Chapter 496 Shawshank, oh no, Gao Xianzhi's redemption

Chasing the dead and chasing the north, bleeding and drifting, can create a scene, but not far away, there are already many tributaries of the Chu River that have turned red because of this battle. One or two of them blocked the river because of the accumulation of corpses.

In less than two hours, thousands of arrows had already been shot out of Wang Sunsin's hands, which already showed that he had returned to the peak state of his previous life. And his goal, almost never missed. This is something that is very difficult to do on a mobile battlefield. Generally speaking, he has returned to the state of fighting on the battlefield of the Northern Song Dynasty in the 11th century.

But now as a commander, he has to do more than just kill the enemy.

"Clean up all the corpses from those rivers, quickly, and don't let them contaminate the drinking water."

Considering that the army will build more fortified cities in the area in the future, the need for drinking water will be their most important part. In fact, on the ancient battlefield, there were many marching routes that could not be too far away from the water source, otherwise even the best trained soldiers might not be able to perform the normal level of training because of their weak bodies. In this way, failure is inevitable.

Such a thing, even if it enters the era of hot weapons, will often happen in the era when logistics cannot keep up. During the Battle of Menglianggu during the Liberation War, Zhang Lingfu's defeat certainly had problems such as the in-depth lone army, but it was also inevitably related to the shortage of water sources.

In view of the fact that there will be a number of forts to be built in the local area for garrisons, and even several cities are planned, the security of water resources must be addressed. After all, it is impossible for the empire to send the relevant equipment of the water disinfection technology from the first time.

The victory of this battle was soon spread to the north and south of the river. After all, the empire has entered the age of electromagnetic communication, and the news of victory no longer needs to be delivered by Edepides—well, there are too many translated names for this man, and eight have already been seen in a short period of time—to convey it with life as a sacrifice.

However, the communication soldier who accompanied Wang Sunsin in the battle looked like an indigenous person who had been urgently cultivated by the reborn. Looking at the way he is wearing an ancient costume, there is no sense of disobedience at all, but an antenna and radio station full of modern atmosphere. No matter how you look at it, it can't match him.

The communications corps was quickly replied by Guo Kan, who ordered Wang Sunchen's troops to stand by and send reconnaissance troops to inquire about the latest situation of the surrounding tribes. There was no need for him to tell him about this matter, Wang Sunchen had already started cleaning up the battlefield long ago. A similar arrangement was made.

At the same time, Guo Kan also informed Wang Sunsin of the emperor's latest decision. It turned out that the core institutions of the empire not only began to recruit a large number of talents in the civilian population, but also prepared to send all the generals who had fought in Central Asia in their previous lives after Wang Sunsin's crucial victory. As for the Central Plains generals who were willing to take the initiative to come, they were also allowed.

All of a sudden. The Western Front is about to receive an unprecedented replenishment of talent.

Guo Kan was obviously very excited about this news, because the group of people he trusted was not a three-minded person. It is an authentic descendant of the empire, which will not only objectively help him avoid an unfavorable situation, but also prove from another aspect how much the emperor and cabinet members attach importance to him, and subjectively stimulate his fighting spirit.

As for Wang Sunchen, he was not so happy. As the first subordinate of Guo Kan who loves to establish a military industry here, he will definitely become the object of competition among others, and the next open and secret battle will be surging.

However, there is one thing that came a little earlier than those open and secret battles, and that is the reward for his victory.

Tokmak General Troops.

General Soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, it was not an official position with a fixed rank, but it was an official title with fixed authority. Wang Sunsin knew, of course, that he had become the most powerful military commander in the land under his feet, which had just been annexed to the empire.

Sitting on the edge of the Chu River, Wang Sunsin could not help but complain a little about the ruling class of the empire, thinking that a group of Kazakh cavalry might rush over at any time on the other side to try to take revenge on this military operation. For a man who has long lived on the battlefield of self-defense and counterattack, it is more eager for peace than the average general. Perhaps influenced by his contemporaries, he still had a sense of peace. For the active foreign war, in his opinion. The problem is not necessarily moral, but more of the idea that "if others don't mess with us, why don't we have nothing to do".

For this, Wang Sunsin is both to himself. Or to others, it seems that it has not been mentioned. It was as if such thoughts had never existed in his world. It's just that he didn't realize that subconsciously, this kind of thinking of his had long been ingrained. It's just that his energy is more focused on war and officialdom, if it weren't for Guo Kan's superior. No matter how you look at it, he is an honest man who will not be greedy for credit, and perhaps he will have no time to think about these things.

He spent several weeks quietly on the banks of the Chu River, and the enemy attack he hoped for never appeared. This made him even more worried, as he realized that the fighters' ideas were actually suitable for his diametrically opposite. In the first days, their nerves were tense, for fear that the enemy would immediately launch the most ferocious counterattack at this time. However, when the enemy did not appear in front of them for a long time, their nerves, which had been tense, began to become strained, and they could not withstand the test of any alarm or emergency.

Fortunately, what Wang Sunsin was most worried about was that Qing did not appear, and although the scouts he sent out could not explain why the enemy did not attack, he did not need to think about this problem anymore. Because the forces mobilized by the emperor to participate in the war have come to Tokmak one after another. They are all vigorous and vigorous, obviously ready to show their strength. If the enemy rushed over at this time, then Wang Sunsin would not worry about victory or defeat.

At the same time, most of the projects have also entered the white-hot stage with their arrival. Robots drawn from the future began to take on the work of military engineering.

Wang Sunchen looked at the silver-white iron lump that was easily carrying a large city brick, leisurely walking towards the city wall, and couldn't help but touch his sturdy body. The robot glanced back at him, and seemed to have decided that he had no intention of attacking, so it didn't take it seriously.

"Tsk, if this group of iron lumps can also be put into battle, then what else can we fight, and we will win directly. Don't talk about these ancient cold weapon regimes, even if they are splendid countries and Sam countries. No problem. ”

Hearing Wang Sunchen's words, Li Siye, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who had just arrived here, said: "The idea is quite good, but with such a powerful force, aren't you worried about them backlash?" What happened to the Great Prime Minister in the future world. It's not that you don't know. Artificial intelligence has evolved the idea of wanting to control humans. The Three Laws of Robotics don't necessarily limit them. Now, although they are overkill as construction workers, at least, they don't have much access to military secrets, even if there are intelligent programs that want to manipulate their coup. Then they probably don't have enough methods. ”

At this time, Li Siye was already an envoy of the Cancer Palace. As the palace division army corresponding to the zodiac signs that were valued by the emperors, his troops were considered the elite of the elite, and they also followed him to the battlefield on the Western Front at this time. In order to ensure the victory of the Central Asian layout, the emperor sent elite forces, I heard that they were far more than them.

Wang Sunsin's current official position is not as good as Li Siye, so he slowly stepped forward to salute respectfully. The other party was not ambiguous, led this cadre, and honestly returned the courtesy.

Wang Sunsin knew that this was a general who did not have much political intelligence. In the midst of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, he died on the battlefield because he was in a hurry. But even so, history's evaluation of him will not be low, no matter how you say it, it will be stronger than An Lushan, who was reborn with him.

Just thinking like this, Wang Sunchen saw the two people standing behind him, and couldn't help but be shocked: "An Lushan, Shi Siming? How about the two of you? ”

Since being reborn, An Lushan and Shi Siming's life has not been easy. They were repeatedly ostracized in the Tang Dynasty Society, and the reason was naturally the rebellion of the previous life. Pushed a powerful Tang Dynasty to the brink of collapse.

Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared An Lushan, Wang Sunchen, you are indeed surprised, not because he was famous by himself in his previous life, but because this guy is uglier than himself. Wang Sunchen only felt that the sadness when he was looked down upon by the little lady next door for so many years was suddenly gone.

Behind Fat Man, another general was looking at the city being built in the distance, and said something in his mouth.

Wang Sunsin's hearing was not very good, but he could hear a single word at such a close distance. "Talus, Talus."

Wang Sunchen, who was greeting other generals, glanced at him in surprise. Who is this man, and how do you know that this city that has not yet been built is called Talas?

No, the name Talas was originally used in history. Of course, Wang Sunsin will not forget that the bitter defeat of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire in Central Asia is called the Battle of Talas.

Could it be that this person is the former Anxi Duhu, Gao Xianzhi?

Sure enough, the person next to him tugged at his sleeve and asked him to say hello to Wang Sunsin, who was now hot.

"General Wang." Gao Xianzhi clasped his fists and saluted.

"Gao Du Hu." Wang Sunchen respectfully returned the salute.

Speaking of which, Gao Xianzhi and Guo Kan also have some origins. Let's not mention Guo Ziyi's relationship, just say that the Abbasid dynasty of the Arab Empire, which once defeated Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas, that is, the black-clothed food, and then the final fate was destroyed at the hands of Guo Kan.

At present, Wang Sunchen, as Guo Kan's subordinate, naturally has a certain psychological advantage. But if he was asked to defend the city of Talas, he would not be absolutely sure.

At the moment, he is still the chief soldier here, even if Li Siye's official position is far higher than his own, but since he is here, he has to listen to his command. Since ancient times, the treatment of guest generals and guest troops on the Chinese battlefield has basically been the same.

What Wang Sunsin is good at is intrigue within the army, and as for what political ideas, he basically lacks them. Even if he wanted to command them to do something, he wouldn't easily speak directly, after all, letting a group of superiors follow his command might cause resentment in their hearts.

Therefore, the best way is to report your thoughts to your superiors, saying that you may not be mature enough to think about them, and hope that your superiors will give guidance. This time, he reported to Guo Kan that he hoped to let Gao Xianzhi guard Talas City. But it was feared that he would not be able to overcome the psychological shadow. So hesitated.

Guo Kan naturally didn't expect that he would have so many twists and turns, and agreed to his idea without hesitation, so a telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition appeared in front of Li Siye and Gao Xianzhi. The two of them were the main military commanders of the Battle of Talas.

"You want us to defend the city of Talas." Li Siye said to Gao Xianzhi.

Before Gao Xianzhi could speak, An Lushan next to him complained: "He is a long snake palace envoy, why should he order you, the palace envoy of the zodiac." Although there is no explicit rule, everyone knows that you are the Son of Heaven's own army. ”

"Shut up!" Li Siye felt that An Lushan had the idea of sowing discord, and immediately scolded him fiercely.

An Lushan left in a huff, but Shi Siming was still laughing on the side. But for the sake of him not saying anything, I didn't do anything with him.

"Lao Gao, what do you say about this?"

After all, Li Siye is just a general, and he is very poor in politics and strategy. Even the level of intrigue in the army is not as good as Wang Sunchen. However, he lived in a more suitable era for military generals than Wang Sunsin.

According to Wang Sunchen's skills, if he lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, maybe he would also become a strong contender for the protector of Anxi and even the envoy of Anxi.

But now, after all, they were sent by the emperor to support the front line. The emperors seem to have chosen the commander of this expedition from the beginning, and it must have been the same general who had once walked on the sands of the Mediterranean. Therefore, even if the officials regarded him as the commander of the Cancer Palace, which was the emperor's pro-army, it was impossible to get the command.

"We're sorry for the history of this country." After thinking about the test for a long time, Gao Xianzhi said slowly, "Although I am from Goguryeo, I grew up in the circle of Han culture. I knew I had wanted to spread something further afield. But we didn't. There was no military victory. The Han culture could have spread further, but we failed and became sinners of history. Because we were only focused on the military. And today, let's atone for our sins. Thank God for giving us this opportunity. ”

"I see." (To be continued.) )
