1224. Divide the troops and advance in advance

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was carefully looking at the slightly detailed map sent back by the shadow in front of him, and Li Pojun was asked by Li Shimin to read the song, but his mind was not on the song, his eyes were fluttering, and he had a thoughtful look.

It has been more than half a month since the departure of the oath division, and after a rapid march, the Gyeonggi army has reached the northwest, and the Liudao army is currently assembled in Shanzhou.

"Hu Nu, if you are Pharmacist Li, how do you think you should use soldiers?" Looking at the map, Li Shimin suddenly asked.

Li Pojun was overjoyed when he heard this, put down the recital, and also thought about it, at this time he also had some regrets, in later generations, he did not spend time studying these key battles well, and after a long time, some sporadic memories were almost forgotten.

Regarding the battle to destroy Tuyuhun this time, Li Pojun only remembered that it was Li Jing who asked Ying to take command, and then destroyed Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, and he didn't know the specific process.

Now I can hear Li Shimin's question, I have to think about it, think about it, look at the two points marked by Li Shimin on the map, pick up the pen and point to the two points on it and say: "Aye, you see, our army is assembled in Shanzhou, and most of the Tuyuhun troops and the West Sea (that is, Qinghai Lake) around, our army is very agglomerate, and the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses are more scattered, the West Sea is wide all around, no less than thousands of miles, all over its soldiers, if it can't annihilate its main force in a battle, it will make it flee, and the north of the West Sea is the desert grassland, and the south is the plateau and snow, once the enemy escapes, It is difficult to win by a big margin.

Because whether it is the desert grassland or the plateau snowy region, it is not conducive to our army's long-distance march and pursuit, and for Tuyuhun, once he escapes from the snowfield, it is tantamount to a tiger returning to the mountains and forests. Therefore, if you can't fight and destroy its main force, it will create this kind of endless cycle."

Li Shimin is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he knows what Li Pojun said, and his face is also solemn.

smashed his fist on the desk, "How many years have it been like this, if you lose the battle, you will flee, and when our army retreats, you will come to tease again after licking the wounds, which is really hateful."

After that, he looked at the scattered Tuyuhun garrisons on the map, and frowned and said slowly: "It's better to gather them and annihilate them."

"However, the Tuyuhun border is very long, and its Murong troops and horses are mainly in the area of Fu Qi City, and the various tribes are distributed in the long defensive belt from the northeast to the southeast of the West Sea.

It can be seen that there are also capable people in this Tuguhun who are deployed and deployed, and they have long been prepared for the unfavorable situation of the war, anyway, they believe in the principle of staying in the green mountains, and if they lose, they will run, how can they give us a chance to fight? ”

Li Pojun also scratched his head and said, at this moment he was a little doubtful of his military ability, he thought he was familiar with military books, and he thought that he was a military master, but now he is facing a problem, and it is also very tricky.

To put it bluntly, this Tuyuhun is a rookie, the defense line is very long, each tribe fights its own battle, guarding the royal city and the city, it is very easy to defeat them, there is no need for the imperial court to send troops, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, and Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Lanzhou, they can defeat them, but it is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to annihilate.

If they can't win, they will run, and when you retreat, he will come to tease again, anyway, they are idle and bored and gallop on the grassland.

Looking at the scattered defenses, if you want to be annihilated in a battle, there is only ...... Li Pojun had a flash of inspiration, slapped his face and said, "There is."

Li Shimin also raised his eyelids, raised his palms and smiled: "Don't say it yet", he took two pieces of paper as he spoke, "write them on the paper and see if my father and son have the same idea."

This is interesting, as if Yu Liang burned Chibi with a plan, and immediately wrote two words.

After Li Shimin finished writing, the two picked up the paper and looked at each other, and smiled.

I saw that both father and son wrote the word division of troops.

It was indeed said by Li Shimin's father and son, in history, Li Jing used the strategy of dividing troops and advancing to annihilate the main army of Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

The soldiers are divided into two roads, the north and south two road armies, rapid advance, from the northeast and southeast directions, several battles and several victories, the six-way army beat the Tuyuhun army to flee in all directions, beaten everywhere, galloping thousands of miles, and finally the two armies will be divided into Dafeichuan, the son of Fu Yun killed the king of Tianzhu and surrendered, Fu Yun was very frightened, and finally ran around only more than 100 horses, hanged to death.

It is worth mentioning that the Tang army destroyed Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, met with Dafeichuan, fought for thousands of miles in the vast snowfield, destroyed the country and captured the king, and met here to celebrate. And more than 30 years later, in order to fight against Tubo and recover Tuyuhun who was destroyed by Tubo, Xue Rengui, a famous general who was more than half a hundred years old, escorted the descendants of Fu Yun to Fuqicheng to restore the country, and 50,000 Tang troops were besieged by more than 400,000 Tubo troops in Dafeichuan, and were defeated.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty fought to destroy Tuyuhun and met Xiangqing in Dafeichuan, but later it was to help the Murong tribe recover Tuyuhun, and it was defeated in Dafeichuan, which was really providential.

At the same time, Shanzhou (i.e., Xining), which is under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Governor's Office of Longyou Province, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, the city of Shanzhou is tall, and at this moment, there are dozens of miles of camps outside the city of Shanzhou, and the endless tents are continuous, which seems to be relatively scattered, but in fact there are mysteries inside.

The camp gate was wide open, and directly opposite was the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Li Jingduan sat on the head, behind him was enshrined the section and Yue, and the left and right columns below sat Hou Junji, Li Daozong and other marching managers, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche, Qibi He Li and other major generals gathered in the big tent.

"I don't agree", there was a buzzing sound, and the first person in the left column raised his eyebrows and said loudly, this person is the secretary of the military department and the head of the Jishi Road march, Hou Junji, and one of the two deputy commanders of the army, the other is Li Daozong, the secretary of the criminal department and the head of the Shanshan Dao march.

Seeing Hou Junji's resolute opposition to his strategy, Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Lanzhou, also had a bad face.

"If you don't need soldiers in winter, it depends on the specific situation, now that it is a harsh winter, our army is certainly difficult, but that Tuguhun will not be comfortable. He Fu Yun will burn the pasture, it is true that he has cut off my horse food, but it is also the cut off of his horse food, and sending troops in winter is a strategy set in the imperial court, how can it be changed at will, Duan Dudu has not been in the court for a long time, so don't make a rash decision."

Hou Junji picked up the eight-character nonsense, his long eyes were full of essence, and he looked at Duan Zhixuan quite hard and said, his words were full of pride.

It turned out that Duan Zhixuan was the foreign governor of Lanzhou, supervising Shanzhou, Lanzhou, Kuozhou and other prefectures, and there were several military conflicts with Tuyuhun and Tuyuhun intermittently.

And last year, in order to prevent Duan Zhixuan, Li Daliang and other border state troops from entering Tuyuhun, Fu Yun burned all the grass for hundreds of miles on the Tuyuhun border, so it is difficult to find even a grass root at the Tuyuhun border and even hundreds of miles deep.

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan believed that there was not enough pasture, and it was very dangerous to march far away in winter, and said that he would wait for the fighters.

But Hou Junji and others are all Beijing officials, and now the leader of the army has finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions outside, how can he be willing to wait more, besides, what Hou Junji said is also reasonable, the winter is difficult, we are hard, Tuyuhun is also a person, the same hardship, who is more ruthless.

In addition, Hou Junji is a prince of the country, when he is the secretary of the military department of the court, in charge of military affairs, and he has always been unruly, and he is not afraid of offending people at all, and what he said is also very unpleasant.

Didn't you see that the face of Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Lanzhou and Fan Guogong, was red, and his breath was unstable.

Seeing that if he was not careful, he was afraid that the generals would be discordant and infighting, Li Jing also frowned, his face was majestic, and he took a handsome case.

"General Manager Hou's words are inappropriate, the march and battle are supposed to brainstorm, Duan Dudu is the general of our army, and he has the inherent responsibility and right to speak." Li Jing was still very prestigious, and as soon as the words came out, Hou Junji had to pout, and arched his hand perfunctorily towards Duan Zhixuan.

Knocked Hou Junji and appeased Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing said again: "Winter battles, do not delay, you must annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, do you have any good strategies or ideas, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

Li Jing has made a decision, he can't wait for the fighter, he wants to fight quickly, if you have anything to say, say it quickly.

Before the others could say anything, Hou Junji, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, shouted again: "What other good strategy can there be, the enemy army is very scattered, if you want to annihilate it in one fell swoop, the only way is to divide the troops and advance forward." ”

I have to say that although Hou Junji's personality has serious shortcomings, he is rude and indiscreet, he is pampered, he is a gangster, he can't learn bows and arrows, but he looks down on this and that, but he has brains.

Unlike Qin Shubaowei Chi Gong and other brave generals, Hou Junji is good at using his brain, he was poor in his childhood, and he couldn't learn literature and martial arts, but after he was promoted, he also specially invited a teacher to learn knowledge, and also worshiped Li Jing as a teacher to learn the art of war, but his character is really not good, and he doesn't know what psychology he has after learning to become a teacher, it is estimated that he is afraid that the master will be reused, covering up his brilliance, and he is actually framing Li Jing for rebellion, but he has a bad reputation.

Around this, Hou Junji's military talent is still well known, the little white ape is not only agile, but also has a bright head, no, as soon as Li Jing said that he wanted to annihilate Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, Hou Junji immediately said that the enemy army was too scattered, and the only way to break it was to divide the troops.

Li Jing listened, looked at Hou Junji's eyes inexplicably, and didn't know what his mood was, this apprentice, his military talent can be of great use, but he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, and his character was too poor......

"It is indeed a good strategy to divide the troops and advance forward, well, what do the generals think?"

Li Jing remained silent, and asked everyone again, this may also be one of the reasons why Li Jing obeyed the public.

He leads the army to fight, rarely arbitrarily, generally consults with the generals, Li Jing, who has a soft personality and knows the way to protect himself, never blushes with people, only analyzes with you slowly, until you are convinced, and the apprentice who deceived the master can be described as a world of difference.
