(Thanks to Jiayou 229, the fish will cry the two monthly ticket support, thank you.) There will be updates in the evening, so stay tuned! ）

Li Keyong and Li Guochang combined, there are 30,000 soldiers. Although the real elite Shatuo army here is less than 10,000, even this is enough to make Li Jing secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. The elite of the Shatuo soldiers, a cavalry of 10,000 people, in the place of Daibei, can really be said to be invincible.

"What about the officers and soldiers?"

Got rid of the Zhendong Army, and the imperial court still had six soldiers and horses.

"Zhaoyi, Yicheng, Hezhong, and Zhongwu have a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, of which 6,000 are Yicheng troops, and the other three roads are 5,000 each. There were 30,000 troops in Hedong, but some of them were stationed in various cities, and they had been defeated for a while, and now only 15,000 were assembled in Hedong. In addition, Yu Gong camped in the west, there were 3,000 Tiande troops, and Yu Gong also summoned the Tuyuhun chieftain Helianduo and Bai Yicheng to send troops, Helianduo and Bai Yicheng led 3,000 Tuyuhun cavalry to help, and the west camp had a total of 6,000 men and horses. ”

Li Jing nodded, in the city of Jinyang, Taiyuan, 30,000 soldiers and horses from five towns had been gathered. Now there are 6,000 soldiers in the western camp, and 20,000 soldiers and horses in the eastern camp. Calculated that the total strength reached 56,000, which was completely superior to Li Ke in terms of father and son forces. With 20,000 soldiers and horses, the Zhendong Army became the one with the most soldiers and horses in the seven towns.

"How do you think we should fight this battle?" Li Jing raised his head and looked at Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji, and Zhou Dewei, with a sense of comparison in his eyes.

Wang Yanzhang can barely understand the map now, but he still doesn't understand these strategies. See did not speak. Then he blushed and said, "We have an army of 20,000." There is a way to drop ten points with one force. Let's just come directly to the top of Mount Tai, take Ulzhou directly, and then take Shuozhou, the nest of the Shatuo people. ”

Li Jing didn't speak, just nodded encouragingly.

Gao Siji scratched his head and said, "In my opinion, what Wang Tiegun said is good, with our strength, we can directly copy Li Keyong's lair." Then he flanked Li Keyong with Taiyuan's soldiers and horses. ”

"Bohu, what do you think?" Li Jing turned his head and asked Liu Xun.

"Iron Spear and Chengwu have a point, but I think the trick that the county prince used when he was in Youzhou to besiege the city and send reinforcements is very good. To deal with Li Keyong, we can repeat the same old tricks. Besiege Ulzhou first, if the soldiers and horses in the cities of Yunzhou and Shuozhou come to help, we can send reinforcements. If they don't come, we can simply take Ulzhou, and then surround Yunzhou Prefecture and Shuozhou, and fight all the way. Liu Xun agreed with Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji's proposal. But a little more.

Li Jing smiled and continued to nod, and asked Zhou Dewei again.

Zhou Dewei thought about it. Shen groaned: "I think the few people said it very well, I'll just add one point." Before we send troops, we can send people to inform Zheng Xianggong of Taiyuan and Yu Gong of Tiande, so that they can do it at the same time. At present, Li Keyong is confronting Zheng Xianggong at Taiyuan Tianmen Pass, as long as Zheng Xianggong can drag Li Keyong for a while, we can successfully copy Li Keyong's back road. In addition, please ask the Tiande army Yu Gong to do it together, so didn't Li Guochang go south to attack Youzhou, then let the Tiande army go to copy the back road of the Zhenwu army Shan Yudu Hufu. We will do it on three sides, and when Li Guochang and Li Keyong's nest is lost, the morale of the army will inevitably drop greatly. When they return to the division to take it, we can set up an ambush halfway, so that victory can be expected. ”

"Well, that's all good. Each of you has said the point, copying the back road of the Shatuo people and besieging the city to send reinforcements, this is a good plan. I will also mention a little later, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying, attacking the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom. I think that even if Li Guochang's father and son rebel, it does not mean that all the people in Daibei are willing to rebel. There must be a part of it that is just helplessly coerced. In other words, there are some people who don't really care about loyalty, just to see who can give a higher price. Although we are not ashamed of these people, if we can win them, we should still fight for them. ”

Zhendongjun has always been rich, and Li Jing is also a generous person. If it can be bought with money, then Li Jing will not mind paying for it, because Li Jing has always believed that such an investment is absolutely cost-effective and can definitely recover the cost.

After returning to the camp after going down the mountain, Li Jing immediately summoned Li Zhen, Guo Cheng'an, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, Gao Shunli and other generals. The strategy of negotiating on the mountain was come up, and Li Zhen and the others were very satisfied with this plan. Next, it is just to refine the plan and discuss the details.

After the meeting, Li Jing immediately wrote more than ten handwritten letters, which were sent to Yu Xuan of the Tiande Army and Zheng Congyan of Taiyuan. Other letters were sent to these Hu leaders in Daibei, such as Helian Duo and Bai Yicheng of Tuyuhun and Li Youjin, the governor of Shatuo, Mi Haiwan, the chief of Sagar, Shi Jingcun, the chief of the Anqing tribe, and the Qibi chapter of the Tiele tribe, and Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the party in Youzhou. For these leaders of the soldiers, Li Jing was very bold this time, and each of them gave a thousand taels of gold, and asked them to deal with Li Keyong together. Most of these tribal chiefs were vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and now only the three tribes of Shatuo, Shatuo, Sage, and Anqing are still on the side of Li Keyong.

In addition, he also gave Shuozhou's guard Gao Wenji and Yunzhou's guard Fu Wenda also gave them a generous gift and asked them to do it anyway.

At the same time, Li Jing led his troops south, and the Hengye Army in Dingbian City, Ulju bore the brunt. Because Li Jing sent Li Juyi's crane control battalion and Guo Zhenshan's flying cavalry battalion to succeed Guo Zhenhai, there were also the silver saddle battalion led by Gao Siji, the flying cavalry battalion led by Li Wei, the ranger battalion led by Li Yuan, and the rapid attack of five cavalry battalions.

Five battalions of 10,000 cavalry, this is the strongest and most elite soldiers and horses of the Zhendong Army today. It only took them two days to reach the door of the Yokono Army's house in Dingbian City, Ulzhou. The Yokono army only had 3,000 men and horses, and at this time, most of them were also sent to follow Li Ke to use the sun, and there were only 500 men and horses left in the military city.

There are 500 people in the Hengye Military City, basically all of them are Fan soldiers Hu'er, and the guard is Kang Sheng, a Shatuo man. When he heard the news of the arrival of a large army, he already knew that it was too late for him to withdraw. After sending only a few messengers to report to Ulju, he ordered the battle to be fought behind closed doors.

However, not long after leaving the city, the messengers sent by the Yokono army were intercepted by the rangers sent by Levi, all of them were shot, and the letters were captured. After the cavalry surrounded the Yokono military city, they did not immediately attack the city, but left the ranger battalion to besiege the city, and the remaining three battalions immediately dispersed to clear the entire military city within thirty miles.

Li Jing entered the Jin Dynasty this time, and he had already given an order to forcibly move all the Hu people in the rebel territory. Those who dare to disobey orders will be directly arrested and slaves. This trick is a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, directly cutting off the possibility of these Hu people continuing to make trouble from the source. Although it is too outrageous to do so, it is very likely to cause greater unrest and so on. But Li Jing doesn't care, this is someone else's territory, but it is not under his own rule.

He sent troops to quell the chaos, and the court did not pay him food and salary, which was not a small expense. These Hu people happened to be captured as slaves, brought back to Dengzhou, and rewarded to the soldiers. It was a little difficult to accept the arrest of Han compatriots Li Jing, but Li Jing would not have any mental obstacles in arresting these Hu people. The cattle and sheep of these Hu people happened to be used as military food, and their money and food were not confiscated as rewards for the soldiers.

No one objected to Li Jing's order, let alone anyone objected. Fighting and looting, this is a normal thing. As the Zhendong Army did before, there was no crime in the autumn of transit, how could I hear of such a thing. At present, the soldiers are on a campaign outside, and looting at the right time can stimulate the morale of the soldiers. At the same time, it is also an excellent way to demoralize the opponent and weaken the enemy's strength.

However, even if the Zhendong army robbed, it had to be different from other armies.

The Zhendong army plundered, the army could not be chaotic, every time it went down, at least one of them had to act together, and it was strictly forbidden to act alone. Moreover, the looted materials must not be kept privately, but must be returned to the public. Of course, Li Jing will not take a fancy to this bit of loot, and the last three percent of the loot collected will be used as a reward for the soldiers, and the rest will be stored for military use. And more importantly, robbery is robbery, and you can't kill people at will. It is strictly forbidden to kill people at will unless the other party resists. Adultery with women is even more prohibited, and if these are violated, they will be punished severely. For every operation, the marquis are in charge of military discipline.

Historically, Li Ke fought the anti-Tang war for almost four years, and after the last Li Ke was defeated and fled to the Tatar Department under the Yin Mountain.

This time, Li Jing was reluctant to fight with Li Keyong for four years.

After the cavalry surrounded the Hengye military city for two days, Li Jing led the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses to arrive. For a small military city with only 500 people, the 20,000-strong army had no effort at all, and under the attack of only one round of arrow rain, the Zhendong army had already smashed open the city gate and entered the city. Kang Sheng died directly under the rain of arrows, and some of the remaining people and horses were also killed directly.

"Take away all the food, money, and food in the city, and take away the people, and then set the fire to burn the city!" Li Jing did not leave the city, let alone divide his troops to stay behind. In a place like Daibei, there are too many soldiers, it is meaningless, and if you leave less, you may be killed by those Tibetan tribes. simply don't divide the troops, just kill all the way over.

There are not many people in the city of the Hengye Army, there are less than 10,000 people, and most of them are the families of the Hengye Army. Some of them resisted violently, but were killed on the spot. Some tried to escape, but were killed by random arrows. The rest were afraid of the Zhendong Army, and were honestly driven out of their homes, carrying only rudimentary luggage.

However, when the Zhendong army was catching sheep in the sheepfold of a family, a teenager suddenly rushed out and knocked down several soldiers with a wooden stick. The soldiers who had been knocked down rose up and were knocked down again.

One of the soldiers, who was still a gang leader, immediately blew the whistle on his neck.

"Beep! ~~~”

The iron whistle was extremely harsh, making Li Jing, who was passing by, frown. At this time, the whistle is blown, and the sound is so urgent, this is the whistle that needs reinforcements. At this time, why do you still need reinforcements, is there something unexpected?

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Li Jing waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the place where the whistle came. (To be continued......)
