Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 290 Protection
The urgent order for [-] miles passed through the post station, and it was passed to Du Chuke who was directing the people to sweep the snow in Shanzhou almost immediately.

As for Xihai County, at least it has not become Xihai Prefecture independently, so it is still under the jurisdiction of Shanzhou.

Du Chuke looked at the eight hundred miles urgent order, and immediately sent someone to pass the order to Wang Xuance, and let Wang Xuance decide what to do in this matter.

After all, because King Wei believed in Wang Xuance so much, he also believed in Wang Xuance a little bit.

To be honest, if the Tuyuhun people directly attacked the territory of the Tang Dynasty, then Du Chuke, as the main state, would not fight at the frontier, then Du Chuke could fight as he wanted, and he could make his own decisions.

But this time it involved Tuyuhun, a country where the main force of the Tang Dynasty had just been hammered, and Khan, who had just been supported by the Tang Dynasty, was assassinated, so it was inconvenient for Du Chuke, who was at the border, to manage it directly.

After all, what is the housekeeper's policy? Even Du Chuke, who likes to be assertive, can't decide. Maybe the court likes the current chaotic Tuyuhun!

So after Du Chuke knew the news, he would report it to Li Shimin.

After all, Du Chuke was not a military commander. If the military commander cares about him so much, he should put down the rebellion first.

But now that the imperial court finally issued an order, Du Chuke was relieved, at least he could prepare with peace of mind.

The order given by the imperial court is for Wang Xuance to lead troops to support Nuohebo, and he can be advised first, and if anyone does not obey the order, he can play by ear, but there is only one thing, the safety of Nuohebo must be guaranteed.

But Du Chuke didn't make any amendments to the edict, and sent it directly to Wang Xuance.

When Wang Xuance received the mission, he immediately called for Xue Rengui, and asked, "How is the training of Xuefu soldiers?"

Because the members of this group of government soldiers were not from farmers, but all from agricultural colleges, they were called Xuefu soldiers.

"Wang Junling has an important enemy coming, our school soldiers can already endure the wind and snow, enough to fight anyone on this plateau!" Xue Rengui assured Wang Xuance confidently.

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Wang Xuance nodded and handed over the edict in his hand to Xue Rengui!

Xue Rengui frowned at the edict and said, "You want us to protect the prince of Tuyuhun?"

To be honest, Xue Rengui was very annoying to see Tuyuhun.

Think back to when Li Tai arranged several killing moves for Tuyuhun, but the opponent disappeared without even breaking through the ice passage.

It made me finally go to the battlefield, but I didn't get much military exploits!
"You don't seem to really want to protect the prince of Tuyuhun?" Wang Xuance raised his head when he heard Xue Rengui's words.

"It's just that I don't like it!" Xue Rengui sighed,

"But since this is an edict sent by the Holy Spirit, I will naturally abide by it and find a way to protect him!"

"Actually, we also have another option. You wait a moment, I'll get the map!"

Wang Xuance said that he brought the map of the surrounding forces in Qinghai in the past, and the forces occupied by Tuyuhun were divided into dozens of parts.

"This...you made it these days?" Xue Rengui looked at Wang Xuance, quite surprised for a moment.

"I just want to check how many languages ​​there are in this area, and then let the guide roughly divide the forces that use this language.

Then I slowly discovered that in the land around Qinghai, although the main language is Tuyuhun, there are at least dozens of languages ​​that I have come into contact with. Fortunately, it is not difficult to learn. "

Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief, "Learning a sphere of influence that marked the language, I made this map without knowing it, but this is mainly divided according to the language, not according to the respective sphere of influence.

So there may be some discrepancies here. "

"But at least the labels on these cities are correct!" Xue Rengui's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but feel that he was so right for not taking the liberal arts route.

Think about people like Wang Xuance who were born in Mingjing, not the Jinshi Department, so what kind of pervert is the Jinshi Department?

For a while, Xue Rengui felt that he should honestly follow the path of martial arts!
"These are not so much cities as they are areas where the grassland tribes avoid the wind and snow in winter!"

Wang Xuance said, "After all, they mainly focus on grassland farming and animal husbandry, and they don't need to farm like us Han people.

Basically, after winter, they will leave these sheltered areas from wind and snow and continue to graze cattle and sheep. "

"Oh?!" Xue Rengui became excited when he heard Wang Xuance's words, and said to Wang Xuance,
"The meaning of the king's command is to let me lead the troops to attack these places, and then encircle Wei to save Zhao and rescue Nuohebo?"

"Siege Wei and save Zhao?" Wang Xuance said after hearing Xue Rengui's words, "I mean, if we wipe out the other party, then we don't need to work hard to protect that Prince Tuyuhun!"

"Is it really good to do this?" Xue Rengui hesitated when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"Then you plan to spill the blood and lives of our Tang soldiers on this land in vain in order to protect the foreign prince?"

Seeing the hesitation in Xue Rengui's tone, Wang Xuance couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Any hesitation must be due to insufficient price.

"This..." Xue Rengui couldn't help hesitating when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"Secondly, if we protect each other, there will be an extra weakness for no reason. Do we need this?" Wang Xuance asked.

"It doesn't seem to be..." Facing Wang Xuance's words, Xue Rengui became more and more shaken.

"So, the best way for us to protect each other is to kill his enemies!" Wang Xuance said,

"The most important thing is that as long as we do this before we stand in line with Noah Bo, then his enemies will not guard against us."

"But aren't you afraid that Nuohebo was killed before this?" Xue Rengui worried.

"The main forces of Nuohebo are basically concentrated on Longju Island in Qinghai, because as one of the conditions for surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun needs to pay tribute to Qinghai Cong to the Tang Dynasty every year.

The prime minister, King Xuan, was also the mastermind behind the assassination of Murong Fushun this time, and the core of his power was in Fucheng City.

And our task is to go around the entire southern side of Qinghai, go straight to Fuqi City, and solve the rebellion of King Xuan! "

Pointing to the map, Wang Xuance explained to Xue Rengui.

"You are quite clear about the situation in this place!" Xue Rengui couldn't help complaining.

Wang Xuance said: "The news of the assassination of King Tuyuhun, who just took office this year, was reported to Du Biejia by me.

The fact that this alien prince can persist for such a long time without dying, and continues to guard on Longju Island, shows that he still has the ability!
Now the river freezes over in winter, and the horses of the Tuyuhun people can travel freely to and from Longju Island. If the ice on the West Sea melts in spring, it will be uncertain! "

Xue Rengui wanted to complain when he heard this, but he didn't know how to complain.

However, Wang Xuance continued, "The only thing I am worried about now is whether our Tang soldiers will be able to march around Qinghai in winter! If not, we'd better be on the safe side and go directly to Longju Island and serve as bodyguards for Nuohebo."

"No? How could it not be possible! Do you think my winter military training is for nothing?" Xue Rengui said with a serious expression,
"Relying on the talent of self-adaptation, whether it is the miasma on the plateau or the current snowstorm, what are these!"

Wang Xuance was filled with righteous indignation: "Very well, then let's go directly to Fucheng City and teach that King Xuan a lesson.

Let him know that even if it is a dog of our Datang, not everyone can kill it without the consent of our Datang people.

Not to mention the alien Khan who was just established by our Tang Dynasty this year, he dared to kill him! "

"That's right, if you don't give us Datang face like this, it will naturally make him regret it for the rest of his life!"

Xue Rengui also responded from the side, and suddenly Xue Rengui reacted, saying,
"Us? Commander Wang, are you going too?"

"Of course, do you know Tuyuhun dialect? Can you talk to people in Tuyuhun? More importantly, do you think I can't go to the battlefield?" Wang Xuance looked at Xue Rengui and said.

"No, aren't you the magistrate of Xihai County? Can you easily leave the jurisdiction?" Xue Rengui couldn't help being stunned.

"In the fifth year of Daye, Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty broke up the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and set up counties in his hometown, among which Xihai County governed the former capital of Tuyuhun, Fuqi City, and led the two counties of Xuande and Weiding.

In other words, the current Fucheng City has belonged to Xihai County since ancient times. My Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system, but gave a part of Xihai County to the Tuyuhun people.

You said that as the commander of Xihai County, I don't care if I get them! "

Wang Xuance spoke uprightly, with that blushing look, it was obvious that he had already found an excuse!
"Er...er..." Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty was used to describe the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui felt that he could not justify Wang Xuance since he could find a basis for it.

For the first time, Xue Rengui knew the benefits of reading more books.

He really didn't think that he was going to attack the Tuyuhun people by himself, but how Wang Xuance said that he was exercising his rights as the commander of Xihai County, and governing the troubles of foreigners in his own land.

As the saying goes, when the book is in use, there is less hatred. Facing Wang Xuance's open mouth and closed mouth since ancient times, Xue Rengui found that he really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

No matter in name or function, bringing Wang Xuance is only beneficial and not harmful!
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui sighed helplessly, looked at Wang Xuance and said:

"Then follow what the Wangjun Order said, but if you march to fight a war, please ask the Wangjun Order to focus on military discipline and not violate it.

After all, marching in the snow is an extremely risky thing, so please don't cause accidents for no reason. "

"Please rest assured, general, I will definitely abide by the general's military order and will never interfere with the general during the march!"

Facing Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance replied seriously.

To be honest, Wang Xuance didn't want to interfere with Xue Rengui, because he didn't know whether he had the ability to command the army, although Wang Xuance didn't seem to be very difficult.

At least compared to the management of cattle and sheep going up the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, commanding the army is really not difficult.

And Xue Rengui looked at Wang Xuance and said, "If you are marching in the snow, you need vehicles for snow marching first. Unfortunately, time is urgent. Otherwise, if you follow the method of King Yan and use sleds to march, I believe it will be much easier!"

"You mean a sled... I've seen this kind of thing in Youzhou.

I also want to get it after winter here, but unfortunately, I finally gave up! "

Wang Xuance heard Xue Rengui's words, but said helplessly.

"Why?" Xue Rengui couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said, "This thing is very convenient for walking in the snow!"

"I know, but there are not enough dogs!" Wang Xuance said, "First of all, we need to find dogs that live in this ghostly place, and secondly, the most important thing is how many people there were when we came here.

I've been so busy working on the ranch this year, I don't have time to get a dog farm. I'll make up for it next year! "

"Then we can only use horses to march in the snow!" Xue Rengui said helplessly, "Are there enough horses here?"

Wang Xuance said: "War horses are definitely not enough, after all, this ranch has only just started operation.

You also know who the king of Wei bought these animals from.

And from them, do you think there are still war horses left for me? "

"Aren't there enough war horses!?" Xue Rengui felt a little desperate, and couldn't help saying,
"You don't intend to let our war horses carry our weapons and its food across the West Sea, it's to send them to die!"

"Why are you excited!" Wang Xuance said with a calm expression, but he said in a calm manner,

"The war horses are only those that your soldiers own. At most, I use the cotton cloth I have in reserve to protect these war horses from the cold. Anyway, there are no more.

But for the poor horses, I can prepare two horses for you, one to carry the food for the horses, and the other to carry your food and equipment.

Let's talk about it, we need five days to cross the West Sea to reach Fucheng City and take it down.

Otherwise, we should still have food, but the war horses may not have food to eat! "

"Five days? How far is Fucheng City from our current location!" Xue Rengui said seriously.

"More than 150 miles, but less than [-] miles!" Wang Xuance said roughly.

"Three days, three days, my school soldiers will arrive at Fucheng City!" Xue Rengui said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll go down and prepare, and I'll leave tomorrow!" Wang Xuance took a deep breath and said to Xue Rengui.

And on the second day, the weather looked gray and not very good.

But Wang Xuance arranged the affairs of Xihai County, and sent a letter to Du Chuke in Shancheng, informing himself and Xue Rengui of going to rescue Prince Tuyuhun according to the edict, and asked Du Chuke to send someone to assist the stability of Xihai County .

Du Chuke looked at the letter sent by Wang Xuance, full of confusion,
"Isn't Xue Rengui and his soldiers enough to protect Tuyuhunnuohebo? Why does Wang Xuance have to go there?"
