After entering the settlement of the Pčeneg Zou headquarters, many herdsmen and peasants came out of their tents to watch, and two groups of ironclad cavalry lined up in honor guards, leaving a road in the middle that led to the place where the sweat tent was. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The army began to stop in the camp of Zou headquarters, Zhao Ziliang and other leaders of the Khan King rode horses from the passage in the middle of the ironclad cavalry and walked forward, Zhao Ziliang rode his horse while looking at the ironclad cavalry on both sides, everyone quickly stopped outside the sweat tent, dismounted and walked into the sweat tent, Zhao Ziliang was invited to the main seat by the leader of the Zou headquarters Badasi, and the others sat on both sides.

As the wine and meat were brought in, a few young girls from Zou Honbu opened their bellies and danced to the accompaniment of ancient musical instruments.

From time to time, the dancing girls danced to Zhao Ziliang and the other khan leaders sitting on the throne, and tried their best to tease them, hoping to be favored by Zhao Ziliang and other khan leaders, so as to achieve the goal of climbing the high branches and soaring.

Ba Dasi saw that Zhao Ziliang was particularly interested in these dancing girls, so he asked with a smile: "King, these are the most beautiful girls in my Zou headquarters, if the king is interested, Xiao Khan can arrange for them to sleep for the king tonight!" ”

For beauty, of course Zhao Ziliang likes, but he has a strong sense of control, for this strange environment, and it is a strange woman of foreign race, Zhao Ziliang immediately became vigilant, he remembered the death of the Hun King Attila in history, when the Hun King Attila led his people to sweep the Western world, and fought the Eastern and Western Roman Empires every year to pay tribute, although he was defeated in the final battle, but his vitality was not damaged, and it was rumored that he was poisoned by his newly married foreign wife, which accounted for the majority.

Zhao Ziliang didn't want to repeat Attila's mistakes, even if he wanted to sleep with a woman, he would sleep safely and securely, this time he went on the expedition, Wang Zhiyun, Yang Yuhuan and Nie Sanniang waited with the army, and there were some maids, so he was not short of women.

Listening to Ba Dasi's question, Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "The girls in Zou Headquarters are indeed beautiful, and this king also likes them very much!" Thanks to the kindness of the leader of Badath and the tribesmen of Zouben, but the king has been marching for days, and he is a little tired, and he wants to rest well, so these beautiful girls should stay and reward those brave warriors! If the warriors could get such a beautiful woman as a wife, they would surely fight even more fiercely to the death, Leader of Badath, not only you, but also this king needs more warriors, what do you say? ”

Although Zhao Ziliang refused, his words were very good, and Ba Dasi was not only not secretly angry, but also very happy, and hurriedly smiled: "What the king said is very true, according to what the king said, reward them to the brave warriors in battle!" ”

After the girls finished dancing, they retreated, and the leaders and khans drank and chatted, talking about how to march and fight, and Zhao Ziliang said at this time: "Leader of Badasi, just now this king saw two columns of ironclad cavalry outside the tent, I don't know how many people and horses?" ”

Listening to Zhao Ziliang's question, Ba Dasi said with great pride: "King, this is Xiao Khan's personal guard iron horse, a total of 1,000 horses, everyone can use one as ten, it is Xiao Khan's housekeeping capital!" In the battle with the Khazars three years ago, the little Khan defeated the five thousand elite horsemen of the Khazar with this thousand horsemen! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Have such a record? ”

"Of course!" Bardath said without hesitation.

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Hearing you say this, this king really wants to see how their combat strength is, but you are talking about three years ago, presumably they have not experienced any more wars in the past three years, right?" How can you be sure that they are still fighting at the same strength as they were three years ago? Leader of Badath, you must know that the role of the army is not to decorate the façade, their role is to fight, and if they do not fight, they will gradually lose their combat power, and it is a waste for your thousand iron horsemen to stay in the sweat tent as a guard! This king thought that he must bring them with him in this attack on the Khazars, otherwise they will only be an ornament forever in the future! ”

The smile on Baddas's face froze, and he hesitated awkwardly for a while, but finally agreed: "Okay, since the king is optimistic about them, this time Xiao Khan will take them to attack the Khazars together!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the leader of the Ji Thorn Division, Kuoer Kotai, and Qu Zisi, the head of the Xuan Division, and asked: "I heard that the two leaders also have such ironclad cavalry under their commands, can they also bring together with the ironclad cavalry of the leader of Baddas to form a Pecheneg ironclad army?" ”

The words have been said so clearly, where do Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi still understand that Zhao Ziliang wants them to bring out the elite, and they can't just work and not make efforts! The two of them sighed secretly in their hearts, knowing that they couldn't hide if they wanted to, and scolded the eight ancestors of Badasi in their hearts.

Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi stood up and agreed: "I also have this intention, but I didn't expect the king to propose it first, and the king is really wise!" ”

Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Hahaha・・・・・・"

After drinking and eating, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Ziliang also returned to his own big tent in the camp of the Western Qin Army, just after the generals were deployed to deploy defense and patrol tasks, and after the generals left, Nie Sanniang walked in and asked: "I heard that the leader of Baddas wants to give you a few beauties, why don't you want it?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was embarrassed for a moment, took her hand and said, "How can those barbarian girls have the beauty and charm of Madame?" I always thought it would be better to be a lady, so I suggested that Baddas reward them to the brave warriors! ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid you've said this countless times to other sisters, right?" Nie Sanniang pushed him away, walked to the side, sat down, and said in a huff.

Zhao Ziliang's face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly: "How can there be!" ”

At this time, Zhao Lei walked in from the outside, saw that Nie Sanniang was also there, and hurriedly saluted: "Auntie is also here!" The child gave a gift to his father and aunt! ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Excuse me!" Do you have something? ”

Nie Sanniang couldn't stay in the big tent anymore, got up and said, "You father and son talk about things, I'll go first!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to her back: "Prepare the wine and food, I'll go to your tent tonight!" ”

Nie Sanniang heard this and hurriedly left.

Zhao Ziliang sat behind the desk and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk about it!" ”

Zhao Lei asked: "Father, the child knows that the matter of building a warship can not be completed in a short time, even if the warship is completed, most of the soldiers are not familiar with the water, and it is impossible to complete the sea-crossing landing operation without three or five months of training if you want to cross the sea, and by the time the Second Route Army can cross the sea to fight, the First Route Army on our side is afraid that the Khazar Khanate will have been destroyed long ago!" The father is a wise lord, it is impossible not to think of this, in this case, why does the father still have such a deployment? The child really can't figure it out! I've been thinking and meditating hard these days and can't figure it out, so I ask my father to solve my doubts! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction when he heard these words: "You can think of these questions, which means that you still use your brain!" Your question involves the next strategic purpose and deployment of our army, and it stands to reason that you can't say it casually, but since you asked, it's my son again, and I'll tell you about it as a father! You just need to know it yourself, and you should think about it in your head, and don't tell anyone about it! ”

"Thank you, father, the boy obeyed!"

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "In fact, it doesn't take 100,000 troops to attack a small Khazar Khanate, which is one of the reasons for dividing troops for my father!" The purpose of gathering the forces of the surrounding khanate and tribe is to strengthen the momentum, to promote the prestige and authority of the Western Qin royal court of our Tang Empire, and to let the people and people of all ethnic groups within a radius of thousands of miles know that this is our Tang Empire's Western Qin royal court is the master, and we are the masters here! If they violate us, they will be destroyed! However, there are many advantages to more soldiers and horses, but there are also many disadvantages! If it is all our Western Qin army, it is naturally more and more for the father to command, but half of the 100,000 army is a foreign army, although they promised to obey the order, and the father also believes that they should not violate the military order, but the military order needs someone to carry it out, and no matter how correct the command is, if the implementation is not proper or not in place, it will be in vain, if the consequences of delaying the fighter plane are unimaginable, the father left the Oghuz army, the Huathornzimo army and the Kipchak army in the second route army and let Zhao Hu stare at them, this is the second reason! The third reason is that Zhao Hu was left to lead the First, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Army Corps, the Oghuz Army, the Flower Thorn Zimo Army and the Kipchak Army to guard against the Great Cannibals, who have always been eyeing our Western Qin Land, and leaving the Second Route Army on the east coast of the Caspian Sea is also for deterrence, if the Great Cannibals do not agree to provide us with shipwrights or want to use force against us, the Second Route Army can turn the spearhead south to attack the Great Cannibal Country! Fourth, our Western Qin territories are inland, there is no access to the sea, which has a great restrictive effect on the development of our Western Qin, we want to develop more powerful must have an outlet to the sea, in the future we will go south to seize the coastal zone in the east of the Great Food Country or attack to the south of Tianzhu, with the sea mouth is not enough, but also must have, nautical talents, to have the construction of sea ships ship, take this opportunity we can also train a fleet to prepare for the future to have an outlet to the sea, this is a rainy day! The fifth reason for the division of troops was to restrain a part of the Khazar forces, so that they could not fight our First Route Army wholeheartedly; Sixth, the Oghuz and the Khaeuzm are our vassals and vassals, and they are extremely afraid of us and dare not mess around, but the Pechenegs and Kimaks are different, they may turn against the water at any time, and the Kipchaks and Kimaks have a close relationship, so my father put the Kipchaks in the Second Route Army, separated them from the Kimak Army, and prevented them from colluding and conspiring against our army! The Oghuz and the Khaeuzm have been our vassals over the years, and their population and strength are not strong, so they pose no threat to us, but the Kimak Khanate and the Pechenegs have a large army, and they are all cavalry, and they are much more threatening to us, and putting the Kimaks and Pechenegs in the first route army for the father is to consume their strength! As for the Kipchaks, they are a hungry wolf from the north, they are extremely brave, although there are not many of them, but they are all good at war, very aggressive, and the intention of the father is to subdue this hungry wolf, let it bite, and if it is not honest, then make it honest, afraid, and even afraid! In fact, the father is not in a hurry to solve the Khazars, even if this battle is fought for a year, it is no problem, although the government affairs Yuan has only allocated three or four months of military expenses, but we can't only rely on the rear supply when we go abroad, we must find a way to feed the war with war, if there is disobedience, it will be swept all the way, Pecheneg and three tribes are unwilling to surrender, unwilling to send troops, it is disrespectful to our Western Qin, as long as they are defeated, who else in the other khanates and tribes dares to disobey? Therefore, the fight against the Khazar Khanate is fake, and the destruction of the unsubdued tribes and khanates is the real one! This is the reason why the father let the Fifth Army fight the Kimak Khanate first, the father has wanted to fight it for a long time, but there is no excuse! This time is the right opportunity to solve all the unsatisfied tribes and khanates in the north! ”

Zhao Lei was shocked in his heart, how complicated is it to think about so many issues in a battle?
