Chapter 34: Famous Generals

Such a monotonous and tedious march lasted until mid-October, when the army arrived in Liangzhou, the seat of Shannan West Daozhi, and it was considered to be over.

Li Sheng's Shence army and Quhuan Ling's marching army are all there, of course, the two are not waiting for Guo Ying's insignificant soldiers and horses, but waiting for Liang Chongyi of Shannan Dongdao to send troops.

It's just that Liang Chongyi has been occupying the land of Xianghan and Seven Prefectures for a long time, and he didn't care about entering Shu to rescue Xichuan, and in the end he only symbolically sent a thousand people.

Of course, this person is different from Tian Chenghei, Li Baochen and others in Heshuo Sanzhen, he is quite obedient to the imperial court, and he has no thoughts about the king's world, at most he wants to follow the example of Liu Biao, the prince of the late Han Dynasty, protect the land of one side, and be a dog who guards the household.

On the morning of October 16, Li Sheng beat drums and gathered generals and summoned everyone to discuss the specific matters of the battle in Shu, strategy and tactics.

This is not Jingyuan, this is Shannan, where is he a guest army ten generals to speak.

The military meeting was held in the Shence camp, Li Sheng's big tent, and there were several stubborn armor soldiers at the door, all of them with tigers on their backs, with serious faces, obviously extraordinary, Guo Ying looked secretly staggering.

Hao Jue was also confused when he saw it.

"Didn't you say that the children of Shence are all wine bags and rice bags, why do I see these guys murderous?"

"Who told you that people are wine bags and rice bags, and people are also border troops."

Guo Ying glanced at Hao Xuan.

In these years, the Shence army of the late Tang Dynasty was different, most of the Shence soldiers and generals were directly converted from the border army, and their combat effectiveness was not inferior to the border army, and even faintly stronger, because the treatment of the Shence army was three times that of the border army, which was not a frequent reward.

It's just that the Shence Army has not been established for a long time, and the number is not as exaggerated as that of the late Tang Dynasty.

Hao Yu was speechless for a moment.

According to the system, the generals could not bring their entourage in, so Guo Ying ignored a few subordinates and entered the military tent alone.

As for whether they are waiting outside, or looking for other generals' personal guards to compete, he can't control it, anyway, he is confident in Hao Jue's force value, and he will not lose his face.

……

In the military tent, Li Sheng, the right god of the right god, sat on the main seat, and the generals and colonels on both sides were lined up.

On the left is Quhuan and the general school of the camp under his control, Guo Ying is in the last position, and on the right is the general school of the Shence camp and the east and west of Shannan.

"Li Du!" Qu Huan took the lead in clasping his fists and saluting, and then gestured to the rest of the generals, and stood quietly beside Li Sheng.

Although both of them were generals of Zuo Jinwu, the Son of Heaven added the title of "general" to Li Sheng when he was about to set out on the expedition, so he asked him to control the generals, so Quhuan also needed to obey him.

Both of them are veterans over fifty years old, and when they were young, they served in the Hexi Army together, and there are not so many battles of will, besides, the army must set up a main general and a deputy general, both are Tang generals, who controls who is so important?

In the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the imperial court led 200,000 horses to defeat Shi Siming's relics, but they were defeated, isn't it because Emperor Suzong did not have a commander and the dragons had no leader.

Quhuan has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has general knowledge, so he did not embarrass Li Sheng in front of the generals, but used this to express his obedience.

Other generals, including Guo Ying, saw Qu Huan's posture and saluted one after another.

Li Sheng responded to Quhuan with a satisfied smile, immediately glanced at the generals, and asked slowly, "Have you ever prepared?" ”

"The three thousand Youzhou athletes under the command of the last general have already been waiting for the day, and they are at the mercy of General Li."

His voice fell, and a bearded, burly general stood up, Guo Ying fixed his eyes, but it was Han Min, the soldier and horse envoy who commanded the Youzhou soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Chaosheng, the vanguard of the infantry army from Suining, Zhang Tingzhi, the soldier and horse envoy from Fengxiang, Zhang Xianfu, the tooth general of Shannan West Road, Du Shaocheng, and Guo Ying, the generals of Shannan East Road, all expressed their attitudes.

It's just that except for Shannan Xidao soldiers, there are 10,000 soldiers, and the other three generals are all 1,000 soldiers, and Guo Ying's soldiers are the least, 800.

With the addition of the Shence Army, it is only 20,000 and 800.

But Li Sheng was very confident.

"The military heart is available, the military heart is available.

Ladies and gentlemen, the general has already contacted the Dongchuan soldiers and horses, and after the Lizhou and Dongchuan soldiers and horses meet, we will have more than 30,000 people, and at that time, we will be able to fight a decisive battle with the Xifan soldiers and horses.

Returning to the south of the sword, chasing the west, and raising the prestige of our country, at this time, all the monarchs, strive to make a name for themselves. ”

Li Sheng's voice is subdued and frustrated, which is very infectious, especially with his strong and powerful voice, which adds a touch of domineering.

Guo Ying's heart swayed when he heard this, and he said in his heart that he was worthy of being called the enemy of ten thousand people by Wang Zhonghe, and he was a famous general who entered the Song Wumiao and the 37 heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the ancient and modern times.

I also felt a little more confident in my heart.

However, Qu Huan frowned slightly, as if he felt that Li Sheng was too optimistic, and reminded him: "The combined forces of Tubo and Nanzhao are several times larger than mine, and they will not be taken lightly. ”

"General Qu, you don't really believe that there are 200,000 people in Tubo and Nanzhao, right?" Li Sheng glanced at Quhuan, shook his head and smiled.

Since ancient times, when troops have been sent to fight, how can anyone not exaggerate the strength of troops.

Not only did the enemy exaggerate, but we also exaggerated, for example, Cui Ning, the original Xichuan Jiedu, repeatedly reported that he had defeated 80,000 or 90,000 Tibetans.

"200,000 soldiers and horses, the general would not believe it, but I think there are more than 100,000, after all, Tubo is not sending troops alone this time."

"Except for the driven Han'er, how many old and weak can there be in the back of transporting grain and straw?"

"Seventy or eighty thousand is always there, I heard the military report sent back by Xichuan said that the general of the unified army on the Tibetan side this time is Ma Chongying.

He was the one who was in the northwest Kou Bian last year, and now he is leading the army to Kou Southwest, and Bao Buqi is from Helong to transfer troops and horses, otherwise, how dare the Tubo people be arrogant enough to say such a wild word that Jiannan will become the eastern mansion of Tubo. ”

When Li Sheng heard this, his nerves beat for a while, and he immediately shook his head: "Ma Chongying? No, by no means him. ”

Ma Chongying's real name is Enlan Dazaru Gong, one of the biggest helpers for the succession to the throne of Tubo Zanpu Trisong Dezan, and is also the first general in Tubo today.

Although the puppet Tang court only lasted fifteen days before it collapsed, Ma Chongying left a strong mark in the history of Tibet, and in recent years, he has also been active on the battlefield against the Tang Dynasty, which is very difficult.

"How can Li Du be so sure it's not him?" The curved face was surprised.

"If it were him, he would definitely not rashly divide his troops, but would hit his troops and capture Yizhou, the capital of Xichuan, just like he did in the past when he led his troops to our capital."

Li Sheng said firmly.

Guo Ying suddenly realized.

No wonder Li Sheng is so confident, it turns out that he has the intention of joining forces in one place and breaking them one by one.
