Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 946
"On July 25th, Song Guo first used 5000 troops as a bait to provoke Huangwan Pass, and then Dang Jin led 7000 elite cavalry to ambush the main force of the 2000 White Wolf Army led by Tuoba Gelu Army. Originally, the Yellow Bay Guards and the White Wolf Army lost [-] people, and the other [-] people were taken away by Sun Feiyu."

Just as Tang Xingwu said this, before he could say anything else, Tuobashi, the commander of the first cavalry brigade of the White Wolf Legion, suddenly scolded: "I have known for a long time that that doggy Sun Feiyu is a softie, and it must be the critical moment of that doggy day." Bad thing, let our White Wolf Army lose the battle. This bastard has also been the leader of the bandits, and when I go back..."

"Shut up! How can you allow you to swear at the battle meeting. After the meeting, come to the official to receive the punishment." Every time a battle meeting is held, Yang Jiye sits in the first position on the left hand of Yang Jiye, almost never speaks, wearing a major general A middle-aged general in uniform suddenly shouted and interrupted Tuobashi's yelling.

Tuoba Shi, who has always been irritable, suddenly changed his face when he heard the words, and dared not speak any more after muttering a few words. nature.

The one who stopped Tuoba Lion was a man in his 30s, pale and sickly, who seemed to rarely see the sun, and a man with the rank of major general.This person is Guo Fei, the head of the military law department of the military pivot department, who is well-known in the Xiangfu national army and is known as the white-faced Hades.

Guo Fei was originally the deputy of the black cavalry leader Black Moon, and very, very few people in Xiangfu Kingdom knew his name.It wasn't until Hei Yue served as the head of the training department and the military law department that Ye Chen agreed to let Guo Fei be the captain of the teaching team under the training department after Hei Yue recommended him.

The teaching team is responsible for the rotation training task of all soldiers in the whole army. Since its establishment more than a year ago, nearly 200 soldiers in the teaching team were killed because of serious violations of discipline or disobedience to military orders. There are thousands of soldiers who have been confinement in small black houses and other horrific punishments. No matter how rebellious the whole army is or how powerful or outstanding soldiers are, they are not afraid of Guo Fei, the white-faced king of hell.

At the beginning of the year when the Tianwei Legion was formed, Hei Yue resigned from the post of Minister of Military Justice, and Guo Fei was promoted to Minister of Military Justice. At that time, it happened to catch up with the rectification of the Military Justice Department. The military judges trained by him were especially sent to various legion brigades, After the military judges at the four levels of battalion, company, and platoon took office, they caused quite a stir in the entire army.In just a few months, there were nearly a hundred military officers at all levels in Guo Fei's hands, many of whom were demoted, punished, and punished, including several brigade commanders, and even a battalion commander who was drunk and raped A civilian girl was directly killed by the Ministry of Military Justice.This time the western expedition was of great importance. After discussing with Yang Jiye and others, Ye Chen asked Guo Fei to accompany the army on the western expedition and personally supervise the military's violations of discipline and the accounting of the army's military exploits.With the white-faced Hades following him, on the way to the west this time, there were indeed very few violations of military discipline.

After the episode between Tuoba Shi and Guo Fei, the combat meeting continued, and Tang Xingwu continued to report information.

"On July 26th, General Deng Chongxuan led the Suzaku Legion across the river from Jingtai County, and had a field battle with the Gwangdorje Tubo army who had received the news and led an army of 4000 to intercept it. The Suzaku Army defeated the Tubo army with fewer troops. In this battle, nearly 3000 people were beheaded and nearly 1000 were captured. However, the Suzaku Army also lost more than 3 people and injured more than 27 people. I also arrived at Zhiyuan County on July [-]. It was just a long journey and we were exhausted, so I needed to rest for at least two or three days.”

General Tang Xing first reported the latest information he received.Everyone's expressions were serious, although Tubo, who invaded Lanzhou as a soldier, suffered defeat at the hands of the special brigade and the Suzaku Army who came to support, this was expected by everyone.What really made everyone look awe-inspiring was the battle between the White Wolf Army at Huangwan Pass and the Song Army.Song Jun's move can easily make people think that Song State wants to start a full-scale war with Xiangfu State.Although the Western Expedition of the Hexi Corridor is over now, the Westernmost Uighur Khanate of Xizhou has gathered [-] troops in Shazhou, eyeing Guazhou and even the entire Hexi Corridor, and may send troops to invade at any time.Although the Tubo people in Lanzhou suffered a defeat at the hands of reinforcements, the main force is still there, and they still occupy the entire territory of Lanzhou.

Yang Jiye obviously knew the information a long time ago, and his expression was as calm as a frozen lake.As early as a few days ago when they arrived in Ganzhou City, Tang Xingwu received the news that Yang Yanguang committed suicide to save the people of Lanzhou City and sacrificed his head to the Tubo people.Tang Xingwu still remembers that when Yang Jiye heard the news, his body trembled slightly, and he said 'yes' loudly three times, and then he returned to calm. In the following days, he did not even show any pain, hatred, etc. Emotions, this is naturally the self-control and response that an excellent commander should have.But of course Tang Xingwu knew that this was just Yang Jiye's apparent restoration of calm. It is impossible for anyone not to be hurt because of his son's death. The situation in Xiangfu Kingdom is extremely dangerous, and I have to suppress these personal emotions deep in my heart with strong self-control.

"Master Kou, please tell us about the information about the Hehuang Qingtang Tubo Kingdom and the reconnaissance of the road from Liangzhou to Hehuang Qingtang." Yang Jiye waved his hand and directly interrupted the two brigade commanders who wanted to speak, and said calmly.

More than ten days ago, Yang Jiye led the Western Expeditionary Army to attack the inner city of Guazhou. When the Tibetans attacked Lanzhou, Yang Jiye gathered all the generals to hold a combat meeting, and decided that he might divert from Liangzhou to the south and take Yingcheng directly. Lin Bu reprimanded Laochao Hehuangqingtang's plan. At that time, Tang Xingwu assigned Kou Minglu, the envoy of the Western Region Branch of the Ministry of Security, a reconnaissance and intelligence mission in the name of Yang Jiye.The imperial court had long ago instructed that the Ministry of Security in the Western Regions Branch should obey Yang Jiye's orders during the Western Expedition. Kou Minglu did not dare to neglect, so he quickly mobilized capable personnel to arrange tasks and rushed to Liangzhou in person.Yang Jiye directly invited him to participate in this battle meeting.

Facing General Zhu Guo, No.1 in the army, Kou Minglu did not dare to be presumptuous, got up quickly, first saluted Yang Jiye, but ignored the others, took out a topographic map and laid it on the table, and then said: "General Please see, Liangzhou and Hehuang Tubo are separated by the Qilian Mountains. Originally, when Pan Luozhi occupied Liangzhou, he had close contacts with Hehuang Tubo. This is the mountain road pointed by the Xiaguan, and the Tubo people of the two places have even repaired some places. Before Yingcheng Linbu scolded Pan Luozhi to guard against Pan Luozhi, they had already built a pass at the mountain road where Hehuang entered and exited Qilian Mountain. It is a dangerous pass. The name of this pass is indeed worthy of the name. It is far worse than the Daxia Pass at the border between Yinzhou and Song Dynasty in our country. Only 2000 people were stationed, so Pan Luozhi had absolutely no chance of gaining a foothold in Hehuang. And Ying Cheng Lin Buchi was obviously not easy to deal with. The lower officials got exact information, and Ying Cheng Lin Buchi might be cold to our army. The state has already taken precautions against attacking Hehuang's old nest, so another 5000 people were sent from Qingtang, but now there are 7000 people stationed there. Judging by the intelligence analysis of our security department, it will be difficult for an army of [-] to conquer it in a few months."

Han Tao, commander of the First Brigade of Cavalry of the Black Wolf Legion, said immediately: "It's hard to take it down with a gunpowder bag."

Kou Minglu was obviously displeased that a brigade commander who was two ranks younger than him questioned the judgment of the Western Region Branch of the Ministry of Security. In fact, if he knew that Han Tao was from the Huaxia Weifu, he would not bother to bother, so he snorted coldly at this moment Said: "That day, the Danguan City Walled City was not built artificially, but a natural mountain stream and cliff. Although the gunpowder pack is powerful, did Brigadier Han think that he could blow up the entire mountain?"

Han Tao knew that Kou Minglu was not easy to deal with, so he frowned and glanced at the latter, cursed inwardly, and stopped talking.

Sun Lixing, the battalion commander of the special warfare battalion, thought for a while and said, "Lord Kou, if my special warfare battalion infiltrates into the Tubo village of the Dangerous Pass that day, can we break through from the inside?"

Although Sun Lixing is only the battalion commander, the special brigade is high-ranking and low-ranking. Although he is the battalion commander, his honor is the vice-principal of Dadu, and his position is deputy brigade level. The most important thing is that the killer king above Sun Lixing has no People dare to offend, or don't give face.Even the Ministry of Security, which also has a transcendent status, can't do it, so Kou Minglu still patiently explained: "Commander Sun didn't know something. Except for the entrance and exit of the mountain road, the dangerous pass on both sides was high and steep, almost no different from a cliff. The cliffs and slopes of the Tubo people’s village for several miles are full of stones, and there is no vegetation higher than knees. As long as the Tubo people send out one or two sentries, no matter whether it is day or night, any lurking can escape the eyes of the sentries. To tell you the truth Well, my Ministry of Security also wanted to inquire about the situation in the Tubo cottage, but seven spies I sent out one after another never came back, including a gold medal spy. The special warfare battalion is as light as battalion commander Sun. First-class experts may be able to sneak in, but it is absolutely impossible to sneak in on a large scale. But the number of people is too small and it is difficult to break through from the inside."

Sun Lixing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Mr. Kou for clarifying the confusion."

After speaking, Sun Lixing sat down and did not speak anymore.

Tuobashi, commander of the first brigade of cavalry of the White Wolf Army, heard Tang Xingwu report that the main force of the White Wolf Army had been severely injured in Huangwan Pass, so he felt angry. Later, he couldn't understand Kou Minglu's disgusting face, and finally couldn't bear it now. Immediately shouted: "Master Kou, you have said for a long time that it is impossible for us to attack the Tibetan lair? Doesn't your security department know how to find another secret passage or something?"
