Chapter 862: An army of 500,000 is coming
Li Hao didn't ask Li Zhi the reason, because the reason was obvious, Li Xian was Wu Meiniang's son, but now Li Zhi's son was left Li Xian, Li Hao frowned, and said: "If you don't let Li Xian be the emperor, then you can only go back and continue to sit on the throne." ”
"Was Li Ao also killed?" Li Zhi looked at Li Hao and said, "That's her son." ”
Li Hao said: "I was also killed, it wasn't her son at all, she sent someone to steal it from outside, in order to increase her bargaining chips for entering the palace." ”
"Hehe......" Li Zhi also smiled bitterly, laughing more ugly than crying, once, Wu Meiniang was like a fairy in the sky in his heart, a smile could stir his heartstrings, and now, he found out that what he fell in love with was actually a female devil, because in her, he could only see the darkest side.
"So......" Li Zhi said slowly, "My son, is Li Hong the only one left?" He didn't want to admit that Li Xian was his son at all, he loved Wu and Wu, and hated a person, and the same was true.
"Li Hong is my son." Li Hao emphasized.
Li Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Does Li Hong know it himself?" ”
"Already...... Got it. Li Hao originally wanted to say that he didn't know, but he was really afraid that Li Zhi would pull Li Hong to be the emperor, so from now on, he would have to salute when he saw his son, and he couldn't go to see him anytime and anywhere, it hurt to think about it.
In fact, the most perfect solution in Li Hao's mind is for Li Zhi to go back and clean up the mess, continue to be his emperor, and then choose dozens of concubines, make people crazy, and create more than ten or twenty princes, and then the throne will be passed on to whomever you want, you just need to return my son to me, everyone is happy, how good, what a Taoist priest.
He could only think about it like this, and he also knew that Wu Meiniang had caused a lot of damage to Li Zhi's heart, and he needed to ...... Psychological intervention, to put it bluntly, is psychotherapy, otherwise you will get depression, after all, Li Zhi is not a very strong person, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to bear such a huge change.
But in this ancient world, how could there be any psychological counselors, but Buddhism and Taoism can actually be part-time psychiatrists, and some of the ideas and concepts of Buddhism and Taoism still have some enlightening effects, after all, they can be brainwashed.
Li Zhi was silent, Li Hao was not in a hurry, just waited quietly on the side, Zhu Ruihuan, Pei Miao and Zhiyuan Zhenren had already avoided it with interest, because when Li Hao shouted the words "Li Hao is my son", they already knew that the next words were not something they could hear, so they chose to avoid it.
After waiting for half an hour, Li Zhi was still silent, Li Hao couldn't stand it anymore, and finally asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
"Not yet." Li Zhi shook his head.
Li Hao frowned and said: "What is there to think, either pass the throne to Li Xian, or you go back with me, continue to be the emperor, reorganize the rivers and mountains, and our monarchs and ministers will work together to destroy Yuan Tiangang first, and then build a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty!" How is it? ”
Li Hao said lightly: "It's enough for Datang to have you." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Hao's eyebrows were upside down, his mood became very unpleasant, and he shouted loudly, "It's not like you to pick a picker, you suddenly gave up, what do you want me to do, the mess in the court is still waiting for someone to clean it up, if you don't do it, don't do it, you can appoint a successor, now there is not even an heir to the throne, what do you let me do!" What to do! Believe it or not, I'm going to quit! Who will be the surname of the world in the future, let everyone in the world fight according to their ability! Let the world be in chaos! ”
"Poet, don't be angry." Li Zhi turned his head to look at him and said, "I'm just having a hard time to decide, you give me some time to think about it." ”
"What are you thinking about?" Li Hao said anxiously, "Otherwise, you can choose one from the royal family, anyway, as long as it is the blood of Taizong." ”
"Give me some time." Li Zhidao, "I need to think about it. ”
"Give me an answer tomorrow."
"Three days."
"Three days!" Li Hao glared and exclaimed, "Why don't you say a month?" ”
"Three days, just three days." Li Zhi looked at him solemnly.
Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly, then sighed and said, "Okay, three days later, you must give me an answer, otherwise I will hammer you to death." He deliberately made a vicious expression with Li Zhi.
"Definitely!" Li Zhi nodded, and added, "But in the past three days, don't come to disturb me, let me think about it and ask about the will of heaven." ”
"Ask about providence?" Li Hao was a little confused.
Li Zhi said that he walked to the Sanqing Palace, and then sat cross-legged in front of the Sanqing Dao statue in front of the hall, closed his eyes and settled down.
"Damn! This is the question of providence? Li Hao couldn't complain, he felt that Li Zhi's cultivation was stupid, there was no way, since he promised to give him three days to think about it, then he could only wait here for three days.
However, on the third day, Lu Yun suddenly came, and brought a shocking news, the Anxi Duhufu fell, Fan Lihua had not yet arrived in Qinghai, and met Su Dingfang, who had fled from defeat, and got the news, the Abbasids and Tubo jointly sent 500,000 troops to capture Qinghai, and currently used the Qinghai Acropolis and Fu Qicheng City as a springboard to kill Guanzhong, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, unstoppable, Fan Lihua is maneuvering with the enemy, fighting and retreating all the way, containing the enemy, but the effect is not very obvious, after all, the enemy army has too many troops, And this time it was Garqinling and Yang Fan who led the troops, both of whom were famous generals in the world and should not be underestimated.
As soon as he heard the news, Li Hao suddenly felt that his head exploded, 500,000 troops, these two countries clearly wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty in one go, and besides, Fan Lihua only had 60,000 soldiers and horses, and in the face of 500,000 troops, I don't know if there would be danger.
Thinking that Fan Lihua might be in danger, where could Li Hao take care of anything else, he immediately took Lu Yun and Zhu Ruihuan away from Jingyunguan, and hurried to Chang'an.
Along the way, Li Hao was very glad that he expected to attack, and let Qinghai Wei go to Qinghai as soon as possible, otherwise if there was nothing to stop the Abbasid and Tibetan armies along the way, it is estimated that they have entered Guanzhong, and the people of Guanzhong will suffer a lot.
But he also regretted it, regretted why he wanted Fan Lihua to go, how good it was to let Wang Xiaojie go, anyway, he had a good relationship with Wang Xiaojie, he died, and he didn't feel distressed.
Along the way, he happened to meet the messenger who returned to Chang'an to deliver the war report, and learned that Fan Lihua was still holding back the enemy army, Li Hao was immediately relieved, this time the enemy army was as much as 500,000, Li Hao calculated carefully, in fact, it was nothing, his 100,000 Xuanjia army plus more than 60,000 Qinghai Wei, 160,000 troops, and it was a super elite iron horse, and the combat power definitely exceeded the other party, this seems to be a crisis, but in fact it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to beat Tubo and Abbasid down at the same time.
A rapid march for ten days, just out of the pass, met Fan Lihua's army, at this moment Fan Lihua is a little embarrassed, more than 60,000 Qinghai only 50,000 left, in order to contain the enemy, do not let them enter the pass, Fan Lihua also used all the solution, but the difference between the two sides is too great, she is also very difficult, or with the high mobility of the army to continue to attack, point assault and other methods, to contain them, although she lost 10,000 elite soldiers, but the other party also lost nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, see Li Hao coming, Fan Lihua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Hao and Fan Lihua rendezvous, regrouped the team, that night, the two in the tent against the map to study tactics, currently they are in the Lanzhou boundary, near Gaolan Mountain, the surrounding terrain is very complicated, not suitable for their heavy cavalry combat.
Although it is not suitable for large-scale combat, it is very suitable for raiding and harassing, Li Hao decided to continue the raiding tactics, come, try my raiding tactics.
The high mobility of the heavy cavalry makes them attack, retreat and escape, invincible, since there is such a great natural advantage, it is natural to play well, and they are each equipped with a fast crossbow and grenade, due to the progress of science and technology, the ring lead grenade has come out, easy to use, and very powerful, but only Li Hao's Xuanjia army has it, Li Hao's private army, is definitely the most well-equipped army in the world.
The scouts reported that the enemy army was camped in the mountains thirty miles away, and the area within a radius of more than twenty miles was after all, and it was not a joke because it was an army of 500,000 people.
If you want to attack such a huge army, it is actually very difficult, but Li Hao knows that everything has advantages and disadvantages, the number of enemy troops is huge, and the command and dispatch must be slow to respond, after all, the more people, the more difficult it is to manage, and it takes time for orders to be conveyed layer by layer, just like a person who is too tall and strong, he can have a lot of energy, but his body is not very flexible, and what Li Hao is relying on now is as fast as the wind.
Li Hao broke up his Xuanjia army into twenty raiding detachments, one team for every 5,000 people, attacking and harassing the enemy camp in different locations, and there was no need to rob the camp, run over and throw some grenades or oil or something, and then shoot a few fire arrows, as long as the enemy came to chase, turn around and escape, just do.
That night, Gaolan Mountain bloomed everywhere, looking from the sky, within a radius of more than 20 miles, there were flames everywhere, one after another, and the sound of rumbling explosions came, which was very beautiful.
However, the mood of Garqinling and Yang Fan was not very beautiful, one night, the two were haggard, because they didn't sleep all night, all with the Tang army tossed, the Tang army attacked and harassed many ways at night, set fire, shoot arrows, throw those unknown things that will explode, when they went to pursue, the other party rode horses and fled, fled and fled, and deliberately let them catch up, and then turned back and shot a few rounds of crossbow arrows, leaving a corpse, only then to go away, in the morning the battle damage was counted, they actually lost 20,000 horses, and a lot of materials were also burned and blown up, but they didn't even touch Tang Jun's hair.
"The tactics of the Tang Army have changed, and there are more things that can explode, which is really annoying." In the tooth tent, Garqinling talked to Yang Fan with a gloomy face.
Yang Fan touched his chin with his hand, frowned and said slowly: "I feel that the situation is not right, this is not Fan Lihua's combat style, she doesn't like this kind of combat method very much, although she dealt with us a few days ago, she has never used such tactics." ”
"You mean...... The commander of the Tang Army has changed? Garqin Ling looked at Yang Fan suspiciously.
"Possibly." Yang Fan nodded and said, "Didn't the scout come to report, the reinforcements of the Tang Army have arrived, but I don't know who the main general of this reinforcement is, but it is a bit of a dirty method." ”
"It doesn't matter who he is!" Garqinling snorted coldly, "Li Hao is dead, Wang Xiaojie, Fan Lihua, Xue Rengui, and these three people are not to be afraid, this time, it happens that Datang is in civil strife, we must take the opportunity to capture Datang!" We, Tibet, and you Abbasids, have carved up the Tang Dynasty! ”
