How do you kill three birds with one stone?

The first is to suppress the Loulan bandits, and directly deter the Shule defenders, especially the Wei Chi lady, with strong combat power. made her clearly see how powerful and invincible the combat power of the Great Song Imperial Guards was, so that she could dispel the heart of rebellion against the Great Song Dynasty and become a heavyweight chess piece to prevent Zhang Heizi from rebelling again in the future.

The second is to buy people's hearts, the "Loulan bandits" have been crisscrossing the sand sea for many years, and most of the displaced people in the Western Regions around Shule City have been plundered and invaded by it.

Coupled with the political training and propaganda of the Xuanwei team, it is naturally easy to snatch the hearts of the displaced people in the Western Regions from Zhang Heizi and Wei Chi Niangzi with a strong attitude.

In the end, in fact, Liu Xing is just expecting, expecting those thieves who have never been enemies of the Great Song Dynasty to be a group of people who have some kind of inseparable feelings for the Great Song Dynasty.

Or the Han and Tang Dynasty remnants center to the Central Plains, unswerving loyal to the Han people, or the descendants of the old Western army who were defeated and captured during the Western Xia campaign and exiled in the Western Regions.

In either case, as long as it is one of them, then in the future, the group of people who are extremely familiar with the situation in the Western Regions can become a powerful force to help the Great Song Dynasty after opening the Western Regions Protectorate......

However, knowing that the ghostly bandits of the desert are difficult to find, and after finding traces, judging from their past actions, they must be a group of bandits that are difficult to suppress. Wu Gong only gave Wang Xuan a battalion of troops, and it was strange that Wang Xuan was not in a hurry to shout.

Of course, Wu Gong didn't really take revenge for personal gain.

Seeing Wang Xuan tiptoeing to point at his nose and scold, Wu Gong's face suddenly sank and said: "You lead a battalion of troops to be responsible for the search, and you can't forcibly occupy it, only to lure." I personally led two battalions of soldiers to follow you from afar, and if you find the traces of those thieves and entangle them in one place, I will catch up with you and strike them together to keep you safe. ”

After receiving Wu Gong's reply, Wang Xuan's face looked a little better.

But soon he looked at Wu Gong with his bronze bell-like eyes, and asked suspiciously: "You personally led the troops to follow me, so who will carry out the third party strategy set by Taifu?" ”

Is there a third party slightly?

Yes, Liu Xing decided not to use force, but to use Chile to subdue the vicious Wei Chi lady in Shule City, naturally it was not enough to use only one or two tricks.

So what is a third party? The third-party strategy is very important, but it is not Wu Gong who is a military general who does well, Wu Gong, who is self-aware, knows that he is a military general, and he can't do a good job of the third-party strategy.

After Wang Xuan's question, he was still a little helpless and unwillingly said: "The general envoy in Shule personally sent by the Li Fan Yuan will come by airship in the near future, and he will preside over the third party." I just have to leave enough people for him, and the master will make it clear, and I will set up the stage to sing for that person. ”

"I'm waiting for the stage to be set up and the man is singing, who is that person? What a big face! Seeing and hearing Wu Gong's words and expression, Wang Xuan immediately showed a look of disgruntle.

With a wry smile again, Wu Gong said: "Since the time of Wutai, that person has been following Ma Kuo and Governor Ma for nearly two years. He followed Governor Ma to Jinghu in the south, Goryeo in the east, Ningxia in the west, and grassland in the north. cough, I'm a brother, compared to this time, it's really better than him, and the text is not as good as him. ”

"Brother? Could it be that your Erlang is going to come to Shule to be the general envoy of the Nali Domain? ”

Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled strangely: "Since it is your own brother, why do you want to be like this?" Hey, hey, could it be that you are jealous that Wu Erlang is more appreciated than you, and this time you are actually regarded as the protagonist of the third-party strategy, are you jealous? ”

Glancing at Wang Xuan with a dark face, Wu Gong pouted and said: "What kind of vinegar do I eat, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a civil official, I still don't believe that even if he is the chief envoy of the domain, he can still come to take charge of the military power on my behalf." Even if he is given the right to take charge of the army, he has no experience in leading troops, and he can still rob me of all the credit......"

Wu Gong is very confident and confident that his own brother will not be able to take away his credit even if he comes to Shule.

Sometimes, however, an overconfident person will despise others, especially those he thinks he knows well. Wu Gong despised his younger brother, Wu Fu, the general envoy of the Shule Office of the Li Fan Yuan, this time.

Just when Wu Gong was self-righteous, full of resentment, and even spoke contemptuously about his brother, Wu Fu had actually been ordered to secretly rush to the northeast of Shule City.

Moreover, Wu Fu's arrival was not just him, or he only came with a group of people from the Li Fan Academy. With him came a standard, a whole number of soldiers of the Guards.

It was still an airship landing, and Wu Fu took a standard and 1,500 soldiers to fall on several sand dunes twenty miles northeast of Shule City with the help of the sand barriers raised by the majestic desert in the early morning.

As soon as he landed, Wu Fu immediately issued three commands to the standard system beside him.

The first order, Wu Fu, asked Nabiao to send out a battalion to the west to cut off the passage for Zhang Heizi to leave those ambush soldiers outside Shule City to return to help Shule.

The soldiers were sent out, and Wu Fu didn't let that battalion forcibly block them. Only that battalion was allowed to take advantage of the terrain and dig a horse trap that spread more than one mile wide and two miles long.

As long as those Zhang Heizi's ambush soldiers dare to turn back to Shule, they will fall into those thousands of trapped horse pits at any time and be thrown into pieces.

The second order, Wu Fu, sent another battalion to the east. What to do?

Wu Fu asked the three hundred soldiers in that battalion who were not weak in mana to rotate every four hours, using spells and using the morning wind as a cover to continue to create sand barriers, so that the sand barriers became an obstacle that would not disappear for a long time.

The official road to the east of Shule City was covered with sand barriers, and it was also the most important supply channel for Shule firearms and food. After casting the spell, the battalion was selected to use another 200 strong martial arts as ambush soldiers.

Whoever dared to break through the sand barrier and deliver supplies to Shule City, Wu Fu gave only one order: kill and hide the corpse on the spot.

The third order, Wu Fu sent the troops of the last battalion to block the official road to the north of Shule in the same way as the official road in the east, and it was also an order: those who dared to forcibly carry the baggage to Shule were killed without forgiveness, beheaded, and the corpse was hidden on the spot after the killing.

After the distribution and deployment of this force was completed, Wu Fu issued another order to the chief of the military intelligence section of that standard: No matter what method or even means you use, bring a team of men and horses to cut off all the water sources around Shule City except for the advance army of our army......

When the chief of the military intelligence section was ordered to pick up a team of soldiers and horses and sneak out, Wu Fucai took the remaining soldiers and horses to appear on the official road with a swagger, sounded the gong all the way, and walked towards Shule City with a posture of going on a mission.
