Turbulent Times Chapter 1625: The messenger Cheng Yaojin

Half a day later, Li Shimin saw that Duan Zhixuan brought back less than 20,000 troops, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink.

He gave Duan Zhixuan 50,000 elite troops, and at the same time Zhu Can's 100,000 horsemen cooperated. Zhu Can paid 30,000 horsemen as bait to lure Cheng Yaojin to lead 20,000 cavalry to take the initiative to attack, and even lured them to the front of the mountain. Surrounded by their large army, they thought that even if they would lose a lot, they would be able to destroy the 20,000 people no matter what, but who would have thought that the result would be just the opposite. In one day, only one-third of them were killed, and their losses were quite heavy, but even so, they still had the confidence to kill Cheng Yaojin's men, at worst, they would lose more.

It's just that, who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin's 20,000 men were themselves bait, and they lost more than 30,000 people in the end, and the 100,000 people led by Zhu Can were directly disabled.

This is obviously not the result Li Shimin wants to see.

To be honest, if Li Xiong from Qushi City hadn't destroyed Xie Yingdeng's 10,000 Wagang Battalion infantry, Li Shimin would have lost everything in this battle.

"Second Young Master, I have a heavy trust in my humble position, and I lost more than 30,000 elites. Please Second Young Master punish me." Duan Zhixuan turned pale, and knelt down to plead guilty to Li Shimin.

"Zhixuan, get up! I already know what happened. I can't blame you for this. It's because we didn't have enough information about the Wagang Camp, and we made a mistake in estimating its combat power." He quickly recovered his composure, sighed calmly, and helped Duan Zhixuan up.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Seeing that Li Shimin didn't blame him, Duan Zhixuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took advantage of the situation, and then asked, "What should we do now?"

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "I never thought that the Wagang Battalion would be so powerful in less than a year after serving in the Far Eastern Army. If we want to win this victory now, we may have to use all the foreshadowing we have in Sichuan and Sichuan." Already."

Duan Zhixuan was shocked when he heard the words, and asked with some doubts: "Young master, the barbarian king of the Yueyi barbarians is not small. Is this plan too dangerous to lure the Yueyi barbarians out of the mountain?"

Li Shimin sneered and said: "That barbarian king was able to dominate the Yue barbarians because of my support, and maybe other people's secret support. He alone is at most the overlord of the Yue barbarians. He came out of the mountain,

Afterwards, at most, they looted a batch of things and returned to the mountains. After all, the foundation of the Yueyi barbarians was still in the mountains. "

Duan Zhixuan hesitated for a while, and asked: "My lord, in this way, many people will inevitably suffer and suffer."

Li Shimin glanced at Duan Zhixuan, and said decisively: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you go down immediately and prepare, take someone to go there in person, and meet the Yuexi barbarian king, no matter what the conditions are, you might as well agree to him first, As long as you can get the Yueyi barbarian king to send troops."

Duan Zhixuan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "I obey my orders."

………

In the Minshu region, the roads are rugged and the mountains and rivers are densely covered.

There are hundreds of large and small villages of Yueman tribes.

As early as the Han Dynasty, the Yueyi barbarians had caused a lot of rebellion, and the past dynasties had also suppressed the Yueyi barbarians. However, if the government wants to go into the mountains to suppress the Yueyi barbarians, it must have a suitable place to transfer supplies.

In Min and Shu, the place with the most abundant resources is Shu County. After all, the reputation of the land of abundance is not something that comes out of thin air. But this is a battle against Vietnam. If the materials are transported from Shu County at that time, not only will there be too little time, but it will require a lot of manpower and material resources.

If this was in the prosperous period of the Sui Dynasty, as long as there were powerful people to promote it, it would not be a big deal, but in today's troubled times, it is almost impossible.

And taking advantage of the suppression by the imperial court and the local government and county soldiers over the years, the Yueyi barbarians, with the secret support of many forces, have developed rapidly in terms of population, economy, production, and army.

"General Xu, General Cheng, according to our military intelligence office's investigation, the barbarian king of Yuexi not only has been secretly supported by the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce led by Yang Kongchan under the prince's command, but also with Li Shimin's people and Xiaozhu's people in the south. There is a connection, so this time we need to take precautions to borrow troops.” There is a stockade at the junction of the Han Chinese gathering area in the Minshu area and the Yueyi Mountain where the Yueyi barbarians live. As early as the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Jian, There is a mixed bag of good and bad people here, bandits, fugitives, horse thieves, water thieves, martial arts gangs and other desperadoes, and even Yueyue barbarians.

However, few people know that this place has been jointly controlled by Fanyang Chamber of Commerce and Xiaoyu Theater five years ago. It seems that there are no major changes on the surface, but in essence it has changed.

Now Xu Shiji leads more than 20,000 people to station here

Li, and not being known to outsiders, is enough to prove that this place has already become a special base of the Far East Army.

At this time, in the largest courtyard of the village, Shen Guang, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin and others were having a meal and discussing matters, and it was Shen Guang who spoke just now.

"So at this time, Li Shimin's envoy and even Xiao Tong's envoy may already be in the barbarian mountain city, and they are also the guests of the barbarian king." Xu Shiji frowned slightly. The order sent mentioned that the Yuemen barbarians could be borrowed, but the specific situation was not mentioned. These matters were all contacted and provided by Shen Guang.

Shen Guang said with a smile: "My lord said that this matter should be handled by General Cheng, and it should be done beautifully."

Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji were startled, they looked at each other without revealing anything, but they were full of emotion in their hearts.

The two of them are old partners. After listening to what Shen Guang said about the situation, they already have a tacit understanding. Wang Junlin had already made arrangements for this.

This is actually not the first time, sometimes Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji really can't figure out why Wang Junlin knows them so well.

………

………

Ten mule carts were connected end to end, and a hundred special forces experts rode on horses to **** them on both sides. Cheng Yaojin and Shen Guang rode horses, parallel in front, along the mountain road, and went deep into Siman Mountain.

Cheng Yaojin and Shen Guang were the envoys of the Far East Army, and the food, porcelain, iron and other items in the ten naked carts were a gift to the barbarian king.

Cheng Yaojin chatted with Shen Guang casually, and said with a casual smile: "Master Shen, we have a lot of vehicles in this team, and we will definitely be discovered by Li Shimin's spies. Do you think there will be people robbed and killed along the way?" Us."

Shen Guang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "General Cheng's words are very true. This journey will definitely not be peaceful, but we have brought a hundred experts from the Special Forces, and there are spies from the Military Intelligence Office in secret. The civilian husband of the car is dressed up by General Cheng's personal soldiers, so there will be no problem, after all, in the territory of the barbarians, neither we nor Li Shimin can dispatch too many troops, otherwise it will arouse the disgust of the barbarian king , which is not conducive to the subsequent borrowing of troops."
