Chapter 158 One-hit victory
Li Zhen joined forces with Xue Wanche and Zhang Jian and massacred the elite troops of Xue Yantuo led by La Mang.
In this battle, more than 10,000 people were beheaded and 30,000 prisoners were taken. Xue Yantuo's elite troops led by Yan Mang were almost completely lost.
Moreover, Xue Wanche and Zhang Jian also brought good news. The leader of the Xi tribe, Ke Duzhe, and the leader of the Khitan, Dahe Kuge, each led an army of 50,000 to help in the battle. Their forwards had entered Xue Yantuo's territory and were marching towards Baidaochuan. They have defeated more than a dozen small tribes of Xue Yantuo.
Li Zhen nodded and said to Xue Wanche and Zhang Jian: "In that case, we can proceed slowly."
Xue Wanche was stunned and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, all the armies are trying to rush to Baidaochuan as soon as possible and defeat Xue Yantuo. Why do our armies have to slow down? If they fall behind the Khitans and Xi people, I'm afraid they will be killed by them. A shame."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "On the surface, we have to move slowly, but this is just to paralyze Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan."
"Although Lamang is newly defeated, Yi Nan still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. Our army only has more than 20,000 troops. If we attack directly, we will inevitably suffer losses. Therefore, driving away tigers and devouring wolves is the best strategy."
"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf? Your Majesty means to let the Xi people and Khitan people fight Xue Yantuo first?"
"Yes, this time, the emperor promised Xi Ren and the Khitans that if Xue Yantuo is eliminated, the thousands of miles of land bordering Xue Yantuo and the two tribes will be given to them, but the premise is that the two tribes need to occupy it themselves. As much as they can occupy, they have to How much, I, the Tang Dynasty, will never interfere."
"Because of this, Xi Ren and the Khitans are working so hard. However, if they fight hard, they will definitely attract Yi Nan's attention. If our army advances slowly at this time, Yi Nan will use the main force to deal with Xi People and Khitans.¡±
"It's best to wait until they are both injured before our army launches a surprise attack on Yi Nan's headquarters. In this way, Xue Yantuo can be defeated in one battle."
Xue Wanche couldn't help but take a breath after listening to Li Zhen's words. He thought that the King of Yue was powerful, but now it seems that it is so. He easily plotted Xue Yantuo, Xi Ren, and Khitan people.
Zhang Jian was an old acquaintance and subordinate of Li Zhen, but he had some doubts in his heart and said kindly: "Your Majesty, in this way, the West Route Army may come in front of us."
Li Zhen nodded. Li Zhen believed that Li Daozong, Ashina Sheer, and Qibi Heli were all capable generals, but they were all veterans and lacked vigor. Their fighting habits were not to win by surprise, but to be steady and stable. The West Route Army has one biggest weakness.
That is their commander-in-chief Li Ke. Although Li Ke is heroic, he has no actual combat experience. Everything is just talk on paper, and he may not be able to twist the main forces of the Tang army into a single rope.
The people of Xueyantuo can dominate the grassland, they definitely have their own abilities, and they will not be defeated so easily.
" Moreover, if the Xue Yantuo people know that they are attacking themselves, they will definitely attack Li Ke. With Li Ke's ability, even if Li Daozong is there, he may not be able to stop the Xue Yantuo people's attack.
Therefore, the West Route Army will never rush to attack Xue Yantuo. Whether Li Ke can protect himself is unknown.
What you have to do is wait for the time, and you will win with one blow!
Zuowei General Ashina Sheer is a Turk. He was originally an Eastern Turk and a general under Jieli Khan. He always advised Jieli Khan to have good relations with the Tang Dynasty.
It is a pity that Jieli Khan did not listen, which eventually led to the collapse of the Eastern Turks under the attack of Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Ashina Sheer led his troops to the Western Turks, captured half of the Western Turks' territory, and gathered an army of 100,000. In order to avenge the Eastern Turks, he sent troops to attack Xue Yantuo. After the defeat, he led the remaining troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Ashina Sheer followed Hou Junji to destroy Gaochang. Because he did not take any property, Li Shimin was very satisfied with him. He gave him a sword and appointed him as the general of Zuowei.
This time, Ashina Sheer led his troops out to join the army of Li Ke and Li Daozong. As he was marching, he saw several horses galloping towards him from a distance.
Ashina Sheer took a closer look and saw that the person riding the horse at the front was none other than Li Daozong, the King of Jiangxia!
Li Daozong is also considered a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but now he is in a miserable state, covered in blood, and only half of the sword in his hand is left. It is obvious that he has just gone through a bloody battle.
Ashina Sheer was shocked when he saw it, and quickly brought people to pick up Li Daozong.
"Old Prince, what's wrong with you?" Ashishenaer asked.
"Quick! Save King Wu!" Li Daozong fell off his horse.
Ashshenar will support Li Daozong? At that moment, Li Daozong told him that he and Li Ke were attacked by Xue Yantuo people and Li Ke was captured.
Ashishenaer was shocked.
"The capture of a country's prince is definitely a big deal and will greatly dampen one's own morale. Ashshenar said: "King Wu must be rescued immediately!"
Li Daozong shook his head and said, "It's too late. Xue Yantuo has a strong army, and the general Ba Zhuo is very cunning. He must have a back-up plan. If we rush forward now, we will be ambushed by Xue Yantuo's people."
"But the King of Wu fell into the hands of the Xue Yantuo people. What should we do?"
"The people of Xue Yantuo will not harm the King of Wu. As long as our army can defeat Xue Yantuo, we will be able to rescue His Highness the King of Wu."
"Well, that's all we have to do." Li Daozong sighed.
Although Li Daozong and Ashishena'er are famous generals, they may have fought too many battles and lacked aggressiveness. They often only faced off head-on, and rarely took risks to win. In their view, as long as a few Tang armies united, they would be defeated. Together with the Xi people, the Khitans, and the Turks, we can definitely win the final victory.
As long as this battle is won, the King of Wu Li Ke can be rescued or brought back through negotiation. It is precisely because of this maturity that they missed an opportunity to rescue the King of Wu Li Ke
Chang'an, Changsun Wuji's Mansion.
During the second Xuanwumen Incident, after Changsun Wuji¡¯s mansion was burned down, Changsun Wuji rebuilt Changsun¡¯s Mansion, and the scale was much larger than before.
In Changsun Wu¡¯s view, the size of the mansion symbolizes power and status.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was sitting in the secret room, and Changsun Yan was standing beside him.
Changsun Wuji asked: "How are things going?"
Changsun Yan chuckled, nodded and said, "Everything is going according to plan, but there were some minor mistakes."
"Huh? What's going on?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"Li Ke had already fallen into the trap and was captured alive by Xue Yantuo's Ba Zhuo, but Li Zhen Unexpectedly, Li Zhen actually defeated Xue Yantuo's army, and almost all of Yan Mang's army was wiped out."
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Tens of thousands of people couldn't defeat Li Zhen and four or five thousand troops. These Xue Yantuo people are really useless!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
