Chapter 156 Executing Secret Orders
Participating in the military means to give advice on military affairs. There are real officials and false officials. Li Ye's appointment as a member of the military is actually the meaning of Li Chu's staff officer. It is usually used to appoint confidants.
There are both literature and martial arts in the military, and Li Ye naturally belongs to the category of generals.

Li Ye then returned to the station and bid farewell to his subordinates. He handed the team official sign to Yu Chiguang, "I told His Royal Highness King Guangping that you will be the team official. His Highness agreed, and the brothers will leave it to you in the future. Treat everyone well."

Yu Chiguang was really moved in his heart, and bowed deeply, "The team is upright and righteous, and Yu Chiguang will always remember it in his heart. If there is still a chance, I am willing to continue to do my best for the team!"

Li Ye patted his arm and said with a smile: "There will definitely be a chance!"

Several soldiers stepped forward to bid farewell to Li Ye, and Yang Li choked up and said, "After this farewell, I wonder if we can still see the captain?"

Li Ye said to several soldiers: "Please take good care of yourself, if one day Li Ye gets rich, you will never forget everyone, I believe we will meet again someday!"

At dawn the next day, the team set off to go north. Li Ye bid farewell to the people. The county magistrate of Wei led tens of thousands of people to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to Li Ye, thanking him for his rescue. Li Ye was also quite sad and expressed his gratitude to the people. After waving goodbye, he turned his horse's head and galloped northward.

After catching up with the team, Pan Xiangying stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, invite Li Canjun to go over!"

Li Ye nodded and urged his horse to catch up with Li Chu. Li Chu smiled slightly and said, "Do you want me to appoint you as the county magistrate of Anle County?"

"Your Highness is joking!"

Li Chu was indeed making a joke. He changed the subject and said to Li Ye: "Grandfather Ni said that your thinking is quite clear, and you have fought with Luo Jun and know each other better. I want to hear your battle thinking?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, I want to remind Your Highness not to underestimate the enemy. The Tongluo cavalry are very fierce, and they are not afraid of death. Turned around and ran away, but held up the shield and retreated facing the city wall. The equipment was also very good. Almost all the soldiers were armored like the Tang army. More importantly, the [-] Tong Luo army were all cavalry. His Highness had considered how to deal with the cavalry attack. ?"

Li Chu's expression became serious, "I have considered the cavalry and armor equipment you mentioned, but I didn't expect that the Tongchen army would be so fierce and fearless. We have 1 soldiers, of which there are only [-] cavalry. , if a fierce battle breaks out between the two armies, I really have no certainty of winning, do you have any suggestions?"

"His Royal Highness, go up to attack the army, and the humble official thinks that it is better to cooperate with the strategy, such as cutting off the back route and destroying the food camp, which will greatly affect the morale of the enemy army."

Li Chu nodded, "Heroes see the same thing. Guo Ziyi also gave me advice in the same way. He also planted a hidden nail in the enemy army. He is Albus' nephew. Once little Albus dies, his nephew will be reused." , This is very beneficial to us, I am also considering attacking the enemy's logistics and food, but there is no specific plan, and we know nothing about the enemy's logistics."

Li Ye pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness can deploy normally, and I am willing to send troops for His Highness and destroy the enemy's food and grass!"

Li Chu actually meant this. He knew that Li Ye was highly skilled in martial arts, calm and resourceful. If he could single-handedly rescue his son from the enemy camp, he would surely be able to surprise the enemy's logistics and supplies.

Li Chu was overjoyed and said: "If you succeed in attacking the enemy's grain and grass, I will definitely play the role of the emperor and add an official to you."

"The humble job also needs an assistant who is skilled in martial arts and proficient in Tong Luo."

Li Chu nodded, "Do you still remember Luo Jin who went to rescue the little prince with you? He is actually a barbarian, proficient in Tie Le language, and agile, so he can help you."

Li Ye immediately made preparations. He and Luo Jin brought another soldier who was in charge of guarding the horses. The three left the team and rushed northward.

In the afternoon, Li Chu, the king of Guangping, got the news that Absi led the [-] main force to Mingsha County [-] miles away, set up a camp in the south of Mingsha County, and assumed a decisive battle with the Tang army.

Li Chu immediately ordered the three armies to stay in place, and called civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures in Shuai Zhang.

Inside the big tent, General Longwu Dugulie said: "Tongluo is dominated by cavalry, and it will inevitably attack our infantry with cavalry. We should use heavy crossbows and spears to fight against the enemy. In addition, we can deploy chariots to resist the enemy's impact. Although the prairie Huqi are fierce, they are not good at prolonged battles. As long as we withstand the enemy's impact and fight the enemy with infantry, we will definitely have a chance of victory."

Li Chu nodded, and asked Pugu Huai'en again: "General Pugu, you are familiar with Tong Luo's army, can you tell me the countermeasures?"

Pugu Huai'en bowed and said: "General Dugu was right just now. The Tongluo cavalry has a strong impact, and the power of the crossbow is extremely powerful. Shooting heavy arrows has a great lethality on the cavalry."

Chief Shi Cuihuan interrupted Pugu Huai'en and asked: "Let me interject, since they are equipped with the same equipment as Chen Yang and Tang Jun, they should also have shields. Are heavy arrows useful?"

Pugu Huai'en said with a smile: "Cui Changshi doesn't know that heavy arrows are mainly used to deal with horses. After ordinary arrows hit the horses, the horses can continue to run. The impact is not great, but heavy arrows are powerful. Must fall."

"It makes sense, General Pugu, please continue!"

Pugu Wynn continued: "The spear army must form a phalanx to deal with the cavalry. With the phalanx, the cavalry cannot approach the soldiers. As for the fact that they cannot fight for a long time with the Luo army, this statement is reserved. Cavalry, they are also very strong in protracted warfare, whether they retreat depends mainly on the degree of attrition, once the loss of soldiers is about [-]%, the Roman army will give up the battle and retreat, this is their rule."

The recorder joined the army and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I also want to say a few words about my humble position!"

Li Chu nodded, "Please tell me if you are joining the army!"

Lai Zhen bowed and said, "The enemy army only has [-] cavalry, so they probably won't have too many troops to defend the camp. Can we sneak attack the enemy's logistics camp? A fire will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy army, so my humble suggestion is to send a cavalry to attack the enemy's logistics camp."

Lai Zhen's suggestion was unanimously supported by everyone, Li Chu made a decisive decision, and said to Dugu Lie, who was in command of the cavalry: "General Dugu can send [-] cavalry to detour and attack Tongluo Daying Camp!"

Li Ye is a secret surprise soldier sent by Li Chu, and he will not bring it up in this military discussion.

In the evening, the three of Li Ye appeared in a forest ten miles east of the enemy's camp. Luo Jin asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, could the enemy's rations be sheep?"

Luo Jin is not a Han, he is a Huihe, and his status is not high among the bodyguards. The last time he rescued the little prince Li Shi, Pan Xiangying was promoted to an official, and he only got a reward of 100 taels of silver.

Luo Jin knew about Li Ye's details. The grandson of Xiangguo Li Linfu was named the captain of Xuanjie and the Viscount of Wugong County by the emperor, so he had great expectations in his heart to follow Li Ye this time.

Li Ye was also worried that the other party's food would be sheep or mutton, and that would be troublesome. He thought for a while and said, "Let's go hunt an enemy patrol and ask for a confession!"

Li Ye had already had a target, and there were three Tongluo cavalry patrolling in the south of the forest. They said they were patrolling, but they were more like fixed posts, patrolling back and forth in the south of the forest.

Li Ye asked the little soldier Liu Xing to watch the horse, and he and Luo Jin went to the south of the forest.
