Chapter 294: Military Discussion

On March 29 of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong, the head of the Tang Army's Shanshan Dao march, broke Tugu Hun Fuyun in Kushan and killed nearly 10,000 enemies. Fu Yun was defeated, set fire to the wasteland, burned all the weeds, and led the remnants of the army into the moraine. Li Daozong stopped stupidly.

In this battle, the Tang army suffered more than 1,600 serious wounded and killed, and more than 2,800 were lightly wounded.

This figure does not include Jang Yunwen's reconnaissance battalion. Because the record office that counted the casualties wanted to go to the reconnaissance battalion to find out the situation, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the non-commissioned officers and refused to let him in. When I went back to talk to Li Daozong, Li Daozong smiled and said: "Forget it, you don't have to go, Zhang Yunwen will come over to report later!" ”

On the other hand, Zhang Yunwen was busy.

On a couch, a soldier with an arrow in his back was lying on the bed moaning, Zhang Yunwen carefully looked at the brown blood that flowed out of the arrow into the flesh and said softly: "Brother, grit your teeth and hold back, it'll be fine at once!" ”

With one hand, he grabbed the slightly reddened branding head next to him, and with the other hand, he pulled out the arrow violently, and put the branding head on the wound while the blood was gushing.

I only heard a "squeak" sound, and there was a smell of meat floating in the air.

The soldier bit the strip of cloth in his mouth, and at the moment when the head rested on the meat, he raised his head sharply and made a long "uh-huh" sound, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept dripping down his forehead. His legs trembled slightly.

The onlookers couldn't help but turn their heads to the side, and couldn't bear to look any further!

"Okay, the alcohol. Bandages! Zhang Yunwen threw away the branding head and arrows in his hand and said to the soldiers beside him.

After waiting for a while, seeing that these people did not move, someone asked in a low voice, "My lord, what are these alcohol and bandages?" ”

Zhang Yunwen was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and he said with a smile: "Just bring the wine you drink, as well as the usual cloth strips!" By the way, the strip of cloth should be two fingers wide, the longer the better, and it should be steamed in a pot before you can get here! Hmm, why are you still stunned, don't go yet! ”

The inquiring soldier smiled and said, "This cloth is easy to find, but this wine ......."

Before the soldier finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Yunwen: ", don't say you don't have any wine?" You guys, a bunch of authentic drunkards, where can you be short of alcohol! Go get it, I don't blame you for bringing wine into the barracks! ”

The soldiers sneered: "Chief, you really know us!" ”

A moment later the soldiers brought iron kettles containing wine. As for the bandage, because Zhang Yunwen had ordered it to be steamed, it was slow for a while.

Finally, after the wine and bandages were ready, Zhang Yunwen brought the wine to the tip of his nose, smelled it, and suddenly a pungent smell of wine came up: "Hehe, this is still a spirit, yes, it is a spirit!" ”

Carefully drip the wine on the wound of the soldier in the arrow, and then slowly rub it with your hands, while explaining the method of rubbing to the soldiers around you. I saw that these soldiers were all staring at the wine jug with their faces full of distress. But I do listen. After explaining the disinfection of the wine, he slowly bandaged the soldier with a bandage, and also explained the tricks of bandaging.

In the end, Zhang Yunwen said: "In fact, these basic battlefield rescue methods should have been handed over to you a long time ago, but at that time, you had few injuries and minor injuries, so you forgot about it!" Remember, if anyone is injured in the future, you can follow this method of rescue! Well, by the way, if you have spirits, you don't need to use a brand! ”

As soon as Zhang Yunwen's voice fell, the soldier lying on the couch suddenly looked at him with an extremely resentful gaze.

When Li Yang finally counted the casualties of the reconnaissance battalion, Zhang Yunwen suddenly fell silent.

In this battle, the reconnaissance battalion suffered 57 casualties, more than 230 minor wounds, most of them arrow wounds, and 85 seriously wounded and disabled.

Seeing these figures, Zhang Yunwen's heart was not only self-blame, but also reflection. At this time, he is no longer the battalion commander in charge of hundreds of people, but the left guard general of the Tang Dynasty, and he needs to look at the problem from a strategic and overall perspective. This time, it is not a wise move to bring out all 3,000 people, if it is ambushed and the 3,000 people are wiped out, wouldn't it extinguish the fire of the Datang reconnaissance battalion. In addition, since the establishment of the reconnaissance battalion, there has been no action in the past few years, except for recruiting 3,000 people at one time. Thinking of this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but sweat, lowered his head, and slowly thought about the development path of the reconnaissance battalion in the future.

Three days later, that is, on the third day of the fourth month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing's army finally arrived at Shanzhou City slowly.

As soon as the army arrived, Li Daozong and Zhang Yunwen rushed back to Shanzhou from Kushan to report to Li Jing on the battle situation during this time.

At this time, outside the city of Shanzhou, there was already a camp tent to the sky, and at a glance, almost all of them were white marching camp tents. The population of Shanzhou City is not more than 10,000, and now there are 60,000 people outside Shanzhou City.

After questioning several captains who were camping in the army, Zhang Yunwen and Li Daozong finally came to Li Jing's big tent.

At this time, there was only Li Jing in the big tent. Seeing Li Daozong and Zhang Yunwen appear, Li Jing smiled and said, "The old man was about to send someone to you to ask you to come over, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself!" ”

The two sat under Li Jing. Li Daozong said with a smile: "Aren't we here to report the specific battle situation to the chief manager?" ”

Hearing Li Daozong talk about this war, Li Jing suddenly became serious: "In this battle of Kushan, the old man has heard people talk about it, saying that you let Fu Yun run away when you have an advantage, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Daozong hurriedly said: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, the situation of this battle will come one by one!" As he spoke, he began to lead the reconnaissance battalion to Shanzhou, and slowly began to speak. Zhang Yunwen didn't add two sentences on the side.

After talking for half an hour, the situation was finished. After Li Jing heard this, he stroked his beard and groaned, and it took a long time to arrive: "Well, this matter is indeed not the fault of others, it is really a treacherous and cunning man!" This trick of burning the wilderness is indeed wonderful! ”

"Well, what should I do, Boss?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "Later, the old man will invite the generals to the big tent, discuss together, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision!" ”

Li Daozong and Zhang Yunwen glanced at each other, and got up at the same time: "Huh! ”

The two of them stayed in the big tent, drinking tea. It didn't take long for generals to arrive one after another.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, these generals were almost there. After counting the number of people, only one Hou Junji was left who had not yet arrived.

Seeing that the people were almost there, Li Jing opened his mouth and said slowly: "I invite you to come today, but now the military situation has changed, and I specially invite you to come to discuss!" Well, let's let the king of the city talk about the current battle situation in detail! ”

Li Daozong got up, made a four-way move, and then told the story of the Kushan battle before and after. However, just as he finished speaking and was about to return to his seat, a voice came from outside the tent: "Hmph, it is clearly your mistake, if this general is here, he will let that Fu Yun escape!" ”

The curtain opened, and a burly man walked into the tent.

The person who came was Hou Junji.

Listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Daozong couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, what tricks does General Hou have? ”

Hou Junji said proudly: "Soldier, treacherous!" The prince lured the enemy's main force, and then sent elite soldiers to raid, although this strategy was good, but it was seen through by Fu Yun, ambushed with elite soldiers, and finally set fire to the waste, making our army in a dilemma. If it is led by this general, on the one hand, the army will attack head-on, and on the other hand, Zhang Yunwen will be sent to lead a team of men and horses to find the Kushan trail and assault it, and Zhang Yunwen will never be allowed to lead the troops and horses to fight the enemy! As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Yunwen, "Don't you know that Zhang Yunwen is good at small raids, but he is a little worse than this leader to fight head-on!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, if it weren't for Zhang Yunwen's prejudice against him, I am afraid that he would be cited as a confidant.

Li Daozong glanced at Zhang Yunwen ashamedly, and silently returned to his seat.

At this time, Li Jing spoke: "Okay, this matter has passed, there is no need to argue anymore!" For the time being, let's discuss the next deployment of our army! ”

Hou Junji stopped talking, went straight into the big tent, and sat at the head of Li Jing.

After Hou Junji sat down, Li Jing said: "Now that the situation is clear, if you have any suggestions, just say it!" ”

Li Jing's voice fell, and the generals were suddenly silent. After a while, Li Daliang took the lead and said: "Chief Administrator, the last general thought that Fu Yun set fire to the wasteland, but he burned the winter grass in this area, there was a lack of forage, our army's war horses were emaciated, people were tired and there was little food, and it was difficult to enter from afar. Therefore, please live in Shanzhou, and wait for next year's pasture grass to be generated, and after the horse fertility increases, then try to forge ahead! ”

As soon as Li Daliang's words fell, Xue Wanjun and other generals immediately bowed their heads and expressed their approval. Li Jing, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

"General Lee's words are wrong!" At this time, Hou Jun, who was sitting at the head of Li Jing, got up and said, "Today, Fu Yun is defeated, the rats flee and the birds are scattered, the scouts are also extinct, the monarchs and ministers are gone, the father and son are lost, and it is easy to pick up mustard." If you don't take it, you will regret it! Therefore, the last general suggested that the army immediately pursue and kill in the south, and capture and ambush Yun in one fell swoop! ”

When Li Daliang was about to say something, Li Daozong also got up and said, "Didn't you forget about General Duan last year?" General Duan returned triumphantly, only to reach Shanzhou, and the captives had already arrived under his city. It is because General Duan did not hurt his root in the first battle, and the foundation of Tuyuhun still exists, and everyone uses it! If we wait for Shanzhou to be safe, and Fu Yun gathers all the countries of the Western Regions, and even Tubo in the south, and suffers together, what should we do? Therefore, the last general agreed with General Hou's words, and the army immediately pursued and killed! ”

After listening to the words of Hou Junji and Li Daozong, Li Jing showed a slight smile. Zhang Yunwen also nodded slightly in his heart, although this Hou Junji is not a good character, but he is indeed a good hand in the fight, and he is loyal to Li Shimin, no wonder he can be in a high position!

After Li Daozong's words were finished, the generals stopped speaking, and they all looked at Li Jing in unison.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, turned to look at the huge map behind him, and thought silently.

"Pass me the order!" After a while, Li Jing turned around and said, "The army is temporarily divided into two ways to pursue Fu Yun, the old man and the young eunuchs in the palace Xue Wanjun, Li Daliang and Zhang Yunwen are going to the north, and Hou Junji and Li Daozong are going to the south!" All the monarchs worked together to catch Fu Yun as soon as possible, set foot on Fu Qi City, and pacify the West Sea! ”
