Chapter 451 Sand Table
When Wang Yuanyuan saw these people, his expression suddenly changed. They were all dressed in white, but at this moment they were dyed red because of blood. Almost all of them had different numbers of heads on their bodies. Wang Yuanyuan had lived in Tubo for many years, and some things , naturally you know.
"Brother-in-law, he is from the Qiubai tribe."
Cai Cheng pursed his lips tightly. The Qiubai tribe is an extremely ferocious ethnic group on the northwest border of Tubo. They are cruel and murderous. Now that Liangzhou has fallen into their hands, the people in the city will probably suffer a great disaster.
More Qiubai soldiers poured into Dongcheng, and large-scale massacres and plunder began.
Wang Yuanyuan said angrily: "This little guy, Gewa Zide, dares to violate the agreement."
Cai Cheng closed his eyes in pain. What kind of person was Gewadide? How could he not know that the agreement was just the last trace of Cai Cheng's conscience. At that time, he had been blinded by hatred. As for The consequences are beyond imagination.
What is an agreement? For an unvirtuous person, it is a kind of balance. When the strength is equal, both parties fear each other, agree with each other, and compromise with each other. For a virtuous person, they can speak naturally. Believe it or not.
Gewapide is obviously an unscrupulous person, and Cai Cheng and him are even more unequal in strength. In this case, what nonsense agreement is it? It is simply a fantasy for you to think that Gewapide will abide by it. talk.
The fire in Liangzhou City shot into the sky, and it was extremely conspicuous in this dark night.
The Anbei camp stationed five miles away was beginning to become commotion at this moment.
"What's going on? Why are the soldiers so panicked? Let Wang Dezhao come to see me."
Zhao Kui, Ma Wu's deputy general and his absolute confidant, put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, roaring loudly.
"General, the defenders of Liangzhou City came to inform that the Tibetans raided the city at night, and the city gate guard Cai Cheng surrendered. The entire Liangzhou City has fallen."
Zhao Kui's personal soldiers came to inform him of the situation.
Zhao Kui had a tense face. He had no acquaintances in Liangzhou City and did not know much about the situation there. He would not easily believe the words of the Liangzhou City defenders.
"Immediately send a message to Wang Dezhao to come see me."
Wang Dezhao just visited Liangzhou City today. He should know about the situation there.
While talking, Wang Dezhao came quickly.
"Zhao Kui, the city of Liangzhou has been destroyed, and the commander-in-chief is in danger."
Zhao Kui said in a deep voice: "Don't trust what outsiders say."
"General, the situation is true. Cai Cheng acted as an internal agent and opened the city gate. The Tibetans had already captured Liangzhou City. The general fought desperately to break through and fought his way out of the post station, but he still could not get out of the city gate. He had to retreat to the city to hide. We are waiting for six Among the more than ten brothers, I was the only one who rushed out of the city gate to deliver the message. The rest have all been killed in the battle, and the commander is still in the city, not sure whether he is alive or dead."
A soldier with messy clothes next to Wang Dezhao suddenly knelt down and said loudly. By the end of the sentence, he was already crying.
Only then did Zhao Kui notice this person. After taking a closer look, he recognized that he was a captain among Ma Wu's soldiers. Everyone was an old acquaintance. Naturally, he would not deceive him. Until then, Zhao Kui Kui's expression finally changed.
Wang Dezhao also said anxiously: "General, we will gather the army and go to Liangzhou City to rescue the commander-in-chief. Something will change later!"
If this changes, the safety of Commander Ma Wu will naturally be in danger.
Zhao Kui pursed his lips and thought in his mind. Ma Wu was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and his boss. He had been very kind to him. Now that he was in trouble, he would not sit idly by and ignore him.
Among the five confidant generals under Ma Wu, Zhao Kui is the youngest, but has the highest official position, and is also the most important to Ma Wu. The reason is very simple. Zhao Kui is thoughtful and calm in situations. He is a talented general. Ma Wu himself
In fact, his talent can only be considered average. He has led the army for so many years, and the reason why he has few defeats is because he knows how to use people and dares to use people. He does not have the help of people like Zhao Kui who are from a poor background but have great generals. Ma Wu cannot
Get where you are today.
Tubo's military operation tonight is full of weirdness from the inside out. Since they are making a surprise attack, they will not have many troops. 50,000 Anbei elites are stationed outside the city. If they want to get Liangzhou City, they should attack first.
The Anbei army then took Liangzhou City, but now they are doing the opposite. Their military actions were completely wrong. Even if they got Liangzhou City, the 50,000 Anbei army got the news. Once they kill them, they will immediately
It means becoming a turtle in a urn, living but not alive.
When Zhao Kui heard the news about Tubo's attack on Liangzhou City, his first reaction was to lead 30,000 troops and besiege the city. This was the safest military arrangement, but now... Ma Wu is deeply trapped in the city, and his life or death is uncertain.
, Zhao Kui had only one choice, which was to lead the army into Liangzhou City immediately. Otherwise, if Ma Wu had any shortcomings, the fault of not being able to rescue him would fall on Zhao Kui, who deliberately failed to rescue him.
After Ma Wu died and replaced him, Zhao Kui might not be able to wash away these infamy by jumping into the Yellow River.
"General..."
"Don't worry, let me think about it." Zhao Kui raised his hand and stopped Wang Dezhao.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Kui finally made a decision. Wang Dezhao led 10,000 troops to garrison the camp. Xu Jin, one of Ma Wu's five tiger generals, led 10,000 troops to besiege the city. Zhao Kui personally led 20,000 troops to enter the city and annihilate the Tibetans.
Army, rescue Ma Wu.
...........
Two days after the night battle in Liangzhou City, Wuzhou Jiedushi Li Xun led an army of 30,000 people to Xiaogu County.
Li Xun's expedition this time can be said to have come with all his strength. He only left Zheng Chun behind and led 10,000 soldiers to guard Wuzhou, Sha and Xiazhou, but almost all of them were mobilized.
Wang Renzhi once again dispatched 10,000 soldiers from Suzhou to Xiaogu County. The leading general was named Liu Tan, who was nearly forty years old. He came from the Liu clan, and his father was the fifth brother of Liu Jie's concubine.
As a result, Wang Renzhi's troops in Xiaogu County reached 15,000, with Liu Tan as the main general, Li Xiao as the deputy general, and Li Xun's 30,000 troops, with a strength of over 40,000. The military strength was quite strong.
When the news reached Lanzhou, Liu Zhigu and others learned that Li Xun's army was ready and could support the Longyou North Road battlefield at any time, and their military morale was immediately boosted.
Li Xun looked at the sand table in front of him with interest.
The sand table is seven to eight meters long and two to three meters wide. It is a miniature model of the entire Xiaogu County and is extremely lifelike.
"Commander, this thing actually shrinks the area of several miles around, including the county seat of Xiaogu County, to such an extent. The mountains and rivers are clear and lifelike. It is really eye-opening and breathtaking."
Li Cunxiao was greatly impressed.
Li Xun smiled and said quietly: "This thing is called a sand table, and it is indeed an ingenious thing."
Li Cunxiao put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "If we can expand the scale and make the whole Longyou and even the whole world look like this, we will lead the battle and get twice the result with half the effort, and we will be invincible."
Li Xun laughed loudly. Li Cunxiao's military literacy was indeed very high and he was very agile. He immediately thought of combat. Indeed, with this thing, it would be so comfortable to march and fight.
"General Li, have you seen this thing before?"
Behind Li Xun, there were five people standing, an old man over fifty years old, his two sons and two sons-in-law. It was the old man who spoke, named Wang Baiji, who had just made this thing a month ago.
I have seen very few people. This general and high-ranking official named Li has just arrived in Xiaogu County today. He has never had any interaction with me before. He should not know this thing, but after hearing that he just
That sentence seemed to have been seen before. Out of curiosity, Wang Baiji asked out loud, is there anyone else who understood this thing before him? He wanted to talk about "Being a Prince in the Empire" with more like-minded people, follow him on WeChat
