Man Tanghong

Chapter 914

Su Dingfang was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not to say..."

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, then ordered: "Then send someone to tell him clearly, if he is willing to wait for me at the bottom of the hill, I am willing to change the place to Huluqiu, if he is not willing, then I can only wait for me at the bottom of the hill." Immortal Ridge."

Su Dingfang hesitated, "What if he doesn't want to?"

Li Yuanji didn't speak, Li Shimin coughed lightly and said: "It's he who begged me, Datang, not me, Datang, who begged him, everything can't be left to him."

Su Dingfang took a special look at Li Shimin, and continued: "But if he insists on his own opinion, our negotiation with him may come to an impasse."

Li Shimin still wanted to speak, but Li Yuanji stepped forward and said: "Then fight and talk!"

Anyway, Datang had already done the work of conquering the Turks, and tens of thousands of troops had also gathered at the outrageous border, so there was no need to let Liang Luoren go all the time, let Liang Luoren have his own temper.

Now it is not the Turkic or Liang kingdoms that are dominant, Datang needs to instigate Liang Luoren to win the war.

Now the Tang Dynasty is dominant, and the Tang Dynasty occupies the initiative, so everything between the Tang, Tu, and Liang forces should be decided by the Tang Dynasty.

Su Dingfang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said excitedly: "It should have been done a long time ago, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of my Tang Dynasty gathered here, and Shuofang City fell with a drum, what qualifications does Liang Luoren have to follow?" We haggle?

If he is willing to fall to us, our Tang Dynasty will treat him with high officials and rich salary.

If he is not willing to fall to us, there is no need for me, Datang, to be polite to him. "

After staying in Daizhou for nearly two years, Su Dingfang has already figured out the situation in Daizhou, Shuozhou and other places. He has already made up his mind about how to leave Daizhou, approach Shuozhou, and enter Turks. count.

If it weren't for the fact that Datang needed Turks to continue internal friction and needed to take Liang Guo at the least cost, he would have volunteered to conquer Liang Guo and marched into Turks.

Now everything is coming according to his mind, how could he not be excited, how could he be unhappy?
It is estimated that not only him, but most of the generals and schools in Daizhou also think so.

After all, except for Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others who were able to come to Daizhou because they had no choice, most of the rest came for military exploits.

But they have been in Daizhou for almost two years, and except for Cheng Yaojin who recently went out to pick up some credits and came back, the others have not made any contributions.

Now everyone is afraid that they are all suffocated, and now they are given the opportunity to go out to fight the enemy and establish the merits of expanding the territory, and they are absolutely willing to do so.

"Don't be too happy too early. You are not asked to fight at will, but to cooperate with Lingzhou's strategy, so everything depends on Lingzhou's deployment.

If Lingzhou asks you to pester Liang Luoren or the Dahe clan, but doesn't let you destroy them, you have to come here. "

Li Yuanji gave Su Dingfang a blank look, and said angrily.

The expression on Su Dingfang's face was negligent, and he said with a dry smile: "This minister knows..."

The war against the Turks was dominated by Li Jing and supplemented by others, so the general direction of the war and all the layout had to be under Li Jing's control.

It's not that whoever wants to fight can fight.

In some battles, when you can win, if the overall situation requires you to continue to stalemate or lose, then you have to find a way to stalemate and lose.

So Su Dingfang wanted to fight this battle with ease, want to fight as he pleases, and want to fight with free hands and feet, it was simply impossible.

Because he was not in the battle sequence of conquering the Turks.

It was because the changes exceeded the plan, so he was temporarily included in the battle sequence.

Therefore, as a temporary worker, he had to listen to Li Jing's official worker in everything. Not only that, but he could not destroy any of Li Jing's plans while completing the tasks assigned to him by Li Jing.

This was a very frustrating thing for him.

After all, let him be a victorious general who can't fight the victory, and can't pick up the credits dangling in front of his eyes. He can only confront the enemy or show his weakness. He will be very aggrieved.

Coupled with the restraints of various rules and regulations, when he fights, he will have the feeling of being locked in a cage to fight.

This kind of battle is a kind of torture for a person like him who has a strategy in his heart.

This is also the reason why many generals can't urinate in the same pot as other generals.

After all, if you can be a chicken head, who would want to be a phoenix tail that has no head and no troubles, but can only follow other people's heads and bodies?
You can't have a little bit of your own opinion, and you have to be controlled by others everywhere.

Although the phoenix tail is far more beautiful than the chicken head, but the external things like beauty are the things that those who have no strategy in mind and no big ambitions in their hearts like.

But anyone who has a strategy in mind and a big ambition in his heart is unlikely to like such flashy external things.

Therefore, Su Dingfang was destined to be aggrieved in this battle, and he also realized this, so he laughed very far-fetchedly.

Li Yuanji didn't offer consolation either, but nodded his head in relief and said, "It's good that you know, then go down and prepare first. First let Tudiji and Talibu teach the Dahe clan a lesson and force the Dahe clan to retreat. To the north of Yingzhou, put a little pressure on Sun Nishi and Master Liang, and let Liang Luoren see our strength."

In short, it was to frighten Sun Nishi and Liang Shidu, and Liang Luoren by the way, to let them all know that Datang has the power to attack their capital and king's account at any time. Should they continue to fight against Datang, or should they continue to fight against Datang? When Datang surrendered, they decided to do it themselves.

Su Dingfang didn't need anyone to comfort him, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

He is also a veteran on the battlefield, and he understands the truth that no flower can bloom for a hundred days, and the truth that no one can stand alone on the battlefield, so he also knows how to make green leaves for Li Jing.

"I obeyed the order, but in this way, it is easy to force Suni Shi and Liang Shidu together, and let them join hands to deal with us."

After Su Dingfang took the order, he hesitated.

Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "Do you want them to maintain the status quo, or even provoke them to turn against each other, and then break them down one by one?"

The meaning of Su Dingfang's words is obviously not that he is afraid that Suni Shi and Liang Shi will join hands, but that he hopes that Suni Shi and Liang Shi will continue to maintain the status quo, or turn their faces into enemies.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess what he thinks.

Su Dingfang nodded his head and said: "If we destroy them one by one, I only need [-] soldiers to achieve the goal of defeating them, but if they work together, we will have at least [-] to [-] elite soldiers, plus [-] government soldiers.

In this way, our investment will be large, and the loss will be large. "

For things like war, it doesn't mean that the more soldiers and horses, the better.

It depends on the specific situation.

When the enemy has 20 soldiers and horses, you must also prepare [-] soldiers and horses to ensure that you are not at a disadvantage. If you prepare [-] soldiers and horses, then you will be in the upper hand.

Can overwhelm the enemy with momentum.

But correspondingly, the money and food you have to bear, as well as the war damage, will be great.

It was originally a war of 4000 against [-]. If you lose the battle, you may lose [-] to [-] troops.

But if you invest [-] troops, you may lose more than [-] to as many as [-] or [-] after defeat.

Therefore, if a large-scale investment of troops is made, it is good to say that if the battle is defeated, the battle damage that needs to be borne will increase exponentially.

Therefore, most of the generals in charge of the army will give a reasonable number of troops according to the number of enemy soldiers before going out.

Very few people increased their numbers crazily after knowing the number of enemy soldiers.

Historically, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Wang Mang and others liked to do this kind of thing.

Oh, and the principal, 80 versus 60, the advantage lies with me.

It sounds like such an increase, but the premise is that after the expedition, you must win. If you lose, then everything will be over.

For example, Bai Qi and Wang Jian went out with soldiers and horses far exceeding the number of enemy soldiers, and they almost never lost.

So they established the majestic Great Qin.

For example, Wang Mang and the principal sent people to lead troops far exceeding the number of enemy soldiers, and lost several battles.

So it led to the defeat across the board, and finally lost the entire country.

Therefore, overweighting this kind of thing has advantages and disadvantages, but from the perspective of a ruler, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

After all, if you lose a battle with tens of thousands of people, you lose, and you can start all over again, but if you lose a battle with 10,000+ people, or even tens of 10 people, you have no chance to start all over again.

There is also the possibility of falling into a slump, or a situation of complete defeat, and finally lose the entire country.

Let's not talk about him as the principal, let's take Wang Mang as an example.

Wang Mang gathered hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from the New Dynasty and lost to Liu Xiu in the Battle of Kunyang. Since then, the situation of the entire New Dynasty has undergone a shocking reversal.

The insurgents who were originally attacked by Wang Mang in various ways have grown up one after another, and have become capable of fighting against the imperial court, and even suppressing the imperial court.

Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu also had their brains full of fat because of the Kunyang battle. They suddenly advanced from the third- and fourth-rate forces in the troubled times of the new era to the first-rate forces, and they were completely big.

Therefore, it is not a good thing for the ruler to overweight this kind of thing.

It is not a good thing for the general.

Otherwise, Su Dingfang wouldn't think about breaking them down one by one.

It's just that, in this battle with the Turks, Datang has invested a lot of troops. I dare not say that it surpasses the Turks, and I dare not say that it is equal to the Turks, but at least it has reached a level that is evenly matched with the Turks.

Even with fewer troops than the Turks, the combat effectiveness is still a level higher than the Turks.

So there is no need to overweight.

Su Dingfang's soldiers and horses, as long as they can help Li Jing complete the flank battle and achieve Li Jing's strategic goals, are enough. There is no need to think about defeating this or that.

So Su Dingfang's worries are a bit unnecessary.

"You want to succeed Li Jing and lead the war against the Turks?"

This was what Li Shimin said after hearing Su Dingfang's words.

The expression on his face was half a smile, as if he was mocking Su Dingfang for overthinking himself and daring to compete with Li Jing, and also seemed to be mocking Su Dingfang for not being able to distinguish his own position and wanting to turn against the customer.
