Chapter 130 Goal - Kulan City!

The selection of the left-behind ministers was finally announced on a small scale, and unexpectedly, the left-behind ministers were not Shi Huaicheng, but Ge Danmo, Shi Huaicheng couldn't help but be stunned after getting the news, and Ge Danmo was overjoyed. (He has been worried about the new domain name since he was attached to Zhang Mai, and he and Ge Qihui did not get much promise when they surrendered to Guo Luo, so they have always tried their best to please Zhang Mai, hoping to win his favor.)

It's a pity that all along, Ge Danmo's actions don't seem to have been able to get Zhang Mai's favor, this time to fight for the remaining ministers, Ge Danmo actually didn't have a lot of certainty, I didn't expect Zhang Mai to choose him in the end.

When Shi Huaicheng was stunned, Ge Danmo and his son had already knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, shouted long live, and promised Zhang Mai that they would take good care of the pieces for military supplies.

Zhang Mai smiled slightly, Ge Danmo and his son have actually never been able to enter the decision-making center of the Tiance Tang Army - even if it is only the decision-making center of the Western Road Army, sometimes Shi Huaicheng can enter, and Ge Danmo and his son are also excluded from the periphery, and now even Ge and his son have this understanding, so there is almost no need to hide the matter of the Western Expedition.

"The supply of military supplies is naturally needed, but it is more important to maintain the stability of the broken." Zhang Mai put away the smile and said: "Ge joined the army, I heard a lot of bad things about you before, this time it was after repeated consideration, I tried my best to let you stay in pieces, I hope you don't let people say that I Zhang Mai saw the wrong person." ”

"Don't worry, marshal," Gordammore swore an oath: "Your Majesty will do everything in his power to live up to the marshal's trust." ”

Zhang Mai nodded with satisfaction, and announced the next few other personnel appointments, since it was decided that Ge Danmo would stay behind, Shi Huaicheng would stay in pieces, but Zhang Mai asked him to go to Ningyuan to assist Guo Luo, and listen to Guo Luo's arrangement - Ningyuan was the first big city occupied by the Tiance Tang Army except for Shule, and the city operation mechanism had already been determined, but there was no need to worry about it like the broken side.

But Zhang Mai left Shi Huaicheng's son Shi Kezhuang as Shi Ba's deputy - the two had fought as early as the Yihei offensive and defensive war, and the two sides admired each other, and Shi Kezhuang was also the head of the snake, and having him to help Shi Ba was very helpful to stabilize the military of Dìng.

As for Ge Danmo's son Ge Qihui, Zhang Mai incorporated him into the Longxiang Army.

Shi Huaicheng and Ge Danmo knew the meaning of this arrangement, and Shi Huaicheng thought that although he couldn't stay in the deep roots, if he entered Ningyuan, he might have the opportunity to enter the deeper core of Tiance Datang and gain further trust. And Ge Danmo has no resentment about this, since Zhang Mai handed over the broken pieces to him, it is common to leave his son to be a proton by his side - not to mention that Ge Qihui has the hidden intention of being a proton by Zhang Mai's side, but it is also an opportunity for Ge Qihui to contact Zhang Mai and gain trust, one of the father and son is guarding outside, and the other is serving the monarch inside--not happy for those who want to rebel, but it is very compatible with Ge Danmo and his son.

――――――――――――

After the autumn harvest in the Lianghe River Valley, grain stocks increased by a large margin -- this was a military cantonment carried out by more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and this year, under the supervision of the military, agriculture and animal husbandry were used as their business, and industry and commerce were suppressed in the Lianghe area, and grain consumption was small and output was large, so there was a huge amount of surplus grain.

After the winter, Zhang Mai, who was far from being broken, made adjustments in both military and political aspects at the same time.

The first is the readjustment of the military system. Before the Tiance Tang Army followed the old system of the Anxi Tang Army, there were eight hundred, one thousand, and one thousand two hundred people in the government soldiers, which were considered small, medium, and large, and Zhang Mai himself had always been accustomed to the decimal system, and felt that there might be some problems in the army scheduling when divided into large and small mansions, and he had consulted with Guo Luo and Yang Yi several times on this matter, and since then he has decided to gradually adjust the military system and set the number of units in the government at 1,000 people.

At the same time, the generals above the generals who have made meritorious contributions since the Beiting War were promoted.

At the beginning of the big victory in Beiting, in addition to Yang Xin and Xu Congshi quickly climbed up from the bottom, Guo Wei was also promoted to general in one fell swoop, but except for him, Zhonglang General and above were not promoted. This time, the merits were counted again, and the Beiting victory was calculated together with the two rivers victory, Guo Luo and Yang Yi were promoted to generals, and Guo Wei, Shi Ba, Murong Chunhua, and Ma Jirong were promoted to generals, and the rest of the meritorious Zhonglang generals also followed the tide. Xue Fu stayed in the rear, although he had no military merits, he was able to stabilize the situation, which should also be rewarded, but the tradition of the Tiance Tang Army was based on military merits, and Xue Fu had nothing to do in the east, just as Guo Luo had nothing to do when he was guarding Ningyuan, and the politicians could give the evaluation of "merit is not under the generals on the front line", but without military merit, it was impossible to carry out such a qualitative promotion, so he was only given a generous reward.

So far, Guo and Yang are in the second echelon of the military at the same time, Xue Fu, Guo Wei, Shi Ba, Murong Chunhua, Ma Jirong, Cao Yuanzhong, etc. are the third echelon, which can be regarded as solving the problems left over from history, and at the same time, the status of the military top has also undergone subtle changes, although Xue Fu has not been promoted to general, but Xue Shanya has just given birth to a son for Zhang Mai, and his position in the rear is therefore more stable, and he is still the third person below Guo and Yang. In addition, Guo Wei's sudden rise to the point where he may reach the second tier in just one year is unimaginable in peacetime.

In the military, the civilian level has also been fine-tuned, mainly the change of the name of the head of government, which has been established by Zhang Yi and others before, and Zhang Mai's decision to implement it since then is related to Wei Renpu's promotion.

At present, the head of the internal affairs of the Tiance Army is Zheng Wei, and his position is the head of the Tiance Prefecture -- Wei Renpu believes that this is a kind of "semi-private" position, that is, the head of the Tiance Prefecture is obviously serving the general of the Tiance Prefecture and has the nature of a "minister"; as a major country that has become the world's first-rate power, it is not appropriate for the head of the administrative side to do so, and in addition, Lu Jialing and others are also in the name of "participating in the military" -- this is a tradition left by the Tang Army in Anxi, and whenever a new situation arises that requires the establishment of a new post, it is often set up to participate in the military. Therefore, there were about 20 military personnel of different levels in the Tiance Tang Army at this time. Moreover, all departments in the central government are called "divisions", which is obviously a departmental structure of a military government, which is tantamount to acquiescing to being a warlord rather than the central government.

Zhang Mai was under the construction of Wei Renpu, referring to Zhang Yi's proposal at the beginning, and changed the history of the governor of Tiance Mansion to the Zhongshu Order, with Zhang Yi as the Zhongshu Shilang, and Zheng Weishi officially became the head of the Tang Dynasty government of Tiance. Each division was changed to a ministry, each Cao was promoted to a division, and the name of a qiē seal was adjusted, although Zhang Mai was not called the emperor, and Yunai knew that he would never be under Li Congke.

In addition to the adjustment of the political court, a military account meeting was set up outside the correction and evaluation platform, with Yang Dingguo as the account, mainly composed of military leaders, to discuss the military.

――――――――――――――――

When Zhang Mai was making these military and political adjustments, Yang Xin and Xu Congshi did not pay much attention, and when Zhang Mai was in charge of the military and political adjustments, Guo Wei was appointed to march to the Talas region with a small number of troops - the entire army was only 7,000 people, with Guo Wei as the main general, Xi Weinan as the marching Sima, and Yang Xin and Xu Congshi as Guo Wei's left and right vanguards.

The two of them made military exploits on the way to the west to conquer the two river valleys, and now they have been promoted to one level, and they have become generals, he smiled and said to Xu Congshi: "We are fighting with our lives under Luntai City, this time we swept Yili and broke the two rivers, but it was like playing, so we can also be promoted."

Xu Congshi said leisurely: "This time, that time." Although this time it is going with the trend, it has also laid a territory of thousands of miles, and it is not a problem to upgrade to our next level. Besides, we worked hard that time, and we were promoted by more than one level. ”

Yang Xin suddenly pulled Xu Congshi's sleeve and said: "You are now famous all over the world, I'm afraid that even the Central Plains knows that you, the 'Arrow King', this Xu character has nothing to do with you, I think it's time to talk to the marshal, restore your surname." Now that Wei Renpu is already compiling the entourage and what other generals are there, if you don't change it back, I'm afraid that your descendants will follow you and your surname Xu forever. ”

The two of them now have the qualifications to see Zhang Mai at any time - not only because of their class, but also because Zhang Mai has a different cronies from the two of them, and everyone in the army now knows that Yang and Xu are the new favorites, and their favorites are almost no longer under Shi Ba Shi Jian.

Xu Congshi was a little embarrassed and said, "My surname is ...... But I really don't know what to say to the marshal. ”

"The longer it drags on, the more troublesome it becomes." Yang Xin said: "Although our origin is a little difficult to say, but I think with the shrewdness of the marshal, most of us already know a thing or two in our hearts, and we will not reveal it now, just wait for us to say it ourselves." ”

Xu Congshi patted the quiver, pointed the bow in the direction of Talas, and said: "The eldest husband is in battle, and he can't talk about it - let's talk about it in Talus."

The two of them each led a thousand elite cavalry, and instead of taking the mountain road to attack Shuerji, they crossed the broken desert and went straight to Kulan City.

This road was once walked by Satuk when he attacked the Talas region for the second time (the first time was to attack Saman, and the mountain road of Zhirki, and the second time was to attack the Anxi Tang army), and the characteristic of this road was that there were not many dangers along the way, and the road was not as narrow as the Zerki Mountain Road, but the road was circuitous, and there was almost no food and water supply for a long distance in between, and it was easy for the army to have difficulties in walking without support.

The two thousand elite soldiers led by Yang Xin and Xu Congshi were highly moraled, two thousand cavalry with four thousand war horses, in addition to four thousand camels, these two thousand people were the elite of the troops led by Yang and Xu, from Luntai City all the way to smashed, this way has been accustomed to the terrain of various Western Regions, including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts and swamps, and is no longer a simple team that will only impact on the plains.

During their journey of seven or eight thousand miles to the west, each of them did not pamper himself as a high-ranking soldier when there was no enemy, he became a sapper when he set up camp, he became a groom when he tended to his horses, and when there was a shortage of food, he would temporarily act as a herdsman to milk and graze, or temporarily act as a hunter to supplement his food--this ability to survive at any time according to the situation in the Western Regions is sometimes more rare and more important than the impact of war.

Yang Xin and Xu Congshi are no longer the children of a family of military generals in northern Jin at this moment, taking care of horses, milking sheep, and shooting and barbecuing, and they have become all-rounders. And in the long-distance experience, he has also honed his superhuman endurance.

On a desert march, the smaller the number of troops, the smaller the consumption of resources, because the greater the number of soldiers, the more supplies must be carried, and then a heavy army is needed, and with a heavy army, the speed of the march into the desert area will be reduced to more than three times that of the light cavalry - and the longer the march time will inevitably bring more supplies, which will inevitably increase the weight and personnel, and thus further affect the speed of the march.

However, this army did not have a special logistician to serve the sergeants, everyone had to take care of the logistics by themselves, and each person had to take care of two horses, two camels, two horses were transferred, and the two camels carried water, dried meat, and instant dry noodles produced in the Ningyuan area, in addition to some light war equipment.

The Talas region was an old place for the Tiance Tang army, and the army was naturally equipped with veterans who were familiar with the terrain here, and it only took two days to pass through the desert area north of the Erji Mountains and enter the narrow plains of the Kulan City area.

"The Sentry Post"

With the sentry post, it is close to Kulan City

"Woo-woo-"

The sentry post also spotted the Tang army, and hurriedly blew the horn, and soon wolf smoke was burning on a high slope two or three miles away, which was to report to the rear

Yang Xin said: "What should I do? ”

Xu Congshi said: "I'll take the lead, and you will follow behind." ”

"Good"

The tacit understanding between the two is unmatched among the generals of the fourth tier of the Tang Army

Xu Congshi put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle, and three hundred horses approached, and the other seven hundred horses followed.

The three hundred people surrounding Xu Congshi all have the ability to gallop horses and shoot horses, Xu Congshi shouted: "Brothers, our number is not much, our food and water are not much, and our feather arrows are not much, now it is winter, although the weather is not so cold that we can't move, but if it drags on, we can't withdraw without success, so we don't have much time to go to Kulan City, the soldiers don't stay, the arrows don't go in vain, and the Julan vow will not return."

Hundreds of people responded together: "I don't promise to pay it back."

"Go"

Xu Congshi shouted and rode his horse first

His mount was wounded and died in the battle of Luntai, after which Zhang Mai rewarded him with a purebred sweat and blood horse, its four hooves are made of rotten silver shoes, polished very brightly, the craftsman who beat the horse's hooves is quite ingenious, and even made a layer of surging lines on it, like a cloud, Zhang Mai used this horse to impact like lightning, so he gave it a name called Treading Cloud Flying Lightning.

At this time, Xu Congshi took the lead, galloped close to the sentry tower, there were two defensive soldiers on the sentry tower, seeing them to shoot downward, they were frozen enough by the cold wind in the high place, and the hands and feet of the enemy were not moved at first glance, the arrow was weak and weak, Xu Congshi saw the arrow to grab the arrow and grabbed the arrow, the Hui soldiers on the sentry tower were startled, and the Tang soldiers cheered in unison, Xu Congshi took the enemy arrow and shot it in the air, and the sentry tower screamed miserably, and it had already ended one.

The other saw that the general trend had gone and was about to get off the tower and escape, Xu Congshi's bow flicked, and there was a bang, and the Hui soldier was stiff in his hands and feet, and secondly, he was flustered, and thirdly, he was shocked by Xu Congshi's magic skills, and when he heard the sound of the bow, he didn't want to dodge, and he didn't grasp it firmly and fell down from it, and fell to death on the spot.

The adjutant general said: "It's a pity that there is no one alive"

Xu Congshi said coldly: "Our army has its own reliable guide - what do you want?"

The lieutenant pointed to the direction of the wolf smoke burning on the mountainside and said, "Do you want to go up and deal with them first?" ”

"No need," Xu Congshi said: "Don't waste this time, we have only one goal, that is, to go to Julan City."
