Chapter 252
After that, the advance speed of the army was not only raised to a higher level. After Qinzhou came out, it passed Weizhou and Lanzhou successively. It was originally thought that it would take the road to April, but with the help of skateboards and the weather, it fell at the end of January. Arrived in Lanzhou.

Going forward, you will reach the Hehuang Valley, and Tuyuhun is now located in Qinghai. There are only two essence areas, one is the Hehuang Valley, and the other is some Qinghai Lakes to the west.

It can be said that when the Tang army arrived in Lanzhou, Tuyuhun naturally felt threatened, and at the same time knew the news of the arrival of the Tang army.

To be honest, the situation in front of us is different from the historical Tang Dynasty's situation against Tuyuhun.

Historically, the Tuyuhun army ransacked for a whole season. Relying on the cover brought by the blizzard, they successfully retreated to Shancheng, where the terrain was relatively safe and well-defended, before the arrival of the Tang army. That's another story.

But this time, relying on the unexpected mobility brought by the entire army's mastery of skis, Tang Jun arrived far faster than Tuyuhun expected. They never expected that Tang Jun would arrive in Lanzhou in just a month despite the wind and snow.

And Li Jing also organized the army at this time and began to discuss military affairs.

"It seems that Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun didn't expect that we could go through the wind and snow so quickly to reach this place."

When Li Jing said this, he looked at Li Tai beside him, and said, "We still have to thank King Yan for his skis!"

"It's easy, it's easy!" Li Tai greeted humbly, and stepped aside decisively.

"Mr. Li, although the skateboard allowed us to travel smoothly, the army is exhausted after running for thousands of miles. It is already at the end of its strength. I suggest to rest in place and at least let the soldiers recover their combat effectiveness!" Li Daliang said.

"Absolutely not!" Hou Junji said, "It is precisely because we took advantage of the advantage of skateboards to rush here for thousands of miles that we have the opportunity to move first. Naturally, we have to take advantage of Murong Fuyun's return and go straight to the Hehuang Valley. Defeat Shancheng and cut off Murong Fuyun's retreat."

"Chen Guogong, even if the escape route is cut off, Tuyuhun can completely allow the troops to escape from the direction of Ganzhou Shazhou.

All the way to intercept and loot to obtain supplies, we have no troops behind him, he can definitely run if he wants to! "

Li Daozong thought about it,
"I also support General Li Daliang's opinion. We are resting in Lanzhou. One is to wait for Murong Fuyun to come over for a decisive battle, and the other is to wait for Qibi Heli's Tie Le cavalry to come over!"

"It's so stupid, we finally gained the upper hand, and you all use it to rest!" Hou Junji couldn't help but angrily said.

"General Hou, it's useless to be angry when fighting something like this." Gao Zengsheng also said aside,

"Our army has crossed the snow-capped mountains of several states. Whose troops have fully maintained their combat effectiveness along the way? The army does need a period of time to repair."

All in all, except for Hou Junji, the vast majority of people on the scene were not very supportive of taking risks.

After all, Xuetiangan is based here, and the vast majority of people agree to restore the state of the army first, and then decide on an offensive strategy.

Hou Junji looked around, but no one supported his opinion, so he couldn't help being extremely angry.

But this is a matter of discussion in the army, it is useless to lose your temper, who is not a veteran in the army, Hou Junji couldn't help but look at Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing would make a wise decision.

Li Jing also frowned. To be honest, Li Jing thought much more than they did.

To put it simply, for Li Jing, what he wants is to destroy the country, earn enough merits for his retirement career, and let himself recall the days of youth, which is a glory without regrets.

Therefore, Li Jing needs to fight this war, but his goal is not in his plan.

According to normal history, because Murong Fuyun is in Shancheng, Li Tai doesn't need to think too much, he chases and kills all the way, because behind him is Tuyuhun's basic board, he can only keep retreating, keep being chased and killed, and then Li Jing completely killed Tuyuhun.

But now that Murong Fuyun is not in Shancheng, what Li Jing is worried about is that after he took Shancheng down, Murong Fuyun did not dare to confront the Tang army head-on, but ran directly to Ganzhou on the Shazhou, and went to the Western Regions. trouble.

After all, Li Jing is not afraid of anyone in a head-to-head fight, but if the other party really uses this disgusting harassment tactic, it will be very troublesome for even a military god-level figure like Li Jing to deal with it.

Therefore, Li Jing didn't want to give up the military initiative, but he also hoped to have a decisive battle with Tuyuhun!
Li Jing had some thoughts in his heart, but seeing Li Tai carefully looking at the map, he said to Li Tai,
"King Yan, if you have any thoughts, please tell me!"

When everyone heard that Li Jing asked Li Tai to speak, everyone present couldn't help being stunned.

Because in their view, Yan Wang is a thief with strong administrative ability, and has some cleverness that they don't understand.

But in the military, apart from the label of Li Shimin's son, Li Tai really has nothing to show for it.

"Me?" Li Tai faced Li Jing, but asked again with some unconfidence.

"Please tell the king of Yan!" Li Jing encouraged Li Tai, after all, Li Tai can't really be regarded as a mascot!
Moreover, Li Jing still recognized Li Tai's strategic ability.

Whether it was the original fishing plan or the food supply during the conquest of the Western Turks, to be honest, Li Jing might not believe Li Tai's practical ability.

But Li Tai's strategic ability Li Jing felt that every general present counted as one, and Li Tai might not be able to see clearly.

This is also the reason why Li Jing asked Li Tai to talk about it. Li Tai earned it by working hard all these years.

"My idea is that Aye asked us to destroy Tuyuhun, at least to make Tuyuhun incapable of fighting my Tang Dynasty again for 20 years. Of course, if it can be annexed smoothly, then it will naturally be annexed." Li Tai Look around everyone.

When everyone heard Li Tai's words, they seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact they were all in a daze.

Li Tai was not angry, but continued, "Based on this strategy, then we have two ways to achieve our goal.

One is to find a way to directly kill Murong Fuyun, and the other is to kill the vital force of the Tuyuhun clan. "

"It's easy to say, King Yan, what are your thoughts, please explain clearly at once!" Gao Zengsheng urged.

Li Tai glanced at it and silently made a note in his mind, then continued, "That naturally leads to two thoughts.

One is to let part of the army continue to attack the Hehuang Valley to attract Murong Fuyun to come.

Then the large army formed an encirclement circle around Murong Yunfu, and devoured Murong Fuyun by encircling the spot to fight for aid. "

The eyes of everyone present couldn't help but light up when they heard this. They didn't expect Li Tai to come up with such a way.

"King Yan continues!" Even Li Jing didn't expect that Li Tai still had some military talents.

And Li Tai was encouraged to continue to speak, "As for the second point, Murong Fuyun can't be killed if we can't fight for reinforcements.

Then our army needs an army to bite Murong Fuyun to death, and pursue and kill him wherever he escapes.

Murong Fuyun was the introduction we released, attracting all the living forces in Tuyuhun's sphere of influence, and let the cavalry chase and kill all the way behind.

Borrowing the last prestige of Murong Fuyun, the bereaved dog, plow the land of Tuyuhun, and kill the vitality of Tuyuhun to the maximum extent, so that we can take over the land of Tuyuhun. "

After Li Tai finished the second point, the generals present looked at Li Tai in surprise.

They didn't expect that Li Tai was so young, but he planned it so viciously.

It would be fine if Murong Fuyun really died in the battle, but if he really escaped, he might squeeze out the last bit of use value like being walked with a dog.

Even the prestige passed down from generation to generation by the Murong clan would be shattered, and Tuyuhun might never have the courage to fight Datang again.

Li Tai looked around, always felt that the people around him were looking at him strangely, but Li Tai felt that his thinking was quite normal, isn't it normal to go to the military to send aid?
Using the characteristics of the defeated army itself to lose its organization to completely destroy the stability of the area where it is located, and then let the Tang army appear on the stage as the king's army, isn't this a basic operation?
Of course, at the strategic level, how to proceed, Li Tai can tell the truth.

But for Li Tai to practice in practice, Li Tai's practical ability still needs more experience.

Li Jing nodded. In terms of planning at the strategic level, King Yan is very good after all. He even gave himself two ideas, even including remedial measures after the failure of the first plan. What's up.

Obviously, how to carry out this whole plan is to carry it out. This is my own problem.

"King Yan's idea is very good, let's gather around to help!" Li Jing nodded and said,
"We will implement the overall tactics according to this idea, and the army will advance all the way to the Hehuang Valley at a normal speed.

At the same time, it is also convenient for the army to take turns to rest, so that the soldiers can re-adapt to the state of the battlefield.

For the city ahead, I would be willing to throw away Tuyuhun, but if Shancheng (Xining) is lost, then the entire Hehuang Valley will be in my hands.

As long as this Shancheng hasn't changed hands, Murong Fuyun will crawl back to Shancheng to fight with us even if he crawls. "

At this time, Li Jing pointed to the encirclement on the map but continued to say:
"The next thing we have to do is to cut off the connection between Shancheng and the city behind Tugu, and ensure the synthesis of the encirclement network.

There are two roads in total, one is the avenue, which can go straight into Qinghai (Huangyuan, Linfan City in Tang Dynasty, but there is no such city now).

One is a small road (Huangzhong), which requires two generals to trek through mountains and rivers, detour to these two places, and cooperate with the army to attack! "

"Leave it to me!" Hou Junji was the first to stand up and said,

"After I led the army to detour to Tuyuhun, I cooperated with the army to launch an attack on Shancheng.

I still like to take the initiative on the battlefield by myself, and I don't like to wait! "

"If that's the case, then I will lead my subordinates to garrison the trail!" Li Tai recommended himself.

"King Yan!" Li Jing frowned when he heard Li Tai's self-recommendation, he didn't want Li Tai to go.

And Li Tai said, "My army is not good at attacking from the front. If you participate in the siege to fight for reinforcements, it will be easy to break through. In this case, it is better to take the trail and go to the trail to ambush.

Whether you will meet the enemy at that time is another matter, even if you meet the enemy, even if you can't keep the enemy, but you should be fine!
As for the second point, it is because the war department under my command has mastery talents. Compared with other troops, at least using tools to climb mountains and ridges is much easier than other war departments. "

Everyone heard Li Tai's words and thought about it, but no one objected to Li Tai's statement.

Li Tai's war department may not be so strong, but it is because Li Tai's war department is good at using various tools, and under Li Tai's thinking, there is one more way to solve problems. This is the advantage of Li Tai's war department.

Li Jing heard Li Tai's words, thought for a while and said, "King Yan, you and your war department are newcomers, I don't ask you to be like Chen Guogong, who can judge when to send troops based on the timing.

I just ask for one thing, don't act without authorization when you reach the trail, just follow what you said, ambush on the trail.

Even if no enemy is captured, the first-hand advantage you have given our army with your skateboard shoes is enough for you to make a great contribution! "

"President Li, don't worry, I'm the most obedient!" Li Tai nodded quickly.

Li Tai really didn't intend to make fun of his own life, he didn't listen to Li Jing's command and acted indiscriminately.

Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Tai's assurance. No matter what he said, Li Tai was not a reckless person.

Moreover, Li Tai's usual style of doing things is also based on prudence, but this time he just let Li Tai go to the trail to ambush, except for a little bit of wind and snow, there should be no problems... right!

"So, if you have any other requests, while you are still with the army, please ask as much as you can," Li Jing said.

"I want another ten catties of chicken nuggets for each person. Prepare one man and two horses for our army. When it is appropriate, I will launch a stab from the opponent's rear. In addition, the guide will bring a few more to avoid accidental consumption on the road!"

Hou Junji was not polite, and immediately made his request.

"It's all ready for you." Li Jing nodded. It's not uncommon for the guide to disappear after crossing mountains and ridges.

Li Jing set his sights on Li Tai.

And Li Tai was naturally not very polite, and said directly, "I... If I am, can you give me another two thousand crossbows, and a few more pots for each person!"

Li Jing glanced at Li Tai, but he didn't expect Li Tai to have such a request, so he thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Li Jing will agree to Li Tai, the main reason is that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, due to the military system, the military soldiers brought their own bows and arrows, so crossbows were relatively not mainstream. If you really need a long-range attack, use a bow Just one top.

Moreover, Li Jing was relieved to ask Li Tai for more crossbows.

After all, no matter how you look at it, things like crossbows are not offensive equipment, but defensive equipment.

Under such circumstances, Li Tai had heeded his warning after all, so he equipped Li Tai with more bows and crossbows. To be honest, Li Jing was still very relieved.

Arranged Li Tai and Hou Junji to cut off Murong Fuyun's retreat, and the rest of the army began to build a siege net, using Shancheng as a bait to attract Murong Fuyun who was looting Wuwei, and stepped into the siege in the net.

 Hey, one update after another, I am really just the life of a salted fish
