Chapter 290: Turtle Army
Bai Buxin walked into the tent and said to Wei Qing: "Lord Shilang has arrived!" Wei Qing glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu, and Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
"Let's go, go and meet Lord Squire!" Wei Qing said to Bai Buxin.
In the next three days, Wei Qing and Bai Buxin were very busy.
On the first day, it was a grand promotion ceremony, Wei Qing was promoted to a general, among his subordinates, Bai Buxin was promoted to a hussar general, Shi Qian, Liu Qi, Hua Mulan, Chen Qingzhi, and Ma Chao were all promoted to Fenwei generals, each title is a senior general, everyone has to carry out a grand and enthusiastic ceremony, and even with several Chang generals below, there are also two who have been promoted to Dingyuan generals, and they have to carry out a ceremony one by one, this large number of ceremonies are carried out one by one, and the whole day has passed.
The next day, 80,000 new soldiers were assigned to the whole team, equipped with supplies, sorted out their belongings, and had another day of chaos.
On the third day, all the people and horses began to prepare for the expedition, the envoys had been sent, and the Western Regions Alliance had officially declared war, and then the war began, Jiang Xiaoyu had to separate from Wei Qing, because Jiang Shilang had to return to Beijing, Jiang Xiaoyu cried like a tearful man, and Wei Qing talked straight for a long time before he left with Jiang Shilang, as for what he said, outsiders naturally didn't know, only Bai Buxin heard what Jiang Xiaoyu said to Wei Qing when he got on the sedan chair: "I am waiting for you in the capital, life is waiting for you, death is also waiting for you!" ”
Wei Qing's eyes were red, watching Jiang Xiaoyu's car drift away, and his hand slowly moved to the corner of his eye.
Mulan handed over the handkerchief in time.
Wei Qing reluctantly smiled at Hua Mulan and ordered: "The generals will return to the account and arrange the battle plan!" ”
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals gathered in a circle, looking at a large model on the ground, and they were all amazed.
Wei Qing held a long thin wooden stick in his hand and pointed to the large model: "I call this thing a sand table, it is made of sand and soil, the geography of the Western Regions is unique, and we have never touched it, so I asked people who know the situation in the Western Regions to make a large model according to the reality they saw." It's not very accurate, but it's okay! ”
"It's intuitive!" Ma Chao was amazed.
A sigh came from behind him: "General Ma, you are so 'straight', how can I 'see'?" It turned out that Shi Qian came late, and was blocked by a few people, Ma Chao was tall, and his figure was beautiful, but he only saw Ma Chao's back.
Several people laughed out loud together, Ma Chao stepped aside and said with a smile: "General Shi, please come forward!" ”
Shi Qian walked to the front in a big way and nodded with satisfaction: "I can see it clearly this time!" It's really intuitive enough! ”
Wei Qing smiled, pointed at the sand table with a thin wooden stick, and explained one by one: "We are here now, Lanzhou, the first battle is to fight Wuwei, then Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, when we arrive in Jiuquan, we have to see if we need to go on an expedition to the desert, according to intelligence, Geerdan's lair is here!" He pointed to an iron bucket filled with water: "This is Bosten Lake, we are not sure to cross this big lake?" I heard that this lake is as big as the sea, but I don't know if it's true or not! ”
"Then we're going to get the ship ready!" Liu Qi said with a smile.
"It's too early to say this, how many more cities are there ahead of us?" Wei Qing said.
"Didn't the Western Regions Coalition send out a large army?" Bai Buxin found out what Wei Qing meant by these words and asked, "They let us attack these cities!" ”
Wei Qing smiled, and there was a hint of contempt in his smile: "Their army has gathered a bunch, but unfortunately they are all shrunk in the depths of the desert, and the few cities outside are fighting on their own!" ”
All the generals laughed contemptuously, this is called dry thunder and no rain, saying that when the Han Dynasty was fighting, the mountains were called one by one, and when it was time to really use troops, they all retreated, and no one was willing to come out first, and the result became what it is now, which is also due to too many countries, if the entire Western Regions were one country, there would be no such problem.
"Even if the enemy is weak, it is not to be underestimated!" Wei Qing saw that all the generals were contemptuous, and reminded: "We are alone in the depths, we win a hundred times without gain, and defeat once is fatal!" The generals put away their smiles and nodded.
"Everyone will seriously prepare for the war, and tomorrow morning, we will start and go straight to Wuwei!" Wei Qing ordered.
"Order!" The generals received the order loudly.
Wuwei, about 400 miles away from Lanzhou, the Han army on this side was dispatched, and on that side, the city of Wuwei had already learned the news, and the defenders here were the combined forces of Wusun and Qiuzi.
However, this "coalition" is only nominal, in fact, it is a pair of gods, Wusun is the first power in the Western Regions, controlling the countries of the Western Regions, Geldan is the prime minister of Wusun, it is he who launched the call, asking all countries to form a coalition to attack the Han Dynasty, to speak, there is no hatred for no reason in the world, and there is no love for no reason, whether it is Wusun or Geerdan, it will never be idle and bored to fight the Han Dynasty, the reason why Geerdan does this is that there are some reasons: today's Wusun is so strong that it is the best in the Western Regions, The small Western Regions can no longer accommodate Wusun's ambitions, not to mention that there are thirty-six countries in the entire Western Domain, in fact, the other thirty-five countries are already under the control of Wusun, and the next thing to be plundered is, of course, the territory of the Han Dynasty, so in the "turtle" combination, the Wusun people are very active, and in Wuwei, the Wusun people also have actual military power, but the main force of the garrison is not the Wusun army, but the Qiuzi army.
Wuwei's coalition army, not so much a coalition army, but Wusun sent people to supervise the Qiuzi army, Wusun State's fifty-year-old veteran Gongqiu Ming is the commander of the coalition army, his three sons Gongqiu Yi, Gongqiu Undefeated and Gongqiu Li respectively hold military power, but the entire coalition army, the Wusun army has only 1,000 people, but the Qiuzi army has 30,000 people, but Wusun relies on the national strength, forcibly requires the commander of the coalition army to be served by Gongqiu Ming, but the commander of Qiuci Wei Qi'a has become a deputy, such a result is tantamount to the Wusun people commanding the Qiuzi people to fight with the Han army as a supervisor.
It is conceivable that the people of the Turtles would not be satisfied with this situation.
As soon as he received the news that the Han army had set off from Lanzhou, Gongqiu Ming immediately gathered for a combat preparation meeting, but this meeting was different from Wei Qing's combat preparation meeting, Wei Qing's meeting was either ordered by him and accepted by the generals, or the generals discussed and Wei Qing decided, while Gongqiu Ming's meeting was discussed by him and his three sons, and then sent to the general Qiuzi on the spot after getting the decision.
However, this time, Gongqiu Ming was not able to give an order on the spot, because he and his three sons discussed for a long time, and they really didn't know how to deal with the enemy.
The Han army of 200,000 was led by the famous general Wei Qing, with Chen Qingzhi, Liu Qi, Shi Qian, Ma Chao, Hua Mulan and other generals, and Bai Buxin as his deputy, and with many powerful weapons, and the turtle coalition army was only 31,000 people, and the small wall of Wuwei City was really undefendable and could not be attacked.
"General Gongqiu!" Seeing that the Gongqiu family discussed and discussed without any result, Commander Wei Qi'a of Qiuzi finally couldn't help it: "We can't defend it, we can't attack it, we should retreat and join up with other troops before reasoning!" ”
"Phew!" Gongqiu Ming didn't say anything, but Gongqiu Li spoke first: "Resisting the enemy and fleeing from the wind, is it my generation!" ”
"Then how about General Gongqiu lead his army to meet the enemy!" The deputy commander of Qiuzi, Yu Zhi, couldn't stand it anymore and made sarcastic remarks.
"Smack!" Gongqiu Ming slapped the table: "General Yu Zhi, what do you mean, if you dare to make trouble like this, you will be dealt with by military law!" The faces of the two commanders of Qiuzi were flushed, and all the generals of Qiuzi had a look of injustice.
"So be it! Adjourn the meeting first! Gongqiu Ming said coldly: "I really can't discuss it with you, wait for me to discuss it carefully with the three generals, and then tell you how to fight!" ”
The Qiuzi people got up one after another, all of them walked out with shame and hatred, discussing, who they had discussed with, from beginning to end, there were several "Gongqiu" discussing, they were just out of their ears, so they were also reprimanded, but they didn't know who was fighting against the Han army.
Wei Qi'a walked out of the tent not far away, but was stopped by a group of Qiuzi generals, Yu Zhi Poland leader, said to Wei Qi'a: "General Wei Qi, please take a step to speak!" ”
The two walked to the side for a while, and Yu Zhi Poland arched his hand and said: "General Wei Qi, the Wusun people are too deceitful, why should I, the Qiuzi people, form an alliance with the Wusun people to commit the Han, let's send troops to fight a bloody battle, they sit in the temple, win for their benefit, defeat us and damage, how long do we have to do this kind of thing!" ”
Wei Qi'a sighed: "How could I have thought of this, but now that people have military power, we can't move even if we want to!" ”
Yu Zhi looked around and said in a low voice: "The last general has a way, I don't know if the general has the intention!" ”
Wei Qi'a also said in a low voice: "Don't you want to rebel, General Yu Zhi, we have no power in our hands, we can't do it, we have to rebel and drop our own heads first!" ”
Yu Zhi Polish snorted and said in a low voice: "General Wei Qi, they only have a thousand people, if they really want to fight, we are afraid that we will not be able to beat them!" ”
"His three sons are all very brave!" Wei Qi'a replied: "If you are not careful, you will lose everything!" ”
Yu Zhi Poland smiled, put his mouth to Wei Qi'a's ear and said, "You go back first, I will look for you later, and there will be a way to guarantee victory!" ”
