Chapter 57: Battle Plan

"Twenty thousand stone military rations?!"

Wei Xiaojie began to look at the old man in front of him again, and the person who could casually open his mouth to donate 20,000 stone of military rations could imagine how strong the assets behind him were!

This old man is really not ordinary!

Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, coupled with natural and man-made disasters in various places, the price of grain in Youzhou has increased from a bucket of ten wen to a bucket of fifty wen by unscrupulous businessmen.

At this time, Datang's consistent money is equivalent to one or two silver, that is, 1,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao, that is, 1,000 Wen. Ten buckets are one stone, one stone is 500 yuan, and 20,000 stones of grain is 10,000 yuan.

Proper family wealth!

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Xiaojie came back to his senses and glared angrily:

"There is no joke in the army, I have never heard of the Cai family in Danzhou! Even if my father-in-law's family is engaged in grain trading, it is impossible to store so much grain! ”

"Ahem, cough~!"

Cai Liuxin coughed, and he almost couldn't penetrate it in one breath.

After relieving for a while, he casually took a delicate handkerchief handed by the young man behind him, and wiped it on his face indiscriminately.

"It's not a secret, Chief Wei Da, the old man expected a few days ago that the city of Danzhou would be broken by the Turkic cavalry, the sandalwood official road would be occupied by the Turkic cavalry, and the Cai clan would also flee south!"

Wei Xiaojie: 。。。。。。

The nearby personal guards felt that the atmosphere of the chat was a little different, and they exchanged a few glances, held their sword scabbards, and quietly formed an encirclement in order to respond to emergencies at any time.

"Actually, my Cai family can't be regarded as a famous family in Danzhou, but our strength should not be underestimated. Some time ago, we didn't know that the Wang clan had betrayed the Tang Dynasty and were still transporting grain and grass materials for them. ”

"Until that day, the Turks all over the mountains appeared in Sandalwood Town, they burned, killed and looted, just didn't take our group of people who transported supplies in their eyes and ignored our existence, and the old man knew that some people were defective."

"At that time, Sandalwood Town was a purgatory on earth, full of red-eyed Turkic iron horsemen, everywhere you could hear the people begging for mercy and screaming, and everywhere there were scenes of Turks looting property and sharing spoils."

"At that time, Lao Yu secretly rescued some of the villagers of Sandalwood Town, and hid the supplies in the valley between the post station and Sandalwood Town. If the governor of Wei Da fails to take Danzhou City, we only need to break through Sandalwood Town, lead these people to flee into the valley, and rely on the mountain road to hold on to help! ”

When Cai Liu Xin finished speaking in one breath, Wei Xiaojie arranged for the guards to protect the Cai family, reformulated the battle plan, and sent several cavalry to inform the deputy general Zheng Jun.

During the conversation between Wei Xiaojie and Cai Liuxin, Zheng Jun led a cavalry to quietly grope for the mountains and forests near Danzhou City.

Wei Xiaojie originally planned to let the deputy general Zhu Xu lead more than 100,000 people to slowly go south, creating an illusion. Deflect the scouts of the Turks in Danzhou City, and let the Turks defending the city relax their vigilance and raid Danzhou City.

After two days of fighting, after the enemy left, presumably the Turks in Danzhou City would also enter a state of rest, and this was the best time to attack Danzhou City with a backhand.

An hour later,

The vanguard led by Zhu Xu to the south encountered the Turkic cavalry.

After several tentative attacks, Zhu Xu commanded the cavalry under him to constantly change their formations and encircle and suppress the Turkic cavalry.

After several rounds of fierce killing, it was also a Turkic reconnaissance team of five hundred cavalry. In Zhu Xu's skillful military command, there was a momentum of rout, and he was crushed and beaten by the elite led by Zhu Xu.

Except for a few fish that slipped through the net, they rushed into the pile of refugees and drove the people to flee as a cover, and the remaining more than 400 horsemen became Zhu Xu's first victory, and they were trampled under the feet of the iron horsemen.

"Don't these Turks look at us poor! It's thousands of miles, and we came all the way from the prairie to send us war horses. Brothers, their Turkic fighting power is not strong, but the war horses are not bad, send the captured war horses to Lao Tzu to the general manager, let's drink horse broth tonight! ”

"General Zhu is mighty! We've got horse meat to eat tonight! ”

"The general is mighty, the broth is mighty!"

"Haha! Thousands of miles to send horse meat! ”

Zhu Xu ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, pull all the horses killed in the battle to the rear army as broth, and pack the captured equipment to Wei Xiaojie at the back of the team, so as to appease the people and continue on the road slowly...

On the other side,

Zhao Deyan, who was sitting at the Sandalwood Station, was not calm after getting the letter.

Before Zhou Jie died, he ordered his soldiers to burn all the important documents, but those soldiers had never burned anything, and they threw all the letters in the fire without even thinking about it.

Until the end of the battle at the Sandalwood Station, Zhao Deyan's guards searched carefully, and still found a lot of half-burned letters in the fire and handed them over to Zhao Deyan.

Tuli Khan colluded with Li Yuan to make a private deal?!

"It's impossible to keep these important clues for the end, this must be Li Shimin's conspiracy!"

For the restoration of the Great Sui Empire, the Turkic tribes must not be divided, at least before the collapse of the Li Tang Dynasty, all the Turkic tribes must be united, Zhao Deyan casually threw the letter back into the fire.

"Master Qiqi, the scout is here to report, the general who led two thousand Tang cavalry into the territory of Danzhou a few days ago is the general of Hebei Province, Wei Xiaojie!"

One of the guards had just finished speaking, and a spy came running in from behind.

"Report! Qi Qi National Division, Wei Xiaojie led 100,000 refugees to break through in our current direction, arriving within three hours according to the speed of the Tang cavalry. But now they are escorting refugees, and the march is slow! ”

Wei Xiaojie is a big fish!

I can't figure out how I can catch such a big fish in the trap I set.

Now that the city of Danzhou has been breached, and the Sandalwood Post Station has also been occupied, relying on the thousands of elites of Wei Xiaojie alone, if you don't leave this group of refugees, no matter how noisy you are, you won't be able to escape from your own encirclement.

Zhao Deyan was in a good mood, this time there was a quarrel between Li Ying and Wang Shu in Youzhou, and he led the troops to fight much more smoothly.

The money, land, and food that the Turkic Jieli Khan wanted to plunder in the south were perfectly solved within a month.

"Someone! Ask Yang Gongzi to lead 3,000 knights to bring back to the prairie all the Han people and supplies that have been captured recently. ”

"Order it again, and recall all the tribesmen who are fighting the autumn wind in the surrounding counties. Set up three lines of defense, block Wei Xiaojie for me between Danzhou City and Sandalwood Station, and starve him to death! ”

"If any of the tribal soldiers do not obey the command, greedy for the small profits brought by the autumn wind and let the elite cavalry of Wei Xiaojie escape, they are traitors to the entire Turkic tribe, and the leader of that tribe will also be implicated in the death of Huangquan!"

In the Zhao Deyan Center, money, land, and food are far less important than the elite who eliminated Li Shimin!
