Chapter 276: Playing Away
The entire Tuyuhun was finally a little unbearable under Qin Hao's constant infiltration and destruction, and he didn't wait for the Tang army to fight, and he had the intention of collapsing.
With the assassination of Master Yuantong, there are more and more tribes that keep ordering, and even Murong Fuyun's descendants have clashed with the affiliated tribes seven times in six days, and now let alone gather troops to resist the Tang army, it is difficult to even keep the throne.
And Duan Zhixuan really didn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime several times, and soon after Yuantong was stabbed, he suddenly gathered an army and rushed to Qinghai Lake without warning.
This battle is similar to history, Duan Zhixuan won a big victory and Murong Fuyun was defeated, and he lost almost all of his Qinghai skull, so frightened that he hurriedly led the troops to flee to the mountains and deserts, and became a turtle with a shrunken head, never daring to show his head again.
Different from history, Duan Zhixuan has an extra map in his hand, a topographic map of Tuyuhun that Qin Hao and the Yamen did their best to draw for Duan Zhixuan, and his military strength is also stronger than in history (Duan Zhixuan controls the border army and the alien army).
In history, Duan Zhixuan was cowardly at this time, and after a small victory, he was afraid that going deep into the plateau and desert would lead to a fiasco due to poor supplies, so he retreated after a small battle, and finally had to send Li Jing here to turn the tide.
Qin Hao said it was also because of this when he sent the map, taking advantage of the fact that Murong Fuyun was anxious at this time, he would no longer make persistent efforts, and when Li Jing gathered troops and horses from Chang'an, he was afraid that even the daylily would be cold, not only would Murong Fuyun be prepared, but also the strategic advantage that he had built up with great difficulty would be lost, and it would even cause an embarrassing situation in which the party members defected.
This time, Qin Hao finally felt the power of his little butterfly, Duan Zhixuan didn't know if it was because of Qin Hao's picture or because of what Qin Hao said, after defeating Murong Fuyun, he resolutely waved his army south, and plunged headlong into the extremely harsh natural environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Qin Hao, who learned this, couldn't wait to laugh, he brought such a big change to Datang, it should be regarded as a merit.
This battle went so smoothly at the beginning, all the people were very happy for a while, Qin Hao was naturally no exception, he specially took the two best group teas and boiled them, and personally entertained the colleagues in the Fengyan Department, after being tired for so many days, he could finally rest a little.
In fact, they do intelligence work, once they officially hand over the fire, they will be idle, so that although there are still countless of their brothers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau struggling, the remaining task is only to take advantage of the opportunity of Murong Fuyun to further incite the internal division of Tuyuhun and provoke the anger of the Tuyuhun herdsmen against their khan.
It's just that these Fengyan Yamen can rest, but Qin Hao himself can't, because his Fengyan Yamen's difference has nothing to do with her on the surface, he just came back as a consultant to guide Ma Zhou and their work, and the Qinggang is his job.
Tuyuhun is a place where the country is small and the people are weak, and the military strength is far from being strong compared with the Tang Dynasty, so fighting head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and if you want to win this victory, in addition to the strong walls and clear the wilderness, use the plateau, desert and deep mountains to drag down the Tang army's baggage supplies.
It is precisely because of this that whether the Tang army can win this battle or not, in fact, does not lie in how to fight, but in how to ensure that the army in front will not break the baggage, since the Qing Gang has monopolized the world's transportation, it is naturally the duty to transport military supplies, not to mention that they also belong to the naval army from the perspective of establishment, fortunately, the Yellow River was barely able to walk in the Tang Dynasty, and it was still able to barely keep up with the large army along the Yellow River all the way west.
As for Qin Hao, there are many talents in the Qing Gang, and the prime ministers of the political hall are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and this kind of small matter of calculating military rations is similar to him and him, so he simply left it alone, and devoted himself to another project: salt introduction.
Perhaps it is fate, after all, the salt introduction of this thing still has to embark on such a road, as in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court encouraged private merchants to buy grain and send grain to the front-line soldiers, according to the amount of grain purchased and transported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and merchants with salt to settle.
These businessmen sent grain to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with all their money, and they couldn't just be so empty-handed, just as Duan Zhixuan's army was frantically sweeping on the territory of Tuyuhun, so these businessmen's sporadic minds moved, and they started doing business on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau again.
A thousand years ago, all the people were soldiers, and no one cared whether you were an army or a civilian, and you were always strong while walking on the road, and you couldn't bring much on the road except food, and the gold and silver that were really before might still be in your pocket, and all the worthless gadgets would be thrown away.
Those merchants saw that the best sheepskin and deer skins and even copper coins could only be thrown away, and felt that it was a pity, so they used the salt in their hands to start a business with the soldiers, so most of them were pulled over by a boatload of grain, and a boatload of sheepskin and cattle were pulled back, and the booty looted by the soldiers could also be exchanged for salt, a win-win situation!
Robbery, if it can be realized at any time, the efficiency must be screaming, what desert wind and sand will become a drizzle, I heard that all the soldiers who died in the war will not only be sent back to his family with salt, but also the leader will give an extra three or two stones.
What a win-win egg! Qin Hao's soul was about to be scared away, okay, I thought that this thing could only be a replacement for gold after all, even if something went wrong, it was just a pit for some big businessmen and nobles or something, it wouldn't kill them, and it would be easy to remedy it by yourself.
But what's the matter, why did all of them run into the hands of the soldiers? I heard that in less than a month, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already issued three million stone of salt, and more and more, I don't know who is so smart that he actually discovered the medicinal value of Cordyceps, one hundred in Chang'an City, Qin Hao seriously suspected that this was deliberately done by the imperial court in order to improve morale, and nine times out of ten, those Cordyceps would be sent to the palace in the end.
So, now Duan Zhixuan and they are happy to fight on the desolate desert beach, no matter how hard and tired the Chinese people are when they make money, they will feel beautiful in their hearts, they should have looked for the main force of the enemy army in the desert to seek the opportunity to annihilate the war, but now 。。。。。 Enemy? What kind of enemy army, we are here to find Cordyceps.
Not only that, but seeing that those leftovers on the front line are making a fortune, the soldiers in Guanzhong, who have always been bullish, can no longer be stable, why should such a good thing let the border army and aliens catch up, we also have to make money, ahhh We also have to contribute to the country!
In fact, it is indeed about the same, Murong Fuyun has gradually figured out the tribes of Tuyuhun, perhaps because Duan Zhixuan and they burned and looted too ruthlessly, the Xianbei people suddenly became angry with the enemy, and it was indeed time for the Tang Dynasty to send the main force to fight.
Hehe, Qin Hao didn't dare to think about it, when this battle was over, there were soldiers of different races outside these passes, and they found that all the money they earned with their heads turned into waste paper, would they be angry and poke a hole in the sky.
