    At the end of May in the fourth year of Daye, Yang Guang worshiped Huang Mingyuan as the general manager of the march to Xihai Road, and commanded an army of 250,000 to conquer Tuyuhun.

    Let Liang Mo, the general manager of Lingzhou, be the general manager of the march on Zhangye Road; Duan Wenzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, should be the general manager of the march on Wuwei Road; Yang Yichen, the minister of the Imperial Palace, should be the general manager of the march on Xiping Road; Tu Wanxu, the general manager of Hezhou, should be the general manager of the march on Shuhe Road;  General Zhang Dinghe is the general manager of the march on Qinghai Road; General Wei Xuan of Youhou Wei is the general manager of the march on Jishi Road; General Zhang Shou of Youyiwei is the general manager of the march of Linqiang Road; Wei Weiqing Liu Quan is the general manager of the march of Haixi Road.  .

    The army was divided into nine divisions and approached Tuyuhun from several directions.

    Yang Guang also ordered to take the opportunity to patrol the counties in Longyou and Hexi eastward.

    After receiving this edict, Huang Mingyuan felt a little helpless in his heart. Such division of troops and march was actually the result of a compromise.  During the Northern Expedition to the Turks, most people were not optimistic about Huang Mingyuan's thousands-mile expedition, so not many people fought for the position of a general who sent troops. His troops of more than 100,000 were all under the command of Huang Mingyuan.

    But now the expedition to Tuyuhun is obviously a war to gain military merit, so many people are rushing to get a quota and go on the expedition together.

    In fact, for Huang Mingyuan, 50,000 cavalry and infantry were enough to conquer Tuyuhun, and any more would be a waste.  According to Huang Mingyuan's idea, the army can adapt to the plateau climate for about three months near the Longyou Plateau, and then go straight to Fuqi City.  Force the opponent to fight the Sui army decisively.

    In the cavalry duel between the two sides, Huang Mingyuan was confident that he could defeat Tuyuhun's 100,000 troops with 50,000 elite troops.

    But the current result is obviously different from what Huang Mingyuan imagined. The troops are divided into nine divisions and the contract is carried out to suppress the enemy. It seems that a dragnet has been laid for Tuyuhun, but in fact, Tuyuhun is not so strong in every way.  Once one or two armies are defeated, the entire encirclement will be torn apart.

    But Huang Mingyuan cannot yet object to this entry model.

    Everyone is thinking about gaining military merit. If Huang Mingyuan lets most people go back, he will not be the enemy of the entire military class.

    And it won¡¯t work to join forces to attack together.  Tens of thousands of cavalry went straight to Huanglong. This was because the troops were small and fast, and they could make full use of the advantages of cavalry to fight the enemy decisively.  But if you attack with so many troops, there will be even more support staff.  When the time comes, let alone a long-distance attack, even an ordinary march will not be fast.  And when they arrived at the border of the West Sea, Tuyuhun's army might have fled before they even saw the Sui army. Who would fight the Sui army in a decisive battle?

    Could it be that Huang Mingyuan led an army of 250,000 to run behind Tuyuhun?

    Therefore, in order to encircle the opponent, we have to divide our troops and bear the risk of defeat.  It's like asking Huang Mingyuan to attack Tuyuhun alone with an army of 50,000 people. It takes three months to eliminate Tuyuhun, and his own losses will not exceed 10,000 people.  But now that the army has increased five times, the result is that we may not be able to win in half a year, and the losses can even reach 100,000 people.

    Do you think this result is a trap?

    But now we have to fight like this, because everyone wants to share the merits of this battle.

    Especially after Yang Guang exempted everyone from their titles and honors, many people became white officials. Without merit, they would never be promoted in their lifetime.  The reason for the previous expedition to Yiwu was that no one wanted to stay in the Western Regions to eat sand after victory, but this time following the God of War, the credit was not guaranteed.

    Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to maintain it.

    The army gathered from various places in June and rushed to Longyou, Hexi and other places. By the time the assembly was completed and waiting to go out, it was already early August.

    The weather is about to turn cold at this time, and there will be a blizzard soon. Let alone Tuyuhun, it will be good to escape unscathed.

    Huang Mingyuan doesn¡¯t want to gamble his luck with God!

    The imperial court had spent so much effort, and everyone was eagerly looking at the achievements of the Western Expedition, so it was impossible to postpone it.  So Huang Mingyuan knew that no matter what, he had to deal with Tuyuhun as quickly as possible and then return safely with the army.

    You can¡¯t lose!

    Huang Mingyuan also had to admit that one day he would be burdened by fame.

    Chen Yuan once advised Huang Mingyuan that it was best not to take on this task.  If you win, it means little; if you lose, your reputation will be lost.

    It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t retreat.

    Huang Mingyuan led his troops to Yunwu County and invited all the generals to come here to discuss military affairs.

    " Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but not be so tossing. At this critical moment, this group of arrogant people had to be reined in.  At least let them know they will die if they don't obey.

    Everyone came as ordered.  Many people are very aware of Huang Mingyuan's character. They know that under Huang Mingyuan, they are not afraid of losing the battle, but they are afraid of disobeying orders. Therefore, no one dares to offend Huang Mingyuan on such an occasion.

    ? ?I thought that this was the case, but unexpectedly something happened again.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s scheduled arrival time in Yunwu County is August 15th, because Huang Mingyuan is already preparing to launch an attack on Tuyuhun in late August.  Most of the generals from various ministries came from Luoyang and Chang'an, so there was no one who was against the times.  However, Li Wei, the general manager of Kuozhou who was located in Longyou and was responsible for the defense of Tuyuhun, did not arrive for a long time.

    Li Wei is the son of Li Mu's nephew Li Ji, Duke of Dunhuang County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father Li Ji was once the princess of Yigui in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was posthumously gifted the envoy Chijie Shangkaifu Yitong to the general of the third division, Cao Xuqiao, the governor of the three states.  Li Wei himself inherited his father's title when he was very young and was loved by Li Muyou. Therefore, after entering the Sui Dynasty, although Li Wei's abilities were average, he was promoted along the way and became the general manager of Kuozhou. He became the core figure of the Li family.

    After Li Hun was humiliated by Huang Mingyuan, Li Wei was very angry and felt that his family had been humiliated.  This time Huang Mingyuan summoned the generals to discuss military matters, but Li Wei deliberately delayed his arrival in order to humiliate Huang Mingyuan.

    Of course, Li Wei also knew that Huang Mingyuan was very capable, so he deliberately arrived at Yunwu on the evening of August 15th.  And like this, even though Huang Mingyuan was angry, he couldn't help it.

    Huang Mingyuan sometimes feels grateful to the Li family. Whenever he wants to establish his authority, someone always jumps out to help.

    Huang Mingyuan immediately ordered Li Wei to be arrested.

    Li Wei was furious and roared in court that Huang Mingyuan was unfair.  He thought that he had not exceeded the deadline, so how could he be punished, so he shouted that Huang Mingyuan was avenging his private revenge.

    Huang Mingyuan smiled and said: "I set the deadline for August 15th, which is based on the past half of the Shen hour. When you arrived at Yunwu City, it was already past the You hour, half an hour overdue, so there is nothing wrong with my handling of you."

    Li Wei was stunned. He was looking at August 15th. He didn't care about the specific time. Besides, the time of the day is based on the setting sun.

    Li Wei was confused for a moment, and Huang Mingyuan shouted directly: "Li Wei didn't come overdue, and he roared at the big tent again, pushed it out and killed him."

    Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

    Li Wei is not an ordinary person. He is a member of Shen Guogong's lineage. He is also the general manager of the general administration and an important general of the country.  Everyone came forward to remonstrate, but Huang Mingyuan ignored them. He waved his hand and asked people to take Li Wei away.

    Everyone in the tent looked at each other in shock. Only Li Wei's roar gradually faded away in the tent until it was no longer audible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
