Chapter Eighty-Six: A Chance to Turn the Tables
As long as the first two sieges can be blocked, the major festival envoys will definitely pass the buck to each other, and the local clans will definitely not be able to work.
If all the soldiers are sent to Guanzhong to fight, the local defense will definitely be useless.
Ambitious people will take advantage of the situation, like An Lushan, and enemy countries will also take the opportunity to attack.
The soldiers brought by the Jiedu envoy are all locals, and they will definitely go back to defend their homeland.
And this is what Li Mao said about people.
It is also a chance for him to persevere.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
The officials of the temple bowed down to the ground.
Especially Li Linfu is even more convinced.
After personally operating the surrender of An Lushan, he learned more about the ambitions of the generals in various places.
"Everyone loves Qing's body!"
Li Mao glanced around, and was quite satisfied in her heart.
As long as they can give them hope, these people will be motivated to do things.
"This year's guards of Tongguan, I am ready to continue to use Gao Shun. He is calm-minded, cautious in the use of troops, and has Tongguan in hand, even if Hedong, Fanyang and other places do their best to attack, they can hold Tongguan in a short time. ”
The most important place, of course, has to use the most trusted generals.
And Gao Shun, who is rewarded by the system, is the most trustworthy person, at least he will not abandon the level and run away.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
All the officials in the hall shouted in unison.
They also heard Li Mao's trust in Gao Shun.
"Scattered guards, I am ready to use Li Guangbi. Gao Shun wrote to say that this person is very talented and can be independent. The main purpose of Sanguan is to guard against the attack of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and he should be able to defend it. ”
During this time, Li Mao also remembered who Li Guangbi was.
Historical records record that he was resourceful, governed the army majestically and well, and was good at winning by surprise, winning more with less.
With Guo Ziyi, he is known as "Li Guo", and is known as "since the difficulties have come, only Guangbi marches to govern the army, Shen Yi has a strategy, and he is the first among the generals".
In addition, he is also the author of three military books: "The Law of Generals", "The Secret Strategy of the Spiritual Jurisdiction of the Army" and "The Legend of Li Linhuai".
It can be said that Li Guangbi was one of the most powerful generals in the Middle and Tang Dynasty.
For such fierce people, Li Mao will naturally gradually promote and reuse.
It's just that it's not sure of its loyalty, so naturally it won't be arranged in the most critical position.
The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!
From Shu to attack Guanzhong, only Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, has succeeded since ancient times.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Chencang Road was still connected by waterways, so there was not much pressure on logistics and supplies.
However, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, due to the turning of the earth dragon, the mountain situation changed, and the road became more rugged.
Therefore, even if Zhuge Wuhou came out of Qishan, he still could not attack Chang'an.
Li Mao didn't believe that the Jiannan Festival at this time was even more powerful than Zhuge Wuhou!
"My Emperor Shengming!"
Naturally, the ministers would not have a problem with this appointment.
Even people like Li Linfu who don't know how to learn and don't know how to do it know that the location of Sanguan is very safe, and there is no need to worry about it at all.
Even if it is temporarily broken, the enemy will not have many troops to enter the pass.
Li Mao continued to look at the map.
There are still Wuguan and Xiao Guan left, and there are no generals in charge.
Wuguan doesn't have to worry.
The south has been peaceful for a long time, and except for the Lingnan Jiedu envoy who is far away, Li Longji has almost no field troops that can be used.
He only needs to send a person with a little ability, and then arrange a prison army.
"In this way, I plan to send Ge Shuhan to Wuguan as a guard, and at the same time arrange for Zhang Youfu to supervise the army."
In the Tang Dynasty, it was common for the emperor to send eunuchs out to supervise the army.
The ministers are accustomed to this, and naturally they will not jump out to oppose it.
It's just that they don't know what Goshuhan is capable of yet.
After the officials in the palace exchanged glances, Li Linfu finally asked: "Your Majesty, Ge Shuhan has never led the troops alone, do you need to reconsider the candidate?" ”
"No, I've made up my mind!" Li Mao saw that he was going to take the initiative to recommend the leading general, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Just kidding, the person recommended by the traitor, how dare he use it with confidence?
However, Li Mao suddenly thought that Li Guangbi was also not famous before, why didn't the ministers stop it?
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Li Guangbi has never led troops alone before, how do you know that he can do it?" ”
Xiao Song was the first to speak, "Back to Your Majesty, Li Guangbi is from the Li clan in Liucheng, although he was born in the Khitan, his father Li Kailuo was originally the leader of the Khitan tribe, and he was tired of being the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and was named the Duke of Jiguo, known for his courage and good fighting, and finally died in battle when attacking the Turks. ”
"I didn't expect Li Guangbi to be a loyal general!"
Li Mao immediately understood what the ministers meant.
That is, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of fierce generals are born to fight.
Just like those scholars in Zhao State, it means that Zhao Kuo can win the battle.
This kind of thinking has existed since ancient times, and Li Mao has no intention of correcting their thoughts, and continues to point to the map and say, "Another important place is Xiao Guan. ”
"I'm going to let Lu Bu personally bring the forbidden army of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya to go."
Outside Xiaoguan, there are more than 200,000 troops from Hexi Jiedu, Longyou Jiedu, and Shuofang Jiedu.
Even if the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya poured out, there were only 100,000 people.
And Xiaoguan is not like Tongguan, the terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Li Mao can be said to have gambled everything on Xiao Guan.
If Xiao Pass is lost, the Guanzhong area will be in no danger to defend, and more than 200,000 experienced Tang Western troops will drive straight in.
Li Mao also has no skills to deal with this.
Unless he can summon the Great Meteorite Technique like Liu Xiu, the son of the plane.
Thinking of this, he thought of Wang Mang of the new dynasty.
It is rumored that this person was also a traverser, also advocated reform, and also invented vernier calipers, bearings and other advanced technologies.
As a result, the traverser Wang Mang was still defeated by Liu Xiu, the son of the plane.
"There shouldn't be a plane son Li Xiu in Datang, right?"
Li Mao was muttering to herself.
The voice was very small, and only Zhao Gao beside him could hear it clearly.
He also thought that the emperor was talking about someone, and secretly thought that he would also learn from Li Linfu's spirit, share his worries for the emperor, and find the person named Li Xiu.
Soon after, the people named Li Xiu in the entire Guanzhong area were all unlucky.
Li Mao turned his back to Zhao Gao, of course he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that today's matter had been dealt with, he said, "It's almost time, let's eat with me!" ”
"Starting tomorrow, I hope you will work together with me to calm the world as soon as possible."
As soon as the words fell.
The palace maid who had been waiting outside the hall hurriedly walked in with pots of gruel.
When the officials saw that there was only gruel, they all turned bitter.
Looking out the window again, the sun was already setting on the treetops.
For a whole day, they had no choice but to pick up the bowl without a drop of water.
Among the people, only Cheng Zhou Ziliang in the imperial history looked as usual, drinking gruel and eating pickles, calmly.
Li Mao glanced at it casually and took in the performance of all the officials.
