On the afternoon of the 18th, Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang led the main force to Baishanshu, and then sent troops to dig a trench in the open area west of the military fort, preparing to build a strong camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I'm not worried about a sneak attack by the enemy, it's mainly for the sake of logistics and grass storage.

It is one hundred and eighty miles from the Ulanxi River Fort to Baishanshu, and every thirty or forty miles on the way, a camp needs to be built as a post station, and a small number of troops are stationed. The transfer of grain and grass is an extremely troublesome matter, from Lingzhou to Ulan by the five regiments of Quan Daojin personally responsible, Liang Guiben from Ulan to Baishanshu.

When he arrived at Baishanshu, he really entered the territory of Liangzhou, and it was not clear how many total troops he had in Jiashi. From some war reports last winter, coupled with the population data of the people in Liangzhou, Zhang Yue concluded that this battle was not so easy to fight.

Whether it is Shen Nianru of the Liugu Department after the Tubo servant slave department, or Zhe Jiashi after the rebels at the end of the rebellion, the sense of independence is very strong. In that year, Zhang Yichao, the rebel army, took Liangzhou, but did not achieve actual rule. And Wang Tinghan, Zhou Jianzhang and others after the town army at the end of the Tang Dynasty, because the Han population was too small, could not form a strong voice.

Thinking of it, Zhang Yue was a little angry, this expedition was based on the Changyi Army as the main force, but he was awarded the deputy envoy to arrest, and Hou Zhang temporarily led the Shuofang Army as the main envoy. Li Shiwen and the others were guest troops, and they were going to return to the town after the battle, and the tedious and laborious work of camping naturally couldn't be their turn, and they marched and camped all the way, and Zhang Yue was sent to Xuan Chongwen.

Xuan Chongwen has been in the army for a few years, but he does not have much experience in marching operations, so he is full of theoretical knowledge and just put it into practice, so he led three infantry regiments and a horse regiment of the Zhenyuan Army to be responsible for the hands, and asked the craftsmen of the army to measure. Let the Baoding army Yao Keding and Ma Tan lead the troops to go out to cut wood and transport it back, and assist.

Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang took their horses around, observed the terrain, and pointed out that it was probably convenient to enter the military office in the fort for tea, and Feng Jianjie, the deputy commander of the scout battalion, accompanied them on the side.

"Feng Jianjie! Early tomorrow morning, you will follow Shen Jingang and Du Ximi to bypass the Nanshan Mountain under the city of Heshu Army, and try to persuade Shen Nianban to gather troops as an internal response. Also, have you learned to domesticate those two eagles? Zhang Yue asked, looking at the map on the table.

"Back to the big handsome! The female eagle Xuanling is quite tame, and the male eagle Xuanxin is very unruly, and only Du Ximi can summon it for the time being. But if I go south, how many people should I take? Feng Jianjie is only in his twenties, with a medium stature and thin height, but he has a vigorous posture, a dark face, and two sword eyebrows under his forehead.

"You can bring a hundred followers, if Shen Nian has no intention of surrendering, it is useless to say more." Hou Zhang smiled while holding a cup of hot tea.

"Exactly! Shen Nian's fiasco last year, I'm afraid I have some concerns, come to me tomorrow morning when you leave to pick up a letter and bring it. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth, one of the letters belonged to Shen Xuelian, and with this relationship, Shen Nianyan should have nothing to hesitate about.

As he was talking, Li Duoshou, the secretary of the festival, appeared at the door of the main hall, stood up and saluted: "Report to the two handsome!" A regiment of Han Zhiping successfully captured Anguo Town, and a military report was submitted! ”

"Come in!" This is expected, Zhang Yue beckoned and said.

Li Duoshou strode in, took out the military newspaper from his arms and handed it forward, Zhang Yue took it and read it quickly, his face became a little weird, and he raised his head for a while and said, "Have you read Xuan Chongwen?" What do you have to say? ”

"Yes! The judgment was negligent, causing the first and second battalions to lose more than half of the soldiers, and the merit and demerits were not enough to offset the demerits, and the dismissed officer was punished as the lieutenant of Yilu, and he still led a regiment to rest in Anguo Town. Li Duoshou replied succinctly.

The first and second battalions here are daily military newspapers or external code names, and the official number is the first regiment and two battalions, that is, the first and second battalions. However, the number is a confidential event, showing the nature and branch of the army, and it is only used internally. The Zhenyuan army understands everything from the commander to the soldiers.

"Didn't you fight it? How can it be punished? Hou Zhang was puzzled, took the military newspaper from Zhang Yue's hand and looked at it, and praised it greatly: "This is a great achievement!" With the infantry army commanding the 300 horse army, it is difficult for the forbidden army to do it! ”

"Having said that, they could have found out the situation of the defenders in Anguo Town before attacking, but they didn't, this is a rash act!" Zhang Yue said disappreciatively.

Hou Zhangleng was stunned, but found that there was no way to refute, and couldn't help laughing dumbly: "Yuan Zhen! You are too harsh on your subordinates, this is not the way of the emperor! ”

"The army should be governed by strict discipline, and the use of soldiers should judge the situation, and the generals should be rewarded and punished clearly, how can you be harsh? Hou Dashuai is an old soldier, why don't you agree? ”

"Huh...... This is a literal thing, it's not so simple to actually lead troops, you have to take into account people's hearts! "Hou Zhang is based on his own knowledge and experience, the proud soldiers of this year often gang up to strengthen their momentum, and they have to be fed with money to coax the war before the battle, otherwise don't say that you are a marshal, the emperor dares to pull off the horse.

Although on the march these days, the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army behaved a little maverick and were incompatible with other armies. Hou Zhang always felt weird, but he also had to admit that this was an elite army, with fast marching speed and high efficiency, far from being comparable to other armies.

Zhang Yue smiled and didn't answer, he was not interested in dividing the mountains in the army, what kind of balance was made, there was no need for that. As long as there is a positive energy and positive thought prevailing in the army under his command, it will be fine.

Subsequently, Zhang Yue asked Feng Jianjie to take a list of seizures and look at it, there were 500 war horses, 500 pairs of shoddy ring armor, more than 1,000 pairs of leather armor, more than 2,000 sets of scimitars, long and short spears, bows and arrows, more than 1,000 stones of wheat, corn, and barley, 5 or 600 stones of bean and bran eaten by war horses, and hundreds of loads of forage, which could solve the supply and demand of 2,000 soldiers for more than 1,000 months.

"The scouts must accompany the army, let the Baoding army send a battalion to change defenses, and stay not very respectful!" After reading it, Zhang Yue handed over the list to Li Duoshou, picked up the list of prisoners, and instructed him to bring the captured officers up, and asked Feng Jianjie to change guards and return to the team.

The captive soldier Xiao Qianhu Chang's name was Zhi Qi Du, and the name of the thousand households was called Zhi Qi, and the two were quickly tied up and taken to the hall by the pro-soldier Wuhua Da, looking at Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang's eyes dodging, and muttering something in their mouths.

"Which one is called Fold Du?" Zhang Yue sat behind the desk with the roster, looking at the old man and the strong man in front of him.

"Something is!" The short, stout man with a thin braided hair looked up at Zhang Yue, and quickly lowered his head, looking a little uneasy.

"Then your name is Zheqi? Will it come? Zhang Yue ignored the little Qianhu chief, and looked at the forty or fifty-year-old Xiaoqianhu next to him, with some gray hair. The wingman is not a staff member, according to the official system left over from Tibet, it is an official title, with its own tribal subordinates, and it is the deputy position of Xiao Qianhu, and he goes out with Xiao Qianhu in wartime.

"Now that the army is defeated, I dare not surrender, but the family members are all ......in Jialin Prefecture," the old guy blinked his dim old eyes, a little uneasy.

"Hah! So you're a descendant of the Fold Clan! The war can't stop dying, and from tomorrow onwards, I will bring my subordinates to help transport grain, understand? Zhang Yue coldly ordered, it's just two little people, if you don't know each other, you can cut them at any time.

Thinking about it, he felt that he should be able to understand the military situation, as well as the Ganzhou Uighurs that he had been secretly worried about, this was a big trouble, so he asked again: "What has Zhe Jiashi done since he defeated Shen Nianban last year?" For example, the expansion of the army? Also How many reinforcements did the Ganzhou Uighurs send? (To be continued.) )
