Chapter 1258 The war in the Western Regions has been decided
He almost escaped completely from the tight siege of Caohai's army. Although he has a reputation of fleeing without a fight, his ability to preserve his strength and avoid unnecessary battles will amaze the world.
However, Yuan Jun was not as cheerful as General Hong Jun. He felt a slight movement in his heart. Li Luo did not order the army to go west, but said something interesting: "You can go west." That is to say, there are other places to go, and it may not necessarily be necessary.
Go to Mo Shang City.
Li Luo glanced at the generals beside him. Except for a few generals who noticed that there was something else in Li Luo's words, the other generals were all full of energy and wanted to return to Dagan as soon as possible.
Li Luo coughed slightly, and all the generals silenced their voices and waited for orders. Li Luo looked at the generals beside him and said slowly: "This time, the coalition forces of Caohai tribes went south and took up positions in Jianbei City, Yeliangzhou and Yangguan Mansion.
, the total Caohai army at Qingyuan Ferry and Yong'an Ferry is almost 500,000, plus the more than 300,000 troops in Yanchenzhou, there are now 800,000 Caohai soldiers gathered in Beifu. This number is almost
This is the combined strength of the Dagan Dingbei Army and Mu Tianlang."
The generals nodded. The military intelligence report was indeed true, but they didn't know what Li Luo meant when he said this.
Li Luo turned his head and looked north, and said loudly: "I talk about being a young man. He holds the yellow on the left and the blue on the right. He wears a brocade hat and mink fur, and rides thousands of horses to roll around the mountain. In order to repay the beautiful city, he follows the prefect, shoots the tiger himself, and looks at the handsome man.
I am still drunk and my chest is full of courage. There is a slight frost on my temples, so why not! In the clouds holding the knot, when will I send to the court? I will draw the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf. Brothers, this hunting and shooting has been handed down from ancient times.
How about Sirius?"
Hucha Dongchan frowned and said crisply: "General, isn't this somewhat contradictory to the name of our camp? If the wolves have been shot to death, where can we go to graze the wolves!"
The generals smiled, and Yuan Jun said with a smile: "What the princess said is true, but one is to shoot the wolf, and the other is to shepherd the wolf. Killing is easier than herding. In my opinion, it is better to shepherd the wolf."
Even better."
"I can draw the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf. What a hero! The Caohai tribes brought the war to Daganbei Prefecture, and the people in Yeliang Prefecture and Yanchen Prefecture were displaced, and the people were in dire straits. Today the wolf invades the territory.
, the war in Beifu was not going well, the Northern Expedition started in a hurry and ended in a tailspin. First there was a great victory in Bantian Prefecture, and then you and I, the Thirteen Ghost Generals, had no choice but to break out and survive. I don’t know what the people of Yeliang Prefecture were thinking at this moment.”
The generals were silent, it was certainly gratifying to save their lives, but it seemed like they were evacuated, but in fact they were escaping without fighting. This made all the generals feel uncomfortable, as they thought of the Dagan people in Xiuchuan City who relied on their old, weak, women and children to defend the isolated city.
, the Northern Expedition Army did this and abandoned it like a piece of grass, which chilled the hearts of the people in the world.
The generals were speechless, and Li Luo continued: "Dagan and Caohai have been fighting for many years, and Caohai's cavalry is famous all over the world. We only know that the soldiers of Caohai are brave and good at fighting, and are almost invincible, but this land has given birth to such outstanding soldiers.
But few people know what Caohai looks like. In Dagan, Caohai is almost a wild land. There are many guesses about its customs, but no one can describe it clearly.
Before I went on the expedition, I thought that if I had the opportunity one day, I would appreciate the scenery above the sea of grass."
All the generals swallowed their saliva, and Hong Jun and Hucha Dongchan were no exception. What Li Luo said at this moment was even more shocking than the 70,000 troops in Bantian Prefecture against the nearly 200,000 soldiers in Caohai. This time,
Li Luo's sword points to the hinterland of Caohai!
Ban Zhong glanced at the pale-faced camp generals around him and asked cautiously: "I wonder when the opportunity the general mentioned was?"
Li Luo smiled and replied: "What will happen if Da Gan's 800,000-strong army comes out in full force?"
Yuan Jun took a breath and said in a deep voice: "The troops are empty, there are defenders but no attackers!"
"Exactly, no matter it is Dagan or Caohai, 800,000 troops are not a small number. Caohai has a vast territory, but there are also many Li people in the four borders of Dagan. Even so, a total of 800,000 troops is not enough
It won't happen overnight. If the tribes in Caohai can easily gather 800,000 troops to march south, then you and I will probably have to do our best in this battle."
"What the general said does make sense." Hong Jun began to think about the beard under his chin again, pulled a few strands, and used more force. He grinned in pain and sucked in cold air.
The generals looked at each other in shock and did not respond. It is common practice for military strategists to attack in the east and attack in the west. However, there are 800,000 Caohai troops watching behind them. If the retreat is cut off, the tiger will be rejected at the front door and the wolf will enter at the back door.
"The Caohai is so powerful that it has turned the world upside down in several states in the North Prefecture, and people are panicking. If there is a fire in their backyard, I don't know if they can be so calm and composed. The people of Caohai should also try to feel what it is like to be displaced."
"Well, if Caohai is unstable, the morale of the enemy troops in Beifu will also be unstable. No matter who withdraws and returns to the north, it will definitely affect the war in Beifu. Generals Dingbei Army and Qiling Shanling will take the opportunity to raise their troops. It is not a bad idea.
We cannot regain the lost ground." Yuan Jun pondered, then glanced at Li Luo and said, "General, if we wait to go north to Caohai, and the coalition forces split up and return north, we will be attacked from both sides, and the situation may not be good."
"Caohai connects with the border of Dagan, starting from Muzhou, Bojun in the east, to Dizhou, Xifu, in the west, stretching thousands of miles away. General Yuan, if it were you who wanted to encircle a cavalry battalion of 40,000 people,
How many soldiers do you need?" Li Luo asked.
"This..." Yuan Jun pondered for a moment and replied in a deep voice, "If we can find a trace and follow it, one hundred thousand people will be enough; if we can't find the trace, or find it in the wrong way, or we can't catch up, even if there are eighty
Ten thousand troops will be of no help either."
Li Luo nodded and said, "What if there are still foreign invasions?"
"Foreign invasion?" The generals were shocked, and Yuan Jun's eyes flashed, and he shouted softly: "Mu Tian Lang, Mo Shang City!"
Li Luo laughed and said: "Mu Tianlang is guarding the West Mansion. There are many people in the court saying that Mu Tianlang has been idle for many years. After a long time, he must find something to do."
Ban Zhong asked in surprise: "General, before I left Zhuocheng, I heard that there were changes in the war in the Western Regions, and there were changes in Huimeng and Fire Worship. They coveted the states in the West again. In this case, the general's subordinate Mu Tianlang
Can we still take care of the Caohai and Huiji kingdoms north of Moshang City?"
"The war in the Western Region has been decided, you don't have to worry." Li Luo said calmly.
Ban Zhong took a breath of cold air, his resolute and steady face full of surprise. At this moment, Li Luo and his subordinate Mu Tianlang, who were in front of him, looked even more unpredictable.
