Chapter 1553 The visitor on the iceberg
The cold wind whistled, and on the high snow-capped mountains, even if the person stood naked and still stood still, he seemed to have carried dozens of kilograms of things.
Zhang Hun was wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes wearing black crystal glasses under the scarf. It was snow-white everywhere, and after walking for a long time, his eyes would sting and cry. Zhang Hun was wearing sunglasses himself, and some of his officers were also wearing sunglasses. More soldiers could not do a pair of hands, so they surrounded a piece of black gauze on their eyes, which could also play a role in protecting their eyes.
"Your Highness!"
"I said that I should not call me Your Highness in the future, call me the regiment commander." Zhang Hui said.
"Yes, the regiment commander." The guard knight looked at Li Yibiao, Lu Dongzan and others who were talking in front of him. "It seems that we are going to camp here for the night today. King Nibau did not send anyone to greet him. General Jiang said he wanted to make the worst plan, maybe this Nibaulan did not welcome us into the country."
Zhang Hui snorted coldly, "What's the point of being a small country of photography? If he doesn't like it or not? Since he sent someone to submit to Dahua and actively become a vassal state of Dahua, then he should have enough awareness. What is our Dahua? If he says we, surrender, and if he says we, a vassal state, he will become a vassal state?"
Actually, Hanjing doesn’t know what Nipola’s attitude is.
What a small country like this is best at swaying left and right.
When it happens really, it won't work again.
This time, Dahua asked the five vassal states to send troops to support the Queen in quelling the rebellion. It was not only an opportunity to interfere in quarantine chaos in the day and add fuel to the fire, but also to intervene in the five vassal states.
If the Five Variety is obedient, then you can naturally drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf. Use the Five Variety's soldiers to get the Ji Japanese first, and at the same time take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Five Variety. In the end, Dahua will naturally pick up the benefits.
But if the five feudals refused to send troops honestly, then Dahua happened to deal with them first, and they didn't even have to use troops directly. For example, the Tubo king was detained in Dahua, and even the prime minister Lu Dongzan and the general's subject matter had a son in Hanjing.
Zhang Chao also took the opportunity of the Independent Corps of the Second Prince Zhang Hui to escort Li Yibiao and the others to the Kingdom of Jieji. If Tubo dared to be bothered, Zhang Hui could try his own combat effectiveness first. Moreover, the Tubo people were sending troops outside, so they had to worry about the hometown being confiscated by the Qinghai Road, Subi and Xichang countries in the back.
Tubo is now being held back by Dahua and dare not do anything randomly.
When they asked them to send troops, they honestly recruited 20,000 infantry and cavalry to fight.
"This ghost weather is really cold."
Zhang Hui recruited soldiers in the Western Regions, formed his own 8,000 troops, and then received the equipment sent by the emperor. After marching all the way to Tubo, joining Li Yibiao and their Tubo army, then coming over.
He has been marching for several months, and now the Central Plains is in an extremely lively season to buy New Year's goods, but he is marching in this snow-capped glacier and eating the northwest wind.
Fortunately, his troops were fully equipped, and they had many riding war horses and pack horses, which allowed them to carry a lot of supplies during the march, and there was no need to wait for the rear transport equipment to replenish them.
Because there are many pack horses, they can carry enough meat floss, milk powder, fried rice, ghee, etc., and they can also bring a lot of supplies such as flour, even instant noodles, canned food, etc. They also have many supplies for preventing cold and heating, such as tents, blankets, quilts, and leather jackets.
He even carried a certain amount of coal and a lot of alcohol.
As for equipment, let alone those Tubo barbarians have never seen such troops sending troops to fight like this. They traveled thousands of miles to fight and carried so much supplies.
When they fought, they went there almost empty-handedly, and at most they brought some food on the road. Anyway, fighting was a robbery. Where can they bring all their wealth with them in war, they all went to grab them.
When he first stepped into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Zhang Hun was really hard to adapt, he was dizzy and his chest was stuffy. Fortunately, the emperor sent someone to send them saffron, so they let them drink it in water, and some other medicinal materials. After marching all the way, and taking those medicines, the already strong soldiers of the Independent Regiment gradually got used to it.
Even Zhang Hun can now marching in full arm.
"If we really fight, these Tubo people may not be able to rely on them. We must be prepared. If we want to count them into our enemies, we must not give our backs to these people. We only believe in our comrades!" The Chief of Staff suggested to Zhang Hui.
This is an experienced veteran who retired because he was blinded by one eye, but he was still very capable. Zhang Hui invited him to leave the mountain and serve as his chief of staff.
"The Chief of Staff is right, we only trust our comrades." Zhang Hui bet all his wealth on this team this time. If he had failed to get a chance to fall into the sand before the retention day was reached, then he would have no face to see Jiangdong's elders again.
"The Tubo people dare not do this, right?" said the guard.
"What's impossible? This is not the Central Plains. It is on the border between Tubo and Nipola. This is the snowy mountain and on this large glacier. Everything is possible." The old chief of staff has been through a long battle formation. Although Dahua is now powerful and unrivaled.
But there are still many frogs in the well who are watching the sky. I don’t know how powerful Dahua is. Their eyes only see the little bit in front of them. Sometimes, they will inevitably do many amazing stupid things.
For example, at present, the Tubo army has 20,000 troops, while the Dahua army only has 8,000 troops. And the Nipola opposite also has at least tens of thousands of troops. If Lu Dongzan or the Yangshu Famo had a brain attack for a while, it would be impossible to do something bold.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to relieve thirst from far away water. No matter how powerful Dahua is, here, now, there are only eight thousand of them.
The only people they can rely on are themselves eight thousand people.
"Xiao Wu, go and invite Li Youqiao, General Jiang, and Lu Dongzan and the subject matter to come to us. It's getting late, so start camping. Remember to keep a certain distance from the Tubo people. We must be careful and beware of it."
After receiving the transfer from the guards sent by Zhang Hui, Li Yibiao pondered for a while. Then he nodded and discussed with Jiang Shiren.
"Our second prince seems to be very cautious, and probably it's obvious that something is wrong."
"I think Lu Dongzan and the subject matter dare not do anything randomly, but the second prince was also kind-hearted, and bringing them to our military camp together would make the Tubo people even less afraid to do something randomly, after all, they are afraid of being a mouse."
"I heard all kinds of rumors before, and I always felt that the second prince was a little reckless, but when I walked along the way, I felt that our second prince was not as unbearable as the legendary ones. I was very capable. I had never married for a few months and had no trouble at all. The camping of this marching was also very organized. Look at the eight thousand soldiers under his command, even those five thousand auxiliary soldiers, were very strong."
Li Yibiao felt the same way.
Originally, the emperor had transferred the second prince to escort them, but they were always worried that the second prince would cause trouble and were afraid that it would be difficult to get along with.
But along the way, the second prince was a little arrogant and didn't have much contact with them, but in fact he was very outstanding in all aspects.
Look at what they hadn't thought of yet, the second prince had already taken precautions.
Li Yibiao invited Lu Dongzan and other groups of Tubo generals to the Han camp, because the tent over there was warmer and the food for the independent group was better.
Lu Dongzan didn't even say it out loud. Some things just say it out loud.
"Okay, I'll send someone to see it again. Maybe Yang lost to Famo just remembered the time wrong."
"What do you care about him? Let's take a night off here first and make plans tomorrow." Li Yibiao pretended to be indifferent.
As the right prime minister who was sent to Tubo, he certainly had a mission. He was not that kind of nerd. He was also a scattered doctor in the court in the past, and even served as a military censor. He was also a governor. He had worked in many positions, had good abilities and was very capable at the moment of adapting to the situation.
Nibharu did not come to pick him up, he had already made the worst plan.
The two armies finally chose to camp on an ice lake. The ice lake was very large and covered with snow. If you can't even see the size of the naked eye, you will easily lose your direction.
Zhang Hui proposed that the Independent Regiment and the Tubo Army camped on the left and right, relying on each other, in fact, to prevent the Tubo people from camping with them, in order to prevent the sudden change and there was no time to deal with it.
The two armies camped on the edge of the ice lake.
"Right Prime Minister, can you reveal to someone what the origin of this regiment Zhang is? I think even the Right Prime Minister and the Right General seem to be very polite to him." Lu Dongzan entered the Chinese military camp, and the more he looked, the more he was amazed.
This method of setting up camp, this camp and the equipment are too luxurious.
Compared with them, their Tubo camps were like a group of refugees who fled to famine.
And the more he looked at it, the more curious he was about this Captain Zhang. A Captain was of very low level. An ordinary Captain was at most a sixth rank. Even if the number of people under this Captain was over 8,000, it would be amazing to be considered as the sixth rank.
The military officer who is only a sixth rank is far from Li Yibiao and Jiang Shiren. You should know that these two are from the fourth rank, but these two are very respectful to this young Captain Zhang?
"Our Captain Zhang is a bit unusual, you don't have to guess it all. Don't mess with him easily anyway." Li Yibiao said with a smile.
Several people entered Zhang Hun's tent.
The tent was very warm, and the thick tent isolated the cold outside. There was even a felt blanket on the ground and a stove was erected inside.
"Secretary Li, General Jiang, I just got the news that the Nipola people gathered 30,000 troops at the pass and were ready for the battle. Their welcome formation was a bit too enthusiastic, I was afraid it was bad intentions." Zhang Hui said.
Li Yibiao frowned, "Is the news reliable?"
"The news sent to us by the Jinyiwei."
When he heard that it was the source of the Jinyiwei, Li Yibiao stopped talking.
Jiang Shiren stared at Lu Dongzan, "Left Prime Minister, do you know about this?"
Lu Dongzan shook his head quickly, "How could I know that this duck lost to Famo, it was really unwise!"
Zhang Hui said distractedly, "Actually it's nothing, but he's just an arrogant Yelang. We will meet them tomorrow. At that time, we will ask the Zuo Prime Minister and General Zuo to lead the Tubo brothers in the lead!"
Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured, the brothers of the Independent Group don't bother. Tomorrow we Tubo warriors will be able to deal with these damn Nibharu people."
