"Erlang, the military book does not mean that the speed of soldiers is the most important. Why is the marching speed so slow this time?" If it was faster from Shanzhou to Shicheng Castle at most one day, it would be solved with the speed of almost all the cavalry in Wang Hua's hands. However, Wang Hua was slow and walked for two days, but he had not arrived yet. So Li Xuejun asked strangely.

"Xuejun, you have to carry siege equipment when attacking the Stone Castle? You also know that the Stone Castle is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it takes a long time to conquer it. The east side of the forage is Jiuqu, but the soldiers must carry food, right?"

But he brought a lot of food, siege equipment, and other strange things. Therefore, in addition to the 15,000 troops, he also drew a large number of civilians, livestock, horses, carriages, ox and carriages. Wang Hua's formal fighting style, that is, Di Dayan attacked Hezhou and Shanzhou, and brought some siege equipment, and went to attack Shicheng.

But Li Xue's beautiful blue eyes rolled her eyes, which meant it would be strange if she believed you.

The two rode on horseback and walked in the forefront of the team, one tall and burly, and the other stood tall and graceful, looking extremely compatible. Although Li Xuejun, as a woman, was a little weird, it was a bit strange to walk in the forefront of the army. However, no soldier in the blood camp raised an objection. On the contrary, they agreed very much.

Li Xuejun also became another legend. He first went deep into the rushing cavalry alone, and then joined hands with Wang Hua to break out of the palace. Almost no one has seen anyone Li Xuejun fight with, but this skill is also in their frequent imagination.

Li Xuejun didn't believe that Wang Hua's marching was so slow, it was as simple as he said.

Similarly, Di Dayan didn't believe that Wang Hua was as simple as that, although Wang Hua should do this wisely.

What exactly is he going to do?

Even if Di Dayan scratched his head, he couldn't think of it. He was about to be crazy.

This good news also spread to Chang'an. It was not Wang Hua's, he would pass it, but the battle did not end. It was passed on by local officials.

At that time, all the officials in the morning court opened their mouths one by one, and nine out of ten ministers could stuff eggs into their mouths.

Isn’t Wang Hua in Lingzhou? Why has he fought? And the victory is so different. Could it be that Di Dayan is a fool? Some ministers think so. But it’s really a fool. Will Tubo ask him to be responsible for Jishishan and Dafeichuan? You should know that the main enemies of the Tang Dynasty were Tubo and the Turks, and the main enemies of Tubo were also the Tang Dynasty. They wanted to expand, whether it was Jiuqu or Hexi Corridor, there were places where the water and grass were abundant, and they could be pastored and cultivated, but these areas that made the Tubo people coveted were the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The area under which Di Dayan is responsible can be said to be one of the most important areas in Tubo.

As a result, when asked, many people knew about the general situation of Tubo. Not only was it not a fool, but also a famous Tubo general.

But I don’t understand this. Since I am a famous general, why did I lose so badly?

The king and his ministers were happy to defeat Tubo, and Wang Hua's regaining the stone castle was even more important to the Tang Dynasty. However, the king and his ministers felt a sense of air conditioning.

Li Xian sat on the dragon throne. It was obviously good news, but he felt that there was a gust of cold wind blew in the July Heaven Hall. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he didn't ask for it for a long time.

Zhang Shuo sighed in his heart. If it weren't for the Wei family's chaos, then there would be such an embarrassing situation today. Or if Wang Hua could get the support provided by the court, he might have really wiped out Tubo. No wonder he classified Tubo and the Turks as the central prefectures on the map. What a pity.

But in this way, no minister dared to take the initiative to send troops to Lingzhou and take back the Eight Prefectures from Wang Hua.

Similarly, the people were also confused. After all, the Tang Dynasty controlled the country's machinery and there was no clear statement in the court, so it was secretly asked officials from various prefectures to promote Wang Hua's plot to rebel against the country. But is Wang Hua's actions now a treacherous rebellion? Since he was defeated Tubo so miserably, he could not quickly expand the eight states? Since he was rebelling, why should he really provoke the powerful enemy of Tubo?

Wang Hua had thought about the reaction when the news spread, and what he wanted was this reaction.

Now he has arrived at the Stone Castle, and after he arrived, he also looked at it. The Stone Castle was said to be a city, but it is not as big as an ancient castle in Europe. It is not very big. Wang Hua doesn't know what it originally looked like, but he knows that it was just a military camp and a small city was built, but it is definitely not like this now.

Now there are neat rows of scrambled wares on the top of the city to prevent the enemy from shooting arrows from below. There is a round hole in the wares, which is used to shoot arrows downwards. This is an ordinary city wall structure. But there are three urns next to the city wall, and there are a row of twisted spiral ladders on the urns. This has a strong Tubo architectural flavor. It seems that it was built again after the Tubo occupation in the later period.

This tall urn city undoubtedly increases the lethality of the enemy when attacking.

Although it is not very big, its defense ability is already very strong.

In history, because the Tang Dynasty presented the Nine Qu to Tubo, Tubo once again handed over the stone castle to the Tang Dynasty, with Chiling as the boundary. However, later Tubo saw its geographical importance and took it back again, and the Tang Dynasty took it back again. Because of this construction, every battle was extremely fierce.

There are only two thousand soldiers in the Stone Castle, which is also the information that has been spying on for a long time, but it is not nervous because of the arrival of a powerful enemy.

This was caused by one person. When he heard Wang Hua's arrival, Ke Zanre immediately rushed from Dafeichuan and guarded him.

This is also a brave general, and Wang Hua is a little admired. But admiration does not mean that Wang Hua will let Ke Zanre go.

But Wang Hua did not attack the city, not as complicated as Di Dayan imagined. He had to siege the city head-on, how many soldiers would he have to pile up to take down the city. It is possible that after taking it down, half of his troops would be lost. Is this worth it? Does he really want to take down the stone castle, then capture Dafeichuan, and then capture Wuhai City. His brain is not bad!

However, he really has a way to get the Stone Castle, but he is useless.

After walking around, he ordered the only passage of the stone castle to block the stone castle. He couldn't even die. He set up a camp on this passage, and the passage led to the south. There was a stream not far away to provide water. Wang Hua did not recommend cutting off the water source of the stone castle. The stone castle contained a large amount of food. Although it was surrounded by mountains, the foundation was low-lying and humid, so it could be dug wells, which was enough to allow the soldiers and horses in the city to have edible water.

So Wang Hua did another thing, sending 10,000 soldiers across Chiling (Ra Moon Mountain), which was truly a place controlled by the Tubo people to the west. Then he started his action, from Yuchichuan (Daotanghe) to Moliyi, and Dafeichuan began to plunder the people and livestock.

There are a large number of Tuyuhun people living in this area. Now Tuyuhun people say in history books that it has truly destroyed the country. However, it also has a puppet regime. Tubo supported a Tuyuhun Khan, who only regarded himself as his nephew. Moreover, among the small tribes of Tubo, Tuyuhun Khan and subordinate officials are all protected by the Khans. Qiangu is very powerful, far better than Dangxiang people and Han people. Of course, the lowest status is Han officials, who are purely a toy.

This is like Wang Jingwei, who enslaved the Tuyuhun people through this puppet Khan. Therefore, the Tuyuhun people did not benefit from it. The tax was cruel. The tribute tax was more than 60% of the grain (mainly barley) produced. Because the tools were backward, sheep's backs were used. If the designated date came, it would be severely punished. Therefore, some people not only used sheep, but also used cattle to carry grain. This was just a tax. There was also military tax. Tuyuhun had to dispatch a large number of soldiers. Just like this time, Di Dayan sent troops to Shanzhou, not only transferred more than 4,000 strongest soldiers from Tuyuhun, but also transferred more than 6,000 people to work as laborers to pull grain.

So a large number of Tuyuhun people fled to the Tang Dynasty.

However, this area is rich in water and grass, and many people of all ethnic groups still live in it.

Wang Hua is aimed at these people.

One area after another. In fact, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Originally, most people wanted to escape from this sea of ​​suffering, but the Tubo people and their own Khan watched them very closely and could not escape. Now Wang Hua sent troops to cover up, and eight out of ten people were very happy.

This is also the credit of Wang Hua. Since Mo Hegan, he secretly took in a large number of Tuyuhun and Dangxiang fleeing people, and was also very nice to them, and he had almost no tax service. As for military service, it was almost common in this area. Mo Hegan transferred a large number of young and middle-aged people, but did not cause disgust. When Wang Hua arrived, he led the tide to the peak. Not only did he take in, but he also sent warriors from these tribes to secretly motivate him.

This caused many people to live in a difficult situation. They climbed up Chiling and looked at Linfan City (Huangzhong Duoba), Suirong City (South of Huangyuan County), Dingrong City (60 miles southwest of Linfan City, these three small satellite cities and Shancheng protect Shanzhou from the safety of Shanzhou) were dazed, thinking that there was a paradise.

Therefore, this time the capture is weird.

But Wang Hua was hitting Tuyuhun Khan's face with his hands.

There are many Tuyuhun people. Qinghai is far from Qinghai in later generations. Although the ice and snow are still the same, the water plants in most places are lush and the population density is no less than that in the Yinchuan Plain. There are more than two million people living from Dafeichuan to Jishishan. At the peak of the year, Tubo drew more than 200,000 troops from Tuyuhun and Dangxiang people to invade the Tang Dynasty.

But if you don’t capture people in so many places, why do you have to run across Chiling?

There is nothing else, because Tuyuhunya's tent is not far from the area where Wang Hua captured the people (the iron of the Republic of China is not stuck).

Tuyuhun Khan Mo He almost wanted to summon the army. Before Di Dayan could speak, he fought with Wang Hua alone. He was pulled down by the elders of the tribe. He only asked one question: "Khan, how many troops can you command?"

Mo He suddenly became angry after hearing this. Although Tubo supported the Tuyuhun Khan, the authentic Khan Nuohebo took thousands of tents to join the Tang Dynasty more than fifty years ago. The Tang Dynasty then placed them in Mingsha County, Lingzhou. Then, there were many people defecting, and everyone from the Tang Dynasty government also suffered, and they were broken up and placed in the Hexi Corridor. Now they are almost integrated with the Tang Dynasty.

However, Tuyuhun still has many tribes in Tubo territory. Although he was clearly a Khan of Tuyuhun, the orders issued were not as effective as those issued by the Tubo people because of the instructed by Tubo.

Now under Wang Hua's reputation, which tribe is willing to obey its own mobilization and fight with Wang Hua's desperately?

But he was still unwilling to let it go. If you fight with Dadi, why should you get it on my head? When you sent Princess Jincheng to get married, my mother and I led the crowd to welcome you and treated you warmly. Isn’t this clearly avenge your kindness?

He continued to roar like thunder.

At this time, his mother, Jibang, also grabbed him and said, "Mo He'er, please write a letter to Luoshecheng."

Not only his mother, Jibang also has a special identity, the princess of Tubo. It turns out that the Tubo people also learned this trick of the Tang Dynasty. But they learned it cleverly. I made money by marrying my daughter and enslaved them. However, the Tang Dynasty was seriously paying for marrying a daughter.

The old queen now saw that Di Dayan was not Wang Hua's opponent. If Wang Hua continued to toss, he might lose all the way from Jishishan to Dafeichuan. He and his son could become Wang Hua's prisoners. Not to mention that Wang Hua had really thought about this. It was not difficult to capture the Pure Khan of Tuyuhun and the Tubo princess. It was just that the reactions of Tuyuhun tribes were considered. He was afraid that it might arouse public anger, so he dispelled this idea.

He didn't really want to capture the people.

Why do the people come back when they are captured? He will not withdraw 60% of the taxes like the Tubo people. He also needs to find a place to resettle them, and may even be caught in a hurry and subsidize their temporary food. When he really wants the people, it is not now, but next year, next year, a large amount of farmland will be planted, and the food will not be tight, and large areas of land will be freed out. At that time, the more people captured will be better. If not now, it is not a good time at least.

This is for the final strategic goal.

The army swept for three or four days, and when they went there, there were 10,000 people, but when they came back, they reached more than 20,000. More than 10,000 people took them back to Shancheng, together with their livestock, tents and luggage, and handed them over to Mo Hegan to arrange.

But it was not over. After the army returned, they crossed Chiling again.

This information floated to Di Dayan's hands like snowflakes.

He couldn't understand it. Could it be that Wang Hua deliberately made a move to attack the east and west? He deliberately sieges the stone castle in a high-profile manner, but actually blocks the stone castle, and then secretly attacks Dafeichuan. Thinking of this, he broke out in cold sweat all over his body. Dafeichuan was originally a military camp, and after Tubo defeated Xue Rengui, he built a new city.

It is not big, there are not many people inside, but there are many food, grass, goods and weapons. Moreover, after taking over Dafeichuan, the stone castle becomes a dead city. It can point directly to Wuhai City in the south, and by the way, it can also capture Mo He and his son. Then I will have no way to hand in the work.

Or he was still trying to attack the east and the west, deliberately attacking the Shi Castle and Dafeichuan, but it was not, but the people were attacking the people. The speed of this capture was very fast. What was Wang Hua’s most lacking in his hands? People, others think that the people are a burden, but the people can play a huge role in his hands. This proves this in Qinzhou. With the people, there will be production, and with production, there will be supply. And the more people, the more troops he has. If he continues at this speed, he will be more captive than tens of thousands of people in a month, Wang Hua will be like a tiger.

It may not be so. But Wang Hua forced Dayan to Liangshan. He had to fight without fighting.

And Di Dayan heard another message, forcing him to the edge of the cliff where he fought to the death.

I originally thought that the stone castle was fine at least, but Wang Hua tinkered with something.

Originally, Wang Hua was preparing to make hot air balloons. There were mountains on three sides of the stone castle. People climbed to the top of the mountain, fixed the hot air balloon with ropes, and took advantage of the wind to raise it above the stone castle, and then threw explosives down to ensure that the soldiers in the stone castle had no morale.

It is terrible that people think of the great statue of Wu Sansi in Luoyang, but it is not a big deal. Isn’t he trying to clear his name now? It is not worth scaring the other party and destroying his entire long-term plan. Therefore, it is not launched.

But he introduced something, the glider is not like a glider, and the kite is not like a kite, sliding down from the top of the mountain. But it does not slide into the stone castle.

But people are not fools. Originally, the stone castle was difficult to attack and was guarding the front and surrounded by mountains on the other three sides. Now with this strange thing, as long as you quietly slide into the stone castle at night, you can still guard the fart city?

Watching the soldiers of the Blood Camp slide down the air, while sliding, and making fun screams. Ke Zan slid once and his scalp was numb. He was also scared. The soldiers were divided into two groups, guarding the city day and night, and igniting the torches at night to illuminate the sky.

But if Wang Hua can launch this strange thing, it will inevitably launch other strange and unexpected things. Regardless of Ke Zange's urge to defend the city, morale will plummet. Wang Hua has not attacked the city now. If he attacked the city, he may attack fiercely for several times, and the Tubo soldiers guarding the city can surrender. What will happen if he doesn't surrender? How many people survived by 10,000 Basong, and how many people survived by 10,000 Dayan?

When Da Yan heard this, his eyes turned green.

If this continues, regardless of whether Wang Hua deals with Dafeichuan or whether it is for the people, Shichengbao is no longer safe. He immediately ordered the soldiers to be recruited again, and in order to increase the weight of victory, he forcibly forced all troops to send soldiers.

After making the order, I felt very sad. It was like playing chess. The opponent could figure out your routine clearly. You didn't even know what chess you would play, but they had already calculated it. But I haven't seen what chess the other party played yet. Can this chess be played well?

Although he could still recruit at least 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and gain an absolute advantage in quantity. But Di Dayan felt that he had no idea. How could he not be sad?

Dayan's hair turned white at home, and Wang Hua continued his arrogant actions. Before the battle was fought, he gained more than 30,000 people. But Wang Hua was also very depressed. The more people were captured, the more they looked glorious, and he was arrogant in Tubo, and he was extremely coquettish.

Even after Lao Guo heard this in the Western Regions, he kept yelling at him. This kid is so awesome.

This is not the case. The people are getting rid of more and more people. If the court does not let go, shortage of food will immediately occur.

Another point is that they must be separated. I don’t know if it is due to the weather or other reasons. The people have plagues and livestock have plagues, which greatly damaged the vitality of Tubo. It has not stopped raging yet. These people and livestock have brought them back, so it is difficult to harm the nest and contaminate themselves.

But at this moment, Di Dayan dispatched and collected a total of 40,000 troops. At least in terms of quantity, the Tubo people had the advantage. Moreover, once the war broke out, the defenders of Shicheng Castle could still cooperate with each other like Liu Xiu and achieve great victory.

This is something on the surface, and Di Dayan didn't believe that Wang Hua couldn't see it. Therefore, he was very careful in marching along the way. He immediately crossed the river, which made the water drowning scared. He stopped immediately and sent countless scouts to the woods to observe, searched the corners, and then began to pass through the woods. This was what made Geshuhan afraid of. He also had to check the places where there were dead trees, rotten grass and dilapidated houses, which were for fear of fire.

Not only that, because explosives have been released, this thing is buried under the ground. I have to check whether the ground has been dug up all the way. The closer I get to the stone castle, I really find several suspicious places, so that the soldiers can dig the ground, but nothing is left.

The 40,000 troops were almost all cavalry, and they forced them to speed up infantry.

Can this battle be fought well?

It is safe to be safe, but before reaching the Stone Castle, the soldiers also fell sharply.

So the more gorgeous Yuchichuan Battle quietly sounded the curtain.

ps: It is possible that the third update today, if you have a ticket, you will smash it.
