Chapter 507: Hide Your Face and Flee
After Brehan left, Chu Ge asked, "General, if the last general defeats the three thousand food army in Baishui City, what will happen next?" β
Zhao Ziliang said: "If you defeat the Great Food Army of Baishui City, your department will be divided into two, one of which will be stationed on the spot, especially a large number of scouts to patrol both sides of the Talas River, on the one hand, to prevent a large food army from coming from the west, and on the other hand, to cut off the retreat of the Great Food Army of Henglus City, if they want to escape, they can only retreat west into the desert!" The other part went west along the Talas River, and after reaching the bank of the Yaozhishui River, it went northwest for two hundred miles, and sent people to investigate the surrounding situation, and if it was found that a great food army had fled from the desert to the east, it would be intercepted immediately! General Ben wants them to have no return this time! β
Chu Ge clenched his fists and said: "General, the last general will definitely wash away the shame of the past this time!" β
At this time, Wang Can reminded: "General, the Great Cannibal is now stationed more than 10,000 troops in Kangguo, Cao, Anguo and Shiguo among the Zhaowu Kingdoms, if the news of the raid on Baishui City spreads over there, the Great Cannibal Army stationed there will definitely go north to reinforce it!" Such a strong garrison is also the reason why the Zhaowu countries dare not act rashly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "This factor will naturally be considered by this general, after Chu Ge leads the troops away, this general will immediately lead the army to Hengluo City, if Chu Ge captures Baishui City, he will immediately send someone to report, this general will send troops to increase the strength of Baishui City, and block the garrison of the Great Food Country in the Zhaowu Kingdom from going north, as long as we solve the Great Food Army in Hengluo City, we can free up our hands to deal with the Great Food Garrison of the Zhaowu Kingdom!" β
Next, Zhao Ziliang discussed and discussed in detail with Chu Ge, Wang Can and others the marching route and detailed plan for the surprise attack on Baishui City led by Chu Ge.
According to Zhao Ziliang's lies, the 3,000 soldiers who participated in the surprise attack this time must be cavalry, and they must be able to climb mountains and wade through rivers, and they must be able to withstand cold, which meets these requirements, and the 2,000 cavalry brought by Zhao Ziliang from Xilin Guard fully meet the requirements. Zhao Ziliang had to select 1,000 cavalry skilled infantry from the infantry to join them, and these infantry could open roads and bridges for the 2,000 cavalry in the mountains and water, and could engage in foot combat with the enemy when the terrain was not conducive to cavalry combat.
The next day, on the morning of August 11, Zhao Ziliang and the leaders of the Five Crossbow Lost Bi Tribes and the leaders of the Five Ground Tribes discussed the Tang Army camp outside Kulan City.
In the big tent, these leaders and the generals under Zhao Ziliang were divided into two sides, and Zhao Ziliang and Cheng Qianli sat in the first place as the main generals and supervisors.
Cheng Qianli took advantage of the time when the servants were serving wine and meat to these leaders, and asked Zhao Ziliang in a low voice: "What are you doing with these people?" β
Zhao Ziliang said in a low voice: "According to reliable reports, there are 10,000 big food troops in Henglus City, and there are still thousands of people in Baishui City in the southwest, and we only have 18,000 people when we are full, of which less than 10,000 can do their best when attacking the city, and those barbarian troops who follow will not die hard, so we must find more barbarian troops to join, so that they can lose the strength of the big cannibals!" β
Cheng Qianli looked at Zhao Ziliang with strange eyes, and said in his heart: "You kid is so poisonous!" β
Zhao Ziliang ignored Cheng Qianli's strange gaze, and heard Brehan come over and say, "General, everyone is here!" β
So, Zhao Ziliang looked at the leaders of the left and right departments, and said loudly: "Leaders, especially the leaders of the five crossbow lost parts, you also know what the purpose of this general is to lead the troops this time, yes, it is to recapture Henglus!" Henglus City is one of the most important transit stations of our northern Silk Road, without it, the Northern Silk Road is equivalent to being cut off, these days the general led the army all the way, in various towns have seen a large number of caravans stranded here, if Henglus City has been occupied by the big cannibals, then our Silk Road is not going to be abandoned? So where do your taxes come from? β
Ashikiel? The leader of the Que Division, Ah Sijie Qianquan, said to Zhao Ziliang with a bitter face: "General, how can we not know that the occupation of Henglus City by the Great Cannibals will cut off our Silk Road? But what can we do? The big cannibal is very cruel! β
Zhao Ziliang sneered when he heard this: "Leader of Qianquan, I know that the ancestors of your ten surnamed tribes were once invincible on this grassland, and the Persians in the west did not dare to invade the east, why have you descendants of later generations become so cowardly?" Is it that the comfortable life has been too long and will not even fight? I only know that if someone else cuts off my financial route, I will have to find him desperately, if I don't work hard, where will I have food? If you don't have money or food, you're going to starve to death, you know? The Great Cannibal is very vicious, but are the scimitars in your hands all papier-mΓ’chΓ©? β
These words made the leaders of the five crossbows bow their heads one after another, only Geshu? Ge Shukun, the leader of the Que Division, said: "The general means that we should gather troops and horses to attack Henglus City with the Tang army?" β
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, my Datang and your tribes are all beneficiaries of this Silk Road, now that the Silk Road has been cut off, the big cannibal is equivalent to cutting off the wealth of all of us, there is no reason to sit back and enjoy it in this world, right?" If you don't send troops, then why do you enjoy the benefits of this Silk Road? You know this better than I do, right? And we've already made contact with the kingdoms of Bahhana and Shi, and they have promised to send troops, and the soldiers and horses are already on their way by this time! On the other hand, how much of a threat the big cannibal occupies Henglus to you, you don't know, now that my Tang army is marching westward, what are you afraid of? If you don't take this opportunity to send troops together to drive the big cannibals away, do you have to wait until the big cannibals have a firm foothold in Hengros City, and then send troops to rob your lair, do you know that you regret it? β
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, the leaders of the five crossbows lost their heads began to ponder, and Ge Shukun first said: "Xiao Khan is willing to send two thousand troops!" β
After several other leaders saw that Ge Shukun agreed to send troops, they also expressed their intention to send troops after some consideration, some were willing to send 3,000 troops, some were willing to send 1,000 troops, and finally added up to a total of 10,000 troops, so that Zhao Ziliang could use nearly 30,000 troops, and when the soldiers and horses of Shi and Bakhana arrived, it was estimated that there were about 35,000 people.
Finally, after discussion, the leaders of the five crossbows were quickly returned, and the army with enough grain and grass immediately rushed to the city of Hengros, and agreed to meet at the foot of the city of Hengross by the fifteenth day of August at the latest.
After the matter was discussed, these leaders took their leave, and the local landlord, Basai Ganye, walked last, and he whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "The general needs 3,000 sheepskin jackets Xiao Khan has been prepared, and it can be sent to your army camp in the afternoon, but Xiao Khan doesn't understand, what does the general want 3,000 sheepskin jackets to do on this hot day?" I can't wear it either! β
Zhao Ziliang raised his finger to his mouth: "Shhhh Only you know about it, you can't say it to anyone else, and when it's done, I'll tell you about it! β
Basai Ganye nodded and said, "Clear, clear!" I'm not going to say it."
In the evening, Basai Ganye personally led people to send 3,000 sheepskin jackets, and Zhao Ziliang expressed his gratitude after receiving them, and the 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry who were sent to carry out the surprise attack were each assigned 1,000 and asked to carry them on their backs.
After dinner, Zhao Ziliang personally lectured, and appointed Chu Ge as their main general on the spot, with Xuan Yi as the deputy general to assist him, and then Chu Ge and Xuan Yi led the three thousand people to quickly drive out of the camp and walk towards the thousand springs in the south, and soon disappeared into the night.
Late at night, Zhao Ziliang was still in the big tent to study the battle strategy on the map, but there was an angry shout outside the tent, and then he saw Cheng Qianli break in, and the two Hu wanted to pull him out from the pursuit, which made Cheng Qianli even more angry, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to send the two Hu Cong away, and asked Cheng Qianli: "General Cheng, although you are a supervisor, you can't break into my main general's big tent without notification, right?" β
Cheng Qianli said angrily: "General Ben can't wait for the report, let me ask you, why are there three thousand fewer people in the barracks?" Where have they all gone? Even if General Ben can't care about how you give orders, if you want to send troops, you have to say hello to General Ben, otherwise what's the use of me as a prison army? You didn't take General Ben seriously at all! Believe it or not, General Ben immediately removed you from the post of chief general? β
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "General Cheng, we were the first to say that after sending troops, you can't arbitrarily take off my position as the chief general!" These 3,000 people have secret missions, and I have already sent them out, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so I didn't say hello to you, just worried about leaking the news! β
Zhao Ziliang said this, which made Cheng Qianli even more unhappy, and he snorted angrily: "According to what you say, you don't believe General Ben at all?" Worried that General Ben will leak the news, yes or no? β
Zhao Ziliang spread his hands: "General Cheng, I didn't say I didn't believe you, I believe you wouldn't do this, but can you guarantee that the people around you won't inadvertently leak the news?" Until now, I was the only one in the camp who knew about this, and no one else knew about it! Even the three thousand soldiers didn't know what they were going to do, only Chu Ge, who led the troops, knew! β
"It's Chu Ge again, hum! I think you are protecting the short, he obviously has a big mistake, but you still give him such an important task to do, aren't you cronyism and protecting the short? Cheng Qianli looked a little angry.
Zhao Ziliang asked with a smile: "General Cheng, how many people in this world don't protect their shortcomings?" Don't you protect your shortcomings? Chu Ge is at fault, but this kind of mistake is not unforgivable, why can't he be given a chance to make meritorious contributions? You're always holding on to this, I think you've been targeting me! Be careful! β
Of course, Cheng Qianli couldn't admit it, and flatly denied it: "I didn't!" β
"None? At the beginning, you were already a ranger general, and I was just a small soldier, but it didn't take long for you to find out that my official position had climbed higher than yours, so you were so jealous that you slandered me everywhere in front of General Fumeng, and said bad things about me, don't think I don't know! β
Cheng Qianli was debunked by Zhao Ziliang on the spot Some of his previous tricks, and suddenly like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, he suddenly blushed and had a thick neck, and jumped up: "I didn't!" You fart! You're spewing blood! β
Zhao Ziliang snorted: "If there is, there will be, if there is not, there will be none, why don't you admit it?" I see that you have a burly and good body, but you are a girl's temperament, and I don't know how to be ashamed! β
"You" Cheng Qianli was embarrassed by Zhao Ziliang's words, so he raised his sleeves and fled with his face hidden. (To be continued.) )
