Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 300
Birds sat on the branches, chirping.

Cui You had just finished taking care of the cattle and sheep, and was about to take a rest when he suddenly heard a rush of hooves.

"The governor of Xi'an has an order to call all the warriors to gather in Jialin City and listen to the order under Cui Sulun's tent." After the knight dropped this sentence, he rode his horse around the village twice, repeating the sentence just now , before leaving after a long time, and continue to pass orders to the next place.

The governor of Xijie means the governor of Xijie.It is customary in Tubo to put the official title after the name, which is quite different from that in Han.

When the Han people recorded the positions and names of Tubo people, they would rearrange the order in their own way, putting the official position first, such as discussing fear of heat, which means the prime minister of fear of heat.

Cui You knew Chinese, although he didn't speak it often.

The leader of their tribe is called Cui Su, and his official position is "Lun", which means prime minister.

In fact, before the collapse of Tubo, it was not common.There are only "Nine Great Shangluns" in the whole country, each of which has a prime minister (theory) and a deputy prime minister.But the Tang people did not know that there were officials of a certain level in Tubo, that is, they were crowned by theory.

After the collapse of Tubo, official positions such as "lun" and "supervisor" increased like gold coupons, and their value continued to depreciate.In Liangzhou, the leader of a tribe is also called Lun. There are many governors in the tribe, which is a bit of a joke.

Cui You sighed, probably going to fight Liugubu again.

Almost every year to fight, when is the head?The Liangzhou Delun (Jiedushi) of the Tang Dynasty is a waste, and the Jieer (the governor) and Su Lun (the frontier general) below are not good.

Forget it, they are weak, so it's not surprising - it's not that Cui You looks down on them, just those thousand soldiers, as long as Mo Mo is willing, a Cui family tribe can destroy them.

And there is not only one Cui tribe in Yanmo, but also eight tribes with surnames Lu, Li, Hao, Ren, Qin, Zhang, Chen, and Tian.Of course, Zhebu and Wuxijia are also very strong, and both belong to the big family of Yanmo.

If it is serious, Yanmo can dispatch an army of more than 1, and the Liugu tribe in the south can dispatch up to [-].There is a gap in strength between the two, but Liugubu is more united, at least more united than their Momo.

Cui You returned to the village listlessly.

He is Zheng Ding, and he will definitely go to war. The governor of Xi'ai is very vicious. If you dare to escape the military service, he will kill you.

Pooh!He is obviously a member of the Cui clan, but he took a Tubo name.Others have untied their braids, but he didn't know how to untie their braids.Many people stop grazing and switch to farming, but he encloses the pasture and drives others to graze for him.

Wake up, Tubo is dead, who will you show as a Tubo?
After returning home to pick up the equipment, Cui You went to the village unhappily, and ignored everyone who shouted.

There were more than [-] people standing on the grass one after another, with various surnames.The Cui family tribe does not mean that all tribes have the surname Cui, but that the Cui surname is a big family and is a "lun" that can rule this area.

Cui You looked left and right, and chatted with several people, but everyone was at a loss.Some people speculated that they were going to attack the Liugu tribe again, some speculated that they were going to attack Liangzhou City, and some even speculated that they were going north to attack some tribes in Hexi Dangxiang.Because just last year, those hateful party members and Tatars went south to plunder Liangzhou.

Guessing is meaningless, Cui You sat on the ground, quietly waiting for Baihu's arrival.

After waiting until noon, Baihu Cui'e came over with a few people.He glanced casually, counted the heads, and when he found that there was nothing wrong, he said hello and let everyone follow him on the road.

Yan Mo, like all grassland tribes, not everyone has a horse.

Cui has no horses.With a bow and a Tibetan spear on his back, he followed Baihu with difficulty, and walked slowly towards Jialin City.

Two days later, they arrived at their destination.

Xi Nai walked over first, checked the number of soldiers and horses with his hundreds and thousands of households, and then reported to Cui Lun.

Cui You stood in front, quietly watching many noble people who were rarely seen gathered together.

Not only them, but even the vassal Long family, Tuyuhun, and small Tatar tribes all sent people over.

Now the scene is big!Cui Lun will probably bring 2000 people into battle this time, right?And they are the bravest and most talented group of people in each tribe.

The Long family, who are good at raising horses, have always been discriminated against despite their high noses, deep eyes and long beards.But I have to admit that they are really good at raising horses. They are a natural horse-training tribe, and they can also treat horses. If there are many cavalry, it is best to have people from the Long family tribe to help take care of them.

Murong clan of Tuyuhun and Yeli clan of Tatar are not many in number, but they are aggressive and brave. If they act as pioneers, they are simply unstoppable.When the Tibetans of the Liugu tribe saw them, they were probably half scared.On the ground in Liangzhou, who can stop them?
There are also cunning Sogdians who are familiar with the road and can scout for information, so they are rare dogs.

Of course, they are still the backbone, a total of 500 people!Both infantry and cavalry have proved their strength in many years of war.Except for the Liugu Department of Tubo, everyone surrendered.

Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of the Yanmo people!

After the army was assembled, they set off with their respective hundred households.After walking for a while, Cui You suddenly realized something was wrong, why was he walking east?Shouldn't you be heading south?
It's a pity that no one answered his doubts, Baihu and Qianhu looked serious, and only urged everyone to speed up.

What kind of battle is this fighting? !
It was already noon when An Xiuxiu received the news, and the enemy army was less than twenty miles away from Liangzhou City.

He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately summoned the two generals Li Duo and He Yu, and asked them to mobilize the soldiers to prepare for battle.As for the Liangzhou soldiers, just play around and pretend that those people don't exist anymore.

The dull sound of horseshoes hitting the ground that has not yet melted ice and snow, occasionally mixed with the sound of knives and guns clashing.

On the gray and white field, two teams of cavalry were chasing.

"Whoosh!" An Xiuxiu took out his riding bow and shot an arrow, which hit the enemy's back heart.

The guard clamped the horse's belly, stepped forward quickly, stabbed forward with the horse's spear in his hand, and picked him up directly.

More cavalry rushed out on both sides.They are well-equipped, and many of them have iron armor. Looking at the shape, what's more, it is the Zha Jia made by Jinyang Metropolitan Academy!

The dozens of cavalry being chased by them should be the vanguard of the enemy army.Brave is brave, but the equipment is a bit poor, and the cooperation between them is almost meaningless, just like being used to fighting alone since childhood.Therefore, it was quickly dispersed by more than a hundred Shatuo cavalry, and fled wildly on horseback.

Chase all the way, fight all the way.

The fleeing enemy rangers quickly dispersed in disarray.After leaving more than [-] corpses behind, they finally broke free from the pursuit of the Shatuo cavalry and fled to the back of a small forest.

An Xiuxiu decisively issued an order to stop the pursuit.

Hundreds of riders circled the gray field, and then lined up on a high ground.

The horse snorted incessantly, and its iron hooves pawed back and forth in the snow.

The knight stood on the horseback, exhaling white steam continuously from his mouth, and the horse's lance and sword were stained with congealed blood.

The cold wind blew, and the sky became gloomy again.

Anxiu stared steadily ahead, where a camp had already been set up.There were many people in the camp, and there was a lot of noise. Some riders were leading their horses out of the camp, and they were pointing in this direction.

"Let's retreat!" An Xiuxiu turned his horse's head and rode down the high slope.

Like a gust of wind, hundreds of cavalry left the battlefield and disappeared into the gray field.

There are a lot of enemy cavalry, and there is no chance of winning if you continue to fight. It is just a waste of human life, and it is not worth it.

After returning to Liangzhou, An Xiuxiu's soldiers threw one off his horse.

The man's hands were tied behind his back, and when he fell from the horse, his face hit a stone, and two teeth were directly knocked out.

"Interrogate him well!" An Xiuxiu ordered, and then quickly returned to Miyagi.

"Military envoy, what's the situation?" Li Duo and He Yu, who were neatly dressed, stepped forward and asked.

"The good days are over, and the war is about to begin!" An Xiuxiu said coldly.

He was [-]% sure that the incoming enemy army was Yan Mo.However, they have not been in Liangzhou for a short time, and they have lived in peace before.At the end of the day, what kind of stimulation was it that sent a large group of people to Liangzhou?
Chen Cheng quickly rushed over.

"Vice Envoy Chen." An Xiuxiu saluted respectfully.

"General An, needless to say, someone already knows about this matter." Chen Cheng said as soon as he came, "It must be the Yan Mo people."

"I saw at least 3000 cavalry outside just now, so this should be a vanguard." An Xiuxiu's war experience can be considered very old, just listen to him say: "There are [-] vanguards, and the whole army should be in the vanguard." More than [-] people. Fushi Chen, now has to defend the city to watch out for the thieves."

When the Shunyi army first came to Liangzhou, more than [-] camels and more than [-] grain carts transported a total of more than [-] dendrobium, millet and wheat, enough to feed their entire army for about half a year.However, a batch was allocated to Liangzhou, and three months had passed, and now there was enough food left for less than a month.

But enough.One month is enough to go back and forth from Huizhou to Liangzhou.Most of the next batch of grain is already in transit.Maybe it came from the direction of Huizhou, maybe it came from the direction of Lingzhou.

"I'm afraid I can't stick to it." Chen Cheng smiled wryly.
