Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 392 How to Disrupt the Enemy
On a slope, hundreds of horses were grazing hay here, and Xu Qing and others sat on the ground to rest for a while.Although saving the crown prince is an urgent matter, you have to cultivate your spirit to save it, right?
The general leading the Hundred Dragon Guards is called Li Yu, this is a given name and surname, the original name is unknown.At this moment, he walked up to Xu Qing and asked puzzledly: "General, why do you want us to buy white linen?"

Xu Qing glanced at Li Yu's displeased expression, and suddenly realized that red and white are taboo in this army. Red represents red wounds and bleeding, and white represents sacrifice and death. Therefore, Xu Qing's proposal made Li Yu unhappy.Xu Qing pointed to the vast plain below the hillside and asked, "Did you see that the snow on the grassland has not yet melted, and we are wearing black armor, which is tantamount to making a living target for the enemy. We wear armor on our bodies. A layer of white cloth, not only on us, but also on the horses."

Li Yu looked at the distance, and then at himself. Indeed, the black and white colors are very easy to see when put together.But Li Yu still asked: "General, can this set of white linen be useful?"

Xu Qing said bluntly: "It doesn't have much effect. Grassland people are familiar with the grassland, so it's easy to see if there is a difference, but if there is a ray of life, then there is a ray of life."

Li Yu pondered for a while, called a man and whispered a few words in his ear, the man took some brothers and went to Yingzhou City.Xu Qing nodded when he saw it. This Li Yu is not bad, and it is reasonable to go in.

Li Yu avoided the others and quietly asked Xu Qing, "General, have you ever fought?"

Xu Qing was stunned, why did he ask such a question, Li Yu thought he was a new soldier who had never fought before.Seeing Xu Qing like this, Li Yu explained: "General, I have no other intentions, but if you have never fought a war, I will let someone protect you."

Xu Qing returned: "I fought Liu Heita with King Qin in Hebei, I fought Xi cavalry in Liaodong, and I fought Goguryeo in Bohai. Do you think I have never fought?"

Li Yu looked at Xu Qing in surprise, he didn't expect that Xu Qing, who looked young, had experienced so many battles.He thought that Xu Qing was a rookie in the battlefield, and he had to cover his eyes even when he saw a murder.But now, since he knew that Xu Qing was a veteran in the battlefield, he shouldn't worry about anything when he was about to kill the enemy.

But at this time, Xu Qing said: "However, you still have to send someone to protect me. General, although I have experienced many battles, I have killed few enemies. I am not good at martial arts or archery. Send someone to guard me, and if I don't pay attention, I will lose my life."

Li Yu grunted and said, "General, did you lose the three battles you fought?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing wanted to pounce on him and call him to death, but it's a pity that his whole body was falling apart, unable to move, even if he pounced on him, he would not win.Xu Qing returned: "Naturally, Hebei won the fight against Liu Heita, don't you know? In Liaodong, I had thousands of infantry and repelled the cavalry, and I also had thousands of people, and I repelled tens of thousands of Goguryeo. Lost the battle?"

Li Yu carefully looked at Xu Qing's eyes, and couldn't see any trace of his bragging, so he asked in puzzlement: "General, since you don't know martial arts, why can you win?"

Xu Qing laughed: "Because, general, I rely on my brain to fight. Do you understand my brain? Li Yuan, no, no, no, the emperor sent me instead of the brave Su Guogong, because my brain is good."

At this moment, Li Yu saw a lot of bragging elements in Xu Qing's eyes, so he just said softly, and then asked: "General, how sure are you of attacking Xue Yantuo this time?"

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, Li Yu just asked the most uncertain thing in Xu Qing's heart.When Xu Qing came out this time, he didn't bring Anhe with him, but let Anhe stay in Chang'an to protect his family. Although the Dragon Guards were elite soldiers under Li Yuan, Xu Qing didn't know how strong and capable they were. After all, it is not as good as the team trained by myself.

In Xu Qing's hands, there were only 100 men, while Xue Yantuo had tens of thousands of cavalry.With such a big gap, I don't know if Xu Qing's little tricks will still work.Although you have a gun in your hand, how many people can the gun kill?Although the Centuries can form a three-line formation, it won't work.

The only useful thing Xu Qing could think of was beheading. As long as Xue Yantuo Khan was assassinated, the other leaders under him would definitely fight among themselves.Even if there is no internal fighting, there is no way to trust each other. In this way, Xu Qing can contact the prince and contact the large troops behind to attack together.Xue Yantuo's various ministries could not trust each other, so they must withdraw their troops, and the siege of the prince would be resolved.Xu Qing was done with great success. As for the extermination of Xue Yantuo, it was not Xu Qing's job to do.

Beheading, you have to know where the enemy's head is.Xu Qing said slowly: "Xue Yantuo looks like a cow, and we are as small as nails. If you can pierce a hole in the hoof of the cow, the cow will definitely fall down in pain, but how to pierce the hoof of the cow is a difficult problem."

Li Yu was deeply convinced after hearing this, so he asked: "What does the general think this cow's hoof is, and he will find a way to get in in the future."

Xu Qing glanced at him and said, "You can have Xue Yantuo's map, I want to know where Zhenzhu Khan's tooth tent is."

"General, do you mean..." Li Yu seemed to have guessed what Xu Qing meant, and hurriedly took out a bamboo tube, and took out a piece of parchment from it.But seeing the landscape fortress painted on it, Li Yu pointed out with his hand: "This is Baima Mountain, which is the place where the prince was besieged. Zhenzhu Khan's tooth tent is here, but now I don't know that Zhenzhu Khan himself is actually a tooth tent." It's still in Baima Mountain."

When Xu Qing looked around, he saw that there were only four or five counties between Yazhang and Baima Mountain.This is troublesome, soldiers are expensive and fast, if Xu Qing misses it by the side, it will be a mistake that will last forever.Xu Qing thought about it for a while, thinking that the soldiers brought by the crown prince were among the most elite in the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Yantuo had to get a lot of troops to besiege him.According to the habits of grassland people, how could Zhenzhu Khan hand over this heavy army to others?

In addition, the crown prince was surrounded by Baima Mountain, even if Zhenzhu Khan was not there, Xu Qing could think of other ways.And if Xu Qing went to the tooth tent and found out that Khan was not there, then the chance of rescuing him would be slim.

After thinking about this, Xu Qing said to Li Yu: "When the white linen cloth is bought back later, ask everyone to wear it, and then a group of five, break it up into parts, and go around Baima Mountain to find Zhenzhu Khan's tent."

Li Yu cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

Immediately, Li Yu asked again: "General, don't you need someone to protect you?"

"Uh," Xu Qing wondered, why did he bring this up again, and then added: "There is no need for special protection. It is enough for you to bring five people with me, and Xue Rengui is by my side. The fewer people there are, the safer you are. Tell me For the rest, detectives are the most important thing, don’t mess with Xue Yantuo’s people. Also tell them where to gather.”
