"This Wei Meng, without a detailed battle report, sent someone over to say, what kind of system has it become?" Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shake his head after listening to the report of the soldiers sent by Wei Meng.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ziliang said to the person who came: "You go back and tell Wei Meng, let him stabilize the order of He Hunting City as soon as possible, and then escort the seized and confiscated booty, gold, silver and jewelry, the remnants of the Turkic forces in He Hunting City must be clean, and those who are unwilling to submit will be killed, and there will be no future trouble!" ”

"No!" The visitor agreed, saluted, and turned to leave.

He Hunting City was only thirty miles away from Broken Branch City, so Zhao Ziliang was the first to get news of Wei Meng. Wei Meng is impatient, he doesn't know a big character, his mind is relatively simple, and he does things roughly, Zhao Ziliang was originally not at ease to let him lead a thousand people alone, but people like Wei Meng have an advantage, that is, they are loyal and brave, they have no heart, they are the kind of people who belong to the rectum, this kind of person is more loyal, they don't have to worry about being betrayed by such a person, if they want to climb up, they must be supported by such a desperate person under their hands, so Zhao Ziliang took the risk of letting him lead an army alone, Let's see if he has the potential to be called a general, and try his loyalty.

The closer to the Broken Leaf City, the more difficult it was for the Turks to be subdued, and Zhao Ziliang did not have much time and patience to appease those who were unwilling to surrender, after attacking the Broken Leaf City, he ordered all the Turks who were unwilling to surrender to be killed, and the corpses were buried in a centralized manner, it took three days on the road, one day to attack the city, and only one day to stabilize the Broken Branch, and on the sixth day, two hundred people were left to garrison the Broken Branch, and he led two thousand two hundred people to General Pei City.

Some historians have done a lot of research on the origin of General Pei City, and some people believe that this General Pei City was named after the first Khan of the Hui Khanate, Guli Peiluo, because Guli Peiluo and the leader of Gelulu were divided into left and right Yehu by the Tang Dynasty respectively, and then attacked and killed the Turkic Baimei Khan, so the city was built at the mouth of the broken leaf river. But Guli Peiluo's Uighur Khanate is in Mobei. It is in the original territory of the post-Turks, but it belongs to the territory of the Western Turks, and at this time, Guli Peiluo has not established the Hui Khanate at all, he is now only the leader of the Hui tribe, and now Mobei is still the world of the post-Turks, and the tribes such as Qarluq and Baximi are still subject to the Later Turks. It doesn't matter whose name this General Pei is named after, but it has always been a military garrison of the Tang Dynasty, and it is only twenty miles away from Broken Leaf City.

There are eighty miles from the broken branch city to the city of General Pei, don't look at it is only eighty miles. But this road is not easy to walk, the road from the broken branch city to the middle of the city of General Pei is a river valley of eighty miles, the name of this place is called the broken leaf river, and the broken branch city and the general Pei city are located in the east and west of the broken leaf river respectively.

The time for the army to set off was not long after dinner, and Zhao Ziliang was ready to spend the night crossing this dangerous valley that was eighty miles long.

In fact, with such a path, the cavalry would not be faster than the infantry, and if ambushed, the infantry would have a much better chance of survival than the cavalry, because the infantry would easily find cover and hide. And the cavalry may not have hid yet, and the horses were frightened and scurried around, leaving the knights dead on the spot.

When attacking the broken branch city, Zhao Ziliang did not let anyone escape. The pedestrians and caravans from the west were all seized, so the Turgish people in General Pei City should not know that Broken Leaf City had fallen into the hands of the Tang army, but they could not be unguarded, so Zhao Ziliang still sent Wang Can to lead the outpost team to explore thirty miles before the army set off. Once you find that something is wrong, immediately notify the main force of the vanguard army thirty miles behind you.

For this adventurous march, Zhao Ziliang also made full preparations and plans. First of all, he divided the entire vanguard army into three parts, each part of the strength is basically the same, the distance between each part is only one mile, even if the army is ambushed, it will only be one part of the ambush, the other two parts can be increased in time, and he divided the six hundred elite infantry into three parts, respectively attached to the three cavalry, once attacked, the infantry can quickly dismount and use the shield to resist the arrows fired from both sides, or quickly set up an infantry attack formation to break through the barrier that cuts off the connection between the two parts, Bring the armies together.

Zhao Ziliang's arrangement did not come in handy, the Tucai Shi people did not expect the Tang army to come so quickly, and by the time the Tucai army in General Pei City reacted, the Tang army had already approached the city.

In fact, the Tuqi Shi people had already received the news that the Tang army was going to converge under the Broken Leaf City on August 15, and the Spitfire Immortal had also made preparations, and strictly ordered the towns in the east to be strictly defended, but the plan could not catch up with the rapid changes, and Zhao Ziliang's vanguard army broke through too fast, and it only took three days to take all the four cities in the east, and completely solved the worries.

Moreover, most of the attention of the Turgish people was on the Bakhana Kingdom, the Shi Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom in the south, as well as the Tang Army and the Northern Route Army of the Tang Army from the east, and the attention to the Southern Route Army was basically very little, after all, there was no danger between the Zhaowu Three Kingdoms and the Turgish Army, and the commander of the Tang Army was in the Northern Route Army, which made most of the attention of the Turgish people attracted by the soldiers and horses from these two directions, thus creating favorable conditions for Zhao Ziliang's Southern Route Vanguard Army to advance rapidly.

Although General Pei City is located at the west exit of the Broken Leaf River, it does not completely block the mouth of the Broken Leaf River, and the Tang army can still take a small road to bypass it to Broken Leaf City, but in this case, they must be careful of being attacked by the Turquoise army of General Pei City in the back.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the first month of August, the Tang army besieged General Pei City, the east and west gates were besieged by the Tang army, and the turkey guards of General Pei City, Turona, were shocked after learning of this situation, he organized troops to strengthen the city wall and city defense, on the other hand, he sent several groups of messengers to Broken Leaf City to report the news, but the road to Broken Leaf Town has been cut off by the Tang army, and several successive groups of messengers were intercepted and killed by the Tang army, and the letters were also intercepted.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, Zhao Ziliang did not order the siege of the city, the soldiers were tired and needed to rest, the siege equipment was not completed, and General Pei used to be a military fortress, the city wall was tall, the fortifications and equipment were sufficient, and it was not easy to take it down.

For two days, Zhao Ziliang didn't make any moves, but ordered to cut off the connection between General Pei City and Broken Leaf City, but all those who came out of General Pei City or came from Broken Leaf City were all detained and guarded, as long as there was a slight resistance, they would be killed immediately, and no one with any intentions would be given any chance.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, from morning to down, Liang Qi and Chu Ge rushed to complete the convergence.

The Great Tent of the Vanguard Army.

Liang Qi and Chu Ge bowed to Zhao Ziliang together: "See the general, we will live up to the general's trust and return from the task!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was very happy, raised his hand to signal them all to get up, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about what we have gained this time and how much we have lost!" ”

Chu Gexian said: "General, after his subordinates led 300 people to set off from the north bank of Qingshui Lake, they arrived at Dunduo City on the third day, and they got in touch with our army in the city that night, and with his cooperation, our army entered the city from the gap in the city wall to defend the city lord's mansion and his 200 cavalry, and seized one box of gold, five boxes of silver, two carts of copper coins, two jewels and jade, and more than 7,000 cattle, sheep and horses. After each of the 200 people got four sheep and a string of copper coins, they all surrendered to the general, willing to serve under the general! ”

"Oh? Did the two hundred bring it? Zhao Ziliang immediately asked.

Chu Ge said: "It's all brought, and my subordinates have sent people to drive the cattle, sheep and horses over, but they are still on the way, and the gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and copper coins have been brought over by my subordinates!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang affirmed that Chu Ge had done a good job in this matter, and sighed a little: "A small city lord of Dunduo City is so rich, it can be seen how powerful this person is to exploit the residents of Dunduo City!" ”

After the fall of the Wusun Kingdom, the Red Mountain Castle was also dilapidated, and the population of Wusun became smaller and smaller, and the city walls became more and more dilapidated, and finally even collapsed, and it was formed by rammed earth.

Zhao Ziliang said and looked at Liang Qi again, Liang Qi arched his hand and said: "General, when his subordinates led his troops to the frozen city, they were found by the wolf of the frozen city, Murong Chenggong closed the city gate and did not come out, and the last general could not attack, so he could only use a strategy, let the lieutenant take some people to camp and forge the camp tent of five thousand cavalry and the momentum caused by five thousand cavalry, Murong Chenggong and the defenders in the city believed it to be true, and under the persecution of his subordinates, Murong Chenggong led his troops to surrender, and his subordinates did not lose a single soldier!" This time, the subordinates did not seize the spoils of war, nor did they surrender the prisoners, and the subordinates also took the initiative to let Murong Chenggong continue to serve as the wolf lord of the frozen city, and asked the general to surrender! However, this time, Murong Chenggong also came with two hundred cavalry and his subordinates! ”

"Condemnation? Why did General Ben condemn him? Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically, and said, "You do a good job!" If you do too well, the soldier who surrenders without a fight is the highest level of the art of war, remember your great achievement, and reward and promote your appointment after the end of this war! ”

Zhao Ziliang's words made others envious, and before the battle was over, Zhao Ziliang made a promise to Liang Qi, which shows how much he values Liang Qi.

Liang Qi hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, general, my subordinates will definitely make persistent efforts in the future!" ”

"Good!"

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the generals on the left and right: "Send an order to Wei Meng, let him lead the army to stop and garrison in the broken branch city, and you must not leave without this general's order!" In addition, General Ben has decided to leave for Shattered Leaf City tonight and attack Shattered Leaf City! ”

"Ahh The generals were shocked when they heard this, everyone didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to suddenly make such a decision, it's still early before August 15, don't be in such a hurry, right? Besides, there are tens of thousands of turist cavalry in Broken Leaf City, and just these two or three thousand of them are going to attack Broken Leaf Town? Isn't this a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, general?

Zhao Ziliang's eyes glared: "Don't talk nonsense, after dinner, the whole army lit torches and set off for Broken Leaf Town, all for General Ben to prepare!" ”

The generals had to salute collectively: "No! (To be continued.) )
