Chapter 158 His Majesty's Camp Tour
The sun was still very strong, and the dust of the loess city rose. However, the trees inside and outside the city had already lost a lot of leaves, and the branches were still yellow. So the people in Kucha City knew that autumn was already on the road.
On the day of the beginning of autumn, Li Ye met Chu Zheng in the Western Regions Protectorate. The latter was the vanguard envoy of Shangguan Qingcheng. He came to Kucha earlier to contact the Protectorate and met Li Ye's.
"The Wolf Tooth Army has arrived at the northern foot of Jinshan Mountain. With the strength of the army, it can come to Kucha within seven days." Chu Zheng reported to Li Ye that they came west from the grassland, and the road was much easier than that of Hexi, and the speed was faster than that of the Tiger Guards.
"The army ran for a long distance. After entering the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, they rested in Kucha for a while, brought the magic weapons, weapons and food and fodder in the warehouse, and then stationed in Gumozhou in the west." Li Ye told Chu Zheng that he would go back and follow Shangguan Qingcheng to explain.
During this Western Expedition, the Tang Dynasty dispatched many troops and horses, and they all squeezed into Kucha to station naturally would not work. Those who came first need to enter the battlefield first, and after replenishing supplies in Kucha and other places, they should move forward and enter their respective positions for preparation.
Gumo Prefecture is located at the intersection of the Hulu River. It is located more than a hundred miles northwest of Dashi City, just on the banks of the Hulu River.
These two places are already the second of the three most western cities controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate. Going further northwest, the first big city you meet will be Baersikhan City. Putting the Wolf Tooth Army here is naturally to attack Baersikhan City and the vast land behind it, including Sailye City.
This is the North Line.
Four hundred miles southwest of Gumo Prefecture, there is a city in the mountains called Weitouzhou, which will be the place where the Tiger Guards will be stationed. It is closer to Shule City, and the wars to attack Shule City and the southern part of the Black Khanate will be led by the Tiger Guards.
This is the southern line.
The march arrangements for these two lines were decided after discussion with Li Ye and Zhang Huaishen.
The Wolf Tooth Army and the Tiger Guard Army were stationed in Gumozhou and Weitouzhou for a while. After raising their energy, it was time for the weather to get cooler, which was suitable for the army to fight.
After Chu Zheng returned, Li Ye called Zhang Huaishen to continue to study the route and arrangements for the Black Khanate.
The two of them deduced the battle for a long time and repeatedly confirmed that there were no omissions. When they left the map and returned to the case after taking the case, Zhang Huaishen felt a little moved.
"The current Black Khanate, including the entire Qihe River Basin, is the former jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, not much inch, and it is only the western part of the Tianshan Mountains and to the west.
"Before, the Kunxu Prefecture, Qisha Prefecture, Daqin Prefecture, Shufeng, Tiaozhi and other large areas of rich land south of the Wuhu River were not mastered by the Black Khanate. In the northwest of the Anxi Prefecture, including Huoxun, the "Tartars" were willing to surrender, and the "Tartars" were willing to surrender, and the "Trumps" were very rich. The "Trumps" were very small!
Speaking of this, Zhang Huaishen said angrily: "The Black Khanate claims to be a dynasty, considers itself to be prosperous, and is unparalleled in the Qihe River Basin. In fact, it is really not worthy of its reputation."
Judging from his appearance, it seems that the territory of the Black Khanate should be larger. Since it inherits the foundation left in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the country established should be completely inherited. This will be considered as a deprecation of the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye laughed silently. He could understand the other party's mood. In fact, this is the same as the failure of the Zhao Song Dynasty to inherit the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This reflects not only Zhao Song's incompetence, but also an insult to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye saw this more thoroughly, so he seemed calm. He said: "The people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the early years were too majestic and powerful, and the territory they opened up was too vast.
"At that time, the city of Talas was in the heart of the heart. Not only was the Tochar tribe in the north and south of the Wuhu River all under the control of the Anxi Protectorate, but the southern part of the jurisdiction was directly connected to India, and there were no small states in the middle. In the southwest, the Persian Governor's Office was established, which could be said to be very deep into the Persian border."
As the former governor of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Huaishen still knows the things in the west very well.
When the Arabs were so powerful that the Crescent Sect invaded Persia, their prince Beilus asked for help from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty established the Persian Governor's Office in Jiling City, and also let Beilus be the governor for several years.
Li Ye continued: "After all, the Black Khanate is just a small country. It is already a blessing to be able to exist for a while and obtain the qualification to survive independently.
"I hope they understand the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that is to play the piano for the cow. Their level is too low, and they cannot see these things, imagine, and even understand what the Tang Dynasty is."
Zhang Huaisin bowed to the point, "Your Majesty said it very well, it is indeed the case."
As he said, he said sincerely: "Being born into a Tang Dynasty, being born in another prosperous era in the Tang Dynasty, and following Your Majesty to establish the prosperity and glory of the Tang Dynasty is really the greatest luck in my life!"
The Guiyi Army was once lonely outside the border, with enemies on all sides, and held up the Tang flag and fought endlessly. Zhang Huaishen was the most conscious of what the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was. What he said now is full of affection and touching.
Li Ye just nodded and didn't say much.
In fact, the well frogs in Central Asia have had hope of seeing the sea.
If the Anxi Protectorate has always existed, those who are ambitious and knowledgeable among them who can open their eyes to see the world, follow the Anxi Protectorate to the east, and may understand what the sea of stars is.
Unfortunately, God did not favor him. He gave them this opportunity before, but later took it back.
The Anxi Protectorate once occupied the entire Western Regions and Central Asia, facing Persia to the west and Tianzhu to the south. There were no small states and fishes between the three. Now, the Tang Dynasty rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate, and everything must have been over.
Seven days later, the Wolf Fang Army arrived in Kucha. Without waiting for Shangguan Qingcheng to come and meet, Li Ye went to the camp that the Wolf Fang Army had set up outside the city.
"I don't know that Your Majesty is coming and you haven't come out to greet me. Please forgive me!" In front of the central army's tent, Shangguan Qingcheng bowed to Li Ye with a general.
"No need to say this, just flatter me and take me to see the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty." Li Ye waved his hand and signaled Shangguan Qingcheng that there was no need to be polite.
To this day, as the Tang army conquered all directions, it was invincible, and its military morale was like a rainbow, and it had raised more than one military cultivator at the level of famous generals. Putting aside Li Xian, King Qi, Zhao Polu, Yang Xingmi, etc., all have achieved the level of famous generals one after another.
However, Shangguan Qingcheng is still unique in the army and his status cannot be shaken. This is not only because Li Ye treats her very favorably, but also because her realm has not stopped improving. I don’t know where the end is.
Li Ye has heard of the name "Sage of War".
But before, it was just thought that it was a legendary existence. It was rumored that Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Huo Qubing, Li Jing and others had reached this level, but there was no evidence or clear record. It was just that the disciples of the military strategists thought so.
Perhaps Shangguan Qingcheng can prove that is the realm of a military saint above famous generals?
If the Tang army fought to Baghdad, to the West, and to the border that the Mongolian cavalry had "had" reached, would a soldier come in such a war?
Li Ye didn't think too much, and under the banner of patrolling the military camp and comforting the soldiers, he followed Shangguan Qingcheng around the camp.
In ordinary situations, when the emperor comes to military intelligence inspections, there will naturally be a large group of generals, guards and other figures behind him, but at present, there is no such person behind Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng.
The Wolf Tooth Army has become accustomed to this scene.
No matter where they are stationed, Li Ye will often appear in the camp. In a small number of times, they will communicate with the soldiers, such as observing them to train, chatting with them, and examining their abilities... But most of the time, Li Ye will follow Shangguan Qingcheng to "survey" the camp.
The barracks of the Langya Army, from the large tents of the central army to the kitchen stoves, were left with Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng.
Sometimes Li Ye appears incarnated as the Eye of the Emperor, and sometimes the Lord will come. Whenever the latter situation occurs, the generals and schoolmen in the camp will suffer. Because His Majesty the Emperor likes to compete with others, he also calls it a guide to the military skills and improve the combat power of the army.
In this way, the wolf teeth army has a kind of personal army nature no matter how you look at it.
After the entire Wolf Fang Army was a Qi training monk, some new soldiers always looked proud and proud when they mentioned this matter, and sometimes they were excited to train for several days and nights.
The veterans would appear at this time, slapped the new recruits on the forehead, letting them go to rest, and the old god told them that since the Qingzhou period, the Wolf Tooth Army has been His Majesty's personal army. What's so fuss about this?
Moreover, Your Majesty has entered the battle formation of the Wolf Tooth Army and fought on the battlefield with the soldiers, such as when the Huang Chao Rebellion was pacified.
In short, Shangguan Qingcheng has a unique position in the entire Chang'an Imperial Army, and no one only regards her as the leader of the army.
"Among the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Wolf Fang Army, the high-level Qi training stage has accounted for 30%, and the grade of the war horse has been improved accordingly in recent years. In addition to the large and small magic weapons of each purpose, on the battlefield, even if the Wolf Fang Army does not cooperate with the infantry, it can still attack the city and capture the village itself."
Shangguan Qingcheng secretly glanced at Li Ye, and saw that the other party was not squinting, so he looked at it a few more times. The whiter the face, the redder the lips became.
She continued: "When it comes to the high Qi training stage, even the tall city walls, monks can leaps up. Now, the monks' war horses also have this strength. When fighting in the future, if necessary, the Wolf Tooth Army can go directly to the city wall, or even jump over the city wall, and directly kill into the city!"
Li Ye kept nodding when he heard this. This was indeed a scene that would make him feel happy if he thought about it.
He turned his head to look at the other party, and was about to praise him, but suddenly he found that the two of them had walked out of the camp at some point. Their red and white faces looked gorgeous in the sunset, and they were shy, which made him confused.
"For the Tang Dynasty and Dashi, the Black Khanate was the intermediate buffer zone. The task of the Wolf Fang Army's first battle was to cooperate with the arrangement of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, so that this buffer zone would no longer exist in the blink of an eye, and would completely become our frontline, and would not give Dashi a chance to react!"
Li Ye didn't think too much and focused on the battle situation. "After arriving in Gumozhou, you should hurry up and accumulate your energy. Once the military order is issued, you will have to send out thunder to let these local buns in Central Asia see what the elite of the Tang Dynasty are!"
"I accept the order!"
