Chapter 3: Beacon Fire (Sixth Part) Although Hou Junji showed an appearance of enlightenment, his inner understanding of tactics was completely different from what Li Xu said.
Accumulated and thin, once successful, it will be like boiling soup and pouring snow. The station was dug out by Li Shimin with one hand. The brave general Hou Junji is willing to take risks. In his eyes, I am afraid that the news about Luo Yibing's attack on the fortress and the gust of wind taking advantage of the fire were all deliberately released by Xu Zi.
It's a false move, the purpose is just to make the tribal coalition forces collapse without fighting.
But no matter which angle Zhengqi views it from, Li Xu's strategy is sound and feasible. He and Qu Tutong are mutually beneficial. On the one hand, he can protect himself to the maximum extent. On the other hand, it is very easy for the Allied Forces to think that more Qin Wang is there.
Soldiers and horses are coming in a steady stream and will launch an attack from behind at any time.
"Although the Zhuhu coalition forces are large in number, they are not a whole. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring His Majesty's safety, the longer the confrontation is, the better it is for us." Xuzi thought for a while and continued to summarize, "So we either don't fight, or if
The war must be fought so that they will not dare to look southward for five years!"
"I haven't seen you for half a year, and Zhong Jian's skills in military use have improved so much!" Dugu Lin sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time he also felt a vague regret. In contrast, Zhong Jian has been struggling in the whirlpool of officialdom for more than half a year.
My life can be described as "unexamined".
"This plan is very safe. We Sui men should not imitate those barbarians outside the Great Wall and pin all their victory on an animal!" He tried his best to control his mentality and said in a calm and firm voice, "Specific details
I have to trouble you all to plan the details of the march together!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. We are all serving the country, so what's the difference between us?" Qin Shubao cupped his hands and responded.
"Leave it to my Flying Tiger Army to spread the news. Many of the brothers who came with me this time are from Lingwu, and they speak Turkic very fluently!" Li Shimin also straightened his body and raised his hands in a gesture.
The three most influential generals all expressed their support for Li Xu's strategy. Naturally, it was difficult for others to say anything more. Everyone put aside their previous differences and completed the implementation details in one word.
After nearly half an hour of planning, a very complex but feasible combat strategy was finally put in front of everyone.
Li Xu, Dugu Lin, Qin Shubao and Li Shimin discussed and assigned various tasks one by one. Old General Yun Dingxing, who had not yet entered the city, was "highly respected", so everyone still gave him the burden of bluffing and escorting the baggage.
The Flying Tiger Army was familiar with the fighting methods of soldiers and horses outside the Great Wall, so it was divided into small groups. Some of them pretended to be horse thieves from the border areas, attacking border cities that had fallen into the hands of the barbarians outside the Great Wall and had neglected to guard against them.
One team sneaked into the Sanggan River Basin farther away, where they spread the news that the lairs of various grassland tribes had been robbed by Luo Yi and Liu Jizhen.
The elite cavalry of the border army selected by Xu Zi from Yun Dingxing's command will still serve as the main force for tomorrow's march. The Qijun children and the Nao County soldiers and horses form the left and right wings, led by Dugu Lin and Luo Shixin respectively, forming a "pin" shape with Xuzi's soldiers and horses.
, taking care of each other and moving forward
"Brother Shubao has trouble with his legs, so he will stay in Guo County for the time being and command the remaining troops to defend the city. I will report the situation to King Qi and ask him to hand over the defense of the city to you!" Dugu Lin looked at Qin Shubao.
The calf wrapped around Bai Ge suggested in a low voice
"Don't worry, you guys, as long as I live, we will not lose our way out!" Qin Shubao was very generous. He smiled and took the seal handed over by Dugu Lin. "As for the adults in the city, I may not be good at getting along with them.
!”
The senior officials of the imperial court will not look down upon a low-level general from the local area, although their safety depends on the other party's protection. "I will leave Zhang Gongjin here and leave the matter of appeasing you adults to him!" Dugu Lin thought for a while and decided, "Mr.
Sincerely, you stay and assist Brother Qin, and try not to let anyone bother him except for military affairs!"
"Yes!" Zhang Gongjin hugged his fists to Dugu Lin very happily, "I am honored to have the opportunity to ask Mr. Qin for advice!"
"Don't just talk, it will delay things, and no one will spare you!" Dugu Lin threatened with a smile, and then turned his head to everyone: "Brothers, you can go prepare, remember not to delay the noon reception banquet!
"
The generals who received the mission retreated one after another, and the hall gradually became quiet for a while. Only Li Xu, Luo Shixin, Li Shimin and Qin Shubao were left around Dugu Lin. Several core people gathered in a circle, drinking tea and resting.
While carefully considering every detail of the action
Outnumbered, they dare not make any mistakes, especially at this precarious moment. Once this battle fails, half of the Central Plains may be wiped out.
"I saw many tribal warriors kneeling down and worshiping the white wolf in the morning!" After a moment, Qin Shubao turned his eyes to Gan Luo again and asked in a low voice, "Does its status in the hearts of the herdsmen be very high? It seems that it is not inferior to that of the Khan?"
"Turkic people respect wolves. In their legend, the white wolf is the messenger of the gods!" Xuzi still felt a little guilty about the injury on Qin Shubao's leg. "The Turkic royal court is different from our Central Plains court.
There are many little khans, and each little khan commands several tribes, and each tribe has its own Ajin. Some tribal warriors in Tutun may not be willing to obey the orders of Ashina Gutuoru, but they will never offend the divine envoy!
"
"No wonder this monster is so domineering!" Hearing this, Luo Shixin glanced at Gan Luo with a provocative look, "Turns out he is used to being knelt down and worshiped by others!"
The latter responded with a sharp look, as if he could understand every word Luo Shixin said, "What kind of fierceness is it? If you are fiercer, I will not give you meat to eat!" Luo Shixin winked and Gan Luo turned his head with disdain.
Looked straight out the window
"Haha, you're quite crazy. One day I'll bring out a pack of female wolves to see if you can get crazy again!" Luo Shixin's self-esteem was greatly hurt, and he bared his teeth at Gan Luo's back.
"It's not easy to find a female wolf that matches him. Back then, I led people to dig out hundreds of wolf dens, but I couldn't find a single one with pure white fur!" Li Shimin took over Luo Shixin's words and said with a smile.
Having said this, he turned his head to look at Xuzi again, with a smile on his lips and a bit of warmth in his eyes. "Besides, wolf cubs are difficult to raise. They usually die inexplicably within a few days of leaving the den. In my opinion,
The fate between Brother Zhongjian and Gan Luo is determined by heaven, and no one else can ask for it!"
This sentence was said by Li Waner herself. When she first heard Liu Hongji talk about Li Xu's wolf in Huaiyuan Town, she and Shimin privately decided to raise one at home. However, she has been unable to find it since Xuzi's first expedition.
He completely broke away from the Li family. Neither Wan'er nor Shimin could find a wolf cub with pure white fur.
"If it were so easy to find, I'm afraid every Turkic Khan would have to keep one." Dugu Lin, who had witnessed Gan Luo's prowess in battle, also added with a smile, "In battle, it can support a strong general, and it can also help in peacetime.
He stabilizes the tribe!"
"So I think Ashina Gutuolu is definitely reluctant to let Gan Luo leave. For him, Gan Luo is more than just a wolf!" Qin Shubao nodded and changed the topic back to what he wanted to express without leaving any trace.
Ganluo stood up straight and kept turning his ears. His eyes were attracted to the distant mountains outside the window. Although the burned woods looked dilapidated, they were full of vitality at their deepest parts. The animal's instinct made it like the wilderness even more.
Yu likes cities, and what’s more, what he feels in cities is not entirely friendly.
"It would be better if he led his troops to grab Gan Luo. Let's just find an opportunity to have a good fight with him!" Luo Shixin immediately stood up and expressed his attitude loudly. Although Gan Luo had been ignoring him, deep down in his heart
However, he really fell in love with this big spiritual guy. If anyone dared to threaten Gan Luo's safety, he would not hesitate to raise his long spear.
"He has separated from the main force of the coalition. We can indeed fight him!" Li Shimin responded to Luo Shixin's call and understood what Qin Shubao wanted to express. It was indeed a mature and feasible suggestion, but the final decision was made.
In Li Xu, there is no need for the second son of the Tang Dynasty to make his allies unhappy.
Xu Zi grinned slightly and stood up slowly without responding to anyone's words. He came to Gan Luo again and felt the warmth of the wolf fur with his palms.
The armor only has a touch of warmth wherever the fingers can reach it.
As if feeling the master's mood, Gan Luo turned around, his eyes facing Xu Zi again, pure and deep, just like the autumn day many years ago. But Xu Zi was no longer the same Xu Zi, with the beard on his face and the wind and frost in his eyes.
Witnessed maturity
"Second brother, Zhong Jian just reunited with Gan Luo!" Dugu Lin couldn't bear it and protested in a low voice.
"Zhongjian, I'm just suggesting!" Qin Shubao stood up staggeringly, walked behind Li Xu and said
"We can't guarantee that the Turks can also be trustworthy!" Xuzi turned his back to everyone and shook his head gently, then slowly turned around and led Gan Luo towards the door of the house.
Everyone turned their attention to Qin Shubao, some admired in their hearts, some complained in their hearts, but no one expressed their thoughts directly. In the face of a powerful enemy, they must maintain the appearance of everyone working together.
Just when everyone was looking at each other, Xuzi, who had already walked to the door, turned around with a smile and gave everyone an incomprehensible answer, "I will think about it! Although Gan Luo was raised by me, he does not belong to me!"
Then he quickly opened his legs and caught up with Gan Luo's already gone footsteps. Under the gorgeous autumn sun, the two of them almost became one body, following each other in person.
