Chapter 519: Soldiers to Xiqiang
Qiang tribes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In a forest canyon, among the two mountains, Xiao Chenglong's royal tent is located here.
The terrain here is really special, the vast grassland, there is such a canyon, and you can get in, it is difficult to get out, just like a gourd, the hole is small, and the inside is big.
In Xiao Chenglong's royal tent, more than a dozen grassland children gathered, drank wine and ate meat.
These people are the leaders of all parties of the Qiang tribe, each of them has a little soldiers and horses, controlling the people of one party, and under the rule of Xiao Chenglong, they formed a huge Qiang army.
In addition to these people, in the position of the chief on the left, there was also a young man with clear eyebrows and unfathomable eyes.
This person is Xiao Chenglong's military advisor, Dong Fan.
"Dong Junshi, I am really heartbroken for the failure of this southern expedition, so many of my sons, as well as war horses, have been broken by the enemy, alas... If I don't take revenge, I won't be able to sleep. ”
Xiao Chenglong took a sip of wine and said angrily.
At the thought of the more than 20,000 brothers who had died in battle, the atmosphere in the tent fell silent, and the chiefs began to discuss.
Dong Fan said: "The reason for the failure of this southern expedition is that we are not good at attacking the city, and in the face of the strong Yanmen Pass, we cannot break through in the short term. ”
"Great King, if you want to go south to expand my Xiqiang, you must let the clansmen learn to attack the city, not blindly attack, otherwise, there will be a second time for this kind of thing."
On the right hand, a leader said: "Alas, I don't think it's better to attack Xiliang, it's better to fight the snow region, there are no soldiers and horses in the snow region, I only need 3,000 cavalry, I can capture it." ”
The crowd rolled their eyes.
Xiao Chenglong said: "What are you doing in that barren land of ice and snow?" They didn't have anything to eat, so they relied on digging for some gold and silver in exchange for grain in the Central Plains, so I didn't help them raise food. ”
Dong Fan smiled: "Yes, it is easy to capture the snow region, but it is too difficult to manage, and it is really useless for us." ”
"If you want to attack, you have to enter the Central Plains, and only by entering the Central Plains can we completely solve the problem of food shortage in our Xiqiang."
"Strategist, what plan do you have?"
Xiao Chenglong asked.
Dong Fan said: "The king, the minister has just said that if you want to march south, you have to let the sons learn to attack the city." I think... It is better to let the sons and daughters temporarily build an earthen city, let them train every day, train 20,000 foot soldiers, and when they go south in the future, it will definitely come in handy. ”
"Well, yes, yes, I think this plan works."
Xiao Chenglong thought about it and immediately agreed.
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a soldier walked in: "The king..." ”
"What's the matter?"
The soldier said: "Two hundred miles away, I found the Xiliang soldiers." ”
Oh?
Everyone stood up, looking shocked.
One of the leaders asked, "How many?" ”
The soldier replied: "It's not clear, about tens of thousands.... ”
Hiss...
Everyone gasped, tens of thousands of troops entered Xiqiang, but they didn't notice it, and they didn't come to report until they entered the hinterland.
The leader said, "If you don't know, go and investigate, and then report if you find out." ”
"Yes."
The soldiers retreated.
"How can this be true? This Luo Yi is also too deceitful, I didn't go to him, he found me first! Xiao Chenglong slapped the table hard and said angrily.
"The king is angry, the enemy is looking for death!"
Dong Fan said: "Here, we are the king!" Do their iron horsemen have the elite of my Xiqiang Erlang? Are they familiar with our territory? I think they won't even be able to find their way, right? ”
"That's right..."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The leaders of the Qiang people next to them all nodded one after another, here, what are they afraid of, just gather thousands of people, it is enough for the enemy to suffer.
And they are extremely familiar with the terrain and are quite capable of annihilating the enemy on the move.
Xiao Chenglong suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Okay, then let's give them some color." ”
"Now in this valley, there are 8,000 iron horsemen, a few of you, come with me, take these sons and daughters, and completely expel the enemy!" Saying that, Xiao Chenglong stood up.
Dong Fan hurriedly stopped him and said, "King, although we have the right time and place, we can't underestimate the enemy.... ”
"And what do you want?"
One of the leaders said, "Sir, if you have any plan, just say it, and as long as it makes sense, we will obey." ”
Dong Fan thought for a while and said: "That's the case, I think that the enemy is not familiar with the terrain of my Xiqiang, they must have come to our hinterland by mistake, maybe even they don't know, the position two hundred miles ahead is our king's tent." I mean, until they find out about us, let's not act rashly, and all the leaders go back to their tribes, and immediately gather all the people over sixteen and under fifty, and then assemble here, and when we are strong, we will fight them. At that time, hum, we will be like Mount Tai pressing on the top, like a storm rolling leaves, can Luo Yi's tens of thousands of Longxi troops withstand it? ”
"It's... It's too much trouble, right? Xiao Chenglong said: "This will take at least more than a month, how can I wait so long, besides, by that time, the enemy will have already discovered us." ”
Dong Fan's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "King, isn't it good to find out, if they find out, the king can lead the army to fight back and fight them to the death!" ”
Under Dong Fan's repeated persuasion, Xiao Chenglong finally adopted his opinion.
Xiao Chenglong looked at the rest of the people in the tent and said: "I heard it, just do what the military advisor said, a few of you, all go back to your clan, gather soldiers and horses, and go here to meet, and I will immediately give an order to the nearby clansmen to form another cavalry." ”
"I don't believe it, I have tens of thousands of sons, and I am not as good as tens of thousands of people in Longxi."
Dong Fan sighed and shouted, "The king is wise." ”
"The king is wise."
The crowd responded.
Immediately afterwards, everyone dispersed, and according to Dong Fan's strategy, they went to gather the clansmen and prepare for pre-war matters.
At this time, two hundred miles away, Luo Tong had ordered the Western Expedition to stop and ordered to camp on the spot.
But in this ghost place, even trees are rarely seen, and the camping is also very simple, only some items brought with him, which are temporarily erected, just like a refugee camp.
With a map in his hand, he went outside the camp and looked around, but he couldn't figure it out.
"In this hellish place, the Qiang people really live..."
As Dong Fan had predicted, Luo Tong's army, not long after entering the territory of Xiqiang, got lost and could not find its place at all.
According to the original plan, it was originally divided into several towns and several areas, but it can be seen on the map, but in reality, it is not the case, the scene is the same everywhere, and there are no special signs.
