The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 427
The next day, Liu Heita personally led [-] elite soldiers to join Li Shimin outside the city, and introduced Gao Yang, the leader of the army, to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw it, how could this be the Eastern Han Army?The Han people are naturally different from the Goryeo people, and their attire is also different. They are all knights in armor.Although Li Shimin was young, he was well-informed and recognized at a glance. The 5 troops in front of him were all soldiers from Goryeo, even the leader of the army, Gao Yang. He was smart and soon understood: oh , I said, why is Liu Heitai so bold and generous, so he is playing this trick with this king!
Goguryeo is now very close to the Turkic people, no need to ask, this is the soldier Liu Heita borrowed from Goguryeo through the Turkic people.Liu Heikai did not send a single soldier, let the king, the Turks and the Goguryeo people plan and fight for him, and he sat back and enjoyed the benefits. Isn't this playing the Turks, the Goguryeo people and the king?Coauthoring you to be your emperor here, we are all your pawns, your wishful thinking is really beautiful!

After Li Shimin figured it out, he was calm on the surface, and he was not angry in his heart, and then he became happy. The king is dozing off. You put a pillow here. Well, since you are not benevolent, don't blame the king for being unrighteous!At this time, Li Shimin had formed a strategy to deal with Liu Heita in his mind.

At this time, Gao Yang greeted Li Shimin, Li Shimin praised him a few words, and then combined the 10 soldiers and horses with his [-] horses to form the Li-Liu coalition army. Gao Yang was appointed deputy commander in chief.Li Shimin and Liu Heitai also raised the prepared coalition flag several times to show their grandeur.

After the ceremony, Liu Heita happily led the troops back to the city.

Li Shimin gave an order, and 15 horses set off.But when the army marched more than [-] miles south of Youzhou, Li Shimin suddenly ordered the troops to stop, and asked the generals Luo Yi and Shi Dayi to lead [-] troops to wander around in place to cover up people's eyes and eyes, and kept a close eye on Liu Heita in Youzhou. The main force turned around and headed north, heading straight for Yanzhou (that is, the area around Guyuan County now).

Gao Yang didn't understand, and the horse that caught up with Li Shimin asked, "Commander, we should go south to conquer Yang Yong. How do you send your troops to go north? Isn't this the opposite?" His question was also Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, etc. People's doubts are just that they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Li Shimin said sternly: "Commander Gao, this commander has already been rewarded. The Turkic people are not willing to kill me. They stationed troops at Baihekou in the north of Yanzhou. They have evil intentions. If you violate the Tang Dynasty, you will be punished even if you are far away. We must first sweep It is not too late to attack Yang Yong after clearing the obstacles in the rear, otherwise, our army will be in dire straits if the backyard catches fire. This commander is looking for an opportunity to discuss this matter with you."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others understood Li Shimin's intentions as soon as they heard it, and secretly praised Li Shimin for his dexterity.

Gao Yang was skeptical after hearing this, and thought to himself, is it true or not?So we are going to fight the Turks?But how is this possible?Our Koryo country is a friendly state with the Turks. The establishment of the Li-Liu Allied Army was also brought about by the Turks, and now they want to use troops against them?Does Liu Heita know?No, this matter is too big, but I have to obey the military orders. This commander has to ask His Majesty the King for instructions.

After making up his mind, Gao Yang pretended to be surprised, then nodded, expressing his approval and submission.Then during the march, he quietly wrote a secret letter and sent his confidants to Goguryeo.

Gao Yang thought he kept it very secret, but he didn't know that his letter was secretly slaughtered by Li Shimin's people shortly after he left the camp, and he intercepted the secret letter and handed it to Li Shimin secretly. Put away the letter, pretend not to know, and order the troops to move on.

A few days later, Li Shimin's troops arrived in Yanzhou.The distance from Youzhou to Yanzhou is nearly [-] li. These days, Gao Yang was very anxious. He wrote a total of three secret letters, ordered his confidantes to ride fast horses to Goguryeo, and told them to hand them over to their majesty the king. Gao Yuan, but it has been so many days, and His Majesty Gao Yuan has not given any instructions.

He had already arrived in Yanzhou, and he was about to start a battle with the Turkic people, but his messengers were like mud, and none of them responded.Gao Yang was furious, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Li Shimin.

The smart Li Shimin has already seen Gao Yang's heart. As soon as the army entered Yanzhou, a military meeting was held immediately, but this was not to discuss the military situation and ask for everyone's opinions, but to directly divide the troops and send generals to use troops against the Turks.

Li Shimin's first order was sent to Gao Yang's head: "Gao Shuai, less than a hundred miles north of Yanzhou is Baihekou, where the barracks of the Turkic army are located. Xiao Wang Suwen heard that your country's cavalry is like lightning. No one can match you, you have worked hard and led your 5 horses to raid the Turkic camp, if you can capture their Hanwang or the governor, Pingzhang, you will have made a great achievement."

Gao Yang grinned when he heard this, Li Shimin's words were soft but hard, on the surface they were in a deliberative tone, but in fact they were orders, and they also contained a strong sense of flattery, they were sugar-coated cannonballs.

"Ah... obey. It's just the commander, are you sure? The Turkic soldiers are famous for their bravery. They are good at riding and shooting, and they come and go without a trace. There is no mistake in the military situation. How many soldiers do they have in the Baihekou area? ?" Gao Yang hesitated, and asked with an excuse.

"Don't worry, commander-in-chief, the military situation is absolutely true. They are not many, only 2 horses, and this commander wants to use troops from three routes. Your speed is the first route, and there are two groups of troops on the left and right to support you. , this time let these Turkic Tartars have a hard time flying." Li Shimin said with confidence, and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, the commander-in-chief is strategizing, and the last general will take orders." Gao Yang agreed, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, and he couldn't help but admire Li Shimin's ability to obtain military information, his extraordinary courage and courage.

"Changsun Wuji, Li Yuanba?"

"The last general is here. I'm here! Second brother, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Wang Li Yuanba of the Western Mansion was impatient for a long time, and finally called himself, shouted happily, and bowed to Li Shimin with his eldest grandson Wuji.

"This commander will give you [-] elite soldiers, mainly Changsun Wuji and Yuanba as his deputy. You will go out of Yanzhou and go to Baihekou from the left to support Commander Gao. There must be no mistakes!"

"Follow the order. Obey the order!"

"Luo Cheng, Shi Danai?" Li Shimin looked at the jade-faced invincible general again.

"The last general is here. Here!" Luo Cheng and Shi Danai responded and saluted.

"This king will give you [-] elite soldiers, Luo will be the master, and Shi Danai will be the deputy. You will go out of Yanzhou and rush to Baihekou from the right to support Gao Shuai. There must be no mistakes!

"The commander-in-chief is stationed in Yanzhou with the rest of his troops, and prepares a banquet for the generals. If anyone makes a mistake, it will ruin our army's important affairs, and the military law is ruthless. Let's go!" Li Shimin said, looking at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, The two nodded slightly, and then dispersed.

Gao Yang led his 5 horses out of Yanzhou bravely, and rode their horses towards the mouth of Baihe River.Halfway through the journey, the officer under his command caught up with him and stopped his horse's head, saying: "Commander, are you really going to raid Baihekou?"
