Chapter 724 Advancing, Attacking, Retreating, Defensive, Invincible (Part [-])
Chapter [-]: Advancing, Attacking, Retreating, Defensive and Invincible (Second Update)
On the road from Luobu Rula Valley to Yecheng, more than [-] people formed a long dragon.These Han Chinese slaves who were captured by the Tubo were struggling towards Yecheng.

Although the cold wind is like a knife, it hurts like a knife when it blows on the face.The cold wind howled in the ears like ghosts crying and wolves howling, but these refugees gritted their teeth and moved forward with difficulty.

Suddenly there was a small commotion in the team.A gray-haired woman fell down on the ground, beating her legs with her hands, and howling, "Oh my mother, I'm too tired to walk. Just let my old lady die here!"

The people around shook their heads without even looking at the woman.It is said that a woman of this age is of no use in Tubo, and has long been thrown to Ao Quan to feed her.But this woman lived well. She was robbed by the Tibetans from Wudu County to Tibet in the ninth year of Daye.

But this old woman has a unique skill, which is to deliver babies.Although her life in Tubo these years was not good, she was well fed and warmly dressed.However, none of these people sympathized with her, allowing her to sit on the ground and howl.

A soldier of the Beiwei army, a captain of the migratory army with his arms hanging, walked up to the woman and shouted, "Can you still go, don't go, get out of the way, don't block the way!"

Hearing the words of the black-faced captain, the old woman stopped crying, she hurriedly got up and caught up with the team in front.

The people around who were originally looking tired also gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward.

Looking at this scene, the black-faced Beiwei army sergeant heaved a sigh of relief.Chen Ying knows that human nature is evil, and it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.When doing anything, don't be overwhelmed with sympathy. Once you are too arrogant, you can't do anything!

Jiang Xingba was originally a personal soldier of Jiang Baoyi, the general of the Zuotong Army and Youwuwei of the Tang Dynasty.During the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou in the second year of Wude, he was captured alive by Huang Ziying, a general under Liu Wuzhou's command after his defeat, and was killed by Liu Wuzhou because he refused to surrender.After Jiang Baoyi's defeat, Jiang Xingba was ready to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Liu Wuzhou. He never thought that Liu Wuzhou would be defeated and killed by Chen Ying, so Jiang Xingba surrendered to Chen Ying.

Later, when the Beiwei Army was formed, Jiang Xingba became a member of the Beiwei Army because of his high skill.In previous battles, Jiang Xingba was exceptionally brave, and was gradually promoted to be the captain of the Ninth Regiment.However, in the battle a month ago, Jiang Xingba was hit in the arm by a Tubo general with a mace, and he became the most injured general in the Beiwei Army.

There was no way, Jiang Xingba became the chief person in charge of the people who migrated this time.It is not an easy task to govern 20 people.This gave Jiang Xingba, who was originally a company-level officer, a headache.

Jiang Xingba didn't understand why Chen Ying made things difficult for these poor people at first.It wasn't until now that he realized that these people would grit their teeth and move forward as long as they were ruthless.

If you meet someone who can't walk, give him a horse.So no matter whether they can walk or not, they all want a horse that can walk, and even if they can walk, they will pretend that they can't walk.

Not to mention that Liu Tong didn't have so many horses under his command, even if he had so many war horses, more than [-] war horses were abolished because there was no fodder to feed them.Once a large number of war horses are lost, the Beiwei army will be defeated. Only God knows how many of these more than [-] people will survive!

Qipan Valley is a valley that passes through the north and south of Kunlun Mountains. It is a veritable labyrinth. Those who have not come here will definitely be stunned.But after passing Qipan Valley here, the road below will be much easier.

But at this time, the refugees were at the end of their ropes, their speed was much slower than expected, and because they had dried meat and milk bricks in their hands, most of them had no food.

Looking at the endless desert, these people are desperate.

"Don't go, don't go, kill me, I won't go!"

The people who arrived one after another looked at the endless rolling yellow sand in the north. They had neither water nor dry food. Walking into the desert was almost like committing suicide.Originally, these people had a goat, but the skinny goat was either killed and eaten, or it had already become food in their stomachs.

The people were so hungry that they were so hungry that they were so weak that they didn't run around clamoring because they were suppressed by the whip of the back Wei army.The captain who led the team was also very aware of this point, even though he had traveled more than ten miles from Zhechong Mansion, he didn't dare to push too much, otherwise these people would rebel.

Jiang Xingba roared: "Isn't there a river ahead called the Yarkand River? When we get to the Yeqiang River, we will have a way to survive!"

"Ghost knows how far the Ye Qiang River is!"

"Brothers and sisters, work harder, let's move forward, and when we reach Yecheng, we will have something to eat!" Jiang Xingba said again.

These common people responded to Jiang Xingba feebly, without cheering. They heard too many empty promises like this, and they didn't take it seriously anymore.Jiang Xingba was also very helpless about this.He also wants to have enough food and drink for himself. Liu Tong has already told Chen Ying to give him a promotion. In the future, he will be promoted to be the captain of Zhechong, and he will be in charge of more than [-] people.Now if there is only a mistake in this migration, he may be a little bit suspended for being promoted this time due to merit.

But the dry food has already been eaten up, and there is not much drinking water left.Jiang Xingba murmured and cursed: "Damn Tibetans!"

At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

These people looked weakly at the dust and smoke rising in the distance.All the Han people gathered instinctively, some of them were holding wooden spears, some were holding a machete, a bit too laborious, they threw away the cowhide shields, and now they all regret it.

Jiang Xingba wanted to cry very much at this moment, now that they were exhausted, even a small Turkic cavalry could kill Qipangu with blood flowing into rivers.

Jiang Xingba pulled out his knife and shouted with difficulty: "Brothers and sisters, if you still want to be slaves, just sit still obediently. As long as you don't surrender, the enemy may not kill you!"

Hearing these words, these Han slaves who were originally dead-faced slowly reacted.

They are all slaves of the Tubo people, and they have had enough of the dark days.

"Fight with them, fight with them!"

These commoners screamed, holding their weapons with great difficulty.Inadvertently, a strong murderous aura filled the entire space.

Soon the cavalry was getting faster and faster, and their distance was getting closer.

Gradually, it became clear that these cavalrymen were wearing strange clothes that looked like cloaks, but wrapped their whole bodies in them.

However, what excited Jiang Xingba the most was that the black-clothed cavalry had a big "Tang" written on its flag.

These knights in black galloped by the side of the road, galloping their horses and yelling in a strong Guanzhong or Henan dialect: "Everyone, please stand by the side of the road and give way, our troops will arrive soon, please stand up Make way to the side of the road, let us go first!"

When these people were looted, Datang had not yet appeared.However, the Beiwei army used its own military flag to operate in Tubo, and did not say that it was the Tang army.These suffocated commoners cursed one after another: "You bastard, I beg you to give up your hammer!"

"You bastard, let me make way for you? How old are you!"

"Your mother, don't think that riding a horse is a must. I won't let you. What can you do?"

"That's right, if you don't let it go, you won't let it go!"

……

The black-clothed knight didn't get angry either, and rode his horse straight to Jiang Xingba. He didn't get off his horse to salute, but just cupped his fists and asked, "This general must be the top general of this army, right?"

Jiang Xingba looked at the military salute made by the black knight, and immediately understood that this was Chen Ying's part.

Jiang Xingba said loudly: "I don't dare to be a general, but Jiang Xingba, the captain of the Ninth Regiment of the Wei Army!"

"Let your people get out of the way and set up camp on the spot. There are more than 300 miles of desert ahead, and you can't get through without sufficient preparations!" The black cavalry said: "It's better to be prepared and go together!"

Jiang Xingba breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The chief guard is here?"

The black-clothed cavalry nodded. "The chief guard is here. It's about fifty miles away from here. Hurry up and get some ice from the mountain. We only brought food, not enough water!"

...Chen Ying thought that this time the great migration of 20 people would be a journey of bones and corpses strewn all over the field.

When Chen Ying learned from Jiang Xingba that the total number of people who died of freezing, starvation, and disease along the way would not exceed a thousand, Chen Ying was finally relieved.

"You did a very good job!" Chen Ying looked at Jiang Xing who was hanging his arms and said domineeringly: "You are!"

"Mo...humble Jiang Xingba, aiming to be the lieutenant of the Ninth Regiment of the Wei Army!" Jiang Xingba seemed a little excited when he saw Chen Ying for the first time.

Compared with the middle and lower rank officers of the Tang Army, Chen Ying is their idol.Although Li Jing has a good record, he has become the current King of Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty.However, Li Jing has a good family background and a high starting point.However, Chen Ying's identity as a descendant of Hou Mo's Chen family was only circulated in the noble circles of the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary soldiers took Chen Ying as an example.

After all, Chen Ying was promoted from a small soldier to the second rank of the Western Regions General Protector in just five years.

Chen Ying looked at Jiang Xing and said domineeringly: "Now you will leave the Beiwei Army and immediately take up the post of governor of Yezhou and general manager of soldiers and horses of Yezhou!"

Yezhou was only discovered by Chen Ying after he arrived in Yecheng County.

The area of ​​Ye County is really too big, and the whole county has been walked for three days without going out.In terms of area alone, this Yecheng County is almost the size of Jingzhao Mansion. As a county, it is too large. Chen should take the leaves of Yeerqiang City County on the spot and build a new state.

The sixth-rank school lieutenant was promoted from the fourth-rank and one-state supervisor, which was also a three-level promotion.

Jiang Xingba was very happy.

However, after he was happy, he suddenly realized: "General Protector, when did Tang Dynasty have a Yezhou?"

"It wasn't there before, but now it is!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly.

Only then did Jiang Xingba realize that Chen Yinglin just created a new state on a whim.

Chen Ying pointed to the huge sand table in the carriage and said: "Yezhou is bounded by Xiye City in the north and Luobu Rula in the south, and six counties are established: Xiye, Kexian, Shache, Yexian, Qipan, and Luobu. The county seat is your own Jian, you choose the county magistrate yourself, but there is one thing, from the county magistrate to the county lieutenant, even any village chief must be our own!"

Jiang Xing said domineeringly: "The last general will never let down Chen Dadu's trust!"

Chen Ying suddenly discovered that most of the grasslands in Yecheng County are very suitable for reclamation.Here, until later generations, it has been a restricted area for the Han people. Here, the Han people are an absolute minority. However, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there are no fewer than 5000 recorded migrations of Han people, but the number of Han people here is less than [-].

Where have these people gone, in fact, is easy to answer.was killed!

Yecheng County has fertile land, lush pastures, and the Yarkand River for irrigation, which is very suitable for human survival.In such a place, there is no reason for the Han people to move away from their homes.

Now that Chen Ying is here, there is no reason to leave.

Of course, Chen Ying eventually discovered that as long as he crossed the Qipan Valley in Kunlun Mountains, he could directly reach the snow plains in Tubo.

In history, Datang's only mistake was to counterattack Tubo, and the only way was Dafeichuan.Moreover, on this road, Tubo has built more than a dozen passes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the stone castle. The Tang Dynasty fought for more than ten years and failed to take it down, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here.

But now it is different, as long as they arrive at Luobu Rula along the Qipan Valley, the Tang army can follow the Kunlun Mountains and follow the trend, like the Milky Way pouring out.

Therefore, Chen Ying decided to start running Yezhou.

As long as Yezhou manages well, Datang will be invincible in the Western Regions!
Chen Ying sent cavalry to go west along the Qipan Valley, and after fifty or sixty li, they went down the Yarkand River Valley.

On the river embankment, as the carriages arrived slowly, these carts stopped and immediately cooked quickly.

The aroma of meat buns permeated with the steam, and these exhausted people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

can survive.

PS: 200 million words, ready to slaughter!
