Chapter 235: The Lost National Treasure
Wang Xiao is deeply influenced by modern military culture, and this is a matter of course.
He was originally a modern person, and in the world of wishing, he was only at work, at most he had a few more office romances.
Modern military theory advocates striking at the command structure first, that is, capturing the thief and capturing the king first.
If you lose your brain, no matter how strong your body is, you will be at a loss.
So unless it's a tough battle, Wang Xiao always likes to use the combat method of raiding the core.
Because this method of warfare has quick results and great gains.
Rouran didn't think at all that Wang Xiao, who was at a disadvantage, would take the initiative to attack. They didn't even know that their conspiracy with Yuwentai had already been known.
When Wang Xiao's army came over, they were not prepared in the slightest.
In this battle, Wang Xiao killed and captured more than a thousand noble heads under Anagui, the Khan of Rouran.
It was also their bad luck that Anagui happened to gather these nobles to discuss the matter of going south to attack Liangzhou.
These people came to the meeting first, while their tribal herders were still driving their cattle and sheep slowly this way.
As a result, these people were wiped out by Wang Xiao.
The soldiers and horses that destroyed the Rouran people in the royal court were tens of thousands. Among them are the two most elite royal court horses of the Rouran people.
They didn't even have time to form a formation, and they didn't even have time to pick up their armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows, and Wang Xiao's side had already killed in front of them.
More than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses were seized, and other materials were too numerous to count.
The tribes of the steppe have always been like this, and the greatest wealth is concentrated in the royal court. This time, it was all cheaper than Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao stayed in the royal court of the Rouran people for three days to sort out the spoils. After that, he left with a huge number of captives and prisoners, and left in a mighty south.
What was left behind was a flaming royal court.
The Rouran people who have lost their backbone, let alone go south to attack Liangzhou, they themselves have to have a super-large melee first, which is used to compete for the throne and sphere of influence.
Under the great loss of strength, the other tribes that were once suppressed will inevitably get out of control and try to annex the pastures and tribes of their previous masters.
As the overlords of the grassland, the decline of the Rouran people will inevitably lead to the grassland once again falling into chaos of competing for deer.
This chaos will lead to the inability of the steppe to move south for at least 20 years.
After solving the threat from the north, Wang Xiao can finally concentrate on dealing with Gao Huan and Yuwentai in the south.
Wang Xiao's feat of going north to defeat the Rouran people spread all over the world, and the whole world was shocked.
Since Cao Wei broke the Xianbei people, the Han family has not achieved such a brilliant record against the grassland overlord for two hundred years.
The Rouran are the new steppe overlords, not unlike the Turkic people, a vassal tribe that had previously broken in the Far West. The Turks were only vassals of the Rouran at this time.
Wang Xiao broke the royal court of the Rouran people in this battle, and captured countless princes and nobles under the Rouran Khan. Some people in the south have already compared this battle with Huo Hu's cavalry and Dou Che cavalry back then.
For these praises, Wang Xiao said very modestly that he did not dare to compare with the sages, and it was already the greatest honor to be able to compare with Chen Qingzhi.
Someone on the Nanliang side wrote poems for him, praising him and Chen Qingzhi as the double wall of the Han family.
The resurgence of the Han family caused great panic among the Hu people in the Central Plains.
Everyone under Yuwentai's command made suggestions one after another, asking Yuwentai to concentrate all his forces and destroy Wang Xiao first.
At this time, Yuwentai showed his unique courage and vision.
Instead of sending a large army to fight Wang Xiao, he canonized Wang Xiao as the king of Dingbei.
Of course, Yuwentai wanted to destroy Wang Xiao, but he knew very calmly that it would be difficult to achieve this matter for the time being.
Long supply lines are the root cause.
Yu Wentai used a delaying tactic, he was ready to wait until the integration of the Guanlong Group was completed and after defeating his opponent Gao Huan, he would gather all his strength to deal with Wang Xiao.
At that time, he could send troops from the Jinyang generation in the clouds, and he didn't have to go to Longyou Road to drill the mountain.
"I can accept this, but I also have one condition."
Wang Xiao fiddled with the holy decree in his hand, "Send Yu Wenhuai over." ”
There are many villains in this world, and there are even a lot of blackened ones.
Among so many villains, Yu Wenhuai is not the strongest, nor is he the best brain. But he is the worst in his heart, and he is not comparable to Zhao Xifeng who died in the hands of Wang Xiao.
Yu Wentai wanted to use the strategy of delaying the army, and Wang Xiao also wanted to use it. He asked Yu Wenhuai to come over, and when he sent out the troops, he happened to slaughter the sacrificial flag.
As for saying that the two have cooperated or something, it can only be said that this time and that time.
For Wang Xiao, the current Yuwenhuai is no longer useful. Then squeeze the last of his value.
As if an appointment had been made, as soon as the envoy from Yuwentai left here, the envoy from Gao Huan over there hurried over.
Wang Xiao was very enthusiastic about Gao Huan's envoy, which was completely different from the previous envoy who treated Yuwentai.
In the face of Gao Huan's canonization and the appointment to march to Yuwentai together, he even agreed to come down.
Even if he was as shrewd as Gao Huan, he didn't expect that Wang Xiao's real plan was to temporarily let go of the enemy Yuwentai, but to attack him first.
While Longyou Dao restricted Yuwentai's army from going north, it also seriously restricted Wang Xiao's army from going south.
If you want to march into Guanzhong through Longyou Road, even if you really kill it, you will suffer heavy losses.
Wang Xiao's plan was to detour Yunzhong and Jinyang to defeat Gao Huan first, and then send troops to Guanzhong.
Compared with Yuwentai, who integrated the Guanlong Group, Gao Huan did not do well in this regard, and his reliance was still on the remnants of the soldiers and horses of the Six Towns back then. Han'er's life is still miserable.
Fight Gao Huan first, and with the help of dividing the fields and houses, you can quickly get a lot of support and enhance your strength.
Gao Huan, like Yu Wentai, is an ambitious person.
Even if Wang Xiao really joined forces with Gao Huan and defeated Yuwentai first, there would still be another big battle after that.
In that case, let's hit him first.
Wang Xiao wrote an enthusiastic letter to Gao Huan, expressing the hope that Gao Huan could send troops to contain Yuwentai first. And he himself will send troops south at a critical moment.
Gao Huan, who claimed to have a common enmity with Yuwentai, was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly began to train soldiers and horses to raise materials, preparing to fight to the death with Yuwentai.
Gao Huan's messenger left, and Nanliang's envoy came again.
Towards the envoy of Nanliang, Wang Xiao's attitude was much colder.
"Don't mention anything else, send Xiao Yu back first."
Just like Wang Xiao speculated before, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was fine at all. In order to get Xiao Yu, who was unwilling to go back, back to Nanliang.
They have even prepared a marriage for Xiao Yu.
However, when the news of Wang Xiao's big break with the Rouran people on the grassland came, the marriage immediately collapsed.
In later generations, I didn't know much about the Rouran people, and it seemed that they were soft when they heard the name.
But in fact, the Rouran people are no less powerful than the overlords of the grasslands in the past. This can be seen from the fact that the Turks all gave them little brothers.
Even if he is as strong as Gao Huan, when facing the pressure of the Rouran people, he has to hide his wife and vacate the place to marry the princess of the Rouran people.
Such a powerful grassland overlord was actually destroyed by Wang Xiao in a battle.
Under Xuanhe's martial arts, who dares to block him.
"Of course." The envoy of Nanliang nodded again and again, "His Majesty the Emperor has given marriage, and the princess will arrive soon." Your Majesty has given you many rewards."
Wang Xiao was not interested in the words behind the envoy, he was really not interested in rare treasures or anything.
"No need to read the gift list."
Wang Xiao took out a secret letter and handed it to the envoy: "Bring this letter to the emperor." If you really want to give me any gifts, you can give me Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface. ”
The content of the letter is very simple, that is, to ask Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan to send troops before the autumn harvest next year, and at the same time contain part of Gao Huan and Yuwentai's troops.
You don't have to fight, you just need to contain it.
He is also not afraid that the letters will be lost and leaked. Because the letter is written in cipher code.
After all, Xiao Yu is the princess of Nanliang, and she will definitely inform Xiao Yan of the yin charm composed of the words and Arabic numerals.
Except for a few people who knew the rules, no one in the world could read the letters.
As for the Lanting Collection, it is one of the three national treasures in China whose whereabouts are unknown.
In the long history of China, the brilliant civilization has created countless national treasures.
Among these countless national treasures, the most well-known and the most sought after are the three lost national treasures.
At the top of the list is Jiuding.
This is one of the symbols of Chinese civilization and is undoubtedly the top national treasure.
It's a pity that Jiuding was lost early, and no one could find it.
In second place is the heirloom jade seal.
"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."
The heirloom jade seal carved from the famous Heshi Bi is a symbol of orthodoxy. An emperor without this will be ridiculed as a tabula rasa emperor.
The heirloom jade seal was also lost, and no one could find its whereabouts.
As for the third place, that is Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface.
This is said to have been brought into the Zhaoling Tomb by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty as a burial companion. No one has been able to verify whether it is true or not. However, since then, it is an indisputable fact that the Lanting Collection has disappeared without a trace.
Wang Xiao has traveled through a lot of worlds before, but most of them are lagging behind.
Only the Three Kingdoms World time is suitable.
But Jiuding has long been missing, and the jade seal of the country is a symbol of imperial power in the hands of the emperor.
Unless he wanted to learn from Cao Pi, it was impossible to snatch Liu Wei's heirloom jade seal.
As for the Lanting Collection Order, Wang Xizhi and his grandfather were not born at that time.
The three famous lost national treasures, Wang Xiao has traveled through thousands of worlds for so long, and he has never seen the real thing.
Now it's finally a chance, and of course to see it for yourself.
When Wang Xiao sent a large number of caravans carrying many supplies to Jinyang and other places in the clouds, Xiao Yu finally returned.
When Xiao Yu left before, he was originally aware that even if he gave up his identity as a princess, he would return to Wang Xiao.
didn't expect Xiao Yan to trap her directly, and arranged the family affairs and waited to get married.
Xiao Yu begged in every possible way, and even handed over the Arabic numerals and the yin charm of the Chinese characters. But Xiao Yan was still unmoved.
Just when she was gradually despairing, Wang Xiao rushed thousands of miles to break through the royal court of the Rouran people, and the news came that he had captured the Rouran Khan Anagui. Xiao Yan, who was originally as solid as a rock, suddenly changed his attitude.
This dramatic change made Xiao Yu have to sigh. No matter how strong a woman is, she still has to rely on men in the end.
