Chapter 623: Return to Liangzhou

The news of the Tang army's return to Hexi soon spread to Liangzhou, and the tribes of the Liugu tribe were all served in one pot, except for those who were killed by the Tang army, as long as the Liugu tribesmen and cattle and sheep who did not escape were escorted back to the Changsong Governor's Mansion by the Tang army.

Of course, the Liugu Department was composed of six large tribes, and Liu Kui did not destroy the entire Liugu Department in one fell swoop, but exterminated the four tribes near the capital of Changsong.

The capital of the Changsong Governor's Mansion was originally Changsong County, and later because the Liugu Department was returned to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty established the Changsong Governor's Mansion here.

However, the Rokuya tribe is a nomadic people, and they are used to living in the town, so there have not been many garrisons in this prefecture before.

Of course, when the Tang army took it, there were not many people to defend.

After annihilating the 30,000-strong army of the Liugu Department and destroying most of the Liugu Division, Liu Kui did not immediately drive the army to Liangzhou.

Because at this time, there were not many enemy troops outside the city of Liangzhou, with nearly 30,000 cavalry, some of which were the Uighur army of Ganzhou.

In fact, the situation in Liangzhou is not bad in the entire battle situation in Hexi, and the situation is still under control like the two prefectures of Sha and Gua of the Guiyi Army.

In Liangzhou, the Tang army had 20,000 troops, and the people in the city could also be armed to defend the city, so the army of the Liugu Department had not been able to attack Liangzhou City.

To be precise, the 30,000 allied forces of the Liugubu and the Uighurs in Ganzhou launched a total of three attacks, each time losing their troops and losing their troops, and then they stopped attacking.

The same was true of the Guiyi army, and the strength of the Shazhou Uighurs was not strong.

In fact, the situation was most unfavorable in the Gansu Prefecture, in which Suzhou had been broken by the Uighur army a month earlier, and the 5,000 defenders had been wiped out.

It's just that the news hasn't come out yet, after all, Suzhou and Liangzhou are too far apart, and there is a Ganzhou stuck in the middle.

The situation in Ganzhou is also precarious, but Wang Jian has been guarding, and the Ganzhou Uighurs are looking at the city of Ganzhou, and there is really no good way.

When the news of the Tang Army's reinforcements reached the ears of the second leader of the Six Valleys, the second leader also panicked.

You must know that the strength of the Tang army in Liangzhou City is still there, and tens of thousands of Tang army reinforcements are coming here, will their 30,000 people fight or withdraw?

It can be said that this is a difficult problem.

And while the enemy army outside Liangzhou was hesitating, Liu Kui, who was waiting for the follow-up troops, finally sent troops westward.

After transferring a part of the cavalry from Lanzhou, Liu Kui took 40,000 cavalry out of Tumen Town and arrived more than 100 miles east of Liangzhou City by two routes.

It's not that Liu Kui doesn't want to join forces with the army in Liangzhou City and flank the 30,000 enemy troops outside Liangzhou City, but his whereabouts have long been exposed. The distance was far away, and the army was a little tired, so Liu Kui simply rested in the Changsong Governor's Mansion for a few days, and then marched towards Liangzhou with great fanfare when the army was assembled.

The 40,000 cavalry marched to Liangzhou with great fanfare, and the combined forces of the Liugubu and Ganzhou Uighurs naturally knew.

This becomes a difficult problem, it is not to fight, and it is not to fight.

"Second leader, now that the Tang army is coming from a large number of sources, there is no need for us to start a war with the Tang army in Liangzhou. The Tang people have a good saying, 'Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood', why don't the two leaders withdraw to Ganzhou with their troops.

When the time comes, the army of the two chiefs and the army of the Khanate will unite, and even the Tang army will have to weigh whether to start a war with the Khanate.

It is not impossible that even the second leader can recapture the clan land with the help of the khanate. ”

After learning of the arrival of Tang reinforcements, the Uighurs had plans to retreat.

Now the people of the Liugu Department are panicked, and their morale has plummeted, and fighting with the Tang Army at this time is undoubtedly self-defeating.

"Second leader, I think what Musa Wanhu said makes sense!" Drew chimed in.

The news of the Tang Army's reinforcements was brought by Drew, but Drew's killing of his brother, who was the big leader, was not hidden.

However, the big leader and the second leader are in a competitive relationship, and once the other party dies, the second leader has one less big enemy.

"The second leader can't, we retreat to Ganzhou, what should the tribesmen do? It is unlikely that they will move with us anytime soon. If these warriors were to abandon their people, they would surely cause trouble. The six leaders hurriedly persuaded.

The second leader also felt that what the other party said made some sense, if he really went to Ganzhou, he would be sent under the fence at that time, and he might even be annexed.

On the night of the second leader's indecision, the Tang army launched a night attack.

However, it was not Liu Kui's army, but the Tang army in Liangzhou City.

Because the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was also worried that the enemy army would retreat, and the Ganzhou Uighurs would be more difficult to deal with, they decided to take the risk of launching a surprise attack.

After deciding on the plan of the raid, Wan Baichuan led 13,000 cavalry to kill from Liangzhou City at night.

Due to the huge momentum and the fact that it was night, both the Uighur army led by Musa and the Rokuya army led by the second leader thought that the reinforcements of the Tang army had arrived.

For a time, both armies had no fighting spirit.

Musa, in particular, wanted to retreat.

When the army of Wanbaichuan came, Musa directly ordered the Uighur army to retreat.

The retreat of the Uighur army directly put the army of Rokuyabe in a difficult situation, and after a fierce battle, the second leader and others chose to surrender.

However, after surrendering, the second leader and others learned that it was actually the Tang army in Liangzhou City that attacked them, not the reinforcements of the Tang army.

But they are all prisoners, what's the use of regretting?

In fact, Liu Kui didn't expect Liangzhou to be so bold, and he actually directly attacked the enemy army with nearly 30,000 troops with 13,000 cavalry.

Although Liu Kui's army did not participate in this battle, if his army had not arrived, the enemy's resistance would not have been so weak.

The 30,000-strong army was defeated at the touch of a button, but it saved a lot of trouble, at least Liu Kui couldn't be so tossed.

Before the first battle of Shangchuan Town, the first battle of the Liugu tribe, and the battle of Liangzhou, after the three battles, the number of dead in the Liugu tribe exceeded 40,000, which can be said to be the third battle of the six valleys.

The six leaders of the Rokutani Tribe, except for the three chiefs, the four chiefs and the big leader who was killed by Drew, the six leaders of the Rokutani tribe were only the second, fifth and sixth chiefs, and all three of the latter surrendered to the Tang army.

It is definitely unrealistic to destroy the Rokutanibe, so many people, you can't kill them all. However, if the Rokutani Department continues to exist, it will not be a thing, otherwise the next time there will be a change in the DPRK, there will be such a rebellion again.

Therefore, after the battle, in addition to reinforcing the Gansu Governor's Office, how to deal with the Rokuya Department was put on the agenda.

Liu Kui is not a person from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate now, and he will naturally not participate in how to deal with the Liugu Division.

However, the conditions of Liangzhou City could not accommodate his 40,000 troops, and it happened that the two tribes in the Liugu Department were not far from Liangzhou City, so Liu Kui stationed the 40,000 troops in the clan land of the Liugu Tribe.

Even if the garrison problem is solved, it can also deter the Rokutani Department.

After settling the army, Liu Kui and Long Zhi entered Liangzhou City with some of their own soldiers, and it can be said that both of them reunited in their old places.
