Chapter 616: King Pensto

Chapter 616 King Pensto Sometimes you have to admire the madness of His Royal Highness Zhao, the Great Song Dynasty founded the country with humanity, and paid attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame in doing things, but there was such a strange thing as His Royal Highness Zhao.

Open a Grand Canal, there is a shortage of manpower, so I want to rob it, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Greater China has never heard of running to foreign races to arrest laborers.

No matter how incredible this thing is, at least Zhao Yougong dares to think and dare to do it, and he can't harm the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty and Western Xia in the north can't be annoyed lightly, but there are still many people in the west.

There was no New Year's Month, Dingxi Commander Pang He and Dingnan Commander Xiao Zhiyun, Waiga General Xiao Yue, Gao Chong led 40,000 troops to Hezhou, and at the same time, the Jishi Battalion commanded Huang Yun to go west into Xizhou, at the same time, Wu Jue also sent Liu Jian soldiers out of Hengshan and stationed on the southern mountainside of Hengshan, which frightened the Western Xia people.

Since entering the second half of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Ding* power has expanded rapidly, and now there are 110,000 troops stationed in Hengshan, Yinzhou, Linfu, and Wuzhou alone, plus 30,000 permanent troops in Dayangtan, and the male soldiers of Xiao Zhiyun's army in the south of Guanzhong, there are always nearly 170,000 troops.

Although there are now 30,000 troops distributed to Henan Mansion, the remaining soldiers and horses are enough for Western Xia to drink a pot.

Since the winter of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Western Xia began to shrink its forces, and strictly ordered the departments not to go south to attack and disturb the border of Guanzhong, which was unimaginable in the past, thinking that the Western Xia cavalry would come to the border of the Great Song Dynasty to fight the grass valley in the winter of the previous year, but now it is good, the Great Xia Kingdom should worry about coming to the Western Xia to fight the grass valley.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Zhao has been busy suppressing bandits last year, otherwise his crooked brain may really toss the Xixia people.

Now the Western Xia has poured the power of the whole country to build an army of 110,000, but half of the soldiers and horses are stationed near Yinzhou City, and Wu Jue is letting the horses go west.

Another 30,000 troops were stationed in Hongzhou and Longzhou, and another 20,000 troops were stationed in Xingqing Prefecture, leaving less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the northeast and southwest.

Possibly?

Therefore, a series of troop and horse transfers can bring a lot of pressure to Li Bingzuo.

Since Huang Yun led the troops into Xizhou, Li Bingzuo hurriedly sent an urgent report to Xingqing Mansion, and Li Qianshun had no choice but to follow Li Bingzuo's wishes and let Tan Yuanpei lead 10,000 Xiangqing troops to aid Xiliang Mansion.

Even with Li Bingzuo, he also transferred the army out of Longzhou and rushed to the vicinity of Rouwolf Mountain.

Speaking carefully, Li Bingzuo is really desperate to do this, as long as you dare to invade the Great Xia Kingdom, His Royal Highness Li will be able to throw Longzhou away.

He also had to lead the army into Qinfeng Road and turn Guanzhong upside down.

Li Bingzuo is old and has a stable temperament, when has he ever seen him so crazy, he actually didn't leave a single soldier for Longzhou.

It seems that Li Bingzuo's behavior is no different from that of a madman, but he is really helpless to do this, Longzhou is bare and naked, if he really wants to attack.

If you can't defend it, then you simply don't defend it, and take out all the available forces to attack against it.

If you cut off one of my arms, I will cut off two of your fingers.

Although it is still a loss, at least it makes the other party feel pain.

After such a long period of investigation, Li Bingzuo has some understanding of Zhao Yougong, although Zhao seems to be ruthless, he actually cares about his own people very much.

Otherwise, Niu Gao, Han Shizhong and the others would not have been so desperate for this young man.

So, if not necessary.

Zhao Yougong will not bury his subordinates lightly, even if it is two hundred for eight hundred.

He seems to have always sought to get the most out of the fewest casualties.

Li Bingzuo was always ready to fight hard with Ding*, but his old man was really worried too much this time, because His Royal Highness Zhao was not thinking about starting a war with Western Xia.

Just kidding, now that Guanzhong has just stabilized, he is fighting to the death with the Xixia people, isn't that a fool?

This time the troops were dispatched, and His Royal Highness Zhao was actually for the Huangtou Hui in northern Golmud, and of course, to fight the Huangtou Hui meant to fight the Xizhou Uighurs.

Originally, the yellow-headed Uighurs, grass-headed Tatars, and Uighurs all belonged to the Tiele tribe of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui fought in the Western Regions, defeated the Western Turks, and the Tiele people attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and the Uighurs began civil strife at the end of the Tang Dynasty, so they were divided into three different tribes, especially the Xizhou Uighurs and the Huangtou Uighurs, which were simply a pair of enemies of life and death, and it was precisely because of the contradictions between the Xizhou Uighurs and the Huangtou Uighurs that Li Bingzuo went west that year to defeat the Xizhou Uighurs in a war and kill the 30,000 troops of the Uighur tribes.

The Tangut people can fight back to the Eagles, and His Royal Highness Zhao can naturally fight too, but it is just that the Huangtou Hui and Qinfeng Road are separated by the various tribes of Tubo.

Although there are various departments in Tibet, Zhao Yougong is not worried, because today's Tibet is not like the Tibet in the Tang Dynasty.

Since the fall of the Yaze Dynasty, Tibet has fallen into civil strife, although the later Yalong Juea also temporarily unified the Tibetan Plateau, but the good times did not last long, Yalong Juea died too early, as soon as he died, the three sons were separated.

Among them, the eldest son Bade occupied Zhangxiong, the second son Hude moved to Qinghai, the third son Kid Si Kang, and the royal city was located in Gama Danza City.

After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the descendants of Hude were called King Tsongkha and called their ministers to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in a way, the relationship between the Ministry of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty is a subordinate relationship.

It's a pity that in the Huizong period, with the power of the Tangut people growing, the Tubo people living in Qinghai are no longer so respectful of the Great Song Dynasty, although the Tubo people have no action now, but once the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, the Tubo people are bound to cooperate with the Tangut people to plunder the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yougong waved his troops back to the Yellow Head, and by the way, he wanted to subdue these wavering Tubo people.

If it was two hundred years ago, in the face of the huge Tubo Dynasty, Zhao Yougong naturally did not dare to start a war lightly, but now, it is easy to subdue the Tubo people in Qinghai.

There are two main tribes of the Tubo people who are active in the Qinghai area, one is the Mengke tribe in the Qaidam River area, and the other is the Zhuoerma tribe near Qingtang City.

Qingtang City, that is, Shanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Huang Yunshu's case and stationed in Xizhou, Zhuoerma of Qingtang City felt a different atmosphere.

Now in the northwest departments, who doesn't know the prestige of Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, in the year of the weak crown, he stirred up the storm in the northwest, and now he sent troops to Xizhou, what can be a good thing?

Nominally, Qingtang City is under the jurisdiction of Xining Prefecture, but in fact, Qingtang City is completely autonomous, and Fengxiang Mansion couldn't manage it here before, so Zhuoerma was very happy, and the tribe raised some cattle and sheep, and then exchanged some grain and other things with the Great Song Dynasty.

The days are free.

However, now that Guanzhong is the master of His Royal Highness King Qin, with His Royal Highness Zhao's ability and temperament, can he still let most places in Qinghai go unattended?

Zhuo Erma was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect the decision to come so soon, and it wasn't even the first month yet.

began to dispatch troops, do you want to be so anxious?

Just when Zhuoerma thought that he would immediately launch an action around Qinghai, Huang Yun's troops stopped in Xizhou, and there was no sign of progress, and even Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhiyun's troops did not move.

On the surface, it seems that Ding* was a little frightened by Li Bingzuo of Western Xia.

Actually?

Gao Chong had already commanded an elite army to the south, and arrived in Seda City two days later, and then Xiao Yue immediately waved his troops to aid Seda City, and after joining forces with Gao Chong, an army of nearly 10,000 people suddenly appeared in the east of Baiyu City.

Before the Tubo people could react, they directly led the army to capture the White Jade City on the banks of the Jinsha River.

The White Jade City is owned by Pondoy, the descendant of Kidd, and now it is determined to occupy the White Jade City, which is equivalent to blocking the gateway for the eastward advance of the Tubo warriors of the Dare to Sibu, which can make Pentto angry.

On the same day, 20,000 foot soldiers were ordered to set off from Gama Dansa City and arrived at the periphery of White Jade City on the 26th day of the first month.

Although it is approaching the end of the first month, the northwest plateau is still hunting in the cold wind.

can be frozen into ice slag.

In the area of the Jinsha River, counting from the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been no fighting for 120 years now.

In addition, Pensto has lived in Gama Dansa City for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the Song Dynasty, and what he got is just heard, it is said that the Song soldiers are weak and can be bullied, and they have repeatedly defeated the Khitans, so a group of soft goods dare to fight Baiyucheng.

It has to be said that Penstor's ignorance made him arrogant.

Xiao Yue has fought for so many years.

It was also the first time I had seen such an arrogant person as Pensto.

Gama Dansa City is ten miles away from White Jade City, and in the middle is a barren grassland.

Under normal circumstances, you should bring at least three days' worth of rations.

But Pensto didn't, and his subordinates brought a day's rations, and the subsequent heavy grain and grass army had nothing.

It is said that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, but Pensto went the other way, the grain and grass did not move, and the soldiers and horses went first.

After getting the scout's reward, Gao Chong smashed his mouth, touched his beard, and grinned dryly, "General Xiao, what kind of person is this Pensto, is he so confident that he can defeat Baiyu City in one day?" Are we all muddy? ”

Xiao Yue couldn't understand what Pensto thought, no matter how he said Ding* is also known as the northwest of the town, even the Great Liao Tiefutu has to retreat when he sees it, this is good, he meets someone who is stronger than Ding*, Xiao Yue thinks, this Pensto is not the first god general in the world, or the first fool in the world.

Isn't it going to besiege the city?

Okay, let you attack, you Tubo Xiong soldiers always have to cross the Jinsha River, hum, when you cross the Jinsha River, let's see the real chapter again.

"General Gao, please lead the cavalry around Jiangda City first"

Xiao Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, although he didn't say what he wanted to do, he believed that Gao Chong would definitely be able to understand the deep meaning.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, the sun shone brightly, and 20,000 Tubo soldiers launched a formation in the south and east of Baiyu City. ”

Xiao Yuli ignored Pensto, he was a little afraid that Pensto was a strange man, but now when he sees it, he is really a reckless man, hehe, the descendants of Songtsen Gampo are really getting more and more uncompetitive, Pensto is stupid like this, then Jemasi has not been able to swallow Gamma Dansa City, it can be seen that Jemasi is not much stronger.

However, Zhuoerma and Munch near Qinghai are a bit tricky.

Pence was dressed in a tiger skin robe, with a circle around his neck, and his short limbs, teeth and claws, like a big bear with his upper limbs raised.

Pensto drank and scolded as much as he could, and the soldiers at the head of the city were not annoyed, but laughed one by one, completely treating Pensto as a trick.

Being so despised, Pensto was furious, snatched a machete from his own soldiers, glared at him and shouted, "Siege, siege, kill those Han dogs......"

Pensto is really too arrogant, he didn't even have a ladder when he came, let alone a city crash car, Xiao Yue was a little anxious for Pensto, he didn't have any siege equipment at all, how to climb the city wall, did he rely on the Tubo warriors to stack Arhats?

Under the White Jade City, Pensto was beaten to the ground, and he only attacked twice, but he failed to touch the city wall, and now Pensto also understood how stupid he was.

was thinking about how to continue the siege of the city, there was bad news from the rear, a Han cavalry suddenly appeared along the Jinsha River, I don't know what magic tricks were used, boom, the Jinsha Bridge collapsed.

Jinsha Bridge is an important bridge on both sides of the Jinsha River, from the east bank to the west bank most of them have to pass through the Jinsha Bridge, now the Jinsha Bridge is destroyed, if you want to go to the west bank, you have to go around to the north of Baiyu City near Katuo, through Jiangda City back to Gama Dansa City.

At this moment, Pensto's face turned red, he felt that these Han people were too despicable, and they had the ability to fight in an upright manner, what kind of ability did they have to play so many conspiracies and tricks?

King Pensto came in such a hurry that he couldn't help but have no food, he didn't even bring a tent, and after a day of tossing, seeing that it was getting dark, what should the tribal warriors do?

This is the Tibetan Plateau, the cold wind at night pierces people's cheeks, if there is no tent to keep warm, wouldn't it be frostbitten?

Pensto was hopelessly stupid, staying outside Bai Yu City and was frozen to death, so it was better to transfer quickly, so Pensto did not rest, and directly ordered to go north, marching along the Jinsha River all the way, and finally arrived near Katuo at the time of Hai, Katuo, also known as the interface of the two rivers, the north is the Tongtian River, the south is the Jinsha River, after coming to Katuo, Pensto finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when the city of Seda is passed tomorrow, you can return to the royal capital, and then you must transfer a large army to take revenge.

According to the normal situation, Gao Zhong held the cavalry, no matter how he said, he should come to harass him, and did not let the Tubo people rest, but this night was unharmed, Pensto was tired, and he slept until dawn, and when the sun was drying his buttocks, Pensto remembered to quickly flee back to Gama Dansa City.

The journey from Katuo Town to Seda was quite normal, not to mention hindering, and I didn't even see the shadow of Ding*.

The evil door is evil, Pensto touched the huge brain, full of doubts, didn't he say that the Han people had cavalry, why did they buy it to pursue?

Pensto was a bit stupid, but not stupid enough to think that a two-legged man could outrun a four-legged horse.
