Chapter 581: You Wuwei takes the lead
Li De drove the war horses to the gate of the General's Mansion of the Right Wu Guard, and dismounted the horse with a saddle. The guards had already come up and threw the reins to the soldiers. Then he strode into the door.
Another general Yang Xing of the Central Army also arrived at this time. The two of them smiled and bowed each other, saying that they had not seen each other for a long time.
Although they are all generals of the Central Army, Li De, the status and power of the Central Army, are much higher than that of Yang Xing.
"General Li, save Tiande!" Li De, who was about to enter the door, was startled by a sudden scream. He turned to look in the direction where the sound came. He saw a huge stone lion from the gate of the General's Mansion, and then turned out a man, with his hair spreading high and his hands trying to rush over, but the guards were pulling him outside.
Since Zhang Jia didn't want to see him, Li De didn't want to be troublesome. He and Yang Xing quickly walked into the door, and the door was closed tightly with a slam. However, the roar still came faintly from outside the door.
"The person from Tiande?" Li De asked.
"It should be right!" Yang Xing said with a smile. "I don't burn incense and I cram the Buddha's feet at the moment. What's the use of asking us for help at this time?"
Li De nodded: "That's right. I've told them that we should be careful and treat it as a wind in my ears. This time, I suffered a great loss and I should know that we are kind."
"It's too late to know!" Yang Xing looked excited: "If these shit-stumbling sticks are gone, and the fertile land like Hetao is under the control of these people, it is a waste of resources. When we get it, whether it's grazing or reclamation, we can create another one that can be built on the south of the Yangtze River."
As they spoke, the two stepped into the lobby. In addition to General Zhang Jia, the General of the Wuwei and Xu Ziyuan, the governor of Shuozhou, there were many other generals, generals, and lieutenants who had already sat inside. When they saw the two generals of the Central Army coming in, they all stood up and saluted them.
Zhang Jia nodded to the two, pointed to the two positions on the right and signaled the two to sit down, saying, "I believe you have already made a general clear view of the situation on the road. As Li Xiang expected, the Tubo people invaded in a large-scale manner. It was earlier than we thought, so the situation was worse. According to the information we currently have, ten days ago, a Tubo army commanded by Chinan Delhi had arrived at Xishoujiang City. Given the current military strength of Xishoujiang City, I think Xishoujiang City should have fallen into the hands of the Tubo people. Xishoujiang City is geographically important and is guarding the key rush of the north and south. If it is lost, the entire gate was also opened by the Tubo people."
Li Dedao: "General, Tiande's people are crying outside! What do they want to do?"
"What else can I do? Of course I hope we will send troops to support immediately." Zhang Jia sneered: "After learning about the news of the Tubo people's massive invasion, Peng Fang hurriedly led the main force back to Zhongshoujiang City. But after the Xishoujiang City was lost, Zhongshoujiang City would inevitably be in danger."
"This is our opportunity." Li De said excitedly.
"Of course. This is our chance to solve the destiny in one fell swoop." Xu Ziyuan stood up and said, "Li Xiang has always hoped to open up the Western Regions channel and reopen the Silk Road, but because of the destiny blocking it, after passing the Western Sujiangcheng, the influence of the Tubo people was extremely strong. This time it was the best time to solve these two troubles in one fell swoop."
"What should we do?" Yang Xing asked.
Zhang Jia said: "It is obvious that this Tubo invasion will not be a single attack. Although there is no intelligence coming from the Ansui direction, since our direction is Delhi Chinan, in the Ansui direction, it should be the main force led by Tocharo. Like Tiande, Ansui does not believe that Tubo will attack them. Now the attack comes suddenly, I am afraid that there will be heavy losses."
"But we don't have to care about Ansui's direction for now. Even if there is something wrong there, it is the Hedong side. All we have to do is to defeat Chinan Delhi and eat Tiande by the way." Xu Ziyuan said with a smile.
"How to fight?" Li De said concisely.
"The Tubo people probably didn't expect that we had been waiting for this day for a long time. Their wishful thinking was to capture the entire territory of Tiande with this sneak attack, and there would be a few months of rest next time. After all, it would be spring plowing soon. They thought we could not draw enough troops and sufficient energy to deal with it, so they could prepare for the war with us." Zhang Jia sneered: "It's a pity that Li Xiang had made every decision. Whether it was Hedong or our Shuozhou, we had already made preparations. This time, we would let him come and go."
Happy laughter from a group of generals rang inside the room.
"Of course, the Tubo people are pretty good at fighting, so don't underestimate them. Li De, I'm going to let you go for the most difficult battle, how about it?" Zhang Jia asked with a smile.
"Please give me instructions, General!" Li De stood up suddenly.
"Your command of three thousand Rangers, I will bring you another five thousand cavalry in the headquarters of the Central Army with you, including three thousand Khitan Hu cavalry." Zhang Jia said: "There are 8,000 cavalry in total. You must detour Ordosi, avoid the main force of Chinan in Delhi, and go straight to Xishoujiang City. You can take back Xishoujiang City with lightning speed and close the Ximen Gate."
Li De looked up at the map and said that this time, the mission was second to the war. The most important thing was to march. "How to solve the problem of the army's food and grass? Since you need speed, you can't bring too much food and grass."
"Everyone brings ten days of dry food, and the rest will be solved on the spot." Zhang Jia said without any emotion: "It is not our people yet, so it doesn't matter."
"I understand." Li Dedao: "I was a Ranger, and this time I have been back to my old job. Don't worry, General, I will guard the West Suspension City well for you."
"Yang Xing, you lead your troops to arrive at Dongshoujiang City as fast as possible. Where can I take it!" Zhang Jia said.
"General, Dongshoujiang City will definitely be in the hands of the Tiande Army by then. What should they do if they don't allow it?" Yang Xing asked.
Zhang Jia's eyes showed fierce light: "They either surrender or die."
After Zhang Jia said this, Yang Xing stopped talking.
"I will lead the main force of the Right Martial Guard and slowly drive towards Zhongshoujiang City. I hope Peng Fang will be more successful. When I arrived, Zhongshoujiang City had not been broken by the Tubo people. In this way, we will save more effort." Zhang Jia said.
"No matter whether the city of Zhongshou Sui Zhuang or not is broken or not, I don't think Peng Fang has to survive anymore." Xu Ziyuan said casually.
Zhang Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, governor Xu, Peng Fang will definitely die at the hands of the Tubo people. I will not cause trouble for Li Xiang!"
Xu Ziyuan and Zhang Jia were ruthless and did not care about the life and death of the guards in the whole place. The other generals in the house just pretended that they had not heard it. Tiande collapsed, and Peng Fang, as the supreme commander of Tiande, naturally had no reason to survive again. It would be a problem for him to live. Only when he died can Zhenzhou implement his own policies without any scruples on this land.
"Governor Xu, I'm afraid you're going to be busy next." Zhang Jia smiled at Xu Ziyuan.
Xu Ziyuan smiled and sighed: "Yes, yes, but fortunately, we have prepared for this war. We don't have to worry about the weapons and food. What I am worried about now is that there will inevitably be a large number of Tiande refugees coming to our Shuozhou next. These people cannot ignore them, otherwise there will be chaos. Then spring plowing comes again. The war ahead requires a large number of civilians, and spring plowing is even more daring to be negligent. Not to mention, the Tubo people are still very good at pinching them."
"Can those who escape in be organized to be civil servants!" Zhang Jia said: "Spring plowing is related to whether we live a good life this year, and we dare not delay it."
"The general doesn't have to worry about these things. Just win the war." Xu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows.
Three days later, Yang Xing led 5,000 infantrymen to advance eastward to the surrender city.
Four days later, Li De led 8,000 cavalry and quietly left Shuozhou before Liming. They would go around a big circle and go straight to Xishoujiang City. Whether Zhang Jia could shut down the door and beat the dog depends on Li De's action this time. Li De's newlywed wife Liu Xiaochan was also covered in a wardrobe, and the husband and wife followed him.
Five days later, Zhang Jia led the main force to slowly advance towards Zhongshoujiang City. Unlike Yang Xing and Li De, the main force led by Zhang Jia carried all the baggage and retreated toward at a speed of twenty to thirty miles a day.
When Zhang Jia's right Wu Guard entered the state of war, the messenger they reported to Wuyi had just rushed into Wuyi City, and the messenger from Hedong who entered Wuyi with Zhang Jia's messenger were also messengers from Hedong.
Tubo talked about Tochar's main force launched a large-scale attack on Ansui.
"Young Master, Gu Han has accompanied Zhang Zhongwen to Dezhou. He will go straight to Wuyi along the canal and prepare to negotiate with us. If he knows that we and Tubo are about to go to full war, he will probably raise the price." Tian Bo looked at Li Ze in the head and said.
"Let Gao Lei and Wang Duo come forward to receive Zhang Zhongwen and first place them in Daqingshan Villa. My father and they are both old acquaintances. When they meet, they naturally have to linger. In addition, strictly block the news and go there to discuss matters between the two parties after I have finished dealing with the matters here." Li Ze thought for a while and said. "Don't let him and his entourage have contact with outsiders before we reach a comprehensive agreement with Zhang Zhongwen, and the inner guards should keep a close eye on it."
"Yes." Tahabado.
"Besides, the fox tail on the other side of the river is almost impossible to hide." Tian Bo smiled and said, "As long as they move and collude with the pseudo Liang and Tubo, it will prove to be as strong as a mountain."
