Chapter 235 Tubo Guide
Zhi Yuxun led 50,000 Great Zhou forbidden troops from Chang'an, all the way to the west, towards the Qinghai Lake area.
On this expedition, the Orisai flower played a crucial role in the map sent by Ori Yuxun.
These maps were all made by Guo Zongxun to secretly go to Tubo to find out, and returned to Kaifeng to hand over to Zhao Kuangyi to draw.
Zhao Kuangyi is still very obsessed with the theory of the formation map and the army, and Guo Zongxun told him:
"Uncle, if you want to further improve your theory of formation map and army command, and one day I can agree to promote it throughout the army, this map and formation map are indispensable, and they are very accurate, so I think you should calm down first and draw a map for me, this is the right way."
Zhao Kuangyi was a little unconvinced, and argued:
"Your Majesty, the eldest brother of the minister is now the generalissimo of the Great Zhou, but the minister is still just a cartographer with no official and no quality, the minister has a unique knowledge of governing the country and the army, but there is no place for it, the minister really thinks that this is a big loss for my Great Zhou."
After being praised by the little emperor a few times, Zhao Kuangyi was a little floating, Guo Zongxun looked at him with a smile, and said in his heart, Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi, I will never give you the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle, let you lead the army, and bring disaster to the country and the people.
"Uncle, my Marshal Zhao is now an indispensable minister of my Great Zhou, Marshal Zhao has led troops to fight abroad all the year round, if I send you out again, once the two of you have any mistakes, then I will be too sorry for the emperor's entrustment."
Zhao Kuangyi replied angrily:
"Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid of death, the husband is a horse leather shroud, the minister is loyal to the Great Zhou and His Majesty, I hate to lead the army to fight now, Your Majesty is not going to conquer Tibet, the minister asks for his life, leads the army to the battle, and guarantees to level the Tubo within three months, and makes immortal contributions to my Great Zhou."
Guo Zongxun almost didn't go up and kicked Zhao Kuangyi's grandson a few times, if you don't brag, you will die.
"Okay, uncle, don't say it again, the task I give you now is to calm down, carefully draw the map array, you say that you have no official and no quality, this is my lack of consideration, you have devoted yourself to mapping, and made immortal contributions to the Great Zhou, I will make you the chief cartographer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the official position is equivalent to the five products, it can't be higher, no matter how high it is, there should be a royal history to impeach me for overusing my relatives."
The chief cartographer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this name sounds very popular, or Zhengwupin, it is said that Cao Bin, as the envoy of Youzhou Town, is now only Zhengwupin, Cao Bin is a person that His Majesty attaches great importance to, and I Zhao Kuangyi is also Zhengwupin now, and there is one more name than him.
Although Zhao Kuangyi was still a little dissatisfied, he also knew that he was facing the emperor and couldn't take too much inch.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best to draw more beautiful and accurate maps for Your Majesty for the Great Zhou."
It was these maps drawn by Zhao Kuangyi that played a major role in Guo Zongxun's decision to take the initiative to attack Tibet.
After Zhi Yuxun got the map, for the sake of safety, he recruited more than a dozen guides who were familiar with the Tibetan language from the residents near the border fortress, and some of them were even Tibetans.
These Tibetans claimed to have migrated from the plateau in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and gradually integrated into the local Han villages and towns.
Ori Yuxun formed a separate team for these guides, and assigned someone to be in charge of their daily life, march, and life, which was actually a change of direction to monitor.
"Zhehu, these people you are responsible for should be kind to them in normal times, insert the people who understand the Tibetan language assigned to us by His Majesty, don't let them find out, and closely monitor what they usually say together."
Zhehu was cultivated by the Zhe family among the orphans adopted in Fuzhou, and there are three more outstanding ones with Zhe Yuxun, Zhehu, Zhe Leopard, and Zhe Biao, which are considered family generals.
"The last will obey."
After entering the plateau area, Zhe Yuxun began to divide his troops, setting up a military station every 300 miles, leaving 2,000 forbidden troops to garrison to facilitate the delivery of supplies to the plateau.
The fact that Zhi Yuxun has a map in his hand has not been known to these guides, which is necessary to be cautious, who knows if there are any spies in Tibet among these guides.
As we approached the Qinghai Lake marked on the map, there was a major difference between the route given by the guide and the route on the map.
"General, the guide Chaganbu said that Qinghai Lake is about two hundred miles northwest of our army, but the map says that Qinghai Lake should be about fifty miles northeast of our army, this is ......"
Orito, who was in charge of taking care of and monitoring the guide, came to report.
"Zhehu, did you follow my instructions Every time you ask these guides for directions, you always look for them alone, and there are no other guides present."
"Yes, general, the last general has been following your instructions, every time you need to find a guide to ask for directions, you are looking for it alone, through our screening for a while, we have found out a few people who have problems with directions."
"Secretly escort these problematic people back to Chang'an, hand them over to Lord Qian, and tell the other guides that my Great Zhou Dynasty sent another 100,000 elite soldiers from Chang'an, ready to borrow the road from Sichuan and Shu to take the capital of Tubo, and these guides were sent to guide the way."
"General, if you say this, won't there be too many loopholes and too obvious?"
Zhe Yuxun's order, that is, Zhehu, Zhe Leopard, and Zhe Biao, these families will dare to question it.
"Zhehu, you have grown, then let me ask you, is General Ben the kind of person who is full of loopholes in doing things?"
Zhehu scratched his head, a little embarrassed:
"General, you are naturally doing this with great meaning, doesn't the last general want to learn a few more tricks from you."
There are several glaring loopholes in this set of rhetoric concocted by Zhi Yuxun.
First of all, Da Zhou and Chuan Shu are now in a hostile relationship, and it is impossible for Chuan Shu to agree to borrow the way.
Secondly, from Sichuan and Shu to capture the capital of Tibet...... Well, the Tibetans were convinced that no matter which direction the Great Zhou army came from, they would not be able to attack it.
Also, the guides in the Xining area were transferred to Sichuan and Shu to lead the way, stupid, are all these guides satellite navigation?
"Since you have the heart to learn, General Ben will teach you a few tricks, so there are suspicious formations, full of loopholes, and it looks like it's all fake news, but what will our enemies think?"
Zhehu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:
"General, if it is the last general, the last general will feel that among these seemingly flawed news, it will definitely not be all false, and one of them must be true."
Zhi Yuxun reached out and patted Zhehu's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"General Ben just wants them to guess which of these pieces of news is true? Whichever one they guessed, it would be enough for them to ponder for a while. ”
"General, you are really clever."
"By the way, the guide named Chaganbu, transferred him to the general's tent, and said that the general selected him, and he could enter the commander's tent and the military plane, and the rest of the guides stayed in their tent and were strictly forbidden to go out."
"The last general obeys the order, and the last general will arrange it."
After the Folding Tiger went out, Folding Yuxun took out a golden skin order and said to the Folding Leopard and Folding Biao:
"Zhe Leopard, Zhe Biao, you two lead 10,000 troops, since the Tubo guide said that Qinghai Lake is less than two hundred miles away from us, then you should insert it from here, march carefully on the road, send more horses, if you find that there is really a Tubo ambush there, give them a surprise attack, but do not fall in love, bite a piece of meat and withdraw."
Zhe Leopard and Zhe Biao wanted to ask Zhe Yuxun why he arranged it this way, but the military order was in advance, so it was better to receive the order to complete the task and come back.
