Chapter 420
"But fortunately, I have taken precautions in advance, and the garrisons of the various county capitals to the east of Wuwei County, including the number of armies deployed by the few armies that have only been assembled recently, can allow them to hold on to three high-intensity battles, so if they hold on to reinforcements, it will be no problem to support them for the last month."
When Li Wenyuan said this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Gather enough arms in advance in the east of Wuwei County, this proposal is still what Qiu Niang told herself. At first, Li Wenyuan didn't notice the importance of Zhangye County, a transportation fortress, or in other words, he didn't notice the importance, but he did, but out of trust in Qiu Niang's night owls, he didn't take much precautions.
But Qiu Niang did not give all the unconditional trust to the night owl like Li Wenyuan. Or at that time, Qiu Niang vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the night owls in Zhangye County. Of course, this feeling is just out of Qiu Niang's sixth sense as a woman, but there is no definite evidence, so Qiu Niang did not say it to Li Wenyuan, but just said that the battlefield is changing rapidly, just in case, it is better to gather some more arms in the east in case of emergency.
After Li Wenyuan listened to this suggestion, he thought about it, and this is indeed the truth. Then, according to what Qiu Niang said, in the various county governments east of Wuwei County, with the assistance of the night owls, many arms warehouses were set up, true and false, and a large number of arms were hoarded in them, but I didn't expect to use these arms today. From the detention of Qiu Niang by the night owl in Zhangye County to the present, Li Wenyuan has become more and more clearly aware that there is still this group of people around the night owl in Zhangye County who are secretly helping them, although those people have not yet shown their faces, but Li Wenyuan has roughly guessed that these people are definitely Tang Feng around Li Shimin.
Seeing that Li Wenyuan's face was still hesitant. The commander of the 33rd Division hurriedly continued to speak, and said to Li Wenyuan: "His Royal Highness King Tang, as the old saying goes, whoever achieves great things must be unrestrained!" In this Western Regions, the whole world knows that His Royal Highness the Tang King is benevolent and generous. He often has compassion for his subordinates, and is often strict with himself and lenient with others. However, His Royal Highness the Tang King, you must know that Ci is not in charge of the army, and Ci is also not in power.
You must know that you are kind, but your enemies will not be as merciful to you as you are. They'll only strike you a fatal blow when you're weak and weak, so while these night owls may be innocent, who made them stand on the wrong side? Therefore, under this general trend, it is inevitable that there will be some accidental injuries, which we cannot avoid.
The only thing we can do is to give these people's families some more compensation after the fact, and that's it. After all, compared with the lives of the people in the entire counties east of Wuwei County, which side is lighter and which side is heavier? His Royal Highness King Tang, you should have an account in your heart, and I won't say anything more to annoy you. ”
After listening to the words of the commander of the 33rd Division in front of him, Li Wenyuan sat on his horse and slowly marched forward with the queue. In the midst of the turbulence, he looked at the mountains in the distance, then at the marching procession that was marching like a long dragon, and finally cast his eyes back on the face of the commander of the 33rd Division. The whole face was cloudy, and in the end it seemed that he had made some very difficult decision, and then nodded solemnly to the commander of the 33rd Division, and then said:
"Well, you're right. I just thought about how to keep some more bloodlines of the descendants of China, but I couldn't imagine that at such a time, I could drill this kind of horn tip. It is true that it is true as you say, but killing one person to save ten people and killing ten people to save one person is a philosophical question, and it is worth thinking about deeply. But alas, I'm not a philosopher, and I'm not a qualified politician.
I'm just an ordinary person who happened to be the leader, although it's a pity and I'm sorry. But if I could save the majority at the expense of the few, I would be willing to do these things under this infamy. The route of the march remains the same, the speed of the march remains the same, and the reaction when encountering the enemy remains the same. All in all, at any cost, march as covertly as possible, so as to facilitate the final breakthrough into Zhangye County when the enemy has no time to react, launch a surprise attack on the night owl, and rescue Qiu Niang. ”
After hearing that Li Wenyuan had really made up his mind, the commander of the 33rd Division showed a smile on his face. Then he saluted Li Wenyuan, replied yes heavily, and then rode a horse, and the entire team continued to run back and forth, commanding his officers and gathering the marching team. In this way, the entire army of more than 5,000 people lined up in a neat queue, and kept approaching Zhangye County on the mountain path.
Until now, none of the night stalkers who came to observe the situation have been able to evacuate safely, and those who were lucky enough were captured alive by the military stalkers of the 33rd Division, and those who were unlucky were directly wiped out by the military stalkers of the 33rd Division on the spot.
So at this time, for the night owl commanders who were far away in Zhangye County, Li Wenyuan's whereabouts had always been a mystery. Although through his subordinates, he could roughly guess that Li Wenyuan was going to move the rescue troops, but he couldn't guess where Li Wenyuan was advancing now?
I don't know where Li Wenyuan has advanced, and the night owl commander of Zhangye County does not have the ability to order the city defense army defending the city to close the city gate. Although he also had emergency clearance, he could keep the gates closed for a quarter of an hour. But after all, a quarter of an hour was too short, so he could only wait for his night owls to come back and Li Wenyuan's specific movements, so that this quarter of an hour could just intercept Li Wenyuan's advancing army.
However, none of the dozen or so batches of night owls sent by the night stalker commander have returned to deliver a letter to him so far. So this night owl commander is actually restless now, and he himself can be regarded as the first batch of night owls to follow Qiu Niang and Li Wenyuan.
So for Li Wenyuan, Qiu Niang's weight is self-evident. At this time, he had no choice but to detain Qiu Niang and throw her into the Tianzi cell in the dungeon. Even in order to prevent Qiu Niang from escaping, he also injured Qiu Niang's right leg with a musket, these charges were enough for Li Wenyuan to catch himself and split his body.
