Chapter 469: Division of Troops
Ma Lan used to be a ranger, everyone in this Moxi Army knew it, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun actually didn't know much about Moxi at this time, but Zhang Biao knew about the two.
After the Jingsai army ambushed An Lushan, Ma Lan once saved An Lushan's life, so for a period of time, the remnants of the Jingsai army were enemies of Ma Lu, Zhang Biao once sent someone to Chang'an City to inquire about Ma Lu's details, and then he knew the friendship between Ma Lu and these two people, after all, in Chang'an, there are still many people who know these past events.
Now that the Jingsai Army is Ma Luan's subordinates, Zhang Biao recognized these two people, so he naturally didn't dare to be rude to the two.
Listening to what Lei Wanchun said, Zhang Biao was also extremely shocked, but he didn't expect that in the past few months, these two people were actually doing this.
“…… As soon as the Turkic dog thief arrived in front of a certain family, a certain family only stabbed him and his people and horses into two pieces! When he saw a certain family get off the war horse, he wanted to take advantage of it, how did he know that a certain family was born as a ranger, and what he was best at was foot combat kung fu, haha......"
Lei Wanchun said, and suddenly stumbled and fell crookedly on the table. There was a sigh from the crowd, and both of them were drunk, and there was no more to tell.
"It's all gone!" Zhang Biao shouted in a deep voice.
When people looked back, they saw Zhang Biao and a group of soldiers of the Jingsai Army.
This restaurant has the highest grade in Xihai City, and naturally they are all people with status, most of them recognized Zhang Biao at a glance, hurriedly bowed, and then left quickly. Zhang Biao walked to the table and arched his hand: "Lei Daxia, Nan Daxia!" ”
Both of them were completely drunk, and they could still hear him. Zhang Biao walked over and gently pushed Lei Wanchun, and then gently pushed Nan Jiyun, but he didn't have the slightest reaction.
The two of them have been in a state of extreme tension every day like in the past few months. Now that I suddenly relaxed my mind, this drunkenness was extremely deep.
Zhang Biao saw that he couldn't wake up the two, so he ordered his soldiers a few words. After a while, the soldiers brought two standard military stretchers unique to the Anxi army, carefully moved the two to the stretcher, and then slowly carried them down.
The sergeants took their horses with them. Follow Zhang Biao back to the town guard yamen. After going back, Zhang Xun found the Anxi agents and asked them to send the news to the city as soon as possible, and the two heroes were placed in the yamen of the town guard to rest.
Anxi's secret agents have their own system, and although Zhang Biao is the highest official in Xihai City, he does not dare to be unkind to them. With Zhang Biao's rank in the Anxi Army, he is not qualified to know about the existence of the Eagle Slave. Anxi's secret agent sent the news out in Haidongqing as soon as possible, and the city would know about it in less than three days.
And this matter has also slowly spread in Xihai City.
The estuarine delta is not very large. The surviving Guanzhong men who returned to the village and city did not take this matter as a secret, after all, it was something they were extremely proud of, so soon more and more people knew about it.
Soon, some people compared this incident with General Ma Da who brought prisoners of war back to Anxi. After all, it is the same to rescue the Han family from the enemy territory.
Of course, there are also people who think that the two are not the same, because this time the two rangers brought back too few people. But there are too many people who have been compromised.
However, this matter is still related to the feat of General Ma at the beginning. No matter how you look at it. But no one questioned the courage of those two Chang'an rangers. And the call to seek revenge from the Turks is slowly getting louder and louder in Xihai City.
……
After all, Nan Jiyun was younger and woke up earlier, while Lei Wanchun woke up later.
After the two woke up, Zhang Biao, the envoy of Xihai Town and the military envoy of Jingsai, warmly invited the two to stay here. But there is no mention of the identification of the two.
Both of them were bold people, and seeing that Zhang Biao spoke and acted quite rightly, they stayed in the yamen of the town guard, and only waited for Ma Lu's army to come, and then joined the army to sweep away the Turks.
The two also offered to join Zhang Biao's Jingsai Army. Zhang Biao didn't dare to agree.
For the two of them, they are going to join the army anyway, and it doesn't matter which army they join, but Zhang Biao knows their true identity, this is a figure who is a brother and sister to the general, so he naturally does not dare to accept it.
Another point, the Jingsai army is a musketeer, there is no advantage in fighting in the desert, in the future, the army will sweep away the Turks, and his Jingsai army is only afraid that it will have to stay in Xihai City, and will not follow the army, so it is not necessary to let the two join the Jingsai army, after all, they are going to kill the Turks to take revenge.
Two days later, the news reached the city.
……
In the palace, soon after receiving the news from the eagle slave, Ma Lan issued a series of orders.
For him, going to the Oghuz west of the Aral Sea to take revenge was a major thing that had to be done. And the news sent by Zhang Biao made him advance this matter some time.
Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun...... These two people are different in his heart after all.
Not only from the perspective of the Guanzhong man Ma Lan, but even from the perspective of a later generation.
"Who is laughing at spilling blood Suiyang? The hometown of coarse beans is poor. Where is Li Tang Sheji now? There is still a shrine as good as the general! "Nanba, Lao Lei, are all good men with iron bones, although he is no longer the original ranger Ma Lan, but he still regards them as big brothers.
The two entered the desert together, fought bloody for several months, and returned to Xihai City with dozens of Han family sons. It was easy, but it was definitely more difficult than what he had done at the beginning. The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, is talking about such a character.
To avenge the Han people who died in the war in Xihai City and rescue the captured children of Guanzhong, this matter should have been done by him, instead of letting the two eldest brothers toil in the desert.
After all, he is the master of today's moraine, and this is his responsibility.
The two eldest brothers and the people of the Han family in Xihai City were waiting for this matter, so this matter should be carried out immediately.
In front of Ma Lan, stood the two brothers Ma Yong and Ma Qiang. Both of them were the leaders of the Eighth Army and a town in the river before, and now they have both been recalled by Ma Lu.
"Revenge...... Actually, it should have been done a long time ago, and it's a little late to let you go now...... However, according to this information, after those Turks attacked Xihai City, they did not flee far, but stayed in place for the winter, which is to find their own death...... So it's not too late. ”
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang listened quietly.
In the past two years, the temperament of the two has changed greatly, and they seem to have matured a lot.
"Since the Oghuz who are looking for death will not flee...... Then go and kill them all!" There are 15,000 new Anxi troops here, but the big food is the most important direction at the moment, so I can only give you 3,000 people. Three thousand, it should be enough! ”
"I want you to take these 3,000 people to avenge the Han people who died in Xihai City, and avenge the Han people who did not flee back. Can you — can you do it? ”
"Yes! Checkmate! Ma Yong Ma Qiang stood up straight and shouted loudly at the same time.
"If you can, then I'll wait for your good news."
Pointing to the map on the wall, Ma Lin pointed to the large lake on the west side of the Aral Sea: "This place, you can call it the Caspian Sea. In fact, it is a lake, but it is similar to the sea, several times larger than the West Sea. ”
Then he pointed to a place on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea: "After you have killed all the Turks you have encountered, you will finally fight here, and in this place you can build a city." ”
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang nodded.
"This is also a treasure land, bigger and more fertile than Xihai City. This place...... In the future, it will also be the place where Hermes-Epitek will reside. Ma Ling pointed to the Volga Plain in the northwest of the Caspian Sea on the map, "So this city, it must be big enough!" To become a fortress, to become a fortress! Become Hermes-Epitek's foundation here! The building of the city...... There will be some literati who will be your staff, and when you get here, you will drive the locals to build a city, and then you will stay here and gradually conquer the surrounding places. Nationalities other than the Turks can not be killed if they surrender, but if they resist, they will be killed all. ”
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang nodded vigorously.
Ma Lan let out a long breath and squinted at the hand-drawn map on the wall.
After taking the Volga Plain on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, the entire Turan lowlands will be completely owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the first strategic goal of the Anxi army in the river will be completely completed at that time.
This time, Ma Yong and Ma Qiang's mission is not only revenge, but also expansion. It is extremely important to establish a foothold on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea.
The Mobei Turks have been wiped out, the Western Turks are entrenched in the land of ten arrows, the Oghuz are only scattered tribes on the shore of the Caspian Sea in the land of ten arrows, and the strength is much weaker than that of the Western Turks, and the three thousand Anxi new army, plus the Turkic servant troops, is enough to sweep this vast area.
In the plains on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, in fact, he also wanted to go there himself.
In later generations, the so-called Volga Plain was definitely an extremely fertile area, which was extremely suitable for Han people to settle. However, the primary task at the moment is to completely defeat the Great Food Civilization, so it can only be carried out in two ways, and he cannot personally lead the troops to do the expansion in this direction.
If there is no Oghuz attack on Xihai City, the conquest of the Caspian coastal plain will probably have to wait until later, and it will not be dealt with until after the Great Eclipse is cleared, but the Oghuz people themselves come to the door, so they must fight back, otherwise how can they stand up?
explained in detail what Ma Yong and Ma Qiang needed to pay attention to, and Ma Ling asked the two to prepare. I was going to wait until the time of the southern expedition to divide the army, but now it is a little earlier.
Fang Wenwen was not well-known in the original history, but he was a very talented person, and after the matter was explained, it was quickly handled in an orderly manner. In just three days, everything was ready.
Three days later, the army was dispatched.
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang set off directly with the elite of the three thousand new army and headed in the direction of Xihai City.
The two of them were accompanied by more than 20,000 Turkic miscellaneous soldiers. (To be continued......)
