Chapter 384: What's Next

When Pei Qingxuan said this, Li Xiuning was a little skeptical.

Then he gave Li Shimin to Tang Guogong's attention, how to say that the matter of sending troops was explained in detail, and the siege of Youzhou was very important, and she didn't want the vanguard to lose her troops.

"Let's talk about it when we get to Youzhou." Pei Qingxuan didn't have a very good idea, in case Li Shimin really chose to stand by and watch, there was really no way at all.

In the suburbs outside Youzhou City, Li De and his people have been transferred to the mountains, and the distance from Youzhou City is getting farther and farther, which is to ensure that it is not exposed, but it increases the time for information.

Scouts need twice as much back and forth.

It's not that he's timid, it's that the Northern Barbarians' scouts have been active recently, and the scope of the search has been expanded again in a few days, and according to their actions, Li De feels that the enemy may want to take action.

And the reason why they have not moved for a long time is to wait for the reaction of the imperial court, and until now, the imperial court has not used a single soldier to explain that it has not been handed over.

What they didn't know was that the heralds of the Luo family did not go out, but the heralds of the vanguard had already brought the situation back to Chang'an City.

Three days ago, He Bida and other lieutenants came back one after another, and there were 3,000 soldiers and horses in the garrison of the state capital, which were basically considered elite, and in their eyes, the cavalry was considered elite.

Li De saw that the so-called elite was just one more horse, and it was impossible to determine how effective it was, and he could roughly guess it from their old armor.

Now it's better to have than nothing.

"Governor, the Lord of Jade County has returned, bringing five thousand soldiers and horses." Elevation came over and said.

Soon the lord of the jade county took several generals to the main tent.

"Governor, the last general Yang Yu'er has returned with reinforcements."

"It's hard work, sit down and talk." Li De politely entertained.

"Governor, this is Dou Jiande from Zhangshui, General Dou, and this is Captain Liu Wuzhou next to him, gathering 5,000 soldiers and horses to come to help." Lord Jade introduced.

Li De listened indifferently, and his heart was already turbulent, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, how could the Lord of Yujun have a connection with these people, and five thousand soldiers and horses are really a lot of soldiers and horses.

"General Dou, Captain Liu, with the help of two people, I believe that they will be able to solve the difficulties of Youzhou." Li De said politely.

Dou Jiande looked at people very ordinary, and there were not many shelves, and said with a smile: "The northern barbarians occupy Youzhou, which will become a big trouble for the henchmen of the Hebei territory. ”

looks mediocre, but pays attention to the atmosphere when he speaks.

"All the way, eat something and rest, there will be a war to fight next." Li De continued.

Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou left, and there were already people preparing for their camp, and they also needed to repair the soldiers and horses they brought.

Lord Yujun didn't leave, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to speak.

Li De saw that he naturally couldn't ignore it, so he said: "County Lord, what's wrong with you twisting like this, let's talk about it directly." ”

"Here's the thing......"

What the Yujun Lord said really surprised Li De, it turned out that Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou did not have 5,000 soldiers and horses, but Dou Jiande was temporarily recruited after dispersing his family wealth.

Unexpectedly, the people of Zhangshui responded quickly, and it took less than two days to expand from less than 1,000 soldiers to 5,000.

The Lord of Yujun was worried that they were all recruited temporarily, and their combat effectiveness would definitely not be comparable to that of the regular government soldiers, for fear of delaying the plan to fight against the Northern Barbarians.

Li De felt funny in his heart, there was really no such thing as pies in the world, Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou seized the opportunity to give him the blame.

"I know, don't talk about their affairs to others first, while dampening the morale of the soldiers, arrange for their barracks to be farther away, and try to let the reinforcements avoid contact with each other." Li De said.

Li De has no choice but to deal with it like this first, and after a long time, the situation of the other party will be known sooner or later, so he hopes that it will not be before the war.

Now that some reinforcements have arrived, the problem is also coming.

"Inform the Tenth Lieutenant to come to the camp for a meeting!"

The lord of Yujun has completed the task, but it has also brought a lot of trouble, how did she know that the original "hot-blooded man" had a good calculation.

"Governor."

The lieutenants came into the camp and greeted one after another.

Li De waved his hand and asked a few people to sit down.

"Now there are 8,000 reinforcements, and when Captain Pei and Captain Li come back, they should bring back at least 2,000 soldiers and horses, counting the number of vanguard 15,000, they can basically deal with the enemy, so my opinion is that you can't wait for the enemy to make a move, that will fall into passivity, and being led by the enemy is not the style of our vanguard."

"The governor said, what do you want me to do?" Shi Huaiyi spoke up.

"The first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers, my plan is to ......" Li De said the idea that came to mind in the past few days.

"What, pretending to be reinforcements from the imperial court and openly arguing with the Northern Barbarians?"

Ding Qilin shouted first, he was too young to breathe, but he didn't see a trace of fear on his face, but saw his curiosity.

"Captain Ding, keep a low profile." Wei Li said next to him.

"Governor, there is no problem in openly rushing to help, but after all, our numbers are not superior, so wouldn't it expose the vanguards." Shi Huaiyi wondered.

"Forget, we have to use our brains, and strategy is the key." Li Dedao.

"What is the Governor's plan?" Wei Xun asked.

"The imperial court must not be able to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, our number is not large, but it may not be possible to simulate the traces of 100,000 soldiers and horses, as long as the enemy believes that it is not, it is the best policy to surrender without a fight." Li De explained.

"The soldiers who surrender without a fight, the governor's idea is good, will the Northern Barbarians really retreat when they see 100,000 soldiers and horses?" Ding Qilin asked suddenly.

"I haven't tried, and I'm not sure, at least I can deter them." Li De added.

"There's no other way now, the governor said, what do you want us to do." Shi Huaiyi asked.

"My plan is like this, let the five thousand soldiers and horses of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou brought back by the Lord of Yujun be disguised, first formulate a good route, let the five thousand soldiers and horses be divided, and appear in different positions at different times to show the number of people." Li De said.

The lieutenants were all waiting for the next plan, but Li De didn't say anything.

"Governor, what's next?" Shi Huaiyi continued to ask.

"It's gone!" Li De said dryly.

"Gone?" The lieutenants were confused.

"Actually, it's just for the enemy's scouts to see, as long as the scouts believe in our plan, it will be considered successful, and then it will be good to come slowly at the speed of 100,000 soldiers and horses?"

The lieutenants felt that Li De had a plan and did not tell the whole story, and they were afraid that they had concerns, so they did not continue to ask, since they had a plan, they could only implement it.

Li De also made the best use of everything, and let the new 5,000 soldiers go to the battlefield immediately, that is, let them die.
