The sixty-fourth palm is a hundred battles out of a strong country

Xu Liang was frightened by his father's hideous expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his memory, his father was always amiable, even if there was a scar on his face, he was not at all scary when playing with them.

At home in Jingzhao Mansion, he always looked forward to his father coming home when he was young, and only when his father returned home, the huge and friendless home would have a trace of popularity.

He only knew that his father was doing business outside all the year round, but he didn't know what business his father was doing.

In his heart, his father is as majestic as a mountain, and nothing can be difficult to hold his father.

It was the first and only time my father yelled at him.

Such a horror......

Tie Xinyuan stood at the head of Qingxiang City for a long time, and the falling snow on the Tianshan Mountain had dyed his mink hat and cloak white.

The snow under his feet was already more than an inch deep, and he still had no intention of leaving.

The iron fox came out of his cloak and propped his head right on his chin, and from a distance, there was an indescribable weirdness.

Ah Da and Mu Xin fought a bloody battle in Shanshan, but because the number was too small, the two armies were stalemate for three days, and then retreated into the wasteland, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

King Lengping was desperately entangled with Mu Xin at the mouth of the Erdao River, and after the surprise soldiers burned the grain and grass left by Mu Xintun in Qiuzi, he suffered heavy losses and had to disengage and return to Wuji City to rest.

Mu Sin's army let Ah Da leave, ignoring the defeated Wang Guanleng Ping, and the army persistently followed the Peacock River all the way south.

His goal is extremely clear, which is Qingxiang City.

"Fox, what do you say Musin is going to do? Loulan City was not something that his cavalry team, which did not have many powerful siege equipment, could capture.

Meng Yuanzhi would let him shed blood in Loulan City, which was not the means of a wise man like Mu Xin. ”

The fox didn't speak, treating Tie Xinyuan as a tree, drilling under the cloak, which was a rare vitality for him this year.

Tie Xinyuan naturally didn't expect the fox to answer his question, in fact, one day the fox suddenly spoke, and he was not surprised.

After all, a fox who lived to be twenty years old is too rare.

"King, since you have made complete preparations, it is now up to the efforts of the soldiers, you should not sit in the city like this."

Tie Xinyuan turned his head and looked at Liu Qi, who was covered with snowflakes on his beard, and said with a smile: "I don't worry, but I don't understand why Mu Xin must do this."

He only has less than 80,000 people, and he has a bloody battle with Ah Da in the Wild Wolf Valley of Shanshan, and in the case of Ah Da's terrain advantage, they fought for three days, and the battle losses will not be less, they should already know the strength of the Hami army, why do they stubbornly advance eastward? ”

Liu Chu shook off the snowflakes on his beard and said: "We have been preparing for three years, Mu Xin has also been preparing for three years, and we have been preparing for a big war for three years.

He must fight this battle, even if he loses, he will not be strong without moving.

Because Musin has understood a truth, if the stalemate continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable for him. “

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, war is always just a means to an end for Mu Sin.

It is not impossible for him to give up the victory of the war when he has a higher goal, and I just can't think of what his higher goal is, so he will lose his mind in the snow for so long. “

Liu Chu said with a smile: "It is impossible overnight, we will wait slowly, at least in terms of attrition, we have a shelter from the wind and snow in the city, Mu Sin's army is in the wilderness, and the cold wind in the Western Regions will help us kill and injure the enemy."

If the old man's prediction is correct, in the next day or two, it is time for Musin to reveal his true intentions. ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled, pointed to the west and said, "Then wait, the news is five days ago, and Mu Xin should be about to arrive in Loulan City by now." Facing Jiancheng to see how he made a move, I don't believe that he dared to bypass Loulan City and cross the four hundred miles of Hanhai to find me. ”

Liu Chu smiled: "It should be so." ”

Tie Xinyuan saw that Liu Chu was very cold, and if he didn't go down the city wall, the old guy could only suffer from the cold here, so he asked Liu Chu to go to his city lord's mansion to drink and enjoy the snow.

Before returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Chiwen sent a document, Tie Xinyuan opened it and glanced at it, sighed and handed the document to Liu Chu and said: "General A belongs, and he has to retreat because of the battle loss, this is his petition for guilt." ”

Liu Chu carefully read the paperwork, closed it and put it in front of Tie Xinyuan and said: "Light fuel consumption is 20,000 catties, gunpowder consumption is 40,000 catties, and crossbow arrows are 300,000. “

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said: "Light oil and gunpowder have a natural restraint on cavalry, and under this advantage, Mu Sin's casualties must be more." ”

Liu Chu put his hands on the edge of the stove and roasted, rubbed his hands and smiled; "General A's sentence is like a mountain of corpses, what he said is very general, and the king should order a reprimand for this matter."

When Tie Xinyuan heard Liu Chu say this, he stopped his gaze on Wei Chiwen.

Wei Chiwen hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The lower officer asked the messenger, and he said that there are some black-clothed people in Mu Xin's army who cross the mountains and rivers like walking on the ground, and there are quite a few of them, and it is this group of people who broke through the line of fire and caused a great chaos in our army, which made Mu Xin's cavalry break through the three lines of defense of our army in a row, and the battle damage was also caused here." ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and asked, "What about Ah Da's private message to me?" ”

Wei Chiwen was not going to take out Ah Da's private message in front of Liu Chu, but when he saw Tie Xinyuan asking, he no longer had any scruples, and took out another document and put it on the table.

Tie Xinyuan carefully read Ah Da's private message, slammed his fist on the table and said: "My own gunpowder actually killed so many of my own people, what kind of battle is Ah Da fighting!"

Liu Chu didn't look at Ah Da's private message to Tie Xinyuan this time, and frowned: "Accidental injury? Or is it a mistake in the busyness? ”

Tie Xinyuan said coldly: "Dead man! The dead soldiers in the Musin army, they drove a large number of blindfolded yaks desperately rushed through the sea of fire, and the burning yaks ran in all directions and inadvertently ignited the gunpowder pile left by our army on the defensive line, and then caused a series of explosions. ”

Liu Chu nodded and said: "It seems that our army has still not formed a real combat force, and when it encounters a strong enemy, it is still a little careless.

But it doesn't matter, the old man once heard Lao Tzu say that the so-called elite soldiers are all those who have survived a hundred battles, and good soldiers are never trained, but fought.

Don't worry, this is only the beginning of the war, our army will be able to fight with Musin's army in the field, and as the war becomes more and more intense, our army will definitely have more elite soldiers, and at that time, it will be time for us to counterattack.

The old man thought that it was better to suffer early than late. ”

"Having said that, I am still angry in my heart."

Liu Tu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is not appropriate for the king to reprimand General A at this time, but there are mistakes, and it is not too late to take the test after the war is over." ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled bitterly: "After the first battle, the light oil and gunpowder in General A's hands were exhausted, and even the crossbow arrows were left.

Wei Chiwen, you will immediately arrange for all kinds of materials needed by General A, which can be withdrawn from Loulan City in advance, and then quickly make up for the needs of Loulan City from Sandstone City, and there is no delay in the middle. ”

Wei Chiwen hurriedly went out to run errands.

Liu Chu poured tea for Tie Xinyuan and said with a smile: "The old man has been in Hami for more than four months, does the king know what is the deepest impression that Hami left on the old man?" ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It won't be me, the wise and martial king, right?" ”

Liu Chu shook his head and said, "The will of the people and order!" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "It's just order, at least since the day of the founding of Hami, I have been emphasizing order, and a little achievement is nothing."

But the people's hearts often keep me awake at night, and I don't know the taste of food, why do you praise this weakness of Hami Kingdom? ”

Liu Chu laughed and said: "Hami is just a small country with a radius of 300 miles, and it is reasonable that the whole country is shocked if there is a war at the border.

However, in the past few days, the old man has deliberately observed the people's situation, and found that there are frequent wars at the border gates, but the country has not been moved by the war at all.

The merchant is burdened in the wilderness, the farmer still works endlessly in winter, although the Harbin code has been frozen, and the wide river is not as majestic as a thousand sails at this time, but there is a weather of thousands of horses galloping.

The merchants of Qingxiang City are shoulder to shoulder, sweating like rain, the silk and bamboo on the high-rise buildings are bursting, and the celebrities are singing.

Countless workshops in Hami City are working day and night, and countless material resources are endless, which not only supplies the border army, but also continues to support the prosperity of the tile city.

Even the Uighurs, who have the most headache for the king, are still quietly working in the cat winter.

There was not the slightest pre-war panic.

If the people's hearts are like this, what does the king want from the people? ”

Tie Xinyuan was in a good mood by Liu Chu's words, and pointed at Liu Chu and said, "You said that I was too demanding?" ”

Liu Chu said seriously: "The people's heart, no matter how high the emperor's requirements are, as far as the old man is concerned, the people of Hami have begun to have the mentality of strengthening the country and the people."

Because they firmly believe that the soldiers of Hami will be able to resist strong enemies outside the country, there is such quietness.

As long as this battle is won, the Hami Kingdom will be able to cope with a more difficult situation, and judging from the current situation, ten years later, the king's dream of holding 100,000 iron horsemen to run rampant in the world is likely to come true. ”

Tie Xinyuan drank the tea in one gulp, and said in a deep voice: "In any case, we can deal with Mu Xin first, and then we will have the strength to face Western Xia and Khitan." “

Liu Chu poured another cup of tea for Tie Xinyuan and said with a smile: "The achievements of the founding of the country often determine the backbone of the people of a country.

The harder the bones of the people, the longer the country will be maintained, and it is certain that a hundred battles will lead to a strong country. ”

Tie Xinyuan laughed and said, "Didn't you already use the Juntian Law to put this king on the chariot? (To be continued.) )
