Section 268 Death March

This piece of music was sent out a week after the previous one.,I didn't expect it to be just in time for the court pair of the previous one.。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Xue Yuanchao finished reciting, there was silence in the hall.

Xiu Mingren first pleaded guilty, showing that he had neglected before, and he didn't realize that Feng Xiaobao was the pillar of the country and the elite of the Tang Dynasty, although he was young, he was so experienced that he had defeated countless Tubo people (really countless).

In response to the first recital, he refuted himself personally:

1. Feng Xiaobao led his troops to fight for 3,000 miles, and he suffered heavy casualties, so he rested under Qiuzi City, not unwilling to fight!

Second, praising Feng Xiaobao is not bullying friendly troops, but full of wolf nature, competing for the first place, although not modest, but the army really needs such heroic spirit.

3. It is true that the troops are unable to cooperate with friendly forces because of excessive casualties.

Fourth, instead of attacking the city with cavalry, but with a mountain division on horseback to attack the city, the mountain division climbed the cliff like flat ground, and it was easy to break the city, and it had many reputations for the mountain division.

……

Inconsistent, Xiu Mingren is guilty of a big taboo.

If he does this, if the court disposes of him according to his previous note, and his next copy comes, where will the court be?

Therefore, Xiu Mingren pleaded guilty, saying that he would change his mistakes if he knew them, and he was very good, although he lost face, but he had to do it.

After that, I sent compensation: our army recovered Qiuzi City and beheaded 3,500 Tubo people!

Together with Feng Xiaobao's troops, the relationship is harmonious, Feng Xiaobao's department is the forerunner, marching according to the water source, and is marching towards Shule!

In addition, even if the imperial court wants to stab Xiu Mingren, it has to wait until the fight is over, and it is taboo to change generals in battle.

If he loses, what does it matter if there is one more sin or one less sin?

If he wins, what punishment can the court impose on a meritorious person?

Although the second reward to the imperial court made him lose face, he clearly understood Feng Xiaobao's ability, such a talent is not a thing in the pool after all. Even if you can give him a stumbling block here, it will be impossible to stop him for a lifetime after all. Such talents will have to rise sooner or later. It would take madness to form such a mortal enmity with him.

It's better to lose face now than to lose face in the future, and if you make a good calculation, you really deserve to be an old fox!

And the ministers shouted a fluke!

They are also old foxes, and they have no one to argue about what charges should be given to Feng Xiaobao for Xiu Mingren's impeachment, just fighting for who is in charge!

It's not an attack on Feng Xiaobao at all, it's a matter of facts, that's all.

After listening to the recital, Yuan Wanqing congratulated the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Feng Xiaobao was personally selected by His Majesty, otherwise, how can a young man who has not yet been weakly crowned be qualified to go to the border to make meritorious contributions, and then be awarded the position of general. ”

He congratulated the queen of heaven and said: "The queen of heaven is worthy of a break with the emperor and his wife, first the emperor raised Feng Xiaobao, and then the queen of heaven believed in it, and our army's great cause can be achieved!" ”

The emperor was a little ashamed, his face was slightly red, and the ministers' proposals, at first he also voted in favor, but he didn't expect the queen to insist on resisting, so he didn't make jokes.

……

The movement brings the relationship between people closer, Feng Xiaobao said a thousand ways and ten thousand, and the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate Mingren all squinted at him.

But he didn't expect a rugby game to be watched, and Xiu Mingren's opinion of him changed greatly.

The two cooperated, and Feng Xiaobao's troops also participated in the siege, and worked together with Xiu Mingren's troops to capture Qiuzi City.

There is nothing to seize, since the Tubo people have held on to the city, they have already transported all the valuable things, they are annoyed!

The two generals discussed and decided to jointly attack Shule Town, and Khotan, one of the four towns in Anxi, was closer to Tubo and waited for the last battle.

Feng Xiaobao's subordinates were 5,000, Xiu Mingren's troops were 20,000, leaving 5,000 to garrison Qiuzi, and the two armies were 20,000 people, and they went along the west of the river.

With Xiu Mingren's help, it's different, Feng Xiaobao doesn't know a few people in the Western Regions, and Xiu Mingren found him three guides!

In such a big place, there was no guide, and in the absence of GPS at that time, Ren Feng Xiaobao had the ability to reach the heavens, and he didn't want to go to Shule Town, let alone make any contributions.

The march in the desert is not easy, the sky is scorching and red like a fireball, violently projecting endless heat downward, roasting the ground temperature as high as fifty or sixty degrees!

The yellow sand blows people's faces, and the oncoming wind is dry and hot, like being in a burning pit, in Feng Xiaobao's words, we are being barbecued on the road!

The sea of sand is vast, the scenery is monotonous, and occasionally dotted with a few poplar trees, if it were not for the march of a large army, the journey of one person would be really crazy.

All the soldiers dressed themselves as Arabs and wore robes, which were the most suitable for the desert.

The long march, the supplies were poor, all were emaciated, the horses' concentrate feed was stagnant, and the best Hexi horses had to obediently feed on the nourished weeds along the river, and they lost weight badly, and they had little strength to run, and most of the horses collapsed.

When resting, they keep stretching out their big horse's head to their owners, hoping to get something delicious, and they are used to eating fragrant beans, but the owners have nothing to do!

On the contrary, the Mongolian horses in the same country were not so affected, and their speed dropped by less than 10 percent of the usual speed!

Because of the fact that they were dependent on water sources and had a supply of water and grass, Mongolian horses were not very picky about their diet, and their mobility did not decrease much (although their speed was not very fast).

"No wonder the Mongols were able to conquer the world in the first place!"

Mongolian horses are not picky about their diet, they will cut the snow and eat grass in winter, and they do not have high logistical requirements, they are mostly mares, eat wild grass, and provide mare's milk, although the taste is not good, it is better than not having to eat!

The wind and sand roll in the desert, covering the sky and the sun, but fortunately, you are traveling along the river and are not afraid of getting lost.

They encountered a terrible storm, and the yellow sand in the desert was flying horizontally, which was originally a clear blue sky, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was dark, and the sand dunes like small mountains were carried to the unknown place in the blink of an eye.

Under the power of the natural storm, the horses frightened the camp and scattered in all directions, unable to pull it, and even the camels of the ship of the sand sea were so frightened that they squatted on the ground, and they couldn't drag it no matter how they dragged it!

What's even more terrifying is that if people are unlucky and cover up the moving sand dunes, it will be difficult to find, and Feng Xiaobao has lost more than 100 people in this way!

Buried in the wind and sand, lost in the storm and missing.

The guide is still experienced, and he led the troops along the river in the sandstorm, walking against the wind and sand, and the wind and sand hit people so that they could not open their eyes and stand unsteadily, and everyone could only move inch by inch arm in arm.

If the horses refuse to go, they will be blindfolded with a cloth and taken away.

They are familiar with their owners and gently lead them around.

And the camels that accompanied the army would not leave even if they were blindfolded, and as a result, they lost three hundred camels in vain.

The guide led the way, and the troops finally found a place with relatively dense vegetation by the river, with their root system fixed, and the power of the wind and sand was much less, and the people were safe.

After taking it, the guide still said with palpitations: "These places are the safest, we used to encounter sandstorms, found a depression, but I didn't expect the sandstorm to move a big sand dune there, miserable, the entire caravan of hundreds of people and hundreds of livestock were buried alive, if I wasn't on the edge of the depression, almost life!" ”

The power of nature is really irresistible, people are insignificant, even if you will enter the picture in the future, hang the seal and seal the marquis, encounter a sandstorm, only resign yourself to fate!

After half a month of marching, the road became more and more populated, and Shule Town was almost here.

Before the Tang army could breathe a sigh of relief, just when the people were tired and thin, the elite tent soldiers of Tubo appeared! (To be continued.) )
