For people like Yu Shinan, Li Ji, Yin Qiao, and Duan Zhixuan.
If the Forbidden Army had a formal battle with Tuyuhun and both sides started to bleed, the information would arrive.
There is nothing to say. Your Majesty’s order is everything. It is important to save the people, but how can we save as many people as possible?
This cannot be solved simply by saying it is solved, or it can be done by saying it is done, so it must obey the overall strategy.
And now the question.
It's a battle, it hasn't started yet.
In other words, if the imperial army changes its route at this time - for example, if it goes east to the original territory of Goguryeo, Baishan and Blackwater, and has a meal with Zhang Liang, the guard guarding Baishan and Blackwater, nothing will happen.
Anyway, on Tuyuhun's side, the army moved in but did not encounter the enemy's army immediately, which shows that the opponent still has strong fears... Taking the initiative to attack when the Tang army was not online was a good measure for Tuyuhun.
Quite risky.
So……
In short, it means that the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty are not in a state of being unable to leave, they can leave...
This is tantamount to posing a problem for Yu Shinan and others.
Isn't this a joke? Youdao has been working hard for a long time, but it has been exhausted again and again. When the forbidden army came out, they were very brave and vigorous. They promised to crush the little brats in Tuyuhun, but now they have to change their way to another place.
Although it is also a battle against an enemy country and an enemy army, changing the path like this...
After all, the military is a kind of job for most Forbidden Soldiers, and no employee would like the boss to change the target every day like a disease. Everyone still likes to clear a project in a simple and crude way.
The same applies to the military, and the damage to morale is definitely no joke.
But then again...
Yu Shinan, Duan Zhixuan, Yin Qiao, Li Ji and the others discussed it and after much deliberation, they decided that the forbidden troops still had to go back.
After all, the defense of Lingzhou City is now empty, and the people are exposed. If you rush back as soon as possible, you can immediately catch the Tubo offensive. If they wait for a long time, local resistance forces emerge in Lingzhou, which will be troublesome. It will not happen in the future.
Know how to deploy and handle this kind of military power.
So soon, the command team took the team back.
So a very rare scene occurred in the career of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty. The army went out without doing anything. After strolling around for a while, they just pressed b and returned to the city...
Of course, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you insist on saying this kind of thing.
After all, the Western Han Dynasty was so powerful back then, and it also encountered the Mayi Incident. It has been passed down to this day and still makes the warriors of the Tang Dynasty unable to help laughing after reading the records.
Compared with this, in addition to the morale of the Imperial Army being damaged due to the torment, Yu Shinan and others were also made a little irritable.
The terror deterrence that had been used to kill the Turks before was still ineffective. This was mainly because His Majesty was busy with other things at the time and did not have time to clean up the entire Western Region. The key was that the terror was ineffective when it was ineffective. There are still other things in this mess
Several people... come to mess with you at the same time from time to time, which is very annoying.
If you engage in one way, the other will cause chaos; if you engage in the other, trouble will occur in the other.
And people also have reasons to say, after all, the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty were so fierce that they killed Tuyuhun, so we are afraid, so we have to protect each other. Is this reasonable?...
Although no direct messenger came to say this to his face, Yu Shinan could guess that this was probably what the rules of the world in Mobei were like.
So the next step...
Leaving aside the question of whether to attack Tuyuhun or to attack Tubo, we must first explain the mutual protection of the armies on the opposite side.
This matter is unclear. Whether the army goes to fight Tubo, which has delayed the old man from going to the wild, or Tuyuhun, who came to stroke the tiger's beard some time ago, the army will definitely not be happy.
Just a discussion...
"It seems there is no good plan..."
Yin Qiao has always been known among the people for his thorough knowledge of the city and his deep thinking, but this time he couldn't help but look sad all night.
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Yin Qiao. This statement was indeed a bit detrimental to one's own ambition and inflated the prestige of others.
But you can understand it if you think about it carefully.
Tuyuhun's troops numbered over one million, while Tubo's numbered around six to seven hundred thousand.
This is something that everyone in Lingzhou has repeatedly confirmed through various channels of businessmen and bartenders during this period.
Although it may not be accurate, and the bartender sometimes has no bottom line when it comes to bragging.
However, everyone’s information did not come from a specific bartender, but from repeated inquiries and verifications. And...
Based on what His Majesty in Chang'an obtained from the maritime trade direction of the South China Sea about Rome's current unfathomable strength, the assistance given to Tibet and Tuyuhun must not be small.
The current situation is that Tuyuhun was originally a big force that should not be underestimated - considering that this country is also a Xianbei country, but it can compete with Goguryeo for a long time, its strength is no joke, and it has a standing army of hundreds of thousands. Who is not afraid of it?
And the Tubo people are not fooling around in vain. Although these barbarians live in strange conditions in the mountains and even suffer from strange diseases when the Han people go there, the elites among them are as strong as cattle and are really difficult to deal with.
Not to mention the elite and difficult-to-defeat parts, the total strength is still two to three hundred thousand.
Recently, due to the power of Rome, both of these guys have been greatly improved, and the size of the standing army has been greatly expanded, so in the end, a situation that was not easy to handle appeared before the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, this expansion of the standing army is actually a major reason why the original terrorist deterrence to destroy the Turks failed.
But these are not important. There is only one important thing, and that is what everyone should do now.
Both Tuyuhun and Tubo have strong military strength. In this case, how should the army be mobilized?
Of course, if these two guys are ridiculously strong, then there is nothing to say. Just go for it and fight to death regardless of the cost. But the problem is...these two guys are not working together.
, but divided in two directions.
Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for Datang to fight them, because there must be a direction, and the people would suffer.
Whether to choose to let the people in the northeast of Lingzhou suffer or the people in the west is an undecidable question for Yu Shinan and others, and if you want to ask your Majesty...
This is undoubtedly a humiliation for them. His Majesty's order is to clean up the forces in the Western Region. How to clean up the specific forces is up to Your Majesty. It is impossible for you generals to arrange it.
