Chapter 465: When the Conspiracy is in Progress
Shelong is not Zhao Zilong, so he doesn't have the ability to kill seven in and seven out among the ten thousand armies.
After escaping, his physical strength decreased more and more, and the originally invincible Uzi steel war knife could not easily approve the weapons in the hands of the barbarians.
I don't know how long he fled, but he finally fell backwards under Zhang Cheng's heavy knife.
It wasn't that Zhang Cheng's knife could chop him to the ground, but that he tripped over a stone under his feet.
Then, the whirring wind sounded in Shelong's ears, in the darkness, he couldn't see his state clearly, only knew that the war knife was out of his hand, and the sound of several rib breaks was so harsh, the pain almost made him faint in pain, this is not the end, all kinds of dead branches, the skin and flesh on his body are hot and painful, and the handsome military uniform is afraid that it has been scraped to pieces.
"Poof!"
The sound of a heavy object falling into the water sounded, and Sheron completely lost consciousness.
A team as large as he led would definitely choose a place with a water source to rest and feed the livestock, as well as cook on a fire, and it just so happened that this time, he chose to camp by a river, so now, the surging river washed away his body.
"That's fine, lest I feel uncomfortable when I kill you."
Zhang Cheng muttered to himself in a low voice, and gradually hid his body behind the darkness, according to the plan, he had to take the lead and report the situation here to Xiao, as for these barbarian tribes who were provoked by him to kill Shelong, the next step, they themselves would rush to the territory of Meng Shezhao and expand the results of the battle, but it was more likely that they would face the crazy revenge of the Tang army.
Three days later, when all the fierce fire oil that Wang Hao had prepared in Goguryeo in advance was transported to the city of Yanjin, Zhang Cheng arrived at the city of Yizhou.
"Lord Xiao, the barbarians in Yunnan rebelled, the leaders of the various departments led the army to raise more than 100,000 troops, and suddenly launched an attack on General Shelong's convoy, Mengshe's edict was killed, and General Shelong fell, at this moment, they should have killed Mengshezhao's habitat, the people of the Bai nationality are in danger, and the Tang army soldiers who guard the minerals are in danger."
Zhang Cheng, who was covered in blood, told Xiao this information in a half-crying voice, Xiao was stunned.
This happened too suddenly, and in his mind, the copper mine that is constantly whirling now, Tang Jun has a few words.
"Come on, quickly invite General Chai to the governor's mansion to discuss matters"
In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this matter, Chai Shao, it is impossible to let 10,000 subordinate brothers not save them in Yunnan.
Xiao, and did not allow the Yunnan tribes to unite against the Tang Dynasty, the interests involved were too great, taking advantage of the fact that the Bai tribe had not been defeated by the allied forces of the tribes, and quickly sent troops to quell the rebellion and rescue, then, the situation in Yunnan, there is still room for redemption.
Since they had to send troops, both economically and morally, they could only discuss how to send troops.
Now the problem comes, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shu, and 10,000 have fallen in Yunnan, and the rebels are as many as 100,000, and there are fewer to go, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
It only took half a day for Xiao and Chai Shao to agree on sending troops, and in this half a day, there were escaped Mengshe Zhao soldiers one after another to report the news, which made Xiao more sure of the situation in Yunnan.
Early the next morning, Chai Shao's military order to recruit and transfer 35,000 troops stationed in Shuzhong to go to Yunnan was issued, and a day later, the garrisons of various passes and crossings in Shuzhong were empty.
Three days later, on the plateau, Wang Lin, who had been depressed and had been drinking for a long time, finally received the news.
"Childe, good news."
Wang Lin, whose eyes were full of drunkenness, was shouted by the old servant Wang Zhi, and he was shocked by the shouting.
"The good news, on this plateau, the best news is just how much wine and meat and cloth produced by the Tang Dynasty have been rewarded by Songtsan Gampo! Ben Gongzi, is there a lack of these? ”
Since Li Shimin sent Li Ji and Niu Jinda to attack Tuyuhun and the party departments, and sent a large army to garrison Songzhou on the border between Shuzhong and Tubo, Wang Lin knew that Li Shimin had been on guard against Tubo for a long time, and his earth-shattering plan was useless, so his will was terrible to be depressed.
At this time, Lu Dongzan also failed because of his series of plans, and drummed Songtsen Gampo to empty his power, making his Tibet Plateau completely degenerate into a parasite who only knows how to drink wine and eat meat.
"No, childe, this time, there is really good news, the barbarians in Yunnan rebelled, raised more than 100,000 troops, killed the leader of Mengshe Zhao Shelong, and besieged 10,000 Tang troops who organized mining in Yunnan, besieged over there, Chai Shao three days ago, sent an army of more than 35,000 to Yunnan to rescue, now, the defenders of Songzhou City are only 5,000 people, and there are almost no people in Shuzhong to the various passes in the direction of Guanzhong."
"What, what? What you say is true? ”
Wang Lin, who was in a drunken state, didn't know where the strength burst out, and he grabbed Wang Zhi's two arms painfully.
"Childe, it's true!"
Hearing the four words that are true, Wang Lin's cloudy eyes finally showed ecstasy.
"Hahahaha, God help me, God help me, hurry, change clothes, I'm going to see Zampu, Lu Dong praises you villain, I didn't expect it! Ben Gongzi's plan also has a chance to succeed"
Wang Lin quickly put on his robe as the right minister of Tubo and walked towards the king tent of Songtsan Gampo, but Wang Zhi, but behind him, showed a sinister smile, and said secretly in his heart, "Heaven can't help you, only Hao Gongzi can help you." ”
The sun shines in early autumn, it is a good time to do business, the commodity fair in Weinan is on fire, a colorful glazed Buddha statue, actually sold at a price of 10,000 yuan, a two-foot-high pure transparent glass Buddha statue, attracted dozens of Tianzhu merchants to rush to buy, the price exceeded 30,000 guan, the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers who came to the scene, the laughing eyes can not be seen, you know, the cost of these things, not even three hundred Wen, if it is not for the manager who is responsible for operating the glaze factory to tell them, rare is expensive, such goods every year in the future, can only sell a few pieces, it is estimated that they can rely on these glass products, all the national merchants who believe in Buddhism to loot out.
Of course, similar valuable goods, but not only Buddha statues, like the merchants of the Treasure Elephant Country, need a three-foot-high glazed elephant, the merchants of the Tianshi Kingdom need a sphinx as big as possible, for this reason, the manager of the glaze factory is very embarrassed to tell them, the glaze is natural, want to get them to make the shape of the thing, although it is possible, but it is very difficult, the factory may need to invest a very large capital cost, so, the businessmen of these two countries, decisively paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, only hope that the glaze factory, They can make something that represents the totem of their country.
When Gao Sheng got the news, the corners of his mouth twitched, however, his task is only to ensure that all the transactions of this trade fair are what you and I want, and both parties to the transaction can pay taxes in accordance with the regulations, just one trading day, and the statistics are a little scary, the transaction volume exceeds three million guan, and the imperial court has successfully recorded 100,000 yuan in taxes.
Moreover, the transaction on the second day was still good, but businessmen from all over the world began to inquire about how to borrow goods, at this time, the Hu businessmen who had purchased Datang treasury bonds and had already obtained Datang household registration had an advantage, and the most unlucky, Hu businessmen who had a record of borrowing and repayment could also obtain a lot of loans, as for those businessmen whose credit belonged to the tabula rasa level, the goods that could be borrowed were quite limited.
Then, the yamen in charge of managing household registration in Weinan began to be overcrowded, and businessmen from all over the world rushed to join the Tang nationality, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others urgently discussed and introduced a series of policies.
First of all, to join the nationality, you need to have a house in your country, and then, you need to pay a certain amount of naturalization fees, and, promise, abide by the laws of Datang, according to the tax system of Datang, pay all the taxes that should be paid, etc., but many left-behind courtiers are busy.
To a certain extent, mastering the world's businessmen will control the world's economy, and Datang has taken a big step towards mastering the world economy.
Outside the city of Yanjin, Li Shimin in the military tent did not know what was happening in Yunnan and Guanzhong, and today, some new situations appeared in the city of Yanjin, and he heard the sound of the drums of gathering troops from inside the city wall, and at the same time, the soldiers in the entire Tang army camp were also busy, wearing armor and holding swords, making preparations before the battle.
"Yuangai Suwen finally can't help it, I don't know what his motley army will be like when he fights my ironclad army head-on."
Li Shimin, who is dressed in armor and uniform, will always unconsciously shake the horse lance that has accompanied him through countless battles today, and between his words, his eyes have already looked at Li Jing, although he is the absolute commander of the road army, but for the tactical response on the battle array, this is an expert.
"Your Majesty, if you fight head-on, our army only needs to break the formation with heavy cavalry, and then the heavy infantry will cover and kill, and then there will be all kinds of chariots behind to shoot the enemy's position, and then we can make them out of the city, and there will be no return."
Li Jing quickly made tactical suggestions, and when the generals heard this, they also nodded in agreement.
Outside the city of Yanjin, it is a flat land, which is suitable for large-scale heavy cavalry to charge the formation, the Tang army is equipped with iron armor, and is not afraid of white-knuckle warfare at all, all kinds of crossbow carts, catapults, bed ballista carts, can completely suppress the enemy's position, avoid the whole army from falling into the situation of being surrounded.
Of course, even if the Tang army wanted to be surrounded, Yuangai Suwen might not dare to spread out all his army to besiege the Tang army, because, without the terrain to complement it, the Goguryeo soldiers who surrounded the Tang army with all kinds of weapons that could not break through the armor of the Tang army were easy to be killed by the Tang army.
The number of Tang troops is as many as 100,000, and one person only needs to kill seven or eight people, and the Goguryeo coalition army in Yanjin City may be wiped out.
"Who can charge for the vanguard?"
"The minister recommended Xue Li, the cavalry captain of the right guard of the Anbei Army." Su Dingfang almost did not hesitate to go out of class and play.
"Xue Li? Last year's horse battle champion of Shanyang Dabi, has he been promoted to the rank of cavalry captain? Li Shimin had some images of this Xue Li and asked.
"Exactly, this person's riding and archery skills are a must in the Anbei army, and in the previous battles, there were as many as 100 officers above the Goguryeo centurion who died in his hands."
"Such a fierce general, it should be for our army to charge into battle and boost morale, order, Xue Li is the vanguard general of the heavy cavalry, and Shi Chengming, the governor of Guanzhou, is the deputy of Shi Mingzhen, and the two of them lead five thousand heavy cavalry to impact the enemy formation."
"No, the minister will go and set up the formation." Su Dingfang marched and saluted.
Xue Li is the lieutenant general of the Anbei Army, Li Shimin ordered his general, then this head formation, the Anbei Army will fight, Su Dingfang, as the commander of the Anbei Army, naturally obtained the command of the battle, and next, the army will act according to his order flag.
When the Tang Army's big tent was making arrangements for the upcoming battle, on the other side of Yanjin City, in the dense mountains and forests, Zhang Gongjin was also on a high place, nervously watching the situation in the city with a telescope.
He also heard the drums of the troops gathering in the city, and the large-scale war of hundreds of thousands of people, the three or four thousand people around him did not have much impact at all, but he found something strange through observation.
Obviously, it is going to gather troops for a big battle, why, on the side of the southern city gate, there will be a large number of Goguryeo soldiers pouring out, and they are carrying heavy supplies.
It's a pity that the north and south gates of Yanjin City are flat wilderness, and on the left and right sides, there are mountains and forests and cliffs, and if you want to go to the Tang Army camp from their direction, you must either climb over the cliff, otherwise, you must pass through the city, the reason why the cliff is a cliff is because it is so steep that you can't climb it, and now, the big battle in front of the north gate is about to break out, and it is almost impossible for them to pass through, but they can't spread the news to the army.
Zhao Long also looked at the surrounding terrain for a long time, and then suggested to Zhang Gongjin, "Zou Gong, why don't we rob some of them and come down and ask, what is the situation in the city?" ”
"There is a steady stream of troops coming out of the city, and as soon as we go out, we are afraid that we will fall into battle." Zhang Gongjin said with a frown.
"Don't be afraid, there is a forest, we can get out, I will personally take eight hundred veterans down, and you will lead the rest of the people to set up an ambush at Linkou to respond."
"In this way, there will be labor."
Zhang Gongjin wanted to figure out the situation in Yanjin City too much, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded.
"Then please ask Duke Zou to set up an ambush here, old brothers, come with me."
Zhao Long shouted at Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang and others, then pulled down his face armor, and led everyone to run towards the mountains and forests with a snort, just now, he had already set his sights on a target, a guy in a scribe's robe, he was surrounded by several people and hurried, and his status should not be low.
