Chapter 474
"I want to fight from west to east ()"
Now Buddhism is about to return to this land, Your Majesty needs the power of Buddhism, Buddhism needs Only with the support of Emperor Your Majesty can we return to the Central Plains.
The two sides who fought to the death a hundred years ago have now become allies, which is true to the sentence. There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.
Li Xiang, who is located in the northwest, does not know that there are two Great Influences in the south that are about to join forces to suppress him.
He is also preparing to go south to conquer the grasslands. This is a promise he made when it snows before winter, and the Xiliang army is also gathering to prepare various materials.
Zhang Qingyun didn't care about Li Xiang's actions. Anyway, all the substances consumed by the Xiliang army were supplied by the headquarters of Xiliang, not the money of their northwest yamen.
Only when the war reaches the middle and late stages will their northwest yamen get busy. At that time, the materials prepared by the Xiliang headquarters are almost consumed, and their northwest yamen will supply them!
There is no free pie in the world. The Northwest Yamen have obtained so many materials, and naturally they have to pay the price. Otherwise, Li Xiang will not have their share in the grassland.
Those prairie tribes look poor, but they are actually rich, but they are not as rich as the Central Plains.
On the grasslands, things like gold, silver and jewelry are not valuable at all, and basically every household has some.
When they were still with the gang, they could use these gold and silver jewelry to exchange for food or whatever they needed.
But then they began to stir again, and after using swords and soldiers to plunder things, the Chamber of Commerce of the Great Gan rarely came to this grassland to trade with the tribes of the small grassland.
Even though their Chamber of Commerce is very famous in the world, the fame on this grassland is of no use at all. Instead, they will be regarded as fat sheep by the tribes on these small grasslands.
It's too dangerous to trade here. There are so many places in the world where you can make money. Why come to this dangerous area?
Therefore, these tribes on the small grassland have more and more gold and silver jewelry, but they can't spend it at all.
The gold, silver and jewelry can't go out, and when they go south to plunder, most of the things they plunder are still the same!
This forms a very bad cycle, which also Let the steppe tribe have some gold and silver jewelry in every tent.
These are the materials that the Xiliang scouts found on the small grassland.
These things don't have much value on the small grassland, but if they fall into the hands of Xiliang, the value of these things will be high.
The headquarters of Xiliang does not need such things as jewelry. In the end, these things will be converted into good silver and given to the yamen, and they can earn more silver by simply changing their hands.
So Zhang Qingyun did not oppose war, but supported war very much. Xiliang has been fighting continuously since the beginning of its establishment. I don't know how many people were killed or injured in the war, but in terms of plundering materials, I have never eaten anything. Excessive loss.
He believes that Li Xiang will not fight at a loss, plus the pasture on the small grassland, the pasture is very good, after this area is laid, Li Xiang will definitely build a ranch farm on the small grassland , when the time comes Northwest Yamen will have a lot more taxes.
Li Xiang has been exempted from the agricultural tax, but these pastures and farms are still within the scope of taxation.
So they can collect more taxes!
"My lord, everything is ready." Cheng Jushu said standing beside Li Xiang, Li Xiang nodding, watching the gathering The black presses a crowd of people.
These people are all his generals. The lowest position is the Thousand-man Commander in charge of 1,000 people, half of the people from the headquarters of Xiliang, and half of the seventh and eighth Legion.
All with heavy armour dangling from their waists, they knew a great battle awaited them.
The generals of Xiliang were never afraid of war, they longed for war and enjoyed war.
In the war they can reflect their own value, in the war they can get military exploits,
In the war they will be respected!The most respected profession in Xiliang is Soldiers, being a soldier in Xiliang is more respected than an official.
Among these people, the most concerned are the people at the forefront. They are the people who were rescued on the border of the grassland. Here they train hard, and Xiliang provides them with a lot of of meat and cultivation techniques.
11 people came to this meeting.
"I'm just a rude person, and I don't know how to say anything!" Li Xiang said loudly to the generals below: "Last year, in the first stage of winter in Liang Province, in the northern part of Anding County, The Xianbei on the small grassland, the Qiang people slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians in Liang Province, and the area was blood dyed red.
At that time, I made a promise that a debt of blood must be paid in blood. The tribe kills one of my civilians in Xiliang, and I want to kill a hundred, a thousand of them.
Now is the time to make them a debt of blood must be paid in blood !
this time army soldiers Divided into three routes, the first route, Seventh Army regiment leader Zhao Tiezhu led the headquarters Legion, and my three thousand Xiliang heavy cavalry set out from Sanshui City, advancing from east to northwest!
The second route army led by the headquarters Legion Step 2, lead the eighth Legion, 150,000 Xiliang headquarters troops were dispatched from Zhangye County, and went straight to the place where the Qiang Shanyu was! Starting from Bingzhou, we will go straight to the ancestral land of the Xianbei.
Finally, our Three Route Army may reach Balong Lake, the core of the small grassland together, in four or five months!
This time, Lao Tzu will let the blood of the small grassland scatter three thousand miles!"
Li Xiang's layout is very rough, he just planned the route of each army, as for how to fight, it depends on these Man's own plans, and the plans laid out now will never keep up with the changes of wartime.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the battle plan will change according to the changes of the battlefield. How could he possibly command the army from a thousand miles away, and blind command will only make the army under his command lose more.
Each soldier under his command is extremely valuable, losing a soldier not only loses a brave and good soldier, but also pays a lot of silver taels!
"The specific combat plan of each army is your own. After discussion, the Xiliang headquarters will be responsible for the logistics supply line in the early stage, and the Northwest Yamen will be responsible for the later stage. Of course, you should save yourself a little bit. Every time you lay down a place, give me a good look at the cattle and sheep. If there is no food, kill the cattle and sheep. Eat, if you have food, keep them as seeds."
"Also don't hold back when facing the Qiang people, kill me if you meet them!" Li Xiang murderous-looking facing the soldiers They said, "On the Xianbei people's side, if you can capture them, you will capture them, and if you can't capture them, you will also kill them."
In such a large grassland, people in the Xiliang headquarters cannot do everything. The fate of the Xianbei people is to become the horse herders of Xiliang.
....
"Dad, are you going to fight again?" Li Chengqian raised his cerebellum and pouted.
Li Xiang squatted down and touched his son's head: "Well, you should look after younger sister at home, and wait for Dad to come back and bring you gifts."
"Can you not go? Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Xiang with satisfaction. Li Xiang had to walk for a long time every time he went out.
Li Xiang shook his head: "Daddy can't help but go, there are many people." Wait, they need dad to lead, they need dad to lead, and when they come back, dad will take you to ride the big horse!"
Li Chengqian lowered his head and let go of his hand reluctantly, without saying a word , the maid on the side hurried over and hugged Li Chengqian.
Li Xiang turned his head and rode his horse to leave. He really can't stay, the battlefield needs him!
I don't know what will happen on the small grassland this time. I don't believe that people from other forces will miss this good opportunity!
The movement of the Xiliang army can't be hidden from those who care. When the Xiliang army in Jiuyuan County was dispatched, the army in Liang Province also began to be dispatched , they are to support the army from Jiuyuan County.
A part of the army that was mobilized to take part in the Battle of the Steppe was ready.
Connect To Heaven River is full of ships of the Xiliang army. Sanshui City, an important transportation hub, is crowded every day. All kinds of materials are transported to the grassland.
Many people know that Xiliang is about to start a war again!
The Jiuyuan County has not been affected by the war. No matter how fierce the war is, it will not affect the civilian population.
There are many young people who are working hard to practice martial arts and cultivation. They must become stronger. Only when they become stronger can they enter the Xiliang Army and become an existence that countless people respect and look up to.
As a soldier, the whole family is honored.
On the battlefield, people will die, but there is no place in this world where people can't die?
They can live in such harmony in Jiuyuan County, not because of the Xiliang army. Outside the South and the North, don't they rely on the Xiliang Army to defend against foreign enemies, so they have such a safe environment?
Also, even if they die, the pension is enough to support the children of the Great Accomplishment!
Xiliang's army always moves ahead without moving their troops and horses. Many forces are aware of this. When they see the movement of food and forage, they know that a war is likely to begin.
The Great Influences are extremely envious, they envy the cold rice of Xiliang, they envy the war ability and wealth of Xiliang!
Xiliang in the perennial war is not only not because The war was defeated, but it became stronger and stronger because of the war.
When other forces go to war, it will affect the economic development in their own territory, and sometimes it will also affect the civilians, because the logistics supply of the front line relies on those civilians to transport food and grass.
But what about Western Liang?
Basically every year they are fighting, either with the forces of the Central Plains in the south, with the ominous beast, or with the recovered demons and ghosts.
But this is the case, Xiliang is still developing very well and has become one of the important economic points of Eastern World, exporting a large amount of food every year.
The civilians in the territory are martial, prosperous, and have sufficient food. They are richer than the Central Plains before the great chaos!
The army soldier of Xiliang can be called a famous one in the world Strong army, they are strong, belligerent, and happy to fight!
Li Xiang took the Xiliang iron cavalry to Zhangye County City by boat, gathered with the Xiliang iron cavalry gathered here, and ran all the way to the northwest , It took Li Xiang a month to come to Bingzhou City.
At this time, the time has come to May, which is the time when the Xiliang Army prepares the entire army to attack the north.
All armies are ready.
The Qiang and Xianbei people on the grasslands only started to realize it later when the Xiliang army was ready and began to dispatch.
Can't blame them either, because at first no one knew who the Xiliang army was going to fight, they just saw and observed that the Xiliang army was gathering and they were preparing supplies.
But they don't know where the army will be assembled and the number of the army.
It wasn't until the Xiliang Army went north that the tribes on the small grassland knew that Li Xiang was going north, and the army assembled was to deal with their small grassland.
When the Great Influences knew that Li Xiang was going to hit the Grassland, they were also confused. They knew that the Grassland Tribe had brought their army to massacre hundreds of thousands of civilians in Liang Province last winter.
Li Xiang formed a liangzi with the small grassland, but he really didn't know that the king of Xiliang, Li Xiang, was so fierce, and he was going to go north to find the trouble of the small grassland with the army.
This is too ferocious!
Also let them know how strong Li Xiang's other character is, seeking revenge for the slightest grievance, everyone knows it, but never thought it was so fierce!
Bianzhoucheng outside.
When the soldiers in the city watched the black-pressed iron cavalry pass by, the soldiers were sweating on their foreheads, and the Xiliang iron cavalry appeared outside the city of Bingzhou!
Although the other party It's just borrowed to go north, but the pressure can only be felt by those who have witnessed them!
The Xiliang iron cavalry in full body armor will form a path wherever it walks, and this one just enters the One of Bingzhou's cavalry, there are five more troops like this one.
Go north in five directions!
I really don’t know how the King of Western Liang, Li Xiang, trained the cavalry in front of him, and how did he have so much money to support him? Such an iron cavalry!
There are many courageous people outside the city. They stared blankly at the tall cavalry. The horses were much taller than them. Soldiers in black armor give them a very large impact.
"As expected of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, one of the top ten cavalry in the world!" A young man holding a Bai Xiaosheng cavalry ranking, looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with hot eyes: "I really hope they will fight this battle. , it can hurt the grassland tribes and make those small grassland people dare not go south."
Bingzhou is also invaded by small grassland people, and every once in a while, grassland people go south to plunder, but Bingzhou is There is not a big family on the side, and the generals sent by Imperial Court are still guarding the land, so there is no misery in Liang Province.
"Three first-class Martial Artists sent from the headquarters will be here soon. Everyone should prepare what should be prepared. This time we will go deep into the grassland with these Xiliang iron riders.
If this time is done well, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives!"
In a hotel, a large group of people excitedly packed their things, books, pens, papers, and food and drinks.
Before the troops behind him left Bingzhou, Li Xiang's Flying Bear Army had already gone deep into the grasslands, and now he is staying in a tribe, with raging fires rising around him.
The ground is full of corpses, no one is left...
