Chapter 962: Planning

However, what the old lieutenant didn't know was that Li Er also had his difficulties now.

Li Chengqian's strong rise made Lao Li feel a great 'threat', and a feeling of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves was always entwined in Li Er's heart.

It is true that the crushing of the army can defeat the reinforcements of Goguryeo, but this will be somewhat clumsy, and the casualties will be more than expected, and if this is a certain general, it is not a problem.

But the current situation is Li Er's personal enlistment, if such a situation happens, it will undoubtedly leave a 'stupid' impression on Li Chengqian, who is far away in Chang'an, which does not conform to Li Er's previous image.

If Li Chengqian is like in history, Li Er's sense of urgency may not be so strong, but the current situation is that the kid has begun to emerge, and if there is such a situation, Lao Li always feels that he will be very faceless as a father.

So Li Er didn't consider Wei Chigong's suggestion at all, just glanced at him lightly, and then said: "Mao Gong, I give you 15,000 steps to ride, you may be able to stop the 150,000 army of Goguryeo?" ”

"I want to fight to the last soldier!" Li Ji replied in a deep voice.

The famous Xu Maogong knew that Li Er would never let his subordinates fall to the ground, and there would inevitably be other arrangements for him to block the Goguryeo army, so he did not prevaricate.

"Good!" Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, I will give you 20,000 cavalry, enter the mountain immediately, and only wait for the Goguryeo reinforcements to fight against Mao Gong, and cut off his back road from his rear, is it possible?" ”

"Swear to death!" The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji are the same, and they also received military orders without a word.

"Is anyone willing to climb to the top of the mountain with me and enjoy the picturesque scenery of Goguryeo?" After arranging Li Ji and the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Er said with a smile.

"Wait and go!" The rest of the people in the tent said in unison.

Obviously, what Li Er said was a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, using himself as bait to fish for Goguryeo reinforcements.

The big tent is full of old killers, even if they don't understand it in the front, but Li Er also understands it when he talks about climbing to enjoy the scenery, and they all show a hideous smile!

The Tang Emperor personally conquered Goguryeo, and before he was about to break through the first fortified city in Liaodong, it was not difficult to understand that he would climb to the top and appreciate the territory that was about to belong to him.

Although the emperor will bring his own pro-army when he travels, the number will not be many, and if there are more, he will lose interest, and the number of people cannot exceed 5,000. But even so, the emperor's guard of honor is still not small, if it is on the top of the mountain, I am afraid that it can be seen ten miles away.

So what will the Goguryeo reinforcements think when they see this? In the face of 15,000 escorted infantry, did they choose to rush up to capture the thief and capture the king first, and solve this Tang Crusade in one fell swoop? Or continue to march into Anshi City, rely on the city to confront the Tang Dynasty, and finally be completely wiped out? Such a simple question, as long as you are an individual, you know how to choose, right?

The plan is a good plan, but the key question is whether Li Ji can withstand the 150,000 Goguryeo army, and if so, what if he can't? And will the 20,000 cavalry of the eldest grandson Wuji be able to arrive on time? If he can't reach the designated position on time, then it is foreseeable that Li Er will inevitably experience a bloody battle, or even a .......

But despite this, no one still dissuaded Li Er, even Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other old people did not say anything to stop it, but fought to accompany Lao Li up the mountain.

"Do you believe in Mao Gong and Mowgli so much? If any of the two of them fails, I'm afraid that our monarchs and ministers will have to go to Huangquan together! Li Er looked at a group of old killers who were discussing with great interest what to bring to enjoy the scenery, and found that no one was worried about what would happen if the strategy failed, so he couldn't help but ask with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers underestimate Goguryeo, although this country is known as a soldier in the whole country, but if it really starts, I'm afraid that the children won't be able to cope with it!" Duan Zhixuan smiled and said quietly.

Some time ago, in the battle of Liaodong City, the eldest son of his family led the team to attack the city, and finally the drum fell, which made Lao Duan feel that his face was even bright, and when he met people for half a month, he praised his son for how he was, so it was not unfounded to say that he could rely on juniors alone at this time.

"Yes, we are already old, and this crusade is probably our last chance to show our talents!" Li Er was aroused by Lao Duan's words, let out a long sigh, and once again thought of Li Chengqian, who was far away in Chang'an.

The occupation of the Northern Expedition, the Battle of the Western Regions, the Battle of Tubo, the Battle of Tianzhu, one battle after another, except for the Northern Expedition, which was fought by the veteran of Tiance, the later wars were basically fought by the younger generation, even if they were not the main force, there were also shadows of these young people on the battlefield.

Li Er thought of Li Chengqian, thought of himself when he was young, and thought of a group of Tiance veterans under his command.......

The current Li Chengqian is very similar to Li Er when he was young, although there are not many capable warriors under him, but they are all strong.

In terms of force, Xue Rengui overwhelmed Tubo in Songzhou; Su Dingfang replaced Li Ji and stationed in Dingxiang to suppress Xue Yantuo; Wei Chi Baolin's troops were stationed in Gaochang to deter the Western Regions; Dugu Yulin is rampant in the South China Sea .......

In terms of Wenchen, Ma Zhou became the master of the Chinese book; Li Jingxuan is in charge of Qingzhou; Du Wei was in charge of Dengzhou .......

And Li Chengqian himself is no stranger to military and political affairs, and judging from the intelligence of the first one this time, his ambition seems to be not small, although many things are incomprehensible, but this does not affect Li Er's judgment of his son.

What will the future of Datang look like? At present, it has only been 17 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, what will Datang be like if it is another 17 years? According to the current speed of development, I am afraid that in ten years, Datang will be invincible in this land, right?

Li Er, who was distracted, suddenly had an impulse, an urge to hand over the army to his son to see where he could take Datang, but this thought simply flashed in his mind and did not stay for too long.

Although the title of Lao Li is old, he is really old, Li Er was only in his thirties when he was eight years old, and he has not yet reached the point where he needs to be old. In his opinion, he can be the emperor for a few more decades, and the matter of Chan Rang will be talked about at that time.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What is this steam engine? What is a hydropower plant? And this electric light phone or something, have you ever heard of it? Li Er, who was distracted, was disturbed by a gong-like sound, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Cheng Lao was taking the information that had just been brought in to look at it, and he also took the question he had just asked Changsun Wuji and others, but he lost it back!
