In addition to subjectively wanting to be defeated, there was another reason why Li Qinzai did not want to lead the army. He wanted to accompany Li Ji and keep an eye on his physical condition.
Li Qinzai's filial piety and concern for Li Ji were all hidden in jokes. There was no need to be so disgusting about the blood relationship between ancestors and grandchildren.
And Li Qinzai also understood that the reason why Li Ji sent him to surround the area for reinforcements was partly due to his own selfish motives.
Encircling a point for reinforcements is a classic tactic that has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This tactic is mainly based on mental calculations but not on intention. As long as the layout is properly arranged before the battle, the pockets are tied tightly, and the terrain is well utilized, once the enemy gets in, all the enemies will run away. Don’t miss it, it’s a great achievement.
If done well, the battle commanded by Li Qinzai may be recorded in history and become a textbook-level classic battle example, which will be studied and studied by future generations thousands of years later.
Of course, Li Ji secretly wanted to give such benefits to his grandson. Since the expedition, Li Ji knew that he was getting older and older, and his energy and physical strength were not as good as before. This battle was also the last battle of his life. After this battle, , maybe his time is running out.
Before people leave, it is beneficial to the Li family's business to pave the way for their children and grandchildren and create several more opportunities for them to make meritorious deeds.
Li Ji hoped that Li Qinzai would make new achievements, but Li Qinzai's main priority was to be a companion. Both his grandfather and grandson had different ideas.
Now that the military orders had been suppressed, Li Qinzai no longer persisted and angered Li Ji. Although he would not be beheaded in public, it would be uncomfortable to hit him with a military stick ten or twenty times.
As a person, you must know how to be flexible. When you should hold your head and squat down, your posture must be handsome, and don't get in trouble with your own butt.
"My grandson has ordered all the troops and horses to prepare for departure, but grandpa... you are surrounded by some rough guys with rough hands and feet. If you ask them to serve you, my grandson is really worried..."
Li Qinzai paused and said tentatively: "How about Sun'er's command will go to the nearby area to look around and grab some village girls to serve you? You can tell me whether you are tall, short, fat or thin, and Sun'er promises to find you a satisfactory one." , making you unable to close your legs."
"Perhaps grandpa will regain his second youth after the cockroach, and give birth to a brother-in-law for his grandson next year. After all, the most beautiful thing is the red sunset, and the most refreshing thing is the excitement of the spirit. I am so ambitious, and I am determined to..."
Clang!
Li Ji unsheathed his sword on his side, and murderous intent suddenly arose in the handsome tent.
"...grandson resigns!"
…………
Returning to his commander's tent, Li Qinzai ordered the troops and horses to be mobilized. Wang Fangyi, Liu Renyuan and other generals all started to move.
"Encircle the point for reinforcements and set off immediately. Bring all firearms, ammunition, and food and grass. This time we will only bring our own troops and horses. The Japanese and Silla troops will march to Wugu City with the main force." Li Qinzai gave the order concisely and concisely.
In the commander's tent, Wang Fangyi, Liu Renyuan and others all clasped their fists and accepted orders.
Li Qinzai glanced at Jin Yuxin, with a half-smiling expression, and said: "General Jin, from now on you and the Silla Allied Forces under your command will follow my grandfather. After several battles, your army suffered heavy casualties. Only about three soldiers are left." There are thousands of people here, right? I’m really sorry.”
After Jin Yuxin heard that he no longer had to follow Li Qinzai, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed expression as if he was sending away the god of plague. For some reason, his eyes were a little red and he felt like crying at this moment.
I have finally survived this inhumane day, and I must celebrate with a drink tonight.
God knows, it would be too much torture to be with the evil god Li Qinzai. This guy would kill people whenever he disagreed, and he was especially ruthless towards foreigners.
Jin Yuxin lived in trepidation every moment during these days. He would hold his buttocks between his legs when walking, fearing that the evil spirit would find an excuse to deal with him if his buttocks swayed too much.
Finally, it's time for relief.
Just come here, it would be rude to stay together!
Jin Yuxin's relaxed expression fell in Li Qinzai's eyes. Li Qinzai looked him over and suddenly murmured: "But after we leave, will your Silla army be dishonest? Should I beat you again..."
Jin Yuxin was startled, and then he was shocked: "No need! Mr. Li, the general and his subordinates have always been honest and honest, and have never caused you any trouble!"
Li Qinzai sighed and patted his shoulder, saying: "Other people care about whether you are tired from flying, but I am different. I only care about whether your wings are hard. If they are hard, I will discount them..."
"I'd like to remind you, don't think it will be easy if you follow my grandfather. My grandfather's temper is even more violent than mine. You'd better be nice in front of my grandfather and don't put your head on his knife edge."
Jin Yuxin was stunned, and his expression suddenly turned bitter.
Li Qinzai sneered silently, "Isn't it more pleasing to the eye? I don't like to see you happy. How can you thrive without any pressure?"
After sending Jin Yuxin away, Li Qinzai ordered the entire army to march out.
Li Ji's military order asked him to lead his own troops, and Li Qinzai's troops were more than 10,000 Tang army officers and soldiers who had followed him all the way from Japan.
When he first set foot on the Haidong Peninsula, Li Qinzai took in thousands of soldiers from the Xiongjin Dudu Mansion, totaling nearly 20,000 troops. Later, after experiencing several battles, large and small, his soldiers suffered some casualties, and there were still about 10,000 soldiers left.
More than five thousand.
To be honest, Li Qinzai still felt a bit pressured by the fact that the 15,000 Tang troops were sniping at the enemy's reinforcements. If the enemy's reinforcements were massive and they sent over 100,000 reinforcements, the war would be a bit troublesome.
No matter how powerful the weapons of the Tang army were, they only had more than 10,000 people. If the difference in strength between the enemy and ours was too great, the outcome would be unpredictable.
After gathering troops and horses, Li Qinzai ordered to bring more food, grass and gunpowder. If it was a fierce battle, at least the weapons should not be compromised.
As soon as Li Ji's main army was assembled, Li Qinzai's 15,000 soldiers had already left the camp and set off.
From Liaodong City to Shangyi City, heading southeast, the distance is about two hundred miles, which is not a long journey.
Li Qinzai felt a little relaxed during this expedition. He didn't know why he felt relaxed. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had abandoned two miscellaneous armies.
Without the two armies of Japan and Silla following him, his subordinates were all natives of Guanzhong, so they were very confident in terms of their combat strength and loyalty. Li Qinzai did not have to devote his attention to guarding against the evil intentions of Japan and Silla.
Men all understand the feeling. It is best not to place the crotch of a man on another man, otherwise the sphincter will tighten unconsciously... It is purely a subconscious psychological effect.
No wonder I felt so relaxed, it turned out that there was no one behind me.
The journey is not long, but Li Qinzai and the soldiers can only walk.
There are a lot of mountains in Goguryeo, and most of them have very steep and difficult mountain roads. It would be more time-consuming to ride a horse than to walk.
Thinking about the two hundred miles ahead, Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel a headache.
How had the fifth young man of the Li family, who was pampered and privileged, ever suffered such a crime?
But after all, he is the commander of an army. No matter how hard it is, he can only bear it with gritted teeth, otherwise he will be despised and ridiculed by his soldiers.
Exactly five days later, Li Qinzai discovered a dense mountain forest, located between the two cities of Bobi and Shanyi. At the foot of the mountain was a winding road, which was the only place to pass between the two cities.
Li Qinzai, who had gone through the ordeal, breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's set up an ambush here. It would be rude to leave any further."
