Chapter 134: Preemptive Strike
"Don't mess around, how can you bet on major events before the army?"
Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Biting Jin and was eager to try, and was about to make a bet with Li Xiang, and immediately stuck this matter to death, the two of them are inferior in generation, no matter who wins or loses, this is not a good thing.
"According to what you said, Tuyuhun wants to negotiate terms with us, but why hasn't anyone come over for three days since the retreat?"
Qin Qiong said with some puzzlement, they have been sending scouts in the past few days, but they have not found any new moves in Tuyuhun.
"General, who doesn't want to raise their own value, if people come over in such a hurry, can we take them seriously? Let's hang it for a few days first, let us spend a few days' money, the army here every day is not a small amount, and when we can't afford it, we will naturally send someone to find them first. ”
Li Xiang's words made the two of them understand instantly, no wonder the people of Tuyuhun are not in a hurry, they are here, and the nomads live like this, so the expenses of the people are not very large, on the other hand, we came all the way from Chang'an, and the local food is not edible, all the food is transported from Guanzhong, and I don't know how much it cost just to pay for the freight along the way, so every day of delay, the loss is not only our money, but also our sharpness.
"These dog mongrels have really flexible brains, so we can't take the initiative to find them, if we take the initiative to find them, wouldn't we be left behind?"
Cheng bit his head angrily, the army has just been here for a few days, and more than 100,000 yuan has already been spent, with more and more troops, if the other party still retreats like this, then even if we spend all the money, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them.
"If you kid has a plan, hurry up and say it, don't you see that Brother Qin and I are in a hurry?"
Cheng bit Jin slapped Li Xiang on the shoulder, almost didn't shoot Li Xiang's bones apart, this old guy's hand strength is really big, none of these generals in the Tang Dynasty are vegetarian, no wonder he can help Li Shimin fight the world, and trample so many heroes and heroes under his feet, in the end, there are really a few brushes.
"Have all of us outside the city moved in?"
Before figuring out the situation, Li Xiang couldn't make up his mind, this can be related to the lives of hundreds of people, although Liangzhou City is the place where the Tang Dynasty goes deepest into Tuguhun, but there are many temporary markets outside the city, and there are also many Han people living in them.
"When Tuyuhun raised his army, the Han people outside the city had already begun to retreat, and most of them have returned, does this have anything to do with this matter?"
Cheng Chumo is responsible for this matter.
"Then there is no concern, if we still have people outside, then this strategy may be in trouble, since there are no more of our people outside, then it will be easier for us to do, in the south and southwest of Liangzhou City, there are a total of twenty-five tribes of Tuyuhun, and we are also familiar with their location, at this moment our army has not left Liangzhou City, they are still stationed in the original place, we only need to send our elite small troops to carry out precise strikes on these twenty-five tribes, Then their army will not be able to stay, and it will be beneficial to us whether it is to fight or fight. ”
After Li Xiang's words were finished, all the people present gasped, are you really only a teenager? Open your mouth to eat the twenty-five tribes of others, although the tribe of Tuyuhun is not very large, but each tribe is also in the hundreds or even thousands of people, if you want to eat these twenty-five tribes in one bite according to what you said, it is estimated that the Tuyuhun people will vomit blood angrily.
The generals in the camp looked at each other, although Li Xiang's strategy was very bold, but it had to be said that it was very useful at the moment, as long as we could act according to the plan, then the situation in front of us would change in an instant.
"If we want to use the army to wipe out their twenty-five tribes, the farthest distance is about two hundred miles from us, then we will also make a big move, Liangzhou City may not be without their meticulous work, and then our actions may be greatly reduced, and the results of the battle will be insufficient."
Qin Huaiyu said with some worry, this guy is a doer, when all the people were pondering just now, he had already marked out these twenty-five tribes, which were lined up in the south and southwest of Liangzhou City.
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about, is it possible that we make a plan, then we must be 100% successful, if this is the case, then we don't do anything, everything is risky, but as long as there is more than half of the chance in our favor, then we should do it."
Li Xiang doesn't care about his seniority now, as long as he meets the second-generation general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang basically calls him eldest brother, and everyone also knows about Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Jingde, so when Li Xiang spoke like this, Qin Huaiyu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, not that he had to pretend to be a senior and let people call him uncle.
"I like to hear this, in the early years, when I followed His Majesty to fight the country, as long as it was profitable, we would definitely pounce on it, these years of fame, doing anything to plan to plan, but it tied our hands and feet, twenty-five tribes we may not all take down, but as long as we can defeat more than a dozen of them and create panic in the border area, their army will not be able to sit still."
Cheng Yanjin slapped the table and said loudly, he was already unwilling to stay in the city, and it was easy to get an opportunity to fight, if he stayed in the city every day, then it was better to go back to Chang'an City, why bother to ask for this task?
Qin Qiong also nodded beside him, it is indeed the same as what Cheng Yanjin said, the Tang Dynasty has become more and more prestigious over the years, but when everyone fights, the more worries they have, and they no longer have the courage they had back then.
"Do you have any other comments? If we don't have any opinions, then we will go straight later today, each with a soldier and horse, go out of the city in the middle of the night, and return to the city at dawn, killing as many as we can. ”
General Qin Qiong thought about the kung fu of having a stick of incense, and finally considered all the details, and then made up his mind.
"The last general commands!"
More than a dozen generals present knelt down one after another, the first battle between Datang and Tuyuhun was about to start, they never thought of taking the initiative to attack, they originally thought that they were going to defend Liangzhou City, but they were led by Li Xiang to kill the grassland first.
