Chapter 17 Eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon (Happy New Year's Day!)

A bonfire has already been set in the tent.

This dispelled the cold that was late at night.

There were already personal soldiers who helped cook a pot of broth and scones by the bonfire, which was full of aroma.

On the table on one side of the tent, An Wensheng was lying in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand and recording something.

Hearing the sound, An Wensheng raised his head and looked at the door, and saw Su Dawei leading everyone in.

In addition to Guo Daifeng, there is also a more Ashi Daozhen around Su Dawei.

An Wensheng knew that Ashinadaozhen and Wuwei had all drawn out some elite Tang army troops and moved towards Dafeichuan.

There are two functions.

The first is to confuse the judgment of the Tubo people, and several cavalry of the Tang army rushed into the vicinity of Dafeichuan.

If the Tufan people sent troops to encircle them, they could divide the Tubo soldiers' forces.

If the situation is wrong, the Tang army can retreat to the defense zone.

Second, if the Tubo people fail to react, they can attack in a split and join forces with Su Dawei's vanguard army to strengthen their troops.

If you want to go deep into Tubo, complete the strategic concept of Emperor Li Zhi, and destroy the Tubo capital in one battle, it is far from enough to rely on Su Dawei's more than 3,000 elite troops alone.

At least tens of thousands of troops are required.

At the critical point, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Tubo side cannot guess the intention and make the main force of Tubo unable to react in time.

Therefore, the Tang army must move quickly.

We must delay the reaction time of the Tubo people as much as possible.

Tens of thousands of troops...

If the Tang army's subsequent troops arrive, the fighter plane is lost.

On the Hexi defense line, no state can take out these troops alone, otherwise it will shake the original defense line and even be seized by the Tubo people to break through.

This pressure can be relieved from Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Liangzhou and other states.

It's quick to mobilize.

Each division only needs to bring one or two thousand people and horses, and can quickly move.

Of course, there are risks in doing so.

If the states dispatched Tang troops to assist Su Dawei and were found out in advance by the Tubo people, it would lead to a series of evil consequences.

But unless the Tubo people drilled into the belly of the Tang army, it was not so easy for them to capture the traces of the Tang army on the vast grassland.

The entire strategic plan is a bit risky, but it is the only fighter jet that has the opportunity to knock down Tubo in a short period of time.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of Tubo was in Hexi, the capital was empty and beheaded with one blow.

"I just killed everyone outside the tent!"

Ashi's flawlessness really didn't change his shady mouth and smiled heartlessly, making the handsome face look a little funny.

Guo Daifeng smiled and said, "The general manager is like a god, what is the matter of killing some Tubo surrendered generals?"

"Sit down and talk, don't stand."

Su Dawei took off his golden-winged helmet and sat down next to An Wensheng: "Old An Rang Rang."

“The location is large enough here.”

"You are more comfortable here."

An Wensheng glanced at him resentfully and moved half of his butt silently.

Su Dawei sat down and took a look at what he was writing, which was today's combat military newspaper.

The entire incident was explained clearly in An Wensheng's memorial in just a few words.

Today, we summoned the generals in the army to summarize today's battle and arrange the next step of action.

"After fighting today, there should be no main force of the Tubo people within a radius of 100 miles? If they want to send troops, they have to spend a few days in the evening. It takes time to gather, so we have to buy time."

"Wait, what did the chief executive do today? Where did those Tuyuhun people come from?"

"This matter has been a long story."

Ashin laughed so hard that he took Guo Tiefeng's words and explained it with ignorant explanation.

It turned out that after splitting the troops with Xue Rengui during the day, Su Dawei and the two thousand elite soldiers did only one thing.

Long distance raid.

In just half a day, he ran a hundred miles and destroyed the pastures behind the Tubo people. He captured more than 50,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep every year.

When Guo Huifeng heard the news, he couldn't help but exclaim "Ah".

Originally, he saw that Su Dawei was overdue and thought that Su Dawei had gone in the wrong direction.

Unexpectedly, not only did I run the wrong way, but I instead played a powerful interlude and deep.

After Guo Daifeng was a famous general, he naturally understood the tricks.

He lost his spirit for a moment and said, "If the Tubo people are destroyed, let alone the Tubo gathering again, I am afraid that within a short period of radius of hundreds of miles, it will be like a place where no one will be."

“That’s exactly that!”

Ashi said with a true look: "I met Ami on the way, and I met the general manager, and joined forces with him to achieve this feat. Therefore, I realized the viciousness of this move.

The Tubo people also needed food and supplies, and their food was cattle, sheep and war horses. They had more than 10,000 soldiers, and they needed at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses, and war horses to supplement them.

As long as these horse farms and cattle and sheep are there, you will be able to gather again if you break up the Tubo people.

This time, Ami led his cavalry to travel for more than 200 miles in one day, and quickly conquered the pastures behind these Tubo troops.

And they captured the Tuyuhun chief who was responsible for guarding the horse farm, and forced the strong men of their tribe to go out with the army."

Speaking of the last sentence, Ashinadao Zhen raised his head and laughed: "Since the expedition to the Western Turks, I knew that among the young generals of the Tang Dynasty, no one could surpass Ami's right in terms of the skills of recruiting the servants."

Ashin's words were really simple, but Guo Taifeng heard a thrilling feeling in his ears.

He was a soldier-knowingly, and he thought about it. It took about five or six hours from the beginning of Xue Rengui's battle with the Tubo people, to the retreat of the Tubo army, the Tang army rested, to the continued pursuit and chasing the defeated Tubo army.

Even if Su Dawei set out early in the morning, it would be extremely difficult to lead the cavalry to travel for more than 200 miles in six or seven hours.

Even if the Tang cavalry advanced quickly, they did not consider food and grass supply.

Because in such a short time, not only did they travel long distances, but they also had to capture the Tubo pasture, and quickly transformed the prisoners left behind the pasture into servants of the Tang army.

Any error in this link will be endless.

But Su Dawei did it perfectly.

Even when they come back, they can catch up with the siege against the defeated Tubo soldiers.

This is simply described as a magical technique.

It is obviously a very difficult thing, but it seems that it is not difficult at all in Su Dawei's hands?

Guo Daifeng thought in his heart that it would be impossible to do it if he had changed himself.

How could the Tuyuhun people, who were several times more than the Tang army, obeyed.

How to ensure that they do not rebel and do not stab the Tang army in battle.

All of this requires great mental and intellectual strength.

Of course, the most difficult point is how Su Dawei determined the pastures of the Tubo people a hundred miles away.

This kind of logistics location should have been the core secret of the first army.

Su Dawei dared to do this, so he was naturally confident.

It also shows his grasp of intelligence.

After thinking through this, he understood why when he came in, he saw Tang army killing prisoners on both sides of the road.

Although it was only targeting the generals in the Tubo army, this move was quite abnormal.

Thinking of Su Dawei forcibly captured tens of thousands of Tubo people, those who were young and strong in Tuyuhun.

I immediately understood that Su Dawei's move was to establish his authority.

"Each person drinks a bowl of hot soup to warm up the body, and you can talk about the others slowly."

Su Dawei signaled his personal soldiers to give the soup to the generals, and then turned to An Wensheng and said, "Have the results of the battle been calculated? The rewards of those servants should be fast and should not be deducted."

"rest assured."

An Wensheng pointed to what he was writing and said: "One hundred thousand cattle and sheep are divided into two parts, half of which is divided into the Tang army, and the other half is distributed to those Tuyuhun people, and let them manage the animals of our Tang army."

"good."

This is An Wensheng's idea.

The cattle and sheep that were originally Tuyuhun people were plundered and turned into Tang Dynasty, and half of the servants were divided after the war.

Fifty thousand cattle and sheep were divided into two parts, and one Tuyuhun shepherd could manage four or five heads, and then help the Tang army take charge of the other half.

For these shepherds, it was just a small task.

But psychologically, these cattle and sheep were originally from Tubo people. Tuyuhun and other proletarian shepherds had several cattle and sheep in their hands at once, and their enthusiasm for fighting was aroused.

In fact, Su Dawei forced these people to fight secondly. The key is to let them herd horses and sheep on behalf of the Tang army and master the mobile logistics database.

Don’t look at these Tuyuhun people who have divided half of the cattle and sheep.

If the war really needs to...

Of course, this would not be the case unless it was absolutely necessary.

But this move gave Su Dawei's Tang army an extra choice.

The problem of grain and grass transportation along the road was also solved.

Use the Tubo people's tactics to fight against the Tubo people.

"Where is Xue Rengui? Why haven't he come here yet?"

"General Xue is still dealing with the prisoners outside just now, so it should be soon."

Guo Kaifeng responded.

At this time, he was full of awe of Su Dawei.

Originally, because of his father's name and being personally tested by Li Zhi's palace, he still secretly showed arrogance towards Su Dawei.

But when he saw Su Dawei's use of troops with his own eyes, Guo Kaifeng then understood why Su Da was able to sit at his current position in just a few years.

There are no vain men under the reputation.

He thought to himself.

Hula ~

The curtain was lifted, and Xue Rengui, who was carrying a night wind and a solemn aura, strode in.

He saluted Su Dawei with his hands first: "I have met the former general manager."

"Okay, don't be polite when you come in. They are all their own brothers. Rengui will come and sit there and have a drink of hot soup."

Su Dawei greeted him warmly.

Xue Rengui took off his helmet, sat down in the empty seat in front of the bonfire, placed his helmet beside him, patted his knees, and let out a long sigh: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"The counting has been completed? How many prisoners are? How many war damage?"

"In this battle, Tubo had more than 10,000 soldiers. After two major battles, the number of casualties was about 3,500. We captured more than 4,000 soldiers for the remaining defeated soldiers, but there were still two or three thousand. I don't know where to escape.

In addition, we have lost more than 200 people and injured more than 400 people on our own side.”

The Dafeichuan line is mountainous.

Nearby Qilian Mountains, and a little further away, there are also Bayankala Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.

Not to mention some glaciers and snow-capped mountains that are large and small, and cannot be named.

It will be difficult to find a devastating army if it really escapes into a mountain depression for a while.

Su Dawei nodded: "It's already good. The escaped people don't need to pay attention. There is no food supply, so they can get into the mountains... Haha, if you can hold on for two days, you will be a god."

The weather here has a huge temperature difference between morning and evening.

Even if the spring moon is already here, people may still be frozen to death at night.

This made Su Dawei even more seem to have rushed to Baili and removed the Tubo people's pasture in one fell swoop, with a vicious vision.

Within two or three hundred miles, there is no such large ranch anymore.

Thousands of defeated soldiers cannot survive.

"By the way, there's another thing."

Xue Rengui's face turned up and said in a deep voice: "It's about Zhao Hu'er, the scout team."

"What's wrong with him?"
