Frankly speaking, both generals agree with Li Xiang's method, and they have achieved results before. However, we don't know much about the situation on the grassland. If they lose their troops and the city, they will
Nor can I bear this responsibility.
"There are risks in everything we do. If we continue to do it in the original way, of course there may not be any risks, but the court's millions of money will be wasted, and we have no way to impose sanctions on Tuyuhun, so
This is like reincarnation, it happens every time. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will no longer be able to make decisions in this place, and the people in Tuyuhun will become more and more arrogant."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, everyone present nodded. Tuyuhun was just a small country, and its overall national strength was not comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty. But just because they adopted such a strategy, the Tang Dynasty suddenly took advantage of them.
There is nothing they can do, this also makes them more and more arrogant.
"Do you have a specific strategy?"
General Qin Qiong worried about the country and the people, and every time he went on an expedition, he wasted people and money. If Tuyuhun could not be completely eliminated this time, then he would be a sinner to the Tang Dynasty.
"Returning to the general, we can send a small group of elites, with Liangzhou City as the center, to fight back and forth southward. Only by killing them until they are painful and afraid will they know how powerful our Datang is. Even if we have cities that are destroyed by them.
We have broken through, but these armies will never return to defense and continue to fight in Tuyuhun territory, making them unable to find us and confused. To put it bluntly, we are fighting them to the limit of consumption."
Li Xiang briefly talked about his strategy, and the people present were surprised. They knew that Li Xiang's method was correct, but if he did this, he would probably lose some cities that he could not take care of.
If this happens, it depends on the court's ability to bear it.
Everyone present understands that Li Xiang's strategy is correct. If we fight against Tuyuhun, they will never be our opponent. Even if we lose one or two cities, the entire Tang Empire will still be able to operate intact.
It's just that everyone feels uncomfortable.
But if they fight back and forth on the land of Tuyuhun, it will bring them huge disasters every time. They will deal with several of their tribes at once, and wait until they can no longer spare any people, which is when the war ends.
"In your opinion, how many teams should we send to intimidate them into surrendering?"
When General Qin Qiong asked this question, it meant that he was already tempted. Although Li Xiang's strategy is more risky, if it can be implemented continuously, the first party to be unable to hold on will definitely be Tuyuhun.
We can change the dilemma on the southwest border in one fell swoop.
"At least three armies, with a number of about 5,000 to 8,000, all equipped with two horses, must be the elite of our army. In the next half month, they will not have any time to rest. They will fight all the way to tear Tuyuhun apart.
Open a huge wound so that they have no time to attack our city. When they mobilize all their troops to encircle and suppress these three armies, our army can swarm forward and we can cooperate with each other internally and externally to annihilate the Tuyuhun army."
Li Xiang drew three lines on the map. These three lines are the lines where the three elite armies will fight back and forth. If they move quickly enough, Tuyuhun will have to make major strategic adjustments in up to half a month. By then,
If our scouts are effective, they can capture their main force.
I have to say that this is a very bold idea. In the history of our battle with Tuyuhun, there has never been an example of taking the initiative. Even if we were to take the initiative, we would have set a target. This time there was no target. To put it bluntly,
It's just a matter of picking the weak ones. You have dozens of tribes on these three lines. If you can't defeat this one, you can attack the next one, as long as you cause them heavy losses.
"General, I think this plan is feasible, and I am willing to personally lead a team to go south."
Cheng Chumo has been silent, but it does not mean that he is not thinking. After doing some deductions on the map just now, he believes that this strategy is definitely possible to become a reality. Even we are surprised by such a strategy. The people of Tuyuhun
It is even more impossible to imagine that the most feared thing on the battlefield is this kind of sudden appearance of strange soldiers.
"The general also agrees that the three armies we sent are not isolated and can be contacted in various ways. The three armies are only a hundred miles apart. If mutual support is needed, it will only take two hours.
The three armies only have a few thousand men separately, but together they are nearly 20,000 people. Even if we encounter the Tuyuhun army, we can hold on for a while and wait for the arrival of our army."
Qin Huaiyu also figured it out. They didn't speak just now because they didn't know how to command this army. Now the two of them have been deducing on the sand table for a long time, and they know that this method is indeed feasible. Although it is a bit risky, but now
In this case, this may be the only way to solve the shortcomings on the southwest border. If you think of solving Tuyuhun without losing anything, this is obviously unrealistic.
Other generals also started to argue. Li Xiang admired the atmosphere here very much. If everyone can't make different voices, it means that we can't find the disadvantages. Before setting off,
The louder the objections from others before, the better, then we will be able to solve all the drawbacks. Once we solve them all, then we will be a tiger and wolf division that goes deep into the grassland.
Jin Wang Li Zhi felt deeply frustrated. Before, he just wanted to oppose Li Xiang's limelight, but when everyone started arguing, he found that his military knowledge was weak. Even if he wanted to intervene in the objection, he could not find any theoretical knowledge. At this moment, he could only
Maybe he stood aside angrily.
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin also joined the debate. After an hour and a half of debate, all the problems that needed to be solved were solved. Some unresolved problems could only be left to these generals to improvise on the spot, which basically established the
The feasibility of Li Xiang’s plan.
"Qin Huaiyu."
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead eight thousand elite troops to attack along the left road and maintain contact with Li Xiang's troops in the middle."
"Li Xiang."
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead your elite troops, plus General Cheng's three thousand cavalry, to attack along the middle road, and maintain contact with the left and right routes."
"Cheng Chumo."
"The end will be here."
"Order your eight thousand cavalry to attack along the right road and maintain contact with the center..."
