From ancient times to the present, there have been no fools who can command the army to fight. Everyone says that Zhao Kuo is talking about war on paper. The battle of Changping ruined hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops, causing Zhao to lose all the last drop of blood, and forever lost the qualification to compete for hegemony.

It's right to lose the qualification to compete for hegemony, but it would be a bit unrealistic to say that Zhao Kuo is a coward who looks down on the top but is useless. Just imagine if he is really an idiot, then Bai Qi, who has been with him for so long, wouldn't he be mentally retarded?

There are tens of thousands of people, all kinds of people, hundreds of thousands of troops intertwined, and the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and any small-scale battle may affect the entire battle situation. Therefore, fighting one or two small battles in a targeted manner is a common battle between the head coaches of both sides.

If the two places between Songzhou and Sedi are compared to a chaotic fish tank, then Li Daliang's troops are the fishing bait. After Kewoya and Maiwa, Li Daliang's troops met the guards of the Tubo royal family in Ertama, and the two sides fought fiercely in the city blocks less than thirty miles away.

One day and one night later, seeing the reinforcements of the Tubo people increased, Li Daliang and Xue Wan had to retreat to Maiwa, and Woya thought it was a support. Seeing the Tang army retreating voluntarily, the uncle of Zanpu, the commander of the Tubo Guards, Lunkoer, led generals Zangu, Ba Yuzebu, Nong Zhongbo and others to lead their troops to follow him to the city of Maiwa, and the two sides thus formed a confrontation.

Looking at the army of the Tubo royal court that was covered with darkness behind, Li Daliang and Xue Wanjun stood on the top of the city and watched happily for a while, and ordered the deputy general to guard the city block and not to go out to fight, then turned around and walked towards the temporary central army.

After entering the central army tent, Li Daliang and the others first took off their armor and changed into strong suits, and then they prepared for food. Then they drank tea and talked about the situation of the war.

"Brother Li, we are now in the jar. We can't defend two earthen cities like Woya and Maiwa for a long time. If the battle situation in Songzhou does not reverse significantly, then you and my brothers will be buried in a foreign country with these 40,000 troops." Xue Wanjun put on his robes, his worried expression was beyond words.

Xue Wanjun's concerns are understandable. He raised all three armies and threw them into the dangerous land, took the initiative to jump into the enemy's encirclement, and was surrounded by elite troops from the enemy country. No one could be at peace.

The eldest brother Xue Wanshu and the fourth brother Xue Wanche are all subordinates of the old East Palace. It is already a great kindness to be pardoned. The Xue family should be loyal to His Majesty and should not participate in the fight between the princes.

But the fourth brother, a loser, insisted on supporting the King of Wu and opposed the prince everywhere. Now, except for him, the rest of the brothers fell into the hands of the prince. They just wanted to pinch the Gu as they wanted.

Xue Wanjun is a veteran who has been fighting for the rest of his life. If the head coach on the battlefield wants to let someone die, it will be as easy as killing an ant. Who knows whether the prince will regard himself as defeated and then pick up the other brothers.

Compared with Xue Wanjun's butt, Li Daliang seemed much more relaxed and held a teacup and said slowly: "Defense matters, don't worry too much. I have asked Chi Mengbiao, Wu Xiaokuan, Zhu Shuyu, and Fan Chengye to be stationed in the two cities. The four of them have followed me for many years, and they are reliable in their work. It is not a big problem to defend until the prince leads the main force of the army.

As for the concern that someone is rafting, my brother thinks you are thinking too much. Over the years, I have had a lot of contact with the prince and have fought wars together. He is not the one you imagined to use any means to eliminate political enemies.

During the last Western Expedition, Wan Che was defeated and should have been removed from his military post and transferred to the Three Courts. But as a result, it was not the prince who had spoken to Duke Dai to save him from his crimes, and he only beat thirty military sticks. Don’t forget that during the Northern Expedition, Gao Zhensheng, who was also an old general of the Qin Palace, died under the prince’s military law.

If you compare carefully how your Xue family is compared to the Wei family in Jingzhao, they did it overnight. Even Concubine Wei demoted Prince Ji to the fiefdom. If you want to target your Xue family, they have already done it and can still be done until now, so you should put your heart in your stomach!

I have heard a little about the princes in Chang'an City. When I went back to tell Wan Che that the matters of the Tian family would be less involved, and it would definitely be beneficial to your Xue family without any harm. The five brothers are the generals of the same court and hold military power. If they get involved too much, even if the prince doesn't say anything, His Majesty will not sit idly by."

"Besides, you are an old general of the Qin Prince's Mansion. You share the hardships with Your Majesty. What are you afraid of? As long as it is not a serious crime of treason, Your Majesty has treated you badly? To be honest, the generals in the court have always been of particular origin. Look at Su Shichang's leap from a small governor to the chief of the march, and Gongsun Wuda even made adjustments to the military and political affairs of Jiannan Road. For outstanding work, Your Majesty and the Prince can treat you from the Qin Prince's Mansion, so that your brothers can be jealous of you!"

After Li Daliang's reassurance, Xue Wanjun felt much more relieved. It really makes sense. There is no need for him to do this. Alas, he was too careful and figured out his thoughts. Xue Wanjun grabbed the legs of lamb on the plate and feasted in big mouths.

Before the two of them finished their meal, the general of the Central Army, Chi Mengbiao, stepped in and said respectfully: "Shuai Li, General Xue, and Tubo general Zhuo Zang Gu were organizing an attack under the city. It seems that he wanted to fight at night tonight."

Bah, "Damn it, this turtle boy from Kor won't let me eat. Let's go, let's see how they want to play." After saying that, after throwing the food in his hand, Li Daliang began to be busy.

At a moment, in order to defend for a long time, the Tang army used mud and debris to paste the gates and holes of the city gates and debris, and transformed the original fortifications on the city wall, and supplemented them with large shields to enhance the protection of soldiers.

Under the command of Wu Xiaokuan, the crossbowmen on the city were constantly tilting arrows towards the Tubo people carrying the ladders and screaming. The soldiers beside the stomp were preparing the already prepared turbulent oil in an orderly manner. Once the enemy leaned under the city, they would cremate them and send them to see the monsters and gods on the plateau.

"Go and send a team of people to tear down the tents and cabins of the Tubo people. When the catapult machine is repaired, mix the stones and fires, and return them to these barbarians together! Then drive all the barbarians in the city into the dungeon." Li Daliang whispered to Chi Mengbiao beside him.
