Chapter 1269 Cleaning up the battlefield is the most important thing

Faced with such a situation, not to mention the soldiers of the Piao Kingdom, including the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they had no idea of ​​such an outcome. They had trained for so long before coming, and His Highness gave us urgent instructions. He did it again and again, but he didn't expect such a result on the battlefield.

When Li Xiang arrived here, what he saw was a large number of our captured soldiers in the open space outside the city. They were registering these people. All the people in the city stayed in their homes and did not really have control of this city. Before the city, no one was allowed to go out.

"Looking at the expressions on your faces, do you think that my previous training was in vain?"

Without talking to these people, Li Xiang knew what they were thinking. Everyone felt that the previous training was too difficult. If we only faced these soldiers, there would be no need for us to work so hard.

"It makes sense for His Highness to let us train. How can we dare to make random guesses? Now please His Highness to temporarily move outside the city. There are still many unstable factors in the city. It is better not to go in for the time being."

Although Changsun Ze didn't say anything, it could be seen from the expression on his face that he also thought that Li Xiang's training was a bit too intense. As a result, so much manpower and material resources were wasted, and our enemy was so weak.

"I know you are not convinced, but I told you in advance that attacking the city is easy. If you want to gain a foothold here, it may not be that simple. The training I have given you before will be put to use sooner or later."

Li Xiang also needs to remind these people. If others say this, I am afraid that the proud soldiers below will refute it immediately. You always say how powerful the enemy is, but we don’t even have two days. Yes, we have already fought from the border to Wacheng, and successfully occupied the largest city in the north of Pyu State. Is this all a lie?

But Li Xiang is their commander-in-chief, and he is the commander-in-chief who has always won victory. Li Xiang has fought more battles than they have ever seen. So when Li Xiang said this, many people still muttered in their hearts, could it be this? Does the country have a stronger military?

"Your Majesty, Cao Lian, goes to see His Highness."

Cao Lian said very excitedly that he was a small businessman himself and was on the verge of losing money. How could he wear this official uniform without Li Xiang? He and his men did a good job in the past few days. They first destroyed the supplies outside the city, and then persisted for such a long time. When our people rushed in, the Datang Guild Hall was still in our hands.

"Get up quickly. You are now a hero of our Tang Dynasty. I have heard about you on the road. Your hard work has not been in vain. But I can't give you much rest time. Does your injury bother you? ?”

Cao Lian's arm was hung. During the two days of attacks, he received a knife on his arm. Fortunately, he was not injured. The bones had been bandaged. If he did not go into battle, this injury would be nothing. , and it is impossible for Li Xiang to let it charge on the front line.

"It won't be a problem at all when you return to Your Highness. The Piao people's swords are very blunt."

Cao Lian's words also made everyone laugh. This person can persist in the city for three days without defeat. This is indeed a bit capable. You must know that not all of his people are regular soldiers, and some of them are retired. They can fight in the city. How can he be a simple person if he can persevere in such a situation?

"That's good. From now on, you will be the marching staff officer. You will stay under General Changsun's tent and accompany him to attack south. Take a rest tonight and continue south tomorrow."

No one present was surprised by Li Xiang's arrangement, because this is how Li Xiang fights, and speed determines everything. Before the enemy realizes it, our people have already rushed in front of you, so that we can be more effective. Only by winning with a high probability can the enemy be confused about our movements and be led by our noses all the time.

"I obey your orders."

Although Cao Lian is not a soldier, he has seen a lot of things on the battlefield. What's more, he has been living in an enemy country and is much more vigilant than ordinary people. He just stays by Changsun Ze's side, acting as a guide or Staff officer, that's absolutely fine.

Even if Li Xiang didn't say anything, Changsun Ze would have to find a staff officer. Their investigation only went to Wacheng. If they continued south, they would learn less information. Cao Lian is a good target. This person knows more about things in the south.

"Then let me test you first. I had General Chang Sun's men train for more than a year, but now their training has not been used. So where do you think their training will be used in the future? "

Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing else to do, Li Xiang also checked to see if Cao Lian was a competent marching staff officer. A whole lamb was already roasting on the fire next to him. Li Xiang cut a piece of meat and talked while eating.

Changsun Ze also pricked up his ears at this moment. Although he wanted to be a brave and resourceful Confucian, he knew that he was still far away from this goal, so as long as there was a chance on the battlefield, he must study hard. That's right. If you want to learn from someone, who can be more suitable than Li Xiang? This is the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiang was awarded the title of General Tiance. Although the Changsun brothers did not go back to watch the ceremony, they all got the news. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, it could be said that there were many powerful generals. Now, the whole Chang'an City is silent about this title. That shows that what? It shows that everyone is convinced by Li Xiang's title.

"For a battle on the frontal battlefield, maybe we only need to use three of our forces, but after we occupy this place, many people will definitely not be convinced. If they really run to the surrounding mountains, I think the training the generals receive should be It will be useful. At that time, small-scale wars will continue to appear and last for a long time."

After Cao Lian finished speaking, Li Xiang knew that he had really integrated into the local area and had a better understanding of the situation here.

"What you said is indeed true. Your marching staff officer is extremely qualified. General Changsun, can you understand the meaning of this king?"

Li Xiang knocked on the open space next to him with his bones. Only then did Changsun Ze understand what Li Xiang meant. It turns out that a head-on confrontation is not a problem. The most important thing is how to clean up the battlefield after the fight. That's what you should work hard for. when. (End of chapter)
