The arrival of Han Yi only forced the main battlefield to shift, but it did not reverse the tide of the war, nor did it achieve a decisive victory, the Tang army was still suppressed in the whole situation, and it was really relying on strong logistics to support the entire northwest battlefield.

This point is indeed unexpected by Tubo, because Tubo does not understand commercial civilization, let alone the new game of national debt.

If there is no national debt, then the imperial court can only forcibly expropriate the wealth of the people, or rob the wealth of merchants, which will directly destroy the development of the country, cause domestic chaos, and even collapse directly, and will not be sustainable, but the issuance of national bonds, without destroying the domestic development of the premise, will all the excess grain to the front, this is just a way to overdraft the treasury, in this way, the production of the Central Plains not only did not decrease, but is still growing substantially, because the national debt is stimulating the development of the people.

What people never expected was that the Silla battlefield, which finally joined the anti-Tang alliance, was the first to make a decisive reversal.

After Dugu Wuyue annihilated the Japanese army's naval division, he directly ordered the naval division to advance into the Baijiang River, which was the Geumgang River in later generations, and at that time, the main force of Silla sent troops from Baekje and was attacking Lelang Prefecture.

The main reason is that the Japanese army in the coalition army over there heard that their main force was completely annihilated again, and their hearts were broken, and the Japanese army was in turmoil, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Silla army.

In fact, the Silla army is the most incapable army, and the current generals of Silla are all famous generals of Baekje, and the famous generals of Baekje are all defeated generals of the Tang army.

After annihilating the main force of Silla, Dugu Wuyue did not rush to recover Xiongjin Prefecture, but led the troops of Lelang Prefecture to attack Silla proper, Silla is too small, there is no depth at all, and Dugu Wuyue is very familiar with the terrain of Silla, he used to be dangling here, and his troops are the elite divisions that have just swept through Southeast Asia, morale and state are the best, although the opponents are relatively weak, but they have also experienced a lot, and they directly hit the Silla capital in waves.

"General, the king of Silla has sent an envoy."

Hei Tooth Changzhi came to the big tent and reported to Dugu Wuyue.

Yuan Liehu said: "Didn't you hear the queen's edict, no one can talk to the enemy, deny the military law, and if you order to go down, all of them will be shot to death." ”

"Wait!"

Dugu Wuyue said: "You order someone to inform the envoy and let the king of Silla surrender unconditionally, otherwise, our army will immediately enter the city." ”

Yuan Liehu hurriedly said: "Wuyue, you did this, but you violated military law, and it will be ......" ”

Dugu Wuyue glanced at Yuan Liehu with a little embarrassment, and said: "If we continue to fight and completely sweep away Silla, I'm afraid it will take two or three months, but if the King of Silla surrenders, then we can immediately withdraw to the north to destroy the Yan Ya and Tiele, and even catch up with the big battle with Tubo." ”

Yuan Liehu blinked, and suddenly said, "It turns out that you kid is fighting this idea." He also instructed the Black Tooth Chang Dao: "Chang Zhi, you let people go and tell the envoy secretly." ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi nodded and said, "The last general knows." ”

Dugu Wuyue is actually very excited, this is the battlefield he is really looking forward to, in fact, he doesn't like any navy, because the strong enemy is not on the sea, he still yearns for the thrill of charging on the grassland, he is not even willing to recover Xiongjin Prefecture, he just hopes to force the king of Silla to surrender, and then go to the side of the Yan Ya as soon as possible, now there is a shortage of people on any battlefield, and the navy has no effect, no one will care.

He was really in a hurry.

.....．

Tashkent.

To the east of the Syr Darya, an encounter has just ended here.

Pei Xingjian led three thousand elites, marched day and night, and when the Great Food Army crossed the river, he suddenly launched an attack and defeated the Great Food Army very beautifully.

The Great Food Army originally heard that the Tang Army was only 3,000 people, so naturally they didn't pay attention to it, because they had just swept through the entire Central Asia, and even went to Europe, and their morale was high, they thought they were the strongest, and they were also very arrogant when they crossed the river, but they didn't expect Pei Xingjian to suddenly appear here, they still hadn't fought with the Tang Army, this was actually the Tang Army's signature tactic, which was to run long distances at an astonishing speed and catch the other party off guard.

"General, now that the enemy is being attacked by us, we should immediately continue the pursuit."

The morale of the Don army was high, and the generals asked to continue the pursuit.

Pei Xingjian waved his hand and said: "At this time, we will not get anything from the enemy of the Great Food, we will not be able to destroy the Great Food, and it is impossible to occupy the territory of the Great Food, and if we continue to fight, we will only lose both." We just paid special attention to it, this big food army is not a bunch of straw bales, they are also brave and good at fighting, but we were caught off guard, and after we stabilize our position, we may not be able to defeat it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "In addition, I think that Da Shi should have been provoked by the Tibetans to attack, and judging from their logistical movements, it should only be tentative. Now, we have let the Great Food Army know that our army's combat effectiveness is good, we should accept it as soon as we see it, send envoys to negotiate peace with them, and return the prisoners to them, indicating that our Datang and the Great Food have always been very friendly, and have no intention of being enemies with them, and are willing to continue to trade and continue to fight, no matter who wins or loses, they will not get anything from each other, and will only let Tubo profit from it. ”

"General, now our morale is like a rainbow, and we take the initiative to seek peace, this... This will be incomprehensible! ”

"And the imperial court has already ordered that peace with the enemy is not allowed, and it must be fought to the end."

The generals couldn't understand it, they really thought it was a missed opportunity!

Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "The queen said that, it is mainly for Tubo, not for Da Shi, we don't even have the ability to go to Da Shi now, what if we don't talk about peace?" Besides, the Green Ridge side is in jeopardy, and we have to hurry back. I have already decided on this matter, if the court blames it, I Pei Xingjian will bear it with all my might, and quickly send someone to Dashi to negotiate peace. ”

He was born as a civilian official, he used to be the county commander of Chang'an County, and later he was demoted here, so he began to lead the troops, it can be seen that he is both civil and military, this kind of person is very terrible, because they have an excellent view of the overall situation, if it is a pure general, they will definitely fight over, and they must take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to annihilate all the enemy troops in one fell swoop, but Pei Xingjian believes that even if the enemy army is annihilated, it does not have any strategic significance, that is, killing some people will only attract more big food troops, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But if all the green ridges are lost, it will be a big loss. Therefore, Pei Xingjian fought this battle, in fact, he wanted to force Da Shi to negotiate peace, and then go back to fight Tubo, that was the main enemy, after all, Da Shi was too far away to threaten the Central Plains.

However, this Silla and Da Shi were actually made by Tubo to contain the Tang army and avoid the Tang army from attacking Tubo from all directions.

The real main battlefield is still in the northwest.

Although the first battle of the Great Food was lost, it still helped Tubo a lot, mainly to contain Pei Xingjian, and the small Bolu was occupied by the big Bolu, and I don't know how many times it was looted, because it was on the main road, and Tubo had to send troops over there, after the small Bolu was lost, most of the territory of the Green Mountains was lost, and the important town of Shule was also lost one after another, but the Tubo army did not go north to snipe Pei Xingjian's troops, but immediately detoured back to Pei Xingjian's base camp Anxi Duhufu.

Because it is meaningless for Qinling and Pei Xingjian to consume, they have to quickly annihilate the main force of the Tang army in the northwest battlefield, Pei Xingjian is the turtle in the urn, and he does not have many troops.

Anxi Protectorate was originally the center of the northwest, but now it has become the first line of the battlefield, a Tibetan army has come to the city, they can finally join forces with Tiele, and basically most of the northwest, all fall into the control of Tubo and Tiele.

This is actually related to Han Yi's shrinkage strategy, Han Yi only asked them to hold Xizhou and Yizhou, and not let the enemy army press to Yumen Pass, that's it.

This is the lifeline of the Tang army, whether the Tang army defends Tuyuhun or transfers troops to the sandbank, it is to protect Yumen Pass, and the Tang army is always on the defensive.

Thanks to the death of the people in the northwest, they are not willing to stand on the side of Tubo and Tiele, they are firmly on the side of the Tang Dynasty, why? It is because the Tang Dynasty is rich, this account is actually not difficult to calculate, if Tubo and Tiele win, it must be up to them to pay for this war, although they are not as rich as the Central Plains, but Tubo and Tiele are poorer, but if the Tang Dynasty wins, it must be to come to the Central Plains to pay.

The people all ran in the direction of the Central Plains, and when they ran here, they immediately became soldiers, and if they only relied on a little bit of men and horses, they couldn't fight at all.

And now, the forces of the plateau are increasing in this direction, on both sides.

All the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are concentrated here, Ashina Miji, Xue Rengui, Pang Tongshan, Ashina Daozhen, Guo Beifeng, etc., and all of them are cavalry. The same is true of Tubo, if it weren't for the cunning Han Yi staying in Tuyuhun, Qinling would have been eager to come here in person, and this place has become a decisive battleground.

Xue Rengui and Ashina shot these generals, holding their breath on the plateau, and now they are like tigers under the mountain, sweeping all the way, this is not a plateau, they can go on a rampage, and within a few days, they will take Boxian Town and Shicheng Town. But soon, the Tibetan reinforcements also arrived here, and they could only retreat back, because their attack was a bad breath, and they held it for too long, and they didn't fight a happy war on the plateau, so they kept shrinking inside, and they didn't take into account any logistics, but they were not stupid, and as soon as they saw the Tibetan reinforcements arrive, they quickly withdrew.

The generals on both sides no longer feel any fear, to put it more bluntly, this is actually a very exciting game for them, and it is unprecedented, this will meet good talents, chess opponents, everyone is fully engaged in it, what they have learned in their lives, all used, in the northwest of this wide battlefield, open and close, vertical and horizontal, this platform is really the dream of military generals.

The key is to pass Lop Nur, which changed hands four times in one day.

The two sides are inseparable.

If Dugu Wuyue knew about this battlefield, it is estimated that he would bypass the Yan Yan and come here directly to participate in the battle.

At the same time, this also reduced the logistical pressure of the Tang Army, originally most of the logistics had to go to the plateau, but now it is all piled up here, which is of course easier.

Moreover, with all the cadets of the military academy joining the logistics, the logistics will run more quickly, they are all both civil and military, militarized management, strict discipline, can write and calculate, and have other talents, they have settled those fleeing civilians very well.

Today's generals never think about logistics, they only think about how to annihilate the enemy.

You must know that the logistics team also includes a large medical team.

West State!

"Ah.....h

I saw a bearded man screaming miserably, his body seemed to bounce up, and his face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, but he was pressed down by two men.

"You're patient, you'll be fine soon!"

Lu Shigua was dressed in a big white coat and a mask, carefully sewing up the wound with stitches and threads, and a girl beside him carefully helped him wipe his sweat.

This northwestern city, which is not very defensive, is derived from trade, as long as trade is concentrated here, it will become a town, Xizhou is now the center of the north and south lines of the Tarim Basin, and the wounded can be concentrated here.

As far as the eye can see, the entire hall is full of wounded, and hundreds of nurses are walking back and forth, and this nurse has been formed in this battle. Because Lu Shigua and Xu Changming didn't bring many people, they just brought a lot of new medicines, and the women here volunteered to join them, and then they slowly became nurses, because the men had to go to war, and only the women were left to help.

"That's it!"

Lu Shigua straightened up, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and went outside again, intending to wash his face, but as soon as he came outside, he saw an aunt running over crying, kneeling on the ground, and said, "Divine doctor, thank you, thank you for saving my son." ”

Crying a lot, it turned out that his son was seriously injured and basically couldn't be saved, but he didn't expect that Lu Shigua would actually save his son, in their opinion, this is simply a miracle!

Lu Shigua hurriedly helped the aunt up and said, "Auntie, you don't need to thank me, in fact, it is your son who protects us from harm, compared to Ling Lang, everything we have done is really not worth mentioning, if you really talk about it, I have to thank Ling Lang." Auntie, you hurry up and take care of your son, I still have to continue to treat the wounded. ”

The aunt couldn't stop nodding, and the tears still couldn't stop falling.

Lu Shigua and Xu Changming played a role in the original Langzhong, which was by no means just about saving a few people, they were closely linked between the two nationalities, because everyone looked at these Han people, and they were helping everyone day and night, and in their eyes, they also did not distinguish between Han and Hu people, there were many, many touching things, which made everyone very convinced that we are a family, not each other.

In fact, in terms of blood and customs, Tiele and them are a family, many people on both sides are a family, the same ancestor, but the people of the northwest don't think so now, they are almost all speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, and comprehensively learning the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but they all look down on Tiele and Tubo, especially Tubo, in their eyes, that is barbarians, we are civilized people.

In fact, in history, whenever there was a war here, the Hu people supported the Hu people, and rarely supported the Han people, but it was because of the emergence of Han Yi that this situation was changed, and the commercial civilization built a bridge, and the two sides continued to strengthen trade, so that you have me, I have you, a pot of rice, everyone eats together, isn't this a family, as for the bloodline, it really can't be eaten as a meal, if the bloodline is really so important, then Tiele will not go to Tingzhou, but to attack Taiyuan.

It wasn't until the second watch that Xu Changming and Lu Shigua could take a breath, and the two immediately came to the house, eating and talking at the same time.

"Master Lu, you have this kind of medical skill to treat external injuries, it's really amazing, otherwise, we may not be able to save so many people."

Xu Changsheng is quite excited, he likes to disembowel people, and then sew and mend them, this latest medical technique is in line with his nature.

Lu Shigua smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, this is due to my previous work." ”

Xu Changming was stunned and said, "Foolish? ”

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "Because I have to check the corpse every day, and even disembowel, my medical skills are obtained from the experience of the child. ”

Xu Changming said: "It turns out that you treat the wounded as dead people..... No, no, I didn't mean that, I, I.... ”

"It doesn't matter. Anyway. ”

Lu Shigua waved his hand and said, "It's that your anesthetic is extremely unstable, and some wounded people can't wake up for half a day, but some of the wounded will soon wake up in pain, which is very likely to affect our operation, which is very dangerous." ”

"I also found out that in fact, the new drug also has this problem, I think it is not the right way to take it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Changming said: "I have carefully observed, if it is only a small wound, the effect of the new medicine powder on the wound is very fast, but if you swallow it, the effect is relatively slow, I am wondering, is the new medicine combined with the blood faster, if the new medicine can be injected into the blood, it may be more effective, and the anesthetic may be the same." ”

Lu Shigua couldn't help frowning when he heard this, pondered for a while, and said, "I think this method may really work, but no, I have to write it down first." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out his small notebook, and he didn't care about eating.

Xu Changming said again: "There is another point, I have been in contact with a few old wounded people in the past few days, and I found that on them, the effect of this new medicine is far worse than the first time. ”

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "This may be a big drawback of the new drug, and it will also be a big problem for us to overcome in the future!" ”

In fact, in this battle, a great breakthrough was also made in medicine.

First of all, surgery was born on the battlefield, because there were so many wounded, and there were many seriously wounded who had to be dealt with in time. What acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, the effect is relatively slow, and there is no way to treat these serious injuries.

It just so happened that Lu Shigua had been a servant for a few years before, and he was very familiar with the structure of the human body, and he had a set of special surgical procedures, but it was used to deal with corpses before, and at the beginning, he didn't dare to use it, but he was forced to do it later, so he used this surgical method, and there was enough salt water here to clean the wound.

What's more coincidental is that the people in the northwest don't have so many pedantic ideas of the Han people, if it is in the Central Plains, the family will never allow you to do this, the living are disemboweled, you have to break your own in advance, in case of death, you have to be responsible, the people of the northwest do not believe in these, but fortunately in this first case was successful, of course, the new drug also plays a key role, because the new drug studied by Xu Changming is an antibiotic, and it has been clinically tested in Tubo for two years, so the Northwest soldiers are more willing to try surgery.

The anesthetic is also being used on a large scale, and it is really a blessing in misfortune, this anesthetic was born from the evil side of Xu Changming, he has obtained a lot of new technologies in the research and development of new drugs, especially purification technology, he began to be unbearable, and wanted to purify his own drug.

Originally, it was used to harm people, but now there is no way, but this kind of drug can only help the wounded relieve the pain, the effect is not bad, at least it can reduce some pain.

A large number of wounded, various diseases, so that their experience is skyrocketing, medical skills are breaking through every day, because many wounded are dying horizontally and vertically, so many new technologies are used directly, and they do not have too much time to think about it, and new technologies are immediately improved.
