Chapter 476

After half a month's arduous March, Qin mubai led 100000 troops to Huangshui County under the rule of Shanzhou. It's like a practice, and it's also very conducive to the training and integration of the new army.

In fact, the real Han people account for less than a quarter of these 100000 people, and most of them are the Hu people of tiele, Tujue, Huihe and even Tubo. But as for the Western army as the core group, other people are gradually assimilated. Most of the Hu people in the army gradually accepted and got used to the orders and various living habits of the Tang army, and also learned some simple Chinese for daily communication. As Li Shimin said, the Tang Dynasty has always been tolerant of the "Han Yi family" policy. In the past, there were many Hu people in the Tang army. In addition, Qin mubai is now responsible for himself. Therefore, the officers and men of the Kansai army are very friendly to these new Hu soldiers. Even the Tubo soldiers who once fought to death, the officers and men of the Kansai army show their magnanimity and treat each other equally.

This makes the new Hu sergeant. The worries of the future have been eliminated. Naturally, the atmosphere in the army is getting more and more harmonious.

After a little rectification of the army in Huangshui River, Qin mubai sent a quick horse to Shanzhou to report the situation, so that the remaining generals in Shanzhou could make preparations in advance. the second day. The governor of Shanzhou and the city guard left by Li daozong will come to Huangshui to greet Qin mubai, along with the envoys of dantan and the imperial court.

Qin mubai first led the generals to meet the messengers and listen to the imperial edict.

Just as Qin mubai and Su dingfang had expected, after the rebellion in the west of garqin mausoleum and the incident of Hou Junji, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was really angered. The imperial court made a strong stress response - to fight back and swear to destroy Tubo!

The imperial court sent Li Daliang, the right guard general, the left guard general, the baiqiling, the right guard general, Li Junxian, the baiqiling, the right guard general, and the left guard general, Qin Tong, the deputy baiqiling, the right guard general. They led 150000 men and horses of the third guard to support Lanzhou and obey Qin mubai's orders. Together with the men and horses of the Western army, they took the initiative to defeat Tubo!

In addition, the imperial court also ordered Yuchi Jingde, the general manager of jiannandao March, to join forces from Sichuan to cooperate with Qin mubai.

Apart from the 50000 troops of Hou Junji's headquarters and the troops of Su dingfang's headquarters guarding Lanzhou, Qin mubai now has 60000 Hui He friendly troops, plus more than 50000 Lanzhou recruits transferred by Li daozong to dafichuan, a total of 150000. At that time, the troops of Li Daliang and others will arrive, just 300000!

This figure is so familiar - when the kaerqinling mausoleum went down to the plateau and kowtowed to Helong, it was the time for 300000 troops!

Now, with the exchange of offensive and defensive forces, even the forces have just changed.

The imperial edict also specially issued a very important personnel appointment, that is, Li Ke, the governor of Youzhou, was sent to Lanzhou to serve as the commander of guanxi Daoxing army!

This official post is somewhat similar to the Secretary of the Party group or director of the political department in our modern army. Although Chang Shi did not directly control the military power and did not lead the troops to fight, he could directly represent the imperial court to exercise the important power of personnel appointment and removal and strategic veto; he could question, rectify, report and impeach all the actions of the general - in fact, supervising the army!

As soon as the edict is issued, the three armed forces are excited!

The imperial court has finally increased troops to Lanzhou! A while ago, Lanzhou alone fought against the hostile forces of Tubo and the western regions with the strength of a county. It was hard enough. The front is too long, the troops are poor, the logistics are poor, and the food and grass are not enough. The bitter days have finally come to an end!

Nearly two-thirds of the total forces of the Tang Dynasty, 400000 troops joined the Lanzhou Helong front. This is really a national war. Such a war. A few years ago, there was a fight against the Turkic Khanate in the north of the Tang Dynasty, but the scale at that time was not as big as this one.

China's great Tang Dynasty, the sword is finally shining!

After receiving the imperial edict, Qin mubai asked the officers and soldiers to convey the news to each other and boost the morale of the army. Then Qin mubai invited the messenger in private and asked him.

The emissary was a walking scribe of Hongwen library. His surname was Zhou. He was once a colleague of Qin bin, the second elder brother. He often ran to each other's door, so Qin mubai was familiar with him. Qin mubai asked him how the imperial court suddenly transferred King Wu to Lanzhou? It's not easy to get to and from the mountains, and Youzhou is also an important border military area. As the leader of Youzhou, King Wu was transferred to Lanzhou to supervise the army. Such personnel appointment is really rare!

Zhou Shuli told Qin mubai exactly what happened at the court meeting that day, but without any subjective comments or comments.

Qin mubai finished listening. My heart jumped up. Even if there was no presence at that time, just imagine the tense and strange atmosphere in the court that day, which is enough to make people sweat.

To put it bluntly, it's Li Tai and Chang sun Wuji. At an important juncture, he launched a joint attack on the Emperor Li Shimin, hoping to take the initiative from the beginning of the war. At that time, Chang sun Wuji really made a wonderful move, which was a "magic stroke" -- he recommended Li Tai, king of Wei, to supervise the army in Lanzhou.

However, it is obvious that Li Shimin penetrates their intentions at a glance and is more sophisticated. Although the two people in trouble. One is his confidant and uncle, and the other is his most important son. But at this moment, with Li Shimin's character, can we let the affairs of the country be decided by others? ——So. Li Shimin came to push the boat with the current and use his strength; then, the king of Wu, who had been out of people's sight for a long time, turned over and came back!In his early years, Li Ke, who kept a low profile, listened to Qin mubai's good advice. After so many years of low-key, finally, "if you don't fly for three years, you'll soar to the sky; if you don't sing for three years, you'll be amazing"

this idiom in Han Feizi is just right: make a big splash!

The soldiers outside the camp are running around telling each other and clapping hands to celebrate. Qin mubai took the imperial edict, but he overturned the Schisandra bottle in his heart.

At this moment, Qin mubai himself did not know how many years he had been looking forward to, and how many times he had dreamed that the imperial court had sent countless money to pay soldiers and horses. But when I wake up, it's always empty. These days. Qin mubai had to endure so much that he couldn't go on. But from the beginning to the end, Qin mubai gritted his teeth and insisted that he didn't ask the imperial court for a soldier. At most, he took advantage of the victory. Ask for some food like a beggar.

Is it easy for the army and people of Lanzhou to confront the powerful Tubo, Beiting and western regions spontaneously?

If it had not been for Xue Rengui's unexpected help, it would not have been known who was the hand of the two pass deer in Yuyang. Where did Qin mubai return with 100000 troops?

After the great victory of Yuyang, it was originally in Qin mubai's plan. At that time, it was an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the situation to return to Gaochang and start to manage the western regions! But before the army had been reorganized and had time to breathe, Hou Junji had another accident. This had to rush back.

Everything is like a dream.

Now, Datang finally stopped watching Qin mubai fight alone, the lion who had been sleeping for many years. After the rebellion in western Xinjiang, Li Shimin, as if awakened from a stabbing pain, said that "the garqin mausoleum is digging its own grave.". As a result, 150000 troops from three routes rushed to Lanzhou, and 50000 troops from Jiannan road left Sichuan and Sichuan in the west, just like showing their claws and tusks!

"Mubai, great! Our Kansai army has finally made it! At last, the Tang Dynasty sent Wang Shi to help the battle! " Xue Rengui is also very excited. Lian said, "when I followed the commander to guard Lanzhou and attack Gaochang earlier, the commander said more than once that his majesty always wanted to make great efforts to use troops against the western regions. And want to completely solve the Tubo problem. However, although there are ideas, they are extremely difficult to achieve. Now, our wise and powerful emperor finally led the Tang Dynasty to take this step! ——If you know the spirit of the commander in heaven. I'm sure I'll be glad, too! "

"Yes Qin mubai gave a faint smile and said, "countless lives and blood have finally come in exchange for today's step. As a matter of fact, although my father has always shown himself as a warrior, he is as wise as a fool, and his heart is as clear as a mirror. He knows his Majesty's difficulties. With his own death, he has fulfilled the mission and loyalty of a soldier. At the same time, he has helped his majesty remove the constraints on the court hall, and he has pushed me to this position today. "

"In retrospect, Xue will wake up. It's true... " Xue Rengui sighed, nodded rather sentimentally and said, "a great commander who has killed countless people all his life with a golden spear carved on a tiger's head has a Buddhist heart. I don't go to hell. Who goes to hell Mubai, Xue in this life, can never surpass the marshal! In the future, I don't want to hear anyone praise me as a general and war god of the Tang Dynasty. The only God of war in the Tang Dynasty is Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo! "

Qin Shubao gave a smile, patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said, "Rengui, it's hard to match under the fame. Don't care about these things. Let others say what they say. We just need to do what we should do honestly. "

"Well, I see." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "mubai, in fact, I have always had a question to ask marshal and you since very early, but I didn't dare to ask you."

"Ask

"Why is the war in Lanzhou so tight that you and the commander never asked the imperial court for help?" Xue Rengui said, "when Gaochang rebelled, the commander didn't wait for the imperial edict to give command, but led a lonely army to fight out. Later, the Tibetan soldiers came down on the border. Why didn't you ask the imperial court for reinforcements?"

"Among them, it is related to the national policy and also to the major sensitive issues of the imperial court. I don't want to ask for reinforcements. First, I don't want to make the emperor feel embarrassed and put him in a passive and unfavorable position, because he is the biggest, last and only backer of Lanzhou. Second, I don't want to interfere in the imperial situation and national policies as a feudal official. This is taboo

Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, "Lanzhou is actually a wrestling field from the beginning. On the surface, it is the military contest between the great Tang Dynasty and the Hu Yi people of the neighboring countries. In fact, it is the supporters of the two ideologies, two political forces and two national policies of the great Tang Dynasty, who are fighting to death. We can see the swords and guns on the battlefield, but the politics and tactics are more dangerous than blood
