Chapter 851: After the victory, the battle for territory
At dusk that day, Du Shiyi stepped back and looked at the map on the wall alone in the Lingwu Hall thoughtfully. Because the sand table was in the hall, it was boring to do two of them exactly the same. In addition, the large map left by Li Wei was really detailed, so he was too lazy to make trouble. As he looked at it, he unknowingly reached out to rub the cities on the map, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji fled to Shuzhong, while the Crown Prince Li Heng wisely gathered troops in Lingwu City, Lingzhou, Shuofang and then ascended the throne and emperor. Therefore, the generals who became famous all over the world, whether Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pugu Huaien and others, mostly came from Shuofang, while the rest were Helong and Anxi. The next one was Anshi who once rebelled and surrendered. Now, he was in Shuofang, although he was far from being a gambler, and even had to fight wits and courage with his generals, but he was finally standing in a place that could be called a node - whether for the future Tang Dynasty or for himself at this moment.
"Haha, after so many years, Du Shijiulang, you are still the same."
This chuckle surprised Du Shiyi, but before he turned his head, he had already remembered the sound in his memory. He took a light breath and then slowly turned around. Sure enough, he saw a young woman wearing an ordinary dress in a green sackclothed head. Time also left indelible traces on her face, but the expression of pride that seemed to be caring nothing was exactly the same as before.
So he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's been so many years, Madam Yue, you still can't change this elusive habit. What if I treat you as an assassin?"
"Then be careful that I really stab you with a knife." Yue Wuniang raised her eyebrows, and then said calmly, "But I know that you are the governor of Kaifu Jianya, not Du Shijiulang who used to travel around the world in white, so of course I wouldn't be so reckless. I have already greeted Wu Tianqi in front of the door so that no one can turn around and don't have eyes to bump into it. I came here specifically not for anything else, but for this war. Gu Jieli, the idiot, thought that this time the troops were his own wishes, but he didn't expect that almost all the generals who advised him were bribed by others."
"Oh?" Du Shiyi immediately put aside his thoughts on reminiscing and asked with great concern, "Is it Denli Khan? Or his brother?"
"Everything. Khan Dengli had long been disgusted with his two uncles who held military power. As for Gu Jieli's brother, who claimed to be right-killing, he was foolishly trying to get involved in his pastures, people, and soldiers. However, except for the two sides you mentioned, Gloru and Uighur Basimi also got involved in it, which led to his arrogant sending of troops this time. If he wins, the Tang Dynasty will naturally not be willing to do so. They will definitely send troops to retaliate. No one will support him at that time; if he loses, all parties will be even more happy. Only this idiot thinks that if he wins this battle, he can follow the example of Mochu Khan who rose to the past, and make the tribes of the four realms frightened and respect him as Khan."
Du Shiyi then understood why the Turkic soldiers and horses would break the ground this time. But no matter what the intention of pushing the hands behind him was, it was a fact that it caused him a lot of trouble. But just as he thought so, Yue Wuniang raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Of course, I also pushed me behind her back. Don't stare at me. The military governor who has no military achievements cannot be said to be strong after all, let alone the efforts of all parties. This battle must be fought. If anyone fights according to his intention, the difference will be great. When the old place comes, it will be cold so that people can freeze their eyebrows. If they don't swallow some other people's territory, move to the south. Do you want me, the little monk and Baoer to freeze to death?"
Yue Wuniang said this, and Du Shiyi had no choice but to accept this fact. However, he was more concerned about whether Yue Wuniang appeared here, which means that the war in Sanshoucheng had already achieved results. Sure enough, after so many times, Yue Wuniang finally told the important news.
"The more than 10,000 troops brought by Gu Jieli to the north of the surrender city in the west and the southern foot of Langshan, they fought fiercely with Xie Zhi, the deputy general of the Strategic Army. Xie Zhi retreated because of the hasty reception of the enemy. When Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huaien arrived, their troops were unstoppable and rushed straight into the enemy's formation. They immediately defeated Gu Jieli's troops and horses. If Gu Jieli had not tried hard to rescue each other, their heads would have been cut off. However, Xie Zhi, who came to his senses, did not make people look beautiful and turned around and counterattacked, which was a slight victory. In addition, the young monk had been holding on for so long and ambushed the retreat of Gu Jieli in the north and picked up a ready-made bargain. The Uighur soldiers and horses were cut by a knife because the Khan of the Li family was promised to be profitable. The left killer Gu Jieli was finished this time."
A thrilling battle was spoken by Yue Wuniang in such a plain tone that Du Shiyi felt an indescribable sense of incongruity. However, he would not have doubted that this would be the military newspaper that would be spread to Lingzhou in the near future. Although he believed that Guo Ziyi, Pugu Huaien and Lai Zhen should be able to make achievements, the real good news is much more beautiful than "should" and "maybe" speculation.
"It's gold, it's always shining."
"I came here specifically not just to announce the good news." Yue Wuniang moved a little and stood in front of Du Shiyi. "Next, Khan and Uighurs will definitely be busy seizing Gu Jieli's territory. Although we have few soldiers and few lands, we don't want to return without success. Baoer stayed in Dubo this time, and the little monk led his troops. I still contacted many horse thieves for help. I just said that Dubo was too cold, but I wouldn't really be able to stay there. Is it really going south to fight with people this time? Don't forget that you need to make an idea, we are guarding your territory for you?"
Thinking that after the strong Turks showed their decline, they would be replaced in another ten years on the grassland. Even if they were taking the chestnut from the fire, it would be better than inaction, Du Shiyi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then he said firmly: "It is necessary to grab it, but you cannot be attacked from both sides. You and Denli Khan should be able to speak. The Uighurs and other Tiel tribes are unreliable after all, and you, the princess of Asina, will never take his position. Of course, everyone knows your relationship with Yunzhou back then, and this contact must be more hidden.
"I understand." Yue Wuniang showed a knowing smile, shook her hand and said goodbye, but she walked out without looking back. "We may not be able to help you in the future. Take care of yourself. In addition, thanks to my princess sister. The master was able to escape from the shell, thanks to her help."
The general was outside and the military order was not accepted. Although Du Shiyi didn't know what method Guo Ziyi used to tie up the three soldiers and horses together, since the victory was a foregone conclusion, he immediately calmed down and planned how to report the victory. In addition to the victory, there was another thing that needed to be done, that is, the six people he killed in public before. The murder was small, and the things he "burned in public" were the top priority.
When Yue Wuniang disappeared without a trace, he returned to the backyard where he rarely stepped on his own and left the tiger's teeth outside. There was an inconspicuous sandalwood box in one corner of the house, as if it were ordinary furniture, but when he went up and lifted the lid, he saw that there were all kinds of files piled up, which seemed to be burning without a trace. If he hadn't known earlier that Gu Jieli's army was already in the forefront, he might have followed the map and used other excuses to clean up the Shuofang Martial Army, but since he was in the war, he could not bear the consequences of a mutiny in the army.
But now is not the time when Cao Cao burned letters to stabilize the morale of the army after the Battle of Guandu. If he only remembered to calm the morale of the army but lost the morale of the emperor, the result would be equally worrying.
After Guo Ziyi led the army to the war, he had roughly read these files. It has to be said that the thorns in the army were really powerful, and even many concubines in the family of the generals had intrigues. Of course, there were also many messy things. As for the taboos such as bribery and seeking military positions, they were also endless. However, the highest was the brigade coach, most of them were small officers such as the chief and deputy team. However, just like Ye Wenjun, who wrote a letter to Wu Wenyou for supporting her, expressed his support, such a big event that would have lost her head, also appeared in the treasures of these small characters as their lives.
Such powerful supernatural powers make people feel cold. If he hadn't taken down Ye Wenjun at the beginning of his tenure, I'm afraid these people could have used this to control Ye Wenjun.
At this moment, he thought about it and took out the file of Li Wei and Ye Wenjun. After thinking about it, he found several volumes of the generals involved and had a great relationship. Then he called Huya in. Seeing that he was passing by without looking at him, he pointed to the closed box and said, "Seal it tightly, and then you can choose the most appropriate person and send it to Luoyang to hand it over to Gao Lishi. I will write a handwritten letter with you."
After Pugu Huaien confiscated the homes of those people, these things were taken over by Huya himself, so that he could quickly change the things here without knowing it. At this moment, after counting the number of days on the road, he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to rush on the road?"
"I'm afraid it must be like this. If you change it to a vine box, it can be lighter, but it must be fast and stable. If you have experienced this kind of thing through the Ministry of Education, you might as well divide the troops into two groups, send them one by one, and pass through local governments to cover up the joints of the Ministry of Education. If the news of Guo Ziyi's victory was not promptly transmitted, I would have hesitated how to send this batch of things to Dongdu."
Yue Wuniang came suddenly, and Ye Tianguo was not in the Lingwu Hall at that time, so Huya only cared about training the fangs and did not know the news of Guo Ziyi's victory. At this moment, he was full of energy and did not care about the victory or defeat of Pu Gu Huaien and himself.
After winning a battle, Du Shiyi laid the foundation for convenience in Shuo, and those generals could no longer shake it.
