"Su Shuai."
Lou Shide stood up and saluted Su Dawei.is called Su Shuai, naturally not because he is handsome or anything, but because Su Dawei is not handsome.The recent series of achievements, everyone feels in their hearts that it is no longer appropriate to call Su Dawei a battalion, or a school captain.There is no more appropriate name, so let's call Su Shuai.to show the difference with Lou Shide and others.For Su Dawei, Lou Shide is now completely convinced.The bonfire in the tent was blazing, and the pot of mutton soup on top was already cooked, and the soup was boiling and exuding a rich aroma.Wang Xiaojie found a pottery bowl and filled a large bowl for Su Dawei, sprinkled with dotted wild vegetables and tea leaves.The plump fat of the mutton is mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables, which makes people's appetite move."
Su Shuai, take a sip of hot soup."
Wang Xiaojie held the soup with both hands and said respectfully.Su Dawei took it, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Sit down, don't stand." ”"Whoa.""
Don't be nervous."
Su Dawei couldn't laugh or cry, he took the lead and sat down, and the rest of the people sat down.Nie Su is now Su Dawei's personal soldier and will not leave an inch.Kneeling beside Su Dawei, pressing the sword with his hand, he was quite a bit of a calm momentum that was not angry and arrogant.The army is indeed the most tempering place.Su Dawei took a sip of hot soup and chatted casually with his subordinates, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.What they now occupy is the tribal tent of the original Mukun Tribe.As for the Mukun Division, more than 10,000 people were killed, but there was no place for the army to settle in.The Mukun Division, including the chiefs, were all prisoners of the Tang Army.And the treasures, cattle, horses, and sheep in the tribe have already been distributed by the Tang Army one by one according to the size of their merits.The Tang army was not interested in war horses, cattle and sheep, which could be used as military rations, but was not interested in the rest.Most of the goods and women of the Mukun tribe were cheaper than the servant army of those small tribes.The night was silent, and if you listened closely, you could faintly hear some strange sounds coming from outside the tent.It was the voice of the women of the tribe, a whimper mixed with pain and pleasure.Nie Su, who was kneeling behind Su Dawei, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his face crimson.Lou Shide glanced at Nie Su, then at Su Dawei, and said in a low voice: "Su Shuai, do you want to restrain those Hu people?"
”"It doesn't matter, this is their custom, the victor enjoys everything, we are the guest army, and the main task is to deal with the Eastern Turks, so there is no need to cause more trouble.""
Yes."
Lou Shide nodded.Of course, he understood in his heart that the battle in the past few days was certainly a great victory, but these Hu servants also suffered great losses, more than 20,000 Hu horsemen, and nearly 10,000 people were killed in the battle.With the habits of the steppe people, the battle losses of more than 20% are already a great setback.These Hu people did not collapse on the spot and form a rout, and they were already considered to be Lou Shide's ability to control the army.At the most dangerous time, Lou Shide personally held the Mo knife and pressed the formation in the back.Those who dare to turn around and flee will face the killing and poking of Tang Junmo's knife.Most of the Hu people who turned around and wanted to flee were crushed by the Tang army who dismounted and lined up in a strange knife formation.Therefore, the Hu people did not dare to flee south.I had to rush forward and pounce on the top one after another.In addition, Cui Qi and Lu Juan led the elite Tang army to contain them from the side, which barely stabilized their position.This Hu servant army relied on the power of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang army to lead them to victory for days, constantly plundering sharp weapons, killing pokes, and women, so that they could be united.If they do not make post-war "compensation", the subsequent battles will be demoralized."
Captain Lou."
Su Dawei lifted the broth inside, and smiled at Lou Shide: "You have made great contributions to this battle, if you hadn't successfully dragged the main force of the Mukun Division, we would never have been able to win, this place is simple, let me replace the wine with soup, and toast you." ”"Hahaha, it's a soup instead of wine."
Wang Xiaojie slapped his legs and laughed on the side.I laughed twice, felt out of shape, and hurriedly shut up.Su Dawei also raised a bowl to him and said: "Secondly, I also want to respect the king's team, this time I go back, the court will definitely reward you, and your official positions will definitely be moved up." ”As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaojie's face showed joy.If you are lucky, you can take over Lou Shide's position and sit as a captain.This is a real reward for military merits.He is not like Lou Shide, he is a scholar who took the imperial examination and was born as a jinshi.If you want to be promoted, you can only rely on the knife and gun in your hand, and you can get out one knife at a time.And it is not easy to make meritorious contributions.Tens of thousands of military horses in Datang, how many people can make great achievements like this time?
The three of them touched it with a clay bowl, and each took a sip despite the fact that the soup was still hot.Wang Xiaojie was so hot that his tongue was sticking out, but he was still happy in his heart."
It's a pity that Cui Qi and Lu Juan are not here, otherwise we will get together for a drink and work faster.""
That's natural, when I return to Chang'an, I will definitely invite you to go to the drunken flower building to have a good drink!""
Hahaha, definitely."
Su Dawei laughed a few words, and then looked serious: "Let's talk about the next action, although our army has a preliminary foothold, but the follow-up action is the real test." ”As soon as they heard Su Dawei mention the war, Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie stiffened their backs: "Su Shuai, please speak." ”"The battle with the Mukun Department is over, our army needs to digest the military horses collected by the Mukun Department as soon as possible, and the more than 10,000 people can continue to strengthen our strength, and scatter them, so that their lower-level soldiers can identify the middle and lower-level generals, that is, those ten-captains, centurions, if necessary, they can kill a batch."
What Su Dawei said was the proper meaning of the question.Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide nodded again and again."
After that, you can promote some of the Hu servant generals who have shown courage in this battle, and let them command the scattered Mukun Division."
Lou Shide nodded again and again.He was born in the entrance examination, and he has a lot of strategy in his chest, so he naturally understands that what Su Dawei said is not a new method.But being able to think of it so quickly is easy to come by, and it is said that Su Dawei is only a bad person and has not been in school, which has to make Lou Shide admire."
In order to show themselves, those small tribe generals will definitely keep an eye on the cavalry of the Mukun Division, and the Mukun Department is scattered, and the original lower-level generals are removed, so they can't make trouble, Su Shuai is really the way of the dark art of war.""
Hehe, but this plan will also weaken the combat power to a certain extent, but we don't have time, the lesser of two evils, let's do it first.""
Su Shuai, there is still a fight?"
Wang Xiaojie sniffed out the taste of his words, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a look of eagerness to try."
I once said that laying down the Mukunbu is only the first step in this trip, helping us to gain a foothold in this grassland, whether we can really stand still depends on the follow-up."
Su Shuai meant to ......
The Turks are coming?
”"It's time to come, too."
Su Dawei's eyes looked through the firelight and cast it outside the tent, the dark night.It was as if there were thousands of troops and horses, stepping on the night."
Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, the Western Turks are not so weak, they will not be so willing to fail, they will definitely send troops, at least they will try our catties, this battle will be a real hard bone, and it is also our next, the biggest test."
Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide pricked up their ears and listened attentively.After seeing Su Dawei's previous strategy and succeeding in the first battle, the two no longer dared to take Su Dawei's plan lightly."
Fighting against the Mu Kun Department before, do you think it was quite easy to win?"
Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide looked at each other, and their faces showed a little embarrassment that Su Dawei had told him what was going on.Su Dawei didn't care, and said calmly: "In all battles, you must calculate the temple, first seek to be invincible, and then win." ”This is a military book, it is simple to say, but the paper is shallow after all, how to turn the words in the book into your own things, live and learn to use, is the ability.And Su Dawei happened to have this opportunity.Sending troops from Chang'an last year, along the way, he had the opportunity to see the military composition of the Tang Army with his own eyes, and how the world's first-class generals, such as Su Dingfang and Cheng Zhijie, arranged the military strategy.I have also heard it with my own ears, and several famous generals of the Tang Dynasty have heated debates in the military tents, and they have their own strategies for using troops.This can be called the Datang version of brainstorming.There is a better chance to get the personal guidance of Cheng Zhijie, Su Dingfang, An Wensheng and others.Sometimes it's a sentence or two, sometimes it's a long talk.Many things, the foundation has been laid, and what is missing is an epiphany by chance.What is missing is a kick in the door.All theories and ideas must eventually fall into actual combat.And this time with more than 500 Tang troops out of Jinshan, it is an excellent battlefield for Su Dawei.God gave him a chance to show what he had learned.And facts have proved that his current use of the art of war, even though it is not as good as the world's first-class generals, but for Shangmu Kunbu, he is completely playing with the palm of his hand.The 30,000 people in the Mukun Department, as well as the whole clan, if they knew that their defeat was from the mouth of a bad commander in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, before the war, they had already arranged everything clearly, but they were afraid that they would be angry and had nowhere to vent."
Captain Lou, and Wang Teamzheng, do you know where our army won in the battle against Mukun?"
Su Dawei was still unhurried, drinking mutton soup while asking seemingly casually.These words made Wang Xiaojie a little confused.Based on his understanding of Su Dawei during this time, Su Shuai is not a person who likes to brag about himself, so what does he mean by asking?
Lou Shide thought for a while and said, "It's time, taking advantage of the time difference." ”Su Dawei glanced at him, nodded happily, and said, "Not bad." ”He put down the soup bowl, randomly drew a circle on the ground with his fingers, and clicked two more points."
Hu people are powerful, we only have more than 500 people, weak, the key to this battle is time, time is a tool, the strength of the two sides, not incompatible, but dynamic, like water is changing.My idea is to start by trying to conquer the small tribes, collect manpower, and then conquer the medium tribes through the pooled manpower.Although we don't have as many people in the Tang Army as they are, we choose every time we go on the battlefield and when we do it.That is to say, at the right time and on the chosen battlefield, we will concentrate superior forces and attack the tribes that are relatively weaker than us.With this, the first servant army was gathered, and our strength began to increase greatly.There is a key point in this, which is the time mentioned earlier.You see......"
Su Dawei's hand drew a line on it."
We came out of Jinshan, and if we had to go in a straight line to Mukunbu, it would take about seven days.This is the first time difference, that is to say, we attack the surrounding small tribes, even if the Mukun Department gets the news from the first day, not counting the time for them to think and react, even if the troops are sent out on the same day, it will take half a month.In this half a month, it is enough for us to unify the small tribes in the south of the alloy mountain and gather a large army that is enough to fight.In fact, by the time we fought against the Mukun Division, there were 20,000 Hu servants in our hands.Although there are still not as many people as Mukunbu, they are already worthy of a battle. ”()
