Chapter 92: The Battle (1)
The battle situation in Longyou has now formed a very strange situation.
Li Zhong led 20,000 troops to disappear, Huang Zhi abandoned Langzhou, led more than 47,000 soldiers to retreat to Taozhou, to prevent Tubo from entering the pass, Yu Wenzhen also gave up Shanzhou, led 10,000 defenders in Shanzhou and Zhangzhou, plus 20,000 soldiers in his hands, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses went to Huizhou, and joined the local 10,000 defenders, a total of 40,000 troops, to defend the city and prevent Tubo from entering the pass or Bashu in the south.
And Ma Wu is leading the headquarters of 30,000 soldiers and horses plus Li Zhong left 30,000 soldiers, a total of 60,000 troops retreated to Liangzhou east of Zhike County, 300 miles away, to prevent Tubo from going north to Anbei, after all, the Mobei Hu people have moved towards unification, the power is strong, the soldiers are strong and strong, in recent years has been eyeing the Central Plains, Li Zhong took away 50,000 people, the entire Anbei only left more than 100,000 people stationed, once Tubo and the Mobei Hu people get in touch, form an alliance, front and back, Anbei is in danger.
Ma Wu led an army of 50,000 troops to station in Zhike County, strengthening the fortifications while sending a wide range of rangers to closely monitor the movements of Tibet.
And Li Xun led 10,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, escorted hundreds of thousands of people, and retreated to Yunzhou.
Shanzhou.
Geva Morong had an army of 100,000 in his hands, and he himself led 20,000 soldiers to garrison the city of Shanzhou, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers were led by the deputy general and his own nephew Geva Yi, who camped ten miles outside the city.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, a man in his thirties walked back and forth there, this person was short, with a small face and small eyes, and he looked ordinary, but on the left side of his face, he was full of scars, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.
This person is Ge Wa Pian, who lived in Fengjing for many years when he was a teenager, and was able to speak fluent Chinese, until the eleventh year of Guangyuan, when Ge Wa Pi was twenty-one years old, he was approved by Zhao Zhi, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, to leave Fengjing, and return to Tufan, and the scar on his face was given by the powerful children of the Great Jin Dynasty in a banquet, therefore, Ge Wa Pi hated the Great Jin to the bone, and always wanted to take revenge on the Great Jin Dynasty to avenge the humiliation of the year.
Not far from Ge Wa Yi, there is actually a Han man in his fifties, this person is Ge Wa Yi's confidant strategist, named Lai Zonghan, once in the Jinshi, in the local official, and then because of the crime, was dismissed and exiled to Longyou Langzhou, was oppressed and tortured by local officers and soldiers, several times of life and death, and later fled into the territory of Tufan, became a slave, the cause was discovered by Ge Wa Yi, the two had a long talk, Ge Wa was shocked by his intelligence, paid for him to redeem himself, and since then he has been with him, cited as a confidant, obeyed his words, and Lai Zonghan was grateful to Ge Wa Yi for saving his life, is also a desperate follower, for his advice, Ge Wa Yi was able to stand out from the family in less than ten years, and grasp the military power and status second only to his uncle Ge Vamorong, Lai Zonghan can be said to have played an extremely important role in it.
The entire Tufan has a population of about six million, and there are three million Sheng clans, that is, families that control more than one million people, including the army and ordinary people, and the Gewa family is one of them.
In fact, Tufan's current political pattern is somewhat similar to the Great Jin, the decline of royal power, the rise of family power, has reached the point where it can influence the entire country's major policies, more than half of the country's population is directly controlled by the three major families, taxes are not as good as the imperial court, 500,000 troops, ninety percent are in the hands of the three major families, if it is not for the leader of Tufan Buddhism, Panchen Erdeni has always stood on the side of the Zampu royal family, I am afraid that Tufan's Zampu royal power has already changed the dynasty.
"See the General."
A soldier rushed straight into the tent and saluted on his knees.
"What did Zamp say?"
Gerva picked up the soldier and asked urgently.
"Everything Zampu has to say, it's written on it."
The soldier took out a brocade silk from his bosom, handed it to Geva Yi, and then withdrew.
After reading the contents, Ge Wa Yi tore the brocade silk into pieces, threw it to the ground, and shouted angrily: "A group of rats who only care about fighting for power and profit." ”
Lai Zonghan's face changed, and he hurriedly got up and came to the door of the big tent, and said to the guards: "All retreat thirty zhang, and no one is allowed to approach the big tent." ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, hundreds of soldiers immediately spread and retreated a hundred meters away.
"Lord, be careful that the wall has ears, be cautious!"
Lai Zonghan walked up to Ge Wa and said bitterly.
"What if I'm heard, what can Zampu do to me?"
Gwabi roared angrily.
"If Gvamojon hears this, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with the lord."
Lai Zonghan shook his head, didn't say anything, and directly said the point, sure enough, after hearing this, Ge Wa's face changed slightly, he snorted twice, walked to the side and sat down, but his face was still ugly.
Although Geva was born in the Gewa family, but the status of his parents is not high, even with Gewa himself is the same, the young man was sent to Fengjing as a hostage, almost life and death, these years through hard work and many efforts, this is difficult to climb to the current position, even so, Geva is not very deep in the family, several of the highest levels of the family, completely control his future and fate, such as Geva Moron, want to deprive Geva of the military power, just one sentence.
Lai Zonghan walked closer, poured him a cup of tea, and said lightly: "The lord's suggestion, Zampu does not agree?" ”
Ge Wa Yi had a cold face, and did not say a word, not only did he not agree, but reprimanded him in an extremely severe tone, scolding Ge Wa Yi for being frivolous, arrogant, and arrogant, and arrogance about military affairs.
Three days ago, Ge Wa Yi got a report from Tan Malai, the Jin Dynasty army stationed in Liangzhou retreated to Zhike County, Ge Wa Yi immediately entered his uncle Ge Wa Morong, led the army to attack Zhike County, and at the same time contacted the Mobei Hu people, let them enter Anbei, so that they could not go south to rescue, and after eliminating the Jin Dynasty army in Zhike County, they joined forces with the Mobei Hu people, and attacked before and after, and took Anbei together.
Such a good suggestion was categorically rejected by Geva Morong, and only 5,000 troops were sent to Liangzhou, and the rest of the army continued to garrison Shanzhou, standing still.
Then Tanma came to report again, hundreds of thousands of people who retreated to Zhike County, escorted by 10,000 Jin troops, were slowly moving towards Yunzhou, Ge Wa Yi Yan was in the words of Ge Wa Mo Rong, let himself lead 30,000 troops, detour to intercept this team, by Ge Wa Mo Rong led 50,000 troops to ambush aside, waiting for the Jin army of Zhike County to come to the rescue, you can take the opportunity to raid, when you can win a big victory.
This suggestion was categorically rejected by Geva Morong, and clearly told Ge Wa Rong that the capture of the four states of Longyou has already had a great gain, and there is no need to risk fighting with the Jin army, once defeated, Zan Pu will use this as an excuse to deprive him of his military power, the meaning is very clear, this time to send troops, Zan Pu's intentions, everyone is clear, Ge Wa Morong just wants to keep the military power, get Shanzhou and Liangzhou, it is already an unexpected joy, he is already very satisfied, do not want to take risks again, just in Shanzhou to stand still, sit and watch the situation, Watching from the sidelines of Zampu and Delong Pickling Kang's side to attack Huizhou, they succeeded, and they took the opportunity to gain benefits, and if they failed, they didn't have any loss to him.
Unable to convince his uncle, he was unwilling, crossed Gawa Morong, sent someone to Langzhou, met Zampu, and stated his suggestions and strategies face to face.
