Chapter 1089: The Beginning of the Feint (Third Update)
The night passed, and the sky was bright!
"Drive, drive!" Ten fast horses galloped on the road, and they were less than thirty miles away from where Guo Zhiyun was, but there were no horses to replace them now.
They had to change horses and it would take some time for them to arrive.
At the same time, another large force of 3,000 men was also running, one man and four horsemen.
They did not find a post station to change horses on the road, and let the horses rest for an hour every day, and people also took the opportunity to rest.
This is the flying horseman, and they have left the men of the five thousand and sixteen guards far behind.
Their horses are better, and so are they.
Hao Lingquan took five thousand people, one person and two horses, and they couldn't get up quickly, and they also brought some supplies to the front.
On the way, feeding the horses is to find a post station, ten miles and a post, in one post station part of the horse eats, to the next post station, the other part of the horse eats.
The people at the post station are about to cry, they have been too busy lately.
They didn't have enough forage, so they asked the people to help send it and give them money.
The people knew that there was a war ahead, and grain and salt were charged at normal prices.
When delivering concentrate, bring a large bundle of grass by the way, and don't need money.
Because when they go out to the inn, they also eat brown bread and drink soup for free.
Datang is at war, and the post station is in need, so he will do a small favor.
"This big bundle of grass can exhaust my grandfather and my grandfather, give it to you." A man in his forties brought his son in his twenties to deliver grass to the inn.
As soon as the morning dawned, they went to mow the grass with their sickles, tied the bundles, and walked to the post station step by step on their backs.
"Feng Lao Wu, I wrote it down, in the future, when you send letters and things, I won't charge you money, I'll write it clearly in the account, and you press a handprint."
The pavilion chief of the post station took the book of statistics.
Feng Lao Wu shook his head: "No, who knows if you will charge less money under normal circumstances, and then use your handprints to top it, so you will be greedy for ink." ”
He pointed out that the other party should charge two dollars, and told those who had never sent grass to charge one money, but they needed to press a fingerprint.
In this way, the pavilion chief can leave a piece of money for himself, give things for free, and speak with his handprint when reporting to the top.
"What can I do? If you are discovered, you will lose your head. The pavilion chief was full of grievances.
He now has a high income, and the post station is very strict.
And it is said that there is a calculation method on the above to be able to know which post station is not in the right situation.
If you have a good income, why do you want to kill your head?
"How do I know if you don't do it, you keep the grass, my grandfather and I don't want to send grass to the post station, and I don't want to benefit." Feng Lao Wu still shook his head.
"Dad, didn't you say that if we win the war, let's eat mutton cheaply in the future?" Feng Lao Wu's son suddenly spoke up beside him.
"Just you talk a lot." Feng Lao Wu patted his son on the head and turned to leave.
The pavilion chief saw the father and son go away, and wrote: Feng Laowu sent six loads of grass, and the other people sent more than 1,000 loads of grass in total, and the forage of this post was sufficient.
After writing, he found a simple envelope and sealed it, and handed it to the post man: "Send it out, go to the next post station, and enter Chang'an." ”
"Great!" The post man carried the letter in his arms, did not go to ride at all, drank a few sips of soup, and ran all the way to the next post station at a normal speed.
It's only ten miles away, just run and get there, rest and run back.
Things are not in a hurry, waiting for the information from one post station to be transmitted, and there will be saved for a few days and sent to Chang'an on a donkey.
The people at the post station were reluctant to use livestock, in case there was an emergency, they needed livestock, and delaying time was delaying the military situation.
……
As the sun grew higher and the sun gradually moved towards the middle, the ten men who had reported the news finally arrived.
"Report! Chang'an Emergency. A courier was sent to Guo Zhiyun.
Ten people were carried to rest, and the horses began to be released from school and fed.
"Li Yi ordered us to wait for a feint." Guo Zhiyun finished reading it and handed it to Zhang Zhongliang.
Zhang Zhongliang swept it and gave the letter to Wang Junkui: "Zhang Xiaosong is here, take me a hot air balloon, I thought he would rush over to meet us." ”
After reading it, Wang Junkui folded the letter: "It seems that Zhang Xiaosong ran away again and fought alone." ”
"Feint, don't take Zhang Xiaosong into account, you have to take him into account, be ready to launch a real attack at any time, as long as it doesn't rain at night, the hot air balloon will always rise into the sky."
Guo Zhiyun understood, Zhang Xiaosong ran out to look for opportunities, and Li Yi didn't want Zhang Xiaosong to be counted here.
Are there things that you don't want to calculate and don't calculate? In case Zhang Xiaosong sneaks up at night, he has to cooperate with the attack.
When you see friendly troops moving, but you want to help you across the river, don't you say that you are stupid?
Zhang Zhongliang followed and said: "Don't worry about it elsewhere, keep an eye on this part of Tashi Kure, as long as you suddenly move in a panic, or retreat, immediately cross the river and attack." ”
After the three of them finished their discussions, they began to deploy.
One by one, the newly made rafts were thrown into the water and tied with ropes, and more cavalry dragged the rafts over.
Smoke rose from the camp, and various supplies were piled up on the riverbank.
The horses that delivered the orders were running, and whenever they came to the riverside military fortress where the two sides had gathered their forces to confront each other, the military fortress carried things forward, and at the same time the raft was launched.
The number of rafts is actually not enough, and the Tibetans do not know.
Every time they saw that the Datang military village had taken action, they immediately sent fast horses to report the news.
The entire place of confrontation was several hundred miles long, and the two sides had 200,000 soldiers at the same time.
Among the 200,000, the number of contributions contributed by the Tang Dynasty was greater than that of Tibet.
Shu Di is constantly sending things to the front, and the first batch of steamers in Chang'an has not yet arrived.
When the first ships arrive, they will be able to connect.
"Build a post station, from here to the post station in Longyou, the same ten miles and one post, the horse can't run anymore."
After lunch, Guo Zhiyun and the four of them came out to see the soldiers burying a horse.
There was blood on the horse, and it was bled out.
He was still alive and drinking water when he bled out, but he couldn't hold it up and eventually collapsed.
The soldiers did not want to eat, so they began to dig pits to bury the horses.
Seeing this, Guo Zhiyun felt sad and ordered to build more post stations according to Datang's methods.
Qin Li went over and picked up the military shovel and helped bury the horse together.
Shovel after shovel fell on the horses, and some soldiers turned their heads.
Over there, another group of people from Shu came over, and some people were pushing wheelbarrows and humming tunes.
Guo Zhiyun didn't look at the horse, and said loudly: "We have won this war, and the imperial court will use all the forces at its disposal to send us things."
Look at the present, the brothers in Shu have pushed things over directly, have they encountered such logistical support before? ”
The soldiers around them puffed up their chests, and they were proud.
It's really the first time that someone has been beaten to the front line, and when I sent out the troops, I thought I was carrying something, and then I cooperated with the right section to give things.
Then find a way to solve the problem on the spot, and the baggage in the back can be sent after a while.
Who would have thought that the military resources would be endless, and now it is Shudi to pick up, and then there will be ships arriving one after another.
The battle has reached this level, and if you can't win it again, you won't have the face to live.
"Don't just watch, go and help." Wang Junkui shouted, didn't you see that people were tired of pushing carts?
