Chapter 198: The military detective goes first, and the Boling battle report
After seven days of marching, enter the pass, and then five days can reach Lingzhou and enter the right road of Long.
After discussing with Qin Qiong and Chai Shao, Li Fangchen selected ten people from the White Wolf Army, turned into military scouts, and went to Longyou territory first. If a small Turkic army is circulating, it must be extinguished first.
On the other side, Li Jing and others sent troops one after another, and Li Shimin sat in the court, but he did not find anyone who took advantage of the opportunity.
Xu is because the sixteen guards of Chang'an and the seven guards have not moved.
The governor of all places, Li Shimin, ordered that it should be strictly guarded and not moved lightly, and violators would be punished as rebellion.
Fast horses rushed and entered the territory of Longyou, except for Lanzhou and Lingzhou, which were relatively stable, there were traces of Turkic soldiers and horses in the rest of the state capitals.
It took three days to gallop back to the army.
Three of them were missing, and according to them, they ran into a Turkic dog during the expedition and fell while killing them.
After all, a part of the left ear of the Turks was also removed.
After Li Fangchen saw it, he urgently summoned the generals to enter the account to discuss, "Ben Shuai wants to take the white wolf and attack Suzhou first." ”
The generals did not hesitate and said directly: "Don't be impulsive, if someone is ambushed in Ganzhou and Suzhou, how is it good?" ”
"Yes, Dashuai, the road ahead is unclear now, why take the risk?"
Li Fangchen sighed and said: "Ben Shuai led the white wolf to break through the Jade Gate Pass first, and as a surprise soldier, he won by surprise." And General Qin, you and General Chai led the army to quickly clear the Turkic rangers in Longyou, with the sharp weapons in our army, Ben Shuai really didn't believe that he Mo He Sheh (Ashina Ni Mo He She) could bring people in! ”
Qin Qiong was still very hesitant, "Dashuai, this matter ...... Subordinates believe that those who are handsome should not take risks easily! ”
In the midst of the stalemate between the two sides, a scout ran into the hall, "Commander, Boling War Emergency!" ”
"Speak!"
"On February 16, the British Duke Li Ji led the army and the rebel Cui Yanshun in a battle, losing 5,000 soldiers and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, the rebel Cui Yanshun was beheaded by Lu Guogong, and his son Cui Shuangming inherited the power, and the rebels lost more than 30,000. Cui Shuangming forcibly recruited local farmers and gathered 70,000 soldiers. ”
"On February 18, the British Duke Li Ji led 20,000 troops to retreat to Yingzhou to recuperate and replenish grain and grass."
"On February 21, Cui Shuangming led his troops to counterattack Yingzhou, and the British Duke Li Ji led the army to resist the enemy, and once again lost 3,000 troops, while the rebels left 25,000 corpses and ......retreated."
It seems that Li Ji was dragged and was trying to find a way to break the enemy in one fell swoop.
Li Fangchen felt that he had to move quickly, and he would kill Mo Heshe first.
"Ben Shuai ordered, after a few days, the army was divided into three, Ben Shuai led the white wolf first, and the remaining 20,000 people were controlled by General Qin and General Chai."
"Your Highness!"
"Can't you hear what Ben Shuai said?"
Timidity is not Li Fangchen's style, it can be solved faster, why waste so long.
After this word, it is impossible for others to say anything, and the King of Qin has the right to give such an order, and these generals can only persuade at most.
Because, the commander in the army, make a decision!
Li Fangchen's army was divided into three points, the white wolf went first, and the last 20,000 entered Longyou at the same time.
According to Li Fangchen's previous request, he began to clear the small Turkic rebellion in Longyou Dao.
And the White Wolf Army, one by one, is gearing up, and they have long been ready to do a big job.
"Your Highness, the spies have come to report, and the front is thirty miles, which is Ganzhou, and there are 3,000 Turkic soldiers guarding this place."
"Order the whole army, set up camp, take a rest for the time being, wait for tomorrow, and move forward at full speed!"
Running all the way, the speed was more than twice as fast as the army in the rear, if it weren't for the two rooms and the delivery of letters, Qin Qiong and Chai Shao would have been unable to help but lead their troops to chase after them.
The campfire broke out at night, and the people in the tent had no sleep.
Li Fangchen looked at the map in front of him and couldn't help asking: "If you look at the city marked by the military scout, Mo Heshe has prepared at least 20,000 soldiers and horses in Longyou Dao, but he doesn't know where his main force is?" ”
Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Your Highness, do you think Mo Heshe will turn back to the Turks?" ”
"How is that possible?" Li Fangchen touched his chin, very confused about this.
On the side, Chai Zhewei sneered: "Your Highness, don't forget, this Mo Heshe was originally a Western Turk general, and his defection to Jieli was only because he succumbed to the strong troops of the Eastern Turks. Maybe this guy has something else in mind! ”
Li Fangchen squinted slightly, "No, don't move lightly, our six thousand white wolves are not enough to face the Turkic 50,000 soldiers and horses, send a probe horse, we must go from Ganzhou to Yumen Pass, and find out the location and specific direction of the Turkic people and horses in each realm!" ”
Without the assistance of high technology, Li Fangchen was slightly displeased with this kind of behavior of rushing upwards as soon as his eyes were black in battle.
What if Mo Heshe brought more than 50,000 soldiers and horses?
That's right!
"Huaiyu, let me ask you, do you know how the Turks transported grain and grass?"
Seeing Li Fangchen suddenly ask, Qin Huaiyu didn't have time to react, and blurted out, "Isn't it a carriage?" ”
"Carriage? How many carriages can the Turks have? ”
Li Fangchen sneered, the meeting ended here, and when Tanma returned, he would be able to figure it out completely.
"Whew!"
Aurora saw Li Fangchen and after they finished talking, he stepped forward directly, ran to Li Fangchen's side, and rubbed Li Fangchen's thigh hard.
patted Aurora's head, "All the military rations will be replaced tonight, one piece of jerky per person for each meal, and you can't eat enough, which is unacceptable!" ”
Before, he ate the military rations transported by the household department, because he marched with the army, Li Fangchen ordered the White Wolf Army not to mention eating meat. Now that the army is divided, jerky should be supplied.
Their 6,000 people can eat for more than half a year, but if they are replaced by more than 20,000 people, at most a month, it will directly increase fivefold.
"Hehe, the brothers can't hold it back for a long time."
Qin Huaiyu and Chai Zhewei laughed at the same time, they can eat meat, who wants to gnaw on that cake as hard as a stone?
Why not give the other 20,000 troops?
Nonsense, Li Fangchen has already handed over the method of making dried meat, but there is no way for Datang to completely make it into a marching meal, but it has become an occasional reward in the army.
The White Wolf Army is different, nominally, these are all their own private soldiers.
After waiting for three days in a row, in these three days, Li Fangchen's White Wolf Army had reached a range of less than fifteen miles from Ganzhou City.
Then this place is sparsely populated, backed by mountains, and if it weren't for the Turkic spies not probing carefully, I'm afraid they would have been exposed long ago.
It is also thanks to the division of troops determined by Li Fangchen before, so that the Turks got the news that the army of the Tang Dynasty had just entered Longyou Dao.
As for the Turkic people they saw, the white wolf would not leave a living mouth at all, so for now, the army of more than 6,000 people is still invisible.
"Your Highness, there's news!"
"Come on in."
Looking at the military detective who rushed back at the risk of death, Li Fangchen motioned for him to take a sip of tea.
The military detective hurriedly said: "Your Highness, those Turkic dogs are now camped five miles outside the Yumen Pass, there are definitely a lot of people, and the information is wrong." ”
"Oh? In this way, the other party is not just 50,000 people, right? ”
