Naturally, it was the unlucky commander-in-chief of the Shu army, Qu Zhen.
After hearing Li Chengqian's order, Cheng Huailiang didn't think much and just followed Li Chengqian's instructions.
And the next few days.
Both the Shu army and the Liangzhou army entered the truce stage.
The Liangzhou Army no longer took the initiative to attack. The Shu Army was attacked at its base camp and had no choice but to stand still.
However, Shang Yunxian was able to keep his composure, but the Shu army's rear area was a bit fried.
When the news that the base camp at the foot of Jianmen Mountain was attacked and all the food, grass and baggage were burned down came back to Yizhou.
Li Ke was so angry that he almost sent an envoy to behead Shang Yunxian alive.
"Thirty thousand people."
"A total of thirty thousand people."
"And they are all elite members of the military."
"How dare you make such a stupid mistake."
Li Ke cursed loudly: "What does Shang Yunxian do for a living? Can't he understand such a simple defensive battle?"
Facing the furious Li Ke, everyone around him did not dare to say a word.
Don't look at Li Ke's young age.
But this guy's prestige in Shu is quite high.
At the beginning, Li Shimin sent Hou Jun to gather here in order to nip the problem in the bud.
But as a result, Hou Junji was ostracized and suppressed everywhere. Even when Li Ke announced his rebellion, Hou Junji was immediately surrounded.
If this old guy hadn't run so fast, he might have died.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry."
And just when the counselors did not dare to say a word, a voice suddenly sounded.
This person was none other than Zhuge Ying, the counselor in Li Ketang.
"After all, the person he is facing is Li Chengqian."
"Your Highness also knows very well what this guy is like."
"He never plays his cards according to routines in battles, and many people have suffered losses at his hands."
"But equally, it was also because of his uneasy rules that he suffered a lot." "So, we don't have to panic about temporary gains and losses."
Zhuge Ying continued: "What's more, we just lost some food and baggage now."
"In terms of personnel, our elite are still there, so the real losses are not big."
"And our General Shang Yun Xian Shang is a traditional general."
"When you encounter someone like Li Chengqian who has no rules when it comes to fighting, it's normal to suffer losses in the early stage."
"But as long as he seizes the advantage, the Liangzhou Army will definitely be able to fight without even having a chance to breathe."
"And Your Highness, you need to know."
"The war has just begun..."
Zhuge Ying's words of emotion and reason really convinced Li Ke.
Li Ke took a deep breath, then looked up at Zhuge Ying and said, "Then what do you think we should do next?"
Zhuge Ying pursed his lips and stroked his goatee again.
Immediately, he slowly said: "When marching and fighting, food and grass come first."
"Our army must first collect food and grass and transport them outside Jianmen Pass."
"Send elite generals to take advantage of the situation and take over General Qu Zhenqu's duties to avoid other situations in the army."
"And I would also like to suggest something to Your Highness."
Zhuge Ying looked at Li Ke and said: "When doing this, we must first comfort the families of the fallen soldiers, even higher than our original pension standards."
"Only in this way can the soldiers on the front line fight for His Highness and for righteousness without any worries."
Hearing this, Li Ke nodded.
He also felt that what Zhuge Ying said made sense.
"What you said makes sense, just do what you say."
Then, he paused and said, "Then who do you think should be sent to replace Qu Zhen now?"
"List
Fu Kuan."
Zhuge Ying looked straight at Li Ke.
Hearing this, Li Ke was also surprised.
He said: "But what will happen to Southern Xinjiang if he comes back?"
The Chen Fukuan Zhuge Ying talks about is no one else.
It was the border general that Li Ke placed in southern Xinjiang.
For many years, he has been the vanguard for Li Ke, overcoming obstacles in the front.
And if he is transferred back today, there will be no generals available in the southern border of Shu.
If the southern countries take this opportunity to launch an attack, they may even occupy Shu territory.
Regardless of whether this war is won or lost, Li Ke will really become a sinner for the ages.
But Zhuge Ying said calmly: "This is a matter of choice for Your Highness. If you ask me, I only have two choices."
"One is Zhang Xiao."
"Although General Zhang is young, he has a lot of energy and will never lose to Li Chengqian."
"The elite team he leads is bound to be able to overcome all obstacles, and no matter how much advantage it takes, it will definitely not suffer a loss."
"But didn't you send him to the Eastern Front?"
"And if Zhang Xiao cannot be present."
"Then only Chen Fukuan can stabilize the current situation."
"What's more, he often teamed up with Shang Yunxian to attack before, and there was a perfect understanding between the two."
"This time, the two of them will work together to achieve the same glory as before."
Zhuge Ying said: "As for the southern Xinjiang issue that His Highness mentioned, I actually think that His Highness does not need to worry too much."
"After all, in the previous war, they were beaten to the point of being unable to breathe. All they need to do is to take strict precautions."
After hearing these words, Li Ke felt a little more at ease.
In the end, he decided to transfer Chen Fukuan back.
…
At the same time, Liangzhou Military Camp.
Cheng Huailiang also lived up to Li Chengqian's trust.
r>
He actually got back more than three thousand kilograms of hemp rope within five days.
Of course, the origin of these hemp ropes is really hard to tell.
All I can say is that he deserves to be the son of Cheng Yaojin.
After the hemp rope came back, Li Chengqian finally made a big move.
He personally went into battle and led all the craftsmen and civilians in the army to make large nets out of hemp ropes, as well as huge hanging boards similar to the elevators of later generations.
However, this net is not for fishing, but for rock climbing.
When he saw the rock wall, Li Chengqian thought of a movie he had watched in his previous life.
The protagonist in the movie also faces this situation.
The enemy troops defended from a high position on the towering cliff.
The protagonist's team uses nets to climb up the mountain.
Of course, in addition, there are hanging boards and a series of other things that can transport logistics materials to the top of the mountain.
And Li Chengqian's purpose is also obvious.
He just wants to imitate the scenes in the movie and let the soldiers climb to the top of the mountain through these things.
Then fortifications were built on the top of the mountain to resist the Shu army's attack and at the same time launch attacks against the opponent.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as overcoming the natural dangers of Jianshan Mountain.
As for the logistical problems mentioned before, Li Chengqian also solved them in another way.
That is to build fortifications at the foot of the mountain and use the camp at the foot of the mountain as your own main formation.
In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of logistics, but also be used as a reserve place for reserve troops.
Once the attack on the mountain is too fierce, the people below can support it in the shortest possible time.
Similarly, injured soldiers above can also be transported to the formation for treatment through the hanging board.
I have to say that Li Chengqian's idea is a bit whimsical.
But in war, doesn’t it mean that you have to be imaginative in order to achieve a surprise victory...
