Cui You had just finished taking care of the cattle and sheep, and was about to take a rest when he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
"I have received an order from the Governor to summon warriors from all departments to assemble in Jialin City and go to Cui Sulun's tent to listen to the order." After the knight lost this sentence, he rode around the village twice, repeating the sentence just now.
, and then left after a long time to continue delivering orders to the next place.
Xigai Du means Xigai Dudu. The Tibetan custom is to put the official title after the name, which is very different from that in the Han Dynasty.
When the Han people wrote down the positions and names of the Tubo people, they would rearrange the order in their own way and put the official position first. For example, "Afraid of Heat" means prime minister who is afraid of heat.
Cui You understands Chinese, although he doesn't speak it often.
The leader of their tribe is called Cui Su, and his official position is "Lun", which means prime minister.
In fact, before the collapse of Tubo, Lun was not common. There were only "Nine Great Shang Lun" in the country, each with a prime minister (Lun) and one deputy prime minister. But people in the Tang Dynasty did not know that there were officials of a certain level in Tubo, namely
On the crown.
After the collapse of Tubo, official positions such as "Lun" and "Governor" increased like gold yuan coupons and continued to depreciate. In Liangzhou, the leader of a tribe was also called Lun, and there were many governors in the tribe, which was quite funny.
Feel.
Cui You sighed, he was probably going to fight the Liugu tribe again.
We have to fight almost every year, when will it end? The Liangzhou De Lun (Jiedushi) of the Tang Dynasty is a waste, and the Jie'er (provincial governor) and Su Lun (border general) below are not good at all, and they cannot control the situation in Liangzhou at all.
I can only sit back and watch the various departments fight back and forth.
Well, they are weak, so it is not surprising that Cui You looks down on them. With just those thousand soldiers, as long as Shi Mo is willing, a Cui family tribe can destroy them.
There is not only one tribe of Cui in the Amo, but also eight tribes with the surnames Lu, Li, Hao, Ren, Qin, Zhang, Chen and Tian. Of course, the Bubu tribe is also very strong, and they are both from the Amo tribe.
Rich family.
If we get serious, Aimo can dispatch an army of more than 20,000 people, and the Liugu tribe in the south can dispatch a maximum of 10,000 people. There is a gap in strength between the two, but the Liugu tribe is more united, at least more united than they are in Aomou.
Cui You returned to the village listlessly.
He is a regular soldier and will definitely go to war. The commander-in-chief is extremely vicious. If you dare to desert the military service, he will kill you.
Bah! He is obviously a member of the Cui clan, but he took a Tubo name. Others have untied their braids, but he does not do so. Many people have stopped grazing and have switched to farming, but he has enclosed the pasture and forced others to graze for him.
Wake up, Tubo is dead, who do you think you are from Tubo?
After returning home to get the equipment, Cui You arrived at the village head unhappy and ignored everyone who shouted.
More than 20 people stood on the grass one after another, with various surnames. The Cui family tribe does not mean that all tribes are named Cui, but Cui is a powerful family and is "Lun", so they can rule this area.
.
Cui You looked left and right, and chatted with a few people. Everyone was confused. Some people speculated that they would attack the Liugu tribe again, some speculated that they were going to attack Liangzhou City, and some even speculated that they were going north to attack Hexi Dangxiang.
Some tribes. Because just last year, those hateful party members and Tatars went south together to plunder Liangzhou.
There is no point in guessing. Cui You sat on the ground and waited quietly for the arrival of Baihu.
We waited until noon, when Baihu Cui O came over with a few people. He glanced casually, counted the heads, and found that there was no difference, he said hello and asked everyone to follow him on the road.
Like all grassland tribes, not everyone has a horse.
Cui You had no horse. He carried a bow and a Tibetan spear, and followed Baihu with difficulty, slowly heading towards Jialin City.
Two days later, they arrived at their destination.
Xige came over first, checked the number of soldiers and horses with the hundreds and thousands of households under his command, and then went to Cui Lun to report.
Cui You stood in front, quietly watching many noble people who were rarely seen gathered together.
Not only were they in charge, but even the vassal Long family, Tuyuhun, and small Tatar tribes sent people over.
The scene is getting big now! Cui Lun will probably lead two thousand people into battle this time, right? And they are the bravest and most talented people from each tribe.
Although the Long family, who are good at raising horses, have long noses, deep eyes, and beards, they have always been discriminated against by others. But I have to admit that they are really good at raising horses. They are a natural horse-taming tribe. They will also treat horses. If there are many cavalry,
If so, it would be best to have someone from the Long family tribe help take care of it to save worry.
The Tuyuhun Murong clan and the Tatar Yeli clan are not many in number, but they are aggressive and brave. If they act as a vanguard, they are simply unstoppable. The Tubo people in the Liugu tribe were probably half afraid when they saw them. In Liangzhou
Who can stop them on the ground?
There are also cunning Sogdians who are familiar with the roads and can gather information. They are rare scoundrels.
Of course, they are still the backbone of the army, with a total of 1,500 people! They are both on foot and cavalry. They have proven their strength in many years of war. Except for the Liugu tribe of Tubo, everyone surrendered.
Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of the poor people!
After the army gathered together, they set off with their respective households. After walking for a while, Cui You suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was he walking east? Shouldn't he be heading south?
It's a pity that no one answered his doubts. Hundreds and thousands of households looked serious and just urged everyone to hurry up.
What kind of battle is this?
It was already afternoon when An Xiuxiu received the news, and the enemy army was less than twenty miles away from Liangzhou City.
He did not dare to neglect, and immediately summoned two generals, Li Duo and He Wei, and asked them to mobilize the sergeants to prepare for battle. As for the Liangzhou soldiers, just go away and play as if those people did not exist.
The dull sound of horse hooves struck the ground where the ice and snow had not yet melted, occasionally mixed with the sound of swords and guns clashing.
On the gray and white fields, two teams of cavalry are chasing each other.
"Whoosh!" An Xiuxiu took out his riding bow and shot an arrow, hitting the enemy in the back.
The soldier clamped the horse's belly, quickly stepped forward, thrust the horse's spear forward in his hand, and directly picked the man up.
More cavalry rushed out on both sides. They were well-equipped, and many of them wore iron armor. Judging from the shape, the special armor was made by Jinyang Capital Academy!
The dozens of cavalry being chased by them should be the vanguard of the enemy. You are brave if you are brave, but the equipment is a bit poor and the cooperation between them is not good. It is like they have been used to fighting alone since childhood. Therefore, they were quickly defeated by Bai Yusha.
Tuo's cavalry broke up, beat their horses and fled.
Chase all the way, fight all the way.
The fleeing enemy cavalry quickly dispersed. After leaving more than twenty corpses, they finally broke away from the pursuit of the Shatuo cavalry and fled behind a small forest.
An Xiuxiu decisively gave the order to stop the pursuit.
Hundreds of horsemen circled the gray wilderness and then formed an array on a high ground.
The horses snorted non-stop and dug their iron hooves back and forth in the snow.
The knight stood on the horse, breathing out white steam continuously from his mouth. The horse's sword was stained with a large mass of solidified blood.
The cold wind blew and the sky became gloomy again.
An Xiuxiu looked ahead steadily, where a camp had been set up. There were people in the camp, and noises were everywhere. Some riders were leading their horses out of the camp, and they were pointing in this direction.
"Retreat!" An Xiuxiu flicked the horse's head and rode down the high slope.
Like a gust of wind, hundreds of cavalry left the battlefield and disappeared into the gray wilderness.
The enemy has a lot of cavalry. If we continue to fight, there is no chance of winning. It will just waste human lives in vain. It is not worth it.
After returning to Liangzhou, An Xiuxiu's soldiers threw a man from his horse.;;w;;;;.;
The man's hands were tied behind his back, and when he fell from the horse, his face hit a stone, knocking out two of his teeth.
"Interrogate him properly!" An Xiuxiu ordered, and then quickly returned to the palace.
"Military envoy, what's going on?" Li Duo and He Zhen, who were neatly dressed, stepped forward and asked.
"The good days are over, it's time to go to war!" An Xiuxiu said coldly.
He was 80% sure that the incoming enemy army was Su Mo. However, they had not been in Liangzhou for a long time, and they had been in peace before. What kind of stimulation did Su Mo have to send out a large number of troops?
Liangzhou?
Chen Cheng rushed over quickly.
"Deputy Ambassador Chen." An Xiuxiu bowed respectfully.
"General An, needless to say, someone already knows about this matter." Chen Cheng said as soon as he arrived: "There is no doubt that it is the person who killed him."
"Just now, someone saw at least three thousand cavalry outside. This should be the vanguard." An Xiuxiu's war experience can be considered very experienced. He just heard him say: "There are three thousand people in the vanguard, and the whole army should be
There are more than 10,000 people. Deputy Ambassador Chen must now defend the city to watch the thieves."
When the Shunyi army first came to Liangzhou, they transported more than 18,000 bushels of grain and wheat on more than a thousand camels and more than 600 grain carts, which was enough to feed the entire army for about half a year. However, a batch was given to Liangzhou.
Three more months have passed, and now we still have enough food to survive for less than a month.
But it’s enough. One month is enough to go back and forth from Huizhou to Liangzhou. The next batch of grain is probably already in transit. Maybe it’s coming from the direction of Huizhou, maybe it’s coming from the direction of Lingzhou.
Come.
"I'm afraid I can't just stick to it." Chen Cheng said with a bitter smile.
