Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters lie about military merit
In Tang Ao's eyes, the Western Shu army, which is composed entirely of infantry, is no more than a doll with no ability to fight back. Instead of defending the city and switching to field warfare, it is nothing more than spending more artillery shells. Tang Ao will not pay too much attention to it.
What really caught Tang Ao's attention was another piece of news, which was the movement of the Huns.
A million Xiongnu army has entered Huizhou from Ganzhou. This is the rhythm of running. Once this group of people enters the north, it will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored. No matter where they appear by then, they will probably
It will lead to chaos. Once the rear is unstable and cannot provide enough money and food, the Chinese army will be really in danger.
When Wei Chao saw Tang Ao coming to the sand table, his eyes were not on Zhangcheng, which was fifty miles away, but when he landed in Huizhou, he knew what Tang Ao was worried about. He couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, the Huns are only known as millions.
, in fact, most of them are slave troops, and the real Huns cavalry is only about 170,000, which is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, the flat city walls and high pools are strong, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. If the Huns want to attack,
It’s not that easy to get off.”
Tang Ao shook his head slightly when he heard this, "Pingcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We know this, and the Huns must also know it. But what if they don't leave from Pingcheng?"
"Don't go from Pingcheng?" This was the first time Wei Chao heard this statement. He also came to the sand table and looked at it carefully before saying: "Where can they go if they don't go to Pingcheng? Are they going to attack Jinzhou or
Could it be Shaanzhou? This is unlikely."
Tang Ao smiled, but did not answer. There were some things that he only knew. It was like Long Ya had sent news that the magistrate of Shaanxi Province had already been attracted by Wei Qian'er and became another one besides Yang Guozhong.
A high-ranking state official who rebelled against the enemy.
Speaking of this matter, it was because Yang Guozhong's affairs were leaked, and then Luo Wan'er revealed another news. Wei Qian'er should have other internal agents in Dahua, and their status is comparable to that of Yang Guozhong.
Although neither Luo Waner nor Yang Guozhong knew whether the news was true, let alone who the traitor was, it still attracted Tielong's attention. He arranged for Zhang San to go to Shaanzhou to investigate. The reason for going there
, it is entirely because after the battle of Xingcheng, there were different opinions on whether to kill the common people's army or not.
The most popular places to dance at that time were Suzhou and Shaanzhou.
Facts have proved that the cause of the commotion in Suzhou was because the governor of the state, Yang Guozhong, played a role in fueling the trouble. Otherwise, the matter would not have become such a big commotion.
A problem has arisen. There is such a big fuss in Shaanzhou. Is it possible that there is also a problem with the officials here?
Following this clue, Zhang San followed the order and came to Shaanzhou, and his first reconnaissance target was Zhizhou Yansong.
As mentioned before, Yan Song is an old man from Jicheng, and in the eyes of many people, he is trustworthy. Zhang San once objected to the investigation of Yan Song, but this was the leader Tie Long's wish, and he could not disobey, so he decided to investigate first
Zhang San, who knew animal language and was able to control mice, started to take action after first clarifying this person's situation and returning his innocence.
Just as the investigation was carried out, some abnormal situations emerged one after another, which Zhang San had to pay attention to. That is why there are so many beauties in Yan Sui's mansion? Several of them are extremely beautiful,
It’s not an exaggeration to say that you can pick one out of thousands of miles.
It was normal for so many beauties to appear next to Emperor Huati Tang Ao, but it was not so unusual for them to appear in the mansion of a magistrate.
Through investigation, it was learned that Yan Shuanghuan would often give these beauties to some of his subordinates, thereby winning over many people. Among them, Deng Tong, the commander of the Shaanzhou Prefecture Army Brigade, also accepted the beauties presented by the other party. The relationship has been extremely close recently.
In the Dahua Army, the power of a state is mainly divided into two parts. One is the government represented by the prefect, and the other is the army represented by the brigade commander, which is the so-called chief military officer of the state.
Splitting the power into two is to better control this place. This is also one of the methods often used by those in power. But now, the government and the army have come together as a team, which was originally an abnormal thing.
All kinds of abnormalities made Zhang San dare not be careless, so he decided to investigate carefully. The starting point was the origin of those beauties. According to what Yan Song said to the outside world, he liked beauties, so he let his domestic slaves be there. They searched all over the north. Based on this clue, they quickly found out the truth. These beauties were not from the north at all, but from the south.
The Southland is now occupied by several foreign races. Even if Longya wants to find some people there and arrange some people, it will take a lot of effort. Yan can only send one magistrate, and his power is limited to Shaanzhou. Here, how could his domestic slaves reach the Southland and bring back the beauty?
There seems to be only one answer, and that is that Yan Song has his own channels in the Southland, and there are even people who cooperate with him. If this is the case, then there must be something wrong with him.
Zhang San reported some of the things he found, and then continued to conduct reconnaissance. His people had already followed up with another group of domestic slaves sent by Yan Sang. I believe that it won't be long before the exact news comes. At that time, who is behind him will be revealed to the world.
That's all Tang Ao knew. But based on this, it was enough for him to make various assumptions, such as whether the beauty Yan sent to him was provided by Wei Qian'er. If so, all the problems would make sense. It will even cause a new question to arise, that is, will Wei Qian'er use this person to do something? For example, the Huns army suddenly appeared in Shaanzhou, and then took advantage of it to go north?
If he hadn't known some intelligence clues, Tang Ao wouldn't have thought this way. But now that he knew there was something wrong with Yan Shou, this possibility was naturally established.
When thinking of this, Tang Ao couldn't help but smile. If this was really the case, Tang Ao would definitely take the opportunity to give the Xiongnu army a powerful blow, and also let Wei Qian'er know that people are always scheming, and in the end they can only fall into the trap. The fate calculated by man.
His thoughts returned, Tang Ao looked at Wei Chao and said: "Order the army to continue advancing tomorrow, and stop when it reaches thirty miles and ten miles away from the Western Shu Army. Don't they want to fight in the field? Then we will help them. It is also good for them to know that whether it is city defense or field battle, the Western Shu Army will not be a match for the Great China Army."
...Chaping, ten miles north of Zhangcheng City, became the military camp of the Western Shu Army.
The largest landowner's house in the village became the temporary residence of General Liu Cao, and all his generals also gathered here to give military orders.
"Generals, the scouts have sent word that the Chinese Army has arrived and is camping ten miles north of us. The war is likely to start at any time. I would like to remind you that you must be vigilant. Even though we have dug trenches,
We have also prepared a lot of horse-rejecting stakes, but the strength of the Chinese army still cannot be underestimated. You must all do your duty, even if you sleep with one eye open, once anyone makes a mistake, I, the general, will deal with it.
Do you hear clearly about his sin?"
"Listen clearly." Seeing Liu Cao blowing his beard and staring, all the generals below became more energetic and said.
"Okay, that's it, go back to camp and lead your troops." Liu Cao waved his hand and asked the generals to leave. After there were no other people around, he also took off his disguise and sighed: "
General, I will try my best to defend here, but most of the time I won’t be able to hold it. I just hope that I can buy some time for the reinforcements to arrive. In this way, General, you can be considered as having been promoted.
Grace."
Liu Cao knew very well in his heart that whether it was the number of troops or combat effectiveness, they were far behind the Chinese army, so he never thought about being able to hold this place and delay it for a few more days to create more opportunities for the South Vietnamese army to come.
The time is the only thing he can do.
Liu Cao was not confident, and he was even mentally prepared for the Chinese army to attack the border in large numbers tomorrow and capture Chaping. However, the facts were completely inconsistent with what he thought. Early the next morning, the Chinese army was only symbolic.
They fired a few cannons, and then the cavalry came slowly. After seeing those three-foot-long trenches standing in front of them, they quickly retreated.
He did not launch a fierce charge or even make any tentative moves. This made Liu Cao very suspicious, but he was very happy in his heart. Not only him, but also a group of generals under his command came to the landlord's compound. Everyone
Everyone looked happy. Some even proposed to report the battle situation here to the Commander-in-Chief and ask for credit for everyone.
The generals followed Liu Cao to Chaping. They came with the idea of escaping death. As a general, Liu Cao also had to think about his brothers. No matter what, it was their existence that allowed the Great Chinese Army to survive.
He hesitated to move forward, and this credit was not small. In response to everyone's expectations, he wrote a battle report. The main message was how brave everyone was, fighting bloody battles and fierce battles with the Chinese army, and holding on to Chaping.
, keeping the Dahua army at bay.
This kind of false reporting of military achievements was not uncommon in ancient times. Compared with some people who killed good people and took credit for their merits, what Liu Cao did was pretty good. At least he didn't kill the local people and accuse them of being members of the Chinese army.
The soldiers' heads. Besides, they are indeed blocking the way of the Great Chinese Army.
The battle report was quickly delivered to Tancheng Mansion. Xu Kun, the commander-in-chief, was naturally very happy after seeing it. He sent someone to forward the battle report to the King of Western Shu, and at the same time, he also had people spread the news, as if to tell everyone.
, their Western Shu Army is capable of fighting, but even the Great Hua Army was blocked by them and could not advance even an inch.
