Ye Qingcheng remained silent, because Du Yanbin's plan was exactly what he thought. Yes, if you want to minimize the losses of the Tang army, you must rely on these three tribes, even to trap and kill Ashina Gudu. Li Longji achieved this by borrowing the hands of these three troops. However, Sun Laonu, the former Zuo Yulin general, seemed to be at odds with the three troops afterwards. Therefore, if he wants to use them again, he may have to put in some effort.
Although these Beiyi brains are not very easy to use and are very easy to be used, how to use them is none of Ye Qingcheng's business. Since it was agreed that Du Yanbin would do everything, then naturally he had to let Du Yanbin do it. Du Yanbin thought, he was only responsible for execution. Just the fact that Du Yanbin's plan was just as he thought was enough to satisfy him. If Du Yanbin couldn't even do this, then he would be Wang Zhongsi's aide and might as well go home and farm. Well, luckily he is still somewhat genuine.
Wang Zhongsi glanced sideways at Ye Qingcheng and saw that his face was calm without any expression. He probably agreed with the general plan. After listening to Du Yanbin's opinions just now, what he wanted to know most was Ye Qingcheng's. Now it seems that he wants to I'm afraid it's the same as Du Yanbin. Although he had some plans at the beginning, Du Yanbin's insights were more detailed. After listening to his explanation, he had to admit that under the current situation, only relying on these three parts could maximize the benefits and minimize the losses. To minimize the result, it would be best if Ye Qingcheng could execute it without any objection.
Now that he has made a conclusion, naturally the opinions of other generals are only for reference. He is the commander-in-chief, and the decisions he makes can be refuted by warriors. If there is someone who does not know what is good and what is bad, he can also make him see clearly what is wrong with him. Whoever is dissatisfied will naturally deal with them one by one in the future.
But among these people, there is one person who deserves his attention. If nothing happens, this person will rise to prominence like him in the future, so there is nothing wrong with showing him some kindness appropriately.
"Deputy Envoy An, what do you think?" Wang Zhongsi suddenly asked loudly, and the person he was questioning was a seemingly middle-aged Hu man among the generals.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the man and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. Since he was said to be a deputy envoy, he was probably the deputy envoy of a certain border town in the Tang Army Group, but there were many people present. There were several deputy envoys, how could he recognize them. Although I had seen many high-ranking officials and generals in Chang'an, not everyone had seen him. I should have seen Deputy Envoy An several times and had some impressions, but I couldn't remember who he was.
In desperation, Ye Qingcheng waved to Ah Er who was standing aside, called him over and asked in a low voice: "Who is this Deputy Envoy An? Why is Wang Shuai so enthusiastic about him?"
A'er looked at him as if he were a monster. Although the victory in this battle was basically due to Ye Qingcheng's plan and the actions of the three of them, there was another extremely important point: this guy. He was also Ye Qingcheng's. It was an important part of the plan, but the person involved, Ye Qingcheng, didn't even know him. It was really interesting to say that.
"Haha, Brother Ye really shouldn't know him."
"Oh? Why is this?"
"It seems that Brother Ye really doesn't know him. This man is the commander-in-chief of the Hexi Army who led the army this time. Hexi Jiedushi Deputy Envoy An Sishun. He is the brother of Fanyang Jiedushi An Lushan. This man He is brave and good at fighting, quite strategic, and deeply trusted by his subordinates. This time you asked the Hexi Army to raid the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp from behind. It was this man who took the lead in leading the army to attack the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp. At the same time, it was he who led the army to defeat it. He captured the Tuoba Tribe's eldest son Tuoba Xingying alive. Apart from you, he was also the first to take part in the entire Sanggan River battle. On the contrary, the generals who participated in the previous two small-scale battles It seems a bit eclipsed. With this great achievement and the fact that he is a general, the future position of Hexi Jiedushi will definitely belong to him, so it is natural for Wang Shuai to show his favor to him. "
While listening to Ah Er's introduction, Ye Qingcheng looked at An Sishun. He looked like a general. If it weren't for Wang Zhongsi, he would have thought that this man was the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, it happened to be Hexi. How should I put it? Among the many border towns in the Tang Dynasty, Hexi has the largest military establishment. However, Fan Yang’s actual number of soldiers exceeds the standard and is nominally weaker than Hexi. In addition, Hexi is the focus of the Tang Dynasty. In the horse breeding area, most of the war horses of the Tang Army came from Hexi. Therefore, the number of war horses of the Hexi Army was also very large, 17,000, which was much more than that of other border towns. Naturally, the sharpness of the cavalry of the Hexi Army was beyond the reach of other border towns. , only Fan Yang's Youzhou cavalry can compare with it, but the Youzhou cavalry are almost all composed of Hu people. They are originally Northern Yi and are good at riding and shooting, so they cannot be compared with them.
In such a powerful border town, as the slightly weaker Shuofang Jiedushi, Wang Zhongsi had to win over him. The old guy Fumeng Lingcha was really incompetent after so many years. He only wanted to protect himself in wars. He has no talent to lead troops and can only assume the position of Jiedushi based on his qualifications. According to his opinion, Hexi will belong to An Sishun sooner or later. Building a good relationship with him here will be of great significance to his future development.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief suddenly asked him, An Sishun was slightly startled at first, but soon turned into a smile, and the surrounding generals also returned to their respective positions. They knew very well that this was basically the king. Zhongsi came to lead this Northern Expedition. No, it is not appropriate to call it a Northern Expedition. It is not certain whether it will be fought or not. Since Wang Zhongsi only asked about An Sishun, it means that he will probably only listen to An Sishun's opinions, and other people's opinions can only be used as reference. In this case, they will not express their own opinions at all, so as to avoid embarrassment. I can't afford that person.
"Since Wang Shuai asked, let me tell you my opinion. In fact, my opinion is very simple. That is to test the opinion of Usumish Khan first, and then consider the treatment of Huihe, Geluolu and Ba based on his performance. The three Ximi tribes will test them, and then decide whether to attack them based on their attitudes, and in what way to attack them. It all depends on Wang Shuai's method of conquering, joining forces, or driving."
As expected, this is almost the same opinion as theirs. After all, there are only so many clues available in the oracle, and in such a short period of time, I can only think of this one more suitable strategy.
