When the letter from the East reached the bank of the Yaozhi River, Zhang Mai had already joined Guo Luo and was preparing to move westward, he summoned the generals and ministers to discuss, Wei Renpu said: "Since ancient times, the civil strife in the Central Plains has declined, and the surrounding Hu will take the opportunity to rise, but it is not easy for them to directly invade the Great Wall, and the Hu people are shallow and not good at governing the Central Plains, so all this matter must be in the south of the desert, peep at the Great Wall, and look for traitors to govern on their behalf." Since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns of Hedong and Hebei have often colluded with Beihu. Now that there is something in the East, it must be because of the Khitan. ”
Guo Wei also said: "The Khitan has always had the ambition to win the Central Plains, but although the Central Plains is chaotic, the feudal town is still strong, and the Han family is still there, so they dare not rush south, since the defeat of the North Court, the marshal's ambition has been known to Donghu, if they don't move this time, if they take action, I'm afraid it will be a nest and take a risk."
Ma Jirong and the others all nodded yes, and felt very embarrassed: if the army is fighting in the west today, all manpower and material resources are inclined to this side, and if there is something in the east, it will definitely not be able to take care of it; If it is really necessary to save the East first, then the only way is to hastily end the war on the Western Front first and take the East first.
But now the war on the Western Front is ready to be sent and has to be sent, if the poisonous snake of Satuk is not killed, once the Tiance army has the intention of returning to the east, the entire Hezhong region is bound to be completely owned by it, so that such a person can stand firm, and it is enough to fight for the foreign troubles of China and then the war will be fought to this part, if you want to give up suddenly, who is willing to be the general of the Western Expedition?
Therefore, although there were many ministers and generals in the Great Tent, none of them had a contradiction on the question of whether they were first west or first east.
"It's best for Li Congke to stabilize his position first," Ma Jirong said: "As long as we stabilize until our class returns to the east, then we won't be afraid of anything." ”
"What does General Ma mean by agreeing to Li Congke's marriage?" Wei Renpu asked.
Zhang Mai frowned when he heard this, he has never been interested in such a thing as marriage, and felt that it was at most just a psychological effect, and the ritual was greater than the reality, not to mention gambling with his son's lifelong happiness
Ma Jirong observed his words and immediately said: "No, no, such a major matter, but you still have to ask the marshal to decide." ”
Zhang Mai asked Guo Luo, "What do you think?" ”
Guo Luo is not only the first general of the Tang Army in Tiance at present, but also the uncle of the prince, and he has the last say in both public and private.
Guo Luo sneered and said, "Our army can defeat the Khitan and Hui on its own, so why bother to care about Li Congke's life or death?" Since we can win by force, why bother to move these fancy intestines We are in the Far West, and the things in the East are beyond the reach of the whip, since it is not well managed, it is better to do whatever happens in the East, and let Yang Yi and Xue Fu hold the border is Khitan, Shi Jingjiao, if they dare to make trouble, wait until the western front of our army is decided, then return to the division and sweep the east, no matter who he is, they will be destroyed together, and complete the unification, wouldn't it be strong"
Xue Fu, Lu Jialing and others in the East to Zhang Mai's ambition to mix, there are still reservations between words, Guo Luo and others are in the Far West but there is no fear, this sentence came out of the generals applauded, all said: "Not bad"
Zhang Mai laughed and said, "Destroy them together" and immediately wrote back to Guo Fen and Yang Yi, asking them to guard the border and wait for their return.
Not to mention that Dongfang Yang Yi and Xue Fu acted according to the order after receiving the letter, but said that it was already midsummer at this time, and the regular army of Tiance Tang Army arrived on the bank of the Yaozhi River reached 60,000, and there were 40,000 people distributed in the strongholds between the front line and the two rear (Talas and Ningyuan City) to ensure the rear road, in addition to the 60,000 regular army, there were 40,000 militiamen, craftsmen and other 40,000 people, in addition to 50,000 people recruited on the spot, 60,000 people of various ethnic tribes who took refuge under the authority of the Tiance army, and more than 200,000 people and horses who received command on the entire Yaozhi River. The team dedicated to transportation along the route is not among them. To maintain such a large army, every day can be said to be astronomical.
Guo Luoguang sent scouts and cavalry, knowing that after Satuk got the city of Samarkand, he immediately moved the army, grain, grass, and equipment to this city, preparing to use this largest city in Central Asia as a fortress to resist the Tang army
Yang Xin suggested to Zhang Mai that he would take advantage of Satuk's unstable foothold, and Xu Congshi led the Erfu light cavalry to approach his city and win by surprise, but Guo Luo vetoed it.
Guo Luo believes that the terrain here is very different from the North Court, Samarkand is not Talas, and Satuk's successive victories have greatly boosted the morale of his army, and he will not surrender like Talas. After all, the Hezhong region has been Tianfang for a hundred years, and there are many fanatical believers among the people, and the propaganda of Satuk Tong Guò has turned the image of the Tang Army into the devil in the Tianfang Sect, so he has a considerable public opinion base for launching this war against the Tang Army.
"If you attack a thousand miles with light cavalry, the chance of victory is extremely slim, and the silver spear battalion is tied to the morale of our army, so it cannot be lightly compromised."
Yang Xin was very unconvinced by Guo Luo's negation, but his boss Guo Wei did not support him this time, Guo Wei believed that the shape of today's army was different from the battle of Beiting, the current Tiance army was complete and the logistics were smooth, but the army was not adapted to the water and soil from afar, on the contrary, Satuk had many local advantages, but it was also faced with problems such as imperfect establishment and insufficient depth in the rear, so the Tang army was suitable to advance with a dignified and upright division, but it was necessary to worry that Satuk would win by surprise: "This battle has been fought for a long time, and our finances will not be able to support it." , but Satuk's problem is stricter than ours, and at this time, Satuk should be very eager to mess with us. ”
Guo Wei is a pro-noble general, Guo Wei is trusted, the two speak in unison, Zhang Mai adopted the idea of the two of them, he took the Chinese army in the center, let Guo Luo be the actual commander of the entire army, with Guo Wei as his deputy, changed Ma Jirong to lead the return to all ethnic groups, and was responsible for the logistics appropriate.
Guo Luo had ordered thousands of people to cut down trees upstream before coming to the division, and then drifted down the river, and then after getting the command of the battle, he ordered to arrange a raft, and made 20,000 rows of rafts in three days, and then arranged it with a strong bow in the narrow place of the Yaozhi River, and crossed the river from three locations at the same time
Satuk sent Ishtar to patrol the west bank of the Yaoshi River, with a total of 16,000 rangers, including 3,000 elites. This is already the deepest part of the entire Asian continent, there is no rain all year round, relying on the melting of ice and snow, in the middle of summer is the most abundant time of the Yaozhi River, although the water flow of the Yaozhi River can not be compared with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but the military horses of the Tang Army are also born inland, and they are all landlubbers, and they can not fight when they sit on a raft.
In addition, most of the west bank of the Yaozhi River is not a flat beach, and the terrain in many places is abrupt, making it difficult to go ashore. Ishtar mobilized his followers, set up more than 100 guard towers along the river for more than 300 miles, climbed the heights with teenagers to look at the wind, and at the same time patrolled the west bank with cavalry.
The Tang army crossed the river at night -- smuggling people and horses upstream at night.
Unexpectedly, Samarkand has its own skilled craftsmen, and even based on the description of the Hui army, a batch of cat's eye lamps were imitated, and the light was swept to the Tang family in the dark night to cross the river overnight, and Isha ordered to gather two thousand Tianfang archers and five hundred slingers, and smashed them in the direction of the Tang army's overnight crossing of the river, and the Tang army suffered as many as 500 casualties in one night, and countless people drowned.
Hu Bing watched Tang Jun make a fool of himself on the raft and laughed loudly, the laughter floated from one bank to the other, Guo Luo said angrily: "A little medicine killing river can't be crossed, what else do you say to sweep the Western Regions?" Guo Wei was called and ordered to plan the whole situation, and he was limited to successfully cross the river within three days, and if he was one day late, he would be beaten with ten military sticks, delayed for five days, and dealt with by military law
Guo Wei said: "The enemy army is tightly defended, and now the water is big, and I can't pass it for three days anyway." Even if you want to go around to a place where the enemy is less guarded, it will have to be 200 miles away, and the raft will be discovered by the enemy, but it will be too late to transport the raft by land, so please give me seven days. ”
Guo Luo said: "I will give you 10,000 troops, and then 20,000 people and 7,000 humas for you to dispatch temporarily, no matter what, you must successfully cross the river within three days, Satuk is now repairing the city wall in Samarkand, I don't want to give him too much time"
Guo Wei said: "The last general also knows that the soldiers are expensive and fast, but the more soldiers, the better, the generals on the other side of the strait are strict, even if they give me 100,000 people, it is difficult for me to break through in a hurry."
Guo Luo said: "Twenty percent of the ethnic groups in the river have now surrendered, and forty percent have voted for Satuk, but the rest are still waiting. If our army is victorious, we can win over these people, and if the battle is unsuccessful for a long time, these walls will fall to Satuk, and the further we go, the more difficult it will be to fight."
Guo Wei said: "Although this is the case, but within three days, it will not work"
Guo Luo Senran said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, as a noble general, if you can't even do this little thing, what can you talk about deterring Zhuhu?" ”
Guo Wei was silent for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I will receive forty military sticks first."
He is Zhang Mai's deputy pointed out to Guo Luo, and the war has just begun, so he will fight his deputy first, which is inevitably imperious, but Guo Luo's words have been spoken, and he refuses to take it back, saying: "Okay, since you resist hard, then I will fulfill you"
Yang Xinxu didn't expect Guo Luo to really fight, they were all startled, Zhang Mai was stunned, but it was not easy to speak, Ma Jirong hurriedly came to persuade him, Guo Luo said: "As the acting commander, the military order must not be changed."
Zhen ordered Guo Wei to be beaten on the spot with forty military sticks, although Guo Wei's skin was thick and the executive sergeant did not use spicy hands, he still beat Guo Wei so hard that he almost fainted.
Xi Weinan, Xu Congshi and others carried Guo Wei down angrily, and Yang Xin said angrily: "Before, I said that I wanted to win by surprise, but he refused, and insisted that he should use the right soldiers." Now it's okay, I lost the opportunity, but I was stopped by such a big water and couldn't get by, and I came to attack us again, saying that he crossed the river to fight in three days, and if he wanted to win in a few days, he would win in a few days, if he had this ability, he would try to hum sideways because he was the uncle of the country, and he had never seen how much ability he had."
There was already a contradiction between the old army and the new strong army in Lingxi, Guo Luo had guarded Ningyuan in recent years, and he had done little miracles, so Yang Xin disagreed with him.
Guo Wei had already recovered a little at this time, and asked Xi Weinan: "Raise the account"
Xi Weinan exclaimed: "General, you are injured like this, and you are still raised?" ”
Guo Wei's forehead was still sweating out, and he said: "Since he dares to beat me with forty military sticks in front of the marshal, if we can't cross the river after seven days, he dares to take me to military justice. ”
Xi Weinan knew that it was reasonable, and hurriedly ordered the account to be raised, Guo Wei waited for the generals to finish, and pointed to the two strands of his skin and flesh and said: "How did my two strands become like this, you should all have received the rumors." ”
All the generals knew that Guo Wei had been very favored by Zhang Mai recently, and Guo Luo actually said that he would fight, looking at the two strands of flesh and blood, they were all shocked.
Guo Wei didn't have much strength, but his tone was full of undoubted majesty: "I know that since the victory of Beiting, some people have become arrogant, and some people have received many rewards and spared their lives, and some people are not accustomed to the water and soil, and they can't use their strength, all in all, I can't see how hard you work these days, but it won't work in the next seven days, Guo Dudu dares to beat me with forty military sticks in advance, and after eight days, if we are still on the east coast, then he dares to take my head."
Xi Weinan said: "But the black-clothed cavalry of the Heavenly Fang Sect on the other side is very tightly defended, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to storm the past." ”
"It's not easy, and I have to go over, is it that my forty military sticks are in vain" Guo Wei said: "Even if the medicine killing river is filled, we have to rush over from tonight, whether it is the government soldiers, the militia or the Hu cavalry, everyone only sleeps for an hour and a half every day, and the rest of the time will be filled in the river for me, I will personally supervise, but if I see the slack, whether he is a soldier or a general, he will be killed on the spot."
The hearts of all the generals are all in the same place
Xi Weinan said strangely: "Do you want to fill the medicine to kill the river?" This...... This ......"
"I have already chosen the river section" Guo Wei said: "From tomorrow, Hu cavalry will transport stones, people will carry soil, and as soon as the river is filled, the government soldiers will rush over."
Yang Xin said: "We also want to transport sand and gravel?" ”
Guo Wei didn't even look at him, what else did Xi Weinan say, Guo Wei said: "Don't you follow orders" He propped up half of his body with his left hand, pulled out a horizontal knife, and said: "From this moment on, whoever has two words, kill"
The generals were in their hearts, they didn't dare to disobey, and they sent men and horses at the moment, Guo Luo was not short to give them to his men and horses, a total of 10,000 soldiers, 20,000 people, and 7,000 Hu horses, and drove to the section of the river that Guo Wei selected - it was a narrow place, this section of the river had a bend, from the east and west to the southeast-northwest, forming a somewhat crooked L-shape, Isha was deployed on the west bank and south bank of the river, where the terrain was higher and there were many cliffs, the Tang army was located on the north bank and east bank of the river, and the east bank was adjacent to a lowland, according to the local aborigines, In summer and autumn, when the river is at its peak, the water of the Yaozhi River floods its banks, turning the lowlands into a swamp of tens of square miles. However, now the Yaozhi River is one month away from the peak period of returning the river.
Guo Wei ordered troops in the middle of the night, acted in the early morning, and from the next day onwards, he took materials on the spot, dug up the nearby soil and stones, Hu rode to transport stones, and the people transported the soil, all piled up on the riverbank, and even the government soldiers became hard laborers.
Yang Xin has been used to being a hero since the First World War in Beiting, how refreshing is it to dominate the wind and clouds on horseback? Now he was arranged to dig the soil, and when he changed it, he threw away the hoe and walked away, at this time, look at Guo Wei's legs that were still bandaged in several layers but didn't dare to make a mistake, even he worked honestly, let alone ordinary soldiers. Fortunately, the people said that the Hu cavalry of the returning tribes were originally unruly, and they did not dare to disobey at this time, and 27,000 people started together, and in less than a day, they piled up a high mountain of earth on the east bank.
