Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Abandoning Monan and retreating to Mobei, the risk of this road is too great, the loss is too great, and it is likely to lead to annihilation, so Mo Si has to pin his hopes on the second road.
The ministers were also thoughtful, looking at the valley of desire.
"The second way is: war!" Lust Valley said in a deep voice.
"Battle?" The ministers were greatly disappointed and couldn't help shaking their heads.
"We can't beat the Tang Army. If we can fight, do we still need to fight? ”
"That's right. In a head-to-head battle, we are certainly not the opponent of the Tang Army, which has long been verified with the blood and bones of our ancestors. ”
The Turks know best how strong the Tang army is, and that is proved by the bones and blood of the Turks. If the Turks really want to engage the Tang army head-on, they will definitely not be able to defeat it.
"You mean to say that we are concentrating our superior forces and attacking one of them?" Silent sipping as if there was an understanding.
"Khan is wise." Tun Yugu nodded and said: "In a head-on battle with the Tang Army, we can't defeat the Tang Army, but we don't have to fight head-on, we can completely concentrate our superior forces and attack all the way." As long as one or more of them are defeated, the offensive of the Don Army will not be sustained, and our crisis will be lifted. ”
"Good way!" The ministers suddenly praised in unison.
It's definitely a good idea.
In the event of a full-scale war, the Turks would be defeated. If the Turks concentrated their superior forces and attacked the Tang army one or several routes, they could have won the victory.
If the Turks were able to defeat several Tang armies, the Tang army's offensive would not be sustainable, and the Turkic crisis would be resolved.
"Which way? I think it's appropriate to beat Wang Xiaojie. ”
"That's right. Wang Xiaojie was the general of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of this attack on the Great Turks, if he was defeated, the Tang army's offensive would be self-defeating. ”
"I'm in favor of beating Wang Xiaojie."
The ministers shouted and were very excited.
Wang Xiaojie is the only remaining famous general and veteran of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the commander of the Tang army. The benefits don't have to be thought of.
"No." Mo Si shook his head.
"Great Khan, why not? Wang Xiaojie, as the commander of the Tang Army, has great benefits in defeating him. The ministers disapproved and retorted loudly.
Mo Si still insisted on his point of view and said: "As the commander of the Tang Army, Wang Xiaojie has great benefits in defeating him, but he has heavy troops around him. And it's all elite, even if we gather all our armies, we may not be able to defeat him. Even if we are defeated, we will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to succeed. ”
Wang Xiaojie, as the commander of the Tang Army, was protected by heavy troops. And it's all elite, and its combat power is very strong. If the Turks dared to attack him, not only could they not defeat Wang Xiaojie, but they would be completely annihilated by the Tang army. Wang Xiaojie can completely bite the Turks, and then mobilize a large army to besiege the Turks. At that time, the Turks had no other way out than to destroy their entire army.
"Yes." It's reasonable for the ministers to think about it.
"Who is that hitting?" The ministers frowned and thought about it.
"Li Longji!" Mo Si and Tun Desire Valley glanced at each other and nodded slightly. Murmured.
"Li Longji?" The ministers were amazed.
The Tang army was full of fierce generals, and there were many generals who were hated by the Turks, such as Tang Xiujing, Li Xianqiu, Ge Fushun and others. Defeating Tang Xiujing was more relieving than defeating Li Longji.
"Although Li Longji came to the border pass for the first time, the Great Turks know that the loss is not small because of him, and the loss is very large, and this revenge cannot be avenged, this is one of them." Mo Si explained.
Although Li Longji is new to the battlefield, his appearance is very eye-catching. The battle of the siege of Fengzhou was particularly beautiful, and the Turks suffered an unprecedented defeat. Moreover, the winter training was also proposed by Li Longji, which caused huge losses to the Turks. After the battle, Li Longji led the Tang army to attack and killed the most Turks. This made Mo Si hold a grudge.
"Li Longji is the grandson of Wu Zetian, a stinky woman, and the third son of the emperor's heir Li Dan, his status is very respectful, if he is defeated. It was a heavy blow to the morale of the Tang army, and this was the second thing. Mo Si then explained.
With the noble status of Li Longji's imperial grandson, if he suffered a defeat, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the Tang army. Not to mention, his prestige in the Tang Army is not low, and he is very convinced by the Tang Army, if he loses, it will be a heavy blow to the Tang Army.
"If we can capture or kill Li Longji alive, Wu Zetian's stinky woman is angry, and he will remove Wang Xiaojie's military power, or even kill him, then it will be the best. Although this is not very likely, it is also a possibility. Mo Si's eyes sparkled, and he said: "As long as Wang Xiaojie does not command the army, it will be the time for the Great Turkic warriors to dominate!" ”
Wang Xiaojie is the only remaining veteran of the Tang Dynasty, experienced in a hundred battles, extremely experienced in battle formations, is a huge threat to the Turks, if he does not command the army, it is great news for the Turks. Its benefits are no less than when Cheng Wuting was killed by Wu Zetian.
"Good! Khan is wise! The ministers immediately agreed.
"Father Khan, I am willing to lead the army into battle." Tuoxi's face was gloomy, and he was very unhappy about being captured by Li Longji.
"It's good that you have such a fighting spirit, but this battle has a lot to do with it, and it's better for Ben Khan to do it himself." Mo Si's eyes sparkled, and he was greatly excited.
"Khan, it's better to go." Lust Valley asks for his life.
"You are resourceful and can fight well, and you can go too." Mo Si praised Tunyu Valley very much, and said: "Give you 50,000 elites, and allocate 2,000 strong crossbows to you, and you must kill Li Longji." ”
Although the Turks could not make crossbows on a large scale like the Tang Dynasty, they could capture them. In these years, there have been continuous wars with the Tang Dynasty, and tens of thousands of strong crossbows have been captured, all of which are used to equip the soldiers and horses of the Mosi headquarters. This time, in order to deal with Li Longji, he transferred two thousand strong crossbows, which was a heavy hemorrhage.
"Tuoxi, you are bent on revenge, so go with you. Remember, one qiē must obey the orders of the valley. Mo Si's eyes flashed, and he said: "If you do something bad, Hugh blames your father Khan for being ruthless." ”
The stakes in this battle are too great, even if Tuoxi is his own son, he can't show mercy.
"Father Khan, please rest assured, I understand." Tuoxi said busily.
Tunyugu led 50,000 Turkic elites and came out immediately.

In the northwest of Heisha City, thousands of miles away, there is a water meadow where the Tang army led by Li Longji rests.
The soldiers were full of joy and excitement, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Since going deep into the desert, the Tang army has achieved extremely rich results, and the number of Turkic herdsmen killed by them will not be less than 100,000. They seized countless cattle, sheep, and horses. Although it was used to destroy the water source, not many of them can be left, but they are all good horses that have been selected again and again, and the soldiers cannot dislike them.
Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Xue Zhi, Zhang Xiaofei, Su Fan, and Li Kuan sat together, all with joy on their faces.
"The king of Chu has a good plan, we have killed so many Turkic herdsmen. Having destroyed so many water sources, what can the Turks do to me? Zhang Xiaofei gave Li Longji a thumbs up and said with a smile.
"That's right." Chen Xuanli: They agreed in unison.
Although Li Longji's plan is gloomy and vicious, it hits the key point of the Turks, making it impossible for the Turks to crack it, whenever he thinks about it. They just rejoice.
"This plan is of course very good, it hits the key point of the Turks, but the Turks will not be captured, they will inevitably counterattack, you all tell us how to deal with it." Li Longji just nodded lightly.
Mo Si is a shrewd person, he is bent on recovering the country, and he will definitely not be arrested. is bound to fight back, Li Longji had to prepare early and wake everyone up with his words.
"The King of Chu is far-sighted and admired." Zhang Shuo greatly agreed with Li Longji's words and said: "In my opinion, there are only two ways for the Turks. ”
"Which two?" Chen Xuanli asked.
said to Zhang, Chen Xuanli admired from the bottom, and his eyes were wide open. Dead staring.
"The first way is to abandon Monan, like the Xiongnu who had to retreat after being fiercely attacked by the Han Dynasty, retreat to Mobei, recuperate, sit back and wait for a good opportunity, and then make a comeback." Zhang Shuo's eyes flashed.
"Reasonable." Chen Xuanli greatly agreed with this and said: "Mobei has always been the nest of northern nomads. It's a great place for them to recuperate. I remember that before the Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Dynasty, they went south three times and suffered heavy defeats three times. They all returned to Mobei to recuperate, waited for a good opportunity, and then made a comeback, and finally became a huge disaster in the Han Dynasty. ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, which was a major event in Chinese history, however, because the price paid was too great, later generations scolded him for being reckless, which was actually unfair.
As Chen Xuanli said, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu had gone south three times, but suffered a big defeat three times, all of them retreated to Mobei, recuperated until the soldiers were strong and went south again.
The reason for this is that Mobei is the nest of northern nomads, and it is difficult for China to strike a decisive blow to it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw this, and he, despite the huge pressure, sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Mobei, completely solved the Xiongnu, and finally made the Xiongnu only exist in history textbooks.
"If the Turks want to retreat to Mobei, they will inevitably be hunted down by us, and they will pay a high price, and when they return to Mobei, it is difficult to say how much strength they have left. At that time, it was a question of whether the Turks would be able to gain a foothold in Mobei. Zhang Shuo continued: "Not to mention, even if the Turks retreat to Mobei, with His Majesty's majestic strategy, they will inevitably dispatch a large army like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack Mobei and completely solve the Turks." With the shrewdness of Mo Si, he would not fail to see this, yes, the Turks had no way to retreat, he could only fight. ”
"War? Well, we're worried that he won't fight. Zhang Xiaofei's face was happy.
"No!" Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "With Mo Si's shrewdness, he will not be stupid enough to engage us in an all-out war, he will choose to attack one or several ways." I thought that it was most likely that Dashuai and the King of Chu would be the first to patronize. ”
"Won't it?" Zhang Xiaofei was a little surprised.
"Dashuai has heavy protection there, and they are all elites, although Mo Si wants to fight, but he can't gnaw Dashuai, and he won't fight." Li Longji took over the conversation and said, "The size and length of my place are just right." Moreover, I am also the grandson of His Majesty and the third son of the emperor's heir, and if I are defeated, it will be of great benefit to the Turks. I guess it's time for the Turks to come. ”
"King Chu, it's easy to calculate." Pei Xiaoke, who was in charge of finding out the news, came flying and praised loudly, saying, "Tun Desire Valley is leading 50,000 elites towards us. ”
"Good! Well done! Zhang said loudly: "King Chu, in my opinion, those who come from the Valley of Desire are not good, and those who are good are not coming, and all he brings must be elites, and it is likely that there are strong crossbows." Therefore, we should not be hard-hitting, but should be ambushed. ”
