10. Moudi on the war horse
At this time, when the Western Fan envoy Wei Zannuo and Niang Xia Mi came to the Tang army tent in Wuquan, Lanzhou, he also saw that the Tang army was preparing for war and had no intention of stopping the war. He took the initiative to ask Gao Yue to talk directly.
Because Gao Yue is now the chief commander of the Imperial Camp army, the deputy marshal (Master-Master Pu Wang Zheng continues to play polo in Bailicheng), the ambassador of the Helong Xuanwei, and the envoy of the Dingwu Yining Army. In Helong, he is the representative of the Tang family in Helong, and neither Wei Gao nor Ximen Can compare with him.
In front of the tent where the soldiers carried weapons, Wei Zannuo and Niang Xia Mi stood for a long time before they received Gao Yue.
Ji Gong said very rudely: "You two can go directly to Chang'an City and talk to the court."
The two Western envoys could only accompany them to smile and said, "Please please forgive me first."
Gao Yue was very unhappy: "Before I, Tang, sent troops to Helong, I had invited you to Fengxiang's Xifan envoy, and said that I could talk to me first, but the reply I got was that I did not talk to me, and I had to go to Weishui Bridge to talk to me Emperor Tang. Why did I get rogues after repeated rogues?"
"After the messenger was guilty, we asked Zanpu to punish him severely."
"What are you talking about with this Tao? This Tao is now thousands of miles away from Chang'an. If I talk to you, the emperor issued an order at Chang'an residence, which is very different from this Tao. Wouldn't it be a serious crime to be taken into account?"
The two envoys of Xifan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just want Duke Ji not to attack Zhenghuang for the time being. The new Muni Zanpu is willing to enthrone the Tang Dynasty. The two families use Hehuang as the boundary to stop the troops and truce the war and make good for generations. As for the four prefectures of Liang, Gan, Gua and Su in Hexi, please allow Duke Ji to take it. In addition, Duke Ji comes forward, hoping that the Tang Dynasty can surrender the princess to Muni Zanpu."
Gao Yue sneered: "Hehuang is the fundamental place where the Qinghai Tuyuhun enters and leaves Helong. My Tang Dynasty and Xifan experienced hundreds of bloody battles, and hundreds of thousands of children were killed and injured. He had just obtained the Jiuqu land of Hehuang. After you, Xifan, you took advantage of the civil strife in our Tang Dynasty and secretly occupied it. Now our army is in a strong position. Not to mention taking Hehuang, even if you say you can take it, you can get it. Why not overestimate your ability?"
So the two envoys hurriedly increased their weight: "If Ji Gong is willing to keep Hehuang territory and not attack, Zanpu is willing to accept any other conditions."
But Gao Yue turned a deaf ear. He just said to the envoy: "My Tang hates the Xiji Jie Alliance in Huizhou the most. I hope to kill the head of the culprit of this Jie Alliance to offer it. I Tang will not attack Zhengzhou."
This made Wei Zannuo and Niang Xia Mi very embarrassed, so she explained to Gao Yue: "The main culprit of the Xijijiejia Alliance is Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying. These two people are now in Hexi, and Zanpu cannot behead him to apologize."
"Since Munizanpu and Shangjiezan are unable to punish Ma Chongying, what are you talking about here?" Gao Yue waved his sleeves and wanted to see the guests off. A group of young men and women held the two envoys, who shouted that Ji Gong should not treat us like this.
"Send two envoys out of Lanzhou to go east and go to Chang'an City to talk." Gao Yue stood in the middle of the tabernacle and pointed at Wei Zannuo and Niang Xia Mi.
When these two unlucky messengers were forcibly sent out and pushed onto their mounts, drums sounded and smoke flew across the mountains of Wuquan, Gaolan, and Jincheng. The cavalry of the Tang army gathered in the plains in front of Jincheng Pass:
Dingwu Army, Yining Army has a total of six battalions of cavalry;
The Fengyi Army had two battalions of cavalry;
Shencewei Rong and Xuanwei Army also drew out 1,000 cavalry each;
Shatuo cavalry was 1,500, and Tuyuhun cavalry was 1,200;
There were also 1,500 Qiang cavalry from the Baoyi Army.
At this time, Gao Chongwen brought 10,000 Shenfa decisive army to Gaolan Mountain from Huining. He ordered the two thousand cavalry to be drawn out and handed over to Luo Yuanguang to accept Gao Yue's deployment.
In fact, Gao Yue's military rations can only last for less than two months. This time he called all the cavalry, about 15,000, as well as Hao Yan, Tixitan, and Langxi, Xiong Qi Yi soldiers who had been following him, carried ten days of food, did not make any peaceful negotiations with Xiongfan, and rushed to Shanzhou.
In order to coordinate the relationship between various cavalrymen, Gao Yue was still in charge of the supervision this time.
When Gao Yue rode a white horse, Dalixue, and appeared in front of thousands of cavalry formations, the joy resounded through the Yellow River. Gao Yue rode his horse. Instead of coming to the cavalry of the Dingwu Army, he came directly to the cavalry of the Shencewei Rong Army, pointed at their flags, and spoke without saying a word, then drove the horses and went there again.
At this moment, Zhang Yufei, Liu Guoguang, Shi Fu and others, who were powerful in the cavalry of the Rong Army, were all thrust into their blood and shouted with their subordinates.
For no other reason, Ji Gong pointed to the battle flag with the words "The Back of the Vestibule of the Western Regions" written there, which means "You are called the Weirong Army now, don't forget that your predecessor was the glorious Anxi camp. This time, as long as you regain Hehuang Shanzhou, your feat of returning to Anxi will be realized!"
"Our feat is supreme and glorious!" At this time, the Weirong Army, especially the gray-haired veterans, were all filled with tears, and decided that even if they died, they would die in battle on the road to Anxi, and would never retreat or look back.
The cavalry office of the Dingwu Army, Cai Fengyuan, specially held the Pixiu battle flag in his hand, was also very excited and shouted back and forth: "After passing Hehuang, it will be Gua, Gansu, and then Shazhou. When we arrive in Shazhou, it will be Anxi. Our Dingwu Army will fight to Anxi..."
At the same time, at Pipa Mountain in the southern border of Liangzhou, Shang Jiezan, who was ordered by Gao Yue but had a dark ghost, Ma Chongying, after receiving 15,000 prisoners of war sent by Gao Yue, realized that his strength had grown a lot, and he had even more unfair intentions. They asked their mother Ding'Ezeng to place the group of prisoners in Liangzhou, planned the land and ranch for them, and did not allow them to return to the plateau. Then the two of them ignited 5,000 cavalry and passed through the Qiankou in a mighty manner, claiming to join the Tang army's campaign to conquer Shanzhou.
As a result, at the foot of Pipa Mountain, Wei Gao and 7,000 Fengyi Army were arranged in an array, blocking Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying.
Wei Gao asked: "To show sincerity, please send Prince Moudi to you."
Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying were both shocked and angry.
It turned out that Yuan Tongzhi had secretly suggested to Gao Yue: "Don't trust Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying. When going to Shanzhou, they must let their troops drive forward, and then ask Prince Moudi to come to Jigong's camp to facilitate control of the foreign soldiers in Liangzhou to avoid any troubles."
"If Moudi doesn't come, there will be no enthronement, and Munizanpu also agrees to cede Hehuang. Our Tang army will come to punish Liangzhou with Shang Qixin'er!" Wei Gao said nakedly intimidated.
The helpless Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying were so angry that they gritted their teeth and could only ask their mother for instructions. How to do Ding Azeng?
After consulting Mou Di's opinion, Ding Ezeng said that the most important thing now is to win the favor of Gao Yue and Wei Gao, and that he can be recognized and enthroned by the Tang court. Mou Di expressed his willingness to go to Ji Gong's camp and "direct" the army with Ji Gong.
Two days later, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying surrounded Prince Moudi and came to Huangshuitou, where Gaoyue's military camp stretched for dozens of miles. Ji Gong himself personally welcomed Moudi warmly during the camping. Amid the cheers of the crowd, he covered his armor on his body and then helped him onto a war horse.
