Chapter 50: Whom the Great Army Will Do Dominate IV
In the spacious hall, everyone sat on their newly invented chairs, listening intently to Saiifdin's explanation.
The craftsmanship of the chair is exquisite, with a softly curved back and naturally flowing armrests that make your back and arms feel comfortable. On the back of each chair, a green ginkgo leaf is also carved into it.
The layout in the festival hall is completely different from before. No longer like the court meeting of the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, there are several cases and couches on the high platform in the north, and the couches are placed in turn on the left and right below. Instead, an elaborately carved chair was placed on the northern platform, in front of which was a large table. On the opposite side of the desk, there are several rows of chairs neatly arranged. In this way, the people on the high stage can communicate face-to-face with the people in the audience.
“…… The mounts of the Khorasan cavalry were all the best horses. After fighting with the rebel spies a few days ago, I think the generals have a deeper understanding of the skills of the big horse. The rebels had 40,000 cavalry in the Khorasan region, most of which were supposed to be near Baghdad at the moment. But in his hands, Qiyad still has at least 10,000 Khorasan cavalry. When fighting, the Khorasan cavalry was generally arranged on both sides. When the central troops attacked, the Khorasan cavalry would slowly press up, looking for the opponent's flaws. They like to attack their opponent's array from both sides, so be sure to pay attention to the side protection......" Mi Wei struggled to translate Sai Ifdin's explanation, after all, she didn't know anything about military affairs, and many words were unfamiliar.
Ashinayang, whose face was gloomy, frowned, obviously not very satisfied with Mi Wei's translation.
Wang Zhengjian, who was sitting behind Anice, noticed the expression on Ashinayang's face, turned his head and whispered, "Bear with it for two more days." Du Liulang said, it is estimated that when he explains next time, the little lady of Yiyue will be able to replace Mi Wei. ”
Ashina Yang turned his head slightly, looked at Ayi Tenggena who was sitting in the corner of the festival hall, and nodded: "Unexpectedly, the little lady of Yiyue has such a talent, much stronger than the crazy girl who dances with swords all day long." On the way back to Tingzhou from Chang'an that day, I received a letter from home at the Yizhou Post Station, and was shocked to hear that Aunt Gongsun wanted to take the dog girl as an apprentice, and thought it was a cheap person who teased me. ”
Wang Zhengjian stroked his long beard, and said with a low smile: "Jiangmen Tiger Girl, it should be like this!" Why bother Brother Yang? ”
Ashina Yang shook his head: "Even if Su Thirteen Niang taught the dog girl swordsmanship, she actually wanted to take her out of Tingzhou and travel around." I really can't rest assured, and it's hard to agree. Fortunately, the dog girl didn't want to leave Tingzhou, otherwise she would have a headache. ”
"Then Su Sanniang can't live in Tingzhou for a long time if she wants to." Wang Zhengjian's words were very light, but Wang Yong, who was sitting behind him, immediately pricked up his ears.
She hesitated for a moment, and said that she had nothing to do recently anyway, and decided to stay in Tingzhou for another year and a half, and then return to Chang'an when the dog girl's swordsmanship improved. Ashina Yang didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but be a little smug on his face.
Wang Yong couldn't help but exhale softly, while Du Huan snickered on the side.
"It seems that Ling Ai is quite popular with Su Thirteen Niang!" Wang Zheng saw and praised.
"It's far worse than Fei Langjun, not to mention anything else, this chair alone is very exquisite. Sit up with your legs stretched and your hands rested. "Ashina Yang reciprocated the peach.
"The dog begged for a certain half a day, saying that he would lend us some kind of 'advertisement', so he gave dozens of chairs for free to the official office of the metropolitan protectorate. These chairs are indeed comfortable to sit on, but they are inevitably a bit rude and not dignified enough. I'll have to change it back in a few days. ”
"Advertising? It's interesting to advertise it. Fei Langjun is really naturally smart! Ashinayang is exaggerating.
Wang Zhengjian shook his head with a smile: "A little careful thinking, it's just a simple change to the Hu chair, it's not a big deal, but it's just for him to mess around." ”
"Fei Lang-kun didn't just improve the Hu chair?" Ashina glanced at Anicei in front of him and said quietly.
"Where is his credit. Most of them were discussed by Zhao Dahui and Ji Anglangjun, and the dog was just a little strange occasionally. Wang Zhengjian said modestly: "Moreover, the source of resin water is very difficult to find, and the production of several wells found so far is limited. Therefore, it is uncertain whether the fierce oil fire can be used on a large scale in the western expedition. It's the counterweight stone cannon, but it's already done. ”
"Du Hu, such a militaristic weapon must be kept strictly secret, and must not be used by the enemy!" Ashina Yang said solemnly.
"Brother Yang has a point!" Wang Zhengjian nodded and said: "A certain has been ordered that every craftsman can only contact and be familiar with one process of stone cannon, and a single craftsman will never be allowed to master all the skills." The site where the stone cannons are assembled has also been strictly guarded. ”
"All protect the wise!" Ashina Yang hurriedly praised, and then said hatefully: "The political hall is really hateful, it is obviously the strategy of the western expedition proposed by Du Hu, and it is just a matter of letting the Anxi army get a piece of the pie, and even appointed Gao Xianzhi as the general manager of the Dawan Dao march, and I am not very angry in my heart!" On the battlefield, our Beiting army will destroy the city, shine, and win the first credit, see what the Anxi army thinks! ”
Du Huan, who was sitting behind Wang Zhengjian, had been paying attention to the whispers of the two. Ashina Yang's words of resentment were inevitably slightly high, and Du Huan, who was concentrating, heard them clearly. Listening to Ashina's generous and fierce statement, Du Huan's eyes flashed with thick mockery.
"Draw your sword and go into battle to serve the monarchy, why do you need to divide you and me if you succeed." Wang Zhengjian replied lightly. "In this western expedition, you can cut down the Dao and revitalize the Shengwei, as for who is the master and who is the deputy, and who gets the first credit, I don't mind."
"They all protect their minds and are frank and open, which makes a certain person ashamed." Ashinayang's face was calm: "However, not only is he angry that Du Hu can't be the boss, but he is also worried about the constraints of the Political Affairs Hall and the Anxi Army. ”
"It doesn't hurt if the soldiers come to block it, and the water comes to cover it." Wang Zhengjian said firmly, unafraid of the conspiracy that might be brought.
Probably because the two of them were chatting for a long time, Anice, who was sitting at the front, glanced back. When Wang Zheng saw this, Ashina Yang smiled and glanced at each other, and then sat upright and said no more.
Sitting in the corner, Aitenga had a long table in front of her chair. Holding a special slender rabbit, she listened to Sai Yifudin's description and Mi Wei's translation, and kept taking notes.
Miwei's sister, Milan, sat on her left-hand side, answering Aitengana's questions from time to time. Wang Fei sat on her right hand side, bowing her head and writing something.
The three of them shared a desk, but they were also happy.
As Aitenga was taking notes, she suddenly felt a gaze rush by. As soon as she looked up, she saw Anice's veiled side face flashing.
Aitengna glanced at Xiao Langjun beside her, who was struggling to write, paused for a moment, but said nothing, and continued to bow her head to study the Great Food Language. She was now desperate to master the language as soon as possible and gain a deeper understanding of the Great Food Empire.
Although she had heard a lot about the Great Food Empire from Xiao Langjun before, she still felt that it was far from enough at this time.
The reason for this anxiety is that Aitengna has understood that the fate of Kuturu and the future of the Turgish Khanate are already closely linked to this mysterious and powerful state......
When the generals of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate gathered together to learn about the strength of the Great Food Army in the Jietang, in the west of Tingzhou City, in the confiscated Pei family manor, Zhao Dazhui was commanding dozens of soldiers of the baggage battalion, with the help of pulley sets and other equipment, trying to assemble tall counterweight artillery trucks.
Outside the manor, hundreds of elite soldiers of the North Court guarded the manor impenetrable. The archers, who were standing on the watchtower, were bored when they suddenly heard a whistling sound behind them like a gust of wind.
The archer turned around and looked up, and was stunned to find that a huge stone projectile was flying high in the air. With a deafening roar, it flew towards the north of the manor.
The stunned archer forgot his duty, and mechanically followed the trajectory of the stone projectile, watching it fly farther and farther like a meteor before slamming into the dense forest to the north.
The loud crash and the snapping of trees could be heard in the distance, and the archers felt as if the watchtower under their feet shook a few times.
Inside the manor, the cheers of the baggage soldiers rang out loudly. There was also a faint roar of Zhao Dazhui in the middle: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to the landing point to see how powerful it is!" ”
At the same time, near Dashahai in Liuzhong County, Xizhou, under the jurisdiction of Beiting, several Tang soldiers were turning their wheels with all their might, pulling up a bucket of swarthy and slimy liquid from the deep well.
Immediately after the barrel was lifted, someone carefully poured the liquid from the barrel into the clay pot, then covered it with a lid and tied it with hemp rope.
After the clay pot is filled with a carriage, it will be transported to Tingzhou City, which is more than 100 miles away, under the escort of the soldiers.
When the war machine of the Tang army in Anxi and Beiting was in full swing, the edict issued from the Tang Dynasty Political Affairs Hall and representing the majesty of the Heavenly Khan, like a migratory bird coming from the south to the north, set off from Chang'an and flew into the Black Tiger City of Huiwang Court at the foot of Hangai Mountain in Mobei and on the bank of Kunshui (now Hun'er E, Mongolia); flew into the Yakuza on the banks of the Yenisei River in Mobei; flew into the Shatuo tooth tent on the shore of the Pu Sea in Yizhou, Beiting; Fly into the big tooth tent of Qarluq in Broken Leaf City on the banks of Suye in the river; Fly into the city of Xiqiu, the capital of the country of Bahana on the banks of the Pearl River......
After receiving the edict from Chang'an, the various vassal states and tribes that submitted to the Tang Dynasty were ready to gather warriors, mobilize troops and horses, and prepare to go to war, whether they were sincere or had other motives.
A great war that swept Mobei, Moxi and Hezhong was about to be launched. The unexpected contest between the two great empires of the East and the West is about to begin.
And under the influence of the traverser butterfly effect, what kind of changes will happen to the trend of the war? What kind of tortuous fate will everyone who is involuntarily involved in it face? Everything, however, is beyond the full control of the young travelers.
