Chapter 45: The Turkic Soldiers Arrive
This is also the conclusion that Luo Shixin has summed up these days. To put it bluntly, the purpose of the Turks seeking wealth was to rob more money, not to fight a vigorous battle with Li Tang. With this mentality, in the face of the Tang army fighting to the death, and facing the army of nearly 200,000 people, will they be willing to spend an inexplicable price to fight?
The answer is obvious.
If he hadn't known some information in advance, Luo Shixin himself wouldn't have dared to believe that the purpose of Jieli's 200,000-strong army was just to seek wealth.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said happily: "If it is really as General Luo said, then the dominance of this battle is in our hands." ”
Li Yi still argued strongly: "But what if it's not, the Turks are brave and good at fighting, how can they be afraid of war?" He said that he had no confidence, he occupied an area in Youzhou and was the king, and he had dealt with the Turks, and the Turks invaded, and he never had the belief in a decisive battle. Before the army came, they plundered as much as they could, and when the army arrived, no one could be seen.
Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "No, it's just like General Luo said...... The Turks invaded our territory and destroyed our homeland. We are fighting with a decisive mentality, not afraid of the Turks. ”
Luo Shixin clapped his hands and smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess really doesn't let her eyebrows, unlike some people who have a large army in hand, but they don't dare to fight, and let the Turks rage." At the end, he didn't forget the acne Li Yi, although he didn't comment on Li Yi's nominally "conservative" style of play, he had already despised it thoroughly in his heart.
Although the Turkic army of 150,000 was terrifying, Li Tang also gathered 178,000 soldiers and horses of nearly 200,000. Although the 150,000 Turks were cavalry, Li Tang's overall strength was still at a disadvantage. But if you shrink up and don't fight because of this disadvantage, and let the Turks be powerful in the territory, then it is not a cowardice that can be described, and only a guy like Li Yi who only cares about his own interests and ignores the life and death of the people can come up with an idea.
Li Yi saw that Princess Pingyang said this, and her hatred was even worse, but she didn't say anything anymore.
Li Shimin's eyebrows fluttered, in the past, the Turks were all petty fights, but this time the 200,000 troops suddenly pressed the border in three ways, and instinctively thought that Jieli had a big plan, and he was caught in the obstacle he set for himself, and he considered it in terms of grand strategy, so he was concerned. Now let Luo Shixin break it, and he has a thousand calculations in his heart.
Leaving the camp of Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui rode horses on both sides of the Yellow River.
Li Shimin raised his whip and said: "This time, Luo Shixin can compare us all." ”
Fang Xuanling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We think too complicated, but the more we think about it, the more confused we become." General Luo's reverse thinking is extremely mysterious, and he has analyzed Jieli's plot simply and clearly, and he will not succeed if he does not admit defeat! ”
"Can't see through him!" Du Ruhui said a few words succinctly, he has always had clear thoughts and few words, but the words are golden, and he can get to the point, so he has the name of Du Duan.
"yes!" Li Shimin sighed, "I'm looking away, he has an epiphany this time, and he is like two people in the past." ”
Du Ruhui said: "It's not too late! ”
"Haha!" Li Shimin laughed and said: "Keming is right, it's not too late now, the eldest brother will be inferior to me in this regard after all." ”
**********
After last night's questioning, Princess Pingyang swept her eyebrows and worried, and acted resolutely.
Early in the morning, he ordered the army to cross the river, hoping to rush to Hebei as soon as possible, so as not to escape back to the steppe after the Turks plundered.
Luo Shixin commanded the soldiers and horses to cross the river, but he couldn't see the annoying Li Yi left and right, and he couldn't help but be secretly weird.
Until the army completely crossed the river, and did not talk about Li Yi's shadow, Luo Shixin couldn't help but mutter, "Where is the old guy going?" ”
"You mean Li Yi?" I don't know when, Princess Pingyang came nearby, heard his muttering, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, that's what the old guy said!" Luo Shixin didn't hide it, it was already an obvious thing to disagree with Li Yi, so there was no need to hide it.
Princess Pingyang shook her head helplessly, Luo Shixin and Li Yi were at odds, she had already seen it in her eyes, but she didn't expect it to be so strict, and it was obviously impossible to reconcile it.
He had already resigned early this morning, saying that the military situation was urgent and urgent. He took the first step and rushed to Yandi to defend the enemy with Yanyou's soldiers, so as to wait for our army. ”
"Holy! The old thing is shameless. Luo Shixin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, what kind of bullshit "to defend the enemy with Yanyou's soldiers" obviously listened to his words yesterday, worried that the Turks would hear the arrival of Tang Dynasty reinforcements, flee away, and return to the old nest first to earn some merits from the old department.
Princess Pingyang was also a little embarrassed, obviously it was Luo Shixin who first noticed the Turkic intentions, and asked Li Yi to pick up the cheap.
"This, what General Li Yi said is not unreasonable, and it is not easy for this palace to refuse."
Compared with Princess Pingyang's embarrassment and discomfort, Luo Shixin thought about it but looked away: "This can't be blamed on the princess, it's that old thing is too shameless." But it's okay this way, the old thing rushed to the front line in one step, at least he could save more people and save the local people from unnecessary losses. ”
Princess Pingyang was very surprised and said, "I can't imagine that General Luo still has this mind?" ”
Luo Shixin rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of mind, I don't have that thing." If my soldiers were in Youzhou, they would have gone to the front line a long time ago. That old guy has been operating in Youzhou for many years, and we really can't compare. War exploits are dead, and sooner or later there will be. Human life is different, if it is gone, it is gone. I, Luo Shixin, don't want his old thing to be trampled underfoot, but I won't ignore the life and death of the people in order to fight for this breath. If he had rushed to the front line first, he would have saved more civilians and taught the Turkic soldiers a lesson, and I would have admitted that he had been trampled on. ”
Duke Pingyang took the initiative to praise and said: "General Luo is really a husband. ”
Luo Shixin blushed a little when he was praised, and said with a smile: "The princess praised it in seconds, I'm not that great." It's just that I know that the Turks are brutal and don't want my Chinese people to suffer. ”
Princess Pingyang glanced at Luo Shixin deeply and did not speak.
The army crossed the Yellow River, and Li Shimin specially came to say goodbye.
The two armies rushed all the way to Puzhou and advanced all the way to the depths of Hebei.
As soon as Li Shimin's army left, Luo Shixin shuddered a little when he found that their army, the total number was less than five thousand, and he could see the end at a glance.
This is also something that can be helped, after all, they are also dealing with partial divisions, and the central army has been transferred to Li Shimin. However, the old department of Hebei Zhichong Mansion and Li Yi combined had nearly 15,000 soldiers and horses, which should be more than enough to deal with the partial division.
After a day and night of marching, Luo Shixin and they had reached the boundary of Leping, and as long as they turned north and passed through Jingcheng, they could go deep into the hinterland of Hebei.
But just as they arrived in Leping, the scouts came in a hurry and shouted: "General Luo, more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry have crossed Taiyuan and are rushing to this side......
