Chapter 223: The pursuers hesitated
Li Longji's plan was to send troops over to fight a surprise attack first, and then burn a part of the grain that could be harvested in the autumn.
It is good to take advantage of the fact that Zhangjia's set of patterns can be popularized in Datang, and there are also methods for hatching chicks and thermometers, at this moment, a lot of grain can be produced next year, and this autumn when Tubo will retaliate and come back to attack, at that time, the grain in many places in Datang will also be harvested, and there is no need to be afraid of running out of food to fight.
In the way of fighting a big war, let the people of Datang work hard to support the border, and the way to support is to learn to raise and breed as much as possible, use war to drive what is called domestic demand, and promote the development of productive forces.
Li Longji learned this from Bi Gong's letter, and he felt that if he could succeed, he would be able to train and train soldiers, and wait for another two years after the Tang Dynasty had more grain, poultry, and livestock, and then use troops abroad to expand its territory.
But I didn't expect Guo Tu, who usually seems to be very smart and capable, to make such an idiotic mistake, yes, it's an idiot, if you make a mistake, you will die there, and Xiaobao and Juan Juan rushed out.
Xiaobao and Juan Juan are the two disciples of the Zhang family who have not shown up behind their backs to support the masters, and it is said that now the two little guys can also pass the Jinshi examination by relying on the imperial examination, how capable is this?
If the master doesn't want to come out, then don't come out, can't the two little guys learn their skills? The two little ones can't hide and show their faces anymore, can they? Whether it's for your own use, or for your children and grandchildren, it's good.
Now that the two babies are out of the customs and go out with more than 300 people who can fight, can they come back alive? In case of real misfortune, where to find two such people? The masters of the Zhang family don't know how many years they can live.
What's more, the four later babies of the Zhang family are indeed stronger than ordinary people, but they are far inferior to Xiaobao and Juan Juan.
The more Li Longji thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, the more angry he becomes, he also used the Zhang family to finish things in Yizhou this time, and took advantage of the time to meet Xiaobao and Juan Juan when he returned to Beijing, now it's okay, life and death are divided, if it is possible, he really wants to bite Guo Tu to death, and let the two children of the family bear the trouble you caused yourself.
Of course, at this time, Li Longji didn't want to mention it or think that it was he who sent it out in advance, and the will to give Zhang Zhongzhan credit promoted this matter behind the scenes.
I only hope that Xiaobao and Juan Juan, the two future talents, will come back safely, and at that time, a will will be passed on immediately, let Zhang Zhong take care of the two babies, don't run anywhere, did you Zhang Zhong take care of something happened? Xiaobao and Juan Juan are not your own, and they are still waiting for them to grow up and do more things like masters.
"Lux, go and call Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, and everyone who can discuss things, and see if there is anything to think of."
Li Longji didn't have the interest in letting the concubines dance to help the fun, and asked Gao Lishi to call someone to discuss.
Gao Lishi left in a hurry, he was worried about Xiaobao and Juanjuan, and he was ready to find an opportunity to recognize a godson and a daughter or a son-in-law, or a godson and a daughter-in-law, but he wanted to recognize a kiss, and also took the time to enjoy the food cooked by the two babies, and took the two babies to the royal garden for a stroll.
Where did Guo Tu know that he had been hated, and he was still a very good kind of person, and continued to analyze what the logistics battalion wanted to do with the generals who were under house arrest together.
"It's too much, it's too much, arresting us and others, and not even telling me the purpose of waiting, you all think about it, lest someone really escape back and someone asks if it's okay to answer correctly, and this meal is eaten by people?"
Guo Tu ate the wild vegetable soup that did not have any meat stars, and complained dissatisfiedly, if he hadn't made such a big mistake this time and put the army in danger, he might continue to praise the logistics battalion.
But his psychological quality does not seem to be high enough, he has encountered setbacks, his spirit has become trance, not to mention, he still tries his best to push the responsibility from himself to others, and the inferior roots in the multifaceted nature of human nature are undoubtedly revealed, especially when he is under house arrest and does not know the purpose of the logistics battalion.
He actually wanted to get involved, even if he occasionally said a word and reminded him, but people didn't give him this opportunity at all, and in the face of the fear of the unknown, he finally broke out.
The other generals didn't say anything, and they didn't complain about the bad food, the current situation, it's very good if you stutter, usually when you seize power, it's not just house arrest, it's too common to kill a few people, even if you kill yourself and others, just make an excuse, with the help of the former prime minister and the former head of the household, you can't do anything about the two babies.
Seeing that his words were not supported by everyone, Guo Tu hurriedly ate the wild vegetables and stared back and forth at the generals.
Joining the army finally couldn't stand being stared at like this, sighed, and said: "General, I think it is really possible to successfully escape back, since I and the others who follow me can't understand it, can the people in Tubo guess the intention of the army?" Eat, it looks like they're going to make a big move. ”
As if to cooperate with the army, early the next morning, Wang Juan's new order was conveyed, ten battalions near the mountain, all the food raised to the ten battalions, the remaining two battalions and the hundreds of people who came back later continued to move forward, three days before going down the mountain, there was someone to answer.
Along the way, it is necessary to reduce the number of camp stoves, burn them every three hours, from 70,000 to 60,000, and then to 50,000, and after two days, restore the number of camp stoves for 2,000 people.
After descending the mountain in front, obey the command of the people there, and another point is that when the ten battalions continue to go up, they use flammable materials to cause thick smoke below, hinder the Tibetan pursuers, and erase the traces.
After the order was given, Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao set off with ten battalions, and Guo Tu and the others continued to take them, otherwise it would be easy for them to take back the power by handing over the two battalions.
"Do you want to live anymore, do you know how cold it is in the mountains? All the food added up is only enough for two days, and 10,000 people have been harmed by you. ”
When Guo Tu was watched to climb the mountain, he knew that he was preparing to go higher, and kept shouting, based on what he had learned, he had already made a conclusion about the future of the team.
Watching their guards sink their faces, they kicked Guo Tu in the back and said, "Be honest, what are you shouting?" Call to chop you again, and see how many people are willing to offend the king of Tong'an for a failed general. ”
"King of Tong'an? Plum...... King Lee? What does he have to do with you? Guo Tu asked in surprise, not daring to call Li Xun's name.
"I am the personal guard of His Royal Highness the King of the County, His Royal Highness the King of the County is a guest in Yizhou, and I call Xiaobao Gongzi his brother, what do you say?"
Li Xun's guard replied dissatisfiedly.
Guo Tu was silent, and the generals were also dumb, they only now realized how big a backer the two babies were, they and others were killed, and people went back to find an excuse casually, and no one shouted injustice to them.
After a long while, Guo Tucai whispered to the guard again: "Xiaobao, their actions are wrong, you are not afraid of ......"
"What could be more wrong than you? Shut up. The guards didn't give a good face at all, they knew the skills of the little boy and the little lady, they had seen it when they were in Luzhou, and then they went to Shuzhou, and then to Pengzhou, they learned all the way with the two of them.
A lot of tactical ideas they never thought of before meeting the little boy and the little lady, the analysis of human nature and terrain in various situations, is very in place, this is not finished, it seems that there is more knowledge in the back.
Would such a person make an unwise decision?
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took ten battalions of more than 10,000 people up the mountain, the two battalions left below began to ignite, and the billowing smoke drifted behind the wind, that is, today's wind direction is like this, Wang Juan made a decision, otherwise he had to continue to wait.
As soon as the smoke was gone, the two battalions cleaned up all traces as much as possible, and began to march forward in a hurry, and after three days they could go down the hill to see if there were any answers.
The people of Tibet were about to catch up, but they had to slow down, and their generals were also afraid of being ambushed, so they first observed from the camp stove, increasing day by day, making people wonder what it meant, could it be that reinforcements came? That should be a fight with itself.
Just increase the camp without fighting, do you want to fight an ambush? Don't be afraid, just be careful, within your own territory, deploy troops quickly.
When the question is why, judging from the traces left by the footsteps, the number of people is always not fixed, suddenly more, suddenly less, sometimes more than 10,000 people, sometimes more than 1,000 people, and sometimes more than 6,000 people, what do people do when they are few?
Did reinforcements come and follow them for a while and then hid, or did the people in the team do something? Increase the number of people who change from the stove, there must be ghosts among them, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, chasing or not chasing, waiting for the people behind, hiss~! It's not easy.
Tata Natu is the head of the 10,000 households in the headquarters, and this time he led 20,000 people over, in exchange for the previous words, he can still have more people, and there are people from Tuguhun to help, but now that he is gone, he can only use the people of the headquarters to fight.
He thinks he is a capable general, literate, and has read so many military books, and usually guards the front line of Jinchuan with the people of his headquarters and team, and feels that he knows a lot about the things of war, especially all kinds of strategies, and he has memorized them.
As soon as I saw the situation in front of me, what I thought of was the four words that the soldiers did not tire of deception, the so-called real is false, and the virtual is real, but now I can't see whether the other party wants to be false or real, if you want to use the reduction of the stove to lure the enemy, then you should not make so many camp stoves, if you want to increase the stove to scare the enemy, then you should not leave traces of walking.
Judging from the traces of this footstep, how can it be counted as more than 10,000 people, or even even fewer sometimes, and when there are fewer people, the number of stoves increases? Do you think you can't see it, or do you do it on purpose to show yourself?
Trouble, I heard the spies who went deep into Pengzhou say that the leading general who came over this time was a man named Guo Tu, who had never heard such a name before, could it be that he was a wise general of the Tang Dynasty?
At this moment, there are only 5,000 people chasing in front of the headquarters, should you hurry up and chase it, or be careful and chase it slowly? Will the scouts go around probing and keep a distance, or will they just rush forward without caring about anything?
What exactly does Guo Tu mean?
