Chapter 24: Regrouping
Lucky, Li Jing has never felt so lucky in this life, and he believes that if he doesn't die, he will have less skin, but this time he was really wrong. Such a big defeat was actually brought by the emperor, as for why if he can't win next year, he will be punished for two crimes and directly executed, he simply ignored it. As Fang Xuanling said, the emperor is so supportive, even if he is defeated, there is no severe punishment. Li Chengzong will let Li Jing go over the sea in the future, I am afraid that Li Jing will not frown, next year not to say that the Turks avoid fighting, it is useless to dig a pit and bury yourself, if Li Jing can't dig three feet into the ground and kill them, there is really no need for Li Chengzong to do it, Li Jing will definitely find a place where no one is there to solve himself.
I can't understand it, not to mention that Li Jing can't understand it a little, and Shan Xiongxin, who swears that he already thinks he can replace Li Jing as the coach, doesn't understand. Why, exactly? When did Your Majesty have such a good temper, and such a loss is such a result, at least you must change the coach!
Su Dingfang is happy, compared to others, Li Jing is very good as a coach. changed others, even if it wasn't people like Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin, he wouldn't feel good. There are very few people in the court who don't gang up, so they don't have to worry about protecting anyone, and they don't have to worry about being targeted by them. However, Su Dingfang can't be said to be uncurious about Li Chengzong's decision, after all, he also knows that Li Chengzong is not a generous person, whether it is a war or something else, Li Chengzong is in line with the principle of not losing, or the loss must be smaller than the enemy, what happened this time?
Li Jing took the holy decree, and others may not be able to know what he thinks in his heart. But what others think, Li Jing is clear.
"Send out scouts. Day and night surveillance. "Li Jing has no time to care about their thoughts, and killing the Turks who are still alive is the first thing.
"Dashuai, the snow hasn't stopped. Even if you want to beat them, you can't beat them! "Wang Xiaohu doesn't want to send someone out, why is the wind and snow so big? Most of the scouts in the army are mixed with themselves, who has let himself stay in the Turks for the longest time, and he and his subordinates are the most familiar with this place! Because of this, Wang Xiaohu didn't want to send people out in such a bad environment. Li Jing asked him to investigate the situation of the Turkic Khans, but he did not send people to inspect the area around the camp. Walking so far, I'm afraid that I can only go with five people and two people back, and I'm not afraid of being killed. But it would be miserable to freeze to death.
Wang Xiaohu spoke, and Gao Yaxian could also understand it.
"Marshal, it's better to rest for the time being, the army doesn't count the people who came back from the expedition and were frostbitten. There are already quite a few. The Turki Khan and the Jieli Khan are too far away from us. Going back and forth all the way, ordinary people can't stand it. It's better to wait, not to mention that it is a fight, that is also before this snowstorm comes, and as soon as the snowstorm comes, the possibility of Mingjin withdrawing troops is the greatest. Gao Yaxian analyzed with Wang Xiaohu's words.
Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but." This scout must be sent out. If five people can't do it, fifty people don't need to rush to prepare more things. All supplies in the army were limited to the scout battalion to protect them from frostbite. The Tuli Khan is far away from us, but it is very close to the Jieli Khan, and the wind and snow are afraid that it will not shake the determination of the Tuli Khan to dominate the grassland and become the only Khan king. If he really wins, next year will be troublesome for the Turks, and we must understand it first, and we can't get the news temporarily before making deployments. ”
Su Dingfang said: "When they fight, victory or defeat is internal friction no matter what, and there is no loss for us." Why do we need to deploy early, the more brutal the fight, the better it will be for us, no matter what they do. ”
"Internal friction is internal friction, but a fist that is not clenched cannot hurt anyone. Once the power of the Turks was unified under the control of the Turki Khan, the trouble was not small. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the current Turks are not dead, but still have strength. Li Jing never despises anyone, even if it is a deserter who loses his armor, in Li Jing's eyes, he is a group of people who can kill. The Turks have been roaming the steppe for many years, and they are still very strong. So far, Datang's victory over the Turks has largely relied on their serious infighting, rather than any absolute superiority in strength.
Recently, it was said that this time the 100,000-strong army went west to conquer the Turks, why did they all take the initiative to avoid the battle and not fight. Whether you can fight or not is not the primary issue, the bloody battle, if the Turks do their best to meet the battle, can the Tang army still have the strength to continue to pursue the victory? Obviously, no, it will even be dragged into a protracted war by the Turks, and the longer and longer supply lines will make the Tang army rout little by little, and in the end it can only return to the dynasty.
The reason for not facing the enemy head-on is because the grassland is not peaceful, and everyone does not believe that they will do their best to each other. Who doesn't want to keep a hand, watch other people's subordinates die early, and wait for the enemy to dare to run, so that they can have the initiative in the process of reshuffling. Conversely, it is the one who loses the most and is the most unlucky.
"That being the case, then I will go down and make arrangements for a good life, and they are all my own brothers. There is nothing to say about dying on the battlefield, how annoying it would be if you were frozen to death on the road by this ghost weather. Wang Xiaohu already complained a little about what he said.
Li Jing doesn't care about these things, and now that his prestige has plummeted, and he hasn't come up with a good way to save his prestige, Li Jing doesn't want to have any conflicts with anyone, and the four words are the overall situation.
Qin Qiong has been a little unwell in the past few days because of the bad weather, but fortunately, there is a prescription prescribed by Sun Simiao, and she has been well maintained. Otherwise, you might not be able to get out of bed at this time. Anyway, he was a soy sauce character, and after a few words, he left, and did not stay to participate in the deployment of the rest of the army.
Shan Xiongxin and Su Dingfang are people who are ready to be promoted and make a fortune, they are not only important, but also have the heart to make themselves more important. It is impossible to say that they are allowed to go, and everything in the army must be involved.
Li Jing's biggest headache is also these two, and his favorite is also these two, which is really contradictory.
"Once the winter is over, it will be impossible for the Turks without food to stand still. As long as we are properly armed, we will definitely be able to kill them one by one. Shan Xiong said.
"No, the distance between the north and the south of the Turks is too far, and there are no mountains and valleys. It's not impossible for them to go wherever they want to go, we can't do it everywhere, and if they break it into pieces, what should we do? Su Dingfang listened to Shan Xiongxin's words and then said.
"Kill one by one, I don't believe how many Turks can die. After a year's hard work, sooner or later they will be killed, and there will be no one left. "Shan Xiongxin is a bit of a bandit logic, but it can't be said that there is none.
Li Jing disagreed with Shan Xiongxin's words, and agreed with Su Dingfang's analysis. (To be continued......)
