Section 72 has merit and demerits

It is the commander's responsibility to learn from the lessons of the war, whether winning or losing. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info - Liu Renliang

In the sweat tent of the Western Turkic Yibilu Khan, Xizuo reported to Yibilu: "Great Khan, the cities of Jiluzhou in the Tang State are full of grain, like a small mountain, and it is impossible to move it for three days and three nights with five hundred strong sons." ”

"Ha, that's really God help me Turkic, I don't have to worry about winter food this year." Obiru laughed.

"We have mastered the military terrain of Jilu Prefecture, and the Great Khan can immediately send troops to grab food." Careful work.

Zhang Xiaojie, the general of the Zuotunwei Guard of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, called a meeting of the generals after receiving the whistleblowers from Xiao Wei and Xiao Zhuang, and said: "I didn't expect Liu Renliang to be a corrupt official who filled his own pockets and fished the people, so immediately send me an elite iron horse to Jilu Prefecture to investigate this matter thoroughly, if it is true, I will be severely punished, and I will immediately arrest Liu Renliang and bring him to the Shuai Mansion for strict interrogation." ”

In the conference hall, Li Jinghan, who had already served as the general of the Sanpin ranger, said: "General, Liu Renliang will never do such a thing. ”

"Do you have any proof?"

"He has made many military exploits over the years, but he has been promoted so slowly, because he is upright, he will not bribe his boss, and he will not give gifts to his superiors."

"Be careful what you say, look at what this is. This is the pleadings of the people of Jilu Prefecture against Liu Renliang. It's not a small matter of two letters. Zhang Xiaojie felt that Jing Han spoke too directly, how could he say the rules of officialdom nakedly.

The Turkic Atabok (1) Fu Nian led 8,000 elite Turkic cavalry straight to Jilu Prefecture.

Aga (2) Ashina Tumen reported to Fu Nian: "Lord Burke, according to the latest information, the grain looted in Jilu Prefecture has been sold to merchants and is to be sold in the Central Plains. Only more than 100 Tang Jun gang businessmen and more than 600 men escorted them along the way. ”

"Oh, that's great, we don't have to attack the city, quickly send an order to the whole army, and we will catch up with that grain caravan at full speed." Fu Nian said.

"Order."

After a long pursuit of five days and five nights, the Turkic army caught up with the grain caravan.

Ashina Tumen looked at the terrain in front of him and said to Fu Nian: "General, the terrain in front is very bad, if there is an ambush, we will ......."

"Needless to say, the traces of the Tang army's march are still new, and the Tang army will be so able to pinch and calculate, knowing that we can catch up with their grain team there. The whole army is assaulting and grabbing food! Fu Nian shouted.

The Tang army did not put up much resistance before all of them fled.

"Ha, ha, ha, quickly turn the grain cart and go home!" Fu Nian didn't expect this piece of fat to be so easy to get his hands on.

The horn of "Woo, woo......" sounded, and dense Tang troops holding rockets appeared on the valleys on both sides.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ren Rail let out a loud shout, and a rocket like a locust set fire to the grain cart, which was not filled with grain at all, but with flammable materials such as sulfur.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Fu Nian shouted.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, and Fu Nian only led less than 400 Turkic cavalry to break through and escape. The rest of the Turkic soldiers were ghosts in a foreign land.

The whole valley resounded with the cheers of the victory of the Don army.

The grain finished its due role, and the grain piled up in the granary of the city was ordered to be returned to the people by Rendu.

And according to the amount of seized booty and the amount of grain collected by the people, the few people were also given more than a dozen Kaiyuan Tongbao, and those with more grain could also receive two or three yuan of money, which was counted as the rent for renting grain.

Villager Zhang Liudao: "I didn't expect General Zhichong to be so good, not only collecting grain as bait, but also sending us money." You should have told us earlier, so that we wouldn't have scolded the general. ”

Bing Cao Zhuangyu said: "If I didn't deceive you first, how could I deceive the Turks?" ”

"Yes, yes, I knew that I wouldn't hide the food, and I took it all out and dedicated it to the general, ha." Zhang Liu said happily.

Ren Liang called Deputy General Wei Hong and said, "Vice General Wei, sit down." ”

"What is the General looking for me?"

"I'd like to hear your opinion on the whole battle of the Turkic cavalry in Jiapigou."

"Oh, my lord, do you need any advice on this? We surrounded the Turks and gave them a great victory. ”

"Didn't you think further? It is the commander's responsibility to learn from the lessons of the war, whether winning or losing. ”

Villager He Kang and villager Zhang Liu were driving the grain cart home, and on the way they met Li Jinghan leading the elite cavalry towards the city.

He Kang asked a group of scout cavalry who stopped to rest: "Master Jun, what are you doing in the city?" ”

"Liu Renliang is violently collecting and greedy for the people's food, let's arrest him."

"Ahh He Kang was taken aback and asked Zhang Liudao, "Uncle Zhang, how is this good?" Master Jun, Lord Liu is not greedy for the food of the people. ”

Zhang Xiaojie, the general of the Zuotunwei Guard of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, convened a meeting of his generals again, and said: "This official called everyone here to discuss how to deal with Liu Renliang, and those who are greedy for ink are not worthy of commanding the army. ”

As he was talking, Li Jinghan took Liu Renliang to Zhang Xiaojie's marshal mansion and explained everything to the generals present.

When General Zhang's deputy, Champion General Wang Pengyun, heard this, he laughed and said: "Ha, ha, ha, Liu Renliang did a good job, he eliminated the Turkic cavalry, and he also won a lot of trophies, he should be rewarded, you are a hero." ”

Ren Rail: "These are just the things of our soldiers, of course, in order to encourage the meritorious subordinates, I want to reward all the trophies to the brothers below according to their merits." ”

"According to the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, this is completely fine." Respectfully.

"General Zuo Tunwei should agree to your little request." Wang Pengyun said with a smile.

"Heroes? Champion General, what nonsense are you talking about? If you have any military action, you should report it to the Zuotunwei Mansion first. However, you decided to attack on your own. How can one be considered a hero who ignores military orders? General Liu, have you even forgotten the military order? ”

"General Zhang, of course I know the military order."

"Why don't you report it in advance?"

"General Zhang, he should be caught off guard by the enemy." Peng Yun helped explain on the side.

"He set up an ambush to fight the enemy, and this is not a defense, but an attack." Zhang Xiaojie said.

"Yes, I was planning to attack and destroy the enemy." Ren orbit.

"So, why don't you report it?"

"I'm worried about leaking the news."

"Daring, are you worried that my dignified general will leak the news to the Turks?" Lao Zhang shouted angrily.

"My lord, no, the Turkic cavalry is free to come and go on our borders, and I suspect that some of our messengers have been bought by them."

"General Zhang, what he said also makes sense, after all, his garrison area is too far away from the marshal's mansion, waiting for the messenger to deliver orders back and forth, the Turkic cavalry has already arrived in the city." Jiang Heng, an old Zhang's lieutenant, said.

"Enough, you are Liu Renliang's direct boss, you are also responsible for this incident, do you dare to shield the sinner?" Lao Zhang shouted.

Lao Jiang was forced by Lao Zhang's prestige, so he had to shut up.

"Forget it, General Liu has wiped out a large number of Turkic soldiers, and General Zhang doesn't reward him, just let him offset his merits." Pengyun Road.

Lao Zhang glanced at the surrounding generals with his eyes, and saw that everyone was bowing slightly.

(1) Atabok: An official position of the Turks, equivalent to the miscellaneous generals of the Tang Dynasty

(2) Aga: The official position of the Turks, equivalent to the head of a thousand households.
