3. Give money in equal portions
Immediately, Gao Chongwen, Luo Yuanguang and Kang Rizhi and other generals understood. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
Why did Gao Yue suddenly lead the main force to Yanzhou Wuyuan? It is because he thinks that it is not worth it to storm Luzi Pass in the northwest of Yanzhou, Gao Yue is a person who has read Taizu's anthology, although he cannot charge and gallop like a brave general, but he can always grasp the three magic weapons in general:
Political struggles were far more important than military struggles, so he constantly plotted against the servant peoples in Western Tibet, such as Tuyuhun and Shatuo;
Do a good job in base areas and military construction, so he vigorously operated agricultural businesses in Xingyuan and Fengxiang, ate enough soldiers, improved armaments, and set up workshops;
There is another point, that is, let the enemy be as dispersed as possible, and the more concentrated he is, the better, so after he pressed the Liufu Party to the east to go to the Dali River and Xiaoli River, he let Hun Yang be a virtual soldier, contain Luzi Pass, create a false impression to deceive Prince Nixiang and Tuoba Zhaohui, and he took advantage of the Tang Jiayi Road, intelligence, and military system, and led the army out of the Qingzhou Road with Thunder and Resoluteness, rushed to Yanzhou and Gao Chongwen and Kang Rizhi Division, seized the fighters, gathered 30,000 elites, first broke through the Liuboling defense line, and then seized all the passes on the west side of Baiyu Mountain. Let its natural danger no longer cause any obstacles to the Tang Army.
"Once the Pingxia party is forced back to Tongwancheng, and the troops and horses of Li Jingluo and Han Tan in the northeast recapture Yinzhou, the entire party will be divided into two areas that do not rely on each other in the north and south of Baiyu Mountain, and they will be destroyed in turn, and they can reap the full credit!" Gao Yue pointed to the map and asked Ye Shiliangbi, who came from his entourage and was familiar with the geography of the party, to mark the passage and the key points on it in turn.
"Then without further ado, while the wind and snow have not yet arrived, our army can concentrate the main force to storm Liuboling." Gao Chongwen immediately asked for battle.
Gao Yue raised his hand with a smile and said that there was no need to worry, the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army immediately came here to join the camp, and temporarily stopped fighting and waiting for the opportunity.
"Wait, but the weather?" Gao Chongwen and Kang Rizhi were still a little confused.
"That's right, I'm waiting for the windy and snowy weather." Gao Yue was calm and relaxed.
At this time, outside the tent, the two brothers Gao Jingfeng and Gao Jingyang heard this, and they also felt that this Qihou used troops to be really mysterious, not to enter the army on a sunny day, but to wait for the heavy wind and snow, it was really unpredictable.
The black Wei Daotian was full of commonplace appearance, squatting by the campfire, catching lice in the collar, he had slowly adapted to the cold climate of the borderland, and every time he caught lice, he threw them into the fire, burning so that the crackling sound was endless.
Day by day, it was getting cold, and the water transportation of Feng'an Military City was going to send the last batch of ships to Lingwu City.
The emperor is in the Daming Palace, and the money from the inner treasury has to be sent to the Shenwei army in the Jingshi, the patrol army, and the Shence army outside, which is a necessary expenditure every year, and it is necessary for the emperor to obtain the loyalty of the forbidden army.
Ban Hongxian, the prime minister of the Duzhi Division, made a preliminary calculation, believing that the entire Shence army in western Beijing, including Liu Haibin's Weirong army, a total of 25,000, Xing Junya's Xuanwei army, and 20,000 Gao Chongwen Shence decisive troops in Yanzhou and Gyeongzhou, a total of 70,000 troops - the emperor needs to distribute a total of 700,000 winter clothes and silk cloths, and the emperor will also spend 700,000 yuan on this batch of Shence troops for the "Winter Solstice Festival".
At this year's winter solstice Hanyuan Hall court meeting, the emperor thought that the soldiers in the northwest and north to fight against the rebels were still exposed to the snow, and I had no intention of celebrating, so it was canceled.
Of course, this money, Ban Hong is just providing a calculation, because it comes from Daying, Qionglin Neiku, and the specific affairs are all handled by the eunuch Huo Zhongtang - but Ban Hong also proposed that His Majesty that this winter clothes and festival money happen to go west to Jingyuan, and after being distributed to the two armies of Weirong and Xuanwei, the others can be directly used as light goods, loaded in the water post ships of Feng'an Military City, transported to Lingwu City, and then issued to Gao Chongwen's Shence Decisive Army, if so, it can save a lot of foot money.
The emperor said yes.
Plugging the famous city of Lingwu, the majestic Yellow River adjacent to the city passes gently, has begun to be mixed with the cold ice of winter, the merchants, soldiers and people in the city side market are thundering, welcoming the arrival of the last Feng'an fleet this year, the next time can only wait for March of the next year, during which four months is the ice period of the Yellow River - the entire Lingwu City must be prepared to defend against the invasion of nomads from the glacier.
"The Xifan soldiers are here!" I don't know who exclaimed, and then the whole market went into chaos.
In the shallow water where the ship docked, a large number of war horses trekked up, and then there were soldiers dressed in Xifan style armor, obviously with the appearance of Hu people, who also wore swords and bows, and fished down from the boat.
At this time, a city official who was squatting on the wall at the edge of the market shouted goodbye, this is the city side of my Tang family.
That's right, this group of troops is the newly attached Shatuo and Tuyuhun cavalry.
Ten days later, the news of the large-scale assembly of the Tang army in Liuboling spread to Tongwan City, leaving the six gods of Yuanhui without an owner.
Because the Tang army also assembled on a large scale in front of the Luzi Pass in Jinming Road.
Is the direction of the Tang Army's main attack in Luzi in the south of the mountain, or in the Liuboling in the north of the mountain?
Yuan Hui couldn't judge.
At the same time, the emperor gave the winter clothes and silk cloth and money to the Shence decisive army, and also went to the camp in Wuyuan.
Out of respect for Gao Yue, the marquis of Qi, the decisive commander Shi handed over the deed of 3,000 fine silk cloths to Gao Yue's desk.
This is a common practice: the money and silk given by the emperor must be shrunk in the hands of the soldiers, and one or two percent is to return to the festival envoys and military envoys, that is to say, 700,000 pieces of cloth, Gao Chongwen and Luo Yuanguang will take 70,000 horses, and they will also account for 70,000 yuan as for the festival money.
But now that Gao Yue is sitting here, out of respect for Gao Chongwen, he didn't dare to monopolize this share, so he asked Changshi to offer 3,000 pieces of silk, and said that what I Gao Chongwen occupied, I didn't have to swallow it alone, and most of it would also be given to the military academy.
Gao Yue was a little stunned, so he asked what the situation was in the history of the decisive army.
After asking, Gao Yue didn't say anything, and let Changshi leave.
At dusk, Gao Chongwen and Luo Yuanguang were shocked, "Marquis Qi divided all the winter clothes and money given by the emperor to the other armies!?" ”
Changshi and Si Ge turned pale and could only nod.
When Gao Chongwen walked out of the tent, he found that the entire camp was boiling, and the Shence army was all indignant, and some were indignant, while the Shuofang army, the Dingwu army, and the Yining army were all cheering, all vying to get the goods, and shouting Long live the Holy Lord, and Qi Hou is a thousand years old.
"These silk cloths and money were given by the Holy Lord according to the usual practice, and they could only be distributed to the Divine Army, not the border army. The winter clothes and reward money of the border army were paid by the envoys of the military offices of each town. Gao Chongwen and Luo Yuanguang were quite annoyed at this time.
Before the results were settled, the camp was jubilant again.
As soon as he inquired, Gao Yue handed over the 3,000 horses of silk cloth he had obtained to the caravan on the other side of Lingwu City, and used them all to buy sheep, so that he could get rid of the whole sheep feast for the soldiers of all armies to eat before going into battle to kill the enemy.
