In ancient times, fighting did not mean that you could fight whoever you wanted.
It’s not like the coach said this battle would be fought and he would be able to fight it.
You know, people will die in war.
Almost everyone in the army has their heads pinned to their belts.
Moreover, the life of the general is life, and the life of the soldiers is also life.
So when the general chooses his soldiers, the soldiers also choose their general.
If a general who is neither influential nor famous enough is allowed to lead them, they will also become resistant.
After all, they are not familiar with you, so why would they follow you to death?
Of course, generals like Li Jing, Li Ji and Yuchi Jingde don't have to worry about this.
Because they have enough reputation to support them, the soldiers below are also confident enough in their coach.
They know that with such a coach, even if they cannot win every battle, they can still escape unscathed.
At the very least, you have a greater chance of surviving.
If you don't have these, do you still want to lead people to fight?
That was a white-hot dream.
I'm afraid you can only manage the few close soldiers around you.
The remaining soldiers will probably stand in the camp, looking at you and your soldiers as if they are stupid, and then they will not even leave the barracks.
In fact, this kind of thing also happened to Li Chengqian when he was leading the troops alone.
At the beginning, the only people who were willing to follow him in the deep battle were his own Qianzi Battalion and a few veterans of the Liangzhou Army.
Later, it was because of his own status and Li Shimin's efforts to build momentum for him that his reputation in Longyou Road was unparalleled.
Then the Liangzhou army was willing to trust him little by little, and was willing to entrust his life to him and obey his orders.
It was also these years of successive victories that gradually made the Liangzhou soldiers below him trust him.
They all know that following Li Chengqian has a high chance of survival in a war, and they can also make a lot of money.
Otherwise, how could he do whatever he wants like now?
Which of the military leaders, big and small, is not allowed to take care of one or two things? Those soldiers below, who should try their best to win over them?
If you don't benefit others, who will risk their lives for you?
After all, no one's life is free.
But obviously, Xie Guangxian was not aware of this problem.
As I said before, Xie Guangxian may be a very capable person.
After all, his execution ability is really strong, and he can complete any task assigned by the boss perfectly.
But equally, his execution ability also hurt him.
Most of the time, he only thinks about the orders from the top and never puts himself in someone else's shoes, making him seem authoritative and arbitrary.
If such a person stays with the coach, he will definitely be a good general.
But if he is left alone...
This is really a pain for the generals and soldiers below...
…
Fan Bei and Qi Cong have considerable influence in the military.
After the two arrived at the army, all the senior centurions responded.
Almost without exception, the two thousand troops brought by the two men responded to their move.
After Fan Bei and Qi Cong gathered their team.
They did not hesitate at all, and immediately led their troops to attack the Shu army under Xie Guangxian.
The combat effectiveness of this team may not be strong, but they still number more than two thousand people.
Moreover, the incident happened so suddenly that many people did not react and died in the hands of these people in a daze.
Fan Bei and Qi Cong also followed Lao Wang's request.
After rushing out of the camp, they did not go anywhere else but specifically to find places where food and supplies were stored.
Because Xie Guangxian never considered the possibility of mutiny within himself.
Therefore, there were not many people guarding the place where they stored food and supplies.
So one
Now, their actions have become smoother.
As they walked past, a raging fire broke out in one of the Shu army's two granaries. The flames started to spread from point to surface, and soon began to spread rapidly in all directions.
The tents were also set alight one after another.
A large number of Shu army soldiers stumbled out of the burning tents.
This time, the Shu army camp was completely in chaos.
Because they didn't know what was going on, the Shu soldiers were running around like headless flies.
Among them, there are also one or several burning people struggling in the flames.
For a moment, the fire in the Shu army camp shot straight into the sky and could be seen from miles away.
at the same time.
A messenger from the Xiangyang Army also hurriedly ran into Gao Zhixing's barracks. ??
What Lao Wang said was not all nonsense, and many of them were inferred from his understanding of Gao Zhixing.
For example, Gao Zhixing really planned to let Fan Bei and Qi Cong launch an attack from within the Shu army, forming an internal and external pincer attack with his own side.
But he didn't expect that these two people would be so efficient in doing things.
But in a blink of an eye, the Shu army's granary was captured.
For Gao Zhixing, this was really a surprise and a joy.
"I never expected that these guys could give me such a big surprise."
"Thankfully, I didn't sleep at this hour. If I had gone to bed a moment earlier, I might not have seen such a scene."
Gao Zhixing said directly to the messenger: "Go and tell Xu Lang to assemble the team immediately."
"As soon as we are assembled, advance towards Qutang Pass."
Gao Zhixing clasped his hands on his chest and said with a raised mouth: "Before dawn, I will have breakfast on the top of Qutang Pass!"
…
Qutang Pass.
At the same time that the Tang Dynasty started taking action.
The Shu army in the pass gradually came to their senses.
Especially when Xie Guangxian and other military generals were present in person. After that, the chaos was quickly suppressed.
Looking at Fan Bei and Qi Cong, who were still charging with their soldiers, Xie Guangxian's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
He thought about everything, even thinking about the unimaginable soldiers under their command who would rescue the two of them, and how to make these soldiers obey him later.
But he never expected that these two people could escape from the cell.
Of course, this was because he was too arrogant and only thought that there was no place for a group of soldiers.
No matter what happens, there will always be someone who can tell the truth.
Who would have thought that there could be a highly skilled undercover agent in his own army?
But no matter what.
Now these two people dare to openly fight against themselves, and even commit such acts of fratricide.
Then he would have absolute reason to kill him.
Xie Guangxian waved his hand behind him.
Seeing this, a soldier quickly ran to his side, bowed and said: "General..."
"Go ahead."
"It's your turn."
Xie Guangxian raised his head slightly and said: "I don't hope they can live for more than half an hour..."
After hearing this, the soldier clasped his fists heavily and then returned to the military formation.
When Xie Guangxian came to Qutang Pass, he did not come alone.
In addition to bringing 3,000 elite Shu troops, he also specially dispatched a special team of over a thousand people from southern Xinjiang.
Why is this team special?
Just because this team is not composed of Tang people, but entirely composed of foreigners from the southern countries.
Also inspired by Li Chengqian, Li Ke also wanted to develop a system of "using barbarians to control barbarians" in Shu.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened later, which caused the plan to be shelved, and in the end only a few elites from southern Xinjiang were left.
Originally, Xie Guangxian was planning to wait until his Qutang Pass was breached and then throw these people into the deep mountains and forests. It was disgusting.
