201 dilemma Hou Junji
"Pingguo Gong, why is it that the whole army is camped at this hour?"
Gu Xiaotang sent the number one warrior under his command, Huoba Guiren, to protect Tang Ping, but he didn't tell the whole truth to this Hanhan.
Because he really has no scheming, he can't hide his words, and if he is tricked, it will not be beautiful.
Therefore, it is true that Huo Ba Guiren is going to attack Hou Junji this time.
After marching only ten miles in the morning, they stopped for lunch, although the food was good, which greatly boosted the morale of all the soldiers.
However, in the afternoon, the army only marched for more than ten miles, and Tang Ping ordered to camp and rest.
Huo Ba Guiren finally couldn't hold back and ran to ask Tang Ping.
You must know that although the quality of their Turkic army is uneven, the most important thing that the Turks lack is animal power.
Except for the cavalry with mounts, it is ???????????????? The infantry was lightly armed, and all the baggage was pulled by carts.
In addition, the journey of this day is all a flat river, if the fire is pulled out and Guiren leads the troops, I am afraid that this day will not have to travel a hundred miles.
"General Huoba Quyren, it's cold weather, and it's not soldiers down there...... So they can only rest and rest more. ”
"Humph!" Huo Ba Guiren thought that the reason Tang Ping said was true, and said indignantly: "Those nobles usually jump out when they have benefits, this time it is clear that you have such favorable conditions for the Duke of Pingguo, but they are so good at you!" ”
"If you want me to say, you should kick those people out, and you can't give them a cent of the money given according to the head!"
A veteran of the army like Huoba Quy Nhon could see in the morning that half of the troops gathered by the various tribes had undergone military training.
Not to mention how many people have been on the battlefield, he feels that the soldiers who are used to make up the number of soldiers in this way are not only useless when they go to the battlefield, but may affect the combat effectiveness of other soldiers.
Helplessly, he persuaded him several times, but Tang Ping didn't agree, and he had no choice.
"Okay, General Huoba Quy Nhon doesn't have to be angry, after accepting those people, I naturally have my use, come on, I have a bottle of good wine here, although alcohol is not allowed when marching in the army, but since General Huoba Quy Nhon is here, I can still drink a few sips to drive away the cold."
After pacifying Huoba Guiren, Tang Ping still went his own way for a few days, marching no more than twenty or thirty miles a day.
However, although the speed of progress was not fast, the news of Tang Ping's dispatch of troops spread quickly.
There is no way, this is the dispatch of more than 100,000 troops, and Tang Ping is leading the army forward so swaggering every day, as long as there is a little bit of ear and eye power, it is difficult to know this news.
It's just that the reason why Tang Ping sent troops is that the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.
It is said that Tang Ping proposed to the Turkic Khan Gu Xiaotang because of Hou Junji.
It is said that Tang Ping found that Gu Xiaotang's child was not his own, but Hou Junji's.
It is even said that Tang Ping found out that Hou Junji actually fell in love with someone else......
Anyway, when the news of Tang Ping's dispatch of troops spread all over the country, there were at least more than ten kinds of theories in the market, and each had its own supporters!
However, the Tang Dynasty court was not idle, and all armies received news that they would select elite soldiers and go north to aid Pingguogong.
】
Frequent movements have indeed begun among the armies.
Many forces feel that this is the Tang Dynasty???????????????? It's time to pull out the nails around him, Hou Junji has been supporting troops in the Northeast for so many years, and he is finally going to be liquidated.
The Tubo people are also relieved, and the recent domestic uprisings have been frequent, and they have pressed the gourd to float the scoop.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty wants to attack Hou Junji, which is the situation they want to see the most.
"Tougo, what are we going to do?"
Hou Junji, who was Tang Ping's target, of course, also received the news.
All the strategists and generals under his command were gathered together.
Over the years, they have followed Hou Junji in the Northern Yan Capital Protectorate, although some were forced and some took the initiative.
But in the end, the benefits here are not less, and when the time comes, the court will liquidate, and they are afraid that none of them will be able to escape.
Everyone and Hou Junji are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost.
"What are you panicking about?" Although he has long known that sooner or later Datang will move himself, Hou Junji really didn't expect it to be now.
Winter is about to fall, and this northeastern land is even colder after winter, although Tang Ping does not deal with himself, but he has never underestimated each other.
In the middle of winter, more than 100,000 people are coming to attack themselves, what kind of madness is this?
As for the rumors circulating in the market, he naturally did not believe them.
Although Tang Ping, this kid is not old, but he is treacherous, and it will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Where have they gone now?"
"According to the spies, they were still at the Toyosu boundary three days ago!"
"Still at the Toyosu border?"
"This ...... Are they turtles crawling? ”
"It's not that the spies are reporting a mistake, right?"
Hearing this news, many people raised questions.
You must know that the location of the Turkic royal court is probably near modern Baotou, and the boundary of Fengzhou is probably in Hohhot when it is changed to modern times.
Baotou to Hohhot modern driving is more than 100 kilometers, there was no high speed in ancient times, the distance will be farther, but it is almost 300 miles away.
And Tang Ping led the troops to set off three days ago, it has been more than ten days, and in more than ten days, they have walked such a little way, no wonder these generals in the army are a little suspicious that something is wrong.
"The spies are right, according to the reports of the past few days, Tang Ping led the army and walked about thirty miles every day."
The strategist in charge of the news said: "And I heard that the army led by Tang Ping this time is not a ???????????????? Many of the elites who fell were made up by the herdsmen and the people. ”
Soldiers are not expensive, they understand this truth, and they believe that Tang Ping also understands.
But now that Tang Ping is marching towards them slowly with so many miscellaneous troops, they don't understand.
Fear comes from the unknown, and what they are most afraid of is Datang, which is even more amplified.
"What kind of conspiracy does Tang Ping have?"
"Could it be that he is a reinforcement in Datang?"
"You don't have to bring so much waste when you wait for reinforcements, do you? Wouldn't it be better to take the elite cavalry directly to our border with the Turks first? ”
The generals below discussed one after another, but they couldn't come up with a result.
"General, or let's strike first! Let's attack Yanzhou! ”
Fuzhou is now Zhangjiakou, which was the Yanzhou of Hebei Province during the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the junction of the Northern Yan Protectorate and the Turkic Protectorate.
"Yanzhou?" Hou Junji smiled bitterly: "Our people got the news that now all the walls of Yanzhou have been replaced with new artillery, which is said to be the same as the battleships used by Tang Ping in the South Seas. ”
"Although the range is not as far as it used to be, and the power is much smaller, the rate of fire is fast! A hundred new cannons were arranged on the entire city wall of Yanzhou, and our siege machines were all destroyed before they got close. ”
In ancient times, if there were no siege equipment, the tall city wall was the wall of sighs, and it could not be attacked no matter what.
"So, how about we stay out of the edge for a while?"
"Retreat? Where to retreat? Do you continue north to pull the lady where the bird doesn't? ”
