Chapter Forty-Seven: The General Who Plundered the Army
In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the fifteenth day of the seventh month of autumn, six o'clock in the afternoon.
Lushan precipitation guards, along the Hangai Mountain west, to clean up the four surnames of Tiele. The victory of the Tianshan Mountains, the remnants are still there, the Tiele tribes, and the birds of the bow. The resistance of the organization is symbolic, and even kneeling to surrender. The Tang army was like a bamboo, nine battles and nine victories along the way, and the enemy fled in despair.
Bayanhongol Province, east of the Baidarig River, the Great Destruction of the Tielehun Division. More than 6,000 enemies were annihilated, countless prisoners were captured, and Hunbu Ye Hu was captured alive. The so-called Ye Hu is the official name of the tribal leader and Hui Hui. The status is second only to the Khan, and they are all hereditary replacements, and the clan is strong.
Cross the Baidarig River and continue to the west, pulling out the solid leaves to protect the surrender. Lao Xue was so funny that he didn't accept surrender, paid 700 casualties, and broke the solid department. Then they plundered the gold, silver, and jewelry, cattle, sheep, horses, camels, and the flower girls of Tiele.
They slaughtered men, burned felt tents, humiliated women, and did all kinds of bad things. Wu Kang also dissuaded him, and the military law clearly stipulated that this was a murderous act. Lao Xue listened, and the army continued westward, entering the province of Zabhan. When attacking Abs and Tongluobu, he played a new trick.
According to the size of the tribe, different standards were formulated, and cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as beautiful women's jewelry, were requested. If you are obedient and filial, I will spare you and attack the next tribe; If you can't get it, then don't talk nonsense, brothers, give it to me.
The guards became robbers, the baskets came in handy, and the pockets of each were bulging. Wu Kang was helpless, influenced by Su Dingfang, and didn't want to get involved. Stay in the barracks all day, perform the duties of the long history, count all kinds of data, and no longer kill people with knives.
This crusade against Mobei was covered with blood, and just killing prisoners of war was a large blood debt. In the upper reaches of the Zabkhan River, during the attack on Tongluobu, the pre-war meeting ended and the troops began to be arranged. Rengui gave an order, the offensive war drums sounded, and the guards charged with a roar.
Wu Kang left the barracks, dressed in gold armor and with an iron horizontal sword around his waist. With the Wu camp guards, he ascended Enhetaiwan Mountain, intending to revisit his hometown. After defeating the Tongluo Department and completing the counterinsurgency task, he hurried back to the court. End the Battle of Mobei and go home to hug your daughter-in-law.
Yesterday and Xue Rengui, after a long conversation all night, there was a contradiction in my heart. Rengui earnestly taught that the barbarians in the north committed crimes on the border and treated the Han people with burning, killing and looting. What we are doing now is only to give back to others in their own way, and not to be kind to women.
There is some truth in it, and I may not have seen it, so my conscience is disturbed. When you come to the halfway up the mountain, don't think about it, pinch a hillside wildflower, smell the attractive fragrance of flowers, and stick the smell of the helmet. Half-lying among the flowers, carrying a telescope, observing the situation under the mountain.
The attack pattern is similar, first sending bows and crossbows to shoot from a distance, and then sending infantry to charge. Then the cavalry attacked, and the two flanks continued to harass, completing the division and encirclement. After the whole army attacked, the Tongluo formation was scattered, and the rout was a foregone conclusion. The battlefield is boring, not evenly matched, but bloody slaughter.
Turning the telescope, the sky is blue and white, and the white clouds are falling and falling. The rolling hills are dotted with wildflowers, and the picture is breathtaking. Compared with the tour in the previous life, the scenery is more beautiful at this moment, pure natural and pollution-free. If conditions permit, I really want to climb to the top of the mountain and conquer the Hangai Mountains.
The camera suddenly froze, Wu Kang was half-squatting in an instant, and in the mountain col 100 meters away, he saw a bear. It is larger than a wild boar and has long brown hair and is dirty on it. The bear stared at this side vigilantly and assumed an attack pose.
It means that you are not afraid, and if you fight alone, you are not your opponent. But I have a brother here, and if you dare to attack, then eat bear paws tonight. After a long look at it, it should be a brown bear, much like a North American grizzly bear. It feels very unscientific, and the desert climate of Outer Mongolia makes it difficult for brown bears to adapt.
Could it be the Gobi bear, the only desert bear in the world's bear species, is really rare. I don't know how long it took, the shouting became smaller and smaller, and the battle was coming to an end. The Gobi bear did not attack, turned around and ran into the col, chubby and cute.
Wu Kang retracted his gaze and turned the camera again, unable to help but be dumbfounded. A hundred meters away on the west side, there was a small group of Tongluo people, fleeing this way. In front of them are gorgeously dressed, they are the nobles of Tongluo, and in the back are the warriors of Tongluo, the number is about twenty.
More than 40 guards of the Tang Army, carrying horizontal swords and shields, followed by close pursuit. Within fifty meters, the nobles still fled, and the warriors turned to resist. Within twenty meters of the distance, all the Wu camps appeared, blocking in front of Wu Kang, taking arrows and drawing bows to aim.
The nobleman screamed, his body froze in place, and his expression was extremely frightened. There is no way forward, there are pursuers behind, very desperate. Wu Kang sneered, gave Zhao Sheng a telescope, got up to look at everyone, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The two Tongluo boys, less than ten years old, are very imposing. Stopped in front of the nobleman and put on an attacking posture, just a dagger in his hand, obviously a pear-sharpening one. There was a woman standing in the back, handsome with raw facial features, holding swaddling clothes in her hands, and her hairstyle was very funny.
Her hair is tied up at the top of her head in an awl bun with a red rope tied at the roots. This is a Uighur bun, popular among noblewomen, with an emaciated figure, resembling a red tassel gun. There are four people behind the beautiful woman, and they look like brothers and sisters, and they are no more than twenty years old.
Coincidentally, the two men are twins, and so are the two ladies. They looked at this side with despair on their faces. The two men confirmed their eyes, and suddenly stormed out at the same time, rushing out from the left and right sides, both with bare hands.
Wu Kang pulled out a sneer, you come to give away the head, then I will accept it all. Shenke Pinglang shot, two sharp arrows penetrated his heart, and the two men fell to the ground. Brief convulsions, wailing and cessation, death. The beautiful woman collapsed, hugged the swaddling clothes tightly, looked at the corpse and wept, not daring to make a sound.
The two boys also rushed over and were also shot instantly, leaving only three women. The young woman still has trouser legs, the right woman is trembling, and the left woman is full of resentment. Wu Kang spread his hands and expressed his sincere apologies: "Don't blame me, this is war." Whoever charges at me must be killed. ”
The left woman suddenly went violently, bypassed the young woman with the javelin, and rushed out with her teeth and claws. Wu Kang decisively broke his promise and shouted not to release arrows. The guards were very knowledgeable, not only put away their bows and arrows, but also flashed out of the road when the lady came to fight. Let him beat the big guy, squeeze his eyebrows, and enjoy the funny picture.
Small fists punch you, hammer gold armor, aren't you afraid of hand pain. Wu Kang ignored her, watched the battle situation ahead, and sneered again. Seven Tongluo warriors, holding knives and lining up in a horizontal line, dozens of Tang Army guards, couldn't solve it.
Looking at their armor and equipment, it should be Ye Hu's personal guard, the most elite Tiele soldier. Lin Pinglang leaned over and whispered in his ear: "The robe on the opposite side is the guard of the Junming Mansion under General Sun." The bearded man at the head is Captain Zuo Guoyi, it seems that his name is Han Yiyong, can we help? ”
Luozhou Junming Mansion, the high-grade Zhechong Mansion, seems to be elite. It's a pity that so many people can't do seven, it's just a wine bag and a rice bag. Wu Kang decided to make a move, glanced at the crazy woman, and said, "Do you want to know how to make the woman stop, learn something from me." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed her slender waist, lifted her up, and forced her to stand on her toes. With his left hand, he pinched her cheeks, forced her to turn her face and open her mouth, and bowed her head for a French kiss. The picture is extremely weird, and I don't know how long it took for the woman to finally be honest.
Hugged her behind him, ignored the bewildered crowd, and took out the Zhemu longbow from the bow on his back. Take out the knuckle cone from the counting bag and put on the bowstring in a hurry. The Tang Dynasty military law stipulates that when the bow is in storage, the bowstring must be removed, which can prolong the life.
This three-stone strong bow, made of precious wood, was also given by the queen. Draw the bow with an arrow and aim, find the right time to launch, the warrior falls to the ground in response, and the guards shout and cheer. The guards were afraid of being injured by mistake, so they quickly dodged left and right to enjoy the general's performance.
Six arrows killed six people, and the seventh man was shot in the shin, intending to let him go. The guards took control of it and escorted it to Wukang, Zuo Guoyi Han Yiyong, and reported the military salute to the door: "Henan Daojun Ming Mansion, Zuo Guoyi Han Yiyong, with the third team of guards, give the general a salute." The general's cavalry and shooting are unparalleled, and today is an eye-opener. ”
Wu Kang returned the salute with a smile, asked about the battle, and Yi Yong gushed: "The Tongluo people are very cowardly, we haven't exerted our strength yet, and they can't form an army." However, Tongluo is very fat, and Xue Shuai is in Yehu's house, and he has found a lot of treasures. I found this barbarian fleeing into the mountains, and led the army to chase and kill here. ”
According to the rules of the barracks, whoever pursues the prey first is the prey, and no one else can interfere. Wu Kang pondered for a moment, not wanting to oppress people with power, and discussed with Yan Yuese: "You can take their belongings, let them be given to me, and accept your favor." ”
Easy to use nodded immediately, although the women are beautiful, it will not be their turn, give it to the general first. All the guards moved together and quickly scraped the corpse, leaving only the crotch cloth. The mother and daughter were very cooperative and took the initiative to hand over their belongings. The lady who was forcibly kissed, holding a pearl earring, hid behind Wu Kang.
When the scraping was completed, Yi Yi took a belt and pointed to the text to report: "They are special service soldiers, and the four special services of Tongluo were all killed by our army." It is suspected that they are the family members of the special services, and the general is requested to deal with them at his discretion. ”
Wu Kang was noncommittal, Yi Yi saluted again, and led the guards away. The so-called special service is also the name of the Hui official, which is transliterated from the Turkic Turkic. The Turkic Hui official rank, a total of twenty-eight ranks, under the Khan is Ye Hu, and the special service ranks third, similar to the three-rank officer.
The war has ended, and the four surnames of Tiele on the West Road have declared all peace. Wu Kang took a strong bow on his back, glanced at the wounded warrior, and called Hu Chang to order: "Bandage his wounds, and then tell them that if you want to save your life, you will be a prisoner obediently." ”
Hu Chang promised to carry it out, and he grunted birds. He is a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou, not yet seventeen years old, and he is Pinglang's cousin, a very handsome young man. He is very linguistic, proficient in Turkic languages, and also understands the Uighur language.
Wu Kang instructed the guards: "They are quite beautiful, I will reward them all to you and take them home as concubines." Don't abuse them, don't drown babies. As for how to distribute it, you can discuss it yourself, don't hurt the harmony, Zhao Sheng is responsible for supervising. ”
After speaking, he walked away, bypassed the stunned woman, and went down the mountain to find Xue Rengui. Walking to the foot of the mountain, listening to the cheers of the three armies, it is estimated that the victory is over, and I can go home for the New Year, and the collective climax. As soon as I took a step, I listened to the neat shout: "The general has three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man sings into the Han Pass..."
The sycophant was very slippery, and Wu Kang laughed dryly, although it was exaggerated, it made some sense. The twelve Tiele warriors provoked, and Rengui killed three people with three arrows, which hit Tieler's morale. It laid a good foundation for me to command the three armies and achieve a great victory in the Tianshan Mountains.
Looking at the past, the tooth tent was full of devastation, and the guards smiled. All kinds of booty were seized, including cow and sheep skins, miscellaneous clothing, and the population of Tongluo. Men are reduced to slaves and maids, and beautiful women are reduced to soldiers' playthings.
I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, the biggest role of the battlefield is to turn people into beasts. If I attack the Wa Kingdom, I will also become a beast, and we will also come to Sanguang. However, sending troops to Mobei is to let Tiele attach, and it is really not advisable to rob.
When I came to the tent of the Chinese army, I heard laughter and smelled the strong smell of wine. The guards lifted the camp curtain, and Wu Kang stepped inside, seeing the woman dancing. The dress is very refreshing, they are all smiling, looking at their skin, it is obvious that they are the same Luo nobles.
Xue Rengui and Sun Renshi came over with a wine jug and grabbed Wu Kang's wrist. After a brief greeting for a moment, Rengui was quite heroic: "The task has been completed, don't be sad, hurry up and drink at the table." Sun Changshi Li joined the army, and hurriedly arranged slaves and maids to go to the desert to the big fat sheep. ”
Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, sat on the low couch, and raised his glass to invite a drink. After three glasses of wine, Sun Renshi laughed: "Quell the nine surnames of Tiele, the task has been successfully completed, and the change is great." After the great victory in the Tianshan Mountains, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue the situation, and we have today's situation, but we cannot wait for it to change. ”
Rengui immediately answered: "Master Ren's words are reasonable, the gift has been prepared early, and it is in the long history bed." Look, the dancing ladies in front of you are all the same Luo noblewoman. The two most watery people in the front row, they are the same women as Luoshe, if you like it, I will send you a sleeping tent. ”
It is also an official position of Hui, and his status is second only to Ye Hu, similar to a second-class officer. If it is not bad as expected, there are also bribes in his sleeping tent. They dragged me into the water, and if the incident happened in the future, many people would share the blame.
Besides, my brother-in-law is still the queen of today, the best shield. Between the thoughts and thoughts, I think that I can't refuse, and I must be in the same stream. They are all corrupt, and if I stand out from the crowd, I will offend people. If we work together in the future, it will be difficult to get along.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, Sun Renshi interjected: "Rengui doesn't know, although the two girls have a look, they can't look down on them. General Liu Renyuan said that the female color of change love, similar to Cao Wei Mengde, is best given birth. ”
Rengui laughed loudly, and said: "The woman who is protected by Luo Yehu has a flower and moon appearance, and her mother also has a look. have charm, natural stunners. Don't worry, I'll arrange it, and she'll take care of you. ”
The implication is that the daughter of Tong Luo Yehu has been accepted by her. These two old perverts, as well as Liu Renyuan, are not good birds, and they have fun with Nayong. Wu Kang drank a glass of wine and said with a pleasant face: "Rengui looks at the arrangement, I don't care. When are we going to be a teacher, I have to prepare in advance. ”
When it came to business, the two became serious, and Sun Renshi replied: "I discussed with Rengui, and after five days, we will return the same way." Autumn in Mobei is short, the weather is unpredictable, and it can't be delayed any longer. If you think about it, if you have a better suggestion, let's discuss it together. ”
The so-called return by the same way is along Hangai Mountain, southeast to the Wengjin River. Then it goes south down the river, crosses the Gobi in the south, crosses the Altai Mountains, and enters the Hetao Plain. Along the Hexi Corridor, take the two roads of Guannei and Henan, and finally return to Luoyang.
Wu Kang thought that this was the best route and nodded in agreement. Establish the class teacher's route and start to push the cup and change the lamp. The three of them were very drunk, no longer paying attention to military law, and were very drunk. This Mobei march committed too many military laws, and it was not bad for a hangover barracks.
Wu Kang was drunk for eight minutes, and was carried by Chu Shenke, and returned to Changshi's bed. There are five boxes in the middle, and two of them are opened casually, all of which are gold, silver and jewelry. Closing the lid of the treasure chest, he turned his head to look to the left, where three women knelt.
On either side are sister flowers, and in the middle is a little young woman who is breastfeeding her baby. Wu Kang frowned slightly, he has already rewarded the guards, why are you in my bed. Don't the rabbit cubs dare to take it for themselves and honor the big guy all?
Turning her head to the right, there was a middle-aged woman, kneeling next to a low couch. is about forty years old, it is estimated that it is Ye Hu's wife, and sure enough, the charm still exists. There was also Lori next to her, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, with big watery eyes and obvious tear stains.
Xue Rengui is interesting enough, beauties at various stages are ready for Nai Weng. This battle is comfortable, there is money and beautiful women, but there is no sexual interest. Come to the wooden couch, pour a cup of hot tea, pick up the bed cover, and spread the low couch side. Comfortable and full of burps, he lightly commanded: "Go to bed and sleep, don't serve me." ”
Remove the golden armor, hang it on the armor bed, remove the weapon from your body, and throw it aside at any time. Take off all your clothes, wear only boxers, sleep with a horizontal knife on your head, and wrap yourself in a quilt. As for these women, they were all brought back to Luoyang and handed over to their daughter-in-law to deal with.
Five days later, the army marched on time and followed the established route to the upper reaches of the Onjin River. Xue Rengui passed the military order, and the whole army accelerated its pace and stayed away from the mass graves. 130,000 lives, absolutely terrified, if placed in the previous life, he would have been court-martialed.
Along the Weng Jin River to the south, sixty miles away from Ulan Lake, after receiving a report from the scout, the guards of Tiele Road set up camp at Ulan Lake. The two armies soon met, Wu Kang sneered even more, the evil deeds of the defenders of Lu Shan, compared with Tiele Dao, are nothing to be seen.
Great tracts of cattle and sheep, herds of captives, were plundered. This is the Tang Dynasty army, it is clearly a bandit army, if Su Dingfang is here, it will definitely be heartbroken. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was ironic, the teacher would be dismissed only if he was not in the same stream.
In the military tent of Tielezhong, the dialogue was to protect Liu Xianli and listen to him tell about the military situation. They pursued northward, first attacking the Sijie Division, and then attacking the Duoyan Ge Division. The two ministries asked to surrender before the war, but Zheng Rentai did not accept it, and waved his army to break them. Then the soldiers robbed, money, women, and livestock, and gave it all to the soldiers.
The property he looted was specially divided into a part and bribed the commander of the West Road. The purpose is self-evident, General Dora will go into the water and share the blame in the future. Xue Rengui's bribe, Wu Kang can accept it, and Zheng Rentai's gift must be strictly rejected and not have anything to do with him.
Liu Xianli continued, and the rest of Tiele's departments all fled in despair. The Tang army pursued along the way, almost every time in the air, and the two sides played hide and seek. Yang Zhi, the general of the right military guard, caught up with the Tiele army in the northwest of Tiansheng, but was defeated by Hui and died on the battlefield.
Wu Kang scoffed, this kind of waste general, the sooner he dies, the better. You're only 4,000 men, so you should follow and follow, bite the back on the ass, and then notify the army. But you are greedy for merit, and you attack 20,000 with 4,000, which is simply a gift to people.
Not all generals can win more with less, and if you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work. After Wu Kang finished complaining, he asked Liu Xianli: "The Turkic cavalry left, and there were only 20,000 in the battalion. The general manager, Zheng Rentai, with the rest of the guards, is also coming back soon, right? ”
Lao Liu was suddenly silent, and after a long time, he said: "The two scouts reported that in the northeast of the Huiya tent, a large number of materials were found, and cattle and sheep were all over the field. General Zheng chose cavalry, brought only a few rations, and went to pursue the enemy lightly. ”
There was silence in the tent for an instant, Wu Kang got up suddenly, and his voice was extremely excited: "I said a long time ago, the autumn climate in Mobei is changing rapidly. On a sunny day, it may be blink of an eye, and it will fly sand and rocks. Especially the Xiancao River, this is even more the case, why don't you stop it? ”
Lao Liu sighed, didn't answer the eyes of the three people, and his words were full of grievances: "I persuaded him like this, but he couldn't listen." Let's go first, he will chase after the enemy. I'm waiting here, it's been ten days, and there's still no news. ”
Sun Renshi looked at Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui looked at Liu Xianli, staring at each other with wide eyes. Soon his eyes focused, and Wu Kang smiled lightly: "Look at what I do, no one can do anything." What can be done now is to pray to God that there will be no blizzards. ”
As expected, Li Chunfeng's prophecy is likely to come true. Rentai was greedy for merit, and the victory in the Battle of Tianshan successfully stimulated him. Fourteen thousand cavalry, all lightly armed, if a blizzard falls from the sky... The grasslands are icy and snowy, the rivers are all frozen, the army has no rations, and there are no river fish to feed their hunger, how can they survive?
