"If Wu Jie wants to escape Datang in the shortest time, the route it takes is nothing more than starting from Chang'an, passing through Yongzhou, to Ningzhou, Gyeongju, Jiangzhou, and Shuofang, and then from Huaiyuan to the grassland! Judging from the speed of the grandmaster, Wu Jie may have passed Binju, or even arrived in Gyeongju!
What we have to do now is to set up an ambush in advance at the must pass from Gyeongju to the grassland! Wu Jie would never expect that the state capital soldiers and horses in the north of Datang would react so quickly! "
After cleaning up 30,000 soldiers and horses who are skilled in the cooperation of the battlefield, Li Zexuan led a large army quickly out of the city and headed straight towards Jiangzhou in the west.
On the way, Li Zexuan analyzed Xu Tingda beside him.
Since there are no familiar generals around him, and now he has no time to get acquainted with the people around him, Li Zexuan can only do everything by himself, and slowly cultivate a tacit understanding with the soldiers from Bingzhou. Only after knowing the abilities of the people around him, Only then can he gradually delegate power and leave things to others to handle!
Fortunately, Xu Tingda, the captain of the Zhechong Mansion, is quite capable, and he has rich experience in battle formations. The most important thing is to be obedient. There is no rebelliousness that most veterans have. Li Zexuan said every word he said. Listening carefully, hearing the words, he clasped his fist and said:
"Hou Ye’s words are quite reasonable. The closest route from Chang'an to the grassland is this one! But in the end it is estimated that the Wu Jie may not take the official road in order to avoid the chase of the court, and 80% will take some small roads. By guarding some critical hurdles that he must pass, he will definitely be able to stop him!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and after a while, he asked: "Xu Duwei has guarded Bingzhou for many years. He must be more familiar with some passes in the north than Ben Hou. In Xu Duwei's opinion, Ben Hou should be divided into those passes. Send troops?"
In fact, he had a Map of the Tang Dynasty in his mind, and he clearly knew some of the passes in the north. The reason why he had to ask this way was nothing more than thinking about Xu Tingda.
Of course, Xu Tingda himself is very willing to accept such considerations. Li Zexuan has already said the purpose of this deployment-to round up Wu Jie. For him, this is an excellent opportunity for meritorious service! If he can perform better in this battle and get a little support from Li Zexuan, then he is likely to be promoted to the next level!
Don’t look at Xu Tingda’s appearance as a big boss, but he is careful. In the past year, Li Zexuan’s promotion speed has been the same as that of a rocket. He has become the most dazzling upstart in the court in recent years. No one can beat it! Besides, aside from official positions, Li Zexuan is still a martial arts master. Even if he has never been on the battlefield, Xu Tingda dare not have any contempt, so he has always been serious and cautiously waiting on the side!
"Hui Houye, at the end we will think that we should first set up ambush at Longmen Pass, which is the closest to Gyeongju. Secondly, Madou Pass, Yonghe Pass, and even Yanmen Pass should send a small amount of troops to prevent witchcraft. Longmen Pass has been passed for a while. Secondly, if we fail to stop Wu Jie at Longmen Pass, the remaining three passes can delay for a while!
The most important thing is that these four passes have been battlegrounds for military strategists since ancient times. They are the necessary checkpoints to go to the grassland and the necessary checkpoints to enter the Central Plains from the grassland. If you want to go around, you must have more witchcraft. It's at least five or six hundred miles away, so it is impossible for him to go around! "
Xu Tingda thought for a while, then hugged Li Zexuan.
In ancient times, there were many battlefields for military strategists. Some modern people may not understand why there are battlefields for military strategists and why it is necessary to expend huge forces to capture those tactical battlefields? Isn't it enough to go around?
In fact, such strategic locations are generally divided into two categories, one is a pass, and the other is an important town. The pass is the "critical pass". Generally, the terrain on both sides of the pass is high mountains and cannot be bypassed. Important towns can be bypassed on march. However, such important towns are not attacked, but bypassed. In the past, it made the entire military operation meaningless, and it was easy to be attacked back and forth and making dumplings!
The Longmen Pass, Madou Pass, Yonghe Pass and Yanmen Pass mentioned by Xu Tingda are all dangerous passes of this type!
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help showing a hint of approval on his face. He nodded and smiled: "Yes! In Wu Jie, the states in the north of Datang have not received any news from the imperial court to be wanted by him. Organizing troops to block him, in this case, he will not deliberately go around the switch gate and go a long way!
In that case, Benhou will now take the 10,000 army to Longmen Pass. Xu Duwei, you will take the remaining 20,000 army to the north, holding Benhou’s warrant and imperial decree, in turn at Madouguan and Yongheguan. , Yanmen Pass fortification, when necessary, you can let the soldiers and horses of the nearby state capital assist you! Benhou wants to lay a net of heaven and earth to make it difficult for the Witch Tribulation to fly! "
After several considerations, Li Zexuan discovered that Xu Tingda is still a talented general. Although he has not heard of this person in history books, it is impossible for every capable person to be able to leave a name in history for five thousand years. Right? Those who are buried in the long river of history are not necessarily incompetent!
It was based on this consideration that Li Zexuan decided to let Xu Tingda lead his own army and go north to defend! But having said that, now he is the only general who can be used by his side and can be alone. It is estimated that Xu Tingda is the only one. If this person is not selected, who else can he choose?
Xu Tingda's heart suddenly shook, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your trust! But the final adviser suggested that Lord Hou lead an army of 20,000 troops to guard Longmen Pass, and his subordinates lead 10,000 elite soldiers to the north to deploy defenses. It is very likely that it is still in the area of Gyeongju and Longmen Pass, and a fierce battle will soon be ushered in! In comparison, the three passes in the north are not prone to danger!"
He was worried that there were too few soldiers left, and Li Zexuan might be in danger!
Li Zexuan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "You don't have to worry about Benhou here! Even if Wu Jie has not yet reached Longmen Pass, the ten thousand horses that Benhou has brought are enough to guard Longmen Pass! Let you take the other two. Ten thousand soldiers went to the northern pass not all to prevent the witches from fleeing, but to prevent the Turkic army from the north!"
Hearing this, Xu Tingda couldn't help being shocked, and he said with a look of horror: "Master Hou, do you mean that the Turks will send a large army to invade the border of my Datang?"
This is "big news". Although there are occasional "frictions" between Datang and Turks, they are small frictions on a local scale. Once the Turkic army officially invades the hinterland of Datang, it means the two countries. Full-scale war is about to begin!
The Weishui alliance in Wude's nine years was because Datang had just experienced internal friction at the time and had no strength to take over this tough battle, so it chose to compromise. But today, Datang has unprecedented national power and is capable of understanding. Seeing that within three years of the Tang Dynasty, the enemy of the soldiers who came to the city will be reported. Now, listening to Li Zexuan said that the Turkic army may attack several passes in the north, Xu Tingda instantly felt that the national war was coming!
Li Zexuan nodded thoughtfully, "Very likely! Do you know what Wu Jie has stolen from Datang? He stole the most important batch of confidential information from Yanhuang Academy. Turkic people only need to learn the above. In a year, the Turkic national power will be at least twice as powerful as it is now. At that time, Datang will have no power to fight the Turkic! You said that for such an important thing, Jie Li may not send troops to respond to the witchcraft. ?"
He looked solemnly, and solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou will definitely guard the northern pass, and will never put the Turkic army into the land of Datang!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Well! It's best! You quickly take twenty thousand elite soldiers to the north!"
Xu Tingda clasped his fists and responded loudly, "Here~! I will go now!"
Having said that, he turned around, facing the soldiers behind, shouting loudly: "The soldiers of the four camps of C-character, D-character, E-character, and Ji-character camp will immediately go to Madouguan with the book! "
"Yes~!"
Twenty thousand soldiers promised loudly, and then diverted violently, and ran towards the north with Xu Tingda.
And Li Zexuan, with the remaining 10,000 troops, continued to drive towards Longmen Pass.
"quack--"
When the army reached a hillside in Longmen County, there were two "quack" sounds suddenly heard from the sky. The sound was a bit like an elongated goose. Li Zexuan looked up and saw a big goose from the top of his head to the southwest. Fly away!
But at this moment, only a "shoo" sound was heard, and a sharp arrow shot out from the woods on the hillside and ran straight towards the lone goose. No, to be precise, it was towards the lone goose. Run away!
"Gah—"
The sharp arrow entered the body, and the lone geese let out a mournful cry, and suddenly fell from the sky, and it happened to land three feet in front of Li Zexuan!
"Call~!"
Li Zexuan quickly stopped Dabai, the soldiers behind saw this and immediately stopped. Several sergeants around Li Zexuan thought they were in an ambush, and hurriedly shouted: "There is an assassin! Protect Hou Ye!"
"Swish~!"
The soldiers drew out the Mo knives around their waists, and scattered them around Li Zexuan, staring at the hillsides on both sides with vigilant faces.
Li Zexuan waved his hand helplessly and said, "All back!"
When he wanted to come, this should be someone shooting a wild goose on the mountain, who had a relationship with the assassin? These people are a little too nervous!
Everyone looked at each other and had to put away Mo Dao.
Li Zexuan jumped down from Da Bai at this time, walked to the front of the wild goose, and looked intently, but was shocked, only to see that the sharp arrow that had just happened to shoot into the wild goose's mouth!
Since the still-unseen Orion took advantage of the moment when the wild goose opened his mouth, he accurately shot the arrow into the wild goose's mouth. This timing control ability and arm strength are absolutely impossible for ordinary people!
Master!
Li Zexuan didn't expect to meet a master of this level in this poor country!
He couldn't help but scowled, and rushed to the hillside to the right and shouted: "Which strong man shot the wild goose, take it back quickly!"
But the mountain forest was quiet, and no one responded. It is estimated that the hunters on the mountain saw such a battle under the mountain and were so scared to come out!
After a while, when Li Zexuan was about to leave, the hunter on the mountain finally said, "Can you really take it away? You won't catch me?"
There was a bit of immaturity in the voice, but it sounded quite imposing.
Li Zexuan couldn't help being a little surprised, because listening to this voice, the man on the mountain was not very old!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more interested in the orion on the mountain, so he shouted: "The strong man is joking. How can this be arresting the people for no reason? Just come down and take the wild goose! This wild goose has no injuries outside the body. , Should be able to sell for a good price!"

Master!

He couldn't help but grimaced ~EbookFREE.me~ and rushed to the right hillside and shouted: "Which strong man shot the wild goose, take it back quickly!"
