Chapter 177: Plotting to Seize the Shuai Seal (2)
Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many Confucian generals in the army, all of whom are capable of entering and exiting the prime minister, Jiang Ke is one of them, and after Li Jing, the second person to become the prime minister from the general, his person is elegant and elegant, with a long beard fluttering, at first glance, he looks like a weak scholar in general, but the iron-blooded air on his body is very much people can have, not angry and self-authority, the deep and wise eyes, the indifferent look, all show the spirit of the iron-blooded generals in the army, Rao is Li Xian's natural calm and outstanding, but the silence for a while is relatively down, It also feels like I'm about to lose my breath.
Okay, if you don't speak, then let's just talk about it! Seeing that the old god Jiang Ke was sitting on the ground and becoming a mud bodhisattva, Li Xian smiled helplessly, and he could only decide to provoke the topic by himself, this is not that Li Xian's patience is not good, but in fact, he came here to ask for help, and he can't just play the trick of silence with the master to the end.
"Jiang Xiangjunjian, Xiao Wang's intention is to come to Jiang Xiang's heart, yes, Xiao Wang is to ask Jiang Xiang to help alone, don't miss the fighter, I don't know if Jiang Xiang can allow it?" Li Xian didn't plan to go around the bend with Jiang Ke, so he said his intentions straightforwardly.
"Hmm."
Jiang Ke didn't answer Li Xian's question, and he didn't even have a trace of change in the indifferent expression on his face, but just said noncommittally.
"Jiang Xiang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows that this battle is imperative, and the meaning of it does not need Xiao Wang's rap, there are only two things to worry about, one is that Xiao Wang can take on this responsibility? Second, it's nothing more than the criticism of some people with ulterior motives, but can you ever say wrong? Li Xian didn't care about Jiang Ke's cold expression at all, smiled slightly, and continued to say to himself.
"Your Highness is so courageous, but I don't know what to do in this battle?"
Jiang Ke didn't expect Li Xian to say it so clearly, his eyelids jumped slightly, he glanced at Li Xian quite meaningfully, lowered his head again, and asked slowly.
"Jiang Xiang asked well, the previous battle of Dafeichuan seems to have started because of the invasion of Anxi by Tubo, in fact, it is not, the root of it is that the children of Tubo want to compete with my Tang Dynasty, since Songtsan Gampo, Tubo is growing in strength, ambition is gradually rising, and my Tang Dynasty is already two heroes can not stand side by side, if you don't plan early, there will be danger in the future, this sincerity can not be taken lightly, the previous battle, is to encircle Wei to save Zhao Zhi's strategy, attack Tuguhun is false, save the Western Regions is true, this strategy is not bad, General Xue's attack on Wuhai is also a wonderful hand, However, Guo waited to be sealed and misled the country, and suffered this defeat, and now the morale of the army has been frustrated, and Anxi is afraid of great difficulties, and now the plan is to attack instead of defending, in order to slightly reverse the situation, this is the general trend, Jiang Xiang thinks so? Li Xian came prepared, analyzed the overall battle situation, and was very thoughtful in his words.
"Hmm."
Jiang Ke is a handsome talent, and his grasp of the battle situation is very comparable, what Li Xian said is exactly what he thinks in his heart, but Jiang Ke is cautious, and he is not willing to easily say this matter publicly, at this time, seeing Li Xian's strategic analysis is so in place, there was a flash of essence in his eyes, but he did not comment, just bowed his head, and said with a hint of affirmation, and then waved his hand, signaling Li Xian to continue.
"Now our army is newly defeated, the Tibetan thieves will not expect our army to dare to go and return, this can have a surprise effect, and in the previous battle, the Tubo army in order to force General Xue to fight a head-on decisive battle, had to concentrate several times the army to surround it, its Western Regions troops have been exhausted, it is a good opportunity for our army to counterattack, if you can get a fierce general Tuyuhun to drag the main force of the thief army, and the Anxi army can take advantage of the situation to counterattack, why worry about Anxi is not back, if so, my Tang Dynasty will be able to calmly dispatch troops, and the disaster of Tubo will be reduced!" Li Xian nodded solemnly, and then continued to analyze the necessity of this battle and the overall strategic thinking.
"It is true that those who fight in Tuyuhun will die, Your Highness is the body of a daughter, why do you need to risk this?"
Li Xian had already said this, and Jiang Ke couldn't stay silent any longer, so he let out a sigh and raised the most core question.
"There are three reasons why the little king must go to this battle: first, the little king is a prince, and if the prince leads the troops to the battle, his voice is bound to alarm the Tibetan thieves, and others may not be able to have this effect; Second, Xiao Wang Xiang has no experience in the army, and the thief will treat me as a new one, and the heart of Xiao Wang will be used for profit, and it is not difficult to win; Third, thanks to the attention of the descendants of the Duke of Wei, Xiao Wang has to pass on the strategy of the Duke of Wei, and he does not dare to say that he is invincible in the world, but he is confident that he can fight. Li Xian smiled confidently and came out with three reasons that belonged to him.
"If Your Highness goes, how many soldiers and horses will be needed, and how will you fight it?"
After Jiang Ke pondered silently, he did not directly comment on Li Xian's three reasons, but asked him about the actual tactics, obviously, Jiang Ke already agreed with Li Xian's analysis in his heart, but he still had doubts about whether Li Xian was really capable of this battle.
"Xiao Wang said, this battle is really a containment, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses, 5,000 troops are enough, as for the tactics, not only the strategy of the former Han Huo to get sick, but there is nothing to do." Li Xian is very shrewd, and when he heard Jiang Ke ask about the actual tactics, he already guessed the changes in Jiang Ke's heart, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but calmly explained.
"Five thousand? Is it enough? ”
When Jiang Ke heard that Li Xian only asked for 5,000 soldiers and horses, his brows couldn't help frowning - now Tuyuhun has gathered nearly 400,000 people from the main army of Tubo, and he also has the advantage of the right time, place and people, and 5,000 soldiers and horses running there is not enough to stuff people's teeth, and if he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.
"Five thousand is enough, the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, Xiao Wang is not a decisive battle with the enemy, there are more soldiers but it is in the way, and the cavalry of Longyou can do it with a brigade!" Li Xian nodded calmly and replied confidently.
Li Xian said it lightly, but Jiang Ke didn't dare to feel at ease, after all, the war is not a child's play, with the respect of Prince Li Xian, if there is a loss, it is not a joke, not to mention anything else, but whoever recommends Li Xian, I am afraid that they will have to be beaten hard, moreover, although Jiang Ke has heard of Li Xian's reputation as "Prince Zhibing" for a long time, but he has never seen Li Xian's martial arts with his own eyes, how dare he believe that Li Xian really has the courage of Huo Quai, after pondering for a while, he suddenly waved to Jiang Ye standing under the hall and said: "Ye'er, come to the hall!" ”
"Grandpa, please tell me something."
Jiang Ye grew up in the border army since he was a child, although he was not very old, but he had seen a few battle formations with Jiang Ke, he was a militant, he had listened to Li Xian in the hall before, and he had already been enthusiastic, and he wished he could go to Tuguhun to kill him, but in front of Li Xian, he did not dare to run up to the hall to talk nonsense, and when he heard his grandfather call, he must have something to do with this battle, and he became excited, and he took a few big strides into the lobby, bowing with a smile on his face, hurriedly replied.
Jiang Ye's parents died early, and they were completely pulled by Jiang Ke, how could Jiang Ke not guess this kid's thoughts, seeing Jiang Ye's smile on his face, Jiang Ke immediately glared at him angrily, but Jiang Ye was very skinny, and he was not afraid of his grandfather, who had always been serious, not only did not restrain his smile, but squeezed his brows and smiled a little more proudly.
"Your Royal Highness is a clear guide, the war is dangerous, and you can't do it by courage, although the grandson of the old decay is not a weapon, but he also has a bit of courage, if His Royal Highness can fight and win, the old decay may be able to do a little bit of meager strength." Jiang Ke obviously didn't have much to do with his grandson, so he simply stopped paying attention to Jiang Ye's naughtiness, turned his head to look at Li Xian, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, just follow Jiang Xiang!"
Li Xian is an out-and-out militant in his bones, and he has the heart to consider Jiang Ye's ability, so he will not oppose Jiang Ke's proposal, so he accepted it.
"Your Highness, please follow the last general to the martial arts arena to try your best."
Jiang Ye obviously also wanted to measure Li Xian's martial arts, and when he heard that Li Xian agreed to the request of the competition, he became excited, and he didn't wait for Jiang Ke to speak, he smiled, waved his hand at Li Xian, and issued an invitation to fight.
"Jiang Xiang, Major General, please."
Li Xian got up very simply, nodded with a smile, and after a polite word, he was accompanied by the ancestors of the Jiang family to the martial arts arena in the backyard.
The Jiang family is a family of military generals, although they are not very particular about the decoration of the mansion, but the martial arts field is quite tidy, there are all kinds of weapons on the weapon rack, and there are all kinds of stone locks, arrow stacks, and stables on the side of the field, and they are all spotless, obviously because they are used every day, with the keen vision of Li Xian, it can be seen that the grandfather and grandson in front of them are both diligent and incorruptible people, although they have not yet fought each other, they have already looked up to Jiang Ye a little bit in their hearts.
"Your Highness, the last general is accustomed to using a horse lance, I don't know what weapons His Highness wants to choose?"
Jiang Ye obviously couldn't wait to make a move with Li Xian, and as soon as he arrived at the martial arts arena, he immediately ordered all the soldiers and generals who were practicing on the martial arts arena to retreat, and brought two war horses, and then picked up a long horse lance with a spear head and a ** bag, and ran to Li Xian's side with a smile.
"That Gu also used a horse lance."
Li Xian is best at knife skills, for this reason, he also deliberately created an imitation of the "Qinglong Yanyue Knife", of course, it is not as heavy as the legendary eighty-two catties, that is, more than sixty catties, with Li Xian's arm strength, dancing, its lethality is absolutely shocking, but at this time it is a competition, not a life-and-death fight, Li Xian naturally will not use such a real guy, fortunately, Li Xian has also worked hard in marksmanship, although it is not as high as the knife technique, but it is not comparable to ordinary generals, is not afraid of Jiang Ye's challenge, so he replied indifferently, the Jiang family general who was waiting on the side went to the whole guy, Jiang and Li both got on the horse, and each Lemara went to the two ends of the martial arts arena, and a dragon and tiger fight began......
