Chapter 524: each show their abilities

  Chapter 524 Respectively show their supernatural powers

  When passing through Minshan, 50,000 Qiang soldiers joined forces in Tongchang City, Fuzhou, and there were only less than 40,000 left, and two of the ten stops had been broken.

  Several party chiefs complained to each other there.

   But in the end, we have to face a difficult reality, what should we do now?

  Xifeng Bulai was criticized by the chiefs for a long time, and they all said that if he hadn't advocated a surprise attack on Fuzhou, he wouldn't be in today's predicament. If everyone went directly to Songzhou, the Tuoba tribe would not be defeated in Songzhou city, and they would not be trapped here today.

  Xifeng Bulai, who is over half a hundred years old, has recently increased a lot of worrying white hair, and everyone has said that he is already full of anger. This time, not only Tuobabu suffered a lot, but also his Xifengbu.

   Although the defenders of Jiachuan City were not part of his fine seal department, he also lost more than 2,000 troops in his two rescues. Not to mention, the Qingqi of the Tang Army, who went deep into the hinterland of the party, took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot when they were not at home, causing the old family to turn their backs on their backs, and the loss was just as huge.

   This time the army was sent out, it was really tricked by old ghost Tuoba.

  Originally Songzhou belonged to the Tuoba family. His vassal tribe surrendered to the Tang people.

   It was a good thing to be persuaded to move the coalition forces to attack Tang, but the result was good, and there was nothing to do.

   "Stop arguing!"

  Xi Fengbu Lai patted the table, and said coldly, "If you can find a way home by making a noise, then continue. If you can't, just shut up and listen to me."

   Fei Ting Changsheng disdainfully said, "What can you do, can you take everyone home?"

   "I can!" Xifeng Bulai roared, and Zhen's Fei Ting Changsheng's expression changed drastically for a moment.

  At a time like this, Xifeng Bulai didn’t want to continue fighting in the same boat. Although the fighting in the eight departments of the party is an old history, everyone is in the same boat now and can only help each other.

   "We have to stabilize Qin Qiong first, this man is worthy of being the number one general under the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is really capable.

  Xifeng Bulai planned the first move. He first sent people to bring a lot of looted gold, silver and jewelry, as well as some BMWs, to Jiachuan to meet Qin Qiong.

I begged Qin Qiong, hoping that Qin Qiong would let them go back to the party, and said that he was willing to return the looted Han people and the captured Tang army, and that he would be loyal to Datang from generation to generation, pay tribute every year, and never dare to cross Boundary step.

  In short, Qin Qiong must be stabilized first, and he cannot be allowed to lead troops again.

   "Begging to surrender?"

   Fei Ting, Chang Sheng and the others frowned.

   "A man can bend and stretch, just bow his head for a while." Xi Fengbu Lai snorted, "What we need now is to go home, and what we need is time, so bowing your head to Qin Qiong temporarily is nothing."

   Everyone stopped talking.

  Xifeng Bulai also said that the property given to Qin Qiong should be shared equally by each family. Some chiefs of small tribes are not happy about it. We have few people and we rob less, so why should we share it equally.

   But Xi Fengbu stared at him, and they could only sit down awkwardly.

"As long as Qin Qiong can be stabilized first, there is still a chance." He took out a map, "It is impossible to go back the same way, and since Qin Qiong occupied Jiachuan, it is impossible for us to use Jiachuan to go to Songzhou Go back, not go west."

   "Our home is on the west side. If we don't go west, how can we go back? The east side is the territory of the Tang Dynasty." A chief asked puzzled.

  Xi Fengbulai didn't even bother to talk to this kind of person.

  He points southeast.

   "Let's go to Wenzhou!"

   "Wenzhou? We looted it all and set it on fire. Everything is gone?" Noriburi said.

"We're just passing through Wenzhou. There is a tributary flowing into Wenzhou city 20 miles north. We follow this tributary valley trail, travel 30 miles north, and turn eastward for 50 miles. Then you can reach the Yangtang River, a tributary of Qiangshui River, and then go southeast for another 30 miles along the Yangtang River Valley Road, and you will reach the bank of Qiang River."

  Everyone was confused at first, but when they heard about Qianghe, they all regained their spirits.

  Everyone is familiar with the Qiang River. It is named Qiang because the banks of the river used to be the place where the Qiang people lived for generations.

  The source of the Qiang River is on the west side of the mountain. Isn't that the border between their Dangxiang and the Tuyuhun people?

  In fact, decades ago, the Baishui River area in Tongchang, where they are now, used to be the territory of the Baishui Qiang people, while the Qiangshui River area to the north was the Sanlang Qiang. The head of the Shenlang Qiang clan used to be called King Dangchang, while the head of the Baishui Qiang clan used to be called King Deng Zhi.

   "As long as we get to the Qiang River, then we only need to go up 700 miles along the Qianghe River, and we will be able to reach Xiqing Mountain and return to our hometown." Xifeng Bulai's words are exciting.

  Between Baishui River and Qiangshui River, there are continuous high mountains, which are basically not connected. But in this area of ​​Wenzhou, the two rivers are already very close and are about to converge. There are also many channels in this area, and there are many channels in the valleys of the tributaries of the two rivers. Therefore, channels have been discovered long ago, and trails for mules and horses have gradually been established to facilitate communication.

  Fei Ting Changsheng raised a doubt.

The Baishui Qiang was destroyed by the Central Plains in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Dangchang Qiang was also destroyed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Central Plains established Song, Fu, and Wen prefectures with the Baishui Qiang land, and established Dangzhou, Wuzhou, and Wuzhou with the Dangchang Qiang territory. State, Diezhou, etc.

  This time they invaded the former territory of Baishui Qiang, but the former Qiangshui territory of Dangchang Qiang is still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

  The seven hundred miles, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk.

   After all, it has to pass through the three states of the Tang Dynasty along the Qiang River.

   What to do if blocked?

"Everyone, don't panic. Now the main force of the Tang army is in Jiachuan and Qiangshui. There are no soldiers and horses. We have tens of thousands of horses crossing the border. What are we afraid of? Anyone who dares to stop us will kill us all the way. No one can stop us from returning. the way home."

   "Of course, if someone is afraid, then you should stay here."

  As soon as Xifeng Bulai said this, no one said anything more. That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that Jiachuan's way back was blocked, everyone would still be talking nonsense here. Isn't it also a helpless move to go around thousands of miles to go home?

Fei Ting Changsheng even smiled and said, "I think this is a good opportunity. I broke Wenzhou before, but I snatched a lot of good things. Patriarch Xifeng broke Fuzhou, so he shouldn't rob too much, right? Let's do it this time Just **** it all the way and destroy his mother's Wuzhou, Dangzhou, and Diezhou."

  This remark attracted the applause of many Qiang leaders.

  Thieves don’t go empty-handed. Everyone has worked hard to come out. So far, they haven’t gained much benefit. Many tribes have also lost a lot of troops and lost money.

   Although the route pointed out by Xifeng Bulai is not easy to follow, especially the section from Wenzhou to Wuzhou, which has to cross mountains and deep mountains, can not be controlled so much.

  ·····

  Clamp Chuan.

   After taking Jiachuan, Qin Qiong did not march into Tongchang, Fuzhou immediately, but took a temporary rest.

Fighting in this kind of place, the Tang army does not have the advantage that the Qiang people have. They are used to this dangerous mountainous terrain, and even the climate here, especially because they carry cattle and sheep as supplies, and basically no longer need to send supplies from the rear. .

But now that more than 20,000 people under Qin Qiong's command have gathered at the city of Jiachuan, it has actually increased the pressure on logistics supplies. To attack Fuzhou, one must first mobilize and accumulate enough food and grass in Jiachuan, so that the next wave of attacks can be launched, otherwise , difficult to last.

   After being rescued, the captured people in and around the city of Jiachuan became refugees and needed relief from the government and army. Qin Qiong patrolled the city defenses, comforted the people, achieved victories, asked for seals and rewards, raised food and grass, comforted the disabled, and was very busy.

   "Situ, there are Qiang thieves in Wenzhou who have sent envoys to beg for surrender!"

  Qin Qiong didn't even look up.

   "Begging to surrender? It may not be sincere."

Zhang Tieqiang said with a smile, "Alang took Jiachuan, and the Qiang thieves have nowhere to escape. If they don't beg for surrender, they can only wait to die. With the capricious temperament of those Qiang people, I think they are sincere in begging for surrender now, but In the future, I’m afraid it will be the same again.”

   "Tell the envoy that I am not free for the time being, and I will see you when I am done."

   "Ah Lang, this is it?"

   "Now I have the initiative, and the Qiang people are in a hurry. We can delay it, but the Qiang people can't."

  In fact, Qin Qiong can't afford it either. There are more than 20,000 people here, and eating horse chews consumes a lot of energy. If it is delayed for one day, Wenfu and Fuzhou will fall for one more day.

   But relatively speaking, the Qiang people can't afford it. Procrastinating for a while will make the Qiang people more honest, and it will be easier to talk if they really want to talk.

  Anyway, Qin Qiong prepared with both hands, preparing for the battle and negotiating at the same time. It's good to have a deal. If the Qiang people dare to play tricks, it's a big deal that they will end up with force.

   There are only tens of thousands of Qiang people, and it is not so easy to solve. We must make full preparations, and we cannot capsize the ship in the gutter carelessly.

Just like the samurai Xun, the great opportunity to chase and annihilate the enemy was wasted. When the opportunity was missed, he hurriedly chased after him. Wenzhou was lost.

  Thinking about it makes people sigh.

   He took so much effort to win Jiachuan, but the samurai Xun and the others were lucky because they lost such a big battle in Wenzhou.

Spend it, whoever can't hold his breath will be more likely to leak his flaws. Anyway, Sanlang is doing a good job in the west, and a division of Sanqian Qingqi, but in the end, Tuoba Chici is played around like a cat and a mouse. The Qiang people in the west were completely restrained, making them unable to send troops to reinforce them.

  So Qin Qiong is very confident now.

   "Send a letter to Lord Ying Guo of Lizhou to comfort him, and ask Lord Ying to strengthen his guard. Don't let the Qiang people attack again. Lizhou must not allow any mistakes."

Lizhou is not a deserted border state like Wenfusong. Lizhou is a transportation hub between Shannan and Longyou. It has a large population, and there are also important storage and materials such as transfer warehouses, regular warehouses, and military warehouses. There is no room for loss. .

   "Send another letter to Long, Jian, and Wuzhou to remind them to strengthen their precautions and never let Qiang people enter the country."

   "As long as everyone tightens their mouths, the 40,000 to 50,000 Qiang thieves will be trapped in this pocket, making it difficult to fly. If anyone is lax and the Qiang thieves break through, he can't bear the responsibility!"

The old iron gun reminded Qin Qiong, "Ah Lang, you are neither the prime minister of the court nor the head of the camp. You are just the governor of Songzhou. You have crossed the line when you came to Fuzhou to fight. Now you still have to order the governor of the four states Generals, I'm afraid they may not be willing to listen, and this is suspected of exceeding their authority, and I'm afraid that the censor will impeach him afterwards."

  Qin Qiong said, "Although what you said is reasonable, how can you take so much into account in the current situation."

"Ah Lang, why don't you ask General Zhang and the King of Huaiyang County to explain that they were sent by the crown prince to assist Sanlang. Now that Sanlang is not here, they are the main generals in this army camp. It may be safer to let them send orders to various places. .”

   "Forget it! I'll go find Zhang Wu'an, who used to belong to Prince Qin's mansion, so he should come forward for such a small matter."
