After resting for a night in Shenhaizi, Tianwei's army broke out of camp early in the morning and set off towards Suiye City.
Because Li Kuo issued an order for a rapid march, Tianwei's soldiers replaced a war horse every fifty miles, squeezing the horse power to the extreme. They must put down the Suiye rebellion before June, so as to ensure the return of the army.
During his previous mission to Hezhong, Li Kuo had already passed through Suiye City and accumulated a lot of experience along the way. Therefore, the army's itinerary this time was very compact, and there was no need to station down and send sentries to explore the trails ahead.
Despite this, necessary scout detection is indispensable. Several direct scouts brought out by Li Kuo from Tongwuying discovered a dozen of sudden cavalry Shi Sanqi not far from Shenhaizi last night. They have been trained.
The plain bronze warriors immediately bent their bows and arrows, and shot and killed several Tuqi Shi cavalrymen in just one encounter. The remaining Tuqi Shi cavalrymen were frightened, and rode away without looking back. The Tongwu scouts did not want to cause trouble.
, after beheading the enemy soldiers, he returned to the camp where he was stationed and reported the enemy's situation to the general.
After Li Kuo learned the news, he ordered the entire army to be on alert and sent a team of scouts every fifty miles to investigate the valley ahead. After doing this for about ten hours, the Tianwei Tang Army finally arrived not far from Suiye Town.
He hunt city.
"General, Helie City is ahead of us. Should we go to the city to have a rest?" Pu Dachui wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted excitedly. After coming out of Shule City, everyone has been marching for hundreds of miles.
Well, we finally encountered a city ahead. No matter what, we have to let everyone go into the city to soak in the heat, right?
"Screw you, do you think this Heli City is Suiye City, a city like Shule City? It is said to be Heli City, but in fact it is just an earthen fence about two feet high."
Li Kuo smiled and cursed in reply to Pu Dachui, then waved his right hand and pointed at the earthen wall not far away.
Li Kuo is right to say that the rise of Heyucheng dates back to the Gaozong Dynasty. At that time, the Black-headed Wuhu were driven to Daqingchi by the Western Turks. They could only herd animals and lost their pasture and their means of livelihood. Seeing that
Tens of thousands of tribesmen were about to starve to death, and the leader of the Black-headed Wuhu tribe was extremely anxious. For three days in a row, he couldn't come up with any solution. In desperation, he threw a stone into the Qingqing Pond. Unexpectedly, the stone fell into the Qingqing Pond.
The pond aroused several live fish glowing with phosphorescence. As if ordered by the gods, the leader of the Black-headed Wuhu clan knelt down devoutly and offered gifts to the Immortal Heaven. (Note 1)
From then on, the people of Heitou Wuhu made a living by fishing. Gradually, they caught more fish and sold them in the grass market. The Tuqi Shi people, Li Te people, and Turks in Suiye City went to the grass market one after another.
The market bought fish, and over time the grass market formed the Hehunting City.
"Could it be that this Heyou City can't even hold ten thousand people?" Pu Dachui's eyes widened and his mouth was as big as a goose egg. He really couldn't believe that a city couldn't even hold ten thousand people. That weekdays
How do people live in the city?
"Not to mention 10,000 people, even 5,000 people probably can't be accommodated!" Li Kuo only thought it was funny. Pu Dachui followed him to Chang'an City once. Looking at other cities in the river, they probably looked like small earthen fences.
"Then, then..." Pu Dachui's hope of soaking in a hot bath failed, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Stop complaining and hurry up to the outside of Helie City to replenish some fresh water!" Li Kuo shook his head and gave the order. He had never fought against the Tuqi Shiren, so he was not very clear about their combat power, but Suiye City's defenses were
But he saw it with his own eyes. Not to mention how strong the city's defenses were, if the cavalrymen were to attack and resist, he might not be able to take down Broken Leaf in less than ten days and a half.
That's why he thought of going to the nearby Helie City to replenish the water supply. The dry food carried by the Tianwei Army was more than enough, and the only thing missing was fresh water. As long as he had enough fresh water, Li Kuo would not worry about a war of attrition with the Tuqishi people.
.
"Hey, hey!" Pu Dachui responded repeatedly: "General, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let our brothers lose a bag of clean water!"
After saying that, Pu Dachui shouted at a soldier beside him: "What are you looking at? You don't have ears. What did the governor just say? Hurry up and let the brothers go to Heye City to get water!"
The soldier suffered in vain, so he rode on his mount to deliver the order with a mournful face.
...
...
Today's Helie City is still under the actual control of Hei Tou Wuhu. The current leader of Hei Tou Wuhu's clan, the Lord of He Lie City, is named Wugan'er. After learning that the Anxi Tang Army had arrived in Daqingchi, the old patriarch tremblingly led the way.
The tribesmen came out of the city to welcome him.
Having lived in this generation for more than a hundred years, the Black-headed Wuhu clansmen know best how to make a living. They cannot afford to offend the mighty Tang Dynasty, nor can they afford to offend the fierce and fierce Tuqishi people. They ask the Tang Dynasty
He proclaimed himself a vassal and paid tribute to the Tuqi Shiren. Everything was just to survive and continue the Black-headed Wuhu's legacy.
Survival, such an ordinary request, requires the Black-headed Wuhu tribe to pay such a price.
"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty, I, Wugan'er, the leader of the Black-headed Wuhu clan, would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you on behalf of my people. I hope that the immortal God will bless the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and may good luck be with you!"
Wugan'er put one hand on his shoulder and gave the most standard etiquette of the grassland people. Although the black-headed Wuhu changed from nomadic herding to fishing and hunting, he still did not forget the blood flowing in his bones and always remembered that he was a grassland person.
"May the Immortal Heaven bless you and your people!" Li Kuo also put his arm on his shoulder and returned a salute to Wugan'er. "My army and I came to the bank of Daqing Pond, hoping to ask for a bowl from his friend.
Drink water!”
When Li Kuo went to Tubo earlier, he learned a lot of nomadic etiquette from the White Wolf tribe. Since the Heitouwuhu tribe still considers themselves a grassland people, there is nothing wrong with him treating them with the etiquette of the grassland people.
"Ah, guests of the Tang Dynasty blessed by the immortal god, we are willing to feed you with the mother's milk of Daqingchi!" Wugan'er was very moved when he saw that Li Kuo attached so much importance to the national tradition of black-headed Wuhu, and held Li Kuo tightly.
The hands promised.
"The children of Changshengtian are willing to share their happiness with his friends!"
Li Kuo smiled slightly and bowed his head to Ugan'er in greeting.
In fact, even if Wugan'er disagrees with the Tang Army's request for water, it will not stop the Tang Army's actions. In front of the 10,000 elite Tang Army cavalry, the 3,000 old and weak cavalry that the Black-headed Wuhu barely managed to gather are simply not enough.
You are not so old that you can't distinguish between forms, and you will not risk the annihilation of your clan to confront the Tang cavalry. Of course, your assistance to the Tang army is limited to this. The person who controls Suiyechuan generation now is Tuqi Shiren.
, although the Tang army was powerful, they were still hundreds of miles away. If they offended the Tuqishi people, they might lose their only stronghold.
Fortunately, this general of the Tang Army was very careful and only asked to send his troops to the Daqing Pond to draw water. In this way, even if the Tuqishi people came to raise troops to question the crime in the future, they could still use the excuse that the Tang Army did it on their own. This young man,
He actually has great wisdom and sophisticated political experience that is completely inconsistent with his age. If he is cultivated properly, he will definitely become a big shot!
After thinking about it, Wugan'er felt extremely comfortable. As for who can rule Suiye in the end, he doesn't care at all. Whoever rules Suiye still has to tax the Black-headed Crow? As long as the tax is not so high that the Black-headed Crow protects the Black-headed Crow.
If the tribe protectors cannot bear the situation, they will continue to endure it, just like they did to the Turks and Turks for a hundred years.
In fact, Li Kuo did not plan to rest in Helie City for too long. With a heavy responsibility, he did not dare to waste any more time in Helie City. After the army finished collecting water, the young man ordered to set off.
At first, there was some unhappiness in the army, which almost led to a mutiny.
The general of the Tianwei Army this time was named Wu Fuhui, who belonged to the Longyou Army. He was very dissatisfied when he was dispatched to Anxi and "condescended" to cooperate with the young man's actions. This was another urgent march, and there were voices of complaint and opposition in the ranks.
It's enough. After finally arriving at Heye City, I could take a rest, and that stinking boy actually gave the order to set off! Has he ever led a fucking army? You don't understand! If he forces his soldiers into a hurry, let alone fight.
Okay, if you don't fight back, it's good.
Under his instruction, some veterans in the army provoked a dispute and quarreled with Li Kuo's direct line deployment. Since Gao Xianzhi transferred most of the Shule Army soldiers from the westward expedition to the river, Li Kuo brought many soldiers with him on this trip.
Li Kuo only had more than a thousand direct subordinates from the three battalions of Tongwu, Zhenwu and Kuowu. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, Li Kuo did not show the slightest hint of cowardice. He had already seen that Wu Fuhui was not a good person.
It's just that for the sake of the overall situation, I have been tolerating him. I never thought that if a good person is bullied by others and a good person is ridiculed by others, this Wu Fuhui would actually bite his nose in the face in an attempt to challenge his authority.
One army cannot tolerate two generals. If I cannot suppress this unruly Tianwei Army general this time, sooner or later this army may mutiny.
After thinking about it, Li Kuo decided to take the opportunity to rectify military discipline. While the young man ordered Pu Sledgehammer, Dou Qing, Xian Yuyucheng, Wang Xiaochun and others to arrest the Tianwei Army officers in the downtown area, he also sent his trusted officers to block all the exits. For a moment,
Wu Fuhui was actually "imprisoned" in the middle of the central army by Li Kuo's direct lineage. Although the number of soldiers in the Tianwei Army was ten times that of the boy's direct lineage, Wu Fuhui did not have any advantage locally.
"Kneel down! He's a bastard who only knows how to rebel in his nest. If grandpa doesn't squeeze your balls out today, I won't be named Pu!" Pu kicked a Tianwei weapons chief in the downtown area with a sledgehammer. It hurt.
The fire chief screamed and fell to his knees.
"Kneel down!"
"Kneel down!"
A dozen of the troublemakers who were caught just fell to their knees in front of the black-headed Wuhu clan members, completely losing the energy they had just gathered to cause trouble.
"It seems that I'm going to have a good chat with you today!" Li Kuo's eyes turned cold, and his right hand reached towards the black scabbard hanging at his waist.
