Chapter 53 People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries

Pei Xingjian had already gotten up when the rooster crowed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I read the military book late last night, but he still woke up early and made routine rounds and inspections.

After the meal, Pei Xingjian ordered: "Pass my order, go sixty miles, and rest after arriving at the Dragon Station." ”

As soon as he gave this order, the general jumped out and said, "Pei joins the army, you can't do this, you can rest after only sixty miles, how long will it take to send it to the front line?" Since entering Qinghai, the speed of our grain team has become slower and slower. Because of the heavy rain on the road, we have already delayed the trip, but yesterday we traveled 80 miles in a whole day. If this continues, we will all be dealt with by military law. ”

Grain and grass are related to the life and death of the three armies, and the grain transport team delivers grain to the front line on time, which is the primary task. Late dates are subject to severe penalties. If the front is lost because the grain and grass cannot be reached smoothly, or the fighter plane is missed, it is even more criminal. The commander in chief at the front can even cut off the grain commander to appease the army.

Therefore, as long as the grain transport team is on the road, no one dares to wander around the road leisurely.

Today, there was one, on the way they came, because of a landslide, mud and sand blocked the way, delaying the time. The partial general Wang Luo was already praying that Du He was good-tempered and would not severely punish them for not delaying the big event.

Wang Luo was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the building, but Pei Xingjian was never in a hurry, he traveled eighty miles a day, at this speed, the grain and grass on the front line were eaten up, and they might not all be able to catch up.

If you don't stop getting food, don't delay the military, and delay some time, a good-tempered general will not punish more, but once the front line runs out of food, the three armies are hungry, and as a commander, no matter how good his temper is, he must stand up for the soldiers with an empty stomach.

Pei Xingjian also knew that his prestige was insufficient, so he didn't put on any swagger, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I calculated, I can arrive a few days before the army runs out of food, don't worry, if there is a mistake, I will be in charge of everything, even if I kill the head, I will also be in charge." ”

Pei Xingjian has no experience in the army, and this is the first time he has been in charge alone.

But there are people who have the opposite view of war.

Wang Luo thought about how to deliver the grain and grass on time.

However, Pei Xingjian has been paying attention to the situation of the soldiers, and he has to ensure that the grain and grass are safe before they are delivered on time.

Their grain transporters were not local soldiers, and when they came to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they did not have a one-month adaptation period, and they were not affected a lot.

In this case, with a fast march, speed can be guaranteed, but in the event of an attack, they do not even have the ability to counterattack.

Therefore, Pei Xingjian slowed down the march in order to preserve the physical strength of the soldiers, so that the grain transporters could maintain the physical strength to deal with the incoming enemy at any time.

Although Pei Xingjian knew about the great victory on the front line, the possibility of them being attacked was extremely small, and it could be said that it was very small......

But if people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries.

Pei Xingjian, as the only famous general in the Gaozong Dynasty who can compare with Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, has gradually shown his edge.

**********

The northwest wind whined against the ground, the scrawny branches crunched with their bare arms, the dead branches and fallen leaves flew all over the sky, there was no trace of any living creature in the vast field, and the whole vast space was as gray as death.

Duho rode alone on a leisurely stroll through the hills, his mind full of the current battle situation.

It has been almost a month since the capture of some cities and the death of Qinling, and now the Tang army occupies the absolute initiative and is firmly in an invincible position.

However, their opponent, Songtsen Gampo of Tibet, was like a lost dog, hiding left and right, constantly using the characteristics of his familiar terrain to avoid the sight of the Tang army.

It stands to reason that the victory or defeat is just around the corner, and Du He should be happy with high spirits.

In less than half a year since he led the troops, he has already achieved decisive results, which is a remarkable achievement.

But Du He didn't have that self-satisfaction on his face, some were just strange, and he always felt that Songtsen Gampo's behavior was a little abnormal, but he couldn't think of a reason.

So he chose to be alone and think about the current situation alone.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Tibet, they lack food and clothing, the national capital is occupied by the Tang army, and the family and daughters of senior generals have become prisoners.

Songtsen Gampo faced two extremely serious problems, livelihood and military morale.

It is difficult for Songtsen Gampo to make a living, and the forced requisition of food from the people can only last for a while, and there is a danger of causing ***. The family and the country occupy the first place. Only when there is a country can there be a home, although the words are good, but if people do not have a home, is the country still meaningful? The fall of Luo was fatal for Tibet. Perhaps Songtsen Gampo can stabilize the morale of the army for a while, but with a long time, it will inevitably change.

The two major problems, whether from which angle or from that aspect, reveal one point, Tibet cannot afford to spend it, and it must be solved quickly.

This is also the ultimate goal under the Duhe layout...... A life-and-death battle, a quick battle.

But Songtsen Gampo chose a stupid tactic and delayed.

There is no food and grass, and the morale is gradually declining, and the defeated soldiers do not choose to strike a blow before their morale falls to the bottom, and when they run out of ammunition and food, then they will have no chance.

If he were Songtsen Gampo, he would inevitably choose a quick victory.

Du He knew that Songtsen Gampo was not a general, and he would not fail to understand this simple truth, but the facts proved that Songtsen Gampo did not mean to make a quick decision, but was delaying time.

Such an abnormal behavior made Du He pay special attention, but he is not a god, all he can do is analyze, guess, and figure out, and it is impossible to know 100% what Songtsen Gampo is paying attention to, and under the limited information, Du He cannot see through Songtsen Gampo's purpose.

"Qinglian ......" Luo Tong came on a single horse, the two of them have been friends for many years, after leaving the barracks, only each other's private circumstances, they are all named by name, and there is no difference between up and down, "There is news of Songtsen Gampo......" He raised the roll of paper in his hand, and said: "Songtsen Gampo and yesterday appeared two hundred miles southwest of Luo, they lack supplies, they can't run far in a day, it is estimated that it is dozens of miles nearby, as long as the scouts are widely dispatched, they should be able to find the whereabouts of their army." ”

"No hassle!" Duhe was considering the question of Songtsen Gampo, and he had already made a preliminary plan on how to deal with it, and replied without thinking: "He is the master, we are guests, and it is absolutely impossible to compare the familiarity with them with the terrain in the territory of the master's house." Now that the initiative is in our hands, there is no need to chase him, we only need to monitor the villages and towns within a radius of 50 miles around Luo, and we can cut off their retreat and force them to comply. ”

Although Duhe, who lost the detailed information of Songtsen Gampo, did not know the current situation of the Tibetan army, he could judge that Songtsen Gampo was short of grain and that he was leviing grain from the people.

In ancient times, the status of the capital was transcendent, and no country was an exception, and they had an extraordinary centripetal force. One place is eye-catching, and all sides are benefiting. The towns that surround the national capital are definitely much richer than the remote towns. Tibet is not like the Tang Dynasty, the land is vast, and every place has iconic towns.

There is only one in Tibet, and the cities around it form a rigorous economic network, which is equivalent to the economic lifeline of Tibet, as long as this economic lifeline is controlled. Even if Songtsen Gampo opens his hands and feet and forcibly loots, in the face of poor towns outside the economic circle, he will not be able to grab many materials, but will cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people and cause incidents.

Du He and Luo Tong returned to Luo Qi together, and met Xue Rengui head-on.

Since Xue Rengui joined Du He's command, he has been helping him deal with important and small trivial matters.

Xue Rengui held an account book in his hand and said, "Chief Manager, we have less than ten days of grain and grass left, and according to the news that comes, the next batch of grain and grass will be delivered in eight days." It's a little tight on time, you see, shouldn't you remind them? ”

According to the regulations, the grain transport team must be delivered half a month before the grain and grass run out at the front, and only in this way will the military not be delayed.

Now that the other party is sending it in time, it has already violated military law.

Du He pondered for a moment and said, "I know, send someone to urge, and when the grain and grass arrive, let the grain officer come to me." ”

Don't look at Du He and the amiable, but he admits death to military law.

In the military, military law is everything, and no one who violates it will not be tolerated.

It's just that he is not a dictator, and if the grain officer can come up with a convincing reason, he can forgive it, otherwise this situation will never be allowed to happen.

Xue Rengui nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Xue Rengui wanted to leave, Du He's heart moved, and said, "Wait, Rengui, you let the bereaved love lead the Qubu to go together, and let him personally escort the grain team to Luoqi." ”

Du He's order made Xue Rengui pause and asked, "The chief manager suspects that Songtsen Gampo is paying attention to our army's food and grass?" ”

Du He shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, it's difficult for them to slip under our noses to intercept food." However, the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the three armies, and we are now in an invincible position, and the only thing we lack is grain and grass. This is the only fatal wound we have now, so why not be on the safe side of sending troops to escort us? People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries......"

Every nation has heroes, and in the same way, every nation has moths.

Even if there is no saint to speak of morality, his disciples still have moths.

Colonel Lu Qiang is a moth hidden in the Tang Army's grain transportation team, he is greedy for money, and he can't do anything without profit. As long as there is money for him, let alone let him sell some information, even if he is asked to change his father's mother, there is no second word.

When the grain convoy arrived at the Dragon Station, he quietly left the barracks alone and took a photo with a man in black who followed along the way.

Lu Qiang said the marching time and detailed route he had explored, and with a smile he took out two silver ingots from the other party's hands, hid them on his body, and left happily.

The man in black is the confidant of the eldest grandson Shunde.

In order to teach Du He a lesson, the eldest grandson Shunde was desperate.

This kind of confidential matter, the eldest grandson Shunde was not at ease to hand it over to others, and sent his most trusted henchmen.
