Chapter 497: This Force Me to Pretend
In fact, outside of the Tang Army, because of Shi Lei's reputation, there have also been some changes, and those members of the party and the Qiang people who have taken refuge have strengthened their determination to follow the Tang Dynasty to the black. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Datang has a general like Shi Lei, and it is obvious that the chances of defeating Tuyuhun are much greater, and they will naturally have a chance to get a piece of the pie.
After all, it is impossible for the power of the Tang Dynasty to stay in Tuyuhun's hometown forever, and in the end, it is up to them, the locals, to help suppress the inherent power of Tuyuhun, which will definitely give them more living space and the best opportunity for them to further develop and grow.
And the price of betrayal is not something they can bear, if Shi Lei is allowed to perform these tortures on them one by one, it is better to let them die happily, they definitely don't want to be enemies of such a ruthless person, especially when this ruthless person is really powerful, he has become a real hero that they are quite in awe.
How else to say that these nomadic people are often afraid of power and not virtuous, but they can be like Shi Lei and the Qi He Li in their team, who have really always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and know how to be grateful and loyal, after all, there are still a few.
Shi Lei no longer knew what the army thought of him, and took advantage of the few days of short rest in the barracks to get close to Shi Luo's little guy. Being able to save such a small life under such conditions is definitely destiny, so for this godson, Shi Lei really likes it a little.
But the army is about to set off deep into the hinterland of Tuyuhun, and the follow-up will inevitably have to run long distances, and it is difficult to say that it will be fought for thousands of miles, how can there be a really safe place in the army, and besides, with such a small guy, it is not appropriate to say anything, so Shi Lei still decided to arrange some guards to bring this God-given son home first, and give him a better environment.
Along the way, there are mare's milk and milk to drink, I don't want to starve this little guy, the selected guards are all careful and thoughtful, and they are all fathers, somewhat experienced, and when they return to the state capital in the rear, hire a nurse to take care of the little one, and then transfer to a carriage to send back to Chang'an, it is much more comfortable than following them and bumping on horseback all the time.
After arranging the whereabouts of the little guy, Shi Lei can deal with the envoys in the army wholeheartedly. As early as the first time he came back, Shi Lei had already reported all the information at hand to several bigwigs. The specific marching plan still needs to be formulated by their smart guys, and Shi Lei, who only has muscles but not brains, does not need to be involved.
After receiving the military report sent by Shi Lei, Li Daozong's army had already set off and went straight to Tuyuhun's vanguard, probably with the goal of first frustrating the enemy's spirit.
As a result, the army was too successful along the way, not only dampening the enemy's spirit, but also losing Fu Yun's courage by the way. There aren't many enemies that you actually kill in a battle, but there are a lot of enemies that scare you away.
Fu Yun's rabbit guy shrank his eggs again, simply burned a large area of grassland, and took the main force of his subordinates to go to the desert to nest. is counting on using this harsh environment to grind Tang Jun away, to see who has more patience.
The last time he dealt with Duan Zhixuan's steady guy, he used this trick, and he really achieved the purpose of preserving his strength, but this time Datang mobilized so many troops, it was impossible to just come and scare him and finish it.
He thought that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were too child's play, and they didn't just come to show their attitude, but they took a fancy to the huge interests represented behind Tuyuhun.
In addition to the coveted strategic materials of Qinghai Cong, their territory is also close to the Silk Road, the economic lifeline of Datang, which is related to the safety of Datang's entire foreign trade route.
Let him be such a dishonest guy, and then have a chance to continue to jump, wouldn't it hurt one of the fundamentals of Datang, this is something that Datang absolutely cannot allow.
Although from the moment Li Jing was activated, he, the generalissimo, must have understood Li Shimin's true intentions in his heart, but he would definitely not use him, the military god of Zhishi, to threaten him, but he can't say it directly, and he must take into account the wishes of his sergeants.
With such a feat, he will only tremble even more, but without another effort to destroy the country, he may be able to save a little. And being hated by a large group of heavyweight subordinates is obviously not too easy, even if it is a headache for him.
So if everyone really objected to continuing to go deeper into the hinterland of Tuyuhun, maybe he wouldn't insist on it. However, if there are one or two heavyweight guys who open their mouths to support the pursuit, he will not politely accept it.
Therefore, on the question of whether to chase or not, Li Jing made a special trip to call all the generals who were weighty over, and everyone held a meeting to discuss it.
As soon as Li Jing's words fell, the generals over there shouted and said everything, but most of them were against going deeper.
It's just that coming to the current realm, the harsh environment of Tuyuhun has already taught all the generals a good lesson. Moreover, the destruction of the grassland is really a blessing and a curse for the Tang army, which is also dominated by cavalry, and no one can say what the future battle will be, but the risk is really not small.
They don't know enough about the local geography and situation, and it's hard to say what the local tribesmen are about in the current situation.
And if he stops at the current stage, Fu Yun has indeed been beaten away, Li Shimin has anger, and it is impossible to attack everyone, so for the generals below, it is the safest, and they are naturally inclined to withdraw their troops now and not go to the desert to endure hardship.
Shi Lei knows the general process of the follow-up, at least Datang won a few games and killed Fu Yun, he knows the general direction, but he can't remember the small details clearly, so he really wants to say this before Hou Junji, a figure who is also in the picture, force me to pretend!
But just when Shi Lei was about to take a step forward, Xue Wanjun, one of the Xue brothers next to him, pulled Shi Lei along.
"Don't show this face, aren't you afraid that these people around you will make a note for you?" Xue Wanjun whispered to Shi Lei, and returned to his previous appearance, pretending to be talking to others, but in fact, he was just paddling.
Hey, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. The Xue brothers seem to be just simple generals who have no brains, but their vision is not bad.
got his suggestion, and Shi Lei smashed it to come out with this taste. That's the case, if he spoke out at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending these colleagues.
He doesn't seem to have reached the ideological realm of dying for the revolutionary cause of the Tang Dynasty. There are also a high who want to fight for this burden, we are weak, so let's not do this, let's not do it, I just don't want to hate myself.
If you do your job as a pioneer officer, you won't be able to run away from yourself, and there is no need to show off that you have brains.
That Hou Junji's popularity was so bad later, and there were not many people who really followed him in the military system, probably because he was too clever in this organ, and he mistook Qingqing's life. It seems that sometimes it's not a bad thing to pretend to be stupid appropriately, Shi Lei has learned another trick.
After understanding, Shi Lei simply turned his face, came to the Xue brothers, and began to talk lively, but what he said seemed to have little to do with the current matter.
"Will you be relieved later?"
"It's necessary, there's a lot of soju and a lot of delicious food around your kid, so I'll go to you."
"Okay, all kinds of dried meat are full, just a pot of wine, even if you drink it, you have to rinse your mouth."
"Then it's decided, my prey that still has a little filial piety for his subordinates, just take care of it by your kid, and I'll carry it together."
"Come on, I can't run the taste in my tent, don't let people know when I eat and wipe it clean."
"Okay." "Okay."
