When he was about to leave, Li Wucai said cautiously, "And...the princess said...it's very inconvenient that there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the mansion. She would like to ask the Supreme Lord to send two imperial doctors to go there regularly."
Stop, look..."
Li Po raised his head and looked at him, and thought to himself, are you addicted to being a Sima Dang for others? You are still in the middle of delivering messages to others, do you need to deliver the message? The queen heard about this, will you be able to benefit from it?
You're not smart enough, don't go to Liangzhou and come back ruined...
There is still a shortage of doctors and medicines, and an imperial doctor is stationed permanently. Where is that place, and I have to send medicine and send people? Why haven't we seen each other for several years, and he is as good as Li Er?
Thinking of this, he waved his hands angrily, as if to shoo away flies, "Go and take up the post now, you really have a lot to worry about."
Li Wu smiled awkwardly, feeling greatly relieved. He, Li Wu, had passed on the so-called loyalty to others. Whether the Supreme Sect would send someone there or not would be a matter between them.
Already.
"Then I'm going to bid farewell to the Queen. I'll be leaving tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm going to Liangzhou now. I don't know when I'll be back. I hope your Majesty will take care of you."
After saying this, Li Wu hit his chest hard twice before resigning.
.........
After Li Wu left, Li Po felt a little depressed. After a little relief, he returned to normal. After all, he had experienced too many partings.
And he still has a lot of things waiting for him to do.
The battle report from Shuzhong has arrived again. Zhang Lun and Yuwen Huo attacked Jianmen, but suffered a setback in the first battle.
Guarding the Jianmen Gate was General Pang Qingyun, the Duke of Anhua County and one of the founding heroes of the Puppet Tang Dynasty. He followed Li Yuan south to Chang'an and started his career, conquering Xue Ju, and later joined the army with Chai Shao, Liu Hongji and others.
Shu is an authentic party of the King of Qin, and has good relations with Chai Shao, Liu Hongji and others.
Jianmen Pass is one of the most dangerous places in the world. The ancient Jian Pavilion included a narrow passage upwards for more than thirty miles, with a pass in the middle that ran across it, which is Jianmen Pass.
This is not a place that can be conquered by relying on large numbers of people. Pang Qingyun used thousands of people to securely defend Jianmen Pass. Zhang Lun and Yuwen Huo could only stare blankly when they attacked such an important pass for the first time.
.
After several days of strong attack, only a thousand soldiers were injured. Neither the ability of the army to attack and defend in large groups nor the strengths of the elite soldiers could be demonstrated. We could only watch and sigh.
The battle lasted for several days, and the rain came again, so they had to retreat to Miangu to rest and recuperate. The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for them, because November and February were the coldest months in Sichuan, and the northern troops they led
The soldiers can still hold on now, but in another month, it will be uncertain.
If they were forced to move forward, even if a large number of soldiers did not fall ill, their combat strength would probably be only half.
Yuwen Huo thought of the story of Deng Ai and wanted to go to Yinping Road to see if there was any chance, but was stopped by Li Jing with a wry smile. Since Deng Ai, so many famous ministers and generals have fought in Shu, but no one has gone to Yinping Road.
Trail, why?
It's just because Deng Ai's surprise attack back then was a typical example of accomplishing great things with a small number of soldiers. The meaning of surprise attack is that as long as people are prepared, just like the Yinping Trail, they will kill as many people as they come, without any ambiguity.
So the latest battle situation in Sichuan is like this. Jianmen is the throat of Sichuan. If you can't attack it, there's nothing you can do.
Li Po has also been leading troops for many years, so of course he knows what to do at this time. It is the most taboo thing to rebuke the incompetence of the generals at the front. Unless there are some special circumstances that need to inspire the fighting spirit of the leading generals, otherwise it will only be bad.
So after receiving the battle report, he sent a letter to Zhang Lun and Yuwen Huo, comforting them not to be impatient. It would be extremely difficult for the army to fight in the middle of Shu. If the people leading the army are still eager for success, they will eventually be killed.
Take advantage of the enemy.
Li Po didn't say anything else.
In fact, there were many things he didn't say, because in his opinion, it was not unacceptable for the Battle of Shuzhong to drag on for a year and a half. The army had already entered Jianmen in such a short period of time, and half of it was
With Shu in control, it should be Li Xiaogong who is anxious, not Li Po.
Moreover, it is said that Jiange Gate can only be blocked by one man, but no one can open it. But over the years, people have come and gone. How many times has Jianmen Pass blocked the cold wind? Who has it blocked from the wind and rain?
So, although the Jiange Tower is majestic and majestic, it can block the troops, but it cannot stop the unpredictable people... The same is true of the Jiange Tower, and the same is true of Tongguan. Each of the famous gates in the world has a great reputation, but it can be stepped on again and again.
It is they who are under my feet.
There is no need to say these words to the generals in front of the army. If you say it, they will be relieved and they may really spend the New Year in Miangu. That is not possible.
If we can capture the entire Bashu within this year, we will not miss the farming season next year... Furthermore, Li Xiaogong has already surrendered to Xiao Xian, so once the war is delayed until next year, there may be changes.
The consideration of the overall situation of the world, as well as local strategies and tactics, has not only been lingering in Li Po's mind for a long time, but he has also summoned his ministers to discuss it many times.
The progress of the war in Shu will greatly affect the formulation of next year's strategy.
If Bashu can be slightly pacified this year, then the goal next year will be very clear, to attack Xiao Mian first... This Jiangnan king has been arrogant for a long time, and it's time to let him know how strong the wind in the north is.
To prevent him from sending any more disgusting letters.
If there is no progress in the war in central Shu, next year's strategy may be to let Xiao Mian enter Henan, and then compete with Dou Jiande and Xiao Mian in Henan.
It will be a bit difficult at that time. After all, the central Shu is undecided, which will restrain the Tang army's strength and energy to a certain extent. It is equivalent to fighting on two sides. It will be bad if the Turks in the northwest make any changes again.
Thinking of this, Li Po was also heartbroken. Next year he would have to act based on the Turks' faces. It would really be a shame.
But this guy just couldn't help but think, maybe Li Po replaced Li Er and became God's illegitimate son, or maybe it's because this guy is so supernatural, who knows...
.....................................
In the middle of October of the first year of Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty, there was a heavy snowfall in Lingwu.
Liang Shidu was not idle this year. Due to Li Yuan's defeat, Li Daozong's power in guarding Ling Prefecture was greatly reduced. Some local defenders defected to Liang Shidu because they had no foreign aid.
Master Liang felt that his strength had greatly increased, and he was determined to pull out the nail that had been stuck in his flesh for many years, Li Daozong, so he marched into Lingzhou in three directions from Jiuyuan, Baichi, and Mingsha, hoping to eliminate the troubles of his henchmen in one fell swoop.
But his ambition is too big, and it is not commensurate with his ability. Such a grand north-south march plan requires very high strategic literacy.
The Liang Kingdom in the northwest and the Liang Kingdom in the south are separated by 100 meters, and their customs and customs are very different. However, they have one thing in common, and they both have a relatively confident leader.
This year, the Liang Kingdom in the northwest became cold, and Liang Shidu's three-way march plan was also cold before autumn.
Li Daozong actually didn't know that three armies were about to encircle Lingzhou. He only knew that there were changes in Baichi and Mingsha, and he had just received the news of Li Yuan's defeat. He knew that people's hearts were floating, and if he couldn't win, he would die without a burial place.
, after all, he and Master Liang have often had enemies over the years.
So Li Daozong acted fiercely and gathered all his cavalrymen, more than 800 of them, led by him personally, and charged straight at Mingsha to attack the enemy.
After only half a day, they met the enemy from Mingsha. The enemy was caught off guard and defeated them, beheading more than a thousand people. He Sui, the governor of Gaolan who had just surrendered to the Liang division, was beheaded.
After that, they did not gather the surrender, so they immediately turned around and ran towards Baichi. At noon the next day, when Liang Shidu's younger brother Liang Luoren was setting up camp and preparing to have a meal, Li Daozong led his army on horseback and defeated him in a battle.
Liang Luoren was defeated and fled back to Baichi, not daring to show his face again.
In other words, Jiuyuan's army has almost not mobilized yet, and they have been defeated one after another. This year's war has ended in a muddle.
Master Liang was waiting in Anle for the news of the victory of the armies. Unexpectedly, he heard such bad news one after another. In addition to cursing everyone for their incompetence, Master Liang even had the idea of leaving Anle and running away.
Because everyone tried to exaggerate the enemy's strength, Master Liang had the illusion that Li Daozong had always been afraid of the Turks and did not care about him seriously. If the enemy took advantage of the victory to catch him in peace, he would really not be able to handle it.
In other words, when Jieli Khan Ashina Qiuluo led his army to Shuofang, the Liang divisions were all trembling in Anle. When the Turkic masters arrived, the Liang divisions immediately resurrected on the spot with full health.
It's just that he suffered heavy losses this year and couldn't follow his master to fight. Especially when he heard that he was going to compete with Li Ding'an, he backed down at first.
Li Ding'an was so powerful that it was too late for him to make friends... But he was also surprised, didn't Li Ding'an marry a Turkic princess? Why did he provoke the Turks again and bring so many soldiers and horses to settle accounts with him?
It seems that you have offended someone seriously. The princess you married was not stolen, right? If so, I really want to give you a thumbs up and say "admiration".
When gods fight, Master Liang doesn't want to get involved. He has been drooling over Lingzhou for these years, and it has almost become his obsession.
Li Ding'an is indeed not someone to be trifled with. Jieli Khan Ashina Qiuluo brought people back just as he brought them there. Although the Turks would definitely not explain to others what problems they encountered, more than 30,000 people came.
How could the news be hidden when Master Liang was spending the winter?
Within a few days, Master Liang knew the cause and effect. He was secretly glad that he was indeed the destined emperor and could predict events like a god. Otherwise, the troops sent there would have been in vain and he would have offended a powerful neighbor like Li Ding'an. Why would he bother to come?
The arrival of more than 30,000 Turkic troops gave Master Liang the illusion that he could do it, and he began to eagerly encourage Ashina Qura to march into Lingwu.
Ashina Qiuluo was furious, and the emperor who explained the situation was really not that good. He had acquired so many Turkic cattle and horses, and even sent troops to help him. Now he was completely driven out of Lingzhou and settled in a place like Anle.
Remote place.
More than 30,000 troops spent the winter here, and they would inevitably starve and freeze. By next spring, both men and horses would have to lose weight. The more Ashina Qiuluo thought about it, the more annoyed he became. The violent temperament of the Turks took over...
