Chapter 3 The Guidance of the God of War

Regarding Li Shimin's coercion, Du He patted his chest and assured that he had also obtained a "ticket to the northern battlefield" and entered a state of intense preparation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During this preparation period, Xue Yantuo's generosity repeatedly led troops to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty and plunder materials. At such a time, the meaning of the existence of the Great Wall is vividly embodied. The combat effectiveness of the border army has been at a very high level since ancient times, and they used the Great Wall as the base to resist the Xue Yantuo army set up by Dadu outside the Great Wall.
Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, Xue Yantuo's cavalry has one person and three horses, and the speed of travel is difficult to compare with the Tang army. Whether it is attacking or retreating, it is as swift as the wind. But like the wind, they are not good at attacking fortifications, and they can only sigh in the face of a bunker like the Great Wall.
The reason for Dadu's repeated attacks is not that he really wants to attack the Tang Dynasty and plunder anything, the purpose is to force the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fight with them, and expand its own advantages in the autumn season. But Li Shimin has experienced a hundred battles, when is the best time to attack, and he can see it clearly, with only this trick, how can he be forced to fight?
The invention of Duhe gloves made Li Shimin pay attention to it, and he used local governments to spread the production method of gloves to all parts of Datang. The Tang Dynasty adopted the government military system, similar to gloves, which were all prepared by the soldiers themselves. There is no need for the imperial court to rush the system. This kind of technical material, Xue Yantuo doesn't have the ability even if he wants to learn.
Time passed slowly in the preparation for the battle, and it was the end of autumn in a blink of an eye.
This year's winter came very early, it was the end of autumn, and the biting cold wind had already blown the flag hunting, and it seemed that God was also blowing the prelude to the war for the Tang Dynasty in advance.
As the battle approached, Du He clearly felt the high-spirited fighting spirit in the barracks.
The martial style of the Tang Dynasty was also vividly reflected before the war, facing the coming war. From the officers and colonels to the soldiers, they all face it with a mentality of earning meritorious service.
On this day, Duhe came to the Patriotic Mansion.
Regarding Du He's arrival, there was no surprise and strangeness in the Weiguo Mansion. Du He, as the person Li Jing invited to meet, has long become a frequent visitor to Wei Guogong.
Li Jing, known as the god of the Tang Dynasty, met Du He in the study.
Li Jing is still a few months away from entering the palace of seventy years old, and his beard has already turned white, but the whole person still reveals a full of energy, especially the beard with three white flowers, which is neatly combed, making him look energetic.
"Du He has seen Wei Gong......" Du He bowed respectfully and greeted him with a solemn teacher salute.
Li Jing did not accept apprentices, but he passed on what he had learned to three people, Hou Junji, Su Dingfang and Du He. Hou Junji doesn't say this, he can be regarded as an outcast who betrayed his master. As for Su Dingfang, Du He and Li Jing, they do not have the name of master and apprentice, but they have the reality of master and apprentice. For Li Jing, the two have always treated them with the same respect as their masters.
Li Jing is not as serious as he imagined, maybe this is not in the military, maybe he is old, Li Jing in front of Du He often appears in the form of a kind and wise old man, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, even if it, these days, you will come." ā
Du He was a little surprised: "Gong Wei had already expected me to come?" ā
Li Jing sat on the wide bed of beard, twisted his beard with white flowers in his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't come, it will be in vain for Your Majesty and my painstaking cultivation." Although there is no evidence that Hou Junji is in Xue Yantuo, the recent movements of Xue Yantuo are enough to prove this. This time I went north, and the really powerful enemy was not Yi Nan, let alone Dadu, but Hou Junji, who knew everything about my Tang Dynasty military. Hou Junji was once a famous general in my Tang Dynasty, and his ability, achievements, and meritorious deeds are almost impossible to compare with in the current civil and military affairs. How foolish it would be for you not to come to me to find out what was going on with him and be prepared for such a formidable opponent. ā
Du He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let Wei Gong see through, the kid is indeed here for Hou Jun today." I estimate that this time in the Northern Expedition, Hou Junji might use me as an opponent...... Well, this opponent may be a little too arrogant, but I think he will target me and want my head. ā
A hint of approval flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he nodded: "It's not that it maybe, but it will be." Hou Junji has always played cards according to common sense, he doesn't care about any gains and losses, he doesn't have any feelings for Xue Yantuo, whether Xue Yantuo can be strong or not, he doesn't care at all. The reason why he became Xue Yantuo's person was just to take revenge. And you are the first to take his revenge, for everything is caused by you: if it were not for you, he would not have been severely punished by His Majesty; If it weren't for you, his plan to force the palace would not have failed; If it weren't for you, his wife and children would not have become prisoners, and their lives would be in danger at all times; If it weren't for you, Hou Junji wouldn't be the current Hou Junji...... As long as you appear on the battlefield, with his character, it will be his first purpose to personally screw your head off. ā
Li Jing said with great certainty that no one in the Tang Dynasty knew Hou Junji better than Li Jing. At the beginning, many years ago, he had already expected that Hou Junji would be reversed.
Du He only felt a little numb behind him, Hou Junji's character was stubborn like a madman. A madman is not terrible, but a madman with a high IQ, a madman who leads his troops to fight and is almost invincible, really makes his heart cold.
"Then according to Wei Gong's opinion, if I meet Hou Junji, what will be the victory?"
Li Jing glanced at Du He, and then said very honestly: "On the confrontation between the two armies, under the same situation, your chance of defeating him is less than one percent......
"Uh......" Du He naturally knew that Li Jing would not exaggerate and fool him, it was less than one percent, so it wasn't a fight?
"You should be content...... Hou Junji is a famous general in a hundred battles, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only three people who can be compared with it, Your Majesty, me, and Li Ji, in ten years, you may be regarded as one, but now, it really can't. Both in experience and marching tactics, they are inferior. Li Jing's expression was serious, and he could see that he was not lying.
Du He also vaguely knew that he was really inferior to Hou Junji in terms of using soldiers. After all, he had never been in contact with military strategy, and he didn't know how to fight a war after reading too many history books. He studied military strategy for only four years, while Hou Junji fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years. He is a genius in military strategy, Hou Junji is the first general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's most important general, and half of Li Jing's apprentice. Could it be a stupid one?
The gap in time and experience, which is difficult to bridge.
However, Du He still found the problem in Li Jing's words very vaguely, under the same situation, the probability of you beating him is less than one percent. It is said that when the situation is the same, soldier against soldier, general against general.
However, on a real battlefield, how could this be the case.
Hou Junji is more experienced than him, has lived longer than him, and has more ability than him, this Du He does not deny it, but behind Hou Junji stands Xue Yantuo, and behind him stands the Tang Dynasty, the overlord of the world. Even if Sun Wu was alive and had a white epiphysis, it would be impossible for them to defeat 10,000 soldiers and horses led by a pig with a hundred soldiers. His side has an absolute advantage, what about Hou Junji, he still fights and crawls all over the ground.
Du He thought of this, and smiled: "Gong Wei, don't scare me." There is no such thing as fairness and justice in the war, and he is alone in Xue Yantuo, and the restraint he receives is definitely not small. And I, Duhe, have Datang as the backing, and there is a group of trustworthy brothers by my side who share life and death to help. I may not be able to defeat Hou Junji alone, but I don't believe in gathering everyone's strength to defeat Hou Junji alone? ā
Li Jing smiled, laughed very happily, the bell-like laughter, the dust on the roof of the earthquake "swished" down, "Okay, well said, just by this sentence, it is certain that Hou Junji is not as good as you...... He is too arrogant to know that a person's power is limited after all. Remembering the art of war is indeed one of the keys to victory, but it is not the whole story. It's the smallest details that can turn things around. ā
"Compared with Hou Junji, you are not as experienced as him, the army is slightly inferior to him, and the command of the battle is not as good as him, this is your disadvantage, you have to accept it, you have to know. In the same way, Hou Junji is not as good as you, you have more ghost ideas than him, you use soldiers more spiritually than him, and you can use people better than him; You have one more group of brothers than him who can support you in life and death. Your weakness is his strength; Your strengths are his weaknesses. Recognize your own disadvantages, with your own advantages, to deal with Hou Junji's disadvantages, you may not be able to beat him, of course, if you have enough self-confidence, you can also fight with him to fight experience, fight military strategy, maybe there will be a miracle, not necessarily. ā
Li Jing was in a good mood, and at the end, he couldn't help but make a little joke.
Hou Junji was instructed by him today, and he hoped that his disciples could defeat him and take back all this.
Du He said solemnly: "Xie Weigong's guidance, this is also the purpose of my visit." I hope to learn more about Hou Junji's strengths and weaknesses. ā
Li Jing said: "Hou Junji is very similar to the famous general Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, who is good at fighting tough battles, and has wolf-like intuition, and can find this flaw at the moment when you reveal it, tear the wound from the flaw, and defeat the enemy." Remember, against Hou Junji, you must not fight a tough battle with him, and I am not as good as him in the battle...... However, Hou Junji has many fatal flaws in his character......"
: Some people will think that I wrote Hou Junji too much, but in fact, I had this idea at the beginning. In the book, Hou Junji is needed to be the opposite angle, and he specially went to check his information. This check is incredible. I found that Hou Junji was ten times more powerful than I imagined. He is Li Shimin's most trusted general, and in front of him, the familiar generals can't compare with him, and even Li Ji is inferior to him. In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the only people who could compare with him were Li Shimin and Li Jing.
