Chapter 71 Change

Yang Hao asked Qu Qingquan to talk in detail about the idea of ​​moving Tiande soldiers and civilians to Fengzhou. Qu Qingquan asked Yang Hao: "Is the general going to abandon Tiande army?" Yang Hao said: "The Tiande army has experienced wars and people's livelihood is withered, and the land is small and the land is small. I plan to only garrison the Tiande army and no longer garrison the people. Eight     1√Chinese website W     W√.★8√1√zくW      .くCくoM”

Qu Qingquan said: "There are two main commercial roads between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty. One is from Hedong and the other is from Zhonghucheng. The one in Hedong is harassed by the Xi people, and the road is dangerous, and there are not many merchants. Zhonghucheng has become a major transportation route for north-south. Wang Qian relies on it to establish a place in the northern country where heroes have risen. Now Liu Mian and Li Zaiyi have driven out the Xi people. The Hedong business road has been cleared. In contrast, since Wang Qian's death, the Tiande Army has been repeatedly war-torn, and the business road has been blocked for a year. Now the overall situation has been settled. If the general gives up the Tiande Army again, this business road will be abandoned from then on."

Qu Chuji said that there was regret. Yang Hao had never thought so deeply. After hearing what he said, he asked: "In your opinion, I should not only not move the people, but also try to clear this business road as soon as possible. Yes, you are right. Once the business road is opened, the money road will be alive. Not only did the people in the Tiande Army have a plan to save themselves, but they also opened up a source of wealth for Fengzhou."

Qu Qingquan said: "If we can open up the mountain road of Breeding Sheep Mountain, the transportation and trade routes between the Uighurs, Khitan, Shiwei, Xiren and other troops and the Tang Dynasty will be held in the hands of the Grand Marshal. The tariff alone is worth the agricultural and animal husbandry taxes of the three cities in Fengzhou. In addition, there are many articles to do with this business road. However, a beautiful jade will also attract the covetousness of all parties, and from then on, it will be rare to be peaceful."

Yang Hao smiled and said, "An Ning is a battle, and it cannot be entrusted by others. The people of the Tiande Army will not move, so you have to choose a capable person to take charge of the plan. In my opinion, who is worthy of taking this position?" Qu Qingquan said, "I am willing to work hard for others but not talented people. Go to the Tiande Army to open up the business path as soon as possible."

Yang Hao pondered, "It's good that you go, but how can you be missing from the Staff Office?" Qu Qingquan said, "The Staff Office has Ling and two generals Park, and the Staff Officer has no actual position to be in charge. The low-level position will not affect the overall situation. This is one. Second, although the Staff Officer does not have a practical position, you can often listen to the teachings of the adults, and you can also participate in the secrets of the army. It is convenient to overlook the entire army. After one or two years of training, you can stop alone when you are outside. The low-level position is a scholar, and you are very proud of this position as a corpse. I sincerely say that the commander thinks twice."

The Staff Office has a general, with the Staff General and the Staff Officer. The three are both leaders, while the other departments have only one chief, and the secretary is the deputy. The reason why this was set up was that in addition to the Staff Office being the chief officer, the position of the other departments was mainly to accommodate meritorious veterans and balance the forces of various factions. However, the consequence of a long position in the department was that internal friction was serious and inefficient. If Ling Tong had not had a high qualification, high prestige, and could have been able to suppress others, there would have been a chaos long ago.

Guan Suo was transferred to the intelligence room. After Zhang Yannian committed suicide, Yang Hao once had the idea of ​​reform, but due to various interferences, he had never made up his mind. At this moment, Qu Qingquan's words touched this problem again. Yang Hao secretly decided to take this opportunity to start reform as soon as possible.

"It's rare that you can be so frank and honest. Then I'll ask you frankly, can you take on all the military and political affairs of the Tiande Army? "

Qu Qingquan shook his head and said, "The Tiande Army has Liu Mian in the east, the Barbarian and Hei Five Divisions in the northeast, the Wutu Division in the northwest, and the Ma Yue Division across the river. When it is attacked from the enemy on three sides, there must be a general guarding it. He is incompetent and can control the people but cannot control the army." Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction, and Qu Qingquan's mind is still clear.

"So who can take on this burden in your opinion?"

"I recommend General Park Eun-joon to a low-key position."

Yang Hao smiled, Qu Qingquan's thoughts were perfectly in line with himself: "Then you are ready to go to the Tiande Army to take up his post. You are in charge of civil affairs, Park Eun-jun is in charge of the army, and the generals and ministers are in harmony to do some practical things for the people of the Tiande Army."

While the two were talking, Mulanqing leaned into the room several times, but hesitated for a while and then shrank back. Qu Qingquan was originally sitting behind the door but did not show up. At this time, he got up and saw it, so he dismissed Yang Hao and left.

"Huang Yiliang is here." As soon as Qu Qingquan left, Mu Lanqing hurried in and said.

"Oh," Yang Hao was slightly surprised, "Call him in."

Huang Yiliang was ordered to go to the front line of the Giant Stone Fort, with the purpose of finding out where the 20,000 suddenly disappeared Tianlang Army was. This matter is confidential. Yang Hao instructed Mulanqing and Huang Yiliang to come back, no matter how busy he is, he must report to him immediately, and not let others know.

"Masterman!..." Huang Yiliang walked in excitedly with a roll of map under his armpit. He accidentally tripped when crossing the threshold. The map fell to the ground. While helping him, Mulanqing helped him pick up the map. Because he looked at the map more curiously, Yang Hao yelled: "Don't look at what shouldn't be seen."

Mulanqing was startled and hurriedly rolled up the map and stuffed it to Huang Yiliang, bowed his hands and retreated.

"Their traces have been found." Huang Yiliangqiang suppressed his inner joy and spread the map with trembling hands.

"It's here, they are hidden here in Poyang Valley, south of Langshan."

Langshan is a mountain range stretching across the northwest of Fengzhou, stretching for hundreds of miles, with a steep terrain, and is both a natural barrier between Fengzhou and the Uighurs with Yinshan. When the middle of the forest was strong, it once controlled the north and south of Langshan, but since Qi Jin was defeated and fled, Langshan fell into the hands of the Uighur royal court again, which put Fengzhou at a strategic disadvantage.

"This place is so close to the Giant Stone Fort, why has Chen Mingyi been unable to see their traces for a long time?" Yang Hao said with some annoyance.

Poyang Valley is only a hundred miles away from Yongfeng. If 20,000 cavalry suddenly cross the river and rushed over, how can an isolated city resist? At that time, wouldn’t the defenders placed in the three counties south of Yinshan be all made of wood-carved and clay sculptures?

"This is the treacherous part of the Uighurs." Huang Yiliang had a good personal relationship with Chen Mingyi and wanted to excuse him. But he couldn't say it too straightforwardly. Otherwise, with Yang Hao's sensitive and suspicious personality, he might have helped Chen Mingyi instead. Huang Yiliang thought about it for a while before speaking:

"Our Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs still maintain a superficial ally relationship. The two countries only have a few lords at the main intersections of the border. Their scouts can easily penetrate hundreds of miles into the other side to investigate military information. In order to prevent the scouts of Xiaofeng Camp from approaching Langshan, the Uighurs set up camps at dangerous places at the valley entrance. As soon as my scout approached, they beat the gong and trumpet to force us away. The General Staff Department emphasized in the orders given by the battalions along the border that they were at a sensitive time, and they should act cautiously and not be dissatisfied when reconnaissing enemy situations. This also led to Xiaofeng Camp being a little timid when reconnaissing, so they could not detect the Tianlang Army."

Guiding the staff to conduct enemy reconnaissance is the power of the Staff Office. There is no need to ask Yang Hao for instructions. Huang Yiliang has poured some dirty water on the Staff Office, so it will not make Yang Hao unhappy. He can also make the purpose of excusing Chen Mingyi, and he feels quite proud.

Yang Hao was quite disgusted with the intrigue between his subordinates but felt helpless. As long as the principles were not involved, he turned a blind eye and was too lazy to ask. Huang Yiliang's words were profound in his words. He pretended not to understand.

"I don't understand why they didn't cross the river and attack Fengzhou directly? The 20,000 troops rushed over and broke Fengzhou long ago."

"Because their erotic foals are in the season for changing hairs."

"Oh, do you want to change your hair too?" Yang Hao felt that this matter was very new.

This surprised Huang Yiliang. Horses were hair-losed once a year in spring and autumn. This is basic common sense. How could the dignified generals of the three armies not know? But then I thought about it, this is not surprising. There are many foolish generals in the army. For example, Li Tong from the Military and Political Department, he didn't know that gelding can also be military horses, and most of the military horses were castrated. He once made a fuss that the castrated foal was a useless horse. Perhaps in his opinion, the castrated horses were like castrated men, all of which were listless and sissy and were not worthy of fighting against the enemy on the battlefield.

Yang Hao did not realize that he had made a common sense mistake. In his impression, the horse was like a sword and a gun, and he knew how to play but didn't know how they built it. He still said according to his own ideas: "What is the inherent relationship between changing hair and not fighting? Can't horses marches and fighting in the season of changing hair?"

This sentence has come to the point. The general season for changing hairs in horses will naturally not hinder the marching and war, but the marching horse is different. This kind of horse is very special. When changing hairs, they will develop a kind of psyllium on their bodies, which will cause the horse to lose appetite and become listless. Not to mention that they are too lazy to open their mouths even when they are marching and fighting. In the past half month after changing hairs, the invincible marching and ruthless marching horse is as good as the donkey that is pulled by the mill.

Huang Yiliang told Yang Hao all the truth, which actually indirectly answered the reason why the Tianlang Army in Poyang Valley did not raid Fengzhou. Two thousand people rode 20,000 donkeys across the river to fight eastward. Wouldn't it be that they looked for their own humiliation? It's not that they didn't want to fight, but that the time was not yet ripe.

"How long will it take to change hair once?" Yang Hao stared at the map and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The beginning of late August is four or five days before the end."

"Can the war start immediately after changing the hair?" This is another substantial question.

"Yes, once the Mao was changed, the Wulong horse's appetite increased greatly and his spirit was very excited. He could advance 200 miles a day and a night. In other words, if they wanted to do it, they could sweep the three cities of Fengzhou a day and a night, from the westernmost section of Fengzhou to the easternmost section of Fengzhou, and even enter the Tiande Army."

"If it weren't, they would definitely take action, otherwise they wouldn't have put 20,000 people in this place!"

Yang Hao shouted at the door at the top of the door: "Call the chief officers of each department to come for a meeting." Mu Lanqing, who was cutting flower branches in the yard, put down his scissors and ran out. Yang Hao's voice came from behind: "Don't call Qu Qingquan."

This military meeting was more like a pre-war mobilization meeting. Before the meeting, Yang Hao announced three things: First, the Staff Department carried out a reform, abolished the Staff General and Staff Captain, and the three heads were in charge of the Staff General, who was the Staff General, and Ling Tong was still the Staff General, and four other staff members were appointed as deputy. Second, Park Enjun was appointed as the General of Feng'an Brigade, stationed in Zhongshoucheng, and was in charge of the internal defense of Tiande Army; Qu Qingquan was appointed as the Fengzhou General and was in charge of Tiande Army's civil affairs. Third, Huang Yiliang also served as the Staff Office's Staff Office. The Northwest Ethnic Research Group led by him was reorganized into the Northwest Ethnic Research Institute, specializing in the study of the politics, military, culture, economy, geography, and customs of the Northwest ethnic groups. The institute was affiliated with the Fengzhou Wubei Academy, and Huang Yiliang was led behind the scenes as an advisor.

Huang Yiliang gave a report on the situation of the northwest border to the meeting. After the report, Yang Hao stood up and set the tone for the meeting: "This meeting is not about whether to fight this battle. The battle must be fought. The other person's knife has been put on our necks. We have no reason to pretend not to see it, and there is no reason to stand still and let someone cut his head. Instead of letting him take a good spirit and rush over and bite us to death, I might as well stab him to death while he has not woken up!

Li Tong beat the table and shouted, "Damn it! I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time and my muscles have become rusted."

Ling Tong pondered, "Is this a trap? Putting 20,000 people in the valley, and horses cannot ride. As long as you use three or five thousand people to block the entrance of the valley, wouldn't you force them to death? This is very contrary to common sense of military use."

Yang Hao said: "General Ling is right. In Miechuan, 120 miles northwest of Poyang Valley, we have 50,000 main cavalry of the Tianlang Army, including a team of 10,000 people from the Wolf Guards directly under the Khan of Changxin. There is a very wide passage through the Wolf Mountain from Miechuan, and they can easily reach the bottom of the Giant Rock Fort. The purpose of their doing this is to attract our attention and make us mistakenly believe that they will march from the Giant Rock Fort, and focus their defense on the Giant Rock Fort. The soldiers are noble, and for the word "God", it is worth the enemy in Poyang Valley to take this risk."

Zhuang Yunqing said: "Poyang Valley is on their own territory. They expected that we would not dare to easily engage in troops with the great Uighur Khanate. These 20,000 people can rest assured."

"As soon as the war begins, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale war with the Uighurs. Is this agenda worth?" Yu Chong said a little depressed, and then he defended himself: "I am not saying that this battle should not be fought. I mean, is there any other way to avoid this battle, or fight later. After all, our total total of less than 20,000 troops is now pacified. The Tiande Army in the east has just been pacified. The barbarian blacks are still ready to move."

The conference room was quiet for a while. Zhuang Yunqing snorted coldly: "The knife is all over the neck, and you still say such things? There is still a glimmer of hope for fighting. If you don't fight, you can only wait to die." Yu Chong's mouth moved, but he swallowed the words back. Ling Tong coughed and said, "Since you have already decided to fight, let's discuss how to send troops."

After deciding the plan of the peace and war, it is the matter of the General Staff Department, but it is of great importance and time is tight. It is also a good thing that the joint discussions between the various departments are also a good thing.

Yang Hao got up to go to the toilet.
