The first thousand five hundred and twenty-two chapters of the strategy of pacifying the bandits
Hu Mingyi smiled bitterly and said, "The students were incompetent and failed to convince the leaders of the rioters to accept the court's amnesty."
"Ah, how could this happen!" Li Guangyi let go of his hands that supported Hu Mingyi, and was disappointed, "Is God really going to destroy me?"
In less than ten days, all Yanghe Road and Northeast Road in Jibei Road fell into the enemy. Once the remaining Zuowei Road also fell into the enemy, there was no border fort between Datong Town and Xinping Fort to defend the enemy. The army of bandits could face the Datong Town where he was.
"Dongweng, don't worry, the rioters' affairs are not unsolvable." Hu Mingyi took a step forward and whispered.
Li Guangyi looked at Hu Mingyi in confusion and said, "Sir, do you have any good solutions to solve the disaster of the Datong Rebellion Bandits?"
"The students have no choice, but the students have found someone who has a way to deal with the bandits." As he said that, Hu Mingyi glanced at Deputy General Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Li Guangyi's eyes followed.
For the first time, I noticed the general who came to Houya with Hu Mingyi.
"The last general wishes to the military gate." Deputy General Li saluted Li Guangyi again.
Li Guangyi knew him and knew that this person was the general of Fubiao camp who was accompanying Hu Mingyi.
At this time, Hu Mingyi said: "Dongweng, this man has a ravine in his heart. On the way back from Xinpingbao, he told the students something. The students thought it made sense, so they took him over to meet Dongweng."
"Do you have a way to help me eliminate the rioters in Xinpingbao?" Li Guangyi looked at Deputy General Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Deputy General Li knew that this was an opportunity for him to be taken seriously by the governor, so he quickly said the words he had said to Hu Mingyi before and to Li Guangyi again.
After hearing this, Li Guangyi stroked his beard with a deep thought on his face. When he saw the general in front of him still kneeling, he raised his right hand and said, "Get up first!"
"Xie Junmen." Deputy General Li stood up from the ground and stood respectfully aside.
After pondering for a moment, Li Guangyi said, "What you said is not unreasonable, but have you ever thought about it? If the bandits had more than just such a few soldiers, don't forget that the bandits had defeated the cavalry of the Northern Lu on the grassland, so it is certain that there were still soldiers of the bandits on the grassland."
"Students have thought about this too." Deputy General Li said hurriedly.
He finally had the opportunity to show off in front of the governor, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.
Li Guangyi walked back to the main seat and sat down, picked up the cover bowl on the table in his hand, and said, "Tell me, let me see."
"The last general thinks that even if the bandits still have a soldier on the grassland, the number of people will not exceed 20,000. The tiger flag is just a business after all, and with the power of a business, it is the limit to be able to support tens of thousands of troops." Deputy General Li said.
Li Guangyi nodded gently and blew the heat in the cup with his mouth, "Continue."
"Yes." Deputy General Li bowed slightly and continued, "Although there are rumors outside that the bandits conquered the Tumote tribe, the generals felt that the bandits in the Tumote tribe, as one of the most powerful tribes on the grassland and the leader was a descendant of the Golden Family, it would never be willing to be conquered by a Han force. Therefore, the bandits dare not send a large number of troops to Datong, because they need to use most of their troops to suppress the Northern Barbarians on the grassland. In this way, the bandits in Datong can get limited military support."
Li Guangyi held the cover bowl in his hand with one hand and asked, "Then how many soldiers do you think Liu Heng will send to support the rioters in Datong?"
"The most soldiers of the first battalion." Deputy General Li raised a finger and then said, "If there are more troops, the troops will not be able to suppress the Northern Territory on the grassland."
Li Guangyi snorted and said, "The rioters already have more than 10,000 troops in Datong. If you come with another 5,000 troops, there will be 20,000 troops. Such many troops are enough to capture most of the county towns and border forts in Datong."
"What the military gate said," Deputy General Li echoed, and then said, "Every time a rioter is attacked by a county or border fort, the rioters will have to divide some of their troops to garrison. There are 72 border forts and cities in Datong. In addition to Datong Town and far-reaching prefectures and counties, there are also more than 50 border forts and cities. Once the rioters station troops in these places, there will probably be no soldiers and horses to attack Datong Town at that time."
As he said that, he looked up at Li Guangyi.
But when Li Guangyi frowned, he said, "What do you mean is to let me ignore the life and death of other places and allow the bandits to capture it, and only let me defend the Datong Town Town?"
"In the border troops that General Yang took away, many of the troops were drawn from each side fortress, so that the inside of each side fortress is now empty. Even if you want to rescue the military gate, it is difficult to gather enough troops. It is better to concentrate the troops in Datong Town, wait for the troubled bandits to take the initiative to invade." Deputy General Li said.
Li Guangyi pondered for a moment and said, "What if the bandits encircle a large number of people? Don't forget that the border troops and guards have also been captured by bandits. These people may join the bandits. By then, the bandits' forces will not be 20,000, most likely 50,000, 80,000, or even 100,000 troops."
"Even if there are 100,000 troops in chaos, it doesn't matter. With more troops, the corresponding strength will be weakened. With the thick walls of Datong Town, as long as the military gates stick to the arrival of the imperial reinforcements, joining forces with the imperial reinforcements can also defeat the unsuccessful bandits." Deputy General Li looked at Li Guangyi and said.
Hu Mingyi, who was standing by the side, said at this time: "Can't we deal with the riots in Datong before the imperial army comes to aid?"
"If there are enough troops, it is not impossible." Deputy General Li said in a vague manner.
Li Guangyi said: "Okay, I understand that it is impossible to completely wipe out the rioters in Datong's territory, relying solely on Datong's own troops, so I have already pleaded with the court to reinforcements. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."
"The military wise man." Deputy General Li bowed slightly.
The biggest difficulty in Datong is that there are not many available soldiers, and those little soldiers can only be used to defend the city. It is impossible to lead troops to the battle like Yang Guozhu.
Li Guangyi said: "If you hand over all the troops from Fubiao Camp to you, can you defend Datong Town for me for your own official and persist until the reinforcements from the court arrive?"
"The last general is OK." Deputy General Li's eyes revealed joy.
At this time, no matter whether he could hold on to Datong Town in front of the rioters, he would say that he could defend it. Only in this way could he gain Li Guangyi's attention and trust.
It is for this moment to spend so much effort to get such an opportunity to make statements in front of the military camp through Hu Mingyi.
Li Guangyi was very satisfied with the other party's answer, "I hope you remember what you said just now, okay, let's go down first!"
"The last one will be resigned." Deputy General Li bowed and said withdrew.
