Chapter 897: Smooth Handover
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, so that the Tianzhu people and the big cannibals who were busy in the fields couldn't help but put down the farm tools in their hands, got up and turned to look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the distance, two big flags fluttered in the wind, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves approaching quickly, a pole embroidered with a tiger roaring sky, a pole embroidered with a crossed sword, behind the two flags is a banner embroidered with the word "Wei", followed by countless pennants and square flags of various colors, under its banner is a team, a column of cavalry dressed in black armor reflecting the metal bare is galloping rapidly, the red tassels on the helmets of these soldiers in armor are constantly shaking, and their bodies are rolling together with the gallop of the war horse, Rich in strong rhythm.
This is an unknown army, the Tianzhu people and the big cannibals who work in the fields have never been seen, "Run! Soon some people screamed in fright and turned around and ran, and the panic spread rapidly, and the Tianzhu and the big cannibals who were working in the fields threw down their farm tools and ran towards the bridge by the river.
It was the Western Qin cavalry who came, and the leading general was Wei Gao, who ignored these local natives and big cannibals who were fleeing early, and directly led his troops to rush to the bridgehead on the Xindu River, Sukkur is on the opposite side of the Xindu River, and there is a not very spacious wooden bridge on the river, and only through this bridge can you reach the city of Sukkur.
The local natives and big food farmers who were fleeing in front were quickly caught up by Wei Gao's team, and they were so frightened that they turned to flee, and those who didn't have time to escape were either shot by random arrows or directly knocked away by war horses.
The big food soldiers stationed at the head of the bridge didn't know how to deal with it, Wei Gao led the cavalry to kill him, and more than a dozen big food soldiers ran up the wooden bridge to flee to the opposite bank, and the Western Qin cavalry didn't stop at all, but slowed down, and they rushed up the wooden bridge in two columns to kill the other bank.
On the other side of the river, the big centurion shouted: "Cut the wooden bridge, cut the wooden bridge!" ”
When the big eaters heard the order, they swung their knives and slashed at the wooden bridge beside them, but their reaction was too late, and before they could cut a few knives, Wei Gao rushed to the nearest place with his men and horses, and some arrows shot over and hit the big eaters who were cutting the bridge.
Wei Gao led the archers all the way to the city of Sukur, and at this time, the Great Food Army stationed in Sukkur had received the news, and the general of the Great Food Army, Tahir, had led his troops out of the city to prepare for the battle. The Great Food Army had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the lower reaches of the Xindu River, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Sukkur City, and more than 5,000 other troops stationed in Multan and Hyderabad.
At a stone's throw away from the Great Eclipse Army, Wei Gaoler's horse stopped, he was not afraid at all that the army had just arrived, and his foothold was not stable, and the Western Qin Archers and cavalry behind showed their superb horsemanship and discipline to all the Great Cannibals, and in a very short period of time, they adjusted the formation by slowing down at high speed, and the moment the army stopped, the sound of horses' hooves disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared, and the general of the Great Eclipse Army, Tahir, was ready to take advantage of the fact that the other party had just come to gain an unstable foothold and immediately waved his troops to cover up, But the performance of the Western Qin cavalry made him immediately extinguish this thought in his heart.
Wei Gao beckoned to the interpreter, and the two of them trotted to the middle of the two military formations, and under Wei Gao's signal, the interpreter shouted in the direction of the Great Food Army formation: "We are the fourth division of the Seventh Army of the Western Qin Army, and our General Wei asked the general of the Abbasid garrison to come out and answer!" ”
Tahir hesitated for a moment, beat his horse and ran towards Wei Gao's location, stopped at a distance of twenty meters, and asked, "General Wei of Western Qin, why did you bring troops to the land of my Great Food?" ”
Wei Gao listened to the translation and said: "Our army was ordered to take over the defense of the lower reaches of the Xindu River, according to the agreement reached by the two high-level leaders, before the tenth day of the first month of next month, your army must all withdraw from the lower reaches of the Xindu River, and the area will be fully taken over by our army, so Your Excellency the General and your soldiers only have ten days to leave the lower reaches of the Xindu River!" Unless you dare to openly go against the will of your caliphate and the agreement signed between the two countries, then we will have to meet each other in arms! ”
Tahir was silent for half a minute before he spoke: "Of course Tahir does not dare to go against the will of the caliphate, nor will he violate the agreement between the two countries, there are still ten days before the deadline for evacuation, is Your Excellency the General too anxious?" It takes preparation time for our army to evacuate, and our army will naturally withdraw on time within the specified time limit, and I hope that Your Excellency the General will strictly restrain your soldiers during this time and not let them mess around! ”
Wei Gao was a person who refused to suffer, he said: "As long as Your Excellency the General and your officers and soldiers withdraw honestly and do not do anything out of the ordinary, our two sides will naturally return to peace and sound, if your army has a very bad behavior, the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers under my command are not decorations!" From now on, our army will camp outside the city, and when your army withdraws, please let the general know, and the general will send troops to send your army out, but before that, I hope that your army will not have a large-scale transfer, otherwise it will be difficult for the general to believe that your army's actions are hostile or not! Come, give the order to retreat to the river and camp! ”
The Western Qin army came and went quickly, when they came suddenly and quickly, and when they withdrew, there was no chaos at all, and it was also very fast.
Tahir watched the Western Qin army retreat, the expression on his face kept changing, until the Western Qin army disappeared from sight, and he ordered his subordinates: "From now on, half of the people will camp outside the city!" ”
One of the generals asked, "General, what are the preparations for evacuation?" ”
Tahir said: "When it is time to evacuate, General Ben will naturally give an order!" ”
"Yes!"
Wei Gao led his troops to retreat to the river and set up camp, controlled the bridgeheads on both sides of the wooden bridge, and sent people to widen and strengthen the wooden bridge, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the Great Food Army of Sukkur City and strengthen the exploration of the surrounding area.
In the afternoon of the same day, Erzhu led the main force of the Seventh Army to arrive at the camp.
"Greetings to the General!" Wei Gao greeted Erzhu at the gate of the camp.
Erzhu didn't get off the horse, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the account!" ”
The army slowly entered, many local natives and big cannibals watched from the periphery, and the news of the arrival of more than 10,000 people of the main force of the Western Qin army soon reached the ears of Tahir, the general of the Great Food Army.
The generals of the Western Qin Army gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and after Erzhu sat down, he asked, "How is the situation of the Great Food Army in Sukur Chengnei?" What is the attitude of the other party? ”
Wei Gao clenched his fists and said: "General, the general of the Great Food Army promised to withdraw from the lower reaches of the Xindu River within the specified time limit, but listening to his tone, it seems that he is quite unwilling, the last general is worried about what they are doing during this period, let's be careful, send people to keep an eye on them, don't give them a chance, and when the deadline comes, they have to withdraw even if they are unwilling, if they don't retreat, then it's not too late for us to show our knives!" ”
Erzhu thought for a while and agreed: "You think about it well, we can't put the handle in the hands of the other party, this will bring trouble to Heng Lus in foreign affairs activities, send people to keep an eye on them, don't give them a chance to take advantage of, if they have any bad behavior, come to report immediately!" ”
Wei Gao promised: "Yes, General!" ”
Since the attitude of the high-level is very tough and clear, as long as the other party does not withdraw, they will start fighting immediately, but they can't take the initiative to provoke a war, and Erzhu and others have nothing to scruple after getting this.
The news of the arrival of the main force of the Western Qin Army made all the luck in Tahir's heart shattered, the combat effectiveness of Wei Gao's vanguard army, he could see that the riding skills and discipline were far superior to his Great Food Army, and the combat effectiveness was only high in comparison, even if he concentrated all the Great Food Army in the lower reaches of the Xindu River, it was not as good as the Western Qin Army in terms of strength, even if he wanted to fight, the probability of victory was not more than thirty percent.
Tahir stayed awake all night, and the next morning he gave the order to withdraw his troops, and at the same time sent men to Murta and Hyderabad, ordering the garrisons of both places to withdraw from the lower Sindu River by the tenth day of October.
The Western Qin army has always been strictly guarded, so that the Great Food Army did not have any chance to make unscrupulous moves, and had no choice but to withdraw from the lower reaches of the Xindu River in turn.
October 15, the morning meeting. Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and listened to the speeches of the ministers on military and political affairs.
Li Siye stood up and reported: "King, yesterday the Seventh Army sent 800 li to send a report urgently, the Great Food Army has all withdrawn from the lower reaches of the Xindu River within the specified time limit, and the Seventh Army Corps has been stationed under the leadership of Erzhu, fully taken over the defense, and began to exercise military control over the entire lower reaches of the Xindu River!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, has the Government Council sent officials to the lower reaches of the Xindu River to prepare for taking over the management of government affairs?" ”
The second prime minister, Dugu Wen, stood up and arched his hand: "The king, officials have been dispatched!" Before the officials set off, Wei Chen and Prime Minister Liu Wei had already talked to them separately, and asked them to deal with the problems in the lower reaches of the Xindu River in accordance with the established general policy! It's just that the ministers and others think that the lower reaches of the Xindu River should have an official name, and it is too troublesome and not very formal to always call the lower reaches of the Xindu River! ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Then have you thought of the name?" ”
Dugu asked: "Yes, because there are two large mountain ranges running through the north and south in this area, the ministers have taken a name called Jisu Duhufu!" ”
Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, it's called Jisu Duhufu, and the governance office is located in Sukur!" This king has been thinking,The place names of all parts of my West Qin are too localized,Some names are several words,Too difficult to remember,And the name is too long to say are awkward,This is not consistent with my Central Plains culture,Or should be sinicized,Sinicization is from all aspects of bit by bit,Your government Council discussed,Begin to sinicize the place names all over my West Qin,For example, Heng Lusi,Although it is an old name,Used for many years,But as the capital of my West Qin,This name doesn't seem to be very good,Change your name to Xinjing! As for the place names in other places, although the fans have come up with a plan to see how to change the name, the place names cannot be repeated! ”
"Yes, King!"
