Chapter Five Unnamed (six chapters) "General Li is indeed unique in his use of troops, and General Boling is indeed the best in the world, but after all, their power is weak!" Everyone looked at him with questioning and slightly angry eyes.
Looking at himself, Li Jing couldn't help showing a wry smile, "I also hope that General Li can successfully defeat the Turks, but before General Boling could recover from the last two fierce battles, Shibi Khan got up.
The overwhelming army went south to fight the tigers and wolves with exhausted troops. Even if General Li has a reputation of being victorious in every battle, does Li not see where his chances of victory are this time?"
"Of course you can't see it! During the Battle of Yanmen Pass, many people couldn't see it either!" Hou Junji has been displeased with Li Jing recently and sneered, "But in the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Turks were still beaten by the Second Young Master and General Li
Let's work together to defeat them!"
"At this moment, the remaining power of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is still there in the world, and soldiers and horses are constantly going to Yanmen to serve the king." Li Jing was choked and his face turned red. He argued loudly about the difference between the two Turks' southward marches. "Besides, that time it was the Second Young Master and the
General Li joined forces, and this time it was the prince who went there! As we all said just now, leading troops in battle is not the prince's strength!"
"Then we may not lose!" Seeing the opponent pulling out Li Shimin as a shield, Hou Junji snorted and sat back in his seat angrily.
"Li just can't win by counting too much, and he can win by counting too little!" Li Jing said a famous saying in the military book to decorate his appearance. "In Li's view, the war in the north is indeed not very optimistic! Except for General Li and the Second Young Master, everyone in those days was
The heroes of the Battle of Yanmen are either unable to go for some reason, or they have already passed away, and the soldiers of Gu Boling are truly alone!"
Hou Junji could not refute these words. Among the heroes who contributed more in the Yanmen Battle, Yun Dingxing had died of illness, and Yin Shishi had just been beheaded by Li Yuan. Two tiger generals, Yao Junsu and Qu Tutong, were being killed by Hedong soldiers and horses at this moment
The group is trapped in two isolated cities. If they insist on refusing to surrender, they will be captured sooner or later.
"Besides!" Seeing that the most arrogant Hou Junji looked gloomy after being spoken to by him, Li Jing took a breath and continued to emphasize, "The Turks went south not only because of the civil strife in the Central Plains. According to what Li knew in Mayi, in the spring of the year before last,
Last spring, this spring, there was severe drought on the grasslands for three consecutive years, and this winter came very early. With the wars going on in the Central Plains, it is impossible for large quantities of grain to be exported in the near future. Herdsmen are not good at saving to prepare for famine, so every time there is a disaster, there may be
People have starved to death for three consecutive years. If they don’t grab some food from everywhere, many tribes will become extinct!”
"The reason why Shibi Khan prepared from winter to now is probably because he planned to burn the boat and leave no way to retreat at all. The Central Plains raised troops to fight. So far, the two armies of King Tang and General Li have not been able to fight in a hurry.
It is difficult for the army and the horse to coordinate as one..."
His words made everyone feel heavy, but they couldn't deny that everything he said was on point. One party involved life and death, while the other party had their own thoughts. Even if Sun Wu was resurrected, he would probably regret his life.
And once the war situation develops in line with Li Jing's prediction, how should everyone face it? I am afraid that all the heroes in the world, including Li Shimin, dare not guarantee that they will be able to turn the tide!
"The prince has always admired Li Zhongjian's talent. He will definitely give him full support after arriving in Zhuojun." Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin first, and then stubbornly insisted that he didn't appreciate Li Jiancheng's slightly cowardly character, but at this moment he was eager to
The cowardly Li Jiancheng is, the better. It is best to hand over the military power to Li Xu immediately after arriving at Zhuojun, and retreat to the back camp and ignore everything. In that case, Xu Zi, who has always been good at creating miracles, may have the ability to create miracles again.
Chance!
Li Jing also glanced at Li Shimin, and then carefully searched for the right words, "The Crown Prince has indeed made peace with General Li, and under the current situation of the enemy, he will not give General Li any leverage. But between the soldiers and horses of Hedong and the Boling Army,
After all, there are some differences. If General Li used the two armies equally, he would probably cause more omissions!"
As a former opponent and veteran general, he could see at a glance the shortcomings of the Hedong soldiers and horses. The combat effectiveness of the Hedong soldiers and horses, which had rapidly expanded by gathering rogue bandits and county soldiers from various places, was very ordinary. Not only could they not be on the same level as the world-famous Boling elite
In other words, compared to the Ma Yi army under Liu Wuzhou and the Sui soldiers guarding Chang'an, they were slightly weaker. The reason why Hedong soldiers and horses were able to break through Chang'an some time ago was mainly due to their numerical advantage and the influence of the Li family in Guanzhong and Gyeonggi.
In the First World War, the Li family's family influence and the numerical superiority of Hedong's troops were of no use.
Except for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two people present here have never been on the battlefield, and the rest have the experience of leading an army alone. Therefore, I have to admit that what Li Jing said is true. The combat effectiveness of Hedong's soldiers and horses is indeed not very strong, and for a general
Generally speaking, it is very taboo to temporarily take over the command of a team that is unfamiliar to him. He will habitually deploy troops and generals in the same way as the original team under his command. Once the new team is overwhelmed, it will not only affect its own position.
So simple!
But out of personal wishes, everyone still hopes to find some favorable conditions for Xu Zi. "General Li is familiar with the terrain of Zhuo County and takes advantage of the location!"
"He has also been preparing for nearly three months, so he will not respond too hastily!"
"General Li has a reputation for loving the people! The Turkic Wolf Riders are bandits who have come from afar, and their combat effectiveness can remain as strong as ever!"
"Brother Yao forgot to consider Dou Jiande's strength! He has just formed an alliance with Li Xu and announced to the world the reason why he gave up his previous enmity!" The audience talked for a while, and Changsun Wuji spoke again, his voice trembling slightly, obviously
I don't believe it is possible for Dou Jiajun to block Wolf Cavalry's full blow.
"Dou Jiande has a thief character. He only wants to take advantage and does not want to suffer losses." Li Jing snorted from his nostrils and was very disdainful of Dou Jiande's character. "The reason why he is willing to come forward is because he can get a good reputation by helping General Li.
It’s hard to say whether you will draw your sword to help in an emergency!”
"Except for that idiot Li Zhongjian, who would do anything without any benefit at all!" Fang Xuanling shrugged his shoulders, his smile full of bitterness. He could see some things very clearly, but he couldn't say them clearly, including this time by the King of Tang Dynasty.
If the purpose of sending the Left Route Army and the Detachment of Women to the north was not for the six counties under Li Xu's name and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, would the Li family in Hedong be willing to use two-thirds of their strength to help? Everyone.
I sneered at Dou Jiande here today. When others looked at Chang'an, they didn't know how many times they would sneer!
'But that idiot has no idea how much admiration he has attracted from the world.' If possible, Fang Xuanling hopes that she can be in the same position as Li Zhongjian. Although Li Shimin has been kind to him, he can't give advice to others like today.
His brother's sincere confession was definitely not what he expected.
In Fang Xuanling's dream, he hoped that he could do something for the people of the world openly, just like the policy he wrote on the examination paper when he was taking the imperial examination, "Be brave enough to serve the public but timid for selfishness. Fortunately,
Fighting for the country but being ashamed of private fighting. These passionate words from my youth have been buried in the dust for a long time, but every time I recall them, they still make me feel uncomfortable like wildfire.
"If the pharmacist and Li Zhongjian were to change places, would there be a way to solve the dilemma?" Thinking of this, regardless of the possibility that his words might cause Li Shimin to misunderstand, Fang Xuanling asked tentatively, and after finishing his words, he no longer dared to look at his own plot, and
He cast all his ardent eyes on the face of the "poison soldier" Li Jing who once commanded thousands of remnant soldiers to block hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from Hedong outside Chang'an City for more than ten days.
"Li is just talking about the matter on paper. It may not be accurate, and it may not be a good plan!" Li Jing glanced at Li Shimin again and found that the other person's face was still calm as usual. He felt a little at ease. He also hoped that he could be on the crenellations of the Great Wall at this moment, not on the right.
It was a pity that Li Jiancheng was blind in the road army. Li Waner misunderstood him deeply and even hated him to the bone.
Reality is not always satisfactory. Li Shimin is the only one who is willing to give him a chance to show his talents. In the heart of this young second master, whether state affairs or family affairs should be taken more seriously?
Li Jing was not sure at all. He could only take care of the interests of his mastermind first, and then expand his ambition little by little. In order to become famous, he has given up too many things and will have to give up more in the future.
'Maybe he is just young and impatient!' After pondering for a long time, Li Jing pondered with hope in his heart and sighed again under the concerned eyes of everyone. He cleared his throat and whispered: "Now Shibi Khan is pouring all his strength into the grassland.
Then, coupled with the support of Liu Wuzhou and Liang Division, these internal thieves, the force was like a landslide. Our Central Plains soldiers and horses in Zhuojun and Yanmen were like two arms, firmly blocking the Turkic wolf cavalry from outside the Great Wall, but the long-term
As time goes on, whether the Crown Prince and General Li are in Zhuo County or the Detachment of Women in Yanmen, they will be very exhausted. If they want to reverse the entire unfavorable situation, either one of the two armies can switch from defense to offense and enter the depths of the grassland.
Either the Khan will be forced to retreat or a third group of troops from the Central Plains will enter the battlefield at a critical moment, and Shi will be caught off guard!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up, and then dimmed quickly. Li Jing's analysis gave everyone hope again, but this hope was as slim as a Buddhist chant outside the sky.
"Where did the third line of troops come from? Dou Jiande is just a bandit. Even if all his people are out, they won't have much effect!" Hou Junji smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't count on Luo Yi's tiger cavalry. If he didn't take the initiative to withdraw the cavalry to Liaodong, he would not have had the courage to choose Zhuojun as a breakthrough point!" Speaking of the unexpected reinforcements, Changsun Wuji also had a sad face, "If Xue Ju didn't spy
Fufeng...?" An impossible situation jumped into his heart, causing his worried eyes to suddenly light up again, and then he quickly turned to Li Shimin
"Brother Yao, is there any way to defeat Xue Ju quickly?" Fang Xuanling spoke again, with the same idea as Changsun Wuji. "If our army defeats Xue Ju quickly and stabilizes Fufeng, we will have the opportunity to serve as the most critical soldier." He jumped
The louder he spoke, his face unknowingly became as red as fire. "Hasn't the Second Young Master always regretted that the Crown Prince has the reputation of resisting foreign humiliation? If I attack from the right at the critical moment, wouldn't it be equally powerful to restore Tianhe's reputation? Even if the Crown Prince in the future
There is no room for the Second Young Master. With such great achievements being remembered by the world, he must not dare to push the Second Young Master too much!"
Hearing this, everyone here immediately turned their attention to Li Shimin. This was indeed a solution, although it was very, very difficult to complete. Under the gaze of everyone, the young and energetic Li Shimin also became nervous, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
, pondered for a while, and then responded in a very uncertain tone: "If we can defeat Xue Ju quickly, I am indeed willing to lead the army northward, but you should also know that Xue Ju is coming in a menacing way, and it may not be so easy to defeat him. Even if
We can stabilize Fufeng and Guanzhong within two or three months. I have to listen to my father's considerations and whether we can catch up with the fierce battle on the Great Wall. It is also very difficult to determine..."
"If the Second Young Master gives the order, Li is willing to work with you to plan a quick victory!" Li Jing promised without hesitation before others could look at him.
"The final general is willing to go all out!" Hou Junji also stood up and took the initiative to give Li Jing advice on how to win quickly. He still didn't like Li Jing, but now was not the time to fight with him.
"Please make a decision, Second Young Master!" Changsun Wuji followed Hou Junji behind him and urged in a low voice.
"Second Young Master, please consider Brother Fang's proposal!" Du Ruhui, who had been silent until now, also stood up and made a serious suggestion.
Seeing the turbulent sentiment among his subordinates, Li Shimin was also moved. He didn't want to leave the impression that he had neglected public affairs for personal reasons, and he didn't want to be compared with his brother. Deep in his heart, he still missed the bloody battle against Yanmen with Li Xu very much.
Although those days were very tiring, they left unforgettable memories in people’s hearts.
"If we can defeat Xue Ju within half a month..." Li Shimin clenched his fists and said thoughtfully, "If we can defeat Xue Ju within half a month, we may be able to stabilize Fufeng and Guanzhong within one and a half months! Then we can take the initiative to ask my father to serve..."
.”
Before he could finish speaking, his words were quickly interrupted by a gloomy voice, "Second Young Master, please think twice!" Changsun Shunde pushed away the crowd and walked quickly to Li Shimin, "We will suffer huge losses in a decisive battle with Xue Ju.
It’s very big. If you don’t seize the opportunity to get out of the blockade, you may draw all the wolf rider’s attention to yourself!”
These words sounded very unpleasant, but they made everyone slightly stunned. Xue Ju's troops were not weak. If they were too eager to seek a decisive battle with him, Changsun Shunde said that the situation would be very likely to happen. In that case, all the right army would be defeated.
If the army is destroyed, not only will there be no need to compete with Jiancheng for the throne of the crown prince, I'm afraid they won't even be able to find a place to be buried!
"General Changsun makes sense!" Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Du Ruhui stepped out from the crowd and stood side by side with Changsun Shunde. "Du thought that the dispute over the crown prince's position was a family matter, but going north to fight against the enemy was a state matter. No matter what the reason was,
, national affairs must be put before family affairs!"
