Rescue Luzhou 2
The official title of Metropolitan Governor is still reserved for the royal family.
Li Yuanshi deserves to be the founding monarch of the country.
For a talent like Pharmacist Li, he can let go of past grievances and reuse them.
However, Pharmacist Li's talent was too high, but just six years ago, he led a mere 800 officers and soldiers from Changchun Palace to Jinzhou and Kipju.
Subsequently, first Jingxiang, then Lingnan, and then Jiangdong, he successfully took them down one by one.
Looking at the south now, Pharmacist Li is already the most influential person in the army.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, the importance of the south was far less than that of the north.
At that time, the most influential person in the Tang Army was Li Shimin, followed by Pharmacist Li.
Such a character made Li Yuan have to be wary.
Therefore, the tasks he gave to Li Yaoshi, such as the previous time he led the troops of the Lingnan Prefectures to fight against the Fu Gongqi, and this time he led the troops of the Jianghuai Prefectures to fight against the Turks, all of them went to foreign lands to fight with new soldiers.
Such a task, except for Pharmacist Li, has searched through the past and present, but I am afraid that no one will be able to do it.
However, after Pharmacist Li completed his mission, no matter how high the reward was, the emperor still only kept him in the place.
Li Yuan would never allow Pharmacist Li to enter the central government and participate in national decision-making.
Even if he stayed in the place, Li Yuan would not let him stay in the same office for too long.
After all, whether it is subordinates or the people, the heartfelt admiration for Pharmacist Li makes the emperor unguarded.
After receiving the appointment of the governor of Anzhou, Pharmacist Li immediately went to Danyang and bid farewell to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong, as always, entertained with gorgeous dance music and extravagant wine feasts.
However, at this time, from Li Xiaogong's expression, words and deeds, Pharmacist Li could clearly see that the damage caused by improper consumption of pills.
But the relationship between him and Li Xiaogong is not as close as it was five years ago.
What's more, he was about to leave Li Xiaogong's command at this time, and he didn't say much.
However, Li Yaoshi had not yet left Yangzhou, and received an edict to go out of Luzhou to resist the Turks, he quickly ordered troops, and before leading the army to set off, Lu Zesheng transported the rice from Jianghuai to Luoyang in case of the needs of the Beijing division.
Chuchen was about to take the whole family back to Chang'an, and was about to say goodbye to Mrs. Li Xiaogong.
When he heard about the rice transportation, he said with a smile: "Transported to Luoyang in case of the needs of the Beijing Division?" Hehe! ”
Pharmacist Li smiled at his beloved wife while inspecting his bags: "You baby! ”
After all, Luoyang is Li Shimin's sphere of influence.
However, when Pharmacist Li arrived in Luzhou, Zhang Jin had already encountered the Turks in Taigu, and was defeated in the battle, and the whole army was annihilated.
Zhang Jin escaped on a single horse and defected to Luzhou.
However, his marching commander, Shi Wenyanbo, was captured by the Turks.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses looted in Shuozhou.
This time, the Turks entered the Kou as before, from the Mayi Road in the east of the river and the Lingwu Road in the west of the river.
Hexi was defeated by the border garrison led by Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, in Lingzhou; transferred to Kou Suizhou, but was blocked by Li Shimin again.
Hedong all the way is like entering the realm of no one, from Shuozhou, Daizhou, Xinzhou, Shiling, Bingzhou, Taigu, Qinzhou, Hanzhou to the south, at this time has invaded the border of Luzhou, is advancing to Fucheng.
Huang Junhan, the governor of Luzhou, had participated in the battle to exterminate Fu Gongyi, and he admired Li Yaoshi very much, and had long looked forward to his arrival with his troops.
But at this time, seeing that he only brought 10,000 horses and horses, and he was a Jianghuai soldier, he really felt that it was difficult to win.
Zhang Jin was defeated at the beginning, and he didn't think that these 10,000 Jianghuai soldiers could be able to do more than 100,000 iron cavalry of the Turks.
Pharmacist Li asked about the battle situation at the front.
Zhang Jin described the Turks as invincible, and he himself spat out old tears.
Pharmacist Li looked at Huang Junhan, Huang Junhan understood, and said to Zhang Jin: "The old general has worked hard, please rest first." ”
Zhang Jin is already old, he was killed by the Turks a few days ago, and now he is worried that he will not know if he can save his life after returning to the dynasty, and he is frightened, of course he is willing to rest.
After Zhang Jin retired, Pharmacist Li asked Zhang Baoxiang, Xi Junmai, Xue Guwu and others to participate in the discussion.
Huang Junhan took the lead in asking: "I don't know what adults think about the battle situation?" ”
At this time, Li Yaoshi was the head of the march, and in this military operation, his rank was higher than that of Huang Junhan.
Pharmacist Li said: "If you want to protect the state and Taigu, you must stick to Shiling.
Zhang Jin originally had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, although it was difficult to defeat the Turkic 100,000 iron cavalry, but it was enough to hold on.
And he gave up Shiling and retreated to merge with the state, how could he not be defeated? ”
He has a lot of opinions about Zhang Jin, so when he mentions it, he only says his name and surname.
Zhang Baoxiang and the others had never seen Pharmacist Li so angry, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Huang Junhan has been facing Zhang Jin's appearance for a long time, and his anger has not eased slightly: "Zhang Jin rushed over from the treasure horse, and he didn't care about the soldiers of his headquarters at all!" ”
Pharmacist Li knew that this was not the time to be angry, so he pressed his heart: "Ignore these for the time being, just talk about how to deal with the enemy."
I heard that His Majesty has sent General Li Shiji to help, but? ”
Huang Junhan said: "Yes."
However, he was afraid that it would take two more days before he could come.
The Turkic journey can be calculated, and it will be here tonight or tomorrow morning.
I don't know if adults have a plan? ”
Pharmacist Li said: "My combat strength today is not enough to resist the Turks.
Therefore, the retreat of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in Wulonghan a few years ago was to lure it to benefit and strategize, rather than directly attacking its edge, and we should do the same.
The Turks have always only entered the Kou for gold and silk goods, not for land and cities, so we wait..."
There is a mountain in the east to the north of Luzhou City, and a lake in the west.
At dawn the next day, Huang Junhan led the officers and soldiers of Honshu Island into the eastern mountainous area, while Zhang Baoxiang and Xi Junmai lined up outside the north gate of Fucheng.
After they entered Yangzhou more than a year ago, they were carefully selected and trained from the old troops of Jiangdong generals such as Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, Feng Huiliang, and Chen Zhengtong.
Now these soldiers are the elite of Jianghuai who are familiar with the formation of Li Yaoshi.
Zhuge Wuhou Yufupu "Eight Arrays", originally designed for water warfare, seven years ago in the Tomb of the Three Kings, Li Yaoshi used it for land routes, with the terrain to change, become "the corner of the hook with twists and turns relative to the eight formations for six maps".
Later, he was in Kuizhou and personally experienced the "Eight Formations of Water" and "Eight Formations of Drought" of Wuhou, and then developed the "Six Flower Arrays".
The six flower arrays are unpredictable, and the "eight arrays are six" can be in the square array, the circle array, the curved array, the straight array, the sharp array, and the hexagonal array of "the circle of the inner ring and the square of the outer painting become the six flowers", and there are thousands of random changes.
In addition, there are also the "Six Flowers Open Square School Parade Array", and the "Six Flowers and Seven Army Chariot Migration Array" designed for car battles.
However, a year and a half ago, it was not used in the war in Jiangdong, but now it can be used to defend against the Turks.
It is said that Jieli Khan led the iron cavalry to run south at a rapid pace, and had to stop when he reached the outside of Luzhou City.
Everywhere they went, the Tang army refused to fight behind closed doors, but they didn't expect that this small Luzhou, which only had 5,000 defenders, would open the door and set up a formation! Jieli looked forward, but saw that the silver shield reflected the morning sun in the array, and the soldiers and horses in front of him were not only 5,000, but also tens of thousands! At this time, the scout came to report, and only then did he learn that Pharmacist Li had arrived.
