"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this strategy is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing Li Xian singing his one-man show as cheerfully as ever, Qibi could no longer hold his own. Fearing that Li Xian would issue an order, he hurriedly stood up and objected loudly.
"Oh? What does General Qibi think of this? You might as well tell him."
Li Xian was not angry because of Qibi Heli's objection, but smiled slightly and asked gently.
"Your Highness clearly knows that our army's three divisions and the garrison in each state have a total of more than 70,000 troops. It is not enough to defend the cities. How can there be enough for Your Highness to mobilize? This fact cannot be discussed."
Qibi Heli was upright by nature and had no intention of saving face for Li Xian in military affairs. This directly pointed out the "absurdity" of Li Xian's policy.
"Yes, Your Highness, our army in Hexi can only barely defend itself and has no strength to attack. Moreover, the number of troops in a brigade is only five thousand. Even if we attack by force and enter the enemy's territory, what can we do? There are many thieves.
Up to 400,000, there is a huge disparity between them. It would be dangerous to leave here. I ask Your Highness to think twice." As soon as Qibi Heli finished speaking, Gao Gao stood up and also disagreed with Li Xian's battle plan.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, five thousand versus four hundred thousand, how can it be done? It's inappropriate, it's really inappropriate!"
Seeing that his two colleagues had expressed their opinions one after another, Li Jinxing was not willing to lag behind, shaking his big head and saying "that's inappropriate" over and over again.
"Your Highness, please think twice!"
The three generals had spoken one after another, and all the generals followed suit, expressing their attitudes in unison, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
"Don't be anxious, gentlemen. I have only one question. Please answer it truthfully." Facing the full opposition of the generals, Li Xian did not show any anger at all. He just smiled, shook his head, and pressed his hands.
, signaled the generals to be quiet, and then asked: "If the thieves attack with all their strength, can the generals be able to defend it?"
"Lanzhou may be fine, but Liang and Shanzhou may be in trouble."
As soon as Li Xian said this, there was a sudden silence in the whole tent. Everyone's eyes were all turned to the eldest Qi Bi Heli. Forced to have no choice but to do so, Qi Bi Heli could only
He stood up with a grimace and answered hesitantly.
"What the old general Qibi said is true, and Gu also thinks so. From this, it can be seen that it is difficult to defend alone. Only by making progress can we have a chance to win. If Gu cannot mobilize the troops of the princes and can confuse the enemy's inner circle, all the enemies will be defeated.
Do you dare to fight?" Li Xian smiled and nodded, echoing Qi Bi Heli, then suddenly changed the subject, and then raised a new question.
"this……"
Qibi Heli couldn't figure out for a while what Li Xian meant by saying this, and couldn't help but feel speechless. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Gao Shen, who was known as a wise general.
"Could it be that His Highness wants to mobilize troops from another place? This can be done, but the water far away may not be able to quench the thirst of the people nearby. Now that winter is approaching and the opportunity to fight has been lost, what can we do?" Gao Gao is indeed worthy of being a wise general.
He vaguely guessed the meaning behind Li Xian's words, but he didn't think it was feasible, so he asked suspiciously.
"To be honest, I have received my father's secret order and specially mobilized three thousand elite cavalry from Longzhou. They should have crossed the Yellow River by now and will arrive at Lanzhou City by noon today at the latest. The debt I owe is only two
Qian Shanqi's foot soldiers are all around. Is there anyone among you who dares to accompany me on this journey?" Li Xian chuckled lightly and explained with a pearl of wisdom in his hands.
"boom……"
Hearing that Li Xian had unexpectedly summoned the Guanlong cavalry, all the generals couldn't help but be dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, they began to discuss in confusion. For a while, the voices were so noisy that it was almost
It was comparable to a vegetable market, but Li Xian didn't take it seriously at all. He just stood there with a smile and allowed the generals to talk about it.
"Your Highness clearly knows that this matter is still impossible. There are two reasons: first, His Highness is a rich man, how can he easily take such a strange risk? Second, even if I have to do this, I must have the unparalleled ability to do so.
Only a strong general can do this. I hope Your Highness will think twice!" After a period of chaotic discussion, Gao Suo stood out from the crowd with a worried look on his face and remonstrated in a firm tone.
"Yes, this matter is a narrow escape. Your Highness is a prince, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"What General Gao Da said is reasonable. Unless the former Han Huo champion is reborn, otherwise, he will be defeated without any ground!"
"Your Highness, be careful, be careful!"
…
As soon as Gao Xian finished speaking, the generals rushed to echo Li Xian's words without waiting for Li Xian to speak. Although Bufan was sincerely concerned about Li Xian's safety, they were more worried about being implicated - what Gaozong ordered
Everyone has accepted the decree. Whether they like it or not, Li Xian, who holds the power to control the armies, is the legitimate commander-in-chief of the three armies. At least until the generals originally objected and Gao Zong agreed, this fact will not change significantly.
According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, if an accident occurs to the commander of the army, even if he wins the battle, he will still be held accountable. What's more, in the eyes of the generals, the chance of victory in this battle is too slim, or at least not optimistic.
, Under such circumstances, no one is willing to be implicated by Li Xian's blind actions.
"What you are thinking is that I am not as good as Huo Guangjun of the previous Han Dynasty. Isn't it wrong?"
The reaction of the generals had been expected by Li Xian, and he was not moved by it. He always listened with a smile. It was not until the generals' discussion slowed down that Li Xian calmly asked a question.
.
"..."
Li Xian's question was obviously not easy to answer. The generals were not fools, and they would not do anything like skinning Li Xian in person. Remaining silent became the unanimous choice of all the generals.
There was a natural look on his face.
Not convinced? Very good, just beat you until you are convinced! Li Xian naturally knows that the generals are not convinced by him. This is not surprising. A bunch of old army sticks were beaten out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Which one
Without a hundred and eighty lives in hand, how could he really be convinced by a young bird like Li Xian who just debuted? Even if Li Xian has the big hat of "Prince Zhibing" on his head, don't let him always be high-minded.
The arrogant generals were heartbroken. In the final analysis, all of this depends on strength. As for the army, generally speaking, whoever has the biggest fist will listen. Li Xian has already known this.
He was mentally prepared, but he didn't care much. He just waited for the generals' answers as if they were listening. Obviously, Li Xian was afraid that this answer would never come to him.
"It seems that all the gentlemen really think so. Anyway, I don't want to waste my words. Everyone is in the martial arts field now, so I will go on the stage and have a go. Among the princes, there are some who are proud of their courage. Although
Just let your horse come over. If there is someone who is better than Gu, let's discuss it beforehand. If not, if anyone dares to speak nonsense again, Gu will not be spared!" It doesn't matter if you can't wait for an answer. Li Xian comes to ask and answer the same question, and that's it.
He sneered, glanced at the generals coldly, and after saying a harsh word, he flicked his sleeves and strode outside the tent.
"General Qibi, look at this..."
"General Gao Da, please come up with an idea quickly."
"Oh, how did all this happen!"
…
The generals obviously did not expect that Li Xian would take such a tough move. Seeing that Li Xian had left the main tent of the Chinese army, the generals were dumbfounded and couldn't help but become a little anxious, surrounding the three of them.
The general kept yelling.
"Um!"
Qibi Heli himself had an impatient temper, and when the generals made trouble like this, he immediately became angry. He raised his hand with a dark face, and said coldly, forcibly stopping the generals' blindness.
He yelled, and then gave Gao Tao a sideways look with a frown, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Brother Gao, I didn't expect that His Highness is also a ruthless person. He wants to be tough on me. What should I do?"
"Ha, he has such a good temper and is refreshing. A certain family likes him very much. Hehe, why don't we just compete with each other? I'm so scared. I haven't seen any battles before, so I won't be scared when it comes.
That’s it!” Before Gao Gao could speak, Li Jinxing took the lead and saw this bear-like guy nonchalantly shaking his big head, grinning, and made a bold statement.
"Well, it's better to let His Highness know the importance of it than to blindly take risks." After Gao Gao pondered for a moment, he really didn't have any good solution, so he could only reluctantly agree with Li Jinxing.
Suggestion, but he was more careful and did not directly invite Li Jinxing, the strongest martial artist, to fight. Instead, after hesitating for a while, he nodded to a bearded general in the crowd and said: "Wu Kui, this
I'll leave it to you in the first round, be careful not to really hurt His Highness."
"General, don't worry, the general will have his own sense of proportion."
Wu Kui is the Zhonglang General of the Zuojian Gate Guard. He is directly subordinate to Gao Tuo. He has the lowest official rank among the generals, but his martial arts is considered to be middle-class, neither high nor low. He is the most suitable candidate to challenge him. This Gao Tuo head
When one of them called his name, Wu Kui immediately became excited, grinned and agreed with a big smile. Seeing this, the other generals had nothing to say, and they left the central army after talking about it.
When you look into the big tent, you can see Li Xian riding his horse and standing in the middle of the field. His golden armor is shining brightly in the morning sun. He is also holding a big sword that no one can name. He is really like a dragon and his horse is like a tiger.
The appearance is extremely good, and even before the battle begins, all the generals can't help but be impressed by it.
"General Wu, if you are defeated, quickly admit defeat!"
Others saw the excitement, but Li Jinxing, who was highly skilled in martial arts, saw some tricks and vaguely felt that Li Xian seemed difficult to deal with. He saw Wu Kui excitedly getting on his horse, raising his gun and about to attack the center of the field.
Running over, Li Jinxing hurriedly mentioned something.
"Huh, Wu is going too!"
Li Jinxing was kind-hearted, but Wu Kui obviously didn't appreciate it. He snorted unhappily, kicked the horse in the belly, raised his gun and killed Li Xian in the middle of the field...
