Chapter 98: The Three Uighur Princesses, Liyanazha
Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows, Yang Zhineng directly brought people to the West Sea, which shows that it is indeed urgent.
Ling Bing gasped and said: "Lord Wang, there is an urgent report ahead, and the city will be lost again." ”
Zhao Tan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you occupy the city?" That place must not be lost a few times a year. ”
Jiezhan City is the farthest place to the west of the Longyou Protectorate, connecting the Uighurs of Xizhou on the top, the Eastern Karakhanid at the front, that is, the Black Khan, and the Tibetan tribes on the bottom.
This festival occupies the city, it is too far away from the rear, and frankly speaking, the Great Song Dynasty does not have the ability to take root and protect here, but when the soldiers pointed out, they were invincible, so they simply hit here.
This was not fought when the Xihe River was opened, and the Xihe River was opened to the front line of Qingtang City, and later it was withdrawn.
This land of more than 2,000 miles in a straight line on the right side of Longyou, which is comparable to two-thirds of the land of Western Xia as a whole, was fought in the Battle of Hehuang, and was killed by Tong Guan and Wang Hou all the way!
It is the famous Tong Guan Wang Hou went on the expedition, the Tokyo Imperial City caught fire, the Daojun Emperor ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Tong Guan Tibetan disobeyed the order.
In this battle, the leaders of the Qiuzi, Khotan, and Uighur tribes all surrendered, and the Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Uighurs were all wiped out, and the territory of Xining Prefecture was expanded by more than 2,000 li.
According to this time, if time passes, it is inevitable to pacify Western Xia, but there is no if.
At this point, the largest territory since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty appeared, yes, it appeared in the era of Emperor Daojun, in addition to being obsessed with calligraphy and painting strange stones, indulging in wine and having fun, he also has a heart that is ready to move.
The Black Khan and the Great Song Dynasty were still in harmony, but the Uighurs had wars from time to time, and there were always gains and losses in the city over the years, and the two sides did not care much about it after a long time of repeated see-sawing.
In fact, there are only 1,000 troops stationed in the city of Jiezhan in the Great Song Dynasty, and these thousand soldiers are still miscellaneous soldiers.
Ling Bing held the wax pill at this time: "Lord Wang, the details are on the letter, this time is different from the past." ”
Zhao Ta took the wax pill, took out the secret letter and said, "What's the difference?" ”
Ling Bing said: "The three Uighur princesses of Xizhou, after capturing the city of Jiezhan, went against the norm and came all the way to the east. ”
The Xizhou Uighurs are named after the fact that their territory was originally the Xizhou of the Tang Dynasty, and because their capital was the city of Gaochang, also known as the Uighurs of Gaochang.
Zhao Ta's hand stopped slightly: "What is the third Uighur princess?" ”
Ling Bing said: "Hui Wangye, the third daughter of the Uighur Bilge Khan of Xizhou, named Liyan Nazha. ”
Zhao Tan frowned and said, "Liya...... Naza? ”
Ling Bing said: "It's the prince, the children of Bilge Khan, the third princess Liyan Nazha is the strongest!" ”
Zhao Ta thought about it, and at this time, the Uighurs still left Tang Feng, both men and women led troops, and there were people in their headquarters.
He frowned, opened the letter, read it from beginning to end, and then whipped up: "Go back to Xining Prefecture." ”
At night, Longyou was the protector of the mansion, the butter wax was hanging high, and the hall was bright, Gao Yongsui was shocked, and almost shouted: "The prince wants to personally lead the troops there?" It's not right, it's absolutely inappropriate! ”
Zhao Ta's face was expressionless: "Kochishu, what's wrong?" ”
Gao Yongsui hurriedly said: "Lord, if you lose the city of Zhancheng, you will lose it, and along the way, in addition to the military city, it is a village, where can the three Uighur princesses fight?" And as far as her subordinates know, her headquarters is only 10,000 people, and the cavalry is more than 1,000 at most, and there is no supply, and it will not take much to turn back to the east. ”
Zhao Ta smiled: "That's all? However, when the king looked at the reports of the previous years' battles, the Uighur tribes had all occupied the city after the battle, and they would withdraw after a raid, so how could it be time to continue to go deeper? ”
Gao Yongsui hurriedly said: "Because of this, the prince can't take risks, the prince is a thousand years old, if there is a mistake, his subordinates will be to blame!" ”
Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "You have been in the northwest for a long time, when you have the ambition of the plateau, why do you look forward to the future so much, this king is in charge of the troops in Beijing, if you never see the war, wouldn't it be a joke!" ”
Gao Yongsui's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, although he was born in a general, but it was not easy for him to survive to today's status, half of the reasons were stained with the light of his brother Gao Yongnian, if King Qi had an accident in Longyou, then he would not be good.
And although his Gao family belongs to the northwest, and the in-laws of the folded family, but it is the door of Tong Guan's lineage, when the battle of Longyou, Gao Yongnian was Wang Hou's deputy general, and he had a relationship.
Before Zhao Ta arrived in Xining Prefecture, Tong Guan's letter had already been delivered, and there was no other advice on the letter, only one was to ensure the safety of King Qi.
Gao Yongsui wanted to cry without tears: "Lord Wang, this matter is absolutely inappropriate!" ”
Zhao Ta frowned and looked at him, and said: "Kochizhou, what to do with a sad face, this king has made a decision, tomorrow with the headquarters of the people, Longyou will be equipped with another thousand soldiers, just take this opportunity to inspect Longyou, you can go back." ”
On the second day, Zhao Tacheng ordered troops in front of the city, and the two thousand forbidden troops brought by Tokyo only took cavalry, he looked at these people and said lightly: "Follow this king to chase down the Uighurs, are you afraid?" ”
One thousand cavalry of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, these days have been trained by Xu Ning so that their arms and legs are thicker than when they came, but when they heard that it was a war, they couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts.
Zhao Ta looked at them, sneered and said: "There is a beautiful little lady, graceful, good at singing and dancing, it is said that she is a Uighur princess, only with more than 1,000 people and no supplies, this king wants to bring you and Longyou people, a total of more than 2,000 people, to capture this little lady alive, are you afraid?" ”
After hearing these words, the faces of the forbidden soldiers were different, they looked at each other, elated, and shouted together: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, capture the little lady alive and give it to the second king!" ”
Gao Yongsui on the side couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he saw this scene, this is the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army? Can this also be a war? He hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, is there a little less than a thousand soldiers on the right side of Long?" How about I add another two thousand? ”
Zhao Ta shook his head: "It's not a siege of the city, there are too many people and it is inflexible, and the supplies can't keep up, so do you want this king to bring more baggage?" ”
Gao Yongnian opened his mouth and didn't speak, but his eyes were staring at the wooden boxes on the car, wondering in his heart, he didn't want to bring more baggage, so what were these boxes for?
After some reprimands, Zhao Ta brought Liu Suiyun, Lu Da, Yang Zhi, and Zhe Zhichang four people, and then 1,000 Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, 1,000 Longyou Cavalry, 100 Scarlet Pioneer Regiment, and nearly 500 heavy village soldiers, a total of more than 2,000 people left Qingtang West.
This Qingtang is more than 2,000 miles ahead, there is a military city every 150 miles, the military city has a permanent garrison ranging from 3 to 500, there are no people in the city, and there are 13 military cities in the middle of Xining Prefecture to Jiezhan City.
Zhao Ta walked along the line of the military city, and there were doubts about his own Zhi Zhi often explained to the soldiers, every time he arrived in a military city, he would have to coil for a while, and even stay overnight, and open the wooden box on the car before leaving, but there were people in the military city, and there were silver coins to distribute.
In the meantime, things are done by Liu Suiyun, Liu Suiyun is warm in the spring breeze, which makes people get close at first sight, and distribute the money with their own hands, and then the lotus flower blooms on the tongue.
Such a delay is a few days past, and this day often said: "Lord, here is only more than 300 miles away from Jiezhan City, and please hold A." ”
Zhao Ta had nothing to do, and Liu Suiyun put on light armor, and then asked, "How many military cities are there ahead?" ”
"The only two remaining military cities are the occupations, and if the Uighurs do not withdraw their troops, Chang Zhi will reach here as far as possible." ”
Zhao Ta nodded, the team moved forward, and within a dozen miles, there were Fan soldiers scouting in the dust, and as soon as they got closer, they hurriedly rolled off their horses and bowed down: "Lord Wang, the Uighur enemy soldiers have been found ahead, and they are attacking the military city!" ”
