0503 Take advantage of strength to detain Fan generals
The tent was brightly lit, and the brazier ring with strong charcoal fire was placed in the tent, baking the entire tent so warm and with little smoke. Many people in the tent were wearing only one clothes and still felt cold.
Of course, not all soldiers can enjoy such conditions. Although the Daibei Daxing is still abundant in supplies, since it is stationed in the border areas, it is natural to use the materials with utmost care.
For example, the firewood and charcoal used for heating can naturally be saved as much as possible. The generals naturally provide sufficient supply, and only the elite soldiers in the army can enjoy the limited amount.
As for those foreign servants and servants on the periphery, if they are not prepared enough, they will not even be able to cover the basic camps. Some even need to stay in snow caves and endure hunger and cold.
Of course, it was not because the Tang Dynasty was treating them harshly. Every time the Tang army was collecting, military funds and spoils would be rewarded, but it was never possible to distribute them to every Hu soldier. Most of them were deducted by their respective leaders and chiefs.
Those Hu chiefs were less polite and caring about their tribes, and only treated them as a resource for wealth. If they couldn't even do this, what's the use of raising so much leisure?
It is precisely because the Tang people were rich and willing to share the benefits. Although the border affairs of the Tang Dynasty have become increasingly sluggish since the beginning of the reunion, there are still many servants who respond to the reunion for each recruitment.
If you stand on the Turks, fighting a house and robbing seems to be satisfying, but the benefits that the Turks can give them are very minimal. They fight fiercely and share the remaining soup. If the results of the battle are not rich enough, they themselves may become the target of the Turks' robbery, and the risk is too high.
Therefore, as long as the border situation on the Tang Dynasty can be stable, the few people and the few people will be more willing to follow the Tang Dynasty and make a living.
In the camp, Xue Huaiyi sat down slanted, and the soldiers diligently divided the barbecue, poured wine and refilled the cup to their mouths. Of course, this kind of enjoyment was naturally far inferior to Shendu, but Xue Huaiyi was not dissatisfied with this, but she was still happy with it.
Although the city of Shendu is full of wealth and wealth, Xue Huaiyi always feels a little depressed. When he first led his troops out in his early years, he was extremely panicked, but after walking for a long time, the feeling of commanding thousands of troops and being the only one in the camp quickly overcame the fear of the battlefield.
Especially every time he marched, he did not need to fight, and he had no shortage of topics of showing off after returning to the capital of God. Not only did Xue Huaiyi no longer reject the expedition, he even had some expectations in his heart.
Of course, it is one aspect that he enjoys his happiness. Xue Huaiyi also understands that he is worth it, so every time Dianjun goes out, he never cares about specific military affairs and only focuses on the pleasure in his own camp. This is also because the military affairs are complicated and heavy. Even if he wants to interfere, he has no idea how to start, so he simply enjoys himself and saves the trouble.
Xue Huaiyi was very happy to learn that Wu Youyi had entered the camp in person today. It was not because he had a good relationship with Wu Youyi, but he was finally an old acquaintance of the God Capital, which allowed Wu Youyi to see how high his prestige in the army was.
After all, he is not as good as boasting about such things, and even if others hear it, they are just scratching their tickling through their boots. It is not as direct and profound as they feel it in the scene.
For this reason, in addition to the generals who were guarding the direct patrol camp tonight, all the generals above Guoyi in the camp were summoned by Xue Huaiyi to the central army tent. In addition to some Hu chiefs, there were nearly a hundred people in the entire camp, but the internal space still seemed quite spacious.
"Before, King Jian'an wanted to supervise the military supplies on the back road. Although I have the intention of killing the thieves side by side with you, I cannot disturb the matter. But since the king is here in person today, he does not have to rush back to the sky, and must be able to enjoy the style of the southern border of the desert!"
Xue Huaiyi was already drunk a little, and squinted Wu Youyi and said with a smile: "Flying sand in the desert, golden swords and iron horses, sharpening knives and Shanyutai, these are men's heroic spirits! The people of Shendu are just romance and beauty. When they hit Ju immediately, they feel brave. But for us brave men who are outside Masai, they are just dogs who are nostalgic for their family and do not dare to travel far!"
Hearing Xue Huaiyi say this, Wu Youyi and the generals in the tent naturally praised Xue Shi's heroic spirit.
Xue Huaiyi was inspired by this and couldn't help but become even more excited. He raised his hand and pointed at Qi Ziming and said, "It's boring to stay in the camp for a long time. Since King Jian'an has already entered the camp, tomorrow General Manager Qi Zi will arrange for elite cavalry to go straight to Shanyutai, take a break, kill the Turkic South Teeth, and then you can triumph!"
When Qi Biming heard this, his eyebrows could not help but jump secretly. He couldn't help but glared at a few generals who praised Xue Huaiyi's most over-the-top words. He said nicely. If he really aroused the heart of this person, it would be difficult to extinguish.
At the same time, Qi Biming also frequently looked at Wu Youyi and signaled him to quickly talk about the withdrawal of the troops. Otherwise, seeing Xue Huaiyi's excitement, he might really rush out tomorrow.
Although Wu Youyi was not very responsible in normal times, he naturally could not retreat when he planned major events.
So he faced Xue Huaiyi's slightly confused gaze and sighed and said, "It is commendable for Master Xue to have such ambitions. But unfortunately, his duties are low, so the reason why he entered the camp this time was not to compete with Master Xue for his merits in the south of the desert. The army was stuck outside for a long time..."
Wu Youyi explained together that it was nothing more than the army spent too much and the subsequent support was already weak, so it was really difficult to keep the army commander away.
This is not just a fraud. When the imperial court used troops in early autumn, it was planned to fight and decide quickly. Although there were a lot of supplies, it was about to bottom out. Especially the court had undergone a tremendous change, and it was also known that there would never be more assistance in the future.
Xue Huaiyi was full of interest, but he didn't expect Wu Youyi to say such a disappointed sentence. His face soon became gloomy. After a while of silence, he suppressed his anger, turned to look at another supervisor, Su Honghui, and said in a deep voice: "How many days can the supplies in the camp be used?"
Su Honghui glanced at the Hu chiefs sitting in the corner of the tent, stood up and replied, "The early preparations are sufficient, and the supplies in the camp are sufficient. However, the thieves in the south of the desert feared the strength of our king's army and fled without a trace. The army suddenly disappeared for more than a month, so I am afraid that they will stay here again, and there will be no turning point in the near future..."
As Su Honghui spoke, several other marching supervisors also made suggestions. The reasons mentioned were similar, and they were nothing more than a one-stop effort, and then they were declining. The army commander stayed here, and his spirit had been lost. It was better to retire temporarily and fight again next year.
Xue Huaiyi was originally full of displeasure. He led his army to the war this time and had a little bit of a breakthrough from zero to one. He wanted to really let the Turks go blood. After all, it was really unreasonable to go on an outing every time.
But he also knew that soldiers were very fierce and could not be willful. He was showing off his power and would not even have his life. Especially when all the generals said this, there was always some reason, so his mood cooled down a little.
However, before Xue Huaiyi could speak, the foreign general Li Duozuo, who was sitting in the table, had already pushed up the case and said angrily: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor has given me the general manager of the 18th Route Army, with a large army of 100,000, and patrol the border. What he is doing is to fight against the thieves and rebels, kill the unjust ministers, and promote the power of the Great Zhou Tian! The army has not fought for a long time, and has consumed grains and rice. It has already been a blessing from the emperor. Now he leaves without fighting, and will make me return to the North Road soldiers on behalf of His Majesty!"
Li Duozuo's voice immediately broke the tacit atmosphere of understanding. The generals were silent, and Xue Huaiyi's eyes also flashed.
Seeing this, Wu Youyi felt relieved. He was planning to take down one or two thorns and to seduce Li Duozuo to stand up. At this moment, he was in harmony with his heart.
So he also stood up angrily, smashed the cup in his hand on Li Duozuo, and cursed: "The army is fighting or leaving, and the chief general will make a decision. How can you have a room for your slaves to argue with it! You are arrogant and brave, greedy for me, and you don't care about me. Is the life of my soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty your resource for me? The generals gathered together, and the chief general had not spoken yet, so you, the slave, roared first, where would the power of the chief general general army be placed!"
When Xue Huaiyi heard this, she immediately sat up straight, looked up at Li Duozuo and said unhappily: "Have you let you speak out?"
"I am rude, but I am rude to think that the reason why the king discussed withdrawing troops was really biased..."
"shut up!"
Wu Youyi continued to angrily, and at the same time gave Su Honghui, whom he had made an appointment not long ago.
Seeing this, Su Honghui quickly stood up and ordered some middle-level officers and Hu chiefs to be led out of the tent so that the conflicts between the upper-level army would not be widely known.
When everyone withdrew, there were only more than a dozen senior generals at the first level of the general manager in the tent. Qi Ziming said again: "I asked the two general managers to forgive General Li for his crime of rudeness. This time, the marching station recruited the border servants, and most of General Li met with his old friends. If he left without success, all the servants would not be rewarded. General Li was afraid of losing his old friends and was anxious for a moment..."
It would be fine if he didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, he immediately ran Li Duozuo into an even more awkward situation.
Although what Qi Bi Ming said is true, Li Duozuo was a famous general from the Northeast, and he also fought on the front line of fighting with the Turks under the command of Heichi Changzhi, and had good friendships with the Hu Hu around the territory. If he did not fight this time, those Hu chiefs would be dissatisfied if they did not ask for rewards.
But the truth is this, but with such a straightforward explanation, it seems that Li Duozuo was in order to take care of the Hu chiefs, so he ignored the current dilemma of the army and insisted on his own hope that the army would continue to stay here.
In the eyes of the general manager of the army, these Hu tribe servants were nothing more than vultures who were catching food on the frontier. They would come and go as soon as they were summoned. How could their demands become a reason to decide whether the army would stay or not?
Xue Huaiyi was also furious for a moment and pointed at Li Duozuo and said angrily: "Detain this thief Hu who violated the military power and was charming the superiors and subordinates! I will not be allowed to lift the ban!"
Although Li Duozuo felt wronged, he saw that he had become the target of public criticism and did not dare to argue for a while, so he could only be tied up and retreated honestly.
Wu Youyi originally regarded Li Duozuo as a potential threat. Seeing that he could handle this person so easily with Xue Huaiyi's power, he felt happy, so he clapped his hands again and said, "Everyone is working together, hurry up and take out a detailed rule for withdrawal."
