Chapter 779: Bad News in Hexi

After talking about finding a midwife, Zhao Ziliang was about to go back, and remembered another thing, the soldiers of the Beiting Army and the 100,000 Central Plains Army under his command had never entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and suddenly came to a high-altitude area to inevitably have altitude sickness, the Beiting Army was relatively better, and many people had stayed in the Green Ridge and had received relevant training, but the soldiers who were supplemented in Luoyang later had not undergone this training, and the 100,000 Central Plains Army had never been to such a high-altitude area, if they did not do a good job of prevention and preparation, Once altitude sickness occurred during the battle with the Tibetan army, wouldn't it be a great loss?

Zhao Ziliang still remembers that when he was the governor of Xihai Prefecture, in order to attack Tibet, someone recently offered a prescription to overcome altitude sickness, and he still remembers the ingredients of the prescription, so he said to Zhang Boji: "Zhang Taishou, most of the soldiers under my command have never been to this Longyou region, the more west they go, the higher the terrain, I am afraid that many soldiers will not adapt to this terrain, too prone to dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, coma, this is altitude sickness, most people as long as they adapt to a few days will be fine, But there are still some people who are not easy to adapt, and in severe cases, they will even die, so we must make some preparations, prepare some medicines to make pills, and wait for the soldiers to have altitude sickness attacks and take them immediately, so that the soldiers can recover their combat strength in the shortest possible time! ”

Zhang Boji frowned and said, "Xia Guan has heard that the county king used this medicine to let the soldiers overcome this imagination, but Xia Guan doesn't know how to make this pill!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I will write a list of medicines for you, you send someone to purchase medicinal materials, and find Lang Zhong to do everything possible to make pills as quickly as possible!" Without this medicine, the soldiers will inevitably have a problem when they enter the real plateau, so this matter must not be sloppy! As for Zhang Taishou's expenses for raising all these military supplies, I will allocate them to you from the military expenses! ”

Zhang Boji also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the money he spent on raising so many materials during this time had already emptied the Jincheng treasury, if Zhao Ziliang used these materials but did not give money, then all the deficits would have to be paid by himself as a Taishou, he didn't have such a big financial resource.

"Thank you so much!"

May 29th, night. Inn, in the room.

Mrs. Meng said while carefully tying the straps on both sides of Zhao Ziliang's armor: "Swords, guns and arrows have no eyes, although you are a commander and have strong martial arts, but you must also pay more attention, dozens of our family members and hundreds of people in the whole clan are all pointing at you, if you have any accidents, this family will be over, and the entire Zhao family will also be finished, now is not the time when you used to feed the whole family by yourself and not be hungry!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "How can you say so seriously? Lei'er and Ting'er are now grown up, even if I am gone, with their brothers' support, the Zhao family will not be able to fall! I am a military general, if a military general spares his life, is greedy for life and is afraid of death, what future does this Tang world have? The fate of the military general is to die on the battlefield, not to die on the sickbed, if one day I really return the body of the horse leather, none of you are allowed to cry, you should be happy, because I will be happy! ”

"The slave family doesn't allow you to talk nonsense, the slave family has only been married to you for a few years, and the good life is not enough! If you talk nonsense, I'll ignore you! Mrs. Meng said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'll not say anything!"

Mrs. Meng fastened the straps on both sides of the armor, and took the cloak and draped it on Zhao Ziliang's shoulders, but Zhao Ziliang was too tall for Mrs. Meng to reach, so Zhao Ziliang could only hang the cloak on the buckle of the armor by himself.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang remembered that Li Siye and Chu Ge's Second Route Army and Third Route Army had separate marching and offensive routes respectively, and it would definitely be much more difficult to supply. “

A personal soldier walked in and saluted: "Great handsome! ”

"Go and invite Mr. Du!"

"No!"

After a while, Du Fu walked in and saluted: "Dashuai, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Mr. Du, please go to Jincheng Taishou Mansion to find Zhang Taishou, and ask me how many pills for the treatment and prevention of altitude sickness made by him to find Lang Zhong, the main force of our army will leave tomorrow, how much to prepare, you bring some people over, take half of the pills made first and take them away by the main force of our army tomorrow, and leave the rest for the time being, and distribute them to the second and third route armies before the departure of the day after tomorrow, and take them away, people who have never been to the plateau, if there is no pill, Once altitude sickness occurs, it will lose combat power, and in severe cases, it will die, so this pill is sometimes a life-saving thing! ”

Du Fu arched his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”

After Du Fu left, Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Ting were already ready to wear armor, and the women and maids of the family were sent to the door of the inn, the two turned over and got on their horses, turned their heads and waved to the family members, and then rode their horses in the direction of the city gate, and some personal guards and cavalry followed closely.

After coming to the military camp outside the city, Zhao Ziliang immediately sent someone to find Chu Ge and Li Siye, and the two entered the Chinese army's tent and saluted him: "Marshal, are you looking for us?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Tomorrow I will lead the main force of the army to march in the direction of Shanzhou, there are some things I want to explain to you, you two have never been to Longyou before, and you have not fought with the Tubo people here, this is not Anxi, not Beiting, not even the Central Plains, this is Longyou, here is close to the snowy plateau, you have all stayed on the plateau, and you have fought with the enemy on the plateau, you should know what to pay attention to on the plateau!" I have asked Jincheng Taishou Zhang Boji to make drugs to overcome altitude sickness, and now I have made a batch, tomorrow I will take half of it, and you will divide the remaining half, and take it away when the army sets off, most of the soldiers under our command have not been here, nor have they fought with the Tubo people here, the marching routes of your two armies are advancing in the direction of higher altitudes, so it is inevitable that the soldiers will have altitude sickness, if this happens, you must leave these soldiers behind, and leave medicine and food for them, Let them recuperate and recover in the same place, but your main force can't stop, Zheng San will stay in Jincheng to preside over the transportation of grain and grass, Zhang Boji will assist him, and the two of them will do everything possible to transport the follow-up medicines, grain and grass to you as soon as possible! In addition, I have found two people who are familiar with the terrain of this generation to be your guides! Wang Er, Ma Pi, you two come in! ”

The voice fell, and two middle-aged men who were each missing an arm walked in from outside the big tent and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "General! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and then said to Li Siye and Chu Ge: "When I went to Hexi more than ten years ago to take office, Wang Er and Ma Pi have already followed me, most of the area of Longyou and Hexi, they have been there, familiar with the local terrain, I led 3,000 cavalry from Kunlun Pass, Tanggula Pass into the depths of Tubo country, in Tubo country circle, they have been following me all the way as a personal soldier, after returning from the Tubo country killing, the two of them were wounded, can not stay in the army, so they took the reward money to buy a pasture here, Cattle, sheep and fields, stay here, marry and have children, and they have often gone to the country of Tubo to do business over the years, so if you have the ability, even if you want to enter the territory of the country of Tibet, they can also be a guide for you, and it is more than enough! One for each of you, listen to them as you march and fight! ”

Wang Er and Ma Pi saluted Chu Ge and Li Siye respectively: "I've seen General Li and General Chu!" ”

The two of them nodded and said, "It's up to the two of you next!" ”

"You're welcome, two generals!"

A personal soldier outside the tent walked in and reported: "Marshal, General Wei Boyu has arrived!" ”

Zhao Ziliang beckoned: "Let him in!" ”

Wei Boyu walked into the big tent and saluted Zhao Ziliang, Li Siye, Chu Ge and others: "Meet the marshal and the two generals!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Wei Boyu and said to Li Siye: "Wei Boyu used to follow Duan Xiushi in Anxi, the official to the general of the left guard, Tianbao followed Duan Xiushi to lead the troops back to the dynasty to participate in the counterinsurgency in the fifteenth year, but was soon transferred to Longyou, the official to the Shence army soldiers, stayed in Longyou for two years, and later received an order to lead the army to Shaanxi County, and the official to the sixth army of Henan!" Wei Boyu is a person who is very familiar with Longyou, he has been here for two years, the Shence Army has recovered a lot of troops, actively tuntian, drilled soldiers and horses, and also smashed the disturbance of the Tubo army several times, Li Siye, I let Wei Boyu be your deputy general, what do you think? ”

Wei Boyu hugged his fist at Li Siye and said: "I've seen General Li, when General Li was a soldier and horse envoy in Anxi, I was just a small soldier, since General Li left, I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect to fight with the general now!" Please give me more advice! ”

Li Siye also hugged his fists and said: "General Wei is polite, I will ask General Wei to help more in the future!" ”

After a few people left, Wang Can rushed into the big tent and hugged his fist and said: "Dashuai, I just received the latest news, half a month ago, Dazaru Gong divided 50,000 troops, and appointed Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo as the general to lead these 50,000 soldiers and horses to the north, all the way to Changning, Qilian, Dadou Canyon, along this route into the hinterland of the Hexi Corridor, two days ago it broke through Liangzhou Wuwei City!" ”

"What?" Zhao Ziliang's face changed greatly, and he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

Finally stabilized his mood, Zhao Ziliang immediately walked to the edge of the hanging map, marked a route of the Tubo army on the map with his finger, and sighed: "Wuwei City was broken by the Tubo army, which means that the Hexi Corridor has been completely cut off, if this route is not opened, our contact with Beiting and Anxi will be interrupted in the future!" I have long said that it is absolutely impossible to leave Longyou and Hexi empty for a long time, the emperor and the court did not listen to me, not only did not replenish troops and horses for Hexi and Longyou, but also repeatedly transferred troops, which caused the current situation! Now these generals under my command are all brought from Beiting, and the generals and colonels of the Central Plains Army have basically never been here, and there are basically no people who have the ability to lead the troops alone and are familiar with the local situation in Hexi, so who will lead the troops to take Hexi back?
