Jinyi Night Walk

Due to his health, Song Sheng has not been promoted for a long time. His second son Song Hu and his third son Song Ying are now mainly in charge of military affairs in the Northwest. Today, under the favor of Duke Fu Xia Xun, he rushed to Gansu Town to have a wedding banquet. The officials were able to meet in the handsome tent

Song Sheng didn't wear a military uniform today, nor did he sit behind the commander-in-chief. Instead, he set up a table with two seats in front of the commander-in-chief, and sat side by side with Xia Xun. Sit upright, eyes straight.Xia Xun stared blankly, seeing that the generals were not pretentious. This kind of stern military might is a habit he had developed for a long time, so he nodded secretly: "Song Cheng is really good at governing the Western Regions. Huo!"

Song Sheng is introducing Xiliang Defense to Xia Xun. He has already walked ahead of Xia Xun in many things. He is doing what Xia Xun thought of, and he is doing what Xia Xun didn't expect. This is a real famous soldier from the army. He has been operating in the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and he is familiar with every castle, village, mountain and river here. It is only natural that he thinks more thoughtfully than Xia Xun. Sheng is really useless, so it is impossible for him to sit in Xiliang for so long.

Xia Xun is very pleased. Since he became an official, he has experienced many dangers and difficulties. There are very few people who can help him share so many things. Stumbling, this time, the enemy he faced was stronger than any enemy he had ever conquered before, but with such a veteran around, he was really at ease.

"In the past ten years, there have been few strong enemies outside of Gansu and Liang, and defense has been more important than conquest. In the past ten years, Gansu's frontier defense has mainly relied on strong defenses such as fortresses, side walls, beacons, and passes to build layers of defense. Therefore, there are few cavalry, There are many infantry. According to the imperial court's regulations, in areas where the frontier army is short of food, there can be fewer soldiers and more soldiers. However, the water conservancy facilities in the northwest of my country have been developed over the years. The land is fertile and the output is rich enough to support soldiers. The proportion of soldiers is higher than that of other places, and the ratio of soldiers and troops is about eighty-two..."

Xia Xun nodded again and again, and Song Cheng coughed twice, and continued: "After learning that Tie Mu'er will march eastward, the commander has ordered all guards and offices to strengthen rectification, reiterated the military order, and at the same time sent some unreliable soldiers due to their beliefs. Clean out the important passes and transfer them to the rear. If the imperial court wants to send another large army, the existing forts, side walls, beacons, and passes can be accommodated with a little expansion.

In the past ten years, although there are not many opportunities to go out, the commander has not slackened in the training of Ganliang Jingqi. The total number of Ganliang Jingqi is now around 3. This is not the commander boasting, this is a veteran soldier !The soldiers are good but not many, such elite soldiers can play a huge role with [-] cavalry, not to mention the addition of [-] elite cavalry brought by the Duke..."

Because it was in the commander's tent, discussing business affairs in front of the generals, Song Sheng did not call Xia Xun brothers, but spoke according to the ranks in the army: "The cavalry brought by the Duke, the commander can send someone to lead, from now on Strengthen training from the beginning, and be familiar with the geography of Xiliang. The first text} This commander thought that when Tie Muer was going on an expedition, we would wait for work at leisure, and occupy the geographical advantage.

Xia Xun said happily: "What Song Shuai said is exactly what I want! To defend against the enemy outside the border wall, it doesn't have to be a head-on attack. We have a solid border defense, why abandon it and not use it? He sticks to the wood Since we dared to invade, we just took advantage of the nourishing frontier fortifications for many years to inflict the greatest trauma on the enemy with the least casualties! Hehe, in the past, Song Shuai captured the Duke of Mongolia alive and besieged King Hami. I was still worried that Shuai Song would get old and become stronger, and he would repeat his old tricks this time."

Hearing Xia Xun mention his most proud two battles back then, Song Sheng couldn't help but smile, waved his hands and said, "Hey, the hero doesn't mention his bravery in the past! Besides, this stickman is not a person who can stab everyone in red and Wu Nashili." In comparison."

When the invading enemy fights with the defending army, the attacking party must suffer more sacrifices than the defending party. If you have a strong fortress, you should make good use of it.Xia Xun and Song Sheng's heads were not kicked by the donkey again, and they had to play chivalry with others. The two people's opinions coincided with each other.

The two discussed military matters again, and after hearing the reports from the generals of the guards, they refunded the money to the Houya.In fact, the purpose of raising the account this time was mainly to allow Xia Xun, the prison officer, to meet with the generals of the various NG regiments to get to know each other, and there was no other purpose.After arriving at Houya's study room, Xia Xun asked, "Brother, don't lose the lands of Bali and Hami, which also belong to my Ming Dynasty, but are outside Jiayuguan. What is the current situation in these places?"

Song Sheng heard this, frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's not very good. I have managed Xiliang for my brother for more than [-] years, and it has only slightly restored the vitality of my Han family! Outside Jiayuguan, it is far less than that inside the pass. Control back..."

Song Sheng asked Xia Xun to sit down and gave him a detailed introduction to the situation in the Western Regions.The Western Regions gained and lost in the hands of the Han and Hui people, and the situation was the most severe when the Ming Dynasty took over.

Baidu Jinyi Yexing@黄门内pin provides back, hotlinking is detestable.

The Western Regions were opened up in the Han Dynasty, and it was further advanced in the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, its power reached Central Asia. Unfortunately, this was only a flash in the pan, and it didn't take long to retreat. Immediately after the Anshi Rebellion, the vitality of the Tang Dynasty was severely damaged. The power shrank further, and even the Western Regions were basically lost, so the two landlords, Tubo and Huihe, began to compete for the dam springs in the Western Regions.

Tubo is the Buddha's return to the country, and Huihe is the Muslim. Later, when Tubo collapsed, the Islamic power expanded wantonly.

Later, Zhang Yichao established Guiyi Jun on Shazhou, and when he was the strongest, he once ruled the Hexi Corridor of the Silk Road. After Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when the Song Dynasty was established, the Qiang people also established the Xixia Kingdom in the Western Regions, unifying the Hexi Corridor. At this point, the connection between the Western Regions Buddha and the Central Plains was completely broken.

At this time, the Black Khanate, which believed in Islam, launched the holy war and killed Khotan. After the king of Khotan returned to the country, the entire western region was completely Muslimized and extended to the Hexi Corridor.When Song Sheng managed the Western Regions, the Western Regions had no foundation for Han Hui people. The territory here was forcibly conquered by General Xu Dajun, and the local residents were forced to return under the force of General Xu Dajun. The Mongols, Qiang people, and Tubo people who are obedient, and most of them believe in Islam.

On this land that has been lost for hundreds of years, Song Sheng has worked hard for more than 20 years, but he has only firmly grasped Gansu in his hands. Using both grace and power, using the local Uighurs and Mongols, half of them were controlled by Daming. ,

After hearing this, Xia Xun murmured: "Brother, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. Tie Mu'er has been invincible and invincible in the west. This time, he came to the east, and I vowed to win. Yes, we We are waiting for work at ease, and occupying a favorable location. Our soldiers and horses in Ming Dynasty are also strong and strong, but Timur is not only strong and strong, but also takes the identity of a Mongolian and calls for Islam. In terms of people and harmony, we are in Hami, Mongolstan, and Bieshabali. It is not dominant, so as long as this battle is fought, even if it is won, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory."

Song Sheng said: "Well! Brother also expected this! Judging from the information we have now, this Tie Muer is a hard bone, so it's not easy to chew on!"

After a moment of silence, he raised his bushy eyebrows again, and said sternly: "Whatever it is! A man is stationed in the frontier, wrapped in horse leather, and he deserves to die! Isn't it just for this day that the imperial court raises soldiers for thousands of days, why are you afraid of him!"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm not afraid. However, it's a big difference whether Tiemu'er came here on a smooth road or in muddy places. If he expends more energy on the road, we will Save a little more energy, and if he dies one more soldier on the way, we can save one more soldier. Brother, you have led troops for many years, and you should understand that the battlefield changes rapidly, and it may be because of a small gap that the outcome of the entire battle depends on it. Decide!"

Song Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother, you mean..."

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "If these places are loyal to my Daming, they will be a thorn in front of Timur's horse. If they fall to Timur, they will be the bridgehead of Timur. Before Timur arrives, I want to go outside the pass!"

On the snowfield, there are continuous stretches of camps, spreading along the hillside, boundless.

The banners fluttered in the cold wind, and the archery towers stood tall, sternly guarded.

In the wind, the sound of the golden drum and horn came faintly!

The north wind howled, but the tent was very warm.

Qiu Fu stood in front of a map hanging on the tent wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains, rivers and rivers above, as well as the marked places where the main force of the Tatars might be hiding after the report from the scouting horses, his eyebrows were furrowed.

A school lieutenant came in and handed in an official letter. Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong opened it to read it, walked up to Qiu Fu, and said respectfully: "General, Liaodong Zhang Jun sent news, you can send Yuanhou Dingyu to lead Liaodong Jingqi [-], Wuliangha has two thousand elite cavalry, totaling five thousand elite soldiers, to assist the general."

Qiu Fu turned a deaf ear, still staring at the map with his hands behind his back. Wang Zhong was waiting to say more, while Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng, tugged at his sleeve and snorted coldly: "Forget it! Who are Zhang Jun and Ding Yu? They are Fuguo Gong Yangxu’s people, help us conquer Benya’s lost ground? Hmph! Sending five thousand soldiers is just a fool’s job, just to share our credit! Don’t pay attention to them!”

Hou Huo of Tong'an was on fire and said with a smile: "Hey, people always have good intentions, and it's not easy to ignore them. I replied to them and said, thank you for your kindness, and asked them to prepare for the war. When there is news, when there is a need to increase troops, ask them to assist. Just encircle and suppress!"

Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Qiu Fu, seeing Qiu Fu's serious face and not speaking, so he had no choice but to agree, and hurried back to the desk to write a reply letter.

Qiu Fu was very anxious. This dispatch of troops was a good opportunity for him to go out again and return to the center. He was very concerned about it, especially after receiving Zhu Gaoxu's letter, he knew the significance of a big victory.However, he led an army of [-] wandering outside the Great Wall for more than a month. He spent a lot of food and grass, and many soldiers were frostbitten, but he didn't even see the shadow of the Tatars.

The vast grassland is filled with heavy snow. If you want to hide and avoid fighting, millions of people will disappear immediately if you scatter in. Where can you find it?Now that Liaodong Zhang Jun hypocritically said that he would send troops to help, Qiu Fu became even angrier when he heard that. One hundred thousand soldiers don't need help at all, even if they need help, he won't borrow one soldier from Liaodong and have nothing to do with Xia Xun!

The more Qiu Fu thought about it, the more irritable he became, and suddenly he turned around and said, "The snow is so thick that it is difficult for the army to move, and the enemy chiefs can flee freely, so it is always difficult to fight. The commander decided that Huo Zhen and Wang Zhong would lead the army and the baggage to move slowly. Wang Cong, Li Yuan, Each of you and this commander will lead thousands of elite riders, respond to each other, search and advance, and fight immediately if there are small groups of enemy chieftains, and immediately call reinforcements to respond if there are large groups of enemy chieftains, otherwise you will be fooled by the enemy, and it will be difficult to find their nests!"
