The reason why Li Liangzuo asked to personally lead the troops to go, in addition to this breath, there is also the most important reason is to deter the various tribes in the territory of the Black Khan Dynasty, although Li Liangzuo now basically controls the entire Black Khan Dynasty, but the real control is only the major cities, and they are all from the important towns on the Silk Road, and there is no control over those nomadic tribes, a big reason is that the nomads have no fixed residence, and the tribal chiefs control the absolute rights, These nomadic tribes have always been a potential threat to Li Liangzuo, and in the event of a decisive battle between the Xia army and the Serbian army, these seemingly weak nomadic tribes are likely to become a decisive force.
Li Liangzuo hoped to eliminate the Tuqi Shi people through the Battle of Talas, so as to achieve the purpose of deterring the various nomadic tribes in the Western Regions, so Li Liangzuo decided to kill chickens with a knife, and personally led the troops to go, Li Liangzuo needed to redeploy the Xia army before leaving, and the most important thing was who to hand over the 300,000 army to command before Li Liangzuo left, these more than 300,000 troops are the elite of the Great Xia Kingdom Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo must be handed over to a person who he can absolutely trust.
It stands to reason that Li Wu is the most suitable candidate in Li Liangzuo's heart, but now Li Wu's life and death are unknown, Xiao Zhuozi is Li Liangzuo's confidant, but unfortunately he is a eunuch who can't lead the army, and the remaining candidates are only Li Yanzong, Li Yi, Ji La Yong'er, Feng Frame and An Qinggui.
After some careful consideration, Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi: "Send someone to announce Li Yanzong and Li Yi." ” "Yes, the minion commands" After Xiao Zhuozi was ordered to leave, Li Liangzuo looked at the map of the entire Western Regions with his hands behind his back, and the various forces in the territory of the entire Black Khan Dynasty were marked very clearly, and it can be found that the situation was not favorable to the situation of the Great Xia Kingdom through the map, because Li Liangzuo was too greedy and did not go through sufficient preparations, the problems of the Xia army were finally exposed, and the 600,000 Xia troops who carried out the Western Expedition can now be said to be divided into three parts.
The first part was the main force of the Xia army stationed on the Honghe defense line, which had 400,000 men and was the elite of the Xia army.
The second part is the 100,000 Xia army stationed in Khotan and other places, this Xia army is led by the acting king Li Bingchang, which is the reserve force prepared by Li Langzuo for himself, and it is also the last force to respond to the battlefield.
The third part is the defenders stationed in various cities along the line and Li Wu and others who went deep into the enemy's territory, this part of the army adds up to less than 100,000 troops, and the troops are scattered in various places, among which the Xia army troops stationed in various cities are to ensure the rear supply line of the Xia army, and Li Wu and others who went deep into the enemy territory are now unknown in life and death; If they are really able to penetrate deep into enemy territory, their purpose is to disrupt the logistics supply of the Serbian army.
Now the three forces of the Xia army, after Li Liangzuo can really move, the 400,000 troops stationed on the Honghe defense line, the Xia army does not have an absolute advantage compared with the Serbian army in the decisive battle, and now Li Liangzuo is going to send 100,000 troops to attack the Tuqi Division; The Xia army's strength on the Honghe defense line is bound to be empty, if the Serbian army launches another attack at this time, the Xia army will face the danger of being attacked from both sides, and the final result is very likely to cause the rout of the entire Honghe defense line, which is definitely what Li Liangzuo does not want to see.
"The last general, Li Yanzong, Li Yi, see Your Majesty" Li Liangzuo came back to his senses and looked at the two of them and said: "Get up, you all know the matter, I don't talk nonsense, now the situation is urgent, I will lead 100,000 troops to the north tonight, after I leave, the 300,000 troops on the entire Honghe defense line will be handed over to the two of you, I appointed Li Yanzong as the commander, Li Yi as the deputy commander, after I leave, the two of you, instead of me commanding my 300,000 elites; I have given you the right to act cheaply, and you can do anything first, and although I will leave with my troops, the banner will remain in the camp in order to confuse the enemy; The two of you are exercising power directly in my place, and you can't let anyone know that I've left with my army, understand?"
"The last general understands, but Your Majesty, the departure of 100,000 troops from the garrison will inevitably attract the attention of the spies of the Serbian army, and under what pretext does Your Majesty intend to take the troops to leave."
"It is impossible to hide the news of Talas for too long, rather than concealing it so much, it is better to publish it, my army of 100,000 is to crusade against the Tuqi Shi, but the commander on the surface is not me, but Xiao Zhuozi; In this way, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and the true and the false are likely to confuse Malikshah. ” "It's still Your Majesty's Shengming, thinking so thoroughly."
"Okay, don't be a sycophant anymore; After I left, there will be a void in our defensive line, and it will be too difficult to hold all such a long defensive line, so after I leave; All the defense lines of the Honghe River were immediately adjusted, and all the troops originally deployed in various places on the river bank were withdrawn, with the large battalion as the fulcrum, and a large battalion was set up on the north and south sides, and the three large battalions formed a countermeasure.
If there is no opportunity for the army to stick to the three large battalions to support each other, and wait for my reinforcements to arrive, I will be back in half a month at most. ” "Yes, the last general commands."
Li Liangzuo's redeployment of the Honghe defense line can be said to have completely changed the offensive posture of the original Xia army; Originally, the Xia army deployed a considerable part of its troops on the river bank to patrol back and forth, and as soon as there was an opportunity, they would cross the river to fight, and if the operation went well, the follow-up troops of the Xia army would quickly cross the Honghe River and launch a large-scale attack.
But now Li Liangzuo has improved his offensive posture, but turned to defense, and it is not a comprehensive defense but a key defense; For Li Liangzuo, because the Honghe defense line lacked 100,000 troops, it was quite inappropriate to use the Honghe River as a moat, and what Li Liangzuo had to do was just to keep his bridgehead along the Honghe.
After explaining everything, Li Liangzuo led an army of 100,000 to secretly leave the summer army camp that night, although Li Liangzuo said that he left secretly, but he was discovered by the spies of the Serbian army just after leaving the camp, of course, all this was expected by Li Liangzuo; The vast majority of the troops led by Li Liangzuo were light cavalry, and only a small part were heavy cavalry, and the purpose of this was to increase the mobility of the troops.
The speed of the Xia army's battle was very fast, and it took only three days to march more than 1,000 miles to reach less than 100 miles from the city of Talas, which is now the sphere of influence of the Turgish people, and the Turgish Khan Pontele has moved the Khanate to the city of Talas, in Pontele's view, the lord of Xia County is confronting the Serbian army and has no time to take care of himself, and after the Xia army and the Serbian army decide the victory, Pontel has already pacified the other forces around and established the Turgish Khanate.
But the Xia army came too fast, much faster than Ponteler imagined, Li Liangzuo just arrived in the sphere of influence of Talas City, and began to massacre the Turkish tribes around Talas City, of course, there are some innocent people, but Li Liangzuo can't control so much now, and now for Li Liangzuo, it is to use iron-blooded means to deter the nomadic tribes in the entire Western Regions, so that they can completely surrender to the feet of the Xia army.
