"Oh, you are all my destiny officials of Tang, why should you do this?" Gao Yue pretended to help them up one by one.

But all these new loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty were like their knees. They couldn't even pull them up, and they were still crying. They wanted to dig out a flapping heart in their chest and present it to Gao Yue for a while. No matter how hard they persuaded them, they couldn't persuade them.

Finally, Gao Yue went further and expressed his willingness to support many eliminated armor and iron arrowheads in Xingyuan Fengxiang and the "little brothers" of Wudu Qiang for free, asking them to follow and fight as servants. He also said that he would submit a request to the court to imitate Bai Yushan's "Baoyi Army" and the "Xiong Qi Army" that had just been established in Chengqin, and to grant the "Zhengyuan Army" the military name of Wudu Qiang that was attached to the "Zhengyuan Army".

Now, when Wudu Qiang saw that he could undoubtedly serve Ji Gong and the Tang Dynasty, he smiled and patted his knees and stood up.

That night, the chiefs of the Qiang and Hu also attended the banquet where Gao Yue entertained them. At the banquet, they all changed into costumes, danced around Gao Yue, and sang praises.

It is also strange that since they fired a shot in front of them, these Qiang and Hu people seem to be particularly good at singing and dancing.

Among them, there were female chiefs who were fighting to pour wine for Gao Yue at the banquet, and each one was sending out a happy autumn trip, hoping to serve Ji Gong, and it would be better to leave behind descendants immediately.

But in the end, Gao Yue still disappointed them.

A few days later, the entire Zhenyuan army was armed by Gao Yue, and the number of people was getting bigger and bigger like snowballs. Chiefs, tell me, I tell you, the Tang army is simply amazing, the Western Fan is already setting, and we have taken the opportunity to push the wall.

At the same time, Gao Yue also added additional orders to the three troops:

When a large army set up a camp, they must not enter the Wudu Qiang Qiang and fall, nor shall they seize Wudu Qiang cattle and sheep at will. If necessary, they must pay appropriate money;

The army was not allowed to accept the despair of Wudu Qiang, so as not to be involved in the reward competition of various foreign countries;

Wherever the army chariots ride, they may trample on the grassland crops. They can prepare 120,000 stags of silk and cotton cloth to repay them as "grain-walking money" to the landfall along the road;

In addition, you must not trust the guide of Qiang Fanluo in Wudu. All marching and camping are subject to Jia Xianggong's military agenda map.

Even with the last order, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the entire Zhenyuan army to participate. They wrapped the simple battle flags around them, rode their own grazing horses or camels, equipped the armor and bows and arrows given by the Tang army, provided protection for the flanks of the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army, or opened up passages. There was also a team of Qiang women, wearing heavy makeup, and following the Tang army, half-cost and half-voluntary services to the soldiers...

Soon, the artillery of the Dingwu Army fired violently, and the shells hit the rammed earth wall of Xifan Heishui Castle, and the broken soil was rolled up like a hurricane. There were also seven or eight small "Tongwan Cannons", all of which were built by the Tang army according to local conditions. They only needed to carry small iron ingots to fall and trigger them. The stone balls and hard mud balls it threw out destroyed the corner towers, battle sheds and war sheds of the Heishui Castle one by one.

The servants of Wudu Qiang of Zhenyuan Army were shouting and rushing to the front. They carried the ladders and braved the arrow rain of the Xifan City Defense Forces, put the ladders on the fortress, and then climbed up one after another, and fought with the city defense force.

The generals and soldiers of the Dingwu Army lined up slowly and followed them until they completely captured the Black Water Fort.

Later, Hongya Pass was also captured by the Tang army.

On the third day of September, the Dingwu Army had entered Caoye on the edge of Songzhou and began to assign the light cavalry of the Zhenyuan Army as the vanguard, set fire everywhere, and drove away the Xifan tribes grazing here, and said that they would liberate all the slaves in Xifan and give them to the fields and pastures.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the two first generals of the Yining Army also captured Pingwu City, and then entered Songzhou from the southern border.

At this time, Wei Gao's army had bribed the eight countries in Xishan, as well as the Xiaofeng Qiang near Weizhou, Zuofeng Qiang and other foreign countries. Tens of thousands of people crossed Diboling and set up camp at Wuyou City. This time, Wei Gao was ruthless. Although from Xishanzhongbei Road in Shudu to the front line, most of them were deep cliffs and valleys, and food was difficult to transport, even if only one stone could be transported, it would have to be transported! For this reason, Wei Gao personally took the lead and took charge of the Sanqi Governor of Guankou in Xishan.

As Du Fu said in "Early Autumn of Fenghe Yan Zheng Gong Juncheng":

The autumn wind roars high flags,

The jade tent was divided into bows and shot the enemy camp.

Have collected the Dobo Yunjianzhang,

It even captured the outer city of Pengpoxue.

In Wuyou City, the Western Bo remarks were very frightened. "There is Wei Yasha in front and Gao Moro behind. It seems that Chengzhou in Longyou and Qinzhou are not the main attack direction of the Tang army. Our Victoria is!"

Now Gao Yue's main force has entered Songzhou. You should know that from Xichuan to Wei, Songzhou, the mountains are rising, but once you enter Songzhou, it is a large plateau with a flat land, and the water and grass are lush, which has always been the most important place for Xifan to herd horses. It is equivalent to the entire backyard of the south road. If it is captured by Gao Yue, not only will Victoria Wuyou City be completely isolated, but Gao Yue can also cross the Gansong Ridge of Songzhou, go west and go deep into the Dangxiang Old Land, and go northwest to the Tuyuhun Old Land in Qinghai. In that way, Dafan's hinterland will be in danger.

So, after Mangre, he hurriedly sent a flying bird envoy, saying that the Tang army surrounded my Wuyou City, but the Han army was not conducive to defending the plateau. Please send the Dongdai Imperial Army and Qinghai Road troops as soon as possible, "all the country's strong strength came out", and pass through Pengpo Mountain Pass (100 miles west of Wuyou City, where the Tang Dynasty once set up Pingrong City here), and attack Wei Gao's army. My Wuyou City will fight and support me again, and you will be able to win a great victory.

There is also some truth to what Mangre said. During the Yifeng period, during the Tang and Bo War, Tang spent a lot of money to build Anrong City at the foot of Pengpo Mountain (later renamed Pingrong City) to break the road to invade Jiannan by Xibo. Later, Xibo took the local Qiang as the guide to attack Anrong City. In the 26th year of Kaiyuan of Xuanzong, the governor of Jiannan, Wang Yu, raised his army to attack Anrong City, and built a city block on each side to serve as a place to attack and defend, and suddenly attacked and captured Anrong City. In September, Xibo ended

The elite troops in the country were brought out, Yue Pengpo Mountain came to attack, and Jiannan Army was defeated. Wang Yu was saved only by himself, and "ten thousand people and military food supplies were all destroyed by the thief." Two years later, Emperor Xuanzong personally planned and ordered the new Jiannan Jiedu governor Zhang Qiu and Qiong to use a plan to bribe Zhai Du, the commander of Anrong City, and Dong Chengyan, the "Vizhou Special Administrator" set up by Xifan (this person is a Qiang person in Victoria), to recapture Victoria and Anrong City, kill all the soldiers in Xifan. After that, Anrong City was changed to Pingrong City.

After that, between the Tang and Turkish countries, tragic struggles were repeatedly launched between Victoria and Songzhou, and war and garrison brought heavy burdens to the entire Shu area. Gao Shi, the ancestor of Gao Yue in this era, once submitted a letter to the court, admitting that it would maintain several fortresses such as Pingrong, "in the ridge of the poor mountains, hanging at the end of the dangerous end, transporting grain on the road to horses, and sitting in an armour in a land of no one." However, in the end, the efforts of the Tang army were destroyed with the Anshi Rebellion, and the land was completely annexed by Xifan.

Originally, it was extremely difficult to capture the city of Wei Gao alone.

But when Gao Yue walked on Bailong River and attacked Songzhou from the two groups, the situation became very different: Weizhou, Maozhou, where Wei Gao was located, and Songzhou, where Gao Yue’s main force was located, there was only a Yizhou, which was only three hundred miles apart from north to south, which was the attack distance of one day and night when the light cavalry attacked.
