Chapter 137: Strategy for the River



On the seventh day of the first month, the outer hall of the White Tiger Festival Hall is full of gilded dragons, and only Li Ang is wearing the silver dragon emblem, but no general dares to despise Li Ang

At that time, his power was no less than that of a lieutenant general.

As the heavy wooden door closed, the outer hall was temporarily isolated from the outside, and in the center of the room was placed a huge sand table of the entire river geography, and the chief of the army, under the escort of several staff captains, walked out of the inner hall.

"The battle in the river is related to the future fate of the empire, and it must not be lost." The chief glanced at the generals present, his voice was solemn, he looked at a young lieutenant staff officer beside him, and nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong's westward expedition one hundred and fifty years ago, although the name of Hezhong is Tangzhou, which is the territory of my Great Qin, there are still six vassal states, although I regard Great Qin as the suzerain, but on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly." The younger

The staff officer's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his whole body exuded a solemn aura.

"Some time ago, there were many things in the Persian spy intelligence that Li Qianhu uncovered, and none of you present knew it." The young staff officer glanced at Li Ang before continuing, "Thirty years ago, on the battlefield of Hercynian Province, although our dynasty defeated Rome, it was still following it

In the post-disarmament, the fortresses and armies on the Persian Silk Road were reduced, and the upper and lower Persia were once again able to receive the taxes of merchants between China and the Western Strait, and the national power was once again on the rise. ”

"The increase in the power of Lower Persia was most evident, and their current emperor, Bandas, has been called the wisest emperor of Lower Persia in one hundred and fifty years. Under his rule, the army of Lower Persia reached 300,000 cavalry. 200,000 infantry, frequently dispatched in recent years

A small force harassed the river, and the disobedience was clearly revealed. ”

"Thirty years ago, after the rise of Manichaeism, a new religion, Upper Persia had the support of the Upper Persian royal family, which overwhelmed Zoroastrianism, which had previously held great power. Most of the Persian spies captured in Chang'an City this time were sent by Upper Persia, and they were present through Manichaeism

After our dynasty sent troops to Persia, they prepared to incite the six princely states of Tangzhou to rebel, capture Lower Persia that had been crippled by us, and then build along the river and Persia

Standing a line of defense. ”

Listening to this information, all the generals present thought about what if the plan of Upper Persia succeeded. It is indeed quite possible that they will make wedding clothes for Upper Persia, even if they can thwart the conspiracy of Upper Persia in the end. Their losses will also be significant.

"Therefore, in the campaign against Persia, our first goal is to pacify the river, and after one hundred and fifty years, a complete gallop has been established between our dynasty and the river, and from Chang'an to the river, the horse gallops quickly. It only takes three months, so capture the river

In the middle and later periods, our dynasty can rule effectively, and in addition, the Hezhong region has a high degree of sinicization, and there are a large number of descendants of our ancestors and locals, who are among the vassal states and the Great Qin, and are inclined to our dynasty. ”

"All in all, this time we will plant the dragon banner of the empire in every city in the river, and the six countries will be abolished into six counties." The chief took the young staff officer's words and threw a dragon flag into the huge sand table.

"Before that. We must first cut off the rebellion of the six princely states of Upper Persia in the middle of the river. The chief looked at Li Ang, "This matter will be in charge of Li Qianhu." ”

"Whoa!" Leon stepped forward. He took over the military card of the special staff officer of the White Tiger Festival Hall taken out by the commander-in-chief, and with this military card, he could mobilize troops of less than 3,000 people at will, and had the right to request that more than 10,000 troops be dispatched to assist him.

"The 60,000 troops who rushed to the river in advance, your task is to cooperate with the Anxi Protectorate to make a strategic feint posture against Lower Persia, you can attack in a limited way, but you must not have a large-scale battle with Lower Persia." The chief looked at several generals who were about to go out and said in a deep voice

Road.

"Whoa!" In the chorus of responses, several generals who were swept to the ground by the commander-in-chief's gaze stood up and saluted.

"In addition to the forces within the river and Persia, in the north, we are also under pressure from the Turks, although the Beiting Protectorate had previously captured the land of the Turks for thousands of miles and built the city of Dingxiang, but he had 400,000 horsemen

The Turkic war to the death is not in the interests of our dynasty. At this point, the young staff officer began to speak again.

"Li Qianhu's previous capture of the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer, has the identity of the orthodox heir of the Turkic Khan, and General Hou of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate formulated a strategy with this, that is, to take Dingxiang as the capital, support Ashina Sheer as the new Turkic Khan, and gather the grassland

The tribes confronted the current Turkic royal court and conquered the kingdom with razing. ”

"According to the geographical division, the new Turkic state with Dingxiang as its capital will be called the Western Turks, and the original Turkic states will be called the Eastern Turks, the Eastern Turks will be the enemies of our Great Qin, and the Western Turks will be allies

The suppression of the six countries in the river. The young staff officer looked at Leon again.

After continuing to talk about a few things, the chief ended the military hall meeting and only left Li Ang behind.

"After arriving in the Western Regions, you led your masters into the Eastern Turks and assassinated Luo Khan." In the inner hall, the chief executive stared at Li Ang with a heavy gaze, "In July, the Northern Court Protectorate will launch an offensive against the Eastern Turks to attract their attention, and there will be more

Two assassination teams are with you. ”

"Whoa!" Li Ang replied with a blank face, he had been a soldier fighting against the Eastern Turks in his previous life, and now this order was exactly what he could not ask for.

"After the assassination is successful, go to the river immediately to clear those rebels, Zhuge Ying Staff will go to the river to collect intelligence for you first, and then you can go to the Qin Ji Chamber of Commerce to contact him." The chief introduced the young staff officer just now to Li Ang, Zhuge Liang of the Eight Pillars Kingdom

The descendants have been serving in the Anxi Protectorate, and they were transferred back to Chang'an some time ago.

After leaving the military hall, Leon thought of the steppe where he had fought, and after a year, he had to go back again, and to assassinate the king of a country, he had to reconsider the ration of men, and Thule had to go with him. I can't stay in Chang'an. Back

After home, Leon still looks relaxed. He didn't want Feng Siniang, Lin Fengshuang and Qingzhi to worry about him.

Ten days later, looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who were packing up for themselves and browning a little worriedly, Li Ang laughed, "I only."

How can you bring so many things to do some small things? He said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, looking at you like this, it doesn't look good at all." ”

Looking at Li Ang who was smiling lightly, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang hugged him together, they really liked the feeling of leaning on his chest, that kind of warmth always made them forget all their troubles, if they could, they hoped that they could rely on him for a lifetime. Never let go.

Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who were relying on him, Li Ang smiled. Gently stroked their hair, and let them lean on like that, without saying anything, until a long time later, he hugged them and said quietly. "I'm leaving."

"Dart game and gang, you help me watch the point." Although he didn't want Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang to get involved in those things, Li Ang, who knew their temperament, knew that if he didn't give them something and tied them up, he was really afraid that they would leave Chang'an and run to the river

Look for him.

"Well, we'll take care of it for you." Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang nodded together, and they finally straightened Li Ang's clothes and sent him out of the mansion.

Fifty miles outside the East City. Leon looked at the dark cavalry camp that was ready to go, and nodded. Then he took one last look at Chang'an City behind him, and also instigated the horses under his crotch, and a group of 300 people rushed to Wanzhou in the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

Half a month later, Li Ang and they arrived in Liangzhou, one hundred and fifty years ago, this was the capital of the Liang Emperor Dong Zhuo, and finally the overlord who dominated the Western Liangdi was still destroyed in the hands of the Great Qin army, and was personally killed by Lu Bu, a fierce general in the Great Qin army at that time.

Speaking of this past, Feng Sha couldn't help but be excited, because he was also a halberd, and it was rare to see that Feng Sha, who was like a stone, would be so interested in such a thing, Qin Feng couldn't help but speak provocatively, "Hmph, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's old man rushing too fiercely,

Which round to get him. ”

"You're looking for ballast, aren't you?" Feng Sha frowned, and said in a deep voice towards Qin Feng. Not to be outdone, Qin Feng glared back. Seeing that the two of them looked tense, Murong Ke rode his horse over to persuade them, but the two of them ignored them, but they were right

The confrontation intensified until Leon opened his mouth.

"Are you two enough, this is Liangzhou Zhichong Mansion, do you want to fight in front of outsiders?" Li Ang looked at the two people who were still a little unwilling, and only felt a big headache, it seemed that when he was not there, he definitely couldn't let the two of them keep a piece, Dong

On a trip to the Turks, one of them must be taken with you.

After glancing at the few people in the tent, Li Ang said in a deep voice, "Feng Sha, you go back and prepare, and go on the road with me tomorrow." ”

"Your Excellency, you?" Looking at Li Ang who suddenly said this, Feng Sha and Qin Feng were stunned at the same time, and the others looked at Li Ang in confusion, not understanding what his words meant.

"I'm going to do another thing, you go to the river and settle down first, and when I'm not there, you're under the jurisdiction of the sun." Li Ang looked at the puzzled people, and temporarily handed over the military power to Xun Rizhao to take care of, and he didn't plan to bring too many people on the trip to the Eastern Turks.

Although he still wanted to ask something, because of Leon's majesty, no one dared to ask Leon what he was going to do.

In the evening, after dinner, Xun Rizhao found Li Ang, who felt that he could not shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by Li Ang. "My lord, you asked me to control so many people, I..."

"No one is born a general, and no one is born to run an army." Li Ang looked at Xun Rizhao and smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "Believe in yourself, you are a wise man, but you are too indecisive, as long as you change this problem, you will find yourself."

There are so many things you can do, so let's take this as an opportunity! ”

Looking at Li Ang's trusting gaze, Xun Rizhao finally nodded, he really should make some changes, just start with this independent leader.

Sending Xun Rizhao away, Li Ang returned to the military tent, where the people who had gone to the Turks had been gathered, Tule, Hu Luguang, Murong Ke, Huang Yuan, Feng Sha, and a total of six people including him, he didn't want to take Murong Ke to take danger, but Hu Luguang guarded Murong Ke's father

Qin's order did not leave Murong an inch, and Li Ang, who wanted to borrow the falconer king he had to give in, and let Murong Ke participate in this operation.

"We passed through the Uighurs and Tiele and went to the Turks in the guise of merchants, and our destination was the Turkic royal court, looking for an opportunity to assassinate the Luo Khan." Li Ang said the purpose of this trip, listening to his words, all the people were in a heartbeat, they didn't expect Li Ang to be daylight

The thing he said he was going to do turned out to be such a big thing.

"It's too late to quit now." Leon glanced at the people in the tent, he didn't like to force others to participate. "Young Master..."Hu Luguang looked at Murong Ke beside him, wanting to dispel his young master's thoughts. However, Murong Ke didn't think about quitting at all,

Seeing everyone staring at him, his face was hot, and he glared at Hu Luguang fiercely, and was suppressed by his fierce eyes, Hu Luguang's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"That's when no one quits." Li Ang glanced at the crowd, dragged a box out of the military tent, and opened it, and in it were several sets of Shanzi light armor, which he had spent a lot of effort from the Foundry Division to get out for the royal family.

"Go back and prepare our weapons, change our uniforms, and we'll set off lightly tomorrow." After distributing a few sets of mountain character armor to everyone, Li Ang wiped the black horse slashing giant sword in the tent alone, this assassination operation to the Eastern Turks, for him, how to take all the people

Coming back safely is the real trouble.

Li Ang sighed suddenly, the military hall had already ambushed the dead soldiers in the Turkic royal court, they had been lurking for nearly ten years, Li Ang was not sure whether these people were still alive, whether they were still the same loyalty, as long as he made a mistake, his team would be completely wiped out

There is no danger, and he can't help but be imprudent.

After wiping the blade of the sword and returning the sword into the sheath, Li Ang remembered the real Ashina Yunlie, the battle in the clouds, this genuine Turkic martial god defeated Gao Huan, the hundred cavalry commander of the black cavalry battalion, and the most terrifying thing about him was his wisdom, although he was very interested in Daqin

There is an almost pathological fear and hatred, but I have to admit that he is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with.

The night was deep, the candles were blown out, and Leon lay down in his clothes, no longer thinking about those things, and fell into a deep sleep.
