Chapter 91 Battle Plan

At the end of March in the third year of Kaihuang's reign (583), all 70,000 Sui troops gathered in Shuozhou. Yang Shuang immediately sent his troops northward towards Wuchuan to meet the main Turkic force outside Daqingshan.

Wuchuan is one of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Together with Huaishuo Town on the west side, Wuchuan gave birth to many Xianbei heroes, such as Gao Huan, Yuwentai, He Bayue and others, who led the trend of the north for more than half a century.

The armies in Shuozhou left their bases one after another. Cui Che led the army and walked with Li Chong. Along the way, he not only asked him about the art of war, but also paid attention to the experience and methods of Li Chong's army.

For example, how to choose a location for setting up camp, how many scouts to send when marching, etc.

For Cui Che, seeing Li Chong lead the army in person was far better than staying behind and reading military books.

In the past half month since he left Mayi, Shuozhou, Cui Che had almost squeezed Li Chong dry. The two were both teachers and friends, and their relationship became increasingly close.

Until April 12, the Sui army arrived at Baidao and met the main Turkic force. The two sides camped twenty miles apart and faced each other.

Baidao is named after the white-gray color of its soil. It is located in the majestic Daqing Mountains and is an important transportation hub for the north and south. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Wuchuan Town was established in the Northern Wei Dynasty to control Baidao.

"The Zhou Dynasty and Qi Dynasty are fighting each other, and the Central Plains is in internal strife. Whenever the Turks invade the border, they are unwilling to fight with them and compete with each other to bribe the enemy. Therefore, the Turks have the intention to despise China. Now that the troops from the east are attacking, they will be unprepared. If they use

If we attack with fine cavalry, we will surely defeat the enemy!"

At the military meeting, Li Chong stood up, talked eloquently, and offered advice to Yang Shuang.

However, no one agreed with this proposal. The generals were whispering among themselves, and most of them were skeptical.

As a miscellaneous general, Cui Che was originally not qualified to participate in this military meeting, but his special identity was not a secret in the military camp. Yang Shuang also looked at him differently and always called him into the account every time there was a discussion.

In the past, Cui Che seldom spoke and listened intently. But today, when Li Chong needed support the most, Cui Che no longer remained silent. He stood up and said passionately:

"Che has a saying, Photography relies on the magnificence of the army and has the intention of underestimating me. It is better for the army to retreat tomorrow to show that the enemy is weak. It will also make Photography lax and careless, thinking that we are weak, and then go back that night as General Manager Li said

, attack the camp with fine cavalry, and you can win a great victory!

"Che believes that being prepared means being unprepared. Although there are many enemies, the advantage lies with me!"

Hearing this, Li Chong cast a grateful look at Cui Che. Although Cui Che was soft-spoken, he still had a voice of support.

With the first supporter, the second supporter also stood up. Marshal Shi Li Cheben agreed with Li Chong's strategy of attacking the enemy with fine cavalry. The main reason was that the Turkic people and horses were strong. If they really wanted to fight head-on, this place under Daqing Mountain

The 70,000 Sui troops may not be able to defeat the Turkic main force of more than 100,000 troops.

After listening to Cui Che's addition, he used the strategy of retreating to further paralyze the photoshoot and increase his chances of winning. This was worth a try.

Before Yang Shuang left the capital, his brother Yang Jian had carefully warned him to humbly listen to the suggestions of Li Chong and Li Che. At this time, seeing that Li Che also expressed support for Li Chong and Cui Che's plan, Yang Shuang asked

To Li Chong:

"How many troops and horses does Mr. Li need?"

Li Manhuai said confidently:

"Five thousand riders are enough!"

Perhaps influenced by Li Chong's confidence, or perhaps feeling that the five thousand cavalry required was not too much compared to the 70,000 infantry cavalry and that it was worth a try, Yang Shuang immediately agreed to the plan.

Now that the plan was decided and the generals dispersed, Yang Shuang still wanted to discuss the details with Li Chong, but Cui Che turned around and came back before leaving the tent.

"Che has five hundred cavalry and pawns under his command. I am willing to accompany General Manager Li to fight against the thieves. Please accept your permission, Your Majesty!"

Yang Shuang was shocked when he heard this. Of course he disagreed. It was unusual to attack the enemy camp at night. If something went wrong, how would he explain it to Yang Lihua?

But Cui Che was determined to follow Li Chong to attack the camp. He insisted:

"With your majesty as a king, you even go to the front line in person. With the merits of General Manager Li, you even need to take risks to attack the camp. They are all serving the country with the army. What should Che have to fear! If the king doesn't allow it, the general will kneel in the tent today!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Chong, as if he was saying, Old Li, I helped you just now, it's your turn to speak for me this time.

Li Chong had always been an emotional person when he was a boy. What Cui Che did now also made Li Chong vaguely see himself as a boy, even though he is only in his early twenties now.

After receiving Cui Che's message asking for help, Li Chong immediately persuaded Yang Shuang for him.

With Li Che's help, Yang Shuang finally relaxed and sighed:

"Forget it! Since Zicheng has the heart to serve the country, I can't stop him. I will let you lead the cavalry and follow Mr. Li to attack the thieves tomorrow night."

Cui Che was overjoyed and said:

"Finally, thank you, Your Majesty, for your success!"

Yang Shuang watched Cui Che leave the handsome tent and asked him to take care of himself with Yang Lihua in mind. In the end, he did not say it, but he fell in love with Cui Che, a brave, resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable young man.

, Lihua really did not misjudge the person.

Then he continued to discuss with Li Chong.

Cui Che returned to his camp and did not reveal any information to his subordinate Bu Qu. He even kept it secret from Zhang Wu.

That night, Cui Che tossed and turned. When he thought about tomorrow, he had no intention of sleeping. He was not sleepy at all, so he just adjusted his schedule in advance to prepare for tomorrow's night attack.

On April 13th, the third year of Kaihuang's reign (583), in the early morning, the Sui army broke camp and retreated, retreating for more than thirty miles before setting up camp again.

The Turkic Sentinel reported this information and took a picture. Sure enough, he thought the Sui army was afraid when taking the picture. He laughed with everyone and said:

"There is no one in the Central Plains, and a yellow-haired boy is in command. Seeing the power of our army, he is really frightened."

The contempt was palpable. Li Chong and Cui Che had previously said that they underestimated the enemy, but there was one reason they did not reveal, and that was Yang Shuang.

How could Yang Shuang, a 21-year-old young man with no combat experience, attract the attention of the photographer?

Photographer decisively ordered:

"Pass my military order to advance the entire army thirty miles and set up camp. As much as the Sui army retreats, our army will advance as much as possible!"

He obviously wanted to press him step by step and put pressure on Yang Shuang. When the yellow-haired boy could not bear the pressure and ran south in large numbers, he would then lead the army in pursuit and give the 70,000 Sui troops a fatal blow.

Under the command of Shetu, the Turkic and Sui armies once again camped twenty miles apart.

After nightfall, Cui Che urgently summoned five hundred knights under his command. Everyone gathered in front of Cui Che's tent, but they didn't know why.

'We can't be allowed to fight the Turks.'

Cavalryman Zhang Heng thought to himself.

He asked his friend Wang Qing, who was also confused.

When the two of them were whispering to each other, someone from behind reminded them:

"Silence, the little man is coming out."

Zhang Heng and Wang Qing quickly shut their mouths.

Although Cui Che had left his subordinates under the command of Zhang Wu for a long time and served as an official in other places, he had a high prestige in the hearts of these people.

After all, he committed a serious crime of treason and nothing happened, and he even wanted to marry Princess Leping.

Cui Lu and more than 60 people who had deserted him before had been abandoned in the wilderness long ago to be eaten by wild dogs.

The first update tomorrow should be before 6pm.
