Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 521 Battle of Funiuchuan (6)

Li He was born with a bit of arrogance, and in addition to being in a high position, in order to prevent taboos, he simply showed his extreme arrogance to others. Over time, some people really couldn't tolerate others, even Tuoba. Li He didn't pay much attention to Shanye, Li Xian's trusted deputy. He usually didn't give Tuoba Shanye any embarrassment due to the affection of his colleagues. But at this moment of crisis, Li He But He was unwilling to be influenced by Tuoba Shanye in every possible way. It would be good if he didn't turn his face on the spot, so how could he give him a good look.

"General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If the thief is so worried, his target may not be only part of our Hehuang army. Please investigate it carefully." Although Li He was quite displeased, Tuoba Yamano still had no choice but to speak.

"Ok?"

Li He can be valued by Li Xian, so he is naturally not a brave and foolhardy person. Hearing what Tuoba Shanye said, he was immediately shocked. Talking too much, he just let out a soft groan, waved his hand, and moved Tuoba Shanye aside.

"General Mingjian, I think the Tubo thieves have a big plan for setting up an ambush this time. The enemy who shows up today is probably only one out of ten enemies. The rest are probably surrounded by our army. The reason why they didn't rush forward immediately is probably for fishing. Your Highness led a large army to rush to help, this is a strategy to encircle and fight for help, if we don't make a plan early, not only our troops, but also the reinforcements may be in danger."

Tuoba Shanye was clearly in an extremely anxious mood, just now when he walked to a place where there was no one there, before Li He could ask any questions, he hastily expressed his predictions about the battle situation in his heart one by one.

“How come you see?”

Li He actually agreed with Tuoba Shanye's analysis in his heart, but for the sake of prudence, he didn't show it, but said calmly.

"General, if the thief intends to be in our army, he will not let our army go and rob his camp. He should pursue him relentlessly. Otherwise, he should burn down the camp, so why stay behind?" The military resources are in our department, this must be a plan to lure me into the depths, if the general's prediction is not bad, our department will go all the way to the west without hindrance, but if we want to turn around, we will be surrounded by the enemy's army. Please ask the general to check the relationship."

This speech has been said so clearly, but Li Hewu didn't make a decision, Tuoba Shanye couldn't help getting angry, but he didn't dare to explode, he could only force himself to suppress the irritability in his heart, and his tone Sincerely analyzed.

"Ah."

Li He still didn't say anything, after a soft groan, he bent down, picked up a small sharp stone, and drew it on the open space. prototype.

"Funiuchuan?"

After Li He finished drawing the topographic map, he still didn't straighten up, took a stone and drew a westward route on the map, stretching all the way, and soon pointed to the dangerous place, his expression froze slightly, and his words couldn't help but Then blurted out.

"General, this place is the barrier of Fuqi City. Although it is not very dangerous, it is the place where Qinling Laozi has been running for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army can attack and overcome it, it can be done." Take advantage of the emptiness to enter and occupy Fucheng City. However, since the thieves have such a plan, there must be heavy soldiers here. Once our troops are trapped in the middle of Sichuan, they will become turtles in a urn. If Your Highness does not save us, the enemy will wipe out our troops. Then you will surely hit the enemy, and you must not be careless."

Tuoba Shanye dared to speak to Li He, so he had considered it thoroughly. He was already familiar with the topography of Funiuchuan, so when he analyzed it now, he was logical.

"General Tuoba's words are reasonable, and I think it should be so. Now that the thief has set up an ambush like this, how should we break it?"

Tuoba Shanye's analysis was extremely accurate, and Li He had already considered it, so he naturally would not have any objections, so he nodded and expressed his attitude, but he did not make a decision, but threw the problem to the Tuoba mountains.

"General, since the thieves have such a plan, then our department will not be attacked until it reaches Funiuchuan. This is a weakness that our department can use. It seems that we can falsely attack Niuchuan, but we are actually looking for an opportunity to jump out of the encirclement. If so, or You can escape the catastrophe."

Li He's question was not so easy to answer, even though Tuoba Shanye already had a certain idea in his heart, but when answering, he still didn't dare to speak too harshly, and just answered in a questioning tone.

"Hmm..." Li He pondered for a moment, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to make a decision, but he didn't say it in the end, he just shook his head vigorously and said: "Don't worry, I know what to do later. It won’t be too late to make a decision after interrogating the prisoners.”

"promise!"

What should be said to the left and right has already been said, Tuoba Shanye was worried, but there was nothing he could do, he had no choice but to bow to the promise, and silently retreated to the side, although his face was calm, but there was something in his eyes. It is full of unconcealable worry... The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the sky is already a little bit chilly. Although it is not yet the season to wear furs, but wearing a single clothes is a bit cold, but bending over Li Xian, who was standing in front of the large sand table, was steaming all over his body, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes seemed to be on fire. Needless to say, they all came out of a hurry, which is not surprising, Li Xian's Heart and soul——The Hehuang army has lost contact with the rear for two days, and now life and death are still uncertain, how can Li Xian be in a hurry.

Anxiety is a natural thing, Li Xian wished to lead his troops into Tuyuhun immediately, but unfortunately he could not, not only because the preparations for the war had not yet stopped, but also because there was no imperial edict, Li Xian could not launch a large-scale attack at all. The war action, and these two things are not things that can be settled in a short while, no matter how anxious Li Xian is, he can only wait patiently for the news from the front, but two days have passed , but have not been able to get the truth yet, I can't help feeling a little anxious in my heart. If Li He's troops are completely ruined, Li Xian's plan to build an army is bound to suffer a heavy blow. What is waiting for Li Xian will definitely not be a good result. Although it is not as serious as life-threatening, being transferred away from Hexi is likely to happen, and this is obviously a serious injury that Li Xian cannot accept.

"Your Highness, there is news from the Hehuang army!"

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhang Mingwu, the new Dianjun of the royal family, who was sweating profusely, rushed into the study, not even caring to catch his breath, and yelled hastily.

"Oh?"

As soon as Li Xian heard this, he stood up suddenly, copied with his hand, snatched the small brass pipe held by Zhang Mingwu, quickly unscrewed the hidden buckle on it, and poured out the scroll full of writing. The secret letter written in Chinese, leaned to the bright place in front of the window, took a closer look, and frowned involuntarily, but didn't say much, and in a blink of an eye, the person had returned to the sand table, bent over the sand table After making gestures, after a long time, he let out a clear boo, obviously he had gained something.

"Your Highness, are the Hehuang Army all right?"

When Li Xian was thinking about it earlier, Zhang Mingwu was impatient, but he didn't dare to ask. Seeing that Li Xian was slightly relaxed, he couldn't hold back immediately, and hurriedly asked.

"It's not very good, it's Gu's carelessness, hey, I didn't expect that old thief Gar Qinling to be so cruel, this is going to play all-or-nothing with Gu!"

Li Xian shook his head with a slightly shy expression, and didn't give much explanation, just sighed, and rubbed the secret letter casually, turning it into crumbs scattered all over the floor.

"Ah, then..."

The relationship between Zhang Mingwu and Li He is only average, but he and Tuoba Shanye are close friends. Hearing that the Hehuang Army's situation is not good, he couldn't help being shocked. The sweat that had just subsided from the anxiety on his forehead gushed out again.

"Go and invite Mr. Zhang to come to discuss the matter. In addition, pass on the order of the solitary, and the chief officers of each army must rush to Lanzhou to discuss the matter in the next day. Anyone who violates the order will be punished for delaying the military aircraft. Go!"

Li Xian didn't intend to make a public announcement of the important military affairs before they were finalized. Even if he was facing a confidant like Zhang Mingwu, he didn't intend to inform him in advance. He just issued several orders with a solemn expression.

"promise!"

Upon hearing Li Xian's order, Zhang Mingwu dared not be negligent, and hastily responded, and hurried out of the study, not mentioning the arrangements for the relevant matters.

"Your Highness, how is the situation of the Hehuang army?"

Zhang Jianzhi came very quickly, and not long after Zhang Mingwu left, Zhang Jianzhi had rushed to the study room, and before he was seated, he had already opened his mouth.

"It's not too good. The old Qinling thief dug a hole to catch an orphan. Fortunately, Li He was still awake and didn't fall into it. It's just that this battle may have to be brought forward. Mister, there is a way to pass the court meeting." Policy or not?"

Li Xian waved his hand, signaled Zhang Jianzhi to sit down by himself, and replied solemnly.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Zhang Jianzhi lifted the hem of his robe and sat opposite Li Xian, but he did not answer Li Xian's question, but asked inquiringly.

"The thing is like this... Now, if this battle is not fought, it must be fought. I am only worried that the court will be sad. How should I deal with the other party in this matter?"

Li Xian briefly described the battle situation on Li He's side and the countermeasures he made, but he did not explain the strategic arrangement, but changed the topic to the court situation.

"So that's the case. The matter is indeed a bit tricky. You have to be prepared. According to the old man's opinion, the matter of the court should be... If so, maybe it can be done."

Zhang Jianzhi pondered for a moment, and felt that he was not too sure about the court's big discussion. Although he gave a solution to the problem, the confidence in his tone was obviously not too high.

"Forget it, let's try it first, and I will make arrangements for it!"

Li Xian pondered over it carefully, but he couldn't come up with a better solution, but at this moment, it was at the critical moment, so he could only give it a try before deciding on the rest. Do your best to obey the destiny.
