Chapter 144: Please enter the urn

Luo Shixin learned that the Xi clan was separated by Gao Kaidao, and could not help but punch the air, and everything was under control.

The key to this battle is to regain Yuyang. Only by regaining Yuyang and defending Yuyang can it be considered a victory. If it were someone else, he would definitely stop here after a surprise attack on Yuyang. The strategic purpose is greater than anything else. Taking Yuyang in hand, taking it as a stronghold, consolidating the Great Wall defense line is the hard truth, and only this is the long-term solution.

Be more greedy, there will be more changes. If an accident occurs and Yuyang fails to win, it will cause all previous efforts to be wasted. Even if you win elsewhere, it will be useless to win no matter how beautiful you are. Youzhou will still be attacked next year.

This is also the importance of strategy, which is far more important than tactics and temporary victory.

The existence of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in history perfectly interpreted this point: Xiang Yu was invincible in battle, but because of strategic mistakes, the weaker the stronger the better. Liu Bang lost in every battle, but because of strategic victory, the stronger the stronger the defeat. In the end, he succeeded, forcing the arrogant King of Western Chu to commit suicide in Wujiang.

Luo Shixin was not unable to see through this point, and did not know the importance of strategy, but he just couldn't do enough rationality and couldn't let go of the fire in his heart.

The Xi tribe invaded, burned, killed, looted, destroyed the China National Park, killed the Chinese compatriots, and robbed the supplies exchanged for the blood and sweat of the people. He was unwilling to let the Xi tribe leave safely with the spoils they stolen.

Even if he knew that 100% control of Yuyang was the most correct choice, he didn't want to choose. Especially after the tragic situation in Gu'an County, he became more determined to pay for his blood debts.

So what Luo Shixin considered at the beginning was not how to achieve the strategic location of occupying Yuyang. Instead, while completing this strategic location, he also wanted to let the Xi tribe know that the Tang Dynasty was not a place where he could come whenever he wanted to come or leave whenever he wanted.

With Luo Shixin's strength and the strength of his hands, he could despise Gao Kaidao or the Xi army without hesitation. It would not be very difficult for him to do anything. However, it would be difficult to win Yuyang and defeat the Xi army with 50,000 soldiers. The difficulty had risen a lot. This was not a simple physical formula of one plus one equals two. Mixing them together may also lead to the giant Turks, making the situation even more confusing.

Because of all kinds of concerns, how to kill two birds with one stone is a problem that Luo Shixin has been considering all the way. After thinking about it, he finally grasped the small issue of the Xi clan. Gao Kaidao's general has different positions and formulated this plan.

Gao Kaidao's survival is basically Yuyang. So for Yuyang, he can fight everything about himself.

But the Xi tribe is different. They are full of harvests, and their purpose is to withdraw back to the grassland as soon as possible. The materials they plundered were equipped with horses and camels and carriages, which greatly reduced the speed of the march, and moved faster than the infantry of the Tang army. In this case, letting the Tang soldiers entangled them will bring them immeasurable losses. If they go to help Gao Kaidao, it means they will be caught up by 50,000 Tang troops. At that time, Gao Kaidao occupied Yuyang and rested on his worries. How could they get rid of the Tang army that had been following? Do you still expect Gao Kaidao to give up the guards of Yuyang and escort along the way? Also, Gao Kaidao was attacked, and the Turks would definitely get the future. If the Turks saw that they had received so many spoils, who could guarantee that they would not be coveted?

Luo Shixin developed the idea of ​​transfiguration. From Gao Kaidao's perspective, King Xi's thinking realized that the first cooperation between them had various contradictions. It was not a lack of trust, but a lack of trust at all. It was because of the driving force of interests. The interests were cut off, and the relationship between them was undoubtedly broken.

Seeing this, Luo Shixin boldly developed his layout and went to Yuyang to break the relationship between them. He led them to cause internal strife for the sake of interests to separate them and defeat them one by one.

When Luo Shixin went to Goguryeo, in order to avoid the territory of Gaokaidao, he took a long way to go around Panshe Valley and bypass Yuyang, and went east through the grassland. He walked through Panshe Valley and knew that it was the only passage to the grassland except Yuyang. The terrain was dangerous and extremely difficult to walk. It was suitable for ambushing and would be a must for the Xi tribe at that time.

After the Xi tribe was broken, they returned to attack Yuyang. Yuyang had no food, no city gate, and no city guarding equipment. Even the arrow Luo Shixin asked Su Dingfang to bring the ones that could not bring. Even if Gao Kaidao urgently repaired the city gate and made some simple defensive equipment, they would not be able to resist the elites in Luo Shixin's hands with ten thousand soldiers.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Luo Shixin knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, nor could he be 100% sure about the Xi clan. There would definitely be internal strife between Gao Kaidao, and his heart would be gripped.

After getting the exact news, the big stone in my heart finally landed.

"Follow up and speed up the march!" Luo Shixin had the spirit of a general who was determined to win a thousand miles. He raised his whip and pointed the three armies to move forward.

************

After King Xi Ah Huiruo and Gao Kaidao separated, the pain of losing his son was much less unexpected.

He actually didn't really feel sorry for his son. The grassland people have the habit of preying on the weak and are very indifferent to life and death. Ah Huiruo did not have only one son, but this time the robbery went very smoothly. In the end, he died alone and suffered a serious price. He felt very unbalanced.

Now that Gao Kaidao's Yuyang is falling, Gao Kaidao pays ten times more than him, so naturally it has washed away his imbalance and become gloating.

He knew that it was the Turks who rejected Gao Kaidao's intention to rob Youzhou that chose their Xi tribe. Although this time the harvest was a great harvest, I don't know when it will be the next time. Anyway, the Turks were in the end, and he really didn't care who Yuyang was in the hands of the moment.

At this moment, he only cared about what he had received. Bringing this wealth back to the tribe could at least guarantee the tribe's basic expenses for two years.

In a relaxed mood, Ah Huiru talked and laughed with the chief beside him, talking about his yearning for the future of the tribe.

"King Xi..." When they were talking about the rise, a scout with a large and small package hanging on his body came to the front panting and shouted: "No, Tang Bing and Tang Bing are catching up, right behind us."

Ah Huiru's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "How is that possible!" As the king of a clan, Ah Huiru still has a certain military level. According to the current situation, Li Tang's control of Yuyang is the top priority. He thought that as long as he led the Xi clan and Gao Kaidao to part ways, Li Tang would be happy to cover up Gao Kaidao and use his absolute advantage in military strength to take control of Yuyang's strategic location.

No matter how he did, he would never have thought that the Tang army would follow him all the way. Could it be that the commanders of the Tang army were all fools, and that Yuyang could not see such a key strategic location?

"Is it because he killed too much that aroused Luo Shixin's temper?" This thought flashed through Ah Huiruo's heart and complained in his heart. If he had known that this battle shouldn't have been fought today, it would be great if he had been peacefully retreating his troops.

"I'm afraid of a bird!" Du Jihu, the chief of the Duji tribe, spitted and cursed: "This group of bastards really think I'm easy to bully. King, why don't we catch up and let them know the power of our Xi tribe's warriors. I thought it would be great to win a Turkic miscellaneous. If our Xi tribe hadn't had a population that could not match their Turkic miscellaneous, it would be their turn to be arrogant."

The chief of the Aoshima tribe, Aoshima, smiled bitterly and said, "Fight, what are we going to fight! Look at our soldiers..."

Du Jihu glanced at him from both sides and lost his voice.

Originally, they plundered Youzhou, and the characteristic warehouse sent troops to guard the supplies, but they didn't know how much they had harvested. Now that they have retreated in full, they found that the plundered food, money, treasures and equipment were too much, and they were hard to carry nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. They had to throw away some cheap supplies, but even so, they were carrying horses, and even scouts who valued mobility were jingling.

Unless they lost all the plundered materials, the Xi soldiers would not have the power to fight at all.

"Retreat!" Ah Huiru shouted, "Let's go faster, and Panshe Valley is ahead. I have been here in the early years. The road there is like a big snake, winding, difficult to walk, easy to defend, and not conducive to attack. We first rushed to Panshe Valley and left some people to guard the entrance of the valley. The others took all their supplies through Panshe Valley as soon as possible. As long as they passed Panshe Valley, there was a grassland opposite, I don't believe that Luo Shixin had the courage to go deep into the grassland to chase us."

When Ao Shunan and Du Jihu were all great, they shouted and sent orders to speed up the marches.

The people were tired, and Ah Huiru and his group finally arrived at Panshe Valley.

In the earliest Spring and Autumn Period, Panshe Valley was a steep mountain with no road to the grassland. Therefore, in the past, Yan State repaired the Great Wall and did not build a pass here. Until the Western Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the crust was shifted due to a strong earthquake, and a mountain collapsed and broken, and a dangerous road was added. Then hunters discovered that it became a military secret passage. A hundred years later, this secret passage was like Ziwu Valley, and everyone knew it.

Because the Turks controlled the portal of the Tang Dynasty and were invading the right path of the gate, this military secret passage became a useless waste, and only a few bold merchants who evade taxes would pass by here at the risk of encountering criminals.

When he arrived at Panshe Valley, Ah Hui's vest was soaked with sweat stains on his forehead, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their speed made the Tang soldiers led by Luo Shixin approached step by step. He was worried that the Tang army would catch up before arriving at Panshe Valley, forcing them to abandon all their supplies to fight.

Killing one thousand enemies will hurt yourself by eight hundred. No matter what the winner is, it is not what he is willing to see.

Now that I have entered Panshe Valley, there is a way out in front and a barrier behind. If you are sure to win, your whole feeling will be different.
