The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 667

Where does Yong Ye leave people?Absolutely no sound.The incense pavilion is hidden, the eyebrows are drawn, and the moon will sink.

Struggle not to find each other?Resentment and quilt.For my heart, for your heart, I know each other deeply.

——Gu Wei (Five Dynasties)

……

Jing Wang Li Yu said: "General Bai, why are you so pessimistic?

You can wipe out [-] cavalry from the Bohai County with [-] soldiers in the Northwest Court.If the main force of the Tang army is under your full command, wouldn't it be possible to defeat the rebels? "

The opinion of Jing Wang Li Yan was also the opinion of most of the princes, and everyone looked at Bai Fu with full expectation.

Bai Fu quickly waved his hands, denying this point of view.

Bai Fu replied humbly: "The Tang army was able to win the battle of White Wolf Mountain, in addition to relying on His Majesty's great blessing, it mainly took advantage of the special terrain of White Wolf Mountain and the arrogance of the Bohai County.

The rebel army is different. They are the generals of the Tang army, and they are familiar with the tactics and tactics of the Tang army, so they are not easy to fall into the trap set by us.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, apart from famous generals such as Li Jing, Li Shiji, and Su Dingfang, the reason why the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tuqishi were able to destroy the grassland tribes was that the horses, weapons, and supplies of the Tang army had been significantly improved.

The natural horse farms in the Hexi Corridor can continuously deliver vigorous war horses to the Tang army.

Tang Jun's longbows have a longer range, sharper arrow clusters, and sharper horizontal knives... These weapons can penetrate the leather armor of the grassland tribe cavalry and kill the enemy more effectively.

The Modao that turned out to be the natural enemy of the prairie cavalry, the Modao army attacked in formation, no matter defending or attacking, they were almost invincible.

At the same time, the Mingguang armor of the Tang army and the light armor of the war horse are not only stronger and more protective, but also light and flexible, which is very beneficial for cavalry combat.

The officers and men of the Tang army were already well-trained, and with the assistance of these sharp weapons, they were even more powerful and invincible.

However, the rebel army was originally the Tang army, composed of Fanyang army, Pinglu army, and Hedong army.Due to the perennial battles in Liaodong and Saibei, these armies are the divisions of a hundred battles, and their combat power is second only to the Anxi Army and Shuofang Army, but their numbers are larger than these two armies.

The rebels' horses, weapons, and supplies are all the main configuration of the Tang army.Once fighting, the firepower is strong, no less than the main force of the Tang army.This is why the rebels are more difficult to deal with than the steppe tribes.

The reason why the Huihe army is so strong now is also because in the battle to recover the two capitals, a large number of weapons and equipment of the Tang army were seized from the rebels. "

Bai Fuyan's poking made the princes have a new understanding of the strength of the rebel army.

Yan Wang Li Yan said: "General Bai, what you said is very reasonable. However, you are still too modest. You command the camp in the Northwest Court of An'an like your arms and fingers.

If Shuofang Army is also handed over to you to command, will it be possible to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the rebel army? "

Bai Fu hastily surrendered his hand and said: "I can command the camp in the Northwest Court of Anxi because the former chief generals of the Anxi Army, General Li Siye, General Duan Xiushi and General Li Feiyuanli are close friends with me.

During the First Battle of Xiangji Temple, I led the vanguard battalion of the Anximo Sword Army, and fought with Anxi's soldiers through life and death.Therefore, it is easier for the generals in the army to accept me.

On the contrary, an old-school force like the Shuofang Army cannot be led by a general with outstanding achievements and high morals.Controlling this army depends not only on military rank and ability, but also on seniority, prestige and virtue. "

Jing Wang Li Yan said: "General Bai, what do you mean, Wei Boyu, Li Baoyu, Tian Shengong and other generals cannot lead the army as deputy marshals?"

Bai Fu nodded and said: "At present, only Generals Guo Ziyi and General Li Guangbi in the Tang army have such prestige and can successfully command the troops.

Secondly, veterans such as Lai Zhen, Wang Sili, and Pugu Huai'en must be counted.They can command one or two main forces of the Tang army, but it is also difficult to control the armies. "

Yue Wang Li Xi suddenly interjected and asked, "Going back to what you just said. You mean, if you want to truly control an army, you must share weal and woe with this army, go through life and death?"

Bai Fu nodded, and said: "This is my deep experience. The army is no better than a state or county. It's not like changing a prefect, you can follow the gourd and draw a ladle, and govern the people as they are.

The battlefield is a place of death and life. If the soldiers of the three armies do not have complete trust in the commander, the command will be greatly reduced. "

After Bai Fu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tinge of heat behind his back, like a thorn on his back.Turning his head to look, a sullen gaze was fixed on him - it was the prince Li Chu (Li Yu).

When the princes saw the prince coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Li Chu nodded slightly, walked like a tiger, walked in front of Bai Fu, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Li Chu was furious when he saw Bai Fu.

After Princess Qingluan was rescued, Huihe Khan quickly presented the letter of credence, expressed his apology, and was willing to re-conclude the alliance.

Suzong ordered Prince Li Chu to enter the Linde Hall and scolded him.

Suzong threw the Huihe national book on Li Chu's face, pointed at Li Chu's nose and cursed: "Luan'er has been running around in all directions for her own brother to enter the East Palace.

In order to raise funds for you, Luan'er even put aside her princess figure, showed her face in public, engaged in business as a merchant, and earned interest.

You are just such a sister from the same country, when it comes to rescuing Luan'er, you are not as good as other princes.

You didn't even know Huihe's cards, so you rushed to make a marriage.

I listened to your words and almost killed Luan'er! "

Li Chu was so ashamed to be scolded by his father in front of court ladies and eunuchs.

……

Suzong still heard the words, and Li Chu's shame had turned into resentment.

Li Chu stared at Bai Fu viciously, Bai Fu was fearless, his eyes never backed down, like a cold mirror, reflecting Li Chu's anger back.

Between the eyes of the two, it was like a hammer hitting an anvil, and sparks flew everywhere.

Bai Fu learned from the intelligence that Prince Li Chu was the one who persuaded Suzong not to save Qingluan, and sacrificed the princess in exchange for the Huihe covenant.

At that time, the city of Chang'an was destroyed, and Li Chu's wife, Shen Zhenzhu, fell into the chaos.After recovering the two capitals, Li Chu did not feel pity for the innocent Shen Zhenzhu, but instead abandoned the poor woman on the grounds of losing her reputation.

After Shi Siming's rebels captured Luoyang, Li Chu even publicly announced the death of Princess Shen Zhenzhu.

Thinking about the dirty things Li Chu did, Bai Fu despised this man even more - even if he is the crown prince, the prince of the empire!

The contempt in Bai Fu's eyes made Li Chu angry again.

Li Chu was determined to embarrass Bai Fu. He looked around at the princes, pointed at Bai Fu, and said in a contemptuous tone: "I heard that this man brags himself when he meets everyone, saying that he killed sea monsters in the waters of the Japanese kingdom, defeated Pass the Xuanwu turtle and snake.

If this person has such supernatural powers, is Shuofang Army and Anxi Army still useful?
If Bai Fu really wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly, why didn't he "single-handedly" break into the rebel tent and directly decapitate Shi Siming, the rebel lord?

In this way, it is clean and tidy, not only put down the rebellion immediately, but also save the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Tang Dynasty.

What about my king's proposal?General Bai? "

Li Chu deliberately elongated his tone, and mocked in a strange way.

All the princes could hear the sarcasm in Prince Li Chu's words, the sarcasm and ridicule towards Bai Fu.All the princes kept silent, secretly sweating for Bai Fu.

Only the two sons-in-law were ignorant of worldly affairs, clapping their hands and saying in agreement: "His Royal Highness, this proposal is good!

As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king first.Although the assassination is quite dangerous, once it succeeds, the matter of the rebels can be settled once and for all.

Of course, it is still too difficult to rely on the strength of General Bai alone. You might as well select elite warriors from the army and go together. "

Someone slapped his feet, Prince Li Chu became more and more arrogant, he looked at Bai Fu provocatively, and humiliated Bai Fu again: "General Bai, don't you claim to be the world's best in martial arts? Do you dare?"

……

Bai Fu also commanded thousands of troops. As a general in command, how can he be the one who can be irritated by a few words from his opponent?
Bai Fu knew what Li Chu was up to, he seemed to be humiliating himself, but in fact he was making a fool of himself in front of the princes.Of course, Li Chu hoped that if he was furious, he could take the opportunity to fabricate a charge of assaulting the prince and go to prison for questioning.

Bai Fu sneered in his heart, decided to break the conspiracy with Yang, followed the trend, and said the irony.

Bai Fu calmly said, "About the assassination of Shi Siming, the marching commanders of the Shuofang Army also formulated a plan called 'Operation Beheading'.

However, after repeated discussions between General Li Guangbi and senior generals in the army, we rejected this plan.

Shi Siming is very cunning and has many experts around him, so it is quite difficult to assassinate him.In addition, there is another more important reason. "

Speaking of this, Bai Fu deliberately slowed down his speech to attract everyone's attention.

Sure enough, Peng Wang Li Zhi and Jing Wang Li Tong asked in unison: "What is the reason?"

Bai Fulang said: "The more important reason is: the overall strategy to eliminate the rebels."

Seeing that the princes were puzzled, Bai Fu expanded the topic and said, "Why do you say that?
Taking the Anxi Army's war of annihilation in the Western Regions as an example, it is easy to destroy the countries in the Western Regions.Because no matter how small the Western Regions are, there is a hereditary monarch.If a country is compared to a tiger, the monarch or the royal family is the tiger's head. If you cut off the tiger's head, it will die and the country will be destroyed.

But the Rebels are completely different.Today's Hebei Road rebels are more like "starfish" in the sea. If you cut off one limb of a starfish, it will become two starfish.

The Tang army's continuous attack on the rebels caused the dispersal of the leaders of the rebels in Hebei Province.

Just after An Lushan died, another An Qingxu appeared; after An Qingxu was killed, another Shi Siming appeared.

To kill Shi Siming, it might be Shi Chaoyi, Shi Siming's son. How about killing Shi Chaoyi?Will Ashina Chengqing and Tian Chengsi be next?
After that, even we couldn't name the rebel leader.

This just shows that the blow to the Hebei rebels is like hitting mercury with a wooden hammer.The harder the attack, the more dispersed and de-leaderized the Hebei rebels became.It is even more difficult to completely wipe out the rebels and regain Hebei Road.

This is why Mr. Li Mi's 'Peng Yuan Countermeasure' is second to none.

Before Fan Yang's rebels were completely wiped out, Shi Siming was finally kept.Then go south from Fanyang and sweep all the way, driving all the rebels in Hebei Road to Luoyang area, led by Shi Siming.

Then, the main forces of the Tang army joined together to encircle them, and it was determined by the first battle.Once and for all, completely solve the rebellion of soldiers and horses in the three towns of Hedong, Pinglu, and Fanyang! "

Bai Fu used the assassin Shi Siming as an introduction to re-emphasize the strategic value and significance of Li Mi's "Peng Yuan Countermeasure".

The princes nodded frequently, deeply agreeing.This time, even the consorts understood it thoroughly.

Yue King Li Xi came out with more people, took Bai Fu's hand and praised: "Thank you General Bai for reminding, otherwise Tang Jun will make a big mistake if he acts rashly."

Seeing that everyone stood by Bai Fu's side unanimously, Prince Li Chu's face was dull, he became angry from embarrassment, and reprimanded in a gaffe: "What nonsense!" After saying that, he walked away.

Just as Prince Li Chu led his attendants to leave, an attendant beside Li Chu turned his head and looked back at Bai Fu.This ray of gaze is as real as it is, and Bai Fuli feels it.

This person was wearing armor and had an ordinary appearance, probably never seen before.But for some reason, Bai Fu felt a sense of déjà vu.
