Chapter 33 Strategies to win thousands of miles(1/2)
Su Lu's heart was like a knife, but the current situation could no longer be hesitated.
The system of the grassland nation of Tuqishi is different from that of the Chinese countries.
The important period of the Chinese country is that if it were not for the end of Qin, Han, and Sui, everyone would have to attack the end of the world, and the slight failure of the last days would not shake the king's position.
They will attribute the fault to the generals in commanding the army, not the king.
Tuqi Shi is different, or the grassland ethnic groups are different.
What they value is strength and prestige. If they have strong strength and strong prestige, some people will believe it.
On the contrary, it cannot suppress the many tribal leaders under his command...
This is also the reason why most powerful people on the grassland are short-lived.
They only obey the strong and loyal to the strong, not a fixed person, nor will they share the joys and sorrows with someone.
This time, the victory of Suoye City made Sulu's status rise and his position become more stable. But now Gu Chuo's miserable defeat and the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers undoubtedly gave another discount on the results of his great victory.
Sulu did not forget the original agreement.
The prince of the Huang tribe has grown up and is quite prestigious.
And the most popular prince of their Black Tribe has already cut off his head.
One rises and the other falls, and the yellow part may take the opportunity to attack.
Sulu knew very well that his brother was not a good-looking lamp.
Now what he can do and what he needs to do is to expand the results of the battle.
Improve your deterrence to a higher level, consolidate your prestige, and gain time to cultivate the next generation.
Kucha City was the foothold of the Grand Governor's Office of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty and has profound significance.
Cracking the Grand Governor's Office of Anxi and robbing Kucha is equivalent to trampling the Tang Dynasty under your feet.
Such a result is enough to wash away the shame brought by bone sip.
"As long as I am here, I would rather riddle and use it in my hands, I will not give it to you, my brother!"
Su Lu murmured to himself, then strode out of the tent.
The sound of the bone flute of gathering soldiers floated over the Saiye City.
The mighty cavalry team braved the wind and snow to attack Kucha City.
Sulu's military dispatch was obviously much older than Gu Chuan.
We have spread all the horses along the way, hoping to master all the information about Kucha when we are approaching Kucha.
Although Sulu knew that there were not many soldiers in Kucha, he only had three thousand reinforcements from Xizhou, plus more than a thousand Kucha remnants who had retreated.
The city defense of Kucha is average, not all the strong cities of the Central Plains dynasty.
Their troops had sufficient advantages and had a chance to capture the city before the Tang army supported it.
Of course, all of this was Sulu's wishful thinking.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
"Reporting to Khan, there are more banners in Kucha City. Feng Changqing, who was originally in Xizhou, has led his troops to Kucha City."
Sulu pulled the reins, his face turned blue, and unexpectedly shouted: "Feng Changqing is also here in Kucha? How could it be so fast?"
The three words Feng Changqing were spoken by Su Lu, and there was a great chill.
The Discovery responded: "It is said that after they won the Aiding River, they did not even enter Gaochang City and came straight to Kucha."
Su Lu was stunned and shouted, "Are they giving up on Xizhou? Is there no troops left in Xizhou?"
In an instant, Su Lu found himself in a situation of sniffing his bones.
I wanted to take Kucha, but the Tang army seemed to treat Kucha as a treasure and constantly send troops to support him.
Even emptied Gaochang, Xizhou...
Should I go to Gaochang or continue with Kucha?
According to principles, Gaochang is the best choice, but after suffering a loss once, how can he have the courage to transfer troops to get Gaochang?
If you don’t go to Gaochang, will you still be Kucha?
Kucha, which has been supported, is no longer easy to capture as calculated.
Su Lu just felt that his brain was about to explode...
************
The battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tuqishi in the Western Regions touched the hearts of most people around.
The Western Regions are the main battlefield of the future and the goal of competition among major forces.
Anxi's every move is under the attention of neighboring countries.
At this moment, Dazhalugong had already taken advantage of Murong Yan's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty to control Qinghai's hegemony and completely controlled Qinghai Lake.
Tubo has always regarded the Tang Dynasty as a strong enemy because the existence of the Tang Dynasty completely blocked the road to development of Tubo.
Tubo is located on the plateau, and only development below the plateau is the only way to survive.
But under the plateau, all territories were the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Unless Tubo is willing to stay on the plateau for the rest of his life, they will have no peace with the Tang Dynasty.
The battle situation in the Western Regions was immediately transmitted to Dazhalugong through the secret whistle lurking in Anxi and Hexi.
"Too awesome!"
Looking at the battle report, Dazhalugong's father, Enlan Layun, couldn't help but sigh.
Dazhalu Gong also said, "Yes, it's so amazing! Having such an opponent is both glorious and terrifying."
Enlan Layun nodded and said, "Yes, this Feng Changqing has not really been alone yet. He is already so amazing. If he really stands alone, his achievements will be limitless."
Dazhalugong was stunned and smiled and said, "What my father said was Feng Changqing!"
Enlan Layun said in surprise: "Isn't my son talking about him? He crossed the unmanned sand dunes, and under the weak forces, he wiped out the enemy with his exhausted army, and rushed to Kucha without stopping, which made Sulu stand in a dilemma. Isn't this military level powerful?"
"The battle was wonderful and beautiful. Feng Changqing is indeed an amazing general!"
Dazhalugong was not stingy with praise for Feng Changqing, but then said: "But it's not what the child said. My father didn't see the real powerful person."
Enlan Layun pondered for a while and guessed: "Are you talking about Pei Min?"
Dazalugong had a little fascination in his eyes and said in admiration: "Who else can be there except him?"
"But no one else has arrived in Anxi!" Enlan Layun just guessed randomly, and he didn't know the reason at all.
Dazha Lugong took out the topographic map of the Hexi Xidi Regions and pointed to Gaochang, Xizhou on the map and said, "My father thinks that Cui Xiyi dares to give up Xidizhou, and Feng Changqing dares to give up Xidizhou? If there is no Pei Min's order, they will not dare to empty the portal of the Western Regions."
He pointed Gaochang with his fingers and said, "The weight of Xizhou is better than any part of the Western Regions. How powerful was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? After he destroyed Gaochang, why didn't he establish a Gaochang puppet, but instead engraved Gaochang into Xizhou? Because as long as Xizhou is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the gateway to the Western Regions. As long as Xizhou is in, the Western Regions will not be in chaos."
"The geographical location of Xizhou is so important. My father has thought about why Pei Min dared to empty Xizhou? He isn't afraid that something is strange in Xizhou?"
"This?" Enlan Layun couldn't speak.
Although they are father and son, it is obvious that the military capabilities of these father and son are completely different from the same level.
"Not afraid, Pei Min is really not afraid, because, in the surface of his empty Xizhou, in fact, he has not empty Xizhou at all! The child dares to say that if Sulu Khan had the courage to enter Xizhou, his fate would not end well even if he was not as annihilated as his son."
"Because when he arrived, he would not face a vacant Xizhou, but the Yizhou army of Zhang Xiaosong, the governor of Yizhou."
"My father should have heard of Zhang Xiaosong's reputation. His military strategy may not be as outstanding as Feng Changqing, but it is not easy. How beautiful was he fought in the Western Regions? He occupied the geographical advantage of Xizhou, but Sulu Khan could not get any advantage. Instead, he fell under the siege of Zhang Xiaosong, Feng Changqing, and Cui Xiyi, the three governors of Hexi."
Enlan Layun said in a lost voice: "How is this possible? Zhang Xiaosong led his troops to Xizhou, so what about his Yizhou? There are many tribes around Yizhou who are eyeing him..."
Dazalugong exclaimed, "This is Pei Min's cleverness, just like Xizhou. It seems that he has empty Yizhou. But shortly after emptying Yizhou, someone will replace them. Anyone who feels there is an opportunity will be bleeding."
What he said seemed to be unsatisfied, and he specially marked the Chishui Army, Dadou Army, Jiankang Army, Ningko Army, Yumen Army, Moli Army, and Doulu Army in Hexi on the map one by one.
"Father, please see, the Hexi army continued to rush to the Western Regions. They gathered into a long dragon, one after another. The defense line of the former was replaced by the latter and layered in layers. It seemed that it was an unstoppable air defense zone, but in fact, the latter replaced the defense every step. It not only ensured the completeness of its own territory, but also supported Anxi in the fastest and most convenient way."
Dazhalu's eyes were shining, and he danced with some hands and feet: "Just like a chess game, Pei Min controls everything, and uses every piece for him, and uses the blade."
Enlan Layun looked heavy and said, "If all Liangzhou troops support Anxi, wouldn't it be like empty Hexi..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately gave himself a mouth and reacted.
In addition to being the governor of Hexi, Pei Min was also the governor of Longyou.
According to Pei Min's dispatch method, the empty Hexi Army will be taken over by the Longyou Army.
As for Longyou, there are the territory of the Tang Dynasty on all sides. As long as you guard Moliyi well, even if Longyou is controlled, there will be no problem.
Mo Li Post is in Qinghai Lake. As a general of Qinghai Lake, how could he not know that as early as the war in the Western Regions began, the four armies of Shenwei Army Li Yide, Ningsai Army Li Siye, Heyuan Army Wang Hu, and Ningbian Army Shi Yan had already stationed in Mo Li Post.
Dazalugong's face was replaced by the loss of soul at this moment, and he said, "I heard that when Pei Min got the battle in Anxi, he reached more than 60 general orders at the first time that night. I have never figured out what there are so many orders to issue. Now I understand everything. The current situation in Anxi is all among those more than 60 general orders. Before others arrived in Anxi, those more than 60 general orders had already stabilized the situation in Anxi. I can't match such a vision..."
He always regarded Pei Min as his goal and understood him and imitated him, but the more he imitated, the less confidence he felt.
Compared to Pei Min's past, Pei Min's almost artistic level of military transfer makes him look like a peak and intimidated.
Enlan Layun figured out everything, but was speechless for a long time. In the end, thousands of words gathered together into one sentence: "I plan my own strategy and win a thousand miles away. I always thought that this was too legendary and no one could do it. Now it seems that even if he couldn't reach this level, it was not far away. Pei Min was already difficult to deal with, but he had expected that he would make such progress after many years!"
