Chapter Nine: The Unsold Intention of Holding the Sword (10)

The city of Liangzhou has been hung with the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wang Sunchen's general flag is also hanging high above the city.

Since the division of troops in Lanzhou, the biggest problem that has plagued Wang Sunchen's 6,000 troops is only geography. There were more than 500 injuries and illnesses caused by crossing the Hongchi Ridge [Wusheling Ridge], almost all of them were frostbite, and the attack on Liangzhou and the walled forts along the way were only more than 200 casualties.

Along the way, Wang Sunchen's troops killed no more than 1,000 enemy troops, but with 6,000 troops, they captured Liangzhou, an important town in Hexi, which is a happy event worth celebrating.

Such a record, with so much attrition in non-combat attrition, is also thanks to Wang Sunsin's fame.

Wang Sunchen is guilty of meritorious service, and he is simply white, but when he stops in front of the army, who dares to jump out and blow up the stab? The backstage is as hard as iron, and if he makes such a big mistake, he can still come back to lead the army, Qin Feng and Xihe, which one of them will not let him score three points.

Moreover, Wang Sunsin himself had superb archery skills, had past achievements, and had a very high prestige in the army, and no one dared to disobey his orders. After successfully capturing Liangzhou City, it is even more true.

At this time, Wang Sunsin was returning from the military camp to the mansion he occupied as a foothold. A middle-aged staff member accompanied him, not amazing, but with a kind face, it was easy for people to feel close.

"The fourteen tribes of Tubo, the six families of the Han people, and the chieftains of the clan have all agreed, as long as the general still wants to go west, they are all willing to participate in the grand event."

"It's almost the joint force of all the big families in Liangzhou, and the Guiyi Army was no different." Wang Sunsin muttered to himself.

Zhang Yichao, who led the return of Hexi to the east in the old Tang Dynasty, was not well-known in the Great Song Dynasty, but in the folk of Hexi and Longxi, it was like thunder.

In the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was in decline, and Tubo took the opportunity to occupy Hexi in one fell swoop. Tubo lasted for nearly a hundred years in Hexi, and after reaching its peak, there was finally a Zhang Yichao.

The power under Zhang Yichao's command was recovered one by one after the hardships and dangers, and now Minzhou and Hezhou, which are occupied by Mu Zheng and others, have been recovered by Zhang Yichao. After that, it was a week to fight the Dazhou around Hexi, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, after the death of Zhang Yichao, his son-in-law Suo Xun seized the throne, and the strength of the Guiyi army declined greatly, until now in the hands of the Ganzhou Uighurs and the Tubo.

Zhang Yichao's character, Wang Sunchen heard his story and admired it, he was trapped in captivity, but he was able to kill and return to Han, and he couldn't do it unless he was a big husband.

But Wang Sunchen had enough admiration for Zhang Yichao, and when he didn't have to, he looked back at his staff, "No wonder I heard Feng Si say that Feng Yuan's nickname is left and right, and you can get familiar with it wherever you go." ”

"It's a burden of names." Feng Yuan smiled bitterly, "Actually, the villain's popularity is only the four words of harmony and wealth, and other shopkeepers will not be worse than villains, but they are not called Feng Yuan." ”

Feng Yuan is not related to Feng Congyi, nor is he Feng Congyi's family, but he just happens to be surnamed Feng. In SF Express, he is one of the big leaders who are responsible for opening up territory. He would follow Wang Sunchen to the west, and it was on Feng Congyi's order to open up a new route to Hexi.

After half a month, Wang Sunchen felt that this one was very useful, compared to the sour Ding who wrote a recital for him, his mind, knowledge, and courage were all first-class, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient for him to dig the corner of Han Gang and Feng Congyi. Moreover, Feng Yuan's level of supervisor has a dividend of as little as one or two thousand and as much as three or five thousand yuan every year, which is higher than that of the prime minister and bachelor, and it is impossible to eat chaff with him.

"Well, don't be modest. It's been a great help these days. There are a lot of places to borrow from you. When this battle is over, add your name to the good news. Wang Sunchen praised Feng Yuan twice, and gave a benefit without hesitation.

Feng Yuan smiled slightly, and expressed his gratitude to Wang Sunchen calmly, but he did not take the official position he promised to heart.

Wang Sunchen didn't plan to dig the foot of the wall, and mentioning it would represent his intentions, so there was no need to say anything. He said excitedly, "Haven't you told me what kind of gift it is?" ”

Feng Yuan didn't answer, but when he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and pointed his hand forward: "General, please look!" ”

Wang Sunchen glanced casually, and when he saw the gift in the courtyard, he couldn't take his eyes off it

His eyes lit up in an instant, and his breathing became heavy. His throat was dry, like a burn, and like a fish being hung ashore, his lips closed together, but he didn't know what to say.

He was shocked even more than he was when he saw a beautiful woman.

It was only a horse that appeared in front of Wang Sunsin.

But the horse was more than five feet tall at the shoulder, almost on par with the modest Wang Sunchen. His eyes are clear, and he looks very intelligent and spiritual. The hooves are slender, the back is curved, the hips are strong and powerful, and the pale golden fur is as shiny as brocade.

The horse standing in the courtyard is like a jewel, radiating a seductive light.

Wang Sunchen was dazzled and fascinated, such a miraculous dragon horse is as beautiful as a stunning beauty, and it is difficult to buy ten thousand gold, so you have to measure the pearl and return! In comparison, the four-foot-seven-inch Hexi Wuqi that he has always regarded as a treasure is a bargain for ten cents once in his private house.

Wang Sunchen cautiously approached the BMW, trying not to make it feel threatened, and asked Feng Yuan in a low voice: "What kind of horse is this?" Big Eater Horse or Big Wan Horse?! ”

"It's Dawanma. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once exchanged the golden horse for the sweat and blood horse that he could not get, which is one of the Dawan horses. ”

Wang Sunchen's eyes lit up, burning like a morning star: "Is it really sweat like blood?!" He turned his head to reach out and stroke the brocade fur.

Before he could reach out his hand, the Dawan horse snorted, and a hot breath sprayed at Wang Sunchen's face, and then raised his head and hoofed, disliking Wang Sunchen's approach.

Feng Yuan saw Wang Sunchen immediately withdraw his hand, looking cautious, looking like he was afraid of scaring it. He smiled knowingly, "This one doesn't seem to have one." However, looking at the appearance, you can know that the road is by no means ordinary, and the sweat and blood BMW is no different. ”

"Indeed." Wang Sunchen looked down at the lower part of the house, "It's a mother, a horse...... Good temperament. It's a pity it's a horse! ”

Wang Sunsin has no regrets, if only the stallion were good. A single mare cannot leave a good offspring, and after a generation or two, it will be lost to everyone.

Feng Yuan also agreed with Wang Sunchen's opinion: "Such a high-grade dragon horse, even if it is used to breed with Hexi horses, is too wasteful, and it is more heart-wrenching than arranging flowers on cow dung." But if you don't have a castrated horse, the price is sky-high."

"It doesn't matter how much he wants, it's worth going bankrupt. Whether it's a horse or a peony horse. Wang Sunchen laughed loudly, "How much is this horse?!" "He's mentally prepared.

"It doesn't cost a penny." Feng Yuan shook his head.

The excitement and eagerness on Wang Sunsin's face faded little by little, and only a calm and shrewd light flickered in his pupils: "Oh, who is so generous? ”

"It was Pan Luozheng who offered this horse, and he was a big family in Liangzhou City, and he also had a tribe outside the city. Two hundred cavalry can be pulled out at any time. ”

"He can afford this horse?" Wang Sunchen didn't believe it, the small Tibetan tribe couldn't keep such a BMW.

"The original owner is naturally not him," Feng Yuan's smile was meaningful: "It is owned by the big food merchant who lives in his house." However, when the official army was attacking the city a few days ago, the big food merchant was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow......"

"Stray arrows? …… What a stray arrow! The corners of Wang Sunsin's lips curled, revealing a smile that knew his heart, "Continue to ......"

"Because this horse is already ownerless, it is natural to let Pan Luo Zheng dispose of it."

"Wait!" Wang Sunsin found that there was a big problem here: "The big food merchant will not go out to trade alone, what about his caravan?" ,”

"It's all stray arrows." Feng Yuan's face was very serious, "Regarding this, Pan Luozheng didn't say anything, and the villain didn't ask in detail, that is, he checked it easily, but it is not difficult." ”

"It's easy to get things done." I don't know who Wang Sunsin's comment was for.

Feng Yuan didn't guess much: "Because of all kinds of unfortunate accidents, this horse fell into the hands of Pan Luozheng." He wanted to dedicate it to the general, but he was afraid that it would be reported layer by layer, and he would be greedy for ink in the middle, and then he also let him fall for the arrow. So he entrusted the villain to him, and it was the general who promoted the villain, which made him take a fancy to him. ”

Wang Sunchen didn't need to think about it to know that Pan Luozheng must have something to ask for: "What does he want?" ”

"The general must have heard of Panroch, right?"

Wang Sunchen's eyes suddenly sharpened: "He is a descendant of Pan Luozhi?" Could it be that they are preparing to re-establish the Six Valleys Alliance?! Didn't the Six Valleys Alliance kill the party members almost? ”

The three successive questions reflect Wang Sunsin's understanding of Hexi. It also made Feng Yuan not have to explain too much ins and outs: "There are many people from the Liugu Department under Dong Yu's command, all of whom fled after Liangzhou was conquered by Yuan Hao's army in the old days. Moreover, Yuan Hao also let go in Ganzhou back then, and did not be as ruthless as in Liangzhou, so that Liugubu retained a lot of vitality. ”

The Rokuya Department or the Rokuya Alliance has never been a deferential role, and the predecessor of the Rokuya Department also contributed to the destruction of the Guiyi Army. Li Jiqian, the Taizu of Western Xia, died in the conquest of the Six Valleys. After that, his son Li Deming attacked several times in vain, but later he was attacked by his ally Ganzhou Uighurs, which greatly damaged his vitality, and finally let Li Yuanhao pick up a cheap one.

"Horses, I took them on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how many days he raised these horses, and counted the forage money to him." Wang Sunchen knows what kind of principles must be adhered to to the end, "Tell Pan Luozheng that honestly becoming a big Song Shunmin will have their own benefits." ”

"It's just a Six Valleys Alliance."

"If there is an alliance, there is a different heart! It's just that a hundred people are too many. Look at Dong Yu, he is dignified and praised, and now he still doesn't honestly listen to the orders of the imperial court?! What is the need to rebuild the Six Valleys Alliance? The Guiyi Army is the one who should be rebuilt! ”

"The Guiyi army has lost a lot, and there are very few Han people in Liangzhou, but there are more Han people in Shazhou and Ganzhou." Feng Yuandao, "In fact, most of the Han people in Hexi have changed the customs of the Tubo people, so the Guiyi Army, which was once isolated in the west and was still bent on maintaining Han unification, has long been scattered. ”

"I remember that the third brother once said that if you enter China, you will be Huaxia, and if you enter Yidi, you will be Yidi. was originally a Han Chinese, forgetting his ancestors, and now he is Yidi. ”

Wang Sunchen wanted to guard the seat of Hexi. From a geographical point of view, Hexi and Xihe have obvious geographical separation, and the connection is not close. When the battle settles down, maybe there will be another road here. If you can take all the land west of the river, if you are lucky, a deputy governor, and a short term of governorship is indispensable. But if only Liangzhou is taken, then under the suppression of the generals who attacked Western Xia, maybe a capital prison will be sent - over there, this side is Liangzhou, and it can't be compared.
