Chapter 250: Wan Guan Assists the Army

The goddess of Qiangshui helped her husband not only defend Wuzhou, but also turned Wuzhou into a fortified city.

Not only that, from the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers in Wuzhou, a steady stream of fierce generals were exported to Zhang Yichao's rebel army, and a steady stream of help troops were exported from Wuzhou.

Only in August of the second year of Dazhong (848), by the end of the year, there were more than 10 large and small looting and attacks of Tubo soldiers in Wuzhou, with two or three hundred people in small groups and more than 1,000 people in large groups, none of which returned in complete victory, and sixty or seventy percent of the Tubo soldiers were completely killed.

A seemingly messy Wuzhou city has become a strong fortress for the Tang court in the west. That's the importance of strategy, but where does strategy come from? Of course, it shows the importance of talent. Where does the talent come from?

Many people think that they need Jiang Ziya's three Tao and six strategies, Zhuge Liang's astronomy and geography, and Sun Tzu's Art of War, but You Yang was born in a merchant and uses the thinking of a peddler. You can also pull his method into the Seven Books of the Martial Arts, but the peddler's thinking can't be applied to any of the hundred schools of thought.

Wuzhou is strong, not only becoming a source of soldiers, but also becoming a contact station for many wealthy businessmen in the Tang Dynasty to support Zhang Yichao's righteous army, which has become Zhang Yichao's strong rear, and his wife and brother Song Wei and brother-in-law You Yang are his nobles. Old Taishan's home in Wuzhou is his inexhaustible source of soldiers and money.

So, in August of the second year of junior high school, Shazhou Ganquan flooded Song Chenjun, what happened?

At that time, Shazhou City had been taken for more than seven months, and it had basically become Zhang Xiong's forward base. Although it was difficult to communicate with the imperial court, Zhang Xiong used the method of proclaiming himself to be the secretary of the Tang Dynasty's military department, and gathered many heroes, monks and soldiers, and Tang people.

The heroes gathered from all over the country were organized into the army, the outstanding ones were the captains, and the righteous brothers from all over the country were the generals, and they were equipped and trained. The practice of combining farming with warfare not only did not miss the agricultural time, but also strengthened training, and gradually formed a strong force capable of resisting the large Tibetan army.

Beginning in June of this year, Zhang Xiong began to regain Yizhou and Xizhou in the north of Shazhou, and Guazhou and Suzhou in the east of Shazhou.

The Shazhou guards are mainly based on Li Chong, the tenth brother of the Twelve Heroes of Liaohuang, Song Chen of the old Taishan is the deputy, and the eight brothers of the Twelve Heroes of Liaohuang are Zhang Yun, the old Suojiao, Song Kai, the first male of Fengxian, and the Tubo general Dorjee Solang are the four guards and capture.

It needs to be specially explained here, Song Chen's Wuzhou army of 3,000 people was divided into fifteen teams for half a year, and if there was no sufficient military salary as a guarantee, they would not be able to reach the sandbank at all, and the people would run out.

How far is it from Wuzhou to Shazhou? 2,500 miles.

On the way to the northwest of Wuzhou, the Danzhou, Minzhou, Taozhou, Hezhou, Shanzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou that passed through in turn were all controlled by the Tubo people. Where do you go to rest, where do you eat, how do you feed the horses, and so on, you need a lot of money to support you in order to complete the expedition.

Let's not talk about food, shelter and grass, just the decoration and supplies, each person will get 300 yuan, and 3,000 people will get 900,000 yuan, that is, 900 yuan.

The march is 2,500 miles, alternating according to the pace of horses, walking 250 miles a day, and after walking in ten days, it is necessary to pay for food and shelter and grass, and one person with one horse needs 100 wen a day, and ten days of consistent money. Three thousand people rushed to Shazhou, and another three thousand people. There were 2,000 more people along the way, and another 2,000. The grain and grass subtotal is 5,000 yuan.

Small fights along the road to deal with emergencies, healing, weapons damage and replenishment, war horses died in battle, sickness and death, unpredictable miscellaneous branches, 5,000 people to Shazhou, at least 4,000 more preparations.

To sum up, there are 5,000 people in Shazhou, and you can't get to the place without 10,000. After saying so much, a question arises, how did Song Chen and these people go on an expedition to Shazhou, where did this 10,000 yuan come from?

The previous document has revealed that it was precisely because of An Zhi's assistance that Song Chen's Wuzhou army could go to Shazhou. This is an army that adheres to regular training all year round and has rich practical combat experience, and it has provided a large coaching team for his son-in-law Zhang Xiong.

In the first month of this year, Zhang Xiong Shazhou rebelled, and Wu Ning Nan You Tong and Wu Ning County Jun Anzhi got the news from Qingzhou. Why did they know so quickly?

Zhang Xiong told them at the gathering of the Twelve Heroes of Liaohuang a year ago that they had arranged for the new year, and they used the information transmitted by Song Kai and Suo Jiao. It's not as complicated as playing the Son of Heaven, so it's already known in less than half a month.

The 13th Huangfu Oil Farm General urgently consulted and prepared sufficient funds to go to Wuzhou to help the army. Without the addition of the Wuzhou Army, relying solely on the gathering of heroes and heroes, without regular military management, it will quickly collapse. Therefore, it is the best way for the Wuzhou Army to dispatch urgently.

The other knots in the west near Longyou have little communication with Zhang Xiong and will not be rescued. Besides, without the edict of the Son of Heaven, no one would have taken the risk to help.

The generals and ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will even think that this is a civil strife in Tibet, and once Zhang Yichao's rebellious army is pacified by Tibet, it will not only play no role, but will also provide an opportunity for Tibet to strengthen its rule in the future. Therefore, according to normal thinking, the generals will choose to be silent.

However, Zhang Yichao himself overthrew the rule of the Tubo people, but he could give a book, and the Tang court subdued Longyou in the easiest way. This is the cruelty and deceit of politicians.

But the traffickers, whom they scoff at and are accused of being unscrupulous, never play with this treacherousness. The process and outcome of Zhang Yichao's uprising are precisely the counter-evidence of the extremely ironic historical reality.

Fortunately, last year, after the Xuanhan Marquis Wanglingtong led the Northern Armies and was afraid of heat, the already chaotic situation in Tubo was even more chaotic. The generals of the Tubo towns who occupied the Longyou prefectures fought with each other, and they all had the intention of competing for the supreme ruling power of Tubo.

In addition, the slave army in Tibet rebelled in a big way, and the slave rebel army in the Helong area called itself the Hun Mo Army. The Liangzhou area formed the Wen Late Army.

In addition to the great uprising of the slave tribe in the Longyou area at the junction of Tang and Tibet, there were also many slave civilian riots in Tubo, namely Wei Kuoji, the leader of the craftsmen, and then Wei Lopoloqiong, the six major slave leaders in the Qinpu and Gongbu regions.

Later, it even developed to excavate the tombs of many Zampu poor knots in Shannan to divide the treasures.

The initial cause of this unprecedented internal chaos in Tibet was that in the second year of Huichang (842), the Tibetan monks killed Zamp Lang Dama, and his wife Yun Dan, the nephew of the mother clan of the Qi clan, and his son Osong stood on his own in Shannan, and two Zampu appeared for a while.

Yundan, who served as the envoy of Luomenchuan outside, usurped the throne in the west, defeated the prime minister Shang Siluo, and became the most powerful force in Tibet, learning from Cao Cao and claiming to be the prime minister.

In the third year of Huichang (843), the fear of heat led to a great melee in the towns of Longyou in the northeast of Tubo. This year is regarded as the year of the fall of the Tibetan Dynasty, which died with a history of 225 years. In fact, the Tibetan Zampu existed at the same time as many people who praised themselves as leaders or leaders.

At that time, the self-proclaimed prime minister's theory of heat and heat led 200,000 troops to attack the Shanzhou Jiedu envoy Shang Wanwen who was not satisfied with him, and Shang Wanwen broke the theory of heat with 40,000 troops, almost annihilating his entire army. After that, on the fear of heat, Shang Wanwen continued to gather relevant forces to start a battle, and all the towns in Longyou Prefecture of Tubo were involved in this melee.

This melee lasted until the seventh year of Yizong Xiantong (866), when Shang Wanwen's subordinate Tuoba Huaiguang killed him and ended the melee.

This melee, which lasted for 23 years, almost lost the elite soldiers of the upper echelons of Tubo, and this melee also completely sent the glory of Tubo to the grave, and later generations never recovered to the glory of the heyday of the Tubo Dynasty.

It's a pity that Tang Tianzi and later Song Tianzi at this time and later were basically imbecile in martial arts and high in person. Even if Zhang Yichao created such a good situation, he didn't take the opportunity to include Tubo in the territory, which made the writer sigh.

In the first month, Zhang Xiong successfully launched the Shazhou Uprising, killing the Tubo Shazhou Jiedu envoy Zhandui, 5,000 Tubo soldiers in the city, killing about 2,000, most of the rest surrendered, and a small number escaped. Among those who escaped was Basang, the son of Jandui.

At this time, An Kangbo Song Chen was already a sixty-eight-year-old veteran, and You Tong, An Zhi, and Huang Zhao not only helped the army, but also personally participated in the battle and obeyed Song Chen's dispatch. Why did they dare to go directly into battle?

This is the fearlessness of being a peddler. In their minds, as long as they think that they hinder the spirit of credit, no matter which country or state you are, and no matter how powerful the rumors are and how difficult the people and things are, they will not have any fear, go directly to the battle, and you.

According to the order of Li Chong, the commander of Shazhou, Song Chen's part mainly dealt with the direction of the South Gate, Song Chen himself was the guard of the South Gate, Huang Zhao was the Zhichong, Huang Fu was the captain, You Tong and An Zhi followed Song Chen and acted as mobile personnel.

During this period of time, Zhang Xiong led 10,000 horses, with Li Chong's son Li Ting as the vanguard, to subdue Suzhou.

In the past few months, it has taken Yizhou and Xizhou in the north and Guazhou in the east. Suzhou is in the east of Guazhou, and Shazhou, as the base camp here, must not be missed. Therefore, the old and young generals will not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

At this time, Wu Ning's male Youtong was fifty-four years old, and An Zhi, the righteous daughter of the overlord whip Huang Yi, was forty-seven years old. The former major general Huang Zhao is also forty-one years old, and his son Huang Fu is twenty-three years old. In the Wuzhou Army, people called the generals of the Huang family the generals of the Huang family.

After Zhang Xiong occupied Shazhou in the first month, the escaped Basang vowed to avenge his father's Zhandui, regain the throne of the Shazhou Jiedu envoy, and continue to exploit the Shazhou people with the law of enslavement.

The people of Shazhou have long hated the slavery system of the Tubo people, which is why the Tang people rose up in a hurry. It's not just Shazhou, the seventeen states where the eighteen states of Longyou fell, which Tang people are not waiting for the moment when the Tang court is subdued.

Therefore, wherever Zhang Xiong's soldiers went, as long as the brothers who had formed alliances in various states contacted each other, a large number of Tang people responded in groups, and some even went into battle with their whole families. Although the people's hearts are turned against each other is such a good situation, none of those Tubo towns will be willing to give up their territory, and every battle will be extremely tragic.

When Basang fled from Shazhou, he was followed by more than 200 Tibetan soldiers, who returned to Tibet and found Tashi Dorjee, the patriarch of their clan, and begged for the restoration of Shazhou's rule. Tashi also contacted several close tribes, gathered 4,000 soldiers, and proclaimed himself the governor of Shazhou, vowing to recapture Shazhou.

After recruiting and training, in the past half a year, they have been killed under the south gate of Shazhou.

At the south gate of Shazhou, the first formation was made by Huang Zhao, and the overlord's double whip was superb, fighting with Basang for more than 30 times, wrapping his neck, shaking the overlord whip, and Basang flew in the air. You Tong, the god fist hero in the back, flew over, and with a wave of the ink sword, Basan's head fell to the ground.

Basang, who was shouting for revenge, died as soon as he came up, and Tashi Dorjee was so angry that he screamed. A general flew out from behind him, and was beaten by You Tong in the second formation, and slashed with an ink sword.

Two more generals flew out in a row, and Anzhi, who was beaten in the third formation, fought with the overlord whip, captured one alive and fled the other. Tashi Dorjee hurriedly withdrew his troops and retreated 20 miles south to set up camp and discuss countermeasures.

Tashi Dorjee's military advisor is called a poor man, in his fifties, and has a lot of ideas. After analyzing the military situation of Shazhou and the astronomical geography around Shazhou, he came up with a plan to flood Shazhou City and capture Li Chong alive.

Poor Da's strategy was very successful, and almost made Li Chong and Song Chen lose Shazhou. What's going on in the details? See the next chapter.
