Chapter 316: Fang Lai and Yingjie (4)

Ancient roads, west winds, thin horses, and broken intestines are at the end of the world.

The wind also changed to the southeast wind, spring came, it was late to the northwest, and finally came, the earth recovered, and the grass happily dialed out from the horizon, but in the end there was no warmth in the south of the Yangtze River, with the original solemn atmosphere of the northwest.

The horse is not necessarily thin, but it has become a horse that pulls a cart, not galloping on the battlefield, and has lost its heroic pride.

The ancient road is an ancient road, leading to the end of the world.

The Broken Intestine Man is not the Broken Intestine Man, but the intestines are also bubbling with regret.

Liu Renliang asked in a hoarse voice, "Fourth uncle, where are you?" ”

"Ahead is Diezhou City."

"Diezhou? So fast? ”

"Ah Lang, it's not fast, if you want to hurry, you should arrive in Qinzhou early."

"Don't be in a hurry, just hurry up like this, isn't it a certain illness?"

"That ......" The housekeeper was silent, knowing his master's thoughts, as a battle-hardened veteran, almost winning every battle, with his own reserve, because of Li Jingxuan's force, as this kind of thing, it is conceivable that he is in a bad mood.

"Ah Lang, the servant is only worried about Shanzhou." The master of his own family left and handed over a mess to Li Jinxing to deal with, and before Li Jingxuan arrived, there was any errand and his own master could not escape this responsibility.

"You're wrong, General Li alone can be 10,000 soldiers." After Liu Renliang said this, his eyes were closed, his heart was haggard, and he actually fell asleep on the carriage.

……

This was a successful surprise attack, and Zanpo made a lot of arrangements for this, and the forward was 20,000 elite horsemen, and quickly came to the city of Huangzhong, but immediately reined in the war horse and said, "Stop! ”

The army of 20,000 stopped together.

In fact, it was not only about Zanpo, but also other Tibetan soldiers were puzzled.

It's too weird, if there are few troops in the city, and the Tubo army suddenly attacks at this time, the Tang city gate should be closed immediately, and then send a beacon fire to ask reinforcements to come to help. But no, it's very abnormal, I didn't see the beacon fire, which doesn't count, and the city gate is wide open, which clearly means, come in, open the gate for you to come in.

There are still several flags planted on the head of the city, and there are more than a dozen generals sitting under the banners, drinking and talking, just like the Tubo elite horses who have arrived under the pressure of 20,000 black pressures, it is a ball of air.

I don't understand it, although I don't know much, I also know that Li Jinxing is not a fool, and he will definitely not do such an unreasonable thing. Ask the subordinate generals around you: "Why do you think the Tang people do this?" ”

"Don't know?" Shaking their heads one by one, all this in front of them was too unreasonable, and they couldn't figure it out, so they didn't dare to say it.

A reckless general said: "General, whatever you do to him, let's kill him." ”

"Wait," said Ronzanpo, shaking her hand.

"Why?"

"I feel that Liu Renliang did not leave, this is an intentional trap." When Zanpo said this, he thought of a conversation he had with his second brother, and Lun Qinling said to him: "The Tang people should not be underestimated." The country's territory is vast, there are many people, and there are many capable people, and what we can defend in Tibet is that the land is high, and the Tang people are not adaptable. That's why Nanzhao was able to lose. In Qinghai, you can't underestimate the enemy, the Tang people are scheming, especially some sharp weapons, the battle in the city is not my Tubo strength, I can only try to lure them out of the field, is the world of our Tubo people. ”

Could it be that this is a trick of the Tang Dynasty? On Zanpo's eyes narrowed, the city gate was wide open, and even the suspension bridge was put down, and you could see the love questions in the city, the city in Huangzhong was not big, and the eyes were strong, and when you looked along the main street, you could see the east city gate. The strange thing was that the west gate was wide open, tempting him to lead his army in, but the east gate was tightly closed, and there was not a single pedestrian to be seen on the street, and it was very quiet, because no one disturbed it, and a flock of sparrows were flying around, and some landed on the long street, looking around. But then his pupils dilated suddenly, for he saw a wisp of dust rising from the houses on the south side, and then he saw the ground on the street bulging in many places.

There is an ambush!

That Li Jinxing was also a barbarian, and he couldn't think of any tricks, this must be Liu Renliang's strategy, deliberately planning and letting out the news to return to the Central Plains, in fact, he wanted to tempt them to come and invade carelessly. Otherwise, I can't think of a second explanation.

sighed secretly in his heart, it was better to ask for stability, and wait for the eldest brother to come back to discuss, and said: "Withdraw the army!" ”

"Withdrawal?"

"See, there are some newly excavated traces on the ground, and there is a thunderstorm in the Tang Dynasty, which can not only explode in the sky, but also in the ground. And there was dust rising from the south, and there were ambushes, and the southeast wind blew the dust over. Withdraw, withdraw immediately! ”

As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and immediately withdrew towards Chiling.

At this time, Li Jinxing was also shocked into a cold sweat at the head of the city, there were only a few hundred soldiers left in the city at this time, Hugh said that it was just some gunpowder, so he gave them cannons, and he couldn't defend Huangzhong City. So I came up with this risky solution.

Seeing Tubo disappear on the horizon, Li Jinxing said with relief: "It's better to read more books." ”

But he did not relax, the gates of the city were kept wide open, and he drank and had fun in the city, and in fact he was suspected of being deceived when he joined the Chinese army after he withdrew from the city, and sent scouts to investigate, and this was still the case, and even the scouts, under the influence of the illusion, reported that they saw a large number of armoured soldiers lying on both sides of the main street in the city, and a large cloud of dust was faintly seen behind the city. On Zanpo became more and more convinced that it was the ambush of the Tang Dynasty, and in desperation, he led an army of 100,000 to return in vain.

When night came, all the soldiers who were chopping wood returned, and Li Jinxing closed the city gate. At that time, the situation was urgent, and the defense could not be prevented, so some confusing arrangements were arranged, and the city gates were opened wide, and a big gamble came.

It is not right to say that he is a barbarian, he is a Tatar, but his father Tudiji is a pro-Tang faction, and he has been accepting Han culture since he was a child, and in some ways, he is more like a Han than a Central Plains person. Moreover, he is a great person, very groomed, and reads a lot of books. Time was urgent, and in desperation, he thought of some books he had read, such as Li Guang led a hundred horsemen to suddenly encounter thousands of Hun enemies, far away from the camp, Li Guang asked all the soldiers to dismount and sleep leisurely on the turf, the Huns were strange, sent an officer to inspect, let Li Guang shoot an arrow to death, and stayed up until dark, Li Guang was still like this, the Huns were afraid of an ambush, and fled in a hurry. Then to Zhao Yun, it was also the Cao army that suddenly arrived, opened the camp gate, the flag was silent, the Cao army suspected that there was an ambush, but retreated, Zhao Yun saw the Cao army retreating, ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, and then led the army to kill from the camp, the Cao army was shocked and returned defeated. When Liu Bei heard about it, he praised Zilong and said that Zilong was also guts. Another writer scared Sun Quan away, and Xiao Cheng scared away the Northern Wei army.

But when he heard about the 100,000 soldiers who came from Tibet, Li Jinxing was still in a cold sweat.

Of course, Zanpo also learned the truth, and regretted it a lot, and after a long time, he said: "The second brother is right, the Tang Dynasty is just a Liu Renliang!" ”

There was no war, but the actual battle was, and before the arrival of the Qin Tomb, the Zanpo never dared to covet the river again.

……

Li Jinxing's plan to empty the city this time, because he was a native of the Yan Dynasty, and there was no direct battle, the history books ignored it. The imperial court has not received the news yet, and even if it does, it will not pay attention. A little Tibetan, what I want is not for you to defend the city, but how to defeat the enemy, if you kill 10,000 or 20,000 Tibetans, you will come again to report the victory.

Of course, Li Jinxing was very interested and did not report the matter at all. If the report is good, it will be safe and sound, and the reward is unlikely. The report is not good, it is his dereliction of duty, and then he makes a risky plan, what if the Tubo people do not suspect and rush in? Will Li Jinxing bear the consequences?

Even if it was reported, no one paid attention.

At this time, Li Jingxuan left Luoyang helplessly, but all the provinces were alarmed. The 180,000 army is not 18 soldiers, and the entire Tang Dynasty is less than 4 million households, that is, 22 households. It is impossible for this soldier to be dispatched from Jiangnan Lingnan Province, so the pressure on Guanzhong, Hebei, Hedong, Henan, and Jiannan provinces is even heavier.

The same is true of Tibet, because most of the people depend on grazing for a living, grazing in their spare time, fighting in wartime, and the livestock in the family can be handed over to the elderly and women to take care of, and even the children with large eggs can hold a whip to guard the cattle and sheep. Therefore, the mobilization of troops is flexible and mobile. Even the entire population of Tibet, including the people in the confined areas, was less than 10 million, but it was able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in a single battle. The shortcomings are also obvious, if you win a big victory, if you lose a big defeat, the burden of the people is heavy, and the lack of young adults can have an extreme impact on the reproduction of future generations, and even be annexed by other tribes. This is how many tribes go on to disappear.

These soldiers will rush to Shanzhou from all roads to rendezvous, and as soon as the army is launched, the various grains, grasses and materials needed by 180,000 people will be even more amazing, and most of the Tang Dynasty will begin to stir.

But gradually a few ministers reacted that Li Jingxuan did not understand the military, but once the 180,000 troops were defeated, although the Tang Dynasty was big, it would inevitably be seriously injured. began to write a book, asking Li Zhi to change the commander again. Li Zhi asked: "So who is suitable for the position of the coach, and can convince the public to avoid the disharmony of the general?" ”

One sentence dumbfounded the opposing courtiers.

If Li Ji does not die, Li Ji is undoubtedly the most suitable. Liu Renliang is also good, but he is seriously ill, how can he command the battle? Then counted, even Pei Xingjian's qualifications are a little insufficient, at least like Liu Xianli's position is higher than Pei Xingjian's. Replace Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun, like Li Jingxuan, it is better not to change.

I couldn't help but think of someone, but I didn't dare to say it......

……

One major event after another happened in March, and it has not yet stopped.

The third phase of the two canals is nearing completion. Last year, Li Wei stopped for a while, and the time was inevitably postponed. The problem of the Shenmen River is not very serious, and the excavation continues, but there are many rainy days, and it is very difficult to drain the water. But it's not a big problem later, and it's the Horidi-that is thrilling, but because it's not navigable, it's not serious. It really doesn't work, those iron pillars, put them in the dry season in winter.

Danshui canal was also postponed, some river sections were re-turned, the river was dug deep and wide, which would inevitably have an impact on the river, and there was no scientific instrument measurement, the estimated inch error was likely to appear in reality a foot error, after the river was all discharged, the depth was different, and some river sections were too shallow, and they would inevitably be overturned. There are also sections of the river that have not been completed. When spring ploughing came, most of the people went home to plough the land, and some people stayed, such as those who had little land, or those who hunted in the mountains to make a living. After all, there are fewer people, the river is bigger again, and the construction speed is gradually slowing down.

This is not in a hurry, the entire Danshui project is at least six years, maybe seven or eight years, and this is the second year. The Guangtong Canal is not counted, it belongs to the part of the Yellow River that extends to Guanzhong.

At the end of March, we arrived at Longju Village, which is also the last section of the Danshui River that has not started construction except for the river surface that has been renovated. The levee was built, and the last mud bag was thrown down, and the upper stream was closed. Having lost its upstream water source, the river flows downstream, and gradually the riverbed is exposed.

Yao Xuan asked Li Junzan, "When do you think it will be completed?" ”

"At least until the beginning of May."

"At the beginning of May, it's still slow." When May comes, the river is bigger.

"This is helpless, when it comes to the upper reaches, except for the Zhengdang Canal, many sections of the river will no longer be limited to the season."

But it can't be started all year round, after all, it will affect agricultural production.

As he was talking, suddenly a man said, "What is that?" ”

Yao Xuan and Wei Xuan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a strange shield lying on the riverbed. The shield is an ordinary weapon, like the grass bridge pass since ancient times, it is also one of the small arteries leading from the pass to the south of the mountain, with the excavation of the river, many weapons were found, and there are some soldiers' corpses, for a long time, the weapons are rusted and can not be used, and the corpses have become white bones. There were even several ancient tombs dug up, and there were no owners, some of the tombs had burial objects, and some did not. Now there is no word for cultural relics, the valuable ones are sold, and the worthless ones are thrown away. Li Wei secretly said that it was a pity, but it was not stopped, and it was very precious in the future generations, but in this era, how to keep it?

But this shield was so strange that it took ten people to pull it up with all their might.

Yao Xuan and Wei Xuan walked over together, and looked carefully, the shield was rusty, and there was a shallow layer of moss on it, and I don't know how many years it had fallen in the river. In addition, nine weapons protruded from the edge of the shield, and two dragons were hovering on the shield. The workmanship is not very exquisite, but both of them focused their eyes on the twenty ancient seal characters in the center: the sixty years of the Tang Dynasty, the wolf chaos in the Central Plains. Yifeng passed on good news, and the prince set Hu Fan.

Sirius has been thought to be a killer since ancient times, but to the naked eye, it is in the southeast. However, it is in the northwest of the nine stars, so it is often said in literary works that the northwest border is harmful.

However, Yao Wei's faces changed, in this era, Fu Ruitu's prophecy is not a trivial matter, and so many people have seen it, and they can't hide it if they want to, while sending someone to transport this shield to Luoyang, while sending a fast horse to inform Li Wei secretly.

The news spread immediately. Many people finally remembered that the reason why Li Jingxuan was allowed to command the army was because of his qualifications, but in terms of convincing the public, Li Jingxuan was not as good as the prince. Li Jingxuan doesn't understand the military, but the prince does. No matter where this shield comes from, at least the prince is the commander, and it is stronger than Li Jingxuan.

Li Wei and Pei Xingjian's worried back hands attacked. If it weren't for the fact that the Danshui Canal could not be constructed in the harsh winter last year, and it was delayed for a month, the attack would have been faster. As the shield approached day by day, there was silence in the courtroom, not the calm of previous years, but the terrifying dead silence of the storm......
