Chapter 122: Hezhou Strategy (3)
At this time, he was about to enter the Chinese army, Li He was surprised by Zheng Lu's surprise, and asked:
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
Zheng Lu saw that there were people around, so he whispered:
"Let's wait until you're done changing."
When Li He figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he said:
"It's time to do it in the next few days."
Zheng Luqi said:
"How do you know? Could it be that the marshal once told you? ”
Li He shook his head and said:
"This kind of military aircraft event, where will the marshal tell me, it's just a random guess when I have nothing to do."
"Oh?"
Li He said:
"First, because of the weather, this place is not as good as Guanzhong, once the wind and snow fall on the big battle of more than 100,000 people, it will be difficult to schedule, and secondly, because of morale, the anger can be drummed up but not discharged, after so many days of confrontation, if you don't fight, the morale of both sides will be discharged. Third, because the Tubo people can't afford to wait, the 100,000 troops of the right route army point to Shanzhou, if the situation can not be opened in the short Lizang, I am afraid that Shanzhou will be lost, on the contrary, if we can defeat our army in Lintao and approach Qinzhou, the pass will definitely be shaken, and the left army has to return to the division, then the short Lizang is a great achievement. ”
Zheng Lu suddenly realized and said:
"No wonder Liang Gong is in his chest."
He also told Li He about the letter sent by Hao Wei asking Li Yu to quickly send troops to Hezhou, and said:
"Liang Gong doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."
Li He said:
"The king of Baoding has been recuperating in Lanzhou for more than ten days, and it is time to march into Shanzhou, and it is also time to ask for the protection of the flanks. But he doesn't have to worry, from Lanzhou to Shanzhou, according to the army traveling 30 miles a day, it will not be possible to arrive in 20 days, not to mention the constant fighting on the road? When he arrived at the city of Lanzhou, I was afraid that our army had preliminarily pacified Hezhou. Liang Gong has been building momentum for so many days, and Tubo has been led by Liang Gong's nose, so we just have to do what Liang Gong instructs. ”
In Didao City, with the beating of the drum of the generals, the civil and military officials of the Left Route Army flocked into the original Lintao Prefecture Thorn History Mansion that was changed to the Shuai Ya, and after the generals stood in shifts, the deputy marshal of Longyouxingtai, the head of the Left Route Army, and the Duke of Liangguo Li Yu sat in the hall. Marquis Yu Liu Yanping held the Lingqi and the arrow in his arms, standing behind Li Yu.
"See the deputy marshal!"
All the generals saluted together. Li Yu said majestically:
"Excuse me."
After the generals sat down, Li Yu opened the sect and made it clear, went straight to the topic, and said:
"Generals, my lords, this marshal's promotion today is to discuss the matter of fighting with the Tubo army."
After grinding for so long, they are finally going to fight, the generals were excited, and even Li He, who was sitting at the end of the tent, had a flushed face, Zheng Lu quietly glanced at Li He and sent an admiring look, but Li He didn't care at all, and his attention was all on Li Yu's words:
"•••••• Lun Lizang sent a war letter to Ben Shuai, asking our army to fight a decisive battle under Di Dao City in three days, and Ben Shuai has already agreed to him."
After a brief briefing on the situation, Li Yu said:
"This marshal by His Majesty's great grace, the country's great trust, since the division, do not dare to slack off, daily calculations, now the Tubo River Huang elite all gathered on the other side of the water, it is a good time for our army to fight and appease. When the generals go back, they must mobilize their soldiers and boost their morale. In wartime, the commander and you will move forward side by side. The war dead were their parents and their children. If there are those who are afraid to avoid the battle, do not move forward in the face of the enemy, keep scheduling, disturb the morale of the army, and escape from the battle, the commander will not be forgiven. ”
The civil and military officials who had been sitting down got up and said:
"Sent by the Deputy Marshal!"
There are more generals who say:
"Liang Gong, since the soldiers entered Lintao, every day is the tragic situation of the Han slaves, no need to be inspired, the morale is already abundant, please rest assured that Liang Gong, in wartime, there are only warriors who die in battle, and there are no cowards who expose their backs to the enemy."
Li Yu motioned for everyone to sit down, and seeing that the morale of the generals was high, he encouraged:
"For today's war, our army has been preparing for a long time, last year Deputy Marshal Hao broke the Tubo army, the Tubo River Huang army was damaged, although the Tubo royal court from all over the country to replenish a lot of elites, but it has lost its former momentum. Our army is the army of the Tang Dynasty, recovering the homeland, rescuing the people, and righteousness is in me. Now our left army is waiting for work, although the enemy army is numerous, why be afraid? ”
Wang Maoyuan said:
"Deputy Marshal, I understand the reason, I am invincible in this battle, please assign it to the Deputy Marshal."
Li Yu said:
"Good. Wang Maoyuan! ”
Wang Maoyuan got up and said:
"On the day of the battle, your first army will be the left army. This commander wants you to show weakness to the enemy and attract the enemy army to attack, do you dare? ”
This is a loss-making business, Wang Maoyuan said:
"The last general will fight to the death."
After that, he took the arrow from Li Yu's hand. Li Yu said again:
"Li You!"
Li You got up and said:
"The last general!"
"You command the Second Army as the Right Army."
Li Youdao:
"The last will obey."
also took over the arrow from Li Yu. Then Li Yu was led by Ye Shiliangfu outside, so Bai Zuwang was the soldiers and horses of the 11th Army and stayed behind to guard Di Dao, Bai Zuwang refused to live or die, and said:
"When the soldiers and horses sent out the division, they had already expected this time, so they instructed the last general not to fall into the prestige of the eleventh army, otherwise the last general would raise his head to see him. Our 11th Army has been on the border for a long time, and is most familiar with the tactics of Tibet, so I asked the deputy marshal to take the army as the front army. ”
Li Yu had no choice but to allow the 11th Army to be the front army. Then the 12th Army was assigned as the central army, and the 1st Guards Army under Wang Dahai was the rear army. The 72nd Army of the Tun Army and the newly formed Lintao County soldiers stayed in Didao and were on standby at any time.
After the assignment stopped, he suddenly heard a roar outside the Shuai Ya that shook the roof tiles:
"Why, did the deputy marshal forget about my Rebel Army?"
The person who came was none other than Liu Shu, the assassin of Qinzhou and the envoy of the Baoyi Army. The famous general Gao Chongwen was most feared in the armies of western Beijing, and Liu Shu's Qinzhou soldiers, Li recited a sentence
"If you don't fight well, use Liu Shu to replace you" forced Gao Chongwen to dissipate his desire to attack and invite rewards, and the Xichuan rebellion was quelled in a few months. Gao Chongwen has become a famous general in the universe, and Liu Shu, in addition to the envoy of the Righteous Army, has only defended the land for many years, which makes the people with lofty ideals sad.
