Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 393 Entering Tubo and fighting various tribes
After a military meeting, it was Liu Wei who finally convinced Gao Yuniang that Gao Yuniang no longer worried about the reactions of the Jin and Song Dynasties and agreed to Liu Wei's strategic plan.

For generals such as Li Shifu, it is an extremely pleasant thing to fight a battle. It sounds nice to say that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, but in this era, few generals are willing to do this.Death on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, may be the destination that those generals yearn for in their hearts. To die of old age on the sick bed, in the eyes of many generals, that is not a kind of luck, but the saddest ending.

Once the strategic direction was finalized, Liu Wei immediately began to order preparations, giving priority to guaranteeing both combatants and supplies.

Of course, the construction of the city and the reform of the social system cannot be stopped. For a while, the entire senior management of Liujiazhuang became extremely busy.

Even Yang Zaixing and Chaihu had to accept a large number of recruits' training because of this. According to Liu Wei's requirements, these newly recruited soldiers still needed comprehensive training, and Liu Wei also gave a death order: the new style Firearms can only be issued to truly loyal veterans, and will never be issued to newly recruited soldiers.

The reason why such an order was given was because Liu Wei never wanted Liujiazhuang's new firearms to flow out. Although this kind of thing would eventually be imitated, Liu Wei would try his best to ensure that the time of this outflow would be extended indefinitely.

After the foundation of the new city was built, the internal system reform of Liujiazhuang was basically completed.Because a lot of fertile land has been stripped, only in the narrow sense of "Liujiazhuang", the area has been reduced.Because of the reduction in area, the location of the research institute has also existed apart from Liujiazhuang, but because of Liu Wei's interference, the area of ​​the independent research institute has far exceeded that of the past, becoming the center of this new city. A very eye-catching place.

But anyone who is still living in the new city today knows about this institute, even if they haven't heard of it in the past, they know it now.

Everyone is proud of being able to enter the research institute, whether it is to work or be invited to enter, but in fact, except for the craftsmen who have already worked in it, few outsiders can pass through the layers of security checks, even Liu Jiajun The same is true for the generals in Li, without Liu Wei's consent.

The research institute, which has expanded its area, has also been re-split. Some departments have been merged, and some departments have been separated. The newly recruited craftsmen began to study in the direction pointed out by Liu Wei, and the factory attached to the research institute was put into normal operation. , Three shifts began to produce firearms and equipment.

In April, the Panxi Expedition team was formally established, including 5000 wolf cavalry, 3000 horse archers, and another 1000 people. It was a firearms battalion led by Liu Wei himself, including muskets, small artillery, rockets and other new firearms.

There is no such thing as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in Liu Wei's place. After choosing a day with good weather, the mighty army set off westward from Chengdu City. After a five-day journey, they walked out of the Southern Song Dynasty and entered the On the territory of Tubo.

After setting up camp, Li Shifu came to Liu Wei's tent, unfolded the battle map, and pointed out a Tubo tribe hundreds of miles away.

According to Li Shifu, the Tubo in front has a population of no more than 4000, and the number of adult males who can fight is less than [-].

"4000 people, and they're not real soldiers, Shifu, if you were to lead those five thousand wolf riders, and add another three thousand bow riders, how far can you fight?"

"Returning to your lord, if you can't wipe them all out, Shifu is willing to come and see you!" Li Shifu was full of confidence, and Liu Wei nodded slightly, "Forget it, let's send a few articulate people there, just talk about this place, return Me!"

"Order!"

Since it was only a tribe of about [-] people, Liu Wei didn't want to go to war.Before the expedition, Liu Wei had a discussion with Zhan Mu and others. The purpose of this expedition to Tubo was not to conquer the entire territory of Tubo, but Liu Wei would give them a way out for any tribes willing to surrender.

The so-called way of life is also very simple. All the old and weak, women and children moved to the Yizhou government, and set aside an area as their living place, while all the young and strong men joined the army to serve.Under Liu Wei's rule, the salaries of the soldiers were extremely high. As long as they fought hard, it was normal for one soldier to feed the whole family.

With such propaganda, the soldier team sent out by Li Shifu soon contacted the tribe in front. After all, Li Shifu's personal guards used to be powerful in this land, and now some people still remember his reputation.

Remember to remember, half a day later, out of the five soldiers who went to persuade them to surrender, only two came back.

The other three were killed on the spot by the angry tribal leader!

"Shifu, don't hesitate anymore. The strong need to bring to the weak. Apart from kindness, there is more fear! Tomorrow morning, the whole army will be deployed. My order to you is to use the [-] cavalry to encircle the tribe. Everyone, then, just look at the performance of the Firearms Battalion directly under it!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Shifu also felt useless in his heart. It is said that three of his personal guards were killed because of the confrontation between the two countries. This humiliation can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!
The Tubo tribe standing in the way of Liushui's advance did not know what kind of enemy they had provoked at this time. Their memory of Li Shifu was limited to the army that fought with money in the past. Kill a few people in Li Shifu, and when Li Shifu leads troops to fight, it really won't work, and he can use money to communicate!

In Tubo, no matter which tribe it is, slavery is still practiced. The biggest slave owner in a tribe is often the leader of the tribe, or even the whole tribe may be a big family, and the head of the family is the leader of the tribe.

Of course, not all slave owners are qualified to form their own tribe, just like the tribe in front of them is composed of three big slave owners.In terms of population, these three slave owners who dominate the tribe are not a big character in the whole of Tubo, and one of the slave owners named Sanjie once dealt with Li Shifu.

At the beginning, Sanjie was just a small slave owner, and he was not in this place. Because he offended someone, he was besieged by a tribal leader.

Just when Sangjie was about to have nowhere to go, he happened to run into Li Shifu who had just arrived in Tubo.And Sanjay used his family's assets as a commission, and desperately pinned his hopes on Li Shifu.

The final result did not disappoint Sangjie. The army led by Li Shifu easily defeated Sangjie's enemy. Although Li Shifu did not kill them all, at least he forced the tribal leader to give up the pursuit of Sangjie.

Afterwards, Sang Jie was not really relieved. He paid a lot of money and determined the origin of Li Shifu before moving his family to this place near the Song Dynasty. Being bullied by other tribes, he can rely on his relationship with Li Shifu to enter the Song Dynasty to seek a chance.

Unfortunately, when Li Shifu's soldiers went to the tribe to persuade them to surrender, Sanjie was not in the tribe. He returned to the tribe at night, and he heard about it when he just settled down.

"Are you sure it's General Li Shifu's soldier?"

"Of course! It's just a Song trick! What's the big deal?" Another slave owner, who is also the leader of the tribe, said without fear.In his opinion, this is not a problem at all. He knows very well that the Southern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin are fighting, but in his heart, Li Shifu represents the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Wrong, big mistake!"

When it was confirmed that the one killed was actually a soldier under Li Shifu's command, Na Sangjie beat his chest, but he didn't even have the intention to insult the leader, so he left immediately and returned home.

"Come on, inform me. Everyone pack up their things and gather in one place. All the soft belongings must be packed up. If you can't carry anything, forget it. I'm leaving now to General Li's camp!"

"Master, what happened, why did you pack things in a hurry?" One of Sanjay's wives, who was also his favorite wife, asked suspiciously.

"A catastrophe is imminent, a catastrophe is imminent!" Sang Jie shook his head, told his servants to prepare the horse quickly, and took 300 taels of gold with him. Regardless of the darkness, he forced the horse to leave the tribe and headed straight for Liu Wei's camp.

When Na Sangjie arrived at the camp, it was already dawn, and all the soldiers and horses under Liu Wei's command had already broken out of the camp, ready to go.

"General Li, I want to see General Li, I am a friend of General Li, please, let me meet General Li!"

When the army was about to launch, Sangjie was stopped by scouts far away, who was not qualified to enter the army formation. As a last resort, Sangjie could only shout loudly, hoping to meet Li Shifu.

Maybe it was because they saw that Sang Jie was not dressed like a commoner, and they told some anecdotes about Li Shifu in Tubo in the past, the scouts did not cut off Sang Jie's head directly, but passed on for Sang Jie.

"Sangjie? My lord, when the last general was in Tibet last year, he really knew a slave owner named Sangjie. I don't know if it is him."

"Oh? It seems that there is something interesting about this matter. In my opinion, this Sanjie is probably a member of the tribe in front of him."

"Hmph! If he really joins this tribe, then the matter of killing the last general's personal soldiers, I am afraid that he will be the first to be used for surgery!"

"There are exceptions to everything. Since someone is coming to your door, why don't I accompany you to take a look!" Liu Wei smiled and asked Li Shifu to go with him to meet Sangjie.

"General Li, General Li, Sang Jie is wrong, Sang Jie is really wrong!"

Liu Wei and Li Shifu were still far away from the figure of Sangjie, and they didn't know if Sangjie really had such good eyesight, but he knelt down at Li Shifu from a distance, and kept saying wrong, it seemed that his attitude was very sincere. Li Shifu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted:
"Sangjie, shut up!"
