Chapter 11: The cunning and shameless Pei Min

The winter in Jiuqudi in Hexi came very early, the cold wind was howling, the wild grass on the ground was dry, and the vast grassland land was vast!

Great Momen City!

It is the habit of Si Molang to drink a bowl of milk before going to bed, and he drank a large bowl of milk, burped, and said to himself comfortably: "A bowl of milk before going to bed, sleep peacefully until dawn!" ”

He is living a very comfortable life now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been four months since he took over the position of marshal, and it has been half since Pei Min's August appointment.

Except for the initial attack, the Tang army did not move at all. Originally, he was worried about the lack of troops, so he had the cheekiness to borrow troops from Shang Zanpo. Now it seems that Pei Min of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that.

Four months have passed "easily", and there are still four months left, and he has the four cities of Baigu, Wanxiu, Shudu, and Da Momen in his hands, how can there be any reason why he can't hold on.

is a hairy child whose milk has not dried up, and he has some ability, but as long as he is frustrated and the strategy is cracked, his original form will be revealed.

This credit is not too easy to come by!

Thinking of the benefits promised to him by Tubo Zampu and the real ruler Taizan Mengchi Marun before the war, his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of fire, as if he saw the jealous eyes of the Tubo civil and military ministers, such an easy and simple task, but it can be exchanged for such a big reward, just like hitting a pie.

Shrunk into the warm bed, Simorang slept very peacefully.

Suddenly!

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a hurried knock on the door, and Si Mo Lang woke up in his dream, blindfolded and exclaimed, "Is the Tang Army coming?" ”

"It's a fire in the city! Someone maliciously set fire! There was a hurried voice outside the house.

Si Mo Lang got up and got dressed, and said, "There is a fire somewhere, and no one has been caught." ”

Outside the house, he said: "It's being investigated, and the warehouse where the licorice is stored is burning." ”

Si Mo Lang's face turned pale in an instant, and he figured out the reason, on this winter night, he was sweating profusely.

**********

"Knock knock!"

The rapid and deafening drums of the gathering will reverberate in the sky above the town of Guang'en!

The three armies are gathered, and ten thousand horses are assembled!

Pei Min stood on the school field in bright bright armor and looked at the team he had built over the years, and said, "It's all this time, I haven't had a chance to spend this year with my family." However, with the Tibetan children as companions, they must not be lonely. When I was in Chang'an, the Tibetan envoy intended to sue for peace with my Tang Dynasty. We asked them to return to us the Hexi Jiuqu that we stole from my Datang. They regard Hexi Jiuqudi as a piece of fatty meat, and say that there is no reason to spit out the meat after eating it. At that time, I said a sentence: 'Hexi Jiuqu Land is the territory of my Datang, even if you eat it, we will cut off your heads, break your stomachs, and take back the meat!' ’”

"I don't say any clichΓ© tirades, and it makes people sleepy to listen to. In a word, it's time to make good on your promise! Let's go! ”

Nothing long-winded!

A simple sentence of "fulfilling the promise" said that the hearts of the soldiers were hot and fiery, dispelling the cold of winter.

The whole army of the Shence Army was dispatched, and only a small number of soldiers were left in the town of Guangen to defend, and they slaughtered to the upper reaches of the Jiuqu Land in Hexi.

At this moment, in the middle of the Jiuqu Land in Hexi, another 30,000 soldiers and horses are waiting for them.

The commanders of the soldiers and horses were gathering in one place and chatting.

It was Guo Zhiyun and Zuo Xiaocai, the envoy of Longyoujiedu, and the general of Zuo Xiaocai on Gongren.

Guo Zhiyun's face was a little pale, and in this cold winter wind, even though he was wrapped in a bearskin coat, he still looked a little timid.

On Gongren, it is much better, but a few coats are not even worn with leather jackets, and the body is as tall as before in the cold wind.

"The body of the festival envoy is okay!" On Gongren looked at Guo Zhiyun with some concern, it is still early winter, and it has not yet reached the coldest time, Guo Zhiyun is already like this, how can he survive it if he goes down?

Guo Zhiyun smiled indifferently: "It's okay, since a town guards Longyou, the biggest wish is to recover Hexi Jiuqu, and now that it is happening, there is no reason not to participate." Besides, the eldest husband was born in the world, so the horse leather shroud can be worthy of this life, what can a little illness be? ”

Horse Leather Shroud!

On Gongren heard these four words, his eyes also showed a hint of yearning, for Chinese culture, on Gongren is not inferior to ordinary readers, and he also understands that these four words are the highest honor in the heart of a general, thinking that he will be over half a hundred years old this year, and how many years will he have? If you can also die vigorously in battle, you will not be worthy of this.

Guo Zhiyun said: "What does the general think of Pei Guogong?" ”

On Gongren paused and admired: "Amazing talent, given time, it may not be inferior to Wei Huo, Datang has him, and the military is worry-free." Just like this time, who would have thought that the intention of the national government would be like this! I only thought that he forced Tubo from the upper reaches of the river meanders to make a convenient choice, whether to attack the Jiuqu land in the west of the river or to attack Shang Tsangpo and seize the stone fort. How do you think that he is nothing, but takes advantage of the right time and place to force the well-guarded Si Mo Lang to attack, avoid its strengths, attack its shortcomings, and pinch the lifeblood of the Tibetan army with one hand, which is amazing! ”

Guo Zhiyun bowed his head and said: "That's true, it's not just you, I've also wrapped him in." In August, he was not in a hurry, but I was anxious for him. He was good, he made such a clever move. It is also a little cheap for Tubo to occupy, and grasp the absolute initiative of the battle situation. There are people who have successors in Longyou......"

On Gong Ren glanced at Guo Zhiyun in surprise, and he didn't say much.

It is not a secret that Guo Zhiyun is unwell in the frontier, he has been cultivating Wang Junyu, the number one general under his command, as his heir, and now it seems that this matter is going to be yellow.

"It's coming!" Guo Zhiyun suddenly looked south, and a majestic soldier appeared in their sight.

Guo Zhiyun and Gong Ren looked at each other, their expressions gradually became solemn from the first inadvertent, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The Shence Army is the first army on the border, and they laughed when they heard it.

They don't deny that Pei Min is powerful, but the establishment of a strong army requires a long period of war training, and the Shence Army has only been in force for a few years, how can it be compared with the male soldiers guarding the frontier?

Now that they see the original appearance of the Shence Army, they can't help but feel a little surprised in their hearts: the bright armor, the neat formation, and the high fighting spirit all show that the Shence Army is extraordinary.

However, in just a few years, the Shence Army has grown up here!

With amazement, the two led the crowd to greet them.

When he came to the nearest place, Pei Min dismounted first and said hello: "I have seen the envoy of Jiedu, and I am talking about the general." ”

This expedition, with the Shence Army and the Longyou Army as the mainstay, supplemented by the Liangzhou Army, Guo Zhiyun is higher than Pei Min in the military position, and Guo Zhiyun is the commander of the three armies in Longyou Dao, and Pei Min is the deputy commander second only to Guo Zhiyun. However, when Li Longji issued the appointment, he specially added a sentence "The responsibility of the three armed forces is to be commissioned", which also means that although Pei Min is not the commander-in-chief, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

However, Guo Zhiyun and Gong Ren are both elders, and they are still seniors who have repeatedly made military exploits for the Tang Dynasty. Pei Min gave them enough respect.

Guo Zhiyun and Gong Ren also dismounted and returned the salute, and the three of them did not talk about the past, and directly led the soldiers and horses to the north.

Pei Min also saw that Guo Zhiyun's face was not good, and asked about the situation on the way.

got Guo Zhiyun's answer, Pei Min was convinced, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

He had already set a place to settle, and it was a wide land thirty miles north of Manglagou.

The vast expanse over there is the most suitable for large-scale operations, and it is Pei Min's ideal battlefield.

In view of the characteristics of Tubo's attack, Pei Min divided the Shence Army, the Longyou Army, and the Liangzhou Army into three battalions.

With the Shence Army as the front, the left and right flanks of the Longyou Army and the Liangzhou Army formed a corner to deal with the possible night attack of Tubo.

The Tang army began to stand still again!

**********

Great Momen City!

Si Mo Lang's brows were tightly locked, and he felt at a loss.

He has been in the army for 15 years and has not experienced any bitter battles for 35 years.

But after such an aggrieved battle, Simalang still suffered it for the first time.

The grassland of Jiuqudi in Hexi is vast, and their herds are scattered and grazing, which is not suitable for defense, and they have miscalculated again and again.

In particular, the opponent's intelligence work is extremely in place, and every time he can find their weak points to attack, he has to shrink the formation and gather the herd to gather to attack.

After making such a decision, sure enough, the harm of the attack they avoided forced the Tang army to have nothing to do and did not move.

In this regard, Xi Molang was quite complacent, and took advantage of the fact that the Tang army did not come to attack, and rebuilt and sorted out Baigu City, Wanxiu City, Shudun City, and Damomen City to deal with the possible attack of the Tang army.

It's just that the Tang Army has not moved for several months, and Xi Molang feels inexplicable, and he doesn't know what tricks Pei Min has.

Until winter came, a few fires instantly woke up Simolang, but it was too late.

The Tang army had already sent troops north at the first time, and the 50,000-strong army threatened Baigu City.

The cunning and shameless Pei Min avoided the autumn season of high grass fertilizer, and took advantage of the cold of winter to cut off their logistics grain and grass: most of their logistics support came from the milk of cattle and sheep, and the milk production of cattle and sheep in the cold winter was reduced.

Pei Min secretly burned most of their hay and forced them to graze in the upper reaches of the small Jiuqu Land in Hexi......

How are they going to spend this winter?

Cattle and sheep don't eat, people don't eat!

In the winter, where do they go to find hay to feed hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep?

Once these hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep starved to death, their life in Jiuqu Land in Hexi was completely gone!

After a series of fiascos, Tubo's national strength has been consumed enormously, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep have been lost.

Xi Molang couldn't have imagined that Pei Min would be so deceitful that he would take advantage of winter and climate to attack the inconspicuous hay and directly force them into a desperate situation.

If you don't fight, you are trapped in the city waiting to die.

There is still a glimmer of life in the battle.

Xi Mo Lang couldn't imagine that he would be forced to attack the Jedi who was good at guarding, and immediately sent an order, "Gather soldiers and prepare to fight with the Tang Dynasty!" After thinking about it, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Take my command, and order Shang Zanpo to immediately lead the troops to join me, if you don't comply, you will be punished by military law!" ”
