For Yang Hongxin, if he gets the help of the Zhenwu Army and the Dangxiang people, plus he gets Lingzhou, where a large number of Tuyuhun people live, he will naturally have the capital to confront the Tubo people. This can be regarded as a very clear road map for the Tuyuhun people to conquer the country in the south.

So, what about Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou to the west, and opening up the sand melon?

In the Tang Dynasty, the area of Lingzhou (now Yinchuan) belonged to the Shuofang Military Festival, to the west was Liangzhou, which belonged to the Hexi Festival, and then to the west to Guazhou and Shazhou (now Dunhuang) was under the jurisdiction of the Shagua Festival. After the rise of the Tibetans, they defeated the Tang army, occupied Liangzhou, and even occupied Lingzhou for a time, making Shazhou and Guazhou islands.

Later, the Tibetans fought against the Uighurs and defeated the Uighurs, and eventually Shazhou and Guazhou also surrendered to Tibet.

But the Tibetan people have a characteristic, they don't care if they kill or bury them! The war is very strong, but it never engages in construction.

Since the Han Dynasty began to build, gradually populated Shazhou, Guazhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Liangzhou, are the five major cities that maintained the Silk Road, to the Tang Dynasty, has become a string of pearls known on the Silk Road. However, under the rule of the Tibetans, this string of pearls quickly fell into depression, and the enslaved people of all nationalities suffered unspeakably.

Soon, the people rose up.

Zhang Yichao, a famous Han hero in history, pulled out a Guiyi army to rebel, resisted the rule of the Tubo people, killed all the Tubo people in Shazhou and Guazhou, and defeated the Tubo army that came to crusade, recovered the five prefectures of Shagua, Gansu and Liang, and reconnected with the Central Plains.

It's a pity that there was civil strife within the Guiyi Army later.

There is no way, the ancestors have long said that the Han people are always like this, but they can not share prosperity and prosperity, and the major dynasties in history have been tossed again and again, and they have declined after prosperity, most of them have responded to this sentence. This is the inferior nature of the Han people.

The Guiyi army was in chaos, and although the Tubo people had no morale, the Uighurs who were driven away by the Tubo people held back for a long time. The enemies of the Guiyi army then became the Uighurs. The Uighurs are back!

In the end, the Guiyi army could only hold the two prefectures of Shagua, and the Uighurs occupied the three prefectures of Liang, Gansu, and the two prefectures of Shagua became isolated islands again.

At this time in 936, the Guiyi army had already established itself as the king, called Jinshan Kingdom, and the emperor was Zhang Chengfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yichao.

He Daxian's condition to Yang Hongxin is that he will first fight the west, run away from the Huihuns, open up the sand melons, and bring back the Guiyi army, and then I will support you to go south to fight Tubo, fight back to your royal city of Fuqicheng, and rebuild the glory of the Tuyuhun people.

Of course, the first step now, you have to help me get the party members together!

The next morning, the sky was bright, and the 2,000 Linzhou cavalry left Linzhou and ran down the mountain along the Kuye River upstream.

The Dingyan army that confronted the Zhenwu army across the river discovered the movement of the Linzhou cavalry, and was afraid that the Yinzhou behind them would be attacked, so Li Yimin, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, gave an order, and the 10,000 Dingyan army cavalry gave up the confrontation with the Zhenwu army, left the river, and left in the direction of Yinzhou.

As soon as Li Yimin's army withdrew, the Zhenwu army began to cross the river, entered the territory of the Dingyan army, and also marched in the direction of Yinzhou.

In the afternoon, 5,000 Zhenwu cavalry and 2,000 Linzhou cavalry soldiers approached Yinzhou City, and Li Yimin led 10,000 troops in Yinzhou City to hold the city and not go out, and at the same time find someone to report to Xiazhou. At the same time, the other 5,000 foot soldiers of the Zhenwu army, led by Zhao Sang, marched south along the Wuding River, and in the evening, reached the southernmost city under the jurisdiction of the Dingyan army, Suizhou.

There was no word for the night, and neither side sent troops to contact that night.

The next morning, the morning sun was rising, and the city of Suizhou, which was filled with mountain mist, gradually emerged in front of the five thousand foot soldiers of the Zhenwu army.

Suizhou is built in a valley, surrounded by the wide and rapid Wuding River, forming a natural moat. The walls are seven meters high and are all made of solid mountain stones.

This is another fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Xiazhou, as the capital of the Dingyan Army's envoys, is the largest city, with a population of 200,000 and 50,000 garrisons, and the other three cities each have 10,000 garrisons.

Suizhou is one of the four big cities of the Dingyan Army, with a population of 70,000 and 10,000 cavalry.

5,000 Zhenwu soldiers want to attack a fortified city surrounded by a natural river, and there are 10,000 cavalry in the city! Is it possible?

No way!

Therefore, Zhao Sang's action was to spread out the five thousand foot soldiers in front of the north gate of Suizhou and wait quietly.

In a city with a population of 70,000, so many people have to eat, drink, go out for autumn travel, do business, run transportation, run boats, come out to herd sheep, go up the mountain to cultivate terraces, all walks of life, they have to get up at dawn every day to plan, otherwise how to feed the family tonight!

Everybody's busy!

Nima, as soon as the Zhenwu army came, everyone was forced to stop today, and they closed the city gate faster than anyone else.

That's too much, isn't it?

You said that if an army of 50,000 came to besiege the city, there was no way, everyone could shut up, so everyone had to take up their spears and hide behind the city walls to defend the city. But this Zhenwu army is only 5,000 foot soldiers! And people didn't want to talk about attacking the city, they just blocked your city gate, and whoever dared to go out would shoot whoever they wanted!

What does this mean? You're just here to make trouble?

After the initial panic passed, the people of Suizhou had an opinion!

Nima who! Who led the Suizhou Army? What about the 10,000 cavalry under your command?

The taxpayers support you, and they all go to work here to clock in and wait for dinner? Hurry up and go out to fight, drive away this pesky Zhenwu army, the urinal poop buckets and garbage on the street are still waiting to be dumped out of the city gate!

So, the gate of Suizhou City finally opened, and rows of Suizhou cavalry rushed out!

There was a river in front of the city gate, which was very wide, so there was no drawbridge, only a solid stone bridge. The stone bridge is so narrow that it can only pass three horses at the same time, or two large carts in parallel.

The reason why the stone bridge is narrow is naturally to prevent the enemy army from rushing over, but the problem is that now people are not rushing over, but you want to rush out yourself, so you have to pass through this narrow bridge too!

As soon as the Suizhou cavalry rushed out, they were immediately attacked by the archers of the Zhenwu Army who were waiting for them!

The feathered arrows of more than a dozen fart soldiers came from three different directions, knocking down the cavalry who had just run onto the stone bridge, and more than a dozen people instantly rolled off their horses and fell into the rolling uncertain river and disappeared.

We all know that the equipment of the Dingyan army is poor, and the protection of the heavy cavalry is far from that of the Zhenwu army and the Khitan army.

However, since the Dingyan Army has launched a charge, it will naturally not be so easy to stop.

The 80,000 iron cavalry of the Dingyan army shocked the area of the Western Regions, and when they saw the Tubo and Uighurs, they would kill and fight when they said they would fight, and they were not polite at all! The party cavalry can fight, and it is not bragged by the sour literati, it is all shot with a knife!

Do you think that the Western Xia Empire, which appeared later in the official history, was made of mud? That is the two superpowers of the Northern Resistance to the Khitan and the Eastern Resistance to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Predator Cavalry of the Armed Forces of the People's Republic of China for nearly two hundred years!

More cavalry rushed out, rushed across the stone bridge, dispersed, and launched a decisive charge towards the black and suppressed Zhenwu Army infantry positions in front!

"Kill!" (To be continued.) )
