Chapter 270: Feng Xiang
Seeing his younger brother fall into the pit from afar, he screamed heartbreakingly: "On Ercang!!ββ treacherous Han people, I will fight with you! Brothers, follow me!"
He no longer cared about the rain of rockets and fireballs on both sides, let alone the current situation of the army behind him, and rushed over bravely with a group of people. This time he was much wiser, and rushed forward along the side of the big pit.
Xiao Yunhe sneered: "What a fierce murderer who is not afraid of death!"
It's hard to be angry about Mangluo. Only the commander of the Tang Army under the red flag in front of him was left in his eyes. Seeing that he was about to rush in front of him, he was unexpectedly swept by a rain of arrows from both sides. If it weren't for his excellent martial arts skills and instant dodge, he would have almost been shot off his horse. But many of the people he brought behind him screamed from the arrows, and even fell into the pit.
On the recklessness of the furious. raised his broadsword and rushed towards the handful of Tang troops on the side. Unexpectedly, that handful of Tang troops were not afraid of his fierce momentum at all. Instead, he came up. When he saw the general at the head, he couldn't help but be stunned: "God, is this a human or a ghost?!"
Song Liangchen thought that the weather was too hot, so he stripped his upper body, revealing a body of ironclad black muscles. stepped on a big black horse, held up a huge iron rod in his hand, and rushed over with a whoa-wow!
"Fangou is coming to die! Grandpa has been waiting for you here for a long time!" Although there were only one or two thousand people around him, Song Liangchen didn't care about this, and rushed towards the three or five thousand cavalry of Mangluo.
As soon as Song Liangchen came out, the infantry who were also under his command and ambushed on the other side of the big pit also rushed out with a banner and shouting.
Only then did he understand that the reason why the commander of the Tang Army was so fearless was that he had set up a big trap in front of him and made an ambush. The black-faced general in front of him who looked like a demon god...... He fought him for a round, and his hands were so shocked that he almost couldn't lift the knife. He shouted in a hurry: "Retreatβ"
Three or five thousand cavalry, come fiercely, go even more fiercely. Everyone hated that horses had two legs missing, and they ran away. Many people were knocked over and fell off their horses by their own people, and they were either captured alive or fell into the big pit and died.
Song Liangchen hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he just rushed forward with a whoow ghost. led his two or three thousand infantry and swordsmen to kill the Tibetan army like a whirlwind and clouds.
Xiao Yunhe is like a bystander in a game of chess, calm as ever. At this time, he raised his hand lightly: "Order, wave the white flag, beat the drum." β
The five hundred flying dragon flags pressed the red flag and raised the white flag, and the general's drum shook and sounded. The Tang troops, who were lying in ambush on both sides, stopped shooting arrows and rushed down with a tsunami-like roar. The Tibetans were struggling to flee for their lives in the sea of fire, and at this time they were attacked from both sides, and they were simply helpless and fell into even greater chaos.
He didn't know how to escape from the vicinity of the big pit, but he found that the Tang army had launched a big sniper. He didn't know how many men and horses the other party had ambushed, and he couldn't reverse the battle in front of him no matter what. The 30,000 army was all swallowed up in the hinterland by the sea of artillery, and now it was slaughtered by the Tang army......
"Quickly withdraw !!" said that Mangluo didn't care if he was going to go back or not to be hung with a fox on his face, so he slapped his horse and fled. Suddenly, there were many stumbling ropes in the mountains and forests, and the Tubo people who fled back in a hurry trampled on their horses, so that they were not wolves.
Tang Hanchen and Shi Yanfen, who were ambushed on both sides, each led more than 5,000 infantry, each carrying a light horizontal knife, and began a battle like picking up dead fish. Between the mountains and forests, the Tibetan iron horsemen, who had strong conflicts, could not stretch their hands and feet, the advantage of mobility was gone, and the horses became a burden.
The fire attack and the tripping horse rope combined with the slaughter of the army surrounded on three sides, the Tibetan army suffered five or six out of ten. Finally, some people escaped from the mountains and forests, but they faced the turbulent Qixing River.
There are not many other things in Tibet, rich in landlubbers, few people can swim, and they instinctively panic in the face of the big river. On Manluo rushed to the river for a big gasp, only to find that the army that had finally come out of the assault was actually blocked by the river again. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Lead the horse to cross the river!"
Some of the soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, so they dismounted in fear, led the horses and began to cross the river. But within a few paces, the water was waist-deep. The horses screamed in panic and were swept away with the people by the rushing current.
On Mangluo's desperate shouting: "Find a way along the river, go to a shallow place!"
The remaining nearly 10,000 cavalry rushed in the direction of the Qixing River.
Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry, and ordered Song Liangchen and the others to just clean up the battlefield and collect prisoners and horses.
A big battle has been fought so far, and Wu Yuanheng has completely obeyed the King of Han. He clearly knew that even if a group of Tubo people escaped from the encirclement, there would be no good results. The King of Han had already made arrangements for Chu Yan, who lured the enemy. As soon as he lured the enemy into the encirclement, he detoured the avenue and came to the lower reaches of the Qixing River to ambush the enemy, and waited for the rest to clean up the remnants of the enemy army. There are 100 hard crossbows and more than 10 large and small horse traps. When the Tibetans got there, would they still have a chance to live? At the same time, Gao Gu, who was intercepting the flow upstream, would also ride down the river on the wooden rafts that had been prepared long ago, picking up the half-dead remnants of the Tibetan soldiers on the river.
This winning battle, for him King Han, was as easy as flicking his sleeves, and it was almost effortless.
The remnants of the Tibetan army were like a nest of hornets, fleeing down the turbulent Qixing River. Their general, Tan Mangluo, looked back from time to time, and found that the Tang army did not chase after him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But since this day, he has suffered defeats in a row, and now he is afraid that a team of ambush soldiers will come from somewhere. He instinctively trembled a little, like a frightened bird.
I finally found a shallow water on the side of the pebble beach downstream, where the current is not urgent. Let people test it once, and sure enough, they can cross the river. He suddenly let out a long breath and ordered, "Hurry across the river!"
Chu Yan, who was ambushed on the north bank of the shoal, was not in a hurry, because the king of Han had told him to wait until half of the Tubo people had crossed the river before starting the attack. It is exactly what the art of war says that the soldiers will attack in the middle of the crossing.
The Tibetan cavalry crossed the river in a panic, and the people shouted and the horses neighed. After drilling in the fire for a long time and then running frantically for their lives, the men and horses were so thirsty that they couldn't do it. At this time, many people huddled together and drank water by the river.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Yan shouted: "Open the crossbow!"
Suddenly, a hundred crossbows were fired in unison. In the jungle not far from the north bank of the river, crossbow arrows more than one person long attacked the Tubo people like flying locusts. On Mangluo was shocked and fled in a hurry, not caring about the order. The Tibetan soldiers and horses were already a little disorganized, and now they are becoming more and more chaotic. The men and horses were all jumping around in the knee-deep water, and a number of them were knocked over by the big crossbow arrows, and many were trampled by their own people. The Seven Star River was suddenly filled with blood, and it turned into a river of red water.
Ran Mang Luo desperately went ashore and fled with a group of remnants of the army towards a place far from the jungle on the north bank of the river. Chu Yan was not in a hurry, let alone chasing, and after releasing the crossbow arrows, he asked the sergeants to beat the drums. The earth-shattering sound of drums and shouts, the Tubo people did not know how many soldiers and horses were ambushed in the woods, and they did not dare to come to meet the battle, but only fled in the opposite direction. Running out of less than two or three miles, more than a dozen traps collapsed for a while. He also caused many Tibetan soldiers and horses to die.
Chu Yan stood in the woods, couldn't help laughing, and said to the soldiers around him: "This battle is like hunting. On weekdays, the fierce and domineering Tubo barbarians have become the prey of the head of the mouse. But wherever they run, they will fall into the trap. Our Han King and Wu Changshi are really clever and clever in using soldiers like gods!"
A group of Tang soldiers around him laughed. The drums are beating more and more desperately. Because they found that the more the drum was beating, the faster the Tibetans would flee and the easier it would be to fall into the horse pit.
Drumming can also kill enemies, it's so exciting and enjoyable!
On Mangluo's luck is not bad, he actually didn't fall into resistance. After seeing many brothers fall into a trap and die tragically. He was so ruthless that he abandoned his horse and fled for his life. Many Tibetan warriors followed suit, and a group of cavalry suddenly turned into deserted and fled infantry, fleeing around the trail towards the Qishan military village.
Chu Yan intercepted and killed in this round, and there were only nearly 10,000 remnants of the Tibetan army left. Less than half of it remains. The corpses in the river were piled up so that they almost cut off the river. In the trap of the horse, there was even more death, and the death was extremely miserable.
Chu Yan didn't bother to chase after the escaped Lun Mangluo. Clean up the battlefield with people. Looking at the terrifying Tubo people, he felt a burst of hatred, and cursed hatefully: "Good death, damn it!" Another burst of rejoicing. The more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Tang Army under his command couldn't stop cheering loudly, just like a festival. After this battle, they were like acting and hunting. After enough fun, they won a big battle, and they couldn't help but be unhappy.
On Mangluo was as dazed as a lost dog, he had just been burned by the fire for a while, his clothes and hair were all black and gray, and now his body was soaked. It's just wolf bèi to the extreme. finally escaped to the front of the Tubo military village in Qishan, and saw that the military village was safe and sound. I finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, the remnants of four or five thousand Tibetan soldiers slowly climbed up towards the Qishan military village with strength and weakness.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gate of the military village, a cannon suddenly rang out, and then he heard the sound of drums that shook the sky. The gate of the military village was opened, and the bright banners of the Tang Army flashed out. One of them, a general with a white horse and a silver robe, rode out with a gun, condescendingly pointed a gun at Lu Manluo and the others, and shouted: "I am Li Sheng, the envoy of the Great Qi Jingyuan Festival! The Qishan military village has been captured by me, and you will not kneel down and ask for surrender, but when?"
On Mangluo suddenly despaired, and a group of Tubo soldiers around him were even screamed in shock, and many of them sat on the ground limply.
On Mangluo looked at Li Sheng arrogantly, gritted his teeth and bones, and roared loudly: "Brothers, if you fight, you will die, and if you don't fight, you will die." Left and right are dead, it's better to fight with them!"
Li Sheng snorted and slashed the iron spear into the air: "If you want to die, come forward!"
On Mangluo shouted, waved the big knife in his hand and slashed at Li Sheng. Li Sheng rode on a horse, and with a spear in his hand, he slashed the domineering knife that Mangluo slashed. On the fact that Mangluo has no horses, he is not used to it. was a little out of focus by Li Sheng like this, and he flashed to the side a little staggeringly. Li Sheng swiped the gun with one hand and danced a spin flower, and then poked it with the handle of the gun, and hit it directly on the head of the mangluo. The blow made him burst into the face and fall to the ground.
Li Sheng laughed: "With such a martial art, you dare to be a general in front of the battle? It's really embarrassing that people ββ come and tie up!" He secretly exclaimed in his heart: The pharmacist marksmanship given by King Han has been practiced for less than a year, and the martial arts have really improved a little. This trick has been seen by the King of Han in the past, and now he is in battle and has made it again, and it is really easy to use!
Only one of the soldiers of the Tang Army stepped forward, tied up the Lun Mangluo like an animal, and dragged it back. Most of the rest of the Tibetan soldiers were already exhausted and frightened, and they had no intention of fighting at this time. They abandoned their weapons one after another, and obediently knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.
Li Sheng ordered someone to take in the prisoners, reorganize the military village, and send someone to deliver news to the king of Han.
On the south bank of the Qixing River, the battlefield is almost cleaned. Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng rode slowly on horseback, walking on the battlefield. After this battle, the 20,000 Tang army defeated the 30,000 elite cavalry of Tubo very easily, and Xiao Yunhe was very satisfied. The corpses piled up on the battlefield and smelled of burning, but unfortunately, many horses were also burned to death. After counting, only more than 5,000 intact war horses were captured on the battlefield on his side. However, Chu Yan brought good news, and the Tubo people on the river beach abandoned their horses and fled. The white wolf with empty gloves picked up more than 6,000 horses. In total, more than 10,000 horses were captured, which is a very huge harvest.
Xiao Yunhe's mood suddenly improved. Now that Daqi has lost the Longyou Prison and the Hexi Prison Horse Farm, the horses can only be purchased from Hui at a high price. The price of a good horse that can go to war has been sold for more than 150 at its most expensive. Ten thousand war horses are worth at least a million yuan! Moreover, even if you have money, sometimes you may not be able to buy them.
Xiao Yunhe secretly pondered in his heart: This batch of good things. It's better to keep a batch for yourself......
After the battlefield was completely cleaned, Song Liangchen came and went in the fire, making him look like a Lei Gong Yasha, jumping left and right and shouting. He led a group of infantry from his headquarters and gathered all the corpses of the Tibetans. It was sealed with mud and made into the shape of a city wall, and a Beijing temple was actually built.
The so-called Jingguan is a high mound made of soil in order to show off martial arts, gather enemy corpses, and seal the soil.
Along the Seven Star River. The Jingguan city wall is more than a mile long, and it is a little shocking. Song Liangchen ran to Xiao Yunhe and laughed, "My lord." I've been with you for so long, and I have fought the most hateful battle in this battle! I killed the dog who bullied our Han people, and it was so easy and fun! Hahaha! It's so enjoyable!"
Xiao Yunhe smiled cohesively, but he was a little unhappy. Looking at the more than a mile long Jingguan, he secretly sighed in his heart: One will be a success...... Even if it is Yidi, he is also a citizen of the world. Han Yi, can't we really live in peace? And today I will kill him and build a temple, and tomorrow he will kill me. I want to take revenge again. After all, war is not an end, but only a means...... I don't want to do that. I'm not a khan now, and I'll talk about it when I can think about these things.
Wu Yuanheng saw that King Han's face changed slightly. Ignoring some of his thoughts in his heart, he sighed lightly: "Those who know soldiers are not warlike...... War. Win or lose, it's not a good thing after all. King Han, the death of so many Tibetan people, the blame is not actually on you. Rather, it is to provoke wars. β
"I know. Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Do you think I'm feeling sorry for myself? If there is another battle, I will continue to kill without mercy. I'm just thinking that only a war that can be exchanged for peace is a meaningful war. Today, we killed tens of thousands of enemies in order to recover Fengxiang Mansion, but tomorrow Tubo may raise another army to fight to the death. If you continue to fight like this, it's not a big one. β
Wu Yuanheng smiled: "Then the adults should hurry up and create a hegemony and climb to the top." There is no other way. β
Xiao Yunhe smiled and stopped answering.
Soon after, Jingyuan Li Sheng, who cooperated with the battle, sent someone to deliver a battle report. said: The Jingyuan army took advantage of the emptiness of the camp in Qishan in Tubo, and quickly took the camp in a hurry. The Tibetan prime minister Shang Jiezan did not put up much resistance and fled in a hurry. Xiao Yunhe immediately made a quick order: order Li Sheng's headquarters to attack Fengxiang with light horses and fast horses, and be sure to take advantage of the defeat of the remnants of Tubo to retreat to Fengxiang Mansion and gain an unstable foothold, and capture Fengxiang with one foot!
Before the military order arrived, Li Sheng had already personally led 20,000 light horsemen from his headquarters and set off for Fengxiang Mansion early. More than 10,000 people were left to guard the Qishan camp.
When Xiao Yunhe arrived at the Qishan camp, he found that it had already been properly organized, the flags had been replaced, the camp had been reorganized, the prisoners were all well guarded, and the horses were properly managed.
Li Sheng also deliberately left a deputy general to ask the King of Han for guilt. Because Li Sheng did not get the military order, he attacked Fengxiang first. Xiao Yunhe did not blame Li Sheng, but praised Li Sheng in public, which is a rare talent. The key to victory on the battlefield is to take countermeasures in the light of local conditions, and to attack the enemy flexibly and changeably! If he had to wait for the arrival of the Han King's military order before setting out, the remnants of the Tubo troops stationed in Wuzhangyuan would have been stationed in Fengxiang Mansion one step earlier and would have been ready for battle. Fighters are rare, Li Sheng took one step ahead to kill Ben Fengxiang Mansion, instead of attacking Wuzhangyuan, his thinking is very correct. In Xiao Yunhe's previous letter to him, he mentioned this: as long as the Qishan camp is captured and the Fengxiang Mansion can be obtained, the Tubo people in Wuzhangyuan are like lost dogs, and there is nothing to be afraid of!
Xiao Yunhe didn't dare to hold it up, so he straightened out the soldiers and horses, and personally led Song Liangchen, Gao Gu and 10,000 light horsemen to Fengxiang Mansion to help in the battle. Let Chu Yan, Tang Hanchen and others sit in Qishan and Weishui camps to guard the prisoners' military supplies.
By the time Xiao Yunhe led the army to Fengxiang Mansion, Li Sheng was like a bolt of lightning, and he had already entered Fengxiang Mansion with a razor. The banner of the Tang army fluttered high above the city, and the soldiers of the Tang army sounded the horn and beat the war drums to welcome the king of Han to enter Fengxiang Mansion. The remaining Tubo people and horses have fled from Fengxiang in a hurry and fled to Longshan.
There are more than 300,000 Daqi people under the rule of Fengxiang Mansion. The Tubo people clearly knew that as long as the Tang army attacked, those ordinary people who usually seemed weak to the Great Qi people could also rebel at any time and help the Tang army. As a result, although the Tibetan army was still superior in numbers, it had to make the decision to abandon the city and flee.
Xiao Yunhe rode to the gate of Fengxiang City, and he had to be a little stunned: This Li Sheng, the action is a little too fast, right?
At this time, Li Sheng personally came out with a team of cavalry to greet him. The generals dismounted and bowed down to greet the generalissimo of the Han king.
Xiao Yunhe asked everyone to excuse themselves and let Li Sheng ride his horse to his side, and at the same time walked towards the city, and asked him: "Liangqi, how did you come to fight this battle? Fengxiang Mansion is one of the most important and strongest military fortresses in my Great Qi. How did you take it so quickly?"
Li Sheng said with a smile: "The Tubo people have just arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, and almost half of them have not yet entered the city, and the Jingyuan army under the command of the last general rushed over and killed them. The Tibetan army was in chaos for a while, and it was too late to close the city gates. So they simply opened the north gate, ran through the city themselves, and fled in a hurry. The last general did not chase after him, straightened out the city affairs, and waited for the Han king to come. β
Xiao Yunhe laughed: "When facing the enemy, the soldiers are fast." Liangqi, you are really my rare handsome!"
Fengxiang battle, its results can be described as brilliant. The main army of 20,000 under the command of the king of Han actually killed more than 20,000 people and captured thousands of the Tubo army with a loss of less than 1,000 people (including the wounded). Although Li Sheng, who cooperated with the battle, did not kill many enemies, he completed the two most important steps of the battle: the capture of Qishan and the recovery of Fengxiang. The seemingly powerful army of tens of thousands of Tibetans collapsed in an instant, and the wolf bèi fled from the territory of Fengxiang Mansion.
Han Wang, Li Sheng, and Chu Yan, this group of old friends on the battlefield, finally met together again. The three of them happily gathered together and started a celebration feast. The people of Fengxiang Mansion sang and danced to celebrate the victory. For a time, the alleys were empty, and it was very lively.
After nightfall, all the qiΔ fell silent. The city defense of Fengxiang Mansion was replaced by the banner of Daqi, and the men and horses of each department patrolled the post and imposed martial law, according to the step-by-step.
Xiao Yunhe walked to the top of the city and looked northwest. In the vast night under the stars and moon, you can only vaguely see the mountains in the distance and the endless yellow earth.
But in this direction, it is the Longyou of Daqi and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Hexi, which have fallen into the hands of the Tubo people. Once upon a time, this was the best horse farm and the most prosperous trade road in Daqi. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but think of Hou Junji, who made him love and hate. It was this battlefield veteran who traveled thousands of miles to attack Gaochang in the Gobi, and since then Daqi has established its hegemony in the Western Regions. But now, these feats have come to naught because of their unfilial descendants. The loss of Longyou and Hexi made Great Qi completely lose its ability to rule the Western Regions. Not to mention the loss of the horse farm and the supply of various countries, even the business travel on the Silk Road has been extinct since then. For Daqi, this is a loss of fundamental interests.
In the prosperous era, all the kingdoms were subdued by all the nations, but now, their own territories have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Li Sheng behind him glanced at him with a little surprise and said, "My lord." Fengxiang's victory, he should be happy, why ......"
Xiao Yunhe smiled bitterly: "But I'm not happy." Longyou and Hexi, these were originally the territories of my Great Qi, but now they have fallen into the hands of the Tubo people. Although we have recovered Fengxiang, we can stop here. It's time to act as a watchdog to rest on your laurels. To tell the truth, I really want to lead this army of tigers and wolves to advance and recover the lost territories in Hexi and Longyou. But I know in my heart that this is just a dream. Not to mention that 20,000 or 30,000 horses can't make a big deal. After going deep behind enemy lines, even supply is a big problem. Staying in the city, we can still guarantee that we will have something to eat, but when we are attacking, with our current national strength, we will not be able to guarantee supplies at all. β
Li Sheng said approvingly: "My lord is reasonable. The last general didn't want to fight hard and sweep Longyou and Hexi. Restore my great rivers and mountains. It's a pity, I really can only think about it now. Truth be told, although we won this partial battle this time. But the current military strength of Tibet is much stronger than that of our Great Qi. Since the Anshi Rebellion, our Great Qi has plummeted and gradually declined, but Tubo is entrenched in the plateau and develops with peace of mind, and its strength is no longer comparable to the past. The last general stayed in the area of Longyou for a long time, and he joined the army here when he was young. In the past few decades, I have almost watched Tubo grow stronger day by day, and my Daqi has declined day by day. Tubo Zampu Trisong Dezan. is indeed an immortal hero. β
Xiao Yunhe raised the corners of his mouth and sneered softly.
Li Sheng looked at his face and said: "Adults and young heroes, the earth is not inferior to him Chisong Dezan." I have the king of Han in Daqi, and I am not afraid of him from now on. β
Xiao Yunhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am a powerless prince." What can you do? Before the imperial court issued another decree. Let's allocate our soldiers and horses and guard Fengxiang and Jingyuan. Liangqi, you can straighten out the soldiers and horses tomorrow and go back to Jingyuan. There can be no loss over there. In addition, I handed a letter to Shuofang Li Huaiguang, firstly to express my condolences, and secondly, to advise him to stay in Lingzhou. Lingzhou has always been an important breakthrough for Tibet. Feng Xiang is lost, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not jump over the wall to attack Lingzhou. β
Li Sheng arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, let the last general do these trivial things." Li Huaiguang is a veteran of the battlefield, although he is a little reckless, but he has always been cautious in his use of soldiers. Shuo Fang has him, and he should be able to ensure that he is safe. It's just an adult...... Isn't it just that I'm bound to the land of Fengxiang from now on?"
Xiao Yunhe was slightly startled, and said, "Then according to the meaning of the good weapon, where should I go?
Li Sheng smiled slightly: "Have you ever remembered what the three of us said when we said goodbye to the adults in the past? Now that Tubo has defeated Fengxiang, it is bound to attack the area of Jiannan Road. Before I took advantage of the control of Jiannan Dao, I desperately plundered the benefits. At this time, isn't it precisely because there is a shortage of people in the frontier? The area around Jiannan is rich and safe, and it has always been accustomed to defending against the enemy with natural dangers. To tell the truth, although there are many soldiers and horses there, their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of our soldiers and horses in the northwest. Moreover, Shuzhong has always lacked famous commanders and good generals to kill the enemy, which makes Tubo always think about the land of the two rivers in the south of my Great Qi Jiannan. If you ask the emperor for an order and lead your army to Jiannan......"
Xiao Yunhe's eyes lit up and looked at Li Sheng: "How?"
Li Sheng smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty must answer." β
Xiao Yunhe glanced at him tacitly and said, "Will it be so smooth? At present, there are no vacancies in the many military towns in Jiannan Province. β
"Yes. Contrary to Xiao Yunhe's expectations, Li Sheng said this word with great certainty.
Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised and said, "Where?" Li Sheng smiled and said, "Do you recognize Wei Gao and Wei Chengwu?"
Xiao Yunhe shook his head suspiciously.
Li Sheng said: "This person was once the judge of Yingtian under Zhang Yi, the former envoy of Fengxiang Festival. After the change of Jingshi, he was awarded the post of assassin of Longzhou. He also raised troops to go to Fengtian Jingjing. At that time, when the last general and the adults were fighting against the stubborn enemy in Mukden, he was quelling the rebellion in the Jingyuan area, so he made a great contribution. This man was an old friend of the last general, and I had seen him a few days ago, and he told me that the emperor was going to confer on him the post of envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival. β
Xiao Yunhe said in surprise: "So, there will be a vacancy in the Jiannan Xichuan Festival?"
"Exactly. Li Sheng laughed. said, "It's not that Li Sheng betrayed his friends to seek glory, but he is really an adult, and he is more suitable for this position than he Wei Gao." The last general did not know why there was a vacancy for the post of knot. It's just that...... Since there is a vacancy, adults are just right. Time is running out, adults must hurry. β
Xiao Yunhe nodded in surprise. said: "What do you think of Wei Gao?"
Li Sheng said: "This person is forty years old. Just in the prime of life. The rhetoric is gorgeous for a while, and it is also quite famous. There are rumors in Shu that he is the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou. On the day of his birth, there was an uninvited celebration by a strange-looking monk. Fan Seng said to Wei Gao, who was still a baby at the time, don't be harmed for a long time?, Wei Gao, who had just been full moon, actually laughed loudly. The monk then said. This person is the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou, who wants to guard Shuzhong for 20 years and ensure the peace of Shu. Wei was surprised, so he gave Wei Gao the name Wuhou, which was later changed to Chengwu. Now. Sure enough, it was verified what Hu Seng said that day. The imperial court is really going to appoint Wei Gao as the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival. β
Xiao Yunhe laughed, and thought to himself: Where can there be such a mysterious thing, it's just that he Wei Gao created his own momentum. Even if he is the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou. This time, you have to make way for me Xiao Yunhe. However, since Li Sheng said that he has some talent, he might as well collect it and listen to it. Chengdu Mansion is the most important place for Xichuan Jiedu, so I wronged him to relegate himself to the position of Yin of the Mansion...... However, this can only be an idea for the time being. On the emperor's side, it's hard to say whether he promised me to go to Xichuan or not.
After a while, it will be late. Xiao Yunhe and Li Sheng chatted and left. Prepare to go back to your room to rest. The temporary residence of the two was relatively close, and when they passed by the gate of Li Shengyuan, Xiao Yunhe heard a burst of soft cheers from the courtyard, as if someone was practicing martial arts. Xiao Yunhe approached with some curiosity and looked at it, under the moonlight. A teenager is practicing marksmanship. Look at that move, it is still Pharmacist Li's marksmanship.
didn't wait for Xiao Yunhe to ask. Li Sheng said: "Dog Li, he loves to practice martial arts. Ever since the last general taught him the art of the medicine man's marksmanship, he has been practicing day and night. This time, he also went to Fengxiang Mansion with the last general and went to battle. "Oh, is that what you told me before, your second son?" Xiao Yunhe walked into Li Sheng's courtyard with a sense of novelty. I saw that under the starlight, a shirtless young man danced a spear in his hand like a silver dragon out to sea, majestic in all directions. Looking at him like that, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but a gun made it extremely hot.
Xiao Yunhe looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "Good marksmanship!"
In the courtyard, he was concentrating on dancing with a gun, and only then did he come back to his senses and hurriedly came over to see his father. Li Sheng hurriedly said: "Son, don't hurry up and give a gift to King Han!"
Li was stunned, looked at the young King Han in front of him, and was a little overwhelmed, and said in amazement: "Father, King Han...... How can you be so young?"
Xiao Yunhe laughed: "Second son, don't you think that this king is a dying old man?"
"Li doesn't dare!" Li bent down and bowed respectfully, "Meet the Han King!"
Xiao Yunhe looked at this young man, although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was born with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, tall and mighty. The awe-inspiring body is like a cast of iron. Under the stars and moon, he gradually sweated profusely, and his whole body erupted with vitality. And he looks quite handsome, with Li Shengdi's shadow everywhere. raised his fingers, and was extremely humble and low-key, without the rashness of young people and the arrogance of the children of official eunuchs.
Xiao Yunhe nodded frequently and praised: "It's really a tiger father without a dog! Good weapon, this king can see that Ling Lang Tian is diligent and diligent, and he is a rare talent, you must be carefully trained." β
Li arched his hand and said, "My lord is too ridiculous. The qualifications of the younger generation are blunt, and they are afraid of losing their father's reputation. Although he practiced day and night, it was always difficult to reach the realm of his father. β
"Haha, you're quite modest!" Xiao Yunhe laughed, "At what age are you thinking of surpassing your father?" Second son, you work hard." Maybe one day, this king will ask you for help. β
Li Shaocheng bowed his hand: "If it is driven by the King of Han, I will never give up!"
Li Sheng touched his long beard with satisfaction, and also laughed: "That's it, you go, put on your clothes and don't catch a cold." Li gave a salute and retreated.
Xiao Yunhe looked at Li's back, secretly satisfied, and said, "Liangqi, I have heard that your family education is extremely strict. Several sons in the family are famous. This is very good, is filial piety first? β
Li Sheng smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment." Over the years, the last general has been fighting outside all year round, and in fact, he rarely has time to train a few dogs in person. It's just that the second son, Li, has been with me for a relatively longer time. This time, I brought him out of the battle, and I also wanted him to practice the shirt as soon as possible.
Xiao Yunhe suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I have something I want to ask you for help." Li Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Excellency tells you that." β
Xiao Yunhe said: "A few days ago, I went to Huayuan and took in a ten-year-old apprentice named Fang Ci. This person is actually a descendant of Zhenguan Mingfang Xuanling. Now that both parents are dead, it is very pitiful. Although this kid has average talent, he is ambitious and willing to endure hardships, and in just half a year, he has actually practiced martial arts well. This king wants him to worship under your door and let you teach him martial arts. β
"Fang Xuanling's descendants?" Li Sheng was slightly surprised, and then said briskly, "Since it is recommended by an adult, how can the last general not accept it?" The dog practiced martial arts day and night, and often complained that no one practiced with him. If Fang Ci comes, isn't he just an opponent?"
Xiao Yunhe laughed: "Then it's decided! Good weapon, let's talk ugly things ahead-you have to teach you all your kung fu, don't hide it!"
Li Sheng also laughed out loud: "My lord is willing to give away a room like the "Medicine Master's Codex", what is there to hide from this little trick at the end? β
That night, Xiao Yunhe did not dare to delay, and worked hard to write a battle report and a request to go to Jiannan. In this battle, more than 20,000 Tibetan troops were killed, thousands were captured, and Fengxiang was recovered. When the news spreads, it should alarm the government and the opposition. With the emperor's old man's temperament, he should also be more jealous of King Han's exploits and abilities. Now that the King of Han himself has offered to go to Jiannan, where will the old man have any reason not to agree? It's just that in this way, he will be a little wronged Wei Gao. In this regard, Xiao Yunhe didn't bother to think so much. In order to realize your own plans, you don't have to scruple about this little thing.
In the text, Xiao Yunhe deliberately underreported the number of horses collected by 10,000. Originally, in this battle, the Han king's side and Li Sheng's side collected a total of nearly 20,000 horses. Previously, under the command of Chu Yan of Fengxiang Mansion, he had lost nearly 10,000 horses, but this time he not only compensated for it, but also made a net profit of more than 10,000. These 10,000 good horses, Xiao Yunhe naturally swallowed them unceremoniously. To put it mildly, at this time, horses are worth more than people. Especially, if you really go to Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu, in that place, horses are extremely hard to find. Shu has never had excellent cavalry, so it is difficult to compete with the plateau iron cavalry of Tibet. Now, if he can bring 10,000 good horses from Fengxiang, he will hopefully change this pattern.
Before this, Xiao Yunhe deliberately hid the 10,000 good horses he had collected in the depths of the dense forest between the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains and Weishui. asked Chu Yan to bring people to guard it, but he didn't bring it to Fengxiang Mansion. In this regard, Li Sheng also tacitly agreed not to mention it.
After the text was written, Xiao Yunhe handed it over to the close attendant, and asked him to speed up the starry night and express the national capital for 600 miles. At most, in one day and one night, the emperor will receive a great victory.
All we have to do now is sit back and wait for the decree.
