Chapter Seventy-Six: The Trial

Li Wei didn't know about what happened to Taishan until much later. But everything was expected by him, as long as he didn't kill his henchmen one by one.

At this time, he was heading for the sea of Yibohai.

Originally, there was no need to do this, but if you don't free up your throat, you can't free up the space near Broken Leaf City, and if you don't have space, there is no way to immigrate from Tuntian. Otherwise, like the original Tang Dynasty, the three counties of Tingzhou, Puzi, Jinman, and Luntai were forcibly moved into the Han people, and continued to cause disputes. The latter is obviously not what Li Wei wants, and God has sent a great opportunity.

But Li Wei didn't expect the timing of his visit this time.

From the pharyngeal noodles to the river, to Khorasan to the distant Great Eclipse, the Mediterranean, a series of events have occurred, and these events are finally like pearls, just waiting for someone with a heart to connect them and string them together into a beautiful halo.

First of all, he was given another chance.

Knowing that the Tang Emperor was going to dismember their tribe, many of them were about to flee.

At this time, the son of a small clan chief, Ashina Quier, followed Ashina Chebo to rebel, and had been arrested by Wang Fangyi and escorted to Chang'an. But because of his low position, he escaped, and when he saw the depressed and pessimistic clansmen, he took the initiative to stand up and said, where to escape? The surrounding environment of Ashina pharyngeal noodles is very good, such as the Turkish tribe, and then the Hulu house department and the Sheti department, all of which are Turkic. Either to the west, the Isabe did not intersect with them. As for the countries in the south of the river, the friendship is eternal. But can you escape to the south? Can these small countries in the river withstand the pressure of the Tang Dynasty's army? Do you want to flee to the Great Food?

Or flee north, and these tribes are easy to provoke? Then there is to flee to the northwest, there are still some barbaric original people in the northwest, and the weather is cold and the climate is harsh. How many people will survive this escape? Moreover, the Tang Dynasty army was all light cavalry, this is nonsense, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also all the departments on the grassland were light cavalry, and there was one who used heavy cavalry. But Li Wei brought all the cavalry, and if the tribe fled, he couldn't escape on horseback, and he had to bring cattle, sheep, tents, and vehicles, and he would inevitably be caught up.

Ashina Yuer is not very old, only eighteen years old. But the children on the grassland are in charge early, and Murong Chui and Tuoba Jue are both famous in the world when they are teenagers. Guan Jian: He was right. Taking the initiative to wait for dismemberment, there may be fewer deaths, and the big deal is that the pharyngeal face clan will disappear in the long river of history. If they escape, they will still be dismembered, but in that case, there will not be many people left in this part.

Then they cried out loud one by one.

Ashina Qiuer said again: "What are you crying about, have we lost our throats?" ”

So this kid didn't die, and wrote a letter to Li Wei, saying that you Tang Dynasty people are known as invincible and invincible in the world. Let's take a look at how you fought, the first battle was a deceptive war, and our khan was captured alive under the guise of Youqi. In the second battle, he didn't have many troops, but he borrowed our Turkic iron cavalry and defeated us. We are not convinced. You also brought a lot of Tang Dynasty troops, and there is a kind of we fighting head-on. If we lose like this, we will obey your Tang Dynasty to dismember us.

I wonder where this kid's faith comes from? It is possible that the sky is high and the earth is thick, it is possible to take into account the Tang Dynasty's restraint policy, and treat the rebel head very generously, but after the defeat, he was escorted to Chang'an by the Tang Dynasty, since he was reunited with Lao Tzu, he could enjoy the glory and wealth.

Since you are not convinced, then let's fight.

After Li Wei received this letter, he almost smiled from ear to ear, he himself wanted to fight, but he was afraid that the various departments were disgusted, and he didn't expect the opportunity to be sent to the door. Immediately replied with a letter, saying, Okay, agree with you, ten days later, the north of the Erie River, the two armies will be decided. Fight head-to-head, decide the winner in a battle.

Then the various generals were summoned.

Many people think that Li Wei is making a big fuss, although their number is small, they are almost the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty, and the famous generals are like clouds, just a small swallow.

Li Wei said a serious sentence: "In dealing with a powerful enemy, we must despise it mentally, attach importance to it psychologically, strive to find its weak points, and defeat it with fewer victories." But we can't be careless about the weak army, how many battles have been overturned by the weak over the strong? Even if it is weak, it must be wiped out quickly like a tiger pounces on a rabbit and an eagle binds a chicken. If you take it lightly, the previous results of Wang Duhu may evolve into future results. ”

It's a good mentality. If you are someone else, you will be careless. Not to mention Li Wei's military growth, he also has two brave generals in his hands, Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi. Among the younger generations, Xue Ne, Guo Yuanzhen, Xin Chengsi and Xi Fenglei, four young generals, have also passed the test of war. In addition, Qinghai also transferred Jiang Sijin, Liu Dezheng, He Changqi, and Tuoba Po and Yeci Mingyue's elder brother Yeci Mingchuan to come over and fight well.

Either a few people brought from the military affairs superintendent, Zhang Renyuan and Wang Hui both satisfied Pei Xingjian, who was harsh in employing people, and his qualifications were not bad. There are several other people, Zhu Qiong, Huang Lu, Lin Shoudao, and two others who are a little big. A man named Zheng Qingze, not only a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but also his grandfather Zheng Guang was Li Shimin's confidant, and later begged Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, etc., and participated in the Xuanwumen Change. The official went to Liangzhou Thorn History, Shangzhu State, and Tong'an County Founding Father. When Zheng Guang was alive, he once talked with Zheng Qingze about some tactics of war. Of course, he is the kind of pet who loves to play, and he was not expected to lead the troops into battle one day. Later, the Zheng family wanted to show goodwill, so they took a gamble, not only sent a large number of disciples to enter the Guozijian, but also participated in the imperial examination, and won seven jinshi in the two imperial examinations. This is not counted, and a few more disciples were sent into the military affairs prison. As a result, another person also entered the military superintendent.

Zheng Jiadong, several other families were more or less unable to hold their breath, and sent some people to participate in the imperial examination, including the martial arts. Li Pingyang is a disciple of the Li family in Zhaozhou.

But I brought them here because of their qualifications, and it has nothing to do with their family background.

But the first batch of powerful disciples who entered the selection made Li Wei very disappointed. Including the descendants of Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chi Jingde and others. This is also caused by the policy of the Tang Dynasty, after becoming famous, the Tang Dynasty turned from chaos to rule, using more civil servants, plus afraid that Li Shimin would be jealous, and took the initiative to let the descendants of the family change to military and civilian. As a result, these families gradually declined, and many children and grandchildren continued to be officials, but there were almost no famous generals. This is again different from the romance commentary.

I also brought some people over, but they were not the first key objects of investigation and training. Sandwiched among the 5,000 soldiers, not only them, but at least 1,000 of these 5,000 soldiers are all sons of powerful people, and they may have come to fight, and the most important thing is the mixed military merits. In this regard, Li Wei is also helpless, and can only say that he tries to select the best from it and take into account the interests of all parties.

But there have also been disagreements with these people.

Such qualifications still can't get into Pei Xingjian's eyes, including Zhang Zhiyuan. Liu Renliang said a fair word, which is good, don't ask others for your requirements. Li Wei stood on the side and laughed.

Pei Xingjian's requirements do not necessarily require generals to be able to fight and kill, and weak scholars can do it, but the IQ must be high, to what extent, at least more than 15 hundred. In this way, you can grasp a huge amount of information and defeat your opponents calmly and easily. I'm not a good candidate myself.

But Li Wei is also good, not how high his IQ is. But there are some advantages, the first is status, he is the crown prince and the emperor, that is, if he goes to the army, the impact on morale can reach 100,000 troops. It's not that the emperor can play this role, Song Zhenzong played a role in the city of Lanzhou, and the three armies shouted long live. But what about Zhu Qizhen? but he became a captive of others. Even if the emperor doesn't understand military affairs, it doesn't matter, you have to choose the right person. One Kou Zhun and one Wang Zhen are already doomed.

Li Wei not only uses people better than Zhu Qizhen, but also understands some military affairs, and has a good personality, shares weal and woe with the soldiers, rewards and punishments are clear, and can even go into battle in person and release cold arrows. Far more important than Song Zhenzong.

Speaking of command ability, from the Nanzhao War to Qinghai, it was not a battle or two, which gave him a lot of knowledge of actual combat, and was carefully taught by Pei Xingjian. His military accomplishments have not weakened year by year, but have been increasing. can't catch up with Pei Xingjian, but he can also be a qualified general.

The experience was precious.

In addition, some knowledge of later generations, such as the invention of some instruments, and seeing the Yuanmeng army, even Pei Xingjian clearly realized the power and role of scouts. His own position makes him far-sighted, not only to see a battle situation, but also to see a strategy. For several years, under the pressure of his mother, his head has been constantly moving, and sometimes he can even bring the art of scheming to the military. These advantages further compensated for his military accomplishments.

Therefore, in Pei Xingjian's heart, he is regarded as most of the qualified students, even far above Zhang Zhiyuan.

That's not quite right.

Everyone has their own routines, for example, Pei Xingjian's style is not suitable for Heiya Changzhi and Xue Rengui, nor is it suitable for Wang Hui, but Zhang Zhiyuan slightly satisfied Pei Xingjian. But in other words, it is possible that only Wang Fangyi in the entire Tang Dynasty can make Pei Xingjian slightly satisfied, and even after arriving in the Western Regions, Pei Xingjian had a heart-to-heart talk with him, talked for two nights, and taught some skills in the middle. There will be no chance to cross paths in the future.

The generals sat down.

Li Wei said: "It is not difficult to defeat the enemy. ”

This sentence made the generals think it was true, this is right, Li Wei swept over everyone's faces, and the few people brought from the military superintendent were practiced, and they listened silently, Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi did not need to prove it. But the other people looked disapplieving, which made Li Wei a little worried.

Still haven't grown up.

The great man once said that strategically it is necessary to despise the enemy, but tactically it is not to despise the enemy. That is, to maintain a posture of confidence and to maintain a humble mind when formulating tactics. This is the only way to achieve a generation of famous marshals. Pei Xingjian also said a similar problem. These generals can't be used very much. It's just that the two performed slightly better, Xue Ne and Guo Yuanzhen. Guo Yuanzhen's personality is like this, and he has always been very quiet. Xue Ne has changed slightly, and I don't know if it is because of the impact of the Zhang Qianqiao incident, or because of his progress. In short, the expressions on the faces of the two remained very cautious.

Putting aside this thought for a moment, he continued: "But in this battle, I want to test the tactics of the army against the cavalry. ”

Most of the generals disagreed with the previous words, and this sentence immediately caused a lot of discussion.

The troops of the Tang Dynasty themselves were mostly infantry, sandwiched by various phalanxes in fierce battles, supplemented by cavalry, to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. Either the most ferocious infantry class is the Mosaberman. It can't be said that the infantry is not good, the wars in the early days of the Tang Dynasty were mostly infantry. But the repeated victories were of the light cavalry. After Li Wei arrived in Qinghai, he vigorously developed cavalry.

Compared with cavalry, infantry finally lacks speed and mobility, and its own war horses can produce a huge impact force. There have been many times in history when infantry outperformed cavalry, but overall, cavalry certainly outperformed infantry. Therefore, after Li Wei arrived in Qinghai, he began to train riding skills along with the Mo Dao soldiers. It's not about anything else, it's about speed.

This time, Li Wei came to the Western Regions, and all of them were elite troops, and all of them were light cavalry. But I did some targeted training along the way, and the intention was a little unbelievable, and I never said it. The generals also did not pay attention, thinking that this was only a preventive training to prevent how to deal with the enemy's cavalry in the event of losing their horses. However, when it was not necessary, he gave up his strengths and changed to infantry against the enemy, which finally caused some controversy.

Li Wei ignored their reactions and continued: "The pharyngeal face is just a small test, are you afraid? ”

One sentence suddenly made the generals proud.

Although he gave up his strengths, the generals were not very satisfied, but what kind of opponent was it? To put it mildly, there is no doubt that adults beat children, do you still need any tricks?

The Tang Dynasty engaged in a gentleman's war with the pharyngeal face, which attracted the attention of various ministries. Reactions were mixed, with some tribes not openly supporting Pharyngeal Noodles, so they secretly supported weapons and armor. In the middle, the Wulu Department is the main part. The scouts also sent news in a steady stream, and Li Wei recorded it and did not immediately send anyone to investigate.

There are also some tribes, such as the Chuyue Division, the Shatuo Division, the Moheda Cadres, the Dumo Branch, and the Chumi Division, these tribes sent people over again and took the initiative to ask if the Tang military needs support. Li Wei politely refused these tribes, but invited them to come and watch the battle.

Another letter was written, and the pharyngeal face rebelled again. It was this letter that Li Zhi received, but it was not as serious as what was written in the letter, it was only used as a military training, and it was to find a reason for himself to stay in the Western Regions, and by the way, he left Wang Fangyi behind.

In mid-July, this far-reaching battle of gentlemen finally began on the north bank of the Erie River.
