Chapter 492
Since the Tang army crossed the Dabu River at night and broke the camp of Junji Mountain, Junji Mountain has been owned by the Tang army. Even after the Tang army ambushed and killed Bazhuo, the Tang army has no threat in the northwest of Junji mountain.

Junji Mountain, the camp of the Tang Army, Li Ke heard that the subordinates of the Metropolitan Government and the governors of all states were discussing the Northern Expedition in the camp.

"This Northern Expedition was able to stabilize Jishan Mountain, thanks to the merits of all the generals. This king should go to Beijing and ask the father for your merits." In the big tent, Li Keduan sat on the commander-in-chief in the middle. , looking at the people in the account.

As soon as Li Ke's words fell, all the civil and military personnel in the tent also said one after another: "This is the work of the great governor, how dare we wait to live in stealth."

Li Ke said: "The merits of all of you have been recorded in the merit book by this king, but Junji Mountain has only been broken now, and the Northern Expedition is only one out of ten. achievement."

"But please order from the governor." Everyone heard what Li Ke meant, and they all responded in unison.

Li Ke looked around at the people in the tent, pressed his sword and walked to the map of Mobei hanging on the beam on one side. This map is very detailed. Li Ke was able to enlarge and expand the map that Zhao Deyan gave him as a gift.

Li Ke pointed to this map, at the junction of Junji Mountain and Yudujun Mountain, a place where the name of Lushan was marked, and everyone said in the account: "This king wants to take Yudujun Mountain from the east, he must After crossing Lushan Mountain, Lushan is the last barrier in front of Governor Yu's army, and the land is dangerous, Xue Yantuo people must deploy heavy troops here, can the generals have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Between Junji Mountain and Lu Mountain is a flat and wide pasture. Xue Yantuo would never garrison troops here.

And Lushan is connected with Dujun Yu Mountain, which is not only the subordinate mountain of Dujun Yu Mountain, but also the last barrier in front of Dujun Yu Mountain. Unless Yi Nan is eager to fight Li Ke on Dujun Yu Mountain, he will garrison troops ahead of Lushan. Stop the Tang army from going north.

"From the point of view of the general, although Mount Lu is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not the place for the army to go north. Since Xue Yantuo refused to defend the east, why don't we take a detour to the south and take Yu Dujun Mountain from the south. Wait for Dudu Junshan to be determined, and then go to Lushan after capturing the head of the bandit. At that time, there will be no leader in the group of bandits, and Lushan's rumor can be settled." Not long after Li Ke finished speaking, Situ Kang, the governor of Luzhou, spoke first.

What Situ Kang said is also a solution. Since Lu Shan is difficult to obtain, he can go straight to the court of Governor Yu Shan Khan, as long as he takes down Du Jun Shan and captures Yinan Khan, then Lu Shan defenders will be alone. If there is no climate, you can decide with a raise of your hand.

What Situ Kang said was indeed a solution, but after Situ Kang's words fell through, Li Ji, the deputy commander, stood up, and Li Ji vetoed: "The governor, the final general thinks that this is absolutely impossible."

Li Ke looked at Li Ji and asked, "Does the deputy commander have any objections?"

Li Ji replied: "Although Lushan is not the only way from Junji Mountain to Yudujun Mountain, Lushan is the main road sandwiched between Junji Mountain and Yudujun Mountain. If we ignore Lushan and go directly to Yudu Governor Mountain, not only is the rear army unstable, but the food road is also in danger of being cut off. If the food road is cut off, our army will become a lone army hanging in the desert, and it will be in danger."

Li Ji is an old commander. He has been in the army for many years and marched steadily. Although Situ Kang's words can avoid the immediate difficulties, they have planted the root of disaster. Naturally, Li Ji will not agree, and Li Ji's words are exactly what Li Ji said. What Ke is worried about is that the lone army goes deep and puts itself in a dangerous place, which is definitely not the action of military strategists.

Situ Kang listened to Li Ji's words, and saw that Li Ke seemed to be quite appreciative, and felt a little anxious.

During the Northern Expedition, this was the first time Situ Kang offered advice to Li Ke, but when he spoke just now, he was rejected by Li Ji without waiting for Li Ke to express his opinion. How could Li Ke look up to him again in the future?
Situ Kang knew that Li Ji had great prestige, but it was a matter of his own future, so he still argued: "The deputy general dare not agree with what the deputy commander said. Whenever the two armies fight, there is no certainty. Back then, the medicine master's Northern Expedition, if he hadn't used danger , how can there be a victory in the Evil Yang Ridge, and a big defeat of the Turks?"

What Situ Kang said has his reasons, just as Li Shimin chatted with Li Ke in private. Li Shimin once talked with Li Ke about the generals in Hedong, and his evaluation to Li Ji was "Using troops prudently will not lead to a big defeat." , and it is difficult to win a big victory."

Hearing Situ Kang's words, Li Ke also had some thoughts in his heart.Li Ke didn't want to fight to the death with the Xue Yantuo people who occupy the geographical advantage, and he didn't want to pile up the lives of his sons and daughters for this victory. The combination of Qi and Zheng is the essence of Li Jing's use of troops, and it is also Li Ke's most recent reading of "The Mirror of the Six Armies". income.

Li Ke pointed at the map, and suddenly said: "If the king takes Lushan with most of his troops, traps the defenders of Lushan, deceives Dujun Yushan with blindfolds, and then sends elites to the south to surprise Dujun Yushan, is that okay? "

Li Ke's words came into view, and everyone in the big tent was also stunned, but Li Ke's words were beyond their expectations.

The two armies are fighting, and they have already fought beyond the enemy's Yating. It is time to find an opportunity for a decisive battle. At this time, it should be a taboo for military strategists to divide the troops, but Li Ke is not Situ Kang, and his words cannot be refuted at will.

Just because it was inconvenient to refute Li Ke's words at will, everyone thought about it carefully in their hearts, but after thinking about it, everyone found that Li Ke's words seemed to be reasonable, and the risk was smaller than what Situ Kang said. But if it can be achieved, it will be a success.

It was still Li Ji who said: "The chief governor's words are very good, but it is too risky to attack Governor Yu's Army Mountain with only a few elite troops. If it is not appropriate, I am afraid that we will be attacked by both inside and outside."

Li Ke said: "What the deputy commander said is reasonable, but if you want to attack Yu Dujun Mountain, you shouldn't have too many troops. If there are too many, I'm afraid Xue Yantuo will be alert and it will not be easy to accomplish, and"

Li Ke paused, pointed to the location of Jinshan in the northwest on the map, and said with a smile: "And who said that the king has no reinforcements?"

Listening to Li Ke's words, Li Ji didn't know what Li Ke meant. Li Ji asked, "The governor is talking about Dadushe and the Western Turkic Tribe in the west?"

Li Ke said: "That's right, my king's large-scale northern expedition will inevitably slacken the defense of Xueyantuo Jinshan. This is the time when Dadu and Western Turks break through the defense line of Xueyantuo Jinshan. At that time, it will be the opportunity for this king to make a surprise attack."

Li Ji asked worriedly: "There are not a few people under Dadu's annexation of the Western Turks. If they take the opportunity to make a big move, once they find a good opportunity, it may not be a good thing for Datang."

Li Ke asked: "Is the deputy commander worried that the king will lure wolves into the house?"

Li Jidao: "Dadushi once betrayed Xue Yantuo, he is really an ambitious person. In the future, for the sake of Du Junshan, there may be no possibility of betraying my Tang Dynasty again. This matter should not be careless."

Li Ke said: "The deputy commander-in-chief can rest assured about this matter. Although Dadushi is a bad wolf, I have already found the rein that is tied to him. If he can use it, I will tie him with this rein." , if he can’t use it, this king will use this rein to strangle him, it’s not difficult.”
