Chapter Forty-Six: The First World War to Defeat Shanshan and Directly Repay His Grievances
Xin Er was not familiar with Suo Gong and Yin Luo, but after careful consideration, he still agreed to his strategy.
This is because before coming to the Western Regions, Xin Er had done a lot of homework, and he had conducted detailed investigations on Suo Gong, Wuji Captain Zhang Shao, and Yin Luo, so although he was a new acquaintance, he still knew a lot about the abilities of Suo Gong and others.
Suo Gong Xiang has a name for bravery.
When he was a young man, one of his brothers was killed by an enemy. This brother of his clan had no brothers or children, and after he was killed, there was no immediate relative who could avenge him, and his close relatives did not dare to avenge him for fear of the enemy's power. Suo Gong and his brother were almost no longer of the same race, but at that time, they stepped forward, gathered young men and disciples, broke through the dock fort of the man who killed his brother, and sacrificed his head to the grave of his brother.
His reputation shook Longxi at once, and the young children of Suo's family and the prodigal young men of Dunhuang all admired him, and were willing to be driven by him,—— many of the military officials at all levels in his current account are still these people.
Suo family out of generals, although it is a gate, but there is its ancestral heritage, the Suo family has also produced a lot of famous Confucianism, Suo Gong is older, folded reading, learning is not very good, but Confucian classics, also a small read, a little broadly said, he and the next is called the above martial arts.
However, there is a Tao that is difficult to change. Although in terms of the image of dress, Suo Gong is very different from usual, for example, now, when he is not in battle, he praises his sleeves and is like a gentleman, and in the end, this person is still the same person he was when he was a teenager.
It is precisely because of this that he drank a lot of alcohol and was bold in his advice.
Yin Luo is a son of the Yin clan in Dunhuang.
The Yin clan was originally also the first-class valve clan in Dingxi, but later declined. Yin Luo had the heart to revive the reputation of the family, but knew that even if he was an official in the county and county, even if he entered the court, he would not be able to compete with the sons and nephews of the Song, Zhang, Fan, and Koji families, and it would be difficult to get a high position, so he did the opposite, stayed away from the country, and came to the Western Regions, hoping that he could establish special merits in this land, so as to return to the dynasty and become a noble.
In recent years, Rouran has repeatedly invaded Dunhuang, and the connection between the Western Regions and the mainland has been severed several times. In this dangerous situation, thanks to the strength of Suo Gong and Yin Luo, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion has not fallen so far, although the control of Shanshan and other countries is inevitably not as good as before, but at least Shanshan and other countries dare not ignore the existence of the Tang people.
Based on this, Xin Er finally agreed to the proposal of the two of them in the context that he and Suo Gong and Yin Luo were only meeting for the first time.
After asking Xin Er to rest early, Suo Gong and Yin Luo resigned.
The two went out of the hospital, looked at each other, and both saw joy on each other's faces.
Suo Gong smiled and said: "Mingdu, the general has approved your plan, and your name will be resounding in the royal city in a few days!" ”
Yin Luo looked back, looked at the courtyard door that had been closed, and said, "General Wuwei and you and I are new acquaintances, but they accepted your and my suggestions so simply. Long history, the general's undoubted faith, makes people sigh! ”
Suo Gong also felt the same way, and said: "Beigong Yue, I am also a fierce general; Bald and wild, the noble chieftain of Xianbei is also. At the table tonight, I saw that these two people were both respectful to General Wuwei. At first I was puzzled, but now I know why! ”
"But is it because General Wu Wei is not suspicious?"
Suo Gong nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's more than that. And when General Wuwei spoke to people, he put his heart in his heart. I don't know how you feel, anyway, when I was talking to General Wuwei, I felt like a spring breeze. ”
Yin Luo nodded again and again and said, "I feel the same way. ”
Suo Gong sighed: "Or because of this, General Wuwei can win the hearts of Beigong Yue, Bald Boye and others!" ”
I have obtained Xin'er's permission, and tomorrow I will send a letter to King Shanshan and summon him to lead the troops to the meeting.
Suo Gong and Yin Luo plan to send troops at the same time.
Time is tight. However, the two had this plan long before Xin Er arrived, although they didn't know whether they would get Xin Er's approval at that time, but they had already made some preparations in advance, because they didn't have to hurry up and prepare for the war in a hurry. But then again, in the end, it is a battle, and we still have to improve the various deployments. Therefore, the two of them left the courtyard and went directly to the barracks.
summoned the military officials overnight and told them of Xin Er's decision.
People gather like likes. Suo Gong was a brave man, and so were many of his officers. Rejoice in the war.
Suo Gong did not drag the mud and water, and after simply reporting the matter, he gave an order: let them go to their headquarters to prepare and leave the camp tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning.
Suo Gong and Yin Luo gathered their soldiers and horses and pulled out the camp to the west.
Xin Er personally saw them off and watched them go.
Yang Chao, Zhang Gui and others already know the plan of Yin Luo.
Zhang Gu was a little worried, and said with a heavy expression: "With only three thousand soldiers, can you defeat Shanshan?" If this battle fails, it will be detrimental to the use of troops in the future of Ming Gong! ”
Yang Chao is much more confident than Zhang Gui, and said with a smile: "Suo Gong dares to fight, Yin Luo is strategic, and he thinks that Shanshan must be broken!" ”
Only seven days later, Sogon sent back the good news.
There was also a head with the good news.
This head is the head of the lord of Shanshan.
Watching Suo Gong's Lubu, it was written: The last general led the troops out of the sea, traveled west along the water, more than 400 miles, entered the Shanshan realm, died down, surrounded the city without attacking, went south, and secretly reached the capital of Shanshan Wang. King Shanshan was unprepared, and suddenly saw Wang Shi, and was terrified, because he was persuaded by his brother Wang, he opened the door and asked to surrender. If you are kind to the nations, if you ask for it, you will be humble, and if you don't ask for it, you will be arrogant; Zi said, 'repay grievances with straightforwardness'. The last general beheaded him and dared to sacrifice the general.
King Shanshan surrendered, but Suo Gong still killed him.
After reading the military newspaper, Xin Er handed it to Yang Chao, Zhang Gui and others.
There are many people sitting in the middle, Beigong Yue, bald Boye, including several officials from the Changshi Mansion.
Xin Er looked at them, but didn't say anything in his heart.
He thought, "Now that it has fallen, it is still slain." 'Repay grievances directly', although the words are good, and Suo Gong looks like a scholar, and the killing is a little heavier. ”
But I don't know that Suo Gong still has two details that he didn't say in this military report.
One is that the head of this Shanshan country lord is like the enemy he killed to avenge his brother, and he also cut it off with his own hands.
The second is that after conquering the capital of Shanshan Wang, although he did not plunder, he also asked the nobles in the country to give a lot of gold and silver goods. He did not keep these goods for himself, but distributed them to his subordinates and soldiers.
King Shanshan was killed, and his younger brother succeeded him, and Suo Gong, who had returned to his teacher, came to Haitou and respectfully visited Xin Er.
Xin Er received him with a pleasant face, and Feishu court, invited the appointment edict and seal ribbon to the imperial court, as the old practice, and crowned the new lord of Shanshan as a servant. Naturally, this "servant" is nominally the servant of the Jiangzuo court, not the servant of the Dingxi court. However, Jiangzuo is cut off from Dingxi Road, and it is said that Jiangzuo is actually Dingxi, which is no different.
The new lord of Shanshan is very sensible, and after seeing the elite iron cavalry and armor soldiers that Xin Er put out for him, he took the initiative to ask to send his son to Dingxi as a hostage.
Before Rouran invaded the trade routes of the Western Regions, Dingxi built six pavilions next to the Four Seasons Palace in the middle of the city, which were specially used to house the protons and envoys of the countries of the Western Regions. The six buildings are now mostly empty, and they can be filled one by one from Shanshanguo, which is attached again.
It doesn't matter if Suo Gong's murderous aura is heavy or not.
The important thing is that he and Yin Luo really defeated Shanshan and killed the old king in a battle with 3,000 soldiers, saving Xin Er time to attack the Western Regions, and also taking advantage of the great victory of the two of them to boost the morale of the tribe, and at the same time, greatly deterred the small countries in the southern province of the Western Regions. They sent envoys to the sea to show their subordination. Even larger nations such as Khotan sent their princes.
Xin Er did not stay too much at the head of the sea, and ordered all the envoys of the southern countries who came to leave them behind, and wait until they had conquered the northern countries after they had conquered the northern countries, and then took the envoys of the northern countries to the royal capital with them, so that they could meet Linghule together.
At the end of May, Xin Ertong took the headquarters and the Suogong department, left Haitou, and went north to the station of the Wuji Captain's Department.
The countries of the Western Regions, the most powerful is Qiuzi, whether it is the talent of the current lord, or the number of victorious soldiers in the country, especially in terms of whether there is foreign aid, Shanshan is not as good as it,—— Qiuzi is connected to Wusun in the north, Wusun may rush to aid it, and Shanshan has no strong external reinforcement. Because of this, although Shanshan is ke, the highlight is still Qiuzi. It is foreseeable that this battle will not be very easy to fight.
