After walking through Wuming Valley, he walked along the ancient Pearl River, and the five thousand Tang troops had left Kuixi City far behind.
It is definitely a great news for the Tang army to pass the pass without any effort. After all, the purpose of their trip was to go to the near Talas to pick up the Anxi army. Any delay on the road may affect the final battle situation.
Therefore, along the way, they would not fight with the cannibal minions, but would speed up the marching as quickly as possible and avoid whistles at various passes.
As the commander of this army, Li Kuo's mission was not easy. Although in the battle to conquer Thunder Ye, he completely won the admiration of the soldiers of Tianwei with the black knife and silver spear, these soldiers were not himself after all
Of course, the direct lineage will not be as easy as the soldiers of the Tongwu Camp and Shule Army. That's fine, after all, he can temporarily appoint the officers of the Tongwu Camp as the captain and brigade commander of the Tianwei Army, so as to be better
control this army.
What made Li Kuo’s most headache was the attitude of his confidants such as Pu Dahui. Due to differences with him on the matter of taking medicine, the first fierce general of the Tongwu Camp had a dispute with the most respected governor for the first time. The war was about to come, and the army was in a state of mind.
The most important thing is. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Li Kuo's words were a bit fierce. Pu Dachui mistakenly thought that the wife of Governor Li would rather sacrifice his brothers to protect those Hu people whom he had never met.
As a result, Pu Dahui and Li Kuo gradually became distant. Although he still maintained respect for the young man on the surface, there was something between him and Li Kuo, and it was awkward to see it.
Some other direct generals from the Tongwu Camp, such as Xian Yu Yucheng, Dou Qing and others, also questioned Li Kuo to a greater or lesser extent. It was just that they did not say anything clearly based on the quality of soldiers.
In their opinion, the world is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. Faced with this situation, only the strongest person can survive, and mercy on the enemy will only end up harming himself and his companions. Although Governor Li has always emphasized that he
This attitude is only for civilians, but there is still a gap in the hearts of the Tongwu soldiers.
"Brother Kuoer, it's getting late. Let's go to the camp in front to rest!"
The dull atmosphere along the way was really hard to resist. Zhang Yanji couldn't bear to see Li Kuo frowning, so he pointed at the camp that was hidden not far away, and suggested loudly.
Since they abandoned Julan City and walked from the ancient Pearl River, they could not see the specific location on the map. However, from the general direction, they should be less than one hundred miles away from Talas City.
In this position, any situation may occur, and everyone must be prepared to deal with all difficulties.
"Well, I'll go there for a night of rest. I'll tell you that the whole army will be stationed in front of me!"
Li Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and waved his whip and ordered.
This camp was built by the Tang army in Anxi. According to the camp, it can accommodate about 10,000 people. In other words, there are at least two similar camps nearby. Since the camp foundation has been set up, it will save many things from Tianwei Army.
.Just tie the tent to the wooden stake and tighten the remaining rope, and a tent will be set up.
Set up a tent and set up a simple military camp in Lu Chai to garrison the troops. Although there are fewer corner towers to serve as a guard post, the Tianwei Army only stays here for one night, and it is enough to leave special personnel to take turns to patrol at night.
.
After setting up the camp, he was going to bury the pot and cook. Wang Xiaochun found a good doi in the back section of the military camp. He was about to ask the sergeant to draw water, but Li Kuo hit him right away.
"You dare to absorb the water from this abandoned camp at will?" Li Kuo frowned slightly and called out Wang Xiaochun loudly.
Wang Xiaochun curled his lips and understood: "At most, I just put in the pills, and I can't kill anyone!"
"You!" Li Kuo was choked and sighed for a while: "This place is not as good as Wuming Valley, it is already near Talas City. If you make such an unreasonable act, I will deal with your military law."
Wang Xiaochun felt aggrieved and said stubbornly: "Yes, I contradicted the officials and asked the governor to order the judicial officer to beat me hard with a military stick. It would be better to beat me to death, so that no one would upset the governor!
”
"You!" Seeing that he was so childish, Li Kuozhi was helpless. "Well, I know you are angry, and I won't care about you. But everything has a certain rule, and you can't do it according to your nature. I will forgive you today.
, If you commit another crime, go to the judicial army to get the board."
After saying that, Li Kuo turned around and walked towards the camp, walked a few steps and said, "Go to the mountain stream two miles away to get water, so you may not be able to keep the medicine."
For some reason, Wang Xiaochun was a little disappointed and guilty. Isn’t he too much treating the governor like this? But, why don’t he understand the thoughts of the brothers? Alas, he just hopes that the governor will really beat him up.
Military sticks are cleared!
......
......
Li Kuo is now very conflicted. On the one hand, he is his brother who shares life and death, and on the other hand, he is the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality. Of course, he is not a corrupt scholar and will not grasp the benevolence and righteousness of those dogmatic principles.
At that time, he also made a ruthless plan to flood Jiuqu City, which caused a stir in the court. At that time, his young man became more and more aware that what he did was a hero and disdained the blame of the ministers in the court.
At first, I thought that these court officials were just corrupt scholars who were verbal and had no right to argue with their behavior.
I also thought at the beginning that the so-called benevolence and righteousness and the kingly way are bullshit!
But, if that's true?
After coming to Anxi, he witnessed Gao Xianzhi's big and small battles in the Western Regions with his own eyes. He began to doubt his original actions.
First it was Xiao Bolu, then Shiguo, Tuqishi...
All the barbarians of Hu who fought to the death were brutally slaughtered by Gao Shuai after the city was broken. If these chiefs of the Hu barbarians fought to the death and angered the Gao Da Protector, they should take revenge after the city was broken. But what does these mistakes have to do with ordinary people?
How can the city massacre be matched with the Tang Dynasty's etiquette and the country of kingdom?
You can say that this is to intimidate the Hu people in other countries by force so that they dare not commit crimes again!
But has things really developed in the direction Gao Shuai thought?
In the 36 countries in the Western Regions, in the end, except for the Khan who almost all threw themselves into the arms of the cannibals! What is their excuse for rebellion? It is the inhumane massacre of the city and the unjust plunder of the Anxi Army!
If the chief of Hu's emptiness and slandering and slaughtering the snake, two sides and three swords are the act of beasts, then what is the difference between the Tang army in Anxi's actions of slaughtering all the people in the city to establish authority and beasts?
Using violence to fight violence will only breed the derivatives of huge profits, but will not completely eradicate huge profits! Perhaps these huge profits will not appear when you are strong, but as long as you show a little bit of decline, all the obedient things you have ever infringed on.
The enemy will fight back!
Strict and ruthless in the army are to give the army a steely will and excellent execution ability! Of course, it is understandable to be ruthless in the enemy. The hesitation and kindness in front of the two armies may make you die. The battlefield
There is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness!
But the massacre of the city after the war was a beast that despises life! You thought this could shock the people of Hu, but you didn’t know that it would only arouse the last bit of anger in their hearts and make them stand firmly with the Hu team.
!
Since resistance is death, not resistance is also death, why don’t they give it a try?
Gao Shuai’s mistake is that he is too conceited, a kind of conceit that is soaked in his bones. He thought that the people he led were the army of the superior country and could trample on other people’s dignity at will, but he did not know that this would only force the still-swaying Hu Kingdom to the point of being big.
Tang's opposite is up!
If he had not slaughtered the city of Shi Kingdom and just beheaded the king of Shi Kingdom, it would not have aroused such great public grievances. If he had not indulged his subordinates to loot the wealth of Hu people, there would have been no subsequent Battle of Talas!
The Battle of Talas could have been avoided, but he forced the Anxi army to a dead end. Faced with such violence, the Hu Kingdom in the Western Regions had no choice. The great cannibals got a bargain and obtained so many mercenaries in vain. All of this
It’s all because of the handsome arrogance!
But they didn't understand it, so they didn't even understand the direct confidants they brought out. Leading troops and managing the army should focus on combining hardness and softness. They should be ruthless when they should be ruthless, and when they should be gentle, they should be gentle.
Blindly using violence to fight violence will only lose all the people's hearts...
Taking a deep breath, Li Kuo's eyes tightly and rested for a while. He was too tired and had already embarked on a path that he could not turn back. The road was full of doubts and disdain, so he could only walk silently.
, fight back with actions.
"Brother Kuoer, haven't you rested yet?"
Zhang Yanji carefully walked to Li Kuo with all his steps and placed a bowl of fragrant rice porridge beside the boy.
"Didn't you stop?" Li Kuo smiled slightly and signaled Zhang Yanji to sit down and chat. "You have seen everything today, and even Xiaochun is a little blamed me."
"Brother Kuoer, don't care. He is just a person who is unforgivable. In fact, you are the one he respects the most!"
Seeing that Li Kuo mentioned this again, Zhang Yanji hurriedly played the side drum. Over the past few days, Brother Kuoer has been worried about the march, which has caused some dissatisfaction among some brothers. He must not let him go
Brother Kuoer is heartbroken!
"Is that true? A gentleman is not flattering to the superiors and not arrogant to the subordinates. In this way, Xiaochun is considered a gentleman."
