In fact, the Governor-General Yu Juluo rushed to Yongzhou with 100,000 troops. This was the first large-scale use of troops in the northwest since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty to counterattack the Turks and Tuyuhun people. It also marked the Sui Dynasty's shift from passive defense to active offensive.
The prelude to the Sui Dynasty's comprehensive counterattack against the Turks.
There were 100,000 troops stationed in Yongzhou alone, and Yujuluo brought another 100,000 elite troops to guard the capital, with a total strength of 200,000, which was nearly 20% of the combat troops of the Sui Dynasty.
Coupled with all kinds of logistical equipment, the states, prefectures, and counties have piled up mountains of grain and fodder, and requisitioned countless horse-drawn and ox-carts. It is estimated that the number of logistics civilians mobilized alone will not be less than 500,000, and an average of one soldier will
Two to three civil servants are required to provide logistical assistance.
Since ancient times, no matter how the war model develops, wars in many cases ultimately focus on national power.
…
…
Standing on a horse on the north hillside of Tianshui City, Wang Junlin was shocked as he looked at the endless camp at the bottom of the mountain. He had only been on the road these days. Although he heard on the way that the imperial court had sent another army, he did not expect that the army had already arrived in Tianshui.
Outside Shuicheng.
What Wang Junlin saw was the 100,000-strong army led by Yu Juluo.
One hundred thousand troops set up camp in a flat open area outside Tianshui City. The army set up camp meticulously. Because they were marching to camp, they did not set up camp fences. Instead, they used carts to spread out around the perimeter. They dug shallow ditches in front of the carts, buried deer antlers, and placed them at intervals.
A tall sentry tower was erected at Baibu, and a dense number of horse spears were inserted behind the car to prevent enemy cavalry from breaking into the camp. In the middle was the military tent, and there were other tents where miscellaneous animals and other items were placed.
In the Sui Dynasty, there were twelve permanent guards, each with ten chariot and cavalry offices. The army commanded by Yu Juluo happened to be the soldiers of one guard, and all of them belonged to the central government, and each government had ten thousand people.
These thousands of large tents are stationed according to the ten prefectures, and are distinguished by the flags of their respective generals. In the middle is the obviously larger Qinglong Commandery Flag with gold wire as the edge and the big "Fish" written on it.
The word 'fish' was fluttering in the wind. Wang Junlin faintly saw the word 'fish' and suddenly thought of a person, the famous Governor Yu Juluo who ranked fifth among the nine heroes of the Sui Dynasty in history. Can Wang Junlin remember this person?
Because he had read Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the surname Yu was too rare.
As far as Wang Junlin knew, Yu Juluo was very brave and was known as the first general of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Junlin remembered that in the ranking of heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the famous Yuwen Chengdu, who ranked second, was Yu Juluo's apprentice. But
You can imagine how powerful this person is, and you can get a glimpse of it from the current marching camp.
Thousands of camps are neat and orderly. The army is organized according to its organizational system and arms. Each battalion has its generals leading patrols and rotating in two shifts. Every detail is meticulous.
This was Wang Junlin's first time to see an ancient marching camp, and it was a camp for a hundred thousand troops. In addition, the position where he stood had an excellent view, and he could just overlook and take in everything.
This shocked Wang Junlin greatly, and unintentionally affected his state of mind and even some of his decisions.
Walking back from Longxi in the past few days, Wang Junlin had some hesitation and thought about where to go.
At first, he had no choice but to join the army because he had an agreement with Han Ziliang and was assigned military status by Han Ziliang. Later, when he saw the power of Dugu Moyu, the general manager of Yongzhou, he had ambition or ambition in his heart for the first time. But after experiencing life and death in Longxi County, he saw with his own eyes that
As an ordinary soldier, Liu Gang found out how easy it was for others to die, which gave him other thoughts.
Just before seeing the 100,000-strong army camp, Wang Junlin once thought that Longxi was occupied by the Qiang and Turks, and Liu Gang and others had been killed in the battle. He quietly left to make a living in Guanzhong. Han Ziliang would probably think that he was dead.
However, just now, after seeing the shock of a hundred thousand troops and a ten-mile company, his thoughts became firm in an instant.
The external reason for this change is certainly the 100,000-strong army camp, but the internal reason is that Wang Junlin himself is a warrior, a brave warrior. Although he comes from later generations, it is undeniable that he is still a Chinese
A member of the army. Now that foreign tribes have invaded the border, and hundreds of thousands of troops are rushing to the front line to fight for their lives, how can I be a deserter?
After staring at the camp at the foot of the mountain for a long time, a flash of determination flashed in Wang Junlin's eyes. He wanted to see Yu Juluo, but he was never willing to just be an ordinary soldier, because soldiers died too easily in a war.
, even if his king Junlin's military force is not weak, as long as he is still a soldier, it doesn't make much difference.
Therefore, he couldn't just go to see Yu Juluo, but fortunately he was fully prepared.
…
In the headquarters of the Chinese army, Yu Juluo looked gloomy. He had just arrived in Tianshui County the day before yesterday when suddenly beacon smoke representing the fall of the city came from the direction of Longxi County. This surprised him and he hurriedly sent scouts to Longxi County to investigate, but before the scouts,
Before returning, he did not dare to act rashly, because the road from Tianshui County to Longxi County was full of canyons, and there were too many places where the enemy could set up ambushes. He did not dare to advance rashly without knowing the enemy's situation.
But if the Tuyuhun people had captured Jincheng County and Longxi County, he would never believe it. So after a day and night of discussions with his generals, he came to the conclusion that the enemy sent out surprise troops, took a detour, and captured Longxi City.
This time he was the commander-in-chief. Before the expedition, His Majesty personally poured wine for him and earnestly warned him to not only drive away the Tuyuhun people, but also take the opportunity to capture the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye and Xiping. And these were the three provinces of Your Majesty and the imperial court.
The lowest goal of the six phases.
However, he had just arrived at Tianshui County when he received news of the fall of Longxi City. Such a start really put the pressure on him as great as Mount Tai.
At this moment, there was a faint noise outside the tent, mixed with the faint sound of horse hooves.
Yu Juluo frowned and asked: "What's the noise outside?"
A soldier at the door ran in, knelt on the ground, bowed and said, "Grand Governor! A soldier came from Longxi, claiming to bring urgent military information."
Yu Juluo's expression condensed and he stood up suddenly.
In the Chinese army camp, the camp gatekeeper Li Feng personally led four soldiers to clear the way in front, followed by a tall and burly young cavalryman, galloping straight towards the commander's tent where Yu Juluo was. One of the soldiers
The soldiers were still lined up in front of Li Feng, and behind them were four red flags. Each red flag had the word "urgent" written on it, and when connected together, it means "urgent! Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!".
Wherever he passed, everyone fled, and no one dared to complain, simply because this was an urgent military situation of the highest level.
The distance from the gate of the camp to the commander's tent is seven or eight miles away. Otherwise, it would take more than ten times the time to get there. If this delays the military situation, no one would dare to take this responsibility.
This tall young cavalryman is none other than Wang Junlin, who wants to exchange the information he knows for military success.
A group of people reined up their horses and jumped off ten feet away from Yu Juluo's tent. The camp gatekeeper Li Feng jumped off his horse and shouted to Wang Junlin: "Follow me."
Wang Junlin did not dare to neglect, and quickly dismounted from his horse to follow. Li Feng walked forward quickly and said loudly: "Quickly report to the Governor, there is major military information in Longxi." He had briefly inquired before bringing Wang Junlin here.
Wang Junlin knew that the information Wang Junlin brought was of great importance, otherwise he would not have acted like this.
The soldiers around Yu Juluo had already received instructions from the commander's tent. They took the swords from Li Feng and Wang Junlin's crotches according to the routine rules and said: "Please come in, the governor has been waiting for a long time."
Wang Junlin took a deep breath and followed Li Feng into the commander's tent. The two of them knelt down on one knee and performed the military salute. Li Feng said loudly: "Report to the Governor! This person has brought important military information to Longxi..."
This is the first time Wang Junlin has come to this world to meet celebrities and famous generals who have been recorded in history. His heart is full of curiosity, and he can't help but look at it secretly. At this glance, his pupils are filled with excitement.
Shrink.
I saw that this man was six feet six tall, in his forties, with unusually broad shoulders and particularly long arms, as if he had the strength of a thousand pounds. What was even more surprising was that his eyes were different from ordinary people, they were actually double pupils.
His gaze was as cold and stern as a tiger's. Even Wang Junlin felt like a cold wind blowing against his face and his heart tightened when his gaze swept across him.
This is the aura of a famous general of a generation. The aura is overwhelming and truly extraordinary, especially with these rare pairs of pupils. A single glance can scare the pee out of a timid person.
But Wang Junlin didn't know that because Yu Juluo looked different from ordinary people and had two pupils, there were rumors that it was the portrait of an emperor. After the death of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, Yu Juluo was jealous of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty and was
Beheaded in the city.
Hearing this, Yu Juluo's expression condensed, he looked Wang Junlin up and down, and shouted: "Who are you? What kind of military intelligence you bring, why don't you quickly present it to me."
Wang Junlin was excited and said loudly: "I am a soldier of General Han Ziliang of Tianshui County Chariot and Cavalry Mansion. I personally saw the Qiang Ge Dao tribe and Turkic cavalry attack Longxi."
Yu Juluo's eyes lit up, and he said to the civilian official sitting behind a short man on the left: "Zhang Changshi, you personally go to the Tianshui City Chariot and Cavalry Mansion to check his military status."
Zhang Changshi bowed and said yes, glanced at Wang Junlin, and left the tent.
Yu Juluo then looked at Wang Junlin and said: "Wang Junlin, now tell me everything you have experienced, seen, and found out. If there are any omissions or those who dare to lie, I will kill them in accordance with military law."
Your head. But if the military information you said is important and true, I will give you a great credit."
When Wang Junlin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. This was what he had been waiting for. He immediately told the story in detail, starting from the encounter with the Qiang ambush in Beidao Canyon, until Longxi City was captured by the enemy, and how he risked his life to lurk in Longxi City in order to find out the military situation.
Several enemy scouts were captured nearby. After interrogation, they learned that with the help of the Qiang Ge Dao tribe, three thousand elite Turkic cavalry broke into pieces around the trail and sneaked into Longxi County, and that Lonely Moyu, the general manager of Yongzhou, was captured by the Turks, and that the Turks
People used this to fraudulently open the city gates and break into the city, etc.
Finally, Wang Junlin talked about how he broke through the enemy's blockade and the scouts' pursuit, traveled hundreds of miles day and night, and returned south to Tianshui County to report the news.
