Chapter 194: The Great Eagle
The conflict has subsided, in the north of the camp, hundreds of Tang troops are divided into two factions, are glaring angrily, one is the Yiwu army, the other is the Tianshan army, in the short conflict, more than a dozen tents were washed down, cut, and two people saw blood on their arms, this conflict is still a continuation of the problem of the Shatuo people, in the camping plan of Lifei Shouyu, the two battalions of the Shatuo people are not together, one battalion and the Yiwu army are stationed together, and the other battalion and the Han Navy are stationed in the south, but Han Zhi must ask Zhu Xie to be loyal to the Shatuo Department to live with them, For this reason, he persuaded the Tianshan army next to him to give up a piece of land, for which Li Fei Shouyu specially came to mediate, and ordered the Tianshan army to give up half of the camp tent, and the problem seemed to be solved, but just now, the Yiwu army came to receive the camp tent, and insisted that all the camp tents were given to them, and the two sides disagreed, so they started to fight.
Li Fei Shouyu restrained his inner dissatisfaction and asked Han Zhidao: "Han Dudu, I have obviously compromised in the morning and asked the Tianshan Army to give up half of the camp to you, even if you intend to let the Shatuo people be stationed together, such a large place is enough, why do you have to monopolize all the camp and wronged the brothers of the Tianshan Army?" ”
Han Zhi snorted and said: "The customs of various ethnic groups are different, the Shatuo people will never squeeze twenty people into a camp, eight people is the limit they can bear, you are responsible for arranging the camp, why can't you take out a little more camp?" Also, if there is such a large empty place in the city, and you don't let us enter it, how can you convince my brothers? ”
"It's just that if you are not convinced, you can mention it, but you can't instigate the sergeant to provoke, seeing that the big war is imminent, but you have internal friction in your life, which is not good for the Tang army."
Han Zhi's small eyes narrowed, and he was yin [***]: "General Lifei, if you wear a hat, you have to tell the evidence, when will I instigate the soldiers to make trouble?" What do you mean by saying that about me? ”
"The envoy is here!"
The soldiers next to him dodged a way, Li Qingan walked over quickly, he glanced coldly at the overturned tent, and said, "All the people who participated in the action, all stand up?" ”
Han Zhi hurriedly said, "Envoy...."
Li Qingan waved his hand and stopped his words, "I'll talk about your business later, now I'm going to ask the person who did it." ”
He glanced back at the soldiers, "Why, don't you want to take the lead?" I'm going to look for them one by one. ”
At this time, more than a dozen soldiers walked out, Li Qingan nodded and said, "Also, the eldest husband dares to do it, stand up for me." ”
More than 30 people stood up, and under their leadership, those who had moved their hands came forward one after another, a total of 120 people.
"Is that all?"
Li Qingan asked three more times, no one stood up again, he looked at the more than 100 people, and sneered: "Very good!" Before the enemy army is fought, there will be infighting first, in this case, I will let you fight enough, bring it to me, and each of you will be beaten with fifty military sticks! ”
More than 100 people were led down in mourning, and after a while, 'Crackle! The sound of the execution was heard, and people began to cry.
Only then did Li Qingan turn around and ask Han Zhidao: "Governor Han, what do you have to say?" ”
Han Zhi said with a calm face: "Our Yiwu army doesn't want to camp with the Tianshan army, and wants to camp separately, please understand." ”
Li Qingan stared at his face for a long time before squeezing out a word from between his teeth, "Quasi!" ”
.......
A farce of fighting for barracks ended with the Yiwu army moving out of the camp and setting up another camp, to everyone's surprise, the culprit of the farce, the Shatuo people Zhu Xie Duan Zhong did not move away together, although Han Zhi repeatedly persuaded Zhu Xie to be loyal, but Zhu Xie Du Zhong attitude clearly said that he was directly under Li Qing'an's commander, and it was not appropriate to be in the same village with the Yiwu army, Han Zhi had no choice but to lead Zhu Xie Shengyi's department to move to another camp five miles away.
That night, Han Zhi's big tent was brightly lit, and Han Zhi, the deputy general Yang Zaicheng, and Zhu Xie Shengyi were making a final discussion.
Han Zhiqu knocked on a plan on the table and said, "Li Qingan is very likely to send troops tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and our chance is only tonight." ”
As early as a month and a half ago, he led the army to Longwei City, and after discovering Li Qing'an's attempt to break the leaves, he had a bold plan in his heart, why couldn't he take the lead and seize this great credit, so he sent scouts to Ashi Bulai City to investigate, went to three scouts, but only one came back, one was captured, and one was killed, but Han Zhi also got a lot of first-hand information about Ashi Burai City, and the problem he faced was the lack of troops, he only brought two thousand of the three thousand Yiwu army, plus one thousand Shatuo people, It was only 3,000 cavalry, but Ashi Bulai City reinforced 10,000 Shi [***] team, for this reason, he thought of another Shatuo cavalry, but unfortunately in the end it fell short, Zhu Xie was loyal and refused to move out of the camp with him, despite this, Han Zhi still decided to send troops alone to attack Ashi Bulai City.
"Now, I want you to express your attitude whether you are willing to join me in seizing this immortal achievement."
Han Zhi's eyes fell on Yang Zaicheng, Yang Zaicheng was a little hesitant, he felt that this attack was too risky, and he remembered Zhao Tingyu's death, and now Han Zhi wanted to follow in Zhao Tingyu's footsteps, he wanted to remind Han Zhi, but he saw that Han Zhi had made up his mind, and there was no point in persuading.
It is his duty to obey the orders of his superiors, and Yang Zaicheng said worriedly: "Dudu, we only have 3,000 people, and there are 10,000 Shi [***] troops in Ashi Bulai City, the difference in strength is too great, and I heard that there is also a big food army, and their combat power is far stronger than that of the Shi [***] team." ”
"I know this, the scouts I sent have found out clearly, a month ago, the Great Food Army of Ashburai City has gone to Talas, I heard that there is a civil war in their country, they should be ready to return to China, and now the 10,000 troops are all Shi Guoren, it is a vulnerable Sogdian army, although we have fewer troops, but my confidence to defeat them in a battle, I only ask you, are you willing to do it with me?"
Yang Zaicheng sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to nod silently, Han Zhi smiled, and asked Zhu Xie Shengyi in Turkic language: "General Shengyi, now I need you to make a decision." ”
Zhu Xie Shengyi has always been worried about the last time the valley found the Gelulu nobles, last time they lost a lot, but in the end, the women and property were not caught, although later Li Qing'an divided a part of the spoils to Sha Tuo, but most of them were intercepted by Ye Hu, they got little, I heard that there was gold in that valley encounter, but they didn't even see the shadow of gold, most of the people died, but in the end they were picked up by Nan Jiyun, this matter made him dissatisfied in his heart, Han Zhi asked, Zhu Xie Shengyi immediately agreed:" I will do whatever the governor says! ”
"Good!" Han Zhi slammed his fist on the table and said excitedly: "Then let the clown of Shiguo taste the power of our Yiwu army." ”
At the end of the night, the 3,000 cavalry of the Iwu Army quietly left the camp and galloped west along the Yili River.
.......
The main camp of the Chinese army tent is still bright, Li Qingan is sitting alone on the table carefully studying the map of broken leaves, the time has reached one o'clock in the night, the map has been put away, he is still not tired, holding a cup of hot tea, drinking slowly, from time to time up to the front of the tent to look, his eyes are worried, full of contradictions that are difficult to choose, he seems to be waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, 'Smack! The teacup was crushed by Li Qingan.
"Report to the envoy, Governor Han led the Yiwu army west, and I don't know where to go."
"I see." Li Qingan's eyes showed a trace of regret and gloom.
.......
Ashi Burai City is located in the north of Ningyuan Kingdom, which was originally the northern Xinjiang city of Ningyuan Kingdom, and is the only way to pass through the Silk Road, which has been very prosperous since ancient times.
During the Kaiyuan period, the Great Food expanded eastward, and the city of Ashi Burai was conquered by the famous general Qu Bodi, which became a springboard for the Great Food to prepare to attack Broken Leaves.
But a revolutionary storm swept through the Eclipse, and the Shia Muslims of Khorasan rebelled against the Umayyad dynasty, which was soon stolen by the Abbasids, a Khorasan nobleman, and became a civil war in which the new Abbasid dynasty replaced the Umayyad dynasty.
The forces of the White Eaters in the east have withdrawn westward, but there are still some troops left in the cities of Ashibulai and Talas.
The commander of the Great Food Army in Ashbrois, named Judir, was an experienced veteran who had surrendered to the Abbasids and was made the governor of Talas.
Judil's men have a total of 4,000 troops, and there are 2,000 troops each in Ashbulai City and Talas City, all of which are the elite of the Khorasan region, a month and a half ago, the Great Food Army captured a scout of the Tang Dynasty, and learned from him that the Tang Dynasty had deployed heavy troops in the newly built five cities in the north, Judier was taken aback, he immediately realized that the Tang army was ready to attack Broken Leaves, Judir decided to strike first, and he immediately transferred the stone [***] team to reinforce Ashbulai City.
In the process of transferring troops, Judier made a small trick, he first withdrew his troops back to Talas, but after changing into the costume of the stone [***] team, he returned to Ashburai City with the stone [***] team, in fact, at this moment, only 6,000 of the 10,000 stone [***] team in Ashburai City are stone [***] teams, and the other 4,000 people are redressed by the Great Food Army.
They were also fully equipped and ready to capture Shattered Leaf City before the Tang Army.
On this morning, there was a low horn sound over the city of Ashbula, 10,000 big food and the Shiguo coalition army slowly left the city, marched in the direction of the Broken Leaf River, the straight line distance from the Ash Bulai City to the Broken Leaf is about two hundred and fifty miles, but the road is not flat, two huge mountains in the north-south direction sandwich the Broken Leaf River in the middle, forming a Broken Leaf Valley more than 100 miles wide, because there is the Broken Leaf River running through the valley, and there is the Atami Great Lake, so the Broken Leaf River is rich, the forest is luxuriant, the grassland is fertile, it is a bright pearl in Lingxi.
In the long procession, Judir took the lead, walking in front of the procession, Judir was about forty years old, with a square face, thick and thick eyebrows, not smiling, he was famous in the Great Food Army, called the Khorasan Eagle, and walking with him was the commander of Shi [***], the second prince Yuanen.
During a trip to the North Court a few months ago, Yuan En finally failed to get the Eye of Light, and Prince Hassan did not get it, and the Eye of Light was taken by Princess Kulan to the shrine in Kang Guo Samad Jian, and Yuan En was depressed for several months, until he was appointed commander of the Stone Country Expeditionary Force, and his mood gradually brightened.
"General Judir, why don't we send troops after the Tang Army and the Turgish are both defeated? You know, in such a hasty march, we will face two enemies. ”
Judir glanced at him and said: "Your Royal Highness, your master didn't tell you that the Tang army is good at defending the city, once they take Broken Leaf City, we won't have any chance, on the contrary, I will tell Du Mozhi that we have no intention of occupying Broken Leaf in the past, and we will not have it in the future, we are here to help him resist the Tang army, it is his friend, Your Highness, do you understand?" ”
Yuan En suddenly realized, "General Judier is really far-sighted. ”
But he frowned and said, "But the Turgish people have been fighting among themselves for many years, and I'm afraid they won't be united." ”
A rare smile appeared on Judir's face, "Your Highness, there is a saying in my hometown of Khorasan, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and we are going to Broken Leaf to deal with the Khan of Erweitler who occupies Broken Leaf City, then Erweitler's enemy Dumozhi is our friend, and the Great Food does not necessarily have to occupy Broken Leaf, as long as Dumozhi becomes a servant of the caliphate, then it is not impossible for him to continue to stay in Broken Leaf." ”
Yuan En was stunned, if Du Mozhi continued to stay in Broken Leaves, then what did Shi Guo have? Didn't you say that it was better to give the broken leaves to Shiguo?
"General Judir ....."
Before he could finish speaking, Judir waved his hand and said: "Sooner or later, Broken Leaf will belong to the Stone Kingdom, this is just my temporary delaying strategy, once the Abbasids take the throne, the Great Food will continue to expand eastward, and then we will have enough strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty, not only the Broken Leaf will return to the Stone Kingdom, but Bakhana will also be incorporated into the Stone Kingdom as a punishment for their goodwill to the Tang Dynasty." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse suddenly galloped in the distance, and the horsemen immediately shouted: "General Judir! ”
Judier reined in his horse, "What's the matter?" ”
"A Tang army is coming this way, less than twenty miles away from us."
Judier was taken aback and asked urgently, "How many of them are there?" ”
"About 3,000 people!"
Judir couldn't help but sneer, three thousand people wanted to deal with his ten thousand, it was too much to do, he immediately ordered: "The whole army reorganizes the army and horses, and prepares to meet the battle!" ”
In a moment, Han Zhi's three thousand Yiwu troops appeared on the horizon in black pressure, and he also saw Shi Guo's army from a distance, and couldn't help but excitedly draw his sword and shout: "Kill it, defeat the Shi [***] team in one fell swoop!" ”
Zhu Xie Shengyi roared like thunder, and he led a thousand Shatuo cavalry like rolling wolves, rushing forward and rushing towards the center of the enemy's army.
In the center is the 4,000 elite Great Food Army, dressed in leather armor, wearing helmets, carrying large food scimitars at their waists, holding spears, and riding on Arab horses.
As the Shatuo army pounced, the Great Food Army tore off the robes of the stone [***] on the ground, revealing the tight black armor, and the rolled up black flag unfurled, on the black flag was a golden Saladin eagle, which was the military emblem of the Abbasids.
They shouted, countless spears flashed in the sun, and rushed towards the Shatuo people, and the commander Judil ordered the flag to wave, and the six thousand stones [***] were like the wings of an eagle, and they rushed towards the Tang army from the left and right.
Han Zhi's heart seemed to sink into the abyss, he never thought that there were 4,000 food troops hidden in the Shi [***] team, they were so brave and good at fighting, they were by no means the rabble that he imagined to be defeated with one blow.
A hint of cowardice rose in his heart.
