Chai Shao is dead this time, but no matter what, Chai Shao is a general who can lead an army on his own. You must learn as much as you can about his commanding methods and experience, and you must remember them even if you can't learn them. These experiences are all You get your life in exchange for it, and the military books won't teach you. They will only tell you how to win the battle, but they won't tell you what to do if you lose the battle. This is what you have to learn. This experience is extremely It’s rare, so you must cherish this opportunity. "
This is the order that all the nobles give to their sons who go to war with Chai Shao.
After Li Yuan's cordial conversation, everyone knew that Chai Shao was dead this time, so they all sent their sons out.
Of course, this is not to let them die, but for the sons of aristocratic families to go out with the army. This is a normal situation at this time. The first is to show loyalty, the second is to allow the children of the family to accumulate some battle experience, and the third is to share some military merits. .
So Chai Shao was very happy when those aristocratic family members came, because without these people, who knows whether those nobles who were jealous of him would play dirty tricks on him?
But now that those noble families are here, Chai Shao is no longer afraid. Not only is he not afraid, he also hopes to fight against the main force of the Turks, because with the existence of these noble families, no matter what he wants, those nobles can prepare it for him. , because their legitimate sons are in their own hands.
This time, these nobles sent their legitimate sons. The farewell ceremony always had to be more formal. Since I couldn't go, let my legitimate sons do it for me.
Anyway, everyone has made arrangements. Besides, the legitimate sons of these people also have to learn. Although Chai Shao will die this time, Chai Shao himself doesn’t know. In order to get rid of the reputation of his son-in-law, Chai Shao will definitely Those who use all their abilities can just be handed over to their legitimate sons this time, so that their legitimate sons know how to lead the army.
When Chai Shao led the army on the expedition, Li Yuan personally told Chai Shao that there was no great merit in this station, but no big mistakes. Everything should be done with stability. We must fight steadily to hold down the opponent and do our best. Possibly delaying time, and then waiting for reinforcements. If this battle is successful, there is still hope for a county king.
These words made Chai Shao extremely excited. The prince, the ministers were all born without being crowned kings. You must know that anyone who was crowned a king with a different surname during his lifetime had the intention of usurping the throne. The title of king was only after death. The expression is full of sorrow and honor.
And now he was crowned king with a different surname during his lifetime, which made him think a lot.
So he made a guarantee that he would be able to hold back the Turkic army firmly. Moreover, the Turkic army was composed of many small armies on the combined grasslands of the East and West Turks, and they had many orders. If everything went smoothly, they would naturally be united, but once they were blocked, they would People's hearts are unpredictable.
Li Yuan was very happy to hear Chai Shao say this, because it showed that Chai Shao was not blinded and his reason was still there. This was a good thing. It allowed Chai Shao to use all his abilities, so that those people could also Satisfied, these people are willing to use their own private army in exchange for their own children's military leadership experience. After all, private armies are easy to obtain and experience is hard to find.
When Chai Shao went on an expedition, all the nobles from Chang'an came to see him off. This made Chai Shao even more happy. He felt that these people came only for his legitimate son, and had no idea that these people came to see him off. of.
As soon as he left Chang'an City, he immediately released the sentry horses. Thousands of sentry horses were divided into dozens of teams to explore the surrounding area for thirty miles. The army also focused on stability when marching, and the daily march was less than a hundred miles. .
This made all the aristocratic family members have questions, and then these people began to ask questions. Chai Shao answered the questions of these aristocratic family members one by one, because it was also one of his responsibilities to answer questions and doubts of these people. After all, The children of these aristocratic families were released and trained by the generals who commanded the army. This was a common practice for generals in ancient times. You teach my children and I will teach your children, and they will never hide their secrets, because everyone is That's what the military does in the early days. You'll know if you're hiding something or not. Besides, there are some things that you won't know just because you've been taught them.
Leading soldiers in battle requires talent. It just depends on whether God will reward you with food. If God rewards you with food, you will be able to learn it in a short time on the battlefield. If God does not reward you with food, you can teach you step by step. You can't learn much, and besides, when leading troops in battle, God himself feeds them, so hiding secrets doesn't exist at all.
Chai Shao explained their doubts to those aristocratic families in detail, that is, his own army is not good, and it is not the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty, so although these people are private soldiers of each family, they look more elite than the imperial army, but , these people are not as cooperative as the government soldiers and cannot lead the army in accordance with the requirements of the Art of War.
And look at what the military books say that the army will grow hundreds of miles day by day. Those armies are all well-trained elite troops, and they cooperate well with each other. However, each private army has its own training methods, and the trained private soldiers They all have their own characteristics, but they are all elite, but they are all elite, which does not mean that their cooperation must be good. He needs time to run in these troops, so the march must be slow. As for sending three sentry horses outside Ten miles is to prevent sneak attacks. The Turks are all cavalry. Once they march, they come and go like the wind. Twenty miles is not enough for sentry horses. In fact, thirty miles is not enough. You must know that it is not easy for a large army to march hundreds of miles. , but it is normal for the cavalry to march more than three hundred people day by day.
What follows is a long list of explanations.
However, even though the march was slow, Chai Shao still blocked the Turkic vanguard in Pizhou, and then sent sentries back to Chang'an to report the news.
However, being able to block the Turkic troops in Pizhou is much better than in history. You must know that in history, Yuchi Jingde, who was sent by Li Shimin to intercept the enemy, blocked the enemy's vanguard in Jingyang.
At that time, the Turkic army was less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
Chai Shao immediately led his men to launch an attack on the Turkic vanguard. Although there was no Yuchi Jingde this time, there was Qin Qiong. Because Qin Qiong did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was squeezed out of Tiance Mansion by Li Shimin. , this time he went to Tang Xuanzong to put down the Anshi Rebellion without bringing Qin Qiong with him. He even said unabashedly that since Shu Bao wants to be a pure minister, he should stay. There are no pure ministers in his Tiance Mansion. position, they are all guilty of launching a coup, it is better not to miss the future of pure ministers.
Then Qin Qiong was abandoned. To put it bluntly, Li Shimin felt that if Qin Shubao was present in this coup, he would not fail. With Qin Shubao's ability, he would never let Li Jiancheng escape from Xuanwu Gate.
