The next day, Wang Xun gathered his generals in the meeting hall, and in front of the messenger, he formally made the decision to recall the capital to aid. Then he announced that during his absence in Dawan, Huang Wanshan, as the governor of the metropolitan government, would take charge of various places.
Military affairs. As a member of the army of the Dudufu, Merzud also served as the prime minister of the Dawan Kingdom and was responsible for some civil affairs. As for the ruler of Dawan, Juche Bishi, at the invitation of the Dudufu, he "led" the army of the country to march eastward, and with other medicines
The soldiers and horses of the princes of Chashui worked together to fight against the royal family.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was already a commotion below. The generals either cheered or shook their heads, and they all wanted to come forward to offer their suggestions. Wang Xun pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be calm, and then said with a smile:
"The Tang Dynasty is the root of you and me. Mr. Wang has never heard of the principle that even if the roots are dead, the branches and leaves can continue to survive? This place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. It may not be too late for us to lead troops back now. How can we
Do you have time to discuss it again? I won’t say anything else today if it’s not relevant. I’ll check for any gaps and fill them up. It won’t be too late to wait until the governor has arranged everything!”
After hearing this, all the generals knew that the governor had made up his mind to return to the army. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, they had no choice but to clasp their fists and accept the order. Wang Xun nodded, called Huang Wanshan to the front, and solemnly ordered, "Originally, Wang wanted to take you with me.
Let's go together, but this blessed land was acquired by the brothers with all their hard work, and Wang is really not willing to throw it away casually. So I have to work hard for you, brother, to take care of this home for us. Wait.
Once the rebellion in the Central Plains is subsided, we will use this as our foothold to plot the entire Western Region!"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. As long as Mr. Huang is here, our flag will definitely be flying here!" Huang Wanshan, who has always been calm, knew that Wang Xun had left the entire escape route to him, so he cupped his hands and responded loudly.
"Even if our flag has to move eastward, I hope you are still there." Wang Xun shook his head and corrected the "omission" in Huang Wanshan's words with a smile, "Always discuss everything with Lao Mai to protect the brothers and this place to the greatest extent.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are the main ones. People are more important than land. As long as there are people here, everything else has a chance to be taken back!"
"No! I will remember it!" Huang Wanshan glanced at Wang Xun in astonishment and bowed his head deeply again.
Wang Xun stepped forward to pull him up and patted his shoulder hard. Then he turned his head, waved his hand to Sha Qianli and Yu Wenzhi, and solemnly ordered, "This is left to General Huang, and the relevant preparations before the expedition are up to you.
Two responsibilities. I think what is needed under Tongguan City at this moment are warriors who dare to charge into battle, rather than soldiers who can only wave flags and shout. Therefore, the brothers returning this time are not large in number, but strong in skill, courage, and dare to go into battle.
Fight with the enemy. You two go and gather your brothers and select those who are strong and skilled in bow and horse to go into battle. Anyone over thirty-five years old and has a family and business in the local area, regardless of Hu or Han, will be retained.
Come down to guard the home. Those who are under the age of thirty-five and have wives, children, and children at home who really need care, as long as they request to stay behind, they do not need to go out with the army. All the selected soldiers will have two mounts prepared for them, and each group of soldiers will
Equipped with two camels to help transport carry-on luggage.”
"No!" Sha Qianli and Yu Wenzhi strode out of the queue and bowed to accept the order.
Wang Xun nodded, grabbed the third command arrow, and handed it to Song Wu, "General Song, you take Aliyi and Ma Baoyu to be responsible for planning the expenses of the army along the way. Not only our own brothers must be included, but also Yao
I have also ordered all the princes along the Shashui River to send out five hundred troops each. They have come all the way, and we cannot let them prepare their own dry food!"
Song Wu and Aliyi also bowed to accept the order, and then quickly went down to perform the task. Wang Xun grabbed the fourth, fifth, and sixth command arrows and handed them to Fang Ziling, Wei Feng, Zhu Wuyi and others respectively.
Let them be responsible for making auxiliary preparations related to return reinforcements. After all the tasks were almost handed over, he turned his head and asked the messenger with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
"It's suitable! It couldn't be more suitable! The Governor is really lucky, strategizing, decisive, decisive victory. Thousands, thousands of miles." Fearing that Wang Xun would kill someone and silence him, the messenger was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep all night last night. Now that the dust had settled, Qiang
With his red eyes open, he was flattering.
"Wang's abilities were all taught by Commander Feng. The reason why the brothers have the courage to fight in front of the battle is also inseparable from Commander Feng's sincere teachings. I hope that when you return to the capital to resume your life, you will still pay attention to this place."
Whatever happened, report it to the superiors exactly as they are!" Wang Xun politely cupped his hands and made a request with a smile.
"That, that's natural, natural!" On someone's territory, how dare the messenger dare to say no? While returning the gift, he vowed, "I'll do it, I'll do it, don't worry. I'll go back."
After arriving in the capital, even if he didn't want to wear this robe, he would still convey the message to the governor. In fact, everyone in the court knew that Commander Feng was wronged. But there were a few villains at work...
..."
"How long can we hold on with the clouds covering the sun?" Wang Xun curled his lips, his smile looking a little cold. The messenger was startled, instinctively took a half step back, and kept echoing, "That's it, that's it. Earlier Zhou
General, General Zhou also once said that after returning to the capital, he would jointly submit a letter with his brothers to defend the grievances of the commander-in-chief. Now the court is in the process of appointing people. Anyway, you can't just accept a few slanderous words from a villain.
, then it chilled the heart of a fierce general!"
"It's best if the court understands this. Otherwise, Wang will not be willing to be the second commander-in-chief." Wang Xun nodded and gritted his teeth and added. If nothing goes wrong, half of the main force returning this time will be
They were the horse thieves he recruited, and the other half were veterans of the Anxi Army. The former only saw him as the governor, and his morale would not be affected by the court's treatment of Feng Changqing. The latter, however, regarded Feng Changqing as his own family.
Like an elder. If Marshal Feng really has a shortcoming, even if Wang Xun is willing to continue to work for the court, I am afraid that this team will collapse without a fight!
In order to prepare for a rainy day, Wang Xun deliberately spoke in a stern voice. The imperial envoy dared to refute, but just nodded. Knowing that this person could only play the role of a parrot at most, Wang Xun stopped following him.
What red tape? Turn around and continue to assign tasks to the generals under your command. Those who should be responsible for posting announcements to bring peace to the people will post announcements, and those who should be responsible for patrolling various places will patrol various places. Everything is as planned for a long time and arranged in an orderly manner.
As soon as the notice was posted, the people in the two cities immediately became confused. Some immediately packed their luggage, sold off their belongings, and prepared to flee back to the Central Plains or seek refuge in pastures outside the city. Some
With a prudent attitude, he went around to inquire about news and contact relatives and friends in order to make the best choice. After two days of noisy work, he found that the government market in the city was operating as usual, and the officials in charge of civil affairs continued to go to court to inquire about the case.
The soldiers also lined up in the streets carrying their weapons as usual. Even Cheng Jifenhao, who wanted to wear a pair of trousers with the governor, was open for business as usual, showing no sign of being ready to pack up and leave.
Why be anxious? There is still a big man holding up the sky when it falls! With a sense of luck, the people continued to hesitate and wait and see. Soon they were shocked to find that there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses preparing to follow the governor on the expedition, which was not as much as last year.
The scale of the war against the cannibals. And those soldiers who married wives and bought houses in the city did not seem to have received orders to go out. All circumstances indicate that the governor's office is only prepared to return to the Central Plains to handle errands in a symbolic way. The real
The main force still stayed with Dawan!
"It turns out there was no chaos in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the Hammer King would only bring this few manpower?" Someone's mind changed quickly, and he immediately drew the "correct" conclusion from the response measures of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
.
"It's probably to give an explanation to the superiors. It's so far away, and by the time they rush back, the battle will have been over long ago!" Some people inferred Wang Xun's "real" intention through the distance between Dawan and Chang'an.
There are also smart people who are secretly glad that they are not in a hurry to re-establish contact with the big cannibal. "Since the Hammer King dares to make the news of the rebellion in the Central Plains public, he must be setting a trap for Aikelamu. Wait for Ai
If that idiot Kailamu dives into the trap like last year, maybe the Hammer King will come out from behind him with his men and horses!"
There are many things, when hope still exists, people will always subconsciously think things in their favor. In the past few years, the governor's office has been controlling Yaocha water according to the Tang law, which does not treat the people like Dashi.
People are so harsh. The Hammer King himself is also a man who has seen the world. He is not like Juchebishi who was so strict. In addition, the people of the Tang Dynasty are religiously tolerant, no matter which god you believe in, whether it is Zoroastrianism or not
, Tianfang Sect, as long as you don’t interfere with government affairs, don’t violate the law, and don’t try to rebel, you can rest assured to recite your scriptures, and the guards will never find excuses to come... Various measures have made the local people
When there is no other choice, I prefer to be a Tang person who enjoys reality, rather than seeking some kind of belief in heaven after death.
The policy of benefiting the people that was inadvertently implemented in the past quietly showed its power at the critical moment. When the commotion among the people gradually subsided, the princes along the Yaochashui River, after weighing several times, also followed Wang Xun's request in the letter.
, each brought five hundred elite troops to join together. Wang Xun only wanted to use these soldiers and horses to "consolidate" his control over the princes, and did not expect to actually use them to fight. After a brief inspection, he sent them
It was handed over to Song Wu for unified deployment.
The kings of the two Cao Kingdoms in the East and West had a close relationship with Wang Xun. After assessing the situation, they took the initiative to request King Qin to return to the Central Plains. Some kings and city lords who had received large benefits from Wang Xun last year also came forward to ask for help. Under the watchful eyes of everyone
, Axilanda and other princes who had a normal relationship with the Dudufu had no choice but to follow the trend and request to serve the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xun first smiled and listened to what they said, then waved his hands and said loudly: "Your kindness
, Wang will definitely report it to His Majesty. But this return to the capital is just a formality at best. Let Your Majesty know our loyalty. Don't say that we may not be able to catch up with the decisive battle with the enemy, even if we are lucky enough to catch up.
, in a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, what role can we people play? At best, we can help beat the war drums and take in the prisoners! So you should not go, and leave the opportunity to see the world to your nephews
.After all, when you all grow old, we will still need them to support the affairs of the state!"
"That's true!" After hearing Wang Xun's relaxed words, the princes all agreed. Some of them thought quickly and became more convinced that this return of aid was just to express their loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and gain benefits. In fact,
If you only go around the Central Plains for a while, you will turn back. It is impossible to fight any war!
It’s no wonder that the princes think things are simple. In the past two years, Wang Xun and others have shocked the Western Regions, making the princes admire the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army. Along with this, they also mistakenly overestimated the military strength of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Times! And the territory under the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain is too far away from Yaochashui. Most of the princes have never heard of this person before. The few who have a vague impression of him only know about Jiedu, a town in the Tang Dynasty.
He's just an envoy. His level seems to be about the same as that of Wang Xun, the governor of Dawan. His martial arts and fighting ability are probably impossible to surpass that of the Hammer King himself!
Reminiscent of the fact that Wang Xun led the troops of more than ten countries to serve the king for thousands of miles, he will definitely win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When he returns from the Central Plains, his position will probably be promoted several more levels. And he is only in his early twenties now.
Now, he is already serving as the governor of Dawan and the interviewer of the Anxi Army. If he continues to rise at this rate, it is not impossible that he will completely replace Feng Changqing and become the governor of Anxi and the actual controller of the entire Western Region within three to five years.
For such a promising and generous boss, the princes must seize every opportunity to curry favor with him. Immediately, the lords of the Cao Kingdom in the East and the West responded to the call and ordered their eldest sons, brothers Cao Kang and Cao Hou, to take their father's place.
I will serve under the governor's account. I request Wang Xun to impose strict requirements on the two brothers and teach them more so that they can better serve the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Not to be outdone, other princes pushed out their first heirs to the throne and followed Wang Xun to the Central Plains for gold plating. Some of the princes who did not bring the heirs with them used the excuse that they were in a hurry and asked Governor Wang to bring him a few days later.
The army set off, giving my son and nephew an opportunity to gain experience in the Central Plains.
This move played into Wang Xun's plan, but he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed on his face. He hesitated for a moment, frowned and responded, "How can there be any reason to reschedule the army's expedition at will?! I will consult with an expert.
Three days later will be the auspicious day. If you miss it, you will have to wait another two months before setting off. No, no, since you missed it, just wait for the next opportunity. Please forgive Wang for not being able to make it easier for them this time.
Door!"
"The Governor is accommodating!" "The Governor will help you think of a solution. I will miss you forever!"
"What a pity to God. I have never been to the Central Plains in my whole life. The younger generation finally got the opportunity, but they have to miss it. What a pity to God, how pity the governor!"
Although the princes were forced by the cannibals to believe in Tianfang religion for a period of time, secretly they had various beliefs and worshiped their own gods. But no matter which god they believed in, they all respected the words of divination.
I don’t dare to ask Wang Xun to change the date anymore. I just ask him to think of how everyone behaved respectfully in the past and think of a way.
It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Wang Xun had no choice but to make a compromise. After thinking about it again and again, he whispered: "The departure date cannot be changed no matter what. But for the sake of your sincerity, I can slow down the march."
The speed will give them a chance to catch up with the team. But as we said, the people who catch up later can each bring up to twenty personal guards. If there are more, this governor does not have that much food supply!"
"We will bring our own dry food, bring our own dry food!" The princes were overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. At the same time, they secretly laughed in their hearts. Your Majesty, the Governor, did not have enough food and grass. He was obviously afraid that our people would go too much and look conspicuous. We would accidentally get it.
You have won the favor of the Emperor of the Central Plains and stole your limelight! Don’t worry, I will warn my son well and prevent him from competing with you! But if the Emperor of the Central Plains insists on rewarding him with an official position, it will be his own blessing, but not
