Chapter 198: Military Detectives Go Boling Battle Report
After seven days of marching, you will enter the pass, and in another five days you will reach Lingzhou and enter Longyou Road.
After discussing with Qin Qiong and Chai Shao, Li Fangchen selected ten people from the White Wolf Army, turned into military probes, and rushed to Longyou first. If there were a small group of Turkic teams roaming, they would be wiped out first.
On the other side, Li Jing and others sent troops one after another, and Li Shimin was in charge of the court, but no one was found to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Perhaps it is because there are still seven guards in Chang'an who have not moved.
Li Shimin, the governor of various places, ordered strict observance and not to be easily moved. Violators are treated as rebellion.
The fast horses rushed into Longyou. Except for Lanzhou and Lingzhou, there were traces of Turkic soldiers in other prefectures.
It took three days to explore the horse and flew back to the army.
Three of them were missing. According to what they said, they encountered a Turkic dog on the way to investigate and died.
After saying that, some of the Turkic people's left ears were also taken out.
After seeing this, Li Fangchen urgently recruited all the generals to discuss, "I want to take the white wolf and attack Suzhou first."
Without hesitation, the generals said directly: "Master-in-law, don't be impulsive. What should I do if someone lies in Ganzhou and Suzhou?"
"Yes, Grandmaster, the road ahead is not clear now, why take risks?"
Li Fangchen sighed and said, "I took Bailang to break the Yumen Pass first, and as a surprise soldier, he will win by surprise. General Qin and General Chai will lead the army to quickly eliminate the Turkic cavalry in Longyou. With the powerful weapons in our army, I really don't believe that he shouldn't Heshi (Ashina Nishu) can bring people in!"
Qin Qiong was still very hesitant, "Master, this matter... my subordinates believe that those who are the commanders should not easily take risks!"
At a stalemate between the two sides, a scout ran into the hall, "Report to the Grand Marshal, the war in Boling is urgently reported!"
"speak!"
"On February 16th, Duke Li Ji led his troops to fight against the rebel Cui Yanshun, with 5,000 soldiers and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers. The rebel Cui Yanshun was beheaded by Duke Lu. His descendants Cui Shuangming inherited the power and the rebels lost more than 30,000. Cui Shuangming forced the local farmers and gathered 70,000 troops."
"On February 18th, Duke Li Ji led 20,000 troops to retreat to Yingzhou to cultivate and replenish food and grass."
"On February 21st, Cui Shuangming led his troops to counterattack Yingzhou. The British Duke Li Ji led his troops to defend the enemy, and once again lost 3,000 troops. The rebels left behind 25,000 bodies and retreated..."
It seems that Li Ji was dragged down and was trying to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Li Fangchen felt that he had to move faster and he would destroy Mo Heshi first.
"I ordered the army to be divided into three in a few days. I led the White Wolf to go first, and the remaining 20,000 people were controlled by General Qin and General Chai."
"Your Highness!"
"Can't you hear what I said?"
Being timid and timid is not Li Fangchen's style. It can be solved faster, so why is it wasted so long?
After this one-man rule, the others just wanted to say that nothing could be possible. The King of Qin had the right to order such a command, and at most they could only persuade them.
Because, the commander in the army will be determined in one word!
Li Fangchen's army was three points, and Bailang first came first, and then 20,000 entered Longyou at the same time.
According to Li Fangchen's previous request, he began to clear out small groups of Turkic troops in Longyoudao to raise troops.
And the White Wolf Army was ready to do a big fight.
"Your Highness, the spy came to report. Thirty miles ahead is Ganzhou. There are 30 thousand Turkic soldiers guarding this place."
"Let the entire army set up camp and take a break for a while, and wait for the best of tomorrow and move forward at full speed!"
They ran all the way, and the speed was more than twice as fast as the army in the rear. If it weren't for the letters being delivered by the two houses, Qin Qiong and Chai Shao would have been unable to help but lead their troops to chase them.
The camp fire broke out at night, and the people in the tent could not sleep.
Li Fangchen looked at the map in front of him and couldn't help asking: "If we look at the city marked by the military probe, Mo Heshe had prepared at least 20,000 troops in Longyou Road, but his main force did not know where he was?"
Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Your Highness, do you think Mo Hezhi will turn back to the Turks?"
"How is that possible?" Li Fangchen touched his chin, very confused about it.
Chai Zhewei sneered, "Your Highness, don't forget, Mo Heshe was originally a general of the Western Turks. His surrender to Jie Li was just because he surrendered to the powerful soldiers of the Eastern Turks. Maybe this guy has other plans!"
Li Fangchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "No, don't move lightly. Our 6,000 white wolves are not enough to face the 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses. If we send a probe, we must take Ganzhou to Yumen Pass to find out the location and specific direction of the Turkic people in each area!"
Without the assistance of high-tech, Li Fangchen was a little disliked by this behavior of rushing upward when he was slandered in the war.
What if Mo Heshe brought more than 50,000 troops?
By the way!
"Huaiyu, I ask you, do you know how the Turks transport food and grass?"
Seeing Li Fangchen suddenly ask a question, Qin Huaiyu blurted out, "Don't you rely on a carriage?"
"Carriage? How many carriages can the Turks have?"
Li Fangchen sneered, and the meeting ended here. When the horse stalker returned, he could figure it out completely compared to him.
"Aowoo!"
After seeing Li Fangchen and the others talk, Aurora went forward directly, rushed to Li Fangchen, and rubbed Li Fangchen's thigh hard.
He patted Aurora's head, "Everyone will start changing military rations tonight. Each meal will have a piece of jerky meat. If you can't eat enough, this will not be enough!"
I used to eat military rations transported by the Ministry of Revenue. Because I was advancing with the army, Li Fangchen ordered the White Wolf Army not to mention eating meat. Now after the army is divided, the meat jerky should be supplied.
They can eat for more than half a year with 6,000 people, but if they change to more than 20,000 people, it will be more than five times more than one month at most.
"Hehe, brothers have long been unable to hold it in."
Qin Huaiyu and Chai Zhewei laughed at the same time. Who would want to eat meat? Who would be willing to eat the big cake as hard as a stone?
Why not give the other 20,000 troops?
Nonsense, Li Fangchen had already handed over the jerky method, but the Tang Dynasty could not completely make a marching meal, but instead became a reward occasionally given by the army.
The White Wolf Army is different. In name, they are all their own private soldiers.
After waiting for three days, Li Fangchen's White Wolf Army had reached a range less than fifteen miles from Ganzhou City.
Then there was a sparsely populated place, backed by the mountains. If it weren't for the Turkic spies who hadn't inquired carefully, they would have been exposed long ago.
It is also a pity that Li Fangchen decided to divide the army before, which allowed the Turks to get news that the Tang Dynasty's army had just entered Longyou Road.
As for the Turkic people they saw, the white wolf would not leave any survivors, so as far as possible, the army of more than 6,000 people is still invisible.
"Your Highness, there is news!"
“Come in quickly.”
Looking at the military provocate who risked his life to rush back, Li Fangchen signaled him to drink a sip of tea.
The military probe hurriedly said, "Your Highness, those Turkic dogs are now camping five miles outside Yumen Pass. There are definitely many people, and the information is incorrect."
Chapter completed!
