The first thirty-seventh chapter can be attacked and retreated and can be defended in an invincible
Chapter 137: Advance can attack and retreat, and defend and maintain an invincible place (second update)
On the road from Roburula Valley to Yecheng, more than 200,000 people formed a long dragon. These Han slaves captured by the Tubo people were struggling to move towards Yecheng.
Although the cold wind blew like a knife, it was as painful as a knife cut. The cold wind whistled in his ears like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, these refugees gritted their teeth and moved forward with difficulty.
Suddenly, a small commotion came from the team. A gray-haired woman fell to the ground with her butt, pounding her legs with her hands, and howling: "Ah, I'm so tired that I can't walk anymore. Let me die here!"
The people around him shook their heads and didn't even look at the woman. It is said that a woman of this age has no use in Tubo and has long been thrown to Ao Quan for feeding. However, this woman lived well. She was robbed by Tubo people from Wudu County to Tubo in the ninth year of Daye.
However, this old woman has a unique skill, which can deliver a baby. Although she has not lived well in Tubo over the years, she has eaten and dressed warmly. However, no one of these people sympathized with her and let her sit on the ground and wailed.
A migrant army captain, a soldier from Beiwei Army with his arms hanging on his back, walked to the woman and shouted, "Can you still go? Don't leave, let the way out, don't block the road!"
Listening to the black-faced captain's words, the old woman stopped crying. She hurriedly got up and caught up with the team in front.
The people around who were originally tired also gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward.
Looking at this scene, the black-faced Beiwei Army soldier breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ying knew that human nature was evil, seeking profit and avoiding harm, which is human instinct. He should not be sympathetic in anything. If he is too arrogant, he will not be able to do anything!
Jiang Xingba was originally a personal soldier of Jiang Baoyi, the left commander of the Tang Dynasty and the right Wugu General Jiang Baoyi. In the second year of Wude, in the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou, he was captured alive by Huang Ziying, the general under Liu Wuzhou, and was killed by Liu Wuzhou because he refused to surrender. After Jiang Xingba was defeated, he was prepared to assassinate Liu Wuzhou. Unexpectedly, Liu Wuzhou was defeated and killed by Chen Ying, so Jiang Xingba surrendered to Chen Ying.
Later, when the Beiwei Army was formed, Jiang Xingba became a member of the Beiwei Army because of his strong skills. In previous battles, Jiang Xingba was extremely brave and gradually promoted to the captain of the Ninth Regiment. However, in the battle a month ago, Jiang Xingba was hit by a Tubo general with a mace, becoming the highest general in the Beiwei Army.
There was no way, Jiang Xingba became the general person in charge of the migration of the people this time. It was not easy to manage 200,000 people. This gave Jiang Xingba, who was originally a company-level officer, an extremely troubled person.
Jiang Xingba didn't understand why Chen Ying was embarrassed by these poor people at first. Until now, he realized that only by making up his mind, these people would grit their teeth and move forward.
If you meet someone who can't walk, give it a horse. Then, no matter whether you can walk or not, they want a horse to travel with you. Even if you can walk, they will pretend not to walk.
Not to mention that Liu Tong did not have so many horses, even if he had so many war horses, he would have abandoned more than 200,000 war horses because he had no forage. Once he lost a large number of war horses, the Beiwei army would be defeated. Only God knows how many of these more than 200,000 people could survive!
Qipan Valley is a valley that travels through the north and south of Kunlun Mountains. It is a veritable maze like. Those who have not come here will definitely be confused. However, after passing Qipan Valley here, the road below will be much easier.
However, at this time, the refugees were at their end of their lives, and their speed was much slower than expected, and because they personally had jerky and milk bricks, most of them had no food.
Looking at the endless desert, these people were desperate.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, I will beat me to death, and I won't leave!"
The people who arrived one after another looked at the endless rolling yellow sand in the north. They had neither water nor dry food. Walking into the desert was similar to committing suicide. Originally, these people had a goat, but the goat with a lean bone was either killed and eaten, or had already become food in their stomachs.
The people were hungry and weak all over, relying on the Wei army's whip to suppress them so that they did not run around. The commander who led the team knew this very well. Although his Zhechong Mansion had not yet walked ten miles after most of the day, he did not dare to urge them too much, and urged them to rebel.
Jiang Xingba shouted: "Isn't there a river in front of you called the Yarkang River? When we walk in front of the Yeqiang River, we have a way out!"
"God knows how far Ye Qiang River is!"
"Brothers and sisters, work harder, let's walk forward again. When we reach Yecheng, we will have food!" Jiang Xingba said again.
These people responded weakly to Jiang Xingba without cheering. They did not take such blank checks seriously after hearing too many times. Jiang Xingba was also helpless about this. He also wanted to have enough food and drink from his own troops. Liu Tong had reported to Chen Ying and promoted him to the position of Zhechong Duwei in the future, and he would be promoted to the commander of more than 1,500 people. Now if there is any mistake in this migration, he will be promoted to the position of merit this time, which will be a bit unrest.
But the dry food had already been eaten up and there was not much water left. Jiang Xingba murmured and cursed: "Damn Tubo people!"
Just then, a rapid sound of horse hooves came.
These people looked at the dust rising from afar with weak energy. The Han people gathered instinctively, some of them holding wooden spears, and some of them holding a scimitar. They felt a little tired and threw away the cowhide shield. Now they all regret it.
Jiang Xingba wanted to cry very much at this moment. Now they were trapped and horses were exhausted. Even a small Turkic cavalry could kill the Qipan Valley and blood flowed into a river.
Jiang Xingba drew his knife and yelled hard: "Brothers and sisters, if you still want to be slaves, just sit still. As long as you don't surrender, the enemy may not kill you!"
Listening to this, these Han slaves who were originally deadly looked responsive.
They were all slaves to the Tubo people, and they had already had enough of those dark days.
"Fight with them, fight with them!"
These people roared and struggled to hold their weapons. Inadvertently, a strong murderous aura filled the entire space.
Soon the speed of this cavalry became faster and faster, and their distance became closer and closer.
Gradually, it became clear that these cavalrymen were wearing strange clothes that looked like cloaks but wrapped their whole bodies in them.
However, what excited Jiang Xingba the most was that the black-clad cavalry had a big word "Tang" written on the cavalry flag.
These black-clad knights rushed past the roadside, and shouted in a strong Guanzhong or Henan accent while galloping: "Everyone, please stand on the side of the road and make a move. Our troops will arrive soon. Please stand on the side of the road and make a move, let's go first!"
When these people were robbed, the Tang Dynasty had not appeared. The Beiwei Army used its military flag to move in Tubo, and did not say that it was the Tang army. These people who were full of silence all cursed: "You immortal Banban, I will be sad to retreat your hammer!"
"Your evil slut, let me give way to you? Who are you old!"
"Your mother's follicle, don't think she's so ox that she's riding a horse. I don't want to let her go. What can you do?"
"That's right, if you don't want to give it, you won't give it!"
...
The black-clad knight was not angry either and rushed straight to Jiang Xingba, without getting off the horse and saluting. He just clasped his fists and asked, "This general must be the highest general of this army, right?"
Jiang Xingba looked at the military salutes of the black knight and immediately understood that this was Chen Ying's unit.
Jiang Xingba said loudly: "General dare not be the one, Jiang Xingba, the captain of the 9th Regiment of the Beiwei Army, is here!"
"Let your people get out of the way and camp on the spot. There is more than 300 miles of desert in front of you, and you can't get through without sufficient preparation!" said the black cavalry: "It's better to prepare and go together!"
Jiang Xingba breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is the Protector of the Great?"
The black cavalry nodded, "The Protector is here, about fifty miles away from here. You hurry up and let someone get some ice from the mountain. We only brought food, and there was not enough water!"
...Chen Ying thought that this great migration of 200,000 people would be full of bones and corpses.
When Chen Ying learned from Jiang Xingba that the number of people who died of freezing, starving, and illness along the way would not exceed a thousand people, Chen Ying was finally relieved.
"You did a very good job!" Chen Ying looked at Jiang Xing, who was hanging his arms, and said domineeringly: "You are!"
"At the end... Jiang Xingba is the captain of the 9th Regiment of the Beiwei Army!" Jiang Xingba seemed a little excited when he saw Chen Ying for the first time.
Compared with the lower-level officers of the Tang army, Chen Ying was their idol. Although Li Jing had a good record and became the king of Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty today. However, Li Jing had a good family background and had a high starting point. However, Chen Ying was born in the Hou Mo Chen family, and only circulated in the circle of nobles in the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary soldiers took Chen Ying as an example.
After all, Chen Ying was promoted to the second-rank captain of the Western Regions in just five years.
Chen Ying looked at Jiang Xing and domineeringly: "You are now starting to leave the Beiwei Army and immediately take office as the governor of Yezhou and the general manager of Yezhou's troops!"
Yezhou was discovered only after Chen Ying arrived in Yecheng County.
The area of Ye County is too large. The entire county has been gone for three days and has not yet gone out. In terms of area alone, Yecheng County is almost the area of Jingzhao Prefecture. As a county, it is too large. Chen Ying took Ye from Yerkangcheng County on the spot and built a new state.
The sixth-rank lieutenant was promoted to the chief supervisor of the fourth-rank 1 state, which was also a three-level promotion.
Jiang Xingba was very happy.
However, after being happy, he suddenly realized: "Daduo Protector, when did the Tang Dynasty have a Yezhou?"
"It didn't before, but it's now!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly.
Only then did Jiang Xingba realize that it was just Chen Ying who had just built a new state after a move.
Chen Ying pointed to the huge sand table in the carriage and said, "Yezhou is bounded from the northern Xiye City, and to Luoburula, and set up six counties of Xiye, Ke County, Shache, Ye County, Chessboard, and Luobu. You can build the county town yourself and choose the county magistrate yourself, but there is one thing, from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, even any village chief must be our own people!"
Jiang Xing domineeringly: "The last one will definitely let down Chen Dadu's trust!"
Chen Ying suddenly discovered that Yecheng County had most grasslands, which were very suitable for reclamation. Here, until later generations, were forbidden areas for the Han people. Here, the Han people were an absolute ethnic minority. However, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were records of migrating Han people no less than twenty times, but there were less than five thousand Han people here.
Where did these people go? In fact, it is easy to answer. They were killed!
Yecheng County has fertile land, dense grasslands, and the Yarkand River can be irrigated, which is very suitable for human survival. In such a place, there is no reason why the Han people would move out of their homes.
Now that Chen Ying is here, there is no reason to leave again.
Of course, Chen Ying finally found that as long as he crossed the Qipan Valley of Kunlun Mountain, he could directly reach the snow plateau in Tubo.
In history, the only mistake of the Tang Dynasty was to counterattack Tubo, with only the Dafeichuan road. Moreover, on this road, Tubo built more than a dozen passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the stone castle. The Tang Dynasty fought for more than ten years but failed to defeat it, and it lost tens of thousands of troops here.
But now it is different. As long as you arrive at Roburula along the Chessboard Valley, the Tang Dynasty's army can go down along the Kunlun Mountains, just like the Milky Way pouring out.
Therefore, Chen Ying decided to start operating Yezhou.
As long as Yezhou is well managed, the Tang Dynasty will be invincible in the Western Regions!
Chen Ying sent cavalry to the west along the Qipan Valley. After 50 or 60 miles, he went down the river along the Yerkang River Valley.
On the river bank, as carriages slowly arrived, the carriages stopped and immediately cooked quickly.
The fragrance of meat buns spreads with the steam, and these tired and weak people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You can survive.
