Chapter 125: The Old Man Meets Again
Liang Zai was squeezed away by Zheng Xianli himself, and it stands to reason that he should be full of hostility towards Zheng Xianli, but now he is a man-made sword, and he can't show his resentment. In fact, Qin Jin is not afraid that this person will be resentful, as long as he is still in Chang'an for a day, he will be meat on the chopping board.
Transferring Liang Zai to Huainan West Road to serve as the envoy of the Jiedu is just a high-sounding statement, and he must not really go to Huainan, if so, wouldn't it give him the opportunity for this drought dragon to re-enter the water?
"With General Zheng's ability, as long as half of Anxi's soldiers and horses are concentrated, with the strong city walls of Qiuzi and abundant materials, it will not be a problem to support the rest of the year, and Doctor Qin can calmly arrange and transfer troops!"
Speaking of this, Liang Zai paused again and said:
"Of course, the inferences of the subordinates are also based on common sense, and if things change, it cannot be ruled out that Qiuzi will be captured in a short time!"
Tian Chengsi glared at him dissatisfied.
"After talking for a long time, doesn't it mean that he didn't say anything? Can Qiuzi hold it? How many soldiers and horses can Zheng Xianli gather?"
Liang Zai spread his hands, for the reason:
"Liang is in Chang'an at this time, how can he know how Zheng Jiedu arranges his troops?"
As he spoke, he slapped his head violently, as if he remembered something again.
"By the way, when Liang Moulin left Anxi, Zheng Jiedu seemed to intend to attack Broken Leaf City, as a springboard for the Anxi army to return to the river, but I don't know ......if he sent troops or not."
The people present even questioned and discussed, and Liang Zai asked and answered for no less than two hours, Qin Jin saw that he really couldn't ask anything, so he asked him to go back to rest first, and then let him come to a bucket to discuss when he had questions.
"This period of time is very much, Liang Jiedu's trip date can be postponed, wait for further news from the political affairs hall......
Liang Zai's heart was like an arrow off the string, but Qin Jin's words were tantamount to a basin of cold water poured down, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs after all, so he could only hold back his breath secretly and keep sighing in his heart. Anxi's incident came too suddenly, if it was more than ten days later, maybe he would already be on his way to Huainan.
But the truth is not allowed to be assumed, and he can only accept this seemingly helpless reality.
After Liang Zai left, Tian Chengsi was the first to express his dissatisfaction with this person.
The surnamed Liang has ill intentions, claiming that Zheng Jiedu can defend Qiuzi and stick to it for more than a year, which is clearly the heart of a lenient doctor, so as to delay the rescue and achieve his ulterior purpose. ”
Pei Jing, Xia Yuanji, and Fifth Qi did not speak, but quietly waited for Qin Jin to express his opinion. With Tian Chenghe's opinion, he also believes that the situation in Qiuzi is not as dangerous as imagined, after all, the Tang Dynasty has been operating there for a hundred years, and it is very close to Hexi, so it is not easy for foreign invaders to take it.
However, it is by no means as simple as being able to hold on calmly for more than a year, if it is determined that the crisis in Anxi is true, and the Turgish rebels have many complex forces behind them, and it is naturally the best way to send troops to rescue them one day earlier.
Qin Jin shook his head, Liang Zai was too angry in his heart after all, so that he was exposed intentionally or unintentionally now, so that Qin Jin changed his mind, he originally planned to send Liang Zai to Jiannan Dongchuan before he rushed to Huainan, but now it seems that only leaving this person in Chang'an, under his nose is the safest and safest.
"The previous plan is still inappropriate, you can first order the Hexi Jiedu envoy to raise people and horses to gallop to help Qiuzi, and then send an envoy to Anxi. At the same time, Guanzhong will immediately organize the men and horses to rush to Anxi, ready to set off at any time, I don't know what you think?"
"Doctor Qin's Mingjian!"
Everyone had no objection to Qin Jin's suggestion, in fact, only in this way could the situation in Anxi be saved as much as possible. Hexi is the closest to Anxi, and it is only half a month to arrive from Dunhuang County to Qiuci, so getting first-hand information about the situation in Qiuci is the most important thing.
Pei Jing was on an errand and could not stay in Chang'an for a long time, and he couldn't help Anxi's affairs, after all, it was absolutely indispensable to guard against the Khitans. Therefore, he can only put forward his own suggestions on the military affairs of Anxi.
Tian Chengsi is eager to try this, hoping to go to Anxi to show his strengths, although staying in Chang'an is beautiful, but after all, he has no chance of military merit, and his promotion will be slow. Even though he is a rough man who can't read a few big characters, he also has the dream of becoming a general, hoping that one day he will be able to enter the main government hall with a lot of military exploits like Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi. Of course, he didn't want his fate to be like those two, as long as he could match the military merits of the two.
"Doctor, the last general is willing to lead the troops to Anxi!"
Qin Jin shook his head, Tian Chengsi was not the best candidate to rush to Anxi, in fact, after he learned that the situation in Anxi had been repeated again, he had already thought of the most suitable person.
Wuhu Huaizhong, Wuhu Huaizhong is one of the nine Tiele tribes, the nobles of the same Luo department, and the same Luo department also has considerable appeal in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
Wuhu Huaizhong was born in the west of the desert and was very familiar with it, while Tian Chenghe, although he also had rich experience in battle formations, after all, he had only fought against the Khitans, and did not understand the complex situation of the Turgish and Qarluq tribes in the Western Regions, and he would not have a natural prestige advantage.
As early as ten years ago, the Tongluo Department of the Tang Dynasty was about to toss several times, even An Lushan took a lot of effort to surrender it, it can be imagined that the Tongluo Department of the year was so powerful.
Qin Jin once chatted with Wuhu Huaizhong, and Wuhu Huaizhong said that there were still a lot of troops scattered north of the Tianshan Mountains with the Tongluo Division, and if he had the opportunity to go back, he would definitely reconvene these troops scattered north of the Tianshan Mountains and become a sharp cavalry.
Previously, Qin Jin had no intention of letting Wu Hu Huaizhong go to the west, but now that there is chaos in Anxi, it is really appropriate to send this person over.
Located in the training ground of Chang'an's West Inner Garden, a group of neatly groomed infantry is skillfully operating the newly issued weapons, this is a batch of further improved thunderbolt guns, the weight is a full 30% lighter than the previous improvement, on this basis, the power after the explosion is basically not weakened.
They are the highest-ranking grenadiers in the Shenwu Army, and all the soldiers who join the grenadier battalion not only have strict requirements in terms of size and physical fitness, but even the training is several times harder than ordinary soldiers. Therefore, the glory of grenadiers is not easy to obtain, and the effort they have to put in is also several times that of ordinary people.
As the sound of the flute sounded rapidly according to a unique rhythm, hundreds of small black iron bumps were thrown over the grenadier formation, and in the blink of an eye, there were explosions one after another, and the smoke produced after the explosion soon spread over the training ground.
Qin Jin and Wuhu Huaizhong looked at these seriously trained grenadiers from a distance.
"Wuhu, you will soon go to Anxi, not only with cavalry, but also with these grenadiers, Anxi must not lose, you must only succeed in this trip, not fail!"
Qin Jin was accustomed to calling Wuhu Huaizhong Wuhu, which was certainly a way for him to communicate with his cronies, and Wuhu Huaizhong was obviously quite useful for this method.
"Even if there is only cavalry, the last general is sure to relieve the siege of Qiuzi, and with the foot soldiers, it has become a drag!"
Wu Hu Huaizhong was accustomed to cavalry combat, and always thought that the infantry was slow to move, and could not effectively annihilate the enemy, often a battle lasted three or five days, and the most annoying thing was that even if it was three or five days, a battle might not be able to distinguish the winner or loser.
If the cavalry advances and flanks are roundabout, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance that the battle will be over in a few hours just by using the tactic of fast and slow.
The strength of the cavalry of the Tongluo Department is not boasted, and it was used by Sun Xiaozhe to attack the city at the beginning, and it was precisely because of his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strength, and it was not unjust if he was defeated. But when it comes to field battles, I'm afraid even the Khitan cavalry can only be relegated to the back.
Qin Jin was also not in a hurry to persuade Wuhu Huaizhong to change his opinion, and people like Wuhu Huaizhong were usually very stubborn. Therefore, for his statement, he just smiled, and continued to walk forward, and said as he walked:
"I know that the commander of the infantry is not your specialty, so this time I will send you a lieutenant general to lead the infantry soldiers, you only need to decide where to fight and when to fight this kind of problem. ”
What Qin Jin said seemed to be an understatement, but Wuhu Huaizhong changed his previous disdain for the foot soldiers, and asked seriously:
"I don't know who it is?"
Qin Jin smiled:
"This person is also an old acquaintance with you, Che Rouhe!"
"Is that him?"
Qi Bihe has been following Qin and Jin since he was in Xin'an, and later was forcibly poached by Ge Shuhan in the complex political struggle, and Tongguan was broken by Sun Xiaozhe after he disappeared, in fact, he took a small number of troops to hide in the mountains and mountains south of Tongguan, the reason why he did not show up late was that he was afraid of being investigated by the imperial court for the crime of defeating the army, after all, the bloody example was in front of him.
Under the blockage of news, he held on to the mountains for several years, knowing that at the end of the year, Qi Bihe finally learned the news that the Shenwu Army had mastered the court situation, so he left the Qinling Mountains and rushed to Guanzhong to defect to Qin Jin.
Of course, Qin Jin was happy to reunite with the old people, so he made him a captain of the grenadier battalion according to the rank before Qi Bihe's disappearance, and commanded a battalion of grenadiers alone.
After several years of disconnection with the Shenwu Army, it took nearly three months for Che Moga to adapt to it, and now he finally put a grenadier battalion in order.
"See, the grenadiers under the command of Qi Bihe who have just practiced throwing thunderbolts are no longer inferior to the veterans of the Shenwu Army who have been fighting for a long time!"
At this time, a group of horses galloped from the south gate of the West Inner Garden, mixed with many handsome military officials, obviously, this is to find Qin Jin.
