep, and people rolled westward.They ran for their lives while grazing, stop and go, and from mid-June, they arrived in Joozhou in batches one after another, which made everyone in the camp breathe a sigh of relief.

????????The secret report of the Gao family may not have much impact on the outcome of the war, but it is very precious to these herdsmen who have retreated hastily.If it takes ten and a half months at night, it is very likely that they will not be able to escape—the city wall cannot protect everyone.

????????******
?????????????????????????????????????????

????????? More than twenty years have passed, and the once middle-aged handsome man has become a fateful old man with white beard and hair.The grass on the grave of the old buddy and old friend who did not hide Qingxiang is three feet high. He is still walking in the center of the court.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

???????? Ye Li Jingchen did not bother him, and handled his official duties on his own.

???????? "I said, is Liang Hanyong's strategy feasible?" Yang asked suddenly.

????????? Yeli Jingchen put down his brush, coughed heavily, and then said, "It's hard to say."

???????? "Why?" Yang Can asked.

???????? "He thought the Khitan people were fools." Nori Jingchen said bluntly: "This man Yeluyi, I read through the files, and he is actually very flexible in using troops. Why does he think that The Khitans will fight according to his ways?"

????????Yang Ju was silent for a while, and sighed: "It is not easy to enter Jinyang now. Li Keyong even blocked the river.
????????? The routes of the caravans in and out of Zhong, Heyang, and Weibo, many information cannot be found.This society only knows that Li Keyong and Abaoji are brothers, and nothing else. "

???????? "Wars are like this. We don't know what the Jin people think, how many soldiers they have, whether they will be dispatched, and when they will be dispatched. We also don't know how many troops Khitan dispatched. We can only guess I don’t even know where Abaoji’s main force is.” Nori Jingchen said, “Correspondingly, the Khitan people and the Jin people are also blind to us. Both sides are probing and guessing. If I am A Baoji. To be on the safe side, I invite Li Keyong to meet on the grassland. When the battle clouds are thick, if Li Keyong goes north, he will definitely be accompanied by an army. 8 to 30 people, these soldiers plus the army brought by A Baoji, there may be [-] people, while grazing, marching westward, pushing all the way, winning by numbers, when the time comes, we will be the ones who will be passive."

???????? "Li Keyong may not agree." Yang Jue said.

???????? "Indeed." Yeli Jingchen said: "But it is also possible to agree. The only ones that can really fight in the Rouzhou camp are actually only [-] soldiers of the Flying Dragon and Silver Spears. The town soldiers are unbearable. State soldiers can't do it, let alone Fan soldiers. Let me tell you, the most dangerous enemy in this battle is not the Khitans, but Li Keyong. If this guy sends out his old cavalry, what kind of flying cavalry, relatives? For troops such as cavalry, cloud cavalry, Hengchong, Yier, sudden cavalry, sudden formation, and iron forest, we have to top the flying dragon and silver spear army. The town soldiers and state soldiers are mainly infantry, and their main task is to defend the city. The remaining Fan soldiers fight the Khitans, the outcome is hard to say, the possibility of losing is not small."

???????? Yang Jue thought about it carefully. …

???????? In the past, why did the Xia army occupy a great advantage in Daibei, forcing the Jin army to retreat? The defensive routine is actually very simple, that is, there are too many people!Part of the elite soldiers engulfed a large number of Fan people, and they were overwhelming, forcing the Jin people to dare not fight.The existence of the Khitan people today is actually helping the Jin people make up for the weakest link.

???????? On paper, the strength of the Jin and Khitan coalition forces far exceeds that of the Rouzhou camp.In this battle, the possibility of losing is greater than the possibility of winning.

????????? Liang Hanyong also realized this, so he first ordered the old and weak women and children in Sanquan, Ruyuan, and Xianyou Palace to retreat, and at the same time ordered the young men and young men who were conscripted by the three ministries to rely on the city pools to move forward layer by layer. The block consumes the Khitan army.

???????? The Khitans have no ability to attack the city, and they are safe for a short time.If you want to retreat, it's not difficult, just go out of the city and run away. The Khitans are unlikely to dig trenches and build trenches and walls to surround them. They don't have this habit.

???????? To put it bluntly, this is a plan to lure the enemy deeper.

???????? The Khitan may or may not be fooled, Liang Hanke really thought too simply.

???????? "Liang Hanyong's layout is a little bit smaller." Ye Li Jingchen said with a smile: "The saints like to use soldiers to combine the right and the odd. As the eldest son-in-law of the saint, Liang Hanyong has not even learned the superficial. Looking at it Well, the memorial should have been placed on the sage's desk in Luoyang. The sage will not agree, his plan is much more daring."

???????? Yang Jue laughed and said: "No matter what the sage thinks, let's stabilize the position in Rouzhou first. If Jin soldiers and Khitan people rush and collapse, then all plans will be useless gone."

????????The idea of ​​the sage, combined with the previous information, he vaguely guessed.

???????? In fact, it was a copy of Zhu Quanzhong.

???????? This classic tactic of Zhengqi coincidence is almost the first thing that everyone who studies the art of war needs to master.But there are really not many people who can use this trick well. The saint's skill in this area is indeed at its peak.
