Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 389 Two Heroes Meeting Hezhou (2)

In the face of the generals speaking one after another, Gar Qinling did not express the slightest, just listened quietly, and did not comment at all, because he had already counted the reasons mentioned by the generals. I don't know how many times, how can I not know the harm of leading troops against the enemy, but the situation on the battlefield is such that the Tubo army can't help but make other choices. The key point is time. In a word, time is the biggest enemy of the Tubo army right now , the Tang army could afford it, but the Tubo army could not. The reason is very simple. It will be winter in more than a month. If there is not enough food, fodder and supplies from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tuyuhun will fall into a terrible famine. Among them, at that time, Tubo will not be able to recover for at least five years. Gar Qinling can't believe that Li Xian will not take advantage of Tubo's weakness. There is a certain risk in the battle between the state and the Tang army, but Gar Qinling must take this risk, otherwise, he can only wait for the failure to come!

"Are you finished?"

Gar Qinling has never been a person who waits to die, since he has determined that he must fight, he will not give up because of the opposition of the generals, but he did not blame the short-sightedness of the generals. After all the generals had expressed their opinions, they said calmly.

"Major Minister, the last general still said that, instead of going deep into the enemy's territory, it is better to storm Shanzhou and lure the enemy to come to help. We can sit back and reap the benefits of labor."

Hearing that Gar Qinling's tone was wrong, all the generals dared not open their mouths again, but General Dawang, who was the first to stand up and sing the opposite, refused to change his original intention, and still firmly insisted on his own opinion.

"General Dawang's concerns are reasonable, but what if Tang Jun doesn't come?"

Gar Qinling didn't express the worries in his heart, but asked back calmly.

"Ah, this...shouldn't be the case?"

Dawang's strategic vision can only be described as mediocre. Hearing Gar Qinling's question, he was dumbfounded on the spot. He smacked his lower lip and said perfunctorily.

"The truth is, I hope not. However, since Li Xian is stationed in Hezhou, he just wants to delay and wait for changes. He will definitely not come to Shanzhou City. If he doesn't come, he will Let's go, this battle must be fought, and if not fought, it must be fought!"

Gar Qinling straightened his back, stood up suddenly, glanced at the generals with sharp eyes, and made a decisive decision in his tone.

"The prime minister is wise!"

Gar Qinling is a god-like existence in the Tubo army. He has made up his mind. It can be said that they bowed in unison and praised endlessly.

"My lords, this battle is about the luck of my great tribe. Only those who dare to die in the battle will survive. I entrust the truth to you, lords!"

Regarding the overall situation of the battle, Gar Qinling naturally had a different arrangement, but he didn't intend to make it public. Instead, he assumed the posture of a deputy mourning soldier, bowing to the generals below in a serious manner Body, words earnestly said a word.

"I am willing to serve the great general on the battlefield, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

Gar Qinling's words had reached such a point that the generals had to show their loyalty whether they wanted to or not.

"Okay, let me wait and fight for a piece of the sky!" Gar Qinling suddenly straightened his back, and shouted resolutely: "Hertz praises!"

"The end is here!"

Hearing that Gar Qinling called his name first, Herzzan felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only bite the bullet and get out of the queue, answering loudly.

"The truth tells you to lead your troops and horses as the vanguard. When you invite Tang bandits to fight, you must win first to strengthen the prestige of our army!"

Gar Qinling glanced at Hezzan with a gloomy expression, took out a command arrow from the lottery holder on the document, weighed it a few times in his hand, and ordered in a calm voice.

"promise!"

The matter has come to this point, Herzzan knew it was inevitable, but there was nothing he could do, he could only make a resolute and loud promise, took the command arrow with both hands, bowed and saluted, and then strode back to the side .

"Dawang!"

"The end is here!"

"The truth tells you to lead your troops and horses to respond, there must be no mistake!"

"promise!"

Gar Qinling issued a series of orders quickly, arranging for all the armies to march out one after another, leaving only his younger brother Gar Zanpo to lead an army of 16 troops to station under the city of Shanzhou to monitor the movements of the defenders in the city, but he himself led all the troops. The main force with a total of [-] troops bypassed Shanzhou and went straight to the city of Yanhan... "His Royal Highness, the Tubo vanguard has arrived at Wanmayuan!"

In the big camp under the city of Fanghan, Li Xianzheng was squatting in front of a giant sand table in the big tent of the Chinese army, and deduced the overall battle situation in Hexi with a group of trusted generals. A reporter rushed in and reported the latest enemy situation come out.

"Ok!"

Li Xian didn't look up, but just waved his hand indifferently, signaling the reporting horse to back down.

"Your Highness, the Tubo thieves stop and go for a lot of fun, and they haven't arrived after three days of walking in one day. With such a good interest, could it be that they are here to play?"

Li Xian didn't care about the enemy's situation, but Li He couldn't help it. He stood up from the sand table, clapped his hands, approached Li Xian with a smile, and asked a question tentatively.

"What do you say?"

Li Xian knew at a glance that Li He was itching to play the vanguard again, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he glanced at him expressionlessly, and asked indifferently.

"Hey, Your Highness, you know that my cavalry has always been in the vanguard, and I will leave this front to me. I will guarantee the victory. If you don't believe me, I can issue a military order!"

Li He was very pissed, just looking at Li Xian's expression, he knew that Li Xian had seen through his own thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously, he just smiled, and simply made the point clear.

"Okay, this is what you said yourself. You are sure. Tomorrow the vanguard of the thieves will arrive, so I will lead my troops to fight. The guy around Herzzan is also an old acquaintance of yours. It is always a good time to entertain him warmly." If you want, I plan to invite him to come to the camp as a guest, it depends on whether you have the ability." Li Xian did not refute Li He's face, but gave the order with a smile, and he heard Li He's words He grinned all the way to his ears.

"No, the final general will live up to His Highness's trust, and will take that old boy's dog's head as a kick!"

Li He had absolute confidence in the group of elite cavalry under his command. Hearing what Li Xian said, he immediately rubbed his hands in excitement.

"Your Highness, the bandit army is powerful. Although General Li He is brave, his strength is slightly insufficient. If there is a mistake, won't it dampen the morale of our army?"

In front of Li He, the generals were not easy to speak clearly, and when one of them left, Gao Yan stepped forward first, speaking cautiously.

"Your Highness, what General Gao said is very true. Although General Li defeated his opponent once before, it was an unexpected attack. If we really fight face to face, we may not be safe. Please think again, Your Highness."

Qibi Heli is a veteran in the army, and he was born as a cavalry general. He has a unique view on the strength of the cavalry. He is well-equipped and well-equipped, but he obviously lacks actual combat experience, especially his ability in frontal battles has yet to be tested, but because Li Xianji thinks highly of Li He, he doesn't want to say more, but the first battle is related to Li He. Regarding the morale of the whole army, he didn't dare to hold back any more, so he agreed with him.

"It doesn't matter, young people, after all, you have to experience some experience. It's just a skirmish. It doesn't affect the overall situation. Guess Dinger Qinling will not be in a hurry to fight this time, but he wants to use his power to oppress Guda. It’s all about gathering all the troops in Hexi, but the real goal is Lanzhou, and this will not change!”

Li Xian can understand the worries of the two veterans, but he doesn't take it seriously. In Li Xian's view, elite soldiers are made by fighting, not by training. What Li He's troops lack most now is actual combat experience. Given this opportunity, it would be unreasonable not to take the opportunity to train troops. As for the victory or defeat, although Li Xian cared about it, he was not too worried about the consequences, because Li Xian knew very well that before the battle in Lanzhou, Garr Qinling will definitely not launch a final battle. Even if Li He is unfavorable in the first battle, there will definitely be enough time for morale to adjust.

"Your Highness is wise!"

The two veteran generals were shrewd people, seeing that Li Xian had made up his mind, even though they still had doubts in their hearts, they never mentioned it again, they just bowed their heads and praised each other endlessly.

"Two old generals, the thieves will arrive tomorrow, and our army's various departments will assemble themselves. There are quite a few unfamiliar places in the coordination, so I worry that the two old generals have bothered a lot, and go out alone to breathe."

Li Xian is a shrewd person, just by looking at the expressions on the faces of the two veterans, he knew that the two of them were just oral dissatisfaction, but he didn't bother to explain further, so he smiled and gave orders, and then, Regardless of how the two veterans agreed, they raised their feet and walked out to the big tent.

The burden on his shoulders is undoubtedly extremely heavy. Rao Li Xian is born with tenacity. Facing the situation of such a large enemy, he can't relax. You must know that there are as many as 16 Tubo troops who have been killed. The total number of Tang troops who got up was less than 5, and nearly half of them were local garrison troops with average training. The uneven quality of each army was enough to cause Li Xian a headache, not to mention that the troops in each state were unfamiliar with each other. Even though Li Xian has stepped up the training of the generals in the past few days, it is still far from being a tacit cooperation. Under such a situation, if he really confronts the Tubo army head-on, it will be a dead end. Fortunately, The Tang army defended the city, and they really couldn't beat it, and they could rely on the advantage of the city wall to hold on to the camp. But for that matter, the initiative in the war that was so hard won might have to change hands again, Li Xian is self-righteous He didn't want to see this situation happen, and this was one of the reasons why Li Xian agreed to Li He's fight, that is, he hoped that Li He's troops could win a beautiful battle while training, so that the Tubo army, which had already been The low morale has completely hit the bottom, the wish is undoubtedly good, but what will the reality be?Li Xian himself didn't dare to make an assertion. After all, everything will be known after the fight.
