Chapter 120: Confrontation (3)
(Happy Valentine's Day!) )
* The scarlet battle flag is rolling fiercely against the west wind, and Noshi Ryosuke's heart is also undulating like this rolled red flag.
"It's been eight years."
I've been waiting for this moment for eight years. And the officers and men of the Fengxiang Army waited for fifty years.
Ambassador Zhang, Ryosuke Noshi will not let you down. The former Fengxiang Festival made Zhang Jingze's voice and smile appear in Noshi Ryosuke's mind. Zhang Jing was determined to restore Hehuang all his life, but unfortunately he died of illness in the second year of Yongzhen before his ambition was paid, and before his death, he still recited Du Fu's "Shu Xiang":
"Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears."
Die by shouting "across the river". And the river he was going to cross was hundreds of miles in front of him.
That place used to be under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and now it is occupied by Tibet. In the past, millions of people of the Tang Dynasty had become slaves, and the Tubo and the Qiang and Dangxiang people who lived under the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the past have become lords, driving the Han slaves. Those who used to be proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty are now forced to shave their hair and change their clothes and walk bent over.
"There is not a day when the little old man doesn't look east at Wang Shi."
Ye Shiliangfu still remembers the words of a Han slave rescued by him and Hao Yu that year after setting aside a Tibetan camp. The Han man was only in his forties, but his hair was all white, his teeth were clean, and his waist could no longer straighten.
"It's not just the little old man, this river is a million people, which one is not looking forward to it."
The Han people's words were full of leaky words, and no Shi Ryosuke still seemed to remember them clearly. Ye Shi Liangfu is a Hu person, but he has been in the Tang Dynasty for several generations and considers himself a Tang person. Looking at the ruined homeland destroyed by the Tubo people, Noshi Ryosuke still remembers the oath he made with Hao Yu that day. Since then, he and Hao Wei have been competing for the first place in every battle, and almost never leave a living mouth when they encounter the Tubo people. made himself and Hao Wei have a notoriety for treating children's crying among the wicked people in Tibet.
After Hao Yu arrived in Jingyuan, he still retained his habits, and every time he won a prisoner, he would be cut out and returned to his corpse, and the Tibetan people were afraid of him like a god. After Hao Jue entered the court, he made many great contributions, and now he has controlled one side, and it is said that the reward of the same amount of gold originally offered by Tubo Zampu for Hao Jue has now increased several times. But he was still just a soldier and horse envoy of the Longzhou Assassin and the Right Army (Eleventh Army), and he barely changed his reward for equal gold. After Li Yu returned to Fengxiang, he once joked that Ye Shiliang said:
"There are only a few more generals like Ryosuke, and I'm afraid that, as Your Majesty said, the Tubo Kingdom will go bankrupt."
Three days ago, Hao Yu had already led the Jingyuan Army and the 70th Army of the 3rd and 4th Armies of the Shence Army with a total of 65,000 people, and paid tribute to the two mounds of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who died in the Pingliang Tribulation Alliance in Qianshuiyuan - "Jingyi Tomb" and "Huaizhong Tomb" (in the third year of Zhenyuan, Jingzhou Thorn History, Chongsi Town, Beiting Xing Camp, and Jingyuan Jiedu Branch Camp Tian and other envoys Liu Chang went to the place of Pingliang to rob the alliance, and collected the bones of the dead soldiers. Dezong issued an edict to restrain himself, and sent the secretary and young eunuch Kong Shurui and the envoy to make hundreds of royal dishes and clothes, and ordered Chang to collect his bones, which were divided into 30 generals and 100 soldiers, each with coffins and clothes, and buried in the shallow water plain. Build two mounds, the general said "Jingyi mound", and the soldiers said "Huaizhong mound". Zhao Hanlin wrote an inscription. After that, with Zhang Pingzi as the vanguard, he attacked Pingliang City from the mouth of the Zhengxia Gorge, and then the soldiers from Pingliang, Lianyunbao and Hugubao were divided into three divisions. The will of the imperial court has been issued, with the crown prince Li Chun as the generalissimo of the Longyou soldiers and horses in Guannei, with Lu Wen as the marching chief, and Wang Bo as the military envoy, he led the Second Army of the Guards to Jingzhou to set up the Longyou Expedition, and officially began the Longyou Campaign. The edict made Li Yu from the Fengxiang Festival, Hao Yu from the Jingyuan Festival, and Liu Yun from the Baoyi Army as the deputy marshal of Xingtai, and marched into the army.
Today is the day when the Fengxiang Army marches.
"Generals, the task of my Left Route Army—the 11th and 12th Armies of Fengxiang, the 1st and 2nd Armies of Shence, and the 72nd Army of the Right Guard—is to be responsible for the southern front, cross the Taoshui after recovering Lintao, recover Hehuang, persecute Shanzhou, attract the main force of the Tubo army, and ensure the victory of the Battle of Lanzhou and the Battle of Hexi. The right route army composed of the Jingyuan Army and the Shence 34th Army was in the north of us, responsible for capturing Lanzhou, and then crossed the river and fought the Hexi Battle with Li Guangyan's right servant of the Xia Sui Army, who was waiting to leave the division, to recover Hexi. After that, they can turn around and cross the river and merge with our army, which means that in a period of several months, tens of thousands of soldiers of our Left Route Army and Baoyi Army will face the oppression of at least 25 Tubo troops alone, are your generals confident? ”
Yes, of course there is, looking at the fluttering "Jing Zejun" military flag of the Eleventh Army, a smile appeared on the corner of Noshi Ryosuke's mouth and raised the horse whip in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Hao Yu reported that the army has entered the city of Wuquan in Lanzhou."
At the cabinet meeting, Pei Du briefly reported the latest military situation. Lanzhou is an important town on the ancient Silk Road, and the Western Han Dynasty set up a county to govern it, and called Jincheng by taking the meaning of "Jincheng Soup Pool". At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion was replaced, and it was originally called Lanzhou. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Xue raised troops against the Sui Dynasty, called the overlord of Western Qin, and built the capital Jincheng. Soon the capital was moved to Tianshui, and was later destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Tang Wude restored Lanzhou in the second year. Eight years in the Governor's Palace. In the first year of Xianqing, it was changed to a state. In the first year of Tianbao, it was changed to Jincheng County. In the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (759 AD), Jincheng County was changed to Lanzhou, and the state governed Wuquan, and governed Wuquan and Guangwu two counties. In the first year of Baoying (762 AD), Lanzhou was occupied by Tubo, and it has been a full fifty years. Now that the banner of * has reappeared under Wuquan City, the cabinet members present can't help but feel excited.
Pei Du's recital was not finished, and after the excitement of everyone subsided slightly, he said:
"Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Yu lead the army from the 17th, three days after Hao Jue's division to attack from Tianshui, the right army soldiers and horses made Ye Shi Liangfu led more than 10,000 light cavalry to travel 100 miles a day, defeated the Tubo Wusheng army, a few days ago, the report has been regained Di Dao, the soldiers are in Taoshui."
Di Dao is the rule of Lintao Prefecture, since ancient times it is a famous town in the northwest and an important town in Longyou, and it is the birthplace of the Longyou Li clan to which the Tang royal family belongs, so as soon as I heard about the recovery of Di Dao, the cabinet ministers got up one after another and said:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
For a while, he didn't even notice what Pei Du said about the soldiers.
