Eight hundred and seventieth eight chapters of the trust delivered
Ouyang Xuan agreed to Liu Jiande's request and conveyed his request to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, but he did not agree to help intercede, and even directly cut off Liu Jiande's possibility of interceding with him when he spoke.
If His Highness agreed to Liu Jiande's request because of his intercession, he would not be able to accept it, no matter whether the trouble caused to His Highness in the end was big or small.
It is impossible for him to harm his Highness for others.
At the same time, he also had some affection for Liu Jiande and did not want anything to happen to him. In fact, if Liu Jiande had not been determined and this was his father's legacy, Ouyang Xuan would have refused this matter.
Relaying Liu Jiande's request to His Royal Highness Prince Yu was the best Ouyang Xuan could do.
Liu Jiande understood the meaning of Ouyang Xuan's words, but he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he said gratefully: "It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Ouyang can help convey it to His Highness."
"At that time, whether His Highness agrees or refuses, I will not have any objections."
"That's good."
Ouyang Xuan nodded slightly and accepted Liu Jiande's attitude.
Afterwards, the two began to chat without saying a word. It was not until the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield that they packed up the camp and marched towards the Windy Valley.
The purpose of stopping here was to give the Uighur tribe's pursuers a big surprise. Now that the gifts had been sent out, the army would naturally not stay in this place any longer.
After all, this is not a suitable place to camp. If an ambush from another force really takes the opportunity to attack, they will suffer unnecessary losses.
…
When Ouyang Xuan and Liu Jiande were gathering their troops and marching towards the Windy Valley, on the other side of the Windy Valley, Di Xin's army was also heading towards the Windy Valley.
Fenghua Valley is where Di Xin and Liu Jiande agreed to meet up.
After Ouyang Xuan led three thousand cavalry and left quietly, the remaining army has been marching at a normal speed. At the same time, it was also to attract attention and provide cover for Ouyang Xuan's cavalry.
Therefore, no matter how fast the three thousand cavalry led by Ouyang Xuan were, Di Xin's army would be marching slowly.
So when Ouyang Xuan's cavalry successfully merged with Liu Jiande's army, the army led by Di Xin was still not close to Fenghua Valley.
Some distance ahead of the middle section of the army was the carriage of the commander Di Xin.
Wei San drove a carriage, and inside the carriage were Di Xin and Xi Zi.
"Your Highness."
Xizi gently rubbed his temples for Di Xin, who was lying on his lap, and asked, half chatting and half seriously: "Will the Uighurs really send troops to chase him and support us as the Jiande City Commander said?
An army?”
"It's not impossible."
Di Xin closed his eyes and enjoyed Xizi's massage, and said with a smile: "Our expeditionary force is not bad in terms of strength, but the number of people is a flaw. It cannot take care of too many places at the same time. We know this, those barbarians
You can also guess the power."
"And this is the most critical factor that limits where our army can ultimately go."
"Therefore, if an additional army suddenly comes to support us at this time to solve our lack of numbers, no matter which force it is, it will not be tolerated."
"And the most intolerable ones are the Uighurs who are closest to Goguryeo."
"therefore……"
Xizi took Di Xin's words and suddenly realized: "Because if we successfully capture the capital of Goguryeo, our next target will definitely be the Uighur tribe who are closest."
"So the Uighur people most want our army to be dragged into the quagmire of Goguryeo."
"That's right."
Di Xin patted his thigh leisurely and said with a smile: "That's why the Uighur clan will definitely be unable to sit still when they discover that there is an army coming towards us in Jiande City."
"At this time, they will definitely try their best to ambush us even if they break in alone before we can join up with the reinforcements from Jiande City."
"The area between Jiande City and the Fenghua Valley is the most suitable plain for cavalry attacks, so the Uighurs will definitely choose this place."
Having said this, Di Xin couldn't help but praise Liu Jiande.
"The commander-in-chief is really a wonderful person. When he knew that he would be ambushed, he not only did not find a way to avoid it, but instead planned to take advantage of it and simply set a trap for the Uighur cavalry."
The bait was Liu Jiande himself and the eight thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry he led.
Eight thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, such a force can be a strong force in defending a city, but on a plain without obstacles, if it faces the Uighur cavalry, then it will only be a powerful force.
There will be situations where you are massacred by one side.
At this time, the only people who could save the lives of Liu Jiande and his 10,000 soldiers were the cavalry sent by Di Xin.
However, Liu Jiande only replied to Di Xin once, in which he briefly stated his plans. Due to time constraints, he did not ask Di Xin to reply again.
He chose to believe in Di Xin once.
This choice included the life and death of Liu Jiande and the 10,000 soldiers he led.
If Emperor Xin chose to ignore the letter after receiving it, then without reinforcements, Liu Jiande and his 10,000 soldiers would have no choice but to die.
Faced with King Yu, whom he had never met before, Liu Jiande was able to make such a decisive decision. Anyone who saw it could not help but marvel.
Di Xin also cooperated with Liu Jiande's courage.
From the intelligence he collected, Liu Jiande's attitude towards using troops was somewhat similar to Zhao Quanyou's nature, that is, he was a little overly cautious.
Among the intelligence, the most impressive thing was that when Liu Jiande almost killed the first Uighur warrior, he just noticed the movement of the Uighur reinforcements, even though he knew he had enough time to kill the Uighur reinforcements.
As the first warrior of Uighur, he still decisively chose to withdraw his troops.
There is more than enough defense, but not enough offense.
This is the unanimous evaluation of Liu Jiande, the commander of Jiande City, by those who saw the intelligence.
Di Xin didn't know why Liu Jiande suddenly chose such a risky tactic this time, but he decided to support his plan.
Not to mention other things, the main reason why Liu Jiande chose to send troops was the letter from Emperor Xin. If the reinforcements prepared by Liu Jiande were allowed to be chased by the Uighur cavalry, wouldn't Emperor Xin become an ungrateful villain?
And even if they retreated 10,000 steps, the Uighur cavalry did not pursue Liu Jiande, and when Emperor Xin came, they only sent a cavalry to meet Liu Jiande in advance, and there would be no loss.
Therefore, according to the plan, after Di Xin left Hucheng, he sent out three thousand cavalry according to the time agreed in Liu Jiande's plan.
To show their importance, the leader of the three thousand cavalry was Ouyang Xuan.
