6. Enwei is two-faced
After Gao Yue appeased his father, he asked the people in the Xiongqi army who knew geography, and referred to the "Shiyi Fan Road Map" drawn by Jia Tan, and then ordered to set up a transfer yard in Jiangli County, Wuzhou, and entrusted Wei Ping to supply grain and grass to the army.
Then Gao Yue said that we are in the area between the South West Road and the East Road, cooperate with Wei Gao Xichuan soldiers, and make a good fuss!
Gao Yue's troops were divided into three routes:
Gao Gudu led the main force of the military army, from Wuzhou to the south, attacked Fuzhou Hongya Pass, Heishui Fort, and then took the Tong River, from the northeast into Songzhou, which was occupied by Xifan;
Zhang Jing led the main force of the Yining army, from Wuzhou to the southeast into Longzhou, taking the old road of Gaoyue with Li Sheng to break the Xifan, but the direction was different, the army went up along the Fushui, crossed the river and went straight to Pingwu, and then entered the Songzhou occupied by the Xifan from the southwest;
There is also a road, that is, Ye Shiliangbi, Si Bo Daye and other Baoyi army Qiang cavalry a total of 10,000, directly tracing the Bailongjiang River (Qiangshui) to the west, a line to take the peak of the state, and then drive directly to the Hechuan of Diezhou, knocking on the hinterland of the Qinghai Road and the East Road in the west.
Gao Yue himself sat in Jiangli County, Wuzhou, and drew 500 soldiers from each of the Dingwu and Yining armies to defend himself and the newly established transfer yard.
Soon Lizhou brought a large amount of rice, grain and grass, as well as a lot of goods.
In the old city god temple of Jiangli County, many Qianghu chiefs of Wu, Tang, Fu and Wenzhou are dressed in sheepskin clothes, and there are many female chiefs who wear loose hair, decorated with golden flowers and seers, all of whom worship under Gao Yue who stands on the steps, holding local local products in their hands, such as angelica, Qianghuo, etc., to be dedicated to Gao Yue.
Gao Yue politely said that he would not accept it (there are countless herb farms in the mountains of Xingyuan Mansion, and all of them are trafficked to the eastern prefectures and counties in the whole boat, who is rare), and then he said earnestly to the chiefs:
"You are all Xiqiang and Nanqiang, Ben Jiang surnamed another branch, and was later exiled by Emperor Shun to Sanwei Mountain in Shazhou, from the Xizhi to the head of the river thousands of miles of land, is where your ancestors are. Later, it was divided into three branches, one with the yak as the totem, that is, now the Yue Qiang; There is another one with the white horse as the totem, that is, the current Guangyuan Qiang; There is another one with the three wolves as the totem, that is, now Wudu Qiang - you are all descendants of Wudu Qiang, and then enslaved by Xifan, and many times drove you and others to invade the Tang Dynasty as the former army, and the children were killed and injured countless times, and the burden was extremely heavy. Now this way by the order of the Son of Heaven, to save you is equivalent to hanging upside down, this Wuzhou is the ancient military capital, now set up a military market on the side of the transfer yard, you can transport grain and wheat at any time, drive cattle and sheep to trade here, the trade is absolutely fair and undeceived; In addition, you can also ride a horse and hold a bow, follow our Tang army to fight, and divide a share of the spoils to you, how about it? ”
This group of Qianghu chiefs didn't particularly understand Gao Yue's words, so they all knelt down in place, stunned.
So Gao Yue thought that he didn't need to "go through the ages" to these people, so he changed his tone and went straight to the point: "Give you a farewell, gold and silver medals and hats, you will all be officials of the Tang Dynasty, and then come to this city to sell things, cattle, sheep and horses, angelica, Qianghuo, and gold; Besides, you can also follow my army of the Tang Dynasty to fight Xifan, and give you a share of the women, girls, livestock, and grain that you have robbed, understand? ”
"I understand, I understand!" At this time, the male and female chiefs suddenly nodded, isn't it just that they can get the official hat given by Tang Tianzi, and they can trade, and they can also follow Tang Bing to grab money and girls to grab land, when it comes to this, everyone is not confused.
Gao Yue did what he said, and he quickly asked the soldiers and tooth soldiers to bring all kinds of good things out of the warehouse in the transfer yard - first, they were all kinds of farewells, and Gao Yue solemnly awarded them one by one.
"Where's the hat, where's the hat?" The chiefs were anxious.
Gao Yue felt that this group of barbarians was really a barbarian, and they didn't care about the words on the body and the imperial sun shadow written by the emperor himself, so they wanted more direct hats, court clothes or something, there was no sense of ritual at all, and each of them was crowned, but he complained in his heart: Gao Yue quickly took out his head and robes and put them on for this group of chiefs.
Suddenly, the courtyard became lively, and these Qiang Hu crookedly wore hats or hats, and obliquely pulled and wore crimson and cyan court clothes, and they were about to bow to Gao Yue. Gao Yue said that this was not given to you by me, but by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, so everyone turned to the northeast with Ji Gong and pious to the place where the Son of Heaven was.
Then they gave seeds, ploughing cattle, cotton cloth, and large quantities of land to buy the local Qiang, and these things were also the most popular among them.
Of course, Gao Yue also knows that this group of Wudu Qiang "two-faced" is very strong, since the early Tang Dynasty, it has been rebelling from time to time, and the state affairs everywhere are also in ruins, when Xifan annexed Weisong until Mao and Longhou, Qianghu has repeatedly served as an accomplice of Xifan, and is the vanguard of the invasion of the Jiannan and Shannan regions of the Tang family.
So after the canonization ceremony was completed, Gao Yue invited the chiefs to the camp outside Wuzhou City to watch the Tang army's drills of firing cannons and casting thunderbolts.
I saw that along the edge of the Bailong River, the masts of the small "two hundred hundred" ships were like forests, all of which were requisitioned from Xingyuan Lizhou and Dongxichuan, and a high platform outside the river beach was where the Gaoyue tent was located.
Under the Luo umbrella given by the emperor, Gao Yue in purple shirt sat upright on the horse, and the chiefs stood on the left and right in disbelief, not knowing how the current Tang army was different from the previous one.
Until the thunderous cannon sound rose on the ground, and the sachet hanging from the Zhendeluo umbrella shook wildly, the Qianghu chieftains only felt that the ground under their feet was rapidly rising and trembling, which was no different from the feeling of an earthquake, many people immediately stumbled and sat on the ground, and more of them stared at the mouth of a large bronze cannon of the Tang army (Gao Yue deliberately left the door in Wuzhou City) to spew out a burst of lightning, and then a burning red cannonball swept through the air, flew straight and hit a distant earthen wall, and then easily crushed it.
Before they could come to their senses, the gunners of the three rows of Dingwu Army practiced the tactics of shooting with the thunder and thunder guns again, only to see bullets rain out, gunpowder smoke was endless, and the target posts thirty paces away were scattered and shattered.
The faces of the male and female chiefs of the "......" group were covered with beads of sweat.
Gao Yue laughed and got up, touched his beard, and said slyly and majestically: "The junior has brought twenty such cannons to Heishui Fort and Pingwu City, hoping to help the battle against the fortifications. However, it is up to you to lead the way, spy on you, and help in the battle. ”
"I'll wait to follow Ji (Dad) and Gong (Dad)." This group of Wudu Qiang chieftains was immediately deeply persuaded by the truth in the mouth of the cannon and the god thunder, and they all sweated and trembled, and once again their feet weakened, and they knelt down in front of Gao Yue's knees.
