"Only by knowing yourself and understanding yourself, you can clearly know your strengths and weaknesses, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, fully utilize your strengths and avoid hiding your weaknesses. If you don't even see clearly and don't know, how can you see through your opponent?"

Seeing that Xue Rengui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Luo Shixin knew that he understood the key to the problem, so he carefully left this passage, turned around and returned to the commander's tent, and told all soldiers not to disturb Xue Rengui's meditation.

Eating breakfast in the tent, life in the army was difficult. In order to save overall expenses, Luo Shixin did not advocate small cooking. What he ate was the same as the food of the soldiers, and it was all porridge, dough cakes and pickles mixed with some minced meat.

This tastes not bad, but there are not so many things to pay attention to during the march. It is already very good to be able to fill your stomach.

While eating, he suddenly got the news that Liu Rengui woke up.

After being overjoyed, he didn't care about eating the food, so he threw down his bowls and chopsticks and strode towards Liu Rengui's tent. After walking out of the tent, he immediately saw that Xue Rengui had changed his position, sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering blankly, and smiled faintly, and continued to walk towards Liu Rengui's tent.

"My Lord Sima, you are finally awake!" Luo Shixin walked into the camp and saw Liu Rengui eating light porridge under the service of the guards, in special care for the patients. There were some medicinal herbs and egg lean meat in the porridge.

Liu Rengui and the guards beside him wanted to meet.

Luo Shixin quickly stopped him and said, "You guys continue. When I don't exist, I've been unconscious for several days. I must be hungry. Let's fill my stomach first."

It was not until Liu Rengui finished eating that Luo Shixin said: "Excellent. Less than a hundred people have used to resist the offensive of a thousand people. One fights ten. I see what Sima you are, and you should directly be appointed as a general."

Liu Rengui smiled bitterly and said, "General, don't laugh at me. Isn't that forced me? If the Goguryeo soldiers break through the right wing, Liaodong can get effective support, which is very unfavorable to our plan to attack Liaodong. Only by breaking their reinforcements and cutting off their last hope can we force them into an isolated and helpless Jedi. On the contrary, if Goguryeo gets support, even a thousand people can give them a little hope. Liaodong has been occupied by other countries for a long time. If our conquest can recover Liaodong, it will accomplish what our predecessors have not been able to do in two hundred years. How can we give up halfway because of a little bit of a small mistake?"

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "No one understands this superficial truth. But maybe in your opinion, it is not a loss to trade your life to win Liaodong. However, I think it is just a Liaodong. If you can't fight this time, we still have a chance. But you Liu Rengui only have one, and you will never have another one after you sacrifice. I know your abilities best. The value of your Liu Rengui is not comparable to that of only Liaodong. Not to mention that you are a person who is not as good as a living Liu Rengui. This looks good than a transaction, but in fact, you have a big loss. The only thing that is lucky is that you are not dead..."

"Master General..." Liu Rengui couldn't say a word that moved. He didn't expect that his status in Luo Shixin's eyes was so heavy.

Luo Shixin is actually not an exaggeration at all. As a pillar of the country, Liu Rengui's personal contribution to the Tang Dynasty cannot be expressed in words in the future. The only thing that is, Liaodong cannot compare with the value of Liu Rengui's existence. Such an attitude made Liu Rengui even more moved, and he felt that a soldier died for his confidant.

"Okay, two big men, don't be stingy!" Luo Shixin also realized that he had become a little sensational, and waved his hand and said, "Be careful in the future, your ambitions have not been fulfilled. How can you die if you have not yet fulfilled your ambitions."

Liu Rengui nodded with a little weakness. He listened quietly for a moment and said, "Is he already attacking Liaodong? I heard the sound of cannon stones."

"Not bad!" Luo Shixin nodded and said, "When you were unconscious, we took advantage of the opportunity to take down Jian'an City and broke the three cities in Liaodong's protection. Recently, the troops divided into four groups and surrounded Liaodong and launched an offensive. Now the moat has been filled, and the artillery bombardment is being carried out."

Liu Rengui sighed: "Liaodong City has been in operation for more than 200 years. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Liaodong, it is extremely difficult to capture. Our army has lost a lot of people, right?"

Luo Shixin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Nonsense, don't just think like Yang Guang, just try your best to fight. Until now, our army has suffered less than 500 casualties and has almost no casualties."

"This?" Liu Rengui's eyes widened in shock.

Luo Shixin said calmly: "I have collected more than 20,000 Goguryeo surrendered troops, and they are responsible for landfilling the moat. Many people have indeed died, but our army has not suffered much damage. As for Liaodong City, I have never thought about taking my life to attack. I have already planned to smash it with a stone throwing cart. Our stone throwing cart has been improved by Jiang Xingben, which is much more powerful than the stone throwing cart we learned from Goguryeo. We can throw the huge stones onto their city towers, but their stone throwing carts are not hurting us, and we can only get beaten."

Liu Rengui smiled and then said, "What are the tricks left by the chief executive? This is indeed a big advantage by relying on the benefits of technology. But just that, I'm afraid it's not enough to capture Liaodong, right?"

Luo Shixin nodded and said, "This is naturally. In addition to arranging stone throwing machines to bombard the flying stones day and night, and also using the surrendered soldiers from Goguryeo to cover the earth and pile up the mountain, and piled a mountain in front of the two armies that could be compared with the Liaodong city wall. This not only can our Tang Dynasty catapults be able to show their power, but also have strong bows and crossbows to come in handy."

Liu Rengui Daxiong said: "Is the general planning to use the cover of a stone throwing machine and a powerful attack crossbow to capture Liaodong?"

"That's true! I said before the war. What I thought about in the Sui Dynasty defeated Goguryeo several times was a quick battle. How could they be undefeated when they faced Goguryeo's stability? With the lessons of the past, we should not repeat the same mistakes. We captured Xincheng and built an city, cut off the back of Liaodong City, attacked Beisha City by water, threatened Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and prevented Goguryeo from sending troops to reinforce, and defeated his reinforcements, making Liaodong isolated and helpless. We have done so many things, just to be able to attack Liaodong safely and steadily? Now that Liaodong is a turtle in the jar, why should I be anxious for a while?" Luo Shixin said of his control of the current situation, his words and deeds, mobilizing orderly, clear-cut, and famous generals.

Liu Rengui sighed: "When the Grand Chief attacked the Turks, he invaded like fire. Now he attacked Goguryeo and was as motionless as a mountain. He did not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of. His subordinates admired him."

Luo Shixin laughed "haha": "This person always needs to grow up. In recent years, he has been guided by the pharmacist in Chang'an. We can't lose face... We are going well along the way, I wonder how they are doing along the way?"

Liu Renguidao: "General Li Da is a genius of the world and is the first to use troops. I think Tuyuhun should not be a problem."

"I feel so too!" Luo Shixin affirmed Liu Rengui's reply.

As they thought, Li Jing's progress in Tuyuhun in the Western Expedition was also particularly smooth.

Just as Luo Shixin's troops surrounded Liaodong, they fought a beautiful battle.

Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, played guerrilla tactics with the Tang Dynasty and used the characteristics of the semi-nomadic people to defeat the Tang Dynasty.

This move did not hide from Li Jing, a veteran military service expert. Li Jing knew very well that Tuyuhun was a strange country. They were nomadic peoples and had the characteristics of nomadic people being good at riding and shooting. However, because they occupied the Silk Road for many years, domestic culture was deeply influenced by Eastern and Western cultures and had a unique cultural heritage. Qinghai Lake is their birthplace and is highly valued by the whole country.

The army on the west road of Datang went out of Lanzhou and marched southwest. Under the arrangement of Li Jing, they ignored the surrounding cities and went alone to reach Qinghai Lake and Shancheng.

If Shancheng is lost, Qinghai Lake will be fully in the hands of the Tang army.

This move is to attack the enemy and rescue him.

Facing the Tang Dynasty's soldiers pointing directly at Qinghai Lake, Murong Fuyun had no choice but to fight the Tang army near Shancheng.

The situation Li Jing faced was exactly the opposite of Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin met all the strong fortresses, while Li Jing faced an endless wilderness...

Luo Shixin's enemies were hiding in the city, while Li Jing's enemies were scattered in the wilderness and hidden in the darkness.

Li Jing is not afraid of the enemy coming to fight, but is afraid of the enemy not fighting.

The two armies launched a fierce decisive battle in the upper reaches of the Nirvana River, which was so dark that the sky was dark.

The general manager of the marching in Jishi Road, the general manager of the marching in Qieshi Road, Li Daliang, the general manager of the marching in Minzhou, Li Daoyan, the general manager of the marching in Chishui Road, Gao Zengsheng, the general manager of the marching in Lizhou, and the famous Turkic general Ashina Sheer who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, personally rushed over, defeating the Tuyuhun army with absolute advantage, killing 25,000 enemy soldiers.

Murong Fuyun was defeated in the field and was forced to give up all the towns around Qinghai Lake, burning out all the weeds to hinder the Tang army's pursuit, and escaping from the depths of the wilderness.

After the great victory, Li Jing did not give the soldiers time to celebrate their victory, but instead held a military meeting to discuss whether to go deep into the wilderness to pursue the remaining Tuyuhun remnants.

Li Daliang, the general manager of the marching in the Qiedu Road, said: "In order to force Tuyuhun to fight, our army will go deeper, and the food and grass in the rear will be difficult to transport it in a short time. The horses and grass in the army have been cut off and there is not much food left. Continue to pursue, and there will be serious flaws in supply, which may be destroyed by the enemy."

Ashin Ser also said: "We have an empty stomach and have no strength to fight. We are not familiar with the terrain deep in the Qilian Mountains. As far as I know, the direction they escaped was not born, and there were not even water and plants, so it was really not easy to pursue." As Turkic people, Ashin Serhin Ser conquered Li Shimin's personality charm and regarded himself as a member of the Tang Dynasty and worked hard for the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that most generals agreed to withdraw their troops, Li Jing frowned and turned to Hou Junji and said, "What do you think of General Manager Hou?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
