"Great King, the Tubo people built a strong pass with huge stones in the Bayan Kala Pass, and Weichen led the army to attack for three days in a row, and more than 10,000 Tianzhu soldiers were killed and wounded and failed to attack the wall! The combat strength of those Tianzhu soldiers is so poor that even if Weichen personally supervised the battle and killed more than 200 soldiers who withdrew without authorization in a row, he couldn't drive them to continue to attack the city! Alas?????? Weichen is incompetent, please condemn the king! Xuan Jiu, who was covered in blood, knelt in front of Zhao Ziliang and pleaded guilty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ziliang touched his short beard and said to Xuan Jiu: "Since your unit has been fighting for three consecutive days, temporarily withdraw and rest for a few days!" Zamu, starting tomorrow, your troops will attack the pass on the mountain pass, divide your men into several groups, and attack one after another, although the pass is strong and steep, but the number of people stationed in it must not be large, even if you consume them, understand? ”

Zamu stood up and saluted and agreed: "Yes, the king, the minister understands!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Chen Qing and asked, "How is the situation on Ma Sui's side?" Where did it hit? ”

Chen Qing said: "It has reached the Yanze area, and the barbarian rebels in the Dafeichuan area are greatly terrified! Do you want to order Ma Sui to lead the army south to flank our army and attack the Tuosi Mabu? ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "No, I ordered Ma Sui to cooperate with Ma Lan and Bai Xiaode to flank the barbarian rebels!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Du Fu walked in at this time and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Great King, after the rebellious Lingwu army near Chang'an besieged Fengtian to no avail, it retreated all the way to Kuozhou under the leadership of its Taishou Yao Zhitong, there are signs that they have signs of alliance with the barbarian rebels, and the Tubo people who are in Tusima also seem to be interested in uniting with these two rebels!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang walked to the map, found the location of Kuozhou, thought for a moment and said: "Regardless of whether they are united or not, now the three of them are surrounded by our army and the Tang army, and they are already at an absolute disadvantage strategically, unless they have the ability to jump out of our encirclement, but even if they jump out of our encirclement, what if they are not chased by our army like a lost dog?" By the way, isn't this Yao Zhitong going to lead troops to Xiangyang to quell the chaos? Why did he personally run away with the rebels? ”

Du Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yao Zhitong was also coerced by the rebel generals, maybe there is no way, his family is in the army, and he can't agree to the rebels!" Now that Guo Ziyi has led his army to Jincheng, the emperor has sent Ge Shuzhen to lead the army to quell Li Zhongchen's rebellion! ”

On the second day of the first month of April, under the leadership and supervision of Zhamu, the Tubo servant army continued to attack the mountain pass every day, and attacked for five consecutive days, the servant army suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 12,000 people, and still did not break through the pass of the mountain pass, but the defenders of Tusi Ma who defended the pass also suffered many casualties, and the strength was greatly weakened.

After Zamu reported the situation to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Bei: "Since this is the case, continue to strengthen the offensive, starting tomorrow you will bring Tubo mercenaries to take over the siege of Zamu, this time you will not give them time to rest, and will attack day and night, each team will attack for an hour, and then change to another team, this king will not believe that those defenders who are out of thinking are iron men!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Starting from the third day of the fourth month, Zhao Bei personally supervised the battle, and the 80,000 Tubo mercenaries were divided into twelve echelons, each echelon attacked for one hour, and then changed to another echelon to continue the attack, so as to ensure that there were soldiers and horses attacking for twelve hours a day.

After two days of continuous attack, the defending Tusi Ma defenders finally could not withstand the fatigue and great mental pressure, and the Tubo mercenaries also climbed the pass city wall of the mountain pass under the leadership of Zhao Bei, and the Tusi Ma defenders were all annihilated.

"Hahaha?????? It seems that this fatigue tactic still works! When Zhao Ziliang heard that Zhao Bei had successfully captured the pass of Bayan Kala Pass, he was immediately overjoyed, and said to the generals and officials: "In the future, when we encounter this kind of danger, and our army has sufficient troops, we can consider using this tactic to break through!" Although the casualties were larger, the dead were all mercenaries and servant soldiers, and there was no need for a pension! ”

It can be seen that Zhao Ziliang still has a very different attitude towards the Standing Army, the servant army and the mercenaries of the Western Qin, he is very precious to the soldiers of the Standing Army, but he does not care about the death of mercenaries and servants. In his opinion, the loyalty of mercenaries and servant armies is not very trustworthy.

There is another aspect, that is, after the end of the war, the placement of these soldiers and horses is a big problem, mercenaries are easy to do, each of them is recruited, take money to sell their lives, after the end of the war, just pay some severance pay to dismiss them, but the servant army can not simply do this, these people have surrendered, if these people are directly dismissed, they may gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests.

"Now that the pass of Bayankala Pass has been broken through by our army, then our army can also drive straight in, pass on the order of the king, and after resting for three days, the army will set off to attack the hinterland of Tuosima!"

The generals clasped their fists and agreed in unison: "Yes!" ”

On April 12, Zhao Ziliang's army reached the south bank of the Yellow River, and crossed the river to the north in three days, attacked all the way to Jishi Mountain, and launched an attack on all sides.

On April 15, Ma Lan and Bai Xiaode took the lead in launching a surprise attack, captured Shibao City, and captured the fortress that blocked the northward movement of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

On the 16th, Ma Sui also launched an attack, successively breaking through several cities on the west coast of the West Sea, in the face of this unfavorable situation, a large number of barbarian rebel soldiers began to flee, in just a few days, the number of barbarian rebels was shortened to a lot of 30,000 people, and the rebels had to shrink their forces and fully retreat to Dafeichuan.

However, a large number of rebels gathered in Dafeichuan, which also brought extremely violent internal contradictions, which brought disaster to the barbarian rebels.

On April 22, just as Zhao Ziliang's army had completely swept away the Tusima area, the barbarian rebels had an internal strife in Dafeichuan, and the four groups of men and horses killed each other! In the end, the Tibetans, Tuyuhun and Uighurs were killed and wounded, and only 6,000 party soldiers among the barbarian rebels were victorious.

After Du Fu got the news, he immediately reported to Zhao Ziliang, explained the situation in detail, and finally said: "General Ma Lan sent someone to send a message, saying that the 6,000 party soldiers asked to surrender to the king, and from then on they will be driven by the king!" ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang sneered in his heart and asked, "In addition to these six thousand party soldiers, how many party members are there?" ”

"There are less than 20,000 people, all of them are old and weak, the youngest of the old people is fifty trivial, the youngest is only twelve years old, and there are more than 2,000 women among the 6,000 party soldiers!"

"This party is really a comprehensive soldier, and women are all fighting?" Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, tell Ma Luan to let these party soldiers surrender!" Separate the men from the women, and collect their weapons first, until the king's army arrives. ”

"Yes, King!"

On April 25, Zhao Ziliang led the army to arrive in Dafeichuan, and successfully joined forces with the East Route Army's Ma Xuan Department and Bai Xiaode's Department, and then Ma Sui also led the army to come, and all walks of life finally completely solved the Tubo problem in Dafeichuan, and finally quelled the situation of sometimes fighting and sometimes confronting Tubo and the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and Tubo can no longer pose a threat to the surrounding areas.

Dafeichuan, 200,000 troops gathered, colorful flags everywhere, stretching for dozens of miles are military camps. The headquarters of the Western Qin army has less than 60,000 people, most of them are Tubo servant troops and mercenaries, there are less than 20,000 Tianzhu soldiers, only 5,000 Nibora troops, and 30,000 Tang troops, part of the Tang army was scattered by the barbarian rebels and was collected by Ma Lan and Bai Xiaode, and the other part was Zhang Shouyu's department in Mobei.

In Zhao Ziliang's large tent, dozens of generals and ministers with the army were lined up on both sides.

Zhao Ziliang said to the generals and ministers accompanying the army: "This battle against Tubo began in the first month of last year, and until now, a full year and three months have passed, and finally the Tubo tribes have been completely conquered. ”

The generals and ministers said in unison: "This is the duty of the ministers!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Although the Tibetan tribes and the barbarian rebels have all been eradicated and eliminated, there are still many scattered and escaped stragglers who have wandered around the West Sea, and there are still many of these people, it is said that the barbarian rebels had 50,000 people at the beginning, and when Ma Lan and Bai Xiaode led the army to attack, there were less than 30,000 people, so it can be seen that at least 50,000 escaped, where did these people flee?" It is nothing more than the nearby mountains and forests and Tuyuhun villages, leaving these people behind will inevitably make them a scourge again, and they must be resolutely eliminated! This king has made up his mind, starting tomorrow, he will send people to the surrounding villages of Tuyuhun and Qiang people to post notices, so that these people will come out and surrender within a time limit, if they do not come out to surrender within 15 days, our army will wave troops to chase and suppress, and after they are caught, they will all be killed, and if they come out to surrender, they can be spared the death penalty! Du Fu, you organize the military Chinese writers to copy some notices, and then send people to various Tuyuhun tribes and villages to post them! ”

Du Fu agreed: "Yes, Weichen obeys!" ”

Zhao Ziliang also said: "This king believes that some people will go out of the mountains and forests to surrender after seeing or hearing the content of the notice, but there must be people who are lucky and refuse to come out and surrender!" Xuan XVIII, send detective sentry to collect all the information related to these rebel deserters who fled into the mountains and forests and hid in nearby tribal villages, find their hiding location, and find out their strength, this information needs to be known before the army pursues them! ”

"Yes, King!" Xuan 18 said yes and then returned to his original position.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What about Yao Zhitong's rebels?" ”

Ma Lan stood up and hugged his fists and replied: "King, Yao Zhitong was originally going to unite with the barbarian rebels to resist the attack of our army, but later Jingzhou Jiedu made Tian Xijian send someone to tell him, saying that he wanted to join forces with him and then share Chang'an, Tian Xijian has strong troops in his hands, strong strength, Yao Zhitong believed it was true, so he led the army to go, but he didn't know that this was Tian Xijian's plan to lure the enemy, as soon as the two met, Tian Xijian ordered the sword and axe men who were ambushed on the left and right to hack it to death, and the beast was sent to Chang'an, and the rebels under Yao Zhitong also surrendered! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "There are only a few thousand people in the Lingwu army, and at that time, the soldiers and horses in Chang'an were afraid that there would be tens of thousands without a forbidden army, right?" Why did the rebels succeed? Could it be that those generals in Chang'an are all wine bags and rice bags? ”
