Chapter 552
Zhang said that this is what he was afraid of when he came here.

Taozhou and Diezhou are taken up to understand, the south of Jishi Mountain is owned by Wang Hua, and the two states are the two gates of the area south of Jishi.Occupying Linzhou is easy to understand, so that Bazhou is no longer a slender silkworm like before, at least the waist has grown stronger.Kuozhou, the imperial court never wanted it.Even if Yanzhou, Liuhuzhou, and Fengzhou Shengzhou were taken over by Wang Hua, it would not be a big problem. At least there has been no open rebellion yet. These places are equivalent to the places where the imperial court is restrained, just to relieve the pressure on the court.

In fact, if the imperial court can establish a good relationship with Wang Hua, the evil god will stand in the northwest, reach Tubo in the south, and Turkic in the north, and these two countries will be very uncomfortable.At that time, it's not about invading the Tang Dynasty, but about when Wang Hua invades them.

But Wang Hua will defeat silently, and now this possibility is infinitely magnified, and the self-confidence of him and his men is infinitely inflated. It is precisely because of Wang Hua's dispatch of troops from Qinzhou to the west that the losses of the states and counties have been reduced or avoided.If Wang Hua is willing, Qinzhou, Weizhou, Dangzhou, Wuzhou, and even the entire Hanzhong area, Wang Hua can take it down at any time.Because of the radiance of the three original prefectures of Lingyan, nearly ten prefectures including Sui, Dan, Yan, Qing, and Jing, it didn't take much effort for Wang Hua to take it down.At that time, Wang Hua will truly become the Northwest King.

When Wang Hua doesn't become Liu Yu, his subordinates will push him to this position.

Thinking of this, he said eagerly: "Wang Shilang, you know that if you really do this, what are you talking about loving the people? When fighting together, how many people in the world will die because of it. Just like the little tune you wrote (is the song), prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

Wang Hua laughed, and said after laughing: "Zhang Shilang, I don't quite understand what you said. The people in the world are the people, so aren't the people in Bazhou the people? And are they the people of the Tang Dynasty? How dare you say that?" No? Let me ask you again, you also came from Lingzhou. After passing through Anyuan City, what kind of people did you see? No, right? But what did it look like? Let me tell you, in this area along the river, there are Countless people are farming or grazing. You have not yet arrived in Nanhetao, otherwise the situation you will see will be even more unbearable. Why did this happen? Don’t tell me, it is because of me. There are also several states in the south. If What will happen if our blood battalion doesn't take action this time? Are they not ordinary people?"

Zhang said he couldn't answer.If the imperial court does not join forces with Tubo this time, but secretly joins forces with Mo Chuo, this crusade will be righteous.It is a matter of course in that dynasty that the king crusade against the courtiers who do not obey the control.Even if they work together, if it is done perfectly, there is nothing to say.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many incidents of borrowing troops from foreign countries to quell civil strife.However, the Tubo people and the Turkic people saw that they did not get any benefits, and turned against the Tang Dynasty, which humiliated the court and became a farce and farce.

"Zhang Shilang, let me talk about another thing. Maybe you guessed it, maybe you didn't. The queen arranged the knife on the Tianjin Bridge. There is no question of right or wrong. But before I escaped from Luoyang, how did I treat the court, yes How about the emperor? What about the blood battalion soldiers? Do you know why Guo Zhiyun and Xiao Song came to Bazhou when they knew that the court was not good for me?"

Zhang said he shook his head blankly.

"That year, Xiao Song, Zhang Xiaosong, and Wang Jun traveled thousands of miles to the outside of the Great Wall, but it was this queen who betrayed their news to the Turkic people. How could General Guo and the others be willing to bear this unclear burden with me? Fame, chilling."

"how can that be?"

"Is there anything impossible? The blood battalion was defeated. The Turkic people, the Tuqishi people, and the Mohe people joined forces to attack our Tang Dynasty. The empress dowager may lose her prestige immediately. Only this will make someone easy to take over. As for how many people there are?" It doesn’t matter how many soldiers sacrificed for something, how many people died for something. She only has her small family in her eyes, where did she come from? May I ask, if I am loyal to such a family, am I really patriotic?”

The Lee family made him a family.

But if this matter was done by Webster, it would be too ugly anyway.Zhang said he still couldn't answer.

"Of course, Zhang Shilang, maybe you don't believe it, but one of the two people who went to Turkic that year survived. He is in Lingzhou. If you want to see him, I will take you to Lingzhou to see him when things are over here." I won't say anything else. I know your reason for coming, but will I become the second Liu Yu? It's not whether I want to be Liu Yu, or whether you can persuade me or not, or if you don't persuade me. I also know how to measure. But even if you persuaded me, the imperial court tried to kill me again and again, and your lips were worn out, I would not stretch my neck foolishly and let the imperial court chop me off with a knife. It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with you, it is the court's actions that determine my next step."

Expressed his thoughts clearly.

Zhang said that half of the speech he had prepared was useless.

He sighed and said: "Wang Shilang, no matter what, the reason why you have everything today is also due to your mentor. Think about how Di Guolao treated the country all his life?"

Di Renjie?Wang Hua smiled. Although I am very grateful to him, do I have to follow the same path as him?
When Wang Hua was talking with Zhang Shuo, Mo Chuai made another unexpected decision on the other side of the river.

Apoda returned after a disastrous defeat, but Mo Shui didn't blame him.

At that time, the attack was also inevitable, just to take a little risk, if it was captured, it would be of great significance.If you were here silently, if you were aware of the risks, you would launch a strong attack.Failure is also reasonable, this is Abo Daqian, if it is someone else, Wang Hua personally directs, it is possible to create again the myth of Liu Yu's [-] breaking [-].

Aboda forced Wang Hua to drag the chariot into the river, which is already a very good result.I can do this step in my own hands, besides myself, it is only Apodas and Tun Yugu.Of course, this is his love for Abo Dagan. He often says that they are Zhang Liang and Xiao He under his command, but there is only one person missing, Han Xin.

Thinking of this, he also thought of Wang Hua's powerful generals like clouds, and he was very envious.

After a few words of comfort, he also heard the news of Mo Ju's defeat at this time, which gave him a headache.

Could it be that he wants to be stuck in Nanhetao alive? He was very excited when he arrived in Nanhetao, but he is not excited now. Looking at the green grass all over the sky, he feels that this Hetao is like a living coffin.

Apodagan left again.

He heard the news from the scouts in front that many troops rushed to Fengzhou from land and water, and many ships appeared on the river, especially dozens of large ships.

When the army arrived in Fengzhou, Aboda was not afraid. It is estimated that the war in Tubo was over, and the troops drawn out filled up the defense line of Lingzhou.These troops must be drawn to Toyosu, and strangled on this twist.Ships can also understand that last time less than [-] ships were used to mobilize food and supplies to Fengzhou, but Lingzhou built more than [-] ships a while ago.This is not difficult. Wang Hua has many prisoners of war in his hands, and there is no shortage of labor.There are many thick old trees on Liupan Mountain, and there is no need to worry about wood.As long as they are cut down, they will float along the river to Lingzhou.He had already built many huge sea boats, and these river boat technologies were just a piece of cake for Wang Hua.Moreover, these ships can also improve the water transportation between the two plains from Lingzhou to Shengzhou after the war.

The arrival of these ships is undoubtedly to strengthen the vigilance of the Yellow River.

But what worries him most is the building boat.

Hearing the news, he immediately rode to the bank of the Yellow River, looked at it with binoculars for a long time, returned with a serious expression, and said to Mochuo, "Khan, we have to find a way."

"what happened?"

"Great Khan, as I said yesterday, this Queyue Formation was temporarily formed by Wang Hua. There are many imperfections, including chariots, building boats, and ropes. If you use high-quality chariots, add building boats If you replace it with a steel cable, it will be an unsolvable problem. Just now I heard that a building ship arrived in Fengzhou, and I rode over to inspect it. I saw not only the building ship, but also many new-style chariots, and some thick iron chains. Also, they are carrying some spears. Some spears are nearly ten feet long, and some are very short, but have a thick rear handle and a thin front handle. The tip of the spear is tapered and very sharp. These two types of spears may It is used to strengthen the moon formation, and the spear is inlaid on the car body. The short spear is used for throwing to enhance the lethality."

"Que Yuezhen?" The corner of Mochu's mouth twitched.

Of course, the Yueyue formation has weaknesses, it can defend but not attack, but now Wang Hua is controlling the natural danger of the Yellow River, it is also difficult to land, and if he lands forcibly, he will also suffer heavy losses.If you attack from the south, those prisoners of war can help defend the city and use it to attack. How can Mo Chuo not know that this is asking for a dead end.Therefore, the Blood Battalion army had to come to attack in person.

But with less manpower, Mo Chuai didn't even think that the Blood Camp was so arrogant. If it really had to be so arrogant, Mo Chuu would be happy.If a large army is separated, they will have to guard the Yellow River and deal with the coming army of the Russian secret service. It is unrealistic to fight on both sides.

But with Que Yuezhen, the nature is different.The counties in the southern states can use prisoners of war to pass through Beicheng, as long as a small amount of blood is left behind to stabilize the morale of the army.In this way, the main force is drawn to the north, which can not only deal with the Russian secret service, but also use the Queyue formation as a bridgehead at any time.It's not for attacking, but with this bridgehead, the blood battalion can transfer troops from anywhere in the Yellow River, and it will become very passive in Nanhetao.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"We withdraw."

"withdraw?"

"Yes, the only option is to withdraw. Khan, look again, another large army from the Blood Camp entered the surrendered city in the east yesterday. Although the city wall is tall, did the Blood Camp use that kind of trebuchet?"

"You mean they did this on purpose, so that the city could be used to lure Russian agents into ambush?"

"Exactly, our army is now under siege in Nanhetao, and the Yellow River is blocked. As long as the blood battalion sends a small number of troops to patrol the Yellow River, it can block our army. He can calmly eat our reinforcements. And because of time constraints , even if they are deployed, they will not be able to mobilize many troops. So our current situation is very dangerous."

"But how do we withdraw?"

"Khan, there is still a way. We can send a letter to His Highness immediately when His Royal Highness's army has not yet reached Yinshan Mountain, and the patrol of the blood camp is a bit slack, asking him to continue to lead the army south, but we can continue to increase reinforcements to confuse the enemy. In this way, we can slow down the speed and buy us time to retreat."

"Guan Jian, how do we withdraw now?"

"It's difficult to evacuate, but it's not impossible. Dahan, you see, the river water has reached the Linzhou area, and it's starting to pant. There's no way for ships to navigate. To the east is Lanzhou in the Tang Dynasty. We can find a gentle river. Send the army to the east. Because of Chang Yuankai's transfer of troops, there are many checkpoints from Lanzhou to Shuozhou and Yunzhou, but the troops are very empty. It is a safe route to retreat to the desert from this route, although the distance is long. .”

Tun Yugu also smiled wryly, it's not only that simple, but it's also an unavoidable solution, it's better than being trapped to death in Nanhetao.

But silently hesitated.

Abo Dagan and Tun Yugu knew what was on his mind. Although this time they gained a lot in the early stage, they got many people, war horses, and spoils of war, but the blood camp joined later, and the sacrifice was also very painful.Silently sip this is not to save face.

Needless to say, after returning, some tribes who are dissatisfied with Mo Chuai will definitely laugh at Mo Chuai.This time stealing the chicken was a waste of money, and the way of evacuation was even more ridiculous.To say that withdrawing is to cover up his ugliness is better to say that he was beaten into a mess by the blood camp, like a mouse, sneaking out in desperation.

Aboda glanced at Tun Yugu. Recently, he suffered a series of defeats. Although the first loss was not directly related to him, and the second loss was forced, they were the two most serious losses since the Turks went south. .Therefore, he felt that he was not speaking loudly anymore, so he could only wink at Tun Yugu and let him persuade him.

Tun Yugu looked at the map, and then took Abo Dagan's words and said: "The best strategy for now is to go. The troops from all walks of life in Hebei in the Tang Dynasty are waiting and watching. Even if reinforcements are sent to Shanyu Dufu, There are not many troops. If we find that our losses are heavy and we retreat from the east of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Na may send heavy troops to intercept us. At that time, our situation will be more dangerous. Therefore, we must not only withdraw, but also quickly But we are not without gains. It has nothing to do with the people or supplies. We got the longbow and the harassment tactics of Wang Hua. With these two things in our hands, our Turkic power is just around the corner. All we have to pay now is patience .”

"The prime minister is right, and we have lost a group of soldiers, so there is no remedy. Now there are many young and middle-aged men in various tribes in Hetao. We will force them out and bring them back to Turkic. When they arrive in our country, they have no idea I can only surrender with peace of mind. Most of these young adults grew up on horseback since they were young, and with a little training, they are all powerful warriors."

It may not be known whether a warrior is a warrior or not, but this is to save face for Mo Shui.If they want to withdraw, the time is very tight, and it may not be possible to take all the young and middle-aged people away, but it is not difficult to catch 5 to [-] young and middle-aged people.In this way, if you are lucky and do not encounter trouble on the way back, you can bring back nearly [-] people, plus the property, people and horses captured in the early stage, you can also confess to various ethnic groups in the country.

But after this ravages, there will be a huge disaster on both sides of Hetao. Most of the people in Beihetao were escorted to the desert by Mosuo, and only a part of them fled to Henan in time.Then Henan was robbed again, and now if the young and middle-aged are drawn out, many families will have their wives and children separated.Even if Wang Hua accepted it, it was tantamount to accepting a hard-hit area.This is also a severe revenge for Wang Hua.

Silence finally moved.

At this time, Tun Yugu added another sentence, saying, "But we still have to do one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Seeing the current situation, if we don't take any action, it will also arouse Wang Hua's suspicion." He then said an idea.

So Wang Hua saw a scene where many Turks on the other side of the river led the people to cut down various trees from some mountains.Then transport it to a place not far from the river.

He frowned, and suddenly understood what Mochu meant.

Mo Chuan also knew that he was trapped in an extra-large iron cage. It was impossible to build a ship, and he didn't have the technology to build a ship. Even if he had, the soldiers were not familiar with water warfare.So I thought of this clumsy way to roll these big trees into the water.Tie it up with rope.One by one, they were forcibly discharged to the other side of the river.Although this method is very clumsy, even when they were tied up, these soldiers became living targets for the blood camp.

But better than dying of sleepiness.If we cooperate with the Russian special service army to go south, instead of using soldiers, it is also a way to use civilians to complete this task.

But this is really not the case. It seems that the Turks are still not good at water warfare.In fact, at that time, as long as the floating bridge on the water is almost built, the ships on both sides will attack, and without guarding, the ropes of the floating bridge can be easily cut off.Once guarded, he still became a live arrow target.Even Wang Hua could see it built.This pontoon bridge is not a regular pontoon bridge. It is very inconvenient for people to step on the round tree trunk, and it is directly on the water. Wang Hua doubts that some Turkic warriors will faint directly on it.

Also don't even think about the horse on this pontoon, and the marching speed is also very slow.At that time, I can still kill calmly.Of course, since Mo Chuai has arranged this way, there are other backers.Generally speaking, this is a desperate style of play.

Wang Hua didn't ask at all.

Of course, he also wanted to send people to the south to look for information, but the Turkic patrols were stricter than before, Wang Hua made a choice in his mind, and it was better not to move.Continue to paralyze the opponent.Thinking of this, he hated Shi Yugen a little bit. If it wasn't for this person, with An Jiewu and the others serving as internal correspondents in Turkic, he could get a lot of useful information.However, this good move was ruined by the old lady.

So, on this strange twist, the dawn is quiet here.

A few days later, the scouts reported that Erqin was very close to Yinshan Mountain, and the blood camp also focused on Erteqin.

However, at this time, the soldiers came in to report that the Turkic patrolling soldiers on the other side had disappeared, and the people who had been coerced by the Turks began to panic.

"It's gone?" Wang Hua immediately took the map over, looked at it for a while and shouted, "It's not good."

"Erro, what's wrong?"

"This old guy, a strong man cut off his wrist and ran away with me."

"Run away?" Li Xuejun asked incomprehensibly.

"Yes, I ran away. No wonder the Russian Secret Service troops are moving southward so slowly. Gather the troops immediately."

The troops assembled and began to cross the river. At first, just in case, they set up a moon formation on the river beach.However, there was not even a Turkic person to stop him, Wang Hua felt more and more bad, and accelerated the speed of the ferry.When the army reached the south bank, Wang Hua personally led an army of [-] people, heading east all the way to Shengzhou, and there was not a single Turkic man in sight.

Only the thousands of soldiers summoned from various surrendered tribes continued to attack Shengzhou City.

This is also Tun Yugu's second strategy.The first is to cut down big trees to confuse Wang Hua.And in order to prevent information leakage, strengthen patrols.It was not until the army attacked the Yellow River that all the soldiers left on patrol were allowed to return quickly.The second strategy is to take fewer young and middle-aged people back, but also to maintain the safety of the trip.Otherwise, Wang Hua would be able to see the flaws if there were any clues.At that time, it will become the feet of the snake.

There is a sentence that Tun Yugu didn't say in his heart, what is the transfer of young adults.If you lose, you lose. There is no need to cover up.But in this battle, he learned a tactic, even if he got the longbow, he failed, and in Tun Yugu's heart, he thought it was worth it.In particular, that tactic is simply set for countries on horseback.

If a young and middle-aged man is captured, not to mention the delay, there may be an accident.

Therefore, under his auspices, the speed of capture was accelerated, and only [-] young and middle-aged men were taken with them, and they hurriedly evacuated.

The action is very neat.

Wang Hua was very annoyed. Seeing the thousands of warriors of various races who stopped to attack the city in fright, Wang Hua whispered, "Kill."

Then he left and inquired about the news. After a while, he finally figured out the Turkic arrangement.However, it was too late, and Mo Chuo fled to Lanzhou with the army.It's obviously not worth it to chase after yourself.Moreover, in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Hua could suspect that the troops from various states and counties rushed over and shot him coldly in the back.Had to give up.

But when he heard that Mo Chuai had captured [-] young and middle-aged men before he left, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Erlang, why are you laughing?" Li Xuejun was very puzzled, these young men were not only the source of soldiers, but also the main labor force.They were captured, and many of their families were broken up, which would have a very serious impact on the management of this land in the future.Why is Wang Hua laughing?
Wang Hua pulled her aside, and said quietly: "Mo Chuo retreated this time, it was indeed my mistake."

Thinking of this, he scratched his head, this Mo Chuai is really difficult to deal with.Then he said: "But before leaving, in order to cover up his ugliness and cause trouble for me, he played a trick. In fact, he didn't know that he was helping me, and he was helping me a lot."

Having said that, his face was filled with a smile again.
