Chapter 1275: The Xue brothers, marching alone
1275. The Xue brothers, alone
After capturing Murong Xiaoyun, Li Pojun led the army straight into the northwest, Tuyuhun's first line of defense, the line from Mantou Mountain to Kushan has been breached, and most of the elite have been lost.
Li Pojun went to this time purely because of his melee exploits, how could this battle of annihilation be without his performance. Li Pojun also wanted to fight a few battles, but he didn't actually allow it, and before he could get to the place, Li Jing and others were in a mess, attacking the city and pulling out the village, directly laying down hundreds of miles of land, all the way to the shore of Qinghai Lake.
Here, Li Pojun hurried to join the battle to destroy the country, but a Tang army over there gradually fell into a dangerous situation.
The King of Tianzhu fled all the way west, burning the grassland all the way, and blocking Li Jing's pursuit with Li Jing's pursuers, which hindered Li Jing's pursuit, but Li Jing did not make the King of Tianzhu feel better, and also retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, sending the Xue Wanche brothers to lead five thousand light horsemen, attacking all the way, not fighting with him, and destroying the grassland near the Red Sea.
However, as the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and Li Jing was able to think of this strategy of retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, but he did not consider the candidate for implementation.
Although the Xue Wanche brothers are brave and capable, and they know the art of war and tactics, they are not reckless, but they also have their own ideas in their hearts.
Niu Xindui and Chishuiyuan fought twice, and the Xue Wanche brothers did not get any military achievements, and finally the two brothers of the Kushan War made up their minds to make great achievements and performed exceptionally well, but they didn't expect Li Jing to hide from them and arrange Su Dingfang, a strange soldier, Su Dingfang was the last straw that overwhelmed the enemy of Kushan, gave the Tianzhu King a fatal blow, and captured seven or eight famous kings, which is the great achievement of the victory.
There is no doubt that the most outstanding performance in the Battle of Kushan is not the Xue brothers who are dedicated to meritorious service, but also Su Dingfang, who has been running for hundreds of miles, which makes the Xue Wanche brothers extremely annoyed, and even faintly dissatisfied with Su Dingfang in their hearts.
So after Li Jing proposed the strategy of attacking and harassing the Tianzhu King and not allowing him to recuperate in peace, the Xue brothers jumped up and asked for their lives, with a posture that I had to do, Li Jing only said that they were meritorious, and Su Dingfang, stubborn Sili and others had a lot of merit, but it was the turn of the Xue brothers, so they agreed.
In the end, Li Jing ordered the Xue brothers to lead 5,000 light horsemen to pursue along the Gaoyu River, looting and destroying all the way, raiding and harassing the surroundings of the Tianzhu King, and preventing him from living in peace.
Li Jing personally led a large army into the West Sea and confronted the Red Sea army of the Tianzhu King.
And just three days after the Xue brothers set off, Li Pojun, who had just arrived in Kushan, also received a military report, seeing Li Jing's arrangement, Li Pojun also nodded and praised, worthy of being a famous general through the ages, this forced the Tuyuhun people into a corner, several armies were broken, and the sword pointed at the city.
Suddenly, Li Pojun's body was shocked, and the Xue Wanche brothers attacked the Tianzhu King...... How can you see Li Pojun raised his eyebrows here, Zhang Wenjun noticed Li Pojun's strange appearance, and was about to speak, when Li Pojun suddenly opened his eyes and woke up violently, "It's not good, Erxue will be defeated!" ”。
Zhang Wenqian and the others were also shocked when they heard this, "General, this is ...... What's going on? ”
"Erxue? The two Xue Wanche brothers are veteran generals, and it is not difficult to attack and harass the task, how can there be a problem? Zhai Changsun also asked with a puzzled expression.
Li Pojun shook his head and said straightly: "Seek merit." He suddenly remembered the historical record, although he didn't remember it very really, but he also remembered that Li Jing's only defeat in the battle against Tuyuhun seemed to be the Xue brothers, and Xue Wanche and the two almost died in the grassland, it should be this time.
Li Pojun is indeed not mistaken, the Xue brothers at this moment are also like the original trajectory of history, and they are stepping into danger step by step.
A day later, in the north of the Red Sea, in the camp of the Tang Army and the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing was discussing the military situation with Gao Yongsheng, Zhi Lost Sili and others.
Sure enough, two military reports were sent in front of the other and one in the back.
Li Jing smiled and said straightly: "These two war reports are fateful", and after that, he only heard the messenger at the door of the tent shouting: "The ambassador of the northwest pacification, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an urgent report", and the other person shouted: "Xue Wanche military report of the Left Guard Commander Army".
Li Jing stipulated that generals abroad must issue a military newspaper on three days to report on the military situation in real time.
Li Jing took the two military newspapers and directly opened Li Pojun's military report.
In terms of position, Li Pojun is the crown prince, as an ambassador of pacification, he has the right to supervise the army, and he is on a par with the marshal.
Li Jing opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly, and his expression was also a little surprised.
Seeing this, Gao Yongsheng and the others hurriedly asked, "Great Shuai, what did His Highness say?" "Could it be that His Highness is in danger?"
Li Jing bowed his hand, opened Xue Wanche's military report again, looked at it with a solemn face, and then was furious, "I dare to go forward alone and violate my military orders."
The generals were shocked again, and when Li Jing reported the two military reports, the generals were also shocked in their hearts.
It was not the Xue Wanche brothers who were shocked by the lone army, but also the unpredictable prophet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"This ...... This, how did His Highness know that General Xue would be defeated? Gao Yingsheng was dumbfounded and asked directly.
Duan Zhixuan's face also moved slightly, and said: "Didn't you just say in the letter, Your Highness concluded that the two Xue Wanche brothers were in a hurry to seek merit, and at this time, they would definitely rush forward alone and take the initiative to attack, and he was only 5,000 soldiers and horses, if he was ambushed, ......."
Li Jing's face was also heavy, his eyes were staring at the map, and he was also a little frightened when he held the military newspaper in his hand.
The scene of the Xue brothers' eagerness to fight came to mind, and Li Jing still wanted to fulfill him at that time, but he didn't expect to forget that the Xue brothers dared to advance alone, and they were not satisfied with attacking on the edge, but went deep into their hinterland.
At this moment, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of da-
"Newspaper... Dashuai, the troops and horses of the Tianzhu King were mobilized and headed southwest."
"Southwest?" Li Jing was startled, turned to look at the map, and was furious, "Xue Wanche is in danger." The map shows the direction of the marching of the various armies on the side, as well as the movements of the detected enemy troops.
"How many soldiers are there?" Li Jing turned around and asked again.
The scout was embarrassed to hear this, "It's too far away to see it."
Obviously, the soldiers and horses of the Tianzhu King are heading southwest, and the target is the Xue brothers.
Li Jing slammed his fist on the table, "Xue Wanche Xue Wanjun rushed forward, and he must be surrounded and killed by the Heavenly Pillar King." The generals also had bad faces when they heard this.
"It's too late to inform the Xue brothers to return to the army now, so the only way to do it is to help." Su Dingfang, who had not made a sound for a long time, spoke up.
Su Dingfang's words reminded the generals, and when the words fell, they asked for reinforcements to the Xue brothers, not because of how good the Xue brothers were, but because the fighting machine was rare, and the Tang army was full of talents, and it was not easy to get a chance to lead the army alone.
Li Jing was silent for a moment, then raised his head sharply and shouted, "Su Lie."
"The end will be".
"With you leading your troops to rush to the aid of the Xue brothers in the upper reaches of the Gaoyu River, if you can't do anything, withdraw quickly."
"The last general has an order", Su Dingfang shook his spirits, and the leader with a gun went out, leaving the envious eyes of the generals in the tent.
This Su Lie is really fateful, first followed His Royal Highness the Prince, and then accumulated to the left to lead the army to the general, the lord of Linqing County, this time it is a plan to capture Mantou Mountain, kill the King of Bailan, the soldiers took Mantou City without blood, forced the King of Guangding, and then a hundred miles to attack Kushan, to help break the enemy, capture and kill seven or eight famous kings, and now to rescue the Xue brothers......
With so much credit, I will be red when I say it, and when I return to Beijing after the war, I can't say that another county duke or a general will be born.
