In Jinyang City, the generals are cheering for Qin Qiong's arrival, and the Datang God of War is as brave as it was back then! Only Cheng Yanjin, who was familiar with Qin Shubao, had a strange face, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say.

"Marshal, the battle damage statistics have come out, our army has lost 8,000 casualties, killed 30,000 enemy troops, and now the enemy has retreated fifty miles." The adjutant general came to report.

Chai Shao laughed and said: "Haha, big victory, Dashuai's battle is really happy, should we beat the water dog and catch up and beat him on the donkey's ......day."

Li Jing pressed everyone, "Don't be impatient, this battle has not hurt the enemy's muscles and bones, the whole army has been repaired for three days, and a celebration banquet will be held tonight." ”

In private, Cheng Yanjin grabbed Qin Qiong and finally asked the doubts in his heart, "Second brother, how do I feel that your combat power is much stronger than before?" We fought against the Turkic Right Virtuous King a few days ago, and it was very difficult to entangle. ”

Qin Shubao smiled and said in a low voice: "Because brother, I have a secret trick." ”

"Hey, who doesn't know that the second brother's trick is a trump card? In addition, there is a little-known spear and sword master, but you didn't use these two tricks today. I smell a faint smell of wine on you, didn't you drink Goro's God of War wine? Cheng bit the golden rooster thief's guess.

…… Qin Shubao looked at the other party in a daze, "They all say that you kid is a rammer, I don't think so, you are the most shrewd one in Datang, and you guessed it." ”

"Where is it, the younger brother is just familiar with wine, second brother, do you still have the God of War wine, give me some relief to relieve my hunger...... Don't go, second brother, why are you going? ”

"I caught a prisoner today, it's very weird, I'll go and see, will you go?"

"Go, I'll go if I have wine."

……

Two days later, Li Ji rushed into the Shuai Mansion in a panic, "Pharmacist, something happened!" ”

Li Jing, who was studying strategy in front of the map, looked up in surprise, "What's wrong Mao Gong, what made you so panicked?" The Turks are calling? ”

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Yes, but this is not the point. Our secret stake found that after the battle the day before yesterday, the Turks seemed to have lost some of their soldiers and horses. ”

"What? How much? Why only now? What do they eat? Li Jing shouted angrily.

"About thirty thousand to forty thousand! The reason why there was no immediate detection was because the enemy deliberately delayed the efficiency of the gathering of troops, and after the battle, both of us were gathering the remnants and cleaning up the battlefield, which took time, and it was difficult to see the specific situation until it was completely gathered in place.

Pharmacist, we may have fallen for it. Li Ji's face was ugly.

Li Jing also had a gloomy face, nodded and said, "It's not possible, it's definitely a trick." If I'm not mistaken, at this time, the Turkic Jieli army has completely surrounded us, right? ”

Li Ji didn't speak, and nodded.

"That is to say, his 40,000 army sneaked away that day and went straight to Chang'an......"

"I'm afraid so, I can't think of anything else they're going to do."

Li Jing sat back in the handsome chair weakly, slapped his palm on the table, and said hatefully: "Fighting geese all day long, I never thought that the old man would also have a time when he lost his eyes, this battle was my carelessness, and it was calculated by the Turkic barbarians." There are high-ranking people in the opposing army, but have you ever found out who is helping them? ”

"No, I only know that he is a Han military advisor, but the other party is very good at hiding." Li Ji shook his head.

"Damn, we didn't even know who our opponent was after fighting for a long time. It is not easy to be able to understand the situation and the geography of the mountains and rivers in Datang so well, and to calculate our plans in advance step by step.

We have His Royal Highness the King of Qin who predicted the invasion of the other party in advance, so that we can gather 100,000 troops to block the enemy. Now it seems that the other party has also changed its strategy and cannot treat it as an ordinary barbarian. Fortunately, there are still 20,000 Imperial Forest troops in Chang'an, and only 40,000 Turkic barbarians, which cannot become a climate. ”

Li Ji asked: "Pharmacist, there is one thing you don't know, the 10,000 people brought by Shubao were transferred from the defense of Chang'an City by His Majesty through gritted teeth, and now, there are only 10,000 defenders left in Chang'an City. ”

What??? Your Majesty is confused! Why didn't Uncle Bao dissuade His Majesty? Li Jing exclaimed.

Li Ji sighed and said: "It's not that Uncle Bao didn't know the severity and didn't dissuade him, but His Majesty knew that we didn't have the patience to fight for a quick victory." I think that even the Turks don't necessarily know about this, if they deliberately drag us and want to transfer the defenders of Chang'an away and make Chang'an empty, then the people on the other side will be too terrible. And how could he be sure that His Majesty would definitely transfer troops? I don't think so. ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Jing analyzed: "If it is said that it was an accident that Shubao led the troops out, then what kind of confidence did the opponent pretend to plan these 40,000 soldiers and horses to seize Chang'an?" Let him think that 40,000 troops can take Chang'an? I think that there is only one way to do it, and in addition, I can't think of any other tricks, because our 20,000 troops are defending the city, and with 40,000 people, he can't capture Chang'an Jiancheng in a year. ”

"Yes, pharmacist, you have the same opinion as me, there must be an internal response." Li Ji agreed.

"I'll send a secret letter to Chang'an for eight hundred miles to remind Your Majesty of your attention, I hope I can catch up."

"What about the 130,000 troops surrounding us in front of us? We can't just watch them attack Chang'an and be indifferent, right? Li Ji asked.

Li Jing's eyes were cold, and he said with a firm expression: "Indifferent? Hum! The enemy will calculate us, then we will draw a gourd in the same way, and give him a brother to calculate.

Didn't they want to capture Chang'an? Don't leave it alone, I believe that Your Majesty's eloquence will definitely be able to deal with it, and even if it is only 40,000 people, even if it is captured, it will be in vain without backup.

I mean, once again in a decisive battle with the 130,000 barbarians in front of us, as long as we defeat the main force of Jieli, the 40,000 people who went to attack Chang'an will become rootless, and there is no evidence, we can also turn around and outflank them. ”

Li Ji stroked his palms and praised: "Put it to death and come back to life, wonderful!" Admire! Jieli thought that we would desperately break through to the south to rescue, I think they must focus on the south, and even have an ambush, so we will fight desperately to the north, not for the purpose of highlighting the encirclement, just to kill and injure the enemy and disable his main force, Jieli can't afford to make waves even if he wants to make trouble. ”

The two of them were right, and this was exactly the strategy that Zhao Deyan gave Jieli.

Since the Tang Dynasty sent 100,000 troops to hold back the pace of the Turkic 200,000 troops, then we will also hold you down, and then send cavalry to raid Chang'an, which is empty in air defense.

Regardless of whether Chang'an can be broken or not, the opposing army will be in chaos because of this, because Chang'an is the capital, and the 100,000 army is almost the entire military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for them not to return to help. In this way, in the ensuing war, Datang will be led away by the nose by the Turkic side.

After hearing this strategy, the Turkic Khan was overjoyed and rewarded Zhao Deyan on the spot, and did not blame the other party for transferring troops and horses without permission, because this matter must be kept secret, and it was the Turkic most shrewd military general Zuo Xianwang who was sent.

It would not be a bad thing to endanger the Turks if King Zuo Xian agreed to act privately from the Great Khan, because King Zuo Xian was the most trusted number one diehard. In terms of knowing people and being good at their duties, this Turkic Khan Jieli can definitely be called a famous hero.
