Chapter 0442: Guo Ziyi's Conception
Two days before last, among the several officials that Li Ang asked the imperial court to dispatch, Guo Ziyi arrived first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough people should not pretend to be pretending, Leon was still slightly disappointed when he saw him for the first time.
Guo Ziyi looks like she is in her early fifties, with a medium build, and her appearance is not characteristic, if she is not wearing an official uniform, she looks no different from the ordinary middle-aged and old men on the street, and she does not have the intimidating demeanor of a famous general at all.
Maybe it was his later name that made Leon expect too much from him, anyway, Leon was a little disappointed at first sight, but he just didn't show it.
In the lobby of the Kuozhou Mansion, only Li Ang sat at the top, and when Guo Ziyi was giving the ceremony, out of curiosity, he couldn't help but look at Li Ang twice. First, Li Ang was born as a Jinshi, a literati leading troops, but in such a short period of time, he achieved such a brilliant record, which really makes people wonder what kind of person Li Ang is.
What makes Guo Ziyi even more strange is that he himself is not well-known, just a small military envoy, Li Ang actually knows his name, and specially asked the court to transfer him to Longyou, which really makes him puzzled.
Seeing that he was very respectful and sincere, Li Ang got up and helped him up and said, "Envoy Guo doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." This year is approaching, all the way to the snow, let Guo Junenvoy rush to Longyou, and ask Guo Junenvoy not to scold me. ā
"Where did the Marquis of Yunyang say, the Marquis of Yunyang specially asked the court to transfer the lower officials, this is the honor of the lower officials, if the Marquis of Yunyang is sent, the lower officials should go all out." Guo Ziyi shook again and kept his duties as a subordinate official.
"I asked the imperial court to transfer Guo Jun'an over because I wanted Guo Jun'an to go to a feast. Of course, as the so-called banquet is not a good banquet, if you don't have that ability, you can't gnaw other people's meat, not to mention, you will break your teeth, Guo Jun still has to prepare in his heart, hahaha......"
Guo Ziyi said calmly: "Your Majesty is foolish, please also ask the Marquis of Yunyang to make it clear." ā
Li Ang glanced at him and said slowly: "The Son of Heaven has the ambition to set foot in Tubo, and our mission is to plant the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty in the Tubo Palace, Guo Junenvoy thinks, is this a feast?" ā
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi clenched his fists and replied: "Guo Ziyi is willing to die for the saint, and I respectfully listen to the dispatch of Yunyang Hou." ā
Seeing that he heard this, Li Ang seemed very calm, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this is the demeanor of a famous general! It is difficult for someone who is waiting for leisure to suddenly hear such a major event to be so calm.
"Okay, I've prepared a few side dishes for Guo Jun's envoy to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Guo Jun's envoy please come with me, let's talk while eating!"
Li Ang took Guo Ziyi to his residence on the east side of the mansion, and set up a banquet in the front hall to entertain Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi participated in the martial arts during the reign of Wu Zetian, and made up for the chief of the left guard with "exceptional" results, he has been tempered in the army for twenty or thirty years, but he has not received much attention, and there is no dazzling record, which forms a sharp contrast with Li Ang, a person who became famous at a young age.
This time, Li Ang named the emperor to transfer him to Longyou, Guo Ziyi was surprised at the same time, and felt that this was a rare opportunity.
There is no doubt that now the focus of the Tang Dynasty is on Tubo, Wang Zhonghe, who has made great achievements, was demoted, and the impact on Longyou does not seem to be great, Li Ang's performance is even more dazzling than Wang Zhonghei, and Tubo has been defeated again and again, with such a record, although Li Ang is young, and there is a legend that Li Ang is still the grandson of the emperor, therefore, Guo Ziyi did not dare to despise him in the slightest, and he was even more moved by such courtesy.
As soon as he entered the table, Guo Ziyi first picked up the wine and said: "Thanks to Yunyang Hou, Guo Ziyi is here to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give Yunyang Hou a cup." ā
"Envoy Guo is polite, please!"
Feeling that Guo Ziyi was still a little restrained, Li Ang took the initiative to talk to him about his family, and waited for the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of food before cutting into the topic of how to pacify Tibet.
"Guo Junzhi, after the beginning of spring, Tubo is likely to come out of the nest to attack Longyou, Guo Junenvoy thinks how should we deal with Fang is appropriate?"
Guo Ziyi put down his chopsticks, sighed a little and said: "Tubo has suffered a fiasco over the years under the blow of Yunyang Hou, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. In this case, it is not difficult to set back Tubo slightly, but if Yunyang Hou wants to take the opportunity to destroy Tubo in one fell swoop, I am afraid that some means will be used, otherwise the war will be slightly unfavorable, and Tubo is likely to withdraw immediately. ā
"I would like to hear that Guo Jun will make him high."
"Xia Guan thought that the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths could be used, and in order to achieve this goal, the stone fort could be temporarily abandoned. The stone castle has always been a strategic fortress for the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to compete for, if we give up the stone castle in a fraudulent way, Tubo must believe it and be ecstatic......"
Without waiting for Guo Ziyi to speak, Nie Feng squirted: "Since Guo Junenvoy knows that Shibao is a strategic fortress, how can he give up lightly, does Guo Junzhi know that it was Yunyang Hou who led me to take back Shibao at the risk of nine deaths and one life?" What's more, once the stone fort is obtained, the Tubo army can be attacked and retreated, and then Guo Junenvoy wants us to exchange the lives of tens of thousands of Tang troops for the stone fort? ā
After Li Ang signaled Nie Feng not to be in a hurry for the time being, he said to Guo Ziyi: "Envoy Guo, the stone fort is a landmark fortress for war readiness, and using the stone fort to lure the enemy will certainly make Tubo take the bait, if it cannot be quickly recaptured, at the political and military level, it will also be very unfavorable to our army, and then it will not only cause a great blow to the morale of our army, but also the tribes that originally belonged to Tubo, such as Tuyuhun, I am afraid that they will also be separated, and the holy lord and the ministers of the court will also be worried about this, and maybe they will dismiss me and Geshuhan on the grounds that we are not in a good position in battle." ā
Guo Ziyi's courage is indeed not small, as soon as he came up, he dared to use the stone castle as bait, it can be seen that on the way here, he thought about it after a while, and after Li Ang proposed the risks, he quietly waited for his next step.
Guo Ziyi said: "Marquis Yunyang, when implementing this battle plan, you can take the first step to play the Shengshang, so as not to misunderstand the DPRK and China, as for the various departments that have just returned to the Tang Dynasty, you can gather their leaders in advance to the Shuai tent, so that even if they have doubts, they can't turn against them for a while." With the stone fort as bait, Tubo will have no doubt, and the Tubo army can be firmly nailed to the stone fort, east of the stone fort, is the hinterland of Longyou, so after occupying the stone fort, the Tubo army will definitely concentrate its forces to attack Suirong City and Shancheng, and the troops will refer to Shanzhou. At that time, our army can block layer by layer, slowly wear down the morale of the Tubo army, and at the same time outflank the two flanks of the Yellow River Jiuqu and Dafeichuan with heavy troops, and encircle the Tubo army under the stone fort city. ā
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous general, and he can do what others dare not do. Li Ang listened to his words and couldn't help but nod frequently. In the past, the Jiuqu of the Yellow River and the west of Chiling were under the control of the Tibetans, and whoever controlled the stone fort had the initiative to attack, so the stone fort had an extremely important position in strategy. But now Shibao is actually not so important to the Tang army, because the land of the Yellow River in the south of Shibao, the Qinghai region in the northwest, and the Dafeichuan area to the west are all under the control of the Tang army, and Shibao has actually become a hinterland.
Giving up the stone fort is equivalent to temporarily opening the middle road, opening the door to let the Tubo army come in, and then you can block the attack layer by layer in Suirong City and Shancheng County, and then send the army from the two wings of the stone fort, all the way out of the Yellow River Jiuqu, go to Da Momen City, go all the way to Niuxindui, go to Dafeichuan to complete the encirclement of the Tubo army, in this process, the stone fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will be like a bone with meat, the Tubo army will be firmly attracted here, so that the Tang army can win the time of the encirclement.
In addition, the stone fort is nearly 100 miles in radius, all of which are lofty mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the Tubo cavalry, but on the contrary, such a battlefield is also more beneficial to the Tang army. The Tang army doesn't need to attack, as long as it can completely encircle, it can basically lock up the victory.
Li Ang admired this strategic concept very much, it seems that Guo Ziyi can become the main figure in the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, it is not all by luck, he transferred him over, and he can be regarded as finding someone.
Of course, in order to really implement such a big battle, there are still many details to be discussed, how to deceive the defeat, how to invite the king into the urn, how to complete the siege, every step needs to be discussed repeatedly.
Li Ang simply divided the people who sat in the big seat into two, he, Nie Feng and Wu Xuan said that Tubo, and Li Mi and Guo Ziyi represented the Tang army, and the two sides repeatedly deduced the offensive and defensive, discussed various possible situations, and tried to improve the entire battle plan.
The cold wind was blowing outside, the wine and food were cold indoors, and no one moved their chopsticks anymore, and they all threw themselves into the argument of being in charge. (To be continued.) )
