The heavens start from saving Daming

Chang'an West Railway Station, a palace-like railway station.

Since the Tang army began to recover the Western Regions, this place has become the busiest place in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Every day, countless horse-drawn carriages would bring in all kinds of materials, and then the packers would put them into wagons and send them to the Western Regions, rain or shine.

As the war in the Western Regions suddenly tightened, this place became more and more busy.

On this day, a large number of sergeants with luggage gathered in the square in front of the station, and they were arranged according to team members.

These were sergeants recruited by Zhang Shigui from Hebei and other places. Their training had not even been completed, so they were sent here to prepare to board the train to reinforce the Western Regions.

There is no way, the frontline battle is fierce and reinforcements are urgently needed. Most of the hundreds of thousands of troops around Chang'an City have been dispatched, and now only one or one of them can be sent to the frontline.

Although they are recruits, most of them are strong men from the land of Yanzhao, and all of them are tall, powerful and burly.

Everyone is carrying heavy luggage, basically weighing around [-] catties.

In addition to the weapons and armor that are carried, there are also quilts and blankets, cotton clothes and leather boots, socks, underwear and hats, military rations and supplementary multifunctional tool bags, fire folding lunch boxes, kettles, washbasins, toothbrushes, ponchos, rubber shoes, ropes, towels, etc.

Under Li Yunze's leadership, the logistics level of the Tang army in this era has even reached the standard of the World War I for later generations.

Among other things, at least in the eyes of people in this era, it is unimaginable.

The sergeants sitting on the plaster floor whispered, excited, worried, anticipating everything.

"Xue Li."

Chief Shi beckoned to a young recruit, "Go and help in the kitchen."

The young Xue Li's face froze. He came to serve as a soldier to restore the honor of his ancestors, but somehow he was asked to help the cook when he was fine. It was really depressing.

Although very upset, Xue Li got up and went to the head camp of the camp.

The train station can't provide food for more than 2000 people, and the train transporting them is estimated to leave in the afternoon, so they can only solve their own lunch.

"Xue Li is here." In the Huotou army's temporary camp, a group of Huotoujun and the cooks from each team saw Xue Li, and greeted him enthusiastically, "Hurry up and cut the meat."

Xue Li responded, walked to the chopping board, picked up a kitchen knife and started chopping meat.

Naturally, there is nothing refined about eating in the army. The so-called cutting of meat is actually just chopping it into large pieces.

A familiar Huotou army brought a large piece of steak and placed it in front of Xue Li, "This is from the Lijiazhuang Ranch, and it is said to make all the soldiers who are going to battle have enough to eat."

"Didn't you have a feast from His Majesty yesterday?"

Holding a kitchen knife, Xue Li replied helplessly while chopping meat, "I just helped the kitchen yesterday, why did you let me do it?"

"Who told you that you have good sword skills and great strength?"

Huotoujun smiled and said, "I think you might as well just transfer to Huotoujun. We can't say anything else here, but the food and drink are definitely the best. We eat meat every day."

Xue Li suddenly stopped the movements in his hands, turned his head and stared at Huotoujun with a serious expression, "I, Xue Rengui, did not join the army to eat meat! I am trying to make meritorious service and become famous, and return to my hometown to relocate the graves of my ancestors!"

Xue Rengui is a child of a poor family in the true sense. His ancestor is the Xue family in Hedong. From his great-grandfather Xue Rong to his father Xue Gui, they all served as officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Sui Dynasty.

It's just that after Xue Gui's death, his family fell into a poor family, so he could only be a farmer by farming.

At the beginning of the year, he planned to move the ancestral grave back to his hometown. His wife said that he would move the grave after striving for fame and returning home.

Xue Rengui's wife is Liu Yinhuan, not Wang Baochuan.

He also doesn't have a son named Xue Dingshan, and naturally he doesn't have a daughter-in-law named Fan Lihua either.

Of course, the deeds of Three Arrows to Mount Tianshan are indeed true.

Seeing Xue Rengui getting angry, Huotoujun left in embarrassment, never daring to mention the matter of letting him join Huotoujun.

The soldiers and horses had lunch and waited in the square for more than an hour before starting to enter the station and start boarding the train.

First, the horses, livestock and large equipment accompanying the army were sent to the trucks, and then the sergeants lined up and boarded different passenger cars.

From Li Yunze's eyes, the passenger car compartment is very crude.

The carriage made of wood is built on the metal chassis. Apart from the stove, there are only rows of simple wooden chairs inside.

However, in the eyes of the soldiers of Datang, this is already an unimaginable enjoyment.

At the very least, they don't have to rely on their own feet to walk thousands of miles to the battlefield.

Especially in the eyes of those veterans who are long corporals, these wooden chairs can sit, lean and lie down, and they are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow in the carriage, and they can even eat hot food in the carriage. It is the best enjoyment.

During the boring journey, apart from eating and going to the toilet, there was only the sound of rattling wheels.

Seeing the scenery outside the window gradually changing from the Guanzhong Plain to the hills and plains, the sergeants who had nothing to do began to chat and play.

Xue Rengui is here, Tongshi's sergeants are talking about Li Yunze, General of the Third Division.

"We all know Li Caishen's name in our hometown. But he makes a lot of money, but he doesn't necessarily have to be a good fighter."

"That's right. I haven't heard of Li Caishen fighting any battles before. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to be under his command this time."

"There are so many famous generals in the country, why did you choose Li Caishen?"

"I don't understand, then Li Caishen is the emperor's son-in-law."

"Hey, a famous general doesn't need a son-in-law, let's go this time"

"Shut up!" Shi Chang, who came back from going to the bathroom, scolded with a dark face, "Is this something you can talk about? If you talk nonsense again, you can just march and hit the army stick!"

Datang didn't get many crimes because of their words. As long as they didn't insult the royal family, or ran outside the palace to urinate and shout for rebellion, basically they would not be punished.

It's just that it's different in the army. A group of big-headed soldiers talk about the general's incompetence. Once it spreads, it will affect the morale of the army.

The sergeants quickly quieted down, but as a veteran, Shi Chang muttered in his heart after sitting down.

Then Li Caishen, can he really fight?
Li Yunze did know how to fight.

Even though he has no talent, he has rich experience.

It's like applauding for love, even if you are not talented, but as long as you have rich experience, you can still use technology to make up for it, so as to reach the realm of Dzogchen.

There is no doubt that Li Yunze has a lot of experience, and he also received special education when he was in Jingnan World.

When the anti-Tang coalition forces rushed from all directions, Li Yunze reacted very quickly, and quickly told everyone to guard the city and not go out to fight.

Then began to prepare additional food, grass and military resources, ready to be used after the reinforcements came.

He didn't expect that Li Er would let him lead the reinforcements, but since the lives of many soldiers of the Tang army were at stake, he naturally had a duty to do so.

First, they communicated urgently with Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and others by telegram, and after some discussion, they decided on a strategy to rescue Tang Jun on the South Road first.

Su Dingfang was even more powerful. With nearly [-] Tang troops by his side, he slowly retreated into the Ili River Valley, and then retreated to Suiye. At least the Western Turkic Huihe Xue Yantuo and other tribes could not stop him.

Suiye stored enough military resources for more than [-] Tang troops for several months, enough to last until the reinforcements came with logistical supplies.

The South Road is very dangerous.

The Tibetans rushed down the mountain like a tide, and the entire supply line was almost paralyzed.

Moreover, Cheng Yaojin continued to divide his troops to garrison everywhere along the way, even if there were only more than 1 Tang troops around him, it was really very dangerous.

After determining the strategy, Li Yunze waited for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

Trains brought in tens of thousands of Tang troops and war horses. In just over half a month, more than 3 Tang troops gathered under his command.

This is the most field troops that Li Er can mobilize. If there are more, it will take at least a month.

Without hesitation, Li Yunze rushed towards Yanqi with soldiers and horses guarding the huge transport team.

Yanqi encountered only a few Tubo raids here, and the defense was very strong.

According to what the garrison said, the scouts they sent went far away to the Kucha country in Kucha and other places, and they found that Kucha and other places were already surrounded by the Tubo army as huge as mountains and seas.

The specific number, at least starting from more than one hundred thousand.

The soldiers under Li Yunze's command all thought that the decisive battle would break out in Kuqa, Kucha, and they were gearing up to fight the Tibetans to the death.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after Li Yunze thought about it, he left five thousand soldiers and horses, together with the original defenders, he gathered tens of thousands of people to garrison Yanqi, which was not in danger.

He also said that a group of reinforcements will be mobilized from Yizhou and other places in the future. The only order is that the defenders must stick to this place and absolutely not let any Tibetans cross the border.

Even, Li Yunze didn't leave any supplies for them, and only said that the supplies would be shipped from Yizhou and other places later.

After that, Li Yunze headed southward with reinforcements and supplies, and plunged directly into the vast sea (Taklamakan Desert).

This operation really shocked everyone, and the soldiers commented that this son-in-law really doesn't know how to fight.

In other words, is it timid and afraid to go to a decisive battle with the Tubo people?
"Decisive battle? Where did the decisive battle come from?"

When camping in the desert, facing the generals who came to inquire, Li Yunze frankly stated in the main account, "Originally, you questioned this general, so you should have pushed him out and killed him. How can I arrange this? How can you wait?" Talk too much."

"It's just that General Ben is in a good mood today, and I told you in other provinces that you have been suspicious all day long and said that General Ben didn't know how to fight."

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the saddle, took a sip from the glass in front of him, "Tell me, what is the mission of our army?"

We all know this "rescue besieged friendly forces and provide them with supplies."

"This is the first point." Li Yunze raised a finger, "First figure out what we are here for. We are not here to fight the Tubo people, but to rescue the friendly army."

"General." A captain couldn't help but stepped forward to salute, "But why don't we go west along the Tianshan Mountains, pass Kuqa and other places, and then we can reach Shule."

"Yes, General." Someone next to him said, "The foot of Tianshan Mountain is not only rich in supplies, but the road is easy to walk."

"You're all right."

Li Yunze nodded, and raised his second finger, "This is the second problem. Tell me, what will you encounter when you walk from the foot of Tianshan Mountain?"

What else can we meet, at least a Tubo army of more than [-].

"We only have 10,000 soldiers and horses here, and most of them are recruits who have never been to the battlefield." Li Yunze pointed outside the tent "to fight with [-]+ Tubo soldiers and horses, and there are countless miscellaneous tribes from all over the world. Guards The transport team needs at least half of the troops, so what strength is there to fight a decisive battle with the Tibetans? Do these recruits really count as ten?"

"Remember, what we have to do is to escort the supplies to Shule, not to fight the Tubo people."

"But general." A school captain couldn't help asking, "We still have to fight the Tibetans, otherwise even if we don't fight, they will come here."

"Already fighting."

Li Yunze simply got up and came to the side of the map.

His fingers first slid across the majestic Tianshan Mountains in the north, and then drew a circle along the vast sea.

"I will keep my troops at Yanqi, do you think I'm stupid? I'm not stupid. That's the exit of the pocket, and heavy soldiers must be left to kill it. Shule's place is the entrance of the pocket, and we have to go there and stab it to death." .”

"After regaining the southern line of the Hanhai, taking Khotan and sealing both sides, what should the at least 10,000+ Tubo soldiers and horses who crossed the Hanhai be? All the mountain passes in the Tianshan Mountains are in the hands of the Tang army, and they can't go to the north. There is no supply source, They either went to Yanqi or Shule, or they plunged into the vast sea and ran back to the plateau."

Going back to the Maza and sitting down, Li Yunze simply spread his hands, "Don't think that all the soldiers and horses in the world have sufficient supplies like the Tang army. When the 10,000+ Tubo soldiers who lack supplies come out of the vast sea, there will be ten thousand left." One is that the gods bless them!"
