If we talk about Li Shimin, he is really interesting.
In front of his son, he almost always has a dark face.
It seems that only in this way can he show his majesty as a father.
But anyone can see how much this guy dotes on his son and how much he cares about his son.
When his son went out, he wanted to send out 10,000 informants to monitor his son's activities at any time.
Of course, this isn't a desire for control, it's just a simple desire to help him when he needs help the most.
Of course, Li Chengqian also knew this.
That's why sometimes he would be so unscrupulous and feel free to expose his back to the enemy.
Because he knew that his exposed back was actually the most dangerous place.
Because there has already been a dragnet laid by Li Shimin...
…
Xue Yantuo, Pugu Department.
Two months is enough time to change a lot of things.
For example, they had only 20,000 old and weak soldiers at the beginning, but now they have an army of more than 50,000 people.
And among these 50,000 people, there are still 20,000 soldiers who were trained according to the training specifications of the Qianzi Camp of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, these soldiers have not yet been baptized in blood and tempered by the flames of war.
But their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
After all, war is what the grassland tribes have been experiencing since they were born.
To a certain extent, this is the reason why they are stronger than the Tang people.
Although they are in awe of death, they are not afraid of it.
Especially when it comes to protecting their pastures and families, they are more willing to sacrifice everything.
In fact, they can pay more than the Tang people.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a difference in education methods.
A person has been taught since childhood that he should study hard, be filial to his parents, and be loyal to his motherland.
The other one was indoctrinated from an early age , The weak will eat the strong, and if you don't have a strong fist, you will be beaten.
And this is also the reason why the people of the Central Plains will be bullied by the nomads as long as they fall behind a little bit.
Fortunately, their eyes are not on the Central Plains people now.
What they looked at was their next-door neighbor, the clan brother of their own khan.
Nowadays, the momentum of Ba Zhuo's Eastern Expedition has become more and more intense.
Not only had he invaded a large amount of the grazing land of the Servant Bones Department, but now he was also driving his troops directly into the Servant Bones Department.
Look at that, I'm afraid it won't be long before a large-scale war begins.
And the Yimang side is now beginning to no longer tolerate it.
And they also launched a counterattack a few days ago.
The two sides did not invest many troops, with a total of only 2,000 men.
But this war also showed the current strength of both sides.
Although the Yimang tribe has fewer troops, due to the presence of Luo Ding'an and his group, their combat power cannot be underestimated.
Especially the coordination of various soldiers and horses brought great trouble to Bazhuo's vanguard troops.
Even in the subsequent firefight, the Bazhuo army was crushed by the Yimang army.
In the end, more than a thousand troops of the Bazhuo Army were killed and stripped of their armor. In the end, only less than a hundred of the more than a thousand troops fled back to the camp in embarrassment.
Yimang was extremely excited when he learned about this.
This is the first time in so many years that he has defeated Bazhuo.
He looked directly at Grossang, who was personally leading the troops on the expedition, and said: "The general is so brave that he is unparalleled in the world."
"Today we have also defeated the vanguard of Bazhuo, which can be considered as extinguishing their arrogance."
After saying that, he looked at the others and said: "You have all seen it, our troops are not that unbearable, our generals
Soldiers are also fierce and brave warriors."
"So, I decided that we would launch a counterattack immediately."
After hearing this, Huang Fanzhi on the side said: "Khan, now we have just won a battle."
"It would be unwise to rush into China rashly because of this."
"So I suggest that Khan should formulate a strategic plan first and then decide to send troops."
What he said was of course the truth.
Although they were victorious at the moment.
But looking at the entire battlefield, looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops in Bazhuo.
This wasn't even a small victory for them, at most it was just giving the other side a little lesson.
It would be really irrational to treat the other party as a cattle and sheep to be slaughtered because of this.
And Yi Mang naturally knew this.
However, he really has no talent in the military field.
Therefore, he directly focused his gaze on Duan Zan beside him.
Duan Zan was sent to him by Li Chengqian to help him formulate battle plans.
At this moment, he naturally wanted to go on stage to speak.
Duan Zan didn't hesitate when he saw him looking at him.
He immediately said: "Don't worry Khan, I have already made a plan."
With that said, Duan Zan walked to the map.
He said: "Now, Bazhuo personally leads three troops to attack."
"These three divisions are nothing more than Xue Luo, Tong Luo and Fu Luo."
As he spoke, he marked the location of the enemy troops on the map with his hand.
"I have to say that Khan, the king's brother, is indeed capable in marching and fighting."
"Especially in the formation of troops, it can be seen."
"When the three troops advance, Tong Luo is in front, Xue Luo follows closely behind, and Fu Luo is at the rear, forming a triangle." "No matter which side receives an attack, the other two sides can support it as quickly as possible."
Hearing this, Yimang rubbed his chin.
He said: "According to the general's wishes, who do you want to attack first?"
Duan Zan said: "Fu Luo is the headquarters of Bazhuo. According to reports, there are 50,000 troops."
"But we don't need to worry about them at all, because they are too far away from us and are at the very back."
After talking about Fu Luo, Duan Zan immediately said: "The two groups on the left and right are respectively 50,000 people from the Tongluo tribe and 30,000 people from the Xue Luo tribe."
"Originally, I planned to start with the Xue Luo tribe. After all, they have a small number of people."
"But when I think about it later, I should change my thinking at this time."
Duan Zan took a picture of the map and said: "Although the Xueluo tribe has a small number of people, the military formation is far away from us, but closer to Bazhuo's headquarters."
"If our army attacks, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by three groups of soldiers and horses from Bazhuo before we can defeat them."
"This is not the case with the Tongluo tribe. Although they have many people, they are very close to us."
"At the same time, these guys should be eager to make contributions and want to end the battle as soon as possible."
"So, they're advancing very quickly."
Duan Zan said: "So, I suggest that we attack Bazhuo's left vanguard first, the Tongluo tribe..."
After saying that, without waiting for Yimang to speak, he continued to point to the map and said: "The mountains here are very mountainous. I have already surveyed them a few days ago."
"If the Tongluo tribe wants to attack the king's tent of the Pugu tribe, they must pass through the long and narrow valley in the middle of Hujin Mountain."
"As the art of war goes, valleys have been a good place for ambushes since ancient times."
Duan Zan looked at Yimang and said, "So I suggest that a heavy army be laid in ambush here, led by the Khan himself."
"That's no problem."
Yi Mang hesitated for a moment, then said: "But what if they don't take this path..."
