In the early morning of the next day, Li Wu, who borrowed 5,000 cavalry from Li Yanzong, led 5,000 cavalry to the west early in the morning, when Li Yanzong found out, Li Wu led this army has already run away, the reason why Li Wu acted so fast is that he is afraid that Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren will suddenly regret it, when Li Wu led 5,000 cavalry to run out for nearly 100 miles before stopping to rest, facing the 5,000 cavalry he borrowed, Li Wu's heart was full of pride, this was Li Wu's first time on the battlefield, and it was also the first army commanded by Li Wu.
Although the 5,000 cavalry was under the command of Li Wu, Li Yanzong also assigned Li Wu a general, this general named Gao Rui was only in his twenties, and the reason why Yang Rui was able to obtain such a high position at such a young age was not only related to his military exploits, but also related to Gao Rui's family background; The Gao family is a traditional party nobleman, and Gao Huaichang, the judicial envoy of the Judicial Yuan, is Gao Rui's uncle, thanks to the cultivation of the family, Gao Rui has been a civil and military all-rounder since he was a child, and he has repeatedly made military exploits when he joined the army, and he can guess this position now.
This time, Gao Rui was able to follow Li Wu to fight, and Gao Rui's heart was very excited; But just a few days ago, Gao Rui didn't see Li Wu in his eyes, and the reason why Gao Rui admired Li Wu was not because of the identity of Li Wu's prince, but because Li Wu saved the tens of thousands of troops in the desert, and Li Wu's matter of cutting his wrists to save his brother also spread among the army.
Gao Rui rode on his war horse to catch up with Li Wu and said: "Your Highness, now we have run out for nearly a hundred miles, even if the brothers can resist, the war horse can't stand it, let's take a rest."
Li Wu touched the war horse under his crotch, so he said to Gao Rui: "Okay, then let's take a rest."
Li Wu led the 5,000 cavalry to the west along the Ergiz, and now the army is stationed by the river for correction; Gao Rui poured a pot of water from the river and brought it to Li Wu and asked, "Your Highness, where are we going to leave the army?"
Li Wu drank the imported water and said to Gao Rui: "We will go all the way west to attack the old nest of the Naiban tribe; General Gao, I haven't commanded an army before, so I still have you to call the shots on a lot of things."
"Your Highness has tormented the villain, what is the matter, just ask Your Highness."
Gao Rui said very humbly.
Li Wu took out a map from his bosom and spread it on the ground and said: "With only our five thousand cavalry, even if we are exhausted, it is impossible for us to completely destroy the nest of the Nabarian tribe, after all, the territory here is too big, so we need to find an ally." ” Gao Rui was very shocked and said: "Your Highness plans to unite with someone, if you don't get it right, you may be burned."
Li Wu said to Gao Rui: "In the area north of the Yili River, there is a nomadic Qarluq, this is a group of warmongers, who once dominated the entire Western Regions during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and established a powerful Qarluq leaf protectorate, and now they have been subservient to the Black Khan Dynasty and are constantly oppressed, do you think they will be willing?"
"But Your Highness, the Qarluq people and the Black Khan Dynasty are of the same ancestry, and they are all descendants of the Turks, let them rebel against the Black Khan Dynasty, the last general will feel a little risky, if they are trapped, we will be miserable."
Gao Rui said to Li Wu.
Li Wu sneered: "The Black Khan Dynasty is a huge and fragile product in my eyes, if it weren't for Suleiman's support, I'm afraid the entire Black Khan Dynasty would have collapsed long ago." ” "The last general is dull, please ask Your Highness for advice."
Gao Rui asked Li Wu for advice very humbly.
Li Wu explained to Gao Rui: "Although the Black Khan Dynasty seemed to be powerful, in fact, there were not many internal contradictions, the main ethnic group of the Black Khan Dynasty was the Uighurs who moved westward to believe in religion, and the arrival of the Uighurs destroyed the Qarluq Protectorate, making the Qarluqs their vassals, as well as the Turgish; In addition, more than ten years ago, there was a serious civil war in the Black Khan Dynasty, when it was not for Suleiman to turn the tide, I am afraid that the entire Black Khan Dynasty would have been split long ago, and now under Suleiman's forced rule, although the Black Khan Dynasty seems to be very strong, but its internal problems are not small, once there is no strong ruler, the Black Khan Dynasty may fall apart in an instant. ” After listening to Li Wu's analysis, Gao Rui agreed very much, for a long time in this land in the Western Regions, there have been various ethnic groups and many nomadic tribes, although there have been powerful dynasties here for a period of time, but the internal strife has never been broken, this is a magical and special land, it is at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, religions and nationalities, peace is short-lived for the people living here.
And now Li Wu's arrival will once again break the peaceful life on this land, after a day of rest, Li Wu continued to lead five thousand cavalry along the Ergis River westward, on the way they crossed the steppe, Gobi and desert, after trekking more than a thousand miles, the army finally arrived at Zaisangbo, here is a wetland, from here along the Ergiz River to the north, this road is the core grassland area belonging to the barbarian department, here is a vast area, Li Wu's five thousand cavalry can not even turn up a wave.
In the middle of the night, Li Wu led five thousand cavalry to emerge from his hiding place, after several days of marching Li Wu and their military rations had already been eaten, and they must get food tonight, otherwise they will only be hungry tomorrow; Gao Rui rode a war horse to Li Wu's side and said, "Your Highness, I found a tribe in front, which seems to be a big tribe with more than a thousand tents. ” Li Wu said with some excitement: "Let's go and have a look." ” Under the leadership of Gao Rui, Li Wu came to a hillside not far from the tribal camp, lying on the grass and going up and down the countryside to overlook, the real tribe has a panoramic view, because the grass is high and far away at night, so Li Wu and the others will not be found at all; Li Wu asked Gao Rui: "How many guards are there in this tribe, is it a tribe of barbarians, let's not be mistaken." ” "You can't be wrong."
Gao Rui said to Li Wu: "Your Highness, where do you still see the banner that is unique to barbarians?"
"That's good, if you solve this tribe, you can let the brothers have a good meal."
Li Wu said to Gao Rui; "After eating jerky and pot helmets for so many days, I'm tired of eating them for a long time."
"Then what are you waiting for, Your Highness, I will lead the troops to destroy them."
Gao Rui said to Li Wu.
Li Wu stopped Gao Rui and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late for us to do it when they fall asleep in the second half of the night, now we don't know the situation in the tribe, we must take down this tribe at the lowest cost, and we can't let anyone run out, otherwise we will be miserable once we are discovered by the barbarians." ” "The last will understand."
Gao Rui said to Li Wu.
Li Wu thought for a while and said to Gao Rui: "After a while, we will first send people to solve their sentinels, and then you and I will each lead two thousand men and horses to attack from two different directions, and the remaining one thousand people will form an encirclement from the outside, and none of them can be allowed to run out." ” "Yes, the general understands, I'll arrange it."
Gao Rui said to Li Wu with a smile.
