Chapter 361: Breaking through Helan Mountain
Chapter 361 Breaking through Helan Mountain
For four days, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were still fiercely entangled in the matter of fighting with Affinity, but fortunately, several bigwigs such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not join this controversy. It was almost evening, in the imperial study of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked at the map in front of him and frowned constantly. This time, there were really a lot of people present, and almost several important ministers were summoned to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, if it is really as Fang Jun said, then you have to take precautions, it is not enough to be in Yuanzhou and Xiazhou, and you must also send a proud force to Liangzhou. If the Lu Khan succeeds, it is most likely to advance eastward to Helan Mountain, backed by the Maliu River and Baihenghai, so that Liangzhou will become the closest place to the Turkic army! Fang Xuanling was the first to express his opinion, since Li Mu came to Shangshu Province, Fang Xuanling had already discussed it with Du Ruhui and others.
The eldest grandson Wuji has already given up the dream of harmony at this time, he is not a fool, if he can't see the tricks of the Turks until now, then he, the old man of the court, doesn't need to go now. Stroking his beard, the eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what Xuan Ling said is very true, and now we must make the most complete preparations, but, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not appropriate to be persecuted at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and this battle can still be avoided." ”
"Yes, what the auxiliary machine said is very much in line with my intentions, I have already ordered Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to stay still, as long as Long Huwei can safely withdraw to Lingzhou, they will not march to Helan Mountain" Li Shimin lowered his head and thought for a while, pointed to Liangzhou City and asked, "Do you think Aiqing should send anyone to Liangzhou?" ”
"Your Majesty, the person stationed in Liangzhou should be Mao Gong!" Du Ruhui arched his hand.
"Okay, then it's hard for Mao Gong to go!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and now the two most reassuring handsome talents in the court are Li Ji and Li Xiaogong. Now that I think about it, maybe it's really time to train young people, and how long can Li Ji and Li Xiaogong last. Li Shimin's first thought is Fang Yiai, he is still very optimistic about this son-in-law, but this guy always causes trouble for him, take this time the soldiers went out of Helan Mountain, and now the court is still going to the dragon and tiger guard to exercise, if the truth is known, the impeachment of Fang Yiai for the crime of privately transferring troops and complicity in rebellion is still flying all over the sky, which has done a lot of things for Fang Yiai to wipe his ass, but this time is the most depressed.
For the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also remembers a lot in his heart, in addition to Fang Yiai and Su Dingfang, the two more prominent, there are also Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai who emerged in the Battle of Tubo, there are really a few handsome people in the future, but there are not many people who play with books, and now Li Shimin has found a Liu Renliang, and fortunately, he was pulled by Fang Yiai to be a staff officer. Li Shimin thought about it for a while, so he had to hammer the table hatefully, "Bastard boy, wait for you to come back, see how I fix you!" ”
Long Huwei marched all the way, this group of strong men didn't have any, but Liu Renliang suffered, even if he was a civil official, he couldn't stand Long Huwei's way of marching even if he rode on a horse, he was walking when he ate, Liu Renliang had never suffered like this in his life. After looking at Fang Yiai, who was full of energy in front of him, Liu Renliang had a stomach full of bitter water, and after eight lifetimes of blood mold with such a master, His Majesty finally knew that his son-in-law had no intention of rebelling, otherwise he would be able to make Fang Yiai fall into a place of no return.
"Give, Counselor Liu, bear with me, after Huaiyuan, it will be Helan Mountain" For this Liu Renliang, Fang Yiai is a different eye, this is what he wants to use The Kotou Military Division, how can he be in Longhuwei for two months, this old man is stunned and doesn't give a word. But Fang Yiai is not in a hurry, this Liu Renliang does not bow his head, just consume with him first, anyway, he still has a Li Yifu in his hand, it is really not good, so he transferred Li Yifu from Zuo Wuwei to be a long history.
"General Fang, Liu is really convinced, this Dragon and Tiger Wei is really extraordinary!" Liu Renliang still sincerely admires Long Huwei, and what he said is also very sincere, although Fang Yiai is a little inhumane, but he can't deny Long Huwei's toughness, this is two days from Lishan to Lingzhou, you must know that this is by two legs.
"What is this, haha" Fang Yiai patted his chest with a proud look, this twenty-kilometer cross-country run is a homework that Long Huwei must practice every day, can these hundreds of miles of road stump Long Huwei? It was a night march, and the sergeants were a little sleepy, and after Huaiyuan all the way to the west, Helan Mountain was in front of them.
Standing at the foot of Helan Mountain, looking at the lonely mountain in the distance, the water is full of eyes. For some reason, Fang Yiai suddenly thought of Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong", "stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain, ambitious and hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood", what kind of pride is this, crossing Helan Mountain, pointing at the northwest wolf, unlike Yue Wumu, Fang Yiai has a little more self-confidence, because there is no Jingkang shame now, and some are just the famous name of the Tang Dynasty.
"Counselor Liu, what kind of scene do you say will be in the west of Helan Mountain?" Fang Yiai dismounted and stood on the ground, the Tang knife was the ground, the northwest wind of hunting was blowing from Helan Mountain, and the red cloak was constantly flying, just like the blood-colored curtain. Liu Renliang suddenly had a kind of realization, it turned out that Fang Yiai at this time was the real young general, a man who could still smile like a spring breeze in the face of every step of the killing.
"Back to the young general, the lower officials don't think it matters what there is in the west, the important thing is that it is the land of my Tang Dynasty!" Liu Renliang bowed happily and convincingly, this was the first time he sincerely saluted Fang Yiai, he always felt that Fang Yiai was unreliable in doing things, but now he understands why Zuo Wuwei's people respect him so much. In Liu Renliang's view, Fang Yiai is a real general, as long as he stands here, he can give everyone great confidence.
"Okay, what Counselor Liu said is right, the land of my Datang should be governed by my Datang! Xiang Shuo, the order, the whole army stationed on the spot, buried the pot to make rice, rested for the night, and stationed in Helan Mountain in the morning. In addition, there are many scouts, and Ben will know the specific situation of Buzhen and Mi Jie before the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Whoa!" Xiang Shuo gave up, seeing that Fang Yiai was arranged so properly, Liu Renliang also had to be convinced, it seems that His Majesty attaches so much importance to Fang Yiai, and it is not unreasonable.
In the evening, the Dragon and Tiger Guards did a good job of defense work in an orderly manner, and without the orders of Fang Yuai, each battalion would consciously enter the predetermined position. Before the meal, Liu Renliang also intended to observe in the camp, and after watching Long Huwei's camping method, Liu Renliang couldn't help but show a trace of admiration. The way of camping this dragon and tiger guard is different from that of other guards, in addition to putting on an ordinary formation, the sentinels of the dragon and tiger guard are sent far away, and many hidden traps are built on the periphery, what mouse traps, ground thorns, iron nails, everything, the most hateful thing is that the dragon and tiger guard soldiers also tie bells in the grass and hidden places, this kind of defensive measures, Liu Renliang who saw it broke out in a cold sweat. As for the iron bucket array set up by the Dragon and Tiger Guards, not to mention that the Turks touched the camp, it is estimated that they were discovered before they got close to a hundred zhang.
Long Huwei's food is very simple, how can this rapid march bring too much baggage, like ordinary soldiers, Fang Yiai is eating with a bowl of rice porridge and radish gnocchi, in vain Liu Renliang thinks he is well-informed, and he has never seen the main general of the first army eat this thing, this Fang Yiai is like this, Liu Renliang is embarrassed to make any requests, so he has to accompany Fang Yiai to eat pickle gnocchi.
"Major General Qiyu, Lingzhou Metropolitan Governor Zhao Wenran is asking to see you outside!"
After listening to Qin Hu's words, Liu Renliang put down his rice bowl and said with a faint smile, "Young General, it seems that His Majesty's holy decree has arrived in Lingzhou, so the young general can also save a lot of trouble." ”
"Hehe, then borrow Counselor Liu's auspicious words, Uncle Hu, let Zhao Wenran come in!" For Zhao Wenran, the governor of Lingzhou, Fang Yiai did not have a deep impression, but remembered that Liu Renliang mentioned that this Zhao Wenran was Li Xiaogong's old department, born in the right leading guard, and I heard that he was also the son-in-law of the Dugu family.
Zhao Wenran soon entered the Chinese army's big tent under the leadership of Qin Hu, and at this time, Fang Yiai had already asked the guards to take the dishes and chopsticks away. Fang Yiai sat in front of the desk and took a cursory glance at Zhao Wenran, this Zhao Wenran was thirty-one or twelve years old, tall, but his face was slightly quieter.
"The last general, the governor of Lingzhou, the general of the right leading army and the right battalion, Zhao Wenran, see General Fang!" Although Fang Yiai is young, Zhao Wenran does not dare to be disrespectful, you must know that this Dragon and Tiger Guard belongs to the establishment of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, strictly speaking, this Northern Ya Guard General is higher than the position of the Twelve Wei Generals of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army. Coupled with the identity of Fang Yi's beloved horse, Zhao Wenran was a little afraid in addition to respect.
"General Zhao is exempt, I believe that you are also clear about the purpose of Helan Mountain in this future, if there are no other problems, please also ask General Zhao to lead the Lingzhou Guard into Helan Mountain!" Listening to Fang Yiai's words, Zhao Wenran frowned slightly, "Yes, the last general has received His Majesty's will, but General Fang, is the last general going to garrison the whole army in Helan Mountain?" ”
"Of course, General Zhao, do you think you can still hold Lingzhou if you lose Helan Mountain?" Fang Yiai smiled faintly, at this time, he only needed Lingzhou guards to help him defend the retreat of Helan Mountain, if Helan Mountain was lost, only those 10,000 Lingzhou guards would not be able to defend Lingzhou. In this case, it is better to concentrate all the troops in the dangerous area of Helan Mountain.
"Yes, the last general will give the order, and the last general will go back to the city to transfer troops!" Zhao Wenran didn't say anything more, although he had some opinions about Fang Yiai's arrangement, but he still took the order and left.
Zhao Wenran came and went quickly, and now everything Li Shimin can do has been done, and the rest depends on his beloved. (To be continued.) )
