Chapter 590: Pathos


Not to mention that Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng received a huge windfall, and each was secretly overjoyed after adding one to five.

They were stationed in the Jieshi Kingdom, eating and drinking, and waiting for the court's decree.

They were so happy.

After the news of Gao Xianzhi's great victory over Jishi Kingdom spread to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and surrounding countries, Gao Xianzhi's reputation spread all over the world, and his prestige in the Western Regions also matched that of Zhao Ziliang.

His military combat examples were also used by Zhao Ziliang to teach his generals.

In a room on the west side of the Beiting Military Envoy's Mansion, dozens of Beiting military generals were sitting on chairs neatly, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and a pile of military books on the small table in front of them.

Military books have always been regarded as treasures and rare treasures by the general family.

General generals will not teach the art of war to others unless they are direct blood relatives or formal disciples.

This is because the art of war has always been regarded as something that can be produced once mastered.

Extremely destructive knowledge, the fewer people have such knowledge, the greater the harm to the world.

But here in Beiting, since Zhao Ziliang took over the affairs of Beiting and made Wang Zhengjian a puppet, he began to organize Beiting generals and generals to conduct regular military command skills training.

This time Gao Xianzhi won a great victory.

The war cases of the Shiguo were also used as examples and used as material to teach the generals.

Zhao Ziliang stood at the front, with a huge map of the Tang Dynasty hanging behind him and an enlarged version of the map of the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate and surrounding countries hanging next to him.

This map is different from the Kanyu map of the Tang Dynasty.

It looks like it was just drawn.

It uses extremely fine and precise lines to draw the geographical terrain around Congling.

Every hill, river, Streams, peaks, canyons, deep ravines, woods, roads, and mountain trails are all marked.

"The location of Jishi Kingdom is approximately here."

Zhao Ziliang used a slender wooden stick to mark a location with a red circle on the map, and then marked the location of Xiaobolu Kingdom, and said: "This is Xiaobolu Kingdom."

The country of Bolu is located among the high mountains on the snow-covered plateau.

The roads are extremely difficult to navigate and there is ice and snow all year round.

Covering, from Anxi to Xiaobolu, there is a danger of sliding down the abyss at any time on many sections.

The timid people dare not go forward at all.

However, the distance between Jishi Kingdom and Anxi is further than that of Xiaobolu.

Anxi There are two ways for the army to go to the Kingdom of Jishi.

The first way is to take the Zhaowu Kingdom such as Bahanna, Shi Kingdom, Cao Kingdom, etc.

When the country entered the Kingdom of Jishi, the terrain of this road was flat, the marching speed was much faster, and the soldiers would not be very tired; the second road was to go to Congling.

After the army arrived at Xiaobolu, it had to pass through the more difficult all year round.

Snow-covered and steep mountains, deep gorges and rivers, and finally entering the Kingdom of Jishi.

This road has never been taken by large armies.

However, only occasionally monks traveled between Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu through this dangerous road.

It was almost impossible for the army to reach the Kingdom of Jishi through this road, but Gao Xianzhi chose this extremely difficult road and gave up.

The other way is easy.

Why do you think Gao Xianzhi did this?

Who can answer this question?"

About half of the dozens of generals raised their hands.

Zhao Ziliang glanced at the people who raised their hands and found that Noor, a black man who didn't like to use his brain very much, also raised his hands, so he called his name: "Nur, tell me why Gao Xianzhi chose this difficult path."

Nuer stood up and touched his big shiny head and said: "I think there is no other reason except that he is stupid."

Everyone in the room laughed immediately after hearing this: "Hahaha" Looking at Nuer's appearance, Zhao Ziliang's face suddenly looked like he was constipated.

He laughed angrily and said: "Humph, I think your brain is stupid.

If Gao Xianzhi's brain is stupid, no one in this world has a normal brain.

Yes, sit down for me."

Nuer touched his head again and sat down reluctantly, causing everyone to laugh.

Zhao Ziliang coughed twice, and the generals did not dare to laugh anymore.

He glanced at everyone and asked: "Who can tell me why Gao Xianzhi did this?"

When Zhao Ziliang saw Pugu Huaien raising his hand hesitantly, he pointed at him and said, "Pugu Huaien, come and tell me."

Pugu Huai'en didn't dare to think whether the answer he thought was correct, so he was a little unconfident and said: "Maybe it's because Gao Xianzhi has some experience in marching in the mountains of the snow-covered plateau."

Zhao Ziliang listened and said: "This answer is somewhat close, but it is still not the whole answer.

Who else can tell Xuan Yi?

You can tell me."

Xuan Yi stood up and said: "General, I think Gao Xianzhi did this because he could easily be noticed by the Jishi Kingdom by taking another easier path.

The battles of the Jishi Kingdom's army are not vulnerable.

Due to the year-round campaign, despite the The number of troops is not very large, but Gao Xianzhi wants to win with more than 10,000 people, but it is not possible to win in a short time."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, "That's a good answer, Bai Xiaode, please tell me what you think."

Bai Xiaode stood up and said: "The general's views coincide with Xuan Yi's."

Zhao Ziliang pressed his hand and asked them all to sit down, then hung a piece of white paper on the wall, picked up a brush and wrote on it: "Surprise and attack by surprise."

Not many of the dozens of generals in the world are literate, and only half of them can read it out.

Zhao Ziliang put down his brush and said: "This is Gao Xianzhi's tactical idea for attacking the Kingdom of Jishi.

It would be more appropriate to attack it by surprise, or to add a thousand-mile attack.

This tactical idea is actually not unusual.

Our country has been at war with Tubo for many years.

All the leading generals have used this For example, General Li, the king of Xin'an, used this method to attack Shibao City thousands of miles away.

Tubo also used the same method and tactics when they robbed Shibao City.

Tactics will never become outdated.

It depends on how you use methods that the enemy does not expect.

Sudden appearance at the enemy's back to attack, passing through Asuka from Anzai On the Congling Plateau, they made a long-distance attack on the Jishi Kingdom.

The kings and ministers of the Jishi Kingdom thought that it was impossible for the Tang army to come here because no one could do it, but Gao Xianzhi did it.

This is because he has rich experience in marching in the mountains. , he dared to take this path, if it were someone else , I don’t have the courage to do this at all.

Therefore, if you want to implement a certain tactic, you must ensure that there are conditions for it.

If there are no conditions and you want to implement a tactic, you must find a way to create conditions.

If it doesn’t work, then you can only rest assured, otherwise Not only can we not win the battle, we are afraid that we will lose it before the battle even begins.”

After the class was over, the generals all said goodbye and left.

As soon as Zhao Ziliang returned to the house, he saw Wang Can waiting in the lobby and asked, "What's the news?"

Wang Can said: "The imperial court issued a decree, ordering Gao Xianzhi's squadron to return to Anxi, and canonized Botemei's brother Sujia as the new Jishi King.

In addition, there is also news that the former Jiannan Jiedushi and the current Hubu Shangshu Zhangchou Jianqiong After he died of illness, Xianyu Zhongtong succeeded him as the Jiannan Jiedushi envoy.

Yang Guifei's brother Yang Zhao asked the emperor to change his name.

The emperor named him Yang Guozhong and allowed him to travel as the Jiannan Jiedushi envoy."

After saying that, Wang Can took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands and said: "This is the letter that General Wang Zhongsi wrote to the general before his death last year.

Because of the changing circumstances and the long journey, it has not been sent here until now.

General Wang Before his death, he will The army happened to lead troops to meet Princess Hera in the Kingdom of Dashi.

After returning, he had a quarrel with Wang Zhengjian.

The subordinates did not think of it at the time, until the son of General Wang sent someone to deliver this letter.

I just remembered it and came here to report it.”

Zhao Ziliang stared at the letter in Wang Can's hand, feeling sad and suddenly furious: "Why are you reporting such a big thing now?"

Wang Can felt ashamed and bowed down: "I have neglected my duty and asked the general to punish me."

Zhao Ziliang also knew that Wang Can was not to blame for this matter.

He had just returned from Dashi Country last year and had a rift with Wang Zhengjian.

The two sides were suspicious of each other and fought openly and secretly.

At that time, both sides were so busy that they had no time to pay attention to these things.

Therefore, This matter was also forgotten by Wang Can and others.

After sighing, Zhao Ziliang helped Wang Can up and said, "Forget it, I can't blame you for this, just get up."

Wang Can choked up and said: "Thank you, General, for your kindness."

Zhao Ziliang took the letter and opened it and read it.

Wang Zhongsi said in the letter that Zhao Ziliang was the only one in the world who understood him.

With such a confidant in his life, how could he ask for anything?

Emperor, it’s only because he doesn’t know how to be a minister, how to advance and retreat, that he ends up like this At the end, he said that his mission had been completed, and it was up to Zhao Ziliang next.

He hoped that he could serve as the mainstay of the Tang army and maintain the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty.

He felt that Anlu Mountain in the north seemed to be disobedient, and Anlu Mountain He also served as the military envoy of several towns and was the chief official among the officials of the border areas.

Once this person has different intentions, he is afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be in danger.

He hopes that Zhao Ziliang will keep an eye on Anlu Mountain.

Once this person rebels, he must be eliminated in time to prevent him from causing harm to the Central Plains.

Zhao Ziliang sighed after reading the letter.

When Wang Zhongsi wrote this letter, he had been demoted several times and was in an extremely difficult situation.

Even in that environment, he was still worried about the Tang Dynasty.

This is a truly loyal general. , It is a pity that Emperor Xuanzong was so jealous that he could not even see through Li Linfu's clumsy tricks, and he harmed a generation of famous generals in vain.

Wang Zhongsi did not write about his situation in the letter, nor did he mention anything about his appointment in Handong County.

After reading the letter, Zhao Ziliang looked up and asked: "How did General Wang Zhongsi die?"

Wang Can shook his head and said: "General Wang has sent people to investigate this matter, but no news has come yet.

However, according to the person sent by General Wang's son to deliver the letter, General Wang died suddenly, as if violently.

When the general asked him about the death of General Wang, he just shook his head, obviously he was quite taboo about the death of General Wang."

Zhao Ziliang was in a daze for a moment.

Judging from the behavior of the person who sent the message, there must be something fishy about Wang Zhongsi's death.

The other party was unwilling to tell, because he definitely didn't want to cause trouble.

Only now did he truly understand the feeling of sadness for a rabbit dying and a fox:
