Chapter 245: A Game of Chess
After thinking for a while, Li Zhen said slowly: "Although the Xi, Khitan, and Murwei tribes are neighbors of each other, they have always been incompatible, but they have formed a trend of unity after the arrival of the remnants of the Uighurs, so I conclude that it must be the Uighurs who are responsible for it, and since they have Su Qin, then we will make Zhang Yi once!" ”
"You mean to destroy the four clans?" Gao Yu then asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, as long as it disintegrates the momentum of its integration, then the danger of my Datang will be solved!" Li Zhen nodded.
Gao Biao looked puzzled when he heard this, "Could it be that you want to make peace with the Xi clan?" ”
"Peace?" Li Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "The Xi clan is weak, wouldn't telling them peace lose all my face in the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Our purpose is Murowei! As long as there is a rift between Murowei and the Khitan, everything will be simple! ”
"In that case, then why didn't you go into the room again? How can you make peace without entering the room? Gao Biao became more and more confused, unable to understand the connection between Li Zhen's words and deeds.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Since the words have come to this, you might as well call Xu Liang and Yan Heng to listen to it together!" ”
After saying that, Li Zhen turned to beckon to Yan Heng and Xu Liang, and after a while, the two walked up to Li Zhen.
"What does General Lee command?" Xu Liang arched his hand and asked, compared with Yan Heng's casualness, Gao Yu's modesty, and Gu Duoda's rudeness, Xu Liang was always a little restrained when facing Li Zhen, and his words and deeds were also strictly in accordance with the official rank, which made people unable to find fault with it.
"General Fang Cai Gao asked about the plan of this march, I think it's time to tell you what I think, if there is anything wrong, General Xu can say it bluntly!" Li Zhen said with a smile.
Xu Liang nodded after hearing this, he was still a little uncomfortable with a general like Li Zhen who completely ignored the order of his superiors and subordinates.
"When we get here, you can't even run if you want to!" Yan Heng's words were a little disgusted, but having said that, Yan Heng never embarrassed Li Zhen, only occasionally complained, and Li Zhen was also very satisfied with the performance of his brother who was like a brother.
"Hahaha, you can't run, but it's not like there's no way back!" Li Zhen beckoned everyone to sit on the ground, and then said straight to the point: "I have already said with General Gao and Lao Gu that our purpose this time is to disintegrate the situation of the four clans, the Xi clan is weak and not enough to be troubled, the Khitan was destroyed by us, and this kind of hatred naturally cannot be resolved, and the Uighurs rely on the Murwei, so our target is only the Murwei clan!" ”
After hearing this, Xu Liang nodded and said, "General Li is thoughtful, if he can break the situation of the four clans, it is not the best choice, but it is ......."
"I know what General Xu thinks in his heart, we have never had any intersection with Murwei along the way, and even I want to go deep into the hinterland of the Khitan and Xi tribes by risking my own life, it seems that this is also a strategy anyway!" Li Zhen looked at Xu Liang and said with a smile.
Xu Liang didn't speak, but just looked at Li Zhen intently, obviously what Li Zhen said was exactly what he didn't understand in his heart.
Li Zhen looked at Yan Heng again, and saw that although Yan Heng also looked puzzled, there was a kind of confidence in his eyes, and Li Zhen's confidence in him, for Yan Heng, every decision Li Zhen made seemed to be impossible to take into account with common sense, but the final outcome of each of his decisions could give people unexpected surprises.
"In fact, this is also a very simple truth, I attack the Khitan, no matter whether the Khitan can cope with it or not, he will inevitably ask his allies for help, if I don't expect, at this moment, the Khitan's letter for help is already in the tent of King Xi and Murowei Khan!"
"In that case, why didn't the general cut off the reinforcements from Murowei, but came here instead?" Xu Liang asked confusedly.
"Hahaha, General Xu, don't be impatient, since I just said that I want to do something here in Murowei to dismantle the alliance of the four clans, then we can't move a single soldier to Murowei, a few days ago I sent someone to Bohai Country to send a letter to Dayi Zhen, I believe that now Murowei's reinforcements can no longer reach Khitan!" Li Zhen laughed.
"With this alone, I'm afraid the general's goal can't be achieved!" Xu Liang couldn't help but say worriedly.
"Yes, if it is just like this, it will naturally not make the Khitan dissatisfied with Mur Wei, but General Xu must not forget, we have not committed any offense against Mur Wei Qiu along the way, and even gave up going north to Mur Wei at the most suitable time and place, and instead came to this extremely dangerous place, so that Yelan Khan and Xi Wang Shilang can't help but think of something!"
"With the strength of the Murwei, it shouldn't be difficult to break through the resistance of the Bohai Kingdom, and once this happens, wouldn't it still be a failure?!" Xu Liang asked again.
"What General Xu said is good, but there is such a possibility, but the general must not forget, Murowei is adjacent to the Bohai Kingdom, as long as the Bohai State is stationed on the border between the two ethnic groups, Murowei will have to leave some back roads for himself, so I dare to guarantee that Murowei will definitely not go all out, so the reinforcements of Murowei still can't arrive!"
"And the strength of Mur Wei and the Khitan is almost the same, Mur Wei naturally does not want to start a war with the Bohai State at this time and lose his own strength, regardless of whether the Great Yi Zhen will really send troops to Mur Wei, Mu Wei alone will never take this risk, after all, although it is said that the alliance of the four clans, but if the war is lost by its own strength, it is difficult to guarantee that the Khitan will not take the opportunity to invade Murwei in the future!"
After saying that, Li Zhen looked around at everyone and smiled slightly: "I don't know if I can still understand?" ”
After hearing this, the three of them nodded slightly, only Gu Duoda's mind was drowsy when he heard it.
Seeing that the faces of the three of them were still frowning, Li Zhen couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why don't you still understand it!" ”
Xu Liang thought for a while and asked, "Although the general's plan is good, but we are already under siege at this time, do we really want to attack the Xi clan?" If the Khitans were to encircle behind them at this time, our 3,000 soldiers and horses would have completely fallen into a dead situation! ”
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, so we still need a support army, as long as we hold on here for three days, this game of chess can be lived!" ”
After saying that, Li Zhen slowly got up and looked at the north, and said softly: "Maybe...... You don't have to wait until a year later, you can completely solve the Xi people and Murwei! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's complexion couldn't help but change greatly, and even Gu Duoda suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhen with a shocked face.
"General! Remark...... Why? Xu Liang also got up and asked incredulously.
At this time, I saw Li Zhen turn to look at Xu Liang, "General Xu, if I leave you here, you may hold on for three days?" ”
"As long as we stand still, we talk about three days, and even the end of the seven days will be able to do it!" Xu Liang replied categorically.
"Good! In that case, then everything will be handed over to General Xu! Li Zhen patted Xu Liang on the shoulder and said with a solemn face.
"Where is the general?" Xu Liang asked in surprise.
Li Zhen turned his gaze to the north again, and said slowly: "Huang Jiasi! ”
