Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

According to Changsun Wuji's understanding of Du He, he knew that Du He was a sinister and cunning person, but not stubborn and self-willed.

If he were to think normally, Du He would definitely summarize the shortcomings of the previous battles with the generals, and then formulate appropriate new tactics based on the previous series of defeats.

Now Du He was in a different situation. He just listened to Su Dingfang's report on the battle situation and then directly formulated the next battle plan.

So weird!

Just when Changsun Wuji was full of doubts, Du He said with a serious expression.

"Generals, in light of the two previous major defeats, I believe that we haven't done enough to address the details. We must pay more attention to the details!"

"The war will begin again in 10 days. Generals, please tell us how we should fight this battle!"

After hearing what Du He said, the doubts in the hearts of Changsun Wuji and the generals were dispelled.

They thought Du He had already worked out a comprehensive battle plan, but it turned out that he had only a rough idea, so there was nothing strange about it.

After two hours of discussion, all the details, big and small, were finally finalized.

Du He slowly stood up and said with a serious expression.

"Generals, listen!"

When they heard that Du He was going to issue a military order, all the generals in the hall stood up with serious expressions.

Du He swept his sharp eyes over everyone, then spoke loudly.

"Before the army sets out, all soldiers must stay in their respective camps and refrain from going to the surrounding cities to challenge the Western Turks!"

"In 10 days, the entire army will attack. We will raid Baishui Hu City at night!"

Currently, more than 10 Tang troops are distributed in Kucha, Khotan and Shule for rest and recuperation, of which 5 are the main force in Kucha.

There was a pause.

Du He continued, "In this crucial battle, I and Duke Zhao will personally lead the army to capture Yibi Duolu, the Khan of Beiting, the Western Turkic Khanate!"

what!

The Duke of Han and the Duke of Zhao personally led the army to war?

This is too reckless!

Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the other side, turned pale when he heard that Du He wanted to drag him into battle.

Changsun Wuji clenched his fists and cursed Du He in his heart.

"Shuzi!"

"Go and die yourself, don't frame me!"

Judging from the performance of the Western Turks in recent battles, it can be seen that their combat capability is not weak at all, and their morale is also very high.

In this situation, he dared to lead the army into battle personally. Did Du He really think of himself as a general who was both civil and military?

Gone!

This guy has won several battles and almost forgot that he is just a weak civil official!

Du He raised his eyebrows: "Why? Want to disobey the order?"

As Du He's murderous voice fell, everyone responded loudly.

"As ordered!"

Du He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down and rest. Regain your energy over the next few days. We will fight to decide the outcome!"

The generals bowed again and then strode out of the hall with their heads held high.

In the empty lobby, only Du He and Changsun Wuji were left.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Sun Wuji looked at Du He, who was calmly drinking tea, and he couldn't help but remind him, "Duke Han, is our strategy for this battle so simple?"

"Isn't it necessary to send several large armies out in advance to guard the key roads to prevent further ambushes by the main force of the Western Turks?"

"Besides, you and I have similar martial arts skills. How can you personally lead the army in a night attack?"

Ha ha!

If they really sent a large army out to clear the way, how would the Western Turks dare to continue to ambush them?

The strategy he was formulating now was intended to achieve this kind of effect with many loopholes.

Du He said confidently: "Don't worry, Duke Zhao, the Western Turks are all a bunch of idiots. They can't possibly predict our second attack!"

"As the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the army, we must lead by example!"

"Why are you always scared?"

Well...

Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly froze.

He frowned and said, "Duke Han, what if the Western Turks guess our intentions in advance and ambush us halfway?"

absurd!

It's so ridiculous!

In this battle arrangement, the abilities and attitudes displayed by Du He were completely different from before.

Changsun Wuji had a bad feeling in his heart, he always felt that something would go wrong in this battle.

"Will the whole army be wiped out?"

Thinking of this result, Changsun Wuji's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

It wouldn't matter if Du He came alone. He wished Du He would die in Western Turkestan.

But he is now tied to Du He, and he is leading the army to fight personally. If something happens to Du He, he will not be able to escape death.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Duke Zhao. In a foreign battle in the wilderness, our Tang army can destroy a Western Turkic army more than three times its size."

"It's fine if they don't leave the city, but once they do, that's their death!"

Madness!

If the strength of the Western Turks was really so weak, Hou Junji should have destroyed the Western Turks when he was ambushed in the first two battles!

He had been in the military for more than ten years, and he was always terrified every time he followed Du He to war.

There is always a feeling that I will die at any time, but I can't die.

Zhang Sun Wuji said with a dark face, "Duke Han, leading the army to attack at night is risky. Are you really not afraid of death?"

"How about the two of us stay in Yiluolu City and wait for good news from the various armies?"

Seeing that His Majesty is about to pass away, how can we take such a risky action?

I don’t know what Du He is thinking, he is like a stupid donkey!

Du He said with a serious face, "Duke Zhao, as the commander of the army, you should lead by example. Even if we die on the battlefield, we will leave our names in history!"

Fuck leaving a name in history!

If you don’t even have a life, what’s the point of having this false reputation?

Changsun Wuji knew that Du He was a stubborn person, and even if he talked till his mouth dried today, Du He would not change his mind.

He stood up and saluted, saying, "Lord Han Guo, I'm a little upset. I'm going to go out and inspect the camp now!"

"Go."

Du He smiled and waved.

Only after Changsun Wuji's figure completely disappeared did Du He put down the teacup and his face became extremely grim.

He stood up and looked at the marching map on the wall, then murmured softly.

"The bait has been released, now it depends on whether the big fish will take it!"

...

in the afternoon.

Several figures walked out of different tents. They rode fast horses and left Yiluolu City, heading towards the direction where the rest of the Tang army was stationed.

Shortly after these soldiers rode away, several more cavalrymen followed them from a distance.

Later, other soldiers left Yiluolu City, and there were also people following behind them.

Time passed by minute by minute and night fell quickly.

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

The room where Du He was was brightly lit. He and Fang Yiai were drinking tea and chatting about the past.

Looking at the two of them with smiles on their faces, they look like a pair of close friends.

Chatted for a while.

Fang Yiai hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Brother Du, are Princess Gaoyang and my offspring all right?"

"Did Gao Yang do anything wrong?"

puff~

When Du He heard Fang Yiai's question, he couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.

How should he answer this?

If he knew Gao Yang's private affairs, wouldn't that mean he was monitoring Gao Yang?

Du He shook his head and said, "Brother Fang, your son Shouzhen is a strong and sturdy boy with a physique very similar to yours, but he looks like you.

"As for Princess Gaoyang's private affairs, how could I know?"
