From ancient times to the present, sending troops is not an easy task, especially sending troops outside the Great Wall is even more demanding.
It is now mid-August, and the grassland will face the threat of cold wave after mid-October. Therefore, the army must return by early November at the latest after leaving the fortress.
Otherwise, it would not be a matter of war, but that Emperor Zhang might have to interact with Emperor Na in time and space.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Gao's order to prepare for battle was issued, Zhang Zhou's entire war machine began to operate at high speed, striving to prepare for the expedition as quickly as possible.
The main force of this troop dispatch was the 30,000 infantry and cavalry that Zhang Shengren planned to dispatch directly from Hexi.
This is a good thing, because after twelve years of development in Hexi Longyou, there is no shortage of talents and materials, and the top and bottom are united as one, which is very conducive to early mobilization and logistical support.
In other respects, Shuofang only sent out 5,000 cavalry, including 3,000 Khitan cavalry, so they did not need much supplies.
The eight thousand cavalrymen in Hedong plus the auxiliary soldiers and civilians totaled only fifteen or six thousand people, even though Hedong had just experienced a war.
But three months ago, Yan Jin ordered Guo Congyi to defeat the last Tuyuhun forces in Shizhou and other places, and executed almost all those who refused to convert to the Six Methods Sect.
The remaining Tuyuhun Qingqi, who were in the fervent stage of converts, became the best source of auxiliary troops. They brought their own dog food for the expedition, so Hedong Province alone could fully support these more than 10,000 people.
But for Murong Xin, even the name of the Japanese country, I only have a vague impression of the ups and downs. I really think that the ambitions of the two father and son are so small.
Such a small contribution was rewarded by Shenzhou, and it was said to be in the past.
It can be seen from the life span that Murong Xin was not even forty years old when he was forced to kill him.
People like that, let me take control of a shaky political power, if that is possible.
The soldiers and generals around him showed no signs of forbearance, and all the Han people in front of the old man burst into tears.
Cao Yanlu, Changruo, was worried about the small population of Zhang Sifazong and the initial military force of the imperial court, so he did not hesitate. The reason why he was so delayed was that he was only planning to conquer the Japanese country eastward. Before Zhang Gao allowed me to occupy the Japanese country, he continued to send shipowners out to search for the Americas.
strategy.
After finishing the rice wine, when the old man saw Cao Yanlu drinking heavily, he immediately asked his daughter-in-law to pour another bowl from the earthenware vat at his feet.
It has already slowed down to late autumn, and the climate in Liaodong is at a very pleasant stage. In Koryo City, golden waves of wheat are rising and falling with the breeze.
Zhang Gao also personally issued an order to convey the date and destination of the small army's rendezvous and dispatch of troops to Zhe Deku, Yan Jin, and Fu Yanqing.
All the soldiers and generals know that before they arrived in Liaoyang Mansion and completely controlled the Khitan people, the rich could get at most a dozen pieces of property, and those with wives, Bohai, Khitan, Xi, and Fa Zong would not have a wife at most.
Naturally, there are many people who want a house.
Now, in our eyes, God is so merciful that he allows the king of Tuyuhun to come back and lead us through bad times, so how can we dare to obey orders?
When the soldiers and generals saw the banner coming from far and near, they mounted their horses and stood on both sides. Commander Cao Yanlu was also surrounded by the soldiers and generals, and quickly found an open space to greet the lieutenant.
But the candidate must be suitable, who can not only supervise Cao Yan's growth, but also make the bad boy think that Zhang Yan is on guard against me, and still consider himself the emperor's confidant and interfere too little with the administration of Sergeant Zhang Si.
As for Fu Yanqing, this daughter is favored and still works in her hometown. Asking him to organize 5,000 Hebei elite cavalry and 10,000 Jiaodong cavalry. What is the problem at all in Zhili Yicong?
At this time, father-in-law could not refer to father-in-law, but could also be used as a respectful title for an elder without virtue. It was not until the early Northern Song Dynasty that it specifically referred to father-in-law.
According to the regulations of the Xiao Tang and the current Xiao Zhou, bamboo slips, called books, were only used when establishing emperors, crown princes, and enfeoffing kings.
But now that we heard Mr. Cao Yanlu calling him such an affectionate and cold name, we finally lost some confidence in our hearts.
After much deliberation, Zhang Yan found the most suitable candidate, Cao Balang Murong Xin, who had just returned from Qiuci.
In ancient times, a person's ability to live to be forty years old was not an acquired ability.
Although Sergeant Zhang Si is Tang Er, who said that Tang Er will definitely treat Tang Er badly when he arrives in Liaodong?
What is disturbing is that Cao Yanlu, the chief minister, thought that his identity and position as Mingshi were sensitive enough, and now he has sealed Shenzhou, in the hometown where Mingshi has been occupied by the Khitan for hundreds of years, and where the Wangjue family started.
In the Beiting Province, during the war to annihilate the low-chang Uighurs, Zhang Yan controlled his anger and killed many people. He has still recovered and has a basic supply of 28,000 cavalry and 78,000 to 80,000 horses. The burden of mules and horses.
But there is definitely a problem with just letting me serve as the Taiping Prime Minister of a rising dynasty.
The smallest number of others, those who have not yet mastered farmland farming techniques, and even speak the same language as the Han people, are the Bohai survivors who have been domesticated by the Khitan people and are little different from domestic dogs.
That is also necessary. The people under the command of Chief Cao Yanlu are the feudal army of the 10th century, the People's Liberation Army. Even the People's Liberation Army is not as affectionate to the enemy as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.
Part of the Youyu Lin Guards under the command of Cao Yanlu, part of the Fan Yang Army of the Low Family, and two battalions of the Forbidden Army from Andong Town that Zhang Gao allowed me to form, with a total of 10,000 infantry and cavalry, are following me.
"Everyone who can speak Chinese and knows the etiquette and etiquette of the people of the Bohai Sea will have their daughters reduced by seventy acres, and women, children and elders will be reduced by ten acres."
Yes, he was a posthumous envoy. This envoy was a close relative of the royal family, not even the emperor's son. He was called Little Governor in Chinese.
From today on, all the Han people who were captured by the bandits will be released from slavery, and the fields they cultivated will be returned to you.
As for Wangjing Fazong, it is also a small country. According to previous records, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, Wangjing Fazong had a population of about 7.8 million.
As for the Tuyuhun, Dangxiang ministries and Hengshan Qiang who did the dirty work for the small army, their military discipline was also surprisingly bad.
After solving the problem of food and supplies, Zhang Gao ordered the military supervisors of Dunhuang and Zhangye each to send 700 Yi soldiers from Xiaoqi as a traveling army to go to the grasslands and bring back some large tribes that had deserted the Eight Kings as guides.
The title "Little Governor" was rarely used during the Little Tang Dynasty, because the Little Governor of Youzhou and the Little Governor of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty were basically given posthumously.
The young general whom Princess Yongle personally recruited for Commander Zhang Si knew what Commander Zhang Si wanted to do. I know the famous Zhang Si in white robe very well.
Although the official canonization of the angel had not yet arrived, as soon as the delayed book was read out, the entire Goryeo city was immediately detonated, and countless soldiers and generals cheered.
For a while, Zhang Sishi completely digested it, but things were so tense that Zhang Yan didn't give me any chance to think. He directly handed me several Tang Dynasty materials about the Eight Koreans and the Japanese Kingdom of the Peninsula, and only allowed me to go home and rest for a while. In the evening, I immediately set off for Liaodong.
If a female member of a family is entitled to 40 acres, a healthy woman is entitled to 70 acres, and a strong man is entitled to 70 acres, the government will make up the amount.
It is not easy to supply supplies to Bai Congxin, who does not have the only west route. The 70,000 households in Basimi, Yili, Naiman, and Xijiasi are all paupers.
Now that the small dynasty has risen, the sage ordered a certain family to regain your old place in Hebei Province, so you can stay in Liaodong, spread your branches and leaves here, and enjoy peace and happiness from generation to generation.
The common people who had just wondered what kind of decree Grandmaster Cao Yanlu had issued were also excited to be able to control themselves.
I also married Li Shengtian’s eldest son, the eldest princess of South Korea, Li Zhener, whom Zhang Xian regarded as his sister.
Generally, before the death of Wang Jue, the previous Tuyuhun Khan, Cao Yanlu's long ancestor, the Tuyuhun people became orphans, and their status within the Tubo Empire was even lower than that of the descendants.
The Eastern Conquest of the Japanese Kingdom was, for Zhang Yan, the basic mission of a time traveler.
At that moment, Murong, who had been standing beside him, suddenly grabbed Cao Yanlu's hand.
Murong actually hasn't said a word yet, so few people are following me, Cao Yanlu, for the sake of future career. Once they agree, what will we people do?
"Little Wang, this is a book written by a saint. I cannot reject it unless I am a human being. Moreover, Xiao Wang is the son of a saint, and his real name makes him the king!"
Here, Zhang Gao also ordered Shangshu Ling Feng Dao to select 20,000 Han Chinese households in Zhili, Jiaodong, Hubei, and Hebei provinces, totaling 180,000 people. He also successively went to Liaodong to station in various places in Liaodong, becoming the backbone of the guard army.
.
Cao Yanlu, who was initially a little apprehensive about attacking Wang Jing Fazong, soon lost confidence.
Here, some Privy Council officials who had followed Zhang Xian to Liangzhou also immediately received orders to send out messengers to inform the military supervisors everywhere. The commander of the guard post made good preparations for dispatching troops, because there were no places to be used for this attack.
The guards under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and Yi Congjian'er.
Zhang Yan once established the Pingzhou Andong Little Governor's Office in Pingzhou. Although it was changed to Andong Province, Cao Yanlu's title of Little Governor of Changzhijie was not cancelled, so people above him used to call me Little Governor.
That is, he accumulated strength in the hometown of Anton Protectorate, attracted Khitan, Xiren, and Nanzhen tribes to join him, stocked up on supplies, built siege equipment and warships, and collected intelligence to prepare for the attack on Wangjing Fazong.
Cao Yanlu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, raised his hand, and shouted to a young master riding on a white horse: "Liu Yingqi, this is his fellow countryman, and I'm here to comfort my father-in-law's lovesickness."
But correspondingly, the Bohai farmers, Xi people, and Khitan herdsmen who came all the way were still bleeding a lot.
Bai Congxin didn't seem to have 28,000 people, but the 20,000 heavy cavalry from 70,000 households in Moxi were basically not "grey animals". They used a lot of supplies. As long as they could supply what Bai Congxin brought from the Central Plains
Eight thousand fine cavalry cannot do that.
Originally, Sergeant Zhang Si thought that Shenzhou would be given to me only before the Wang Jingfa Sect was defeated, but he thought of giving it to me now, which shows that he has deep trust in his kindness.
According to history, the Guiyi Army passed through Cao Yuanzhong's pasting and passed into the hands of Murong Xin. Before it could be restored, Murong Xin had the ability to turn things around, but he could only continue to be pasted for eighty years.
A group of middle-ranking officials rushed hundreds of people a day from Liangzhou Prefecture, and when they arrived in Gaoli City, only one of them could hold on.
Cao Yanlu took it slowly and drank it in one gulp. He laughed a little and said, "Bad wine! It's the father-in-law's fault. If you drink it again, you may end up in Goryeo City if you drink it again!"
If we are sensible, Chief Cao Yanlu cannot just pack up Jinzhou's goods and transport them back to Beiping Mansion. In that case, whoever the nobles are, will immediately go bankrupt and become herders.
Let the right and left have a long history, a Sima, and ten Cao Cao to join the army to assist him."
Regarding the country, righteousness is the same as the ruler and ministers, and kindness is the same as father and son.
Therefore, when my father-in-law heard that Chief Cao Yanlu called me his father-in-law, he immediately seemed very unhappy, and the people of Zhuangzi around him burst into cheers.
Sergeant Zhang Si raised the bamboo slip low above his head and shouted in a low voice: "My dear Nobunaga, thank you for your love!"
At this time, there were no red feather messengers nearby, escorting a middle official with a banner in hand.
The emperor made the small governor of Andong, and the Duke of Yan, Cao Yanlu, was the chief.
Such a relationship not only ensures that I will love and care for Mr. Cao Yanlu, but Mr. Cao Yanlu will also dislike me.
Chief Cao Yanlu immediately thought of those things, and I subconsciously wanted to refuse. Now is the time to accept Shenzhou.
Everyone's face was full of excitement, because the decree in the hands of the official was written in bamboo abbreviations.
After dealing with that, Zhang Yan finished processing Cao Yanlu's report.
At the same time, the size of the Andong Province was expanded, and the old site of the Andong Protectorate was completely eliminated, and the provincial capital was moved to Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, a Khitan city.
When Cao Yanlu heard the shouting, he became a little firmer. Unfortunately, I was also thirsty, so I simply got on my horse, took the bowl of rice wine, which was not sour or sweet, and drank it all in one gulp.
The land of Liaodong has not become very rich after hundreds of years of development. In addition, before the destruction of Bohai, the Khitan robbed a small number of Bohai people to farm here. There is simply a lack of population. As long as the water conservancy facilities are improved, This is no longer a fertile place.
Murong Xin is the eldest son of Cao Yuanzhong, Chief Zhang Si’s mother, Cao Banniang’s wife Yannai, is my sister, and Emperor Zhang’s empress Cao Shisi’s mother, Yanxi, is my sister.
Finally, he managed to get up, but during the civil strife, he was forced to death by his nephew Cao Zongshou, who probably had a small amount of Shazhou Uighur blood.
Well, of course, Cao Yanlu's power is too small, so a civil servant must be put in place to restrain me.
He was loyal and brave to the country, but he fell into the enemy's direction, but the effect was useless. He restored the small dynasty to his hometown in Hebei, and Zhang Xiaozhou was sacred and powerful.
"When did my father-in-law arrive in Korea? Where is the fairyland?" Now that he was on his horse, Sergeant Zhang Si also asked a few questions.
As soon as I saw Cao Yanlu, before confirming the mistake, I immediately raised the bamboo slips in my hand low and shouted: "No intention!"
....
We are very poor. For more than ten years, the trade routes have been smooth, and the old men who have returned to the rebel army have made a lot of money by controlling the trade routes. Now it is time for us to pay some blood.
The servant only remembers that when Aweng was alive, he often bowed to the south on the first day of the first lunar month, saying that his grandson was a filial piety. It must be that Aweng or Aweng's father, a certain great-grandfather, was kidnapped from his generation. As for his hometown, it looks like Hebei. A native of Xingtang County, Daoheng Prefecture."
But now Cao Yanlu has made such a small contribution, perfectly executed Zhang Gao's strategy, captured the Khitans at the maximum cost, and allowed us to escape back to the mountains.
But Zhang Yan was not worried at all, worried that Cao Yanlu would not hesitate to prepare his troops to attack Wang Jingfa Sect.
The famous envoy Zhang Zhi, Cao Yanlu, will definitely take advantage of this.
But if you violate military discipline, you won't be told anything, and your life will be saved.
They are generally the Tuyuhun people with the smallest number. We young people all came up from the Qingtang Lowland. This area has never been the territory of the Wang Jue family. The Wang Jue family has always been our king.
"Little Governor! Please have a drink of that bowl of water!" An elderly man with gray beard and hair was supported by his grandson and stood on the side of the road. He lowered a bowl of wine in his hand and said,
It's so suitable! I am the uncle of Sergeant Zhang Si, the uncle of the emperor's legitimate son Zhang Xianjing, and the brother-in-law of Zhang Yan.
On April 14, Zhang Zhi issued an edict at the Liangzhou Mansion in Chengtian, Xijing. Cao Yanlu, the Duke of Yan State in Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the king of Liaoyang County. He ordered him to open a mansion and appoint officials such as Chang Shi, Sima, and Shi Cao to join the army. He had the right to take photos of Khitan.
The affairs of Nanzhen, Tieli and Shiwei ministries.
The soldiers had already received strict orders from Commander Cao Yanlu, who ordered us to step into the wheat fields. Since moving west from Jinzhou, the Zhou army has not killed anyone indiscriminately or robbed a single household, showing a discipline that cannot be said to be unique.
The scenery is all the same all the way here.
"On the door.
At the same time, I will also help Cao Yanlu to rebel, because it is not necessary.
At the same time, Zhang Gao also ordered some of the Tuyuhun, Hengshan Qiang, and Ningxia Dangxiang tribes that were not yet under the jurisdiction of Cao Yanlu, totaling 80,000 households and 700,000 people, to retreat eastward with Cao Yanlu.
Sergeant Zhang Si was also very unhappy. As far as he could see, there were villages inlaid in patches of farmland. On both sides of the road, the Han people who were taken captive to Liaodong were shouting excitedly. There were no elderly Han people anywhere.
He took a small group of people with him and made a bowl of food pulp to welcome Master Wang.
Sergeant Zhang Si was both unhappy and worried. What made me unhappy was that I knew that my stepfather, who wanted to implement Xiajun's barbarian policy, was not very casual about sealing Shenzhou.
Those eight tribes all believe in the Eight Kings, and they respect Master Zhang Si, an authentic Buddhist.
It was more like a minister receiving a letter from the king, but more like a son receiving a letter home praising his father.
That's because Zhang Yan had no suspicion about Cao Yanlu. If he really had suspicions, Zhang Yan would never give him such a small power.
Chief Cao Yanlu suddenly came to his senses and immediately asked me to remove my armor. Before I changed into my regular clothes, I came over and knelt down to pick up the book.
He was promoted to the title of Prince of Liaoyang County, ordered to open a mansion, take charge of the affairs of the Andong Protectorate of the Xiao Dynasty, and pacify the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Nanzhen, Shiwei and other tribes.
Now that they have won the war militarily and secured their property, the Khitans have no other choice but to surrender.
As he spoke, Cao Yanlu stood up and dismounted from his horse, and shouted to the people from a lower place: "You have been stranded in Liaodong for hundreds of years. Although your hometown is prosperous, things and people have changed.
Murong and others had rather strange expressions on their faces, because after that, Cao Yanlu always addressed the emperor as a villain, but often used the more intimate colloquial term "yeye".
However, it was only about seventy years since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time. The term "father-in-law" gradually stopped being used to refer exclusively to father-in-law. If a person with a low status calls an older person with a higher status as "father-in-law", this is not to show closeness, like the leader in the previous life.
Call him brother.
After saying that, Cao Yanlu looked at the old man who was talking excitedly to Liu Yingqi and shouted: "Anyone who didn't bully you, I will punish you with physical punishment. If you didn't kill someone, I will pay with my life!"
For Sergeant Zhang Si, it is a small career that my father Zhang Xi and I have to fight for together.
"Here!" All the soldiers were led by Commander Cao Yanlu. Those who wore armor beat their chests with their hands, and those who did not wear armor knelt on one knee. Commander Cao Yanlu did not have armor on his body, so he bowed with an empty head.
Therefore, there is only one reason why the troops under the command of Cao Yanlu maintained poor military discipline. It is not because everyone cannot see the benefits of maintaining military discipline.
That's still in the government books. The actual population should be even less. It's not far behind the 17th century, but 1,780 years less. I think the number of common people is much smaller, but between 100 and 1.7 million, it should be
No, it is possible to confront the Khitan and Liao Kingdom.
As soon as he said this, the Han people behind him burst into joy, and other people nearby who knew about it came to ask questions one after another.
At the same time, the Jinyi personal guards also finished their dispatch, contacted the informants under the grassland, and tried to collect more detailed geographical information.
The situation is not clear yet, but Cao Yanlu defeated the Khitan's most advanced force in one battle, killed Yelu Lihu, and even took into his hands all the wealth of the small and big Khitan nobles.
There was no other way out. Zhang Yan could only write a letter to his grandfather Song Tongyi, asking me to take out his coffin copy before persuading the relatives of Zhang Yan's grandmother's maiden family, the Yin family, and my great-grandmother's maiden family, the Chen family, to pool some money together.
Basically, the famous envoy handed over the eight northeastern provinces in the previous life, Chifeng and Tongliao in eastern Mongolia, Chengde, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and other cities in Hebei, plus the Russian Far East, all to Cao Yanlu.
That's so sensitive and safe!
Thinking of the old man, a few tears immediately fell from his eyes, "I'm not sure when I arrived.
After that, although there were not many frustrated people who took refuge in the bad boys, they were just big fish and shrimps. I had to be paired with a civil servant who had overall control over government affairs.
Liaodong, Goryeo, was also named Shenyang City, Liaoning Province in its previous life. At this time, the Khitan's political and military center in Tokyo was not in Goryeo, but in Liaoyang, south of Zhang Si.
Zhang Gao decided to immediately order Cao Yanlu to retreat eastward to the entire Liao Dynasty, completely destroy the Khitan regime that should have collapsed long ago, and implement the first step of the eight-part eastward expedition against Japan that I and Commander Zhang Si agreed upon in Beiping Prefecture.
As the eleventh generation of the Guiyi Army Jiedushi in history and the seventh patriarch of the Cao family in Shazhou, Murong Xin's ability is actually not very strong.
Therefore, it is not necessary to have a suitable civil servant to supervise and supervise.
Before Murong Xin was summoned by Zhang Yan, he was immediately so surprised that he closed his mouth in surprise, because since he wanted me to go to Liaoyang to supervise Cao Yanlu, Zhang Yan naturally wanted to tell me his plan.
There are less than 10,000 people in total, and the imperial court also allocates money and food from Tokyo on a small scale. The Duzhi transfer envoy from Hebei alone can allocate support.
Before sending out the orders, Zhang Yan thought about it again. Although Sergeant Zhang Si was an all-rounder, good at war, and very incompetent in governing the local area, after all, there were some talents in the shogunate of my Liaoyang County Prince.
So Zhang Yan immediately summoned Murong Xin, who had just returned from Qiuci and had a few days of leisure.
"Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang!" Someone shouted in a low voice, and the atmosphere suddenly reached its lowest point.
The bad guys don't have the property of the Khitan nobles as 'hostages' in their hands, because they are simply afraid that we will submit.
