Section 519 Uncle Wei fights the Turks
It is said that when Wei Xi entered the snow field to attack Tibet, his uncle Wei Zhihui was the protector of Anxi, responsible for managing the military and political affairs of the Western Regions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Zhiwei was born in Jingzhao Wei's Xiaoyao Mansion, is the son-in-law of Li Daozong (the father of Princess Wencheng), although there are twists and turns in his career, but it is quite smooth, he has fought Goguryeo, killed the Tubo people, and achieved the right military guard general, the official position is not low, but he has no great talent, the promotion is gradual, and he eats with seniority, and there is nothing brilliant.
In the Second Battle of Dafeichuan, he handed in good luck, and together with Li Jinxing, he supported Wei Xi's seizure of military power from Li Jingxuan, and since then he has formed a good relationship with Wei Xi.
After that, Wei Xi had to raise his status in order to marry the princess, because the Wei family was the descendant of Han Xin, the founder of the early Han Dynasty, and his status was noble, so he worshiped Wei Men and recognized Wei as his uncle, so the Wei family became a relative of the heavenly family.
Wei Xi attacked Tibet, and the generals followed in a swarm to fight, and Wei Zhihui was sent to the Western Regions to serve as the protector of Anxi.
He knows his own family affairs, he is not a great talent, he has to pave the way for a great talent, and the main task in the Anxi capital is to contact the countries, tuntian, train troops, raise horses, be familiar with the roads, etc., and lay the foundation for Wei Xi's future expedition to the west.
If this kind of thing of making a wedding dress for others was not for his own nephew, Uncle Wei would not be so concerned.
He didn't do badly, Tuntian affairs, Wei Xi has manpower, because Wei Xi himself made his fortune from Tuntian, so it is easy for Uncle Wei to have 500,000 acres of Tuntian by Bosten Lake in the Western Regions (China's largest inland freshwater lake), and if he raises horses, he has a horse breeding master sent by the Tang family in Liangzhou to help him, and there are hundreds of thousands of military horses in two years.
In this way, he had food and horses, and immediately pulled up 30,000 cavalry, he trained the troops well, and the staff officers sent by Wei Xi helped him according to the "Army Drill Code" edited by Wei Xi, and the result was that the 30,000 cavalry were not badly armored, the weapons were sharp, and the training was decent, and they immediately suppressed the Western Regions!
At first, Wei Zhihui felt that life was good, because of the second defeat of Dafeichuan and Tubo, Tubo was short of troops, and the Tubo people originally deployed in the Western Regions all returned to Tubo in the south.
In this way, the four towns of Anxi gave Wei Zhibei a complete reply and made a contribution.
His 30,000 cavalry frightened many people, including the Western Turk chieftain and the governor of the Governor of Luyan, Ashina Duzhi.
Originally, Ashina Duzhi made an agreement with the Eastern Turks to rebel together, and they had to rely on the power of Tubo, but they didn't expect Nuoda's Tubo to beat Wei Xi to a pulp, and when it came to Wei Xi's name, it was famous, who was not afraid.
Ashina withered, saying that the time was not ripe and he didn't want to rebel, but he was actually afraid of death, but he didn't blame him, as strong as Tubo's Lun Qinling, he was not still Wei Xi's defeated general.
This Wei Xi has been near the Western Regions for a day, so let's wash and sleep, don't think about it.
After that, it has been delayed, and later I heard that after Wei Xi broke through Tubo, he left the Tang Dynasty to go to sea for a vacation, and after the news was confirmed, Ashina Duzhi woke up like a hibernating bear and began his rebellion plan, echoing the Eastern Turks.
Ashina Duzhi called himself the Khan with the surname of Shi, and another chieftain Li Shaluo instigated the tribe, raised 100,000 troops, invaded Anxi, and immediately went up with Wei to deal with P. (The nomads are all soldiers, and 100,000 people have young men and old men, not all of them are young and strong)
In fact, Ashina Duzhi should have rebelled a long time ago, in another parallel space, he killed Pei Xingjian, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, but Pei Xingjian used fraud to win, and now Ashina Duzhi rebelled, because the Western Regions was Wei Xi's sphere of influence, Pei Xingjian did not intervene, and Wei waited to deal with him.
The Turks are skilled in large-scale mobile warfare, which is difficult to deal with, and you need to overcome them with many conditions: good horses and generals must have command. A brave general, he overwhelmed the Turks in cavalry and cavalry battles and pursuits.
Obviously, Wei Zhiwei is not as good as Wei Xi has a first-class command, maybe the Tang Army's horses are a little better, but it is not too good, he has soldiers but lacks generals, there is only one thing that the Turks can't compare, that is, equipment.
The armor is good, the bow and arrows are sharp, and the saber cuts people quickly.
As a result, the fight was evenly divided.
The Turks dare to fight tough battles, but prefer to pinch soft persimmons.
Attacking the Tang people's tuntian, grabbing horses from the Tang people's horse farms, attacking cities that are not strong enough, destroying trade routes and cutting traffic, and plundering the Tang people, etc., these tasks are self-taught by the nomads.
Wei Zhiqi first sent troops to pursue, where could he catch up, and led others by the nose, incurring losses.
The Western Regions are so big, the cavalry does not have an advantage, don't want to win in battle!
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately drove a large herd of horses to Liangzhou, gave them to the Tang family to raise, and then shrank his forces, guarding the larger cities (there are not many cities in the Western Regions), and fighting according to the city.
Although Wei Zhiwei is not deep, he still dares to fight, and the Turks come and go, the war is stalemate, there are mutual victories and defeats, and there is no big defeat.
Until that day, a great man arrived in Xizhou (the residence of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate).
……
Shi Wanchao was dismissed from his post because he was accused of murder and inhumanity and became a cloth cloth.
He has the bottom in his heart, but he is not very upset, as Wei Xi's third junior brother and an expert in killing, Wei Xi will not let him lie dormant for too long, this is what Chief of Staff Jiang Zhi told him.
"If you want to rest a little longer, you can't do it, so let's go to the Western Regions to kill the Western Turks first!" Jiang Zhi said.
Then Jiang Zhi asked about Shi Wanchao's return to his hometown with concern, not that he was too troublesome, after all, Shi Wanchao was an important member of Wei Xi's group, and his foundation was shallow, Jiang Zhi cared a little more, and others didn't care so much.
It turned out that Shi Wanchao's hometown of Juye was a good place, and when the overlord of Chu fought with the Qin army in Juye, he was shocked to cry ghosts and gods.
Many years later, there was another Shi Wanchao, who was born in a farming family, his parents were there, and he had a younger brother who lived in the countryside.
Shi Wanchao served in the government army, his martial arts were learned in the government army, archery is also good, should be the imperial court to raise a warrior edict to fight Tubo, first appreciated by Wang Xiaojie, and then Wei Xi accepted as a junior brother, since then brilliant, originally he was unknown in history: the family background is too low.
"Are you going to bring your 450,000 pieces of goods back home? NO! NO! NO! Jiang Zhi shook his head and rattle.
With Shi Wanchao's merits, he got 300,000 yuan, but Wei Xi had another reward, giving them freedom to plunder, and as much as they captured, this guy grabbed the most among the Japanese people... It was his handiwork to move a big bronze Buddha to the Buddhist temple, and as a result, he named and filed a complaint to the Japanese people.
Jiang Zhi gave Shi Wan more than the idea to leave the goods in the princess's mansion for temporary storage, and the general invested in him. He brought 1,000 guan back to his hometown to improve his life, and he didn't tell others that he had 450,000 yuan.
450,000! How many people can't earn the wealth in a lifetime, Shi Wanchao now has no official body protection, which will cause many people to take risks!
He is a nouveau riche, not like Wang Xiaojie, who became famous early, and others are afraid of him.
There is no need to cause this trouble, although the trouble can still be settled with the ability of the general, but there is no need to waste time.
Shi Wanchao followed Jiang Zhi's teachings, brought some wealth back to his hometown, improved his family life without jealousy, and he didn't say anything about the big things he did, only that he was still in the army.
He lived in his hometown for a week, and felt impatient, in the past, he could kill people casually, and he had already become a loose horse, how could he endure the confined life in the countryside, so he said goodbye to his parents and went to the Western Regions.
The road to the Western Regions was much easier, the road was spacious, the instructions were clear, and he and more than a dozen of his personal soldiers each had two horses, and soon arrived in Xizhou.
He didn't play falsely, and found the Duhu Mansion and said directly: "I am the nephew of Wei Duhu's family, and I came to join my uncle on the order of my senior brother Wei Xi!" ”
took out the letter, the bright and dangling seal of the general blinded the eyes of the door official, and urgently reported to Wei Zhiyuan, Wei Zhibei met Shi Wanchao, read the letter, and saw the old Shi's Pixiu posture, and said with great joy: "Virtuous nephew, I am short of fierce generals here, you came just in time!" ”
