"Great Shuai, the last general doesn't understand, why do you disagree with Your Majesty's strategy of attacking from three ways, but you must insist on a decisive battle here?

Although our army also has 200,000 troops, but there are not many cavalry, it is not a wise move to go head-to-head with the enemy's 200,000 cavalry. In Yunzhou City, Li Daozong asked Li Jing puzzled.

Datang dispatched 200,000 troops this time, and His Majesty Li Er originally planned to encircle Jieli with a three-way army, assist in the east, attack in the middle, and cut off the enemy's retreat in the west, but in the end, Li Jing's suggestion was adopted, and the whole army was pressed in the middle and crushed the enemy head-on.

The generals were very puzzled by this, but Li Er did not explain it, and it was not until Li Jing led the army all the way to Yunzhou to camp and when the account was raised, everyone asked the question in their hearts.

Li Jing looked around at the generals, pressed down on the people who were talking, and said with a smile: "What? The forces of the enemy and us are equal, can you wait for you? Don't have the determination to win? ”

"With my old black army of 50,000 people, I personally went to bring the head of Jieli back!" Wei Chi Jingde shouted.

"Good! Since Jingde is so courageous, then you are the pioneer in this battle! Li Jing laughed.

"No, the pioneer belongs to my old Cheng!"

"It's me Xue Wanjun!"

……

Everyone began to make noise and shouting, and Li Jing said with a smile: "When I was discussing military aircraft with Your Majesty in Chang'an before, Your Majesty pointed out the gist of this battle and had a new order for this battle.

That's the merit of this battle, not counting by the number of enemies killed, and even the more you slash, the more credit will be reduced! ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and puzzled, why is this? Aren't we fighting for revenge? Decapitation geometry has always been a method of remembering merit, and the twelve guards have long sharpened their knives and Huo Huo is ready to go up and kill him, how can he still kill people and break the law?

"Pharmacist, don't sell Guanzi, tell them quickly!" Deputy Marshal Li Ji said with a smile.

"You don't know that Datang has encountered a problem now!

Before the expedition, His Majesty had summoned a group of civil servants to calculate the gains and losses of the war, prepare to demarcate the distribution of the spoils of war, etc., but Du Keming, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said one thing, that is, the 70,000 people captured by the Turks in our Northern War have now died in the labor, and only 60,000 remain.

These 60,000 people have to support the current mining and coal industry, and they are also responsible for repairing rivers and replacing labor, and all over the country are competing for these captive slaves, but there are not enough people at all.

Letters were written one after another, blaming the Ministry of Civil Affairs for spending too much on employing people, resulting in the loss of 10,000 good laborers in vain. After this incident, the Ministry of Civil Affairs also learned a lesson, and now the living conditions of these prisoners have been greatly improved, and it can be said that in addition to freedom, they work and eat so comfortably every day, and the mortality rate is greatly reduced. Hehe, this is the matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is a digression today.

The main topic here is that even if these 60,000 captives do not die in the future, we will still be very short of labor.

The places where this batch of labor has been used have tasted the sweetness, these people work hard, and do not pick the fat and the thin, as long as they are fed and clothed, and the labor they make is very good, the only drawback is that there are too few people.

Therefore, when I heard that the Tang Dynasty would mobilize troops against the north again, all the knowledgeable officials from all over the country wrote to the imperial court to report how many prisoners were required to work.

After Du Ruhui's statistics, this number has reached 300,000! This is still after the number of people who can do a lot of part-time work at the same time, if you count carefully, 350,000 is the exact number, and 400,000 is considered to have a spare replacement.

Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone here understand what's going on? ”

Li Daozong frowned and said: "That means that in addition to destroying the country this time, we are also responsible for capturing prisoners?" However, they are all Turkic herdsmen, young and old, so isn't it a bit ...... for us to take them prisoners?"

"What are you afraid of, as long as Datang needs it, they don't have to graze, go and work for us, what's wrong with us feeding them? If you want me to say, we should not be fed, and we will catch as many deaths as we want! Hou Junji shouted.

Everyone is full of black lines, this thing is a natural mortal enemy with the alien race, so many times it is easy not to send him to fight against the alien race, if he goes, it will definitely be a river of blood.

Li Ji explained: "No, no, we don't move the good herdsmen of the grassland, after the Tang Dynasty successfully takes the grassland, we will build a city here, develop animal husbandry and develop the textile industry, they will be the good people of the north of the Tang Dynasty, how can we enslave our own people?" ”

"But if we don't arrest them, who will we arrest to work? What about the 300,000 shortfall! Xue Wanjun asked.

Li Daozong had already understood, and said in a deep voice: "If we don't arrest the people, then we can only arrest the Turkic soldiers who are against us, haha, what about 200,000, if we all arrest them, won't the gap be blocked?" ”

Yes?

A few generals who didn't understand their meaning suddenly realized, and cried out in surprise, their brains were a little bad, this is an army of 200,000, not 200,000 lambs, just catch it? How can it be?

"Pharmacist, it can't be true!

If we want to lead a team to capture 300,000 people on the grassland, then we can do it with 20,000 people.

But grab the 200,000 army on the other side? We can only defeat them head-on, and we can't capture them all alive, unless they are several times the enemy! You are the commander of the three armed forces, you don't know this truth! Chai Shao asked.

"It's up to us to plan! We have to complete the task, we have to win the war, you are all elites of the Tang Dynasty, the army is in hand, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the people and horses are excellent, just change the way, we can't help it? Li Jing pretended to be profound.

"Don't do it, this pioneer Lao Hei is gone!

Lao Hei will only kill, and when the time comes, if he kills red-eyed and kills and injures this group of barbarians too much, he will definitely miss the major events of the imperial court, not to mention military merits, and maybe he will be punished.

Dashuai, the last general is unwell, and the pioneer asks to resign! ”

……

Everyone looked at this big man with a dark face, as if they knew him for the first time, when did this thing become so shrewd?

"Hey, old black, how did you react? Didn't you just say that you were going to get Jieli's head? Cheng Yanjin patted Yu Chigong on the shoulder and asked.

Wei Chi Gong was happy, "Although I don't know how to take down the 200,000 army, but since it is to arrest people, there must be someone who goes up to fight and someone who arrests people in the back, the meaning of the marshal, this military merit is counted according to the number of people arrested, if I take this murderous job, I will definitely not be pleased!" ”

Everyone laughed, and they all said that this black product was so shrewd at a critical moment.

Li Jing said with a smile: "Lao Hei is right, we don't have several times the number of the enemy, so we can only defeat it head-on, and then they will run away, and we will pursue and capture it in the back."

Our 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers are brave and brave, and we will definitely be able to defeat the 200,000 soldiers and horses! But chasing and arresting people requires brains.

These 300,000 is the task, the twelve guards are now out of the ten guards, whoever captures more enemies, who will get more military merits, if the team kills more than 5,000 enemies, then it can only be calculated according to daily military merits.

This is what His Majesty said personally, so on the question of how to catch the sheep, everyone will discuss it separately when they go back, which can not only ensure the life of our sons, but also catch more grassland prisoners back.

There is one thing that needs to be kept in mind, the herdsmen of the grassland must not move, if anyone dares to mix up with shoddy fish, it is the shame of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and this commander's military law will not tolerate mercy! ”

In the end, Li Jing slapped his palm on the case, and all the generals saluted in unison to say that they remembered!
