The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"The general raised his account..."

On the third day after the negotiation, the two generals convened again for discussion.

In the past, when summoning generals, Li Xiang always stood at the back of the crowd. After all, he was a newcomer on the battlefield. There was no need to move forward, which would make many people feel disgusted. However, now everyone naturally stood in the front row to give. Li Xiang reserved a seat.

There is such a tradition in the army. Everyone respects the strong. As long as you can show your ability on the battlefield, then there will be a place for you in the military camp. If it depends on your identity, even if everyone gives you You have a place, but there is no place in your heart.

During the previous few meetings to raise the account, Jin Wang Li Zhi wanted to stand at the front. Although everyone gave in to him, did anyone respect him?

Nowadays, Li Xiang has gained everyone's respect by relying on his own ability. When he is standing in the front row, others are not dissatisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can take your people out and do it too. Make a raid and see if you can harvest two sacks of human ears. If not, then just stand back.

"My generals, we have had some discussions with Tuyuhun, but the results of the discussions are not optimistic. We have come here today to hear your suggestions. The army will be stationed here for one day, and it will cost 80,000 yuan a day. If you don't have enough money, the court won't be able to support it for long."

General Qin Qiong said helplessly, although it had only been three days, the quartermaster had already come several times. Although the court was determined to fight this battle, if it continued like this, I am afraid the civil servants within the court would have something to say. .

"General, I think the battle should be decided quickly, so we sent scouts to search for the main force of Tuyuhun..."

The generals present were also full of fighting spirit. They did not want to stay in Liangzhou City, but it was not easy to find Tuyuhun's main force on such a huge grassland.

One after another, generals came out to express their opinions, but most of them were clichés, which were easier said than done. Based on the current actual situation, it is not so easy to win a decisive battle, and if the operation is not good, we may fall into The result is irreversible.

"Report to the general, urgent report before the army..."

Just when everyone was discussing the matter, a red feather emergency message suddenly appeared at the door...

In just one cup of tea, Tuyuhun's army was discovered in three cities, and these people began to play their tricks.

In the past battles, the Tuyuhun army fought like this. They divided their troops into several areas, and then attacked several cities on the border of the Tang Dynasty. In one day, wars broke out everywhere, giving the common people on the border of the Tang Dynasty a false impression. , that is, they Tuyuhun had the ability to attack all the border cities, so that the Tang army had to divide its troops to guard it. In the end, it weakened its own strength and could not accomplish anything.

Although this method is old-fashioned, it is very useful for the Tang army. Li Shimin is so happy that no city on the border is lost. The generals below also understand Li Shimin's thoughts, so even if they know that dividing their troops to guard major cities is a wrong approach, But we have to go this way.

A month or two later, Tuyuhun did not attack any city, but he exhausted the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would have to send a special envoy to conclude a new agreement with Tuyuhun. Although it would not cede territory and pay compensation, it would want to teach a lesson. Tuyuhun also let it go.

General Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin both understood this, but at this moment they looked at each other. They still had to divide their troops and let their generals live in various cities. Maybe this time the conquest would be fruitless.

"General, wait a moment, I have something to say."

General Qin Qiong was unwilling to issue this order, but if the strength of each city was not strengthened, if Tuyuhun actually captured a certain city, Datang would be embarrassed by then. Just when he was about to issue the order. When giving the order, Li Xiang stood up from the side.

"Li Shen will tell you what he has to say."

After these days of getting along, the two generals also realized that Li Xiang was not the kind of person who talks on paper. Either this kid doesn't speak, or when he speaks, he will definitely bring new changes to them.

"If the general divides his troops, it will repeat the previous results. We will end up wasting people and money. Not only will we not be able to teach Tuyuhun a lesson, but we will also return to Chang'an in despair. Therefore, the general believes that we must make changes, otherwise we will not be able to change Southwest Everything on the border.”

Li Xiang's words made everyone present nodded, but some people were not convinced, such as Li Zhi who was standing next to him.

"The general asked you to talk about the method, not to talk about this here. If you want to talk about this, do you still need to talk about it? Don't the local magistrates understand?"

Li Zhi said in a weird voice, Li Xiang now feels that this guy has been reincarnated by Li Tai. He was more or less measured when he was in Chang'an City. Why did he become like this after he got here?

Others also have this illusion. In fact, this is normal. When Li Zhi was in Chang'an City, he still had a sense of strategizing, but after he came to the front line, he was directly defeated by Li Xiang. In addition, his men were defeated by Li Xiang. All the phenomena have been cleared, and it is normal to be irrational for a while.

"If you have a plan to defeat the enemy, just tell it. Since no one will punish you, let's discuss it together."

Cheng Yaojin didn't take care of Li Zhi because he knew that this guy had no ability other than internal fighting.

"General, if you think about it, they can attack our city everywhere just to create chaos for us, so can we do the opposite? Just like that night, in fact, we already defeated them that night. Seven inches, if we continue to attack in this way, they will be in chaos sooner or later."

Li Xiang's method is very simple, that is to take the initiative. We can rely on this method to force them to the negotiating table, but the losses we cause them are too small, so we cannot reach an agreement. But if we continue to do this, It will definitely change the current situation.

"You are just talking on paper. What if our elites are all empty in the rear and they take over our city? Are you going to give an explanation to my father?"

Li Zhi's words instantly brought everyone back to reality. Although what Li Xiang said was very tempting, if a border city was lost, it would be the loss of land. According to the regulations of the imperial court, one would have to be beheaded in public at that time. …
