Chapter 619 Battle Situation (1)(1/2)
Zhong Jianzhong sent Wang Dafu away, thought for a while, then left his tent and headed to the Central Army camp of the Song army.
When he arrived, he happened to see Wang Hou, the Hezhou Tongzong who was supposed to be in the rear of Fugong City.
There were many Tubo people around Wang Hou.
They talked and laughed and came out of the Central Army camp.
At this time, the sky was already dark and the torches in the camp had been started.
Zhong Jianzhong looked at the Tubo people around Wang Hou and frowned slightly.
Because no one he knew.
This is very unusual!
Wang Hou soon saw Zhong Jianzhong, and then he took the Tubo people to Zhong Jianzhong. While walking, he introduced to the Tubo people in his rich Xihe accent: "Come on, let me introduce it to you..."
"This commander was the official of Bianjing who personally appointed him to come to Hezhou to bring the benevolence and righteousness of the saints and the compassion of the Buddha to the people of Hehuang."
The Tubo people looked at Zong Jianzhong, their eyes lit up, and they all lowered their heads and stroked their chests. Using the etiquette of the Tubo people to pay homage to the superiors, they said, "I have seen Commander Zong."
Zhong Jianzhong was still confused, but Wang Hou was already dragged to these people.
Under the flames, these people looked straight at Zhong Jianzhong.
Wang Hou pulled Zhong Jianzhong's sleeve, and Zhong Jianzhong hurriedly bowed: "I have met you guys..."
He still doesn't understand what these people are.
But these Tubo people were all flattered and looked down.
Zhong Jianzhong's brain suddenly buzzed.
Although he was used to the attitude of Tubo nobles to treat him these days.
After these people learned that he was appointed by the Bianjing official.
Almost everyone's expression and attitude changed when he saw him.
Emotional, flattering, or admiring...
However, this is the first time I have encountered such attitudes as these people in front of me.
Zhong Jianzhong felt that these people seemed to have a kind of heartfelt awe for him, and at the same time, they might also have a desire.
Why do they do this?
Zhong Jianzhong looked at Wang Hou, and Wang Hou smiled, approached him and whispered: "Uncle Yi cooperates..."
Zhong Jianzhong nodded subconsciously.
The Tubo people immediately knelt down happily and kowtowed to Zhong Jianzhong.
Then, happily, under Wang Hou's farewell, he walked out of the Song army camp.
In the darkness outside the camp, there were vague figures of responding.
Zhong Jianzhong looked at all this, his eyes stared at Wang Hou's face that was already dark and rough by the wind and sand.
"Brother Chudao..." Zhong Jianzhong called out the other party's words.
Wang Hou grinned, looked at Zhong Jianzhong and said, "Soldiers are the devil!"
Something seemed to have been pinched by Zhong Jianzhong's heart.
He seemed to know the origin of those Tubo people.
Wang Hou did not hide it from him, saying, "The people just now were all messengers sent by the other side!"
Zhong Jianzhong swallowed his saliva and asked, "The Ghost Chapter's Messenger?"
Wang Hou shook his head: "Ghost Chapter is still fighting stubbornly."
"But the people below him can no longer hold on."
"A few days ago, these people sent people to Fugong City to negotiate with me through Xibawen's subordinates..."
Zhong Jianzhong looked at Wang Hou, and Wang Hou sneered: "Uncle Yi feels it is difficult to understand?"
He said: "For the Tubo tribes, this is nothing difficult to understand."
"The tribes under Guizhang used to be followed by the tribes of Solid Yonglong and Biluza, and were relatives of Xibawennai."
"There are some disagreements among relatives, but they are still relatives, so there is a bit of incense."
"Last year, Guizhang seized Xige City, but he could only expel Xibawen, but he could not harm it. This is the reason."
Zhong Jianzhong listened and let out a sigh of relief. The relationship between the Hehuang tribes of the Qingtang Dynasty, even for the Zong family, was actually a bit complicated.
But Wang Hou followed his father Wang Shao to manage Xihe since he was a child, and his family studies were about studying the relationships between Tubo tribes.
His family also became the person who had the deepest research on the origins of the Tubo tribes of Qingtang and Tang dynasties in the Song Dynasty.
only……
Zhong Jianzhong asked, "Brother Chu Dao, will this be a fraud?"
Qingyi Ghost Chapter is one of the few famous generals among the Tubo people.
He is very cunning in his military use and has a deep calculating plan.
Back then, Jing Sili was defeated by Qing Yi's plan to get rid of the ghost seal and was surrounded and annihilated by Tabai City.
After the battle between Baicheng, Xining was directly allowed to open the border and paused.
Wang Hou smiled and said, "Don't worry...Uncle Yi..."
"No matter whether the Ghost Chapter is using fraud or not, the official army will win this battle!"
"Because..." He licked his tongue: "Ghost Zhang came here this time, but he suddenly fought under Xige City, stalemate with Xibawen and the official army until now!"
"If we continue fighting, it will snow on the snowy mountain."
"Once it snows, its troops can only withdraw their troops."
"When the troops were withdrawn, there were more than 100,000 people in various tribes, what should 300,000 to 400,000 livestock eat?"
This is why Wang Hou was determined that his tribes could only surrender to the Song Dynasty.
This time, Qingyi's ghost-making seal made a wrong choice without detailed investigation.
Its nest came out and raided Xige City.
Originally, Xige City should have fallen quickly according to the general rules.
However, in the past year, Xibawen has cooperated deeply with the Song Dynasty states of Xihe.
Not only did a large number of young and strong men be sent to Xihe Road to work, but they were deeply involved in the construction of cotton villages.
His subordinates also dispatched a large number of people, abducted and robbed the population.
He himself personally led the leaders of various tribes to Mabang Mountain to pay homage to the Buddha's teeth relics and visited the General Xihe of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Xibawen in Xigo City is nominally an independent force.
However, the relationship with the Song Dynasty and its bondage of interests was extremely deep.
Therefore, Xige City can buy military and national heavy weapons such as Divine Arm Bow, Armor, Eight-Cow Crossbow and Even Catastrophe Machine.
In the past, these things were absolutely forbidden to flow out of the Song Dynasty.
The Western thieves repeatedly bribed heavily to buy officials and citizens of the Song Dynasty, but could only smuggle single-digit armor.
But here in Xige City, the arsenal of Xihe is open.
As long as Xibawen has enough money, he can buy it at will.
So, Xibawen spent money directly last year to turn Xigou City into a hedgehog.
Qingyi Ghost Chapter did not know about this crucial information.
Therefore, Xige City, which should have fallen quickly, was not captured.
It even persisted until the Song army reinforcements arrived.
When the Song army in Hezhou arrived, Qingyi actually had some other choices.
He can make a quick decision and quickly withdraw his troops to stop losses.
But he didn't!
So, after the Xizhou troops brought by Zhong Jianzhong arrived, he would not be so relaxed when he wanted to withdraw his troops.
As time goes by, winter on the plateau is getting closer.
Qingyi has not had much time to make a ghost seal.
If you drag it down, the mountain will be blocked with heavy snow, and it will be the time for its destruction.
Therefore, the abnormal movements and defections of the various subordinates under his command are reasonable.
For the Tubo people, this is not embarrassing.
Since the collapse of Zanpu's dynasty, the Tubo tribes in the Hehuang region have been like this.
To be continued...
