Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 327 This is the trick again!

The wind wrinkled a pool of spring water.

The woods rustled, and the birds flew in flocks.

On the forest road, a large group of soldiers are on their way.

They wore brown camel hair military uniforms, and they formed a column formation unique to fast marching.The scouts were spread out, and even the army cavalry was dispatched to expand the scouting range.

Forests, cols, lakes and swamps, search carefully to ensure that there are no enemies.

They have to be so careful.

The army from Jiankang came all the way, and the light soldiers rushed forward. Except for water and arrows, all the supplies were left there, and camping at night was a big trouble.

Who said the commander-in-chief wouldn't take risks?There is no risk in strategy, but occasionally in tactics.

The [-]-strong Jinglue army crossed the Qilian Mountains, made a detour to the border of Shanzhou, and plundered the rear of Tubo to cooperate with the main force. Is this not an adventure?If you are besieged by the enemy and you run out of food, that would be great.

Guan Kairun sat on a saddle, spread out the map and looked at it carefully.

On the side of the road are teams of soldiers passing quickly.Every time a battalion passes, there are still a large number of camels and horses, loaded with various supplies.

Zhou Yiyan, who was appointed as the training envoy of the Ganzhou regiment, recruited [-] tribal troops and followed behind with a large number of camels.They are not only reserve auxiliary soldiers, but also can act as cavalry combat.

Zhou, there is no turning back.Lord Wumu's wife and daughter left behind in the city were rewarded to him by the commander. Zhou Yiyan didn't dare not accept them, but once he took them, he would have no way out, and Lord Wumu would not let him go.

"How far is it from Yu Haijun?" Guan Kairun asked You Yi Envoy Yang Yi.

Yang Yi, about thirty people, has a horse face, with a scar on his face, looking ferocious and fierce.And he is indeed more brave in battle, he likes to rush and kill, just like his old man.

"Military envoy, it's not far away, but only twenty miles. There are tribes grazing over there. Gather the cavalry and charge for a while. They will definitely be taken down. There are still horses in the tribe, and there are many infantry in our army. Know how to ride a horse, grab the horse and then charge, and then grab!" Yang Yi said, waving her arms as if she was holding a knife in her hand.

"You gather the [-] cavalry of your own army, and then draw [-] cavalry from the tribal army, and put them under your command. Take down that tribe first. We didn't bring much food and grass, and we urgently need to replenish it. There are [-] cavalry left. It’s yours, but don’t participate in the battle, just cruise around and hunt any fish that slip through the net.”

The prairie is so empty that people can't be seen after walking for ten days and a half.As long as the outer interception line is arranged, the news will not leak out so quickly.

"The last general obeys orders!" Yang Yi left excitedly.

Turn it off and continue to look at the map.

Yuhaijun was built by Tubo, the former city of Longyi in Xihai County of the Han Dynasty, in the area of ​​today's Gangcha Temple.Going north through the Qilian Mountains, you can reach Ganzhou and Suzhou.When Tubo attacked Hexi, an army went north from there.

In fact, from the Qinghai Lake area to the north to Hexi, there are a total of five roads, that is, "the five thieves' roads such as Dadou, Jiankang, Sanshui, and Zhangye in the Nanshan Mountains of Ganzhou". , Sanshui and Zhangye are the first four roads.

Suzhou is the fifth road, "...more than a year old, the Turks had thousands of riders and more than 2000 luggage, invaded Suzhou, and wanted to enter Tuyuhun in the south. (Gongsun) Wu Da led [-] people... rushed to attack, collapsed, squeezed For the Zhangye River."

It is one of the roads from the Jiankang Army in Ganzhou to the Qinghai Lake Fish Navy.

To the east of Yuhaijun is the old county of Linqiang of the Han Dynasty. After passing this abandoned county and going east, you can reach Weirong Army.Sixty miles to the east of the Weirong Army, there is the Baishui Army. The city was built in the fifth year of Kaiyuan, with 4000 soldiers in charge (now Huangyuan).

Sixty li to the east, the Baishui army can reach Linfan City (north of today's Huangzhong County, there was Zhenhai Fort in the Qing Dynasty, and Luo Bu Zang Danjin once raised troops to besiege).Further east of Linfan City is Heyuan Army and Shancheng County.

From Yu Haijun to Heyuan Army, the whole journey is 490 miles, and there are many tribes in the middle. Now they are moving westward and southward one after another, trying to stay away from the battlefield and go to the rear to graze.

Qingtang City is the front line, leaving it to the men to fight the enemy.It is the right way for women and children to move their cattle and sheep to the rear to graze.

Theoretically, it is true, the Tang Dynasty has tens of thousands of troops stationed in the area of ​​Xingxiu Sea, with banners covering the sky and the sun, and its power is astonishing. If women, children, and livestock are not moved to the rear, the men can't fight with peace of mind, but...

Under the blue sky, white clouds are blooming and wild flowers are blooming.

The large group of cavalry held horned bows, and the rain of arrows came like locusts.The hundreds of Tubo cavalry who stood in front of them only resisted for a moment before being submerged in the bushes of war horses.

Holding a horse spear, Yang Yi caught up with a Tubo family who was fleeing back with his horse. With a light poke, the enemy immediately fell off the horse.

Baihu didn't die for a while, just stood up staggeringly, several riders rushed towards him, couldn't dodge in time, and was directly knocked out.

Five hundred cavalry soldiers of the Jinglue Army led two thousand Ganzhou Uyghur, Longjia, Tuyuhun, and Tatar tribal troops as the vanguard, and raided and killed along the lush Huangshui River.

The tribes of Tubo are moving, and Jing Zhuang has been drawn to the area north of Qingtang City, trying to lure the Tang army to go deep and annihilate them in one battle.Except for a few soldiers and horses left behind, almost all of them are old and weak-of course, there are also large herds of cattle and sheep.

The Tubo people know their weaknesses, so they plan to transfer the old and the weak to the areas of Fuqi City, Shudun City, and Jingbian Town.

Fucheng City, the capital city of Tuyuhun, is not small in scale. After being repaired by Tang and Tuyu, it still looks a bit decent and can accommodate many people. It is near Shi Naihai Town on the west bank of Qinghai Lake.

Shudun City, the former capital of Tuyuhun, is located on the southeast bank of Qinghai Lake, near today's Chahan City.In the Tuyuhun era, a big city was built here and the embankment of the lake was built here. Now it has been dilapidated, but it has a somewhat defensive effect.

Jingbian Town, in present-day Guide County, Zhenguan Zhongzhi Town, expanded the city in the second year of Yifeng, set up Jishi Army, and managed 7000 soldiers.The city is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and Dajian in the west. The situation is dangerous and the city belongs to Kuozhou.

On the opposite bank in the northwest of Hebei, there is the Ningbian Army, which was placed by Ge Shuhan, and it is the corner of the Jishi Army.

The area of ​​Jishi Army and Ningbian Army leads to Kuozhou in the east, and is divided into Dahe and Shan; in the southwest to Jiuqu, it is a land of excellent horse herding; in the west, it reaches Dafeichuan.The land is fertile and the agricultural products are abundant. During the Kingdom of China, it was the transportation center of the upper source of the Yellow River.There is a seven-level pagoda in Duofu Temple in the city, which is a famous Buddhist city in the west of the country (Gao Shi once wrote a poem).

The large-scale transfer of the old and the weak, cattle and sheep by the Tibetans will of course cause a lot of confusion.And because he was in a marching state, it was very difficult to be caught, and he was basically dead.

Yang Yi rushed into a tribe that was being transferred, and slashed and killed wantonly.

The tribal army from Hexi was particularly brutal. When they saw men, they would kill them with a knife, while women and children surrounded them, and at the same time sent people to gather cattle, sheep and horses.

For the steppe people, women, children, and livestock are property, and adult men are competitors.Therefore, if the Shangguan did not restrain them, anyone who was higher than the wheel could be killed, and then the women would be snatched home to enjoy, and they would have children for themselves, and the children would be raised as slaves.

This is the naked law of the jungle, the jungle preys on the strong.Today's Central Plains also has a bit of this taste. In troubled times, the big soldiers like to kill the enemy's men, and then take their wives and daughters home.Don't talk about chaste women, women in this era, no matter in the grasslands or in the Central Plains, are not much better than things. After a woman's husband is killed, she changes hands a few times and bears children for different men everywhere.

The ethos of the Tang Dynasty is quite different from the Southern Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties when ritual education flourished. Strictly speaking, it is a bit "hu". The legacy of the Northern Dynasties is really unusual.

After a round of fighting, seeing that the resistance of the Tubo people had completely collapsed, Yang Yi sent people to restrain the troops and not allow any more massacres.

Women and children are certainly not the spoils of these tribal armies.Livestock can divide some of them to improve enthusiasm.In the future, if there is another rebellion in the Hehuang area, it will be easier to summon all the ministries in Hexi to go south.

In the same way, if Shao Shude really ruled the land of Hehuang, when there was a rebellion in the Hexi states, he could also mobilize Hehuang Tubo and Qiang people to go north and plunder the Uyghur, Dangxiang, Longjia, Tuyuhun and other tribes.

If Hexi and Hehuang revolt together...

Uh, this matter is a bit troublesome, and a large army needs to be mobilized to conquer it.Of course, the tribes of Hetao and Yinshan can also follow and make a fortune.

When it comes to walking a tightrope and striking a balance among the Tibetan tribes, Marshal Shao has done his part. He thinks that the country is number one, and he hasn't played it off yet.As for whether he will play off in the future, let's talk!
"Leave a part of the escorted goods, dingkou, cattle and sheep, and hand over to the infantry. The rest, continue to search and move forward. In this Hehuang grassland, we will not leave a blade of grass! Go west and kill!" After finishing everything, Yang Yi He got on his horse again, and with two thousand riders, he went west like a gust of wind.

At this time, in Weirong Army City, Zhang Huaishen and Long Jiu were sitting opposite each other and drinking.

The Yumen Army has more than [-] soldiers, all cavalry soldiers, and now they are all heading east, towards the direction of the Baishui Army.

The [-] cavalry soldiers of the Guiyi Army defeated a Tubo tribe in the area of ​​the Weirong Army, and captured thousands of Dingkou and more than [-] cattle and sheep.

Zhang Huaishen now feels more and more that the King of Lingwu County fights like a barbarian, but the art of war is the purest Han Chinese art of war.

Use Zhenghe to win with Qi, and Zheng Qi complements each other. It is clearly written in "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

The king of Lingwu County has read the book of war clearly and thoroughly.Know yourself and the enemy, make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses.Don't want to be overwhelmed by surprises, just solid victories.

The frontal main force is thick and dignified, well-trained, so you have to go all out.Afterwards, relying on the large number of soldiers and horses, several divisions were separated, and hundreds of miles of detours were made to harass your rear and shake your army's morale.

As soon as your main force on the front line is shaken, he will start to squeeze forward, and then use all kinds of bad tricks, such as recruiting, alienating, and buying, to further weaken your morale.In the end, the whole army will press on and fight you decisively, will you fight or not?
That's the trick I played when I went to Liangzhou, and now I'm still playing it in Hehuang!Everyone can guess it, but it's really hard to break.

The most elite and thickest main force of the Chinese army in the Shuofang Army is actually a fucking cover!It is very stable, with deep trenches and high fortresses. If you don't fight waves, it will oppress you and keep you from being distracted.

This man is likely to be laughed to death by many young and energetic generals when he fights a war, but in a real fight, you will feel very difficult to deal with.Like a tortoise, there are very few flaws, and it will not cause unmanageable defeat or fiasco.

Be invincible first, and wait for the enemy to be victorious!The king of Lingwu County must have read military books and understood this sentence deeply.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has the essence of every sentence, but there are very few that can be used flexibly.

"The king of Lingwu Commandery ordered me to station troops here to search and suppress the old and weak of the Tubo tribes. Let's see what the next move of Tubo will be. The three-way army has detoured for hundreds of miles. Now, they should be very passive." Zhang Huai took a deep breath. After taking a bite of mutton, I felt that the sheep in Hehuang were not as delicious as those in Hexi, so I put down my chopsticks and said.

"That's good." In fact, Long was not very relieved to let the Yumen army go out to take risks, and he just went down the donkey when he heard the words, and said.

On this journey, Zhang Huaishen was the commander and he was the deputy envoy.If Zhang Huaishen didn't give the order, Long would not dare to let the Yumen army come back, for fear that someone from Zhang would sue his in-laws.

There is another road to the west, where Guan Kairun, the envoy of the Jinglue Army, led tens of thousands of Fan Han soldiers.According to the latest news, there have been many gains.

It is reported that there is still a road to the east, mainly silver guns.I haven't been in touch yet, so I don't know what they are doing.But with the virtues of these Uyghurs, burning, killing and looting will not be lenient.

And the main force of the Commander-in-Chief of Lingwu County is still camping in Xingxiu Sea, constantly inviting the heads of Tubo tribes to join the alliance.

What alliance?Isn't it just losing sincerity?It sounds so nice.

The Tubo people don't know how to arrange their troops this time, so they probably will have a headache.
