"This is feasible!" the generals thought a little and immediately brightened their eyes.
According to Merton's method, the wounded camp really doesn't need to move, and there are still two hours for the fire to operate.
"Come on, dig a circle of trenches around the wounded camp immediately. Remember to dig the westernmost one first." Li Jing immediately ordered without hesitation. Immediately, a large number of soldiers rushed out and began to dig trenches on a large scale. Soon the whole wounded camp was surrounded in a circle.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Merton in amazement and said strangely, "I don't know if you have seven tricks and exquisite heart. In other people's eyes, things that are as difficult as heaven are in your hands."
Other generals nodded and looked at Merton with strange eyes.
Merton proudly pointed to his head and said, "seven tips and exquisite hearts are all false. According to the research of doctors, whether a person is smart or not is not because of his heart, but his brain. The heart is just a place for blood supply."
In an instant, the generals could not help but brush their eyes on Merton's head.
Merton suddenly felt his head cold and felt like a pack of wolves. He hurriedly said, "if you want to be smart, you should read more and eat walnuts! There is no other way."
Merton has not forgotten that he ate the stem of walnut brain tonifying and quickly took it out to justify himself.
"All right, stop it!" Li Jing shouted and stopped the generals from teasing Merton.
"Fu Yun's move seems powerful, but it hurts people and himself. The grassland is lit. Of course, there is no grass for our war horses in the Tang Dynasty, but the same is true for Tuyuhun's war horses. At the moment, Fu Yun must take advantage of the fire to stop us and run away. What should we do now?" Li Jing looked at the red sky in the West and said with a heavy face.
Suddenly, all the generals looked worried and looked at the fire in the distance..
"Tell the general! Fu Yun, the old thief burned the grassland, and our army is short of war horse forage. If you take an adventure expedition, I'm afraid people will be tired and horses will be tired. If you're not careful, you will lose your troops and lose your generals!" Li daoyan frowned.
There is no need to remind the generals of the importance of food and grass. The generals naturally know that the lighting of the grassland in Fuyun will not give the Tang army any chance. I'm afraid the places with abundant water and grass have long been burned up, and they will continue to spread over time. Most of the land that can survive may be spared, But these small areas can't be enough for more than 100000 war horses.
"General, withdraw! Our army has been defeated in Tuyuhun. If you risk pursuing, there will be no smoke for thousands of miles and no weeds. If you want to let the war horses pursue hungry, I'm afraid their previous achievements will be wasted if you're not careful!" Gao Zhengsheng echoed.
Now that the Tang army has won a great victory, everyone who retreats now has credit. If you take risks to pursue and turn from victory to defeat, you will not only have no merit, but also have it. I'm afraid it's hard to please.
Not only did Li daoyan and Gao Zhensheng think so, but most generals nodded in agreement. Now when they return to Chang'an City, everyone will have a reward. Why bother to risk failure?
For a moment, almost all the generals agreed to withdraw.
"But now our army is in great shape! It's really unwilling to withdraw like this!" Cheng Yaojin said with hatred.
After this war, the Tu army must be terrified, and the form of the Tang army is very good. However, I didn't expect that Fu Yun would think of such a plan to hurt both sides. This time, the burning of the grassland by Fu Yun will certainly stop the Tang army, and the whole Tuyuhun will be energetic and loud. If cattle and sheep have no pasture, they will suffer heavy losses.
"We must not withdraw our troops." suddenly, amid the hesitation of the people, a young voice said firmly.
The generals suddenly turned around and saw that it was Merton who opposed the withdrawal. Suddenly, they couldn't help thinking about it. Naturally, they knew that Merton was a determined advocate. This time, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Tuyuhun on such a large scale. It can be said that a large part of Merton's full promotion.
Li daoyan looked at Merton coldly and said: "I would have known that you wanted to avenge Tuyuhun's request for Changle's marriage. According to your seniority, I would still be Changle's uncle. Naturally, I would also like to vent my anger for Changle, but this is a national matter. How can it be compared with personal feelings? If you let the army fall into a place of eternal disaster for your own personal interests, not to mention you, even the whole Mohist school can't afford it."
The other generals nodded one after another. It's too difficult to pursue at the moment.
Other generals also looked at Merton with dissatisfied eyes. They admitted that Merton had made a lot of achievements in this war. However, it was not qualified to let them go to risk and let the Mohists please a woman, even if the woman was a princess.
Merton sonorous way: "Since manager Li talked about selfishness, let's talk about Fu Yun's selfishness. Do you think Fu Yun is a person who tolerates losses? Think that when Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun, Fu Yun fled in a hurry. In the next 20 years, Tuyuhun violated the border year after year. Such a person who will repay his vengeance, boy, but I can guarantee that if we retreat today, the army will just leave, and the whole long will be destroyed The land on the right will surely suffer the craziest Revenge of Fu Yun. "
Suddenly, the whole generals were cold in their hearts. With the character of vengeance and retribution, Merton predicted that it would not happen, but would happen. At that time, let alone go to Chang'an city to receive merit, they were afraid that the saliva of the imperial court's censor would drown them, and it was not certain whether they could keep their positions.
Merton continued: "If we can't completely defeat voyun this year, Tuyuhun will suffer losses today and will double take it from the people in Longyou. Who will bear such crimes then? Naturally, it is us. The imperial court will take us to the end, remove us from office and use a group of generals again. Tuyuhun's army will certainly repeat its old skills and burn grass and escape. Do you agree Why, will the general who will levy Tuyuhun next year order the pursuit? "
Everyone nodded silently in their hearts. It can be imagined that with their lessons, I'm afraid next year's army will pursue and completely solve the great trouble of Tuyuhun.
Merton suddenly shouted, "since we will pursue sooner or later, why don't we take the initiative today."
Li daoyan hesitated and turned his eyes: "I heard that Marquis Mo once said the policy of breaking Tuyuhun in the court hall. As long as we wait for Tuyuhun's busy season in spring to attack the grassland, Tuyuhun will lose in three or five years. Why don't we use this good policy."
The generals' eyes lit up. Since Fu Yun can ignite the grassland, they can naturally attack the grassland for several consecutive years and burn the grassland. Tuyuhun will surely lose. This method is both safe and successful.
