Chapter 645: Mo He Yan Qi

Mohe Yanqi, also known as Babaili Hanhai, is located between Lop Nur and Yumen Pass. In Tang Dynasty, the west of here was called "Yuxi".

, which is the starting point of the Western Regions.

The climate in this area is extremely arid, and affected by the strong wind in Anxi, there are strong winds howling here in four seasons.

"Four nights and five days without a drop of water in the throat, the mouth and stomach are scorched, and I will almost die"

, the eight hundred miles of Moheyan quicksand that stretches across here, everyone who has passed through here recalls it as a nightmare.

Hou Junji led [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and after leaving Chang'an, they traveled all the way.

After many days of marching, we left Yumen Pass and came to the edge of this desert.

It was an extremely hot day in June.

Standing in front of this endless yellow sand, waves of heat rush towards us, making it difficult to breathe.

Hou Junji got off his horse and stood on the edge of the desert, looking at the deserted place ahead, feeling more and more solemn in his heart.

He has been fighting in the west all year round, so he naturally knows the horror of this desert.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to get through here safely.

Not to mention, in this desert, strong winds are raging all year round, and if you don't pay attention, you will encounter terrifying sandstorms.

In the face of such a mighty force of nature, let's talk about 5 people, even... 50 people, there is no ability to resist.

Turning his head and looking to the rear, there were big beads of sweat dripping from the armored generals of the Tang Dynasty.

All the faces were yellowish due to the environment.

Behind the team, there are a lot of camel teams on their backs: they are dragging a huge amount of grain and grass supplies, as well as a lot of fresh water.

He has been fighting here all the year round, and he knows that water is the most important thing if he wants to pass through this desert. Therefore, many hunchbacks carry water bags filled with water.

After watching for a moment, I no longer hesitated in my heart.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Now that we have come here, there is absolutely no reason to retreat.

A small country dared to openly kill the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Only for this point, it must be destroyed in order to show the majesty of a big country.

At the same time, from the bottom of his heart, he did not allow himself to retreat.

During this expedition to the west, in his heart, he was holding back all his strength, so how could he retreat before the battle.

"Can I march now?"

After pondering for a moment, Hou Junji turned his head and asked several guides who were familiar with the desert.

Although he is familiar with the desert, he still needs to consult professionals for the unpredictable weather in the desert.

These guides have spent a lot of effort to find them.

Everyone has the experience of going to and from this desert several times.

Hearing this, several guides took a few steps forward and looked towards the distant sky.

After a long time, it seems that something happened out of it.

Several people communicated, and then, one of them walked up to Ji.

"General, you can march now."

The guide said firmly.

Hou Junji nodded.

"Set off."

He turned his head and glanced, and shouted loudly.

Immediately, the mighty Tang cavalry marched slowly and stepped into this terrifying desert.

Thousands of miles away from here.

In the Kucha Palace.

King Qiuci was holding a dagger, cutting off the mutton in front of him piece by piece, and then put it into his mouth, eating with relish.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Kingdom has just destroyed the Eastern Turks, and now it is gaining momentum. This time, I have killed their envoys, and the Tang Kingdom will definitely not let it go."

> Below, a military division said with some concern.

"Hmph, although the Tang Kingdom is powerful and intimidating the countries in the Western Regions, in fact, it is just for the sake of the countries. Now, the Tang King wants us to submit to pay tribute. , so what, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is nearly ten thousand miles away, and in the middle, there are more than a thousand miles of desert next door, cold in winter and hot in summer, and there is no water and grass, even if they want to take action, they are probably powerless."

King Qiuci put a piece of mutton into his mouth again, and said nonchalantly.

"Okay, don't talk about it. This king has already contacted King Gaochang for killing the Tang envoy. If the Tang army comes here by force and travels long distances, it will be exhausted and the food and grass will be exhausted. At that time, our two countries will join forces. If you attack, you can definitely defeat them, so there is nothing to worry about."

Seeing the military adviser who was about to speak again, King Qiuci said impatiently.

As a king, although the country is not big and the military power is not very strong, but he also has his own pride, so how can he be willing to submit to other countries.

Therefore, when the envoys of the Tang Kingdom came here and brought the will of the Tang King, the King of Qiuci discussed with the neighboring King Gaochang, and directly killed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

Next, the military adviser heard the words of King Qiuci, and the worry in his heart was relieved a little bit.

Although the Tang State is tyrannical, the distance of nearly ten thousand miles is like a natural moat, stretching between the two countries.

...... Now, my own king has reached an agreement with Gaochang King, and I think there will be no problems.

Chang'an City.

For a few days, Tang Feng was in the special office, giving lectures to the best of the new army, and spreading the concept of special operations to future generations in this era.

"Soldiers who, deception also!"

In the special mansion, Tang Feng sat there, continuing to teach the sergeants of the special mansion.

"The way to use troops is not to open up the battle between the two armies, and the two sides will fight directly. Which side is stronger, which side will win. The way to use troops is to be ever-changing and unexpected, so it can seem like it can't, use it like it doesn't seem to be used, The near seems far, the far seems near, the advantageous can lure it, the chaotic can seize it, the solid can guard against it, the powerful can avoid it, the powerful can harass it, the contemptuous can pamper it, reclusive Those who are close can tire it, those who are close can alienate it, attack where it is defenseless, and attack when it is not paying attention, this is the way to win."

"As the saying goes, what is real is empty, and what is empty is real. This is the truth."

Tang Feng explained the strategy of war in easy-to-understand words.

If it's an ordinary sergeant, he doesn't need to be like this, but these... the sergeants of the special government will be a sharp knife in his hands in the future, not only need strong force, but also in other various fields In all respects, there should be no shortcomings.

What he wants is an all-round team, not reckless men and women on the battlefield.

Chapter 646: Controversy in court

In the South Camp.

Following Tang Feng's daily lectures, these thousand sergeants from the special government, including Cheng Chumo, Gao Xingfu, Su Qingjie and others, greedily absorbed these... knowledge that they had never heard of before. .

Tang Feng's explanation seemed to open a new door for them.

It turns out that war is not as simple as tens of thousands of people rushing to fight on the surface. There are so many tricks involved in it.

Even Cheng Chumo, Gao Xunxing and other general disciples have learned a lot from them.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. What Tang Feng taught was a set of war theories summed up by military strategists of later generations after time accumulation, and in the actual process, it had extraordinary effects.

"Special operations mainly include: mobile warfare, sparrow warfare, psychological warfare, and everything else is very ""

There are also intelligence gathering, disrupting the rear, destroying facilities, carrying out surprise attacks, etc..."

In the martial arts arena, Tang Feng continued to teach.

These days, the Marquis Mansion and Nan Daying are on the same line every day, and during the day, they are basically spent in the barracks.

Every morning, I teach the sergeants of the special government, and in the afternoon, I watch the training of these... sergeants.

Tang Feng could tell that since these people knew what real special forces were, the intensity of training had increased a lot.

These...... are not what he asked for, but these...... Sergeant's spontaneous additions.

Regarding... this point, he is quite satisfied.

Truly qualified soldiers are not whipped out by others, subjective initiative is the most important thing.

"General, what is Sparrow War?"

As Tang Feng's voice fell, Su Qingjie was a little puzzled, stood up, and asked a question.

"Sparrow warfare is an unconventional way of fighting. You can see that when sparrows are foraging, they never form a group. Most of them are one or two, three, five, a dozen, a dozen, east and west. , Gathering and scatter suddenly, the target is small, fast, flexible, this kind of combat method is created according to the method of sparrows foraging."

Looking at this...Su Qingjie, Tang Feng smiled faintly and explained.

"As for psychological warfare, I think you should be able to understand that war is not just a physical confrontation, but also a psychological confrontation. The ancients said: one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion, is a kind of psychological change."

"Psychological warfare is to attack the enemy psychologically. By attacking the opponent's weaknesses, by surprise, by attacking the unpreparedness, inducing the opponent to become paralyzed, exerting mental pressure on the opponent, forming a psychological burden, so as to achieve the goal of winning without fighting or fighting. Purpose."

After a pause, Tang Feng also explained the psychological warfare.

In China's 5000-year history, although it is said that in the early days, there were military books and military strategies, but these things are often studied in depth by the generals of the first army.

As for the soldiers below, their minds are still stuck in hand-to-hand combat.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Many people still have it in their minds.

Tang Feng can't deny this point, but, to defeat the enemy without fighting, or to create the innate decisive conditions in advance, why bother.

Now, he wants to instill these thoughts into these people.

War is not fighting for warrior spirit, war is life and death.

Winner and loser.

The ending is what matters.

The sky gradually darkened.

Tang Feng left the barracks as usual and returned to the Marquis Mansion.

In the main hall, as soon as he sat down, someone ran in to report the news.

In the past, such matters were reported directly to Guo Xie, and in the end, Guo Xie, the counselor, came to report.

Now, Guo Xiao has gone to Shandong, so he will report to him directly.

After hearing the news, Tang Feng rolled his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

The envoy of the Eastern Turks has arrived in Chang'an, and now he is placed in Honglu Temple.

Where is Honglu Temple?

Honglu Temple is in charge of tributes, banquets, gifts, welcomes and national ominous ceremonies, temples in the central capital, and Taoist and Buddhist books.

Today, the envoys of the Eastern Turks are arranged in the Honglu Temple, and the meaning of this is worth studying.

Could it be that the imperial court has reached a conclusion and agreed to the East Turkic vassal and tribute matter? Tang Feng sat there, thinking like this in his mind... After thinking for a while, he finally shook his head.

In any case, such things were decided by the king of Tang and the big bosses in the court, and the result must be beneficial to Datang, so he didn't worry about it.

After dinner, he hugged Meijiao Niang early and fell asleep.

Early morning of the second day.

Tang Feng was just about to leave the mansion and continue to the South Camp, when Rong Dequan came.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has called you into the palace."

At the gate of the mansion, Rong Dequan saw Tang Feng and spoke directly.

"Eunuch Rong, His Majesty summoned me this time because of the visit of the Eastern Turkic envoy."

With his brain spinning quickly, Tang Feng guessed this.

"Isn't it... because of this matter, the palace is already arguing. Your Majesty said that the Eastern Turks were brought down by Lord Hou, and he wants to hear Lord Hou's opinion."

Rong Dequan opened his mouth and responded.

When Tang Feng heard the words, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Yesterday, he thought that the court had reached a conclusion, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Without delay, Tang Feng followed Rong Dequan directly towards Daming Palace.
