Chapter 175: The Battle of Wuwei (1)
"Am I going too far in this matter?" Li Wenyuan pushed the thick stack of execution lists in front of him in front of Qiu Niang and said.
"I've gone through each of these files, and everyone is guilty, as evidenced by my Night Stalker's line. Since the Law of the Western Regions was promulgated early on, and it is applicable to all territories under the general rule, it is equivalent to letting these people know what is illegal and what is legal. Now they don't know the depths themselves, and they have violated the forbidden area of the law, and they are also to blame, no wonder others. What's more, these people not only know the law and break the law, but also violently resist the law, which must be dealt with seriously, otherwise how can this "Western Regions Law" convince the public? What's more, among these people, they were all arrested and tried for committing various crimes, and no one was convicted of racial discrimination or excessive speech, and for the people of these newly conquered areas, we have given them the most lenient policies, and they have died themselves, and we can't stop them, right? Qiu Niang shrugged her shoulders and said.
"It's okay to kill it, and in the future, other people with intentions will take advantage of the hidden dangers of instability in our territory to deal with us." Li Wenyuan comforted himself.
"Report, there is an urgent report from Wuwei County!" A subordinate ran in in a hurry and handed over a bamboo tube containing intelligence to Qiu Niang, and then retreated.
Qiu Niang put the sealed asphalt on the fire and roasted it, then picked the softened asphalt from the middle section of the bamboo tube, and then disassembled the bamboo tube that was divided into two, took out the letter paper inside, spread it out and put it in front of him and looked at it and said: "Tuoba Shi Shu is a little breathless, he has launched the first tentative attack on Wuwei County, and it is estimated that this big battle on the eastern front cannot be avoided." ”
Li Wenyuan took the information from Qiu Niang's hand and looked at it and said: "It's all military information, what does Zhuang Fudi say?" ”
Qiu Niang shook her head and said with a smile: "Zhuang Fudi's official document is fashionable and still on the way."
Li Wenyuan secretly admired that the official document transmission system he is using now is inherited from the Sui Dynasty's fast horse delivery scheme, which should be said to be the fastest and most efficient transmission scheme so far, but even so, it is still much slower than the information transmission method developed by Qiu Niang herself.
Li Wenyuan immediately nodded and said, "Then do you night owls have any information about Wuwei County?" ”
"Wuwei County, let me take a look." Qiu Niang rummaged through the table, and then took out a somewhat crumpled piece of paper, handed it to Li Wenyuan, and said, "No, this is it." ”
Li Wenyuan flattened the paper in Qiu Niang's hand and looked at it, what was written on it was nothing more than that Zhuang Fudi had turned Wuwei County into a large fortress and labyrinth, so at this time, although the army in Zhuang Fudi's hands was less than the Eastern Turk and Liang coalition forces opposite, there was still a fight, and Zhuang Fudi seemed to have the intention of taking the initiative to attack the Eastern Turks and the Liang alliance.
Li Wenyuan put the information aside and stopped looking at it, and said to Qiu Niang: "Tuoba Shishu still doesn't start? Can he bear it so much? ”
"Tuoba Shishu has not waited for the opportunity, if he says that he will withdraw the army now, Shibi Khan will definitely be the first to not agree, although Shibi Khan has now been set up by Tuoba Shishu, but after all, he is still the Great Khan on the grassland, his words still have a certain deterrent, I believe that as long as Shibi Khan stands up and says that he does not agree to withdraw the army, then Tuoba Shishu is also helpless.
Moreover, since Tuoba Shishu planned to usurp the position of the Khan by himself, he would definitely attach great importance to his own prestige, and he would definitely not be able to accept the blow of prestige brought by a defeat if he was not justified, so he needed to let Shibi Khan bear the prestige blow brought by this defeat. Therefore, even though Shibi Khan has been terminally ill by the poison of Tuoba Shishu, and time is running out, he is still under the warmth of various nourishing things offered by Tuoba Shishu, and he has always hung his breath and not died. Qiu Niang said.
"If you look at it this way, the Eastern Turks still don't have any desire to fight? As long as we can inflict a great casualty on these Eastern Turks, they will slowly retreat? Li Wenyuan said.
"I don't know about this, I'm only responsible for intelligence, and I still have to ask you professionals to do the war." Qiu Niang knows very well what she should and shouldn't be proficient in as an intelligence officer, even in the face of the simultaneous traverser, she can't cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Sure enough, Li Wenyuan nodded and said: "Then tell Zhuang Fudi the action intention of the Eastern Turks Tuoba Shishu opposite, let him grasp the timing and strength of the attack, I don't care how he fights, just keep Wuwei County." Li Wenyuan said to Qiu Niang.
At this time, in Wuwei County, Zhuang Fudi simply moved his headquarters directly to Li Wen's county guard mansion, and a huge Wuwei County topographic fortification sand table was placed in the county guard mansion. Zhuang Fudi was roughly explaining some things about the entire Great Array to Li Wen, while pointing at the sand table.
At this time, a soldier outside walked in and said, "Staff Officer Zhuang, the Eastern Turkic and Liang allied forces on the opposite side have begun to attack. Then the soldier stepped forward and inserted a red temperament representing the enemy on the sand table and said:
"News from the scouts suggests that one of the most advanced enemy forces has arrived here, and is still thinking about our outer defenses."
Zhuang Fudi nodded and said to the soldiers: "Let the scout probe and report again." ”
The soldier answered, then turned and walked out. Zhuang Fudi said to Li Wen: "This time is the time to see the real chapter, whether our efforts for more than a month are useful or useless depends on this time." ”
Li Wen nodded and said: "I believe in the administrator's eyesight, and I also believe in your ability, we will definitely be able to defend Wuwei County and live up to the high expectations of the governor if we work together this time." I don't know anything about military affairs, so the command and coordination of the entire war should be handled by you, Staff Officer Zhuang, and I will still assist your army in the civil aspect. ”
Zhuang Fudi said: "This time it will be a tough battle, we will fight hard to defeat the Eastern Turks and the Liang allied forces; Either the unexpected happens, leading to another unexpected outcome. However, everything must be prepared for the worst, once the outer defense line is broken through by the enemy, then Lord Li must seize the time to transfer all the people to the west to Zhangye County as soon as possible, and I will personally lead the army to cut off the rear for you. ”
