A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy.

The singing and dancing here in Chang'an bring peace and prosperity, and the spring night brings a lot of money.

Longyou's rapid march never stopped.

On the fifth day of Li Yi's 800-mile rush, Shangshu Sheng's letter caught up with Li Shimin's army.

At this time, the Tang army had advanced northwestward and was only fifteen miles away from Wuhai and Dafeichuan.

The army was stationed along the border of Heyuan.

After briefly arranging to be stationed, Li Shimin found Xue Rengui and said to Xue Rengui:"I will introduce someone to you today, and you two will go to Dafeichuan to surprise the Tibetan army." As he spoke, a tall and energetic general walked in.

He looks a bit old, but not too old.

Li Shimin said:"This man's name is Su Dingfang."

Historically, two famous generals met for the first time in the Heyuan area. In the next few decades, the two will succeed Li Jing and Li Ji in their military positions and become famous generals of the Tang Dynasty..

At that time, Su Dingfang was just a general in the army. During the battle in Shibao City, Li Shimin noticed Su Dingfang.

After this inquiry, I found out that Su Dingfang had followed Li Jing to attack all directions in the morning.

It's just that Li Jing was so bright at the time that he overshadowed Su Dingfang's talents.

If Li Shimin hadn't witnessed Su Dingfang's use of troops, this famous general would have had to stay in the army for fifteen years before he could enter the stage of history.

Su Dingfang was not as lucky as Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui met Li Yi and was promoted very early.

But Su Dingfang could only rely on his military merit to survive in the army bit by bit.

Simply, Li Shimin went on a personal expedition and witnessed with his own eyes the power of such a general in using troops.

When Xue Rengui saw Su Dingfang, he cupped his hands and said,"General Su!"

He opened his mouth to say"General", which shows that Xue Rengui's emotional intelligence has also improved a lot.

Su Dingfang felt very relieved when he said this:"General Xue!"

Li Shimin said with a smile:"Okay, okay! I've seen you, now it's time to discuss how to attack Dafeichuan."

Su Dingfang's thoughts and Xue Rengui Coincidentally, it was also suggested that Xiaogu's army sneak attack Dafeichuan, and that Tang Dynasty would mobilize a group of troops to bypass Tuyuhun and directly enter Luosuo City.

A very familiar military strategy, the Thirty-six Strategies have been mentioned before, which is to surround Wei and save Zhao.

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he said to Li Shimin:"In this invasion of the Heyuan Dafeichuan area, there is no need to worry about the combat strength of the government troops. Fifty thousand to four hundred thousand can still fight, but the key to the problem is the baggage!"

This is the second time. The issue of baggage was mentioned for the second time.

It can be seen that Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang have similar military ideas, and both of them attach great importance to the supply of supplies.

Especially when the army goes deep into the snow, if there is no baggage or there is a problem with the baggage, this army is very likely to be in danger.

Li Shimin thought about it seriously and said to Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui:"I have asked Guo Daifeng to follow him with 20,000 baggage. The baggage will not be a problem."

As he was speaking, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Report! Urgent news from Chang'an!"

The military tent suddenly became quiet, and Li Shimin shouted:"Bring it here!"

Everyone looked at Li Shimin with bated breath.

After a long time, Li Shimin's face gradually darkened.

He showed the letter to Xue Rengui, Cheng Yaojin and others.

After reading it, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Cheng Yaojin Jin said cautiously:"Li Yi, that kid wants to remove Guo Daifeng from his official position?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Yu Chigong asked curiously:"What's the reason?

Li Shimin shook his head and said:"If Guo Daifeng is radical and takes charge of the baggage, something may happen.""

This reason obviously cannot convince everyone.

Changing generals before the battle is a taboo in military use. These veteran generals who have experienced hundreds of battles all know this truth.

Qin Qiong said cautiously:"Your Majesty, although Li Yi has the intention to care for Your Majesty, but in the war People will die, and every decision is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people. Changing generals at the last moment will drop the morale of many people. We all understand this."

"Besides, Guo Daifeng is only in charge of the baggage, so it stands to reason that nothing will happen, right?"

At this time, no one dared to say anything, and all the decision-making power was in the hands of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang:"What do you think?"

After all, the equipment of this batch of heavy troops was supplied to Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, and Li Shimin needed to consult their opinions. Xue Rengui thought for a while and said to Li Shimin:"What my benefactor said has its own truth.……"

Su Dingfang held a different opinion:"I don't agree. I've heard a little bit about the controversy in the court. Don't blame me for speaking harshly. I'm an upright person, so let's just say it.""

"The general felt that Li Yi might have come to suppress Changsun Wuji because of this. After all, Guo Daifeng was promoted by Changsun Wuji."

"The general does not want the army to be corrupted by politics.

Xue Rengui blushed and said,"Fart!" Why is my benefactor so stupid? Since he said this, it makes sense.

Su Dingfang said:"If something goes wrong when changing generals on the spot, who will be responsible?"

Xue Rengui said:"What if something goes wrong with Guo Daifeng?""

The two sides couldn't argue, and in the end it was Li Shimin who made the decision.

Li Shimin thought for a long time, and then said:"Now the army is very close to Dafeichuan, and cannot stay here any longer! General Xue and General Su will execute the planned plan, and Guo will not be replaced!"

"If there is really a problem with Guo Daifeng, I will personally lead the troops to rescue the two generals. The front-line military...please leave it to the two generals!"

Having said this, Xue Rengui and Su Ding were not arguing.

Both of them were right, and each had their own reasons. This small dispute would not cause a gap between the two broad-minded generals.

The next morning, Xue Rengui He and Su Dingfang led 50,000 light cavalry, bypassed the snowy mountains, and went straight to Dafeichuan. The 20,000 heavy baggage troops led by Guo Daifeng followed the marks of Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang's army. The baggage troops were definitely not as fast as the light cavalry. , this is also the consistent battle plan on ancient battlefields.

After Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang's army left, Li Shimin ordered:"Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Zhenboer and other 30,000 troops bypassed Tuyuhun and went straight to Luosuo City!"

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong clasped their fists and shouted:"The last general has received his order! Li

Shimin continued:"The army continues to advance and stops five miles away from Dafeichuan. I am waiting for news about Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang!""

"promise!"

"promise!"

"promise!"
