As soon as Zhang Xiao and his party left Qutang Pass, the Tang Dynasty King's Master followed them closely.
However, the army did not immediately send troops to attack the city, but instead set up camp ten miles outside the pass.
Within Tang Camp.
Gao Zhixing called Xu Lang and others to discuss the next strategic deployment in the Chinese military tent.
Just when everyone was arguing over whether to attack Qutang Pass, Yuchi Jingde suddenly opened the curtain and walked in.
After looking at the people in the tent, Yuchi Jingde's eyes were fixed on Gao Zhixing's face.
"Xiao Gao, what exactly do you think?"
"Why not take advantage of our army's overwhelming momentum and attack the city directly?"
Yuchi Jingde was a little confused.
We obviously have all the advantages, so why not take this opportunity to capture Qutang Pass in one fell swoop.
Instead, they set up camp here and waste their advantages.
Obviously, although Yuchi Jingde is a general of such an age, he still has the soul of a reckless man in his heart.
How could Qutang Pass be defeated so easily?
Gao Zhixing couldn't help but said: "Old General Yuchi, it's not that I don't want to fight."
"It's true that Qutang Pass is far from easily conquerable."
"After all, Qutang Pass, as the eastern gateway to Shu, is as prestigious as Jianmen Pass."
"If our troops attack rashly without careful deployment, we may end up being the loser."
Originally, the purpose of Gao Zhixing's words was to express that Qutang Pass was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Unexpectedly, Yuchi Jingde became even more angry after hearing this.
He said: "Then we can't just wait here."
"We want cannons, we have cannons, we want morale, we have morale. It can be said that we have what we want."
"No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, we should attack him first."
Yuchi Jingde looked straight at Gao Zhixing and said, "You kid, don't forget that His Royal Highness is still in the west."
"If Zhang Xiao, that little bastard, takes someone with him at this time, If we go back to support him, His Highness the Crown Prince will be in a dangerous situation."
Yuchi Jingde was now impatient to attack the city, and also wanted to go to Shu and Yizhou City as soon as possible.
After all, Li Chengqian had already started fighting over there.
And if at this time, Zhang Xiao takes the fifteen thousand elite soldiers to fight back.
Li Chengqian is bound to fall into decline.
You know, when Li Shimin sent him out, his biggest purpose was to let him help Li Chengqian share his worries and protect his safety.
But who would have thought that Li Chengqian not only refused Li Shimin's order, but left him in Jiangnan Road to fight the rebellion.
Later, this kid also ventured into Shu alone and fought his way to Shu.
This period of time also made him anxious.
All day long, he thought about rushing to Shu and bringing that kid out.
Ever since, the previous scene happened, where he and his men broke into the Shu army camp without communicating with Gao Zhixing.
Although the battle was won.
But it has to be said that luck played a large role in that war.
After all, almost all of Yuchi Jingde's elite men were cavalry.
Although the area around Fuzhou City is not entirely hilly, it is also densely covered with forests.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for cavalry to take advantage against infantry.
After all, you don’t even have the advantage of speed, so who is still afraid of you?
But what happened was that Zhang Xiao successively attacked the defense line where the Xiangyang Army was stationed.
Although the Shu Army did not lose too many men when attacking the Xiangyang Army, it really consumed a lot of energy.
Moreover, the successive defeats also sapped the momentum of the Shu army and brought their morale to a freezing point.
That’s why Yuchi Jingde broke into the Shu army’s formation, causing the Shu army to
A scene of chaos in the military.
If it hadn't been for what happened earlier and Yuchi Jingde and the Bingzhou cavalry rushed in, he might have been surrounded by Zhang Xiao before he could do anything.
But Yuchi Jingde couldn't control that much.
In his heart, nothing is more important than Li Chengqian's safety.
Not to mention whether this guy is a prince or not.
Simply speaking, if Li Shimin gave him an order to protect a person, he would not hesitate to do so.
If under such circumstances, Li Chengqian really had his shortcomings, there would be no need for him, Old Yuchi, to look like this.
Don't worry about whether you can hold your head up in front of your colleagues in the future.
Just talking about Cheng Yaojin, I'm afraid I would have to chase him all day long and ridicule him endlessly.
Thinking of these things, Yuchi Jingde became even more melancholy.
He looked straight at Gao Zhixing and said, "If Xiao Gao you are not willing to send troops to attack Qutang Pass, then I, Yuchi, won't say anything more."
"I will leave all the royal masters of the imperial court to you."
"I just hope you can send me 10,000 elite infantry and five or six days of dry food first."
"I will take my brothers directly around Qutang Pass and go to Shu to support the prince. You can just waste your time here with them."
Obviously, this guy is really anxious.
Now I actually have the intention to fight for my life.
Looking at his appearance, Gao Zhixing couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
He said: "Old General Yuchi, don't be anxious."
"I didn't say I wouldn't attack Qutang Pass."
"I'm just saying that now is not the time."
"Besides, if you want to support the prince, we have to make a good plan."
"Otherwise, if the person is not rescued and then he gets involved in it, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
Gao Zhixing pointed to the strategic sand table in front of him and said: "To tell you the truth, we were just discussing this matter."
"For cities of the level of Qutang Pass and Baidi City, if you want to attack To defeat them, we will definitely not be able to do it without ten days and a half month."
"So, I also thought about giving up the siege."
"But giving up the siege does not mean that we will not intimidate the opponent."
"After all, if you don't intimidate them, they will definitely take action."
"At that time, whether it cuts off our army's logistics or double-teams our army with the remaining soldiers, it will become a nightmare for our army."
"So, after much thought, I decided to keep the large army here."
"But at the same time, I am ready to send an elite team of 10,000 people to bypass Qutang Pass and Baidi City."
As Gao Zhixing drew his hand across the sand table, a clearly visible road suddenly appeared on the sand table.
"This road is difficult to walk, but it is not impossible."
"And I guess Zhang Xiao and others are also taking this path."
"I request that this team, while pursuing Zhang Xiao and the remaining defeated generals, take advantage of the situation and attack the hinterland of Dongchuan."
Gao Zhixing glanced at Yuchi Jingde and said with a smile: "Actually, I have thought about everything, but I have not chosen who will lead this team."
"Isn't that right?"
"This team will be led by me."
"At that time, no matter what the credit is, it will be counted as your top priority."
Hearing what he said, Yuchi Jingde was extremely happy.
He came here today to discuss this matter, but unexpectedly the two of them actually thought of going together.
Gao Zhixing chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether I have credit or not."
"I only hope that the old general can complete this task smoothly."
"After all, as you just said, His Highness is in Yizhou."
"And you will also be His Highness's only support on the eastern front."
Gao Zhixing looked straight at Yuchi Jingde and said: "So, General Yuchi, you can only succeed in this battle and not fail..."
