Chapter 295: Zhang Wang

Because Li Jing assigned Zhang Yunwen to the North Road, when Li Daozong packed up his things and went south with the 15,000 soldiers and horses of Hou Jun's army, Zhang Yunwen had to watch them leave with a smile on his face.

Especially Li Daozong, he specially ran to Zhang Yunwen's camp, patted Zhang Yunwen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Yunwen, my brother will go first and make contributions, so you can accompany Mr. Li well!" Hahaha! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he was immediately depressed, and immediately hit Li Daozong and said: "Hmph, don't be complacent, you are with Hou Junji's kid." I wonder if the two of you can get along harmoniously? ”

When Li Daozong heard this, he said solemnly: "Brother, although I and Hou Junji have some dirty feelings, but this is a private matter, and the Southern Route Army is attacking Tuyuhun, this is a public matter, how can public and private be mixed?" ”

Hearing these resounding words, Zhang Yunwen suddenly stood in awe: "Brother Daozong is really a frank gentleman!" ”

At this time, Li Daozong's face changed, and he made a hippie smile: "Yunwen, this time, I came to ask you for help with something?" ”

"What?"

"Well, it's the scout, can you allocate a few hundred for my brother's use? Although Mr. Li has found a lot of party members to be guides, I don't worry about them! Well, Yunwen, do you think this thing will be successful or not? Li Daozong looked at Zhang Yunwen expectantly.

"Hundreds?" Zhang Yunwen asked with a face full of surprise, "Brother Dao wants a few hundred people?" ”

"Well, one or two hundred people will do!" Hearing Zhang Yunwen's rhetorical question, Li Daozong hurriedly changed his words.

"How can that be?" Zhang Yunwen said with a serious face, "Brother Dao is also the chief of 15,000 soldiers and horses, what role can these two hundred people play?" Later, I will ask Li Yang to leave with you with a thousand people! ”

When Li Daozong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "That is the case, then my brother thanks Yunwen again!"

It took two days for Li Daozong to reorganize his troops and horses, and gathered 15,000 men, and Hou Junji's 15,000 men, a total of 30,000 people, left the vicinity of Kushan and chased them south. Along the way, the food of the military horses was all bean grain and wheat cakes carried by the soldiers. Li Daozong hoped to travel hundreds of miles south and find a good pasture.

The army of the southern route had just set off, and Li Jing also sprinkled the army of the northern route in his hands, but the main direction was the west and northwest. Because after Fu Yun set the fire, there was no trace, so Li Jing had to send a few more teams to expand the search area.

"If you were Fu Yun, where would you go?" Zhang Yunwen was not sent out, he was talking to Xue Wanche at the moment.

Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun plus a Xue Wanshu, the three brothers of the Xue family are all military generals, some are governors of one party, some are generals and one is a young eunuch in the palace. However, Xue Wanche was the person who was built by Prince Yin, and although he later surrendered to Li Shimin, he did not have many opportunities to fight.

At the beginning, Zhang Yunwen also had a fight with Xue Wanche and supported a hundred moves. If you fight Zhang Yunwen again now, I'm afraid that Xue Wanche will definitely lose.

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's question, Xue Wanche smiled and said: "If I were Fu Yun, I would run anywhere, but I wouldn't go back to Fu Yun City!" ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately clapped his hands and said, "Hehe, General Xue and Zai Xia thought of a place!" I also felt that this Fu Yun would not run to Fu Qi City. I will only walk in the vast grassland moraine! ”

Xue Wanche nodded and continued: "So the chief manager sent several people to search one after another. I'm afraid you and I will be sent out next! ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, three days later, the Xue family brothers set out from the camp with 5,000 men and horses and headed southwest. Although Zhang Yunwen was not dispatched, most of the scouts at hand were dispatched, a small team of 20 people, and a full 70 squads were sent to carry out reconnaissance missions.

At this time, there were only more than 10,000 people around Li Jing.

didn't stay long in the Kushan camp, and Li Jing also led the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses all the way to the northwest. The following days were marching, camping, and collecting information from all kinds of armies, and the whole process was a bit boring, even boring.

The most fun thing in every day is the competition with Qi Bi He Li. Since getting acquainted with Zhang Yunwen, he has to compete with Zhang Yunwen every day, although he has more losses and fewer wins, he is never tired of it. The reason for this phenomenon is that Zhang Yunwen once bragged with Qibi He Li, saying that he had a record in attacking the Turks. So, the Turkic general pulled Zhang Yunwen to compete.

The 10,000 Turkic soldiers and horses of Khibi Heli were also sent to the west, led by a leader, to kill them in the west.

In this way, the days passed, and now it is late April.

"Yunwen, I really can't hold it back! Tell me, what kind of battle are we fighting, we can't even see a single enemy, only see our soldiers being sent out in batches, what is the situation now, we don't know, how should this be? No, I'm going to have to ask the chief manager today! After a fight with Zhang Yunwen, He Li said while sitting and resting.

Zhang Yunwen also wanted to understand what Li Jing was planning, so he nodded and came to Li Jing's big tent with He Li.

Hearing the meaning of the two, Li Jing smiled and said: "The so-called impermanence of soldiers, impermanence of water, this way of using soldiers, but in the word 'change'!" ”

As soon as Li Jing said this, He Li, who was next to him, suddenly lit up his eyes and listened attentively.

"The word 'change' is a test of the ability to make decisions on the spot. For example, if the original king of the city could ignore the fire and fight hard, although he could catch up with Fu Yun, the loss would definitely be not small. So the Dao Sect did not pursue. It's a decision, it's a trade-off. The word 'change' revolves around this decision and trade-off. Li Jing saw Qibi He Li and Zhang Yunwen with a sudden look, took a sip of tea, and continued to talk.

"The so-called lesser of two evils and the heavier of two benefits. Now our army is attacking Tuyuhun and chasing and killing Fu Yun, which is only one of the aspects, but the more important thing is to completely defeat and cripple Tuyuhun so that it cannot make waves, which can be regarded as completing the combat purpose of our army. Fu Yun has escaped into this grassland. In the moraine, the four fields are vast, how to find it? If you send a large army to search around, it will really outweigh the losses. Didn't you just say that the lesser of two evils is the heavier of the two benefits. Therefore, the old man sent several elite troops, in the name of searching, but in fact, they went to seize the important stronghold pass of Tuyuhun, and put the entire land south and west of the West Sea under the control of our army, compressing the space for Fu Yun's activities, and forcing it to flee westward. ”

Hearing Li Jing's words, Zhang Yunwen suddenly nodded, looked at the large map hanging in the big tent, and thought thoughtfully.

According to the team sent by Li Jing, from the north of the West Sea to the Dafei River in the south, and the entire east of the West Sea, a large net has been spread, and the Tang army is like nails piercing into this area. All that remains is to sweep away the Tuyuhun resistance in this area and then advance westward.

However, each unit sent as many as 10,000 troops, as little as 3,000, so wouldn't the troops be afraid of being broken by Tuyuhun seizing the opportunity?

When Zhang Yunwen raised this question, Li Jing said with a smile: "The lines of the various ministries intersect with each other, and they echo each other. In addition, the old man also left a cavalry as a maneuver, which can be guaranteed to be foolproof! As he spoke, Li Jing glanced at He Li. It seems that the mobile force he is referring to is the 5,000 cavalry of the Che He force.

After a general understanding of Li Jing's layout, Zhang Yunwen's heart was much more down-to-earth.
