Chapter 430: Listening to Niannu’s singing (I)

Riding on a horse, he came to Wansu City and rushed to the soldiers on the city and shouted, "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty."

When he heard this, the soldiers in the city were so angry that they bit their teeth. Some shot arrows, and some were preparing to drag the catapult. But Li Wei could not stand within the range, so the catapult was likely to be shot, but when they aimed, Li Wei would have finished speaking and left.

Ignoring their violent reactions, he continued, "Listen to the Tuyuhun soldiers in the city. July Gu will switch, you should go home immediately, follow your family and tribe, and go to Lingzhou together to join your real Khan. Gu has arranged a paradise for you and provided enough food for you to eat and drink. This is your last chance, otherwise I will not be cautious, start from Wansu City, and travel to Rentou Mountain, to Wuhai and Baihai."

After saying that, he immediately retreated. Then he asked the soldiers to start dropping a large number of gunpowder bags and stones into the city.

After fighting for a long time, both sides had their own wonderful things. They were originally afraid, but later they gradually remembered that they prepared a large amount of water buckets in the city, filled with water. When they saw the gunpowder bag falling down, they could dodge and splash water while playing some effect. So Pei Xingjian came up with a way to tie the gunpowder with cowhide, put the leads with bamboo tubes, and open three or four leads. Even if one was destroyed, the other two or three leads continued to burn. At this moment, Tubo had no choice but to see the gunpowder bag falling down and began to dodge.

After bombing, some Tubo people who were guarding the city were killed, they returned with their army.

I told Lunzan Po clearly that I am sure to win Jiuqu.

Li Wei has never been interested in the territory west of Chiling. Not only because of military tactics, I still remember some history by chance. It seems that Ge Shuhan once opened fields in the west of the ridge and built a city on Longju Island. This trick seems very clever.

After the city is built, Qinghai is used as the city wall, and some ships can be built. The north can be used to guard Zhangye and other roads, the south can be passed through Dafeichuan Ridge to Dafeichuan, and the west can be threatened by Fuqi City. But in winter, Qinghai has frozen, and the garrisons in the west can be wiped out. There is no danger to defend!

The Yellow River also freezes in winter, and the river bank is not the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Most river banks are very steep and people cannot go down immediately. It can only be said that it is better than crossing the river, but there are only a few places where people are on the ice, and they are easily attacked and are easy to defend.

Not only the west of Ling, but also from Wuhai to Baihai, this area is not easy to defend. If it could defend, the famous general Su Dingfang had been stationed in the city to defend. Although there was no new trencher or gunpowder at that time, it would definitely be beneficial to have a city guard than to have no city guard.

So later, after Li Wei fled, tens of thousands of troops in Lun Qinling did not dare to move. It was because there were too many empty space here and there were fewer soldiers to be afraid that they would not be able to block them.

There is only one, guarding Zishankou, which requires two prerequisites: conquering Bailan Qiang, otherwise attacking inside and outside, even the current stone castle will inevitably be lost. Then build a city from Zishankou in summer, sending soldiers who are not afraid of cold and the inhabitants of the high mountain to form a defender. Tubo cannot go north, or take a detour from the Western Qiang.

After a big circle, it was Bailan Qiang. Therefore, Li Wei planned to plan to truly subdue Tuyuhun, west of Chiling, and never thought of truly subduing it. It was unlikely that these tribes were easy to deal with, mainly nobles, and they married Tubo people. If they attacked and I surrendered, the Tubo people would attack inside and outside. It was like a war that was about to take place.

Lunzanpo is in Hongji City.

There is no danger to defend Chiling, so I have to use the Yellow River as a natural danger and to gather the people to the south and west of Niuxindui. The troops are insufficient, so I can only guard the Yellow River. This is the center of gravity.

The first thing I received was the news of Niu Xindui's defeat. In anger, he sent his personal guards to find Tienuoluo and pulled him out to behead him for public display. Originally, there were fewer soldiers in his hands, and after a little tossing, he was even less, which made him suffer more than 4,000 soldiers at once.

Then I heard Li Wei shouting under Wansu City.

I was very confused. It would happen sooner or later that the Tang Dynasty would re-capture the three cities of Jiuqu. However, at this time, if people were to be released in July, they would have to be dispatched to respond. Otherwise, as long as they sent thousands of troops again, the people would flee to Hehuang, but not too many. In August, they would have to harvest wheat, and some soldiers and families would have to settle down again.

Logically speaking, we will not attack the Nine Qu Sancheng at this time.

However, he was inconspicuous.

After pondering for a while, he issued several orders. The first order was aimed at immigrants. Any tribe who wanted to escape to Hehuang would be executed by the tribe chief's family. Kill all the people. Lunzan Po did not have the courage to cause rebellion. But it was still possible to kill the clan leader's family.

The second order was to recruit 10,000 soldiers from Dangxiang to guard Hequ. Dangxiang's soldiers were not as injured as Tuyuhun, which was an excuse for the clarity. In fact, Lunzanpo also discovered this after going back and forth. I don't know how many people, but I know that Dangxiang people are becoming increasingly difficult to connect with the Tang Dynasty. I was afraid that Dangxiang's betrayal, but it is not easy to punish now, so I came up with this solution. These soldiers not only fought, but also were a hostage.

The third order was issued after pondering for a long time.

Let the army evacuate from Wansu City, Hongji City, Baigu City to Hexi and Jiuqu Army City. Unfortunately, these three cities also planned to give in, but this was not the case. They were preparing to cause heavy damage to the Tang Dynasty army, so they gave in and lay the foundation for the counterattack next year.

This gift is really equivalent to giving in.

But giving up also has the benefit of giving up. It is defended by the Yellow River, and its troops are reduced to the Jiuqu Army and Dushan Army, and most of them can be drawn out to prevent the people of Tuyuhun from escaping. Tuyuhun is the foundation of Qinghai, and Qinghai is the foundation of Tubo's expansion.

After weighing the severity, I finally made this decision.

At this time, Lunzanpo was no longer as energetic as last year. There were various factors in combat. His strategy was higher than that of the other party, and he could win more than the other party. The other party had an annoying prince and a stronger Pei Xingjian. He seemed to be a little worse. He also missed a person, and he was also a little worse than Hei Ya Changzhi.

Either it is a soldier, not as many as the opponent's soldiers, the weapons are not as advanced as the opponent's weapons, the supplies are not as many as the opponent's supplies, and the morale is not as far as the opponent's. This battle cannot be fought.

Li Wei returned to Jishi Military City.

Hei Ya Changzhi rode a horse quickly. The battle of Niu Xindui is an appetizer. The battle is about to begin. If you fight well, it may be the last battle in Qinghai this year. If you come to fight, what will the credit come if you don’t fight?

Li Wei frowned and said, "General Black-toothed, you should not be underestimated by your battle. How many enemies can be wiped out and how far Tuyuhun can be destroyed is all related to you."

"But your Highness, I thought about it over and over again, why do I feel like a chef in a winery, a chef serving the dishes, and a shopkeeper, but I am like the servant who is waiting for the customer to finish his meal and wash the basin?"

Pei Xingjian made him amused.

Li Wei was amused and cried and said, "It's really not possible, I'll give you another task."

"Here."

"After the fight, you can see how many enemies there are left. If not, I will leave Mantou City to you."

"Here!" Heichi Changzhi was overjoyed. Until now, in addition to the nine-curve three cities, they were all pulled over and over, and basically built several major cities in Tuyuhun, Hexi, and have not occupied any of them.

"But you can't attack forcefully. This battle cost countless people and many soldiers sacrificed. It was the heaviest battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

"Here!"

Then he sat down and talked with satisfaction, and said, "Your Highness, I see something."

"What's the matter?"

"There are many women among the Tuyuhun people who fled this time."

"General Black-toothed, don't move. Remember it well. It's better for women, young and young to kill, and no other bad things must happen. This is military discipline, after all, we are the king's army."

"Your Highness, you misunderstood me. I mean that many soldiers in our army are from poor families and cannot marry their wives at home. This battle may last for several years. It is better to... let the women in Tuyuhun marry our soldiers when they are willing. They are also willing. After they arrive in Lingzhou, they don't know what the situation is, but in Qinghai, we have started a large number of military farms, with 100 acres of land to cultivate, and there are rewards, and we can have a happy home."

This is clearly just trying to take advantage of the situation and have a big happy home.

But Li Wei was very moved. Why did the Tubo people desperately attack women? With women, they could give birth to children for them. With children, there were many people. Although many men died this time in Tuyuhun, they could have enough food after they arrived in Lingzhou. A man had two or three women and reproduced quickly. Although Nuohe Bo married Tang, who would have a good idea for the future?

After looking at Pei Xingjian, Pei Xingjian said, "I agree too."

His original wife, Lu, died early. Later, he saw a Hu girl, Kudi, in the Western Regions. She looked beautiful and gentle, so she married her. No one knew about her in the Western Regions. After returning, everyone knew that everyone from the court to the family opposed it. However, Kudi gave birth to several children for him, and the real rice was made into mature meals. Even the old patriarch of the Pei family was helpless. (Some people say that it was Pei Xingjian's daughter-in-law, who was talking nonsense and attracted public attention)

The same was true for Xue Rengui back then.

The prince is coming soon.

Or there are few Han people who marry Hu Nu. If there are many, there will be one million people in the world. Five million Han people will come back to marry Hu Nu. How can they oppose it?

Li Wei couldn't speak, he was not clean, and he wanted to object, but he couldn't object. After more than a day, he said, "But we have to discuss with Nuohubo Khan."

"Leave this to me," he said, holding up his big fist.

Did you discuss it with this big fist?

But now there is no hurry, let’s talk about it after the war. Then I received the news from the front, and Lunzanpo began to retreat from Jiuqu. There were several days left in the process. Some herders from Yugu in Dali were moved to Hexi, and then the soldiers of Baigu, otherwise they would be easily attacked by the Tang Dynasty in their abdomen.

Pei Xingjian said, "Your Highness, you can do it."

After this withdrawal, morale became even lower. It was time to take action.

Li Wei called Xin Chengsi and said, "You will immediately lead another 500 cavalry and immediately go to Dangxiang, and bring them a few words. Let me say that after this battle, not only will their original Dangxiang land be, but also will place some places in Jiuqu for them to live in. In the future, Qinghai will be pacified, and it may also be divided into some areas in the Dafei River and Fuluo River and other places for their tribes to live in. Not only that, relying solely on herding will not make the people happy. Moreover, they are semi-nomadic and do not like to chase them with water and grass. Therefore, Gu will also send people to teach them to farm and weave, so that there are cattle and sheep to sheep and crops to harvest, and a happy life will come. But if you want to get it, you have to pay. You have to pay as much as you want."

"Yes." Xin Chengsi responded, led 500 cavalrymen and quietly rushed to Dangxiang.

Li Wei said to Pei Xingjian again: "Since Lun Zan Po is so kind and withdrawing the three cities, should we lead our troops to accept it?"

"It's extreme."

The two looked at each other and laughed, then immediately counted 30,000 Tang troops, and rushed towards Wansu City again.

After hearing this, Lunzan Po heard this, in order to prevent him from coming to Wansu City in person, and he was so bitter that I hadn't left yet, so you were so anxious to come and accept it? But it might not be that there was no good thing. The more places there were to be vacant, the more dispersed the Tang Dynasty's army would be, at least it would be able to protect the people from escaping.

Fortunately, it's only one month. If it's two months or three months, Lunzanpo doesn't know how to deal with it.

Then his humiliation was not over. Li Wei sent someone to pick up a few flagpoles with some women's underwear hanging on them. When Lun Qinling was so embarrassed that Liu Shenli was so embarrassed, Li Wei also moved here today. Then he came to the city wall and shouted: "Lunzan Po, good boy, let you go, go, go, be so good. I will wear you flower clothes."

"Will you eat feces obediently?" As he said that, he brought a few more horse manure, and even soldiers were on the spot, shouting loudly while laughing. It was not Liu Shenli who called Lunzan Po again, and he went out of the city to fight as soon as he was excited. However, shouting like this can further damage the morale of the other party.
