Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 492
Pei Xingjian, the general manager of the Dingxiang Road, led an army of 30 to fight against the Eastern Turkic rebellion, and the army marched to Shuozhou.

Pei Xingjian understands that Shi Xiao Siye, chief protector of Shanyu Dadu, lost to the Turkic rebels. Apart from his own problems, the most important thing is that the army's food and grass were robbed.

Most of the soldiers died of starvation. Pei Xingjian guessed that the Turkic people would repeat the same trick and rob the Tang army's food and grass again, cutting off the Tang army's retreat.

After all, this is the only way for the Turks to defeat the Tang army.

Otherwise, with the combat power of 30 Tang troops, it would be no problem to press the Turks on the ground and rub them back and forth hundreds of times.

There is no chance of winning the head-on confrontation between the Turks and the Tang army, and there is a dead end.

If the Turks wanted to win the Tang army, they could only rob the Tang army of food and grass, cut off the Tang army's food road, and left the Tang army without food to satisfy their hunger, starving to death in Monan.

This is the only chance for the Turks to win.

The Turks understood this, and so did Pei Xingjian, so Pei Xingjian expected that the Turks would come to rob food again.

If you understand this, the next thing will be easy to handle.

"Come here!" Pei Xingjian shouted out of the tent with his heart in mind.

"What's the order from the chief executive?" The soldiers outside the tent entered and asked with a salute.

"Speech all the generals, come to the account to discuss matters!" Pei Xingjian said.

"No!" The soldiers took the order and left.

After the generals were notified, they immediately rushed to the commander's account to gather.

"I've seen the Chief Manager!" All the generals saluted Pei Xingjian.

"You don't need to be too polite! I have summoned you this time, and I have something to tell you." Pei Xingjian said.

"The chief executive has thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Li Siwen, the servant Shaoqing, asked.

"Everyone should know why Shi Xiao Siye, Minister of Honglu Temple and Chief Protector of Shanyu Dadu, was defeated by the Turks, and almost completely annihilated." Pei Xingjian asked instead of directly answering Li Siwen.

This is not nonsense!The emperor's imperial edict didn't say clearly that Xiao Siye and others had their tails raised to the sky because of a few partial victories.

So arrogant that he didn't fortify the Turkic people, so that he was killed by the Turkic people in the camp without knowing it, so he was defeated.

Everyone didn't know why Pei Xingjian said that, but someone still stood up and answered.

"This is just one of them. Xiao Siye and the others can still fight the Turkic people after clearing up the remnants of the army, so that the entire army will not be almost wiped out." Pei Xingjian said.

Everyone was stunned!
In this way, the arrogance and arrogance of Xiao Siye and others were only the objective reasons for their defeat, so what was the main reason why Xiao Siye and others were almost wiped out.

"What does the chief executive want to say? I sent 30 troops from the Tang Dynasty, divided into several groups, and responded to each other. As long as we are careful, we can completely put down the Eastern Turkic rebellion. There will be no similar problems like Xiao Siye's." Li Siwen said. .

"The Turks are nomads, and they have always lived as nomads. They can use the mobility of cavalry to move quickly, and they are familiar with the environment here. Unless we can completely defeat them, otherwise, it will be disadvantageous to our army. "Pei Xingjian said.

"Although the Turkic people are nomadic, they are not without the concept of territory. Each tribe has its own sphere of influence. Therefore, as long as we find the key points, we can completely defeat the Turkic people."

"Grassland is as important to the Turkic people as farmland is to the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely fight to the death with our army in order to protect their own grassland." Li Siwen said.

"But we don't know much about the grasslands of the Turks, the division of power among the tribes, and where there are fertile pastures."

"We can't find the Turkic nomadic garrison ranch, we can't eliminate the Turkic people at all, let alone force the Turkic people to fight our army." Pei Xingjian said.

The generals fell silent after hearing this!
What Pei Xingjian said was right at all. If they couldn't find the pastures of the East Turks, they would go around in circles with Tang Jun until they completely dragged Tang Jun down.

"The way to use troops is to appease the soldiers. Sincerity is the most important thing. To defeat the enemy, you need to use strategy first. Don't just be reckless." Pei Xingjian continued.

"The chief executive is right. I don't know that the chief executive already has a good plan to deal with the Turkic people?" Li Siwen asked.

"Before we came, the most important reason why Xiao Siye and others were defeated by the Eastern Turks was because Xiao Siye's grain transportation was robbed by the Turks, and the soldiers suffered from cold and starvation, which led to the defeat."

"The Turkic people will definitely repeat the old tricks again, then we can use our tricks and give the Turkic people a soldier who will never tire of cheating." Pei Xingjian said.

"The Chief Manager, just give orders? I'll just obey orders." Bie Jiang clasped his fists and said.

"Okay! The generals are listening!" Pei Xingjian said with a serious face.

The generals stood upright and listened to Pei Xingjian's orders.

"Our army used [-] grain carts as bait to lure the Turkic people to rob the grain and grass. Five strong men were ambushed in each cart, each armed with a sword and a crossbow."

"Hundreds of winning soldiers escorted grain carts, and ambushed elite soldiers in dangerous places. As soon as the Turks came, the winning soldiers immediately abandoned their carts and fled."

"The Turkic people will definitely pull the grain cart to a place with water and grass, and then they will unsaddle their horses and use the grain and grass they have looted."

"At this time, the strong man ambushed in the grain cart took the opportunity to jump out of the cart and killed the Turkic people by surprise." Pei Xingjian said.

After Pei Xingjian told the plan, he made a series of arrangements, arranging who would lie in ambush and where, and how to encircle and suppress the Turkic people once the grain carts were captured.

As for the strong men hidden in the grain carts, Pei Xingjian decided to select them himself to make sure nothing would go wrong.

"Are you all clear about this plan? Do you have any questions?" Pei Xingjian said.

"I'll understand!" the generals responded.

"Okay! Everyone act according to plan!" Pei Xingjian said.

All the generals clasped their fists together and saluted, exited the big tent, and went to prepare separately. Pei Xingjian was not idle, and immediately selected suitable strong men to hide in the grain cart.

The news that hundreds of soldiers from the Tang army were escorting the grain carts was quickly relayed by the Turkic scouts.

"Did you see it clearly? Tang Jun really only used the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled to escort the grain trucks? Are you sure you didn't read it wrong?" Asked Ash Dewen Fu, looking at the scouts kneeling on the ground.

"Well, I saw with my own eyes that the Tang army indeed used a group of hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled to escort the grain truck." The scout replied.

When the Turks learned about it, they were overjoyed immediately!
Serving the post was even more disdainful: "Tang people are so arrogant and arrogant. First there was Xiao Siye, and now there is such a thing as Pei Xingjian, who is even more crazy."

"It's really ridiculous to let hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled escort the grain truck. I don't know whether to say he is brave or ignorant, hahaha..."

"I heard that Pei Xingjian sent troops to attack the Western Turks in Mobei, and even beat the Western Turks so badly." A small tribal chief said.

"How can those idiots in Western Turks be compared to us, so we won't be as stupid as them."

"Now I should immediately send a troop to rob the grain. As long as we can cut off the Tang army's grain and grass supply, the Tang army's 30 troops will be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered."

"Victory will belong to our Eastern Turks. As long as we defeat the Tang army, we will not only be able to keep Monan, but also send troops to take back Mobei." Ash Dewen Fu said.
