"At the beginning, Li Yuan raised his troops from the Jin region and marched south to Chang'an. It was rumored that everyone thought he was the master of the Ming Dynasty and raised the city to welcome him. However, several years have passed and the Jin region is still in turmoil. Otherwise, we would not have so many troops.
We can also capture the big city of Jinyang."
At this time, Li Po slowly said that there was indeed some hint of guidance in it.
"Looking at the land of Guanzhong, although it is surrounded by powerful enemies now, it is extremely stable inside. There is no doubt that the foundation of the Li family is in Guanzhong rather than the land of Jin. How many Jin people are there around Li Yuan now?"
"But we are different. Most of you are from Jin. Although my ancestral home is in Guanxi, I am no different from Jin people now. In this way, Jin is our home. How can we fight in our own homes?"
Damn it, what’s the point of letting outsiders see the joke?”
This time Bu Qun sincerely raised his hand and answered: "What the general said is that once the army arrives, the people will be devastated. If that's the case, how are we different from the Turks? The general will be benevolent and the general will bow to him."
Li Po waved his hand and said a rare word of humility, "I have led troops in battles for many years and killed people without calculation. I can't talk about the word benevolence. Besides, if I always have compassion in my heart, I will come to persuade you first.
, I’m afraid it’s the two of you, right?”
In one sentence, both of them laughed.
Yuchi Gong nodded and said: "It's fair to say that monks are merciful. It's hard to lead an army, but the general has the heart to bring peace. This is great compassion. Ordinary monks can't compare to it."
"What the general said is the truth. So, we can only wait for the Tang army to fight?"
Li Po patted the desk hard, "What you said is right. Now that Jiexiu has fallen, the dangerous position of Queshu Valley is also in my hands. Most of the river east is under the attack of soldiers. If I don't go, the Tang army will naturally look for it."
Come to your door"
Although this possibility is not 100%, it is still certain. At this point, both Yu Chigong and Bu Qun almost understand the reason.
Even if Li Shentong and Pei Jiqie, who are leading the army, cannot fight, Li Jiancheng of Tongguan and even Chang'an will urge them to go north to fight. This is almost not something that the generals in charge can decide.
Because many other people do not see the battle situation, just like Li Po was unwilling to send his troops south immediately after a great victory, those people will also see the dangerous situation in Hedong.
It is certain to increase troops to the east of Hedong, and since we increase troops, we will fight as soon as possible.
Li Po already had a plan in mind, and what he said now was neither hasty nor delay.
"Wait patiently for some time. Once the Tang army comes north, no matter how cautious the Tang army is, they will not be able to control the place where the decisive battle will take place. In this way, no matter how many Tang armies come, our army's chances of winning in the field battle will also be reduced.
If the main force of the Tang Army in Hedong can be defeated in one battle, all the lands in Hedong will be at your fingertips. Since we have such opportunities, why bother going south in a hurry and lingering under the fortified city?"
Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun were excited after hearing this. Like many times before, they were fascinated by Li Po's strategy, and Li Po once again showed his ease and familiarity with the rhythm of war.
This is obviously a talent, and he has become more and more confident after many battles and dealings with powerful enemies. Otherwise, he would not have waited until this time to discuss with his close generals.
Because he had the confidence to convince them and impose his will on the army again, allowing the generals to faithfully implement his strategic intentions.
Bu Qun opened his mouth to praise a few more words, but after glancing at Yuchi Gong, he swallowed back all the words he was about to say. Instead, he said, "General, if the Tang army doesn't come,"
Not only Yuchi Gong, but also Li Po couldn't help but look at Bu Qun in surprise, and said to himself, this doesn't sound like something this guy can say.
"Yes, what would happen if the Tang army didn't come? And why didn't the Tang army come?"
Li Po glanced at Bu Qun and threw the question back. The two generals of the Guards had just taken office. They only knew how to follow orders and had no constructive suggestions. There were extenuating circumstances. If it had been a long time, they would still be like this.
, not only shows that the two people are incompetent in their talents, but also shows that he is incompetent in teaching.
It can be said that now he is sitting firmly in this position, and he is no longer the guy who just wanted to lead a group of people to fill their bellies.
Bu Qun choked. Apart from being unable to control his mouth and being too flattering to his servant, he had nothing wrong with him. His talent in battle formation matters was no less than that of Yu Chigong, otherwise he would not have followed him all the way.
The Li Po is so tight.
This is not something that can be determined by qualifications.
After just pondering for a moment, Bu Qun said: "If the Tang army is delayed in coming, they must be afraid of my front and unwilling to fight in the wild with me. In the eyes of the general, if the Tang army is not seen coming from the north before the autumn harvest,
, we can’t let it harvest this year’s food.”
Yuchi Gong also intervened. This time he did not refute Bu Qun, but agreed with him.
"Yes, General, the Tang army may not attack easily. Now the Li family controls the hinterland of Guanxi, Jin, and Shu, all of which are sacred places. The big enemy is not me alone. There are Xue Ju, Li Gui, and Liang Shi in the northwest.
Everyone is watching with eager eyes. There is Xiao Mian in the southeast, spying on Shu, and there are Li Mi and Wang Shichong in Henan. Once the two men decide whether they are male or female, they will definitely send their troops to the west."
"It would not be surprising if the Li family came to seek peace with the enemy. If the Tang army knew that I did not want to go south, wouldn't it be more in line with the Tang army to stand still and confront me?"
This time the words of the two people were very interesting. It was not that they disagreed with Li Po's plan, but they consciously began to stand on the opposite side and looked for loopholes. This is the usual state of affairs in the army, and it is also the general state of affairs.
The qualities you must have, what your talents are, whether you are familiar with military affairs, whether you have foresight, whether you are thoughtful or not, are all included in these words.
Li Po nodded with a smile, but then shook his head, "What you said makes sense, but the book of war says that soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. We have been fighting for so many years, and we should know how war changes. Therefore,
Every time I face a battle, I have a plan in advance, and I can’t just wait and see what happens when the enemy comes up.”
"Back then, a million troops conquered Goguryeo, and there were so many famous ministers and generals. Who could have imagined that it would end in a disastrous defeat? At that time, I was thinking, if I lead the army in front of the enemy, I must not play so many tricks. Once the plan is decided,
, so you don’t change your original intention easily, do you understand what I mean?”
What's not clear about this?
Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun both saluted and nodded in agreement. What they need to do next is to suppress the generals and prevent them from bothering the general. If the generals have any complaints, they must bear them themselves.
Once someone says something about the general, it is a dereliction of duty on their part, and it also shows that the morale of the military is unstable, and they will have to bear the responsibility when the time comes.
Of course, the first point is that Li Po has made up his mind and cannot allow them to object.
Li Po then waved his hand and said to the two of them with a smile: "You don't need to be too anxious. As soon as we arrived, we were already standing at the door of Li's room with sharp swords. If we didn't leave, Tang Jun would
If they can defend Queshu Valley, they may not dare to attack Jinyang Fort."
"But with the current situation, there is a smooth road ahead for our army. It is the Li family that should panic. Recapturing the key points of Queshu Valley is what they should do."
"Secondly, Jiang Baoyi, the deputy general manager of Jiezhou's march, has fled back. The defeated general is guilty and timid. In addition to exaggerating our military strength, he will definitely blame others. There is no evidence around him. Li Shentong and Pei Jineng
How much do you believe in him, and what words do you believe in what he says?"
The smile widened on Li Po's face. He liked this feeling of playing tricks on people's hearts. Most of the time, fighting with the Turks could only be regarded as a battle of strength, far from a battle of wits.
This is why he has always felt that the Turks' brains are not very good.
This time it was different. In fact, he handed over the decision-making power of the battle to the Tang army. He used strategic advantages and auxiliary means to want the Tang army to go north to fight.
This strategy obviously belongs to a relatively advanced level in war. If it succeeds, the satisfaction that the leader will get from it is definitely not comparable to that of defeating the Turks.
The smile on Li Po's face became brighter and brighter, and Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun felt a little cold on their backs. They had been following Li Po for a long time, and they all knew Li Po's habits. The happier the smile on his face, the less serious it actually was.
Good thing.
Of course, if you speak harshly, it will be even worse. Someone may be dead in the next moment. The words moodiness are actually very specific in Li Po.
"Tell me, what will Li Shentong and Pei Ji do after meeting Jiang Baoyi?"
Bu Qun was frightened by him, so he kept his mouth shut this time. After a while, Yuchi Gong came to support him, "Behead Jiang Baoyi first. Well, Jiang Baoyi also came from a powerful family in Kansai. They may not dare to kill him. They should take Jiang Baoyi to Chang'an first."
Report for help?"
Li Po knew that this topic was not well started and the two of them could not continue it, so he waved his hands and said, "Okay, anyway, if the two of them still hesitate and dare to lead troops to attack immediately, then it will be really serious."
You should admire their courage."
"It seems that we should wait for a while before seeing any movement from the Tang army. Let's stop here today. Afterwards, we will convene the generals to discuss matters. If there is nothing important, there is no need to come and report in person."
"Also, go back and lead troops as soon as possible. The Queshu Valley is not a big place. Let Yu Chixin lead the troops to guard the south entrance, and then send Liu Jingsheng to station outside the valley. Except for the army stationed in Jiexiu, the rest of the troops will be stationed along both sides of the Fen River.
In addition, we also need to take turns entering the valley and building roads."
"Moreover, send all the army scouts out. There are a lot of mountains and forests nearby, but they are all blocked by me. We cannot let the Tang army easily find out the strength of our army."
Having said this, Li Po looked at Bu Qun and said, "You stay in Jiexiu. Don't worry, you don't need to take care of the food, grass and baggage. There are a lot of prisoners captured by the Tang army in this battle. You and Prefect Zhang will send someone to look after them carefully and comfort them. Don't ask the Tang army to take care of them."
Come, there was a rebellion here first."
