Chapter 197 Before the War
With only two days left for the Spring Festival, the layout of the palace was almost completed.The huge and magnificent Tai Chi Palace is decorated with lights, and the festive red color adds another kind of beauty to the originally solemn place.The people of the palace also put on new clothes, and when they met back and forth, they spoke tirelessly to each other.
In the Northwest Sui Army Camp, this kind of celebration is missing.
The army has been out of the customs for several months. Although it has captured Nirvana City and has promoted the Mandu Banner territory for five hundred miles, this is by no means a cause for celebration. According to the original plan, it should have occupied the Mandu Banner at this time. The environment is right.After all, Mandu Latu has no more than 50,000 troops in his hands. Even with the herdsmen who participated in the war, there is still a big gap in strength compared with the 700,000 Sui soldiers armed to the teeth.
In fact, the original intention of this war was to win the Mengyuan Mandu Banner.
Over two thousand miles of pastureland, there are tens of millions of cattle, hundreds of thousands of herdsmen, if these are won, the record is already brilliant enough.
There is no problem with the plan designated by the Ministry of Defense, but the battle situation just cannot be opened.
After the first battle, after the two thousand fine rides under the wolf of Mandu were almost lost, he returned to Nirvana City with the remaining few hundred cavalry, but how could he be able to hold back with only these few hundred troops?Moreover, Sui ’s army is familiar to the siege as if it recalled something that happened yesterday.Although the most recent war also dates back more than two decades, the soldiers of Da Sui were not a bit jealous of the siege.
A small Nirvana city was struck down with little effort.The Mandu Wolf fled with less than thirty people, but before he left, he poisoned all the animals in the city.Not only in the city of Nirvana, the tribes of Mandu Banner were evacuated in an orderly manner at the beginning of the war, and all the animals that could not be taken were poisoned to death.
The corpses of these animals could not be used by Sui Jun even for making food.
The soldiers were distressed when they saw the dead bodies of the fallen animals that had fallen to the ground.So many cattle and sheep, and even war horses were so poisoned.Those Mengyuan Barbarians also really got their hands. For the Sui Army lacking war horses, failure to reap is a huge loss.
According to the plan, after the raid on Nirvana City, the army would transport the stolen animals back to the east side of the wolf milk, but now, although they stepped on the five hundred-mile grassland of the Mengyuan barbarian under their feet, they felt nothing.
Zheng Xi ’s general manager, Yang Kai, the king of Xujun, has been in a bad mood.
I originally planned to take the seized animals out and kill a number of troops in the New Year's Day. However, what I have robbed from the Mengyuan people can't even feed a soldier!There are no animals. What's the use of these five hundred miles of grassland?
"Yes ..."
The Ministry of Defense Shang Shumou Liangbi hesitated and could not help but persuade: "Although the cattle and sheep horses of the Mengyuan barbarians were not captured as expected, the battle could not be smooth. After all, the army has penetrated five hundred miles, and our logistics supplies Very sufficient. Even if there is not enough cattle and sheep, there will be no shortage of wine and meat. "
Yang Kai sighed: "I feel ashamed of trusting His Majesty."
There are only two of them in the house and Mou Liangbi, so there are many taboos he says without saying: "Although there is enough grain and grass, according to the plan, after taking Nirvana City, the army actually does not need to transfer grain and grass from the gate. Your Majesty hopes It ’s a good news we sent to Changan City, not the situation now! "
Mou Liangbi sighed: "The army is not united, how easy is it to win a victory? Lord, look at the faces of those generals, and then look at the appearances of the governors ... where are they a little bit determined? The enterprising mind clearly wants to force Wang Ye and his subjects to flee back to Chang'an City with sins! "
"You can't say that."
Yang Kai shook his head and said: "The troops did not slacken their advance."
"There is no slack in marching, but many battles that can be easily won are so anxious. How can these people be worthy of His Majesty's trust!"
"I still can't coordinate well."
Yang Kai said sadly: "Your Majesty handed me this errand. If you don't do well, I'm incompetent."
"Why should the lord take all his faults to himself!"
Mou Liangbi said: "I have already written the break, please Your Majesty give the Fang Fang Jianjian to the prince. There is nothing that can hold them, they have no awe at the prince!"
Yang Kai waved his hand and said: "Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there has never been a commander holding his majesty's Shang Fangjian sword to lead the army. If you can rely on your majesty's dignity to control the army, it is the incompetence and shame for the handsome. At that time, I will discuss with the generals that this war can no longer be dragged on. How much is the daily consumption of the 700,000 troops and millions of civilians? Even if my great Sui country is strong, it can be so unprovoked. It ’s a waste, too long to afford. "
At this time, suddenly outside the soldiers shouted loudly: "Right General Xiao Yuanwei Li Yuanshan, General Left Zuowei Jin Shixiong, General Left Zhewei General Pei Huan, General General Right Zhewei General Yu Zhengdong begging to see."
"Please soon!"
Yang Kai got up quickly, and Mou Liangbi stood up with a bitter smile.
The four generals fish in, and then give Yang Kai a gift.Yang Kai quickly stepped forward and needed to help, smiled and said: "I just returned from the account, why, is there any urgent military affairs?"
Among the four generals, the oldest is General Zuo Xiaowei, Jin Shixiong. Da Sui has the most troops stationed in the northwest. The 16 guards have four guards in the northwest.The court's guard against Meng Yuan has never weakened.In this western expedition, the soldiers and horses of the four northwestern guards are also well-deserved main forces.
Jin Shixiong smiled and said: "There is no urgent military service, just come to the lord to ask for saliva, and by the way, how to live the day after tomorrow."
These things have already been said before the account was raised, so Yang Kai knew that the four of them had definitely not heard the ears before they swelled.
He instructed people to serve tea, and then sat down on the coach seat and said, "I don't have any good tea here. Wu Yidao has returned to Chang'an City. I already drank the good tea he brought with me. If you are running This came, it would be disappointing. "
Jin Shixiong and others laughed, and Li Yuanshan laughed: "Why is the prince so stingy, and the humble office does not believe that you really have no inventory left."
Yang Kaidao: "I will take back Chang'an City and show it to others, and the rest will definitely not be taken out."
General Zheng Yudong smiled and said: "In fact, it is not specifically to beg for tea, but I still want to ask the prince. When will you march? When you raise the account, there are some words that are not good for the people below. Going down and waiting for Mengge ’s reinforcements to arrive, it will become more difficult to fight. The men and horses of Mandu Banner are all together, but it is about 60,000 or 70,000. . "
Yang Kai couldn't help but stunned, and he said, why did these people suddenly turn sex?
...
...
There hasn't been a real hard fight in the march for several months, and it's too big to attribute to Meng Yuan.There are 20,000 miles from the Mengyuan gold account to the Mandu flag. When the gold account's reinforcements come together, they will never arrive in a few months.The other flag masters, without the orders of the Great Han Mengge, could not take their troops away from their enclosures at will, which gave the Sui Army an opportunity.
In fact, the reason why Mandu Latu has not waited for reinforcements now is that there is a greater discord with the Mongolian flag masters.For example, the Keqin Banner next to the Mandu Banner, the conflict between the flag owner Keqin Lelang and Mandu Latu has lasted for a long time.Mandu Latu was dissatisfied with his small land and invaded the grassland of Keqin Banner.For this matter, there is no conflict between the two flags, but no one can tear the face and fight.
The Mandu Banner was captured by the Sui Army for at least five hundred miles of pastureland, and Keqin Lelang enjoyed watching the show.Anyway, there are Zulu who are not allowed to take soldiers away from their land, and Dahan Mengge can't really take him.Besides, he did not think that the Sui people could easily win the entire Mandu flag.
Mandu Latu is a famous lunatic, even if the Sui people do not come to fight his idea, he still stubbornly wants to fight the Wolf Rushan, Sui people find their own door, if Mandu Latu is so easy to admonish It's strange.
Mandu Latu is indeed a lunatic, but this lunatic has become sensible this time.The army of Mandu Banner has not confronted Sui Jun, but waited for the arrival of the golden account.Because he knows the truth, once he has put all the people in his hands, then he can't hold the seat of the flag master.Even if he defeated the Sui people like a divine help, Manduqi's strength would be greatly damaged.
And the Mandu Banner is too far away from the golden account. How did he invade the Keqin Lelang guy in Keqin Banner's pasture?Looking for Khan to comment?Not to mention that when the messenger arrived at the gold account, the pasture had long been lost. Even if he arrived there, he would send a person down to reconcile the most. If he wanted Keqin Lelang to spit it out, it would be better than let him become Women are even harder.
Because Mantu Latu knows this, he will avoid it all the time.He was distressed for the lost pastures, and he was even more distressed for the poisoned cattle and sheep, but he couldn't help it anymore. It was better than the entire pastures were not taken by the Sui people, but was taken away by the Keqin Banner.
Mandu Latu is old and he does not want to be a sinner in his family at the end of his life.
However, this does not mean that he does not want to achieve his own reputation.Meng Yuan has been peaceful for too long and lacks a real hero.Moreover, he has been waiting for the opportunity to teach those Sui people a lesson.If the battle is to be fought, what is missing is the best time.
Mandu Latu has two sons, and the eldest son Mandu Yong is pledged in the golden account.This is the traditional rule of the Mongolian Yuan Empire. The eldest sons of all the flag masters must live in the king's court until they inherit the flag master. When they or their brothers inherit the flag master, the new hostages will be sent to the king's court. .
This is an effective means of controlling the prairie. The gold family has never been stingy to raise a butcher's knife against those who do not obey the rule.
The second son of Mandu Latu is called Mandu Teller. Teller means the wind as fast as in Mongolian Yuan language.
He also has a nephew who is very important, that is, Mandu Wolf.
The father of Mandu Wolf, the brother of Mandu Latu, was hostage in Wang Ting, and he was looking forward to returning to the territory to inherit the flag master. Who thought that Mandu Latu poisoned his father and immediately announced the succession of the flag master. The wolf's father was too late when Wang Ting knew the news.
He went to find Khan's theory, so Khan was too lazy to take care of their housework.In fact, the gold family prefers the unevenness between the flags or within each flag. If the flags are all united and strong, the gold family should worry about it.Provoking the contradictions between the flags has always been a good show for the Golden Family.
Mandu Latu leaned on a chair covered with a thick velvet blanket and glanced at his general.
"The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve of the Sui people. For everyone, New Year's Eve is as important as our fast. On this day, they will put down their weapons and dance, drink and eat meat. This is a rare opportunity. So I have been avoiding without fighting, waiting for this day ... I need a brave warrior to lead the children of Manduqi to seek blood debts from the Sui people! All the things they robbed and their own lives are required Take it back! "
"Who is willing to fight this battle among you ?!"
"I!"
Mandu Tulu strode forward and put his palms on his chest and said: "Dear Father, your brave son Mandu Tuluan is willing to take the children to shame! As long as you give the whip to your son, he Will be riding the horse to the forefront! The shameless Sui people have taken our pastures and cattle and sheep, and I will use their blood and head to honor the dead! "
"My son, you make me very happy."
Mandu Latu said: "But you are not enough, you need a strong helper."
"Man wolf!"
He shouted loudly: "Don't you want to retake Nirvana City ?!"
Mandu wolf hand on his chest replied loudly: "I think! I have long wanted to take the mandu flag warriors, riding a horse to trample the body of the Sui people!"
Mandu Latu laughed loudly and spread his hands and said: "Go, my children! The Wolf God will give you infinite strength, and the Ming King will use the Holy Light to brush your body. Let the Sui people celebrate the New Year's Eve, change Be their day of abstinence! "
