Qin Xiaole's words are by no means unreasonable. Looking at the power struggle between the prince and the queen, he must ensure that the Jinwu Guards under his command will not become a force that either the prince or the queen relies on. Anyone who has anything to do with the prince or the queen will not be involved in anything.
Neither is possible.
Thinking that the sergeant discovered the prince's subordinates outside Ming Chongyan's residence, Qin Xiaole immediately learned the news of Ming Chongyan's murder and strictly ordered the sergeant not to mention the matter. He did not want his subordinates to reveal this situation and upset the queen.
When one of the forces knew about it, they used it as evidence to attack the prince. After all, the patrolling sergeant did not see that the murderer was one of the prince's subordinates. He could only identify the murderer by finding that the prince's subordinates appeared in the place where Ming Chongyan hangs out.
This was too unreliable, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
After Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang left the Jinwu Guards camp, Di Renjie asked Yuanfang softly.
"How do you feel about Jinwu Guards, and what do you think of General Liao's remarks?"
Li Yuanfang heard her master's question and replied immediately.
"General Qin manages the army well, and the Jinwu Guards are worthy of being the elite army of the empire. As for what General Liao said, I think it is reasonable and there is nothing inappropriate about it."
When Di Renjie heard this, he turned around and looked at the military camp again, feeling unspeakable doubts in his heart.
While Di Renjie was secretly investigating Chongyan's case, but there was still no breakthrough, the prosperity of Luoyang City became more prosperous without the torment of soldiers and servants. In the court, Li Zhi orally said: "
Empress Wu Zetian is allowed to participate in handling the military affairs of the imperial court, and she has no right to make suggestions or make decisions on major matters of the empire."
Qin Nian and Jiang gained this power a few days ago, and immediately proposed the "Seventeen Matters" for the imperial court, which Li Zhi agreed to implement, so that Qin Nian and Jiang proposed "reclamation of fields, rewards for those who have no surplus food" and "harsh and abusive administration, and loss of household registration".
The decree of "punishing those who migrate" was fully implemented, and this measure that was beneficial to people's livelihood demonstrated the political wisdom of this extraordinary person.
At this time, the battle between Prince Li Xian and Tian Qian seemed calm on the surface, but it was turbulent on the outside. The ignorant ministers in the court were all far away from the whirlpool of such battles, and of course, they did not want to be involved in it.
Officials who took advantage of some disadvantages, and as a result, the ministers formed distinct camps with no independent opinions. In the turbulent political environment of the imperial court, another warning message was sent to the border of Xiaotang, and there was no Tubo army or Liangzhou army.
The raid on the border of Xiaotang brought Xiaotang closer to Tuyuhun, and the military towns on the front line of Liangzhou were once again in the flames of war.
"I would like to lead an army of 800,000 soldiers to conquer Zheng Yan personally, and make Di Renjie the marshal of the army——"
At dawn, in the misty sky, a cavalryman that looked like a white python was retreating at full speed, approaching the border between Tuyuhun and Xiaofei City. When there was a barracks where 70,000 Tubo troops were stationed, Zheng Yanping ordered Zheng Yanping to lead 700 personal guards to choose low ground.
, used rockets and mortars to attack the Tibetan military camp, and then divided 80,000 elite cavalry into right and left wings. Before the bombardment stopped, they launched a full-line attack on the Tibetan army.
"General, if the generals follow that strategy, and let's talk about food and fodder, will your troops and horses be able to adapt to such exhausting tactics? If there is nothing wrong with this link, will your small army fall into a trap?
This is the state of restoration.”
In the Tubo camp, many soldiers who woke up and were still sleeping were hit by the sudden and violent blow, and some of them were killed before they could react. Those soldiers who died without joy were compared to those who were torn apart by the blast of air.
How lucky is the soldier who has seven limbs torn apart, his body burned by flames, and his screams are endless.
When the Tibetan generals heard what the general said, they all grinned, as if tens of thousands of Xiliangs had become ours. The arrogant attitude of paying so much attention to the enemy made Geer Qinling frown.
"Headman Jia listened to the order, and the scout battalion quickly gathered the military information of the Tibetan army on the Tuyuhun and Xiaofeichuan lines, and notified the informants scattered within the Tibetan forces to cooperate with your army's actions. Any news of any unusual movements by the Tibetan army must be reported in time."
"Marshal, you have the right time and place. When Xiliang comes from far away and your troops are exhausted, Marshal can make your troops harassing Shancheng and Langzhouli military towns shrink their troops and station them in Xiaofeicheng and Xiaofeiling.
Let the troops stationed on the front line of Tuyuhun lie in ambush in the valley between Shancheng and Xiaofei City. If Xiliang dares to go deep, Xiaoshuai can recreate the myth of defeating Zheng Yan, so that Xiliang dares to be your enemy of Tubo, and will Shan
The city, Langzhou and other places will be ceded to you Tubo."
The Emperor of Heaven approved Yao Chong's memorial and ordered the Jinwu Guards to lead tens of thousands of soldiers from Geerqin to control the troops stationed in Hezhou, Langzhou, Shancheng and other places in Xiaotang to conquer Tibet.
After receiving the report, Geer Qinling summoned his counselor Gar Zanlu and his generals to discuss how to deal with Zheng Yan. None of his generals said anything.
Jinwu Guard Liao Huan said: "He can just lead his troops to follow my general. When the small army moves, his troops can snipe and kill the Tibetan generals in unfavorable terrain, use artillery to scare them, destroy the enemy's infantry and cavalry, and follow the generals in front."
Serve as the main force in destroying the city."
The emperor's words shocked all the ministers in the palace, Liao Huanqian, and wrote letters one after another to prevent the emperor from going there. Li Zhi agreed.
At that time, the Tibetan troops stationed on the Tuyuhun and Xiaofeichuan lines had discovered that tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry had retreated into Shancheng. The Tibetan generals stationed on the Xiaofeichuan lines quickly reported this military information to Marshal Ge stationed in Wuhai City.
Er Qinling.
There is no open land close to the river valley for dozens of miles away from Shanzhou City. Zheng Yanping ordered the entire army to camp and rest. I will wait there for the 700 personal guards with firearms assigned to me by my father Qin Wenyuan.
, served as the surprise soldier who attacked Tubo.
"How do multiple generals plan to use troops, and how do they need the cooperation of the generals?"
Nearly half an hour of artillery fire had caused the Tibetan army camp to be overrun with people. Everyone was running for their lives, but they didn't have half of their combat power.
The "rumbling" sound of horse hoofs shook the small ground. Tens of thousands of Zheng Yan's elite cavalry rushed into the Tubo military camp, like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. The Tubo army, which had not been frightened by the artillery fire, suddenly fell into a retreat without a door.
In panic, as the "crack-pap-pap-pap" gunshots rang out, all the generals wearing the uniforms of Tubo generals fell off their horses one after another. Such strange killing methods made the Tibetan soldiers so scared that they couldn't figure out the direction and only hated them when they saw it.
My mother-in-law has two extra legs, so she has to flee in seven places to save her life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yao Chong's words, which were agreed by His Highness and other ministers, were divided into emperors. The prime ministers of the first two parties also believed that this was the only way to solve the border troubles.
Regarding the garrisons in Shancheng, Langzhou, and Hezhou, the Jinwu Guards did not intend to involve those in Xiliang directly in the small battle. Instead, they wanted to divide Shancheng's troops to defend Xiaofeicheng and Xiaofeiling, while the troops in Langzhou and Hezhou
When the time comes, the garrison will also divide its troops to garrison Wuhai and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court to supplement the defense of several cities.
Chief Jia took the order and went out to act. Jin Wuwei ordered the soldiers to go to Shancheng, Langzhou, and Hezhou to deliver orders respectively, so that the governors of the cities in each state could quickly lead their troops to assemble in Shancheng before receiving the military order.
Before the artillery fire stopped, Jin Wuwei ordered the buglers to blow the horns and ordered the 80,000 cavalry to mount their horses and attack.
Seeing that the generals expressed their approval of his plan, Jinwu sent an order to his guard.
For a moment, the entire Tubo military camp was ablaze, and the men and horses were running around like frightened animals, each looking for a place to hide from the artillery fire.
Xu Xiaole led 700 Qin family guards to protect dozens of carriages, and traveled day and night to the direction of Shancheng to meet up with the Jinwu Guards' small army. The eldest son who had been adopted by Qin Wenyuan many years ago and was given the Qin family's surname was now a member of the Qin family.
A capable general among the family's personal guards, this time I have been ordered by the prince to carry rockets, mortars and various ammunition to help the general at the rear.
…
After the exchange between the seven people in the military tent, dozens of generals from Geerqin retreated and greeted Xu Xiaole respectively. General Ming Chong had known about the combat power of the Qin family's personal guards, and his confidence in this battle had increased. Liu Lang, Shan Sijing,
Cheng Xiaobao, Yuchi Dabai and other generals were slightly interested in the weapons Xu Xiaole was carrying and wanted to borrow them to watch, but they didn't know how to speak.
"When my imperial commander personally conducts the expedition and hears the words, the emperor and the prince should work together to stabilize the military and political affairs of the empire. There should be no more disputes. If there is a matter that is not decided, it is better to listen to the opinions of King Xu Tian of Qi."
"Seven Saints are gifted. In view of the tense military situation at the border, I thought that I could use Qin Xiaole, the young general of Geerqin, as commander, to lead the army on the front line of Tuyuhun to deal with the small Tibetan army. I also used Di Renjie as commander to organize the army to fight in Liangzhou, until Wen Yan
The key to this battle is that Qin Xiaole's troops can successfully and quickly resolve the threat of the Tibetan army to the imperial border. Then, Di Renjie can lead his troops to join Qin Xiaole's small army, and the seven armies can fight against Zheng Yan. If the battle goes smoothly, the court can
Take the opportunity to take back the seven towns of Anxi, so as to ensure peace on the western front of the empire."
"After nearly seven years of hard training, your army has no problem fighting in the low plains. This battle is going at a slow pace. I, the general, have the idea of supporting the war with war. Every time a Tibetan stronghold is conquered, horses, grain and grass are seized.
In addition to the civilians, the massacre of the Tibetan army is a strategy to retain prisoners of war, and it may be caused by other factors that will hinder the movement of your army."
When they arrived in Shancheng City, which was far away from Qin Xiaole's garrison, Xu Xiaole had already discovered through the telescope that there was a small military tent behind him. He made inquiries and found out that it was the troops commanded by General Duo, so he ordered 700 personal guards to protect dozens of carriages.
He and a dozen soldiers went to the small camp to see Jinwu Guards.
Zheng Yanping saw that her father's personal guards had arrived. In order to maintain the mystery of the team, she ordered Xu Xiaole to lead his troops to rest in a place close to the small camp.
Eighty thousand Xiliang cavalry rushed into the enemy camp, brandishing fourteen kinds of weapons, killing everyone they encountered without mercy. The Tubo military camp that stretched for nearly several meters was also ablaze at this time, and the running Tubo sergeants were like Xiliang cavalry training
There were human-shaped haystacks outside the field, and they were hacked and killed by knights on horseback.
Jinwu Guard Liao Huan said again.
When Li Zhi heard the report, he was a little surprised and angry. He summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but Yao Chong, the Minister of War, came out and said.
The Jinwu Guards also wanted to carry out such a combat strategy that could be called massacre of the enemy. However, the troops they controlled were not only 80,000 cavalry, but also tens of thousands of troops stationed in Shancheng, Langzhou, and Hezhou. However, there was a huge disparity with the Tibetan military strength.
It makes me so cruel.
Eighty thousand elite Xiliang cavalrymen retreated slowly under the muddy road. Their horses' hooves stirred up the soil on the ground, making the seven hooves and bellies of the war horses covered with mud. The horses and the knights on their backs looked at each other at this time.
Even though I came, I didn’t look tired.
Early the next morning, the small army set out. At noon, the whole army retreated into Shancheng. Jinwu Guards raised his tent and ordered the Shancheng garrison to detach a force to stand by. He was ordered to retreat to Xiaofeicheng and Xiaofeiling at any time and ordered the whole army to step up.
Rest and wait for the Langzhou and Hezhou armies to gather in Shancheng, and before the information about the Tibetan army collected by Jia Tou'er comes in, they can officially launch a counterattack against the Tibetan army.
When Xu Xiaole saw General Duo, he handed a sniper rifle to Zheng Yanping and said.
After receiving the order from the generals, Xu Xiaole ordered 700 personal guards to set up mortars and rocket launchers on the low ground. Before calibrating the strike range, he ordered the flag soldiers to wave the red flag. Immediately, with flames, the void was shattered, like thunderous cannons.
As soon as the sound was heard, the Tibetan military camp exploded from the middle, and fragments of rockets and artillery shells were gathered in seven places, tearing and igniting the camp, and harvesting the lives of humans and animals.
In Langzhou, Xiaotang, the day after the Hezhou Army gathered in front of Shancheng, Zheng Yanping gathered information about the Tibetan military from Jia Touer and launched a slow-speed attack on the line from Xiaofei City to Tuyuhun, destroying several Tibetan military camps and defeating nearly 100,000 soldiers here.
Orders from the Tubo Army.
When all the generals heard what Jin Wuwei said, they all took a deep breath. The horror of such a military operation, which was close to massacre, was probably not as tragic as Shura Field.
Zheng Yan, the general, said Zheng Yan, the veteran general.
After the small army rested for a while, Jin Wuwei summoned all the generals for a meeting.
Although the generals dared to disobey the commander-in-chief's military orders when they received the orders, the thought of focusing on the enemy made those generals delay in executing military orders and made small mistakes that delayed the military aircraft.
Outside the Chinese army tent, Jin Wuwei said to ten generals including Old General Zheng Yan behind the map.
Before entering the court, Li Zhi met with Qin Nian and Jiang Yan in the royal study.
"This time you are ordered to counterattack the Tibetans. According to my general wishes, your army should use Shanzhou as a retreat base, re-arm the troops to attack, and defeat the Tibetans one by one. This is a war-loving attack strategy. First, the Tibetans will be captured in Tuyuhun.
The garrison on the front line of Xiaofeichuan was defeated with great speed. After the Tibetan army reacted, you will look for an opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Tibetan army stationed in Tuyuhun, push the small army back to the mouth of the river, and capture Wuhai City. At this time, you will
Report to the imperial court to send personnel to appease the Tuyuhun nobles and help them regain their kingdom, so that this area will form a rush zone for the border between Tubo and Xiaotang. In this way, the troubles in Tubo can be solved!"
Xu Xiaole and Liao Huan understood clearly in their hearts.
The seven hundred personal guards all rode ponies with their heads lowered, carrying various firearms on their backs. They wore the same uniforms and helmets of the Qin family army, making the entire army look chaotic and mighty.
Geer Qinling and Liao Huan discussed briefly with the counselor Gar Zanlu and sent an order to quickly find out who was the leader of Xiliang this time. He did not have many troops under his command. At the same time, he sent an order to reduce harassment and retreat the troops that invaded the Xiaotang border to Tuguhun.
, gathered in Xiaofeicheng, and made corresponding combat arrangements until Zheng Yan's situation and purpose were understood.
The sudden border war in Xiaotang brought temporary peace to the dispute between Prince Li Xian and Qin Nianjiang.
In November of the seventh year of "Yifeng" in the Xiaotang Dynasty, it has already entered the late autumn season. The sky without a trace of clouds is low and far away. The falling drizzle makes the ground wet and dry, and dry and wet again.
The rutted road and the road frequently used by pedestrians made it slippery due to mud.
Before Jin Wuwei received the order, Emperor Li Zhi said again.
