Chapter 1 Things in the Northeast
The north wind whistles!
The desolate northern land, although rarely visited, also shows the man's ambition.
Elite soldiers gathered in the wasteland, the rushing sound of horse hooves was like war drums, and the mighty soldiers lined up in neat rows.
The black armored cavalry, the red armored infantry, the armored crossbowmen, and the 30,000 troops were lined up in an orderly manner throughout the field!
A mighty fat man held up a scimitar and shouted, "Aowoo!"
In an instant, 50,000 soldiers and horses howled in unison, and their fierce aura stirred up all directions.
The mighty fat man nodded with satisfaction like the leading wolf king, and stopped and shouted.
The howling of the wolf stopped instantly!
The fat man turned around and saw a pair of military affairs surrounding a sickly thin man coming from afar. A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. He ignored his fat body, turned over and dismounted, and ran over to meet him.
When he came to the thin man, the fat man knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed three times hard, and said, "Greetings to the father and commander!"
The thin man was actually Zhang Shougui, the famous northeastern general of the Tang Dynasty who was as famous as Pei Min.
Zhang Shougui smiled and made the fat man speak in unison, and said weakly: "Thank you for my son. If it weren't for my son, I'm afraid he would have to be dismissed from the court."
The fat man said, "Although the child is not born by the father and commander, he is given the name Zhang Kang. In the child's heart, the father and commander are the birth of the father. Your business is the child's business. If you work for your father, it is the child's duty."
Zhang Shougui helped his godson up because of his whim. He couldn't help but sigh that compared to his incompetent sons, this godson is his lucky star, and he is even more kissable than his own son.
"Hurry, help me go over and see my soldiers!"
Zhang Shougui couldn't help feeling excited when he looked at the mighty army.
Walking up to the general platform, Zhang Shougui looked down from high, and the flames of revenge ignited in his heart, and said with his teeth: "With such a powerful soldier, why worry about not being able to avenge a great revenge!"
As he said that, he looked at his adopted son again and sighed again: "In just two years, my son has raised such a powerful military service. My son's ability is not as good as Prince Pei at all."
Zhang Kang didn't say a word, but a trace of fear and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and more than ten generals came out.
Zhang Shougui found that he didn't know any of them, but these dozen people were all with a fierce back and a strong aura on their bodies.
Zhang Kang pointed to the leader and said, "Father, this is General Li Guiren, who is extremely powerful and can be called the number one strong man in our army. It is said that Li Siye, the Northwest, is invincible in divine power, and few people in the world have a dangerous relationship. But the child believes that he has not met General Li Guiren of our army..."
He pointed to another bald general and said, "This is General Ashinagan. Although the father-in-chief is thin and not handsome, his life-despair is a little bit too much on the battlefield. He also has both wisdom and courage, and is particularly flexible in fighting. My future famous general of the Tang Dynasty must have a place. He is also a brother of the child, and he is absolutely reliable and trustworthy."
Zhang Shougui looked at this Asan and fucked him for a few more times. Seeing that he was bald, his nose was not right, and his back was a little hunched, he felt a little displeased. But when he saw his eyes, he felt inexplicably cold. His eyes were like a wolf, and he actually showed it to him.
Zhang Kang next introduced generals such as Cai Xide, Niu Tingjie, Xiang Runke, Cui Qianyou to Zhang Shougui.
Zhang Shougui accidentally discovered that these fierce and fierce generals were almost all from foreign races, few of them were from Han races, and he didn't even know any of them. He couldn't help asking: "Kang'er, why are they all from other races? Where are my original generals?"
Zhang Kang said with a discomfort: "Father Commander, Heishui was defeated in Heishui, and our army lost 8,000 troops. This incident has a great impact. Some generals and officials are very nervous. They disagree with the behavior of the father Commander. The child is helpless and can only use extraordinary means to demote them."
Zhang Shougui's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that Zhang Shougui had been fighting with the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom had poor mountains and was in danger of the west, so it was not suitable to attack.
Zhang Shougui rationally chose the harassment tactic and constantly sent small troops to fight against the Bohai Kingdom.
Zhang Shougui had three purposes: First, to understand the terrain and landform of the Bohai Kingdom through continuous harassment; second, to consume the Bohai Kingdom's national strength and create internal economic crises; third, to disagree, to intensify their internal conflicts, attack both inside and outside, and to annihilate the Bohai Kingdom in one fell swoop.
It is impossible not to admit that Zhang Shougui's tactics are very clever and effective.
But Zhuge Liang said it well, planning depends on people and achieving things depends on heaven.
Many things cannot be done just by thinking about them.
Li Longji was very happy with the achievements and regarded Zhang Shougui's tentative attacks again and again as a great victory.
Every time you hold on, you can get rewards.
Zhang Shougui was already utilitarian, and gradually became obsessed with interests. With the instigation of Zhang Kang and others, his original clever tactics became self-respecting, which also made the war in the Northeast become corrupt.
The Heishui defeat occurred two years ago, and Zhang Shougui personally led 20,000 troops to the east.
Arriving near Heishui, Zhang Shougui and Zhang Kang proposed to divide their troops into two groups and attack a military base in the Bohai Kingdom to obtain military achievements.
Zhang Kang won the victory, but Zhang Shougui was ambushed in the black water, causing more than 8,000 soldiers to be killed and a thousand more were captured. Zhang Shougui was poisoned and was almost dead. It was his confidant Bai Zhenhao who tried his best to rescue him. Later, Zhang Kang arrived in time to save him.
Zhang Shougui was always victorious and could not accept the fact that he was defeated for a while. He lied about military affairs in a delusion and changed his defeat to a great victory. At the same time, he made up his mind to force Bai Zhenhao to death.
Zhang Shougui's mistake in this mistake can never turn back.
Hei Shui was defeated in a crushing defeat, with nearly 10,000 soldiers. It is impossible to hide it completely.
The court also heard some news and sent Niu Xiantong and Liu Fengting to Liaodong to investigate the matter.
Zhang Shougui and Zhang Kang used a generous gift to bribe Niu Xiantong, Liu Fengting and the two eunuchs returned to Chang'an, which also said that Zhang Shougui was indeed a great victory.
This matter will be left alone.
Zhang Shougui's eyes turned red, and Zhang Kang said this pain point, and he felt guilty and dared not speak anymore.
Zhang Kang said: "Don't worry, Father and Commander. These generals and officials are all alien races, who do not know how to be Han people, and are all trustworthy people who are loyal to Father and Commander, and they have no different intentions."
Zhang Shougui convinced him, and thought of Heishui's shame and said sternly: "With this powerful soldier, why don't my son mention the three armies' expeditions in the east and avenge his shame!"
Zhang Kang sighed: "It's not that the child doesn't want to avenge his father. It's really hateful now. Especially after Prince Pei became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he began to interfere more in Liaodong. Now they even ignore the blood feud accumulated over the years and intend to negotiate peace with the Bohai State..."
He was talking about righteous indignation.
