In early spring and April, Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns in Anxi, resigned from the Emperor and rushed back to Qiuci with more than 500 people. It was not Gao Xianzhi who spared no effort in military strength, but it was actually a big change that had happened in the river. It turned out that the big army had withdrawn from the river on its own initiative earlier.
The cannibals made a comeback, and they quickly captured the old land in the river that the Tang Army had just recovered in Anxi, and planned to attack and seize the four towns in Anxi.
Gao Xianzhi was shocked and rushed back to Anxi to take charge of the overall situation in order to deal with the surprise attack of the cannibals. After a little understanding of what happened, Gao Xianzhi suddenly realized that there was a rebellion in the country of the cannibals. In order to protect the country, the Caliphate mobilized all armies.
When King Qin returned to his country, the Jihadists in the Land of the River were no exception. It was just that Kufa was too far away from the River. Before King Qin’s Jihadists could reach the country of Dashi, the city of Kufa was captured by the rebels. They had been fighting against the Dashi before.
In the Tang Dynasty, the white-clothed Dashi, who was opposed to the Tang Dynasty, was replaced by the black-clothed Dashi, and the original Dashi royal family was completely purged.
However, this was just a power struggle within the Dashi nation, and it did not affect the overall national strength of Dashi. After a short rest, Dashi in black sent more than 200,000 troops to invade eastward. Today, the Hu in his hometown in Hezhong
The entire country has defected. If no plan is made early, the four towns of Anxi will also be in danger.
What makes Gao Xianzhi even more worried is that the presidential commander of this cannibalism is Abu Muslim. The former governor of Khorasan has a lot of military talents. The most important thing is that he can make good use of his power in Khorasan.
The regional influence caused all the vassal states of this generation to turn to themselves.
There is even worse news. Except for Asilanda, the leader of the Bukhanna Kingdom, almost all the Hu countries in the river have turned to Dashi. And their reasons are even more unacceptable to Gao Xianzhi. They actually think that Anxi
Jiedushi killed innocent people indiscriminately and was brutal and wreaking havoc!
After discussing with a group of generals, Gao Xianzhi agreed that he could not sit still and wait for death, but should make a surprise attack on the river to defeat the coalition forces of Dashi and Zhuhu in one fell swoop.
In the end, Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi, decided to appoint Li Siye as his deputy general and Duan Xiushi as his special general. He assembled 20,000 elite Han troops from the Anxi Protectorate and joined the troops of Bahanna and Geluolu with 10,000 troops to cross the Congling Mountains and penetrate deep into the Hu region.
For more than seven hundred miles, he fought to the death with the cannibal.
...
...
Of course, the four towns of Anxi must be defended. Gao Xianzhi left 10,000 old and weak soldiers to garrison the four towns. The rest of the soldiers were handed over to Li Kuo, the Shule military envoy, and Tianwei Jianer, who rushed to Anxi, went to suppress the rebellion of the Yechuan generation.
"Meng Xia is waiting late at the border, and the grass and trees in Hu State are long. The horses are flying faster than the flying crows, and the sky is as poor as the sunset. The protective guards have newly dispatched troops, and military uniforms will be issued in May. There are two million armored soldiers, and the golden light is scattered. The flag is flying to Kunlun, and the drums are beating to shake the Pu.
Chang. Taibai leads the army and the power of Heaven comes to the wilderness."
Cen Shen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, seeing black clouds pressing over the city in the distance. He was moved by the scene and recited a five-character poem.
"Secretary Cen is such a talented person. Throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, only Uncle Gao could recite such poems." Li Kuo nodded his head towards the distance with his riding whip and praised sincerely.
"General Li is joking. The war is about to begin. How can Cen be in a good mood?" Cen Shen smiled bitterly, shook his head, clamped the horse's belly tightly and whipped it: "I'm afraid Gao Shuai has already crossed the Congling Mountains.
I wonder how the battle is going over there, have they encountered any resistance from the cannibals?"
Cen Shen's words are true. In April, he went to Anxi from Chang'an with Tianwei Jian'er. After arriving in Kucha, he immediately participated in the internal secret discussions of Gao Xianzhi's organization. Gao Jiedu was worried that the Tuqi Shi people would not die, so he
It was decided that Li Kuo would lead these ten thousand powerful men to suppress the Tuqi Shi people, lest they collude with the cannibals and make the Anxi army vulnerable to enemies from both sides.
Sure enough, less than three days after the army set out, the Tuqishi people entrenched in Suiye City rebelled again, and Li Kuo and others' trip to Suiye became very necessary.
"Our Anxi Tang army is very powerful, but this time we go deep into the barbarian land, the supplies may not be as good as the cannibals!" Li Kuo also shook his head and analyzed carefully: "It would not be a bad idea if we can fight quickly, but this is
The second great cannibalism is coming fiercely, and I'm afraid that Gao Shuai won't be able to take advantage for a while. If it takes too long, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Cen Shen had fully understood what he meant. In fact, the supply of the Anxi Army was also what he was most worried about. He asked the marching Sima to find out that the food and grass this time was only enough for an army of 30,000.
Month, so what about one month later? What will the 30,000 troops eat?
Although in theory they can send people to the river to transport food and grass at any time to meet the army, the cannibals can completely ambush an army in Congling. There is no need to have more than 5,000 people. In this way, the Tang army's supply line can be completely cut off.
.
Such a blow left the Anxi army without supplies, and the cannibals were fighting at home. If they could not win in one battle, the consequences would be disastrous.
Although Cen Shen could use poetry to cheer himself up, he knew clearly that the Great Eater was not an easy bone to chew. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief had already arranged for them to go to the Suiye River to suppress the Tuqi Shi rebels. In this way, even if
The Anxi Army retreated and they, who were blocked at the Geluoling Pass, could also withdraw from the Suiye River.
In this sense, their task is more arduous than the main force of the Tang Army, which is advancing head-on. Whether they can safely control the Broken Leaf Generation is related to the safety of the Tang Army in Anxi!
"Huh!" Cen Shen took a deep breath and said, "In General Li's opinion, how likely is it that the Tibetan coalition forces will rebel?"
Apart from the supply factor, what worried Cen Shen the most was the loyalty of the Fan state. No matter how weak the fighting power of the Hu state was, they were still a force, but if they defected in the face of battle...
Li Kuo thought for a moment and said: "It's hard to say this. The Hu people have always been cunning. If our Anxi army wins consecutively, they will bow down and show their respect. But if our Tang army loses power, they may be the first ones to jump out and attack them."
.”
"You are right. The Hu people have always worshiped the strong and do not care about benevolence, justice and morality. Therefore, we must not take it lightly!" Cen Shen was very satisfied with Li Kuo's analysis and thought that this young man indeed has some talents and is not arrogant.
Shuai entrusted him with important tasks.
Hey, I just hope that everything is just because of my own care, and that Gao Shuai and the others can defeat the cannibals and come back victorious.
"General Li, let's speed up a little more so that we can reach Suiye before the middle of the month!"
Cen Shen bowed his hands to Li Kuo in slight greeting.
"Yes!" Li Kuo nodded and gave a few instructions to the herald beside him. The herald took the flag, galloped along the horse path left for him in the middle of the team, and left with the order.
"Your Majesty the General has given an order for the entire army to march at a high speed. Every fifty miles a war horse will be replaced. The tired horses will be placed by the roadside and collected and put away by the logistics camp!"
"Your Majesty the General has an order. The whole army must march at a high speed. Don't waste your horse power. We must rush to Shenhaizi before tonight!"
