Chapter 773: Unconvinced
"Take me there!" Xue Ne's face was solemn, if it was really the enemy who came to touch the camp, then the situation would be serious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xue Ne and a group of generals followed Zhang Bao'er to the outside of the big tent, and sure enough, dozens of sacks were thrown on the ground, and the people in the sacks were still moving.
"Open!" Xenne ordered.
A sergeant had already stepped forward to open the sack, and sure enough, they were all dressed in black, they were all tied up with five flowers, and there were things stuffed in their mouths, and they couldn't speak. Xue Ne looked at these people, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, seeing that their faces didn't look like Khitan and Xi people, but like Central Plains people, what was going on.
Suddenly, Xue Ne saw a familiar face, and he was a little surprised: "Captain Liu? How could it be you? ”
Captain Liu is the captain under Li Sijing, and after thinking about Xue Ne, he figured out the reason. He turned his head to look at Li Sijing, but Li Sijing tried his best to avoid Xue Ne's gaze.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Netie's face was blue, and he stared at Li Sijing with a knife-like gaze.
Li Sijing just bowed his head and said nothing.
"Oh, it turned out to be General Lee's men!" Zhang Bao'er smiled and said to Xue Ne: "Xue Shuai, I really want to thank you!" ”
Xue Ne thought that Zhang Baoer was ridiculing him, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Mou is not strict in governing the army, so that Dingguo Gong will laugh, Xue will definitely give Dingguo Gong an explanation!" ”
Everyone saw that Xue Ne was really angry this time, and couldn't help but worry about Li Sijing.
Zhang Bao'er said strangely: "Xue Shuai, I really thank you, what did you explain to me?" ”
Xue Ne saw that Zhang Bao'er was not joking, and was a little confused: "What are you thanking me for?" ”
Zhang Bao'er said with a straight face: "Xue Shuai knows that the Luzhou regimental training has just been formed, and he lacks experience in big wars, so he is afraid that we will neglect our precautions at night, so he specially sent someone to test one or two, in order to let us understand that we must not relax our vigilance no matter when and where." Xue Shuai is so well-intentioned, how can I not thank you? ”
"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they were all stupid. This Dingguo Gong can really break blindly, even a fool can see the catty in this, but he pretends not to know.
Xue Ne was also confused by Zhang Bao'er's words, he didn't know what Zhang Bao'er meant, and was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Bao'er squeezing his eyes at him and said: "Xue Shuai, I understand your kindness, and now that the war is coming, let me thank you later." Didn't you send someone to call me to discuss the military situation, or the business is important! ”
This time, Xue Ne understood that Zhang Baoer was hinting at herself, she was going to fight, let herself control her emotions, and don't lose a big one because of a small one. Li Sijing's men and horses accounted for half of all the people this time, and if he was disposed of, it would have a great impact on morale. Since Zhang Baoer gave herself a step, she had no choice but to take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this, Xue Ne gritted his teeth and took Zhang Bao'er's words, and said with a pun: "It's rare that Dingguo Gong understands Xue Ne so much, Xue Mou has thanked him here!" ”
Hearing Xue Ne say this, Li Sijing's heart hanging in mid-air finally let go, and he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his face.
Xue Ne glared at Li Sijing, then turned his head to look at the people on the ground, and coldly ordered, "Pull them down!" ”
"Yes!" A sergeant had already arrived.
"Thirty sticks per person!" Xue Ne added hatefully.
After that, he turned around and entered the Chinese army tent without looking back.
After everyone sat down again, Xue Ne began to lecture everyone: "Everyone, it has been nearly twenty years since Yingzhou broke away from my Datang, and this is a shame for our soldiers. In the battle of East Kip Stone that year, Ben Shuai can still remember the tragic situation of that year! ”
What Xue Ne said, everyone knows that this is not only a shame for their soldiers, but also a shame for the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Ne raised his head, looked at the generals and said, "Now, Your Majesty is eloquent and has decided to crusade against the Khitan Xi people and re-set the Yingzhou. We are entrusted by His Majesty, dare not swear to the death, fight on the battlefield, and go straight to the chief's den? ”
Xue Ne's words made the crowd emotional, and they all expressed their demands to ask for war, only Cui Xuandao secretly frowned.
Cui Xuandao was not optimistic about this crusade from the beginning, and he dissuaded Xue Ne many times, and Xue Ne knew this.
Xue Ne looked around at everyone and found that in addition to Cui Xuandao, there was another person who never said a word, and this person was none other than Zhang Baoer.
Zhang Baoer was playing with the folding fan in her hand at the moment, thinking about something, and turned a blind eye to everyone's excitement.
Cui Xuandao's opinion Xue Ne can be ignored, but Zhang Baoer can't get around, not to mention that Xue Ne didn't plan to bypass Zhang Bao'er, not only that, he really wants to hear Zhang Bao'er's opinion.
Thinking of this, Xue Ne waved his hand to stop the uproar of everyone.
"Dingguo Gong, I don't know what you think?" Xue Ne asked.
There was a sudden silence in the big tent, which seemed to make Zhang Bao'er wake up, he saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but be a little strange, he looked at Xue Ne: "Xue Shuai, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xue Ne said: "It's nothing, everyone just wants to hear what Dingguo Gong thinks about this expedition." ”
"Ask me?" Zhang Baoer pointed to herself.
"Exactly!"
Zhang Bao'er smiled and said: "It's very simple, my opinion is only four words!" ”
"I don't know what those four words are?"
"Must ...... Fail...... Not...... Doubt! ”
Zhang Bao'er said the four words slowly, which made everyone present shocked.
"Dingguo Gong, what do you mean by this?" Xue Ne's face also changed color.
"Xue Shuai really wants to know?" Zhang Baoer asked.
"Dingguo Gong, please speak!"
"First of all, don't take advantage of the time. Now is the hottest time of the year, and most of our troops are infantry, and marching in such weather is extremely physically exhausting. And the opponent is all cavalry, and it is extremely mobile. If we suddenly encounter each other, the result can be imagined! ”
Zhang Baoer said the truth, and everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard it.
"Secondly, it does not occupy profits. The place where we fought with the Khitans was in Yingzhou, which had been under the control of the Khitans for nearly 20 years, and the road from Danzhou to Yingzhou was more than 400 miles, and they were far more familiar with the terrain than we did, and they could attack us anywhere, and we could only be beaten passively. Even if we tighten our vigilance, there will always be omissions, and in this kind of intentional and unintentional situation, how can we not be defeated? ”
Zhang Baoer's words cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
"Third, don't occupy people! Although the Metropolitan Governor had 60,000 soldiers and horses, they were all temporarily put together, including the soldiers of the various prefectures, whose training was poor, their combat effectiveness was low, and they rarely coordinated together, and it was difficult to unify their commands, which was very different from the Khitans, who were mainly tribal. ”
Li Sijing was unconvinced and said: "That's not necessarily, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has always used government soldiers, and its achievements are brilliant, and it is not as weak as Dingguo Gong said!" ”
