Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1002; No one dares to act rashly

Chapter 950 Six; The situation is complicated, no one dares to act rashly

Shuofang City, the Marshal's Mansion!
early morning.

Li Shiji sits in the middle and takes the first place, doing daily points...

There are many generals on both sides.

"What happened yesterday? Are there any new developments around the border towns?"

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, there is no movement, just like before."

"Go back to the chief manager, there is no movement."

"If you return to Pushe, all the border towns are quiet, the people outside are also very peaceful, and Yi Nan is also very calm. I think he is..."

"Report..."

Before the generals below had finished speaking, a military report came from outside, and a team was running quickly.

"Report to Commander, General Li Yu of Zuo Wuwei, Zuo Ye sent a group of scouts, three teams, each consisting of seven people, to go deep into the grassland, without knowing the purpose."

"Oh, I see."

"What happened to those barbarians on the grassland? Do you know whether the three teams of scouts are dead or alive?"

"Marshal Qi, all of them were beheaded. 21 corpses were dragged by Yi Nan's hands and thrown seven or eight miles outside our city. Those barbarians are showing off their power outside the city and trampling their brothers with horseshoes. their corpses."

"Understood, let's explore again."

"only!"

"Wait!"

"only!"

"Send more people to keep an eye on Li Yu's side, but if there is any trouble, report it immediately."

"Order!"

After dismissing the visitor, Li Shiji changed his posture and sat down again;
"Where is the orderly?"

"He's here! Commander, please give me an order!"

"Send an order to the guard at the north city gate, no matter how arrogant and domineering the prairie people are, how much they trample on the body of our soldier Erlang, he is not allowed to open the city gate, let alone send troops to meet the enemy, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

"Order!"

"Repeat, send out troops at three o'clock at Yin time tonight, with one thousand archers and two thousand infantry, and bring back the brothers outside. One son's body is missing, so come and see me!"

"Order!"

"Big guy!"

"Say!"

"Wei! Could it be that Yi Nan did it on purpose? Take some corpses for fishing?"

"Hmph! Even if he has this idea, I will tell him that it will not work."

"Five thousand troops with you, go out to harass the city twenty miles from the left, remember not to let those people live in peace during the day today."

"Order!"

The general who received the military order yelled and turned his head to leave the lobby of the commander's mansion.

"Li Youliang."

"The end is here!"

"Take your troops and go out twenty miles from the right, look for the opportunity, and fight fiercely. If there is no opportunity, mainly harass."

"Order!"

"Marshal, the Chinese army is not moving?"

"Don't move for now, there are at most ten thousand people outside, there won't be any more, Yi Nan is a wise guy, there is no gap, he won't act easily, this scene is nothing more than mutual testing between the two sides. "

"Since it's a tentative attack, we can't act in violation of the regulations, otherwise we will lose the battle first, and the opponent's army will stand still, and our son Lang can't mess around."

"Both sides have dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops. Such a large-scale war is not a child's play. No one will easily mess up. Both sides are waiting for an opportunity. Without variables, they cannot act."

"The commander-in-chief is right."

"What Pu She said is that it is impossible to put out tens of thousands of horses, and then soldiers will fight against soldiers, generals and generals, and fight headlessly."

"You are handsome and wise."

"Continue to pass the order that the guards of the border towns are not allowed to take any action. Then pass the order to the other two general managers to assist the commander in action. They will communicate with each other once every three days. The Hongling messengers who come and go cannot be interrupted."

"Order!"

Li Shiji said that he communicated once every three days, and he had to send horse scouts almost every day, because the farthest distance on the frontier happened to be reached in three days.

Li Shicheng's decision in this way means that these cities on the frontier have to send messengers to pass news back and forth every day!
Generally speaking, Li Shiji's work is still based on seeking victory while maintaining stability. There is a big difference between his approach and Li Jing's. This time he is more careful because he is very aware of the consequences. This time is a critical moment for his rise.

Whether they can gain a firm foothold in the three provinces depends on the outcome of this battle!
Defeating Yi Nan's army is of course the best ending, but Li Shiji also has his own ideas.

In such a large-scale war, if one mistake is not right, one's reputation may be ruined. If one's reputation is ruined, one may be able to ignore it, but if one's head is gone, one will never have a chance to turn around, let alone the head of the whole family, so he doesn't care about it. Seeking meritorious service, but seeking no faults.

Therefore, as long as An An calmly invites Yi Nan's 30 troops back, it will be considered a victory.

Although Li Shiji was not in a hurry to win, he was also a commander in chief after all, and his years of experience in leading troops could not be boasted.

One pile after another, the arrangements were neither urgent nor slow, and they were taken casually, and he sat firmly in the Chinese army's tent without moving for a moment. With 20 horses, I want to know clearly and clearly the coming and going of each centurion!

Li Shiji is careful here, while Xue Wanche, the general of the right guard and the governor of Daizhou, and Ashina Sheer, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, mobilize Sheng, Xia, Yin, Sui, Dan, Yan, Qiao, Fang, Shi and Xi The soldiers and horses of the 10 states were guarded in Shengzhou (governing Yulin, now Twelve City on the south bank of the Yellow River in the northeast of Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia).

The two also guarded the city with peace of mind, not daring to act rashly, and paid close attention to the movements of the friendly troops in the border city every day.

This morning, the two were discussing the war in the general's mansion again. There was a map on the case table. Ashinasher frowned, and Xue Wanche, who was next to him, knew exactly where his colleagues were worrying, so he kindly persuaded him!

"Brother, don't worry any longer, Brother Ling is not an ordinary person, he will take care of everything."

"Ugh……"

The sad-faced Ashinasheer sat down in the grand master's chair helplessly;

"The governor doesn't know something. Although my elder brother is not confused, but after all, his ability is limited, and the affairs in the tribe can still be handled, but... it is a bit difficult to deal with these big things!"

"What's more, the damn Tubo lord has arranged for a large army to suppress the border. I'm afraid my brother can't even eat mutton right now. I know him best. He doesn't have the ability to resist Tubo's attack. Alas..."

Xue Wanche nodded in agreement, sat next to Ashinasheer, and patiently persuaded him;

"It's really noisy, you wouldn't be able to eat anyone else, but...you don't have to be too nervous if you want me to say, you don't have to be too nervous. Tubo's abandonment is not a fool, he can unify the people of Daxueshan , how can I ask Yi Nan to scold me?"

Ashina Sheeryan's eyes lit up when Xue Wanche said these words;
"That's right! What the governor said is exactly the truth!"

"Hahahaha, that's why I said, brother, you are in the middle of the game without knowing it."

"The Tubo king is not a fool, how could he really persecute his own children to death because of Yi Nan's few words?"

"It's nothing more than getting tens of thousands of people to go to your side to pretend, let alone we are waiting, the Yi Yenan over there is waiting. A confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops is no joke, and no one will act rashly."

"And the Tubo people are also waiting. If Yi Nan captures a city and opens a passage to the Central Plains, Qi Zongnong will of course go all out."

"On the contrary, he will never easily fight to the death with your tribe, so the real key lies in the confrontation between Yi Nan and Li Tang's court, defeating Yi Nan's soldiers, your tribe will naturally resolve the crisis. "

"That's right, what the governor said is right. I'm also concerned about it, but it's messed up. After careful analysis, it's true. Tubo is also a big tribe that should not be underestimated. Qizongnong is a man of great talent and boldness. How can he be exiled so easily?" Male use?"

"My virtuous brother finally got through the knot in my heart, now I feel at ease, you and I will sit together, if you are always absent-minded, Brother Yu will be hard-pressed to do it alone!"

"The governor is too modest. Who doesn't know the ability of the governor, who is not inferior to San Li? Without a younger brother, the governor can sit in one side and be as immovable as a mountain."

Facing Ashinasheer's official article, Xue Wanche shook his head seriously;
"Don't dare to take it too seriously, especially this military incident, let alone take it lightly. With you and my brothers guarding here and working together, we can succeed."

Ashina Sheer said the three Li are, Li Jing, Li Shiji, Li Daozong these three handsome talents.

"Don't worry, the governor, the little brother will do his best, and the elder brother should be the main one."

Ashina Sheer is not a fool, even though he has unlimited support from his sworn brother Li Yu, he can't bother his brother with all the big things, right?So he also has to build a good relationship with people from all walks of life.

Besides, the ability of the person in front of him is indeed outstanding, there is no harm in seeing more and learning more.

Xue Wanche cupped his hands gratefully;
"Thank you Brother Yu for your support."

"Brother, don't do this!"

Ashinasheer and Xue Wanche, one is a rising upstart with an unstable foundation, and the other is an old subordinate of the former prince, one of the leaders of the old forces, who can't be defeated by eight poles. In principle, the old and new forces The collision of each other should be on guard against each other, vigilant against each other, two hearts are reasonable.

But something happened that Li Shimin never expected. He brought together two generals who were not from the same faction, and even somewhat hostile, to check and balance each other. The guy who wants to start a sect.

If Li Shimin knew that these two people followed the routine on the surface, but cherished each other secretly, he would definitely vomit blood, at least he would not be able to eat for several meals!
The two are cherishing each other and further establishing an alliance relationship. There is a military report from outside the White Tiger Hall.

"Report..."

"Report to the governor, report to the general, there is something wrong with Zuo Wuwei."

"Huh? Take your time."

"What happened to brother?"

"Yes, to report to the two generals, Zuo Wuwei sent three dead soldiers from the seven-member team the day before yesterday to contact the tribe of General Ashina, but they were all beheaded by Yi Nan's tribe."

Xue Wanche listened intently without changing his face, Ashinasheer was shocked and tried to suppress his emotions.

"My brother has a heart. My brother has nothing to say to me. With him, my life is worth it."

"What's going on in Shuozhou?"

"There is also Yi Nan, he is determined to make a fuss about this, and the size is also a variable."

"Returning to the governor, Yi Nan sent a team of 20 people to provoke outside the border city of Shuozhou, and asked those beasts to ride horses and trample on the corpses of more than [-] dead soldiers of our army..."

The hearts of the Han people are connected. No one cares about the previous identities of the death row prisoners. Everyone knows that the court has pardoned their crimes. Those people were included in the military register.

So those dead soldiers are soldiers, brothers and brothers of all Han defenders!
So when the messenger said this, he gritted his teeth and hated it to the extreme!I can't wait to tear those beasts that trampled on my brother's corpse to pieces!
In the hearts of the Han people, death is the most important thing, and it is safe to be buried in the soil. No matter who it is, death is the greatest, let alone brothers who died in battle?

It's fine if you can't burrow into the ground, but you still have to be trampled on the corpse by the horses. This... is really unforgivable!
"Humph!"

Xue Wanche snorted coldly.

"I knew that the prairie people only had this ability, and they even said they were heroes, bah!"

"Damn it, what are you talking about about a prairie eagle when you make a fuss about a dead person? It's nothing like bullshit! It's a beast!"

Who is Xue Wanche?That temper is quite bloody, and he really loves soldiers like a son, otherwise Li Shimin would not value him, and he was immediately filled with anger when he heard that the soldiers died and would be humiliated!
Seeing that Xue Wanche was angry, Ashinasheer got up and tried to persuade him;
"The chief governor paused the anger of the thunder. Yi Nan's actions were nothing more than trying to arouse the anger of our army. The chief governor must not be fooled."

"Snapped!"

"Humph!"

Xue Wanche took a deep breath and sat down, then slapped the armrest of the Taishi chair again.

"What about Shuozhou? How does the commander react?"

"Returning to the governor, Marshal Li sent 8000 people to harass them during the day and retrieve the bodies of 21 brothers at night."

"It's okay, he has a heart. I, Xue, have always looked down on his cold-blooded and ruthless before. This time, I admire him from the bottom of my heart."

Ashinasheer calmed down Xue Wanche's anger, then turned around and asked;

"The two armies are facing each other, can there be variables? Who will win and who will lose?"

"If you go back to the general, there will be no winner or loser, and everyone will have casualties."

"Everyone was killed or injured? What's going on? We have fine iron armor equipped by the Ministry of War, and our bows and arrows are much stronger than before. What's going on? We didn't win?"

"Back to General, Yi Nan's people also wear armor. Although it is very rough, they are covered with the usual leather armor, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protection and a shield, so they are not afraid of bows and arrows. Even the horses are covered with important parts."

Ashinasheer looked at the door thoughtfully;

"I didn't expect this barbarian to be so scheming and prepared. Those armors and shields were probably prepared a few years in advance."

Xue Wanche breathed a sigh of relief and became quiet;
"If this trial is a tie, Yi Nan will win. After all, the armored bows and arrows of the imperial court are the seductive messengers of the underworld to them. A tie is actually a victory for them."

With Ashinasheer's pride, he had to nod to admit the fact;

"Yeah, what the governor said is right..."
