Chapter 45: Calmly Drinking to Conquer the Crowd (5)
[Something is delayed, I'm sorry everyone, there is a more will be made up as soon as possible]
Liangzhou Zhizhou, Ganliang Road slightly pacified the envoy and the general manager of the soldiers and horses.
Whether it was he who got the position of Baowen Pavilion attendant, or the general Wang Sunchen under his command and added the official to the capital, it did not change the focus of his work.
You Shixiong's current focus is still on people's livelihood, not the Western Regions, which seems to be becoming more and more lively.
The Ganliang Road should be stable, and it can only be achieved after there is sufficient food and the income of the Tibetan ethnic groups is closely related to the Great Song Dynasty.
Cotton fields are one, but other production must also be available, and cotton cannot be relied on alone.
However, no matter how important cotton is, it cannot compare to grain.
This year, it was cold early, which made You Shixiong worry about the local preparations for winter. Half a month ago, he sent Fan Jing, the most credible person under his account, to inspect on his behalf.
Fan Jing is the younger brother of You Shixiong's brother Fan Yu, that is, the son of Fan Xiang Fan Yan, who is famous in Shaanxi. However, he is now working as a curtain official on You Shixiong's side, and because of Fan Yu's relationship, he has a close relationship with You Shixiong.
After half a month, Fan Jing's military camp has been inspected in the past, the warehouse has been inspected, and the fields have also been inspected, and when he came back, he shook his head when he saw You Shixiong, and the situation was not optimistic.
"Uncle Jing, we have to rely on the imperial court to allocate food, and the sooner this matter happens, the better."
You Shixiong's face became heavy when he heard this, "Isn't it enough to support next year's summer harvest?" ”
"It should be able to support. But next year's summer harvest may not be many. Fan Jing's brows were still furrowed: "And Fan Jing is still worried about the Western Regions." It's cold so early this year, and you can't expect much for next year's harvest. Not to mention the Western Regions! ”
You Shixiong's expression was relieved, "Don't worry about Wang Sunchen's side. Just take care of Ganliang Road. ”
Fan Jing had a calm face: "I don't know how much Wang Sunchen killed and how much hatred he left." If there is no food in the Western Regions, they will immediately rebel next year. ”
According to this statement, if Wang Sunchen does not kill this year, he will have to kill next year. If the weather is like this, there will definitely be chaos when it should be messed up. You Shixiong didn't care, "Fortunately, I just killed it here, otherwise I will have a headache on the road next year." ”
Fan Jing was speechless.
This side of the Tibetan department is not a good stubble.
On weekdays, You Shixiong manages the government and comforts the people, persuades farmers and workers, and spares no effort. Not only the Han people, but also the obedient Tibetan people also attached equal importance to it. Always put on the style of the Han Fan family. Such a moderate attitude made some tribes arrogant, and when they met You Shixiong, they were disrespectful, and they forcibly seized the land of neighboring tribes, and injured several Han merchants.
In time for the Double Ninth Festival, 3,000 Han troops were mobilized, and several tribes were directly wiped out. Seven or eight thousand mouths all lost their heads, and this envoy personally supervised and beheaded more than 200 people, and the heads were stacked in front of them one by one, and he served tea in one hand and colluded with the other, all of which were not taken seriously.
Hengqu is full of heroes. This is a well-known fact in Kansai. But the so-called heroics, put in the military, is to kill people without blinking.
"But Wang Sunchen's side also has to be careful of the Black Khan people, don't make the internal and external echoes." Fan Jing said after a while.
"How many people can the Black Khan bring out?"
After You Shixiong heard that Wang Sunchen had captured the Moman and fought with the Black Khan people, he interrogated many big food merchants. The situation of the division of the Black Khan can be regarded as a confirmation. The internal situation is not quiet, and no matter how important the border is, it is impossible to send many troops and horses to fight with the officers and soldiers.
"As long as Wang Sunchen is not confused enough to cross the green ridge, he can deal with other situations."
The Black Khan is just a trivial trifle. Among the Great Cannibals, the Black Khanate was also a great country with a million armor. But the mountains and rivers are everywhere, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, what can they do if they can't survive the desert and high mountains? The Western Uighurs were destroyed by Wang Sunsin, and the Black Khanate, which had been fighting against the Western Uighurs for a hundred years and had no choice but to do anything, could be strong?
"Fan Jing remembered that the Black Khan had sent an envoy to pay tribute."
"That's to make money! Almost all of them are big food merchants pretending, where is the real thing. ”
The big food merchant is the most treacherous, and no matter how confused the court is, it will not suffer losses for more than a hundred years. The edict was issued early, and the envoys of the Western Regions such as Black Khan, Khotan, and Gaochang all paid tribute every two years. At other times, the so-called envoys who came over were treated as merchants, even if they held national credentials. The incense and curiosities offered were returned to silk and silver according to the current price, but there was only silk in the past ten years.
Because Wang Shao once wrote that silver is mineral, and the lighting will be gone, no more than silk and porcelain, it is an inexhaustible supply, and he discouraged the use of silver to reward the big food merchants. You Shixiong knew that this was promoted by Han Gang behind his back. At that time, the Western Xia controlled the Ganliang Road, which was extremely vicious, and the big food merchants all changed to the Qingtang Line and entered China from Hehuang. Seeing them leave loaded with silver silk porcelain, Han Gang picked up Wang Shao's book. You Shixiong looked at Han Gang's recent letter and compared it with the money source he received before. Maybe the idea of minting silver coins began many years ago.
In the past, the so-called tribute envoys of the Black Khan people, not to mention how many of them were pretended to be big food merchants, were real envoys, and they would only covet wealth and wealth for a large country thousands of miles away, and would not be afraid of its national prestige. Therefore, it is necessary to subdue the Black Khan people in order to make the Western Regions truly stable.
You Shixiong said, seeing that Fan Jing was still frowning, he said again: "Don't think that Wang Sunchen is a reckless man who only knows how to advance but does not know how to retreat. How many people in the world can write military books? Wang Sunsin is one. ”
You Shixiong still remembers the shock Wang Sunchen felt when he took the march account he wrote to himself for judgment. I never thought that a pure martial artist could write a record of more than 100,000 words, and it would be better to replace it with a meritorious name.
"Is there such a thing?!" Fan Jing exclaimed.
Virtue, meritorious service, and speech, the so-called three immortals. Although it is said that the records of the art of war such as "Records of Military Training" and "Notes on Marching" are far from reaching the point of 'immortality' - there are countless military books and war strategies in the world, and "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu" can be regarded as a statement - the past can be recorded with heart, this is still
"It's all forced by Han Yukun." You Shixiong shook his head, "Zhao Long, who is now in Lingwu, and his cousin Li Xin, were all forced by him to write records. The training, marching, and fighting, the geography of the mountains and rivers, the people's customs, and the successes and failures were all written down. ”
Ordinary Confucian ministers teach military generals, and they let them read. Instead of reading military books and war strategies, they read the scriptures, read history, and read the Spring and Autumn Period, but Han Gang did the opposite and let them write books. Write about experiences, write lessons, and record your reading and doing things every day.
This is significantly more effective than simply getting them to read. In order to write a good book and make a good record, you have to read more books, and you have to learn about geography and history. Even Wang Sunchen had to pour a belly of ink down.
You Shixiong had talked with him many times, and compared with ordinary scholars, Wang Sunchen was obviously much better in terms of knowledge.
Therefore, You Shixiong has confidence in Wang Sunsin.
has been accustomed to 'three times a day', such a general will not be defeated even if he makes a mistake for a while. I don't know how many backs there are, but I can maintain the situation by turning my head.
Do you really think that Wang Sunsin's successive victories in the Western Regions are because he is a fierce general who is a pig and a brave general?
A general who can lead an expedition of thousands of miles, how can it be so easy to win!
……………………
The battle flag of the Great Song Dynasty has always fluttered at the head of the Mobarian City.
For three days, Wang Sunchen had to send troops out of the city every day to move his muscles and bones, each time he was farther away than the other, and each time he left more than a hundred corpses behind the lucky Black Khan people.
However, the advance camp of the Black Khan people was also completely stabilized during these three days. At a distance of one and a half miles, Wang Sunchen did not lead his troops to attack there after all.
When the camp was stable and had more confidence, the commander of the Black Khan sent envoys to persuade him to surrender.
Wang Sunsin rubbed his nose.
The wind blew through the tent door, and a mixture of body odor and essence rushed straight to the fontanelle.
He wondered if the envoy had rolled in the perfume barrel, otherwise how could there be such a heavy smell. Those who can afford to use the flavor must be rich and noble, and the envoy in front of him should be. But when men use essence, Wang Sunchen still feels unaccustomed. And the nose is more uncomfortable.
Wang Sunchen only rubbed his nose, and he didn't listen to half of the envoy's strange official words. Seeing that the envoy finally stopped opening and closing his mouth, he raised his hand, "Drag it down." ”
The two pro-soldiers immediately came up, set up the envoy and dragged it back. The envoy was very bold, and after dragging him out of the tent, he was still shouting inexplicable words. Repeating it over and over again, as if reciting a mantra.
The general then came in and asked Wang Sunsin for instructions on what to do with the Black Khan envoys and his entourage.
"What to do?" Wang Sunchen looked surprised and his eyes widened, "Could it be that the general ordered someone to drag them down in order to invite them to dinner?!" ”
"Jurisdiction, the two countries are fighting, don't kill them!" There is a general to persuade him.
"What not to cut to make! When you come in, you look around, don't you just want to find out about the enemy? I don't know how much I have seen it, so that he can go back like this? ”
The envoys who persuaded them to surrender and their entourage were all killed by Wang Sunsin, and their heads were thrown outside the camp. Such an impudent gesture unfortunately failed to arouse the anger of the Black Khan people, and they immediately rushed over.
Wang Sunsin regretted it, but he also had no idea of changing his tactics. Keep waiting.
The core elite of the Black Khan's army are Ghulam and Iqta, but the largest number of them are still recruited from all over the country. After a few days, there were still 30,000 of these soldiers and horses left, not to mention anything else. It's grain and grass, and the local area will definitely not be able to supply it. There will be ten more days at most, and then there will be no more attacks and they will have to retreat.
Compared with the Black Khan people, Wang Sunchen's food and firewood are more than enough. Maybe the consumption of war horses is a little more, but it's a big deal to choose the old and weak among them to kill a group, and it is enough to leave the mounts of the core of the Han army. Wang Sunsin had been prepared for a long time. Now he is trying to force the commander of the Black Khan to hurry up and take the initiative to attack.
"Ruler!"
However, Wang Sunsin's ease was soon shattered by a new change, and the scouts on the spaceship discovered that a Black Khan army had led troops east.
"General, the Black Khan people are going to attack the swing sound and the turtle! The back road is going to be broken! ”
A group of Uighur generals shouted in panic, but none of the Han generals were surprised.
"It's cold, where can the Black Khan attack? Swing? Turtles? Wang Sunchen snorted, "I have already sent someone to inform you to be careful at home, right?" ”
Although Wang Sunsin was besieged, it does not mean that he would not have thought of the tactics that the Black Khanate could use before.
Anyway, whether it's a turtle or a sound, even if there is a rebellion, it doesn't matter if the enemy is surrendered. Unless the commander of the Black Khan had the patience to wait for the detached army to the east, capture the nobles of Swing Yin and Qiuzi, and persuade his Uighurs to surrender, what else could he do to shake the morale of the army?
But the Black Khan commander was obviously impatient, and after sending a partial division, he began the siege work in full swing.
Wang Sunsin had been carefully observing for the past two days, and found that the Black Khan people had begun to build artillery carts, and their appearance and structure were similar to those of thunderbolt artillery.
This time, even the generals of the Han army couldn't sit still, but Wang Sunchen was not afraid. The power of the thunderbolt cannon is not only dependent on the shelf outside.
He was looking forward to teaching the Black Khan a lesson.
