At the same time as the Dugu Ruoxue case was tried, Li Xian's army was also all the way north, and the Khitan rule along the road could almost be described as falling apart, and the local people rose up one after another to fight with the Tang army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now our army is like a bamboo, it can be said that it is a success, and there is praise between the government and the opposition, and now we are not far from the Khitan's nest Yingzhou, the last general suggested that our army should be a blow and continue to lead the army to attack the Khitan nest, so as to end this war as soon as possible."

At the military meeting convened by Li Xian, Vice Marshal Guo Yuanzhen seriously analyzed the current situation and suggested to Li Xian.

This time, the generals did not have any objections, and they all unanimously agreed with Guo Yuanzhen's opinion.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the Khitan general Li Quanzhong has been killed, and the territory of my Tang Dynasty that they have occupied is about to spit out, as long as we wave our troops to the east and take the Khitan by surprise, I believe that we will soon be able to attack Yingzhou, and fight with General Xue on the back and back to eliminate Sun Wanrong, a traitor.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't hesitate, give the order, now the morale of our army is shocked, and the morale of the Khitan thieves is low, it is the time to use the army."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that the weather is getting cooler, it is the time to use soldiers, as long as my Tang Heavenly Soldiers advance, I will definitely be able to quickly eliminate Sun Wanrong's traitor just like Tang Woxue."

……

All the generals under his command enthusiastically asked for battle, which made Li Xian also feel very happy, but Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, now our army's grain and grass are a little lacking, and when the grain and grass arrive in a few days, the palace will order the army to advance." ”

"But the nearest grain and grass also needs at least half a month, when our army sets off again, it is estimated that the main force of Sun Wanrong's army will be able to reach Jizhou and repair the defense, so that we must first conquer Jizhou, and then continue to attack Pingzhou in the east, and then go north to attack Yingzhou, so how much effort will it take? If you come to the city of Yingzhou in one go, besiege Sun Wanrong's army, and then eliminate those reinforcements, I believe that the Khitan thieves will be pacified in less than half a year. After listening to Li Xian's words, Yang Siqiao couldn't help but retort.

But seeing Li Xian said with a smile: "Si Miao, your thinking is good, according to your way of thinking, it is estimated that we will need half a year to completely sweep away the Khitan rebellion, but this palace is still too long, if it is according to my plan, I can let our army be able to make Sun Wanrong the head in a month at most." ”

"What? One month? ”

"This, that's too much, isn't it?"

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has planned? Can you eliminate Sun Wanrong within a month? ”

All the generals under his command were talking, but only Wang Hui was silent.

Li Xian naturally saw this scene, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

I saw Wang Hui clasping his fists and saluting: "His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the end of the future, if you want to put down the Khitan rebellion within a month, then there is only one way to force the Khitan thieves to fight a decisive battle with me, as long as we can completely annihilate the enemy army in the decisive battle, we will definitely be able to quickly quell the rebellion." ”

"Forcing the enemy to a decisive battle?" Everyone felt inexplicable after hearing this, but they all saw Li Xian smiling and nodding, affirming Wang Hui's idea, and even more puzzled, because everyone knew that the Khitan had few soldiers and could only defend with danger, how could they take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army?

At this time, Guo Yuanzhen nodded, and then said loudly: "I understand, if you want to force the enemy to fight a decisive battle with me, there is only one way, and that is to attack the enemy and save it!" Haha, Brother Wang Hui really deserves to be a military wizard, and he was able to understand the intentions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in one fell swoop, and admired him. ”

"Attack the enemy and save it? But the whole Pingzhou is so big, where is the Khitan place that must be saved? Liu Youqiu's strategic thinking was a little worse than Guo Yuanzhen's, and after listening to Guo Yuanzhen's words, he was also at a loss, and couldn't help but look at Li Xian, hoping that Li Xian could give him an explanation.

Li Xian was silent with a smile, and said with a faint smile: "You will know when the time comes, you should be calm and restless, I believe that my choice will be right." ”

"This ......" Although the generals had doubts in their hearts, when they saw Li Xian say this, they could only bury the doubts in their hearts deeply.

And after Li Xian's army arrived in Danzhou, Sun Wanrong of the Khitan really couldn't sit still, he immediately led all his elite soldiers south to Pingzhou, and began to build defenses there, preparing to defend to the death.

At the same time, Sun Wanrong also sent a large number of scouts in order to investigate the movements of the Tang army, but for more than ten days, it has been the news that the Tang army has not moved.

Sun Wanrong couldn't help frowning when he heard the news, because he knew that Li Xian had always been insidious and cunning, and if he didn't move this time, there must be a conspiracy, so he ordered those scouts to pay closer attention to the movements of the Tang army, and not to take it lightly.

And just two days later, Sun Wanrong suddenly got the news that the Tang army suddenly sent more than 20,000 elite cavalry to quickly occupy Jizhou, east of Danzhou, and then continued to advance eastward, the target was to advance in the area of Dongkip Stone Valley in the east of Pingzhou.

The road in the East Kip Stone Valley is narrow, difficult and difficult, it is a shortcut to Pingzhou, if the Tang army is allowed to pass through here, it will definitely be able to attack the Khitan army behind it, which is simply a nightmare for them.

"Fortunately, we learned of the movements of the Tang army, and we are not far from the East Kip Stone Valley, we can definitely rush to the East Kip Stone Valley before the Tang army, as long as we set up an ambush there and wait for work, we will definitely be able to annihilate Li Xian's 20,000 troops, so as to frustrate the spirit of the Tang army and boost the morale of our army."

Without the slightest hesitation, Sun Wanrong immediately ordered the army under his command to move in the nest, give up the current defense, and all go to the place of the East Kip Stone Valley to set up an ambush, ready to give the Tang army a beautiful slap in the face, let them know that they know how powerful they are.

"But Khan, will the Tang army have any conspiracy?" A general under Sun Wanrong saw that he had so easily given up the city defense he had built in Pingzhou for many days and went to Dongkip Stone Valley to set up an ambush, which was really a little incredible, and he couldn't help asking.

But I saw Sun Wanrong say: "The easiest and most difficult to defend and the closest road between Jizhou and Pingzhou is this one, if the Tang army wants to attack us, it must take this road, you don't know that you have to go around at least hundreds of miles to take other roads, how is it possible for Tang thieves who are eager to win?" What's more, there is still a garrison of the Xi clan there, no matter from which point of view, the Tang thieves have no possibility to abandon this road at all, don't worry, I can predict that the East Kip Stone Valley is the place where I and the Tang thieves will fight each other, and it is also the place where we avenge Wushang Khan.
