Chapter 18: Divide and Combine Forces

There are many times, a simple thing, in the eyes of a person who is not simple, it will no longer be simple, such as the matter of Wukong's reduction of troops, in the eyes of Li Shimin, it is definitely a big conspiracy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Divide the troops to return to Beiliang? No, no, Rabbit Rice hasn't started yet. Divide the army to attack the big star? It is also possible to divide troops and hide, and suddenly attack at a critical moment. Divide troops to attack the grain roads in our rear? Yes, this is the most likely. What the hell is Ghost Li trying to do?" Li Shimin sat in the carriage, frowning and looking at the map, constantly thinking about it.

Originally, Li Tang's battle plan was very clear, to put it simply, first drag Liang Shidu, a weak chicken, and quickly kill Liu Wuzhou, then turn around and go back to pick Liang Shidu, and finally, force Guo Zihe to surrender.

In doing so, you can kill these three people as quickly as possible, and then quietly wait for the arrival of the fierce slave.

However, Li Gui unexpectedly rushed out of the Northern Liang, which had already made Li Tang have to change his original plan, from attacking Liu Wuzhou first to attacking Li Gui and Liang Shidu first.

It's good now, Wukong suddenly divided his troops at this time, which can be regarded as directly completely completely stunned Li Shimin, so that he can't make up his mind at all which enemy to attack first.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin asked his little cousin who was also in the car: "Daozong, what do you think about the division of troops by Ghost Li?"

If Wukong sees this little cousin now, he will have to die happily, because this little cousin named Li Daozong looks like a noodle melon, and he is even fatter than him!

When Li Daozong saw his second brother asking himself, he said a little worriedly: "Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Gui, the total number of soldiers and horses in the three parties is 500,000, which is already more than us. No matter why Ghost Li divided his troops, in fact, the general direction of our attack was always the east and the west. So, I think, everything is the same, and it is not a matter of worrying to concentrate forces to kill one first, and the other. ”

After Li Shimin listened to his little cousin's suggestion, he immediately faced this distant little cousin in his heart, and he looked up to it!

He originally thought that this stupid-looking little cousin was the oil bottle that his father had forced into him, and he was purely here to mix up military exploits.

However, now it seems that this little cousin of the melon seems to be very difficult.

"Then do you think that it is Li Ghost and Liang Shidu who will attack the west first, or Liu Wuzhou who will attack the east first?" Li Shimin calmly continued to ask his little cousin.

After Li Daozong pondered for a while, Nuo Nuo replied: "The situation in the west is unknown now, but Duan Detao seems to be unable to hold on for a while. The current situation in the east is completely clear, and Liu Wuzhou will move south at any time. So, I think the key to this battle is neither east nor west, but north. If Guo Zihe surrenders now, our army will win. ”

Li Shimin has always tended to level Liu Wuzhou first, and then attack Liang Shidu, although he also attaches great importance to Guo Zihe in the northernmost part, but he always ranks the other party in the position of the last to clean up.

Now after Li Daozong's reminder, he immediately increased Guo Zihe's weight a lot in his heart.

"Daozong, I will divide your 50,000 soldiers and horses, how sure are you that you will say that Guo Zihe will be surrendered, and how sure will you be that Guo Zihe will be dragged down?" Li Shimin asked his little cousin very seriously.

After listening to the second brother's words, seventeen-year-old Li Daozong was suddenly stupid!

His father and Li Yuan are cousins, so they entrusted the relationship and forced him into Li Shimin's army, Li Daozong is actually here to mix military merits, his father didn't expect him at all, he can have any outstanding performance, as long as he can mix some credit casually, it is already very good.

However, now the second brother wants him to lead the troops alone, and the opponent is still the world-famous King Yongle of Northern Xinjiang, for Li Daozong, who is on the battlefield for the first time, this is simply an extremely terrible and arduous task.

"That...... That one...... , handsome, I am only thirty percent sure at most that Guo Zihe will be lowered. As for holding him back...... , should be 50% sure. Li Daozong lowered his head and replied to the second brother embarrassedly.

Li Shimin looked at his little cousin, who was not at all promising, and he was a little angry in his heart, but considering that the other party was on the battlefield for the first time, he calmed down his anger again.

"In that case, you will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses in a while to join Duan Detao. I'll give you a token, you don't use it lightly. Learn more from Duan Detao first, but if you find a fighter, tell him quickly. If he doesn't listen, you take the token out. Li Shimin said this, then took out a token from his arms and handed it to his little cousin.

Then, Li Shimin continued to instruct: "You go to the west this time, and there are two main tasks. The first is to cooperate with Duan Detao to destroy Liang Shidu and Li Gui, and the second is that if Guo Zihe goes south, you must drag him to death! Don't worry, within half a month, I will destroy Liu Wuzhou. At that point, I'll naturally go to your reinforcements. You cheer me up, and have a little confidence in yourself! Guo Zihe is not vulnerable at all!"

Li Daozong knew that the second brother's words were purely to comfort him, he could never take it seriously, and he must not underestimate any of the six lords of the six countries in Northern Xinjiang, so Li Daozongqiang cheered up a little and assured the second brother.

"Yes, the last general will follow the instructions of the commander and ensure that the task is completed. After speaking, Li Daozong stood up with a twist, and saluted Li Shimin with both hands in fists.

For this little cousin who looks a little bit faced, Li Shimin is very optimistic, he feels that the other party is definitely a talent that can be created, and it is very likely that Li Daozong will grow into a top commander who can stand alone in the future!

So, after personally sending off his little cousin, Li Shimin called all the leading generals under him into the chariot.

When Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien, Tang Jian, Liu Hongji, and the four of them stepped into the chariot, Li Shimin directly told the four of them about the combat arrangements he had set.

"Liu Wuzhou commanded 200,000 troops, and went south to invade our territory, and we, as Datang military generals, should bravely kill the enemy and defend the country! However, the enemy army is in full swing, and the generals are brave and strong, and our army must not be underestimated. Therefore, I decided to garrison a hundred walls, wait for work, and wait for the arrival of the enemy. Liu Hongji stepped forward to listen to the order!" Li Shimin turned his head and drank to Liu Hongji.

After Liu Hongji stepped forward, Li Shimin ordered him solemnly: "Liu Wuzhou is now fighting fiercely with Li Zhongwen of Pink Sheep City, and this marshal ordered you to have 30,000 elite soldiers, rush to Xixian County, and wait for the opportunity to support Pink Sheep." Did you hear me clearly?"

After Liu Hongji received the order, Li Shimin said to the other three without doubt

"Tell the three armies, speed up for me at once! Before dawn tomorrow, our army must rush to Baibi! Do you hear clearly? We must arrive!" Li Shimin looked at the three generals with a mountain of momentum.

Although Li Xiaoji is Li Shimin's distant cousin, although Tang Jian is Li Shimin's hardcore confidant, and Dugu Huaien is a battle-hardened general, at this moment, none of them dared to question King Qin's orders, and they all honestly bowed their heads and accepted their orders.

After a few people received the order and left the chariot, Li Shimin reined in his momentum, slowly let out a sigh, and then lay on the simple bench and began to close his eyes and rest.

He has done all the things that should be done, and he has already laid out all the things that should be arranged, and the rest of the things will depend on God's arrangement.

Li Shimin's game this time was very simple, and only one child was left behind, that is, Liu Hongji.

However, Liu Hongji's son fell, it was so beautiful, absolutely amazing!

From Taiyuan City to the south, is the hundred walls that Li Shimin wants to reach, this place is backed by mountains and water, it is definitely a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Shimin chose this place as the main station, it can only be regarded as good, but it is not beautiful.

If there is a straight line between Taiyuan City and Baibi, then you can find a very interesting thing, the Xixian County that Liu Hongji is going to now is in the center of this straight line!

In other words, Liu Hongji seems to be a miscellaneous soldier all the way, but at a critical moment, he can either go north to support Pink Sheep or go south to support Baibi.

The entire battlefield is equivalent to being divided into two by Li Shimin, but it can be connected together to form a joint force through Liu Hongji as the central axis!

Li Zhongwen, Liu Hongji, Li Shimin, Pink Sheep, Xixian, and Baibi were originally three places that were far apart, but it was precisely because of Liu Hongji that the elbow-like existence made the palms and shoulders form a powerful arm together.

Now that the battlefield has been divided into two parts by Li Shimin, does Liu Wuzhou dare to let Li Shimin go north to Taiyuan City? He already has few soldiers, and if Li Shimin is allowed to come up, then he will die.

Therefore, Liu Wuzhou must divide his troops to stop Li Shimin, but at most, he only dares to divide all the troops and horses, and no matter how many there are, he will definitely not dare to divide them.

There are already few troops, and if he divides some of his troops, then, of course, his offensive pressure on the pink sheep will be reduced accordingly.

Li Shimin led the army to garrison hundreds of walls, only facing Liu Wuzhou's partial division all the way, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to lose, right?

After the defeat of this partial division, it will be Liu Hongji's performance time, he has already broken the back road of this partial division early, under the front and back attacks, is there still a way to survive for this small partial division?

To put it simply, if Liu Wuzhou divides his troops, then he will be defeated at the same time on both battlefields, and in the end, of course, he will be defeated.

This is all the layout of Li Shimin's battle, it is really awesome!

However, it is still true, Li Shimin has never fought with Liu Wuzhou at all, and he doesn't know how capable the little partial division sent by Liu Wuzhou is!

This battle is a perfect interpretation, what is called a strategy no matter how high it is, I am afraid of kitchen knives, if it weren't for the series of accidents later, then Li Shimin's battle would definitely be defeated!
