Chapter 54: Wan Qi Haocang (I)
After the civil strife between the Hule tribe and Jiya, Wan Qi Haocang integrated the Turkic tribes with thunderous means, abolished the tribal leaders with an iron fist, and all the sixteen Turkic tribes were under the command of the Khan. All combatable soldiers were unified into the Turkic Cangyun Cavalry, and the rank of generals in the army was regulated with reference to the Tiansheng military system. Those who bravely kill the enemy can be awarded military positions to anyone, and the more outstanding the merits, the higher the rank of the position awarded, and the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Turks has reached an unprecedented state.
Baiting Fortress is one of the important towns on the northwest border, a few days ago a big battle, the defenders were killed, 20,000 heroes defending the city were not cold, the bloody atmosphere was still there, but the city wall had been replaced with the Turkic royal flag. Prosperity and decline, success or failure, the city changed hands, but overnight.
Wan Qihao is brave and fierce, and he does have his superiority in the marching formation, but when it comes to internal affairs, it is far from enough. Therefore, in the past few days when the army entered the city, in addition to the military and political affairs, all the miscellaneous chores fell on Feng Li.
"Subordinates, see King Khan!"
Haruda broke into the house with a big grin, he was now the number one general under the Khan King, and the person Wan Qi Haocang relied on the most besides Feng Li.
Wan Qi Haocang sighed, the prairie boys are uninhibited by nature, and they have always been indifferent to etiquette, although it is beneficial, but it has also caused their aggressive and disobedient temperament. Although the people of the Central Plains are weak and can be bullied, there are still some things worth learning from!
"Who asked you to ask this time?" Wan Qi Haocang's gaze moved from the map to look at Haruda. After capturing Baiting, he did not rush south, but did not move here, and many generals under the tent were suspicious and did not dare to come to him directly, so they all turned around and asked Haruda.
Haruda scratched his head, "Uh...... King Khan, it's not just them who want to ask, in fact, the ministers also want to know. Why don't we go straight to Chang'an City in one go? These Han bird soldiers are simply vulnerable, why are we wasting time here? ”
Wan Qi Haocang smiled, his eyes revealing a stunning light, "I'm waiting for someone." ”
"Huh? Wait for others? "Haruda is puzzled, who else is waiting for in this war? Could it be that you are waiting for some powerful general? Haven't you heard of the Khan?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Wan Qi Haocang turned to look at Feng Li, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating on the sidelines, and said, "Sir, do you know?" ”
Feng Li has a delicate mind, and has followed Wan Qi Haocang for many years, the defeat five years ago is definitely a great shame for the arrogant Wan Qi Haocang, how can he not know? Looking at him with complicated eyes, he asked, "Is the Khan waiting for His Royal Highness the crown prince back then?" ”
"Sir really knows me!"
"But when the minister heard that he had disappeared since that battle, and that he had not been heard from again, the Emperor of Heaven had said that he had gone to study under his tutelage, so how could the King of Khan be sure that he would come? If he didn't show up, could it be that the Khan King would be waiting in vain in this white pavilion to miss the opportunity? Feng Li worriedly persuaded that the Turkic Iron Cavalry had always been fast, ruthless, and accurate, and that it would take too much time to achieve a long-term solution.
"How does Sir know that I am only waiting in vain?" Wan Qi Haocang asked with a confident smile.
Feng Li's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? So, the Khan has a good plan? ”
"Haruda, summon all the generals to raise the tent in the middle hall!" Wan Qi Haofeng did not answer directly, the shame of five years ago must be snow, but he is not a person who is willful, although the Turks have been fully prepared to send troops this time, but it is also a fact that they are alone, since they want to fight, then add a few more fires to make the world more chaotic It is more interesting.
"Yes!"
Haruda was ordered to go out, and in a short time he summoned the people.
Wan Qi Haocang pointed to the map behind him, "The Baiting and the three cities outside the river are the most important along the northern border of Tiansheng", the three cities outside the river were renamed the three cities of surrender by the Turks as a great shame, so Wan Qi Haocang still used the previous title, "Now that we have captured the white pavilion, the news must have spread to the Tiansheng court, and a large army will be sent to come soon." Whoever led the troops, the first thing they had to do was to regain the lost territory, so I was sure that their march would pass through here", he pointed to a point on the map, "Huyaqi! ”
"The last general!" A general in battle armor came out of the ranks.
"Ben Khan ordered you to lead your army to the Fengshui River near Huizhou City within 57,000 days, and set up ambushes along the way to block Tiansheng's reinforcements." Wan Qi Haocang said.
The Turkic iron cavalry is 300,000, and the Tiansheng reinforcements will never be less than 400,000, so sending only 50,000 people to set up an ambush is not a stone with an egg? Even if he can be surprised, but I'm afraid I won't be able to retreat with my whole body, Hu Yeqi hesitated, not only he hesitated, but even the others looked at each other, not understanding what this move meant.
Seeing his thoughts, Wan Qi Haocang sneered and asked, "What?" Don't dare to pick it up? When did my Turkic general become a shrunken turtle?! ”
The grassland people are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are most afraid of being said to be incompetent, so Hu Yeqi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The minister is ordered!" ”
The rest of the generals just wanted to ask, but Wan Qi Haocang obviously didn't intend to listen, but continued: "Haruda, you take the generals under your command to return to Liusha City quickly, and mobilize the 150,000 defenders who remain in the local area to storm the three cities beyond the river, it will only take two days to return to Liusha City from here, and within ten days, I will see the Turkic king's flag planted on the heads of these three cities!" Although the attack on Baiting claimed to be 300,000 iron cavalry, in fact, he only brought 150,000 people, and the remaining 150,000 were stationed in the three cities outside the river near the north of the town, for today.
"Yes, the minister! Let's go! Haruda answered.
Wan Qi Haocang looked at the rest of the people, most of these people were cronies he had cultivated, loyal and reliable. But there is also a part of the original chiefs of the departments, from a leader to a general, the gap can be imagined, to say that there is no complaint he can not believe, these people have to use and guard, Fang Cai's Hu Yeqi is one of them.
150,000 people transferred 50,000, and there are only 100,000 left, "The rest of the people will pull out the camp tomorrow, and Yige will lead the attack on Cloud City, and give me ten days to fight under Liangzhou City!" ”
"Yes, the minister!"
After the assignment was completed, Wan Qi Haocang looked at Hu Yeqi, "In this way, if the general can't stop the reinforcements, he will step down as a general and go to Beihai to shepherd sheep!" ”
Hu Yeqi hurriedly said yes, and repeatedly promised that he would not be dishonored.
Feng Li watched from the side from beginning to end, without saying a word, and only after all the generals had withdrawn did he smile and said: "King Khan's wisdom is outstanding, I'm afraid that Zhuge will not be like this in the next life, it seems that this great cause of the southern expedition will be successful!" ”
It is naturally a pleasure to be praised by smart people, Wan Qihao smiled loudly, he thought that this layout was seamless, no matter how many reinforcements from the Tiansheng Dynasty came, it would definitely make them tired and difficult to take care of, if the one who led the troops was still the same person back then, it would be more interesting! Those who lost back then will be returned tenfold today!
"The king of Khan is planning the overall situation, and he has no last resort, he is already in control, and his subordinates are not talented, so I hope to add icing on the cake." Feng Li said with a smile.
Wan Qi Haocang is curious now, he thinks that he has considered all aspects, what else can he do? "Sir, please."
"Shatuo and Tubo", seeing that Wan Qi Haocang was still puzzled, Feng Li continued to explain, "The Khan King is a hero in the world, and the Turks are also a strong country, so the Khan King naturally will not pay attention to these two. Shatuo is in the west of Huifu, most of the northwest border of Tiansheng is connected to it, and Tubo is in the south, if there is chaos in these two places at the same time, Tiansheng must be too busy to take care of himself, at that time Chang'an City was not in the bag of His Royal Highness? ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wan Qi Haocang high-fived and laughed, "This matter is annoying Mr.!" ”
