    Chapter 89 Giving Gifts When Li Longji left Lingzhou, the Blood Camp finally made the final arrangements.  Thirty thousand soldiers taken from the captives of the Tang Dynasty were cut in half.  Half of it was divided into Jishi Mountain. Anyway, it couldn't be allocated to a place close to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, if you just wanted to be a deserter, why would you talk about fighting?  In addition, eight thousand soldiers from the Blood Battalion, led by Xiao Xue, guarded Jishi Mountain to prevent the Tibetans from going north.  Although the combat effectiveness of these 15,000 Tang soldiers is very problematic, they can stick to the level and the problem is not big.  Moreover, the current Tang soldiers are not like the later Song soldiers, who are useless.  The combat effectiveness is still considerable.  Xiao Song and Ge Shuhan also brought 10,000 blood battalion soldiers to continue to cooperate with Guo Yuanzhen.  Wang Hua specially wrote a letter to Guo Yuanzhen, "Don't be fooled by thinking about how big or small they are. It's better for them to just lead the 10,000 troops of the Blood Camp to cooperate with you."  Your own soldiers will lead the way.  This is the advantage of knowing the general and knowing the general.  The two people have good talents, but they have never been in contact with each other before, no one understands them, and they have to end the battle in a short time, which is very difficult.  Moreover, this is the third time that the Tang Dynasty has issued an imperial edict urging Guo Yuanzhen to stop attacking Dafeichuan.  Xue Ne was still a little scared in Youzhou, and his family was still in Chang'an City.  Because Guo Yuanzhen had been in the Western Regions for a long time, his family had already taken him over, and there was a blood camp in between, so he had a lot less worries.  When I saw the first imperial edict, I almost screamed ****.  However, it is still different in nature from Wang Hua. It narrates the significance of accepting Dafeichuan.  This is of great significance. From Jishi Mountain to Dafeichuan, many Dangxiang people and Tyuhun people lived, and it was the main source of Tibetan taxation and military service.  As long as these two places are taken down, Tubo's national power will be reduced by at least one-third.  Of course, when Xue Rengui defeated Dafeichuan, he mainly underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Now, unlike Xue Rengui, Jishi Mountain has been owned by the Blood Camp. Unlike Xue Rengui's time, Lun Qinling was immediately found from other places in Dafeichuan and Jishi Mountain.  A large number of reinforcements, coupled with the troops he brought from Tubo, formed a superior army of 400,000.  Jishi Mountain has been assigned to the Blood Camp, and now we have the Dafeichuan River. We only need to guard a few crossings leading to the south to ensure that the Dafeichuan River is not lost.  The Dafeichuan River is not lost, and the Hexi Outer Route and the four towns in the Western Regions are likely to remain stable forever.  Not only that, it also opened up territory for the imperial court. At the same time, with the Dafeichuan, Tubo lost an important Mayuan base, but the Tang Dynasty gained the most important Mayuan base.  After writing the echo, he didn't accept the second and third imperial edicts from the imperial court at all. He looked for someone. When he arrived at a certain mountain, the poor eunuch who issued the edict asked which mountain it was. He pointed at it, and the eunuch followed his finger.  Looking in the direction, my God, it¡¯s already June and the top of the mountain is still completely white.  No wonder Wang Hua used snow to kill tens of thousands of people in Tubo alive.  No one could be found. How could this order be issued? The imperial envoy had to wait for Guo Yuanzhen to come back.  Where to wait.  There was an eunuch named Lin De in the third batch of imperial envoys, who was a die-hard loyalist of Webster. He immediately saw the fishiness in it. He did not believe in evil and thought he was in good health, so he forced the soldiers to take him to find Guo Yuanzhen.  In fact, thanks to Wang Hua, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty army was very afraid of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Firstly, it was cold, and secondly, there was miasma everywhere.  Wang Hua explained that it was not miasma, but lack of oxygen on the plateau.  Many people still don¡¯t know the principle, but they know that if you want to fight on the plateau, you must first be in good health, secondly, you must adapt to the weather and climate of the plateau for a period of time, and thirdly, you can supplement it with medicinal materials such as Rhodiola rosea.  So Lin Dezi didn't believe in evil, and a few soldiers actually led him into the mountains to wander around. After wandering for a while, Lin De quit. What's the matter? Now in early June, even Dafeichuan has begun to get hot, and he only wore one piece.  I ran to the mountains in my single clothes.  Then we walked towards these high mountains for a while, sometimes there was frost in June, and sometimes there was snow in June.  I used to think that I had heard stories, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and because there is little water, people eat ice and horses eat snow. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We are so accustomed to the pampering in the palace, how can we adapt to such bad weather?  ¡° Even though we knew the soldiers were playing tricks, we couldn¡¯t climb up. It was a long way to go to the top of the mountain. The top was covered with snow. Is Guo Yuanzhen really on top?  Is he having enough to hold on?  But he didn't have the ability to climb up and expose this lie.  Just climb up, so what, say that General Manager Guo is not here, maybe he went to another place and strangled the soldiers to death.  But Guo Yuanzhen also urged Wang Hua.  We don¡¯t want to play like this anymore. The court has forced me to have no choice. I want to withdraw my troops.  Wang Hua was very depressed after hearing this, **, should I make contributions, or should you make contributions?  You must know that this may be a major event that will make Guo Yuanzhen famous in history.  But this old fox is very cunning and he got it right. Now Wang Hua also wants him to kill him quickly, so he comes to "threaten" Wang Hua.  Wang Hua had no choice but to support a large amount of materials free of charge.  This also made Guo Yuanzhen feel at ease. Regardless of the occupation, he still had to defend it.??.  There is no need to worry about food. The Western Region can be self-sufficient. If it is a little lacking, it is not a blood camp. It is lacking too much.  I believe the imperial court will not be embarrassed by this.  There is no need to worry about the war horses. On the contrary, a large number of war horses will be donated to the court.  The main thing is weapons. They are afraid that the woman in the palace will break their weapons.  As long as Wang Hua understands, does not interrupt the supply of weapons, and sometimes even sends some reinforcements in time, he will dare to confront the Tubo people.  In fact, Wang Hua has nothing to do with this veteran ruffian now. He is still the one who wrote "He Yan Zhongdao has been abandoned and is drifting beside the ancient prison. Although it is useless to be buried in the dust, it can still rise to the sky every night ("The Sword")  "The last two sentences of "The Great Wall")", write "The dust flies outside the Great Wall, and the martial power has been shown for many years. Life and death follow the jade sword, and I work hard to Jin Wei" (the first two sentences of "The Great Wall"), write "The autumn wind is blowing and the moon is flying, flying by."  When Gao Wu was in the shadow.  General Guo, who doesn't teach others of his kind in the dark and strives to be known in the world ("Firefly"), is a suave and arrogant general?  It seems that you can¡¯t judge people by their appearance, nor can you judge them by their poetry.  But Guo Yuanzhen hit his weak point. Not only did he provide weapons, he also sent another general, Lun Gongren.  At that time, Tuyuhun was almost the one who wiped out the Lun family, and he was extremely familiar with Tuyuhun and Lun Gongren.  Another point is that Lun Gongren has no conflict in his heart when dealing with the Tuyuhun people, not the Tubo people.  Even if there was conflict, it is gone now. Wang Hua treats each other with the courtesy of a national scholar. How dare he not serve Wang Hua?  Ge Shuhan and Xiao Song are attacking an important city in Tuyuhun, Mantou City.  But Gongren did not talk about how to capture Mantou City, but talked about some situations in Tuyuhun.  "General Geshu, General Xiao, what does Tuyuhun produce?" "War horses," the two said in unison.  In particular, Datong horses and Hequ horses are used for breeding. Qinghai Lake is frozen every year, and the horses are placed on a hill in Qinghai Lake without anyone to manage them. The horses are allowed to get pregnant in the following spring. The mare will give birth to the famous "Dragon".  "seed", but it was very difficult to match. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty occupied Tuyuhun, but he did not find this dragon stallion.  Later, the Tuyuhun people introduced the big food horse, and the Qinghai Cong, which was bred on the basis of the dragon stallion, was worth several thousand guan each.  It is this kind of Qinghai Cong that is crossed by the King of Elephants. Not only does the horse have good physical strength and speed, it is also very intelligent and understands human nature.  But Gongren did not talk about the dragon stallion and Qinghai Cong, but instead talked about another kind of horse: "Yes, it is a horse. The number of dragon stallion and Qinghai Cong is very small, but there are many excellent Hequ horses, and there is also a kind of war horse."  , which is what you Tang people call Shu horses, but it is not the short horse that came to Shu, but it was produced in Tuyuhun. Don't underestimate this kind of horse. This kind of war horse is hardworking and good at walking in the mountains.  If the camp governor one day becomes interested in the south, this kind of horse is a must-have war horse. In addition to horses, there are also a large number of livestock, but two of them are the most important. The first is camels. If General Guo becomes interested in those small countries in the west.  Interest, this kind of livestock is more useful than war horses. The second is the yak. ??If you go south and there are more mountains, the yak will be of great use. "In fact, this information is said by Gong Ren.  It was very important, but Xiao Song and the others hadn't heard it yet. Anyway, Mantoucheng wouldn't be able to attack it for a while, so they listened to his deception.  "Then there are people. In the early days, Tuyuhun did not impose taxes, but only collected part of it from wealthy merchants, plus the royal family's property, to maintain its power. During the war, all the people were soldiers. Later, it was suppressed between two powerful countries and began to decline.  But why did the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fail in their fight for Tuyuhun? The first was geographical factors. The soldiers from the Central Plains were very uncomfortable coming here. The second was their contempt for Tuyuhun. Later, they saw that Tubo used Tuyuhun as a springboard to repeatedly invade the border, and it was too late to regret it.  Third, they are related by blood, and it is relatively easy to get closer. Fourth, although they both married princesses, the Tang Dynasty made mistakes in supporting them.  The taxes levied were too heavy, especially during the crisis in the past few years, but I didn't expect that the imperial court would not seize the opportunity, but Xueying seized the opportunity. There is another factor, the Bailan tribe, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to defeat Tuyuhun many times.  , and then they retreated to the Bailan tribe. The mountains were higher, more dangerous and colder, and the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to sort out the Tubo troops from high to low. This was also an important reason. " Hearing this, Xiao Song and Ge Shuhan.  It has been vaguely grasped.  "And the Tuyuhun people are good at building cities and bridges. Just like Xiqiang City (on the west side of Xiqing Mountain) occupied by our blood camp, there are also Cihe City and Nihe City (west of Lintan) in the Cihe area, the most important agricultural production area of ??the Tuyuhun people.  ), the original summer palace, Maqu City, as well as Minghe, Zhennian, Sanzu City (all in Lintan), and Dangyi City (Min County) where the summer palace was located in the Tang Dynasty.  Mantou City, Wangdu Fuqi City, Laowangdu Shudun City and Hezhen City are the four most important cities in Tuyuhun. In addition to the Dafeichuan area, there are also Tuyuhun City and Wuhai City  At the same time, the technology of man-made bridges in Tuyuhun is very advanced. For example, the 150-step-long Heli Bridge on the Yellow River in Hezhou is built of wood and stone. It has not collapsed for hundreds of years from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the present. This bridge was built by the Tuyuhun people.  " Xiao Song thought for a while and said: "General, I understand what you mean. If we attack Tuyuhun, the method we are using now is wrong. It is the same as the nature of General Li Jing's attack on Tuyuhun decades ago.  Tuyuhun had an advantageous location because of its large number of cities.  If the enemy is strong, you can also use the city to slow down the enemy, and then use the large number of hard-working ponies and yaks in the territory to drag supplies. At the same time, because of the advanced bridge-building technology, there are stone bridges on various rivers.  You can quickly evacuate to the Bailan Department who is friendly with them.  However, because the opponent was not familiar with the terrain, was attacked by the city, and the roads were muddy, even if they knew about it, they would not be able to catch up even if they wanted to.  If Tuyuhun's vitality is still there, and with the help of Tubo, even if it is occupied, it will be very difficult to hold on in the future, and it will be easy for them to counterattack.  "Yes, actually we don't need to attack these tall city walls like this. We only need to send a powerful army to go around to the south, block the rear of Fuqi City and Tuyuhun City, cut off Tuyuhun's way, and cut off Tuyuhun."  human thoughts.  If people are sent to appease the surrender, the overall situation of Tuyuhun can be decided.  " Brother Shuhan and Xiao Song looked at each other and said, "It's done.  " They said that if they could not do it, they would have to consult with Guo Yuanzhen. The strategy that Lun Gongren came to propose this time finally sounded the clarion call for Tuyuhun to return to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua did not expect that Lun Gongren would be transferred to Tuyuhun.  Wonderful achievement. He began to mobilize again. Because Xue Na's army was advancing westward, he had to station 15,000 troops in Dongshou Jiangcheng and Shengzhou. This was a very interesting arrangement.  At least that's how it seems to outsiders. Regardless of the relationship between Xue Na and Xue Song, both Kong Heizi and Gongsun Yun served as generals under Xue Na. When it came to their relationship, Kong Heizi was still Xue Na's junior brother. The more he wanted to make it clear,  Wang Huayue made Xue Ne confused. This made a man breathe a sigh of relief. After drinking the river water for more than twenty days, the Blood Camp finally asked him to lead the army to surrender after Moju surrendered for the eleventh time.  Then they rebuilt the Dongshou surrender city. Of course, because Mo Chuo's movements were unknown, he asked Feng Changqing, who had excelled in defense in both battles, to lead 15,000 prisoners of war and 5,000 elite troops to station in Fengzhou and Zhong.  This is also a reasonable arrangement in the Shoujiang City area. Although the troops are a little weak, there are city walls to defend. Moreover, after Feng Changqing arrived in Fengzhou, he renovated various cities and set up some checkpoints and fortresses in Yinshan.  At the same time, ships were sent to patrol the river. It was impossible to attack. After arranging this group of troops, the next step was to attack. Wu Keli and Li Kailuo led 4,000 troops and 6,000 troops respectively to conquer Sui.  Guo Qianguan, Zhang Shougui, and Wang Jun each led an army of 6,000 to conquer the three states of Jinglong and Qing.  The main thing is to plunder the city. When encountering a tall city wall and a fierce counterattack by the garrisoned soldiers, you must immediately bypass the important checkpoints. Then occupy the important villages and towns one by one, forming a situation where the countryside surrounds the city.  Just started the second step, encouraging the people to go to the four northern states where the people are empty. The farther north it gets, the colder it gets, and the Turks often go south. Although the Blood Camp has all kinds of favorable conditions, it is not welcomed in the hearts of the people.  It is also a confidence. For most people, they are still very moved, but for a few poor people, the next step is food. The excess food will be cleared away, but unlike the Turks, the blood camp forcibly takes this food.  They will be suppressed, but they will be paid according to the market price. Next, if the soldiers in the city go out to fight, it will be fine. The main force is in the south, led by Guo Zhiyun and Zhang Xiaosong.  Two thousand troops, 10,000 militiamen, and 18,000 prisoners of war from Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Qiang people attacked Wei and Minzhou from Linzhou and went straight to Qinzhou. Wang Junchuo and Liu Tong led 9,000 troops.  Together with 13,000 prisoners of war, they set out from Dietao Prefecture to attack Danzhou, Wuzhou, and finally Chengzhou. Then the two armies merged, leaving part of the army to defend the city, and the main force went straight to Hanzhong.  If you are serious about it, although you know that the arrival of the Blood Camp is different from the arrival of the Tubo people, once the war starts, the swords and arrows will be ruthless. God knows where the horse will run and where the arrow will fly.  Li Longji came all the way east, and along the way he saw countless people carrying their children and luggage, crying and making trouble, heading east to escape the scourge of war.  But this gave Li Longji a help.He was also nervous all the way to the west, even though Li Dan prepared all the relevant documents for him.  But once someone discovers that he went to Lingzhou, it will be a big deal.  But now there are crowds of people everywhere. Not to mention that he is a prince in disguise, even if he is a prince in disguise, no one cares when he gets here.  Looking at this chaotic situation, Li Longji couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that Wang Hua and he were playing tricks on each other, and that he really wanted to rebel this time?  But a ridiculous farce happened on the other side.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Zong Chuke and Liu Jingren didn't run away anymore, they were detained and tortured until now, and they ran all the way, and their physical strength couldn't keep up.  ¡°In addition, when they stopped, they had to deal with one thing. It would be difficult to explain this time back.  The army of 200,000 people was forced to dispatch some of the troops, and the army of 200,000 people was finished.  Even if the emperor ordered to behead the three of them, there would be nothing to say.  We have to discuss what kind of excuse we can find to push this matter away from the court.  At the same time, he also quietly wrote to Webster, asking her to put in a good word for the three of them.  Zhang said he looked at the three people coldly and said nothing.  Ride away immediately.  Xue Sijian looked at his back and sneered: "What an air, I just went to Lingzhou and slapped Wang Huama on the butt, but he still hasn't finished the court's errands." Liu Jingren wanted to be more honest, he sighed and said: "  General Xue, just don¡¯t say anything. This time Wang Hua released us. It¡¯s possible that Zhang Shuo said some good things in the middle.¡± In one sentence, I remembered Zong Chuke, Zhang Shuo said good things, and Wang Hua said something good.  Just release yourself?  Ghost letter?  But why did Wang Hua release the three of himself?  He was a little confused. As he was thinking about it, he was about to enter the city. But at the gate of the city, two people stopped them. One of them asked: "Your Excellency, are you the Minister of Zong?" It took a long time to call him Minister of Zong Chu.  He had never heard this title before, and said happily: "Exactly, who are you?" "We are bringing things for others." As he said that, he opened a gift box from his arms, which contained 50,000 yuan of flying tickets.  , and then opened the car behind him. There were many rare corals and some gems in the car.  Under the sunlight, it immediately releases its dazzling brilliance.  This made the people at the city gate gather around curiously. Even the soldiers guarding the city drooled when they looked at the contents of this small car.  The man said again: "This is what Wang Hua's subordinate in the Blood Camp asked Xiao to give to Zong Shangshu. This period of time shocked Zong Shangshu. But everything is in the past, and everyone's previous grievances will not be remembered. This money  The things in this car are for Zong Shangshu." As he said this, the man gave a big gift, put the gift box on the car with another companion, and walked away.  Give me a gift?  Zong Chuke and the three others were still in a daze. When they woke up and looked for someone else, they didn't know where they were.  The soldiers guarding the city were moved at first when they saw these properties.  But I heard that someone came to talk about Zong Shangshu. Is there another Zong Shangshu in the world?  He raised his head and immediately recognized the three of them and saluted each one.  A team leader said: "Zong Shangshu, there are too many people at the city gate now, let the young men help you escort." The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, but Zong Chuke made a big mistake this time, and he has the queen's hood.  If you keep it, there won't be much of a problem.  Now remember yourself, as long as you push your mouth, you won't be able to go up immediately.  "Escort, what the hell," can I have this gift?  Wang Hua took the money as money, just to make a fool of himself.  Is it possible to give a gift like this?  How many people at the city gate heard it just now?  Once the incident was reported to the court, the queen would definitely think that she had made some kind of agreement with Wang Hua to make Wang Hua release her.  In fact, it¡¯s easy to handle. You just need to hand it in.  But he was originally a man who loved money. Not to mention the 50,000 yuan, even this small car gift could not be obtained without 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.  "One hundred thousand coins, if strung together into copper coins and counted one by one, would be endless in a lifetime."  Are you willing to hand it over?  He was in trouble, but he forgot about another owner who loved money. Xue Sijian looked at the gift, his eyes also shone, and he looked at Zong Chuke eagerly.  I thought to myself, you don¡¯t know how to eat alone.  But he was embarrassed to speak, after all, they made it very clear and only named Zong Chuke.  Zong Chuke¡¯s head was spinning very fast. No matter how he dealt with it, leaving it at the gate of the city was not the solution.  With a big wave of his hand: "Send it to the city for me." Put it in his mansion in Chang'an first, and then deal with it.  But seeing Zong Chuke walking into the city without telling how the money would be distributed, Xue Sijian's face finally turned cold.    []
