Li Shimin thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Since Du Qi will not send troops, can we send some troops back to the country to wipe out the bandits everywhere. Wait until Du Qi really wants to attack, and then send troops back."
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is actually not appropriate. It is not easy to maintain our food, grass, money, etc. for a long time. Since the arrest of merchants from the Xia Kingdom, taxes have continued to drop, and because of the continuous wars over the years, The national treasury is depleted, and the grains in many granaries are also consumed."
Wei Zheng echoed: "Besides, there is chaos in various places now. It is not easy to collect food from various places. The situation is very unfavorable to us. Once there is a long delay, we are likely to be the first to be unable to survive. In addition to the border, because we need to The troops preparing to withdraw to the border suppress the chaos, and there will be no troops at the border for a long time, and the border will also be a troublesome matter."
Li Shimin clenched his fists when he heard the words, and punched the city wall with one fist, with an expression of resentment on his face.
Damn it!
It's such a difficult situation again.
Li Shimin can be sure that once his army withdraws, Du Qi's army will definitely attack and attack Longzhou. When Du Qi's army entered Longzhou and intervened in Gyeonggi Province, it would threaten the safety of Chang'an even more, so Li Shimin was in a dilemma again.
Du Qi's hand, as if hitting a snake seven inches, directly pinched Li Shimin's lifeline.
Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, he flicked his sleeves, and ordered: "Since this is the case, we will take the initiative to send troops to Longzhou to attack Du Qi's camp. I don't believe that our 150,000 troops will still be like this in Changbaipo That way. The army rests for a day, and we will send troops."
Li Shimin gave the order directly.
When everyone heard the words, they went to prepare separately.
The army was resting, and Li Shimin wandered around Anrong Pass for the time being. He called Zhu Zhi, the general of Anrong Pass, and said again: "Zhu Zhi, think again, what news about Du Qi of Xia Kingdom. Some, but not necessarily comprehensive. Right now, you recall all his news to see if there is anything you missed. What if you missed something, maybe it will be beneficial for us to march?"
? This is Li Shimin checking for omissions and filling in vacancies.
Hope to have a chance.
Zhu Zhi is not tall, and his figure is a little thin. He is extremely careful in doing things. He thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if you want to say that the news that I reported first, the omission, it should be that after Du Qi's army arrived at the border, in fact, there is a chance that Du Qi's army will be able to reach Anrong Pass. Yes. Because outside the Anrong Pass, there was no fortification, nor was there an army guarding it, but Du Qi just stationed at the border and did nothing else."
Li Shimin's cheeks twitched.
This is tantamount to talking in vain.
no value.
Li Shimin said: "There is nothing else?"
Zhu Zhi thought for a while and said: "The other thing is, the general situation of Du Qi's army camping, and the environment near the Xia Guo barracks on the border, I arranged for soldiers to inquire clearly. However, this information should not be of much use, after all, Du Qi is For the guarding side, we know or don¡¯t know the situation of the other party¡¯s camp, so it¡¯s not of much value.¡±
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said: "How can it be worthless, it's very useful."
"Quick, get the topographic map immediately."
Li Shimin gave an order.
Zhu Zhi immediately turned around to get the topographic map he had drawn, which recorded the position of Du Qi's army, and also marked the specific situation around the camp, clearly marking the mountains, rivers, and terrain.
Li Shimin took it over to check, and he saw that the location of Du Qi's camp was not on a hillside, but in an open and open place. Such a location is not easy to be ambushed, but the disadvantage is that it loses the commanding heights and has no defensive area.
Li Shimin looked a little excited.
In the battle of Changbaipo, because Du Qi occupied a favorable position on the front line of Changbaipo, Li Shimin spent a lot of energy and lost countless troops to attack Changbaipo, but he never captured Changbaipo in the end.
The reason why it has never been conquered is that Xia Guo's artillery is powerful, and the soldiers dare to fight and kill. On the other hand, Changbaipo is a highland. Even though this highland is not particularly steep, Du Qi dug trenches on the hillside in advance and deployed weapons. Qi's line of defense caused Li Shimin to suffer a lot when he attacked Changbaipo.
Now it is different.
The area around Du Qi is flat, so they have a chance to win and can directly push Du Qi's camp.
Li Shimin looked up at Zhu Zhi and said, "Zhu Zhi, your news is very timely. If we arrive at the borderenvironment, it is very likely that it will not be timely to inquire about the news again. Now that we know, we can plan ahead and arrange things well in advance. You have done a great job. "
Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: "I don't dare to take credit, but I just did my duty."
Li Shimin waved his hand to make Zhu Zhi retreat, and immediately called Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. After explaining the layout of Du Qi's camp on the border, he said, "There is no jungle or hillside around Du Qi's camp this time. , is an open grassland. Such an area has little effect on us, and we cannot build fortifications."
"So I think this situation is an excellent opportunity for us to attack. My plan is to mobilize Zhu Zhi's troops guarding Anrong Pass together. There are more than 10,000 elites in Zhu Zhi's Anrong Pass, plus our ten There are more than 50,000 people, a total of more than 160,000 and nearly 170,000 troops."
"This army has a huge number of people."
"Take advantage of the number of people."
"After our army arrived at the border, we directly divided into eight groups and launched an attack from the east, south, west, and north quarters of Du Qi's camp, as well as the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest quarters. Each of the There are 20,000 troops in total."
"A total of 160,000 people attacked."
Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he said: "I don't believe that the eight forces are attacking. Du Qi's line of defense can be stretched so long. Du Qi's gunpowder, cannons and other weapons cannot be bombed and stop our forces. Once our If the army enters, Du Qi will definitely be defeated. Du Qi's strength is not comparable to ours. In the end, Du Qi must be the first to lose. In a word, if Du Qi does not occupy a favorable terrain for defense, and fights hand-to-hand with us, that is Defeat."
Li Shimin at this moment was quite excited.
In his speech and demeanor, he has the momentum of pointing out the country, and he is full of ambition.
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, but there are still some specific details that need to be added."
Immediately, Fang Xuanling raised some detailed questions.
After Li Shimin listened to it, he also put forward his own opinion, and together with Fang Xuanling checked the omissions and made up for the vacancies, perfected all the problems, and finally decided on the offensive strategy. At this time, Li Shimin was resurrected with full blood and fighting spirit. He wanted to compete with Du Qi again, and even more so, he wanted to completely defeat Du Qi.
