Three days passed quickly, and Li Ji, the general manager of the march, successively received the number of soldiers from Li Kuanbao. On the first day, he chose a full 600 people, the second day 300 people, and the last day he chose 100. People, it happened to make up a thousand people, but Li Kuan’s operation made Li Ji a little puzzled. He felt that Li Kuan was perfunctory. The vanguard of this thousand people was completely pieced together. Everyone is his own army. In the bottom or not prominent, there are no specialties.
"His Royal Highness, is it because joining the army didn't give you a roster?" Li Ji kindly reminded, "These soldiers are really okay?"
Li Kuan smiled and replied: "Of course, there are too many people on the roster, and it's too much to see. As long as these people are enough!"
"But they are not elite!"
Li Ji still couldn't tell the truth. The difference between these soldiers and the elite is unknown. He joined the army and gave Li Kuan a roster of elite soldiers. Li Kuan directly bypassed these elites. Even the cavalry had no choice. Li Ji was certain that Li Kuan deliberately avoided these people. Specially selected the worst soldiers in the army, some of which are not physically fit, and some are bottomed with bows and arrows. He really doubts whether these people can fight Xue Yantuo's army and see no merit at all. .
"Since he can enter the barracks, he is definitely a qualified soldier. There is no worst soldier, only the worst general!" Li Kuan said lightly, "These soldiers are indeed not the top soldiers among the Datong Army, Shanyang Army, and Changning Army. They are not part of the cavalry, some are even more troopers, but it is precisely in this way that they are qualified to become a member of the Scarlet Cloud Army."
Li Ji pricked his ears and listened intently, "The agreement between my majesty and me, the marshal should know that this is an opportunity. Similarly, from my point of view, they also need an opportunity, very similar to me, wealth and wealth are in danger. Please, isn't that the truth?"
Li Kuan went on to say, “This time the battle with Xue Yantuo’s tribe coincides with the turn of autumn and winter. The cold wind is raging here, and our army is fully prepared. This battle is an inevitable trend. However, I must complete the agreement when I win. I came here to ask the commander for orders and allow the Chixiao Army to act alone."
Li Ji frowned when he heard this, and did not speak for a long time. As the commander of the army, he knew the danger and consequences of Li Kuan's separation of his army from the main force. If the Chixiao Army acted alone to expose its whereabouts, it would cause Xue Yantuo's army to take precautions and directly affect the entire battle; if Li Kuan was captured, then they would become very passive.
Now it has been proved that Xue Yantuo’s troops have a strength of 200,000. Only the generous 30,000 cavalry appeared outside the scope of Shuozhou, and most of the remaining troops were held by forces in the other four directions. This also made Shuozhou stressed. On the other hand, the strength of one's own forces is far better than that of magnanimity, even if it is head-on, it is still fearless.
Li Ji did not give any instructions. On the one hand, he was waiting for Li Kuan to choose a good person. On the other hand, he needed to delay the time and exhaust the energy of Xue Yantuo's army under his generous leadership. Moreover, according to the spy's report, Xue Yantuo's army finally had movement. , Li Ji also knew the time had come. The fastest full text of 噺⒏⑴祌 んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/
With the Turkic forces currently unable to resist, they will not be able to maintain the initiative if they will set up a firm prison to occupy Monan, and then send envoys to Beijing to request peace. Li Ji's sluggishness was waiting for this moment, waiting for the magnanimous set to be unable to sit still before sending troops to fight back.
"His Royal Highness, how confident are you?" Li Ji asked seriously.
Li Kuan replied truthfully: "There is no one in Chengdu, but I can guarantee that the Chixiao Army will never become a prisoner."
"Where did your Highness's intentions be more appropriate?" Li Kuan said straightforwardly, "There is a 50% certainty in the ambush of Qingshan!"
As for why I chose the green mountain to set up ambush, because Shi Rui, Li She, Li Dalle, and Li Zhen are all very familiar with the terrain there, and there is a place north of the green mountain is Nuozhen Water. This place is within the border of Xue Yantuo's family. It can be said that Shi Rui is very familiar with the terrain there. Those who are familiar with the environment there can no longer be familiar with it. This was also agreed upon by a few people over the past three days. If you want to capture the magnanimous setting, you must do it in Qingshan.
"General Xue, what do you think?" Li Ji is a good commander, but there is also deputy commander Xue Wanche. He arrived here yesterday. It happened that the two of them discussed the combat strategy together. Li Kuan was also a little surprised when he saw Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche was not surprised at all.
"In the end, the general thought that this method is feasible for His Highness, but according to the situation reported by the scout, Xue Yantuo's iron cavalry is true. It is not ruled out that there are soldiers such as infantry. The only ones are the infantry, the cavalry hasn’t moved."
Xue Wanche and Li Ji were discussing the issue of Xue Yantuo’s military strength. If there were only 30,000 cavalry, they wouldn’t have to worry about having a back player. Xue Wanche was a straight-headed man. He didn’t go around in circles. This meant to remind Li Kuan. Be careful. A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
Although Li Shimin gave Li Kuan military power, he could only bring a thousand troops, and the edict also made Li Kuan a vanguard general. Doesn't it mean that he really brought a thousand soldiers and horses to fight Xue Yantuo with tens of thousands of cavalry. ? Naturally, Li Ji wouldn't be so stupid that he would bring a thousand soldiers and horses to the frontal attack, absolutely dead or alive.
Since this is not the goal, Li Shimin’s goal is obviously to capture the Dadu, and the 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Kuan are the wonders. You don’t need to follow the marching route of the army. Everything is determined by Li Kuan himself, and it is nominally attributed to Li Ji. In charge of the marshal, Li Kuan actually has the right to make his own decisions.
"General Xue, don't worry, if you can't beat it, then run!" Li Kuan immediately replied, "It doesn't matter if you are generous and find us. The big deal is to run back. Don't forget that there is the majestic main force of the Tang Dynasty behind our Chixiao Army. , Give him some courage and dare not deal with us."
Seeing Li Kuan's decision, Li Ji discussed with Xue Wanche and agreed that Li Kuan would lead the army to act alone, but both of them repeatedly urged Li Kuan not to be greedy for meritorious merits, so as not to fall into the trap. Injury is a trivial matter. The entire Crimson Cloud Army was in a nest, and the two of them couldn't bear the responsibility.
Li Kuan was grateful. The reason why he decided to act alone was because of Shi Rui, Li She and others. On the other hand, he followed the army. With their meager strength, it was not enough to stuff Xue Yantuo's army between his teeth. It is almost nonsense to be able to compete with others. The only thing that can succeed is to take the risk, set ambush halfway to defeat the generous setting of retreat or retreat, that is, fight guerrilla warfare.
First, they have a small number of only more than a thousand. Although they are not the top in the military, everyone has one thing in common, that is, they need a chance to prove themselves. After Li Kuan’s continuous creation of ideals for them, they are now They all listened to Li Kuan’s dispatch. The only thing lacking was that they didn’t have a high degree of cooperation, because these people came from different places and had different habits. All of these needed to be changed, especially when time was tight, and they became more anxious. (End of this chapter)
