Chapter 970 Hold Your Own Opinion
Lu Mingsong had no choice but to accept the military order, and his heart was extremely distressed.
and did not dare to openly disobey the orders of King Zuo Xian and challenge his majesty.
In this battle, Tang Wan, Mugu, and Su Li led the army to fight, but unfortunately encountered the siege and killing of the Tang army, and there were too many casualties among the Zuo Xian Wang.
Now, the virtuous king is angry, and if he goes against the virtuous king, he is joking with his head.
Hearing this, Zuo Xianwang's eyes were cold, he glared at Lu Mingsong, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, he turned to stare at Su Li, and commanded in a solemn tone.
"General Su, send an order to King Lili and Yan Xingjun of Zuogu as soon as possible, telling them to be vigilant against the Tang army coming from the Eastern Front, beware of Luo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue leading the army to sneak attack."
In yesterday's battle, the troops suffered too many losses, the morale of the soldiers declined, and they even lost the strength to compete with the Tang army.
The only way to change the current passive situation is to preserve strength as much as possible, wait for the Iran Khan to quell the internal disputes within the tribe, and lead the army to help.
He had a close relationship with Temur and knew what Temur was like.
This time, Temur suspected that Yiran had killed Argus, and in order to find evidence and avenge Argus, he brazenly led an army to conquer Yiran, causing Turkic civil strife.
However, the bad news of the defeat at the front line was transmitted back to the royal court, and when Timur learned of the losses of the tribe at the front line, nine times out of ten, he and Yiran put aside their previous suspicions and worked together to resist the Tang army.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was the old enemy of the Turks, and Timur had led his army south to conquer the Tang Dynasty several times, but ended up in defeat and fled.
The southern expedition to the Tang Dynasty and the revival of the Turks were Agus's lifelong aspirations.
Now that Agus has returned to the West, as a close confidant of Agus, Temur will try to complete the grandeur of Agus.
What's more, Temur has always been arrogant, led the army to the south and was defeated, and he had no face, and he hated Yang Yue and the Tang army to the core.
How can the Tang Army be allowed to be presumptuous!
At that time, Temur, Yiran, turned the war into jade silk, the Turkic elite poured out, and the Tang army was defeated.
When Su Li heard this, he hesitated slightly, and said worriedly: "Lord Wang, Lin Kaiyue, Luo Shishang has made great achievements in the past, and they have conquered the Quartet for Yang Yue, and their hands are stained with the blood of our athletes.
This time, he led the elite from Youzhou, Shencheng, and Haohao, if they secretly contacted Yang Yue and secretly targeted King Zuogu Li, General Yan, and the three armies of our army were far away from each other, they might not be able to save the four cities they occupied.
The last general suggested that in order to reduce losses, gather superior forces to resist the Tang army, shrink the forces in advance, and garrison troops in the west to surrender the city and Shengzhou, and only protect two cities, so as to contain the Tang army in the Northern Expedition.
Waiting for the Khan to lead the army south, when the time is ripe, the whole army will counterattack the Tang army in a big way and strive to win the victory. ”
Su Li's face was unprecedentedly serious, and he sincerely suggested to King Zuo Xian.
Yang Yue drove the expedition in person, and the Tang army that followed him from all over the country was about more than 300,000.
The number is on par with the Turks!
The first battle was a great victory, and the Tang army was like a rainbow.
At this moment, the Tang Army was strategically on the defensive, but on the offensive in momentum.
The Turks occupied the four cities, the span of the four cities was too large, and the troops were too scattered, if they could not gather troops, it was easy for the Tang army to break them one by one.
In the end, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice!
The drought of the tribes has not been resolved, and the army cannot be defeated at the front.
If defeated will only consume the comprehensive strength of the Turks, Yang Yue commanded the Tang army to chase and fight fiercely, and the tribe will lose the opportunity to make a comeback.
This is a matter of life and death for the Turks, not a child's play!
"Lord Wang, General Su Li is reasonable, and the last general does not recommend dividing troops to guard it, so that the tribal military strength will be weakened." Lu Mingsong agreed with Su Lidi's suggestion and stepped forward to say categorically.
Several generals next to him successively supported Su Li's suggestion, and some refuted Su Li's suggestion.
How to resist the Tang army and destroy the other party, many partial generals have no good strategy.
However, King Zuo Xian frowned slightly, and his expression was cold.
Get up from the soft couch and walk back and forth in the center of the military tent.
When he was young, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Su Li, Lu Mingsong asked: "What are you afraid of, King Ligu of Zuogu and Yan Xingjun each led 100,000 elites to garrison the surrendered city in the middle of the city, the surrendered city in the east, and Shengzhou, and strengthened the city wall, and the defense was like an iron bucket.
The garrisons of various cities are in a state of horns with each other, no matter which city is conscripted by the Tang army, the defenders in the other two cities can send the defenders to rescue in time.
On the other hand, the Tang Army, according to the news sent back by the spies, Luo Shishang and Lin Kaiyue each led 50,000 elites, and Luo Shishang led the troops to garrison in Yunzhong City.
Blocking the elite of the Yan Department from going south, only Lin Kaiyue led the army to conquer the Yan Department, and the total number of them was only 100,000.
This king admits that Lin Kaiyue is a fierce general under Yang Yue's account, and he leads 50,000 elites, can he eliminate 200,000 Turkic children?"
Zuo Xianwang's plan was diametrically opposed to Su Li and Lu Mingsong, and he was unwilling to give up occupying the city.
King Liwang of Zuogu, Yan Xingjun led the army to garrison the surrendered city in the middle, the surrendered city in the east, and the Shengzhou city, they were well prepared, the city wall was strong, and the Tang army would inevitably pay a heavy price to capture the city.
Once Yan marched, King Zuogu Li led the army to withdraw, and the momentum of the whole army decreased sharply.
Hearing the sound, Lu Mingsong and Su Li were embarrassed.
Are they afraid?
They are not afraid!
It is better to fight to the death with the Tang army than to retreat.
The suggestions made this time were all considered from the Turkic situation, and I did not expect to be despised by King Zuoxian.
In addition to being embarrassed, Lu Mingsong did not give up, and insisted: "Lord Wang, Luo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue led the army only in Shengzhou, and the east of the surrendered city was active, Li Yucheng and Yuan Mingsha, they each led tens of thousands of elites to operate in the south of several cities in the east, and it is inevitable to recover the three cities in the east.
At present, Yang Yue, Zhang Shaoming, Nan Daoming, and Zhao Xuanhu commanded the army to achieve victory near the city of Fengzhou, and Luo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue, Yuan Mingsha, and Li Yucheng must have led the Tang army and managed to fight in the east in response to Yang Yue.
The most important thing is that the earthquake and thunder in the Tang army, the divine fire flying crow, is a siege weapon, and the prince must not be underestimated!"
Shocking thunder?
Speaking of earth-shattering thunder, Lu Mingsong became more and more angry.
Tang Jun is cunning and sophisticated, where does he send people to find the earth-shaking thunder, the divine fire flying crow, and destroy it?
"Yes, Lord Wang, Luo Shishang, Yuan Mingsha, Lin Kaiyue, Li Yuchengzhong, except for Yuan Mingsha, the other three generals followed Yang Yue in the past, all of them were Tang Dynasty generals, and in recent years, they have commanded the Tang Army to fight in the south and the north, and have achieved good victories.
Lin Kaiyue has followed Yang Yue for more than ten years, fighting on the frontier all year round, and has almost never tasted defeat.
If Lin Kaiyue coordinates the overall situation, makes secret contact between the Tang troops on the eastern front, and then launches a full-scale counteroffensive, General Yan and the leader of the Zuogu Liwang may not be able to block the Tang army's edge." Su Li echoed and said the seriousness of the front-line war!
They persuaded hard, not to challenge the majesty of King Zuoxian, but to think about the tribe and King Zuoxian.
After all, as the commander of the three armies, King Zuo Xian had to consider the safety of the generals of the three armies.
The actions should be done to minimize the casualties of the tribal athletes and ensure the steady progress of the army.
Zuo Xianwang's face became serious, thinking about Lu Mingsong, Su Lidi suggested, for a long time, clenched his fists and said loudly: "General Lu, General Su, Hugh wants to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, the Tang army has only achieved a great victory, are you scared by the Tang army?"
After scolding angrily, he glared at Lu Mingsong fiercely, Su Li.
Very dissatisfied with the proposal of the two!
Leng Yu warned: "Don't hesitate, do what this king orders immediately."
"Yes!"
Lu Mingsong, Su Li's bitter mouth did not change Zuo Xianwang's attitude, and he only chose to compromise.
