Chapter 285 Manager Jia Zi
Ashina Helu's surprise attack made Datang furious.
"Send troops!"
In the hall, the prime ministers were roaring.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others discussed that the cavalry will set out from Chang'an, and the government soldiers will be recruited on the spot to raid the Helu tribe!"
Li Zhi pondered.
The prime ministers exchanged opinions quickly, and Changsun Wuji got up and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible."
Li Zhi nodded.
Liang Jianfang and Qibi He Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Jianfang then sent the memorial.
Li Zhi took a look, and when he saw the list of sub-managers, he saw Jia Ping'an's name.
His heart felt inexplicably loose.
Concubine Xiao Shu is going crazy.
After being cleaned up by Wu Mei, there was no way to complain, so she went to him and cried, saying that she wanted to invite Jia Pingan into the palace to drive away the evil spirits.
Li Zhi was very annoyed, seeing this name now, he couldn't help feeling very kind.
Old Liang really won my favor!
"Can!"
There is a list of the marching commander Shi and others confiscated by Liang Jianfang. If the emperor is not satisfied, he will directly cross it out, and then appoint officials to accompany him.
Now I agree completely, it can be said that the holy family is full!
Liang Jianfang smiled very complacently, Qibi Heli also obtained all the manpower to recruit, and the monarch and his ministers enjoyed themselves for a while.
This is Li Zhi's first large-scale military operation after he ascended the throne.
Jia Pingan couldn't help being stunned when he learned that he had been brought into the army as a sub-manager.
"What about XX?" Tang Xu was going crazy.
He wanted to fight in his dreams, but Jia Pingan went, and he was still squatting in Chang'an as a watchdog.
Shaopeng said sympathetically, "Next time."
The so-called manager is the coach. And the sub-manager can be understood as the coach of the small group of people below.
This is Datang's rules and address.
Sub-managers generally govern thousands of people, and can carry out combat missions in a small direction alone.
The first thing Jia Pingan did was to go to Qianniuwei.
"Dedication!"
Li Jingye has been very bored recently. Since he shot and disabled two of his comrades, no one has practiced with him anymore.
It's boring to play with a knife alone, so Li Jingye practiced his muscles and bones, carrying a huge stone lock and throwing it. There is no smoke in the surrounding three feet. Hearing the shout, Li Jingye turned around, "Brother."
He threw the stone lock casually, and several Qianniu prepared themselves to avoid it.
Poof!
The stone lock fell to the ground, and everyone couldn't help clicking their tongues with such vigor.
"Damn! A certain swears never to practice with Li Jingye."
"I dare not!"
"Hey! Why did Jia Ping'an come to find him?"
Jia Pingan came to look for Wu Weihong.
It stands to reason that Wu Weihong should thank Jia Pingan. If Jia Pingan hadn't taken away Jiang Wei, he still wouldn't have the opportunity to lead Qianniuwei.
Both sides saluted, Wu Weihong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Did Jia Canjun come here for Li Jingye?"
This person has a sharp mind.
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Exactly. This time I was ordered to join the army, and I want to take a look at it with dedication. Please help me."
"Good to say! Hahahaha!"
Wu Weihong responded with a smile, and after Jia Ping left with Li Jingye, someone said: "Captain, then Jia Ping has no control over us, so why give him face."
Last time Jia Ping’an made Qianniuwei miserable, most people didn’t like him at all.
Wu Weihong turned around and looked at those under his command, and said enviously: "Jia Pingan's attack with the army this time is not a civilian, but a sub-manager."
"What? He turned out to be the sub-manager?"
"Captain, how is his qualifications enough?"
"Sub-manager, if you don't talk about it, you have to fight for many years, and you have to make great achievements in battle."
Wu Weihong let out a sigh of relief, "He fought twice in Diezhou, and he was quite spiritual. The governor of Diezhou, Wang Dekai, said that he could be a famous general. Later, he went to the north to suppress the Turkic tribes. People are frightened. Do you have enough qualifications?"
Everyone was silent.
A Qianniu Beishen suddenly scolded: "Damn! He has made so many meritorious deeds, such a good man, I shouldn't be hostile to him!"
Datang men are heroic, and there are small-bellied ones, but they are not mainstream.
Someone asked: "Captain, how is this battle going?"
Everyone is concerned about this battle.
Wu Weihong said: "In this battle, General Liang and General Qibi join forces, and the Tang Dynasty will surely win!"
"Datang will win!"
Cheers came from the army.
Jia Pingan went to meet his subordinates.
"Meet the coach!"
But there are only 100 cavalry here, that is to say, Jia Pingan still has 900 subordinates who have to wait until the north to report.
Later he went to Ganye Temple to say goodbye to Su Ho.
"When you come back, let alone the end of next year." Su Ho was very pessimistic.
"Be careful with your own fire."
"oh!"
Su Ho watched him leave, and suddenly felt that the sky was no longer blue, and the plants and trees in the Forbidden Garden were no longer full of vitality.
Gao Yang was more excited, "Take me! Take me!"
takes you to...
Is Lao Tzu trying to commit suicide?
Jia Ping'an's head was full of black lines, wishing she could slap her to death.
"Don't even think about it."
Gao Yang sulked for a while, then went in, and when he came out again, he brought a horse spear.
"This is what Aye and I asked for back then, but I don't know how to play tricks, so you take it."
The horse lance is the king of weapons in this era, but it is expensive and difficult to practice, so except for a very small number of people, most people still use horizontal knives or spears.
"Someone went home and practiced."
This is Emperor Taizong's horse, and it is an antique at home.
"You are a woman, you can just play with knives, horse lance is not suitable for you."
Jia Pingan shamelessly took Ma Qian away.
On the day when the troops were dispatched, Wu Mei silently looked at the north in the palace.
"You are getting taller and taller, and you should be a pillar."
…
It was already the end of September when we arrived in the north from Chang'an in early summer, and this was the result of the fast march of the cavalry.
The weather is already unbelievably cold.
Jia Pingan took his own hundred cavalry to camp.
According to the code of practice of the Tang Dynasty, his son-in-law is in charge of the army as the Zuoyuhou army.
As soon as the camp was set up, the pawns came.
"Camp in!"
The silent huge infantry outside the camp slowly entered the camp.
"Flags raised."
Each team in the Datang Army is issued a flag for identification.
Jia Ping'an quickly gathered the 900 infantry under his command.
"Meet the coach!"
The three school lieutenants each command 300 people.
Huang Peng, Jiang Hui, Chen Butou.
These are the three school lieutenants under Jia Ping'an's command.
The three of them were obviously impressed by Jia Ping'an's youth, and they got in touch immediately.
The army was reorganized immediately, and the yelling and cursing of Liang Jianfang and Qibi Heli could be heard every day.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?"
Li Jingye's weapon is the Mo Dao that Li Ji found for him. It is said that the armor is the armor that Lao Li used when he was still brave in the early years, but because of his figure, he took it and changed it a lot.
For this grandson, Lao Li invited Jia Pingan to drink before leaving, without saying a word, just pouring wine.
"It's running in." Although Li Jingye's family is profound, he can't count it on paper. "The army comes from all over Zhechong, and it must be integrated before the war."
The army set off again later.
Jia Pingan led the army in front of the army. He felt that Lao Liang really thought highly of him, so he let Zuo Yuhou army serve as the forward.
"Jia Pingan doesn't have much experience in fighting, Lao Liang, you let him be Zuo Yuhou before."
Qi Bi He Li was a little annoyed. For the candidate of the Zuo Yuhou Army, he fought with Liang Jianfang, and the outcome was tied.
Liang Jianfang said indifferently: "This is a march, not a fight. What's the hurry?"
Qi Bi He Li glanced at him, "The old man can still fight, but you are anxious to cultivate young people, what are you anxious about?"
"Why are you not in a hurry?" Liang Jianfang said angrily, "Look at Li Weigong, what kind of hero was he back then, who might have outlived his lifespan? If we don't cultivate young people now, when we grow old, who will the Tang Dynasty rely on to fight?"
Qi Bi He Li was delighted when he heard it, "Then why can't the young man brought by the old man command Zuo Yuhou's army?"
But Liang Jianfang glanced at him and said, "The young people you brought are not as handsome as Xiao Jia. They are too ugly. This old man looks disgusting."
Qi Bi He Li: "..."
Gannie Niang!
The old guy was angry.
…
The weather is getting colder.
Jia Pingan received the fast horse and let him pass after checking his identity.
The news came quickly.
"Chuyue Department and Chu Mi Department rebelled, joined forces with He Lu, and stationed troops in Laoshan."
The atmosphere of the army became tense.
The two chief executives immediately called the generals to discuss matters.
Qibi He Li pointed to the map and said: "Chuyue and Chumi rebelled, and Tingzhou City has become an isolated city. Fortunately, the weather is cold, and He Lu refuses to send troops to attack, otherwise Tingzhou will not be safe."
Tingzhou is also the seat of Beiting.
Liang Jianfang was meditating.
"Zhu Xie of the Chuyue Department beheaded and killed Shan Daohui, the consolation envoy of the Tang Dynasty." Qibi Heli's brows became more angry, "Those rebels have won the attention of the Tang Dynasty, but they are still ambitious. This time they stick to the prison mountain , but the old man dares to assert that if he gets news from the army, He Lu and the others will definitely run away."
Liang Jianfang looked up, "So hurry up!"
He and Qibi He Li took a look at Jia Pingan. At the beginning, Jia Pingan suggested that the battle should be done quickly, don't start from Chang'an with infantry, otherwise when we arrive in Tingzhou, it will be snowing heavily, how can we fight?
All the generals spoke out one after another.
"It's time to ride lightly."
"Going lightly, if He Lu's whole army attacks, it will be death!"
"Huihe has 30,000 cavalry, and our army has 10,000 cavalry. Are you afraid of them?"
"But they will flee, and forty thousand cavalry cannot stop them."
A group of generals are arguing.
Jia Ping'an was thoughtful.
He has an impression of this battle. Later generations have a lot of controversy about Liang Jianfang's battle. The biggest controversy is that after Liang Jianfang defeated the Ministry of Chuyue, he did not chase and kill He Lu, and was impeached by the censor.
Why didn't Lao Liang chase after him?
Because there was heavy snow at that time, the Tang army did not have horseshoes, and the horses suffered a lot.
It was different at this moment. Datang's war horses had the guarantee of horseshoes, and because they rushed to the vicinity of Tingzhou quickly, the weather was okay.
In the battle in history, He Lu ran away when he heard the arrival of the army, leaving Zhu Xieguzhu to lead the Chuyue Department to hold on to the prison mountain.
That was not sticking to it, but being abandoned by He Lu.
That is to say, He Lu is cunning, and he will abandon his so-called allies and run away if there is any trouble.
In front of us is the Tianshan Mountains, and the terrain of Laoshan is even more complicated.
The so-called prison mountain is called Alagou in later generations. When the country confronted Big Brother back then, in order to provide weapons nearby, many factories were relocated on a large scale to Alagou.
He heard that the place was in the mountains. After the innovation, those factories gradually closed down or moved. In the end, a big flood destroyed many factory buildings and residential buildings. In this way, Alagou returned to the embrace of nature.
Those places are not easy to attack, but they are also not easy to defend.
So the opportunity is equal to both sides, the key is whether they can capture He Lu's main force.
Deputy Chief Gao Deyi said: "The lower officials think that since He Lu has gathered Chuyue and other troops, it is very likely that he will stick to it. Our army should divide into two groups and attack Laoshan from left and right."
This idea is...beautiful.
But it didn't work.
From a historical point of view, He Lu belonged to the rabbit. He ran away when he met Liang Jianfang for the first time, and also ran away when he met Cheng Zhijie for the second time. The two famous generals who can be called the super thugs of the Tang Dynasty could not catch up with him. It can be seen that He Lu has a deep knowledge of the way of running.
so…
"Xiao Jia!"
Qi Bi He Li is not familiar with Jia Pingan, but Lao Liang values this young man, so he also wants to try, "What do you think about this?"
A sub-manager, look at the yarn, just obediently obey orders.
Liang Jianfang frowned, "He's still young, what a fart, let Mr. Luo talk about it."
A middle-aged man came out, looking with a look of wind and frost on his face. This man was Luo Hongyi, the governor of Tingzhou. Li Zhi agreed with He Lu's policy before, so he came with the army to praise the painting.
"He Lu joined forces with Chu Yue and other troops, and the momentum was huge. The officials thought that they would stick to the prison mountain. Now that the weather is getting colder, it may snow in a few days. Under this weather, He Lu and others must have thought that our army would not attack, so the next official suggested to forgive Chuyue and other troops, and only attack He Lu..."
Jia Pingan shook his head slightly. He suggested that the rapid march was not for a surprise attack. He Lu was an old fox, and it was too difficult to surprise him.
Luo Hongyi continued: "The army should recruit the local Chuyue and other tribes as the vanguard, and the Tang army is behind, forcing them to rush to fight..."
This suggestion was more in line with Jia Pingan's appetite. He looked at Luo Hongyi and felt a little more cordial.
"Xiao Jia!" Liang Jianfang said suddenly, "You tell me."
Qibi He Li looked at him, "..."
The old man asked him to talk earlier, you said he was still young, what a fart, do you want to swallow this fart now?
But he obviously underestimated the thickness of Lao Liang's skin.
Jia Pingan had already thought about the whole matter clearly just now, and said calmly: "The lower official thought that He Lu was cunning, judging from his experience, after being defeated, he decisively bowed his head to Datang, and then he was more willing to lead the way... He did not hesitate to rebel when his family was full-fledged, which shows that this person is insidious and cunning. These people are quite afraid of the Tang army, so they attack at this time...someone thinks they can't catch him."
In history, both Lao Liang and Lao Cheng failed to catch him, and in the end it was Su Dingfang who defeated He Lu in one battle.
How did it go off?
Show the enemy weak!
Luo Hongyi frowned, feeling that young Jia Pingan shouldn't have said such depressing words before such a big battle, which hurt morale, "So... should our army march step by step?"
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Why don't you show the enemy your weakness?"
In an instant, there was a bang in the tent.
As soon as Liang Jianfang took pictures of the case, the cheeks of the civil servant beside him twitched.
Qi Bi He Li glanced at Liang Jianfang, knowing that Old Liang agreed with this idea, so he said flatly: "What if you are besieged?"
yes!
What if the enemy is besieged by showing weakness? If the defense is unfavorable and collapses before the arrival of reinforcements, the battle will be considered a defeat.
Gao Deyi thought for a while, then sighed: "This official is even more worried that He Lu will run away."
Qibi Heli glanced at Jia Pingan, "It's good for a young man to have such insight, but as I said before, there are two disadvantages of this strategy. One is besieged by the enemy. If there is a mistake, our army will be defeated. The other is that if He Lu fled after hearing the news, and the army was in vain."
There was silence in the tent, Liang Jianfang took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I thought...you can try, otherwise He Lu will also escape."
"You..." Qi Bi He Li felt that Lao Liang was a little impulsive.
Liang Jianfang said: "The old man leads a thousand cavalry and nine thousand infantry to go, and you follow behind, looking for an opportunity to surprise He Lu."
"This is taking risks." Qibi Heli sighed, then waved his hands, "Everyone get out."
This is the meaning of the two chief executives wanting to collude in private.
Everyone went out, and a quarrel broke out in the tent.
What Ganniang, cheap dog slaves and other words are endless.
Jia Pingan suddenly felt that this was really good.
Any dynasty whose lieutenant generals are gentle and soft-spoken is basically a street-smart.
Look at the Great Song Dynasty, the civilian officials lead the army, and the warriors below bow their heads and obey their ears.
Look at the late Ming Dynasty, when civilian officials led the army, warriors dared not move, and they had to pay attention to the change of tone when speaking.
But Datang is different.
"Slave dog, the old man leads the army, and you follow behind. The old man has 10,000 people, and he is afraid of He Lu!"
Lao Liang's voice is too loud.
When everyone went in later, the armor of the two big brothers looked a little messy.
Then there is the arrangement.
Liang Jianfang went out with 10,000 people as bait.
Qibi Heli led the remaining 60,000 people and followed behind.
Before leaving, Luo Hongyi asked Jia Pingan to talk.
"Your suggestion is too risky. If it is inappropriate, remember to protect the general."
Jia Ping'an smiled, "Someone thinks that He Lu needs more guards."
Old Liang has been aggrieved for many years, and he even brought a Qi Bi He Li in this battle, which made him feel that Li Zhi underestimated himself.
This battle is going to be crazy!
Jia Ping'an also wanted to go crazy.
The army was divided into two groups, Jia Pingan led his subordinates and set off with Lao Liang.
According to Li Jingye, if Jia Ping'an stayed under Qibi Heli's command at this moment, he might be beaten with a sap at night.
Jia Ping'an led Zuo Yuhou's army to open the way ahead.
One morning six days later, Zuo Yuhou's army had just set out less than five miles away.
"Join the army, there are cavalry!"
Jia Pingan stood up on horseback, and Abao stood up very cooperatively.
Right in the fog ahead, more than ten riders were looking over here.
This is an encounter.
Jia Pingan didn't hesitate at all, "Report to the general, Zuo Yuhou's army found the enemy scouts, and the subordinate officials led the army to scout all the way, and the army immediately followed."
After speaking, he ordered fifty cavalry to go out.
"Dispel the enemy scouts, if you can capture it alive, it will be the first achievement!"
Jia Pingan studied the art of war in Chang'an, and experienced several fights, and gradually developed his own rules.
Fifty cavalry cheered and rushed over.
Fighting began ahead, and more enemy cavalry came out of the fog.
"Join the army, the enemy has more than a thousand horses!"
"Ganniang!" Jia Ping'an's eyes were full of coldness, "Order the cavalry to come back, line up, the whole army!"
The first battle came like this.
Jia Pingan looked at the enemy cavalry approaching madly in front of him, trembling with excitement.
