20. Ma Chongying long drive

Then the two of them stood on the towering pavilion road, overlooking the rugged river valley mountain range in the north of Xingzhou, Gao Yue let out a long howl, pointed to the direction of Qingniling and said:

"Chengwu, now Feng, Xing two states handed over to me, the junction of the two states of the river pool, Changju, the terrain is steep, the river valley is vertical and horizontal, conducive to the foot soldiers to control the ambush, not conducive to the cavalry brigade gallop, is my Tang use of force, its west control of the West Han water into Longyou, southeast control Pavilion Road into Shu, Hanzhong, northeast control of Chencang Road, so Daochuan out of the pass into Fengxiang, Jinggi, to rush the status is not under Longshan, if this expedition can return safely, I will build another military city fortress in Hechi County in the coming year, highlight the base, threaten the flank of Xifan, after this military city, I moved the Baicao Army camp to Luoyang, responded to the Hechi Military City, and set up another camp in Fengzhou City, so that the three-legged stand is very stable. Every autumn month Xifan comes, I go in reverse, as the so-called Kou can go to me can also go - from Xingzhou, you can attack Fu and Wen Erzhou along Baishui (Bailongjiang), you can attack Wuzhou along Qiangshui, you can also go straight to Di Dao along the Western Han River, attack Tonggu, Qiuchi, and go straight to Qinzhou, and you can also support Fengxiang and Jingyuan along Chencang Road to prevent autumn, and you will definitely fight Longyou in Xifan. ”

"It's a very good strategy, but it requires a lot of light riding."

Gao Yue smiled confidently and said to Wei Gao that when we were so poor and white in Jingyuan, we could both pull up a cavalry team of 2,000 people, and now we each have the military power of a town, and it is naturally not a problem to get war horses.

"That's good, I, Dongchuan, will respond to Yisong at any time, and let Shang Jiezan know the names of my Tang Weigao and Gao Yue!"

With great ambition, Gao Yue after separating from Wei Gao, after meeting Guo Zaizhen in Luoyang City, then crossed the Qingni Ridge, traveled fifty miles to Changju County in the north of Xingzhou, from Changju County to Hechi County in Fengzhou, along the high cliffs along the road, the soldiers and horses all traveled the pavilion road, and after a full 3,399 pavilion roads, they arrived at Hechi, and then camped in Liangdang County.

A few days later, all the White Grass Army passed through Fengzhou and entered Fengxiang Mansion, Duan Xiushi personally rode a horse to greet him, and then told Gao Yue a very shocking news:

Sure enough, as Wei Gao expected, tens of thousands of soldiers from Xifan took Yuanzhou, poured into Anle Prefecture, and defeated 20,000 soldiers and horses of Kang Rizhi who came to defend at Mingsha, Kang Rizhi led the defeated troops back to Lingwu, and the Xifan Iron Cavalry then rammed the area between Lingwu and Jingyuan, and broke the square canal, "chiseled through" the defense line of the old Great Wall, and approached the city of Yanzhou.

Yanzhou City, that is, Wuyuan City.

If Yanzhou is lost, then the soldiers and horses of Xifan will really occupy the starting point of Baiyu Mountain as Wei Gao guessed, and then Xifan can be able to attack Xia, Sui, and Yinzhu Prefectures north of Baiyu Mountain, or turn to the south, knock through Qinggang Ridge, cross Gyeongju along the Maling River, and go straight to the gateway of the Beijing Division!

"Why was Kang Rizhi defeated?" Gao Yue still had doubts about this.

Duan Xiushi explained: Shang Jiezan is very treacherous, he led a 30,000-strong Xifan army all the way, out of Longshan, first attacked Longzhou Wangyang, after seeing that I was prepared, he passed through the Huangshan River Valley, forced Liangyuan, Baili, Xing Junya, the general of the right army of the right battalion of Shence, with 15,000 elites from Lingtai, looking for Shang Jiezan for a decisive battle, and Shang Jiezan quickly retreated to the Huating area, avoiding my edge - they occupy Longshan, they can attack and retreat, they can be defended, come and go freely.

Sure enough, a few days later, Shang Jiezan led the army to bypass Liangyuan and other places, turned over the Qingshi Ridge, and suddenly attacked Lianyunbao, the gateway to the west of Jingzhou, and sent a large number of cavalry to cut off the connection between Lianyunbao and Jingzhou City.

But at the same time, at the Yuanzhou of the northern line, Shang Jiezan's deputy general Xu Li had already completed the assembly of 30,000 troops in the sand castle.

And at this time, the northern marshal Enlan, who received the golden arrow of Trisong Dezan. Dazaru Gong immediately announced the "Great Material Collection" in Hexi Prefectures, which is the "Ma Chongying" in the Han history books, and is the planner and implementer of the "capture of Longyou and go straight to Chang'an" (762 AD). Trisong Detsen once erected a monument for him, boasting of this person's martial arts and saying:

"Enlan. Dazaru is loyal, resourceful, and heroic...... The Tang people were shocked by the fact that they seized the population, head and territory from the Tang Dynasty...... It was the first to advocate the mobilization of troops into the Tang Dynasty and the deep discussion of the Beijing Division. Zampu to Shang Chen, Ye Xi Shutong, Enlan. Dazaru Gong and the two were the commanders of the Beijing Division, and they went straight to the Beijing Division, and fought with the Tang soldiers on the shore of the Zhouwu Ferry. King Guangping (Emperor Daizong) left from Beijing, escaped to Shaanzhou, and Jingshi fell. ”

Now this Ma Chongying is a spicy veteran, after getting the golden arrow, immediately from Hexi a Xifan ten thousand households, and then chased a Tuguhun ten thousand households, a Shatuo ten thousand households, each with a dependent Xifan chieftain Xiao Wang command, a total of 30,000 soldiers, each light armor fast horse, not carrying baggage, from the Liangzhou governor to drive thousands of miles, at the foot of Helan Mountain, the Great Wall, across the White Mountain, at the city of Wulan to cross the Yellow River, into the state of Huining, and then get a simple supply, to Yuanzhou to destroy the sand castle, God speed and Xu Li's troops to meetβ€”β€” Then Xu Li ceded the command to Ma Chongying.

Lingwu Mingsha, Ma Chongying let Xu Li lead 10,000 soldiers to provoke, Kang Rizhi's Lingwu soldiers came to respond to the battle, Ma Chongying beat the drum, Xifan, Shatuo, Tugu Hun Jing cavalry suddenly rose, three bread copied and attacked, Kang Rizhi was defeated and fled back to Lingwu City.

Then 60,000 soldiers and horses from Xifan rushed straight to Wuyuan City in Yanzhou like a whirlwind.

"Then is the siege of Lianyunbao in Jingzhou now lifted?" Gao Yue hurriedly asked Duan Xiushi.

Duan Xiushi nodded, but shook his head again, and said As soon as Xing Junya and I arrived at Lianyun Castle, Shang Jiezan pulled the team and retreated to the Qingshi Ridge.

"Duan Gong, Xifan is just a virtual soldier on this road in Longshan, and the key point to be attacked is Yanzhou!" Gao Yue said.

"But even if it's a virtual soldier, Feng Xiang and Jing Yuan have to deal with it!"

Gao Yue thought about it, so he suggested Duan Xiushi and said: "If Ma Chongying instigates the party clans of Nanshan, Dongshan, Liufu, Pingxia, and Lishi, and entrenches themselves in Baiyu Mountain, and then rushes straight to Suining or Weibei, it will be terrible!" Gao Chongwen, the general of the left army in the right battalion of Shence, led 20,000 troops to Suining to assist Han Yougui in strengthening his defenses. And Duan Gong can choose an elite among Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Shence Xingjunya, and my Baicao army, and take it by surprise, cut off the legs with long legs, and cut off the hands with long hands, and we will hit Xifan's legs and shins, forcing them to retreat! ”

This is what Wei Gao said, blocking tactics.

"Personnel?" Duan Xiushi's words were a little embarrassed, meaning that he might not be able to command Xing Junya's teeth.

Gao Yue said that Duan Gong should not worry, it is all wrapped up in me.

Then Gao Yue summoned Su Yan, a shogunate official, and asked him if he was confident that he could write a good negotiation document.

Su Yan said yes (my talent, I have been immersed in the national prison for so many years, and now it can finally come in handy!) )。

"Please write two documents immediately, one to Xing Junya, the general of the right army of the Shence Army, and ask him for assistance in the name of Li Linggong, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu (Xing Junya and Li Sheng have a good relationship); A letter was sent to Tan Zhizhong, the supervisor of the right battalion, in the name of my Xingyuan Shaoyin and Duan Taiwei Fengxiang Yin, asking him to deploy all kinds of soldiers and horses to rescue. ”

Su Yan waved his pen, and the two documents were completed in a moment!
