Seeing that Wang Xiaojie was deep in thought, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked: "General Wang, you have been in the army for so many years, you have someone to admire!" ”

Wang Xiaojie came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and smiled: "Of course there is!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked curious: "Can you tell me!" ”

"Absolutely!" Wang Xiaojie nodded, "If Lu Gongzi is willing to listen, then I'll talk about it!" ”

Wang Xiaojie thought for a moment and said slowly: "If you want to say that the person I admire the most, this one is Xue Guoshi!" ”

"Xue Guoshi?" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Wang Xiaojie strangely, "Are you talking about Xue Huaiyi?" ”

"Master Lu, you can't call Xue Guoshi's name, it's very disrespectful!" Wang Xiaojie stared at Lu Xiaoxian dissatisfied, "In my mind, he exists like a god!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was a little confused, the first person in the Tang Army admired the most was a monk, and he was also Wu Zetian's male pet Xue Huaiyi, how could this be?

Wang Xiaojie seemed to see Lu Xiaoxian's thoughts, and he said with a solemn face: "Xue Guoshi once led the army to meet the invading Turks twice on the orders of the Holy Order, Lu Gongzi should have heard of this, right?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, when reading history in later generations, he did read about what Wang Xiaojie just said.

In the first year of Yanzai, the Turkic Khan Gu Dulu died of illness, and his younger brother Mo Si established himself as the Khan and led the crowd to invade Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Wu Zetian overrode public opinion and appointed Xue Huaiyi as the general manager of the Qingping Dao march to conquer the Turks.

As soon as Xue Huaiyi led the army to Shuofang, the Turks hurriedly retreated. Xue Huaiyi returned to Beijing after returning to Beijing, Wu Zetian awarded Xue Huaiyi as the general of the auxiliary country, and gave 2,000 pieces of silk.

In the second year of longevity, the Turks invaded the border again, Xue Huaiyi went out again, and Wu Zetian appointed him as the general manager of the march of the Reverse Road. Like last time, before Xue Huaiyi's army reached the border pass, the Turks silently withdrew their troops, and Xue Huaiyi once again won without a fight.

For Xue Huaiyi's two expeditions, there are not many records in the history books in terms of details. Later historians' evaluation of this matter is also one-sided, saying that Xue Huaiyi is lucky with shit.

Wang Xiaojie snorted coldly and said: "As soon as Xue Guoshi led the army to the border pass, the Turks retreated, if occasionally

Once you can say that he is lucky, but every time it is like this, can it still be said that he is lucky? Do you think that the Turks are all muddy? ”

Who dares to say that the Turks are muddy, they have been the enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty for generations since the Xiongnu, and how many changes of the Central Plains Dynasty have a direct relationship with them.

Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows: "What does the general mean is that there are other reasons for this?" ”

"Of course!" Wang Xiaojie showed a look of admiration, "I have followed Xue Guoshi on these two expeditions, others don't know the inside story, but I know it clearly!" ”

"Can you tell me about it, General?" At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian's interest in this tooth Xue Huaiyi became more and more intense.

"Actually, it's very simple! Before the two expeditions, Xue Guoshi sent someone to send a letter to Mo Si! Wang Xiaojie's eyes flashed with a strange light, "The content of the letter is also very simple, directly tell Mo Si how he is going to deal with the Turks!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes widened: "Will he tell his enemies about his combat ideas?" ”

Xue Huaiyi is crazy or too arrogant when he does this?

"Of course!" Wang Xiaojie said proudly, "Not only did he tell Mo Si that his action plan was not hidden, but he also did it in accordance with the action plan step by step!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, and he guessed: "Then, after reading the letter, Mo Si didn't know that it was difficult and retreated, isn't that so?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Xiaojie nodded, "Xue Guoshi's plan is insolvable for Mo Si, and he has no better way than to withdraw from the army!" ”

"Is it real or fake?" Lu Xiaoxian was a little suspicious, this Xue Huaiyi was too evil.

Wang Xiaojie stood up and came to the bookshelf to take a brocade box.

Opening the lid of the box, Wang Xiaojie took out more than a dozen pieces of silk paper from it and handed it to Lu Xiaoxian: "I also copied a copy of the action plan that Xue Guoshi wrote to Mo Si, and Lu Gongzi will understand it when he looks at it." ”

Is Xue Huaiyi really such a god?

Lu Xiaoxian took the silk paper suspiciously and looked at it seriously.

After reading it, Lu Xiaoxian's face changed greatly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

There was only one thought in his mind

: This Xue Huaiyi is either a demon, or he has also traveled through like himself, anyway, he can't be a person from this era.

Why?

The battle plan that Xue Huaiyi wrote to Mo Si was not at all something that anyone in this era could think of.

In the first letter, Xue Huaiyi told Mo Si that he was going to use a big detour tactic to deal with the Turks, and directly sent strange soldiers to cut off the logistics supply of the Turks, and then blocked the Turks' retreat, and finally defeated the Turks by attacking from both sides.

Since Li Jing led his troops to destroy the Turks, the Tang Dynasty army has adopted the tactics of "flanking and detouring, front and rear flank", which perfectly combines the power of infantry formations with the powerful mobility of cavalry. However, the Tang Army's encirclement and annihilation tactics only stayed at the "battlefield" level.

Historically, the Mongol army was the 500 years after the Tang Dynasty. The Mongols grew up in the desert barbarism, but they embraced the military and tactical ideas of the Han Chinese, especially the "soldiers, treacherous ways" in the Art of War. The "Great Roundabout Tactics" is a concentrated embodiment of the deceit of the Mongol army, and their use of cavalry tactics reached the highest peak in military history.

Xue Huaiyi's battle plan is clearly a copy of the Mongols' roundabout tactics, which cannot but shock Lu Xiaoxian.

In the second letter, Xue Huaiyi was going to use crushing tactics and harassment tactics. With the help of the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, he fought steadily and steadily, advancing step by step, constantly compressing the living space of the Turkic people. At the same time, small units of cavalry were sent to detect the enemy's movements on the one hand, and to harass them on the other.

The subtlety of this plan is secondary, and what Lu Xiaoxian can't understand the most is the two weapons and equipment that appear in the plan.

One is the trebuchet, which is different from the trebuchet of the Tang Dynasty, and it is clearly the Xiangyang cannon used by the Yuan Dynasty when attacking the Song Dynasty. The other is a crossbow that is very effective against cavalry, and it is also a stepping crossbow that really appeared in the Song Dynasty. These two things are not what the Tang Dynasty should have, but they appeared in Xue Huaiyi's battle plan at the same time, no wonder Wang Xiaojie treats Xue Huaiyi as a god.

Lu Xiaoxian had 10,000 questions in his heart, but now he could only hide them in his heart. He knew that this Xue Huaiyi was definitely not simple, and he would definitely meet him when he had the opportunity in the future to solve the mystery in his heart.
