"Hey, I really regret it, I knew that Su Shouxiang was so unbearable, how could I follow his advice, now not only can the night attack fail, but it has lost thousands of elites in vain, which is really ......."

Between the words, Li Xiaoyi even brought a few hints of sobbing.

"Hey....."

For others, they may be deceived by Li Xiaoyi's behavior, but in Wei Yuanzhong's opinion, Li Xiaoyi's method is too ridiculous.

Just like what he said just now, as the commander of the army, no one can be a victorious general, and it is normal to make mistakes, but now Li Xiaoyi is doing this kind of childlike posture in front of him, but the meaning of shirking responsibility in his words is very strong, and such a coy gesture makes Wei Yuanzhong even more disappointed.

"I wonder what the chief manager plans to do next?"

Wei Yuanzhong, who was completely dead to Li Xiaoyi, didn't bother to persuade him, and asked bluntly.

"It's ....... Hey, this is a difficult problem, although the Xu army shows weakness, it can occupy a favorable position, our army is strong, but it is hindered by the obstruction of Xiaxi, it is difficult to give full play to the advantage of troops, if the confrontation continues like this, even if our army can finally achieve victory, I am afraid that the court will not be satisfied, besides, if you want to attack, I don't know how many soldiers' lives will be lost, therefore, I feel that I can think of another way. ”

Li Xiaoyi still said with a gloomy expression, but the essence in his eyes that flowed between his eyes revealed his true thoughts in his heart.

"The chief manager wants to take a detour."

Who is Wei Yuanzhong, the famous prime minister in the future, who took over the important bridge between Wu Zetian and Li Longji, and easily guessed Li Xiaoyi's true thoughts.

"Those who know me are all over the army, but only the military division." For Wei Yuanzhong to guess his mind so quickly, Li Xiaoyi was surprised, and he was also extremely admired in his heart.

"I wonder where the chief manager wants to take a detour?"

"It's a bit out of sight for a military advisor like this, how can you not think of a detour?"

"The chief manager wants to take a detour to Shiliang."

Wei Yuanzhong no longer pretended to be stupid, and said directly.

"Yes, now Xiaxi is occupied by Xu thieves, our army wants to live, unless it pays a huge price, so, if you want to reach Yangzhou City as soon as possible, the only way is to detour, so there are only two roads to the east and west, to the west, the west is the huge Gaoyou Lake, and the canal runs through, our army is hundreds of thousands of elites, it is extremely difficult to act, therefore, it is definitely not possible to go west, in this way, the only way to go east is to detour, and Shiliang is the best place, as long as we successfully pass Shiliang, the army can reach Yangzhou City in the blink of an eye, and then pacify the Xu thief, can be described as hand-to-hand. ”

Li Xiaoyi raised his hand and pointed to the surface of the river, changed his appearance just now, and said proudly.

"It's all over the place, but I don't know if you capture someone else, or someone else captures you."

Looking at the proud Li Xiaoyi, Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help but think of it in peace.

It's no wonder that Wei Yuanzhong thinks so, if it is somewhere else, if it encounters such a place that cannot be attacked for a long time, a detour is a compromise method, but this time it is not possible, not that the detour will not work, but that the detour road is more difficult than forcibly attacking Xiaxi.

If Xiaxi is a solid earthen city, then Shiliang is a great wall built of 10,000 years of hard rock.

The terrain of Shiliang is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, compared to Duliang Mountain that they have taken, it is not as good as Duliang Mountain, such a precipitous place, how can it be easily taken, and it will not be so easy to Li Xiaoyi, as if as long as the army arrives at Shiliang, it will be taken.

"I don't know if the Grand Steward has already decided or ......"

Hearing Wei Yuanzhong's questioning tone, Li Xiaoyi put away his previous pride and asked suspiciously, "Why, could it be that the military advisors have different opinions." ”

After all, Chinese culture is broad and profound, sometimes the meaning of a sentence is not what he wants to express, and even when the tone and tone of speech are different, the meaning expressed is likely to be different.

Wei Yuanzhong heard what he wanted to express from Li Xiaoyi's words, that is, Li Xiaoyi has already decided on this matter, you have an opinion to say, as for whether to listen or not, it's all up to me.

Clearly, Wei Yuanzhong didn't want the Tang army to suffer huge losses, so after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the general manager, there is indeed a different opinion. ”

"Ah, the military advisor has a different opinion, you tell me, what is the same opinion, a certain ear is listening." said so, but the unhappy look on Li Xiaoyi's face revealed his thoughts.

It's just that at this time, Wei Yuanzhong didn't have the heart to look at his face, and said, "Boss, that Shiliang is an important town in the land of Jianghuai, since ancient times, it has been easy to defend and difficult to attack, since ancient times, we want to take Shiliang, but first take Yangzhou, and now we rashly turn to attack Shiliang, I am afraid it will cause a bad impact, in this way, it is better to continue to stay in Xiaxi, as long as Xu Jun shows flaws, we can win in one battle." ”

"The military advisor's words are wrong, Shiliang is indeed an important town in Jianghuai, but Xu Jingye is short-sighted, and he didn't send many troops to garrison there, the entire Shiliang is only a few thousand rabble, as long as our army presses the border, we can win without a fight, and when Shiliang arrives, Xu Jingye and others are just turtles in the urn." Li Xiaoyi still said tenaciously.

"That's different, Xu Jingye is not a fool, if we transfer the army, we will definitely be detected by the Xu army, when the time comes, Xu Jingye can send a large army to garrison Shiliang, there is no need for too many people, as long as there are 10,000 elites, Shiliang Ancient Town is a ghost gate, we don't know where many soldiers will be buried at that time, and please ask the general manager to think twice for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the whole army!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoyi was about to go his own way again, Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help but persuade bitterly.

"Looking for you to say this, our hundreds of thousands of troops just stay here, waiting for the traitors to make mistakes, if they haven't made mistakes, do we have to wait forever, like this, how to explain to the court, to the queen mother, and how will the people of the whole world think of Yu."

"You ........."

Looking at the person in front of him who risked the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for his own selfishness, Wei Yuanzhong felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted to the ground.

Even when Li Xiaoyi and Wei Yuanzhong were arguing about whether to make a detour, a lieutenant ran over quickly, and immediately announced, "Qiqi Chief, a group of people from outside the camp claimed to be the governor of Jiangnan Province, and asked to see the governor, saying that it was a way to help our army cross the river." ”

.....................

"It is worthy of being an elite person, although it seems quite casual, but in the action, he is vigilant all the time, and even many people still exude a strong fierce spirit, but unfortunately, this kind of elite man is not used in the battle to expand the territory and defend the country, but is used to quell the rebellion, I have to say that this is a sadness."

Outside the Tang Army camp, a group of people led by Duan Jian were looking at the Tang Army soldiers in the camp, Duan Jian pointed to these Tang Army soldiers and sighed to the people behind him.

"What Lang Jun said is good, these people are the elite of the border army, for so many years, my Datang can dominate the four seas and dominate the world, relying on these fierce warriors, without them, the Turks will not be wiped out, and the alien races will not be respectful to my Datang, but unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of elite troops have been transferred to the mainland, and the alien races in the land over there are probably going to be trouble." Zhou Xing opened his mouth and sighed.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid this is also the reason why you came here, only by pacifying Xu Jingye's rebels as soon as possible can the world return to calm as soon as possible, and these border soldiers can return to the border as soon as possible, so as to extinguish the ambitions of those aliens, otherwise, if it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that another Turk will reappear." Wen Yurong said with a smile.

Hearing Wen Yurong's ridicule, Duan Jian didn't speak, just grinned.

In fact, Wen Yurong's words are the true thoughts in his heart. Because he knew the direction of history, Duan Jian knew that Xu Jingye's rebels were quickly wiped out after Li Xiaoyi led the army south.

Therefore, after Duan Jian defeated the elite of the Xu army led by Xu Jingye in Xijin Gudu, he no longer planned to make a move, and the province became the target of public criticism, but what he didn't expect was that Li Xiaoyi did not defeat Xu Jingye and suppress the rebellion like a bamboo like a bamboo in history, but instead lost many soldiers with twists and turns, and was still blocked by Xu Jingye in Xiaxi without an inch.

In desperation, Duan Jian didn't care if he would become the target of the public, so he left his army behind with many henchmen and secretly arrived here along the canal.

"The boss has arrived."

Just when Duan Jian and the others were talking happily, a shout announced the arrival of the supreme commander of the Tang Army, Li Xiaoyi.

"Which one is Manager Duan, come over quickly, let me take a good look." Before anyone arrived, a shout reached the ears of Duan Jian and the others from a distance.

Looking at the middle-aged man in civilian clothes who walked here quickly, he didn't need to be introduced, Duan Jian knew in his mind that this person was Li Xiaoyi.

Looking at the casual clothes and the obvious incompatibility with the soldiers full of iron armor around him, I don't know why, Duan Jian felt uncomfortable for a while.

You must know that although Duan Jian is also a literati, as long as he is in the army, he is a military uniform, and it is this that allows him to quickly integrate into it and become a part of it.

Of course, after this thought flashed quickly in Duan Jian's mind, Duan Jian tidied up his clothes, and walked quickly towards Li Xiaoyi, shouting as he walked, "Duan Bufan, the subordinate head of Jiangnan Province, has seen the chief manager. ”

In addition to being the commander of these hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Xiaoyi also served as the highest official in this rebellion, so Duan Jian, the governor of Jiangnan Province, was also his rightful subordinate.

Standing there, Duan Jian didn't kneel down like the others, because when he was about to kneel, he was grabbed by Li Xiaoyi's arm and couldn't kneel.

"Okay, good, it's really a talent with both civil and military skills, no wonder it will be valued by the Queen Mother." Holding Duan Jian's arm, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but admire.

Looking at Li Xiaoyi, who was a little overly enthusiastic in front of him, although Duan Jian was full of doubts in his heart, he still endured it and said modestly, "The chief manager praised it falsely, his subordinates are young and not very mature in their work, so they have done many wrong things, and they should not be praised by the chief manager." ”

"Deserved, deserved, how can you not deserve it, just by virtue of your annihilation of Xu Jingye's more than 100,000 troops in the battle of Xijin Gudu, you deserve this praise, who dares to disagree, let him do this kind of big thing and boast again."

"Chief Administrator, do you want to invite Chief Manager Duan into the camp first?" Looking at Li Xiaoyi and Duan Jian, who had a good conversation as soon as they met, Wei Yuanzhong finally couldn't help but interject.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you look at a certain character, as soon as I see a young talent like Mr. Duan, I am a little out of shape, hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go inside and talk about it in the camp." Li Xiaoyi slapped his head and blamed himself with chagrin.

Along the way, Duan Jian was dealing with Li Xiaoyi's conversation, and at the same time looking around, it was not that he was afraid that someone would assassinate him, not to mention that he didn't have that kind of treatment, even if he did, it wouldn't happen here, you have to know what kind of place this is, this is the Tang Army camp, where hundreds of thousands of elite troops exist, and that assassin dares to risk the world to do something here.

After observation, Duan Jian found that although the soldiers of the Tang Army in the entire camp still looked lean, the momentum that leaked all the time was a little depressed, you must know that this is a very abnormal thing, the general army, especially the army that has seen blood and fought big battles, will have a killing aura, and this killing aura cannot be erased at will.

But now, Duan Jian did not see this kind of killing spirit in these soldiers, saying that these people were all recruits who had not been on the battlefield, Duan Jian did not believe it anyway, and the reason why this was the case, Duan Jian guessed that it may have something to do with several consecutive defeats, although the defeats were all small battles, and the losses of soldiers were insignificant compared to hundreds of thousands of troops, but these failed small battles still affected the morale of many soldiers.

After understanding this, Duan Jian also had some thoughts in his heart.

"There is no good wine in the army, Manager Duan also asks the general to use some white water, and after defeating the rebels, I will ask you and the best wine in Yangzhou City."

I have to say that although Li Xiaoyi doesn't know much about military affairs, he is extremely shrewd in human relations, which is obviously a very ordinary thing, but it makes people feel extremely comfortable in Li Xiaoyi's mouth.

"Hahaha, thank you for the kindness of the chief manager, in fact, it doesn't matter what you drink, if you can really drink the celebration wine in Yangzhou City, you will never refuse." Duan Jian is not an ordinary person, so he simply praised Li Xiaoyi.

"I don't know what kind of strategy Manager Duan can have to break the enemy."
