Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 465

Shelong is not Zhao Zilong, so he doesn't have the ability to kill seven in and seven out among thousands of troops.

After running away, his physical strength declined even more, and the Wuzi steel sword, which was originally invincible, could not easily judge the weapons in the hands of the barbarians.

I don't know how long he ran away, but he finally fell backwards under Zhang Cheng's heavy knife.

It wasn't that Zhang Cheng's knife could knock him down to the ground, but that he tripped over a stone under his feet.

Then, the whistling wind rang in Shelong's ears. In the darkness, he couldn't see the state he was in at all. He only knew that the saber was out of his hand, and the sound of several broken ribs was so ear-piercing that it almost hurt. It made him faint from the pain, this is not the end, all kinds of dead branches scraped his body with burning pain, and that handsome military uniform may have been torn to pieces.

"Pfft!"

The sound of heavy objects falling into the water sounded, and Shelong completely lost consciousness.

A large team like the one he leads will definitely choose a place with a water source to rest, so that it is convenient to feed the livestock and cook. It just so happens that this time, he chose to station by a river, so now, the surging river, rushing gone his body.

"That's good, lest I feel uncomfortable when I kill you."

Zhang Cheng whispered to himself, and gradually hid his body in the darkness. According to the plan, he had to take the first step and report the situation here to Xiao Yu. As for the barbarians he provoked to kill Shelong The tribe, in the next step, they will rush to Mengshezhao's territory and expand their achievements. However, it is more likely that they will face crazy revenge from the Tang army.

Three days later, when all the fire oil Wang Hao prepared in Goguryeo in advance was delivered to Yanjin City, Zhang Cheng arrived at the city of Yizhou.

"Lord Xiao, the barbarians in Yunnan rebelled. The leaders of various ministries led an army of more than [-] troops and suddenly launched an attack on General Shelong's convoy. Meng She ordered thousands of soldiers to be killed, and General Shelong died. At this moment, they should attack The residence of Mengshezhao is destroyed, the people of the Bai people are in danger, and the generals and soldiers of the Tang army who guard the mines are in danger."

When Zhang Cheng, covered in blood, told Xiao Yu this information in a half-crying voice, Xiao Yu was stunned.

This happened too suddenly. In his mind, the words Tang Jun and the copper mines that were constantly whirling around.

"Come on, hurry up and invite General Chai to discuss matters at the General Manager's Mansion..."

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this matter at all, Chai Shao, it is impossible to leave [-] subordinate brothers in Yunnan without saving them.
Xiao Yu also does not allow the various tribes in Yunnan to unite against the Tang Dynasty. The interests involved are too great. Before the Bai people are defeated by the coalition forces of the tribes, they quickly send troops to suppress the rebellion and rescue them. Then, the situation in Yunnan can still be restored. room.

Since they have no choice but to send troops economically or morally, they can only discuss how to send troops.

Here comes the problem. There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shu, and [-] are already trapped in Yunnan, and there are as many as [-]+ rebels. If there are fewer, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Chai Shao and Xiao Yu agreed Afterwards, I felt that it was necessary to send the maximum number of troops to rescue and suppress the rebellion. Anyway, there is no movement in Tubo now, and it is enough to leave a few thousand people in Songzhou for defense.

It only took half a day for Xiao Yu and Chai Shao to agree on the matter of dispatching troops. Moreover, during this half day, soldiers from the Mengshe Zhao clan who had escaped came to report one after another, which made Xiao Yu more sure of the situation in Yunnan. Condition.

Early the next morning, Chai Shaozheng issued a military order to mobilize the [-] troops garrisoned in central Shu to go to Yunnan. One day later, all the garrisons at the passes and crossings in central Shu were empty.

Three days later, on the plateau, Wang Lin, who had spent a long time drowning his worries with wine, finally received the news.

"My lord, good news."

Wang Lin, whose eyes were full of drunkenness, was shivered by the old servant Wang Zhi's shout.

"Good news. The best news on this plateau is that Songtsan Gampo rewarded him with wine, meat and fabrics produced in the Tang Dynasty! My lord, is there any shortage of these?"

Ever since Li Shimin sent Li Ji and Niu Jinda to attack Tuyuhun and other ministries of the party, and sent a large army to station in Songzhou, which borders Tubo in central Shu, Wang Lin knew that Li Shimin was prepared for Tubo, and his shocking plan was It's useless, so his will is terribly depressed.

At this time, Lu Dongzan also messed with Songtsen Gampo because of the failure of his series of plans, and emptied his power, making him completely reduced to a man who only knew how to drink and eat on the Tubo Plateau. Meat parasites.

"No, son, this time, there is really good news. The barbarians in Yunnan have rebelled. More than 5000 soldiers have killed Shelong, the leader of Mengshezhao, and besieged [-] Tang troops who organized mining in Yunnan. Over there, Chai Shao sent an army of more than [-] to Yunnan for rescue three days ago, and now, the defenders of Songzhou City are only [-] people, and there are almost no one in the pass from central Sichuan to Guanzhong."

"What, what? Is everything you said true?"

Wang Lin, who was in a state of drunkenness, burst out of strength from nowhere, and grabbed Wang Zhi's two arms so painfully.

"Young master, it is absolutely true!"

Hearing the words absolutely true, Wang Lin's muddy eyes finally showed ecstasy.

"Hahahaha, God help me too, God help me too... Hurry up, change clothes, I'm going to see Zanpu, Ludong praises you for being a villain, I didn't expect it! My son's plan may come true machine······"

Wang Lin quickly put on the robes of his right minister in Tubo, and headed towards Songtsan Gampo's king's tent. Wang Zhi, behind him, showed a sinister smile, and said in his heart, "Heaven also I can't help you, only Mr. Hao can help you."

The sun is shining brightly in early autumn, which is a good time to do business. The product fair in Weinan was very popular. A multicolored glazed Buddha statue was sold for [-] guan. A two-foot-high pure transparent glass Buddha statue attracted dozens of people. Tianzhu merchants rushed to buy them, and the price exceeded [-] guan. Empress Changsun and ministers such as Changsun Wuji, who were present at the scene, couldn't see their smiling eyes. You know, the cost of these things doesn't even cost [-] yuan. The steward of Liulichang told them that rare things are more expensive, and that in the future, only a few pieces of this kind of goods will be sold each year. It is estimated that they can use these glazed products to loot all the merchants in countries who believe in Buddhism.

Of course, such valuable commodities are not limited to Buddha statues. For example, merchants in Baoxiang Kingdom need a three-foot-high glazed elephant, and merchants in Tianshi Kingdom need a sphinx with a human face as large as possible. For this reason, Liulichang’s The steward told them in a very embarrassing manner that Liuli is natural, and although it is possible to obtain the things they have designed, it is very difficult. The factory may need to invest a very large capital cost. Therefore, the businessmen of the two countries decisively handed over With a deposit of [-] Guan, I only hope that Liulichang can produce something that represents their country's totem.

When Gao Sheng got the news, the corners of his mouth twitched. However, his task is to ensure that all transactions in this fair are what you want and that both parties to the transaction can pay taxes according to the regulations. It is only a trading day. The statistical data is a bit scary. The transaction volume has exceeded 300 million guan, and the imperial court has successfully collected [-] million guan in taxes.

Moreover, the transaction on the second day was still good, but merchants from various countries began to inquire about how to borrow goods. Hu merchants who have a record of borrowing and repayment can also obtain a lot of loan lines. As for those merchants whose credit belongs to the white board level, the goods that can be borrowed are quite limited.

Then, the yamen gate in Weinan, which was in charge of household registration, began to be overcrowded. Merchants from all over the world scrambled to join the Tang nationality. Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others urgently discussed and introduced a series of policies.

First of all, you need to have a house in your country to become a citizen, and then you need to pay a certain naturalization fee, and promise to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and pay all the taxes that should be paid according to the tax system of the Tang Dynasty, etc., which makes many The remaining courtiers were very busy.

To some extent, mastering the world's businessmen means mastering the world's economy. Datang has taken a big step towards mastering the world's economy. When the conditions gradually mature, Sun Xiangfu will probably suggest that Li Shimin introduce control measures. The new monetary policy of the direct economy is out.

Outside Yanjin City, Li Shimin in the military tent did not know what happened in Yunnan and Guanzhong. Today, some new situations appeared in Yanjin City. He heard the sound of gathering soldiers and drums from inside the city wall. The soldiers in the middle are also busy, putting on their armor and holding their knives, making pre-war preparations.

"Yuan Gai Suwen finally couldn't bear it anymore, I wonder what it will be like when his motley army confronts my armored army head-on."

Li Shimin, who was dressed in armor and military uniform, would unconsciously shake the horse that had accompanied him through countless battles today. Between words, his eyes had already looked at Li Jing. Tactical response on the battlefield, this is the expert.

"Your Majesty, if we are fighting head-on, our army only needs to use heavy cavalry to break through the formation, and the heavy armored infantry will cover up and kill them later. With various chariots behind us, we can shoot at the enemy's positions, and then we can call them out of the city. No return."

Li Jing quickly made a tactical suggestion, and all the generals nodded in agreement after hearing the words.

Outside Yanjin City, there is a flat land, which is suitable for large-scale heavy cavalry to charge into battle. The Tang army is all equipped with iron armor, and they are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all. Various ballistas, catapults, and bed ballistas can completely suppress the enemy. position to prevent the entire army from falling into a surrounded situation.

Of course, even if the Tang army wanted to be surrounded, Yuan Gai Suwen might not dare to spread out his entire army to besiege the Tang army, because without the terrain to complement it, he would surround the Tang army with weapons of various colors that would not be able to break through the armor of the Tang army. Goguryeo soldiers were easily killed by the Tang army.

The Tang army numbered as many as [-], one person only needed to kill seven or eight people, and the Goguryeo coalition army in Yanjin City might be completely wiped out. Yuan Gai Suwen didn't dare to fight like this.

"Who can be the vanguard?"

"The minister recommends Xue Li, the Cavalry Captain of the Right Guard of the Anbei Army." Su Dingfang said without hesitation.

"Xue Li? Last year's horse racing champion in the Shanyang Grand Competition, has he already accumulated meritorious service and been promoted to riding captain?" Li Shimin asked with some reflections on Xue Li.

"Exactly, this man's riding and shooting skills are all outstanding in the Anbei Army. In the previous battles, as many as a hundred officers above the Koguryo centurion died at his hands."

"Such a fierce general should charge forward for our army and boost morale. Order, Xue Li is the vanguard general of the heavy cavalry, and Shi Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Guanzhou, is the deputy. The two will lead [-] heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's formation."

"No, I'm going to set up the formation right now." Su Dingfang said in a marching salute.

Xue Li is a lieutenant general of the Anbei Army. Li Shimin nominated his general, so the first battle will belong to the Anbei Army. Su Dingfang, as the commander of the Anbei Army, naturally obtained the right to command the battle. Next, The army will act according to his command flag.

While the Tang army tent was making arrangements for the upcoming battle, on the other side of Yanjin City, in the dense forest, Zhang Gongjin was also at a high place, nervously watching the situation in the city with a telescope.

He also heard the sound of drums gathering soldiers in the city. In a large-scale war involving tens of thousands of people, the three or four thousand people around him would not have much influence at all. However, he discovered something strange through observation.

Obviously, it is time to gather troops for a big battle. Why, there will be a large number of Goguryeo soldiers pouring out from the south gate, and they will bring supplies.

It's a pity that the north and south gates of Yanjin City are surrounded by plains and wilderness, while the left and right sides are surrounded by mountains and cliffs. If you want to get to the Tang army camp from their direction, you have to climb over the cliff, or you have to go through the city. However, the reason why the cliff is a cliff is because it is too steep to climb, and now, the battle in front of the north gate is about to break out, and it is almost impossible for them to pass through it, but it is impossible to pass the news to the army.

After looking at the surrounding terrain for a long time, Zhao Long suggested to Zhang Gongjin, "Mr. Zou, why don't we take some of them down and ask, what's the situation in the city?"

"There is a steady stream of teams coming out of the city. Once we move out, I'm afraid we will get into a battle." Zhang Gongjin frowned.

"Don't be afraid, there is a forest, we can get away. I will take [-] veterans down personally, and you will lead the rest to set up an ambush at the forest entrance."

"In this way, there will be work."

Zhang Gongjin really wanted to find out the situation in Yanjin City. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded.

"Then invite Mr. Zou to set up an ambush here, old brothers, follow me."

Zhao Long yelled at Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang and the others, then pulled off his visor, and led everyone to run out of the forest with a huff. Just now, he had already set his sights on a target, a guy in a scribe robe, He was surrounded by several people on his way, so his status should not be low.

　This afternoon, I will forcefully recommend it. Let me start with a [-]-character chapter. I hope that all friends will save face, recommend monthly tickets, praise them, and brush them up.Thanks!
