Chapter 546: Discussion of Withdrawal
"That's it!" The generals thought for a moment, and their eyes lit up.
According to Merton's method, the wounded battalion did not need to be moved, and there were still two hours left in the fire, which was enough for the army to operate.
"Come on, immediately dig a trench around the wounded barracks, remember to dig the westernmost one first." Li Jing did not hesitate, and immediately ordered, and immediately a large number of soldiers rushed out one after another and began to dig trenches on a large scale. In a short time, the entire wounded barracks were surrounded in a circle.
Cheng Yanjin looked at Merton with an amazed face, and said incredulously: "I really don't know if you have a seven-trick exquisite heart, and things that seem difficult to others are in your hands." ”
The other generals also nodded their heads and looked at Merton with strange eyes.
Merton proudly, pointed to his head and said: "The seven exquisite hearts are all false, according to medical research, a person is not smart because of his heart, but his brain, the heart is just a place for blood supply." ”
In an instant, the generals couldn't help but focus their eyes on Merton's head.
Morton suddenly felt a chill in his head, and suddenly felt like a pack of wolves around, and hurriedly said: "If you want to be smart, then you have to read more and eat walnuts!" There is no other way. ”
Merton hasn't forgotten it now, and the stalk of eating walnuts to replenish his brain quickly came up with his own words.
"Alright, stop making trouble!" Li Jing spoke up and stopped the generals from playing tricks on Merton.
"Fu Yun's move seems to be powerful, but it hurts others and hurts himself, the grassland is ignited, although my Datang's war horse has no pasture, and Tuyuhun's war horse is the same. Fu Yun must have taken advantage of the fire to stop us at this moment, and fled with his family. Now, what should we do? Li Jing looked at the red sky in the west, and said with a solemn face.
Suddenly, all the generals turned grim, and looked at the fire in the distance worriedly.
"General Qiyu! Fu Yun old thief burned the grassland, our army war horses and pasture are in short supply, if you take the risk of an expedition, I am afraid that people are tired and sleepy, and if you are not careful, you will lose your troops! Li Daoyan frowned.
There is no need to remind the importance of grain and grass, and the generals naturally know that now Fu Yun will not give the Tang Army any chance to ignite the grassland, I am afraid that the places with abundant water and grass have long been burned out, and they will definitely continue to spread over time, and most of the places that can survive may be spared, but these small places are simply not enough for hundreds of thousands of war horses.
"General, withdraw your troops! Our army has been defeated Tuguhun, if you take the risk of pursuit, thousands of miles of uninhabited, not even weeds, to let the war horses and war horses hungry to pursue, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will lose your efforts! Gao Yongsheng also agreed.
Now that the Tang Army has won a great victory, everyone who has retired at this moment has merit, and if they take the risk of pursuing and turn from victory to defeat, instead of achieving success, they will have it, I am afraid it will be thankless.
Not only did Li Daoyan and Gao Yongsheng think so, but most of the generals also nodded in agreement, when they return to Chang'an City at this moment, everyone will have a reward, so why risk failure to fight?
All of a sudden, almost all of the generals were in favor of withdrawing from the army.
"But now our army is in a very good form! It's really unwilling to withdraw like this! Cheng Yanjin said hatefully.
After this battle, the Tu army must have been frightened, and the Tang army was in a good form, but he didn't expect Fu Yun to think of such a defeat-lose plan, this time, Fu Yun's burning of the grassland would certainly block the Tang army, and the entire Tuyuhun would definitely be vigorous. If the cattle and sheep have no pasture, they will lose a lot.
"There must be no withdrawal." Just as everyone hesitated, suddenly a childish voice said resolutely.
The generals suddenly turned their heads, only to see that it was Merton who opposed the withdrawal of troops, and suddenly their faces couldn't help but be playful, they naturally knew that Merton was a resolute main battle faction, this time Datang sent troops to attack Tuyuhun on such a large scale, it can be said that a large part of it was Merton's full push.
Li Daoyan glanced at Morton coldly and said: "Ink sacrifice wine, Ben Jiang knows that you are in revenge for Tuyuhun asking for Changle and kiss, according to the generation, Ben Jiang is still Changle's uncle, and naturally wants to be angry for Changle, but this is a state matter, how can it be compared with private feelings, if you use your own selfishness to let the army fall into a place of no return, not to mention you, even the entire Mo family can't afford it." ”
The other generals nodded one after another, it was too difficult to pursue at this moment.
The other generals also looked at Merton with dissatisfied, they admitted that Merton had made a lot of contributions in this war, but if they wanted to put them in danger, let the Mo family please a woman, even if the woman was a princess, it was not qualified.
Merton said sonorously: "Since Manager Li talked about selfishness, then I will talk about Fu Yun's selfishness, do you think Fu Yun is a person who forbears when he suffers a loss?" I think that Emperor Yang of Sui defeated Tuyuhun, Fu Yun fled in a hurry, and within more than 20 years after that, Tuyuhun committed crimes year after year, so that the person who will be revenged, the kid dares to guarantee that if I wait for the army to retreat today, the army has just left, and the entire Longyou land will definitely be subject to Fu Yun's craziest revenge. ”
Suddenly, the hearts of the entire generals suddenly chilled, with Fu Yun's character of retribution, Merton's prediction was not that it could happen, but that it would definitely happen, and when the time came, they would not say that they would go to Chang'an City to receive merit, I am afraid that the saliva of the entire imperial court will drown them, and it is not certain whether they can keep their official positions.
Merton continued: "If we can't talk about Fu Yun's complete defeat this year, Tuyuhun has suffered losses today, and it will definitely be taken away from the people of Longyou Land twice, who will bear such a crime at that time, naturally it will be us, the court will wait for me to the end, dismiss the official, and re-activate a group of generals, the Tuyuhun army will definitely repeat the old tricks, burn the grass and escape, do you think, when the time comes, the generals who will conquer Tuyuhun next year will not order the pursuit?" ”
Everyone nodded silently in their hearts, it is conceivable that with their lessons from the past, I am afraid that next year's army will definitely pursue and completely solve the big problem of Tuyuhun.
Merton suddenly shouted: "Since we have to pursue sooner or later, why don't we take the initiative to attack today." ”
Li Daoyan hesitated in his heart, and his eyes rolled and said: "I heard that Mohou once said in the court that the strategy of breaking Tuyuhun is that as long as you continue to wait for the busy season of Tuyuhun in spring to attack the grassland, within three or five years, Tuyuhun will definitely be defeated, why don't I use this good strategy." ”
The generals' eyes lit up, since Fu Yun could ignite the grassland, then they could naturally attack the grassland for several years in a row, and burn the grassland, Tuguhun would definitely be defeated, this method was both safe and victorious.
