Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Li Jing personally led three thousand elite horsemen to leave Mayi and went to Evil Yang Ridge first.
The army followed and also advanced in the direction of Dingxiang.
Dingxiang is of great significance to Datang.
It's a long story.
In that year, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yu Wenhua in Jiangzhou, and the son of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Yang Hui, King of Qi, and his two sons were also killed. However, this Qi King Yang Jian also has a posthumous son called Yang Zhengdao.
In the second year of Wude, Dou Jiande defeated Yu Wenhua, and Yang Zhengdao and his grandmother, Emperor Xiao of Sui, fell into the hands of Dou Jiande. At that time, although all the anti-kings were divided and each claimed the emperor, Yang Zhengdao was still orthodox in the former Sui Dynasty, so Dou Jiande named Yang Zhengdao as the Duke of Yun.
In February of the third year of Wude, under the impetus of Princess Yicheng of Sui, who was married to the Turkic Khan in her early years, Luo Khan, the Turkic Khan, sent an envoy to Dou Jiande to welcome Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to the Turks. Although Dou Jiande was quite reluctant, the Turks were very powerful back then, and most of these anti-kings in the Central Plains were friendly with the Turks for the sake of stability in the rear and for the help of the Turks, and even became vassals. Therefore, although Dou Jiande was unwilling, he also had to hand over Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to the envoy of Chuluo Khan.
After Chu Luo Khan integrated Yang Zhengdao and Empress Xiao into the Turkic territory, he established Yang Zhengdao as the king of Sui, and then allocated all the officials and people of the Central Plains who remained in the territory of the ****** to Yang Zhengdao to govern and restore the "Great Sui" regime, which is the Later Sui in history. Yang Zhengdao set up hundreds of officials, all in accordance with the Sui Dynasty system. It is like a ****** living in this Dingxiang County, with more than 10,000 people.
It is said that it is "Great Sui", but in fact it is just a small puppet under the control of the Turks, and it is ugly to say, like a troupe. is showing the Turks what the Sui Dynasty looks like.
"The chief manager only led 3,000 men and horses, and now it is bitterly cold weather, and the Evil Yang Ridge is extremely sinister, which is really worrying." Su Dingfang rode on the horse, stared at the direction where Li Jing had gone first, and sighed.
"It is precisely because the chief manager personally led the men and horses to go that General Su should be more relieved." Xia Hongsheng smiled beside him: "The chief manager has attacked so far, how can there be any defeats?" Hehe, in my opinion. Maybe the chief manager doesn't need to wait for us to keep up with the support, and he will already take Dingxiang. ”
"Yes, Dingfang doesn't have to worry. Senior Brother Yao personally went out, and the Turks had no choice but to add their butts and run away. Wei Chigong laughed and said, "If you want to say who is the general in this army, that Senior Brother Yao is definitely the first!" However, how did you assert that Senior Brother Yao could take Dingxiang with those 3,000 cavalry without our support? ”
Xia Hongsheng grinned: "Guess." The last general is just a guess. ”
"Fart!" Wei Chigong snorted: "General Ben still doesn't know about you kid?" Your kid has a bad stomach, and his words are never unfounded. Don't think you can hide it! Say it! ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled, he couldn't tell them that this was what happened in history. Li Jing personally led three thousand elite cavalry to occupy the Evil Yang Ridge and raided Dingxiang, and the frightened Jieli hurriedly fled, and there was no resistance at all!
So Xia Hongsheng had no choice but to say: "The intention of the chief manager to personally lead the troops to Dingxiang must have been guessed by the two of you before." The last general will be ordered by the Grand Governor. Rumors spread among Dingxiang, saying that the Tang Dynasty had a total of 300,000 troops pressing Dingxiang, and the famous generals of the DPRK and China poured out of the nest and pounced together. This news that I don't know if it's true or false first caused panic in Dingxiang, and the people who made trouble were panicked. I don't know if it's true or not. There must be some who believe and some who don't. At this time, the chief manager led the troops to appear, and the Turks in Dingxiang County saw that even famous generals like Li Jing were just a pioneer, and they actually led such a small number of men and horses to kill in person, so they must have been convinced of this rumor. will fall into the trap of the chief manager, as the chief manager expected, thinking that there must really be those 300,000 troops and countless famous generals of the Tang Dynasty behind these 3,000 elite horsemen. In this way, where there is still some resistance, they will only flee quickly. ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Wei Chigong stroked his palm and smiled: "Senior Brother Yao is exactly such an intention, if you can make the Turks in Dingxiang County panic, then it would be great!" ”
For Li Jing to attack Dingxiang with only 3,000 cavalry, Xia Hongsheng was not worried. Even if the Tang Army has not improved at all in history, then according to history, Li Jing easily won Dingxiang. Not to mention, the current Tang Army is not what it used to be. Today's Tang Army has more abundant and powerful equipment, so its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. If the original Tang Army was good at winning more with less and could kill three people with the strength of one person, then the current Tang Army will better play the characteristic of winning more with less, and it is not a problem to kill more than ten people with the power of one person.
"Two generals, it's not early, isn't it time to stop cooking?" Su Dingfang looked at the sky and asked.
Xia Hongsheng looked at Wei Chigong, Wei Chigong looked at the sky, and nodded: "It's okay, I have traveled a lot of miles in a hurry today, pass on my general order, station on the spot, make a fire to make food, and travel for an hour after dinner!" ”
Wei Chigong's general order was passed down, and the army was stationed in place and began to cook on the fire.
Xia Hongsheng wanted to go to the back to see the military cadets and those Taoist priests, so he said goodbye to Wei Chigong, and Su Dingfang wanted to inspect the army, so he went with Xia Hongsheng.
"Lie has heard the name of General Xia for a long time, and the armament in this army is said to have been created by General Xia. And General Xia single-handedly established the military academy, and after two years, everyone no longer looked down on our brothers in the army, and when they heard that they were soldiers in the army, they all gave a thumbs up and praised them. Lie has admired it for a long time, and now he has to meet him, he has been anxious about things in the army these days, but he has not been able to meet General Xia well. On the way, Su Dingfang said to Xia Hongsheng.
He has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows the changes that Xia Hongsheng's actions in military affairs have brought to the army and soldiers, and his words come from the heart.
"General Su is too outward." Xia Hongsheng smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Don't hide it from General Su, I have always admired the generals in the army who can fight well, but I have long heard of the name of Su Lie and Su Dingfang. Now that I see it, he is really a general, and in time, General Su must also be the mainstay of my Tang Army! ”
"Don't dare." Su Dingfang smiled modestly, and there was a Confucian demeanor when he spoke.
Su Dingfang asked about the situation one by one along the way, and the general knew the situation well. Xia Hongsheng just followed along the way, secretly observing this future pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
The two of them walked around, and in the end, the cadets of the military academy were also making fires and cooking at the moment, and those Taoist priests were also helping.
"I've been curious for a long time these days." Seeing this, Su Dingfang asked, "But I don't know why General Xia brought some Taoist priests with the army?" ”
