Li Po was in a very good mood, and the shouting and killing sound in the direction of Tongguan was faintly in his ears, indicating that Wang Shichong was still trustworthy, although he was knocked on his head before he arrived at the place, but in the end he brought the army under Tongguan.

It's hard to say how much strength the Tang army can consume, but as long as the Henan army is in Tongguan for one day, then the Tang army will not dare to take it lightly, what Zhang Shigui said is actually not wrong at all, so many people are displayed along the Yellow River, how long can Li Tang support it?

Standing army brigade and government soldiers are completely two concepts, the standing army brigade in the Sui should be called the town army, generally stationed in the border area, the number is not much, more than 3,000 people are the big town, they are undoubtedly the most elite men and horses in the Sui official army.

Like Li Po's Heng'an Town, the town is the establishment of the town army, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Weifu on weekdays, and is under the control of the commander in charge during the war, and the standing army like the Heng'an Town Army, the number of people in the Sui period does not exceed 100,000, which is obviously the result of Emperor Wen's reign and streamlining the administration.

In other words, at the peak of the Great Sui, there were more than 100,000 standing troops, which was the result of various considerations.

Don't say anything else, just say one of the very important reasons, the standing army spends a lot of money, whether it is the emperor or his subordinates, they don't want to raise too much, how good and cheap the government soldiers are, why bother to make so many arrogant soldiers with teeth and claws come out?

And now, there is no day or end to the war, and if any of the princes of the world dares to slim down their army, then others will be able to eat you alive.

It can be said that for example, the princes who are divided everywhere today, their standing army has exceeded the scale of the Sui period, especially when they raised troops a few years ago, most of them claimed to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the funny thing is that at that time, Li Yuan was obviously at the bottom, and when he raised troops in Jinyang, there were only about fifty or sixty thousand people following.

To this day, the current situation of grain and grass and the sharp decline in population have curbed the scale of the war, but Li Tang has been highlighted, and the number of soldiers and horses has been maintained at four or five hundred thousand.

This is also very understandable, there are many granaries in Kansai, and there is Shuzhong as a support, and Li Yuan is not Wang Shichong, an unscrupulous and squandering guy at will.

Well, in fact, it is still the same sentence, if Li Po had not sprung up in Jindi, Li Tang would have broken the world's heroes one after another at this time, which has its inevitable side.

Of course, Li Po doesn't care about anything now, he only knows that Li Tang has too many troops stationed on the side of the Yellow River, and Zhang Shigui's analysis is very correct.

Such a deployment of troops seems to be powerful, but in fact there are many loopholes, whether it is a confrontation or an attack, it will be the right strategy for Jindi.

After a year and a half of confrontation, maybe it will be able to drag down the Tang army, or even Li Tang's treasury, and if you choose to attack, even if the risk is a little big, the chance of winning is also very great.

This is actually a question of the initiative in the war, and today, when Li Tang's strategy tends to be conservative, there are more strategies and tactics for Li Po to choose from.

The situation is very good...... Li Po sighed hypocritically.

The situation is indeed very good, Wang Shichong is very cooperative, and he is very energetic in fighting Tongguan, but his stamina is obviously insufficient, he doesn't seem to have done much, 50,000 forwards were swept away, and Shan Xiongxin, a general of Weifu, actually rebelled.

What made him "sweat" for Wang Shichong was that Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie actually came to the enemy before the battle, this is simply a joke-like operation, if possible, he really wants to ask Wang Shichong in person, is this how you led the troops? Li Mi's death is really unjust......

As a party concerned, he naturally knew that Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie did not come to Jindi, so they must have voted for Li Jiancheng.

Qin Qiong has a good reputation here, and the main characters in Romance later, but he has been here for a long time, and he has thoroughly understood the pitfalls of Romance and the artistically processed characters, which can't be believed at all.

So when he heard Qin Qiong's name, he only muttered in his heart, you are really a character......

As for Cheng Dabeard, well, the root of his teeth involuntarily itched, this person is getting more and more promising, and he is about to catch up with the later travelers, Jindi, Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and now he has gone to Kansai, give you some time, the entire land of China is estimated to be able to turn around.

Such two unlucky guys went to Kansai, Li Dalang should actually think about it, whether he would bring their powerful bad luck over.

Of course, this is just a boring conjecture, and the real brilliance lies in the fact that if these two people show up on the Tongguan city wall, the picture will ...... Tsk, it's so beautiful.

The war can be fought to such an extent, Li Po no longer has any doubts about Wang Shichong's talent......

And Wang Shichong is also worthy of being wronged, the generals of the Zheng army stationed by the river are already looking for a way out, look at the impatient look, it is estimated that it is a matter of casting a name, Wang Renze's head is not big or small, it is just right.

Henan finally opened its arms to Li Po at this moment, but it was a pity that this timing was not too good, there was a lot of meat, and there were a lot of wolves, especially if there were some bones in the meat, and the whole thing would definitely choke.

Fortunately, his appetite is not big, and he has made good preparations, and then he thinks about how to pick out the bones and eat the meat.

Looking at this appearance, the time is a little tight, because the troops on the shore are not many at this time, and he still has to create enough pressure on Li Shenfu by the river, so that he does not dare to easily send troops to reinforce Li Jiancheng.

In this way, if you want to realize the established strategy, the number of troops is a bit stretched.

After Wang Shichong's defeat, it was not so easy to block a victorious army with high morale in Tongguan......

"Send an order to Wei Chi Harmonic and let him leave two thousand horsemen to guard the Dragon Gate and immediately move to Puban."

"Send an order to Wei Chi Gong, let him discuss with Wei Chi Harmony, no matter what means are used, be sure to make a strong crossing of the Yellow River, attack Feng Yi, give them five days, order Wei Chi Harmony to quietly lead the troops to join me, and tell them that if the Tang Army on the opposite side is aware, I will change the positions of the two of them."

Passing down the command, Li Po muttered while turning around in the big tent, "The good defender hides under the nine lands and doesn't know what he is guarding, and the good attacker moves above the nine heavens and doesn't know what he ......is attacking."

After turning around for an unknown number of times, Li Pocai sat down again, shook his head and muttered again, "It's really not easy to fight, it's better to deal with the Turks." ”

There is no reason for this kind of emotion, the Turks are really troublesome when they are fierce, but there are not so many big rivers on the steppe, and they are just famous or something, so it feels like there are many ways to deal with the Turks.

Of course, Li Po also understood, so he laughed at himself, talking to himself like a psychopath, Li Po, Li Po, you are the king of Han, you have to be calm, reserved, and graceful, okay?

"Pass on Zhang Shigui, Xu Shiji came to see me."

The two of them came quickly, beating their chests and saluting.

looked at Zhang Shigui, this person has a good complexion, it is said that he is quite honest, and he did not run around in the camp...... But he made friends with Zhang Lun, even if he was honest, he pretended to be honest.

Of course, Li Po's perspective is generally very peculiar, what he thinks is that Zhang Dabeard has a lot of eyes, and as a newcomer, he can talk to Zhang Dabeard, I heard that the two are called brothers and sisters, and they talk very happily, so it can only explain one thing.

Zhang Shigui is very talented and is regarded as a potential stock.

What made Li Po a little puzzled was that this person's popularity in Tongguan was very bad, and after a few days, it was enough for him to figure out the ins and outs of Zhang Shigui's investment.

was ostracized under Li Jiancheng, it was all praise of him, and it was a true portrayal of people who didn't love dogs, so he crossed the river to vote, and when people with such bad popularity came to him, he immediately made friends......

Well, thinking about Zhang Lun and Xu Shiji's origins, Li Po is also a little relieved, and besides, Zhang Shigui is likely to be a guy who is more likely to offend people, that is, those who have a lot of eyes are willing to associate with him, right?

And Xu Shiji, who came with him, looked a little excited, crossed the river three times these days, "smuggled" some grain and grass and more than a dozen war horses, and was treated as a guest by Wang Renze, it seems that he has found a feeling, Li Po is very suspicious, if there is something accident here, this guy in front of him will run to Wang Renze and shake his head and tail in front of him......

As before, while muttering in his heart, he showed a very friendly smile and waved his hand, "Let's all sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Shigui was very excited, he came for many days, and finally was summoned by the King of Han, it seems that there should be a result, don't look at him these days are very leisurely, but people like him, there is no military power in hand for a day, it seems that only half of his life is left, and it is very uncomfortable.

So he thumped his chest, but the action of sitting down was as light as if it could break the ground.

Xu Shiji, who was next to him, looked at Li Po's smile, but he trembled in his heart first, and first thought about it, have you done any "stupid things" in the past few days?

Li Po looked at Xu Shiji, constantly strengthening the effect of intimidation, and asked directly, "Let's talk about it first, is there any movement on the other side?" ”

Xu Shiji rolled his eyes, quickly brushed it in his heart, and then replied carefully: "Back to the king, the news just came from the other side, Wang Shichong was assassinated last night, and before moving to the formation today, he beheaded Guo Ju, the general of Zuo Wuwei......"

"Wu Heimin, Hao Xiaode's two departments were seriously injured under Tongguan, and today they have moved to the formation to be the supervising army, well, also, Shen Qingnu on the other side also has the heart to surrender, and Niu Jinda discussed it, ready to stand still, just waiting for the king's order."

Li Po was stunned, Shen Qingnu? The underworld boss in Luoyang City, can you fucking trust this?
