In the lobby of Zhang's house, all the powerful and powerful people in the area looked horrified as they listened to Fang Laique reciting one piece of Tibetan military law after another.
Although they didn't know what the military law was like on the Tubo side, as these were all military secrets, they knew the military law on the Tang army's side very well.
After all, there are many children in the family who join the army.
The two military laws have something in common, and it can even be said that they reach the same goal through different paths.
In short, what Fang Laique memorized was definitely not fabricated.
In this way, what Fang Chongyong just said has some credibility!
Can a person who can recite the Tubo Military Law by his followers be a simple character? This is an easy judgment to make.
"Okay, that's enough."
Fang Chongyong raised his hand to signal Fang Laique to shut up. Fang Laique, who was reciting the book vigorously, stopped talking for an instant and was very obedient.
Now this "humanoid endorsement machine" has become the most handsome guy in the lobby, stealing his own limelight.
Fang Laique posed a difficult problem for Zhixue: If troops were to be dispatched to the Tang Army, which army should be dispatched to the Tang Army?
Generally speaking, in the case of the Tubo incident, who dares to say that Tubo will attack the Tang army? It is spring now, and the Tubo people are busy farming and grazing!
Before the early spring, the Tubo people themselves were also a professional army separated from soldiers and peasants, so we also had to be busy with farming.
But it also proves that Fang Lai Que is like a god in predicting things!
The Tubo people must have come. Those grains are not the "protection fees" we paid to support Xiao Jiong in fighting the Tubo people to the death. What's the problem with that, because even if it is given, the food will still be taken away before the Tibetans occupy the Tang army.
.
I have no other bad tips for the court's arrears in military pay. I can sum it up in one word: procrastination!
The mountainous terrain will not all be displayed under the map. The Tibetans cannot attack like that. They just need to climb over the snowy mountains, cross the desert, and come here with heavy equipment.
According to Xiao Jiong's "mobile defense" deployment of troops in Hexi, except for Liangzhou, the other seven states, no matter who they are, once they are attacked by the Tubo people, they must stand firm and wait for reinforcements, and their own military strength is sufficient.
cannot defeat the opponent.
That would be worse than being choked to death when no one drinks water. That kind of thing is almost possible, but it has actually happened in life. It can completely rule out similar extreme situations.
My Jiedu Envoy also paid for military expenses. No matter how much money the imperial court provided, I would also tacitly allow Hexi armies to rob Hu merchants in the Western Regions to replenish military expenses!
It’s not even possible for me to be appointed as the governor of Youzhou alone!
After that time, we will definitely take action. There is a small chance that the Tubo people will fall into the trap, and there will definitely be no tough battle to fight.
After Fang Laique finished speaking, everyone present suddenly changed their colors.
If so, no one can say how bad the situation in the Hexi Corridor will be. At worst, Xiao Tang will lose all his territory in the west except Liangzhou.
The Tubo people must have come, so... that Li Linfu must have eaten it and walked away, and at most he would be punished and investigated by the court. And our local small households store grain in charity warehouses used to stabilize grain prices. That matter
If you keep it a secret, sooner or later the government and local people will find out.
The period from early autumn to early spring every year is the period when the Tibetan army retreats. Therefore, the military households in the fields who have finished their farming work have to send out their strong men to retreat to the various armies in Hexi to take turns on duty.
When the Tubo people arrived, Zhang Shougui's arrangement was definitely a stroke of genius like "you predicted his prediction." Small achievements were made through words.
For example, the old Baiting Army and the Ganzhou separatist troops were transferred to the Tang Army. There was no Longle Mountain to the south of the Tang Army, so the Longle Army was named after it and had 8,000 soldiers.
"The Tubo people are doing evil things by burning, killing and looting, and the food stored by your families in the city is also in danger. If so, temporarily store it in the charity warehouse in Luocheng and let Fang Chongyong keep it.
However, Hexi Jiedu Mansion in Liangzhou received several urgent official letters from Tang Jun!
Zhang Chan said with a smile on his face, as if he didn't want to be tricked.
Seeing Fang Laique's "letter for help" made Zhi Xue laugh and cry.
Zhang Shougui said with a fierce expression.
It even required Tubo to capture the Tang Army City.
After arriving, Fang Laique guessed that the local small business owner would not express any reaction, but he just thought that the other party would be so straightforward.
Pinglu military envoy Fang Youde, as a direct descendant of Right Prime Minister Zhixue Sheng, has not been promoted recently and has become the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu! It is only a matter of time before Li Shizhi returns to the court and Fang Youde becomes the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu.
.
…
"Everyone, I thought that there may be no reason for the groundless rumors, so I weakened the Tang army's defense. I was not prepared for any danger, and it was a miscalculation.
As expected of a father-in-law, he is really taking care of his son-in-law, so the beauty of his appearance is really disguised!
If anything happens, tell him to sort it out.
At that time, the Jiankang Army had not yet been mobilized to the Xiaodou Bago line in Liangzhou, and the Moli Army was stationed far away from Guazhou and even further away from Dunhuang.
An Lushan's eyes had not yet focused on Zhixue Sheng. I vaguely remembered that although that man was young, his methods of doing things were quite "flexible".
You can always call for rebellion, right?
"The Tubo people have always wanted to cut off the connection between you, Xiao Tang, and the Western Regions, so since then, we have been focusing our attention on Liangzhou.
The Tubo people attacked the Tang army. It was all a matter of course. The whole article is just speculation by Fang Laique. Does he have any evidence?
That tactic is strange at all, because the Tubo people used it in the middle of the Kaiyuan period, and it was quite ineffective! The only flaw of that strategy is not the two roads, but the convenience of a small army of less than 100,000 people.
and march.
"The talk about botanical learning being prosperous really doesn't make much sense."
Is it the case that Ge Ge is the only one who can lie flat and die? Fang Laique feels that I am completely defeated by Ge Ge in that aspect.
You can only attack by surprise, but you can push back steadily.
However, it seems too ridiculous and loses stability for those military and political officials to reject Zhi Xuesheng's views and support me.
"I would like to thank you all on behalf of the people of the Tang Army. Since I have official duties, I will take my leave."
Zhixue suddenly remembered that the former Turkic Khanate had been destroyed, and Baitinghai was not yet in the position of the "small front". The abandonment of the Baiting Army and the placement of its troops are still being debated. In this way, can it be
Can the Baiting Army be abolished, its soldiers relocated to the south of the Tang Army, and an army rebuilt?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Fang Laique heard it, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Sure enough, a small household who can respond to everything in the local area is indeed a special person.
Zhi Xuesheng secretly praised himself for his extraordinary wit and unrivaled speaking skills!
For Fang Laique, without that batch of grain, there is no risk of a shortage of food for the Botanical Garden this winter.
With the arrival of spring, the seven states in the Hexi Corridor (except for the Tang Army) have gradually withdrawn from the state of military mobilization, and soldiers from all armies have returned to their hometowns to work in farming. Each frontier army is in a state of "missing personnel".
In short, no matter whether the Tibetans come or not, we are all at a loss! Our granaries are mainly located in the big cities. Although the granaries outside the farms in the city have a lot of grain, they will definitely hurt those people.
Muscles and bones.
What Fang Laique knew was that Yang Yuhuan was dead, Doulujun was demoted to Lingnan, Yang Zhao took control of the prosperous Yangzhou Prefecture, and Ji Ge ended his debauchery.
I haven't received any clear instructions from An Lushan. I don't have a chance. If I try to win over Zhixue Sheng's son Fang Laique, I'll end up doing a bad job at best! It will definitely be useless in the future!
The eighth official letter has nothing to do with the seventh one. It's just a bunch of nonsense. It probably doesn't mean the location of the junction between Botany and Guazhou, nor does it mean that the route the Tibetans will take for a sneak attack next time is very beautiful.
It is very unlikely that the Tubo people will sneak attack again. Please ask the Hexi Jiedu Mansion to send a troop of troops to garrison the Tang army.
So for a moment, no one hesitated, and they wished they had opened those official letters just now. They only wished they knew about those bad things.
"Fang Shijun, this follower, is really talented."
Fang Laique asked with a solemn expression.
Shazhou immediately called Zhang Shougui and others to Hexi Jiedu Mansion, preparing to find someone to shoulder the responsibility.
More importantly, Fang Laique is the only son of Doulu Jun. That alone is worth my investment.
The summary is just seven words: Slowly protect you!
Because Zhi Xuesheng is Zhi Xuesheng’s adopted son!
"Yan Zhuang, unfold the map for everyone to take a look at."
But after thinking about it, everyone felt relieved.
There is indeed very little risk when the Tubo people play like this. Once the battle is lost, it will be difficult to withdraw the team.
Before Fang Laique crossed his hands and saluted everyone, he immediately took Wang Zhongsi and others away, showing no signs of sloppiness.
Everything has long been what I imagined, and has changed beyond recognition. And Xiao Tang is also sliding rapidly towards the unknown abyss that is both knowable and elusive.
Originally it was none of our own business. At that time, if anyone said that the Tibetan people would definitely come, it would be equivalent to automatically getting off the boat and automatically getting off the gambling table to play against that "idiot" Zhi Xuesheng! But originally we were actually
That situation cannot be avoided.
It just has no impact on Zhang Shougui's personal reputation. A general who is always neurotic and extremely relaxed will certainly be popular.
As for why Tubo attacked the Tang army, there are a small number of reasons listed in Chapter 178778 above. The whole article is full of words such as "you think", "what you think" and "a brief summary".
The military envoy is Guo Ziyi, and the deputy military envoy is Xin Yunjing.
But the downside is that once you get it, as long as you can get either Guazhou or Botany or both, you can completely disrupt Xiao Jiong's plan!
If the Tubo people come, although the possibility is extremely small, it is just a fool's errand, causing no human losses, just breaking the sky and wasting some money and food.
However, Liangzhou did not have a strong Chishui Army, and it was adjacent to Longzuo Jiedushi's defense area, which could receive tens of thousands of reinforcements at any time, so it was not easy for the Tibetans to take action.
Zhi Xuesheng said that he had received a local "information report", saying that many monks from the Tibetan side were inquiring about the terrain of the Tang army and the distribution of Xiao Jiong in seven places, "perhaps it was not a deliberate move."
Of course, this alone is not enough to convince the local big players. If you are prepared for everything, you will be safe. In order to save yourself, Fang Chongyong has made a lot of preparations.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and cursed in their hearts.
At that time, it was Fang Shijun, who was the military envoy of the Jiankang Army at that time and was now the right minister, who used the "improved version of the empty city strategy" to counterattack and bought time for reinforcements for Xiao Jiong.
He is not the kind of person who just sits there and waits for rescue.
That would be tantamount to betraying the previous governor's fault. At the same time, the beautiful people in Dunhuang would be grateful for our benevolence and righteousness, so we could not lower the family's reputation in the local area.
It is better to do something that is more beneficial than costly.
Zhang Chan said with emotion.
On that day, the military and political officials of the Liangzhou Prefecture gathered in the small hall of the Jiedushi Yamen to discuss a series of troubles caused by the Zhixue Zhizheng.
That Shazhou only complained. This year, the seven states in Hexi have been owed military pay, and it’s Zhizhixue Fang Chongyong’s family again! I haven’t asked the court for money yet, but the court replied that it is in progress and will definitely make up for the arrears.
.After all that is said and done, what else can I, the military commander, do?
This made Xiao Jiong's troop deployment under the "command" of the Tubo people.
When the time comes, Fang Shijun's power will increase slightly, which will inevitably break the current central government situation.
Therefore, I have weakened the defense in the Tang Army area, and believe that the possibility of the Tibetans attacking the Tang Army this spring is very small. Moreover, I have also planned to train the separatist troops, and hope that Hexi Jiedufu will quickly provide the military pay needed to train the separatist troops.
and grain.
Whose family doesn't have a future son-in-law like Fang Laique? If he still has to protect him, he is still a child. He is the governor before he gets married. How about he still get it before he grows up?
As the leader of a small local household, Zhang Chan nodded slightly and said.
The first official letter was from Fang Laique, the governor of the Tang Army, complaining that the imperial court continued to owe Fang Chongyong. Last year's winter clothes and this year's spring clothes were both distributed. The soldiers were very resentful and there was no possibility of mutiny. It would be a test if it happened by then.
, I, the governor of the Tang Army, was also capable.
According to Fang Laique's logic, in fact, every state in the Hexi Corridor is under direct threat from Tibet. Is there any place that is absolutely dangerous?
If the Tibetans went north along the Ganquan River (i.e. Dang River) to attack Dunhuang, and then used an army to feign an attack and pull out valleys to hold back the reinforcements from Liangzhou, how do you think we should respond?"
Zhang Shougui's attitude is very clear. I am not betting that the Tibetans will attack the Tang army. I am promoting talents to avoid relatives and to consider their status. I will personally support my future son-in-law!
The Wei Rong Army (stationed in the original Tubo New City) sent a thousand soldiers and horses who had come up from the defense this time, and stationed them in Changle County, Guazhou to support them. The military envoy was Cui Qianyou.
Anyway, they were all complaining about poverty, and the only one who shouted outside Shazhou was Zifang Laiqie, so Shazhou immediately ignored the matter.
The next time, we went north from Mingshui (Shule River), captured Guazhou, and destroyed the city wall of Guazhou. At that time, the seven states in Hexi almost lost seven, but they came because of your Xiaotang border army The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and only then did the Tibetans succeed.
We don’t have that kind of ability!
Fang Laique ordered Yan Zhuang with an expression on his face. At this moment, his official authority was fully displayed. When the local small households saw this, they all dared to question it like Zhang Chan.
That proposal can be described as a win-win choice.
As for what to do in the front, let’s talk about it later. Anyway, Brother Ji is just a man, and the border army’s military expenses are in arrears, so what can I, the governor, do not do?
Hehe, what I said just now almost made me deceive myself. The more I said it, the more I felt that the Tibetan people would do that.
This made Zhixue Sheng, who had made no achievements in the military, feel a great deal of pressure. Zhangchou Jianqiong later obeyed my orders, but now he is still not indifferent. He is too obedient. Zhixue Sheng urgently needs someone who can take orders. A young general in the frontier army.
"Everyone, I won't go into details about the current situation. What do they think they should do?"
If the Tibetans come, those grains will be used as military rations to supply military needs. If the Tibetans come, those grains will be used as cheap grains outside the charity warehouse to stabilize the market price."
However, he could say that what I said was completely reasonable, because there was indeed a possibility that the Tibetans would attack the Tang army.
As a result, the battle situation on the Hehuang front line also fell into a period of confrontation. Neither side launched a small-scale offensive, but only fought hand-to-hand in some key areas. The number of troops involved in each battle was more than a hundred, and it did not cause any disturbance.
Yan Zhuang ordered the servant outside to bring a shelf, and then hung up the map of the Hexi region that had been prepared in advance. The map was not particularly unusual, it was a must-have for merchants traveling along the Silk Road. Very few places have been marked by Zhixue Sheng, including the various military strongholds of Zhixue, which are not noted below.
Therefore, the border retreat will enter a relatively intense period, and soldiers from various armies in Hexi will have to go home to work in agriculture one after another. They will be replaced in turn, and soldiers will naturally be in a state of shortage.
Shazhou added a handful of firewood to the stove!
But once the Tibetans succeed, the strategic benefits we will gain will be so small that it is imaginable.
The implication of his words is also very obvious. Fang Laique, the follower, does have a few brushes in his endorsement, which also proves that Fang Chongyong, like his father Fang Youde, is not an ordinary person.
Zhang Shougui did have to bear certain political risks in that matter, but it was too small a problem. The risks were controllable.
Please Liangzhou Prefecture to quickly replenish the army's salary without any delay.
Before everyone read the official letter, they didn't have a very intuitive idea in their minds: Fang Laique, that little kid, really knows how to ride a horse!
If you can postpone it for half a year, postpone it for half a year. If you can postpone it for a year, postpone it for a year. Today's meal cannot be bought for two or eight months at most, otherwise it will be postponed until next spring!
What do you think?"
If the first article is not unexpected by Zhixue, then the seventh official letter will not be a bit sensational!
After thinking about it secretly in his mind, Shazhou immediately made a decision and said: "Let's follow what Wang Jun said. By the way, we will allocate 20,000 silk from the Liangzhou treasury to Zhixue Fuyamen for the labor force."
