In the west building, Yelu Abaoji, who lived high in the air, burned the military report in his hand, watching the ocean-like army marching solemnly.
"It was expected that the party members would not be able to resist the Tang army's attack, but Shangguan Qingcheng moved so fast and defeated Li Sijian in one battle, which was beyond my imagination."
Following the footsteps of the army, Yelu Abaoji walked slowly in mid-air, and said to the great shaman envoy beside him. Looking at his expression, he was quite disappointed and apprehensive.
"Shangguan Qingcheng has achieved the realm of a famous military strategist, so it is natural that ordinary people cannot resist. The party member was the bait you fed her, and now it is gone, so there is no pity." The great shaman envoy Qi Wotai responded lightly.
Yelu Abaoji looked at the southern sky and sighed: "In my original plan, even if the 500,000 party members were suddenly attacked and responded hastily, there must be some results. I don't want to be able to threaten Shangguan Qingcheng and kill her How many episodes, at least the Spike Army must be exhausted."
Qiewo Tai glanced at Yelu Abaoji, but said nothing.
As a shaman, he is not very proficient in military affairs, so he doesn't know how to respond to this. The duty of the shaman envoy is to fight against the great monks of the Tang Dynasty, not to consider those matters on the battlefield.
Fortunately, behind them, there are several real generals in the Khitan army.
Yeludi Lugu, a general of the Sijin Department, took the words and said arrogantly: "Attacking the Tang Dynasty from all over the world is our strategy to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, but each department has different strengths, uses are naturally different, and the expectations that can be placed are also different. Tang Jun Among the generals, Li Maozhen no longer led the army, and Wang Jian went to the southern front.
"The only ones we can see are Shangguan Qingcheng, the leader of the Spike Army, and Zhao Bingkun, the leader of the Bingjiamen. The rest, such as Liu Dazheng, Zhao Polu, Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi, Zhao Nianci, etc., although they also have some skills , is not yet our opponent.
"Although Zhao Bingkun is the head of the military family, he has not yet reached the realm of a famous general. In the final analysis, he is more bookish, and his identity as the head of the family is more important than his status as a general. Therefore, the only thing that can stop us is Shangguan Qingcheng. As long as we can kill Shangguan Qingcheng Before the battle, no matter how high the price is, it is worth paying, let alone foreigners like Dangxiang and Shatuo."
Yelu Abaoji glanced at Yeludi Lugu, and was not at all surprised that he could fully understand his military intentions.
Although the generals of the war strategy all know it, but there are only a handful of people who can understand the root of it.
The Khitan people are used to being brave and brave, so they are inevitably lacking in resourcefulness, the general of the Sijin Department, Yeludi Lugu, is an exception.
The Khitan conquered the grasslands with many soldiers and elites. Among them, the most powerful and the most valued by Yelu Abaoji were his two direct descendants: the Heart Department and the Si Jin Department.
Of these two departments, the Central Department is responsible for the guards of the Wangzhang (royal palace), and the Sijin Department is responsible for the defense of the West Tower. Guard the left and right when hunting, and be the vanguard and core when fighting.
Yelu Xienechi, the general of the heart department, has been sent by Yelu Abaoji, and Yelu Dilugu, the general of the close department, is now the number one Khitan think tank beside Yelu Abaoji.
"Although the party members are unbearable, they are not weak compared with us and the Tang Dynasty, and compared with the Uighurs."
Yili Jin Yelv Dilie of the Northern Court frowned and said, hearing Yeludi Lugu's remarks, he had his own doubts, "The party's 500,000 soldiers and horses are not chickens and dogs. Although Sha Tuo is weaker, he can still fight Twenty or thirty soldiers came out.
"If these two parts are a little bit more prepared and face the enemy head-on, even if Shangguan Qingcheng is a famous general, it will take time to attack the city. If she can delay her pace, it will be of great benefit to the battle situation."
Yeludi Lugu sneered, "It won't be beneficial, it will only cause great harm."
Yelu Dilie frowned.
Nanyuan Yili Jin Yelu wanted to hide, and asked Yelu's enemy Lugu strangely: "If the heart and soul cooperate with Dangxiang and Shatuo to tie Shangguan Qingcheng to Monan, when we attack Youyan and other places, we will not face him. She, as long as we don't face Shangguan Qingcheng, no one can stop us, wouldn't this be a great battle situation?"
Xiao Hendu, Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion, also nodded his head when he heard this: "That's exactly the reason."
Yeludi Lugu looked at these people like a fool, "I just said that Shangguan Qingcheng must die!
"For you, it is very difficult to defeat an enemy that is three times your own, and you can't even hold on to an enemy that is ten times your own. But Shangguan Qingcheng is not like this. It is a fool's dream for you to trap her. Look at the party members, half a million troops were defeated by her 70,000 fine cavalry, doesn't that explain the problem?"
Yelu Dilie said indignantly: "She is just opportunistic!"
When Yeludi Lugu heard this, he lost interest in even looking at him, "If you can 'opportunistic' like her, you are also a famous soldier."
Yelu Yuyin and Xiao Hendu looked thoughtful.
Yeludi Lugu was quite satisfied with the reaction of the two of them, so he continued: "Shangguan Qingcheng only has 70,000 elite cavalry, and he can already maneuver and capture the commander among enemies dozens of times larger. Dajun, is that okay
"Let the heart and heart cooperate with Dangxiang and Shatuo, which may be able to delay her offensive pace, but once the Tang army comes to help, Dangxiang and Shatuo will undoubtedly lose. It is not a pity for them to die. If the heart is lost, it will be too fatal. Since Dangxiang and Shatuo are destined to perish, it is better to let them perish to be valuable.
"So our strategy is to take advantage of the time when Shangguan Qingcheng has few soldiers and horses, and give them shocking results, so that they can continue to move forward proudly. If you want to take it, you must give it first. The party members are what we give to the Spike Army bait, and once they enter the territory of the Shatuo people, the terrain there is very suitable for us to siege.
"Those who seek profit from a hundred miles away will go to the general, and when the Spike Army is exhausted and fall into the trap we set up in advance, even if Shangguan Qingcheng is a famous general, he has no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, and he will only have to drink his hatred on the spot!
"As long as Shangguan Qingcheng can be solved, the morale of the Tang army will be greatly reduced, and the morale of our soldiers will be high. Under the circumstances, it will be easy to defeat the frontier army of the Tang Dynasty and break through their defense!"
Hearing this, Yelu Dilie was convinced no matter how angry he was.
Everyone saluted Yelu Abaoji, expressing their admiration for his wisdom.
Yelu Abaoji smiled faintly, "What is this? More exciting things are yet to come."
Yelu Dilie opened his mouth and said in surprise, "Your Majesty still wants to come back?"
Yelu Abaoji looked into the distance, and said inscrutably, "A chain of tricks is the superior state of ingenuity. After Shangguan Qingcheng and the Spike Army are gone, if Li Maozhen is gone, Li Ye will definitely be heartbroken and come to revenge—even if he If there is no revenge, for the morale of the army, we will personally dispatch to fight for a victory, and that is our chance.
"If Li Maozhen escapes by chance, he will also be heartbroken. If he wants to get back the scene, a comeback is predictable, and we can take advantage of this at that time." Therefore, the destruction of Shangguan Qingcheng and the Spike Army can at least make Li Maozhen fall too. And severely damaged the combat power of the Tang Dynasty; if the situation is better, and Li Ye can also suffer a dull loss, then the loss of combat power of the Tang Dynasty is not a problem, and the entire battle situation will collapse because of it! "
After understanding Yelu Abaoji's intentions, everyone including Yelu Dilugu was amazed.
Yelu Abaoji waved his hand, indicating that these Khitan dignitaries do not need to worship him, all this is just a trivial matter to him, and he said indifferently: "If the magic weapon is used well, it will be of great benefit, but if it is broken, it will cause countless troubles. waves.
"Shangguan Qingcheng? Famous general? I will tell Li Ye that there is more than one meaning of double-edged sword, and there is more than one kind of fear of double-edged sword."
...
Shangguan Qingcheng did not stop in Xiazhou.
She only let the Spike Army rest for a day and a half, left the wounded in the city, and led the army eastward to the Shatuo settlement.
Li Maozhen naturally had no objection to this.
She didn't make any moves the night before, and the Spike Army was the one who charged to attack the Dangxiang army stronghold.
After the capture of Xiazhou, the problem of the Dingnan Army has not been completely resolved. Yin, Sui, You, Jing and other states still have Dangxiang garrisons. However, this is no longer the category that Shangguan Qingcheng needs to care about.
The heads of Li Sijian and Li Yichang have been carried by the monks to the various states, and the party members in these places have no reason not to put down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, with their state of disunity, it won't take long for anyone to survive alone.

The follow-up actions to subdue and appease the local area will naturally be done by relevant personnel. Shangguan Qingcheng only needs to lead the Spike Army to raid the headquarters of Shatuo, and pacify Monan as quickly as possible.
It was another day when the red sun was rising, and Shangguan Qingcheng, who was leading the army running along the wasteland, raised his head in the boundless rays of light.
Seeing the spring day at the end of the east, although she couldn't see any expression on her fair face, there was a sincere smile in her eyes like a pool.
Although the two ministries of Dangxiang and Shatuo are not strong, their geographic location is extremely critical. Only by getting rid of them, can Monan be free from worries, Guanzhong can not be threatened by soldiers, and the Tang army can fight in all directions without any worries.
If not, the alien army would go south from the borders of Dangxiang and Shatuo, and there would not be many dangerous passes in the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and it would be a smooth road to Chang'an.
At the beginning of Zhenguan, the Turkic army approached the city of Chang'an in this way, forcing Taizong to leave the city with only six riders, and signed a humiliating covenant with him by killing the white horse at Baqiao.
The first battle must be to win Dangxiang and Shatuo. For Li Ye, there is no room for choice.
There is no room for loss in this battle, and the Thunder must win. Only in this way can Datang open up the situation and win the opportunity to deploy troops in the crisis of attacking Tang from all over the world.
Therefore, letting Shangguan Qingcheng lead the Spike Army to fight is Li Ye's best and only choice.
Putting the most critical burden of the entire war on the shoulders of Shangguan Qingcheng, this is Li Ye's trust in her.
"Shatuo people are already prepared."
Li Maozhen flew back from mid-air, and walked slowly beside Shangguan Qingcheng, "It seems that the news of the collapse of the party has reached them. Their women and children began to move to the grassland, and the young and strong cavalry formed formations at Luoyankou, occupying both sides The favorable terrain of the gentle slope is even more fortified at the entrance of the avenue."
