Chapter 297
After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin decided to listen to Su Chen's opinion.
"Go on."
Su Chen nodded slowly, touched his chin, and asked:
"Have you ever heard of the lightning tactics of the General of the Cavalry? Yes, the one who sealed the wolf and lived in Xu."
Everyone nodded first, and then shook their heads in unison.
Nodding because they all knew Huo the Cavalry, and shaking their heads because they had never heard of the lightning tactics.
"Lightning tactics?"
"That's right, lightning war. Fighting the enemy is as fleeting as lightning, so that the enemy can't figure out where they came from after being hit.
Lightning is what you call sky fire.
When thunder strikes, a burst of sparks and lightning disappears in an instant."
Li Shimin was thoughtful after hearing this, and said:
"What was the military tactic of the General of the Cavalry who went deep into the heart of the Xiongnu, raided the Xiongnu army and defeated it?"
"That's right, it's that military tactic."
Su Chen thought that what was shown in the film and television was different from what people in the Tang Dynasty knew.
It seems to be true.
Blitzkrieg, perhaps a name given by later generations, there is no such saying now.
"Do you mean that I will form a raiding team and go deep into the heart of the Turks?" Li Shimin seemed to understand Su Chen's thoughts and said.
Su Chen shook his head, "No!"
"Blitzkrieg, in fact, is similar to what Uncle Changsun said before, the tactics used by the Turks to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, coming and going without a trace."
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, as if he had some nostalgia, but it disappeared in an instant.
"A great man gave blitzkrieg a new soul.
And there is a new tactical name:
Guerrilla warfare!"
Li Shimin observed that Su Chen's expression had just changed in an instant, and he was very confused.
But he didn't have time to think about it at this time.
"Great man? Soul? Guerrilla warfare?"
Li Shimin murmured as if he was talking to himself.
"Yes, great man, a man born great!" Su Chen explained heavily.
"Guerrilla warfare is simple and easy to understand. Its essence is nothing more than sixteen words: when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
Li Shimin savored the sixteen words carefully.
He was the emperor on horseback and the general of Tiance, and he quickly grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare.
"Great, small-scale combat, if guerrilla tactics are adopted, it can be called an invincible strategy.
Only by taking the unexpected can you achieve a surprise victory, great!"
Li Shimin nodded frequently, and suddenly asked:
"Where is the great man you mentioned now? I would like to make him a general!"
Li Shimin was in high spirits and immediately decided to recruit this great man under his command.
Su Chen heard the words, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You may not be able to invite him. He is on the same level as you, and he doesn't think highly of you.
Tangzong and Songzu are slightly inferior in literary talent! You are not cultured enough.
What are you looking at? I'm talking about you."
"Boy, what's your expression?" Li Shimin actually saw a trace of contempt in Su Chen's eyes.
Su Chen was immediately brought back to his senses by Li Shimin's shout.
"Uh, Your Majesty.
The great man is not in the Tang Dynasty. He is from my hometown, you don't know him!"
Li Shimin wanted to continue asking about the great man, but was pulled back by Empress Changsun.
"Well, tell me how you plan to take the initiative."
Su Chen picked up the teacup and wanted to drink some tea and clear his throat.
There was no tea in the cup, and Li Chengqian immediately stood up to refill Su Chen's cup.
"Thank you!"
After drinking the tea, Su Chen put away his usual lazy look.
Slowly said:
"I think so. Instead of guarding against the Turkic attack, it is better to take the initiative. Create chaos within the Turkic territory, so that they can't take care of themselves and everyone is in danger.
Specific methods are:
Form a special team of 200 people.
One person and one horse, except for the necessary weapons and equipment, nothing else, light travel is convenient for long-distance raids.
No burden on the body, convenient for escape.
When entering the Turkic territory, just stab them in the ass, don't fight the Turkish cavalry head-on.
Run away immediately after being discovered, shoot and move to another place.
Create chaos everywhere, and kill anyone who sees a lone Turkish cavalry.
Flexibly use the sixteen-character motto of guerrilla tactics, I believe there is no problem in saving your life."
Su Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and everyone was stunned.
But everyone thought that the method Su Chen said was indeed feasible and reasonable.
"Boy, as you said, how can the food and grass supply keep up?" Li Shimin thought of the key point and questioned.
Every general who has led troops knows the importance of logistics.
"Without food and grass supplies, the special forces will eat whatever they can grab!" Su Chen shook his head and said confidently.
"Hiss~!"
Li Shimin took a breath after hearing this answer.
If this is the case, who should be sent to die?
Marching and fighting, without food and grass supplies?
Haha, who will go??
"Your Majesty, think about it, the Turks must have a lot of cattle and sheep, and the problem of feeding two hundred people must be solved.
Although there is no food and grass supply, I will prepare a medical first aid kit for them.
That is a life-saving item, and it doesn't take up space. Just put it in the saddlebag of the saddle.
The first task of the special team is to save lives. If you can save your life in the Turkic territory, it is equivalent to half of the success.
As for burning, killing and looting, it is incidental." Su Chen explained.
Li Shimin slowly digested what Su Chen said, and after thinking and analyzing it again and again.
It seems to be feasible.
I think there is a lot to do.
Li Shimin nodded silently, thinking:
"Who should be sent to die?
No, which beloved general should be sent to perform this special mission?"
"I think this method is feasible. What do you think, Fu Ji and Xuan Cheng?" Li Shimin asked after thinking for a while.
"Although this method is risky, it is worth a try.
Maybe you can get unexpected surprises, but it is still unknown!"
Changsun Wuji took the lead in expressing his opinion, and he was not a military general.
Whoever wants to try, go ahead and die.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and nodded silently, which was considered to be in agreement with the emperor's intention.
Li Shimin first informed them of his decision, and then asked for their opinions.
As a minister, what else can I say.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Assistant, after returning to the relevant matters of guerrilla warfare, carefully organize them into a document.
The proper use of guerrilla tactics and winning with fewer troops are by no means empty talk."
"I obey your order!"
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Su Chen and smiled slightly:
"Haha, you proposed the guerrilla tactics, who do you think should be sent as the general?"
Li Shimin found that the few people recommended by Su Chen were all very capable.
Let's not talk about the distant ones, just talk about Ma Zhou.
Now Li Shimin values Ma Zhou more and more.
Ma Zhou now not only has to manage the newspaper, but also has to help Fang Xuanling and handle some government affairs.
He never drags his feet in doing things, and is vigorous and resolute.
Ma Zhou is still very young and energetic, and he never tires of the arrangements made by His Majesty.
If he can't kill him, he will work to death.
So now Li Shimin is getting more and more relaxed.
Otherwise, where would he get a weekend off to rest.
Su Chen listened to Li Shimin's question, thought about it, and asked:
"Is there a person named: Hou Junji?"
