There are several tribes of the Ta people, some tribes obey the orders of our Tang Dynasty, and some of them surrender to a Goguryeo, and this time there are no less than 40,000 Tatar troops who accompanied the Goguryeo army to besiege Xiangping, which can not help but make Uncle Li angry.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since we have taken Xiangping, that is, Liaoyang City, Goguryeo has been in chaos, and now Goguryeo has attacked Xiangping with heavy troops, and moreover, a lot of troops have been withdrawn from various cities to resist the east bank of the Liao River near Xiangping City......" Li Daozong, as Uncle Li's cousin, stood up and analyzed the military situation for everyone, after Uncle Li sent a fire, he seemed to feel that he was a little excessive, and you can't blame people for the weather, Uncle Li stopped his mouth and watched Li Daozong analyze.

Li Daozong's finger fell on the west of Xiangping City, where the three rivers meet: "Zhang Jian's success in crossing the Liao River was due to the fact that the water of the Liao River did not rise, but now the water of the Liao River has risen sharply, and the Goguryeo Chen Chongbing on the other side of the river has rejected it, and if Your Majesty leads the army to cross the Liao River, it will be too difficult; Even if we cross the Liao River, Goguryeo on the other side must be heavily guarded, and we will still be unable to solve the dilemma of Xiangping, and I am afraid that there will be no progress for a while. In the art of war, it is said that the strange can win, and the minister thinks that if my army is stationed here, I want to pretend to cross Liao head-on, in order to paralyze the enemy, and my main force will cross Liao in a roundabout way, and choose a place on the east coast, so that it is convenient for my army to calmly unfold, and to copy Xiangping City with a fine cavalry, but also to make the enemy of Xiangping lose the opportunity to deal calmly, so that there are rangers on the side, and my Tang Dynasty heavy troops are approaching, Goguryeo and the Yan Ya Department will advance and retreat, and continue to attack Xiangping, then they will inevitably be cut off and trapped in the siege of our army. In that way, Zhang Jian, Lord Zhang, they will be safe. ”

"Hmm! It is feasible, the minister thinks that the king of Jiangxia has a very good strategy, and he will inevitably suffer great losses if he crosses the river by force, which is not good for me. Uncle Cheng on the side also spoke, at this time, the old comrades-in-arms were trapped in the lonely city, this group of veterans were all gloomy, 30,000 Tang army elites, if Xiangping was broken by Goguryeo and Yao, then Uncle Li would definitely be angry half to death.

When Uncle ---------------------------------------------------- Cheng studied tactics and strategies, his expression was much more serious than usual, and a pair of thick eyebrows frowned and continued: "...... Now, Goguryeo's troops are coming to Xiangping one after another, and within five days, the number of enemy troops under Xiangping City is afraid to double, and at that time, Zhang Jian is in danger. ”

As if they couldn't see this group of military bigwigs, the officers of the General Staff continued to be busy with their affairs, constantly comparing the various small flags with the materials in their hands and then moving or removing them, and they were presenting the troop arrangements of Goguryeo in Liaodong one by one in front of our eyes.

The Tang Dynasty military god, this time despite Uncle Li's dissuasion, Uncle Li Jing, who also took the initiative to join the ranks of the troops this time, stood up and nodded: "The old minister thinks ......" nodded and gently stroked along the trajectory of the Liao River: "There are two directions to cross the Liao River, one is the lower reaches of the Liao River, and the other is the upper reaches of the Liao River. The enemy downstream is heavily armed, the river is wider, and the coast is dangerous, and if it fails, it will have to retreat from the sea. Therefore, it is the next policy to cross the Liao downstream. However, crossing Liao from the upper reaches was raining heavily, and the roads were muddy, which was not conducive to marching, and I was afraid that I would miss a strange opportunity, and I did not know whether there were conditions for crossing the river upstream. ”

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come at the right time, so I rushed forward: "General Yu, this is the news that the last general just got, the Liao River, can be crossed." ”

"What?!" All the generals exclaimed in surprise, all of them looked at me, surprise and doubt were written on their faces, "Virtuous son-in-law, what are you talking about, could it be that you went to eat and drink just now, the old man and others have already inspected dozens of miles along the river, the river is rising sharply, and there is no beach to cross......" Uncle Cheng was still waiting to say more, Uncle Li raised his hand to signal Uncle Cheng to stop, looked at me in surprise and said: "You said that the Liao River can be crossed, is this a lie?!" Lying about the military is no joke. ”

...... "I'm dizzy, who are these people, could it be that when you look at me young, you think my mouth is not solid?"

"There is not a word in the end." I nodded solemnly, and pointed to the sand table, along the line of the Liao River: "If you want to make a roundabout flank attack, there are conditions for crossing Liao upstream, this bridge is located a hundred miles north of Xiangping City, where there is a pontoon bridge built by Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goryeo, according to the detailed report of the Jinjuyuan, it is still there today, Goguryeo did not send troops to garrison, at the moment, dozens of spies from my Jinjuyuan are secretly guarding the pontoon bridge, and after the news is finally obtained, they will immediately fly to report." ”

When Uncle Li and the big guys heard this, their eyebrows fluttered, and Uncle Cheng, the old rascal who was talking nonsense just now, slapped his hand and said: "Okay! The virtuous son-in-law is a young descendant, good looking, worthy of being the son-in-law of my old Cheng family, such a secret information has also been sorted out for you, so scared that the old man still thinks you kidding. ”

"How dare the son-in-law joke about this kind of military situation." I was very depressed and said, I didn't come here to talk nonsense and find smoke. Uncle Li didn't have the heart to compete with Uncle Cheng for a son-in-law for the time being, and moved his eyes to Li Jing, the undefeated military god who won all battles.

Li Jing watched the sand table for a long time without saying a word, and Fang Zi said in a deep voice: "The old minister thinks that he can order a small number of troops, go out of Liucheng, make a pretence, and march to the south end of the Liao River with great fanfare, and carry river crossing equipment, inducing Goguryeo to think that the main force of our Tang Dynasty is going to cross the Liao River by forceAfter the main force of our army crossed the Liaoshui from this, it attacked Xuansu in one fell swoop, and if Xuansu was broken, my Datang had two strongholds in the east of the Liaohe River, echoing Xiangpingyao, which would surely shock the whole army of Goguryeo, and the entire Liaohe defense line would collapse without a fight. ”

Su Dingfang couldn't help but say: "The last general is willing to lead more than 10,000 elite cavalry, copy the back road of the Goguryeo army, attack its army, and make it a dilemma. ”

---------------------------------------------------- Uncle Li Jing heard this, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "Hehehe, good, Dingfang's strategy is very good, in this way, the Goguryeo side will lose a large army as soon as the war starts, and if it breaks its general, it will inevitably suffer a big demoralization. ”

The Duke of Liao is also Gao Wu, this poor former Goguryeo king who only wants to avenge his family has now become a very useful chess piece in Uncle Li's hands.

"Well, Aiqing's plan is accurate. Listen to the generals! Uncle Li glanced at the generals with high morale and began to assign tasks, Uncle Li Jing was old, and he was no longer suitable for long-distance raids and continuous battles, Uncle Li asked him to calm the west bank of the Liao River, and confront the Goguryeo army on the east side of the Liao River outside Xiangping City, and Li Daozong led an army with river-crossing equipment and advanced to the south end of the Liao River to Huaiyuan with great fanfare, as if he wanted to force the crossing, and ordered Li Ji to lead the main force, with Su Dingfang as the vanguard, to bypass the north of the Liao River, cross the Liao River through the pontoon bridge, and attack Xuansu, and I, He led the elites of the Datang Military Academy, followed the army, and was ready to capture Xuansu at any time, because the latest siege equipment is only available to us and will use.

After the assignment was completed, we had a good night's rest that night, and the next day we immediately drove north of the Liao River, and as for the Taoist leaders, they continued to follow our team and continue to follow up. And I, as the chief officer of the Jinju Academy and the head of the Datang Intelligence Department, were rushing straight to the Liaohe pontoon bridge hundreds of miles away together with the intelligence officers of the Jinju Academy who came to lead the way and the more than 10,000 elite horsemen led by Su Dingfang.

I'm glad that I rode the BMW Chijiner given to me by Uncle Li, although it was lightning fast, but it was very stable, Rao was so, I also choked enough, Su Dingfang and others on the side rode more than a step higher than me, and they could talk and laugh while running, which really made me feel ashamed.

Although we detoured and walked dozens of miles, at noon, we had already arrived at the position north of the Liaohe River, but the banks of the river in front of us were densely packed with tall trees, and we couldn't see the road and the river at all. Everyone coincidentally stopped their horses in front of an open field, and the guide sent by Xu Hao rode out: "Your Excellency, please wait, my subordinates will go over and take a look first." ”

"Well, go ahead, be careful, if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately, don't delay." I nodded, and watched as he jumped off his horse and disappeared into the forest like an ape. Su Dingfang, who was on the side, patted the neck of his mount and leaned over to me and said, "Brother Xian, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?" ”

"Probably not, the pontoon bridge here is a location they only found a few days ago, it is very hidden, it is difficult for ordinary people to find unless they are standing by the river, and there are no villages and towns in this area, and the probability of being discovered by the people is not very high." I smiled at Su Dingfang on the side, looked back, the sky behind me was full of dust, and my ears were full of deafening hooves, and the flag riders not far behind me were holding the Datang Blood Dragon Banner that was waving in the wind, and in the distance, 10,000 of the most elite iron horses of the Tang Dynasty were arriving one after another, and the sunlight reflected by the new Mingguang armor on the body was as dazzling as 10,000 suns rising on the ground......
