Chapter 486: Jiong and Thunder ([-])
Why it is said on the spectrum that this period of time is the age of mortals is actually reasonable.

Xue Rengui's big defeat was really bad. This was the first big defeat since the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a turning point for the Tang Dynasty.Since this time, the Tang Dynasty has experienced more defeats.But you have to understand, if Guo Daifeng takes the overall situation into consideration, doesn't get stuck in the back, and sticks to it, what will happen?
Also, it is true that the quality of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty has declined.

But based on historical facts, Xue Na's defeat by Khitan was unforgivable. Although he knew it was not the time to send troops, the main reason was that he underestimated the enemy.However, when Wang Hua looked at the history books in the previous life and saw this place, he sometimes wondered whether this failure would make Lao Xue feel ashamed and courageous.

Therefore, Lao Xue can be regarded as one of the peerless famous generals, but he is not considered top-notch.

The other Lao Guo, Lao Zhang, and Lao Tang, although they are famous generals, they have not yet reached the peerless famous generals, and even Hei Chi Chang Zhi can't catch up.

Later, Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong got a little better, and Xiao Song didn't mention it.Zhang Xiaosong was also not weak, especially when more than [-] soldiers from the side marched to Bahana, defeated the supportive forces of Dashi, and expelled the false lord Ah Lida established by Dashi, who shocked the Western Regions.But they are still a short distance away from peerless famous generals.But there are only these three people who are infinitely close to God.

So Wang Hua said it was the age of mortals.

It is Wang Hua's current subordinate, Wang Junchuo is purely a warrior, he can win a big victory, but he can also lose a big one, less strategy, hard work.Guo Qianguan is selfish and greedy, and he can't be alone either.Fortunately, Wang Hua suddenly picked it up now, so loyalty is not a problem.Xiao Song is now a hot-blooded young man, regardless of his family background, he still stays in the bloody camp, and he pissed Lao Xue to death. It's fine for you to mess around, but if you want to rebel, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a cheap nephew, I will be the first to ask the court to send troops to deal with you.

This is because they are afraid that Wang Huazhen will rebel and drag his precious son into trouble.

In fact, Wang Hua still had some shadows in his heart about Xiao Song's surrender to Anlu Mountain in history, fearing that he would betray him in his later years.

In Wang Hua's heart, he is a peerless and famous general, and he is still a comrade of the younger brother.After he came to Shannan, Wang Hua often gave him small lessons, mainly urging him to learn the art of war.

Of course, in the future, there will be many peerless famous generals.An Lushan is one, not bad, regardless of whether he is rebellious or not, he is capable, just like ranking first in the era of starlight and Qinling.It has nothing to do with the enemy or ourselves, only about personal military capabilities.

Gao Xianzhi is also considered one, but Gao Xianzhi bears the main responsibility for the battle with Dashi.At that time, the relationship between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty was still very friendly, and there was a civil war between Dashi in the night and Dashi in white.At the beginning, it was prepared to deal with Tuqishi. Tuqishi joined forces with Tubo many times to attack the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty originally planned to join hands with Dashi to eradicate the curse of Central Asia. Even Li Longji was planning to conquer it himself.

But Gao Xianzhi broke the plan.First of all, he underestimated the enemy and did not inquire about it. He believed that Khorasan was empty when the white-clothed Dashi and the black-clothed Dashi (that is, the Wu Maiye and Abbas dynasties) changed generations.In fact, Khorasan was the place where the Abbasid revolution broke out and won its first victory, and the main force of the Abbasid army was gathered here.So this encounter ended in a disastrous defeat.

This is Gao Xianzhi's greedy nature, but this kind of greed is not too bad, what he is greedy for is his military exploits.He also has a bad personality and is cruel, which is also something that many Hu people in the Western Regions do not accept.This is what Wang Hua did very well, combining hardness and softness, this is the kingly way.

In fact, it is wrong for many people to say that Tubo defended the Tang Dynasty against the Dashi.Dashi has always been friendly to the Tang Dynasty. Even after the war, Dashi often sent envoys to communicate with the Tang Dynasty.This is also the first direct large-scale battle between China and Dashi, and it will also be the last time.The ones in the Yuan Dynasty did not count, and Dashi perished.Even after this war, the pattern of Central Asia has not changed much. The only thing is that a large number of prisoners of war from the Tang Dynasty brought the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, especially papermaking.Otherwise, Dashi will continue to write on sheepskin, or import paper from China.This change is equivalent to changing the history of the world.

Wang Hua is not very clear about this period of history, but he knows that Gao Xianzhi was mainly responsible.

This led to a consequence, Gao Xianzhi fell far behind Ge Shuhan when evaluating the generals in his mind.Gao Xianzhi could not be blamed for that defeat in his later years, but Li Longji could only be blamed.

But the shortcomings do not hide the advantages, especially when he quelled the Little Bolu Kingdom, and even extended an olive branch to Eastern Rome, he was frightened.Look at the captives he captured, King Bolu and Princess Tubo, Khan Tuqishi, Chief of Tubo, King Shi, and King Qushi, not to mention the countries he destroyed and the enemies he killed.

Therefore, it is still a peerless celebrity.

Just not perfect.

Wang Hua had been looking for this person, but couldn't find him. In fact, Gao Xianzhi was not far from Wang Hua, just in Kucha, and he was just in his early twenties.But soon he will enter Wang Hua's field of vision, and in another year, because of his father's meritorious service, he will be promoted to be a guerrilla general.

There is also a character like Yuan Chenghuan, Feng Changqing who was beheaded to death by Li Longji self-destructing the Great Wall.He is also a monster, and Wang Hua is also looking for him. Unfortunately, he is farther away from Wang Hua. Because of his grandfather's crimes, he was exiled to Anxi and served as the defender of the south gate of Hucheng (now east of Shymkent, Kazakhstan).But Wang Hua remembered his image, thin and thin, squinting eyes, short and lame feet.His subordinates really discovered this character, and it was discovered by the believers.But the good news didn't come.He was also young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had just entered the army not long ago, and no one paid attention to him.It is estimated that even if Wang Hua is discovered, it will take several years of cultivation to become a great tool.

In addition to these three people, there are two more people, Wang Hua don't think about it.The man was found, and Lao Guo was found. His father, Guo Jingzhi, was an official of the Tang Dynasty and a native of Huazhou.They are all entering old age, but Xiao Guo is his late son, only 12 years old this year.What if Wang Hua found someone?Could it be that 12-year-old Xiao Guo entered the barracks to command operations?
Another person is even more ridiculous, Li Guangbi was born last year when Wang Hua paid attention to Li Kailuo.Painter Wang breathed a sigh of relief, is it possible to use it?Still breastfeeding.

These six talents are the God of War in his heart, including An Lushan, if counted, Shi Siming is not weak either.

However, Wang Hua's idea is also wrong. Heroes come out of troubled times.The other real military talents of Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong are not weak, at least not inferior to Feng Changqing.

But Wang Hua is very clear about one thing, that is, he should not look at his generals with the eyes of these few people.Or use Li Jing to look at the generals under his command. It is not a rare event in a hundred years, but only a few hundred years.Generally speaking, with this and that shortcoming, as a general, he is still far superior to ordinary people.

Just like this military operation, Wang Huaren was in Lingzhou, but he confidently and boldly handed it over to these generals and Mo Hegan, because he valued their abilities.Of course, no matter how many years older Ge Shuhan is, when he grows up, even Ge Shuhan can handle it all by himself.

But without these brave generals, Wang Hua's plan this time would not have come true.Xiao Mu is very good, but can he bring out a world champion when he comes to China?

So almost no one noticed that this battle was about to start.

However, the process involved is very unauthentic anyway.It's nothing more than tricks and plots. Wars are mostly a continuation of politics, but just like politics, tricks, wisdom, and even conspiracy must be used. This is normal.From ancient to modern times, how many war strategies have been written?That's all.

But because of some process, the nature of the front and back has changed, it is very obscene, very shocking, and even more embarrassing to some people.

The first embarrassing person has not noticed until now.

Wei Kong is leaving Jishi Mountain.

Di Dayan warmly sent each other off.

Although it is said that soldiers are expensive and fast, and Tubo is different from the Central Plains, they are usually herdsmen, but when they gather, they are warriors.But the scale of this battle is not too small, and we must prepare for mobilization.And also write a memorial to Luoxie City, explaining the necessity of this battle.

This will take a few days.

Wei Kong stayed in Jishi Mountain and never left.He also had to wait, the food was not brought back all at once, and he had to wait for the food to be ready before leaving.

[-] shi of grain sounds like a huge amount, but it's not a lot, not enough for half a month's consumption by the soldiers in Fu Dayan's hands.Of course, there is still a big head behind, and [-] shi of grain will be delivered soon. I believe that the Wei family will not break their promises for the benefit of their "allies" and also for their own benefit.At least if Wang Hua doesn't leave the eight states for a day, he won't lose faith.

The money is not much, and it is only three thousand yuan in Luoyang.Of course, it would cost nearly ten thousand guan at least to get here, and the shipping fee is too high.That's it, it's not as valuable as the weapons sent by the Wei family.

But it's weight.How much can a carriage pull?A large carriage can only pull a few stones of grain.That's it, along the way, I don't know how many axles have been damaged.At the same time, it also sneaked over.Even if the Wei family had prepared enough carriages and livestock, they couldn't bring them to Tubo all at once.Fortunately, Wang Hua attaches great importance to business, war is war, whether it is on the opposite side or not, Wang Hua has always encouraged business exchanges.Check loose.

The Wei family also prepared enough carriages, but it would take several days to send them to Jishi Mountain.

Fu Dayan is not a fool, although it is for the Wei family himself, but there are many difficulties and a huge cost in the process.

The past few days have been very kind to Wei Kong, and if he invites him to drink and eat meat, he almost calls him a brother regardless of his status.And called a group of young girls from Tubo to perform dances for Wei Kong.After dancing, he waved his hand and asked Wei Kong if he was interested. If so, all these girls would sleep with him at night.

Wei Kong was taken aback, there were quite a few girls in this group, in their [-]s and [-]s, after sleeping, can they wake up tomorrow?

Reject immediately.

However, he still admires this group of girls. Although they are red in the plateau, and their fair skin is not as delicate as the girls in the Central Plains, they have a healthy and lively beauty.

However, Wei Kong was very dissatisfied with Tubo's living habits. Since he came here, he also knew Tubo very well, and he could even understand some Tubo language, but he spoke it unpopularly, just like Go Dayan spoke Tang Dynasty dialect.I also know the customs of Tubo very well, but I am not used to it.

The first is food. Because of the cold weather, rice cannot grow. The crops are only wheat, highland barley, bean, and qiaomai. But pasta is also good. They can be made into cakes, noodles, and steamed buns, but people don’t have this habit. A pot of porridge doesn't look like porridge, and it's disgusting to see something mushy.There is no bowl or plate, but felt is used as a plate, which is an elegant way of saying, that is to use a piece of leather felt that has not been washed for an unknown number of days to serve meals.Or twist it into a bowl.That is to say, a small flat spearhead is used. When the big pot of rice comes, soldiers or generals will wipe the spearhead on their clothes casually.

Wei Kong had to cook small dishes frequently, because he didn't dare to eat.

As for living, let alone.There are cities in Tibet, not just one or two. Of course, the cities are very simple and not as tall as the Tang Dynasty, just like European castles. This is only in terms of area, but the buildings are still not as good as medieval European castles.But no one is willing to move in. The main reason is that ordinary people run around with their livestock, so they sleep in tents.Put some moisture-proof stuff under it, and cover it with a few animal skins.Nine out of ten people from the Central Plains will definitely catch a cold.In winter, nine out of ten must be frozen to death.There are crops, sow them on the ground, and rely on the sky to harvest them.

But this is better, Wei Kong brought his own tent and thin quilt, although he slept on the floor, it was a little cleaner than Tubo.

In general, filthy food, filthy living, and filthy clothing.However, people who grow up in this situation can't be fierce.Can't make it through.

It would be better if Wang Hua was here. After all, it was transitioning from a slave society to a feudal society, and the civilization was still very backward.If it hadn't been under the light of the Tang Dynasty, we don't know when it would be civilized.

But there is also something that Wang Hua doesn't like, that is, the people in this area are very unfilial.The Central Plains raised children to prevent old age, but the Tibetans raised children purely as a human instinct to carry on the family line.When children grow up and their parents get old, young people hit and scold their parents whenever they want, and it is the same in wars.What's the use of raising a child?

But Dayan was very enthusiastic, and he dragged him to eat meat and drink all day long, and scoop batter with a spoon.There is no way, now I have to ask others to send troops and accompany me.

Fortunately, the Wei family was well prepared this time.It has to be sufficient, once the war starts, Wang Hua will definitely send a large number of scouts, and he will not know how to go crazy when he learns about the deal between the Wei family and Dayan.

Four days later, all the food for the Wei family was delivered.

Di Dayan's army will also be integrated, and Wei Kong will also leave here.

In his heart, Di Dayan was very grateful to the Wei family. This time, the Wei family provided a lot of supplies, mainly intelligence maps. His own success, of course, is beneficial to the Wei family, but it is also beneficial to his fame.He Dayan even imagined that after the battle, whether Wang Hua would immediately drop a dozen or so places in the general score rankings, and whether he would rise a few more places.

This man's heart is not enough, he is ranked sixth, and he still wants to rise up, or wants to replace silently?Be the champion at the top of the leaderboard?

But who is bad for a false name?As for Wang Hua, if others say that he is multi-talented, do you really feel unhappy in your heart?

But Tubo really has nothing to give away, the handicrafts are simple, and the Wei family is a family from the Tang Dynasty, can you take a fancy to it?Yes, Tubo has its own gold, silver, tin, and copper mines, and has a preliminary mining and smelting process. Later, when Princess Wencheng got married, she brought a large number of craftsmen to make this technology more developed.Where did Tubo's armor come from? It was the craftsmanship brought by these craftsmen, and because of the improvement of craftsmanship, soldiers equipped a large number of armor and weapons, which further improved the combat effectiveness of Tubo people.

The main craft is goldware, but Dayan knew that it was the goldware, so he couldn't get it out either.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Kong: "I have a daughter who is 12 years old and has no betrothed family. How about I marry your Wei family?"

A country is a country, and a family is a family. The concept of the country is not serious now. Rather than being loyal to the concept of the country, it is better to say that it is loyal to a dynasty of a certain family.It's like being loyal not to Datang now, but to Li's Wang Zong.Although this joint marriage will provoke ridicule, it is not impossible.At that time, the Wang family of Taiyuan didn't marry their daughter to the prince of Korea.

But Guan Jian is Wei Kong dare to agree?

After all, the Wei family was also a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at Fu Dayan's appearance, his daughter would not look very good, even if she could read and write.Maybe if you go to Wei's house and don't sleep in the big house, buy a big tent on the street and sleep in the street, then the Wei family will lose face.

It's all useless to worry about.

It cannot be generalized, there are also some excellent girls in Tubo.

Wei Kong declined.

Fu Dachu was very enthusiastic and couldn't think of a way to return the gift, so he ran to the temple, found the priest and asked for two golden mastiffs.This is an excellent breed of mastiff, very loyal, and it is not found in ordinary people, only some temples or noble homes can occasionally show some traces.

But it frightened Wei Kong even more, is this a dog or what?
I didn't even dare to ask for it, but it caused some criticism when I went back.It can be snatched, but without the owner's consent, there is no way to raise this kind of top-quality Tibetan mastiff.I am not convinced by this thing, even if I give it a big meal every day.

There was no return, and Chu Dayan gave him a bear hug, which almost made Wei Kong breathless.

Don't look at Wang Hua's shooting of Du Dayan, but ignore his force.Fudayan was very big and shaped like a bear.This is why Wei Kong thinks his daughter is terrible.This hug almost broke Wei Kong's small arm.

Di Dayan let go of Wei Kong, and Wei Kong stayed away from him as if fleeing.This made Dayan laugh out loud.

After sending Wei Kong away, Fu Dayan began to prepare for the battle.

This time the army was divided into three groups, and the right army was led by his favorite general Ke Zanre, starting from Wuhai and heading for Shanzhou City.Because the middle road is for food, although Wang Hua also sent a thousand soldiers to surround it intentionally, it is only in a valley after all, without the danger of the city wall.Can a thousand soldiers still be able to compete with [-] soldiers?Therefore, it is also the place that Dayan despises the most.He sent another general under his command, Ba Song, to lead [-] soldiers forward, and Wang Fu, who led the people and livestock to move back, was bringing food back.Hezhou had the tallest city wall and a higher population density than Shanzhou, so he led the left road himself.

In order to fight this battle well, the [-] troops were all composed of young and middle-aged men, and they could be said to be the most elite soldiers in Dayan's hands, especially the left and right sides.

June [-]th was the appointed time, and it was also the fourth day after Wei Kong left. The scouts in front found that Wang Hua was still in Lingzhou, so Dayan finally set off.

The 1 people descended like tigers in a mighty manner, and Go Dayan rushed to the front with high spirits.The last time he suffered from Wang Hua, he was also unconvinced and wanted to find a place.

Looking at Hao Erlang behind him, everyone was full of energy, and he thought to himself: Wang Hua, let's see how I can beat you back to your original shape this time.

Then he yelled: "Let's go!"

PS: There may be three shifts today, and if the second shift comes up before six o'clock in the evening, the third shift will happen.
