"The person you killed must be from Geluolu..." Li Kuo's throat surged slightly and he sighed softly.
From the story told by Li An, Li Kuo had already guessed the general result. Li An and the Geluolu people had a grudge against their mother, so naturally they would not let go of this perfect opportunity for revenge.
Li An's expression suddenly became fierce and he sneered: "Yes, when I knew that the person I was going to kill was a Geluolu bastard, the fear in my heart disappeared instantly. I was taking revenge! Haha, I was taking revenge!
"
Although he sympathized with Li An's experience, the boy did not agree with all his words and deeds. Although the Geluolu people and the Turks are both grassland nomads, in the boy's opinion, compared with the Turks, they have a different temperament.
More docile. They are distributed in the Altai Mountains and rarely take the initiative to compete with others for pasture. As long as there are no issues of principle, they will not go to war with others.
Perhaps the Geluolu people who robbed and killed Li An's family were really a group of habitual bandits...
But in Li An's eyes, the Geluolu people were obviously sworn enemies, snakes and pythons with hidden fangs. They not only robbed wealth, but also killed people. They killed their relatives and extinguished all the hope in his heart.
Fire. They are devils, heinous devils, and unforgivable poisonous snakes!
"That person was a small chief of the Geluolu tribe. He was deeply hated by the people because he often went to Yiwu to fight against the autumn wind. Later, they were defeated by the general during a robbery and were captured and taken to the camp... I
Holding the horizontal knife in my hand, I walked over step by step. Looking at his desperate eyes, I slashed with the knife without hesitation... Holding the thief's head, I went to follow the general to return to life. He smiled
He stroked my head and praised my courage."
Spreading his hands, Li An said: "The thieves chief also has some prestige in the hearts of the Geluolu people. Their people thought that they had suffered a great shame and humiliation, so they sent people to ask the general for an explanation. The general didn't say anything and led a thousand men.
Qi fought with them. The result was of course that the Anxi army won a complete victory, and the Geluolu people never dared to harass the Yiwu generation again."
When Li An said this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. At least in the four towns of Anxi, they can proudly say that they are Tang people, and the people who consider themselves Tang people can enjoy the envious looks of others. What are the responsibilities of military generals? No
Is it to guard every inch of yellow land and village party people under their feet? If military generals cannot protect their neighbors, what is the meaning of their existence?
What is the meaning of a country’s existence? Isn’t it just to protect its people? If a country doesn’t even have the ability to protect its own people, what is the meaning of its existence?
A touch of trust replaces many things that cannot be explained clearly in words.
"That general is Fumeng Lingcha?" Li Kuo deduced based on the time and basically analyzed who this person was. Fumeng Lingcha was the governor of the four towns of Anxi in the third year of Tianbao's reign, and he just resigned not long ago. According to this
It can be inferred that ten years ago, he was serving as the governor of Yiwu.
"How do you know?" Li An was obviously very surprised. He didn't tell his adoptive father's name at all. How could he know?
"Looking at it, among the generals in the border towns of the Tang Dynasty, only the old general Fumeng Lingcha hates the Geluolu people so much, right?" Li Kuo smiled and said the reason. Fumeng Lingcha was the most important person in the court.
He was known to be a protector of shortcomings. Originally, his tribe had competed with the Geluolu people for pasture, so he would not give the Geluolu people a good look in public or private matters.
In fact, before Fumeng Lingcha left office, the most important nomadic force in Anxi was the Tuqi Shi people. These Western Turks were brave and warlike, and were supported by His Majesty to resist the cannibals who continued to advance westward. But the good times did not last long.
Chief, these Tuqishi people were so unsatisfactory that they gradually divided into two factions for the sake of power in the clan, and also declined due to constant internal strife.
"Yes, if it weren't for the internal strife of the Tuqishi people, how could Commander Gao have thought of supporting the Geluolu people!" Li An was obviously quite dissatisfied with Gao Xianzhi's decision, regardless of his personal grudges with the Geluolu people.
, this nation is also a fox that is good at camouflaging. Even though they appear to be docile, they are actually war-loving and brave at heart. In other words, none of the Turkic nomads have a good temper.
"There is no way around this. The four towns of Anxi are vast and sparsely populated. If we don't support a nomadic tribe, how can we fight against the increasingly powerful Dashi?" Li Kuo also shook his head and said with a helpless smile.
Speaking of which, the troops in the four towns of Anxi are seriously insufficient. The number of soldiers and horses that can be directly dispatched by Gao Xianzhi is only 40,000 to 50,000. Not to mention comparing this number with the Longyou Army and Fan Yang Army, even the slightly smaller Shuofang Army has a higher number.
Far superior to Anxi's military strength.
"The Da Shi people have always been eyeing our four towns in Anxi. They are not satisfied with supporting the Tuqishi people named Huang to occupy Suiye City, and they even try to add the entire Western Region to their own territory. I heard that the soldiers of Da Shi all believe in Tianfang
They fight to preach, to spread the blessings of God to every corner of the world."
Li An's mood gradually stabilized and he began to analyze the situation around the four towns of Anxi to the young man. In his eyes, the threat of the cannibals to the four towns of Anxi was far greater than that of the Uighurs, Tuqishi and Geluolu people.
.Even the Tubo people are not as brave and fanatical as the cannibals. Sometimes religion can really make people obsessed. And the combat power of the possessed soldiers can be imagined!
"These big cannibals are especially good at cavalry combat. Wherever the cavalry sweeps, there will be ruins." After all, Li An has been in the army in Anxi all year round, and he also knows about the big cannibals from various channels. The big cannibals have iron-blooded discipline and military orders.
It is the only basis for the soldier's actions.
"Are the Great Cannibals' cavalry very powerful? I only know that Mobei and Liaodong are rich in war horses. Could it be that the Great Cannibals' cavalry are sharper than the Turks?" Li Kuo also became interested and took the initiative to chat with Li An. After that,
He will go to Shule to take up his post, and will inevitably have to deal with the cannibals in the future. Although the two countries will not go to war immediately, the more they understand, the more sure they will be.
"General Li doesn't know that the fighting method of the Great Eater Cavalry is very different from that of the nomadic people. The nomadic cavalry mostly uses a three-way encirclement attack method, and generally wins with the speed and impact of the cavalry. But the Great Eater Cavalry is more
Pay attention to the layout of battle formations, and use legions as units to attack the enemy. The most terrifying thing is that the national power of Dashi is not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the armor and equipment are also extremely luxurious, making it more difficult to deal with than the Turks!"
Li An's words are not unreasonable. Regardless of whether the Tang people admit it or not, a large part of the reason why the Mobei nomads were repeatedly defeated by the Tang Dynasty was because of the disadvantages of weapons and armor. On the premise of having the same number of cavalry, having more cavalry would
It is obviously easier for the side with better equipment to win. What's more, the Tang Dynasty also has a weapon to restrain the cavalry - the Mo Dao Formation! As long as the Mo Dao soldiers form a formation, even the bravest nomadic warriors will tremble.
But the Great Cannibals are different. They have more sophisticated armor and an iron-blooded will. The most important thing is that their financial resources can support the army to fight a protracted war of attrition against the Tang Dynasty. In this way, even if they have the killer weapon of Mo Daoshou, the Great Eaters
Tang was not completely sure of defeating the giant cannibal.
"What's even more troublesome is the sway of these foreign countries in the Western Regions!" Li An shook his head and said: "These countries are not as big as Zhongzhou in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, but they have become a decisive presence in the Western Regions. Dashi
When the people were attacked, they fell into the arms of Dashi; as soon as our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty arrived, they immediately burst into tears and chanted the name of the Heavenly Khan."
"Why are they so shameless!" Li Kuo waved his fist and said bitterly. In the eyes of the young man, even the weak city-states have their own dignity. If they fall with the wind like this, I'm afraid they will die in the future.
You can’t please either side, right?
"They have lost their kneecaps a long time ago! These city guardians may have been eating with you at the same table at that time, and privately sent their confidants to inform the cannibals so that they could offer a gift of heads." Li An said with a bitter smile:
"However, I don't blame them. Everyone wants to live a better life. Sometimes attachment is just a helpless choice. Only by enduring it can we wait for the chance to turn over."
"The Tuqi Shi people with the surname Huang openly rebelled against us in the Tang Dynasty, so Your Majesty supported the Tu Qi Shi people with the black surname in order to seize Sui Yechuan. Of course, this was a deliberate move. Your Majesty actually relied on the Tu Qi Shi people to fight against the great food. Who could
Let them degenerate themselves into mud that cannot hold up the wall..."
Li An obviously has a deep prejudice against Tuqi Shiren. These guys not only wasted all your Majesty's efforts, but also gave rise to civil strife, allowing the cannibals heading west to take advantage of the loophole!
"The Shule generation is very close to Bukhanna and Dongcao!" Li An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully reminded Li Kuo: "Although these Fan countries are snobbish, they also have steelyards in their hearts. For example, Bukhan
That is because the East and West Cao Kingdom is more inclined to our Tang Dynasty, while the leader of the Shi Kingdom is a Tianfang believer. The leader of the Ningyuan Kingdom is notoriously timid and often does not express his stance easily..."
Li An spoke very slowly, but his words were clear and loud. These things are definitely not something that can be read in books, nor can young people easily understand. He is still young, and some things in the political situation are still unclear and unclear.
.But he is constantly growing and nourishing himself. Young people always need to experience hardships and hardships. What he lacks now may just be some experience, and experience can only be gained by experiencing hardships personally!
One day, the young eagle will spread its wings and soar in the sky filled with flowing clouds. At that time, the only one you can rely on is yourself!
A majestic city appeared in front of Li Kuo. Outside the city, there were acres of lush pastures. The grass there was very green, the flowers were fragrant, and the people's hearts seemed not as dirty as in Chang'an...
Note 1: During the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, Ge Luolu was mainly distributed in Jinshan (Altai Mountain). After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, due to the strong pressure of the Uighurs, they moved westward to the Yili River and Suiye River basins.
Note 2: The Western Turkic tribe was once supported by the Tang Dynasty and dominated the Western Regions. At its peak, it had more than 200,000 people in control.
ps: There is a lot of controversy in the historical circles about the fall of Suiye City. Liuyun checked a lot of information. The "Jingxing Ji" written by Du Huan, the descendant of Du You, the author of "Tongdian", left a very important record:
"In the seventh year of Tianbao, Wang Zhengjian, the governor of Beiting, cut down the city walls and scattered the city walls." Therefore, many scholars regard the seventh year of Tianbao as the beginning of the abandonment of Suiye City. Therefore, from the end of Kaiyuan,
By the time King Zhengjian cut Suiye in the Seventh Year of Tianbao, Suiye should have been under the control of Tu Qishi, surnamed Huang.
