Chapter 282: Destroying the country without any challenge
Riding on a war horse, standing in the middle of the Chinese army. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā
The yellow sand and Gobi in the sky are endless, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Although Yiwu is small, he is a prince of one side, and he does not have many troops in his hands, but he has more than 10,000 troops.
But now, I haven't met the slightest decent resistance.
No, it should be said that I didn't even see a single hair.
The Yiwu border is not manned at all, it is connected to the Yumen Pass, and the same is true of such a sensitive place, it is hard to imagine, but it is useless.
The environment here has created a special situation here, and the difficulty of its garrison is beyond human imagination.
The countries of the Western Regions, which are not rich, if they all garrison troops on the border, even these garrisons can drag them to death.
Some instances are weak and can only ensure regular inspections, while some are strong enough to barely achieve a small number of garrisons, and the inspections are more rigorous.
The endless desert and Gobi, a rare oasis, here, there is no concept of fighting for every inch of land, and giving up a part of the territory and bringing in the enemy can get a greater chance of victory.
As for the loss, there is no loss at all, there is no farmland, no villages, at most there are more footprints and feces on the desert Gobi.
The high fighting spirit made Xue Wanjun feel a strange feeling.
This is not the first time he has led the army alone, but it is the first time he has led the old Qi army alone, and it is also a previous opponent.
Xue Wanjun, who has been basically isolated from the army since Li Yuanji took the stage, came to the army again.
It felt like a world of difference, and before the war started, Xue Wanjun felt the strength of this army.
With full emotion and excitement, before sunset on the second day, Xue Wanjun led an entire army to arrive at the Iwuzhi Office.
Iwu is not just the name of a city, but encompasses the entire region, specifically the Hami region in later generations.
Calm Igo, ruined city.
Hanbani did not use his money to repair the city, but for his own pleasures.
It can be said that if it weren't for Hanbani who used heavy profits to win over those high-level officials, Yiwu's sky would have turned upside down.
But now, in the case of life and death, those heavy profits no longer have any meaning.
No one would give up their lives at this time to care about those interests.
"General, the gate of Yiwu City is wide open, and many people who look like officials are lining up, and the sergeants have no weapons in their hands, and there is a human head in front." Not far from Yiwu, Xue Wanjun received a report from the scout.
The scout walked very close, and Igo didn't resist, and when he saw the scout's figure, he naturally knew that the army was not far from here.
"Could it be the enemy's ploy? Deliberately let our guard down so that we can launch a surprise attack? Li Daliang, the general of the Left Army, wondered.
This kind of case is not nothing, but there are many, and there is nothing surprising about it, the general of the unified army is a little careless, it is possible to go deep into the dangerous situation, although the general of the unified army looks very beautiful, but it is extremely difficult to be, and the energy consumed is far from what people can imagine.
"Probably not!" Xue Wanjun shook his head and continued: "This time our army was taken by surprise, Han Bani didn't have time to react at all, just went around to ask for help, and their speed couldn't be faster than ours, and there were only three or four thousand defenders in Yiwu City at most, and this amount of strength could not pose a threat to us at all." So, I suspect that the people below may have killed Hanbani in order to protect themselves. ”
The human head in front of him is likely to be the head of Hanbani, and it is not necessary to change it to someone else, and he is not qualified to show off there, which is clearly a vote.
"Why don't you send a bunch of people in first?" Li Daliang also felt reasonable.
"Brother Li, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, whether they really surrendered or not, you can see it with just one plan!" Xue Wanjun smiled, still a little helpless about his old friend's uprightness.
"Then let them all out of town!" Li Daliang nodded, naturally knowing what Xue Wanjun was talking about.
Out of the city, without weapons, there can be no threat, and then the Tang army will control the entire city, even if there is any idea at this time, it will be too late.
The safest, most reliable, and at the same time a good way to test people's hearts.
But there is also a possibility that you are more sensitive to the other party, and feel that you are doing this to kill them completely, so as to rebel.
But obviously, the officials in Igo City obviously don't think so.
They have no ability to resist, Yiwu's city is not tall, one Yumen Pass can be worth the height of three Yiwu cities, such a city, for the Tang army who is good at siege warfare, is simply a pediatric.
You can't keep it, so why do you have to keep it?
After experiencing the tricks of the Tang Army, how can he have the courage to do some other schemes?
Therefore, after receiving the report of the Tang army scouts, he immediately let all the troops in the city out of the city, and then threw the weapons into a pile, and the soldiers were far away from the weapons, and everything was done according to the instructions of the Tang army.
He was also worried that Tang Jun was deliberately making things difficult for them, wanting them to resist, and then catch them all.
Want to dig a hole for me? There are no doors, surrender, simply surrender, and don't give you any reason to make trouble.
The weak cooperation made Xue Wanjun and Li Daliang feel relieved, and they felt a little depressed because of this, and their good military exploits were gone.
Although it took Yiwu without a single soldier, this is also a huge military achievement, but this kind of combat achievement is not as real as the head.
First, a group of soldiers entered Yiwu City, rode a fast horse and swept around, and found nothing abnormal, and then two thousand troops drove directly into the city, instantly controlling the city wall, as well as every corner of the city, and every room did not let go, one by one went in and cleaned the side, confirmed that there was no danger, and then went out of the city to report.
"The guilty minister is powerless to greet the general of the Celestial Empire! This is the head of King Hanbaani of Iwu, please check it out with the general of the Celestial Empire! "Weakness in his hand holds a tray with a human head on it, and the human head has its eyes closed.
Xue Wanjun has never seen Hanbani, so he naturally doesn't know the authenticity of the human head, but it doesn't matter whether it's true or false, even if Hanbani escapes, what can he do?
It's just a civilian, what kind of wind and waves can it set off?
"As a minister, you can set things right, what's wrong?" Xue Wanjun said generously that the majesty of the Tang people cannot be violated, but the generosity of the Tang people must also be reflected.
They are here to conquer and make a name for themselves in the Tang Dynasty, not to clean up and leave after cleaning up.
Grace and power, the Central Plains Dynasty is best at this.
"The minister is guilty!" Seeing that General Tang had a good attitude and had no intention of blaming them, he gradually relieved his heart and decided to confess.
It's better to say now than later, if the Tang people find out later, won't they and others suffer?
It's better to take advantage of Tang Jiang's happiness now and confess directly, so that what happens in the future will have nothing to do with him.
"When the minister learned about this before, Han Bani had already sent people to Tuyuhun, Turk and Gaochang to ask for help, and the minister had sent people to chase after him, but there was no news so far, so the minister was a little worried."
Well, that's the way it is, and I won't admit that I came up with this idea anyway.
The chasers were indeed sent out, but the two were separated by a day, and it was strange to be able to catch up.
"It doesn't matter! If you don't come, you have to entertain yourself. Xue Wanjun smiled slightly, although there are not many troops, but the strength of 50,000 people is here, and he really doesn't frighten those forces, what Tuyuhun Gaochang Turkic, it's okay if you don't come, just wait for the end by yourself if you come.
It was far easier to deal with these countries in the Western Regions than it was to deal with the princes of the Central Plains.
It's so easy that many people can't believe it.
For example, the powerful Eastern and Turkic Turks, who were once claimed to have 200,000 troops going south, were actually 200,000, but there were not many real soldiers.
After that battle, the Turks actually lost 40,000 or 50,000 troops, but just these 40,000 people made Jieli slump, and there was no chance to fight back.
Population is the biggest drawback of these ethnic groups, so as long as the Central Plains Dynasty can annihilate their tens of thousands of troops at one time, it can basically ensure peace for 20 years.
The countries of the Western Regions are mostly desert Gobi, and their unique terrain restricts their population development, so they cannot withstand consumption compared to the East and Turks.
On the other hand, Datang does not have this problem, even if 100,000 soldiers were killed in World War I, it can only be painful, and it cannot reach the level of hurting muscles and bones.
As for Tuyuhun, the nomads of the plateau region, their true strength is not even comparable to these countries in the Western Regions.
Xue Wanjun was not worried at all, because the 50,000 people in Yumen Pass were just troops in this direction, and Tugu would not come, so let them have a good understanding of why Datang's fist hurt so much.
The foundation of self-confidence comes from its own strength, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is already the top level of all Han armies in history, and this is after a large number of grenades, bomb throwers are in service, plus the reorganization of the military system, making the Tang Army more suitable for expeditions.
Looking at the more than 100 officials, large and small, those with status and status are all in front, and those with no status and no status are standing behind, all like frosted eggplants, listless.
Such a group of people would not dare to use it himself, but he was still very interested in bringing Yiwu back to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"I've been working hard for a long time, so I won't bother you about what Igo is going to do. You have three days to prepare, and after three days, you can go to Chang'an, and I hope you will be more interested there. Xue Wanjun continued to smile and said with a harmless look on his face.
These are all rich people, sending them to Chang'an is conducive to the economic development of Chang'an, and it is also conducive to the Tang Dynasty's full control of this place, preventing them from doing some small actions in the future, killing two birds with one stone, the Han people often do this, and they like to do it very much, Xue Wanjun is naturally the same.
"The minister obeys, then go home and clean up...... the bitterness in his heart can't be explained, fortunately, they didn't confiscate their family property, and going to Chang'an may also be a way out......
