Chapter 69 Zhang Xiaosong surrenders
In the face of the situation that has changed now, Pei Min has studied the military books left by Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian over the years, and can almost predict that one day in the future, they will really fight with Arabia.
It is not as hasty as the Battle of Talas in history, but a real showdown, a great war related to the fortunes of the country and the status of the world's first power.
And the battlefield is in the Western Regions!
Mastering the Western Regions is equivalent to grasping the initiative on the battlefield, and understanding the Western Regions is equivalent to understanding the opportunity.
No matter which military book it is, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the first priority.
Over the years, Pei Min has seen too much death, and his heart has become colder and colder, precisely because he knows that the fragility of life is worthless, so he attaches more and more importance to life.
Ignoring every detail of a war can cause many casualties and even become the key to victory or defeat.
Paying more attention to details can often save many lives.
Pei Min never dared to be sloppy in this regard.
This is also the reason why the combat effectiveness of the Longyou Army is really strong, almost every soldier can feel Pei Min's attention to them, and therefore everyone is willing to die for it.
A truly powerful army, in addition to being well-trained and well-equipped, has the spirit of not fearing death and moving forward.
Many times, this spirit is more important than training equipment.
Facing Zhang Xiaosong, Pei Min didn't mind showing his vision.
"We, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Country, will have a war in the Western Regions in the future. The most powerful lion legion in Europe and Africa, which has always been in charge of the opposing side, has withdrawn to the east. It shows that they have already begun to prepare, and we will realize it later, and when the Western Regions no longer belong to us, it will be too late. ”
"Guogong, this is slightly the same as what I see!" Zhang Xiaosong was already a little on the same level, and he couldn't help but slap the table with his confidant: "Not only did the lion army be transferred, but also increased troops to Tianzhu." As far as the chaos in Tianzhu is concerned, the big food country will clean them up, and that is the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and it is a matter of effort. At that time, they will show a semi-encircled posture towards the Western Regions. ”
Pei Min has no impression of India during this period, almost no record is in the book, the only impression is that Wang Xuance destroyed a country by himself and destroyed India.
In all fairness, Wang Xuance's ability is not as exaggerated as imagined, and his performance in history is limited to this.
It is great that this person destroyed a country, but it has nothing to do with India being too weak.
As far as India is concerned, Pei Min really doesn't think they have any ability to stop the Muslim army of the Arab Empire.
"How do you feel about the big food army that fights with you!"
Pei Min asked a question.
Zhang Xiaosong shook his head and smiled: "This can't be said, it will confuse the public." In fact, the record under the game is beautiful, and it can't be counted. On the one hand, the Great Food Nation did not show its real strength, and it was only their border army that came to take the Western Regions, not even the Muslim army. On the other hand, on the surface, it is the alliance of Tubo and Dashi, but in fact they are suspicious of each other, and Tubo instigates the countries to be enemies of our Tang Dynasty, but they don't want to marry others, and help Dashiguo to attack the Western Regions they dream of. It was also because I saw through this that I dared to take a long-drive approach and go straight into the hinterland, catching them off guard. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "If I take what I encounter as the standard, I will definitely suffer." ”
Pei Min heard Zhang Xiaosong say this, and the more he looked at this person, the more pleasing he became, and the battle to aid Bahanna was his personal peak.
When ordinary people say that they are at their most brilliant, they will inevitably be complacent, exaggerate themselves and exaggerate their enemies, so as to improve their heroic deeds.
Zhang Xiaosong did not do this, but calmly analyzed everything, which is really rare.
"Be able to see through the internal contradictions of the enemy and adopt the most correct tactics! It is the most remarkable thing about a wise general, Mr. Nakayama does not have to favor one over the other! ”
He praised in his mouth, looking at such a talented person, his heart of love for talent beat again, and he couldn't help but say: "For the situation in Hexi, I believe that with Mr. Zhongshan's intelligence, he can guess one or two." In Hexi, there was no festival envoy, so there were seven governors in charge of the seven states in the territory. Now I'm in charge of the whole situation, and I don't need so many governors to exist. I only plan to set up governors in the three key areas of Xizhou, Shazhou, and Yizhou, in order to deal with temporary sudden wars. ”
"Cui Xiyi, the governor of Xizhou, the governor of Shazhou, Feng Changqing, the original governor of Yizhou is Leqi, this person is also quite talented, but he is too greedy for power, and he is easy to make mistakes, I originally planned to think of a way to replace him. But I didn't want him to be very self-aware, and when I saw that I was emptying him, he automatically quit his job. There is also a vacancy in the position of the governor of Yizhou, are you interested in coming to Hexi to help me? ”
Zhang Xiaosong was instantly moved.
Most of the literati in the Tang Dynasty had the ambition to join the army, and Zhang Xiaosong invited himself to the Western Regions, but he also had the ambition to yearn for the frontier and make contributions.
This time he was impeached, and even if he was exonerated afterwards, it would be impossible for him to go to the Western Regions in the short term.
His official position is not high, but he is just supervising the imperial history, and under the eighth grade, he is only a little higher than the ninth grade sesame official, and the eighth grade mung bean official. It is only because Li Longji gave him the right to act arbitrarily that he is qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of the three armed services. Otherwise, with his official rank, even if he is far away in the Western Regions, there is also a vote above him, and he is not qualified to command the army at all.
However, according to his outstanding record in the Western Regions, it is reasonable to be promoted by leaps and bounds.
I didn't want people to be unlucky, so I stuffed my teeth when I drank cold water, and I was impeached inexplicably and sent to prison.
Even if he is able to get out, his merit will be greatly reduced. Not to mention starting over, at least there is no chance to show off your ambitions.
Zhang Xiaosong is very accurate here, and he was impeached because of this time in history. However, the DPRK lacked strong support, so he was demoted to Lingzhou Bing Cao to join the army.
After five years in Lingzhou, he was promoted to the Beiting Protector, the Deputy Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and finally Taiyuan Yin, and later served as the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and died of illness.
It means that because of this impeachment, he wasted five years for no reason.
Zhang Xiaosong is almost fifty years old this year, how much time can be wasted in this life?
He looked at Zhang Jiuling and wanted to consult his friend.
Zhang Jiuling said with a smile: "This matter is related to Zhongshan's future, and it should be up to you to decide." I'm not afraid to tell the truth, originally because I didn't agree with Yao, I was excluded by him everywhere, I was angry, and I wanted to abandon my official position and return to my hometown. I came here to Pei Shuai to adjust my mood and add some experience in governing the world. But now I found out that they are all working for the imperial court, so what does it matter if they are not in the temple? Here in Pei Shuai, he can show what he has learned in his chest, if there is a problem, and he carries it, there is less unnecessary intrigue, more comfortable, and more fulfilling. ”
When Zhang Xiaosong heard this, he had made up his mind, sat up straight, and bowed: "Guogong does not dislike the body of being guilty of being punished, and is willing to serve Guogong in Hexi!" ”
