"Give me the map!"
Li Yuanba saw Li Shiming looking at him and shouted. A guard of the Eastern Palace walked in from outside Li Zheng Hall, holding a rolled up cloth in his hand.
Li Yuanba had spent a lot of effort and money on this map. He had used 100 points to exchange for a satellite map from the system.
But thinking that this map would be too shocking, he took out a map drawn by the Great Tang and made some changes to it. Only after he had redrawn most of the main locations of the battle did Li Yuanba give up.
As for the south or other places, Li Yuanba didn't care.
"Open it!"
The guard walked up to Li Yuanba, who spoke softly.
Then, with the help of a servant, the guard opened the map.
When the piece of cloth was opened, everyone present took a deep breath. This was because this map was too detailed.
From small villages and cities to large mountains and rivers, everything was marked on it. They also used contours to divide the terrain between the regions and used different colors to divide the topography.
It could be said that compared to the later generations, this map was so simple that it was ridiculous. However, in this era, this map could be said to be the most detailed map in the world.
As a military commander, Li Shi Min instantly understood the value of this map.
If there was such a map in a war, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Third brother, is this map real?”
Li Shi Min reached out his hand and touched the map carefully, as if he was afraid of damaging it.
"Nonsense! This map was drawn by my master after spending several years traveling through Guanzhong, Longyou, Hexi, and Mobei.
There's only one in the world. If it wasn't for the fact that this battle is too important, I wouldn't even want to take it out!”
Sometimes, Li Yuanba needed someone to take the blame for him, and that person was his master, Immortal Zi Yang. It was impossible for Li Yuanba to tell Li Shimin, I drew this map by myself. In addition, I have a detailed world map at home that I got from the system.
Therefore, he threw the blame on his master. Anyway, Immortal Zi Yang was nowhere to be found.
Li Shiming's eyes were burning with desire. Li Yuanba waved his hand in front of his eyes and said,"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to get this map?”
"Nonsense! Why would I do such a thing?"
In the eyes of those officials, Li Er was a wise and mighty boss. In Li Yuanba's hands, Li Er was a ruthless man who would do anything for power.
If he wasn't Li Yuanba, Li Er would have already started to rob him.
Li Yuanba pursed his lips and was too lazy to talk to Li Er. He walked in front of the map and said,"Please take a look. According to our intelligence, the Turkic Jie Li Khagan's army has bypassed the northern barrier of Shuofang and is heading south from the foot of the Yin Mountains. At present, the army of Jie Li Khan had already reached Jingzhou.
With the speed of the Turkic cavalry, it would only take them four to five days to cover a distance of five hundred li to the north of the Wei River.
Right now, our army only has 60,000 cavalrymen. The remaining infantry could only rely on the Wei River to block the attacks of the Turkic cavalry!”
Li Yuanba's explanation was simple, and everyone present understood. At the same time, Lie Ru Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Li Jing, Chai Shao, Xue Wanche, Yuchi Gong, and the others all looked at the map with solemn expressions.
On this map, they could clearly see that the distance from Jingzhou, which was the Pingliang area in the northeast of Gansu Province, to Chang 'an was only about 500 to 600 miles.
Moreover, the road was flat, and if the infantry crossed the Wei River to fight the Turkic cavalry, they would definitely lose more than win. Thus, it was destined that in this war, the infantry could only adopt a defensive stance.
Otherwise, the 200,000 cavalrymen would definitely be defeated by the tens of thousands of infantry.
Their only chance of winning was the 60,000 cavalry under Li Yuanba.
····
Li Yuanba paused for a moment before continuing,"It will still be a few days before the Turkic cavalry reaches the Wei River, and according to this king's predictions, since the Turkic cavalry is heading south, they will not care about the other prefectures and counties. Their target is definitely Chang 'an, so this king thinks that the best place for them to cross the river is forty li northwest of Chang' an.”
Li Yuanba turned to Chen Yaojin and said,"" Cheng Yaojin, this afternoon, your Right Military Guards will immediately go to the Wei River in the northwest of Chang 'an. Send a team of soldiers across the river and bury a large number of mines on the north bank of the Wei River, leaving a long enough lead. At the same time, a large number of horse traps were dug on the north bank of the Wei River.
In addition, he sprinkled a large amount of gunpowder on the ground and cut down a large number of trees and pillars to make barricades against the Turkic cavalry.”
"I accept your orders!"
When it came to serious matters, especially war matters, Cheng Yaojin no longer had his usual cheeky expression.
Li Yuanba nodded, then turned to Niu Jinda and Hou Junji."Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, I don't care what position you held or what important position you held. From now on, the two of you will follow me and temporarily take up your duties in the cavalry.
"As for the specifics, I'll give you the specifics when you come to the Zhao Estate later.”
Li Yuanba then looked at Li Jing and said,""You have a low-level general named Su Dingfang.”
