I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 52
The news came from Qingtang Wangcheng to Liangzhou on Hexi Road. In more than a month, Tuoba Chide, the great lord of Qingtang, should have rushed to Yuchuanyuan, where Mihong in Liuzhi Township was stationed.

It was too late for Jiefu to react here.

"Sanlang has nearly [-] elite troops in his hands, and Yumen and Guazhou can send at least [-] reinforcements. With the addition of tens of thousands of troops from Tiele's army, the defense of the city should be safe."

Seeing Fu Maoxiu frowning and looking at the sand table, Liu Xianke on the side comforted him.

Cui Fangyi said: "If Duke Ming is worried about the situation in Shule, he can ask Zhang Renyuan and Han Kuangsi to send troops to Dafeichuan as a countermeasure."

After hearing this, Fu Maoxiu shook his head, "It's too late, Dafeichuan was supposed to support him all the way, and now Manglongzhibu has tens of thousands of troops there, but now they are sending troops to Dafeichuan, but the opponent is waiting for their work, even if our army wins, the gain is not worth the loss. Yes The Shule battle will not have any impact, after all, Qingtang is a big country with hundreds of thousands of strings, so we can't take it lightly."

Of course Fu Maoxiu was a little worried at this time, after all, Fu Jinchuan was his direct son, and he was also the most successful among the masters.When the old Duke was alive, he said that in times of peace and prosperity, Fu Huaichuan would be enough to protect his family's wealth.

And what he thinks now is not making any contribution at all, but hoping that if the war does not go well, Saburo can resolutely give up Shule, even if he comes back alone.

If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter if the whole army is wiped out, as long as the people come back.

After all, what he was facing was the people of Qingtang, not the miscellaneous Husbands of the feudal clan. Even if he went to the capital and knew that he was defeated, he would at most just reprimand him.

However, this cannot be said clearly.After all, he is the Jiedu envoy of Hexi, commanding an army of [-], and he must distinguish between public and private in his work.

At the peak of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, there were nearly 50 people who controlled strings, and they fought bravely. All adult men were warriors.For such a powerful enemy, no one can take it lightly.

Although he experienced two defeats last year, Qingtang's losses were not large, far from being injured.It's just that the tribes are more war-weary now, which is why the Jiefu budgeted that the Qingtang people would not send troops when formulating plans.

But now that Lord Qingtang came to the front line in person, no one expected such a change.

When the lord of a country is on the front line, morale is no longer a problem.

"Since the Qingtang people have dispatched troops, should Xue Cong give up attacking Lianshanbao and go back and deal with the Qingtang people together with Fu Langjun?"

Liangzhou Biejia Pei Shu who was on the side didn't know that Xue Cong had already won Lianshan Fort, so he just made a safer suggestion.

Fu Maoxiu shook his head and said: "No, the morale of Xue Cong's troops is high now. Giving up at this time is not worth the loss. It is too late to pass the military order. Maybe now Xue Cong has won Lianshan Fort and marched into Chifotang City. Don't think too much. Even if King Qingtang conquests personally, Sanlang can hold out in Shule."

From Liangzhou to Shule City, it was nearly a thousand miles away, and the Jiefu was beyond its reach at the moment, so we could only hope that Fu Jinchuan could resist the army of the Qing and Tang Dynasties.

Japu Huali and Guo Daifeng led [-] cavalry back to Shule City, Shi Wannian and Jia Shixun's two cavalry had already returned one day before them.

The two got off their horses and went straight to Fu Jinchuan's mansion.

"General."

"General."

The two entered the hall, clasping fists together.

Fu Jinchuan waved his hand, indicating that the two of them don't need to be polite.

Here Master Jia said: "Just wait for Liulang and the prince."

"The scouts in front reported that the army of the Qingtang Dynasty had crossed the Tanju Ridge and was heading straight for Shule City. They were marching along the Bomi River, and they would arrive at the city within five days. Judging by the flags, it should be around [-], and the number of white yaks is large." The banner is also in the army."

A big white yak banner made both Japu Huali and Guo Daifeng look heavy.

The people of Qingtang Shangbai lived on the Xihai Plateau for generations, and called themselves "Dabai Gaoguo". Because white yaks are very rare, they are sacred objects in the eyes of Qingtang people, so only the maharajas would use white yaks for their own conquests.

The personal conquest of the monarch of the enemy country is not optimistic for the Jin army.

The morale of the Qingtang army in advance was low, and the situation that it was difficult to fight did not exist.After all, the presence of the Maharaja in person is a great encouragement to the soldiers of all tribes.

And Tuoba Chide himself has a very high prestige in the Qingtang Dynasty. Since he succeeded the maharaja at the age of 20, he has successively suppressed the rebels and attacked the Western Regions. There are winners and losers.

When Tuoba Chide came to the front line, the morale of the Qingtang people would definitely be boosted, and the [-] army could no longer take it lightly.

"The Qingtang people are marching along the Bomi River. There is almost no danger to defend this road, and our troops are weak. It is better to wait for work and fight against the city."

"However, this road can't make it easy for them. They should send light cavalry to harass them along the way, waiting for an opportunity to cut off their food roads."

Jia Shixun is well-known in the Hexi Army for his resourcefulness and skill in fighting. He is calm and experienced in using troops, otherwise he would not have been selected by Fu Maoxiu as Fu Jinchuan's deputy.

Fu Jinchuan nodded after hearing this. The two armies are facing each other, of course, the longer the opponent's supply line, the better.

Fighting against the city is indeed the best choice for the Jin army at present.

"Since this is the case, the prince can dispatch three thousand cavalry troops and Shi Wannian to lead troops to harass the Qingtang army and wait for an opportunity to attack their food roads. Remember not to love fighting, let alone be brave, and mainly to harass."

Shi Wannian responded, "No."

"Prince and Guo Daifeng, take advantage of the fact that the Qingtang people haven't arrived in the past few days, to rectify the defense of Shule City, and strictly check the secret operations of Qingtang in the city, and we must not relax."

"promise."

"General Jia"

"The end is here."

"Unify the headquarters of the Jin army and the soldiers of the vassal, repair the ordnance, and prepare for the battle."

"promise."

Fu Jinchuan, who had issued the military order, came to the sand table again, pointed to Shule City and said, "A few days ago, didn't you envy Xue Cong for his achievements in destroying the country? Now that Tuoba Chide has come, he wants to stand out and make contributions. No problem, [-] Qingtang people, if you keep them all, it will be a great achievement. If anyone can capture Tuoba Chide, will the imperial court still be reluctant to give a reward?"

Shi Wannian said proudly: "What Mr. Lang said is that destroying the Yuezhen Kingdom is nothing. If the small Quer Kingdom is captured, we can go to Beijing to pay homage to the Taoist Emperor and change our wives and sons. It's just that Then don't fight with me."

Guo Daifeng smiled and said: "Shi Dalang's words are so unreasonable. How did you become yours to arrest Lord Qingtang? I, Guo Liulang, can't arrest him?"

"Hahahaha, you Jin people have this kind of spirit, and the warriors of my Tie Le tribe should also accompany me. If I capture that Qingtang Lord, please ask him to take me to Shangjing to see the world."

Jab Huali is also a brave person, so he naturally doesn't want to be behind others.

Seeing the fighting spirit of several generals under him, Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "Okay, after this battle, I will take you to meet His Majesty. If someone really captures Tuoba Chide, I will definitely ask Aye to beg you in front of Your Majesty." A Marquis."

When Jia Shixun heard this, he smiled wryly and shook his head. Before the battle was fought, he began to plan for rewards for meritorious deeds after the war.

As for the marquis that Fu Jinchuan mentioned, Jia Shixun did not doubt it. It is not too much to say that he was named a marquis for the capture of a big enemy chieftain like Qingtang, who had the British government as his guarantor.

But is this marquis so easy to get?There is an army of [-] on the opposite side, and Qingtang people are also known for being good at fighting.

Jia Shixun has been in the army in Hexi for more than ten years, and has fought more than a hundred battles with Qingtang and Qingtang, so he has a very good understanding of this enemy.

Qingtang people are proud of dying in battle for many generations. Although they are nomadic people, they like to line up and fight on foot in wartime. The front team dies in battle, and the rear team advances.

Now that the Majesty is on the front line again, just like the battle between Shazhou and Qilian last year, it is not easy to replicate.

But right now, Fu Langjun has made a few generals eager to win with just a few words, and it is still in the situation of the enemy's army pressing down on the situation, but this kind of ability has to be admirable.

Several people received military orders to set up their own arrangements. Fu Jinchuan brought a group of personal guards to the top of the city to observe the topography of the south of Shule City. It reminds me of the Zhouqiao Night Market in Shangjing.

It has been the third year since I left Beijing, if I win this battle, I should go back.

No, not Ruosheng.

It is a must win.
