Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1009 Is there a bird to use as an afterthought?

When Lu Qian, who was far away in Jinling, received the battle report from Tianfang, one month and 23 days had passed since the Battle of Bulgar.

"More than three hundred people were lost, and more than ten thousand enemy infantry and cavalry troops were defeated." Lu Qian looked at the battle report with a smile on his face: "160 officers and soldiers died in battle..."

This result is okay.

The losses mentioned by the military generally refer to all personnel who have lost combat effectiveness, including those killed in combat, disabled, seriously injured, and missing.The only uncertainty among them is the seriously injured personnel, but it is rare for them to successfully return to the army after recovery. Basically, if they survive, they are lucky.The injury has also devastated the body to a certain extent. Whether it is physical strength, speed, strength and flexibility, there is a big gap between it and before the injury, and he will not be accepted back into the army at all.

This can be seen from the athletes in later generations whose competitive status has declined sharply after serious injuries.

The best destination for these people is to stay in the feudal country as a mid-level official, or return to the middle land, relying on the court's gifts-such as pensions and tax cuts to live a lifetime.

Skipping the casualties, Lu Qian looked at them carefully, and said: "Killed 2000 Ross knights and middle and senior officers, 800 cavalrymen, and captured more than 300 people. Killed [-] Bulgarians and captured [-] people." ..."

Such results were achieved by Lu Chuan and Lu Yue with less than [-] troops. Even though they had many elite troops, it was still a remarkable achievement.

"Cheng Min, Wang Sheng, Xiao Heda, Pang Rong, Li Xing..." Many of the generals under the second son's account have military exploits, and among them are outstanding ones such as Cheng Min, Wang Sheng, Xiao Heda, etc. Looking at the battle report, the first two With courage and strategy, it seems that he is no weaker than Xiao Heda, who has been famous for a long time.

"It seems that there are a lot of people buried in this world..." The army fought fiercely against Tianfang and Tianzhu, and many people came out of it, such as Dong Xian, Liang Xing, Fu Xuan, Wang Quan, Wei Sheng, etc. Lu Qian said to Dong First of all, Liang Xing still has some impressions that he was a heroic general in the Yue family's army in history, but Emperor Lu's famous generals are like clouds, such as Wu Jie and Wu Lin brothers, and they will all disappear. Why did he go to find Dong Xian and Liang Xing? Such a character?
Now it fell into his eyes, however, over half a hundred years old, the hero has gray hair.

"They are indeed two good generals. It's a pity that they have hesitated for so many years!" Lu Qian praised Cheng Min and Wang Sheng and said with admiration: "Among the generals in our army, these two should be among the top figures."

However, there is another bird to use as an afterthought?

Time is the most ruthless, a dozen years of time has passed, a talent has been abolished.

……

At the same time, as for the principalities of Rus' in the ice and snow, whether it was Vsevolod II Oligovich occupying the position of Grand Duke, or Pereyas Ladar, who felt the threat of the Lu Qi army at close range, In Severo-Novgorod, or in the smaller cities of Kursk and Chernikov, messengers one after another have communicated with each other countless times.

Nobles from Ryazan, Smolensk, Polotsk, Novgorod Republic further north, as well as Pinsk, Volyn and other places, all sent envoys to Kiev.

Uh, don't be surprised by the fact that a republic is mixed into a group of Ross principalities. You must know that it is the birthplace of the Rurik dynasty.The Slavs, who were in a mess at the beginning, held the idea that foreign monks could chant scriptures, and invited a Viking named Rurik from the Jutland Peninsula to be the boss. This is the origin of the Rurik Dynasty and the Principality of Ross. origin.And Rurik's foothold in Rus was in Novgorod.

It was only soon that the political center of the Rurik dynasty moved from Novgorod to Kiev. After a long period of evolution, the dukes of Novgorod were only responsible for defense, and the internal affairs of Novgorod were controlled by the archdiocese and Elected mayors govern together.The aristocratic republic was born not only in the warm Italian region in the south, but also in the cold Novgorod in the extreme north.

The fiasco of the Battle of Bulgar shocked the whole of Ross. Although it was difficult for the various princes to let go of their old grievances and face this huge threat together, they were able to contact each other with a beautiful banner. Listen to the other person's attitude.

Vsevolod II Oligovich loudly appealed to the princes to send troops to defend Kiev, because this place will definitely be the focus of the Chinese attack next year. At the same time, Kiev’s special geographical location—very east— It also determines that it will definitely be attacked.

Vsevolod II Oligovich claimed that he had received news from the east, saying that the soldiers and horses assembled by the Chinese were all cavalry. If they passed through the cities of the principalities without taking them and quickly penetrated them, the army could reach them directly. of the city of Kiev.Then, Pereyasradal and Severo Novgorod, or Kursk and Chernikov, would be unable to stop them.

"You don't need noble knights to defend the city, send your cavalry to Kiev, let us unite, defend Rus, and defeat the terrible enemy together. I swear that what I say is my heartfelt desire, God testifies me Sincere hearts."

His cry seemed emotional, but it was of no avail.No one believed him except the old brothers Pinsker and Kurkos.

Vsevolod II Oligovich also sent someone to contact the Byzantines.The latter had already learned about the Crimean Peninsula before the winter in the north really came, but it would be a joke for John II to send troops to recover the Crimean Peninsula.

The cold winter turned northern Xinjiang into a world of ice and snow, but the winter in Asia Minor may not be able to freeze water into ice.Under such circumstances, Lu Qi's main force has already begun to restart the war.

The entire Persian plateau has not been completely flattened, but it has generally been able to maintain a calm state, that is, several major transportation routes have been opened up.For Lu Qijun, this is enough.At the same time, Muktafi in Baghdad also opened the way to the Qi army.

Although the contact time between the two was still very short, from the bottom of his heart, Muktafi really did not believe the Chinese.I don’t know if the trick of pretending to conquer Guo has ever been performed in Tianfang World, but Gong Zhiqi, the Minister of Yu State in Kinmen Palace, must have the same worries.However, there are many smart people in Baghdad, and they know very well what water transportation on the Tigris River means to Lu Qi!
Lu Qi army entered the Mesopotamia, as long as Mosul was captured.Once captured there, a large amount of military supplies can be directly transported to the main force of the Northern Lu Qi Army through the Tigris River. It will be transported back to Middle Earth, which will greatly reduce Lu Qi's transportation consumption.

If Baghdad refuses such an important matter of interest, it will be tantamount to pouring a bucket of ice water on their friendship with Lu Qi.

Muktafi and the others have to think about one more thing, that is, once Lu Qi's army is really evil and wields a knife at Baghdad, how can they resist it with the power in their hands?
When the arm cannot twist the thigh, compromise seems to have become a necessary choice for Baghdad!

Now, a large number of Lu Qi troops have marched to the battlefield of Mosul, and all the elite soldiers will be dispatched.This famous city of double springs (because of the similar temperature in spring and autumn) has been caught in the flames of war.

John II could have foreseen that after Mosul was conquered, a large number of Luqi troops would definitely launch a final attack on the Seljuk forces in the central and eastern part of the Asia Minor peninsula!Byzantium's military strength and energy are not enough to pay attention to the Asia Minor Peninsula. How can it recover the Crimean Peninsula and make chestnuts for the Russians?
