Chapter 381: Compare to Me as a Scoundrel?
The east wind breaks me more than the east wind......
Forehead......
No, it's supposed to be a scoundrel and I'm even more scoundrel than you.
Isn't it just playing hooliganism? I'm a dignified Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops are here, and I can't brush you Tubo ghost?
What if someone has a suggestion? What if someone is strategic?
In the face of absolute strength, anyone has to kneel down and sing conquest to Lao Tzu!
Wang Xuance has never been a soldier, but he has been in the army a lot, heroic and righteous in the army, worldly and tricky among the people, Wang Xuance has not experienced anything?
Ninety-nine percent of the experience, plus one percent of the talent, has created today's Wang Xuance.
"Since they are exhausted, let them consume, why should we consume here with them? A small Tubo is just a small Tubo, that is, the 170,000 army has not poured out of the nest, and it can be easily wiped out, besides, the combined strength of the two fronts in the southeast is 1230,000, and at least 110,000, this is the elite of the 110,000 Tang Dynasty, can't you destroy a Tubo? What about the geographical advantage? Under Datang's Jin Ge Iron Horse, how many rounds can he last? Wang Xuance said in high spirits, after a preliminary understanding of the situation, he didn't think this was a problem at all.
Of course, Wang Xuance doesn't think this is a problem, and it doesn't mean that these generals will feel the same way.
"Our army holds a straight line, or takes the water source as the core, or simply chooses the closest distance, it's really not good, it's a big deal to dig a well, as long as the water source is guaranteed to be okay, and the main force is sent to escort the grain, can the Tuyuhun people still succeed?"
"No matter how bad it is, three thousand people are a battalion, fifty miles set up a battalion, connected in a straight line, the baggage team is also gathered in a small number, and three thousand guards are gathered at a time to set off at one time, the escort of three thousand people, plus the strength of the baggage team itself, an average of twenty-five miles before and after, it only takes one day, and you can wait for six thousand reinforcements, is it at least six thousand troops, can it not last for a day?" Wang Xuance said with a click.
Listening to Wang Xuance's plan, everyone suddenly opened their mouths.
Yes, what can you do if you Tuyuhun fights guerrilla warfare? In front of Lao Tzu's main force, you don't dare to show up, even if you send a thousand guards, you don't dare to sneak attack, and now I gather more troops to guard the baggage team, do you still dare to come?
3,000 guards, plus at least 3,000 troops of the baggage team, even if these 3,000 people are not strong, relying on vehicles to defend on the spot, it is still no problem to resist for a day or two.
What's more, within a day, the reinforcements from the two barracks in front and behind will follow, not to mention the 3,000 baggage troops, even the 9,000 main forces gathered together, even if they encounter the main force of Tuyuhun, they will not be afraid at all.
Of course, how many main forces does Tuyuhun still have?
After several major battles, Fu Yun could only divide the troops into zero, and these troops were all gathered together, and 50,000 people could be regarded as the sky.
It's not that he looks down on Tuyuhun, but his strength is like this, and such a small population can support such an army.
As everyone knows, the Tang Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and before the military reform, it could only feed an army of six or seven hundred thousand, and it was still a way of not consuming much to the imperial court.
In today's military system, the Tang army is just over 500,000, although with the growth of the economy, the number of troops is still increasing.
But there is one thing to consider, Datang's economy is more than 100 times better than Tuyuhun.
"I can't afford a big battle, I can't fight a small war!" Su Dingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a fine light flashed.
This is the current situation of Tuyuhun, don't always be frightened by the majesty of the nomads, compared to the Central Plains Dynasty, the strength of the nomads is only temporary.
As powerful as the Xiongnu, tens of thousands of Han troops were killed, but for the Han Dynasty, at most, it was a pain in the flesh, and tens of thousands of people could be transferred from other places in a few months to fill this gap, that is, another tens of thousands of people, and the Han Dynasty could bear it, at least it would not collapse.
But what about the Huns? Are the Huns killed by Wei Qinghuo really hundreds of thousands?
No, the real number of kills is much less than you think.
From Wei Qing's first expedition to the complete defeat of the Huns, the Huns died less than 100,000 people combined, but the number of less than 100,000 people was the youth of the Huns, the older generation was already old, the next generation had not grown up, and even many people did not have the next generation, and there was a fault in an instant, so the collapse was reasonable.
The situation in the East and Turks is exactly the same as that of the Xiongnu, Li Yuanji's battle was only to kill one or two hundred thousand people, even if Jieli was calculated by Xue Yantuo later, and the loss of troops was lost, but in fact the loss was not much, and the real fatal blow to Jieli was the one or two hundred thousand people who were killed by Li Yuanji before, which completely ruined the possibility of Jieli's reversal.
Tuyuhun's situation is slightly better than that of the Turks, but it is only better, and now their situation is similar to a collapse, and it can even be said that Tuyuhun has collapsed.
It's just that the Xiongnu chose to flee far away, the Turks chose to surrender, and Tuyuhun chose to break into pieces and continue to resist.
In the same way, no matter how much you resist, there are not enough troops, as long as the Tang army is not too scattered, not alone, and acts together with a basic unit of 1,000 people, unless Fu Yun gathers a main force of more than 5,000 people to have the ability to fight with them, but it is only a battle, as long as the surrounding Tang army rushes to support, they will be finished.
Tuyuhun couldn't afford to fight, so they chose a clever way to drag the main force of the Tang army here and let them fight a war of attrition here, so that the Tubo people could defeat the invading Li Jing with their superiority in strength, as long as Li Jing was solved, the Tubo people could go north and drive the Tang army away together with the Tuyuhun people.
It's just that the result of Fu Yun's imagination is inevitably too good, of course, at this time, Fu Yun is actually right to make such a choice.
But......
Su Dingfang doesn't care if you're right or not, it's your business and it has nothing to do with me.
"Ben Shuai personally led the army south!" seemed to have found a sunny avenue, and Su Dingfang's eyes showed all kinds of firmness.
Tuyuhun, after the destruction of Tubo, the crisis here will naturally be resolved.
As for now......
There are no major crises, but small troubles are constant, but this is far from a reason to hold up one's main forces.
Just like Wang Xuance said, proper contraction, to ensure the safety of the transportation line, the army smashed Huanglong, and the rest, how much strength does Fu Yun still have? Even if Fu Yun still wants to resist, what about the people under him?
"General Zhang, I'll leave the matter of Tuyuhun to you." Su Dingfang thought about it, and finally chose Zhang Liang.
Compared with several others, Zhang Liang has experience in leading alone, and he is also excellent in all aspects, so it is indeed a good choice to stay in Tuyuhun.
Of course, the enemy faced this time is not strong, and maybe whoever stays will be a little unhappy in his heart, but there is no way, someone must stay.
"The last general obeys!" Zhang Liang nodded with a wry smile and arched his hand.
Indeed, he was very unhappy in his heart, but Zhang Liang was not Hou Junji's kind of two hundred and five, even if he was unhappy, he would not dare to disobey the military order, if nothing happened on the front line, it would be fine, once something happened, he Zhang Liang would be the first to run.
"The commander will leave the Hou Junji department to you, and in addition, transfer 10,000 people from the commander's headquarters to be dispatched by you, be sure to ensure the safety of the transportation line, and if necessary, you can give up all areas except the transportation line." Su Dingfang continued to command.
Of the 170,000 troops, Su Dingfang directly controlled 70,000 troops, and the remaining five generals, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, and Gao Zhensheng, each controlled 20,000 soldiers and horses, drew out 10,000 troops, and also had 60,000 troops in their hands.
"General Li, the heavy responsibility of protecting the transportation will be handed over to you, the section from Yumen Pass to Tuyuhun does not need too many troops, General Zhang's troops and horses will cooperate with you, General Li is mainly responsible for the section from Tuyuhun to Tubo, the road over there is difficult to walk and more dangerous, so the burden on General Li's shoulders is not light." Su Dingfang continued to instruct, and this time, he chose Li Daoyan of the clan.
Li Yuanji didn't want the clan to make too many military exploits, but at this time, some clans had to use it, but Li Daozong had already stepped down as the governor of Lingzhou and transferred to Yongzhou Assassin Shi, although it was Mingsheng, but in fact it was deprived of his military power.
Su Dingfang didn't want to make it difficult for Li Yuanji, so he took advantage of this time to reasonably suppress these clans.
Of course, Su Dingfang is not the kind of person who will do anything for the sake of the end, and the so-called suppression is just to prevent him from gaining too many military exploits, not to make him unable to get involved.
"No!" Li Daoyan nodded, as if he had expected this situation for a long time, and he kept his mouth shut, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Of course, Li Daoyan himself is willing to accept this result, and if it weren't for the war, he would even want to step down and return to Chang'an.
"General, the last general has a proposal." Zhang Liang, who had just taken over as the commander-in-chief of Tuyuhun, had to think about some problems, and when he stayed in this position, he always had to think about some issues that should be worried about in this position.
Su Dingfang nodded and motioned for Zhang Liang to speak.
"At the end, it is more than enough to defend Tuyuhun with 50,000 troops, even if you disperse a line, it is difficult to open the gap if the Tuyuhun people gather the main force, but out of Tuyuhun, there is no army to protect it, so the danger will be more. The last general felt that General Li could wait at the junction of Tuyuhun and Tubo, and as for the way from Yumen Pass to the junction, it could be completely handed over to the soldiers stationed in each barracks to be responsible, not to mention much, each barracks sent 2,000 people to escort to the next barracks after receiving the baggage, plus the strength of the baggage team itself, it could free up thousands of troops, and find something to do for the little cubs in one, so as not to have nothing to do. ”
"Yes!" Su Dingfang nodded, these are small problems, and he is only responsible for fifty miles, a day's time, and it is also a good choice to be able to invest the saved troops on the other side.
"General, the flying pigeon has passed the book!"
Su Dingfang was stunned, the flying pigeon transmission is only available to secret guards, it is fast and secretive, and the army is also equipped with secret guards, and there are not many of them, mainly to ensure that the news can be transmitted under special circumstances.
But the flying pigeon biography itself can't write many words, so it is very brief, reading the content above, Su Dingfang looked at Li Daoyan a little speechless: "General Li, Your Majesty ordered you to return to Chang'an immediately!" ”
