Chapter 208: Strange Letters

The marching commander is not at all the same concept as the general's mansion.

The former belongs to the command, and the latter to the military district.

Liangzhou's resistance to the Turks, just like a future foreign war, gathered the troops of several military regions, and then transferred a highly prestigious general from the central government to take command and carry out various controls.

Therefore, in wartime, the orders of the marching governor are above all else, and the general's office does not generally issue orders during this period, and the provincial and marching governors come into conflict.

If it is the punishment of Shi Wansui and Lao Hei, the payment is the head of the march, and this matter is confirmed, after all, the two did disobey the military order, or did they violate it when the Turkic army of 200,000 moved westward, which affected the deployment of the entire northern war situation.

When it comes to slashing and deciding, it's still light to calculate!

Strangely, this letter came from Zuo Wuwei.

Moreover, the names of the two people are not mentioned above, only the positions are named.

Are Zuo Wuwei's soldiers shielding?

"Which part of the sentry sent it?"

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the Zuowu Guard, there is a banner, a general's order, and a herald's mark issued by the marching chief."

Yang Shuang frowned, Liu Fang returned to Beijing to recuperate, and then was transferred to Yanmen Mayi as the supervisor, Lao Hei took over as Xiong Qujun, and all the soldiers were in his hands, would he send someone to send a letter to behead himself?

Nonsense!

"This letter is absolutely fake!" Yang Shuang rubbed the letter, a little uncertain in his heart, but he said it very firmly.

"But the messenger, including the imprint of this letter, is all true!" Guo Yi was a little incredulous.

"When will this letter arrive?"

"A month ago! No, if you think about it, it should have been a month and a half ago! ”

"A month and a half?" Yang Shuang lowered his head in contemplation, stood up suddenly, and asked quickly, "When did Apo break through Zhangye's defense?" ”

"It seems like it was a month and a half ago!"

"It's broken!" Yang Shuang's face changed greatly, "Lu Xiaobu! ”

"Yes, big brother!"

"Inform Niu Er and send two thousand cavalry to gallop Shule"

wanted to order something, Yang Shuang calculated the time in his heart, and found that it seemed a little late!

Apo was able to imitate the military orders of the Great Sui General's Mansion!

Perhaps, when they broke through Zhangye's defenses, they seized the mark of a certain high-ranking official and created a fake military order through special means!

If it was before, Yang Shuang would not have worried at all, Shule was his own, there was no special token for the horse to get lost, and no one was waiting to mobilize the army.

But now it is different, the Great Sui sent countless talents produced by the imperial examination system to be placed in various departments and cities in the Western Regions, and the communication methods used in the past naturally need to be abandoned, and then replaced by the official military orders and government decrees of the Great Sui.

Aposi went, there was Shule Nameless Pass to stop him, Yang Shuang had the confidence to trap him, after all, the sand sea is vast, there is no food, no drink, where is he going to escape?

But if Apo can imitate the military orders of the Great Sui, he will not need too many means to get baggage from the literati who have never been officials and are in the internship period, and quickly cross the sand sea, find a pass from the Tianshan Mountains at random, break through the siege, and rush to the western Turks!

"Grass is terrible!"

Yang Shuang raised his foot and kicked open the table and chair, making Guo Yi tremble.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaobu hurriedly asked.

Yang Shuang was silent, and quickly thought about countermeasures.

If Apo fled to the Western Turks, would Datou, who had lost 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, give him support?

If you give him support, how many soldiers and horses will you lend him?

If Apo borrowed soldiers and horses, would he go to the Altai steppe from the North Daokou, or should he go north from the northern foot of the North Tianshan Mountains and from the General Temple?

If Apo takes the north crossing, can Niu Er, who is guarding there, hold the pass?

This is a serious problem!

Yang Shuang hurriedly said goodbye to Guo Yi and took thousands of armor soldiers to the Yangguan Ancient Road.

This time he was preparing to recruit troops, and the target was the 8,000 rebels.

If the North Pass is in an emergency, these 8,000 rebels will be their own reserves.

However, Yang Shuang had just stepped into the Yangguan Ancient Road, and several sentry riders were running from the direction of Yangguan with yellow mud.

"Report! General, Shule war report! ”

"Speak!" Concerned about the war, Yang Shuang was too lazy to watch it himself.

"A month ago, there was a group of soldiers and horses with a size of about 5,000 people, pretending to be the Sui army at night and wanting to cross the nameless pass, but was recognized by General Liu Ling, and the two sides fought all night, and the other party was the central Turkic soldiers and horses!"

"Because there was no defensive force in the eastern section of the Nameless Pass, General Liu, who had only 500 troops, was unable to support it, and after a night of hard fighting, he led his troops to retreat to the high ground."

"The Turkic soldiers and horses did not delay much, but quickly went out of the customs, and finally disappeared!"

"What about Liu Lingbu's losses?"

"Relying on machinery at night, the losses were slight, only a few hundred people were wounded by feathered arrows, but the Turkic arrows were not sharp, so there were no major casualties."

Yang Shuang understood.

Apo has been running thousands of miles in the sea of sand, and it is already very good to survive, how can he still have the strength to fight a tough battle.

Moreover, the important information is that of the 10,000 people who fled, there were 5,000 left!

Eaten, or die?

It doesn't matter!

As long as Apo no longer plagues various cities in the Western Regions, Yang Shuang will be relieved.

Without waiting for the sentry to leave, the direction of Yumen Pass was once again ridden.

One by one, it is nothing more than Ruoqiang, Jimo, Hotan and other cities, which were deceived by the unknown Sui army into taking a large amount of grain, grass, cattle and sheep, and when the defenders reacted, the enemy had disappeared.

These interns produced by the imperial examination system of the Great Sui Dynasty were all full of guilt and asked the Metropolitan Governor for their guilt.

Yang Shuang didn't bother to pay attention to these scholars, although they couldn't fight, they were good at governing civil affairs, at least better than a group of rude men who were soldiers.

Leave the four big words "not an example" on these letters, and the matter will be stopped.

Speaking of which, the main reason for this incident is to blame him, after all, it was the soldier who failed to guard the border, which gave Apo a chance.

Since you have only lost part of your food and grass and have not suffered a large number of casualties, there is no need to make a big fuss.

After processing the report, Yang Shuang suddenly noticed the urgent secret letter from the North Daokou Pass.

"Who sent this?"

His own military emergency report still uses the horse lost system, so he needs to find the herald to ask for details, because there is no news in the urgent secret letter that needs to be delivered.

"General Hui, it's me!"

"Speak!"

"Seven days ago, the Western Turks made a big move, and 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Shizihe at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. General Niu was worried that the pass was in danger, so he transferred the defenders and laborers of Shancheng, Turpan, Yanqi and other places to enter the Beidaokou Pass! ”

"Five days ago, the Turkic army attacked the pass, but it was just a show of power, and then along the northern foot of the North Tianshan Mountains, all the way to the west, passing through the General Temple, Black Mountain Head, Lao Ye Temple, into the Altai steppe!"

"General Niu asked the Governor of Dadu for instructions on whether to move the main force of the North Tianshan Pass to the east and move it to the North Tianshan Pass, as well as the Yiwu generation!"

"In addition, General Zhong Kui led a thousand soldiers and horses from Yiwu to the north, ready to monitor the Turkic movements at all times!"

Yang Shuang took a deep breath, this battle depends on whether Apo is going to dry the sand bowl!

If you don't do it, the two armies will add up to 400,000, and you will be in big trouble!
