Chapter 533 Strategy

Li Shimin and several of his henchmen stayed awake all night, their eyes were boiled like rabbits, and their dry heads were on fire.

There is no way, if you want to get rid of a character like Dugu Huaien, after the general direction is set, you have to fill in the necessary details, which is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

Several people, including Li Shimin, the king of Qin, understood in their hearts that this matter was a major matter related to their lives, and they could not be neglected at all, and the more detailed the discussion, the greater the possibility of success.

No one can afford the consequences of defeat, and neither can Li Shimin.

Because the Dugu clan has gone downhill since the time of Emperor Wen, in fact, this is also relatively speaking, saying that the official positions of the children are similar to the Dugu gate valve itself, which is a bit of a mismatch.

At that time, as Dugu Xin's children passed away one after another, the second generation inherited the shadow of his father and sisters, and lived a very prosperous life.

And when it comes to the third generation of Dugu Huaien, there are indeed many brothers and sisters, but no one can occupy a prominent position anymore, so the decline is gradually revealed.

A big family like this has very deep roots, and it is unlikely that it will fall to the ground with a bang, and it can only be that it will gradually decline over time.

You are digging the root of the top gate valve, and no punishment such as punishing the Nine Clans can be used on them, otherwise, not only Li Shimin, but also Yu Wenshi and others are all punished, and no one can escape.

After discussing it all night, the final result was actually still on a quick word...... This is clearly a sacrifice of something else for the sake of the current war.

As for the adverse reactions in Chang'an or other places after Dugu Huaien's death, even Li Shimin didn't want to think about it, let alone Yuwenshi and others.

Li Po sent a monk to Li Shimin, which made the people anxious, and the effect was very good.

But at this time, it is not only Li Shimin who has a big head, Li Po himself has a big head here.

No matter how much you listen to the report, it is better to take a look at it with your own eyes.

When Li Po led the army into the siege of Puban City, walked around the city wall, and came to the edge of the Yellow River to watch, Li Po was also entangled.

It's a fucking place.

After a thousand years, there is only a mound-like place left, and now in this scene, Li Po just wants to scold his mother, and many years later, the old site of Pusaka must have been built by his mother, fooling people to play.

As the old capital of Yaoshun, the center of the world back then, after several repairs, how old Li Po had no intention of pondering, he only cared about the hardness of the city.

When he walked around the city from afar, he knew that Kasaka was very hard.

How hard is it? The city was not very large, but the walls were very high, and they were made of stones, which was by no means comparable to the mound of earth that came later.

In particular, the moat is very wide, and it is still fucking living water, because there is no shortage of water here next to the east bank of the Yellow River.

Looking at the head of Pusaka City full of flags, Li Po was a little dizzy, which reminded him of Liaodong City, of course, Puban City and Liaodong City can't be compared, and the Goguryeo people who like to build cities very much spend time in Liaodong City, but there is no way, it is the most tragic siege battle he has ever seen, there is no one, as long as it is a siege, he has to think about it, and it is not up to him to decide at all.

Li Po is not the only one who is dizzy, Xu Shiji, who came here with Yuen Long, must be a confidant if he knows what Li Po thinks.

He once followed Li Mi to meet his head under Luoyang City, and he had already left a psychological shadow.

But some people are more elated, Yuen Long, who has passed the customs, is brisk, and accompanies Li Po to point at Pubancheng, plus chatter, because people have been building the city on the bank of the Cangshui River for nearly two years, and they have indeed studied it.

Li Po listened patiently for a long time, he had also built the city, and he was not ignorant of this, but he was not as meticulous as Yuen Long's "learning".

In the end, it was concluded that this can indeed be said to be a strong city, the Tang army went south to the east of the river, and finally left only one Puban city that was not breached, in addition to a Yao Junsu in the city, I am afraid that Puban is easy to defend and difficult to attack is also an important reason.

The more I listened to it, the more bad my mood became, but this time Li Po didn't use a big slap to suppress this broken-mouthed brother-in-law.

Later, he discussed with the generals one by one, and he was pleased that everyone had no intention of fighting, and they asked for battle to attack the city, and the troops were actually not very tight, after all, Pusaka was not a big city.

When everyone came to the Yellow River and saw the Pujin Bridge, Yuen Long, who was addicted to being a tour guide this time, was immediately suppressed by Li Po.

It is a pontoon bridge floating on the Yellow River.

Unlike the temporary pontoon bridge built by the Sui army on the Liaoshui River, this is a permanent pontoon bridge in the real sense.

The ice on the river has been chiseled by the Tang army, and with the current weather and the turbulent flow of the Yellow River, even if the river freezes again, it will no longer allow a large group of people and horses to walk on the ice.

Speaking of pontoon bridges, Li Po can't say anything about the technique, but the bridge deck is not very wide, but it is definitely not narrow.

But now that the Tang army is stationed on the western beachhead, it is difficult to say the price that the army will have to pay if it wants to cross such a pontoon bridge.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is a certain amount of truth when more than 100,000 Tang troops went south to Chang'an, neither conquering Puban nor crossing the Pujin Bridge.

In fact, whether it is Pujin Bridge, Longmen Ferry, or even Fenglingdu, they are all equivalent to gaps in the Yellow River, just like narrow roads in the Taihang Mountains, which are all dangerous places in the war.

It will not be so easy for the army to pass through these places.

Silent all the way, Li Po led the generals back to the Chinese army, and then ordered Wei Chi to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to station in the west of Puban City to cut off the Tang army on both sides of the Yellow River.

The generals thought they understood, because according to the results of the previous military discussions, they would first pull out Pusaka, and then fight with the Tang army on the Yellow River to see if there were any fighters to attack Kansai in one fell swoop.

If the Tang army wants to cross the river to help, it will be the result that everyone is most willing to see......

But in fact, they all thought wrongly, if Li Po had hesitated between crossing the river and fighting with the Tang army defenders or stopping at the east bank of the Yellow River, then now when he saw Puban City and Pujin Bridge with his own eyes, this hesitation does not exist.

In the evening, the big tent of the Chinese army was brightly lit, and all the generals gathered.

Li Po's confident voice echoed in the big tent, and he described Puban Castle as the last fortified fortress defended by enemy troops in the entire Jin land.

Here, he didn't draw any big pies for everyone, but slyly and secretly changed the concept.

The term foundation came out of his mouth very frequently, as if he had conquered Kasaka, so everyone would have a complete foundation, and then they could do whatever they wanted, and eat whatever they wanted.

Such a beautiful picture makes his depiction vivid.

As many times before, the crowd was excited by him, and they couldn't wait to immediately lead the troops to kill the head of Pusaka City, and replace the Tang Army battle flag on it with the sun, moon and stars flag before they stopped.

In fact, if you are very familiar with Li Po here, such as Li Bi, you will definitely know that this guy must be paving the way for the future arrangement, otherwise, such an important military meeting, there will be so much blood shed later, where is there so much rhetoric?

When the generals dispersed, Li Po, like Li Shimin, rubbed his head and sat down to think quietly for a long time before muttering, "Now...... There shouldn't be anyone who says that Kansai is not Kansai, and Chang'an is not Chang'an, right? ”

At the same time, Li Po also silently weighed the gains and losses of this battle in his heart.

In fact, in his opinion, this battle has already begun since last year when Li Shimin led his troops to attack Longmen.

Li Erlang, who has a talent aura and a lucky aura bonus, is really not easy to deal with, he is so uncomfortable when he loses the battle, if he wins, he will not have to go to the sky?

Compared with Li Shentong and Li Zhongwen and others, Li Ercai is a really difficult opponent.

Because you can't leave him with a flaw, or he will chase you and have to bite off a piece of fat on you.

At this time, Li Po was already clearly aware of Li Shimin's strategic intention of using the hinterland of Guanxi as bait to consume the Jindi troops along the Yellow River.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do it, it requires a lot of tactical coordination, not to mention, and a lot of patience and courage.

You must know that once the Jindi army breaks through the defenses of the Tang army on the west bank of the Yellow River, then the Tang army's battle situation will be crushed.

Therefore, such a strategy requires the determination and courage of the leading generals......

If he changes places, Li Po thinks that he will not be so desperate, with such a solid family background, it will be very boring to get a knife and see blood again.

He would burn the Pujin Bridge, hold the east bank of the Yellow River, and turn his head to see if there was any opportunity in Shuzhong or the northwest......

Jindi's defeat can be made up for from other places.

If Li Shimin hears Li Po's heart at this time, he will definitely scold, do you think I am a soil emperor like you, and I can do whatever I want?

Well, Li Po's conjecture really doesn't make sense, Li Shimin is still a brick now, even if this brick has halos such as the second son of the emperor, King Qin, Admiral Tiance, etc., but it is still a brick, where do you need to add it.

It can't be compared with Li Po, a very free emperor who is already a man of his word in most places in Jin.

And at this time, it was very clear that Li had broken the idea of going west......

Pubancheng looks very hard, the Pujin Bridge is too narrow for the army to pass through quickly, the ice of the Yellow River is too thin in February, and the cavalry stationed at Longmen is in great danger if they want to cross the river, and so on, and so on.

In the final analysis, Li Po's philosophy of war gradually took shape, and he felt that since the enemy was still willing to entangle with you here, then this should not be a good battlefield for his own army.

It can be said that Li Po, who has come over from one war after another, has gradually matured both strategically and tactically, and the chance of letting him suffer a loss in front of him is very slim......
