After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he told Na Yan: "Okay, go out and watch the scouts in all directions. If there is any news about Rouran, report it immediately!"

"Obey!" Nayan followed the order and left.

Zhao Junsheng turned around and shouted: "Come here, tell the generals and ministers accompanying the army to discuss matters!"

Not long after, the generals and ministers of various armies arrived one after another.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Young gentlemen, we have been retreating for the past few days because General Xue Andu and nearly [-] people under his command were wiped out by the Rouran people. The army has withdrawn to Senai, what about the Eastern Route Army and the Central Route Army?"

"This retreat is a tactical need. Why do you say that? Look at the map here. Before that, the Rouran people were divided into five to six groups. Each group had at least [-] troops and a maximum of [-] troops. They were not far apart. , if we attack one alone, Rouran's troops will rush up soon! We planned to use wolf pack tactics to counter Rouran's wolf pack tactics, but we were forced to do so because of the defeat of General Xue Andu's troops. termination!"

"This time we retreated for three days, and we kept turning in the middle, but the general direction did not change. The Rouran people must have guessed that our destination was in the area of ​​Mount Khan. They probably thought we were fleeing back to Serbia. They may think that our choice to retreat here is a sign from the heavens! In short, they will definitely rush towards Mount Dahan at the fastest speed!"

"However, the interval between the arrivals of their ministries is longer than before. Why? Because our retreat has been changing directions so that the distance between their troops and horses has widened! Coupled with the terrain in this area, we now have Complete terrain map, we will launch a counterattack here!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng looked at the ministers and generals and said: "So I plan to divide the troops into two groups. One route will be led by 2 troops; the other route will be led by Chang Kun with 1 troops!"

"The task of Chang Kun's 1 troops is to attract the attention of the various armies of Rouran, and retreat southward. When retreating, discard part of the luggage at intervals. In this way, the pursuit speed of the various armies of Rouran will be slowed down. The direction of your retreat It is Zheluzhang, but you can change the direction at any time according to the actual situation, otherwise it will be easy for the Rouran people to rush to the front to intercept you. You must leave the scouts at the back. Lead people to turn around to meet my group, and we both use Xinying to keep in touch!"

"I accept the order!" Chang Kun stood up and clasped his fists in agreement, and then asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, when will I start this journey?"

"After the meeting is over, we will make preparations for departure, and wait for the order. As soon as the order is given, we will move out!" Zhao Junsheng glanced at the ministers, "The national teacher will follow Chang Kun to advise him, and then select a few Qing family members to assist him. You, Lu Shuang, Pei Guangyuan, and Murong Chang will serve as Chang Kun's lieutenants, and the others will follow me!"

"Your servant will obey the order!" All the ministers and generals agreed in unison, and Dongfang Chen immediately called out the names of several ministers and asked them to assist him.

At dusk, Na Yan hurried over to report to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, all the soldiers and horses of Rouran are rushing towards this side!"

Zhao Junsheng's expression froze, "Where are their various departments?"

Nayan walked to the new map, picked up a brush and drew a circle on each of the five positions on the map, there are big and small, the big circle represents more troops, and the small circle represents less troops, and wrote in the circles General's name.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it and asked, "How fast are they marching? When will they arrive here the fastest?"

Nayan replied: "Rouran people know that our sentry cavalry scouts are powerful, and they can't easily deceive us, so they never dare to march at night. With their current speed, the fastest one is the one that is easy to pass." Thousands of soldiers and horses will arrive here at the beginning of tomorrow morning, and the furthest away from us is Kurenzhi's men and horses, they are in the north of us, and they will arrive here around [-]:[-] tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and shouted: "Come here, order the various ministries to prepare to set off after dinner!"

After the order to move out was issued, the atmosphere in the camp became tense. Everyone's movements became much lighter, and they even walked faster than usual.

This dinner was very sumptuous, and the portion was sufficient. Everyone was full. Everyone had already received dry food and water, which could be eaten for three days, and they would be distributed separately after three days.

Two groups of armies, all the way to the south, all the way to the north, the sky was not completely dark when they set off, and the afterglow of the sunset was still illuminating the earth.

Zhao Junsheng and Chang Kun have different missions. Chang Kun's mission is to attract the attention of Rouran's ministries, hold them at a brisk speed, and prevent them from overtaking them.

And Zhao Junsheng's task is to wait for the opportunity to break through Rouran's various ministries so that they have no time to rescue each other.

Therefore, Zhao Junsheng ordered the partial general Yang Lie to lead 1000 people to stay and clear the traces of his army.

All the luggage was taken away by Chang Kun's men and horses. They needed to use the method of discarding the luggage along the way to attract the attention of Rouran's ministries, so their marching speed was not fast at the beginning, but as more luggage was discarded, their The heavier the burden, the faster the marching speed.

After Zhao Junsheng gave the order, the whole army marched quickly northward, with a scout as a guide. This scout had already explored the terrain in this area and was familiar with it. Even if it was dark, it would not be easy to get lost.

Starting from Xu time to around six o'clock in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Junsheng's army quickly marched 130 miles and arrived at the predetermined location - Luweidang.

Afterwards, Zhao Junsheng ordered the whole army to camp on the spot and sleep on the ground. The soldiers never took off their armor, their swords never left their hands, and their horses never took off their saddles.

At the beginning of the Mao Dynasty, the sky was already bright, and Zhao Junsheng, the ministers accompanying the army and generals rode horses and stood on a hilly belt three miles away from the reeds.

The scout leading the way was beside Zhao Junsheng. He cupped his fists and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the vast stretch of reeds in front of you is where you said! The villain and two brothers went in to check it, and found it about three miles deep into the reeds. There are some rusty weapons and armors, and some skeletons, which should be hundreds of years old, and the weapons and armors are all rusted out of shape.”

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the reeds and said to the ministers and generals: "Masters, look at the large reeds. Back then, Li Ling was chased and retreated here by the Xiongnu Shanyu with [-] cavalry. It was autumn and the reeds were all withered and yellow. The Huns set fire to the upper wind, trying to burn Li Ling and thousands of soldiers under his command to death, Li Ling ordered to set fire to a piece of reed to get an open space to save the thousands of troops and retreat safely!"

These ministers and military generals all knew the story of Li Ling. At this time, seeing the place where Li Ling withdrew his troops, and thinking of Li Ling's ending, they were all stunned for a while.

Zhao Junsheng didn't give these ministers and generals too much time to express their emotions. He ordered: "Nayan, send out scouts to scout around, focusing on the direction of Kurenzhi's army. Once you find Kurenzhi's army, immediately Flying horse to report!"

"According to the order!"

Chapter 890 Reeds

Later, Zhao Junsheng ordered the leading generals of each army to wake up the soldiers under his command to prepare for an ambush after an hour. Arrived here two hours later.

"Everyone, there should be two hours left. Go back and sleep again. If you find Rouran's trace, I will send someone to wake you up!"

When the war came, those generals were alright. They were all veterans who had been in the army for several years, and some of them often confronted the Nanchao or Rouran people at the border. They were no longer so afraid of war.

But these military ministers can't do it. Although they are in high positions, they are pampered on weekdays. Although the court is dangerous, it is not as frightening as facing death right away, so the ministers can hardly sleep.

Under the hills, the generals and soldiers of the Gan army were lying on the ground one by one, sleeping soundly, in various sleeping positions, and the snoring sounded one after another, one after another, it was very lively, and the war horses were eating wild grass nearby.

Zhao Junsheng sat on a horse and ate the batter. The ministers who couldn't sleep came over with the batter brewed in boiling water and sat around him on the ground.

Seeing the expressions of these ministers, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but smiled and asked, "Why can't you fall asleep? Are you afraid or nervous?"

The faces of the ministers were all embarrassing, and Li Song laughed: "Your Majesty and the soldiers of the armies have experienced countless life and death battles, so naturally they will not be afraid. The ministers are all powerless people. Inevitably..."

Zhao Junsheng glanced at all the ministers, and said with a smile: "When the war comes, fear and fear are inevitable. This is human nature. I am also afraid, and I am also very afraid! Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, you can ask Generals and other soldiers, if you ask anyone at random, he will definitely say that he is also afraid of death!"

Lu Xuan turned his head to look, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, all the soldiers are sleeping soundly. If they are nervous and afraid, how can they fall asleep? There are also those few soldiers who are surrounded by each other. It's like nothing happened, it doesn't look like fear or fear at all!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "You don't know about this, it's because they have learned to self-regulate their mental state! No matter how many times they have fought fierce battles, no matter how many times they have experienced life and death, such people will still be afraid of death. The difference between ordinary people is that they have learned the ability to self-regulate their emotions and mental states through these experiences. People who do not have this ability have died in battle. Even if they don’t, they will force themselves to learn to face it calmly, because They know that if they don't have the courage to face it, they will die faster on the battlefield!"

"In the face of death, anyone with normal thinking and intelligence will be afraid. Even fools and lunatics will instinctively avoid danger! You dare not go to the battlefield. Because your courage is not enough to suppress fear! Look at those soldiers, their courage suppressed fear, so they are fierce and fearless when facing the enemy!"

"But courage is not static. It will be affected by many factors. A few encouraging words from the leader of the army may improve the courage of the soldiers! Some soldiers are not good enough psychologically. If the battle is even slightly unfavorable, they will lose their courage. The courage to face the enemy, once a soldier loses the courage to face the enemy, he is finished!"

"Therefore, although there are only a few possibilities for the outcome of the war, there are too many factors that affect the outcome of the war!"

The ministers and generals benefited a lot from Zhao Junsheng's words.

Li Song couldn't help sighing: "I think Li Ling, the general of the Han Dynasty, was considered a generation of famous generals. He was born well, talented and learned, and was valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, the losses were not large, and a large number of Hun cavalry were killed and wounded. In the end, the arrows were exhausted, and the weapons were lost. I can't figure it out!"

Xu Yan said: "I think Li Ling's idea at that time might be to feign surrender, but later, because of a lack of information or a mistake in transmission, Emperor Wu of the Han misunderstood that Li Ling had really surrendered to the Huns, so he killed Li Ling's family, the Yi tribe , So the false surrender turned into a real surrender! At that time, the whole army was in a desperate situation, and there was no reinforcements. Besides, they had tried their best. Li Ling did not lead all the soldiers to surrender, but took the lead in breaking through the siege to lure the Huns cavalry away, and let his soldiers Being able to escape in all directions, he did what a general should do!"

Lu Xuan objected: "I don't agree with your statement. Even if Li Ling thought of false surrender at the beginning, I still think this kind of thinking is a sign of cowardice and fear of death! A general who is defeated has the consciousness of dying on the battlefield. No matter what the reason, surrendering is shameful!"

Zhao Junsheng had to stop them from arguing, "Okay, it's meaningless to argue about this issue now. You are not Li Ling, and you are not the ministers of the Han Dynasty, and I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! Everyone, take a rest after eating, even if you can't sleep. Close your eyes and rest your mind, we will have more than one battle next, and we won’t just stop here, maybe we will have to ride horses for several days and nights, if we can’t sleep, our bodies will be overwhelmed!”

As the supreme ruler, any emperor of course hopes that his ministers will swear allegiance to him to the death. All dynasties and dynasties have given high praise to the generals who died in battle, especially admiring their integrity that they would rather die than surrender, but for those who surrendered General, no matter how great achievements this person has in the past, once he surrenders to the enemy, he will be denounced, spurned and abused by thousands of people.

As an emperor, Zhao Junsheng, from his standpoint, certainly cannot say that Li Ling did nothing wrong. If he said that what Li Ling did at the time was right, then this is a disguised form of encouraging generals to surrender at critical moments. We will have an excuse to surrender in the future.

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he ate the batter in the bowl after pawing and pawing a few times. After eating, he handed the bowl to the guard, went to the side by himself on a piece of cowhide spread on the ground, lay down and fell asleep, and soon fell asleep. Snoring.

The ministers looked at each other in amazement, they would never be able to learn this kind of instant sleep.

I don't know how long he slept, but Zhao Junsheng was woken up. He opened his eyes and saw that it was that Yan!
