Chapter 201: Dayong marches out of the army, and the smoke rises in Western Xinjiang
Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil, the major Tianzhou intrigues, and people's hearts are fluctuating.
After Mu Ming was stationed in the capital until the beginning of the year, he was unable to manage the affairs of the court, so he gathered the soldiers who went home to visit his relatives, and the army was drawn again, and he had already returned to northern Xinjiang.
Xipingguan fell, the west was in danger, Emperor Yong'an looked unhappy, and asked Wang Lu and others: "Now that Xijiang is in danger, can Qing and others have sponsors to go to Xijiang to turn the tide?" ”
Wang Luyu said: "The fall of Xiping is nothing more than the incompetence of Huanglian Lao, Lin Song does not understand the strategy, and the thieves in the Western Regions are just some ants."
The commander of the thousand armies is one of the twelve armies selected by the first emperor, and he is good at leading troops to fight, and he is both civil and military. ”
"The twelve armies of my Dayong, now the only fruits remain, only the four commanders of the thousand army, the war army, the Yi army, and the Fu army are left, and the commander of the thousand armies obeys the order of the first emperor, and is ordered to lead the Yongzhi Dragon Guard, defend Tianyong City, and go out lightly?"
Emperor Yong'an shook his head and rejected Wang Lu's proposal, although he believed in Wang Lu, but the silver armor thousand army was the head of the Yongzhi Dragon Guard, and the protection of Tianyong City could not be moved lightly.
"One of the ministers is Zhou Zijin, the general of Ziyouguan Zhenguan, whose martial arts are extraordinary, he has guarded Ziyouguan for many years, and he is familiar with military strategy, and there are two armies under his command, both of which are tiger and wolf divisions, and with some guards in Beijing, they can break the thieves in the Western Regions with a snap of their fingers." Imperial historian Lin Bin came out of the line.
"Good! Then I passed on my will, crowned Zhou Zijin as the general of Anxi, led the post of governor, and commanded 60,000 Chinese troops in Ziyouguan and 100,000 of my Tianyong forbidden army to go to Western Xinjiang to help in the war. ”
Emperor Yong'an's courage is still a little small, and in the face of the fierce Western Regions Alliance Army, which claims to be 600,000, he still took out his inventory, after all, the money can be seen and earned, and there is only one small life.
Tianyong City is the capital of the Dayong Empire, with 32,000 troops of the Yongzhilongwei, 64,000 troops of the Imperial Forest Army, 144,000 people of the Eighth Colonel of the Forbidden Army, and a total of 240,000 soldiers and horses in a city, which is almost worthy of one of the soldiers and horses of the four frontiers in peacetime.
The Yongzhi Dragon Guard is led by the silver armor thousand troops, and only obeys the orders of Emperor Yong'an, responsible for defending Emperor An and patrolling Tianyong City;
Most of the Imperial Forest Army is controlled by Wang, Lin, and Liu, while the Forbidden Army is mostly controlled by Li, Zhang, Zhao, and Lin.
The Yang family, which was once the largest family in the world, seems to have gradually declined.
This time, the 100,000 forbidden army was ordered to come to the west, not to say that the 144,000 forbidden army would be divided into 100,000 forbidden troops, the forbidden army was a general term for the soldiers and horses of Tianyongcheng, that is, 100,000 soldiers and horses were drawn from the Royal Forest Army and the forbidden army to rush to the western Xinjiang to participate in the war.
This time, Emperor Yong'an, Wang Lu and others were really a little panicked, and they didn't make any small moves, reusing Yang Wei, the old head of the Yang family, as the general of Pingxi; Deputy Governor; Commander of the Forbidden Army.
Commanding the 100,000 forbidden troops with distinct armor, he went to Ziyouguan to join Zhou Zijin.
Grain, grass, military supplies and other things, but Wang Lu and Lin Bin personally handled it, Emperor Yong'an thought twice, but he was still a little worried, and sent his cronies to send a decree to Tianbing Prefecture, so that the heavenly soldiers assassinated Shi Zhu Nian to lead the heavenly soldiers to ride and rush to help in the battle.
However, it was said that the army of the Western Regions was able to enter Xipingguan, and in the barren land of Liangzhou in Dayongtian, there was finally a place to rest and a springboard to advance and retreat, which made hundreds of thousands of Western Regions coalition troops excited.
The Western Regions connect the desert, with a vast territory and strong folk customs, a total of 36 countries, all of which have their own cultures and traditions.
From 2016 of the mainland calendar, that is, the year before the year, Xiao Tianzuo officially led the army to the east to conquer Dayong, and fought with Huanglian and Lin Song, who guarded the western frontier of Dayong.
The 600,000-strong army has also been reduced by more than 100,000 troops, although it was replenished at the beginning of the year, but most of them are young and strong, and they are comparable to those who died in battle.
Although the children of the Western Regions have studied martial arts since he was a child and are all warriors, if they are used incorrectly, or if the opponent seizes the opportunity to become a breakthrough, it will be very fatal, and it can even cause the army to be defeated.
Xipingguan; In the meeting hall of the Western Regions Alliance, there are two rows in parallel, each with more than 50 positions.
Xiao Tianzuo, who had a rough face and a tiger's back, sat on the main seat, holding a drink, and saluted the nearly 100 people side by side on both sides: "Although Yang Yepifu was rescued by Yang Qilang, he killed two generals of our army, but according to Dunhuang details, Yang Ye and others did not return to Dunhuang City.
Now our army can be stationed in Xiping Pass, all of them are caused by the concerted efforts of all the kings, in order to celebrate the three counties of Tianliang West are all in our pockets, this commander did it first! ”
Xiao Tianzuo drank a bowl full of wine, smashed the bowl on the table, and looked at his colleagues with relief with his lips pursed.
"In order to celebrate our entry into Xipingguan, the three counties of Tianliang West are at your fingertips, respect Xiao Shuai!"
Xiao Tianzuo's brother Xiao Tianyou got up first and saluted from afar.
It seems that famous brave generals such as He Yunlong, Yan Kang, and Long Bai, seeing that Xiao Tianyou, the representative of the generals, raised their heads, and they also took the lead to pay respect.
And the King of Loulan, the King of Shache, and the King of the West Night, who participated in the Eastern Expedition, also gave Xiao Tianzuo enough face, and stood up and saluted: "I want Yongqi to kill more than a million warriors in the Western Regions in the past, but today I am fortunate to have Xiao Shuai, and I was able to defeat the two old men of Huang Lian and Lin Song. ”
King Dawan, who had folded countless soldiers as the number one general in his country, also got up and drank it all, and the rest of the generals saw that the four kings and brave generals of all countries who participated in the Eastern Expedition had all stood up, so he saluted Xiao Tianzuo.
Xiao Tianzuo ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, except for the soldiers on patrol, the rest of the generals were accompanied by wine and meat, laughing and laughing all day long, so happy.
Three days later, the celebration ended, Xiao Tianzuo reorganized the sergeants, ordered Xiao Tianyou to lead 100,000 troops to the northeast to attack Guangxia County, He Yunlong led 100,000 troops to the southeast to attack Jiuquan County, if you can enter the county, the old and young will not stay, rob and kill all, in order to avenge the blood feud of the past, and he and the rest of the soldiers will lead the 300,000 army to the east and take Dunhuang County.
Because Dawan suffered a lot of damage in the process of fighting with Yang Ye a few days ago, and also folded the country's first fierce general Su Tianlong, Xiao Tianzuo was not much embarrassed, so that King Dawan and his subordinates guarded Xiping Pass, allocated grain and grass, and responded to the roads.
A total of 500,000 troops unfurled their banners, stepped on the road of smoke and dust, and the soldiers were divided into three roads, and they killed the three counties of Guangxia, Dunhuang and Jiuquan with great vigor and vigor, and the atmosphere of slaughter permeated the entire Tianliang Prefecture for a while.
The next day, Guangxia and Jiuquan counties fell, and most of the soldiers of the two counties had fled to Guanzhong Tianyi and other places, or threw themselves to Dunhuang for protection, although there were still many people who did not leave were slaughtered, but on the whole, they could barely accept it.
Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to Dunhuang City, Rao is one of the famous cities in Tianliang, but it was also crowded.
Lin Song ordered the soldiers in Western Xinjiang to distribute tents and other things to the people, so that they could temporarily live in the streets and other places, and gathered all the grain, grass and water sources in the county, distributed and used them in a unified manner, and allocated sergeants to maintain order, barely stabilizing the situation in Dunhuang.
In Dunhuang County, Lin Song, Zhang Xiu and other generals and more than a dozen people such as Ji Wei, the commander of Wuwei County, gathered in the Taishou Mansion to discuss tactics.
Lin Song first told Ji Wei with an angry face about the current situation and many reasons why he had to withdraw from Xiping Pass, so as to stabilize Ji Wei's emotions, and then said to everyone: "Although Dunhuang City is big, the city is not strong, and it is difficult to fight a tough battle after a lot of time.
However, we are all from the Xiliang people's clan, and we should work together to defend Dunhuang, although there are many people in the Western Regions, but if you want to conquer my Dunhuang, it is not easy. ”
Ji Wei nodded and said: "I brought all the Wuwei soldiers with me when Wuwei came, plus the more than 90,000 Western Xinjiang troops in Dunhuang, Guangxia, and Jiuquan, and the troops also have 1230,000 troops. ”
