Martial Sage

Seeing that the tea shop's business became regular day by day, Tang Hao felt quite relieved.

During this period of time, the story of Tang Hao's raid on Yinshan and Wang Tao in Chang'an City was still exaggerated in Chang'an City.

Mid-September.

A message from the north was secretly passed into the palace.

The Turks knocked off.

At this time, Cheng Chu sat quietly in front of Tang Hao, and said angrily.

"Brother Tang, I just heard about the battle report of the Northern Territory in the Ministry of War. The northern border checkpoint, Lingyan Fort, was broken by 3,000 Turkic cavalry. The 290 Datang soldiers in the fort stood by for three days, and they died in battle without assistance. ."

Having said this, Cheng Chumer paused, took a sip of wine, his eyes flushed, and said in a deep voice.

"This level was originally built to monitor the movements of the Turks. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also difficult for the Turkic soldiers to trample on them by turns.

Hearing this news, Tang Hao fell silent.

On the battlefield, the death of two or three hundred people is nothing, but it depends on how they sacrificed.

Those two hundred and ninety Tang soldiers went deep into the most dangerous grassland area, forming a first line of defense in the north with their flesh and blood, and approaching the edge of Death again and again in exchange for news of the Turkic soldiers' movements.

In the end, unfortunately, he fell under the iron cavalry of the Turkic soldiers. The news sounded awe-inspiring and mixed with endless sadness.

Two people who have experienced the Battle of Yinshan together can fully appreciate the feeling of being alone and helpless, and even more the despair of facing the encirclement of several times the enemy.

Tang Hao's expression was extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Is it possible that Li Xiaogong, who is the coach, doesn't pay attention to the checkpoint ahead?"

Cheng Chumo looked at the empty wine bowl in front of him blankly and muttered.

"Li Xiaogong gathered the soldiers and horses of the Quartet to the front line of Deyang, so that the Tang army on the Datong line gathered all the way to the Datong Mansion. After preparing for the big battle, he did not send his troops to rescue him."

After listening, Tang Hao punched the case in front of him.

Tang Hao couldn't understand what Li Xiaogong, as the coach, was thinking.

The battle has not yet begun. Only three thousand soldiers patrolled and besieged Lingyan Fort. Li Xiaogong could lead a thousand cavalrymen to go, and within a day, he would be able to rescue the two hundred and ninety people, but Li Xiaogong went. Did not do so.

These are two hundred and ninety vivid lives, so they were ruined!

Thinking of the battle against the Turks, Tang Hao settled down and analyzed.

"Judging from the current layout, Li Xiaogong still plans to start a decisive battle with the Turkic soldiers on the front line of Deyang, and gain wisdom from a ditch. In order to prevent the Turks from attacking the western line again, Li Xiaogong has arranged the Datong side in advance."

Cheng Chumo slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Haodao.

"General Li, still be extra careful. This layout is still based on stability."

Hearing this, Tang Hao snorted in his heart and said lightly.

"This kind of layout can be regarded as seamless. No matter which line the Turkic army attacks, it is bound to be a big battle. It is indeed a good thing to fight steadily and steadily."

Having said this, Tang Hao took a sip of wine and stared at Cheng Chu silently.

"However, facing the northern grassland tribe, it is impossible to win by relying solely on stability."

"These barbarians in the north are all cavalry. They move very fast. They fight when they want to fight, and retreat when they want. If they can't cut their back, even if they are defeated by the frontal battlefield, they can still escape."

Cheng Chu nodded silently, sighed, and said.

"Once there is a way for them to slip back to the grassland, the world is theirs on the grassland. If you want to pull them out of the grassland again, it will be extremely difficult."

The two looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's heart.

As two new generals who have fought against the Turks, they are familiar with the way they fight against the Turks.

So the discussion here is just a discussion.

After all, the control of the war, the grand strategy, and the grand tone are things that the chief generals and coaches consider.

As for small characters like Tang Hao and Cheng Chumo, they are just the lowest level among the generals.

Cheng Chumo's position as a Ranger General bestowed by the King of Tang Dynasty was the lowest rank among the determined generals.

As for Tang Hao, due to his previous merit in making horseshoes, he was promoted by King Tang and became General Dingyuan.

General Dingyuan, the military commander on the fifth rank and scattered officers, among the military officers, can be regarded as the middle-level official in the true sense.

In the army, he can handle one army, but he is only a general in charge of five thousand people.

Compared to General Ning Yuan, it was only half a rank higher in official rank, and there were more troops in charge.

That's the case, Tang Hao still doesn't have much right to interrupt in such a state affairs. Especially compared to Li Xiaogong, who controls more than one hundred thousand coaches, Tang Hao is nothing but a small official.

Naturally, Tang Hao has no right to make any comments on Li Xiaogong's decision.

As for Li Xiaogong's performance, Tang Hao also had some suspicions in his heart.

Regarding the war in the northern border, 80% of the Tang king would no longer use this cautious Hejian county king.

As for the coach, if Tang Hao had a good idea, he should send Li Jing.

Of course, this was only Tang Hao's guess. For Tang Hao, it was necessary to formalize all of Own's affairs before leaving for the Northern Territory.

For example, not being branded by the Wei Wangdang.

For another example, if you have full control of Dali Temple, you can still remotely control major events in Chang'an from the front lines of the northern border.
