Chapter 235: A Different Style
Murong Xiaojun was Fu Yun's confidant general, and he was stationed in Niuxindui with two thousand Tuyuhun elite soldiers.
Murong is Tuyuhun's surname, Murong Xiaojun is also the leader of the Tianzhu First Division, one of the three tribes of Tianzhu, and last year attacked the people and horses of Liangzhou and other state capitals in the Tang Dynasty, one of which was led by Murong Xiaojun himself.
Niuxindui is close to the West Sea, which is a fertile place in Tuyuhun, and there is a salt pond nearby, so the strength of the Tianzhu is also considered to be a number in Tuyuhun.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Tuyuhun, and a tribe can have more than 10,000 people, even if it is a very large tribe.
"Shang Shu, this woolen sweater is really warm, to say that these Tang people are really ingenious and can turn wool into such comfortable clothes."
Niuxindui is a small earthen city, but most of the herders, including Murong Xiaojun, live on the surrounding grasslands.
These steppe peoples, although they are learning the things of the Central Plains Dynasty, always seem nondescript.
Tuyuhun also has official positions such as princes, servants, Shangshu, Langzhong, and generals, but unfortunately these official positions are more of a symbol and have nothing to do with their actual duties.
It's like Murong Xiaojun, the title of Shangshu, and even he doesn't know what he does.
"Haha, how can you be skillful? Haven't you become our prey yet? When the Khan retired from the army, he also reminded us to pay attention to vigilance, worried that the Tang army would attack, if these Han people dared to attack Niuxindui in the winter, then they would not have retreated after chasing near the royal city. ”
Murong Xiaojun has selectively forgotten that he fled in the desert last year under the pursuit of Duan Zhixuan.
In his opinion, whether it is the former Great Sui or the current Tang Dynasty, at most, they can go around the east of Tuyuhun, and the further west, the higher the terrain, the Han people can't even breathe well there, let alone fight.
At that time, the Great Sui set up four counties in honor and included Tuyuhun in the territory, in fact, only Heyuan County, which was closest to Liangzhou, was really managed by Sui Dynasty officials, and the other counties were not controlled by the Sui Dynasty, otherwise, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fu Yun would not have been able to regain the lost territory so simply.
"What Shangshu said is that on this cold day, you should eat meat and drink wine in the big tent."
"Hehe, don't forget that this Han woman is also the most suitable for enjoying in winter."
After Murong Xiaojun finished speaking, he pulled the woman who was tremblingly serving him to drink on the side into his arms......
Whether it is Tuyuhun, Turkic, or other Hu people, attacking the prefectures and counties of the Central Plains Dynasty, they will take a group of people back to take them back, and the men will be used as slaves and the women will be ......
Also slaves.
……
There is a mountain more than ten miles away from Niuxindui, the mountain is not high, and there are no trees, in fact, it is more like a huge convex hull.
Li led the forward battalion and came to the back of the mountain.
"Lord Wang, around the city of Niuxindui, there are tents densely packed, and some people and horses are walking around outside from time to time, it seems that the Tuyuhun people have not received the news of our arrival."
After Zhu Fufu got off the hot air balloon, he immediately reported the situation to Li Kuan.
"Lord Wang, do you need to go to Niu Xindui to inquire about the news?"
Su Lie showed a worried look on his face, the Tianzhu is a large tribe with a large number of Tugu, there are many elite cavalry, and there are three or four thousand people in the forward battalion, although it may not be able to defeat them, but if it is a miserable victory, it will be meaningless.
It is unknown whether they will be able to escape back to Datang at that time.
"Lord Wang, the leader of the first part of Tianzhu is Murong Xiaojun, my subordinates have heard of his name when they were in Liangzhou before, and it is said that he is a fierce general with excellent archery skills. Are we waiting for the Grand Governor's army to arrive, and then attack with absolute superiority? ”
Xi Junmai was also a little worried, he was not worried about his own safety, but he was afraid that Li Kuan would have an accident in this kind of chaotic army.
If the forward battalion wants to attack this tribe, it must attack with the whole army, so the situation will inevitably be chaotic.
"No, there is no time to lose. Murong Xiaojun must not have imagined that we would be staying in the snow more than ten miles away from him now, if we continue to wait for the arrival of the army, it is very likely that they will receive the news, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to sneak attack. On this expedition, we must not only defeat Tuyuhun, but also minimize our own losses as much as possible. ”
Li Kuan looked at the map while thinking about how to deal with the tribe in front of him.
To defeat them, Li Kuan had many ways.
However, in order to achieve victory at the minimum cost, and to delay the receipt of the news of the Tang invasion by Tuyuhun King City as much as possible, this requires some consideration.
Li Kuan: "Dingfang, do you think that if the forward battalion moves five miles further, will the Tuyuhun people find out?" ”
"Lord Wang, if you continue to move forward, you will basically reach the edge of the visible vision on the wall of the Niuxindui, if you are lucky, you may be able to hide from them for a day or two, but after a long time, it will definitely be exposed."
Su Lie thought for a while before answering cautiously.
"Good! The forward battalion continued to advance, and after dark it moved five miles forward, after which the whole army was encamped and rested on the spot. Li Kuan took a breath and began to arrange the task, "Rengui, you take a hundred of the king's personal guards, all of them change into white cloaks, move to the outside of Niuxindui City before three o'clock tonight, and according to the night combat mode of the previous training, you can enter the camp of the Tuyuhun people at night and carry out the beheading operation. If that fails, they light the oil and burn down all the tents, creating chaos and taking the opportunity to escape. ”
"Lord Wang, these guards are dedicated to protecting your safety, if I take them all away, what will you do?"
As soon as Xue Li heard that Li Kuan wanted to let the guards take him away, he immediately objected.
"This king is in the army, what danger can there be, besides, there are Xuanwu and Jun to buy them, you can go with confidence."
"Lord Wang, when the last general followed the chief to attack the Eastern Turks, he once led the crossbowmen on both sides to touch the tooth tent of Jieli Khan, or tonight's action, I will personally lead the team, right?"
Su Lie could naturally see how meaningful tonight's action would be if it was successful; But for such an action, Li Kuan arranged it for his own guards, and Su Lie was a little worried.
It's a life-and-death mission.
Not only must the generals who lead the team have enough courage, but everyone below can't drop the chain, otherwise everyone will finish playing together.
"Dingfang, don't worry. After the camp of the Tuyuhun people is in chaos, this king arranges for you to be the first to lead troops to storm the camp, which will definitely make you happy. ”
The famous Su Dingfang, Li Kuan naturally won't let it go, otherwise why would he have worked so hard to transfer him to his side?
It's just that when carrying out special operations, Li Kuan still trusts his own escorts.
It was a hundred people carefully selected by Xue Li from more than a thousand guards according to the special operations training method he had organized.
To put it mildly, at this moment, they are the most powerful special forces.
