In the study room of Zhang Dun's house, six people, Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen, Huang Fu, Zhang Shangying, Cai Jing, and Liu Kui, sat in a circle and listened to Li Jian's narration.
He took two followers, dressed in simple clothes, and followed Zhao Si's team, making a full circle on Shaanxi Sixth Road. He ate a lot of dust behind the horse's butt, and recorded a lot of detailed information.
Li Jian talked for a full hour before giving a brief summary of what Zhao Si was doing along Bianwu Road.
Then the six of them, Zhang Dun, took turns asking about topics they were interested in. Li Jian became the responder, constantly answering questions.
"In the battle of Zong Ge City in Huangzhong, King Qin led his army to defeat the famous general Wei Mingli Nu of Xia State. I heard that he took the lead and rushed to the front?" Zhang Dun asked, squinting his eyes.
"In reply to Zhang Xiang, no. Looking at the four major battles in Zongge City, Haotongchuan, Kalochuan and Lingbo Mountain, King Jian...well, His Highness King Qin rarely visited the front line in person. He only set the battle strategy.
Appoint the generals, deputy generals and generals of each army, and then give full power to those generals to command when facing the enemy."
Li Jian thought for a while and then added, "For example, after four battles, Liu Fa, the general who was appointed by His Highness the King of Qin to command the former enemy, is famous in the northwest. He is called a natural god general and is powerful in Longyou."
"Hu Luxiong, who was entrusted by His Highness the King of Qin to command the cavalry, outflanked Haotongchuan, attacked Kalochuan, and pursued Lingbo Mountain. He was the most active and fierce, and wiped out the most enemies; Yang Keshi, who was entrusted by His Highness the King of Qin as the vanguard, struck with an iron mace.
Killed hundreds of Xia troops. Especially in the battle of Lingbo Mountain, wearing a mask and leading armored cavalry, he broke through thousands of troops and directly flattened Brother Richard's tent. In addition, the man looked ferocious, and now in
The Hexi family can stop children from crying at night."
"The former enemy commanded, the cavalry commanded? His Highness the King of Qin really had a fantastic idea." Zhang Shangying couldn't help but interjected.
"Yes, many of the new words in the Western Army were passed down by His Highness King Qin."
"Well, Li Shiwulang, you continue."
"Yes. His Royal Highness the King of Qin sent the king to report, and Guo Chengcheng guarded the two cities of Qingtang and Miaochuan. More than 200,000 Xia troops attacked day and night, causing heavy casualties. They could not even chew a corner of the city wall. Then the two generals took advantage of the situation to counterattack, Zhuo Luo
Henan Army Division was the only one who led the troops to defeat them. They are good at defense and attack, and the two generals Wang and Guo are already powerful in Longyou."
"There are also Gao Shixuan and Wang Shunchen. Not to mention other military achievements, they were ordered to form a strong crossbow army. In the battle of Lingbo Mountain, tens of thousands of strong crossbows were fired at once, and the rockets were overwhelming. In an instant, the Xia army's front camp was reduced to a sea of fire and chaos.
It's unbearable. Brother Richard has all his abilities, but it's of no use, so he can only run away in a hurry..."
Zhang Dun looked at Li Qingchen, whose face turned very ugly, and nodded slowly, "Know people and make good use of them, and make full use of their talents."
Then he asked again: "Li Shiwulang, are you saying that His Highness the King of Qin is only responsible for the battle strategy and never asks for specific command?"
"Yes. I have been close to several Qin Fenglu officers who fought with His Highness the King of Qin, and I have inquired a lot about them."
Li Jian searched his mind and told all the information he knew.
"There are rumors in the army that after His Highness the King of Qin sets the strategies and goals, he hands them all to the generals for execution. He only issues orders when the generals fail to implement them well or make mistakes, which is no different from ordinary military schools. Listen again
Rumor has it that every time before a battle, His Highness the King of Qin likes to follow the enemy commanders and other generals, and take a small number of escort cavalry, one man and two cavalry, to personally survey the enemy's situation not far from the enemy camp."
"Really?" The flesh on Cai Jing's face couldn't help but jump a few times.
"What I said back to Cai Shangshu is absolutely true. Zongge City, Haotongchuan, Kalochuan, Lingbo Mountain, the army is still behind, His Highness the King of Qin led the generals, sneaked up on Qingqi, and ran under the nose of Xia Jun.
Surveying the enemy's situation. I heard that King Qin's traces were discovered in Lingbo Mountain, and a cavalry team from the Xia Army sent out to pursue him."
"Ah, what should we do now!" Huang Fu turned pale with fright.
Li Qingchen glared at him fiercely, King Qin is doing well in Kaifeng City now, which means there is nothing wrong with him, you are so panicked!
Li Jian saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly continued to talk to divert everyone's attention.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's group, one person and two horses, ran very fast. His Highness the King of Qin not only sent people to report the news to the army and set up an ambush, but also led the pursuing Xia Army cavalry to the ambush area and captured them all. Then he pretended that the Xia Army cavalry was
, sneaked into the Xia army’s camp, set fire to disturb the morale of the army..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
The military reports that can be seen by the ministers in the court are definitely not as detailed as those of Wansheng Camp. Therefore, none of the people present here know these details.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, you are so courageous!" Huang Fu said, shrinking his head and patting his chest.
"He's just so bold." Li Qingchen said bitterly.
"How did His Highness the King of Qin gather those tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry? Li Fifteenth Lang, do you know the inside story?" Zhang Dun suddenly asked.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry were the key to Zhao Si's victory. These brave cavalry were not afraid of a decisive battle with the Xia army, thus motivating the Western army to dare to fight a decisive battle with the Xia army.
Everyone knows that in the Western Army along the five border routes, there are very few officers and soldiers who dare to fight to the death with the Xia Army. Most of them are ordinary soldiers who only dare to defend against danger and fight against the wind.
Li Jian thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, it seems to me that the key to His Highness King Qin's ability to gather tens of thousands of cavalry lies in the three thousand brave cavalry battalion."
"Well, we think so too."
"Could it be that the King of Qin had magical powers and knew that a big battle was going to happen in the northwest months in advance, so he made preparations in advance and encouraged the officials to mobilize three thousand elite Tibetan tribesmen and win them over as confidants, so that he could become the backbone of the battle here and gather several soldiers.
Wanfan tribe cavalry?" Huang Fu asked in horror.
"How is that possible!" Li Qingchen blurted out, but then he himself was a little doubtful.
"I can guess a little bit about His Highness King Qin's thoughts," Zhang Dun said, stroking his beard.
"Please also make it clear, Prime Minister Zhang."
"Military power! After His Majesty the King of Qin changed his mind since Jin Mingchi, if he wants to make a difference, he must have an army of his own direct lineage. The Sanya Forbidden Army has many soldiers and generals, but unfortunately the forces of all parties have penetrated too deeply, and it will be difficult to filter them out for a while.
.So he simply took advantage of the hostage's great victory in the northwest and encouraged the officials to issue an edict to select 3,000 elite Tibetan tribesmen and eight young generals of the Western Army to go to Beijing."
Everyone here is a smart person, and they all understood after being enlightened by Zhang Dun.
"Yes, these Tibetan cavalry are simple and barbaric, and have nothing to do with all the forces. They were transferred to the capital and carefully won over, and they became a team." Zhang Shangying said first, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so scheming."
"It's not just a good calculation. Who would have thought that a few months later, these three thousand knights would become the key to gathering tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry. Is it really God's will?"
Huang Fu said hesitantly. Everyone looked complicated and remained silent.
Cai Jing put down his tea cup and suddenly asked: "Li Fifteenth Lang, I heard that His Highness the King of Qin divided tens of thousands of cavalry who had made great achievements with the army into various tribes in Huangzhong, Hequ, and Taoshui, and then collected hundreds of thousands of tents and organized them into seven wings.
Suzaku flag?”
"Yes, Cai Shangshu."
"How do you think His Highness the King of Qin quickly managed to win over these hundreds of thousands of tribesmen for his own use?" Cai Jing asked again.
Everyone is also very interested. It is said that the Zhuque Banner has nearly 200,000 tents all over Hehuang and can pull out 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry in a short period of time. It seems that it was assigned to his confidants to command and become a stable Longyou.
The key strength of the land.
"Cai Shangshu, if I think about it, His Highness the King of Qin used this technique to gather the hundreds of thousands of tribesmen for his own use."
"Pinch off the head and tail? Li Shiwulang, tell me quickly."
"Yes. Let me talk about pinching my head first. It is said that when His Highness King Qin first recruited the tribes in Hehuang, there were roughly four types of tribes. The first was those who had a deep hatred against the Hexi family and were determined to follow me in the Song Dynasty. The specifics of these tribes
I don’t know how much, I think it’s just a small part.”
"These leaders of the Tibetan tribe sent their nephews and backbones of the tribe. After following His Highness King Qin's meritorious service, the nephews and backbones of the tribe were promoted to a household of 100 households, and the tribal leaders were promoted to a household of 100 or 1,000 households. Everyone is happy."
"The second situation is at both ends of the rat head, and the number is about one-third. These tribal leaders nominally responded to the call of the King of Qin, but in fact they still supported the Hexi family in their hearts, and they sent people who were disdainful such as Manu and tribal thorns.
, to deal with the errands. I don’t think these people are the most brave in fighting, and have made great achievements with the King of Qin, and have become the first household and the first hundred households."
"Then the King of Qin led an army and sent these hundreds of households back to their original tribes, and forced the tribal leaders to move to the states and counties in Guanzhong. Facing tens of thousands of victorious troops, the tribal leaders rebelled and abandoned their relatives, so they could only honestly take their families to Guanzhong Prefecture.
county."
Everyone couldn't help but look sideways, His Highness the King of Qin was really a ruthless person. However, it seemed that he could deal with the Fan tribe in this way. This chapter has been completed!
