In early May of the fourth year of Daye, Yang Guang worshiped Huang Mingliao as the commander-in-chief of the march on Yumen Road and the prefect of Dunhuang County; he appointed Wang Wei, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, as the deputy commander-in-chief; and Li Jie was the commander-in-chief of the march, and went to Yiwu. He also ordered the grassland Hu tribe to attack from the north to assist in the battle.
Since Li Jun¡¯s death, Li Jie has been worried about Li Hun¡¯s revenge and has been in panic all day long. In order to survive in death, he, who had already downplayed his relationship with Huang Mingyuan, once again joined Huang Mingyuan's disciples. Not to defect, but to be willing to change his name and become a slave.
Huang Mingyuan finally refused and used a direct descendant of Duke Shen as his slave. He didn't want to cause such big trouble.
However, this time when he went to the Western Regions, Huang Mingyuan hoped that someone could be Huang Mingyuan's second assistant, so he chose Li Jie, who was good at scheming. Li Jie is a smart man, and he is a sharp knife when used properly. The reason why he stayed in China was because of his status. Huang Mingyuan never dared to trust him, fearing that he would be taken over. But when he arrived in the Western Regions, he didn't think so much.
Although Li Jie was born in the Li family, no one recognized him as a member of the Li family because he was against Li Hun. Huang Mingyuan asked him to follow the Western Expedition to the Western Regions. Although the Western Regions were far away, they could avoid Li Hun, and he was happy to do so.
The most important base of the Western Expedition is Dunhuang. Whether it can get enough repairs and supplies in Dunhuang is related to the success or failure of the Western Expedition.
Dunhuang has not had close exchanges with the Central Plains since ancient times, and most of its power was controlled by local aristocratic families such as Gai, Zhang, Suo, Cao, Guo, Song, and Rong. With the army alone, it would be difficult for Huang Mingliao to control Dunhuang and he would not have time.
Huang Mingyuan was afraid that Huang Mingliao would suffer a loss, so he asked Yang Guang to appoint Huang Mingcheng, who stayed in Dunhuang County, as the Dunhuang County Lieutenant; Cui Renshu was the Dunhuang County Prime Minister, and also led the army's food road to guard Huang Mingliao's retreat.
In fact, after considering the strategy of the Western Regions, Huang Mingyuan started to attack Hexi. After the merger of prefectures and counties in the Sui Dynasty, there were only three counties in Hexi: Wuwei, Zhangye, and Dunhuang. Huang Mingyuan had no one around him who could serve as a prefect, so he recommended his uncle Zhang Zhikuan as the county magistrate of Zhangye County, and appointed Huang Fenglin as Fulu (ruling today's Gansu Province). Jiuquan City, Jiangsu Province), Sun Fuga was the magistrate of Yunwu (who governs Yongdeng County, Gansu Province today, and was renamed Huining County in the sixth year of Daye). Together with An Xiuren, who was originally the magistrate of Wuwei County, Huang Mingyuan opened up the connection between the entire Hexi Corridor.
During the western expedition of the army, there was a shortage of generals, so Huang Mingyuan rushed to fill in the Fengzhou generals, and then ordered the old Fengzhou generals Gao Zhen, Fuyan Wangrong, Meng Yue, Bao Gu, Yuchi Gong and others to follow him. Huang Mingyuan even sent his own generals to follow. Guard captain Qin Qiong also handed it over. The Western Expedition Army was actually another Fengzhou Army.
On May 5, the army swore to march westward in Luoyang.
Yang Guang denounced Yi Wu's evil deeds in the imperial edict, and ordered Huang Mingli to command the army to attack the country in accordance with the emperor's order.
Most people in the DPRK watched this matter with cold eyes. If Huang Mingyuan wins this battle, it will also be beneficial to the Western Region strategy of the Sui Dynasty. Even if he fails, it will be Huang Mingyuan's business and has nothing to do with them.
But Huang Mingliao's heart was filled with excitement. He took over the Emperor's Festival for the first time and led his army to attack. The pleasure of conquering thousands of miles was indescribable.
Huang Mingliao knew that he represented Huang Mingyuan behind him, and he did not dare to relax at all. In fact, he can be said to be a purer general than Huang Mingyuan, and he prefers to fight on the battlefield instead of endlessly arguing with petty officials in the state capital and local aristocratic families every day.
Therefore, he was extremely hopeful and prepared for this attack on Yiwu.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
After Huang Mingliao led his troops to Chang'an, Huang Mingyuan had already made preparations for his brother's expedition.
Long-distance attacks not only test the general's command ability and material preparation, but also his understanding of the surrounding environment, anticipation of the difficulties he can face, and many other reasons, which all affect the direction of the war.
At that time, many people knew that the Western Regions were very far away, but in fact, no one knew how far away they were, and even later generations of Chinese people may not fully know. To put it into something measurable, the later Z trains from Luoyang to Urumqi generally took thirty hours. As for the early green trains, it usually took several days and nights.
So this distance is a severe test for people¡¯s energy and endurance.
Because people at that time did not have Sasuke such as Gaode and Baidu Maps, they were unable to intuitively view the real terrain and landforms everywhere on the earth. Therefore, their understanding of the entire world was relatively one-sided and easily influenced by one family's opinions. Therefore, no matter how well prepared Huang Mingliao was, he still had not been to the Western Regions, and the uncertainty became even greater.
Huang Mingyuan has never been to the Western Regions, but his understanding of the Western Regions is far beyond that of anyone in the world.
Huang Mingyuan specially drew more than ten maps for his younger brother, all of which completely depicted the topography of the "three mountains and two basins" in the Western Regions. In order to give his younger brother a comprehensive understanding of the entire Western Regions, Huang MingyuanHezhong, Khorasan and other places west of the Western Region are also marked in detail for reference.
Huang Mingyuan did not draw a map that emphasizes cities and despises land like people today, so the entire map is almost like that of later generations, and the vastness of the Western Region is also reflected in Huang Mingliao's eyes.
Huang Mingyuan did this not just to conquer Yiwu, but the small country of Yiwu was not in his eyes. What he did was to travel three thousand miles to the Western Region.
Huang Mingliao talked with his brother for several days. He was quite knowledgeable and understood his brother's intentions. Going west like this is to complete the achievements of Zhang Qian and Ban Chao. Huang Mingliao himself can't help but feel excited and ambitious.
Huang Mingyuan also prepared thousands of camels for Huang Mingliao's use. With the help of these camels, the difficulty of crossing the desert was greatly reduced.
Along the way, Huang Mingyuan has begun to spread the business routes of the Sihai Business Group to the Hexi area.
Before leaving, Huang Mingyuan sent his younger brother to the west of Chang'an City. He held his hand and said, "We say farewell to the Western Expedition today. I don't know when we will see each other again. The Western Region is not like at home. You have to make the decision on everything. Therefore, you will do whatever you want in the future." It¡¯s better to think about it properly, I¡¯m going to be reckless.¡±
Looking at the younger brother he raised since childhood, Huang Mingyuan also feels sad. If he doesn't leave, the mountains will rise and the rivers will grow.
Huang Mingliao also remembered his brother's earnest advice and felt sad in his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Huang Mingliao saluted his brother, then got on his horse and led the team to leave.
Huang Mingyuan took his eldest son Wei Yang and Huang Mingliao's eldest son Huang Weiji until Zheng Ren could not be seen. Huang Mingliao's eldest son, Wei Ji, was born in the first year of Daye and was half a year younger than Wei Zhou, so he ranked fourth in the clan. He was not yet four years old this year and could not follow Huang Mingyuan to Liaoxi, so he was left to teach Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan had two new sons last year, born to Hu Lu Miner and Qiqi respectively. He was less than thirty years old and already had six sons, so he was prosperous. Only the second brother Huang Mingliao was the only son, and Huang Mingyuan loved him extremely, more than many of his own children.
?? Qinghai is covered with long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks out to Yumen Pass.
??The yellow sand will wear the golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Loulan will never be returned until it is broken. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
