Chapter 284: The situation is not good

The more Li De read the content of this letter, the more frightened he became, and between the lines were things such as rashness, underestimating the enemy, and unclear instructions, but fortunately, his father really listened to him.

has always followed the pace of the right military guard Wei Wenxuan, the two are colleagues of the twelfth guard, they have been familiar from the beginning, and Li An's deliberate flattery is also to make the two get along.

Wei Wen's soldiers were assigned to 8,000 people, and Li An was assigned to 5,000 people, both of whom were military attachés of the third grade, and no one was powerful, but the duties of Su Wei were different.

Although they are of the same level, there are still comparisons among the twelve guards, just like the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards cannot lead the government soldiers.

The left and right Yiwei, in fact, is the left and right guards, which was changed by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the strength of the Son of Heaven guards should be the strongest, and the military generals are ranked the best, usually by the emperor's henchmen, who can fight well.

Of course, it is mainly the emperor's henchmen, anyway, the left and right guards stand on one side, and the henchmen and capable people occupy all of them.

Li An, who is usually responsible for patrolling, has a lot of combat effectiveness completely under the command of the generals, and if he is able to do a bad job in the palace, he will also have a share of the left leader.

But when it comes to the battlefield, it all depends on ability, and under normal circumstances, the generals who fight are the generals who start with the right character, which is true and similar to the form of the main and secondary.

Wei Wenzhen is a bit capable and lucky, and he gets along with Ang Lee quite good-tempered, and Ang Lee is generous, chatting and discussing the war when he has nothing to do.

Most of them are some strategies and understandings instilled in him by Li De before, which has benefited Wei Wenzhen a lot, and he feels that Li An is indeed a capable person, and if the two of them fight together, the benefits will be greatly increased.

Don't look at the 300,000 soldiers and horses in front of you, but in a bitter cold place like Liaoshui, it is really not optimistic, and the two have reached a consensus on many things.

Li An was originally very optimistic about the war, but after actually arriving, he listened to Wei Wenxing's objective views and personal feelings, and knew that many things Li De said were very correct.

Because the next big war is about to begin, and now it is the period of repairing soldiers and horses.

Finally, I had an opportunity to write back, also to report safety, and by the way, I wrote down the situation and expected Li De to provide some help.

Li Fu saw Li De's expression sometimes depressed, sometimes entangled, what happened to his master, but he never said it, it was really panicked.

I knew that it would be better to give the letter to the eldest lady.

Li De looked at it for a while, his father wrote a lot of things, the environment, the current state of the government soldiers he led, and some of Wei Wenxing's situation.

"Uncle Fu, go and invite your mother to the study quickly." Li De said.

"Yes." Li Fu trotted all the way, and after a while, Zheng's mother hurried over with Qiaoyue's support.

"De'er, what did your father's letter say?" Mother Zheng asked nervously.

As I walked faster, I saw the sweat on my mother's forehead.

"Mother rest assured, father is all right, will cross the Yalu water, the situation is not optimistic, so please mother ghostwrite the letter to seal the reply." After hearing this, Zheng's mother immediately took a pen and paper.

At this time, Li Fu and Qiao Yue were waiting outside the door of the study.

Li De asked his mother to ghostwrite mainly because his calligraphy was really not very good, and it was estimated that he would become a 'fake character' when he wrote it, and he didn't want his father to study his 'heavenly calligraphy'.

Asking my mother to ghostwrite is also a reason to reassure my father.

Li De thought about it for a while, and knew where the current ills appeared, the 300,000 soldiers and horses were said to be under the control of Yuwenshu, but in fact, it was Emperor Yang of Sui who really commanded them.

Just like playing chess, every step has to go through the mind of the person playing chess to think about making a decision, Emperor Yang of Sui is like this, no matter the movement of troops and horses, the intention must be written, and then wait for him, the chess player, to decide.

The soldiers and horses are outside, and they don't understand the situation and command blindly, and the senior commanders and generals who are arranged are also full of contradictions, and the key to defeat is logistics.

The transportation of grain and grass relied on manpower, trekking through mountains and rivers, and going to uncivilized areas to engage in transportation, and if the fighter plane was delayed, it would be decided, and as a result, many people followed the example of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Escaping and running eventually became a hidden danger.

The key is that the supply line is broken to 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the next result can be imagined.

Li De didn't care about these things, even if he wrote these reasons, he couldn't change the situation of defeat, and he wanted to reverse it unless he took Emperor Yang of Sui now.

"Hoard grain and grass, not be deceived to surrender, avoid rash advances, weaken for the top, and siege for the bottom."

Li De said his thoughts, and explained in the letter that food determines the success or failure of this battle, the land of projectiles is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and most of the mountain roads are used as natural barriers, and the climate change at sea is not adaptable, so it is essential to insist on food.

Not to surrender by fraud is that all surrenders are regarded as calculations, and those who surrender are taken into custody first and then reported, and prisoners are taken outside the city.

The rest is to tell not to rush forward, not to be greedy for merit, to fight with hatred when you can fight, and try not to choose some things such as siege warfare.

Li De's meaning is actually very clear, not afraid of small credit, not fighting for big credit, steady and steady with the flow, grain and grass are the top priority.

If 300,000 soldiers and horses are advancing, they can only use the last resort, and the lone army will fight guerrilla warfare in depth, mainly because guerrilla warfare is not fighting, and when the time is ripe to return, there will be no great merit, and there will be continuous small merit, and after returning, there will naturally be merit to be remarkable.

Li De's bad idea is to plan for the worst, so that Li An has a bottom in his heart.

After Zheng's mother finished writing the letter, she was covered in cold sweat, and if people knew the content of the letter, their Li family might be wiped out.

"Uncle Fu, send someone to call You Junda and Liang Shitai back." Li Dedao.

Li Fu immediately complied.

You Junda and Liang Shitai hurried back for a while, and they didn't dare to delay when they heard that the eldest prince said that there was something urgent.

"Big brother, if you have something, just tell me."

"Master's business is my business."

Li De saw that the two of them were used to it, so he took out the letter and said: "You two hurry to Liaoshui, be sure to hand over the letter to my father to check it and seal it with fire paint and bring it back." ”

"Yes." The two said in unison.

"Uncle Fu prepares two horses for the two of them, takes 100 gold, and brings more coils." Li De instructed.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, the two did not ask much to explain the matter of the salt mine, and then set off.

Zheng's mother also wanted to let the two of them bring more money, but was stopped by Li De, the weight of 100 gold was heavy enough, and their long-distance travel to increase the weight would affect the trip.

That's all he can do, sending 100 gold is just to make supplies, and it's easy to do things with money, the current situation is that the more grain and grass, the better, just by virtue of the government soldiers assigned by his father and Wei Wenxuan, the two are not the main force, they may be the main cannon fodder.

Seeing Zheng's mother's worried face, Li De went over and persuaded him: "Mother, don't worry, my father Jiren has his own natural appearance, and General Wei Wenzhen is a lucky general, and he must be fine." ”

Li De said that it must have also given Zheng's mother some confidence.
