Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1036

Jiannan.

Along the Longquan River, a tributary of the Fu River, in Beichuan County, Wenshan County.

This place is located on the northwest edge of the Central Shu Basin, and to the west there are continuous mountains, which are the connection between the Central Shu Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The mountains are continuous, dangerous and dangerous.

Not long ago, the 5 army from the Central Plains led by Su Dingfang entered Shu from Jiange.The road to Shu was difficult, and the [-]-strong army came all the way and it was not smooth, but when they arrived at the Jiange, the imperial court issued another edict ordering the withdrawal of the first army.

Only then did Su Dingfang know that the siege of Dafeichuan had been lifted and the Tubo army had withdrawn.

However, the emperor still left an army for Su Dingfang, but the military order has also changed.The emperor's military order changed from sending troops out of Jiannanxi to conquer the Qiangs attached to the Choufan, to recovering the counties and counties captured by the Qiang people in Jiannanxi.

Su Dingfang's position was also adjusted, changing it to the general manager of the Xishan march, and he was given the post of commander of the left governor of Jiannan Road. Originally, the emperor ordered Jiannan, Yunnan, Guizhou, central Bahan, and the four schools to obey his orders, and gave him the privilege of entrusting him with worship. It's also taken away now.

From the aspect of the commander, it has now only become a small military operation on the western border of Jiannan.

Jiange sent away the returning army brother, Su Dingfang took a short rest and led the other army to continue south. When he arrived in Beichuan, there was another news from the court.

It is said that the emperor has agreed to the marriage request of the Tubo people to marry their daughters, and sent a mission to Tubo to meet the princess.

The situation changed dizzyingly.

"Shen Guang pays his respects to Governor Su!"

Beichuan County Government, Shen Guang, Wenshan County Prime Minister, came to see him.

Su Dingfang looked at the magistrate, he was a legend.He used to be the son of an official from the Southern Chen Dynasty. Later, Chen Mie went to Chang'an with his father. His family was too poor to make ends meet, and he relied on his father and brother to copy books to earn money.At that time, Shen Guang had no chance to study anymore, so he hung out in Chang'an City since he was a child, and he quickly became the leader of the bad boys in Chang'an.

In particular, he practiced good kung fu, known as the Flying Meat Fairy, and later even became the boss of the Chang'an rangers, and Shi Wanbao, who was known as the Chang'an hero, each occupied half of Chang'an at the time.

Later, Shen Guang joined the army, participated in the recruitment of the emperor's Xiaoguo army, and became a member of Xiaoguo.In the second battle of Goguryeo, where the emperor personally commanded the battle to break Liaodong City, Shen Guang was eye-catching. He was the first to climb up the tower. He fell from a high city wall, but he didn't die. Instead, he turned over and jumped up again, continuing to climb the city.

The miraculous thing is that in that tragic offensive and defensive battle, Shen Guang was the first to climb up the tower again, and this time he stood his ground, guarding a ladder, and covered the people behind to follow.

In the end, when the Sui army captured Liaodong City, the emperor personally watched the battle and was deeply impressed by Shen Guang. After all, not everyone can be the first to ascend, but it is even more remarkable to be able to ascend twice in a row.

After the war, Shen Guang rose from a heroic army to many ranks in one leap, and became a fifth-rank general directly.

Since then, he has been deeply loved by the emperor, and has always served as the commander of the emperor's personal guard. When Jiangdu changed, Shen Guang had already become the leader of the Xiaoguo army at that time, and commanded one of the troops.When Yu Wenhuaji killed the king, he and Chen Ling were defending against Du Fuwei outside Jiangdu.Li Yuanye escaped from the city, ran to his camp to find Shen Guang and Chen Leng, led his troops back to Jiangdu, defeated the rebels, and took back Jiangdu.

Later, Shen Guang helped Li Yuan return to Chang'an in Guanzhong, but Shen Guang was loyal to the Sui family. Li Yuan tried to win him over several times, but he refused to be loyal. Go to the land of Bashu to appease him, and give him the title of appeasement envoy.

Shen Guang went out of Chang'an and crossed the Qinling Mountains without taking any soldiers, entered the land of Bashu, appeased the counties all the way, and persuaded the counties to surrender to the emperor Yang You of Chang'an, and the effect was very good.

Bashu basically allegiance to Chang'an.

But then Li Yuan sent Dou Gui to Shu, and Shen Guang was seized power.

Later, when Qin destroyed Li Yuan, it was determined by the transmission of Bashu. At this time, Shen Guang was only the governor of Weizhou, and was renamed Wenshan County Chancellor by the imperial court.

At that time, he and Chen Leng supported Li Yuan to fight back to Jiangdu, and later Chen Ling stayed in Jiangdu, and he followed Li Yuan back to Chang'an, but the circumstances of the two were very different.Chen Leng defended Jiangdu for a period of time, and then surrendered to Qin Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Duke of the State and the title of Prince Shaobao.

But now, he is only the prime minister of a frontier county.

The commander in front of him is about the same age as him, but when he became famous in Liaodong City, Luo Cheng was just in his early years. He probably doesn't know where he is, but now he is his boss's boss.

"Cheng Shen, please sit down. I have specially called you here because I know that you have been in Sichuan for several years and know Shuzhong very well. You have also served as the governor of Weizhou and the governor of Wenshan County for several years. You should be more aware of the situation in Jiannanxi. I would like to ask you to inspect it." Shi, the commander of the school, please don't refuse."

This surprised Shen Guang a little.

"I don't know what the purpose of Director Su's trip is?"

"To tell you the truth, the general manager led his troops into Shu this time to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and to break the siege of Dafeichuan. But as soon as the soldiers and horses passed the Jiange, our Qin army won a big victory, and the siege of Dafeichuan was solved. But your majesty only When I was transferred back to the first army, I still gave me an army. The goal of my visit this time is the Qiangs in the Western Mountains. The first thing is to restore the integrity of the prefectures of Shu in the previous dynasty, and take back the places that the Qiang people took during the Sui Dynasty. Come back, and secondly, punish those Qiang Luo who refuse to join us."

Shen Guang admired Su Dingfang's goal when he heard about it.When he entered Shu under Li Yuan's order, he also thought about recovering these frontier lands, but Li Yuan only cared about fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, and blindly asked Shu to send money, food and soldiers to Chang'an, who cares about the upper lands.

"Finally, I still look forward to Master Wang, and Shen Guang is willing to be the forward."

After all, Shen Guang is only a very young general, and the sinking of the past few years is also very bleak, but he is not as entangled in the past as those literati.

The Sui Dynasty has passed with Emperor Ming.

"Okay, then please ask Shen Juncheng to serve as Sima in our army temporarily. You are familiar with the situation in Shu, and you will help formulate the route and plan for dispatching troops."

The two of them quickly worked out a set of plans. First of all, they wanted to go west and take back the fallen cities of Wenshan and Tongchang in the west of Jiangxi.

The autumn wind is blowing, Su Dingfang and Shen Guang vow to set off.

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Jian, who came in a hurry, wanted to stop the attack, "I have already talked with Xifeng Bulai, the patriarch of the Xifeng tribe in Jiacheng County, and he is willing to join the Great Qin and fight against the Tuoba tribe for the Great Qin."

But Su Dingfang said, "This Xifeng Bulai is just a young patriarch, so he may not be able to become the family of the Xifeng tribe. It's better to fight first, and then to be kind."

"You warriors only know how to be warlike. How many people will die when the war starts? How many counties and counties in the south of the sword will be caught in the flames of war? How much food and people will be spent?" Tang Jian ignored Su Dingfang's high rank. "At least let me talk to Ayumi Hosouori first, he is definitely willing to surrender!"

Su Dingfang responded with a smile, and Tang Jian hurried to Jiacheng County.

But after he took a step, Su Dingfang immediately said, "Send troops according to the original plan."

"Su Shuai, Tang Jian has already gone to the Qiang people. If we attack again, won't we put him in danger?"

"Tang Jian is going on his own, and if he goes to the Qiang people, the Qiang people will be negligent, which is in our favor for a surprise attack!"

Su Dingfang really didn't take Tang Jian seriously. He was a general on the battlefield, so he would not listen to a sixth-rank Yuanwailang interfering in the use of troops.
