Xuzi could understand that Qin Shubao's suggestion was out of good intentions. Judging from the hostile attitude of Zhang Gongjin and others towards Gan Luo, in order to allow several groups of troops to cooperate without any suspicion, he should also lead Gan Luo to charge for the Sui Dynasty.
Once. Regardless of whether Gan Luo made up for his merits or served his master, he had to go. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult for everyone to accept him, but as his master, it would also be difficult for him to mobilize everyone with his status as a fourth-grade general.
Road reinforcements.
Qin Shubao was injured, Yun Dingxing was old, Luo Shixin's official position was low, and Li Shimin's prestige was insufficient. Now in Nao County, only he and Dugu Lin could convince all the generals. And Dugu Lin himself seemed restless, not like a capable person at all.
The appearance of taking on this important responsibility.
"We are willing to listen to General Li's orders!" Some people clasped their fists and saluted, expressing their willingness to obey Li Xu's orders. Half of them did this because of Li Xu's reputation, and the other half was because they had witnessed Gan Luo's ferocity. This silver-colored head
The wolf left such a deep impression on everyone that many Sui generals were killed directly because of it. Even though those war horses had undergone strict training, when they saw a calf or a wolf rushing towards them, they would still throw their masters away.
Lower back.
If the Sui army in turn used this thing to retaliate against the Turks, it would be the other party who was thrown off their horses and died under the knife. Such a result does not need to be seen, but it is very satisfying to think about it.
"There are still people who can command Gan Luo. I'm afraid that things will go wrong!" Li Xu raised his voice slightly and emphasized again. He could not accept everyone's suggestions. If he led Gan Luo into the battle, the Turks would definitely order Tao Kuo to take off his silk.
Take action. That way, in order to ensure the final advantage on the battlefield, he had the only option left.
"Who else can command this wolf? Let's kill him first!" Luo Shixin blurted out the words.
"Yes, General Li just leads the team forward. General Luo and I will protect you. When someone comes up to greet Gan Luo, everyone immediately waits with bows and arrows from a distance!" Hou Junji's idea was also very direct. For the sake of victory, he did not think that
Is there any price that cannot be paid?
Gan Luo, who was hovering next to Xu Zi's legs, seemed to understand the meaning of everyone's words. He quickly lowered his body and let out a series of roars from his throat. This was a behavior that he would only show when he was threatened, even if the threat was surrounding him heavily.
, it will defend its power and dignity with its teeth.
The people who were clamoring to be Li Xu's guards were startled and instinctively closed their mouths. Xu Zi quickly squatted down and gently stroked the fur on Gan Luo's neck, "Gan Luo, don't be ridiculous, they don't mean any harm."
!”
"Huh huh - huh huh!" Gan Luo threatened the people nearby while looking at Xu Zi with bright golden eyes. It was a look as deep as the crescent moon lake, containing trust and expectation.
For a moment, Xuzi almost thought she understood Gan Luo's thoughts. It was not protesting for itself, but for Tao Kuo to get rid of its silk. She was the mistress with whom it had been dependent for many years, and could not be harmed in the slightest in front of it.
"Okay, okay! Gan Luo, don't be naughty!" Xuzi's voice became gentler, and her tall body no longer had any domineering look.
Zhang Gongjin let out a low sigh and immediately frowned. For some reason, he had been observing the most popular general in the Sui Dynasty in the past few years, and he came to the conclusion that he was disappointed. "General Li Lang is not."
"A person worthy of following" Zhang Gongjin secretly concluded in his heart, "Although his martial arts and strategies are very admirable, he lacks the ruthlessness that a person who achieves great things should have!"
In Zhang Gongjin's eyes, a true hero must always remain rational. General Li Lang first did not hesitate to offend the brothers who were guarding the city in order to protect a wolf. Now he took the opportunity to appease the beast and turned a blind eye to the enthusiasm of everyone. Various performances proved that he
He is an indecisive common man who can't afford to let go. It's a shame that his surname is Li. Such a person is only worthy of being a wedding dress. He has no chance of achieving great things in troubled times.
"The other person who can win over Gan Luo must be a woman!" Qin Shubao was very attentive and guessed nine out of ten from the movements of Xu Zi's hands and the expression on his face. "Zhong Jian was only fourteen at that time.
"Five, the romantic debts of youth and ignorance!" He gave a knowing smile, and then shook his head slightly.
Under the comfort of his owner, Gan Luo slowly stopped roaring. But he was obviously worried about the people around him. His pointed ears kept shaking. Whenever there was a slightly louder noise around him, his eyes would immediately scan like lightning.
past.
After a while, it finally settled down, and Xuzi also took this opportunity to stabilize his shaking mood. He slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and said seriously: "We are outnumbered, we can't bet on
On the body of a wolf. If Gan Luo changes sides in battle, just like he did in front of the Turkic formation last night, we may not even have a chance to retreat!"
"Moreover, if we cannot win a big victory, the Turks will not retreat easily. Instead of rushing into Yanmen Pass and being besieged again by the enemy, it is better to stay outside, at least not to dilute the defenders' food reserves!"
"Don't worry about the food stored by the defenders. Before leaving the fortress, all the food and grass for the Sixth Army of the Emperor were transported to Yanmen Pass. Together with some of the military rations originally stored in the pass, it will be enough for the people currently guarding the pass to eat for two or three years.
!" Dugu Lin knew the situation at Yanmen Pass in detail and explained to Xu Zi in a low voice. At the same time, he also supported Xu Zi's view that it would be more effective to stay outside the siege than to rush into the siege of the Turks, "But Li
The general is absolutely right. When it comes to His Majesty's safety, the defenders in Yanmen Pass cannot take the initiative to break out. If there is no reliable strategy to defeat the enemy, our role in containing the enemy by staying on the periphery will be greater!"
"You alone can tell the good and the bad, Xiao Linzi, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. You haven't made any progress in other aspects, but you have learned to speak!" Luo Shixin was a little dissatisfied with Dugu Lin's duplicitous attitude and laughed and mocked.
Back in Qi County, Dugu Lin would have retorted a long time ago. But this time, he just shook his head. Maturity is a necessary stage of growth. Only those who have suffered the consequences of being upright can understand the value of maturity. "I
We are talking about the matter, if we do not have a reliable strategy to defeat the enemy and act rashly, if we are defeated by the Turks, not only will we not be able to save His Majesty, but it will shake the morale of the military in the pass!"
His words caused a burst of noise. Seeing the enemy troops in front, he stood still, which really went against the original intention of the soldiers. However, Li Xu refused to let Gan Luo take the lead, and Dugu Lin did not support an easy decisive battle with the enemy troops. This battle
If we continue to fight, it will really make us feel uninterested.
"As long as you fight, you have to take risks, unless you can avoid fighting against the enemy's enemy!" Hou Junji disagreed with Dugu Lin's last words, took half a step forward, and said loudly.
What he never expected was that it was the second son of Tang Gongfu who took over his words. "There are ways to make the Turks retreat without a fight!" Li Shimin walked to the map, which was extremely far outside Yanmen.
He drew a circle on the place, "The best way to deal with the bandit is to make him feel the pain. When the Turks come in large numbers, their old, young, women and children will definitely stay in their old nest. Anyway, they can't capture Yanmen Pass for a while. If we take this opportunity
Send a surprise force to bypass Yanmen Pass..."
He stopped talking and looked out the window. The west window of the county government office faced an isolated mountain outside the city. Looking past the dilapidated city head, he could clearly see the woods burned by the war on the hillside. Due to the burning by the Turks,
The wildfire caused by the residential buildings has long been extinguished, but the charred branches are still there, one by one, pointing angrily at the sky above.
"What a great plan to draw out the firepower!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they praised in unison. Due to his age, everyone didn't pay much attention to Li Shimin at first. At best, they regarded him as a weak-minded young man who occasionally made some military exploits and won battles.
It all depends on the careful care of veterans like Asahi.
But after hearing the strategy he proposed, everyone immediately looked at him with admiration. "What a second son of the Tang Dynasty!" Some people secretly admired him. No matter whether it was too late to launch a surprise attack on the grassland at this time, just with this determination and ruthlessness, he could win the battle.
It's enough to impress everyone.
"Before departure, I have asked General Luo Yi from Jixian County to send troops to assist." Next, Li Xu's words surprised everyone, "So we can advance slowly tomorrow morning and set up camp at a dangerous location outside the Turkic encirclement.
, and the old general Qu Tutong rely on each other. When the enemy sees that we are prepared, they will definitely not attack rashly."
He wanted to fight a protracted war that could guarantee results for many years. Only if the Turks were severely injured in a battle, they would not forget the pain of the wound the next time they wanted to enter the Central Plains. "And if nothing happens,
, At this moment, our great Sui Hu Ben iron cavalry should have entered the depths of the grassland! When the Turkic army becomes unstable, we will take the opportunity to kill them!" He made a slashing gesture with his hand, causing a gasp of air-conditioning.
sound.
With thorns on their backs, the Turks could not concentrate on attacking Yanmen Pass. Just as the two armies were facing off for a long time, bad news suddenly came from the grassland...
"General Huben Luo Yiken, are you willing to agree to your request?" Dugu Lin pressed his hands on the long table where the map was placed, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement. He asked about the most critical point in the entire plan. The Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry is the Great Sui Dynasty.
The most combat-effective frontier army was trained by General Wang Yang Shuang. His Majesty the Emperor has always used this army to intimidate the barbarians in the East, and has never been willing to mobilize it easily. Even the last three expeditions against Goryeo, the imperial court did not give orders.
Luo Yi accompanied him.
But Dugu Lin also vaguely heard that General Huben Luo Yi seemed to be disobedient. The imperial court was just unwilling to provoke a mutiny, so it never took action against him. This time the Holy Emperor was besieged at Yanmen Pass, if Luo Yi wanted to come
If there was a rescue, the cavalry under his command would have arrived long ago, and they shouldn't have been delayed until now.
"General Luo Yi knows that this war involves the life and death of more than one family!" Li Xu nodded with certainty and answered. More than a month ago, he asked Pan Zhanyang to bring the news that the Turks were about to move to the infantry under Luo Yi's command.
General, and wrote down the best countermeasures in the letter. However, he was not sure whether Luo Yi was still willing to contribute to the court.
After a battle with Cheng Zhijie and others, Xuzi now believed that Luo Yi would definitely take action. 'My General Huben of the Sui Dynasty will not be as knowledgeable as several mountain kings!' He was convinced of this in his heart.
Xuzi believed that the Bu Xiaowei he met when he left the country was not a short-sighted rat, and the person he served was not an ignorant gambler who risked the safety of the world for his own benefit. Although there were many ignorant and shameless guys in the Sui Dynasty.
, but it should not be General Bu and Luo Yi.
It was the long spear in Bu Xiaowei's hand and the legend of Huben General Luo Yi that made Xuzi embark on the path he is on today. Although the journey was bumpy, every step was extremely exciting.
"Humans are not animals and do not need names, blood, or species!" The words relayed by Bu Xiaowei back then often still echo in Xu Zi's ears. He believes that a hero who can say such powerful words will never kneel to a foreign race.
Coward. A strong man who refuses to bow to fate will never bend his noble back in the face of external humiliation.
"If General Luo Yi takes action, Ashina Gutuolu will be the first to be unable to bear it!" Li Shimin glanced at the map carefully and analyzed excitedly. "Yuyang County is directly to the north, which is Ashina Gutuolu's territory.
.There are also Xi, Khitan and Ping. When they heard that the cavalry came out of the fortress, these tribes outside the fortress who came to fight against the autumn wind were scared to death!"
He looked at Xu Zi again, with a smile on his face, but his mood was like a turbulent sea. If what Zhong Jian said was really not to make excuses for Gan Luo not to go to war, wouldn't it mean that he had spent more than a month
He had anticipated today's predicament beforehand and prepared a plan for this. For a man who can command silver wolves, has a long-term vision, and is highly skilled in martial arts, where will his future be considered to be at its peak?'
Li Shimin suddenly felt that his throat was dry and his heart was beating disobediently. He remembered that his father asked him and his brother in a joking tone how to subdue Li Xu. His brother's answer was 'treat him kindly and make a knot with kindness'.
The younger brother's answer was, 'If you don't use him, you will be killed!' But my young and ignorant self thought, 'A gentleman is straight and can be bullied!'
Can Li Xu really bully him today? Li Shimin found that he was not even sure. Brother Zhongjian in front of him was tall and burly, just like the King in Golden Armor enshrined in the Taoist temple. He could take such a person as his confidant,
What kind of blessing is this in troubled times? He found that he understood more and more why his father treated Asahi in a different light back then. His eyesight that had been honed over time was far beyond the knowledge of younger generations like them.
"If General Luo Yi has left the fortress, what else do we need to do besides confronting the Turks?" Hou Junji was extremely curious. Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, he walked to Li Xu to ask for advice.
"Try every possible means to spread this news and let all tribes know it!" Li Xu thought for a while and replied, "Also, by the way, let them know that Guofeng Liu Jizhen's troops have also arrived on the grassland and will attack those without men at any time.
Stay camp!”
"In this way, even if the tiger and horse cavalry are not out of seclusion, the big and small khans will be restless!" Hou Junji's eyes suddenly brightened, and he bowed to the ground, "I am humbled to be taught. Thank you General Li for your guidance!" (To be continued)
