Li Shimin took the arrow shaft, pointed at the map and said: "In March of this year, Yi Bi Duo Lu was first attacked by Zhe Li Shi and Xue Yan Tuo, and then betrayed by Bu Li She. By the time he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he had ten soldiers and horses.

Bu Cun San. In the middle of last month, the Xueyantuo people looted Futu City, an important stronghold of the five Dulu tribes. Then our delegation arrived at Xueyantuo's tent. Under the pressure exerted by us, Yi Nan still tore up Xueyantuo and Yili.

The lost alliance, and finally agreed to return all the occupied territories to the five tribes of Dulu."

“That’s great!”

"The mission is mighty!"

"Haha, this Yi man is quite sensible..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of excited applause in the Political Hall. You must know that except for the ambassador and Deputy Ambassador Anji who can obtain all kinds of information at the first time, the information sources of other participants are not very comprehensive and reliable. Therefore, Li Shimin was

Before putting forward his own combat strategy, he must first describe the recent relevant military developments, and this is why Li Yao asked him to speak first.

Li Yao raised his hand to signal for silence, then turned to Li Shimin beside him and said, "Please continue."

Li Shimin continued to speak slowly: "Although the Xue Yantuo people withdrew from the western foot of Jinshan Mountain, Yibiduolu still felt that it could not compete with Yili, so it voluntarily gave up its territory in the lower and lower reaches of the Yili River, and even did not send troops to the recovered Futu City.

, Yibi Duolu only dealt with Elisu in the area south of the Tianshan Mountains, trying to use the name of the Tang Dynasty to unite Qiuci and Gaochang, waiting for our Tianshi to come to help. Unfortunately, Elisu had already sent an envoy to Gaochang Wang Qu

Wen Tai threatened, but Qu Wentai was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Not only was he unwilling to assist Yi Bi Duo Lu, but Chen Bing turned him away.

As for the Kingdom of Qiuci, this is a bit ridiculous. In order to express his surrender to Zhelishi, the king of Qiuci, Baihelibushibi, actually led his troops to attack Yibidulu. As a result, he was defeated and fled back to Yiluolu in embarrassment.

City. However, Yi Biduolu was worried about losing the advantage and was pursuing them, so he retreated as soon as he saw the advantage and quickly withdrew from Qiuci. Taking advantage of the remaining power of the victory, he turned to the east and forced the surrender of the Yanqi Kingdom's leader Long Tuqi. After that, the enemy lost the battle.

130,000 horsemen rode into the sea of ​​horses and fish and besieged Yibi Duolu in Yuanqu City, the capital of the Yanqi Kingdom. According to the latest information sent by the spies, the two sides should still be in a stalemate..."

Xue Wanche was more impatient and couldn't help but interject: "King of martial arts, you have lost so much power, obviously you want to complete your victory in one battle, can Yibiduulu hold on?"

When Li Shimin saw that the person who interrupted was the guy who almost wiped out his whole family back then, a gloomy flash flashed through his eyes. However, after all, Xue Wanche was one of the most respected generals in the army by Princess Protector, so he still suppressed his displeasure and tried to speak as loud as possible.

He replied calmly: "Although Yuanqu City is not big, it has high walls and plenty of food. However, the Turks have always been bad at attacking cities. The enemy once used the strategy of 'surrounding three towers and one', but they were able to merge with each other."

He's not stupid, he just sticks to it and waits for help. As long as Yibiduulu can keep an eye on the Yanqi people in the city, I estimate he can hold on for at least two months."

Hearing this, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, stroking his long beard and asked: "In the opinion of the King of Martial Arts, we should make plans around this Yuanqu City?"

Li Shimin nodded and pointed on the map with an arrow shaft while explaining carefully: "Please see, in order to end the conflict between the Northern and Southern Turks as soon as possible, even if it is known that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops to fight, it will not

I wish to give Yi Bi Duo Lu a way to survive, and all the elite troops in the right wing are dispatched. Under his rule, the rear area where the five divisions of crossbows have been lost will naturally be greatly empty, and the heads of the countries in the Western Regions are mostly the Qu family of Gaochang and the Bai family of Qiuci.

There are people with two ends, so I believe that our army can be divided into three groups:

The first is the Northern Route Army, which is also the main force of our army. It starts from Dunhuang, leaves Yumen Pass in the north, crosses the Mohe Yanqi, then takes the road to Gaochang and enters Yanqi in the west to relieve the siege of Yuanqu City. If the enemy loses the victory,

If he dares to fight a decisive battle under the city, our army will help him, but with his temperament of losing profits, this is obviously impossible; if he loses profits and retreats, he will immediately send out elite cavalry to pursue him, and at the same time appoint a special envoy to supervise Yi Bi Duo Lu and his tent.

The five tribes of Xiaduulu returned to their hometown in Beiting to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The second is the West Route Army, that is, after the main force of our army arrives at Dunhuang, we select elites to form a partial division, continue to march westward to Puchang Sea, and then travel upstream along the Chi River. After arriving at the mouth of the Baima River, we then go north to harass the Qiuci Kingdom and the

The territory of the cadres was removed, and the five troops who had lost their crossbows were led back to the west. They also cooperated with the Northern Route Army to attack them halfway, trying not to give these ugly barbarians a chance to breathe.

The third is the Southern Route Army, which enters Hehuang from Dadouba Valley, exits Nuoqiang Valley along the Qiangzhong Road to the west, and forces Khotan, Zhujubo, Shule, Jiepantuo and other countries to the west of Tulun Qi and to the south.

Then cross the Geluo Mountains, surrender the river kingdoms, and then divide the troops from south to north to defend Tiemenguan, Baishui City, and Talas, so as to prevent the enemy from losing their way to escape."

When Li Yao saw Li Shimin put down his arrow shaft, he promptly asked everyone: "What do you think of this plan?"

After a moment of silence, Chai Shao took the lead and said: "The Western Region has a vast territory, complex terrain, and changeable climate. The ancients once said that 'a slightest error can lead to a thousand miles of error.' I don't know how your Lord and the King of Martial Arts can guarantee the cooperation between the three armies."

?”

Although Li Shimin was ruthless and had a very serious conflict with Li Yao, no one can deny that Li Shimin was one of the top military masters in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Even compared with Li Jing, he was not much inferior.

Li Yao and Li Shimin had already repeatedly deduced how to deploy, how to advance troops, and how to defeat the enemy along the way, and Chai Shao obviously knew that what Li Shimin had said before was actually a plan that the two siblings had reached a consensus on.

As a native of the Hexi Corridor, An Xiuren had a profound understanding of the hydrology and geography of the Western Regions. Before Li Yao and Li Shimin could answer, he had already picked up his arrow and drew three arcs on the map: "General Chai is too worried.

Well, the marching routes of the three armies and horses are all flat areas with no mountains or obstacles. I just made a rough estimate. If nothing happens, the North Route Army will reach Yanqi, the West Route Army will reach Qiuci, and the South Route Army will reach Qiuci.

It will take more than forty days for the army to arrive in Khotan." Douzi Literature Network

Li Shimin saluted An Xiuren and praised: "Shen Guogong's mental arithmetic is really amazing, I really admire him!"

Li Yao said: "To be honest with you, the King of Martial Arts and I have indeed planned all the itineraries of the three armies before the war, but I don't know if you have any objections?"

"But listen to your coach's orders!"

Everyone responded in unison, then left the long case and went to their seats.

Li Yaoduan sat up and raised his voice: "Chai Sichang, the general manager of the march on Kunqiu Road, and An Xiuren, the general manager of the march on Hezhong Road, listen to the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I have ordered Chai Sichang to be the chief general and An Xiuren to be the deputy general. With the 60,000 troops under your command as the southern route army, we will prepare to set off immediately."

"Here!"

Chai Shao and An Xiuren took the military talisman and walked out quickly.

Li Yao turned to look at Xue Wanche: "Xue Wanche, the general manager of Congshan Road Marching, obeys the order!"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to be the vanguard of the North Route Army and immediately lead eight thousand light cavalry to Gaochang to supervise the Qu family. Before the arrival of the main force of our army, remember not to go to Yanqi without permission!"

Xue Wanche strode out, and Li Yao said again: "Li Daliang, the general manager of the march in Rehaidao, listen to the order!"

"Your Majesty Li Daliang is here!"

"I have ordered your 30,000 soldiers to form the central route army. All of them are lightly armed and each has three horses. We must overcome the bad weather and arrive at Kucha as soon as possible to fight."

"I will fulfill my mission."

Just as Li Daliang was about to accept the order, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Wait a minute!" Then he asked Li Yao: "Why don't you let me lead an army?"

Li Yao did not answer immediately, and handed the military talisman to Li Daliang without changing his expression. Li Daliang accepted it and quickly ran away.
