Chapter 251 Changes
Geshuhan is very optimistic about Xu Yi's so-called combat plan that is irresponsible to the soldiers. However, it does not prevent him from taking the plan of cooperating with cooperation.
Xu Yi had absolute rights to the Shence Army, which was granted by the court, and his brother Shuhan had no right to point fingers. Cooperating with the Shence Army's overly hasty combat became the greatest help to the Longyou Jiedu Mansion.
"Mr. Xu, if things cannot be done, we must retreat. I will arrange for the Longyou Army to cooperate."
"The victory or defeat of the first battle does not mean anything. As for the army's criticism of firearms, you don't need to care. As long as you gain a firm foothold in Anxi, everything will pass."
As his love for Xu Yi, Ge Shuhan finally persuaded him.
Xu Yi seemed to want to say something else, Cui Gui took the conversation: "Xu Yi, it is the heartfelt word for the commander, you should take it seriously. Start with Sun and Moon Mountain, and also take it as a preview of the attack battle against Shibao City......"
Cui Gui's words are very meaningless.
Cui Gui is finding a way out for Xu Yi.
Xu Yi is preparing to fight all the way. Can Xu Yi achieve what he calls fighting all the way? From the beginning of the battle between Sun and Moon Mountain, you should be able to see the clues.
Even if Xu Yi was defeated when he went to war, as long as Ge Shuhan reported to the court, it would be a test of the battle against Shibao City, no matter how victory or defeat was, it would not affect Xu Yi.
This is still going to cheat myself... Geshuhan could not refuse: "Mr. Xu, as Cui Fu Zun said, this matter is settled."
If Ge Shuhan agrees like this, it means that if he wins, it is the credit of Xu Yi and Shen Ce Army. If he is defeated, the Longyou Army will take the responsibility. Anyway, even a powerful general like Wang Zhongsi refused to defeat Shibao City, and he would not worry about the court blaming the court for one defeat.
It seems that Ge Shuhan is really good.
Geshuhan is really good.
After deciding to support Xu Yi's combat plan to break through the southern line, he collected maps of the Silk Road South Line for Xu Yi through various channels in the jurisdiction of the Longyou Jiedushi.
It was really a bit hasty when Xu Yi decided to go to the battlefield. He could not collect maps to the maximum extent. Even so, it would be of great help to Xu Yi.
The so-called southern line is the line between Qinghai Lake - Chaka Salt Lake - Delingha - Dachaidan. Xu Yi is very familiar with it. He was more than ten years ago... OK, it seems to be in his previous life.
This is how Xu Yi planned when he left Chang'an, so he brought so much baggage. These baggages were not only firearms, but also enough food and grass to travel through two thousand miles of unmanned land.
Compared with the business pictures collected by Geshuhan and Cui Gui, Xu Yi compared his memories that he had never forgotten. Xu Yi found that the situation was easier than he imagined.
Xu Yi remembered that when they beat this line, they were basically deserts, Gobi Deserts, and several saltwater lakes, and oasis were rare.
But from the map collected now, the entire way is considered the Golmud River Basin. Although it is not as shady as green trees, it is not the kind of desert and Gobi Desert...
Xu Yi originally thought that the most difficult thing to follow this line was survival. Now it seems that the surrounding Tubo army has become the biggest obstacle... And Xu Yi is not worried about this at all.
The army fought a protracted war, and even said that it would be safeguarded this line of defense for a long time. Xu Yi could not guarantee that the Shence Army had such ability, and it was indeed not, but just breaking through and passing through the southern line, Xu Yi believed that it was not difficult.
He was not prepared to fight against the Tubo army garrison along the way, which was the matter of the Longyou Army. Xu Yi led the Shence Army to pass, or to shock the war.
Xu Yi really didn't believe that he had a large number of chariots as moving fortresses, sufficient firearms, and the cooperation of the Longyou Army's feint attack, so he could not break through the southern line!
Tubo also knew about Xu Yi's appointment as Anxi. When Xu Yi came to this news, he became very cautious among the Tubo garrisons stationed in Shibao City.
There is no way, the sky fire that happened more than ten years ago is not only fresh in Longyou Army, but also fresh in the Tubo Army. So far, the Tubo people still don’t know what caused such a tragic sky fire.
Since Tubo successfully attacked Shibao City a few years ago, corresponding defenses have been made against the entire outer periphery of Shibao City, which is a bit against Xu Yi's original fire prevention.
When a flag with the character Xu flying appeared on the Longyou Army's defense line, the entire Tubo Defense Army began to gather around Shibao City, and almost arranged a defensive army to arrange the entire valley around Shibao City.
In Tubo's view, it was inevitable that Dasheng would transfer Xu Yi to Longyou to take over Shibao City. And Xu Yi's first battle to take over would be to attack Shibao City.
Although the news found out in detail was that Xu Yi served in Anxi, the Tubo people would rather believe that the Dasheng court transferred Xu Yi to attack Shibao City.
The strategic position of Stone Castle City on the entire border is no longer necessary to prove it.
Therefore, when Xu Yi brought Shen Ce army into Shanzhou City, Tubo began to assemble a large army to the Sun and Moon Mountain.
However, Xu Yi also chose to cross the southern line of the Silk Road to Yumen Pass, which further demonstrated that Xu Yi's so-called appointment in Anxi was a pretext.
Of course, Xu Yi's plan to fight along the way was not revealed, but when the Shence Army left Shanzhou City and the army marched towards Sun and Moon Mountain, Tubo became more convinced of his judgment.
Given that Xu Yi had once proposed the advice and borrowed the Tianhuo Huo Shibao City, this time Tubo was covered with defensive forces all over the mountains and valleys around Riyue Mountain.
The original Shibao City had only a few hundred and a thousand garrison soldiers, and at most, some patrol cavalry were added to the valleys around Sun and Moon Mountain. This time... it changed completely.
It was Xu Yi, who looked confused when he saw the Tubo battle flag floating everywhere in the valley of Sun and Moon Mountain.
What's going on? If the entire southern line of the Silk Road was like this, what else could he do to break through? Just talking about the Sun and Moon Mountain position, Xu Yi probably would have to be half a year before he could fight it. That was the result of the Tubo people's advance and retreat and not resisting.
This is a man, tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers were in this valley. Not to mention fighting, even standing there, his chariots could not be advanced.
Alas... The bull that I just brag about is just like an instant slap in the face?
However, Xu Yi still felt that it was not normal. How many people were there in Tubo? Not to mention now, even in later generations, it was also expressed by the adjective of vast land and sparsely populated areas. If Tubo had deployed the southern line of the Silk Road in this way, unless the Tubo people, regardless of men, women, and young, were concentrated on the border with Dasheng.
"Master, what's going on?"
Li Guangbi and Xue Song stepped forward and asked Xu Yi what to do.
Just depend on the current situation, the original combat plan is simply unrealistic.
