Chapter 124 Talking on Paper(2/2)
Zhi Xuesheng said that he had received a local "information report", saying that many monks from the Tibetan side were inquiring about the terrain of the Tang army and the distribution of Xiao Jiong in seven places, "perhaps it was not a deliberate move."
Of course, this alone is not enough to convince the local big players. If you are prepared for everything, you will be safe. In order to save yourself, Fang Chongyong has made a lot of preparations.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and cursed in their hearts.
At that time, it was Fang Shijun, who was the military envoy of the Jiankang Army at that time and was now the right minister, who used the "improved version of the empty city strategy" to counterattack and bought time for reinforcements for Xiao Jiong.
He is not the kind of person who just sits there and waits for rescue.
That would be tantamount to betraying the previous governor's fault. At the same time, the beautiful people in Dunhuang would be grateful for our benevolence and righteousness, so we could not lower the family's reputation in the local area.
It is better to do something that is more beneficial than costly.
Zhang Chan said with emotion.
On that day, the military and political officials of the Liangzhou Prefecture gathered in the small hall of the Jiedushi Yamen to discuss a series of troubles caused by the Zhixue Zhizheng.
That Shazhou only complained. This year, the seven states in Hexi have been owed military pay, and it’s Zhizhixue Fang Chongyong’s family again! I haven’t asked the court for money yet, but the court replied that it is in progress and will definitely make up for the arrears.
.After all that is said and done, what else can I, the military commander, do?
This made Xiao Jiong's troop deployment under the "command" of the Tubo people.
When the time comes, Fang Shijun's power will increase slightly, which will inevitably break the current central government situation.
Therefore, I have weakened the defense in the Tang Army area, and believe that the possibility of the Tibetans attacking the Tang Army this spring is very small. Moreover, I have also planned to train the separatist troops, and hope that Hexi Jiedufu will quickly provide the military pay needed to train the separatist troops.
and grain.
Whose family doesn't have a future son-in-law like Fang Laique? If he still has to protect him, he is still a child. He is the governor before he gets married. How about he still get it before he grows up?
As the leader of a small local household, Zhang Chan nodded slightly and said.
The first official letter was from Fang Laique, the governor of the Tang Army, complaining that the imperial court continued to owe Fang Chongyong. Last year's winter clothes and this year's spring clothes were both distributed. The soldiers were very resentful and there was no possibility of mutiny. It would be a test if it happened by then.
, I, the governor of the Tang Army, was also capable.
According to Fang Laique's logic, in fact, every state in the Hexi Corridor is under direct threat from Tibet. Is there any place that is absolutely dangerous?
If the Tibetans went north along the Ganquan River (i.e. Dang River) to attack Dunhuang, and then used an army to feign an attack and pull out valleys to hold back the reinforcements from Liangzhou, how do you think we should respond?"
Zhang Shougui's attitude is very clear. I am not betting that the Tibetans will attack the Tang army. I am promoting talents to avoid relatives and to consider their status. I will personally support my future son-in-law!
The Wei Rong Army (stationed in the original Tubo New City) sent a thousand soldiers and horses who had come up from the defense this time, and stationed them in Changle County, Guazhou to support them. The military envoy was Cui Qianyou.
Anyway, they were all complaining about poverty, and the only one who shouted outside Shazhou was Zifang Laiqie, so Shazhou immediately ignored the matter.
The next time, we went north from Mingshui (Shule River), captured Guazhou, and destroyed the city wall of Guazhou. At that time, the seven states in Hexi almost lost seven, but they came because of your Xiaotang border army The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and only then did the Tibetans succeed.
We don’t have that kind of ability!
Fang Laique ordered Yan Zhuang with an expression on his face. At this moment, his official authority was fully displayed. When the local small households saw this, they all dared to question it like Zhang Chan.
That proposal can be described as a win-win choice.
As for what to do in the front, let’s talk about it later. Anyway, Brother Ji is just a man, and the border army’s military expenses are in arrears, so what can I, the governor, do not do?
Hehe, what I said just now almost made me deceive myself. The more I said it, the more I felt that the Tibetan people would do that.
This made Zhixue Sheng, who had made no achievements in the military, feel a great deal of pressure. Zhangchou Jianqiong later obeyed my orders, but now he is still not indifferent. He is too obedient. Zhixue Sheng urgently needs someone who can take orders. A young general in the frontier army.
"Everyone, I won't go into details about the current situation. What do they think they should do?"
If the Tibetans come, those grains will be used as military rations to supply military needs. If the Tibetans come, those grains will be used as cheap grains outside the charity warehouse to stabilize the market price."
However, he could say that what I said was completely reasonable, because there was indeed a possibility that the Tibetans would attack the Tang army.
As a result, the battle situation on the Hehuang front line also fell into a period of confrontation. Neither side launched a small-scale offensive, but only fought hand-to-hand in some key areas. The number of troops involved in each battle was more than a hundred, and it did not cause any disturbance.
Yan Zhuang ordered the servant outside to bring a shelf, and then hung up the map of the Hexi region that had been prepared in advance. The map was not particularly unusual, it was a must-have for merchants traveling along the Silk Road. Very few places have been marked by Zhixue Sheng, including the various military strongholds of Zhixue, which are not noted below.
Therefore, the border retreat will enter a relatively intense period, and soldiers from various armies in Hexi will have to go home to work in agriculture one after another. They will be replaced in turn, and soldiers will naturally be in a state of shortage.
Shazhou added a handful of firewood to the stove!
But once the Tibetans succeed, the strategic benefits we will gain will be so small that it is imaginable.
The implication of his words is also very obvious. Fang Laique, the follower, does have a few brushes in his endorsement, which also proves that Fang Chongyong, like his father Fang Youde, is not an ordinary person.
Zhang Shougui did have to bear certain political risks in that matter, but it was too small a problem. The risks were controllable.
Please Liangzhou Prefecture to quickly replenish the army's salary without any delay.
Before everyone read the official letter, they didn't have a very intuitive idea in their minds: Fang Laique, that little kid, really knows how to ride a horse!
If you can postpone it for half a year, postpone it for half a year. If you can postpone it for a year, postpone it for a year. Today's meal cannot be bought for two or eight months at most, otherwise it will be postponed until next spring!
What do you think?"
If the first article is not unexpected by Zhixue, then the seventh official letter will not be a bit sensational!
Chapter completed!
