Chapter 22
Khotan, Shuaifu, Li Changguo and the generals were present, but no one spoke, and they all frowned.
They were waiting, waiting for Gao Xianzhi's reply.
Whether or not to do this big article depends on the situation of Qiuzi. If Qiuzi can hold on for a month or two, Li Changguo can let go to do this big article, if Qiuzi can't hold on and it will be broken overnight, Li Changguo has to lead reinforcements to relieve the siege.
This matter is very important, and everyone's mood is extremely eager, looking forward to Gao Xianzhi's reply.
"Wow!" A loud eagle cry sounded, the sound of wings vibrating, and a flying eagle fell with its wings down.
"There's a reply!" Everyone's eyes shone eagerly, and they looked at the eagle.
Kant rushed up, removed the brass pipe from under the eagle's talons, and rushed in as if he were flying, presenting both hands to Li Changguo.
Li Changguo took it in his hand, and the eyes of all the generals focused on the copper pipe in Li Changguo's hand, all of them were eager, and they were so eager to grab it and see what was going on.
Unfolded it three or two times, and after browsing, Li Changguo's tightly wrinkled brows relaxed, and he smiled at the generals: "Don't worry, Qiuzi will be fine." ”
"Is Guzi okay?" The generals were puzzled, and their eyes were focused on Li Changguo.
"yes, it's fine." Li Changguo explained the situation.
"How so? Abu? Wouldn't Muslims be confused? ”
"That's right, when the turtles are about to fall, Abu? If a Muslim ordered the army to be withdrawn, he must have been confused and insane. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done that. ”
To Abu? When the Muslims ordered the withdrawal of Qiuzi, the generals could not understand even if they wanted to break their heads.
"Huh!" In the amazement of the generals, Li Changguo let out a burst of hearty laughter: "What a good Abu? Muslim! What a good opponent! This hand game is getting more and more exciting! ”
"Dashuai, how do you say this?" Bian Lingcheng listened to Li Changguo's words, and then looked at Li Changguo's heart back in his stomach, and was very surprised.
These words were asked to the hearts of the generals, and they all secretly agreed.
"Abu? Muslims, you are very proficient in the Chinese military books and war strategies, and you even use yang schemes. Li Changguo had a smile on his face.
"Yangmou?" The crowd will be puzzled.
"That's right, Abu? Muslims use the scheming. Li Changguo nodded heavily, explained to the generals, and said, "Are we calculating Abu? Muslim, he is also calculating us, we want to annihilate us under the city of Qiuzi, he also wants to annihilate us in Qiuzi, so he left Qiuzi, so that we can't go to Qiuzi. ”
"He's dreaming!" The generals shouted in unison, and they were not angry.
"In this way, at least Qiuzi will be fine for the time being, and I can rest assured that I can deploy the next big war." The problem that Li Changguo has been worried about is finally in Abu? The calculation of the Muslims has been solved for the time being, and the turtles will not fall for the time being, and they can finally let go of their hands and feet and arrange them well.
"Marshal, how should this battle be fought?" The generals asked in unison.
The next battle is very important, if the Tang army achieves the expected goal and annihilates the Great Food Army in a battle, then it will be much easier to advance westward. If it is Abu? If the Muslims annihilated the Tang army, he could enter the land of Hehuang without hindrance and threaten Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty would be very unhappy.
"This battle is very difficult to fight, it is very difficult to fight, and we should brainstorm ideas." Li Changguo knows very well that Abu? Muslims dare to calculate Li Changguo, he dares to use yang schemes, he must have something to rely on in his hands, and this battle is very difficult.
"Hmmm! That's right. The generals agreed with the idea of brainstorming.
A big war like this is rare once in a century, and it is not something that can be completed by a genius, and it should be brainstormed and drawn into a plan.
"Release the flying eagle to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and ask them to give advice. By the way, let them start mobilizing the Turkic army and prepare for a big battle. Li Changguo frowned and ordered loudly.
Since the Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, they became vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty used the Turks to resist the enemies on the border and played a good role. At present, the mobilization of Turkic troops is inevitable in such a major war. You must know that although the power of the Turks is not as good as before, the Turkic cavalry is still the elite of the world, coming and going, extremely good, no worse than the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
"In addition, send an order to Li Mi, asking him to come as soon as possible and counsel the military aircraft." Lee Chang-kook ordered again.
Li Mi is a generalist, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and a master of both military and political affairs, and it is absolutely beneficial to listen to his opinions on the planning of such a big war.
In the xxxxxxx desert, the 200,000 Tang army, led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, was advancing rapidly, turning and marching southward, preparing to rush to Qiuzi.
At this moment, the guards rushed forward and handed over Li Changguo's order. Guo Ziyi snatched it over, unfolded it, and said, "General Li, please." ”
The guards received the order and hurriedly went to invite Li Guangbi.
Guo Ziyi looked at Li Changguo's order, her brows furrowed, and she was silent.
While he was groaning, Li Guangbi Pegasus arrived, Guo Ziyi didn't allow him to speak, handed him Li Changguo's order, and said, "This is the order of the marshal, you see, let's sum it up again." ”
"Hmm." Li Guangbi responded, took it and took a look, his eyes were full of light, and he smiled: "Hehe! What a good Abu? Muslims, who are so proficient in the Chinese military books and war strategies, even use Yang Mou. That's fine, Guizi is okay for the time being, and we have time to set it up calmly. ”
"Guizi is fine, but I feel that the difficulty is even greater, and this battle is not easy to fight. Abu? If the Muslims dare to devise schemes and calculate us, they will inevitably have something to rely on, and this battle will have to be small, and they will have to go all out. Guo Ziyi's brows not only did not relax, but tightened it tighter, becoming a Sichuan character.
"General Guo is right, Abu? Muslims must rely on something, and we must not take it lightly. I mean, we immediately stop moving forward and just stay in the desert. Li Guangbi agreed with Guo Ziyi's judgment.
"Okay, you Li Guangbi, you even have to do this for Abu? Muslims set up bureaus. Give the order, stop the advance, and camp on the spot. Guo Ziyi is a famous general, and as soon as he thought about it, he understood Li Guangbi's intentions and agreed with it.
"Abu? The Muslim was a slave of the Great Eater, and he was able to become the governor of the East, which was not trivial, and he would not have been unaware of the number of troops that could not have passed through the Silk Road, and he must have guessed that we would march from the desert. Li Guangbi smiled and said, "Let's take this opportunity to give Abu a good deal?" The Muslims set up several bureaus and let him drill them. ”
"That's right." Guo Ziyi deeply agreed, and said: "This battle is extremely difficult, and we have to be more careful. The commander wants us to send the Turks to war, and I deeply believe that. ”
"The Turkic cavalry is the elite of the world, and if it is mobilized, we will have a strong army to intercept and pursue, which is extremely useful." Lee Kwang-pil was also in favor of it.
The Turks are mostly light horses, and they are not good at charging frontally, if they are used to intercept the enemy and chase and kill, then they are used properly, and they will definitely burst out with amazing combat power. In this battle, once victorious, there will definitely be a lot of big food troops to escape, and a large number of light cavalry will be needed to chase and kill, and the Turkic cavalry will play just right, and they are indispensable.
"That's it, in the past, the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight against the Turks, and they always found excuses to shirk, I wonder if they will shirk again this time?" Li Guangbi raised his eyebrows, very powerful.
Since the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has sent many Turkic soldiers to war, and there have been wars almost every year, resulting in a sharp decline in the Turkic population, and Ding Zhuang has suffered many casualties, which greatly weakens the strength of the Turks. Therefore, whenever the Tang Dynasty sent troops, the Turks found an excuse to shirk and did not want to participate in the war.
"Don't worry, this time, they will rush to come." Guo Ziyi was full of confidence and said with a smile: "In the past, it was a small fight, the imperial court did not send many troops, even if it was won, it would not have much credit, and it would not be much good, and of course the Turks did not want to fight." This time is different, the imperial court sent troops on a large scale, to fight a life-and-death battle with the Great Food, once the battle is won, the results are rich, unimaginable, and there are many benefits. We don't want them to go to war, and they'll beg us. ”
Guo Ziyi is right, in the past, when the Turkic soldiers were called to fight, they were reluctant to participate in the war, a very important reason was that the Tang army did not make a big move, but only sent a small force, which was a small fight, even if the battle was won, there was not much oil and water, and of course the Turks were unwilling.
This time the situation was different, the Tang army marched westward, and there were 300,000 people in one dispatch, which was not a few times in the history of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to think about the benefits of victory, it is incomparably rich, and in order to reap the benefits, for the sake of oil and water, the Turks will definitely actively participate in the war.
"Besides, our army of 200,000 is in the desert, if they dare to say a word, we will send a large army and destroy him immediately! Whoever does not come, will be destroyed! Li Guangbi's two thick eyebrows were twisted, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, murderous.
200,000 Tang troops in the desert, this in itself is a huge deterrent, how dare the Turks say a word. Forgive them, they don't have the guts. Even the revival of Jieli Khan, who was known for his arrogance, did not have the guts.
"Huh!" Guo Ziyi nodded heavily, smiled heartily, and said, "The 200,000 army is here, even if all the Turkic armies are combined, it is not enough for us to kill." This time, they didn't dare not come. Order, to send troops to the Turks! ”
The guards responded and hurriedly disposed of it.
The Tang army set up camp, moved quickly, and quickly set up camp.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi rode their horses to the big tent, entered together, and ordered the generals to come to discuss the matter.
The generals were ordered, and Pegasus arrived, and soon they arrived.
"General Guo, what's going on? Why not go? ”
"It's not going to fight the Turks, is it?"
The generals speculated a lot, and stopped in the desert, and they couldn't think of anything else except to fight the Turks.
"Turkic? Our 200,000 troops are here, is the Turks enough for us to kill? Don't you want to kill us to extinction? Guo Ziyi was a little funny.
"Huh!" The generals were in great agreement with this.
The Turks were the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and they were once invincible, and they fought against the Sui and Tang dynasties. After arduous efforts, the Tang Dynasty finally exterminated the Turks. How strong the combat power of the Tang army is, it is forged with the blood of the Turks, and these 200,000 Tang troops are really going to let go of fighting, not to mention the current Turks, even the Turks in the period of strong and tyrannical are not opponents.
"You are called because of ...... You all know the situation, let's take a good look at the total, how to use it to make suggestions to the marshal. Guo Ziyi briefly explained the situation.
