Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 563 Is it redundant?uncertain

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, on the 26th day of May, at Daming Palace and Zichen Palace, Li Shimin sat on a dragon chair and watched the family letter and military intelligence pond report from Kuaima.As he watched, he sighed. He thought of the horrific battle, but he didn't expect it to be so horrific that more than [-] generals and officers above the fifth rank died in battle.

Seeing the emperor's unkind expression, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all raised their hearts in their throats. A total of more than [-] troops were mobilized before and after this battle. Command so many armies independently at once.

If he loses the battle, it will not only humiliate the country, but also cause shocks in the court, which will be harmful to his stable position without exception.Especially Changsun Wuji, who is usually such a calm person, but now sitting below was sweating profusely, and even rubbed his hands anxiously.

Can you take it easy?Chaozhong seems to be calm now, and no one comes out to provoke trouble, but this does not mean that no one is doing anything secretly.Let's just talk about those who have grudges against the East Palace, all of them are waiting to see the prince's defeat with their necks up, and then they will attack together and pull him down from the reserve position.

Noticing that the faces of several confidants were not good-looking, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face. Don't these guys have a lot of confidence in Gao Ming?Seeing that the military report in his hand was handed over to Du Ruhui, he smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Gao Ming fought well in front. I didn't expect that this kid can not only fight, but also fight tough and deadly battles. This bone is really important." " After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to Du Ruhui, motioning him to read the military bulletin to everyone.

Hearing what the emperor said, Fang Du and others let out a long sigh. This young master is enough to say, he can play tricks in anything, but anyway, it’s good for me, Tang Jun, so that’s it. One can avoid a lot of trouble.Especially Changsun Wuji, with the smile on the emperor's face, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground, holding so many troops in his hands, if he loses the battle, the East Palace will be completely finished, Gods and Buddhas bless him ah!

Just when Changsun Wuji was praying with gratitude to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, Du Ruhui cleared his throat, and said in a serious voice: "The minister-Jiangyuan Road Marching Chief-Crown Prince Chengqian, bowed down to the father's palace thousands of miles away..., As of mid-May, our troops beheaded more than 78 people from the Tubo army and [-] enemy generals. Now Erchen is leading the main force of the army to deal with the enemy in Songzhou,... and is looking for a chance to fight the enemy to the death. Please rest assured, my emperor, I will let Songtsan Gampo fall under the Songzhou city, so that he will be unable to look eastward."

After listening to the military report read by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling brushed his beard and praised: "To be honest, seeing that the Tubo army is so powerful, besides the Jiangyuan army, the prince's subordinates are all newly recruited soldiers from the local area. How much is really not low, really sweating for His Highness.

But now it seems that His Highness not only inflicted a lot of damage on the enemy with a weak force and boosted the enemy's spirit, but also dragged the main force of Tubo to Songzhou.This creates favorable conditions for the army to counterattack, and His Highness's ability to command the troops has been passed down by His Majesty. "

What Fang Xuanling said is correct, relying on Jiancheng and the Tubo army to die, although the leading Su Dingfang army lost [-]% of the battle, it also caused a lot of damage to the Tubo army, and at the same time consumed their vigor and vitality. A large amount of military supplies.Then, using the Jiangyuan army and some government soldiers in his hands as the capital, he will give a fatal blow at the right time. If there are no accidents in this battle, then Datang's victory is basically a certainty.

The reason why I said I was worried was not only because of the gap in military strength, but also because of the prince's habit of using troops. According to previous battles, the prince's use of troops and Hou Junji belonged to the same category.If this kind of tactics is used properly, it can indeed reap extraordinary results, but if there is a deviation, it will undoubtedly be drinking poison to quench thirst, and the entire army may be wiped out at any time.

So from Lao Fang's point of view, if Hou Junji doesn't get rid of this problem, he will not be able to catch up with his mentor Li Jing in eight lifetimes.And the prince understood the words "Qi and Zheng" so thoroughly at such a young age, forced to endure the idea of ​​winning by surprise, and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai to consume the enemy. This state of mind is incomparable to many veterans who have been fighting for many years , so he really followed the emperor in commanding troops.

After Lao Fang finished speaking, Li Shimin, who came to the sand table, looked at Jishi Mountain and rubbed his chin. To be honest, there was no mistake in Gao Ming's strategic deployment. South attack.

Tubo and Tuyuhun have supported each other for many years, and they have a deep influence there, otherwise they would not be able to disturb the entire Xikaidao for a moment of peace, leaving Hou Junji with no time to separate himself.Where can you hide such a big action from anyone? Isn't this telling people clearly that I'm here to follow your back?

"Your Majesty, do you think it's redundant to let Li Daliang go out of Jishi Mountain?" Du Ruhui came behind the emperor and said respectfully.

"Oh, Keming, you can see it too. Tell me, what do you think?" The emperor's words aroused the curiosity of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, so they all surrounded him to see how Du Ruhui understood the prince's words. Hands "take the back road".

Rolling up his sleeves, Du Ruhui picked up the stick in front of the sand table, pointed in the direction of Jishi Mountain and Sedi, and explained: "According to the current deployment of troops, Li Daliang and Xue Wanjun must first conquer Voya, Maiwa, and Ertama. After a small town, the soldiers pointed directly at Sedi, the base camp of the Tubo army, threatening their way back home and logistical supplies.”

Du Ruhui's analysis made sense, and the three of Li Shimin nodded frequently after hearing this, and then only heard Lao Du continue: "It is not difficult to achieve such a strategic goal, but it is difficult to keep it secret. They can get the news within a short time, and they can have enough time to calmly deploy troops to stop them."

"It seems that such a layout is indeed a bit redundant, but how can the prince not know such a simple truth? So the old minister thinks that His Highness did it deliberately, as the saying goes, the false and the false alternate.

He will definitely choose another one to attack the back of the enemy army in Songzhou. His Highness can pick the small ones first when pulling out carrots. It is a blessing for the country to be pragmatic and truth-seeking!As for where to send people, the veteran thought it should be between Yanggonggou and Geya. "

"Fang Mou Du Duan" has been famous all over the world as early as when the emperor was still the King of Qin. Du Ruhui has never missed any judgments, especially military affairs, for more than 20 years.So after hearing his explanation, Li Shimin and others turned their attention from the color land where the Songtsan cadres were stationed to Songzhou. Killing pigs and bleeding first, only by removing their wings can they win steadily. Too much appetite is easy to sustain with.

But is what Du Ruhui said really what Li Chengqian had in mind?That's right, that's not right. Pulling radishes and bleeding are one aspect. What Li Chengqian really cares about is that place. .
