Chapter 66 The starting point of the Great Western Expedition!
Chapter 66 The starting point of the Great Expedition of Broken Leaf!
Among the factions within the Uighurs in Lingxi, during the Arslan era, the Asina family secretly had contacts with the Tang army, and the Gesa family, which stood opposite him, had always been on the cusp of anti-Tang. But that was only on the surface, and the Tang army and the Gesa family were not completely unrelated, but at that time, Zhang Mai lies on the Asina family and ignored the Gesa family intentionally or unintentionally.
However, times changed. When the Asina family was expelled from Lingxi by Satuk, the status of the Gesa family in the country became subtle. At about this time, Guo Luo sent people to secretly contact Gesa Qihui through smuggling merchants. Although Satuk had an absolute advantage within the Uighurs in Lingxi, his strength was far from that of the Tiance Tang army among the world. Therefore, when Guo Luo sent people to meet, Gesa Qihui became more and more close to the governor of Ningyuan, and as the situation deteriorated, he became increasingly close to Guo Luo. As the news of Beiting's defeat came, Gesa Qihui almost had the plan to sacrifice the city.
However, this plan is not a decision. After all, although Ge Saqihui is named Yaer's garrison and has a considerable amount of military influence, under Hushagar's nose, it is still dangerous to sacrifice the city, and sacrifice the city also requires a price.
At this time, the person hiding in the darkness was Guo Luo's envoy, He Qiushan's son He Dan.
"The governor will attack the city soon." He Dan said: "The most difficult thing in this Yaer City is to cross the river. Now that the river has passed, the victory and defeat have been decided! The problem that Governor Guo is only solved as soon as possible, and Hu Shagar's plan must be delayed. All the two sides have fought for is only time. So..."
He said half of it but did not say the other half. However, when Gessadanmo and his son talked about their average strategic and tactical skills, they were quite good at political struggles. They immediately understood what He Dan meant - if the time was delayed too long, even if Guo Luo was offered, they would not have paid a high price.
"Mr. He," Gesadanmo had originally revealed his extreme hostility to Han culture in various occasions, but he had been secretly learning from Tang Yan. He had some foundation. After all, as a person who could compete with Ashina Kolunsu, his cultural cultivation was not comparable to ordinary Uighur military men. At this time, tears were filled with tears in his eyes and he said, "After all, we are the prominent family of Uighurs. If Yaer loses, Balashaguen will be in sight, and the Uighurs in the west of the Lingxi will be destroyed. We, we..."
"Okay, okay," He Dan sneered: "Prime Minister Gessa, do we still know how you love your homeland? But even if Yar guards it, can Balashaguon survive alone? Do you think Satuk's troops in the north can withstand the marshal's army swept from the east?"
Gesandam's rebellion hesitated. When Satuk invaded the east, he was the first staff member to fight in the east. Of course, Satuk just raised him high, but actually brought him by his side to restrain his son, and did not give this power and trust that matched the status. Even so, Gesandam still followed Satuk to see the terror of the Tang army in Beiluntai City! The car formation, the silver spear, and the rapidity of the stone pulling back to the rescue all brought him great shock! It was precisely because he experienced the incident that he realized that even if Satuk gathered the remaining troops of the Uighurs in the west of the Ridge, he would probably not be able to withstand Zhang Mai's attack!
Therefore, He Dan's words were extremely persuasive at this time.
Ge Saqihui followed Nai's father's advice and pondered, but did not speak.
He Dan also said: "The current problem is no longer whether the Uighurs in Lingxi are destroyed, but whether our Tang army will arrive at the city first or the Southern army will arrive at the city first. If the Northern Army first pacified Balashaguon, then our Governor Guo's contribution in this matter will be greatly reduced. At that time, even if he wanted to ask for any reward for you, he would not be able to speak loudly."
He clasped Guo Luo to compete for credit, but it sounded extremely credible to Gesandam and his son.
Ge Saqihui finally couldn't help but feel a little angry and said, "If we are in the city now, what kind of courtesy can Governor Guo give us?"
The muscles under Gesadan's neck twitched slightly, and it was difficult to find out, but it showed his dissatisfaction with his son's words too early.
He Dan smiled and said, "So what do you hope for by a fair father and son?"
Gesaqihui looked at Gesadanmo, and Gesadanmo said, "Although our clan comes from the north of Mo, he enters the Broken Leaf through Beiting. These two are the hometowns of our Gesa family. If we can maintain a piece of land between Beiting and Broken Leaf..."
"It is impossible to crack the soil." He Dan said lightly: "I have never had such an example since the establishment of the account. Besides, the contributions of Xian and his son are not enough to make an exception - if Xian and his son borrowed a way to attack Balashaguon for our governor in the time when the victory or defeat of Beiting was not decided, thus leading to the great victory of Beiting, then this is possible, but now... in my He Dan's view, it is already a blessing to be able to protect the net worth."
He didn't continue because he had already said the previous words clearly: Now you just thought about selling the country. It's past, but it's actually not much money.
Seeing that the Gesa family's face became a little hesitant, He Dan said again: "However, Luofu in Kucha, their family has not yet been able to break the territory, but they are living a good life now. The abilities of the virtuous father and son are similar to those of Luofu, and their knowledge is not far away. This can be considered."
Luo Fu, Gesadanmo, had heard that he was indeed doing well in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but that was what Luo Fu surrendered to the Tang army and relied on his own ability, not the conditions that he had made before surrendering.
Geza and his son looked at each other, hesitating for a while.
He Dan seemed to see the hesitation of the two, and said, "Intellect, father and son, you have not fought with our Tiance Tang Army for a day or two, and you should have an understanding of the situation inside us. Our army has always been capable and those who cannot be inferior. If you want to rely on relationships to maintain wealth and honor, it cannot be long-term. If you don't say anything else, just look at the Cao family? Let me let me say something privately, I think that since you are interested in joining our Tiance Tang Army, what you should strive for is not much land, how much money, but how much trust! If you can get the trust of the marshal and the governor, you will not worry about wealth and honor in the future! You must be noisy now. However, if the two continue to hesitate and have a good opportunity, I will tell the truth. Governor Guo has not given me much time!"
Suddenly, when he heard a thump outside, Ge Sa and his son were surprised. Ge Sa Qihui said, "I'll go and see!" He turned around and went out. After a long time, he came back with sweat and said, "Tang army... began to attack the city! The stone cannon hit the nearby area just now. I just went out and saw half of the sky howling the wind was all the sound of the wind."
He Dan said: "It seems that the governor has begun to lose confidence in He. Alas, if you two still refuse to make a decision, He will say goodbye."
Ge Saqihui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait...forget! Just listen to you!"
He Dan was secretly happy, so he wrote a letter. Under Ge Saqihui's arrangement, he went to the southeast city wall and tied the letter to the arrow shaft to shoot it out. There was a spy outside the city that had already agreed to pick it up and turned it into Guo Luo's hands layer by layer. Guo Luo opened it and handed it to Wen Yanhai, saying, "I am going to capture the city in the third update tonight."
Wen Yanhaidao: "It's not a trick."
Guo Luo said: "This is a document written in reversed words, and He Dan will not betray us. As for Geza and his son, they are smart people, and under the current situation, there will be no loyal people who follow Satuk to hell. Tonight, they will enter through the east gate, but relax the northwest."
Wen Yanhaiqi said: "Relax the northwest? Why is this?"
"I want to let Hushagar go." Guo Luo said: "I just want Yaer City, and I don't plan to take Hushagar's life."
Wen Yanhai never knew that Guo Luo had such a plan, so he hurriedly said, "Hu Shagar is also a general. Even if he escapes, he will let the tiger go back to the mountain."
At this moment, someone brought an urgent report to enter. Guo Luo opened it and smiled and said, "Anwu has obtained the Yingtang Fort (i.e., destroying Tangcheng)." Wen Yanhai was happy. They all knew the location of the Yingtang Fort. Although the fort was very small, the mountain road between Chongtian Fort and Yingtang Fort has formed a passable road after the continuous trampling of merchants in recent years. Taking this road, the Tang army can enter and exit the Talas area from Chongtian Fort. Talas and Julan City will be under the threat of the Tang army at any time, and Melki's role has been lost.
After learning the news, Guo Luo's confidence increased even more and said, "It is indeed not necessary to let the tiger return to the mountain. However, if a tiger suffers twice in a row under the same hunter, it will become scared from the bottom of his heart when he sees this hunter again. If Hu Shagar can rise again in a row and suffers two defeats, then he will be a hero who is unparalleled. If this is the case, then I will admit it."
Seeing that Guo Luo was sure of victory, Wen Yanhai did not dare to disobey. He led the troops that night and quietly rushed to the east gate. Although Ge Saqihui's power was greatly reduced under the suppression of Hu Shagar, the centipede's insect died without being stiff. After all, he was the main general of this defense zone. Most of the East Gate was his old subordinate. That night, he quietly opened the city gate to welcome Wen Yanhai into the city.
Wen Yanhai commanded three thousand cavalrymen and rushed in as soon as he got the city gate! With such a powerful impact, even if Ge Sa Qihui had any tricks, he would probably be broken. After Wen Yanhai obtained the city gate, the 20,000 infantry and cavalry ambushed behind him poured in! For a moment, the noise and the sound of killing shocked the sky!
Hu Shagar was walking in the mansion, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him. He suddenly heard the chaos outside and said in shock: "What's going on?"
A soldier covered in blood rushed in and shouted: "Geza...Geza Qihui led Tang Kou into the city! They entered through the east gate! Now they are approaching the center of the city!"
Hushagar was shocked and furious, shouting: "This dog thief who looked back!"
When they climbed upstairs and watched, the Tang army lit a torch to attack at night. Hu Shagar saw a fire dragon swimming in from the east gate, winding towards him, and coming so fast!
The defenders in Yaer City were not enough, so many were divided into guards of the city walls and gates. How many were still patrolling the city? How many were able to be dispatched manually? What's more, many soldiers were still sleeping! Therefore, wherever the fire dragon went, it felt like it was in a state of no one!
After all, Hu Shagar is a member of Lao Yu's army. After only a few glances, he knew that Yaer was finished! What kind of resistance and what kind of fight to the death is bullshit at this time! Guo Luo is so powerful outside the city, but now the city gate is lost, but there is no hope?
He made a quick decision and immediately started all the troops that could still be mobilized, opened the north gate and rushed out, and fled to Melki.
On the northwest road, Guo Luo just ordered the interception. Although he did not block him, he also drove Hushagar all the way to the vicinity of Mörki. This rushed Hushagar threw away his armor and didn't even have time to drink water and pee along the way. When he arrived at Mörki, he was so anxious! Thinking of his situation in Yaer City, Wen Yanhai had arrived almost the moment he led his troops to escape from the north gate. When he thought of the thrilling place, he couldn't help but feel afraid and cold sweat oozed out of his back.
Guo Luo calmly entered the city on the other side of Yaer. After pulling out Yaer, the road from Ningyuan to Balashaguon was unobstructed.
All the generals came to congratulate him, and Guo Luo smiled and said, "This is nothing compared to the Battle of Beiting. The bigger war has just begun. Don't slack off, be prepared to continue to make achievements."
Wen Yanhai and others said: "I hope to follow the governor to flatten Balashaguen and take back Suiye Town!"
When it comes to taking back Suiye Town, Guo Luo couldn't help but tremble. Suiye River, the towering tree of Tiance Tang Dynasty, the original seed was the buds that sprouted beside Suiye River. The foundation of Tiance Army is the veterans in Lingxi, and the core of Lingxi veterans is the Xinxuye City Division. For all Lingxi veterans, it is the hometown of birth and nurturing!
It was still dark at this time, and the bright moon in the sky seemed particularly bright. It made people think of Li Bai's popular quiet night thoughts. Isn't the broken leaves also Li Bai's hometown?
"The new scattered Ye City is the Wuyuan of our Tiance Tang army, and the old scattered Ye City is the Wenyuan of our Tang Dynasty poetic immortals, and they must be retrieved!" Guo Luo said.
The old Suoye City is located near Balashaguen! I don’t know how many Chinese place names have changed their Hu language place names because they fell into the Hu barbarians. In the minds of the descendants of the four towns of Anxi, the descendants of the Chinese should take it as their responsibility to restore the true face of these places!
"However," Guo Luo said: "Even if you want to turn the old scattered Ye City is not my goal. It is just a place where we meet with the marshal, but just a starting point for us!"
Everyone was a little surprised, Wen Yanhai asked, "Governor, then we want to..."
