721 Liangzhou 5(1/2)
Updated: 2013-05-09
"Emperor Xu, are there any detailed works from Gaochang and other countries in Dunhuang and Yiwu now?"
"Of course, since we occupied this place, the enemy spies have been continuously flowing. Although we have pursued them many times, it is difficult to completely clean them up." Xu Ye said with a solemn aura.
Wei Zilin smiled faintly and said, "In this way, in their opinion, the defenders in our cities went out of the city to chase and suppress the horse thieves, is it normal to mobilize? There is no idea that we will go out to fight the west."
Xu Ye nodded and said, "Of course, it may have been very careful at the beginning. But now, they all think we are busy stabilizing the place and dealing with the counterattack of the Liangzhou army in the east, and they don't think we will have any attacks."
.After all, in the eyes of Gaochang and other countries, we just seized the three prefectures from the Liangzhou army and attacked the Yong army."
"Since that's the case, then turn passive into initiative. We sneak attack Shanshan, and there are not two countries." Wei Zilin said coldly.
"Sneak attack?"
"Sneak attack! These two countries are different from Gaochang and other countries. Although they established their own country, the land they occupied was the territory of the Dayan Empire in the past. In the past, the Dayan Empire also moved to stabilize the rule of the western region.
There are few Han people. Moreover, the lands of these two countries are not large, and there are not many military and civilians. After the sneak attack, they will definitely be unable to resist. The supporters behind them will not be able to support them in time. When our army occupy this place, other countries will be unable to support them.
If you get the news, it's a foregone conclusion."
Xu Ye pondered for a little while and said, "This is also an excellent way. In the name of eliminating horse thieves, the troops in each city were transferred out, and then gathered, hid in the day and walked at night, heading straight to the rebellious land of Shanshan, and not
The two countries took down the two rebellious countries that were cedeed and independent in one fell swoop."
"However, if we want to completely eliminate the two countries, at least ten thousand cavalry will be needed. However, there will be fewer guards left! The guards of the two western prefectures...especially Yiwu, this place is not far from Gaochang State, once it is not far from the country of Gaochang.
Gaochang State heard that the three northwest prefectures were in short supply and attacked, so..." Xu Ye was still a little worried about the safety of the three northwest prefectures.
Wei Zilin smiled and said, "It's okay! Isn't there still 15,000 new soldiers? Although they are not useful, it's okay to wear our army's armor and intimidate the enemy. In addition, General Xue Qinglan will also return to Yiwu's land and personally
In charge, Gaochang State learned that the commander of the Great Zhao Army of Great Zhao came to Yiwu in person, so he would not dare to act rashly. In this battle, we have to rely on you, Duwei Xu. You are the most familiar with the situation here, and only you can accomplish the best.
A sneak attack."
Xu Ye was not vague and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, then turn passive into active and sneak attacks on both places."

"Lord, the officials of the Yanzhou Army began to continue to report their duties in Youzhou City, and the southern princes also weakened the trend of war, and they all seemed to be suspicious of a deeper relationship with the Yanzhou Army."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Of course they will doubt, and they will be afraid that we will follow the Yanzhou army to the south. The Yanzhou army has now penetrated into the southern Central Plains and can attack Xuzhou army and Qi army at any time,
How could they not worry when the Tang army governs the land?"
Pei Yi said: "Does there need to be any countermeasures?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "There is no need to do more. The more abnormal behaviors there are, the bigger the loopholes. This makes it elusive and makes it more difficult for them to see clearly."
"By the way, have the food and supplies prepared for the Liangzhou operation started to be transported? There will be no problem, right?"
Situ Liang smiled and said, "No problem, the direct sneak attack of the Yanju Prefecture defenders has relieved a lot of pressure for our attack. I originally thought I would fight hard for more than ten days, but I didn't expect that I would take it down without any casualties.
This important northern part of Liangzhou. The three northwest prefectures are now under our control. However, the three northwest prefectures are weak places in Liangzhou, and we need to open up the connection with Xiazhou as soon as possible."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "It's okay. Now let the Yanju Prefecture's army advance southwest and strive to connect with Wei Zilin and the others as quickly as possible. In addition, if someone spreads news in Liangzhou, he will make Liangzhou big
The governor wanted to contact the countries in the Western Regions and to send troops to resist our army at the cost of betraying Liangzhou."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "If it were the three northwest prefectures alone, the military and civilians in Liangzhou would not care much. However, with Liangzhou as the target, these military and civilians could not remain indifferent. The internal creation of chaos, and the external disintegration of Liangzhou
The army's resistance."
"What about Situ Lei? What are their actions now? Our message should have caused him a lot of trouble. Now that our army has entered Liangzhou, he should also respond."
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Our message has indeed caused trouble to Situ Lei who is in Chengdu Prefecture. In addition to the replacement of the Liangzhou Grand Governor, the eldest son of Situ Lei, was also
Instead, it is said that Situ Lei's eldest son, Situ Hao, who is nominally most qualified to inherit the throne, has been summoned by Situ Lei to Chengdu Prefecture and followed him. The rest of the Grand Governor Ning Yi, who is left behind in Chang'an, were also under Situ Lei.
replace."
"Although this move eliminated the possible division caused by rumors, it also caused trouble for the states under Situ Lei's rule. Now, the new King Yong has become a concern for all the civil and military officials under the rule of King Yong. In addition, according to the Shadow Department,
As the Hawkeye Division explored, the new commander of the states was also replacing the personnel assigned by the original commander. It seems that Situ Lei is preparing to establish the new King Yong."
"Situ Lei did not respond much to the war situation in Liangzhou. Perhaps, for Situ Lei, the land of Liangzhou did not bring much benefits to him. However, the Western Regions countries in the west were him instead
A pressure from Situ Lei just asked the army to deploy defense around Chang'an to prevent our army from breaking the connection between Yongzhou and Yizhou. Others did not intend to send troops to Liangzhou. Or, the new King Yong was confirmed to be the King Yong
The first thing to do.”
Pei Yi said: "I just don't know which son of Situ Lei will be established as the new King Yong. If I can do something in it, it would be the best."
Situ Liang smiled and said, "No matter who he takes office, it is good news for us. This shows that Situ Lei is really at the right time. Without Situ Lei, what are his sons afraid of?
They are far behind Situ Lei."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "What he said is right. This is good news for us. It is also good news for other princes, especially the Qi army."
…………
After some mobilization, nearly 10,000 elite cavalry of Zhao troops from Yiwu and Dunhuang were transferred out of the county towns one by one. Instead of their training in the camps in each city, the newly recruited one was the one who was recently recruited.
Wan Xin and 5,000 surrendered soldiers.
The ten thousand Zhao army cavalry gathered a hundred miles away from western Dunhuang, finished the decoration and headed westward.
Shanshan, and in less than two places, are located in the western part of Dunhuang, since ancient times, the Central Plains entered the Western Regions. Therefore, throughout the dynasties, the Central Plains dynasties have sent troops to this place to rule here. However, when the Central Plains is in chaos or weak, it is here.
It will lose contact with the Central Plains court and be occupied by foreigners.
If the Zhao army wanted to take Liangzhou, it would naturally destroy the business roads between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. It would be impossible for the Western Regions to let the countries in chaos and turmoil the borders. The two rebellious places were naturally the first to be captured by the Zhao army.
This time, Xu Ye, who is more familiar to the west, was the one who was the most familiar with Xu Ye, and a total of 10,000 Zhao army cavalry advanced westward on this boundless Gobi Desert, hiking at night, and trying to sneak attack the two places.
Although the soldiers under his command were not his former subordinates, the military discipline and quality of the Zhao army made these soldiers very satisfied. Xu Ye did not disappoint everyone's expectations. His leadership style was serious and orderly, and everything was reasonable and orderly, and meticulous.
Therefore, although there are hundreds of miles of Gobi Desert around, the camping place still has spears and barbs and thorns everywhere. Even a lookout tower was erected and sentry sentries. The camp had a clear flag and the army of each camp was neat and orderly.
, the horses and humans are clearly distinguished, and all are arranged in an orderly manner. Even if you only spend the night, every detail must be done.
In the central army's tent, Xu Yezheng met with more than a dozen lieutenants, officers and other officers to discuss the sneak attack. In the middle of the tent, there were maps of the two western countries. These maps were still from Dunhuang Wenfu.
After all, these two places were found in the yamen book, and they used to be the territory of the Great Yan. However, Xu Ye and several guides living in the west were also familiar with the situation in the west.
"Everyone, this is an important front-line town in Shanshan Kingdom, mainly to resist the counterattack of Qingyuan Town by Liangzhou Army in the past. In the past, this place was also an important town, but now it has become their front-line to resist us. There are more than 500 households in this town.
It is an important place for business travelers to stop. There are 2,000 Shanshan troops in the town, and there are beacon towers built by the court in the past. Now they are used by the Shanshan team. It is still three hundred miles apart from Qingyuan Town to the capital of Shanshan.
There are all Gobi deserts in the distance, with ten beacon towers built in the middle, and each beacon tower has five soldiers. There are water storage wells in the beacon tower..."
The guide, also a businessman who traveled around the world, slowly told everyone about the situation in Shanshan. Xu Ye added it and added it to the military.
"Everyone, because we are going to attack the lands of the two countries, we will not leave it to our country of Shanshan for too long. In addition, although we are hiking on the day and walking at night, we may not be able to hide it for too long. Therefore, we must be the shortest
During the time, the Shanshan Kingdom was captured, and then the two prefectures were captured in one fell swoop, and the former territory of the two prefectures was restored. Only by becoming a certain fact can the two places be prevented from falling into a lasting stalemate and avoid letting the Western countries in the west
Lead the troops to help.”
Xu Ye glanced at everyone and said, "So, we only have five days at most. We must take down the Shanshan Kingdom within five days, and then go west to conquer the Qiwei Kingdom and let the West go.
The reaction was not enough in the face of the countries.”
"Don't worry, sir, we are a sneak attack this time. The other party is unprepared and will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop. sir, just order the action!"
Xu Ye nodded and said, "It's great. In this Shanshan, there are no foreign tribes living together. Therefore, our operation is not only a military occupation, but also a stable future rule. Therefore, for the two countries,
The powerful people, especially foreign tyrants and those who have deep connections with the traitors of the two countries, will be killed! This is also our mission this time, and you should all understand."
Everyone was silent and naturally understood the meaning. The one who captured the two places this time was not just the rebels and their tribesmen in the two places...
Qingyuan Town is a town originally developed from an oasis, with a population of more than 500 households, but a garrison of 2,000 people, which is the gateway to Shanshan. Of course, at the beginning, there were only four or five hundred defenders here, but with
When the Zhao army entered the three northwest prefectures, the defenders here became more than 2,000. Obviously, they were guarding against this sudden new neighbor.
At the forefront of Qingyuan Town, there is a beacon tower built by the imperial court in the past. The Qingyuan Town defenders can send alarms to Qingyuan Town through beacon towers. Therefore, to take down Qingyuan Town as soon as possible, they must first kill the beacon tower.
On a hill about fifteen miles east of Qingyuan Town is the beacon tower, built with huge rocks, three meters high, divided into three layers, below is raising horses, living in the middle, and above is beacon fire.
There are six soldiers from Shanshan Kingdom in the beacon tower.
At night, there were no three clouds in the sky. The full moon cast a cold light in the endless yellow sand sea. The beacon tower was bathed in this strange silver moonlight, extremely quiet.
At this time, dozens of black shadows quickly approached the beacon tower. Most of them were hidden behind dozens of big rocks within a hundred steps. Only an extremely agile figure quickly approached the beacon tower, and his body was close to the beacon tower.
On the stone wall of the platform, the rope was suddenly thrown upwards, and the rope was accurately placed on the female wall marble on the top of the three layers. He was like a light-sensitive monkey, climbing the rope and crawling up quickly.
A moment later, the black shadow flipped into the top of the beacon tower, threw all the firewood, grass and wolf dung from the beacon tower, waved his hand under the beacon tower, and in an instant, dozens of people rushed towards the beacon tower...
One hour later, when the news that the beacon towers on the east and west were taken down to Xu Ye's ears, Xu Ye also issued an order to attack: "Absiege Qingyuan Town, annihilate all the enemy troops, and also
Don’t let go. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without any hesitation!”
Ten thousand Zhao army cavalry formed a fan-shaped shape, covering the sky and facing two miles away, surrounded by Qingyuan Town wrapped in night, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and they rushed into Qingyuan Town in an instant.
In an instant, the sound of killing was accompanied by the screams, and the screams resounded throughout Qingyuan Town. In the night, it was very far away. However, the beacon tower more than ten miles west had been taken down by Zhao Jun.
, Therefore, the root of the information here cannot be explored later.
"Who are you? Dare..."
"kill……"
"Crash open the door of the mansion and kill it without any hesitation!" A team of soldiers stood in front of a mansion, and the officer shouted loudly.
To be continued...
