Chapter 134 Preemptive Strike

"Stop being ridiculous. How can you make random bets on important matters before the military?"

Qin Qiong saw Cheng Yaojin eager to make a bet with Li Xiang, and was immediately stuck on the matter. The two of them were of different generations. No matter who won or lost, this was not a good thing.

"According to what you said, Tuyuhun wants to negotiate terms with us, but why has it been three days since we retreated and no one has come?"

Qin Qiong said with some confusion. They had sent out scouts continuously in the past few days, but they didn't find any new movements in Tuyuhun.

"General, who doesn't want to raise his own status? If they come here in such a hurry, can we take them seriously? Let us wait for a few days and let us spend a few days. , the army here is not a small number every day, when we can no longer support it, we will naturally send people to find them first. "

Li Xiang's words made the two people understand instantly. No wonder the people in Tuyuhun are not in a hurry. They live here, and this is how the nomads live, so their expenses are not very big. On the other hand, we came all the way from Chang'an, and the locals The food was not edible, and all the food was transported from Guanzhong. The freight cost along the way was unbelievable. Therefore, every day of delay not only cost us money, but also cost us money. Maybe it’s our elan.

"These bastards are really smart, so we can't take the initiative to look for them. If we take the initiative to look for them, wouldn't we be inferior?"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head angrily. The army had just arrived a few days ago, and hundreds of thousands of dollars had already been spent. With more and more troops, if the other party still retreats like this, then even if we spend the money Even if it's light, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them.

"If you have a plan, tell it immediately. Don't you see that Brother Qin and I are both worried?"

Cheng Yaojin slapped Li Xiang on the shoulder, almost breaking Li Xiang's bones. This old guy's hands are so strong. None of the generals in the Tang Dynasty were vegetarians. No wonder they could help him. Li Shimin conquered the world and trampled so many heroes under his feet. After all, he really had a few brushes.

"Have all our people outside the city withdrawn?"

It was impossible for Li Xiang to make random decisions before he understood the situation, which could involve the lives of hundreds or thousands of people. Although Liangzhou City was the deepest place in Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty, there were many temporary gatherings outside the city. City, there are also many Han people living in it.

"When Tuyuhun raised his troops, the Han people outside the city had already begun to retreat. Now most of them have returned. Does this have anything to do with this incident?"

Cheng Chumo is responsible for this matter.

"Then there is nothing to worry about. If there are still people outside, then this plan may cause trouble. Since there are no more of us outside, it will be easier for us to handle it. On the south side and southwest of Liangzhou City On the other side, there are a total of twenty-five Tuyuhun tribes, and we are also familiar with their locations. At this moment, our army has not left Liangzhou City, and they are still stationed in the original place. We only need to send out a small group of elite troops to deal with these two If fifteen tribes carry out precise attacks, then their army will not be able to hold on any longer, and it will be beneficial to us whether it is peace or fighting."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, all the people present took a breath. Are you really just a teenager? If you open your mouth, you will eat twenty-five tribesmen. Although the tribes in Tuyuhun are not very big, each tribe must have hundreds or even thousands of people. If you want to follow what you said, eat these twenty-five tribes in one bite. All the tribesmen were eaten, and the Tuyuhun people were probably so angry that they were vomiting blood.

The generals in the camp looked at each other. Although Li Xiang's strategy was bold, it has to be said that it is very useful at the moment. As long as we can follow the plan, the situation in front of us will change instantly.

"If we want to use the army to wipe out their twenty-five tribes, the furthest distance from us is about two hundred miles, then we will also make a big noise. Their actions may not be absent in Liangzhou City. By then our actions may If we make a big discount, the results will be insufficient.”

Qin Huaiyu said with some worry, this guy is a practical person. Just now when everyone was meditating, he had already marked out all the twenty-five tribes, and they were arranged like a dense cluster of stars in the south and south of Liangzhou City. southwest.

"Brother Qin, what are you talking about? If we make a plan, it must be 100% successful. If this is the case, then we should stop doing anything. Everything we do is risky. But as long as there is more than half a chance in our favor, then we should do it.”

Li Xiang no longer cares about his seniority. As long as he meets the second-generation generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang will basically call him eldest brother. Everyone also knows about Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Jingde, so when Li Xiang speaks like this , Qin Huaiyu didn't feel anything was wrong. It didn't mean that he had to pretend to be an elder and let people call him uncle.

"I like to hear this. In the early years when I followed His Majesty to conquer the country, as long as it was profitable, we would definitely pounce on it. In recent years, we have gained a reputation and planned and planned everything, but it only restrained us. We may not necessarily capture all twenty-five tribes, but as long as we can defeat a dozen of them and create panic in the border areas, their army will not be able to sit still."

Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and said loudly that he was no longer willing to stay in the city. He finally got an opportunity to fight. If he had to stay in the city every day, he might as well go back to Chang'an City. Why bother? How dare you ask for this task so shamelessly?

Qin Qiong nodded beside him. It was indeed the same as what Cheng Yaojin said. The Tang Dynasty has become more and more prestigious in recent years. When fighting, everyone has more worries and no longer has the same courage as before.

"Do you have any other objections? If you don't have any objections, then we will take action directly later today. Each of us will bring a troop of troops. We will leave the city in the middle of the night and return to the city at dawn. We will kill as many as we can."

General Qin Qiong thought about it for a stick of incense, and finally considered all the details before making up his mind.

"The last general takes command!"

More than a dozen generals present knelt down one after another. The first battle between Datang and Tuyuhun was about to begin. They never thought of taking the initiative. They originally thought they were going to defend Liangzhou City, but they were led by Li Xiang to kill first. The grassland.
