"Are they seniors Huang and Sha? Please come in and talk!" Wang Xun's face felt hot, and he quickly walked to the door of the military tent to welcome the two newly recruited subordinates into the tent.
It was the first time he commanded more than two regiments of soldiers and horses. He was inevitably a little confused and couldn't distinguish the priorities. Therefore, it was reasonable to forget to ask the prisoners about the enemy's situation. However, in front of two outsiders and seniors of the Anxi Army,
I really couldn't hold my head up. Fortunately, the newly recruited guard Wanqi Yuxie was very good at grasping Shangfeng's thoughts. Seeing that Wang Xun's face was a little unnatural, he immediately circled around the tent and pretended to be out of breath.
He ran back to the entrance of the military tent, and before Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan asked questions again, he loudly reported inside: "General Qi, General Yuwen said that he was ordered to interrogate the prisoners and got an important piece of information. It is being verified at the moment and will be sent soon.
It will be delivered!”
"This Yuwen Zida is always mysterious in what he does!" Wang Xun's face turned red again, and then he responded smoothly. "Go and urge him. Just say that this is during the march, not as good as Shule, and that's almost it.
.No need to make it too fancy!”
"No!" Wan Qiyu Xie stood solemnly and held up his hands, then pulled the 13th Guards Brigade Leader with his eyes straight, and trotted to find Yu Wenzhi.
They are both old Jianghu who have crawled out of the dead. How could Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan not see Wang Xun's pretentiousness? However, they were new to the country, and they didn't want to let the coach get off the stage. So they smiled and added one after another.
Said: "General Yuwen is indeed too serious. In fact, we can guess who is behind it without interrogating the prisoners."
"There are just so many stinky fish and rotten shrimps nearby, you can count them with one slap. Even if there is no evidence that they did it, if we knock on the door to ask for the mastermind, will they have the guts to deny it?"
"The two seniors don't know something..." Being a little confused by the arrogance of Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan, Wang Xun once again emphasized the strength of his side, "Wang only brought more than 600 people on this mission. Plus
The direct descendants of the two above and the newly captured prisoners, we only have more than 2,000 brothers!"
"Isn't more than two thousand brothers enough? There is an army of one hundred thousand from Fengjiedu standing behind us?!" Sha Qianli was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Xun's caution, glanced at him, and reminded him in a low voice.
"Shuai Feng, I'm afraid they won't be able to help us much for a while! The two seniors will sit down and drink tea for now. We have some inside information. Let's talk about it slowly." Wang Xun had no choice but to tell the truth about the origin of the mission.
Tell each other. The only thing that is hidden is that he was ostracized by Bian Lingcheng and had to go out temporarily to avoid trouble. "..., now it is about to enter winter again. It is even more unlikely that a large army will follow.
.I am afraid that the princes in the Hezhong area also know this, otherwise they would not have the courage to bribe the horse thieves and secretly embarrass the envoy!"
After hearing what he said, Huang Wanshan couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, patted the bench he sat on, and cursed loudly: "This eggless old eunuch is not dead yet? In the Battle of Talos, if he hadn't been there all the time,
If Gao Shuai fanned the flames in his ears, Gao Shuai would not march so fast that he would be cut off by the suddenly betrayed Geluluo people?!"
"Yes. That guy has deep roots in the army. Sometimes Marshal Feng has to be a little wary of him." Wang Xun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and agreed in a low voice. "But what can be done? After all, he is a member of the imperial court.
Those who come to supervise the army have the right to participate in military affairs!"
"He knows shit. He just didn't get enough benefits, so he tried every means to dismantle Jiedu's platform. The same thing happened to Feng Jiedu, who didn't have the dignity of a great protector at all, and was actually played around by a eunuch with no balls!
Let me see, our Tang Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later at the hands of these eggless guys." Huang Wanshan nodded and cursed more and more unscrupulously.
The second half of the sentence was a bit taboo. Sha Qianli couldn't bear to see his good friend get into trouble because of his words. He frowned and interjected in a low voice, "Fengjie has always been cautious when deploying troops. Even the supply of military rations cannot be guaranteed."
Under such circumstances, of course I would not risk the lives of my brothers easily. However..."
Looking at Wang Xun's face, his words suddenly changed, "I'm afraid Fengjiedu is a little too cautious this time. With so many cities on both sides of the Yaosha River, are you afraid that you can't find a place to feed an army of tens of thousands? Don't say that.
It’s only 20,000 to 30,000, or more than 100,000, if we go from city to city, we can still collect three years’ worth of military rations!”
"Yes, if we don't have military rations, we will just feed on the enemy. Why should we be polite to these bastards?!" Huang Wanshan's eyes lit up when he mentioned robbery.
Who are these two people? They are really used to being horse thieves, and they regard the Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers as bandits! Wang Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, and did not agree with the views of the two seniors at all. Sha Qianli is a smart man,
Seeing the corner of Wang Xun's mouth, I understood the general idea in his mind, smiled, and continued: "We have already sent our troops to the door of other people's houses. If we talk about benevolence and righteousness, isn't that just trying to trick the devil? Besides,
In this area of the river, it has always been about the weak offering sacrifices to the strong. If you win the battle and don't grab food or livestock, people will still feel that you are not strong enough and you are leaving a way out for yourself. The cannibals have taken advantage of all the city lords and the country in recent years.
The masters were so forced that they were almost wearing pants, and no one dared to think of resisting. On the contrary, our Anxi Army treats everyone with leniency, but it has fostered a group of rebellious people!"
This is quite realistic. Wang Xun has no way to refute it. However, what needs to be solved now is how to find a way out of the predicament, rather than making suggestions for Feng Changqing. Therefore, he smiled, waved his hand gently, "Two
What the senior said makes sense, but now we are far from being strong. With the few soldiers and horses in our hands, we can only protect ourselves. If we want to seek revenge, I am afraid someone will take advantage of us..."
"Sha Mou disagrees with this!" Even though he has appointed Wang Xun as the coach, Sha Qianli is not willing to watch the other party make mistakes, "We are not strong enough, except ourselves, who knows better? Besides, Sha Mou listens
It is said that the flag of General Duan Xiushi appeared near Kumi City half a month ago. If we photograph a few people flying his flag as suspected soldiers, and then place more flags in the army, it will surely make the nearby city lords and kings
I was so scared that I couldn’t even sleep!”
"Yes. What's more, you have the title of King of Hammers. As long as you fight it out, who is willing to go forward with your head and die?" Huang Wanshan thought for a while, and then whispered in agreement. "If they really dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
If they do, it means it is clear that the chariots and horses are going against the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely not be spared after the festival. If they don't have the courage to leave the city, hey, that's a shame. There are granaries, haystacks and other things outside the city that are too late.
The livestock that were withdrawn from the city can be used to atone for their sins!"
These two people are really very courageous. In just a few words, they came up with a proactive strategy. Seeing that Wang Xun couldn't react for a while, Sha Qianli thought about it and analyzed it in a low voice: "This place in the river is
Border cities are different from those in the Central Plains. The people here usually do not grow food, and rely entirely on grazing and milking to survive. Livestock, hay, and the dried meat, leather, and cheese accumulated in daily life cannot be sent to the city for unified storage.
.So there are several large and small fortresses outside almost every city. There are not many defenders in these fortresses at ordinary times, and they cannot be taken care of during wartime. As long as we scare the defenders in the city so much that they dare not come forward, we can supply supplies.
You can take it as you please. And some shepherds are always dissatisfied with the city lord. They have lost their winter belongings. Apart from joining us, there is no other way to survive!"
Isn't this still a robbery? Wang Xun felt secretly bitter in his heart when he heard this. Before he could refute, Huang Wanshan followed up on his good friend's words, "If there are fewer people, we must be afraid of the one with more people. Then Lao Sha and I
They were killed by the nearby city lords a long time ago. The actual situation is that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. In the past two years, every time before and after winter, Lao Sha and I have to go to the city to enjoy the autumn breeze. Those city lords
, the kings clearly sent some soldiers and horses to kill us two, but you look at me, I look at you, no one is willing to take action first! Sir, do you know why this is?"
"Why?" Wang Xun couldn't help but be surprised and asked smoothly.
"Even if a famous general in ancient times went out and killed three thousand enemies, he would usually lose eight hundred! Besides, among these kings and city lords, which one is the material for a famous general?" Huang Wanshan also suddenly became more articulate, and with the help of Wang Xun's
The question was eloquent, "To kill our more than 600 brothers, they themselves will have to kill and injure the same elites. How can a small country as big as a palm have so many elites to lose? Once the losses are too severe, maybe
He will be eaten by others the next day. So, it is better to turn a blind eye, give up some livestock and money, and buy a rest!"
"Well!" If there was an elder around him, Wang Xun would really like to ask him for advice on how to make a decision. Unfortunately, even Feng Changqing is hundreds of miles away now, and the only one he can rely on is himself. After pondering for a long time, he
Then he asked tentatively, "What do the two seniors mean, let's take the initiative to knock on the door and show off the majesty of the Tang Dynasty?!"
"Yes!" Seeing Wang Xun finally enlightened, Sha Qianli slapped his thigh with joy, "The imperial envoy turned out to be a bluff anyway, let's just fight to the end. Find a city at random and attack him on the charge of colluding with horse thieves and murdering the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
. Let’s see if the people in the city have the courage to openly become enemies of the Tang Dynasty at this juncture!”
The answer is basically no. Even if someone dared to secretly plot against the envoy and make him openly become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, they would not be able to muster up the courage even if they had the courage to do so. At this moment, Wang Xun also believed that Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan
The suggestions of the two men were indeed feasible. Originally, he just wanted to lead the danger from darkness to the light and force the surrounding princes to express their attitude. But the suggestions of Sha and Huang went a step further and actually relied on
The Anxi army's unrealized power forced the princes on both sides of the Yaochashui River to sign a city-wide alliance.
This plan is not audacious. But if it succeeds by chance, the shock it will bring is even more immeasurable. Especially after the signing of the first alliance under the city, the surrounding princes may become more and more frightened. All the black hands stretched out, either
Quickly retract or expose directly to the sun. By then, you will be able to deal with it much more calmly than now.
Thinking of this, he finally calmed down and shouted outside in a low voice, "Bang the drum! Call the captain or above to assist the central army to discuss matters."
"That's right." Seeing that Wang Xun finally adopted his suggestion, Sha Qianli couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. "In this land, we are the only men in the Tang Dynasty who can run rampant. When have we escaped from others?
