The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 912 0: Duan Wuji transports supplies to China again

In the morning of the next day, Wei Zheng got up early. Wei Zheng lay down on the table and began to write a letter to Li Shimin. After finishing the letter, Wei Zheng immediately asked the school to send it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he received Wei Zheng's letter. Li Shimin waved the letter towards the officials, and then said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is really capable! The new spoils arrived just after those spoils were brought back.

If this battle continues for a long time, I will no longer be the chief supervisor of logistics support, but instead become the chief dispatcher of the return of materials.

Their three-way army does not need me to supply a cart of food and grass, but instead transports the continuous supply of supplies back to the country. This is really beyond my expectations!

General Tieniu and General Li Jing also sent letters just now, and they all have supplies to transport back!

If this battle is fought for a year, our treasury will not only lose money, but will make a lot of money!

It seems that this war requires capable people!

This capable man can lead thousands of troops and horses. If the capable man is not used, how the battle will be fought, I really dare not say! "

Xu Maogong nodded again and again.

"Your Majesty, it looks like you are really blessed!

There are so many people who will protect you, if our Tang Dynasty is not prosperous, then there is no reason for it!

It seems that Wuji is really a capable person!Since the troops were sent out to fight, only the victories were won, and the horses brought back can arm hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If the fight continues like this for a long time, it will be no wonder that the Northern Turks do not perish! "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Xu Aiqing, what you said is too true. Since I became the throne, I can say that I have worked hard every day, just to make our Great Tang Dynasty prosperous.

If the Northern Turks are destroyed, there will be almost no forces threatening our country's security.

When our country's national strength grows further, we can conquer both Naxi Turks and Goguryeo, which is entrenched in the northeast. Once I level the world, I will really feel at ease.

Since all three teams have sent letters asking to ship things back, then let's hurry up and ship things back, shall we?

Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, you lead [-] riders straight to Marshal Duan and the others, you are familiar with this route, so why don't you go there.

Bai Xian said, now you and General Yang He will lead [-] cavalry to General Duan Tieniu, and you must quickly bring these things back to me.

Zhang Shigui, Li Daozhong, you two generals will also have [-] cavalry, and quickly bring back the things from General Li Jing to me!
There are so many things, their three-way army is tired of these things, and it is inconvenient to attack forward! "

When these three teams were sent out, Li Shimin felt at ease.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I don't know how long this war will last, who knows how far this war will end!

If the war is ceased now, we have already won this war without losing money.

The materials I prepared are basically not used much now!
This battle is really getting more and more interesting! "

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Your Majesty, didn't the duan prince say that he would fight this battle to the end!
To be honest, this prince is too good at using soldiers. He has robbed so many things in the past few days!

If the Northern Turks can really be wiped out, this is really a great thing!

Your Majesty, what do you say! "

Li Shimin grinned when he heard this.

"Of course I will be happy if the Northern Turks can be wiped out. However, I heard that the Northern Turks are too large. It is said that their area extends from the Great Wall in the south to the North Sea in the north! Facing the sea, it has a radius of tens of thousands of miles!

It is said that the territory of the Northern Turks is larger than that of our Tang Dynasty!
If you want to defeat them completely, I am afraid it will not be easy! "

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Your Majesty, although the Northern Turks have a wide area, their area is full of bitter cold, where nothing can grow except weeds?

Their country is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is not too large.

If we can wipe out their vital forces, it will be very difficult if they don't want to subjugate the country. "

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this.

"My brother-in-law has sold horses in that Turkic country many times before, and he knows the situation in that Turkic country quite well.

If he leads the army to fight, that is the most suitable candidate.

How much success he can achieve this time depends on his ability. "

"Your Majesty, you have added more troops to the two armies in the east, and you will not add some troops to the three armies in the west?

As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred yourself. These are the common sense of war, and there is no one who does not know this!

The reason why they didn't ask you to increase your troops is probably because they are too embarrassed to tell you! "

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"Well, what you said is probably true!

In a few days, I will add [-] cavalry to each of the three of them, and let them continue the battle.

Anyway, with so many horses, we have already armed nearly [-] cavalry, and it is time to add some soldiers to them. "

It was already almost noon on the fourth day after the troops sent by the emperor to transport supplies to the country arrived.

Duan Wuji saw that the troops transporting supplies had arrived, and quickly said to Wei Zheng: "Transport all these things to our country, we only have 10,000+ sheep left, and we don't need any other supplies. Wait for these After transporting everything, it’s time for us to get out of camp.”

When Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai saw that there were so many supplies, the two of them counted the number and immediately transported these things directly to the Tang Dynasty.

When Duan Wuji saw that the trophies had been transported to the country, he quickly ordered loudly: "Order the soldiers, brothers, kill all the sheep, boil them into meat, and share the rest except what you eat now. Here, brothers, tomorrow morning we will continue our march."

After receiving Duan Wuji's order, these soldiers began to massacre the flock of sheep, and when the mutton was cooked, they wrapped everything in bundles except for what they were eating.

These soldiers also know that this is their ration for the next few days!

Every soldier is scrambling to pack more mutton, for fear that if there is no food to eat, he will starve himself!

When the sun was about to set, Cheng Yaojin and his team came over with them.

These teams mixed with Duan Wuji's large army, and they also joined the ranks of robbing the mutton.

Duan Wuji looked at Cheng Yaojin and the three of them and said: "Tomorrow morning, we should attack the Turkic residents in the north again.

From my point of view, the three of you should form a group. The three of you are brothers from Jia Restaurant, so the relationship between the three of you should be extraordinary.

It is said that brothers in battle, father and son in battle.

Although the three of you are not blood brothers, the sworn buddies are not much different from blood brothers. "

Cheng Yaojin grinned.

"Marshal Duan, that's fine too.

To tell you the truth, the three of us are quite angry.

This is called ugly or not, one hand.

The three of us are together, and we also have tempers with each other. We all know each other's strength.

Marshal Duan, let's go out tomorrow, do you have any instructions? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of residents in the north, but the population of these settlements is relatively small.

It is best for you to attack one a day, or attack two a day. These settlements are far away. It is best for you to surround the settlements before dawn, and then launch a surprise attack from all sides, which can greatly avoid The casualty rate of our army. "

"Marshal Duan, we will remember your words. In order to avoid casualties, we will follow your instructions."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"I said Cheng Yaojin, if you decide to capture a settlement tomorrow, then you should start in the middle of the night.

Only in this way can the Turkic settlements be completely surrounded before dawn!

If you had acted a little earlier, if you had surrounded the enemy in advance, it would have been much easier to destroy them while the enemy was still asleep. "

After hearing this, Qi Guoyuan quickly asked: "I said Marshal Duan, when are you going to leave?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"We are going to leave soon, and we will leave immediately after Ding Gengtian in more than an hour.

I have already sent people to investigate. There are five settlements in the north of us. The population of these settlements is not very large. Each settlement has only three to four thousand people.

I decided to divide my forces and attack them. In my opinion, we attack four, and you attack one of them.

The settlement near the east is relatively large, with an estimated population of more than 4000. That settlement is called Shawozi settlement.

If you take it down, you can rest for another three or two days.

We have captured the other four settlements, and we will transport things back, so we can continue to attack north.

The total number of residents in these places is more than 2. If we attack them with our [-] tigers and wolves, plus sneak attacks, I guess they won't run away if they are defeated.

General Cheng Yaojin, the three of you should go back and get ready. It's getting dark now, so you have to go ahead, so that you can be sure of winning that huge victory! "

Cheng Yaojin heard this, and immediately led You Junda and Qi Guoyuan out of the camp, and walked straight to his own camp.

After seeing off these three people, Duan Wuji said loudly: "Come on! Beat the drums and gather the generals, I want to assign the task of attacking those few residents!"

With the sound of the three-way drum, all the generals entered the account one after another. After everyone stood up, they obeyed the command of the marshal.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "We have stayed in this place for several days. We eat mutton at home every day. I believe that the spirits of the brothers have rested enough. Now we will lead the army and set off to attack us. These four settlements in the north.

Isn't this route for all the soldiers to explore? Now I will start to divide the troops and send generals. Everyone will act separately, and strive to capture all the residents in these four places tomorrow morning. "
