The nineteenth round: was robbed of merit and swallowed his anger, and Tanliangzhou Red attacked
From today onwards, the next nine episodes can be regarded as one of the small climaxes of this first volume of "The Road to Dream Casting", focusing on telling you about the battle of Tang Dynasty to destroy Tuyuhun. reproduces the demeanor of famous generals such as Li Jing and Li Daozong, and it is through the wonderful display of these famous generals that Wang Xuance has experienced more methods of marching and arranging formations in practice. The following is the text~
Rising and falling, flowers blooming, and several days and nights of siege; However, this Liangzhou City is still firmly in the hands of Li Daozong, standing alone between Qingshan and Xiongguan. Under the bath of the remnant sun and wind and sand, there are more feelings of years in the desolation!
Although they had been marching rapidly for many days, with the rotation of these five thousand military horses, these soldiers still seemed to be in good spirits and extraordinary. Seeing that he rushed to the city of Liangzhou one day earlier than the scheduled date, Li Jingheng was also very happy! Then he raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Enter the city!" "These five thousand lightly armed cavalry have rushed into Liangzhou City!
Looking at the still prosperous and stable city of Liangzhou, the hanging hearts of these soldiers finally let go; Although it is very hard to come along the way, but with enough spirit, you can also fight hard to kill the enemy, earn land for your family and make meritorious contributions to the country! So, these 5,000 people and 10,000 horses arrived at the school's military ground to be inspected by Li Daozong. Looking at these ironclad soldiers, Li Daozong was very pleased, this victory was more certain!
Under Li Daozong's heartfelt and passionate encouragement, these 5,000 soldiers were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their morale was high. After the review, this Li Jingheng followed his father and the lieutenant under the tent into the commander's tent. In fact, in Li Daozong's heart, it doesn't matter whether these 5,000 soldiers come or not; His real purpose is just to experience this Li Jingheng, who has not yet had the slightest military exploits!
When he saw that each of the 5,000 male soldiers was two war horses, Li Daozong already had a lot of doubts, where did this extra one come from! With doubts, I asked them!
And Chen Lei, who is good at greeting, took the lead and gave Li Daozong all kinds of problems encountered in these days one by one: "Marshal, this time I waved my army to Liangzhou, and in a few days, I encountered a rare autumn flood in a century, and the army was blocked in Chenjiahe; There is a shortage of military rations, and it is difficult to move an inch! It was the general who skillfully used the people's strength, used official boats to enable us to cross the river smoothly, and replaced the grain through the people who built the city, so as to solve the problem of military food shortage. Faced with the exhaustion of the rapid march, the general sent someone to borrow 5,000 good horses from the Turkic horse farm. Although this road was difficult, under the planning of the general, step by step, the disaster became auspicious. Being able to arrive at this Liangzhou City one day ahead of schedule is all due to the general's strategy! ”
Li Daozong, who listened to these words, was stunned. I didn't expect them to encounter so many problems along the way; I never thought that this son, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, could get such glory; I never thought that he could borrow 5,000 good horses from the Turkic horse farm!
Li Jingheng listened to Chen Lei's narration, and his scalp was a little numb in an instant. He understands that this is all the credit of Wang Xuance, without Wang Xuance, they don't know where it is at the moment, but this Chen Lei actually planted all the credit on him! In the interval between his narration, Li Jingheng motioned for him to say less, but Chen Lei only smiled at him and continued to talk to Li Daozong!
All the lieutenants, when they heard Chen Lei's words, they all instantly understood his intentions. is either echoed by the voice, or guided by the side, proving Li Jingheng's strategy and intelligence!
Seeing everyone's words, Li Daozong, who was a little puzzled, believed it and couldn't stop praising this son. After a lot of beautiful words, Li Jingheng who listened to it was very useful. With the praise of the captains and the praise of his father, Li Jingheng thought about it and accepted it calmly. Then he said modestly with the icing on the cake: "All this is because my father has managed the army well, and it is also blessed by the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the sons and daughters dare not be greedy for merit." ”
Listening to Li Jingheng's modest words, Li Daozong patted him on the shoulder, and deeply felt that this child had indeed grown up, understood humility, and even more learned not to be greedy for merit, which was like himself!
Life is exactly like this, when an ordinary person suddenly does a few earth-shattering things, it will give people a feeling that he is really great. At this time, Li Jingheng gave Li Daozong the feeling that this was exactly the case, because of the usual ordinary, he could show off his current "glory" even more.
With a "scattered account", all the generals and colonels withdrew from the tent in turn. Chen Lei also followed this Li Jingheng closely and came out of the handsome account. But seeing that Li Jingheng was a little "complaining" and unbearable, he whispered to him: "Why did you say to your father like this, it seems that these credits should also be given to Wang Xuance, after all, this is all his planned attention!" ”
Chen Lei replied casually: "Big brother, you are too worried, this Wang Xuance is a team, no matter how capable he is, he is only a soldier, and the general is a general after all, not to mention that it is also under the leadership of the eldest brother that he has made such a meritorious achievement, and he deserves a share of the eldest brother!" Then he changed his words and said, "That's it! If the eldest brother feels unfair, why don't you reward him with some gold and silver, and let him bring an extra team of soldiers? Li Jingheng also felt that this method was more appropriate, so he agreed!
With just a cup of tea, the two came to his camp, and Wang Xuance immediately put down the military book in his hand and bowed to the two of them with a military salute! As soon as Li Jingheng saw that what he was reading was actually "The Book of Soldiers", he casually boasted: "Brother Xian is really extraordinary, do a good job!" The future is really limitless, and my father was still praising you just now! ”
When Wang Xuance heard this, he immediately returned modestly, "The general is a general, thank you for the prince's praise!" It's just a matter of flipping through it when you have nothing to do."
"The credit for this march was given to my father just now. Not only did your father praise you, but he also rewarded you with a double team, plus ten taels of gold. From this day onwards, you will be able to lead three hundred soldiers," he said, and with a wave of his hand, he saw a small soldier bring in all the gold!
"Thank you marshal for your love," Wang Xuance quickly knelt down and thanked him. After a ceremony of greetings and praises, Li Jingheng and Chen Lei got up proudly to say goodbye. And the fledgling Wang Xuance didn't have much feeling for such a reward, and he didn't know that he was robbed of the credit in an instant. With some relief, he continued to look through his military book.
A few days later, Wang Xuance was in the midst of the soldiers' discussions, and Fang knew that he had been robbed of his credit. All this is grossly unfair to him, but what can it be; He really wanted to theorize, but reason told him that he couldn't fight, after all, he was weak at the moment! Recalling what Snow Goose once said, be careful of this big brother, but in the end he was still calculated by him.
From this moment, he also understood his personality thoroughly. In that case, then take a step back and open the sky, after all, there is still a long way to go! The opportunities are all made by yourself, so you can do your best for the country in a down-to-earth manner, and I only hope that I can get rid of these villains as soon as possible, so I still endure it!
And Li Jingheng also told Chen Lei about his worries during the chat, what if Wang Xuance stabbed this matter to his father! Chen Lei then returned treacherously with a bit of cunning: "Big brother, don't worry, I have thought about this for you, it's okay if he doesn't go to explain to the prince, and the two sides are safe." If we go to the prince to judge, we will insist that he borrowed the horse only after your general's order; You must understand that without the strong national strength of my Datang to support him, how can he borrow it alone! What's more, he is in a good team, and he can't compete with the general like this! In the face of Chen Lei's analysis, Li Jingheng was also a lot more relieved!
Some things in the world of life are like this, and the fruits of our hard work have been inexplicably taken away by others. It seems that we don't need to fight when we are small, and only when we grow into giants do we not have to fear others picking the fruit. Of course, because of his own strength, he can't pick your fruit! And all of this requires continuous accumulation and continuous growth, and the only thing that can be done at present is to be strong! And such a belief has always been full of Wang Xuance's heart.
Although gold always shines, gold is often buried at the bottom. If you want gold to shine, it is not only to ignore it, but also to show your edge, so that others can understand you and know your piece of gold. Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have, I only hope that Wang Xuance's gold will not be buried permanently.
In the early winter, the outside of the fortress has long been shrouded in cold, and the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides have been fiercely launched in the weather dripping into ice. It was precisely because the Tang army could not stand the cold and could not go on an expedition in the autumn and winter, so it planned to cut off the Hexi Corridor and plunder the Tang Dynasty. But I never thought that this Liangzhou City was so strong, and the momentum of breaking through a bamboo came to an abrupt end here! Coupled with the defense of the world-famous general Li Daozong, the two sides have always been evenly matched, and no one can help anyone, so they entered a war of attrition.
Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin, it was precisely because of Tuyuhun's several harassments that he made up his mind that he must not stop doing it like before. It is necessary to teach Fuyun Khan a great lesson, and it is best to decide the outcome in a battle; That's why all localities were strictly ordered to secretly deploy troops to prepare for this final decisive battle. With the arrival of armies from all walks of life, the balance of this war is tilting towards the Tang Dynasty. And the Tuyuhun army was still immersed in the joy of the past, thinking that if it continued to be consumed like this, and it was still winter, the supply of the Tang army would be more difficult, and it would retreat back to the country as before. But what they didn't expect was that in the face of the Tang Dynasty, which was fighting hard with the strength of the whole country, they seemed to have really miscalculated this time.
Where there is war, there is naturally victory and defeat! In the face of an enemy weaker than you, if you don't use your tactics properly, you will still be defeated. In the face of an enemy who is several times stronger than yourself, as long as the tactics are used properly, victory will not be far from you!
Outside Liangzhou City, the Tianzhu King in Tugu Hunshuai's tent was still the same as usual, and the freshly stewed mutton was on the table. Since childhood, I like to eat this fresh mutton; This is true even in winter, when it is very cold and not easy to let go rancid. At this moment, the Tianzhu King didn't seem to know enough about the Tang Army in Liangzhou City, and he always thought that they were about to be unable to support it. And all this is thanks to Li Daozong's secrecy work!
I saw a spy, shrunken his shoulders, mixed with the severe cold, and hurriedly entered the handsome tent to report: "General, the Tang army seems to have increased some cavalry these days, and last night sent a small group of spies to go deep into the hinterland of Liangzhou, and found that there were a lot more horses!" ”
The Heavenly Pillar King seemed to have a premonition of a hint of foreboding. He stopped cutting meat, put down the knife in his hand, and then asked, "How much has it increased?" I heard the spy then reply: "It has been verified, according to the amount of horse manure, there should be more than 10,000 horses!" The King of the Heavenly Pillar fell into thought, and after a while, he passed the order to go, asking the generals to come quickly and discuss the military situation.
After a while, all the generals also came to the handsome tent of the Heavenly Pillar King. Hearing that the generals had not yet eaten breakfast, they were asked to sit around the fire and divide the freshly cooked mutton in the ranks! I only heard him and the generals talking while eating: "In the morning, the spies came to report that there were 10,000 cavalry added to this Liangzhou city, it seems that this Li Daozong is going to fight us to the end!" I don't know what the rank is! ”
But I saw that there was a burly general sitting on this side, in his forties, with a dark face, which had already been bathed in the sun on the plateau. Dressed in a thick fur outfit, coupled with the posture of a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes are bright, he looks like a real warrior on the grassland. He is this Tuyuhun famous general Murong Red, who has experienced more than 50 battles, winning more and losing less. I saw him frown, and after a little thought, he said: "If this news is true, then it is a sign that the Tang army will hold on." Therefore, I feel that we should continue to increase our efforts to find out the truth, know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and plan a way to deal with it! This Murong Red's words are also a good policy. After all, there is no sloppiness in the stalemate stage!
And a fierce general next to him gulped the mutton, drank the scalded rice wine in a big bowl, and returned with a big grin: "Since I don't know the truth or falsehood, and it takes time to investigate, I feel that I should attack as soon as possible and catch him off guard." Only in this way can we let Li Daozong, an old horseman, understand our strength and retreat without a fight" The person who said such words is named Murong Lei Leopard, and he is also a fierce general, and he is the younger brother of Murong Leide!
After a brief thought, King Tianzhu felt that what the two said was reasonable, and immediately gave an order: on the one hand, additional spies were sent to carefully investigate the reality of the Tang army; On the other hand, the fierce soldiers are ready to challenge Li Daozong again.
The Tang army in Liangzhou City, after these days of rest, the war horses have also accumulated strength, and the soldiers have also raised their spirits! Just wait for an order to strike at any time! Li Daozong, who has always been very strict in secrecy, why would he let the Tuyuhun spies find out that he had 10,000 more cavalry. It turned out that all this was a stumbling block deliberately made by him, and it was precisely in order to test the reality of the other party that he made this move!
With his eyes on the Tang army marshal's tent, he saw a small colonel half-kneeling in front of the handsome case, and reported loudly: Marshal, today I found that the number of Tuyuhun spies has increased a lot, and I have been investigating the reality of our army in many ways!
Li Daozong immediately smiled, feeling that the plan seemed to have worked. Therefore, the order went on: "Continue to do a good job of secrecy, and don't let Tuyuhun get any more news!" "Since the number of spies has increased, it means that the Heavenly Pillar King has fallen into a stumbling block caused by himself. Li Daozong, who was pacing this square step in the handsome tent, was like a tiger, waiting for this right moment to give this Tuyuhun a fatal blow!
As the spies dispersed, news came back from time to time. Some of them work, some of them are still useless. In Tuyu Hunshuai's tent, he only heard Murong Lei De discuss with the Tianzhu King: "Through these news, it seems that Li Daozong's increase in troops is indeed undoubted, and it is still unknown how much. Since we can't get the exact number, in order to avoid being passive, we should take the initiative again. This battle can only be won but not defeated, and the spirit of the Tang Army will be frustrated, and the truth will be explored! ”
The two hit it off. Murong Red then decided to personally lead the troops forward. In this way, the king of Tianzhu gave the order to let the soldiers prepare for battle after they had eaten and drunk enough. But seeing that this rather clever Tianzhu King said this or that in Murong Red's ear, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they had to order the account to get ready to go! As a result, the balance of the two sides was gradually loosened!
The winter sun is hanging overhead, and there is a slight warmth. After being full of wine and food, Murong Leide personally ordered 5,000 elite soldiers and marched towards Liangzhou City. Once again, I looked at this Liangzhou city from afar, attacked countless places, and spent several generations of hard work, lost and gained, gained and lost, and went back and forth for hundreds of years. Today, it has been taken back by the Tang Dynasty for decades, and I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I really want to return to the supreme glory of my ancestors and make another contribution to the country! Thinking of this, he was suddenly refreshed and full of energy, at this moment he was figuring out the strategy of the Heavenly Pillar King, killing the Tang Army's sharp spirit, and the belief in victory echoed in his heart for a long time!
When Tuyuhun had just dispatched here, there was already a junior colonel in Li Daozong's handsome tent in Liangzhou City: "Tuyuhun sent out 5,000 cavalry and rolled towards Liangzhou City."
The tense atmosphere suddenly rises... Life and death are in between......
