Chapter 282 Draw the salary from the bottom of the pot

"Bold! How dare you lie about the military situation!" Duan Xiushi shouted: "The new defeat of the Great Food Country has lost 5,000 cavalry and is still breathing. How can there be cavalry to sneak up on our heavy weapons! Moreover, there are 2,000 Tang troops escorted, and tens of thousands of Ge Lulu and Bahan's sergeants are protected. How can they break through?!"

"General's anger!" The sergeants kowtowed and replied with tears, "We are the captains who guarded the heavy guards. The great food cavalry attacked at night, and the horse stepped on the battalion of the soldiers and burned the heavy. We waited for the death to rescue, which is worth one-tenth!"

"Come on!" Gao Xianzhi patted the table and said, "Drag these people who disturbed the hearts of the army out and cut them!"

The generals of the Tang army quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "The general calmed his anger, and the brothers of the heavy battalion fought desperately. Please forgive them for their lives!"

Duan Xiushi also whispered to Gao Xianzhi, "Now is the time to use people. Let's have a serious meal and avoid the death penalty."

Gao Xianzhi thought for a moment and nodded. To the captains who reported the news, he said, "I should have been executed by military law, but the soldiers begged for mercy. It was not easy to refute the face of these meritorious officials and pushed out to blame 50 military sticks to serve as an example."

Aken was shocked and secretly calculated that it was a strange soldier arranged by the wise man of the other party. It was estimated that it was the main force of the cavalry of another great cannibal. Originally, it was intended to attack Gao Xianzhi's main force during the decisive battle. As soon as he was calculated by his own side, he temporarily changed his combat thinking and took the opportunity to attack the Tang army's back road!

He immediately reported this situation to Zhang Fan and said the power of the other wise man.

Zhang Fan was celebrating the victory of the Tang army in Los City. After thinking about it, he said, "This incident reminds us that the context of history is not so easy to change. However, we took away the grain and fodder in the city of Lus, and the Tang army would not be hungry. It's not too bad. It's just that those new defeats may not work too hard in the future. The Great Food State has gathered tens of thousands of Hu troops, and the number is still increasing. I'm afraid the military strength is unfavorable to us. I have a way to draw money from the bottom of the pot, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Aken thought for a moment and seemed to be a little bit. But his thoughts didn't fly that far, so he asked, "What can I do?"

"This method is called making Hu! So...so..." Zhang Fan was criticized.

After listening to this, Aken's eyes widened. what a trick! This is the guy with 150 understanding, who can focus on the overall situation. And a high-intelligent person like himself, who is good at calculation, can only make small trouble.

So he sighed, "I'm not as good as you..."

"I'm also in this area. After reading the successive war reports and recalling the historical data, I thought of it. I don't know whether it's okay or not..." Zhang Fan smiled.

Aken then stood up and said to Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi, "Congratulations General, General He Xi!"

Gao Xianzhi saw that the meritorious minister was crazy, but it was not easy to get angry. She frowned and said, "Our army has lost food and fodder. It's a great disaster. What's the happy thing? Don't talk nonsense."

Duan Xiushi nodded. This clever guy knew that he was going to clean up his low military heart now.

Aken said, "General, the great food country suddenly broke out of war and destroyed our army's food and grass. But if our army hadn't swallowed up their strong brigade, how could it have caused this strange soldier to appear? If this strange soldier does not show up, when will he appear and hit our army hard? Our army not only annihilated one of their elite troops in the first battle! And it also exposed all their cards. Isn't this a celebration!"

Gao Xianzhi thought that although it was a little far-fetched, it was true. If this strange soldier doesn't come out now, I'm afraid it will have a decisive effect to make a sudden attack at the critical time of the battle in the future!

"What's more, our army has captured the granary of Talos City, and the grain and fodder are worry-free. And all the combat power of the Great Food Kingdom is now under our eyes. The only decisive battle with our army is right in the arms of our army.

"Our army destroyed their 5,000 elite horsemen in the first battle, and the main force is weaker than us. Only those who rely on it, the allied forces of Zhuhu. However, a group of rabble is just a large number of people, which is just a little annoying. Speaking of this, Akenton paused.

"There will be a plan that can break their Hu allied forces and let the army of Dashiguo fight with our army alone!" As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, but the depression that had just been destroyed was swept away.

Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi looked at each other and were surprised. Although the combat effectiveness of the Hu coalition is not strong, the number of people is large, but they also need to be distracted. For example, at a critical moment, they may still become a power to turn things up, but they can't be underestimated. How can Aken not make their hearts move when they hear that they can solve this problem?

Duan Xiashi waved his hand, withdrew the table of the Chinese army's tent, and asked the generals to retreat outside to drink.

When Aken saw that there were no outsiders, he arched his hand and said, "General, these soldiers are good at bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Now that the new soldiers are defeated, I'm afraid the combat effectiveness will be weaker in the future..." Without other officers, Aken no longer speaks bluntly and speaks bluntly.

Duan Xiushi nodded, "Oh, that's right."

"The Geluolu tribe still had different intentions, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not change again. Nearly 40,000 horses stayed with him to pay for food and fodder..." Aken continued to say bad things.

"..." Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiu were speechless.

"Why don't they go back..." Aken stopped for a moment, and the two generals frowned.

"Go back and let them plunder themselves and plunder those who help the great food country! While those Hu soldiers are fighting here, their own territory defense is empty, and whoever fights the territory belongs to. Tang Jun made the decision for them and delayed the Hu army..." Acon said here, and the two famous Tang generals looked happy.

Duan Xiu really thought for a moment and said, "The power of these soldiers is too poor. I don't know how long it will take to attack the territory of Zhuhu from here? When they take action, it's almost over here!"

"It's easy to give them all the horsemen of our infantry, and it is estimated that they can arm nearly 20,000 cavalry, plus their own, which is enough for them to sweep the Western Regions."

Duan Xiushi nodded, "Our army can first extract strength from their existing personnel and expand our military personnel. Then give them the horses and form cavalry to plunder other anti-Tang tribes. The infantry who can't leave will stay, and they can also fight.

"However, those horses were purchased by our sergeants themselves, so that we can supplement some from the military supplies. In addition to the loss of our soldiers, they can't afford it.

Gao Xianzhi listened to them and nodded, "That's the only way, otherwise we can't afford to lose so many soldiers. The damage also requires us to pay a pension, which can not only draw money from the bottom of the pot, reduce the resistance of the other party, and make them think about their hometown and have no intention of fighting. It's a great plan to kill two birds without burdening the expenses of these soldiers.

"This plan can be called a national strategy, but have you figured it out?" Gao Xianzhi asked.

"It was what Zhang Sanjun told me before. This time this incident happened precisely because it was an opportunity to report it to the general." Aken answered honestly.

Gao Xianzhi nodded and discussed with Duan Xiushi. After a while, the plan had been agreed, and Duan Xiushi quickly went down to arrange it.

Duan Xiushi organized the uninjured Arab war horses and formed a cavalry force of nearly 1,000 people, and the rest of the war horses were given to the Geluo tribe, who lost some cavalry in this battle.

After waiting for the two ethnic groups to come together, Gao Xianzhi called the leaders of the two tribes and told them about Zhang Fan's plan. He said that as long as they can seize how much land they can, it is their own. The Tang Dynasty will never interfere, and even the king of Tang will issue an edict to recognize it! But the robbery must be Zhuhu against the Tang army!

As soon as this statement came out, the two tribes were overjoyed, so that they did not have to fight with the fierce food country, but also could openly plunder the land, and the Tang army helped them hold back the Hu army. Where can I find such a good thing? I just hate that my horses are not enough, and the cavalry without fast mobility quickly go to grab the territory. I'm afraid the other party will take the lead.

"You don't have to worry about the war horse. The Tang army infantry all have private horses. We will give a military order to sell private horses to you at cost price. Whoever buys more horses will take advantage of it!"

Duan Xiushi is a master in dealing with the Hu people. After a few words, Ge Lulu and the Bahan tribe can't wait to rush out to grab horses now. What is the money for buying horses? How much land and property can one more horse can rob?

Zhang Fan's strategy of using Hu has greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the two tribes, which not only affected this battle, but also has an immeasurable impact on the historical development of the Western Regions in the future! In the future, the chaos in the Western Regions is far-reaching and unpredictable.

The two tribes competed and each spent money to buy the private horses of the Tang army infantry, but made those sergeants make a small profit. Only those cavalrymen are hated so much that their horses can't be sold.

Those horses can't be used as war horses, and the impact is not enough. But the better is good endurance, but it is only responsible for handling these strong men to their destination. They deal with civilians and don't need to be so professional.

The Tang army selected 3,000 strong soldiers among the two tribes and assigned them to light infantry. The two tribes put together nearly 30,000 cavalry, all of whom were used to killing and arson. The Geluo tribe has long been unable to resist and can't wait to kill the clan that they have evild with.

In this way, there are still more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled left to be supported by Tang Jun. Strangely, the powerful Ye Hu did not follow him back and took the remaining Ge Lulu tribal soldiers to assist the Tang army. Most of the left were sergeants of powerful tribes, and even gave their horses to the soldiers of the other two tribes.

The ten Bahan cavalry under the Green Wings actually didn't go! No matter what the tribal leader of Bahan threatened, this was the elite of the looting, but they still followed Green Wing, the lieutenant of the Tang army.

Bachena originally had more cavalry than the Geluolu tribe, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers were put into the city of Talos to assist in the city defense.
