Chapter Six: Holding the Principle (Six Part One) Anyone who has been through the struggle between life and death will not be too narrow-minded. Moreover, everyone is facing a common enemy at this time, so Wang Fubao changed his mind slightly, and the soldiers of Hedong stopped pursuing him.
Harsh words hurt people, and a sudden storm was quietly resolved with laughter.
The military meeting was still chaired by Li Jiancheng, and all the news presented by Lin Lin were good news. However, Xuzi felt a little drunk. Some very important military information was heard through the left ear, and came out from the right ear in the blink of an eye.
Leave the slightest impression in my mind
In Li Xu's impression, the two veteran generals Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu are currently the only two thorns in Hedong who still support Jiangdu. After Dongdu's troops retreated, the two veteran generals' retreat routes were completely blocked by Liu Hongji and Liu Hongji.
Chai Shao was blocked, and the morale of his subordinates must have plummeted. So when he heard that the Dongdu troops were withdrawing, he immediately thought of the fate of Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu. Li Jiancheng's answer just verified his inference. Qu Tutong was right.
The Sui Dynasty completely lost confidence. Even if Yaojun's Su tribe could hold on for a few more days than Qu Tutong's tribe, it would not be able to avoid the end of the entire army being destroyed.
This is great news for the Li family in Hedong and the Great Wall defense line. After Qu Tutong surrendered, the troops and horses of the capital could go north along the straight line between Shushui and Fenhe River to support Yanmen and Zhuojun. They no longer had to go around Fengyijun.
big circle
But in this way, I am afraid that Yang Guang, who is far away in Jiangdu, will never have a chance to return north. Although it was to resist the Turkic invasion, Boling had to join forces with Hedong, but after careful calculation, he still failed him in the end! Thinking of this section,
Li Xu felt a sense of sadness in his heart
If the current development rate continues, I am afraid that within a year, no princes in the world will have the strength to compete with Li Yuan. Within five years, the Central Plains will be reunified under the Li family and the Sui Dynasty will cease to exist, creating countless disasters.
His Majesty the Emperor, who has given me countless opportunities, will have no place to stay and I will become a military general of the Tang family and a gravedigger of the Sui Dynasty. Beyond the expectations of my two masters, I will slowly become the next Li Yuan and Xue Shixiong.
Or Yu Wenshu
Is all this what he wants? Xuzi doesn't know. He just feels so tired of some of the days he has experienced that he doesn't want to repeat them. How to make these days not to repeat? He can't find any way at the moment. He can only
Go with the flow and take one step at a time, just like he once promised a future to Shi Defang and others. In fact, he, the leader, does not know exactly where the future of the Boling Army lies.
At this time, there is no master in the world who can provide him with guidance. Xuzi can only rely on himself to understand, explore by himself, and bear all the confusion and confusion in the groping. There are roads everywhere, but no one leads to the end.
The feeling of confusion wrapped around him like a poisonous snake, making his limbs weak and the tip of his nose numb, as if he was having a nightmare with his eyes open. He always wanted to wake up, but couldn't move.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, his silent behavior at the military meeting will definitely attract attention. Soon, everyone stopped speaking and turned their attention to him. Seeing Xu Zi's face was gray and there were beads of sweat on his temples, Li Jiancheng immediately
He leaned over, probed his forehead like a brother, and asked with concern: "Is Zhong Jian too tired? How about we discuss the rest of the military situation tomorrow, and you go back to rest first?"
"Ah, oh, it's okay, everyone, keep going!" Li Xu instinctively leaned back to avoid Li Jiancheng's palm, then quickly straightened his body and replied sarcastically.
"Actually, we have almost reached an agreement. General Li Shimin has reached a contract with Xue Ju. He can come to support at any time. If the general feels it is necessary, he will make a decision for this!" Shi Defang's mind was changing quickly and he guessed it.
Just now, my coach must have been in a state of confusion. He repeated the previous topic by asking for opinions.
"Senior Chen means to let General Li Shimin stay as a backup and not rush to the front line. But General Zhang believes that it is difficult to predict the development of the current situation. With more troops coming, we will be more certain of victory."
Since General Li Shimin has made peace with Xue Ju, we should rush over immediately!" Fang Yannian was summarizing the various points he had just made while glancing at Li Jiancheng out of the corner of his eye.
With the help of tips from two close aides, Xu Zi, who came to his senses, immediately understood the content of the dispute. Li Shimin led the right army under the command of King Tang to resist Xue Ju's attack in front of Fufeng. This information was something he had already mastered based on Xue Ju's attack.
With the strength shown by the King of Heaven at that time, everyone in the Boling Army believed that it would be a fierce battle in which the winner would be difficult to determine in a short period of time. However, Li Shimin was able to stabilize the situation immediately after arriving in Fufeng. It is not said that his methods are not clever, but because of his strength.
Why could Xue Ju shake hands with Li Shimin and make peace when he was not injured? This is really puzzling unless someone can restrain Xue Ju from behind, or King Xue Tian also thinks that when the Turkic wolves ride south to knock the pass,
, the heroes of the Central Plains really shouldn’t fight to the death anymore...
For the entire Great Wall defense line, these suspense are not important. What is important right now is that Li Shimin has the ability to come to help, and Prince Jiancheng obviously does not want his younger brother to get involved and steal the limelight of leading the people to resist foreign humiliation. Therefore, the final
Decisions can only be made by Li Xu, the nominal commander-in-chief. Only his qualifications and prestige can make all relevant people speechless after the decision is made.
"I also agree to let Shimin's right army serve as a backup!" Li Xu pondered for a moment, and then quickly gave the answer that many people hoped for. Looking around his colleagues, he could clearly see the joy on the face of the left army general.
The gap between the brothers is getting deeper and deeper!" He came to this conclusion in his heart. At the same time, when he first met brother Li Jiancheng, the scene of Shimin's respect and attachment to his eldest brother quickly flashed before his eyes.
"If the King of Tang allows it, I suggest asking General Li Shimin to lead his troops to Taiyuan!" After a pause, Li Xu added that he didn't want to get too involved in the dispute between the Li Jiancheng brothers, so he simply compromised and arranged for Li Shimin to lead the troops.
When stationed in Taiyuan, if the Great Wall defense line is in emergency, Li Shimin can either support Yanmen or pass through Jingxing Pass to support the six counties of Hebei. If the Ashina brothers are defeated in a battle, there will naturally be no right-wing troops in the front, and Li Jiancheng doesn't have to worry too much.
His own edge was overshadowed by his younger brother
"I will work on my book tonight and rush Zhongjian's suggestion to the capital at a speed of 800 miles!" Li Jiancheng got what he wanted and said very happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xu smiled and handed over his hand.
After solving the big trouble of Li Shimin, there will be no more debates on other issues. The front line lacks equipment and food reserves, and the living conditions of the soldiers are also very difficult. Therefore, all assistance from the rear is welcome. As for the strategy of dealing with foreign enemies, so far
So far, the strategy of sending cavalry and a small number of troops to attack repeatedly along the outside of the Great Wall has been very effective. Therefore, Wang Xuba and others who had returned to the Red Castle had to go out again. The large group of troops rushing to Gutuolu were not killed.
Before arriving, clear out some of the tribes who came to fight the autumn wind in advance. As for Luo Yi's new movements, Li Xu and Jiancheng also sent more soldiers to guard against them.
In addition, in view of the current ambiguous attitude of the Youzhou Army, everyone has to send thousands more troops to Shanggu to receive the grain that will be sent to the front line. After the ships arrive at the junction of Hejian County and Zhuo County, in order to prevent Youzhou Army from
After being intercepted by the state army, they could no longer go through the canal and could only go up the Juma River-Laishui River. The officers, soldiers and civilians had to unload the grain and fodder at the southern foot of the big bend of Laishui River, and then move it overland to Zhuojun.
Administer Huairong
After such a toss-up, it would take less than half a month longer to transport the fleet to Huairong via the North Canal via Ji County and Sanggan River, and the losses along the way would also increase several times. But compared to being swallowed by Luo Yi, it was still "lucky"
a lot
"I remember General Wang once said that in this batch of grain, in addition to the part provided by Prince Dou, someone else contributed. I wonder who this person is, how can he be so generous?" Arrangements were made for grain transportation and
Escort question, Li Xu asked with a frown.
When talking about this matter during the day, Li Jiancheng and Wang Fubao obviously did not want too many people to know the name of the person who contributed. However, after repeated consideration, Li Xu was shocked to find that there is only one person who can do what Wang Fubao introduced.
, single-handedly provided most of this batch of food and grass.
Only this person has so much extra grain on hand. Only this person has the ability to make Dou Jiande not doubt his intentions and smoothly provide all conveniences to the grain ship. This person's name is so familiar to Xu Zi, and he hopes so much. Every time
Thinking about it, there will be a warmth in my heart
At this time, there were only the core figures of the three families left in the military tent, so there was no need for Li Jiancheng to be pretentious. He smiled and replied in a low voice: "I know Zhong Jian will definitely have this question when he asks about Prince Dou's letter."
Specifically stated that this person hopes that this batch of food and grass will be sent out in the name of the Dou family army. Prince Dou is an upright man and is unwilling to take the credit of others, so everyone can only keep it vague..."
"It's the grain that was moved from Liyang warehouse! So you know who sent it!" Wang Fubao thought Li Jiancheng was too long-winded, so he took over the conversation and said loudly
The food in Liyang's warehouse during the Great Sui Dynasty was nourished by the food of the Central Plains. At that moment, the person who delivered the food did not think that he belonged to Wagang. He was subject to suspicion. He only remembered that he was from the Central Plains and only remembered his brother.
