Chapter 135: Unsafe Grassland
"Ao, you don't have to lead the team out this time, your people have just arrived in Liangzhou City, you can take a stroll around, there are some border characteristics here, you can't see them in Chang'an City."
After everyone else went out, Qin Qiong found out that he hadn't arranged anything for Li Xiang yet!
"General, the last general is not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but also to be loyal to the country like you, not to mention that it took me a lot of effort to recruit the troops of the three provinces, if there is no task, how can the last general go back to see the soldiers of the three provinces?"
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other, they were sure that they had heard correctly, Li Xiang had recruited more than 3,000 people, did he bring in those old, weak, sick and disabled? If that's the case, then it's even more impossible to let Li Xiang out of the city, the battle here is different from the mainland, you can't do anything without the war horse, if you just rely on your legs, let alone go out and sneak attack, just run down this way, it is estimated that people will be tired to death.
"You're full?"
Cheng Yanjin said with some disbelief, along the way, he also released his spies, the surrounding villages are almost always free, the local land is barren, and it can't support so many people at all, but anyone who has a little ability has already gone to the field, even if you give high conditions, I'm afraid no one will come to join the army.
"I beg the general to review the ministries of the lowly position."
Li Xiang said very seriously, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Xiang was not joking, didn't he give us another surprise? Qin Qiong waved his hand, it was Li Xiang who led the way, anyway, there was no combat mission now, so these two people went to see Li Xiang's army.
West School Field.
The two finally saw the army under Li Xiang, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin both swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the army, just this armor and war horse, which made these two generals greedy.
With your equipment, the Beiya Forbidden Army is not your opponent, if the combat effectiveness is not strong, then he will lose this outfit.
Thousands of people stood on the school grounds, and no one made a sound, and the two generals could feel that the combat effectiveness of this army was by no means a joke, at least stronger than their own personal guards.
The two of them never believed that this was the army recruited by Li Xiang in Wuqing Mansion, but the two of them didn't want to find out where these troops came from, it might be related to some royal secrets, if they let themselves know, not only would it not be a good thing, but they might also cause trouble for themselves.
"You're going to attack Sanbu tonight, can you have confidence?"
Looking at such an army, Qin Qiong didn't say anything, if he let such an army sleep in the city, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as a commander.
"The last general is willing to make a military order."
Li Xiang said with great confidence, although he knew that his army was very combative, but after all, it was the first time to carry out military affairs, so it was better to be careful, otherwise let alone three tribes, ten tribes would not be a problem.
"Don't be nervous, just rely on these people under your command to attack a few tribes, even if it is their military camp, you can retreat with your whole body, when you kill it at night, let your archers release a wave of rockets first, you are familiar with this way, didn't Chang'an City burn Zaterk again? When they were in internal chaos, the cavalry directly covered and killed, and in less than half an hour, a tribe was finished. ”
Cheng bit Jin Le and said, patting Li Xiang's shoulder vigorously with one hand, if he could still hold on a few times, Li Xiang really wanted to jump three feet away, and at the same time he was very sympathetic to Cheng Chumo, the two brothers, how did you come here from childhood to adulthood? You were stunned by your father, right?
"It's basically what Zhijie said, but you must put enough scouts on the periphery, once there is a change in the surroundings, even if you don't complete this task, you must retreat, what you represent is not only yourself, but also the prestige of my Tang royal family."
Qin Qiong also explained a few words, just like he said, Li Xiang is not an ordinary little general, once there is any accident, the loss of troops will be small, and Li Shimin's anger is great.
In case the eldest grandson of the Tang Emperor is captured, even if they take down the entire Tuyuhun, this will not be a victory, and even if Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin are not beheaded by the whole family, this life will basically come to an end, and there will be no chance of promotion in the future.
Therefore, the other small forces are more than 1,000 people, Li Xiang wants to take out his more than 3,000 people, Tuyuhun's army is full of more than 20,000 people, as long as Li Xiang does not plant headlong into the depths of the grassland, then these more than 3,000 people are enough to ensure Li Xiang's safety.
What's more, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin will definitely send hundreds of personal guards to follow behind, once there is anything to Li Xiang, the personal guards will immediately cover up, no matter what the task is, it is necessary to ensure Li Xiang's safety.
"Please rest assured that the two generals will return triumphantly."
Li Xiang said with great confidence, didn't he come to the front line to get military merits? Now don't say it's the emperor's grandson of the same age, even if it's an adult prince, they don't have the size of the merit on the battlefield, as long as they go back with their military exploits this time, it will be a big step forward than them.
Li Zhi watched with some greed from a distance, this guy also wanted to lead the army to the battle, but he had no choice but to kill even the guards under his subordinates, and the emperor also gave him a folding mansion, but this guy didn't have any money, and he didn't even have anyone to do things under his hands, so he could only have an empty name.
He also wondered a little in his heart, why did Li Xiang do this kid, I can't do anything here, and he seized the opportunity to clear all the people under him for this kid, could it be that this Tang Dynasty is his? They are also descendants of the emperor, what more does he have than me?
Tuyuhun's army leaders did not expect that the generals of the Tang Dynasty would adopt Li Xiang's seemingly risky method, you must know that the two countries have also had many frictions in history, most of the Tang generals are standing still, gathering all the troops in the city, as for the initiative to attack, the Tang generals have never done it.
Mainly because the depths of the grassland are dangerous, and after leaving the city, it is the world of the grassland people, so the Tuyuhun people have always felt that they are safe, but tonight they ......
