Chapter 845: Battlefield Autumn Soldiers (Part 1)
On June 17, a letter from Tocharo Yi Junjie arrived in Shule. The latest news from Tocharo region was brought.
Shule's strategy of raising food was frustrated.
On the evening of the 17th, after consulting with his subordinates, the Shule Jiedushi Jia Huan ordered the army to leave the Pamir Mountains and attack the countries of Tochar. He promoted the army to fight against the unjust officials! He used the swords and firearms of the Zhou army to win food and dignity for the Zhou army!
Because the reason is only within the range of the cannon.
Shule, who was in the moment of rapid advance, immediately mobilized. Food, gunpowder, cotton jackets were at the points, shipped, camels, horses, cattle and sheep were preparing. The government issued an order to hire civilians to transport them, with daily wages of 1 silver dollar. After strict training, the recruits in the barracks received the order to go out.
The war is coming!
Three days later, on the morning of June 20th, it was sunny and the autumn was clear and the weather was clear and the blue sky was white.
In the barracks south of Shule City, drums roared. On the school ground, teams of soldiers lined up, then walked directly from the point and general stage, stepping past the majestic military music, stepped out of the barracks, and headed to the front line.
On the north side of the school ground, Jia Huanzheng saw off the school off the upcoming Chen Jian, Yang Ji, Huang Guan and others.
Jia Huan was wearing a stone-green scholar's shirt, with a jade pendant hanging on his waist, with a straight figure and a calm temperament. He held a wine bowl to greet the generals and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War has said: The Lord should not provoke anger and fight, and the generals should not be angry and fight in anger. However, some battles have to be fought! I wish you all the generals a victory in the flag! In Tochar, you will show the majesty of my Great Zhou."
Chen Qian was twenty-one years old at the time, wearing a white robe, starry eyes and handsome face, and a general's sword hanging on his waist. He was slender and heroic. He said loudly: "I will never let you down the expectations of the envoy." He brought the generals to drink and got off the general's platform. A servant had already led a good horse over. Chen Qian turned his horse over and said in a deep voice: "Set out!"
The generals each boarded their horses and merged into the team, followed the 30,000 troops out of the barracks, cities, and mountain passes.
The general led the battle to the west and marched to the west, and Pingming played the flute and marched!
Jia Huan was watching the generals on the school grounds, and the army left, and his heart was quiet.
He knew that the avenue outside the camp, the streets in the city, and the official road outside the city were on both sides of the fathers, wives, and children of the soldiers who had just taken off their old clothes and put on war robes. How many of them could come back?
However, he was stationed in Shule and was responsible for the food in the Battle of Beiting!
…
He led an army of 30,000 to take the famous Wakhan ancient road from Wuyun Mountain Pass and arrive at the Gumi Kingdom on the banks of the Wuhu River.
Pang Ze of Yutian Town led the newly recruited 20,000 soldiers out of the Pamir Mountains to guard the capture, cross Lianyun Castle, and then along the banks of the Wahan River to reach the Humi Kingdom.
The two armies will meet in Segashen City, the capital of the Gumi Kingdom.
On June 28, Pang Ze and his former army arrived at Lianyun Castle. Looking at the steep castle located in the mountains and valleys, the continuous Hindu Kush Mountains blocked the view. Looking around, they were all covered with peaks and snow.
Pang Ze sighed to his followers: "It's really a dangerous place! No wonder the battle between the Tang and Tubo is a strategic place."
Because Chen Qian made contributions in the Western Regions, he gave up his obsession and did not want to go back to the capital to participate in the imperial examinations. Instead, he wanted to do something. This time, Zi Yu sent him to recruit 20,000 troops and followed Chen Qian, a famous Zhou army general, to attack Tocharo, which made him feel that the opportunity to show his strength was coming.
As a student, he was awarded the judge of Shule Army in the army.
Several followers laughed and said, "Pangdaren is knowledgeable and discusses the present." The Us Tibet area was the Dusi of the Zhou Dynasty, and there were ministers stationed in Tibet to participate in the management on behalf of the central court. Lianyun Castle was in a dangerous terrain, but in fact it had no great military value.
The original Xiaobolu and Dabolu were both places where the herdsmen of the Great Zhou lived.
Pang Ze smiled and walked forward with a horse. The horse's hooves stepped on the valley road and recited enthusiastically: "Don't you see the horse walking on the snow on the seaside, the plain sand is vast and yellow into the sky..."
…
When Jia Huan sent 50,000 troops to fight Tochari, the messenger he sent had already gone to Beiting. Although he obtained the authority of Shule, Shuye and the river, it did not include the authority to start a war against Tochari. He needed to report to Governor Qi.
The situation during the war was special, so the decree first and then the Governor Qi did not have any slight ties with Jia Huan for this. The victory of the Battle of Beiting was the primary priority.
Looking at the entire map of the Western Regions, Shule, where Jia Huan is, is always on the side battlefield. The main battlefield has always been in Beiting.
But..., this is only for the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, in the early autumn of the 19th year of Yongzhi in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two empires that Jia Huan knew were in the dark clouds of war.
The Mughal Empire in India was actually at the end of its dynasty. They were defeated repeatedly in the battle with the Matras. Once, even the capital Delhi was threatened by the Matras. Only the wealthy Punjab, Sindh and other places were supported.
This situation is being found out by Yi Junjie and his party who went south of Ayan City...
…
The situation of the Persian Empire in the river is slightly more complicated...
Shule City.
After Jia Huan sent Shen Qian away, he ordered Zhang Sishui to recruit and train a new army again. At the same time, he stepped up asking Kucha for the flintlock rifle. The flintlock rifle that was specially completed by the Craftsmen's Sect will be rewarded. This is his agreement with Governor Qi.
In the evening, an autumn rain fell in the city. In a restaurant outside Shule Mansion in the city, Jia Huan and Guo Wei, the leader of the Guo family caravan who came to trade, were eating wine. Two or three Guo children were accompanying each other.
The drizzle soaked the houses in Shule City. Looking at the second floor of the restaurant, there were many black tiled corners lined up.
The second floor of the restaurant had been cleared long ago. Jia Huan looked at the rainy table next to the window, pondered slightly, and reminded: "If you have any questions, Mr. Guo was in Samarkand to ask me about the news about Shi. If possible, send someone to Shule as soon as possible to reply to me."
A young man around Guo Wei wanted to speak but stopped.
Guo Wei glanced at him, stopped him, and said with a smile: "Jia Jun is the king. The old man must do his best to bring back the news from everyone Shi."
Their goal of this trip was actually Henglus on the northern line of the Silk Road, not Samarkand, the largest city in the river. Because, from Dunhuang and the southern line of Khotan, the merchants along the way told them that the river was facing Uzbek war.
Their goods can only be sold to Henglus.
However, Jia Huan had requests, so he was willing to go to Samarkand. The Guo family's business was not the most important, and helping Jia Huan do things was the most important. Because Jia Huan would definitely make up for the losses of the Guo family.
According to the merchants along the way, the cause of this war in the river was because of Shi Jia. Emperor Abbas, the emperor of the Persian Empire, was forty-one years old and strong. He liked beauty, silk and art.
The stone master who became famous in the river was about to enter the eyes of Kalimi, the governor of the Persian Empire, and was about to offer her to the emperor.
However, everyone in Shi seemed to have noticed that they did not go to Samarkand to perform, but instead switched from the capital of Shi Kingdom, Tuoxi City to Henglus. The northern line of the Silk Road was under the control of the Uzbek Chingu Khan.
The River Governor Kalimi of the Persian Empire, joined forces with 30,000 Sogdian troops to attack and occupy the city of Henglus and bring Shijia back to Samarkand. However, this aroused the anger of the Chingu Khan, who led a 50,000 army to the Sir River. After recovering the city of Henglus, the troops overwhelmed the river.
It is reported that Qingu Khan was also very interested in the beauty of Shijiao.
Jia Huan nodded, raised his glass, drank a glass of wine with Guo Wei, and said, "I'm working hard." He knew everything about the merchant's news. The latest news sent by Yi Junjie was that the Uzbeks and Sogdians were fighting against each other in the important places of water and land transportation in the river.
If Shi Yuhua is a beauty, she is a beauty that has the appearance of Helen and Cleopatra, which has triggered war between the two countries, it is actually mostly related to her.
In Jia Huan's opinion, it was mostly due to the Silk Road. It involved the economic interests of the two countries, so a war broke out.
However, now that the two countries have been fighting each other, Yuhua has no choice but to blame for the rumors outside. They all fall on her. I wonder how many years later, will she be labeled as "disastering the country and the people" by history?
