? Ten days later, the scouts heard from the front about the sending troops from Tubo and Tuyuhun.

Songtsen Gampo and Tuyuhun Khan were very angry at the indifference of the Tang Dynasty. What made the two kings even more unbearable was that they actually heard that the Northern King Li Ke killed the elite men of the Tubo and Tuyuhun tribes in order to inspire the morale of the army. Therefore, the two countries once again joined forces to each other to issue 200,000 elite soldiers, a total of 400,000 troops, and commander Lu Dongzan came from Lanxiang Liangzhou.

Li Ke laughed it off when he received this news. He knew very well that Tubo and Tuyuhun had sent troops when the peace talks were not successful. As for saying that he had killed the captives of Tubo and Tuyuhun, it was definitely another bad excuse for sending troops. However, since Li Ke knew that Tubo and Tuyuhun had sent troops, he still remained in Liangzhou City. In fact, he himself knew very well that it was not advisable to let Tubo and Tuyuhun soldiers surrounded Liangzhou City, trap more than 100,000 troops, and let them free up other cavalry to capture nearby prefectures and counties. Although, you can rely on the city of Liangzhou and

The 400,000 coalition forces can reduce casualties. But this is not Li Ke's combat style. He feels that he cannot sit and wait for death with such a powerful cavalry in his hand and must take the initiative to attack. The reason why he has not moved when the Tubo and Tuyuhun army have sent troops is that Li Ke has his own idea, that is, he wants to find out the terrain between the 500 miles of the tumult Lan and Liangzhou. He is very clear that the reason why Li Ji was defeated was closely related to his unfamiliar with the plateau terrain. Therefore, the purpose of asking Wang Zhongchang to send a thousand Eagle Guards this time is to find out the terrain of thousands of miles.

And in the past few days, Li Yan and Li Zong also arrived in the army.

In four years, Li Yan and Li Zong have been tempered into young people with firm personality, calmness and generosity.

Li Ke was also happy to see the changes of his two younger brothers. Then, he divided the Chongqi Camp into 20,000 troops and gave Li Yan and Li Zong 10,000, and asked the two to lead the Chongqi Camp.

Li Yan and Li Zong were very happy when they saw Li Ke bringing the heavy cavalry camp to him, and there were 10,000 troops. They promised Li Ke that he would never let him down.

Li Ke was extremely happy when he saw the two of them full of confidence!

At this time, Sun Erlang, who had written a letter to the court, rushed to Liangzhou.

Sun Erlang came to Liangzhou and went directly to the General's Mansion.

In the study of Li Ke of the General's Mansion, Sun Erlang met Li Ke.

"I will meet your highness at the end!" Sun Erlang excitedly saluted Li Ke.

"Haha, I didn't expect that if you haven't seen each other for four years, have you changed a lot?" Li Ke smiled and said, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, these four years have passed very hard, and there is no war. The last general has become obese and dull. Therefore, Your Highness is eager to attack the last general, and the last general is whipping up the horse day and night. Only then did you feel Liangzhou today!" Sun Erlang also sighed.

"Erlang! I will not give you cavalry when I summon you to Liangzhou. Cavalry has its limitations in the northwest and it is difficult to exert great power. Infantry will play a key role in future wars." Li Ke said lightly, "So, I want to hand you 30,000 infantry to train you to become elite troops. Do you have confidence?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the last general will never let you down!" Sun Erlang immediately assured Li Ke. What is the difference between cavalry and infantry for him? As long as there is a war, as long as you can fight on the battlefield, you can shine your ancestors.

"Okay, then you go and rest first. When the rest is done, go to the Yan tribe to collect military talismans and weapons. Armor. I have initially selected 30,000 archers and 5,000 archers. Since you are the chief general of infantry, you will be responsible for the selection of soldiers. If you lack anything and want, tell the Yan tribe that I will be the 30,000 tiger and wolf army army in half a year."

"No" Sun Erlang said loudly.

Immediately, Li Ke and Sun Erlang chatted for a while before the tiger general left the study.

Li Ke appointed Sun Erlang as the chief infantry general and gave him half a year. He never thought that Sun Erlang would give him the ability to train a silence of the Mo Dao within half a year. He just hoped that Sun Erlang could train an elite infantry and act as a surprise weapon in the battle against Tubo and Tuyuhun of the Tang Dynasty.

Five days later, the scout reported that the coalition forces had 400,000 troops divided into three groups, and the central army was only 200 miles away from Liangzhou.

After listening to the report, Li Ke smiled faintly and walked for five days. This was like a turtle crawler for Tubo and Tuyuhun cavalry, but Li Ke did not dare to underestimate Lu Dongzan at all. From this point, we can see that Lu Dongzan's marching is accurate, which is to take steady steps. He was afraid that he would ambush the troops halfway, so that the marching speed would be so slow.

It seems that I want to fight wits and courage with Lu Dongzan! Li Ke smiled faintly and ordered Wang Zhongchang to beat the drums and gather the generals.

The Liangzhou military camp is the commander's tent.

Li Ke sat upright in the middle of the commander's tent, with military generals standing on both sides, namely the military Sima Xu Jingzong, the infantry general Sun Erlang, Li Yan and Li Zong, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Guo, Hou Hu and Zheyu.

Li Ke looked at everyone and sighed in his heart that except for Sun Erlang, there was no general around him who coordinated the overall situation. Although Xue Rengui and Yuwen Guo had good military command capabilities, the two were still in short qualifications and had short time to lead troops. It was impossible for them to be an old fox opponent like Lu Dongzan.

"See the Grand Chief!" The generals saluted Li Ke.

"Sit down!" Li Ke said lightly.

After the chief general sat down, Li Ke said, "Tubo and Tuyuhun had 400,000 troops in three groups to besiege our Liangzhou. The purpose is very obvious, and they are to break through Liangzhou City in one fell swoop. Tell me what you think!"

Now, Li Ke has 35,000 infantrymen, 30,000 heavy cavalry, 30,000 wolf cavalry and ghost-face cavalry, 20,000 Youzhou iron cavalry and 20,000 Turkic cavalry, and the total force is more than 100,000 points. No matter whether you go out of the city to fight or defend the city, you are no match for the forty armies of Tubo and Tuyuhun.

Therefore, as soon as his topic was opened, all the generals fell into deep thought and did not dare to speak.

After a while, Xue Renguikai said, "Your Highness, our troops are weak, and Tubo and Tuyuhun are strong, but they divide their troops into three groups. The three groups of troops must be divided into strength and weakness. Why don't we take the circumcision as the straightforward and attack the weakest one?"

"Yeah!" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, "Xue Li, your suggestion is good! According to the scout's reply, the middle lane is Lu Dongzan's army, with about 200,000 people, and there are 100,000 elite cavalry on both sides. Lu Dongzan can naturally think of the strategy you think of, and what he wants is our attack on the weakest one and the other two sides form a siege against us! Therefore, our combat plan is to attack his 200,000 army of the central lane."

Li Ke's words were loud and profoundly shocked the generals present.

Because Li Ke's tactical military moves are a real sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Because Lu Dongzan's central army was still in the middle position, as long as the middle army was ambushed, both left and right could be slow, so that the three armies of Tubo and Tuyuhun would form a siege against the Tang army.

"However, before this, we must do the right way, that is, we also divide three armies, both left and right to target the enemy's left and right armies. These two armies cannot fight with the enemy, and can only lure the enemy and exhaust the enemy, and then wait for an opportunity to escape the enemy's pursuit and ambush the predetermined position. The middle army attracts Lu Dongzan's eyes and shifts to the enemy's left armies, causing Lu Dongzan to attack his left armies, and let him take the initiative to return to support and enter our ambush circle!" Li Ke said his thoughts lightly.

Seeing everyone thinking, Li Ke did not speak, but asked everyone to digest his strategy and tactics just now.

After a while, the generals digested Li Ke's strategy and agreed.

"Since everyone has no problem, then I will give an order!" Li Ke said lightly. As soon as he said this, the generals stood up and faced him and waited for the military order.

"Xue Li, you are leading 20,000 Turkic cavalry to deal with the enemy's left-wing army." Li Ke ordered.

"No" Xue Rengui received the order.

"Zheyu, don't lead the Ghost Face Rider to deal with the enemy's right-wing army." Li Ke ordered.

"No" Zheyu received the order.

"You just need to lure the enemy and make these two armies mess up your own positions. Then you sneak in behind the Lu Dongzan Central Army. When I attacked Lu Dongzan Central Army, we would come out from the rear. We divided our troops into three groups to annihilate Lu Dongzan's Central Army in one fell swoop." Li Ke explained his tactics to the two in detail.

"No!" The two of them left the handsome account.

"Sun Erlang, you lead 30,000 infantrymen to capture the city!" Li Ke ordered.

"No" Sun Erlang received the order.

"Li Yan, Li Zong, Hou Hu, Yuwen Guo, you will be in charge of the army and follow me out of the city now!" Li Ke ordered.

"No" Li Yan, Li Zong, Hou Hu and Yuwen Guo took the order and left the military camp with great strides.

Not long after, Wang Zhongchang walked into the tent to report to Li Ke, and the troops from all walks of life were ready to go, waiting for Li Ke's orders.

Li Ke walked out of the handsome account, rode a little white horse, held a horse spear in his hand, and came to the training ground.

When they arrived at the school ground, the left and right armies and the central army were ready to go. Li Ke gave the order and the army slowly left Liangzhou City.
