Man Tanghong

Chapter 71
Qu Tutong took the initiative to ask for orders.

What Li Yuanji said before in Feixiang Station has come true.

The heavy snow had indeed blocked the road, and it was impossible for Li Shimin to send troops to Mingshui City to help Luo Shixin in time.

With the soldiers and horses in Luo Shixin's hands, they could not stop Liu Heita's attack of tens of thousands of people.

They wanted to get out of the dense forest, kill Liu Heita by surprise, and create a chance for Luo Shixin to break through, it would be difficult to do so.

More than one foot of snow will hinder the soldiers' footsteps.

The soldiers waded through the thick snow to make a surprise attack, and their speed probably couldn't keep up with the speed of walking on weekdays.

Liu Heitai has a corridor to help him, so he can condescend and greet the soldiers with bows and crossbows.

It is very likely that the soldiers will be shot into a sieve, and they will not be able to get close to the corridor.

Therefore, we can only use the method Li Yuanji said at the beginning, and lead the soldiers and horses to rush into Mingshui City and help Luo Shixin guard Mingshui City before Liu Heita has completely built the tunnel.

It was impossible for Qu Tutong to let Li Yuanji do this kind of thing, so he volunteered.

Li Yuanji mused and did not speak.

Su Dingfang, who was lying on a stretcher at one side, suddenly said, "Does Your Highness want to lead the army into Mingshui City and help the people in the city guard Mingshui City, or do you want to raid Liu Heita to share part of the pressure for the people in the city?"

Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang, and Qu Tutong also looked at Su Dingfang with astonishment.

Li Yuanji said frankly: "I want to raid Liu Heita to share part of the pressure for the people in the city, and by the way, create a chance for them to break through when they are most in danger."

When Li Yuanji said this, he looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Do you have a solution?"

Su Dingfang pondered for a while, and said: "Now the road is blocked by heavy snow, and Liu Heitai is guarding the corridor. If we rush out rashly, we will only become Liu Heitai's target."

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang looked at Li Yuanji and asked, "Does your Highness know how to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

Qu Tutong looked at Su Dingfang thoughtfully.

Su Dingfang continued: "Liu Heita's grain and grass camp is not far behind him at Hu Jinkou. Since we have no way to raid Liu Heita, why not lead the army to raid Liu Heita's grain and grass camp.

Inside and outside Liu Heita's grain and grass camp, there are no corridors.

There are only more than [-] soldiers and horses guarding the grain and grass camp.

Among them, there are only more than [-] soldiers.

With our strength, it is enough to deal with it. "

Qu Tutong looked at Su Dingfang in surprise, he finally understood why Li Yuanji valued Su Dingfang.

In such a short period of time, Su Dingfang was able to come up with such a way to help Mingshui City out of the siege, it was indeed a bit of a strategy.

More importantly, Su Dingfang has extraordinary courage and insight.

Hu Jinkou, where Liu Heita stockpiled grain and grass, was in the northeast corner of Mingshui City.

If they were going to attack Liu Heita's grain and grass camp, they would have to go around Liu Heita's rear.

Once the sneak attack is successful, he will be hunted down by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Liu Heita.

If the sneak attack fails, he will be chased and killed by Liu Heita's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

If you are not careful, you may be made dumplings by Liu Heita.

"If General Qu Tu leads the army, and I assist from the side, there is a [-]% chance that all Liu Heita's food and grass will be burned."

Su Dingfang stared at Li Yuanji with burning eyes and said.

Liu Heitai did not have a stable rear area to provide him with food and grass, and the food in his hands was very limited.

Part of it was contributed by Li Shiji, and the other part was obtained by extorting money along the way.

Once Liu Heita's grain and grass are burned, Liu Heita's military morale will be in chaos.

Once the army's morale was in turmoil, Liu Heita couldn't attack Mingshui City wholeheartedly.

The pressure on Mingshui City was naturally greatly reduced.

More importantly, Liu Heita's army was in disarray, and it became easier for Datang to clean up Liu Heita.

The reason why Su Dingfang proposed this strategy was obviously to make meritorious service, to let Li Yuanji see his value, to let Li Yuanji understand that he was worthy of Li Yuanji's kind treatment.

He was also smart, and when he proposed this strategy, he didn't drag Li Yuanji into the water.

If he dragged Li Yuanji into the water and let Li Yuanji go to the rear of Liu Heita to take risks, Qu Tutong would definitely be unwilling, and other soldiers would also have opinions on him.

After listening to Su Dingfang's strategy, Qu Tutong said without hesitation, "This move is feasible."

Su Dingfang came out of Liu Heita's command, and he knew the location of Liu Heita's grain and grass camp clearly. If he led the soldiers to attack Liu Heita's grain and grass camp, he could easily find the location of Liu Heita's grain and grass camp. It can save a lot of effort and avoid a lot of wrongdoing.

If Su Dingfang's strategy is successful, it will not only relieve the pressure on Mingshui City, but also help Datang mess up Liu Heita's morale.

Even if it fails, he and Su Dingfang can lead soldiers and horses deep into Liu Heita's rear area, disrupt Liu Heita's rear area, and achieve the same effect.

However, he can express his opinion on this matter, but he has no way to decide.

Because the decision is in Li Yuanji's hands.

If Li Yuanji didn't agree, even if there were great benefits in it, it would be useless.

Li Yuanji's eyes fell on Qu Tutong and then on Su Dingfang.

He understood the benefits of this, but it seemed that Qu Tutong and Su Dingfang were not suitable to attack Liu Heita's grain and grass camp.

Qu Tutong was sixty years old and couldn't stand the long journey.

To avoid Liu Heita's eyes and ears and sneak attack Liu Heita's food and grass camp, he had to make a big circle outside Mingshui City.

On weekdays, Qu Tutong might be able to bear it.

But now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is far more difficult to run than usual.

Qu Tutong may not be able to bear it.

Although Su Dingfang is young and strong, Su Dingfang has an injury on his body, and the wound has just been bandaged. If there is a little bit of strenuous exercise, the wound will ooze blood. If he travels for a long distance, he may die on the road.

He finally recruited such a talent as Su Dingfang, and immediately sent Su Dingfang out to kill him, so what did he recruit?
Solicited a lonely?

"You guys should lead people into Mingshui City and go to rescue Luo Shixin."

Li Yuanji weighed it over and over again, and finally decided to be conservative.

Qu Tutong and Su Dingfang saved their lives, and it was enough to save Luo Shixin. Let Li Shimin take care of Liu Heitai.

Anyway, this is what Li Shimin came to Hebei this time for.

If he helped Li Shimin weaken Liu Heitai, Li Shimin might not be happy about it.

After all, Li Shimin led a large group of people to attack aggressively from Chang'an City, and as a result, Liu Heitai was weakened by him to the point where he could not be beaten.

Where is the face of Li Shimin and the gang under Li Shimin's command?
Su Dingfang became anxious, "Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity!"

Qu Tutong also persuaded from the side, "Your Highness, this move is very beneficial to our Tang Dynasty. If it is successful, our Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to wipe out Liu Heita with ease."

Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong and questioned, "So what? You are over [-] years old and have been running around with me all night, and now you have to run around in a big circle to go behind Liu Heita, can you hold on?
Although the other is strong and strong, he has eight wounds on his body, one of which is more than an inch deep. If he moves a little more, blood will ooze out after the injury, and he will travel long distances to sneak attack on Liu Heita's food and grass. Daying, what if you die from the exhaustion of the journey before you reach the destination? "

Li Yuanji was not polite at all, and his words were very ugly.

Qu Tutong stared straight at the hearing, panting like a cow and said: "Your Highness is too underestimating the subject?"

As he spoke, he wanted to take off his clothes and belts, and let Li Yuanji see that although Qu Tutong was an old man, he was still in good health.

Su Dingfang also got up from the stretcher, wanting to show Li Yuanji his bravery.

Li Yuanji pressed Su Dingfang firmly on the stretcher with one hand, stopped Qu Tutong from undressing with the other hand, and said angrily: "Okay, don't mess around.

I didn't mean to humiliate you.

I'm just afraid that you will die on the way and leave me alone. "

Although Qu Tutong was restrained by Li Yuanji, he still stuck his neck and said: "If your Highness is afraid that Su Dingfang will be in danger, then I will go alone. Your Highness only needs to ask Su Dingfang to tell my minister the location of Liu Heita's grain and grass camp. Can."

Li Yuanji gave Qu Tutong a blank look, "In your heart, I am a ruthless person who only cares who is useful to me and who is useless to me?

You and I have been together for almost two months this time, right?

Is there no friendship at all? "

Qu Tutong's face changed, and he was a little embarrassed, "Chen... I just said something wrong in a moment of impatience. The surprise attack on Liu Heita's grain and grass camp is really important to my Tang Dynasty.

Your Highness can't just give up on this matter just because he pities you.

My generation of warriors, from the moment they set off, they gave their lives to the battlefield.

The long-cherished wish of my generation of warriors is to follow the example of Ma Yuan in the Han Dynasty, and return the corpse wrapped in horse leather. "

At the end of Qu Tutong's speech, he was a little excited.

Obviously, he spoke from his heart.

Su Dingfang was lying on the stretcher and nodded vigorously, very much agreeing with Qu Tutong's words.

The glory of being a general is to bear a whole body of meritorious service, and return the body shrouded in horse leather.

Li Yuanji glared at Qu Tutong viciously, "You only remember that horses aided horses in the Han Dynasty to shroud corpses in horse leather, so do you remember that the champion Hou of the Han Dynasty sealed the wolf as the Xu Xu, and Uncle Dou Guo Yan took the meritorious service?
My Great Tang not only has Liu Heita as an enemy, but also the Turkic people in the north, Tuyuhun in the west, and so on.

You will have many enemies to deal with in the future.

Your goal should be to march across the northern lands and across the Western Regions, not to die for a single Liu Heitai. "

Qu Tutong and Su Dingfang were momentarily taken aback when they heard this.

After recovering, Qu Tutong looked a little sad, and Su Dingfang's eyes brightened little by little.

The reason why Qu Tutong looked gloomy was because he was old and he could count the chances of going to war on his fingers.

What Li Yuanji said about riding the horses in the north and crossing the western regions basically has nothing to do with him.

The reason why Su Dingfang's eyes brightened up was because Li Yuanji was able to mention the Turkic people and Tuyuhun, which meant that Li Yuanji had the intention of dealing with the Turkic people and Tuyuhun. He followed Li Yuanji, so he naturally had the opportunity to participate in it. A lot of feats are waiting for him to reap.

Feng Lang Juxu, Yan Ran Le Shi, Huo Qubing and Dou Xian did it, and he... did half of it.

He didn't dare to seal the wolf and live in Xu.

Those with the seal are the authority of the emperor, unless the emperor loves you and acquiesces in doing this kind of thing, otherwise you will have to beheaded if you do it.
