Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (6 I)
Volume VII Getaway Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (VIA)
But those who have rolled between life and death will not be too narrow-minded. Moreover, everyone is facing a common enemy at this time. So Wang Fubao changed his words slightly, and the Hedong soldiers no longer pursued him for hurting people, and a sudden storm was quietly resolved in laughter.
The military discussion was still presided over by Li Jiancheng, and all the good news he said. But Xuzi felt that some alcohol was up, and some very important military information was also heard from the left ear, and came out of the right ear in a blink of an eye, and it was difficult to have the slightest impression in his heart.
In Li Xu's impression, Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu are the only two veterans who still support Jiangdu in Hedong. After the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital retreated, the retreat of the two old generals was all blocked by Liu Hongji and Chai Shao, and the morale of his subordinates was bound to plummet. So when he heard that the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital had retreated, he immediately thought of the fate of Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu. And Li Jiancheng's answer just verified his inference, Qu Tutong completely lost confidence in the Great Sui, and even if Yaojun Subu could hold out for a few more days than Qu Tutong's department, it would not be able to avoid the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
This incident is great news for the Li family in Hedong and the defense line of the Great Wall. After Qu Tutong surrendered, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division could go north along the Shushui and Fen rivers to support Yanmen and Zhuo County, and there was no need to go around the big circle of Feng Yi County.
It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Yang Guang, who is far away in Jiangdu, will have no chance to return north? Although it was to defend against the Turkic invasion, Boling had to join forces with Hedong. But after careful calculation, I still failed him in the end! Thinking of this section, Li Xu felt gloomy in his heart.
If the current pace of development continues, I am afraid that within a year, there will be no prince in the world who has the strength to compete with Li Yuan. Within five years, the Central Plains will be reunited under the Li family. The Great Sui will cease to exist, and His Majesty the Emperor, who has caused countless disasters and given countless opportunities to himself, will have nowhere to stay. And he will become the military general of the Tang Dynasty family and the gravedigger of the Great Sui, surpassing the expectations of the two masters, and entering the phase. Slowly become the next Li Yuan, Xue Shixiong or Yu Wenshu.
Is all this what you want? Asahiko didn't know. He only felt very tired of some of the days he had experienced. I'm so tired that I don't want to repeat it. And how to keep these days from repeating, he can't find any way at present, so he can only go with the flow, taking one step at a time. Just as he once promised to give Shi Defang and others a future, in fact, where the future of the Boling Army is, he, the leader, does not know it himself.
At such a time, there is no master in the world who can provide him with guidance. Xuzi can only rely on himself to comprehend, to explore, and to bear all the confusion and confusion in the exploration. This confusion of being full of roads everywhere but not pointing to the end felt like a poisonous snake entangled him, making his limbs weak and the tip of his nose numb. It's like having a nightmare with your eyes open, always wanting to wake up, but you can't move.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, his behavior of not saying a word in the military conference will definitely attract attention. Soon, everyone stopped speaking and turned their eyes to him. Seeing that Xu Zi's face was gray and blue, and his sideburns were full of beads of sweat, Li Jiancheng immediately leaned over, probed his forehead like a brother, and asked with concern, "Is Zhong Jian too tired?" Why don't we discuss the rest of the military situation tomorrow, and you go back and rest first? ”
"Ah, oh, it's okay, let's go on!" Li Xu instinctively leaned back, avoiding Li Jiancheng's palm, and then quickly straightened his body and replied curtly.
"Actually, we're pretty much on it. General Li Shimin has reached a contract with Xue Ju and can rush to support at any time. If the general feels the need, make a decision about it! Shi Germany's mind turned quickly, and he guessed that his own coach must have gone out of the sky just now, and repeated the previous topic by asking for opinions.
"What Senior Chen meant was to let General Li Shimin stay as a backup and not rush to the front line. However, General Zhang thought that it was still difficult to estimate the current development of the situation, and that if one more army came, we would have a better chance of winning. Since General Li Shimin and Xue Ju have made peace, they should rush over immediately! Fang Yannian summarized the various points of view just now, and glanced at Li Jiancheng with the corner of his eye.
With the prompting of the two henchmen, Xuzi, who came back to his senses, immediately figured out the content of the controversy. Li Shimin led the right army under the command of Tang Wang to resist Xue Ju's attack, and this information was already in his possession. With the strength that Xue Tianwang showed at that time, the Boling army thought that it would be a vicious battle that would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser in a short period of time. However, Li Shimin was able to stabilize the situation immediately after arriving at Fufeng, which cannot be described as an unclever means. It's just that when the troops are not damaged, why can Xue Ju shake hands with Li Shimin and make peace? This is really puzzling. Unless someone can contain Xue Ju from behind, or Xue Tianwang also thinks that when the Turkic wolf rides south to knock on the pass, the heroes of the Central Plains really shouldn't fight to the death......
For the entire Great Wall defense line, none of this suspense mattered. The important thing at the moment is that Li Shimin has the ability to come to help, and Shizicheng obviously doesn't want his younger brother to get involved and steal the limelight to lead the crowd to resist external humiliation. Therefore, the final decision can only be made by Li Xu, the nominal commander, and only his qualifications and prestige can make the decision made, and all the people involved have nothing to say.
"I'm also in favor of letting the right army of the people of the world be used as a backup!" Li Xu groaned slightly, and then quickly gave the answer that many people wanted. Looking around at his colleagues, he clearly saw a look of joy on the faces of the generals of the left army. 'The estrangement between the Li brothers is getting deeper and deeper! He came to this conclusion in his heart, and at the same time, when he first met the Li Jiancheng brothers, the scene of Shimin's respect and attachment to the eldest brother quickly flashed in front of him.
"If the King of Tang allows, I suggest that General Li Shimin lead his troops and horses into Taiyuan!" After a pause, Li Xu added. He didn't want to get too involved in the dispute between Li Jiancheng's brothers, so he simply made a compromise and arranged for Li Shimin to lead his troops to Taiyuan to station. If the defense line of the Great Wall is urgent, Li Shimin can not only support Yanmen, but also take the Jingcheng Pass to support the six counties of Hebei. If the Ashina brothers were defeated in a battle, naturally there would be nothing to do with the right army ahead, and Li Jiancheng would not have to worry too much about his edge being covered by his younger brother.
"I'll repair the book overnight tonight, and send Zhong Jian's suggestion to Jingshi with eight hundred miles of expedited!" Li Jiancheng got what he wanted and said very happily.
"There is Lao Shizi!" Li Xu smiled and arched his hand.
After solving Li Shimin's big trouble, there will be no more debate on other issues. There was a shortage of equipment at the front, a lack of food and grass reserves, and the living conditions of the soldiers were very difficult, so all assistance from the rear was welcome. As for the strategy of dealing with foreign enemies, so far, the strategy of sending cavalry and a small number of troops to repeatedly attack outside the Great Wall has been effective, so Wang Xuba and the others, who have returned to the Red Castle, have to go out again, and clear out some of the tribes that came to fight the autumn wind in advance before Gu Turu's brigade is killed. As for the new movements on Luo Yi's side, Li Xu and Jiancheng also sent more soldiers to guard against it.
In addition, in view of the current ambiguous attitude of the Youzhou army, everyone had to send thousands of soldiers and horses to Shanggu to receive the grain that was about to be sent to the front line. After the grain ships arrived at the junction of Hejian County and Zhuo County, in order to prevent the Youzhou army from intercepting them, they could no longer take the canal, and could only go up against the Juma River, Laishui. The officers and soldiers and the people were to unload the grain at the southern foot of the Laishui bend and then move it by land to Huairong, the administrative center of Zhuo County.
Such a toss takes less than half a month longer than the fleet going directly to the North Canal and transporting it to Huairong through Jixian County and Sanggan River, and the loss along the way will also increase several times. But compared to being swallowed by Luo Yi, he was still much "lucky".
"I remember that General Wang once said that in this batch of grain, in addition to the part provided by Prince Dou, there are also people who have helped. I don't know who this person is, how can he have such a big hand? "Arrange the grain transportation and escort issues, Li Xu asked with a frown.
When talking about this matter during the day, Li Jiancheng and Wang Fubao obviously didn't want too many people to know the name and surname of the person who contributed to it. After repeated consideration, Li Xu was stunned to find that only one person could provide most of this batch of grain and grass alone as Wang Fubao introduced.
Only this person has so much surplus food on hand. Only this person has the ability to make Dou Jiande not doubt his intentions and smoothly provide all the convenience for the grain carrier. And this person's name is so familiar to Xuzi, and so hopeful, every time I think of it, a warmth swells up in my heart.
At this time, there were only three core figures left in the military tent, so Li Jiancheng didn't need to play tricks anymore, smiled, and replied in a low voice: "I know that Zhong Jian will inevitably ask this question." When Dou Wangye wrote a letter, he specially stated that this person hoped that this batch of grain and grass would be sent in the name of the Dou family's army. And Wang Ye Dou is a downright man, unwilling to take the credit of others. So everyone had to vaguely ......"
"It's the grain that was moved out of the Liyang warehouse! So, you know who sent it! Wang Fubao thought that Li Jiancheng was too long-winded, so he grabbed the conversation and said loudly.
The grain in the warehouse of Liyang in the Great Sui. With the grain of the Central Plains, raise the people who defend the land in the Central Plains. The person who delivered the grain did not think that he belonged to Wagang and was full of suspicion. He only remembered that he was from the Central Plains, and only remembered that his brother was fighting with the wolf rider on the plug.
