Chapter 259: Zhang Xuan's prestige and the clown who jumped off the beam

In fact, how could Zhang Zhu's 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses disappear ♀ in the territory of Tubo, even if they tried their best to hide their tracks, there would be a lot of movement.

However, the Tubo Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are sparsely populated∨ so the colony led the army away from the walled city, crossed the mountains and mountains, and chose a route closest to the hometown of Tuyuhun and marched calmly.

Although he did not fight head-on with the soldiers and horses in Tubo, he came and went in Tubo to cross the desert and the plains, and crossed the mountains and mountains, which was a long-distance march that tested the physical strength, endurance and willpower of the Tang army, which can be said to be very bitter.

Moreover, deep in the territory of Tibet, if you are not careful, you may fall into a heavy encirclement, so the whole army is also tense.

In the beginning, from time to time, the reins would issue some military orders that seemed strange to the soldiers.

For example, Namu Lake, obviously just crossed yesterday, but after resting in front of Namu Lake for a day, Zhang Zao suddenly ordered the army to quickly return to Namu Lake, expelled a nomadic tribe in Tubo, and then marched north, and marched north for less than 100 miles, and then turned back to the east again, made a big circle, back and forth, or returned to the established marching route.

At first, the soldiers complained, but later, even ordinary soldiers figured out one thing: the governor was not guilty of a nervous disorder and wanted to toss the soldiers back and forth, but such a "toss" directly jumped out of the encirclement of the Tubo soldiers and horses, so that the Tubo soldiers and horses could not figure out the true whereabouts of the Tang army, and the pursuit went in the wrong direction.

By the time the Tibetan army and horses came to their senses, the Tang army had disappeared without a trace.

In more than a month, this coalition army composed of Hui Hui, Lingzhou Wei and Shence Army gradually merged into one because of the same weal and woe. And because of the successful practice of strategy and strategy and tactics, Zhang Zheng's prestige in this coalition army has gradually reached a peak.

Before, as the governor of the capital, all he gained was the awe of the soldiers, which was a kind of awe of power: now, in the hearts of the 30,000 soldiers, Zhang Rein was a scheming and omnipotent military god-like existence, and he had a blind worship of him.

In the first battle of the city, firearms were powerful, directly defeating the Stanley army and annihilating more than 20,000 people. Subsequently, he pursued all the way into Tibet, and harassed the country all the way, making the Tubo people fearful.

Turning back to the northwest, he attacked the city of Namu, and obtained sufficient supplies and food and grass. Later, he marched south to force the Tibetan king Tingluo to some cities, which made the Tubo people tremble. And just when the Tubo people came to the siege of Luocheng with the line of fire, Zhang Hao suddenly led the army back, brushed home with the Tubo army horses, and occupied Qilincuo. Once again, he was provided for in the territory of Tubo, coming and going freely, and playing the Tubo people in the palm of his hand, all of which relied on Zhang Yan's strategy and tactics.

For more than a month, although the Tang army did not fight head-on with the Tibetan army and horses in Tubo, it annihilated nearly 10,000 Tibetan stragglers, burned down several Tubo granaries and military forts, and once occupied three medium-sized walled cities, causing considerable destructive power.

It can be said that the Tibetans after the withdrawal of the Tang army. Don't try to slow down for three years.

As night fell, at the foot of the Bō Dry Mountain, the Tang army set up a Jingzhai at the edge of the dense forest.

The camp of 30,000 people is also extraordinary, the piles of bonfires that are making rice are bright or dark, flickering, looking down from the high slope where the horses are galloping, dotted with stars, not noisy.

"Governor, over the Bō Dry Mountain, it is the plain. Our army marched in a hurry, and in five days it could reach the outskirts of Tuyuhun's hometown. Guo Ziyi said loudly.

Zhang Zhuang silently looked at the heavy night and the bōganshan hidden in the night, nodded and said, "General Guo, the Tubo people behind you can chase after you."

"Governor Dadu, the horses have been surveyed and returned, and a total of 30,000 troops and horses from the two routes of Tibet have assembled at Namu Lake, and then chased in the direction of our army, but it is at least three days away from our army. By the time the Tibetans chased after them, our army would have left long ago. Guo Ziyi's voice was a little excited, and he slightly bowed his hand to Zhang Shu and hugged his fist, "Most of the capital governors are superintended, and the last general will be taught a lot!" ”

Zhang Shu smiled slightly, and glanced back at Guo Ziyi, "This way of using soldiers, Ben Shuai is also learning and using it, but it makes you laugh." However, this time our army entered Tibet, and the purpose of the strategy x ìng was achieved. ”

"When disturbing the situation in Tibet and destroying the national strength of Tibet makes the Tubo people unable to invade our Tang border ‖ for several years, it is also a kind of military training." Zhang Zheng slowly rode downhill, and Guo Ziyi and others got on the horse to follow.

"General Guo, how long can our army's food supply last?"

"Back to the Dadu Governor, according to the method taught by the Dadu Governor, our army cooks fried noodles and barbecue, and every soldier carries them as much as possible, plus hunting and robbing the grain of the Tubo tribe all the way, it is not a big problem to persist until the class teacher returns to the dynasty." Guo Ziyi replied respectfully.

"Pass the order, let the brothers hold on for a few more days, and when the squad returns to the court, the commander will definitely reward the three armies and set up a banquet to reward everyone." Zhang Hao clamped the horse's belly and ran in the direction of the camp, and the closer he got to the camp, the stronger the aroma of boiled meat.

For more than a month, Zhang Yi ordered his soldiers to plunder as many horses as possible, slaughter or pickle them or barbecue them, so that they could be carried and save as much food as possible.

Cut the marinated dried meat, boil it in a pot, and then add some grains to make a thick porridge, which is a delicious meal, enough to replenish the physical exertion of the soldiers.

The edict of the imperial court and Li Heng's edict were transmitted to the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Fuguo, who was originally a very low-key supervisor, was suddenly full of energy, and went directly to the front desk from behind the scenes, and took away part of the authority to manage the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion from Feng Chong.

Zhang Ji had no news, there was an edict in the imperial court, and Feng Chong had no choice, so he had to watch Li Fuguo's villain get his will, gritting his teeth and enduring it.

After Li Fuguo took power, the first thing he did was to make fun of the Tuyuhun New Army, which was being prepared.

This is the result of Zhang Zheng's single-handedly promotion, and the 10,000 Tuyuhun New Army is being formed, but it was banned by Li Fuguo's decree.

At the same time, Li Fuguo wantonly accepted bribes from local merchants and Tuyuhun nobles in Lingzhou, and issued government decrees indiscriminately, which turned Lingzhou into a miasma. He even opened the ban, allowing Tuyuhun to build his own city outside of Lingzhou.

Feng Chong's repeated admonitions were fruitless, so he could only continue to endure.

But Hua's patience was exchanged for Li Fuguo's gains, and the contradictions between the two became deeper and deeper.

Until one day, Li Fuguo wanted to meddle in the affairs of the firearms battalion outside the city, and Feng Chong finally broke out.

The firearms battalion was an important object of protection that Zhang Zhuang repeatedly told and explained to Feng Chong before leaving, and no one was allowed to interfere. Li Fuguo wants to take over the firearms battalion, how could Feng Chong agree.

Feng Chong confronted Li Fuguo in person, Li Fuguo was furious, angrily reprimanded Feng Chong in public, and even released words to play the court and dismissed Feng Chong from his official position, but Feng Chong didn't care about these anymore.

Li Fuguo is just a eunuch, while Feng Chong is a famous general in the army, and he has an influence in the army that Li Fuguo cannot match. Because of Feng Chong's presence, it is impossible for Li Fuguo to completely take over the affairs of Lingzhou and Longshuo.

Among Zhang Zhu's decrees, one of them was to migrate to the front line of Hejiao, and the Tuyuhun tribe was relocated in batches as a whole, in preparation for the future seizure of Tuyuhun's hometown. But Li Fuguo's stirring up the situation directly disrupted Zhang Hao's deployment.

Not only that, Li Fuguo also ordered the 40,000 Longshuo soldiers and horses stationed on the front line of Hejiao to be transferred back to Lingzhou and Shuofang, but his first military order was issued, and Li Guangbi did not bird him at all.

Li Fuguo gave two military orders in a row, but there was no movement from Li Guangbi's side, Li Fuguo was furious, and immediately rushed to Hezhou with more than 100 guards.

On 13 September, Li Fuguo rushed to Hezhou, and he waited outside the city for a long time, but he did not see Li Guangbi leading the generals of Hezhou out of the city to greet him, and his heart was furious.

He angrily led people to rush into the city, and found that there were many "border people" ♀ from the front line of Qinghai in Buzhou and outside the city of Hezhou, and some of them were border people who were in urgent need of resettlement.

Hezhou City's Taishou Mansion is Li Guangbi's current fear of Shuaifu.

Li Guangbi was discussing military affairs with Zhang Yi and the generals of Hezhou in the hall, when he suddenly heard the report that Li Fuguo, the superintendent of the army, had arrived, and he couldn't help frowning. What he hated the most in his life was eunuchs, and he had a lot of complaints about the imperial court letting Li Fuguo temporarily replace Longshuo's authority.

This was the factor that he ignored Li Fuguo's military orders.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has the bottom in his heart, knowing that it will not be long before Zhang Yi will spread the news, and he will attack the front line of Hejiao and the horses before and after, take the hometown of Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, extend Hejiao as a whole to the territory of Tubo for hundreds of miles, encircle the hometown of Tuyuhun into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and establish great achievements.

As soon as this achievement is completed, Zhang Yan's power will naturally rise to the next level, and Li Fuguo will be a little smaller, but in Li Guangbi's eyes, he will just be a clown who will not be able to jump for a few days.

But Li Guangbi didn't expect that Li Fuguo would come to Hezhou.

He frowned, but he still got up and smiled at Zhang Xun and the others, "Lord Zhang, Supervisor Li has arrived, you and I will go out to greet you?" ”

Zhang Xun sighed lightly, got up and said with a smile, "Greeting is naturally to be greeted, Li Jianjun was ordered to temporarily act as the governor of Longshuo, and we are all subordinates, so we must not be rude." ”

Li Guangbi smiled, "Master Zhang, an internal supervisor, what does he know?" Ben will hear that he is arrogant and domineering in Lingzhou, making a mess in Lingzhou, and now he has come to Hezhou to cause trouble."

The two led the generals out of the mansion side by side, Li Guangbi stabbed Li Fuguo, who was standing in front of the mansion gate and "looked forward to life", and said indifferently, "I have seen Li Jianjun, I don't know what kind of business Li Jianjun has to go to the Hezhou army?" ”

Li Fuguo smiled coldly and said reservedly, "This supervising army is ordered by the imperial court and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Imperial Court to act in charge of the political and military affairs of Longshuo, and at this moment is ordered to inspect Hezhou, does General Li have an opinion?" ”@。
