Chapter two hundred and seventy sixth play off
The entire Tuyuhun was finally unable to withstand the continuous infiltration and destruction of Qin Hao. He wanted to collapse without waiting for the Tang army to attack.
As Master Yuantong was stabbed, more and more tribes were constantly commanding. Murong Fuyun's direct line even clashed with his subordinate tribes seven times within six days. Now, let alone gathering troops to resist the Tang army, it is difficult to even protect the Khan position.
Duan Zhixuan did not let this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Shortly after Yuantong was stabbed, he suddenly gathered troops and rushed to Qinghai Lake without warning.
This battle was similar to history. Duan Zhixuan won a great victory and Murong Fuyun was defeated. He lost almost all the Qinghai Camp. He was so scared that he hurriedly led his troops to the mountain desert. He became a turtle with his head shrank and never dared to show his head again.
Unlike history, Duan Zhixuan had an extra picture in his hand, a Tuyuhun topographic map that Qin Hao and his friends drew for Duan Zhixuan with all their might, and his military strength was also stronger than in history (Duan Zhixuan controlled the border army and the alien army).
In history, Duan Zhixuan was timid at this time. After a small victory, he was afraid that he would suffer a crushing defeat due to insufficient supply due to insufficient supply. Therefore, he retreated after a small battle. In the end, he had to send Li Jing here to turn the tide.
This is why Qin Hao said when he delivered the picture. He stopped working hard while Murong Fuyun was in a hurry. When Li Jing gathered troops from Chang'an and came over again, he might even be cold. Not only will Murong Fuyun be prepared, but the strategic advantages he had finally established would be lost, and it even caused an embarrassing situation where the Party Xiang people turned against each other.
This time, Qin Hao finally felt the power of his little butterflies. Duan Zhixuan didn't know whether it was because of Qin Hao's picture or what Qin Hao said. After defeating Murong Fuyun, he resolutely rushed his troops south and plunged into the extremely harsh natural environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Qin Hao, who learned about this, wanted to laugh. It should be considered a merit to bring such a big change to the Tang Dynasty.
The battle went so smoothly at the beginning, and all the people were very happy for a while. Qin Hao was no exception. He specially bought two of the best round tea and cooked it. He personally treated all the colleagues in the rumors. After being tired for so many days, he finally had a little rest.
In fact, when they were doing intelligence work, they became idle after they officially got into trouble. Although there were still countless brothers working on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the remaining task was to take advantage of the opportunity of Murong Fuyun's steadfast walls and clear the fields to further incite the internal divisions of Tuyuhun and provoke the anger of Tuyuhun herdsmen towards their Khan. Although it is equally important, this kind of thing depends on people, time and place, and their center cannot give orders. Simply put, it is useless.
But these Fengyan Yamen can stop doing business, but Qin Hao himself cannot, because his Fengyan Yamen's fault has at least nothing to do with her on the surface. He just came back as an advisor to guide Ma Zhou and the others in his work, and the Qing Gang is his job.
The Tuyuhun is a small country and weak people, and its military strength is far from being strong compared to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, fighting head-on is like hitting stones with eggs. In order to win this victory, in addition to strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, the plateau, desert and deep mountains drag down the supplies of the Tang army.
For this reason, whether the Tang army can win this battle is not in how to fight, but in how to ensure that the army ahead will not cut off the baggage. Since the Qing Gang monopolizes the world's grain transportation, it is natural that the military supplies are transported to the army will be bound to be responsible. Moreover, from the perspective of organization, they are also a navy army. Fortunately, during the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River could barely go by, and they could barely keep up with the large army along the Yellow River.
For Qin Hao, the Qing Gang was full of talents, and the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were all among the most popular ones. He was just a little bit of a matter of calculating military rations, so he simply let go and threw himself in another project with all his heart: Yan Yin.
Perhaps it was fate that the salt induced goods would eventually take this path. Just like in the Ming Dynasty, the court encouraged private merchants to buy grain and deliver grain to the frontline soldiers, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and merchants used salt induced to settle the amount of grain purchased and transported.
These merchants spent all their money to send their food to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. They couldn't just be so empty. Duan Zhixuan's army was rushing wildly on Tuyuhun's territory. So these merchants had a life-long mind and started business on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
When wars were fought a thousand years ago, everyone was a soldier. No one would care whether you were an army or a civilian. In short, you were strong while walking on the road. Apart from food, you could not bring much things to the road. Gold and silver might even be kept in your pocket before, and all those worthless gadgets were thrown away.
When the merchants saw that the best sheepskin and deer skin and even copper coins had to throw away, and they thought it was a pity. So they used the salt in their hands to start a business with the soldiers. So most of them pulled over a boat of food, and the ship of sheepskin was used to take cows back. The spoils snatched by the soldiers could also be replaced with salt in a win-win situation!
Is it robbery? If it can be cashed out at any time, then the efficiency will definitely be terrible. The wind and sand of the desert will become drizzle. I heard that all the soldiers who died in battle will not only be sent back to their families, but also the leaders will give you an extra three or two stones.
What a win-win situation! Qin Haohun is so scared away, okay? I thought that salt rays can only be a replacement for gold after all. Even if there is any problem, it will only be a cheating of some big merchants and nobles. It will not take their lives, and it will be easy to make up for it by itself.
But how come so many salt saps were all taken to the hands of the soldiers? I heard that in less than a month, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had sent three million stones of salt saps, and it became more and more. I don’t know who was so smart that he actually discovered the medicinal value of Cordyceps. One hundred saps in Chang'an City. Qin Hao seriously suspected that this was just intentional by the court to increase morale. Eight out of ten Cordyceps would eventually be sent to the palace.
So, Duan Zhixuan and the others are so happy to fight on the deserted desert. No matter how hard or tired the Chinese people are when making money, they will feel happy. They should have looked for the main force of the enemy in the desert to seek an opportunity for annihilation. Now... the enemy? What kind of enemy? We are here to find Cordyceps.
Not only that, as the scraps on the front line make a fortune, the soldiers of Guanzhong, who have always been so arrogant, can no longer be stable. Why can such a good thing be so good that the border troops and foreign races catch up? We also want to make money, ah! We also have to contribute to the country!
In fact, it was almost the same. Murong Fuyun had gradually fiddled with the tribes in Tuyuhun. Perhaps because Duan Zhixuan and the others burned and killed and looted too hard, the few Xianbei people suddenly became a common enemy. It was indeed time for the main force of the Tang Dynasty to fight.
Haha, Qin Hao didn't dare to think about it. After this war, the soldiers of the foreign race outside the Guanzhong Pass found that all the money they earned with their heads turned into waste paper. Will they be angry and poking a hole in the sky?
