After another half month of arduous march, Qin Mubai led a large number of 100,000 men and horses, and finally walked into the territory of Huangshui County under the rule of Shanzhou. This walk felt like a practice, and it was also very conducive to the tempering and integration of this new army.
In fact, among these 100,000 horses, the real Han people accounted for less than a quarter, and most of them were Hu people from Tiele, Turks, Huihe and even Tubo. But with regard to the Western Army as the core team, other people have gradually been assimilated. The vast majority of the Husbands in the army have gradually accepted and accustomed to Tang Jun's orders and various living habits along the way, and also learned some simple Chinese for daily communication. As Li Shimin said, Datang has always tolerated the implementation of the "Han Yi family" policy. In the past, there was no shortage of humiliated people in the Datang army. In addition, Qin Mubai is now taking responsibility by example. Therefore, the soldiers of the Guanxi Army are very friendly to these new Humen soldiers. Even the Tubos who have fought to the death, the soldiers of the Guanxi Army have shown their generosity. Mind, treat each other equally.
This made the newly joined Hu Ren sergeant relieved of worries. The atmosphere in the army has naturally become more and more harmonious.
The army rectified a bit in Huangshui River. Qin Mubai first sent a quick horse to Shanzhou to report the letter, so that the generals who stayed behind in Shanzhou had a preparation. The next day, the governor of Shanzhou and the defending general left by Li Daozong came to Huangshui to pay homage to Qin Mubai, along with Tantai Dandan and the emissary of the imperial court.
Qin Mubai led the generals to greet the messenger and listen to the imperial edict.
As Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang had expected in advance, after the rebellion in the western borders of the Garqin Ling and the gathering of Hou Jun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin was really angered, and the court made a strong stress response—— Stand up and fight back and swear to destroy Tubo!
The imperial court condemned General Li Daliang, General Zuowei, General Li Junxian of Baiqi Ling and Inspector of Youlong Wuwei, and General Qin Tong of Baiqi Deputy and Inspector Zuolong Wuwei , Led three guards and 150,000 horses to open up Lanzhou under Qin Mubai's orders, plus the original troops of the Western Army, together took the initiative to defeat Tubo!
In addition, the imperial court ordered Wei Chi Jingde, the commander of the Jiannan Road March, to enter the army from Sichuan and Shu to cooperate with Qin Mubai in the battle.
In addition to the 50,000 horses from the Hou Jun Fair and the people from Su Dingfang who guarded Lanzhou, Qin Mubai now has 60,000 relatives and 40,000 Huiyou Army in his hand, plus 50,000 from Li Daozong to Dafeichuan. The total number of recruits from Lanzhou is 150,000. At that time, Li Daliang and others' troops arrived, and it happened to be 300,000!
This number is so familiar—when the Garqin Mausoleum walked down the plateau and knocked on the river, it was exactly 300,000 troops!
Now, the offensive and defensive swaps have just changed their forces.
The imperial decree also specifically issued a very important personnel appointment-to condemn Youzhou Metropolitan Governor Wu Wang Li Ke to Lanzhou, as the commander of the Kanxi Road!
This official position is somewhat similar to the party secretary or director of the political department in our modern military. Although Chang Shi does not directly control the military power and does not bring soldiers into battle, he directly represents the court can exercise important personnel appointment and removal powers and strategic veto powers; all the actions of the generals can be questioned, corrected, prosecuted and impeached-in fact That is, the Supervisor!
The imperial edict has just arrived, and the three armies are excited!
The imperial court finally added troops to Lanzhou! A while ago, Lanzhou used the power of a county to fight against the hostile forces of Tubo and the Western Regions alone, but it was hard enough. The front line is too long, the troops are inadequate, and the logistics are inadequate. These hard days are finally over!
The 400,000 troops, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of Datang’s total strength, joined the Lanzhou Helong Front. This is truly a national war. This kind of war was fought once a few years ago-Datang North destroyed the Turkic Khanate, but the scale at that time was not as big as this time.
China Datang, finally shines its sword!
After receiving the imperial decree, Qin Mubai asked the soldiers to communicate the news to each other to boost the morale of the army. Then Qin Mubai invited the messenger in private and asked him something.
The messenger is a walking book official in Hongwenguan. His surname is Zhou. The colleagues of Qin Bin who used to be the second brother often walked around each other, so Qin Mubai also knew him a little bit. Qin Mubai asked him why the court suddenly transferred King Wu to Lanzhou? It is not easy to travel thousands of miles between Guanshan and Youzhou, and Youzhou is also a border military center. As the lord of Youzhou, Wang Wu is transferred to Lanzhou to supervise the army. Such appointments are really rare!
Zhou Shuli told the truth and told Qin Mubai exactly what happened at the meeting on that day, but without any subjective comments, nor did he make any verbal comments.
After Qin Mubai listened, his heart jumped. Even if he was not present at the time, just imagining the rattling and strange atmosphere in the hall that day would be enough to make people sweat.
To put it bluntly, it was Li Tai and the eldest son Wuji, who launched a joint attack on Emperor Li Shimin at an important point, and wanted to take the initiative by taking advantage of this war. At that time, Changsun Wuji really made a wonderful move that could be achieved in seconds—he recommended Wei Wang Li Tail to the Lanzhou Supervision Army.
However, Li Shimin clearly penetrated their intentions at a glance, and was even more sophisticated. Although the two people who were in the trouble were his confidant wife and uncle who was leaning on his arm, and his most biological son, but at this moment, with Li Shimin's character, he could let others decide the big things about Saji? ——So, Li Shimin came to push the boat along the river to take advantage of his strength; then, King Wu, who had faded out of people’s sight for a long time, turned and returned incredible!
Li Ke, who kept a low profile and went out to avoid misfortunes, listened to Qin Mubai’s advice in his early years. He kept his tail under his feet for so many years, and finally—"If you don’t fly for three years, the flying will soar into the sky; if you don’t cry for three years, you will be amazing "
According to the idiom "Han Feizi" came out: a blockbuster!
The soldiers outside the camp were running to tell and clap their hands to celebrate, Qin Mubai held the imperial decree, but in his heart he knocked over a five-flavored bottle.
At this moment, Qin Mubai himself didn't know how many years he had been looking forward to, and how many times he dreamed that the court had sent countless money and soldiers in his dream. But when I wake up, I am always empty. Over the past few days, Qin Mubai has been struggling so hard that he can't sustain it anymore. But from the beginning to the end, Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and stood up without asking the court for a soldier. At most, through the victory, he asked for some food and grass like a beggar.
The long front in Guanlong, Hexi, depends on the army and civilians of Lanzhou spontaneously fighting against the powerful Tubo, Beiting and Western Regions. Is it easy?
If it weren't for Xue Rengui's accidental help from the heavenly soldiers, and the Yuyang second pass deer hand is still unknown, where did Qin Mubai return with an army of 100,000?
After the victory of Yuyang, it was originally planned by Qin Mubai. At that time, he could take the name of the South Turkic court to invite rescue. It was an excellent fighter to take advantage of the situation to return to Gaochang and begin to explore the Western Regions! But the army hadn't been rectified yet, and there was no time to catch a sigh of relief. There was another accident on Hou Junji. This had to rush back. Everything is like a dream.
It’s alright now. Datang finally stopped watching Qin Mubai fight alone. This lion, which had been sleeping for many years, was awakened from the pain after the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. Li Shimin secretly said “Garqin Mausoleum is in Dig a grave". Ever since, a three-way army of 150,000 rushed to aid Lanzhou, and a 50,000 army of Jiannan Road went west from Sichuan and Shu-as if it showed its claws and fangs!
"Mu Bai, great! Our Guanxi Army finally got ahead! Datang finally sent a master to help!" Xue Rengui was also very excited, and said, "Earlier, when I followed the commander to guard Lanzhou and attacked Gaochang, Shuai has said more than once that His Majesty the Emperor has always wanted to show his ambitions to use troops in the Western Regions, and wants to completely solve the Tubo problem. However, although he has an idea, it is extremely difficult to achieve his wish. Now, our wise and martial emperor finally leads Datang has taken this step!-If the commander in the sky knows the spirit, he will definitely be pleased!"
"Yes!" Qin Mubai smiled faintly, and said, "Countless lives and blood have finally been exchanged for today's step. In fact, although my father has always been a martial artist, he Dazhi is as stupid as a mirror, he knows his majesty’s difficulties and difficulties. With his own death, he fulfilled the mission and loyalty of a soldier, and at the same time, he also helped the emperor eliminate the constraints on the court; I, pushed to this position today."
"Looking back now, Xue can wake up, the facts are indeed like this..." Xue Rengui sighed slightly, nodded rather sentimentally, and said, "The man who killed countless people with a tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, But there is a Buddha heart. If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell?... Mu Bai, Xue will never be able to surpass the great handsome in this life! From now on, I will never want to hear anyone utterly praised me as a great Tang god. Tang is the God of War. Datang will always only have the only God of War, that is, Lord Yi Guo Qin Shubao!"
Qin Shubao smiled slightly, patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said: "Rengui, it is hard to match with a reputation. Don't care about these things. What others say, let him say. We just need to do what we deserve. Just do whatever you want."
"Well, I know." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Mu Bai, in fact, I have always had a question to ask the boss and you, but I haven't dared to ask. "
"You ask!"
"Why was the battle in Lanzhou so tight? Neither you nor the commander asked the court for help?" Xue Rengui said, "At the time when Gaochang rebelled, the commander did not wait for the imperial decree to issue command, and only led a lone army to kill ; Later, the Tubo troops pressed the border, why didn’t you ask the court for reinforcements?"
"This is related to national policy and also involves important and sensitive issues in the court. I don’t ask for assistance. First, I don’t want the emperor to embarrass him and put him in a passive disadvantage, because he is the biggest, last and also The only backer; the second is that I don’t want to interfere with the courts and national policies as the marshal of the border officials. This is a big taboo!"
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Lanzhou was actually a field of wrestling from the beginning. On the surface, it seems that Datang and the Hu Yis of neighboring countries are engaged in military contests; Above, two ideological concepts, two political forces, and two supporters of national policies within Datang are engaged in a desperate battle. We can all see the sharp swords and guns on the battlefield; but the political battles are It kills without seeing blood, and it is even more dangerous!"
