Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 104 Datang Artillery Teaching Guide
Wang Xiaojie fell into a daze again, pointed at Yang Yanzhang and stammered: "Yang Yushi, what do you mean? Do you want to invade Tubo?"

Yang Yanzhang nodded indifferently: "Of course! Otherwise, just defend yourself. What am I doing here?"

Wang Xiaojie's voice was trembling. He didn't know whether it was fear or excitement: "This, is this the Queen Mother's intention?"

"She didn't say anything about this, but I don't think she would object."

Wang Xiaojie swallowed, immediately lowered his head and considered the feasibility of this matter, and soon sighed.

"No, it's a good idea, but without the nod from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, the food and grass cannot keep up! Moreover, salary is also a problem! Furthermore, the benefits are not mentioned. The soldiers have been away for a long time, and I am afraid they will be homesick and lead to The morale of the army is low. In short, there is no official order from the imperial court. There are too many problems in this matter. If you are not careful, you and I will lose our heads and we will not be able to plug the hole!"

Yang Yanzhang waved his hand: "How big of a deal is it? If I say it can be done, it will be done! For example, the grain and grass you mentioned do not need to be transported from the rear. And when it comes to the Tubo territory, it is unrealistic to transport grain and grass from the rear. We will fight on the spot with war. Get food! As for wages and money, go in and rob the rich people of Tubo, and you have everything! It doesn’t matter whether you are homesick or homesick, as long as we win more and lose less, and as long as we can get money and food regularly, it’s not a problem! I’m not in a hurry to go back. , what are they anxious about?"

Wang Xiaojie opened his mouth, feeling that the problem was still big, but he couldn't put it into words. After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea: "When it comes to food, this is really a big problem! Tubo is barren, and it will be difficult to get supplies! Once supplies are available, If it’s not enough, I’m afraid we won’t be able to come back!”

But Yang Yanzhang waved his hand: "Tubo is barren, but there is little cultivated land, but it has a lot of livestock! When we send troops, we will go to places where it has a lot of livestock! If we do this, it will enrich us and impoverish Tubo, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Livestock? Where can I find this? That's Tubo, not the Tang Dynasty! How can I find it if I'm not familiar with it?"

"So, we need to use this guy Zan Po!"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaojie understood why Yang Yanzhang wanted to protect Po Zan.

"So that's it!" Wang Xiaojie immediately began to think again. As a core figure in the aristocratic Gar family, Zan Po naturally knew the valuable places of Tubo.

If you let Zan Po lead the way, it will indeed be easy to succeed.

But considering that the imperial court had not issued an official edict, Wang Xiaojie was still a little nervous.

"Yang Yushi, you are the supervisor of the army. How about you write to the Queen Mother and tell her? If the Queen Mother doesn't say anything, I am always worried! You should also know something about the Queen Mother's character. If we enter Tubo without military orders, we may be arrested. People impeached and slandered the government and turned it into a mercenary separatist regime! Now that you are not in the government, if those cruel officials come out to cause trouble again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yang Yanzhang laughed and shook his head: "I was just waiting for these people to show up, so I can go back and deal with them together! General Wang, there is no need to worry. After our army enters Tubo, you can just write a letter saying that I forced you to do this. This matter will be fine." , I, Yang Yanzhang, will bear all the responsibility!"

"Well, this is not appropriate. I am also a flesh and blood person. As long as Yang Yushi is sure, let alone sending troops without an imperial edict, I am willing to cut off this guy's head!"

So when the two of them came out from behind, Wang Xiaojie's face not only lost his anger, but also had a slight smile.

"Zan Po, you are so lucky! If it hadn't been for Yang Yushi's persuasion, I would have killed you today!"

"But it's okay now. You can stay in the army in the future, provide me with some information about Tubo, and let me serve as a staff officer! But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance! If you don't abide by military orders and make your own decisions, maybe I I’ll still kill you!”

Zanpo nodded repeatedly: "General, don't worry, I will definitely not make any arbitrary decisions! I will definitely keep the general's words in mind and never forget them for a moment!"...

After resting in the city for two days, the artillery shells and artillery were all in place.

Because cannons are expensive, in order to be loyal and reliable, these artillerymen are all the children of officials, and they could originally serve in the Yulin.

Of course, considering that few people are willing to take risks, these soldiers are all selected and join voluntarily.

The number of people was not that large. The warriors who carried the cannons on carts, the baggage soldiers who transported the shells, those who loaded the cannons, fired the weapons, and commanded the troops all added up to exactly 800 people.

After hearing that this group of people had arrived, Yang Yanzhang came over in person to review his direct troops.

Recently, the Tubo people have sent a large number of scouts to spy on the military situation in Diezhou, south of Minzhou. Therefore, after these soldiers arrived, they directly set up cannons at the head of Diezhou City.

But after Yang Yanzhang arrived, he only looked at the terrain along the way and immediately ordered people to tear it down from the top of the city.

Wang Xiaojie was puzzled by this: "Yang Yushi, doesn't the cannon mount's anti-aircraft fire go farther? Isn't it most suitable to place it at the top of the city?"

"Well, as I said, the south of Diezhou city is relatively open. If the Tibetans rush over, they can easily spread out. Once the people are loose, these cannons will not be effective! Once their cavalry bypasses Diezhou and cuts off our Supplies, then aren’t we doomed?”

Then Yang Yanzhang pointed to the road: "Did you see that side? If the Tubo people want to kill them, they must pass through the upper valley over there! I will set up the cannon on the mountainside, and you can secretly lead troops to ambush in the south of the mountain! I'm here If you fire while firing, the Tubo people will definitely be frightened and they will immediately be defeated and flee. When the time comes, you rush out to cover them up from behind, and you can naturally win a beautiful victory easily!"

Wang Xiaojie was gearing up after hearing this. He suddenly became excited and kept laughing strangely. Then he suddenly turned back to look at the artillerymen and started scolding them!
"Children! Have you learned? Cannons don't have to be mounted on the top of the city! What you learned in Luoyang is too rigid. The Lord Supervisor is here. From now on, you must study hard with the Lord Supervisor. Do you understand?"

Everyone was also very impressed, so they all agreed excitedly.

In fact, everyone knows that the so-called supervisory army is Yang Yanzhang, the imperial censor who has been in the spotlight recently. Originally, these people joined the artillery because of his fame. Now that they have seen Yang Yanzhang in person and listened to Yang Yanzhang's tactics of using troops, they are naturally more convinced. admire.

"Come on, fire a few shots for me first, and I'll see how well you learn. Don't miss me when the enemy comes!"

After Yang Yanzhang gave the order, the artillerymen took their belongings and headed for Nanshan.

Wang Xiaojie immediately came up to stop him with heartache: "Yang Yushi, didn't you say that the cannonballs are limited? In order to buy up all the cannonballs, Po Zan completely emptied the Tubo family's capital! We can't squander it so casually!"

When Yang Yanzhang saw that Zan Po was not there, he laughed in a low voice: "That's just a rumor that Zan Po heard. I deliberately released it to confuse him. In fact, there are as many cannonballs as you want! Let them go as you like!"
