Chapter 209 (Part I)

Like, it's too similar, Yan Eighteen said that the deployment of the sand pirates is simply a copy of the strategy performed by Lin Chenghe, the difference is that the ambush location of the sand pirates is not just in Bison Beach, but more than ten dangerous places have related ambushes, either trapping the horse pit or coming to a hidden arrow, running away after the fight, using guerrilla warfare to eat away at the Tang army's vital force, consuming the morale of the Tang army, and waiting for the Tang army's morale to be sluggish, and then make the final blow, not with the goal of defeating the Tang army, It is also to wait for the Tang army to go deep into the desert, and then seek an opportunity to destroy the logistics supply of the Tang army, which will lead to the collapse of the Tang army without a fight, and what makes the generals feel even more headache is that according to Yan Shiba's analysis, there seems to be a general who collaborates with the enemy in the Yumen Pass defenders, and his status does not seem to be low, and all his actions are afraid that they will not be able to hide from the other party's eyes.

It's hard, it's so hard! Although the generals present are also veterans who have fought a lot of battles, but in the face of the sand thieves to work out this kind of almost scoundrel style of play, it seems to be at a loss, even Lin Chenghe, who also came up with this method, can not find a very good solution, without him, it seems that this kind of guerrilla warfare can best give full play to the mobile combat ability of the cavalry, if the Tang army wants to win, the only way to counter its own people, to maneuver to mobile, and give full play to the strong combat ability of the Tang army, but the problem is that the Tang army cannot act like this now, The reason is very simple, with the princess here, the Tang army can't maneuver at all, if you want to leave the princess in Yumen Pass, and then go deep into the desert to destroy the enemy first, but because the enemy has eyeliner, this plan may not work, unless you can cut off all the eyeliner of those sand thieves in Yumen Pass, but the trouble is that now you are about to set off, but I don't know how many eyeliners the other party has, how to get rid of them? Mobilizing the army of Yumen Pass to cover his own move forward is not afraid of the other party's use of any means, but unfortunately it does not work - not to mention that Guazhou does not belong to the jurisdiction of Anxi, Li Zhen does not have the right to transfer troops in his hands, even if He Wanglong wants to send troops to help, it will not work, unless he gets the holy decree, He Wanglong's soldiers and horses will not be able to leave the realm of Guazhou at all, and furthermore, even if the saint agrees with He Wanglong to send troops, there is still a problem, that is: Yumen Pass can't produce too many soldiers - Yumen Pass is too important, and there must be no loss, In order to ensure the safety of the Yumen Pass, the Yumen Pass has to be stationed with 3,000 soldiers and horses, so that the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses that can be sent out to cooperate with Li Zhen's department are only more than 2,000 people, and once the soldiers and horses of the Yumen Pass are dispatched, it is difficult to guarantee that the sand thieves will not contact the bandits in other regions, so that the Tang army is still facing a dead knot, as for the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the four towns of Anxi under the oppression of strong enemies on all sides, they can only protect themselves, and they want to count on the soldiers of these four towns to help, Its hope is not much different from fishing for the moon in the water.

"Your Highness, although it is difficult to fight for this battle, it is not invincible, the key is in the Yumen Pass, if you can get rid of the sand thieves' eyeline, and then you will plan it, it may not be impossible to gather the sand thieves and annihilate them." In the dead silence, Chen Wu, who had previously lost in the deduction, took the lead in standing up and said loudly.

"Your Royal Highness, the last general thinks that what General Chen said is very true, the sand thieves are scattered all over the place, and my army wants to exterminate them, so I originally had to die, but now the sand thieves are bold enough to dare to gather together to plot against His Highness, this is a good time to gather and annihilate them, the only concern is actually the eyeliner of the sand thieves, I don't know if Eighteen Lang has a way to do this?" As soon as Chen Wu's words fell, You Sifan, who joined the army, immediately stood up and echoed in a loud voice.

"Yes, if the 'Rising Sun' cooperates and clears the eyes of the sand thieves, this battle should be won!"

"That's right, that's right!"

……

Together, the military generals stood up one after another, and for a while the hall was full of echo Chen Wu's words, everyone knew that Yan Eighteen was in charge of the 'Rising Sun', everyone looked at Yan Eighteen expectantly, counting on Yan Eighteen to be able to spit out the three words "no problem" in Yan Eighteen's mouth, but Yan Eighteen was good, no matter how excited the other generals were, he stood still, closed his mouth with a flat face, and didn't say anything.

Hmm, yes, this kid Chen Wu just lost a game, so he can think of this, and it is not in vain for Lao Tzu's cultivation on weekdays. Li Zhen was very satisfied with Chen Wu's style of defeat and discouragement, but he didn't express his position immediately, just smiled, turned his head to look at Lin Chenghe on the right, and asked: "Zifeng (Lin Chenghe's words), what do you think?" ”

As soon as Lin Chenghe heard Li Zhen's question, he didn't dare to slack off, stood up, bowed down and replied: "Your Royal Highness, the last general thinks that what General Chen said is extremely true, but now that time is in a hurry, it is difficult to wipe out all the sand thieves' eyes, once the news is leaked, it is easy to startle the snake, if the thieves change their plans, the passive situation of our army may not be improved, as for how to deal with this situation, the last general has not thought through it for a while, but there is one thing that the last general can be sure, that is-if there is no cooperation of the defenders of Yumen Pass, unless our army does not bring the princess with him, Otherwise, you won't be able to pass through the desert safely! ”

As soon as Lin Chenghe's words came out, the generals in the hall jumped out unconvinced, and accused Lin Chenghe of being cowardly as a mouse, fearing the enemy like a tiger, not for the sake of the general, but Li Zhen didn't see it that way, in his opinion, for the general, it should be the first to think about defeat and then to win, just this article is enough to show that Lin Chenghe has the potential to become a generation of famous generals, and he immediately looked up to him, but he didn't say that he would come out, just smiled and waved his hand, signaling the generals to be quiet, Turning sideways, he looked at Mo Li, who had never said a word from beginning to end, and said, "Master Commander, this king's matter is over, it's time for you to play." ”

Li Zhen's purpose in holding this military conference is not actually to brainstorm, or even to examine the ability of the generals, but to form an atmosphere of discussion, and then gradually realize the purpose of the military academy, this Li Zhen has discussed with Mo Li several times earlier, and now this matter has come to an end, Mo Li understands Li Zhen's true intention to let him play - Liwei, it is Mo Li's prestige, without him, Mo Li has been in Li Zhen's mansion for a long time, but he has always been in the inner courtyard, rarely meets with the generals, and even mostThe masters of the "Eagle Group" have never seen Mo Li's face, which leads to Mo Li's lack of prestige among the generals, and after the Anxi chaos together, Li Zhen can not take care of it all, there are many things that are bound to be presided over by Mo Li, if Mo Li does not have enough prestige, the generals may not be willing to obey his instructions, so that I am afraid that I will make a mistake, this is not the result that Li Zhen is willing to see, therefore, Li Zhen will push Mo Li out at this time, which is to give Mo Li a chance to stand up.

"Your Highness is gracious." Mo Li stood up with a smile, shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "What General Chen said is very reasonable, the key to the matter is indeed in the ears and eyes of the sand thieves, if you don't get rid of it, our army's every move will fall into the eyes of the sand thieves, there is no secret at all, what General Lin said is not bad, the reason why the sand thieves can run rampant in the desert is probably related to its dense eyeliner, if we go all out, we may be able to cut off some, but it is impossible to eliminate all, once the news is leaked, it is not beautiful, but there is no absolute, in a certain opinion, If we don't deal with those thieves, we actually want to cover up, but make the thieves suspicious, and things will have accidents, but a certain plan can make the thieves throw themselves into the net, if it is ......, and then ......, it can be done in one battle, even if it can't wipe out all the thieves, it can also be hit hard! As soon as Mo Li's words came out, all the generals in the hall became excited, and they all talked in small voices, and for a while, the hall was full of buzzing discussions.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Li Zhen no longer hesitated, waved his hand to stop the heated discussion of the generals, and said with a sinking face: "The generals will listen to the order, everything will be carried out according to the plan of the Mo military division, and the things discussed today shall not be leaked, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Yan Eighteen, immediately sent someone to inform He Tingshi, and the troops led by Er to cooperate in closing the net, and the rest of the generals immediately began to prepare, and the morning after tomorrow, the army set off! ”

"Obey Your Highness's orders!" As soon as they heard Li Zhen give the final order, all the generals in the hall hurriedly bowed down, replied in unison, and each stepped back to prepare not to mention it.

On August 22, the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the Yumen Pass was suddenly closed, and the defenders were fully dispatched to cooperate with the county magistrates to carry out a large-scale search and arrest of the whole city, and the eyes of the sand thieves were arrested.

On August 23, the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Chen Shi Zhengpai, stayed in the Yumen Pass for a whole month, the commander of the Anxi Protectorate Yue King Li Zhen finally led the troops to leave the Yumen Pass, embarked on the road to the office, the Yumen Pass defenders sent two thousand cavalry, will be escorted along the road to the junction of Guazhou and Anxi, the army moved, people roared and neighed, the endless stream of cavalry, camels surrounded by more than a dozen carriages out of the Xiongguan, along the fifth road to the Great Wall, all the way to the army is not fast, the momentum is not small, the people of the city are alarmed, Many people went to the street to watch, and in the midst of this chaos, several carrier pigeons flew up one after another in several houses in the Guannai, spreading their wings and flying deep into the desert.

After the army marched all the way, after crossing the Great Wall that had been abandoned for many years, the brigade of men and horses passed through the complex and narrow Xingxing Gorge in turn in ten days, and arrived at the junction of Guazhou and Anxi.

On the third day of the ninth month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, at the moment, seeing that the team had walked out of the Star Gorge, the mission of Xiao Dalong, the deputy envoy of the Yumen Pass town guard who was ordered to escort, was completed, seeing that the road was safe and sound, Xiao Dalong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, restrained the war horse, stopped his own cavalry in front of the army, but he hurriedly galloped to the Chinese army, and when he saw Li Zhen sitting on horseback, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said on one knee: "Your Royal Highness, the front is the boundary of Anxi, and the last general will not dare to cross the border without the holy decree, I can only escort His Highness here, and look at His Highness Haihan. ”

"There is General Lao Xiao, and the king is here to thank you." Li Zhen smiled and waved her hand, signaling Xiao Dalong to get up, but she turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to Xiao Dalong's side, took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from his sleeve with a calm face, and did not speak, just spread it, put the front of the holy decree in front of Xiao Dalong, and said calmly: "General Xiao understands?" ”

In front of the holy purpose, Xiao Dalong could still stand, and he was so frightened that he was busy kneeling, but he never thought that Li Zhen's eyes were quick, so he grabbed Xiao Dalong's arm and said: "The matter is urgent, General Xiao doesn't need to make a big salute, this king has his own explanation, and you come here." Li Zhen lowered his head, whispered a few words in Xiao Dalong's ear, and heard Xiao Dalong's face look suspicious, but his head nodded quickly, and at the end, he took a step back, bowed to Li Zhen and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general knows what to do." ”

"Okay, General Xiao can go by himself." Li Zhen smiled indifferently, put away the holy decree in his hand, turned over on his horse, and waved his horsewhip and said: "All the troops listen to the order, and the whole army will march west!" As soon as the words fell, he urged the war horse, led the middle and rear armies to speed up the march, crossed the stagnant front army, and galloped towards the depths of the desert.

"Go back!" Looking at Li Zhen's department and leaving the dust, Xiao Dalong was silent for a long time, suddenly shouted, took the lead in turning the horse's head, and rode towards the Xingxing Gorge not far away, more than 2,000 cavalry followed in the roaring sound of horses' hooves, and the sand and dust had rushed into the Xingxing Gorge, and after a few moments, surging out from the other end, galloping in the direction of Yumen Pass without looking back, when the dust was gone, three or four carrier pigeons suddenly flew up on the Xingxing Gorge, and flew up to the blue sky, flying straight to the west.

Willow Garden, as the name suggests, is a place with a willow tree, of course, this willow tree is by no means an ordinary willow, but claims to stand for a thousand years without falling, down a thousand years of not rotting poplar, in the endless sea can have such a poplar forest to survive, it is really a rare thing, although this forest is next to the fifth road, from time to time passing business travel, but the wild beasts in the desert are still fearlessly gathered in the forest, just to avoid the unbearable scorching sun, enjoy the rare refreshment in the summer, the crowded moose herd, antelope herd is too many to countEven Li Zhen did not expect that there would be so many wild animals hidden in this poplar forest, and for a while, he ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, but he led Chen Wu and other outstanding archery to the forest to shoot and hunt, less than half a day, and gained a lot, so the people of the Yue Wangfu who camped here opened a barbecue dinner, the bonfire was blazing, the game was fragrant, and the wine was overflowing. It's not a lot of fun.

The Tang army was making a lot of noise, but Amoti and the others behind a sand beam thousands of kilometers away from the Tang army camp were very worried, without him, more than 300 Turkic cavalry under Amoti's department had arrived at Liuyuan three days ago, but in order to hide their whereabouts and not let the merchants who came and go notice, Amoti's department had to shrink behind the sand beam, neither dared to set up camp, nor did they dare to make a fire to make food, they could only stay up in the wind and sun, not to mention hunting in the willow forest, at this time smelling the aroma of wine and meat wafting from the Tang army camp, listening to the faint noise in my ears, the depression in my stomach is not to mention how uncomfortable.

"Big brother, Tang Jun doesn't seem to be prepared, or we rush at him, and it would be worth the trip to grab a carriage, tsk, little brother has heard that these carriages are full of good things, there are a lot of silk alone, and it is said that there are several cars full of jewelry, if you can really get it, you will die beautiful!" Amoti's brother Awangda climbed the sand beam with his hands and feet, and came to Amoti's side, who was observing the movement of the Tang army's camp, and swallowed his saliva and said.

Li Zhen is rich, and the whole world knows that this time when he went out of Zhenanxi, he brought a lot of property with him, which he couldn't hide from the eyes of the sand thieves, looking at the lax and defenseless appearance of the Tang Army, Amotti was also very moved, otherwise he would not stare at the Tang Army camp, and he would not have moved for a long time, but at this time, when he heard his brother say this, Amotti did not dare to accept it, and hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's not good, Boss Liu is not easy to mess with, although our brothers have support behind them, But far away in the Altai Mountains, if it really hurts Boss Liu's business, then ......"

Nwanda was young and vigorous, and he didn't care about Liu Whirlwind's prestige at all, and said with a sneer: "Fuck the bullshit" Whirlwind thief', our brothers finished this vote, immediately left, change the place is not still alive, besides, Liu Boss dared to fight the idea of the king of Yue this time, turn around and provoke the army to encircle and suppress, I wait for my brother not to leave, still stay and wait for death, hey, look at the Tang army so lax, I will rush, they will have to bomb the camp, our brothers do not plan to fight for a long time, grab a handful and leave, wait for the Tang army to come to their senses, I will go away a long time ago, hey, if the Tang army is angry, find Liu Whirlwind to send it, big brother, rush it, just like this, enough for the brothers to live a happy life for ten years and eight years。 ”

Amotti's face kept changing, he raised his head to look at the sky, and when he saw that the moon was getting brighter, he shook his head uncomfortably and said: "At this time, you can't rush, as soon as the brothers move, the Tang army will inevitably notice that if we really want to fight, we can't win, so let's wait a little longer, and see how the situation of the Tang army in the second half of the night is settled." ”

Seeing the tempting meaning in Amotti's words, Nwanda suddenly perked up, grinned and said silently: "Okay, don't worry, eldest brother, the younger brother will order the brothers to rest first and wait until the second half of the night to move." As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Amotti a chance to repent, his burly body twisted a few times like a snake, retreated from the sand beam, and went straight to order the sand thieves not to mention it, Amorti looked back at his younger brother sliding down the back of the sand beam, his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but at the end he still didn't say anything, just sighed, shook his head, turned his head, and continued to stare at the Tang army camp, observing the Tang army's every move......
