In the battle of Qianshuiyuan, he persuaded Li Shimin to withdraw his troops, but the facts proved that he was wrong. In today's battle, he persuaded Li Shan to recall Su Dingfang, and the facts once again proved that his choice was wrong... Now Dou Gui really doesn't want to make a choice anymore.
.
"Yan Bogong's words are too frivolous." Li Shan chuckled and said, "Dou Gong is good at military strategy and is cautious. Is it a bad thing?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Shan looked at Wang Junhao, who had long been unable to restrain himself. "Here's the order. Su Dingfang will dispatch all the pursuing troops. However, after leaving the border crossing, they will only sweep horizontally to hold down the position and not go even half a step past Baiquan County."
"Yes." Wang Junhao responded, ordered more than a hundred personal guards and left quickly.
Dou Gui's cheeks moved, and he was glad that he had not said a word just now... This was a great victory, with heavy killings and huge gains. If it were him, he would definitely go north quickly and take advantage of the situation to attack.
Fortunately, he didn't speak just now, otherwise... Dou Gui also knew very well that the King of Handan in front of him seemed gentle, but in fact he was determined and determined, and once he made a decision, he would not look back.
Before Li Shan charged into the battle with the banner of the Chinese army, Dou Gui hurried over and was originally ready to offer some words of persuasion...but Li Shan didn't even give him a chance to speak. The soldiers and horses gathered together and immediately shouted drums and attacked.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything just now... It's not that Dou Gui felt that he would be embarrassed by being rejected by Li Shan, but that this relative vaguely guessed that... 80% of his unspoken choices were still wrong.
"Shi Danai." Li Shan squinted at Mo Daoshou who was resting not far away, "Let the Mo Dao team remove their armor and pack their horses... Forget it, the Turkic soldiers left behind many good horses, let the auxiliary soldiers
Carry the armor and Modao and send the Modao team to the north, as assigned by Su Dingfang."
"No, no, no!" Wen Yanbo took a deep breath, "I'm afraid there was a plan before the troops were sent out."
"Let's go to Baiquan County first." Li Shan clicked his tongue and said, "No hurry, no hurry... The two old friends don't know whether they can escape. The situation is unknown and they cannot act rashly. First, stick to the main road and fight with Baiquan County.
The power of the horns."
Wen Yanbo suddenly said quietly: "Wrong, wrong."
"Do you still remember how King Handan invited himself to go on an expedition in Tai Chi Hall?"
Li Shan was still making plans, and kept sending his personal guards to investigate the military situation. Wen Yanbo and Dou Gui watched the scene silently. The former suddenly whispered: "The King of Handan made a decision long ago not to cross the thunder pool."
step."
It is very simple to confirm all this, as long as it is later confirmed that there are Turkic ambushes in Yuanzhou.
Dou Gui perked up, and it turned out that I was not the only one... But the next moment Wen Yanbo said softly: "Not before sending out troops... to be precise, before sending out troops."
"Yes, yes, that makes sense." Wen Yanbo felt as if he had been scratched by a cat, wondering whether he should ask the young prince later, "With such a fierce attack on the first day, the Turks
If they refused to retreat and held out for eight consecutive days before they even thought of retreating, they must have set up an ambush in Yuanzhou."
Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it won't be that fast. Qianyou was still complaining last night. The pack horses have been assigned to the Modao team..."
Dou Gui nodded slightly, "There are Liupan Mountains on the west side of Yuanzhou, but the terrain on the east side is flat. Even if there is no ambush, the Turks may turn defeat into victory if they pursue aggressively... The King of Handan may seem to be taking the wrong approach, but he is actually extremely cautious."
"Yes." Shi Danai nodded in agreement, shouted and led his men to gather up the scattered horses.
Dou Gui's eyes were even more surprised, "On the first night of the war, His Highness didn't mention that he wanted to force the Turks to retreat..."
"Yan Bo?" Dou Gui was a little surprised.
Obviously, not only the king's soldiers, but also Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche could not trust Li Shan in this regard.
It's really possible that it's true... The more Dou Gui thought about it, the more he thought about it. It was clear that the King of Handan was still thinking of using heavy troops to defeat the enemy last night, but he found that the Turks wanted to retreat, so he suddenly attacked in person with the banner of the Chinese army.
"I'm afraid this kind of plan was not decided before the war..." Wen Yanbo murmured: "Definitely not, definitely not!"
Speaking of this, Wen Yanbo suddenly stopped talking and his eyes were dull.
"That's right." Wen Yanbo clicked his tongue and said, "In the early years before he became famous, during the Shandong War, he urged the King of Huaiyang not to fight in vain... He has extraordinary vision..."
"I don't care!" Li Shan raised his eyebrows, "We still don't know what the situation will be like in Yuanzhou. If the Turks block the outside, even if the Modao team can break out of the siege, how can we let the soldiers fight with flesh and blood?"
"I told you before, Xu Jiang." Li Shan was a little surprised. What else do you want to ask?
"Go, go!" Li Shan waved his hand angrily, "Jun Hao just went north."
"Fan Shiyi!" Li Shan turned around and ordered: "Ask the Chang'an Order to bring the peasants as soon as possible. Qi Laosan has built many brick kilns in Guyuan. Red bricks, wood and other materials should be sent as soon as possible."
Dou Gui calculated the geographical location in his mind and hesitated: "Hulu River? Baiquan County?"
After thinking everything through, Dou Gui felt his scalp was a little numb, and began to wonder if he had made up his mind... He just won the title this year, does Li Huairen have such scheming methods?
"What?"
Dou Gui was also stunned, "You mean... King Handan did this deliberately... Oh, no wonder he didn't take a step beyond the thunder, and the Turks are planning to withdraw their troops today, so there must be an ambush on the north side of the main road."
Hou Hongtao's face twitched and he glanced at Shi Danai who was not far away, "Brother Wu An, please ask Duke Kang to persuade him to surrender..."
After explaining a few words casually, it happened that there was a military report coming from the rear, and Hou Hongtao came in person. Li Shan asked a few questions, and finally...it turned out that the more than two thousand soldiers of the Turkic King's tent who had been abandoned had no chance to survive, and were taken over.
Zhang Shigui from both armies was tightly surrounded and couldn't escape even if he wanted to. There were also cavalry led by Zhang Zhongjian, Xue Wanche, Hu Yan and others outside.
Li Shan also lost his temper now and insisted on letting Shi Danai go... This was because he wanted this Ashina disciple to act as guarantee!
Why should Danai be the guarantee?
This is because he is afraid that Li Shan is too murderous... Last year, three thousand Turkic soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered by the Cangtou River, but Li Shan did not hesitate to order them to be slaughtered and built up to guard the capital.
"Basically they have been swept away, but many Turks fled into the dense forest, so it is difficult to hunt them down one by one." Hou Hongtao answered absentmindedly, casting an envious and jealous gaze to the north.
"But the King of Handan led the whole army to attack..." Dou Gui smacked his lips and thought that if all this was true, then Ashina She'er was really defeated unjustly. In fact, the King of Handan had seen through the truth and deliberately attacked with force.
The Turks retreated, but disrupted the opponent's rhythm at the critical moment, thus triggering this great victory.
"Let Shi Danai go!" Li Shan suppressed his temper and asked: "How are Ma Sanbao, Li Keshi and Zhang Baoxiang?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Dou Gui's pupils shrank and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It seems to be true..."
"We must defeat the Turks, regain the territory of the three states, capture the capital of Liangshi, and Liang Luoren will be questioned in front of the emperor..." Wen Yanbo sighed: "Ashina Simo reported back, and the King of Handan arrived again and attacked fiercely without setting up a camp..."
Dou Gui was silent for a moment, feeling that he had underestimated just now... He clearly remembered that before Li Shan said such heroic words that day, he deliberately mentioned that he had been sworn in with Tuli Khan.
On the second day of the war, Li Shan sent a letter with the intention of estrangement, but he admitted that it was of no use... Then why did he tell Jinlan about his sworn relationship in Taiji Hall that day?
There can only be one explanation, which is to deliberately cover up other purposes... As the saying goes, in the art of war, the miraculous use of imaginary is to make the real, and the real is to make the imaginary.
