Chapter 22: Secretly Sending Troops to Cover the Sky and Crossing the Sea (6)

[After three months of hard work, I finally have more than 10,000 collections. Thank you for joining us. Next, I will write more carefully and repay your support. The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Things are going smoothly according to the plan. Hearing that Miao Zhi had already sent back the scheduled military information, Han Gang immediately turned angry and said sharply: "Don't be bold, you are just a clown, but you have repeatedly obstructed the king's affairs. The previous time Xingluo Jiebu followed Dong Yu to attack Gu Wei, he had already let him and his brother go at that time. I didn't expect this person to be so wicked that he dared to commit it again and again. The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived, and this time we cannot let them go! It is also necessary to let the people understand that the imperial court not only has a harmonious spring breeze, but also a storm and thunder! ”

Han Gang was stern, and his acting skills were a little too much, but the officials in the hall secretly applauded. They didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao, they were born and raised in Kansai, and they had an unforgettable hatred for foreign races, and Han Gang's words spoke to the bottom of their hearts.

Wang Hou followed the case closely: "Yukun said it well! If these people are willing to obey the heavens and return to the people as soon as possible, the court will not hesitate to reward them. But if today's Beiqiang Xingluo Jie is so stupid, he should be severely punished to set an example! ”

Gao Zunyu agreed: "Yukun, what I said is exactly what I want." If this thief is not removed, how can he pacify the river. ”

"Quickly pass Zhao Longlai!" Wang Shao immediately ordered.

He picked up the pen and quickly wrote an urgent recital, which was sent back to Qinzhou urgently. Then a military order was written in a few strokes, signed and stamped, and handed it to Gao Zunyu for signature. When Zhao Long was ordered to arrive, Wang Shao handed him the military order that had been sealed and sealed, and explained: "You lead a team to Weiyuan quickly, let Miao Zhu carefully measure the enemy's situation, and everything can be decided on the spot, and if necessary, go straight to the enemy's nest, capture Qiang and return, so as to boost the prestige of the imperial court!" ”

Zhao Long received the order with indignation, knelt down on one knee, took the military order with both hands, and then the majestic body like a mountain rose up, turned around, stepped out of the hall with heavy steps, and a gust of wind.

Wang Shao lowered his head as if he thought for a moment, and said to himself: "If Miao Zhu sends troops to Xingluojie, Weiyuan will have no one in charge." If the thieves take advantage of the emptiness of Weiyuan to raid the city, the Miao Zhu in front of him will not be able to protect himself. Depending on the situation, we can't help but go to Weiyuan to sit down......" He raised his head and said to Gao Zunyu, "In the next few days, Gu Weike will be tired of the public." ”

Gao Zunyu nodded and smiled at Wang Shao: "Zichun can rest assured that he will go, Gu Wei will not lose, I will wait for Zichun to send the good news back." ”

"Yukun," thanked Gao Zunyu, and Wang Shao then instructed Han Gang: "Although Weiyuan has prepared a lot of grain and weapons from the beginning in order to guard against the surprise attack of the thieves, the military situation is changeable, and no one can say what will change, and the materials prepared may not be enough, and they must be sent from Guwei." I will leave the matter of transfer in the army before and after. You prepared a lot of grain and grass weapons in Gu Weiduo, and transported them to the Weiyuan army in time. ”

Han Gang clenched his fists and replied: "Rest assured, the lower officials will definitely do their best." ”

After receiving the promise of the two, Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, "Half of the military strength in the city went to Weiyuan to protect the wings and build the city, fortunately they are there, otherwise as long as there are 100 horsemen, they can kill all the people who built the city." However, Gu Wei has lost half of his troops, and the rest can no longer be mobilized. Second brother, you go and inform Zhang Xiang'er to come to see me, and tomorrow you will let Nazhi Lin Zhan set off with the army. ”

Wang Hou received the order, and hurriedly went out to find Zhang Xiang'er - when an urgent message came from Weiyuan, the old fox should be dug out of his lair and prevented him from pretending to be sick to hide, and only Wang Hou and a few other people could do it.

From the moment he first entered the door and heard the news of the raid on Weiyuan by the Tibetan people, to the present Wang Shao ordered Miao to face the battle, and decided to sit in Weiyuan in person, a series of things happened, so that Zhiyuan couldn't react. Seeing Fang Cai's wonderful performance, Zhiyuan couldn't have imagined that all these arrangements had actually been determined a long time ago, but in order to conceal the truth about the initiative to provoke the war here, he deliberately performed it in front of him, hoping that he could pass it back to Qinzhou.

The battle was imminent, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu had no time to chat with Zhiyuan, and said no, and asked Han Gang to send him back to his residence to rest. Han Gang turned his head, sent Zhiyuan out of the hall, and sighed, "It's a pity that the master has worked hard. I thought of sending the master to persuade Beiqiang, who would have thought that he would go all the way to the dark. He asked the master to stay in Guwei for a few days, and waited for the good news of Weiyuan to come back, and then went to comfort the dead. ”

Zhiyuan did not respond. There was something in Wang Shao's disposition that he couldn't figure out, and he asked Han Gang: "Why don't you order the Qingtang Department to fight?" When it comes to military strength, the Qingtang Department should be in the Nazhi Linzhan Tribe......" As soon as he was halfway through his words, he said vigilantly, "The poor monk has said a lot, and please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter! Even if the master doesn't ask about these things, I still have to say them. In the future, the master will walk on the border of the river, and his understanding of the Tibetan region is an indispensable lesson. Han Gang explained to Zhiyuan, "The last two victories were all fought to appease and drive the Tibetan people to fight. Yu Longke and the blind medicine have not yet fully submitted to the imperial court, and it is also because they are conceited of the military power in their hands and refuse to give in. Now that they have the opportunity, they have to let Yu Longke and Blind Medicine see the strength of the official army, so that they don't think they are irreplaceable. ”

After listening to Han Gang's words, Zhiyuan wanted to speak again and again, because Han Gang was not answering his question. Han Gang smiled knowingly, "Although Nazhi Linzhan is nominally a Tibetan department, they are all descendants of the Han people who trapped Tibet back then, and the clan chiefs are all surnamed Zhang. has always been close to the imperial court, and here, it is much closer than the Qingtang Ministry. It can be regarded as a Han Chinese. ”

"I see. The poor monk was taught. Zhiyuan raised his palm and saluted, "If you can completely defeat Beiqiang this time, you can take advantage of the situation to take Di Dao in the future and pacify the Wusheng army." ”

Hangang is now located in Guwei, and between Muzheng's Hezhou, there is a land with a radius of two hundred miles. It was originally Dong Yu's territory, now known as Wushengjun, which belonged to Lintao County in the later days, and was the place where Taoshui [now Tao River], a tributary of the Yellow River, flowed. In the Tang Dynasty, this place belonged to Lanzhou, and in the Five Dynasties, it was named Wushengjun.

If the subjugation of today's Tubo Zanpu Dong Yu is the ultimate symbol of Wang Shao's expansion of Bian Hehuang, then defeating Mu Zheng and conquering Hezhou is a necessary condition to achieve the goal. And the Wusheng Army, which stood in front of Hezhou, was the first to occupy.

Han Gang pointed to the mountains to the west, "If you really want to think about it, Weiyuan can be regarded as the boundary of the Wusheng Army." Over the source of the Weishui Bird and Mouse Mountain, the opposite side is Taoshui. Di Dao, the center of Wusheng's army, is on the edge of Taoshui, and Weiyuan is only more than a hundred miles away. ”

"If the poor monk remembers correctly, Di Dao is Lintao." The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night, so far he has peeped at the herding horses and dared not pass Lintao. Now that Lintao has been in Hulu for hundreds of years, I don't know when I will be able to reproduce the grand occasion of the old Tang Dynasty. When Master Xuanzang learned the scriptures and returned, his scriptures have been scattered after many years. If you can travel to the Western Regions and re-take the scriptures from Tianzhu, it will be a great merit that can be passed down through the ages. ”

"The power of the Tang Dynasty is indeed admirable." Han Gang sighed leisurely, "The river that is hard fought for today is just the land of several states back then. The six major protectorates of Andong, Anbei, Shan Yu, Anxi, Beiting, and Annan, which are all under the Tang Dynasty, have a wide area, and any one of them can compare with half of the current dynasty. ”

Before the Anshi Rebellion, although the Tang Dynasty had several major defeats against Tibet, its national power gradually extended to the Western Regions. And the land of Hehuang at that time was also led by the Tang Dynasty. The two major protectorates of Anxi and Beiting have expanded thousands of miles for the Han family in the Western Regions. This glory is still sung in the mouths of the people in the northwest. Even today's son, Zhao Ji, is deeply impressed by Tang Taizong's achievements, and then admires it.

Of course, the land of Hehuang fell into the hands of the Tubo people, and it was also lost by the Tang Dynasty - it was because of the great decline of the Central Plains after the Anshi Rebellion. Since the beginning of Tibet, Shatuo, Dangxiang, and Khitan have invaded the Central Plains, and the consequences are the main reason why the Song Dynasty has always been difficult to exalt. And the national policy of Yanwu Xiuwen was also formed naturally because of the rebellion of the warriors of the five generations of the late Tang Dynasty who killed their fathers and the ministers killed the king, which left too deep fear on the monarchs and ministers in the early Song Dynasty.

But Han Gang has no intention of mentioning these again, it is unnecessary to compare them with the good, and it is unnecessary to compare them with the bad ones - after all, there are always worse ones. Always thinking that there will be worse ones in the future, but there is no motivation to improve.

Zhiyuan would not say these unpleasant words, he was even more reminded of Han Gang's words, and what was hidden in his eyes was not at all the peace that belonged to the monks: "Back then, Li Weigong and many other famous generals defeated the Turks and broke the Uighurs, so that the Hu people did not dare to look eastward. Now, the Son of Heaven of the Han family wants to redefine the western soil, and he will not be famous, and he is also today! ”

……………………

"Observe, Wang Shao of the Eastern Dynasty has become more and more aggressive since he received the Fate Bian Pacification Division. This time he can build a fort in Weiyuan, and tomorrow he will be able to cross the Dalai Valley to build a city in Didao. When he waited for the Wusheng army under his control, I don't know if he could keep Hezhou? ”

Mu Zheng leaned against a pile of felt blankets with his eyes half-closed. He was the assassin of Hezhou in the Song Dynasty, and the observer of Hezhou in the Xia. The Song people called him a stabbing history, and the messenger of the Yu Zang family in front of him called him to observe, and he did the same.

"Isn't this not hitting Di Dao yet, I just need to keep Hezhou." Mu Zheng said lazily.

Mu Zheng is not a very ambitious person. He had no interest in expanding with troops, and he had no intention of competing with his uncle for the position of Tibetan Zampu. As long as he doesn't hit his doorstep, he will only send some troops to join in the fun, and he will never fight hard with others.

When his father died young, he was forced to abandon Hezhou and hide in Anjiang City in the northwest. Later, he gathered his troops, but he only stopped after returning to Hezhou. Wu Shengjun was originally the territory of his second brother Dong Yu. After Dong Yu's death, Mu Zheng naturally took over the land, but he did not keep it for himself, but gave it to his other younger brother, Blind Wu Qi. Compared with his second brother whose heart is higher than the sky, Mu Zheng's temperament can be regarded as a little rich and peaceful.
