Chapter 25 Punishment and Reward
Under such arrangements, a dramatic scene appeared in the Western Regions.
Arab soldiers surrounded Tuozhecheng and controlled the kings of the Western Regions, while Pei Min of the Tang Dynasty swept over the No. 2 and No. 3 people, as well as all soldiers of the Western Regions.
It is normal for this big country to coerce small countries.
To this extent, this has only happened in this way.
Under powerful power, weak countries have no power to resist.
However, because of Pei Min's actions, the number of troops available in his hands suddenly increased by more than 60,000: 20,000 Geluo cavalry, plus 40,000 Western Regions soldiers...
He originally controlled the four towns of troops, including 150,000 in Hexi, Longyou, 50,000 in Anxi, and Beiting, but Qinghai Lake, Hexi, and Longyou also needed to leave troops to guard, and it was impossible to bring them all.
Therefore, in this battle, he had 120,000 Hexi, Longyou Army, plus 15,000 Anxi Army, and 20,000 Beiting Army...
After careful calculation, Pei Min can dispatch as many as 210,000 military horses...
To this day, Pei Min has experienced many battles, but commanding such a large army is the first time he has ever been to command.
What is the concept of 210,000 soldiers?
If these soldiers were arranged into a square array, it would take more than ten miles of radius; if they were arranged in a marching queue, the queues could be arranged from the longest to Luoyang...
The food, drinking, defecation, and sleeping of 210,000 soldiers are all serious problems.
Fortunately, Pei Min has rich experience in receiving the order and has sufficient military knowledge. He has no discomfort and is able to dispatch it with ease.
The vast army passed through Thunderbolt City and arrived in Talas.
The core point of the confrontation between the Tang Empire and the Arab Empire in history is now completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
After Pei Min and Gao Xianzhi met, they asked about Arab trends.
Gao Xianzhi is also a famous general of a generation. Although Pei Min's order was not issued, he had already made sufficient preparations and responded without hesitation. He said, "There was no abnormal movement, but he was just constantly increasing his troops. According to the news from the front line, Arabs had gathered 180,000 soldiers. There were still 20,000 on their way, which was the past few days."
"Two hundred thousand, not much! But we have more than ten thousand more than them..."
Pei Min said with a smile, and then said with a righteous expression: "Let's go, bring your troops and we will meet the lion together. You lead the Beiting Army as the front, and first go to Cheng Qianli, Li Guangbi to join us."
The battle was urgent, so he did not intend to stop in Talas, but led the army straight to the front line.
Gao Xianzhi did not say anything, but took the order and went.
Under Li Guangbi's bluff, Abdullah gave up the siege of Cheng Qianli and retreated to Tuozhe City.
Although Cheng Qianli and the besieged Anxi Army suffered heavy losses, they were also preserved.
Cheng Qianli's failure this time was because Alayda pretended to be the king of Bahanna.
As soon as Abdullah retreated, Cheng Qianli immediately changed his tactical style, fired a backlash, and directly attacked Alaya.
With the cooperation and help of Li Guangbi, Cheng Qianli lost first and then won. Not only did he defeat Alada's rebels and took his head, but he also attacked Juesai City with Juesai City as his camp stronghold and peeked at Tuozhe City thirty miles away.
Three days later, Pei Min led a large army to Thundersai City.
He personally investigated the surrounding terrain and arranged the army's defense.
The army of 210,000 was divided into more than 30 camps, scattered throughout the Western Regions.
As soon as the camp was arranged, Pei Min ordered the generals to enter the account to discuss military affairs.
Soon, forty or fifty generals with bright armor were divided into four rows on the left and right sides, and sat upright on the square cut mat.
Although they are tall, short, fat and thin, they are different, without exception. The killing aura on their bodies shows that all the generals who can have a place in this military tent are all tigers and wolves who have experienced many battles and have been through the battlefield for a long time.
These people were all highly determined and full of fierce spirit, but they were silent, making the tent appear to be a stern and stern atmosphere.
Pei Min sat behind the wide desk, with one hand on his cheek and said nothing.
He didn't speak, and none of the many military generals in the hall dared to speak.
The atmosphere was solemn.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the guards outside the house came to report that Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao had arrived.
The tent door was opened, and the two walked in one after another.
Li Guangbi was a Khitan, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and wide mouth, and a square face with a national character. He was not as handsome as he looked handsome, but he looked quite windy and frosty. He was extremely powerful when he looked around.
Especially after leading the troops, he was only in his early twenties, but he had the gale of a general.
A general next to him is of medium size and slightly fat. Compared to Li Guangbi's rigidity, he looks more flexible.
"Have you met Shuai Pei!"
Seeing them coming in, Pei Min sat upright and said coldly: "Li Guangbi, do you know your guilt?"
Li Guangbi had no expression on his face. At this time, he heard Pei Min's questioning and lowered his head and said, "I will know that I am guilty of leaving the military camp without any reason, and I dare not deny it."
Pei Min was furious and said, "I have different opinions from my superiors. I have led the crowd out of the camp without authorization. I am very domineering! If everyone is like you, how can I bring this soldier?" He became more and more angry and said loudly: "Come here, take down the two of them, each of them will be responsible for thirty military sticks! In addition, Li Guangbi did not obey the military orders and dismissed the position of general, and all his past achievements were eliminated."
In the silence, the two generals were pressed down to the hall and were punished, and only the sound of "punching" and "punching" was heard.
The military tent hit Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao's backs heavily.
The two of them didn't say a word, but the smell of blood gradually spread in the tent.
Thirty military staff fell down the last staff with the executioner.
Pei Min waved her hand and said, "Help it up."
With a thirty army, the man with iron can't get out of the ground without ten days or half a month.
Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao were almost holding them to stand.
Pei Min looked at the two generals and suddenly burst into laughter again: "The sand dune attacked at night. The two generals defeated five thousand soldiers in one fell swoop and seized the enemy's food and grass. Outside the city of Cheng Sai, they forced the enemy general Abdullah to retreat and assist General Cheng Qianli in capturing Cheng Sai City, so that our army could have a place to settle in this Western wilderness. Such achievements cannot be ignored. Specially, Li Guangbi commanded the original Qu Department over the level, and I will give you another Qianli horse to commend you."
"Ship Pei?" Li Guangbi raised his head in disbelief.
Pei Min laughed and stood up and said, "You left the camp without authorization. This is a big mistake. You should punish you. But if you destroy the enemy, indirectly relieve the danger of Tuozhe City. You will save General Cheng and the danger of the city. You will also make a lot of efforts to seize the city of Thundersai. This is a great achievement. You should reward! If you are punished, you should naturally not be inferior to you... But in the future, you should not be radical and extreme when dealing with things. Although you have extraordinary talents, you should defeat the enemy and win by three armies. You are definitely not a person who shows off your ability..."
