Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 867 Provoking Discord

My thief ambition?
How big is my plan?
When he read this passage, although Ashina Sheer was trying to test Tuli Khan's attitude, the anger in his heart was really high.

You, Li Huairen, are completely unreasonable, even more unreasonable than me, the barbarian you Han people call!

Don't I suffer every time, and you take advantage?

Didn't you capture me alive last year?

Could it be that you, Li Huairen, forced me to fight back and kill my uncle and say hello?
In the end, it was me who was unkind, disloyal and unfilial, and attracted soldiers to attack me. On the contrary, it is only right for you to hate me?

Shouldn't it be that I hate you? !
It's no wonder that this ability of talking nonsense, making nonsense, and making waves without wind and waves caused chaos in Wuyuan County and disputes in the grassland.

The tent gradually became quiet, neither of them opened their mouths, only Ashina Sheer's heavy breathing sounded from time to time, and it was the last paragraph of the letter that made him fear the most.

There is only one sentence in that paragraph, if you have any doubts in your heart, today the Khan flag is divided, you should know the sincerity of the younger brother.

You must know that the two Khan flags stood at the same place yesterday... Ashina Sheer glanced over from the corner of his eye, guessing what Tuli Khan was thinking.

After a long time, Tuli Khan forced a smile and said, "It seems that Li Huairen is indeed eager to win."

"That's right, if you and I work together, even if the terrain is narrow, it will be difficult for the Tang army to win quickly." Ashina She'er said sincerely: "So Li Huairen wants to separate."

Tuli Khan nodded in agreement, "The Khan flag should stand in one place."

Ashina Sheer felt relieved, but then his face changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Maybe we can separate tomorrow..."

Tuli Khan cheered up, "Immediately send an order to gather the army?"

"Yeah." Ashina Sheer gritted his teeth, "He Li Huairen is so heroic, so naturally we have to give him this chance!"

At this moment, in the Tang army, Li Shan shook his head with a smile, "Jieli Khan is dead, Tiele's nine tribes have a separatist regime, Ashina's family is gradually declining, She'er and Shibobi are not great talents. They are of the same generation, but they are not comparable to ordinary barbarians. If there is a rift before the battle, even if the two of them create a gap and guard against each other, they will definitely not turn around and raise their swords at each other."

"A teacher who does not forget the past." Wen Yanbo agreed: "Last year in Shuozhou, Tuli Khan sat by and watched, but Jieli Khan was defeated in the end. All the ministries have the heart of disobedience."

Li Shan didn't say anything else, he just looked towards the north. Today, from dawn to now, the two armies have faced each other, only rangers shuttle back and forth, and there are small-scale battles from time to time, but neither side has made a big fight.

Looking back, Li Shan glanced at Kan Leng, the Duke of Linji County not far away. Hundreds of burly men were resting there. It was the Modao team formed by Kan Leng. In the past two days, Kan Leng was selected from the army again, and the Modao team was expanded. There are 800 people, this is a powerful force that can change the direction of the war at a critical moment.

But it also needs to be carefully and reasonably deployed on the battlefield... This is a difficult problem, and it will test Li Shan's ability to command in front of the battle.Because Mo Dao is wearing heavy armor and holds a person-high Mo Dao, he is invincible, and there is no enemy in front of the formation, but his shortcomings are also very obvious.

The mobility is too poor, and the range of activities is too small. When not fighting, Mo Dao Shou will not wear armor, because the armor is too heavy, and it will take a lot of energy to just wear it even if you are not fighting.

So Li Shan had to equip the 800-man Modao team with hundreds of pack horses and hundreds of auxiliary soldiers, specially used to carry armor, Modao and help Modao hands wear armor.

Seeing that Li Shan was paying attention to the Modao team, Hu Yan was a little curious. He had been in the customs all the time and had never seen the power of Modao. Instead, Liu Rengui whispered a few words. He had participated in the battle against Jianghuai with Ren Gui. He fought with Mo Dao Shou in the Jianghuai Army.

Qian Jiulong whispered: "Maybe we can let the right army move to the northwest and the central army move north?"

Li Shan hesitated for a moment. He knew what Qian Jiulong meant. The left army moved north and east twice yesterday, completely blocking the battlefield on the west side. To the northwest, and at the same time the Chinese army moved north, the range of activities of the Turkic cavalry was almost gone. At that time, the eight hundred Mo swordsmen were put into the battlefield at a critical moment, which may have unexpected effects.

"Wait, wait." Li Shan released the bait, but he didn't know whether the bait was swallowed by the fish, or whether the fish would get off the hook.

But one thing is for sure, in terms of the overall situation, the Turks control the main roads and hold the initiative in their hands, but limited to the immediate battle, the initiative is in the hands of Li Shan.

If the fish were to be decoupled, Li Shan could only give up playing those small tricks, and could only further block the space, forcing the Turkic to fight a bloody battle, and use hard power to force the Turkic to retreat... There is no way to do it, if you don't grasp the key points In the palm of the hand, the Turks can increase their troops at any time, and even let Liang Shi all lead troops to defend, which is intolerable for Li Shan.

"Your Highness." Duan Zhixuan, who drove his horse, jumped off his horse, shook his head, and said, "The scouts report, that is the hill from yesterday, with two sweat flags standing in one place."

This was not beyond Li Shan's expectation. Both of them had suffered losses more than once, so they wouldn't be so stupid. Even if they were afraid of each other, it would be after this battle.

The battle was very different from yesterday. Yesterday was fighting from dawn to dusk. The casualties on both sides totaled more than [-]. It can be said that blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain. Today's battle is like a spring breeze and drizzle, which is so gentle that people will fall asleep.

Before dusk, the two sides had tacitly withdrew their troops. In one day, there were hundreds of casualties on both sides. Most of them were caused by scouts and small groups of rangers. After a while, Su Dingfang immediately led the cavalry brigade to face off, and the Turks quickly gave up.

Li Shan took a few mouthfuls of a steamed bun that Zhu Wei handed over, thinking that he had taken it for granted, that God really didn't know whether some strategies would work in the place where the corpse was erected.

Qian Jiulong saw that Li Shan's face was not very good-looking, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Turks will definitely retreat."

"Yes." Li Shan sighed, "It's just that if the Turks are forced to retreat by a fierce attack, the casualties may be too heavy."

If the Turks still want to continue, Li Shan has no good solution. In addition to the Modao team that may be used, there are only elite Tang cavalry, and they are mainly heavy cavalry... and the number of these heavy cavalry is not large. Too many, the next battle will be difficult to fight.

And now that there is a full-scale war with the Turks, even if the trade route has not been cut off, it is unlikely that they will buy a large number of good horses like in previous years... In other words, these heavy cavalry are likely to die one by one, and one less. It cannot be filled in a short time.

Today, Li Shanxin specifically mentioned the phrase "It is inhumane to drive people to die", although it is mainly to get together the four nos, but it is also deliberate. Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan still want to continue, but The tribe below may not be willing.

I really hope that these two khans will take pity on their clansmen, take the initiative to withdraw their troops, and give up control of the main road.
