Chapter 352
Zhang Xun's words had just been spoken, and several other people nodded in agreement.
They all thought that Li Yan had been the emperor for several months, and for a moment, this identity might not be changed. He still wanted to go up on the battlefield.
Zhang Xun believed that even if he and Lei Wanchun left, they might not be as good as Li Qing in terms of adaptability in wars, but the 50,000 cavalry who have been through the battlefield for a long time are not a joke.
Moreover, the battlefield is still in Shuofang. The tens of thousands of Shuofang troops led by Guo Ziyi are also elite soldiers. If the Shuofang army can really be destroyed, even if the enemy dispatches tens of thousands of troops, the result will not be too good.
"No, I have to go there in person. I have thought about it all. But this time I go to Shuofang, I still have to go there in person. On the one hand, the veteran General Guo Ziyi may not be able to return to Chang'an City this time. Without him, I would not be today in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe the world belongs to An Lushan. For this point, I have to do my best. Besides, have you ever thought about why the Uighurs and Tubo people finally joined forces to march together this time, so why did they target General Guo Ziyi? Even if they seized Shuofang's land, what could it be?"
After Li Yan said this, several people fell into deep thought again.
"Okay, just do what I said. I will stay with you. If you can't help the matter in the court, read the letter in front of them and tell them that I am going to send Guo Ziyi on behalf of my Tang Dynasty!"
The incident happened too suddenly, and Li Qing's idea was quite firm, which made the few people almost lose the courage to refute. After hesitating for a moment, they went back and prepared to go.
Although Chen Zhibao was a little surprised by his mission, he also knew that Chang'an City was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Since he was in charge of the imperial guards, he had to put the safety of Chang'an City first. Moreover, there were Lei Wanchun who was ruthless and talkative, who was basically relieved.
Li said it was two hours, that was two hours. Two hours later, Lei Wanchun and Zhang Xun had already completed the army at the cavalry barracks outside Chang'an City, and Li Wu also rode his horse to the gate of the barracks in armor.
The team of these cavalrymen were the cavalry trained by Li Yi in Sui Yang. They almost knew Li Yi's face. When they saw that Li Yi appeared here in person, the soldiers were also nervous. They could not imagine what could make the emperor go to war in person, but one thing was certain, that was it would not be a trivial matter.
Before going to war, Li Neng summoned all the generals in charge to his side. Although Guo Ziyi's attack was not a glorious thing, Li Neng has always advocated that you have to let the soldiers under your command know what they are doing and what kind of enemies they are facing. Only in this way can they exert their true combat power.
"Soldiers, I just received the news that the Uighurs and Tubo tribes gathered tens of thousands of people to raid the Shuofang Army barracks of our Tang Dynasty. When the news came out, our Shuofang Army soldiers were led by General Guo Ziyi to fight back. However, the enemy's number was huge and planning to hide secrets. After I received the report, I could only rush to the Shuofang Army barracks as fast as possible. You are the most elite cavalry in our Tang Dynasty. This time, whether General Guo Ziyi and Shuofang Army can escape the trap depends on you."
"Of course, these soldiers know what Guo Ziyi means to the Tang Dynasty, and also know what age Guo Ziyi is now. What would happen if he was attacked when the two tribes were supposed to be the least willing to launch troops."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we must do our best to arrive at Shuofang at full speed and repel all the thieves from the alien race!"
The soldiers below heard Li Neng's words and were very motivated. It was exactly the effect Li Neng thought of, so he didn't say much nonsense anymore. He waved his hand and said a word, and the army set off.
Until this time, what exactly did Li Neng plan? He still didn't reveal any information about how to fight this battle there. Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun waited patiently to set off at the army, and finally couldn't help but arrive at Li Neng and asked about his plan.
"Your Majesty, we just went directly. Once we really arrived at the base of the Shuofang Army and the battle over there has been finished, wouldn't it be easy to be attacked by the enemy? Although the combat effectiveness of our 50,000 cavalry is amazing, if the enemy is determined and unintentional, and we are raiding for a long distance..."
Although Zhang Xun's statement was a bit pessimistic, he also knew that at this time, he would definitely need to say these possible situations they might encounter in front of Li Qing. It doesn't matter whether Li Qing likes to listen or not.
The most important thing for them now is that the emperor Li Yan has come out. Although they can't stop him, they must ensure that Li Yan has no mistakes in this expedition. Otherwise, the little momentum that the Tang Dynasty had just shown to be raised will be immediately extinguished. Not to mention anything else, Li Yan still doesn't even have a young master.
"I naturally have some conspiracy in my heart. When we get out of the gate, General Lei will lead 10,000 troops to open the way. We will bring the remaining troops to set a distance with General Lei. General Lei does not matter what method is used. Once the enemy detects your existence, you must let the enemy guess that I am in your team, but you cannot make them suspicious."
After hearing Li Wen's order, Lei Wanchun frowned first, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can do this."
"Okay! General Lei will set out first when we rest for the first time. Once we encounter the enemy, don't fight. This time we are not trying to eliminate many enemy troops, but to see if we can rescue some of the Shuofang Army!"
After receiving this seemingly simple order, Lei Wanchun did not ask much, but just nodded and followed up.
However, Zhang Xun heard a lot from Li Neng's orders. With his mind, he combined some of the things in Guo Ziyi's letters with what Li Neng said, and immediately had some good ideas in his mind.
"Your Majesty means that this time the two tribes raided the Shuofang Army through a lot of trouble. In fact, the real purpose was not Guo Ziyi, but to use Guo Ziyi's name..."
