When Luo Shixin learned that the Xi clan was separated from each other, he couldn't help but swing his fist at the air, and every qiē was under control.

The key to this battle is to recapture Yuyang, and only by recapturing Yuyang and holding Yuyang can it be considered victory. If you were someone else, you would definitely stop here after the surprise attack on Yuyang. The strategic purpose is greater than one qiē, to control Yuyang in hand, to use it as a base, to consolidate the defense line of the Great Wall is the last word, and only in this way is the long-term solution.

If there is an accident because of this, and the director zhì Yuyang fails to win, it will make a qiē work wasted. Even if you win a battle elsewhere, it doesn't matter how beautiful you win, and Youzhou will be attacked the same way next year.

This is also the importance of strategy, which is far more important than tactics and momentary victory.

The historical Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's survival zài perfectly interprets this point: Xiang Yu is invincible and invincible, but because of strategic mistakes, Liu Bang is defeated in a hundred battles, but because of strategic victories, he is stronger and stronger, and finally succeeds in one fell swoop, forcing the invincible overlord of Western Chu to kill himself in Wujiang.

Luo Shixin didn't see through this, and he didn't know the importance of strategy, but he just couldn't be rational enough to let go of the fire in his heart.

The Xi people invaded, burned, killed and looted, destroyed the Chinese homeland, killed the Chinese compatriots, and robbed the materials exchanged for the blood and sweat of the people, and he was unwilling to let the Xi people leave safely with the loot they had robbed.

Even if he knew that controlling Yuyang 100% was the right choice, he didn't want to choose. Especially after the tragic situation in Gu'an County, it has strengthened its determination to repay the blood debt.

Therefore, Luo Shixin's initial consideration was not how to achieve the strategic location of occupying Yuyang. Rather, it is to complete this strategic goal and occupy Yuyang at the same time. He also wants to let the Xi people know that Datang is not a place where he can come and leave whenever he wants.

With the strength of Roshison. With the strength in his hands, he was able to unceremoniously defy Gao Kaidao or the Xi army. It wasn't very difficult for him to do anything. However, with 50,000 soldiers, it is necessary to take Yuyang and defeat the Xi army, and the difficulty has risen geometrically, which is not a simple physical formula that one plus one equals two. Mixing them together may also lead to the Turkic behemoth, making the situation even more confusing.

Because there are all kinds of concerns. How to kill two birds with one stone is a problem that Luo Shixin has been considering all the way, and after thinking about it, he finally grasped the small problem of the Xi people and the generals of Gao Kaidao who have different positions. This plan was drawn up.

Gao Kaidao's survival is fundamentally Yuyang, so for Yuyang, he can spell out his own qiē.

But the Xi people are different, they are full of harvest. The aim is to withdraw to the steppe as much as possible. The supplies they plundered were loaded in wagons by horses and camels. The speed of the march was greatly reduced, and the speed of movement was slower than that of the Tang army's foot soldiers. In this case, letting Tang Bing entangle will bring them immeasurable losses. If they go to help Gao Kaidao, it means that they will be caught up by 50,000 Tang troops. At that time, Gao Kaidao occupied Yuyang and sat back and relax, how could they get rid of the Tang Army that had already followed? Do you still expect Gao Kaidao to abandon Yuyang's guards, and what will not be possible to escort along the way? There is also an attack on Yuyang in Gaokaidao, and the Turks will definitely come to the fate when they get the news. If the Turks saw that they had received so much booty, who could guarantee that they would not covet them?

Luo Shixin unfolded the idea of empathy. From the perspective of Gao Kaidao and King Xi, he realized that this first cooperation between them had all kinds of contradictions with each other. It's not that there's a lack of trust, it's that there's no such thing as trust at all. Connected together because of the drive of interests, interests are broken, and the relationship between them is undoubtedly broken.

Sensing this, Luo Shixin also boldly launched the layout, first went to Yuyang to cut off the relationship between them, and made them separate them from each other because of the internal strife driven by interests, and broke them one by one.

When Luo Shixin went to Goguryeo, in order to avoid the territory of Gaokaidao, he made a long detour from the Pansnake Valley to bypass Yuyang and go east through the grassland. He walked through the Snake Valley, knowing that it was the only passage to the grassland except for Yuyang, the terrain was dangerous, extremely difficult to walk, suitable for ambush soldiers, and it would also be a necessary place for the Xi people at that time.

After breaking the Xi tribe, and then returning to attack Yuyang. Yuyang has no food and grass, no city gate, and no city guarding equipment, and even the arrows Luo Shixin let Su Dingfang bring what he can bring, and destroy what he can't. Even if Gao Kaidao temporarily repaired the city gate and got some simple defensive equipment, with their 10,000 soldiers, it would be difficult to resist the elite in Luo Shixin's hands.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Luo Shixin knew that the plan could not catch up with the changes, and he was not 100% sure that there would be infighting between the Xi clan and Gao Kaidao, and his heart was also pinched.

This got the exact news, and the boulder in my heart finally landed.

"Keep up and speed up the march!" Luo Shixin has the spirit of a general to win a thousand miles, and with a whip and a finger, the three armies move immediately.

**********

After the separation of King Xi Ah Huiru and Gao Kaidao, the pain of losing a child was much less.

In fact, he is not really heartbroken son, the grassland people have the habit of eating the jungle, and they look at life and death very lightly. Ah Hui didn't have only one son, but this time the raid was unusually smooth, but in the end, he killed his son alone, and he was severely punished, and his heart was very unbalanced.

Now that Gao Kaidao's Yuyang has fallen, Gao Kaidao's price is ten times higher than his, and naturally his imbalance has been washed away, and he has become gloating.

He knew that it was the Turks who rejected Gao Kaidao's intention to plunder Youzhou to choose their Xi tribe, although this time they had a bumper harvest, and they didn't know when it would be their turn next time. Anyway, it was the Turks who suffered in the end, and he really didn't care who Yuyang was in at the moment.

At this moment, he only cares about what he gets in front of him, and bringing this wealth back to the clan can ensure the basic expenses of the tribe for two years.

In a good mood, Ah Huiruo talked and laughed with the big chief beside him, talking about his yearning for the future of the tribe.

"King Xi ......" While they were talking about the rise, a scout with a large and small package on his body behind him came to the front panting, and shouted: "Oh no, Tang Bing Tang Bing has caught up, just behind us." ”

Ah Huiruo's expression changed greatly, and he whispered: "How is it possible! "As the king of the clan, Ah Huiluo still has a certain military level, and according to the current situation, how Li Tang controls Yuyang is the first priority. He expected in his heart that as long as he led the Xi clan to part ways with Gao Kaidao, Li Tang would definitely be overjoyed to cover up the past with Gao Kaidao, and use the absolute superiority in troops to control the strategic place of Yuyang.

He couldn't have imagined that the Tang Army would follow him all the way to kill, could it be that the commanders of the Tang Army were all fools, and Yuyang couldn't see such a key strategic location?

"Is it because I killed the fire and aroused that Luo Shixin's temper?" This thought flashed in Ah Huiruo's heart, and he cried bitterly in his heart, knowing that he shouldn't have fought that battle in the first place today, and how good it would be to retreat with peace of mind.

"I'm afraid of a bird!" The chief of the Duji tribe, Chang Jihu, spat and scolded: "This group of rabbit cubs is really easy to bully when Lao Tzu is really there." King, why don't we go up and let them know how powerful our Xi warriors are. I thought it would be great to be able to win a Turkic miscellaneous, if our Xi people didn't have a population that couldn't compare to their Turkic miscellaneous, they would be arrogant there. ”

The chief of the Ao Lost Division, Ao Shunan, smiled bitterly and said, "Fight, what are we going to fight!" Look at our soldiers......"

Du Jihu glanced left and right, dumbfounded.

Originally, they plundered Youzhou, and there were specific warehouses to send soldiers and horses to guard the supplies, and they didn't know how much they had gained. Now that they had fully retreated, they found that they could not carry nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses with the food, money, treasures, and equipment they had plundered. Had to throw away some cheap supplies, but even so. They are also human on horseback, and even the scouts who are mobile are jingling.

Unless they threw away all the looted materials, the Xi soldiers would not have the strength to fight at all.

"Withdraw!" Ah Hui shouted: "Let's go faster, in front of us is the Valley of the Snake, I have been here in the early years, the road there is like a big snake, crooked, not easy to walk, easy to defend, not conducive to attack." We rushed to the Valley of the Snake first, leaving some people to guard the mouth of the valley. The others marched through the Valley of the Snake with all their supplies. As long as we cross the Snake Valley, and there is a grassland on the opposite side, I don't believe that Naros has the courage to go deep into the grassland to pursue us. ”

Ao Shennan and Du Jihu were both called wonderful, shouting orders to go down and speed up the march.

People were tired, and Ah Huiruo and his party finally arrived in the Valley of the Snake.

In the earliest Spring and Autumn period, the Snake Valley was originally a steep mountain, and there was no road to the grassland. In the past, the Yan Kingdom repaired the Great Wall and did not build a pass here, until the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because of a strong earthquake that caused the earth's crust to shift, a good mountain collapsed and fractured there was an additional dangerous road. Then let Orion discover that it has become a military secret passage, and after a hundred years, this secret passage has become like the Meridian Valley, and everyone knows it.

Because the Turks held the gateway to the Tang Dynasty, and the invasion took the right way, this military secret road became a useless waste road, and only a few daring businessmen who evaded taxes would pass by here at the risk of encountering gangsters.

When he came to the Valley of the Snake, Ah Huiruo wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, his vest was soaked, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Carrying too much weight, their speed made the Tang army led by Luo Shixin approach step by step, and he had been worried about letting the Tang army catch up before reaching the Snake Valley, forcing them to abandon all their supplies and fight.

Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to himself, no matter what the victory or defeat is, is not what he wants to see.

Now that I have entered the Snake Valley, there is a road in front and a barrier in the back, and the victory is in hand, and the feeling of the whole person is different.

Ah Huiruo commanded Ruoding: "Leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the main roads of the Snake Valley, and the rest of the people will take all the supplies and continue to hurry." (To be continued......)
