Chapter 128 The Dragon Goes West
"Marshal, please let me take someone to find Uncle Dingbang." Yang Zhuo stood up.
After he stood up, suddenly no one fought with him.
Among all the Lingxi generals, when it comes to pro, no one is closer than him and Yang Yi and Yang Dingbang, Yang Yi will definitely not be able to leave, Yang Zhuo is his nephew, and his nephew is going to find his uncle, and no one can fight for him.
Guo Luo wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Mai thought about it and did not object.
——————————
After the meeting, Ge Lan was temporarily placed in the broken city to wait, Zhang Mai sent Shi Jian and Shi Kezhuang to receive the rest of his troops, as for Yang Dingbang's matter, but there is no final decision, Guo Luo has gone to Zhang Mai, Zhang Mai also made it clear that he has to search, as for the candidate and scale, it has not been said, Guo Luo said: "Xiao Zhuo seems to be very confident, will you really let him go?" ”
Zhang Mai hesitated and said, "Or." This thing has to be done and you have to be determined to do it, but not too many people, not too few. The northwest is barren, full of dangers, and it is a lonely army, if there are too few people who go, I am afraid that they will not be able to come back. I mean, everyone has to volunteer. It's best to have a group of people who don't have family members, or who have family members to go with you. If this trip goes well, there may be news in a few months, but we have to be prepared for a few years. ”
In this era, it is very dangerous to enter the wilderness, there is no established road between the mountains and forests, the people you meet may not understand the language, and since Satuk has already received the allegiance of the Fire Seeker, perhaps there are still those who continue to be loyal to him in the wilderness, and there may be attacks on the way. Therefore, the search for the west cannot be calculated by the distance in a straight line, and it is possible to search for the whereabouts of the lost in the vast land, not to mention years, sometimes decades.
Guo Luo somewhat understood what Zhang Mai meant, and after coming out, everyone was very enthusiastic when this matter was first mentioned, and if you really want to go there, you have to think about it carefully - this is more troublesome than charging into battle, charging into the position desperately, whether it is life or death to solve it at one time, but this matter is not in sight.
But Yang Zhuo seemed to be very resolute, and was already writing to Yang Yi and making some preparations for the westward journey. With him were Murong Qiuhua, as well as some people who had been agitated during the fall of Yang Yi in the Battle of Luntai.
Seeing Guo Luo coming, Yang Zhuo stopped what he was doing, and Guo Luo pushed the people next to him apart before saying, "Are you really determined to go?" It's hard to say whether Ge Lan's words are true or not, but if he goes this time...... I don't know what the future holds. ”
"The future is ......" Yang Zhuo looked at the west, and suddenly said: "Brother Luo, during the battle of Beiting, I ...... I've done something wrong. ”
Guo Luo didn't answer, but his expression told Yang Zhuo that he knew about it, and he paid attention to it.
"The marshal has not punished me for that matter so far. My brother, on the other hand, was annoyed. ”
Yang Zhuo was suspected of leaking upper-level intelligence, and was suspected of instigating soldiers to coerce Zhang Mai, not much of this kind of thing is very delicate, if it is handled clearly, it is difficult to say whether Yang Zhuo has violated military discipline, and it may cause cracks within the Lingxi generals, Zhang Mai handled it very low-key at the time, and did not mention it afterwards, if it was someone else, it might be a big thing or a small matter, but Yang Yi's requirements for his younger brother were extremely strict - even harsh This is also a tradition in his Yang family- Back then, when Yang Yi had not yet grown into a general in his own right, Yang Dingguo also suppressed him everywhere.
"Ah Yi told me about this in the letter," Guo Luo said, "but he didn't say much. I know he hasn't been kind to you lately, but you're brothers after all, and there's nothing you can't get by. ”
Yang Zhuo shook his head: "It's because I am a brother, so he is more strict with me than with other generals, once I ......" He hesitated, and finally said: "Once when I was about to enter the door, I happened to hear my brother talking to the marshal, he ...... He even wanted the marshal to exile me......"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhuo's eyes were a little red, but he quickly held back, not letting his feelings be too obvious, this young man, now less than twenty years old, although he has also experienced a lot of hardships in the past ten years, but with his father and brother in the way, he has not experienced much wind and rain in personnel, but in the past year, his heart has gone through a bitterness that he has not experienced in the past ten years.
"Over there in Beiting, new military training is going on now," Yang Zhuo said: "I know that my brother has opened some new camps, such as an orphan camp that he values very much, if it weren't for that, I think he would have handed it over to me, but now it has been handed over to a Guo Rong who came out of nowhere." ”
The so-called orphan camp is one of the new military camps established by Yang Yi after the Battle of Beiting, which takes the adopted sons of the Tiance Tang military generals as the backbone, and collects the elite young people of all ethnic groups who have lost their relatives in the war. Moreover, the equipment and training intensity of knives, horses, and supplies are not comparable to ordinary military governments.
For these new battalions, Yang Yi personally grasped the construction, Guo Rong was the deputy lieutenant of the battalion - and the lieutenant was a veteran, because the main composition of the battalion was teenagers, so Guo Rong faintly became the leader of the battalion. In a specially formed military camp like this, anyone with a discerning eye in the military can see that it is the seed of future elite soldiers, so although Guo Rong is only a deputy lieutenant, his name can be remembered by some high-level generals.
Guo Luo naturally knew that Yang Zhuo was probably stimulated in these matters, but at this moment he could only say: "Your brother has always been a meritocracy, who he uses and cultivates, he has his considerations and intentions, and you don't have to care too much." Maybe he didn't mean anything else. ”
Yang Zhuo still shook his head: "If I didn't mean anything else, I wouldn't have deliberately let me follow the marshal, no, not me, Qiuhua and them are also here - a few of them are not practical for them here." Now that I'm with the marshal, it's really useless. I think I came here, probably because my brother told the marshal to let him have a chance to exile us, since we are going to be exiled, instead of going to Yisohai, it is better to go to a farther place to find my uncle."
Guo Luo still wanted to say something, but Yang Zhuo had already said: "I have decided, I will go to find Uncle Dingbang, if I can find my uncle, it will naturally be good, maybe my brother will forgive me, but if I can't find it...... That is also in response to my brother's wish, or maybe, I can find a new world with fertile water and soil, just like Abian, to create a new territory for our Datang"
————————————
Seven days later, a team of 2,000 people, with Yang Zhuo as the commander and Murong Qiuhua as the supervisor, was organized, and the 2,000 people were a motley team, including more than 300 Lingxi veterans, as well as some logistics personnel, and some women's families. In addition to them, it was to let Ge Lan lead more than 1,000 people to lead the way. Zhang Mai made a promise that as long as Yang Dingbang could be found, he would arrange for Ge Lan to return to Beiting after he returned.
After the departure of more than 3,000 people, calm was restored, but news came from Ningyuan on the other side of Xifang, and it was Samaman's general who asked Guo Luo to hurry up and enter the army.
In the previous winter, the radical rebels retreated to the cities they occupied for the winter, but after the beginning of the spring, the offensive became fierce again, Bukhara was in a hurry again, and Samarkand was crumbling, and the former commercial and prosperous city is now in internal and external difficulties, and I don't know how many people have broken down in the siege.
To the west, the Bouweich brothers continued to advance into the river, and although they had not yet reached the city of Bukhara, the sense of despair that the rescue from the west had been cut off put great pressure on the defenders of Bukhara.
Nesr II sent a letter to Ning Yuan asking for help again, and this time he was even more angry, almost as long as the Tiance army could save him, let alone cut the land, he was willing to pay tribute to Zhang Mai
"It's time." Liu Anlai said in his letter. Zhang Mai asked Guo Luo's opinion.
"If you want to destroy Satuk, it's time." Guo Luo said: "But we are not enough food and grass now." ”
Zhang Mai laughed and scolded: "Ah Luo, when did you learn so badly? ”
He looked to the west and suddenly sighed.
Guo Luo said: "The general trend has been decided, what are you sighing about, Brother Mai?" ”
Zhang Mai said: "I sigh that this land is too big, and I don't know how to rule. ”
If others heard this, they would be stunned, but Guo Luo knew very well that Zhang Mai was not pretending.
Too much land is different from too much money, and how to govern is indeed a difficult problem, especially at the current level of technology, if you want to rule such a large territory and rule it effectively and for a long time, it is really a difficult problem to solve.
"However," Zhang Mai smiled and said, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I believe there will be a way."
On the same day, Zhang Mai asked Wei Renpu to draft a document informing the entire territory of Samani, announcing that he would lead a large army to relieve the siege of Bukhara in person. Wei Renpu wrote this letter with a lot of omissions, and had it translated into Persian, and even sent someone to compile it into a poem
It was expected that when this document reached Bukhara, it would cause a stir among the Samanid monarchs, the army and the people
However, at this time, it was already July and August, and it took a long time for the documents to reach Bukhara, coupled with the mobilization of the Tang army and other affairs, it was accidentally winter again.
The Samanid garrison on the other side of the West Horse also felt the pressure of the rebel army increase at this time, which was large enough to not only besiege Samarkand and Bukhara, but also a considerable number of stray troops were attacking the security of the West Horse. Therefore, he was also scared, and hurriedly asked Ning Yuan's side for help, hoping that the two sides could join forces to defeat these traitors.
As time passed, Yang Xin and Xu Congshi were adapting to the climate, water and soil deep inland, and the autumn harvest season of spring wheat was coming.
This winter is peaceful, it is not like the winter of the Battle of Beiting, but in its peace, there is a hidden killing machine that swept through it
A dragon is about to take off, and when it once again swallows the clouds of its king, who else in the Western Regions can not accept its shroud?
