Xue Rengui gave everyone a big surprise.
The Caucasus Mountain Range was the natural moat that separated the two countries.
However, if this natural chasm could be crossed, it would be great news for Great Qian Empire!
"According to that soldier, that path is at this location in the Caucasus Mountains. It's a narrow canyon that can directly pass through the entire mountain range.
However, this path was extremely narrow and could only accommodate one person and one horse, so few people had discovered it.”
Xue Rengui repeated the soldier's answer.
The moment these words were said, everyone immediately boiled over.
"If I can cross the Caucasus Mountains, I only need 50,000 light soldiers and I can march straight into the capital of the Persian Empire!”
Xue Wanche's eyes were bright and his tone was resolute.
After crossing the Caucasus Mountains, the Da Qian army would be able to enter the heartland of the Persian Empire.
At that time, how could the Persian Empire resist?
One had to know that the Caucasus Mountains had always been a natural barrier between the two countries. No one would have thought that this natural moat would one day be crossed!
"I only need 30,000 to capture the Emperor of Persia alive and bring him before His Majesty.”
Su Dingfang requested.
"Your Majesty! I can take ten thousand men and raid the capital of Persia. Capturing the Emperor of Persia will be as easy as taking out a bag!”
Feng Li also stood up and patted his chest loudly.
Then, the remaining generals began to fight.
"I'll pay 8,000!"
"I'll pay 6,000!"
"Humph! I only want 3,000!"
.........
"Silence!"
Seeing the generals 'words getting more and more ridiculous, Li Chengdao couldn't help but fly into a rage again, suppressing all the voices.
"Why don't you all go alone? It just so happens to save food for my army!”
All the generals shrunk their necks, not daring to reply.
After berating the generals, Li Chengdao's expression eased a little, and then he returned his gaze to the sand table.
"Behind the Caucasus Mountain Range is the heart of the Persian Empire. Three hundred miles away is the capital of the Persian Empire, Cecil.
If he wanted to occupy the Persian Empire at the lowest cost, the best way was to capture their capital and capture the Persian Emperor alive.”
Li Chengdao pointed at a corner of the sand table and said,"
"Look here, this is the border between our Great Gan and the Persian Empire. The Persian Empire's army is deployed in this area, and according to investigations, there are about 300,000 soldiers.
300,000 is more than half of the Persian Empire's military strength, but as far as I know, they still have an elite force of 100,000 to guard the Imperial Capital.
If they wanted to ambush Bosi, they would not be able to avoid them.”
Li Chengdao had ordered the Shadow Guards to gather a large amount of information about the Persian Empire, so he had a deep understanding of it.
"In that case, we can just let the Persian Empire take the initiative to transfer this army away.”
Li Ji took the initiative to say as he began to deduce on the war sandbox.
"We only need to use a tough method after the battle starts. Once the battle starts, we will cause a large number of casualties to them and not give them any time to breathe.
This action will let them know our determination to conquer Persia. They will definitely feel great pressure.
In this way, while requesting help from other countries, they would definitely try their best to maintain the front line. The 100,000 soldiers guarding the Imperial Capital would definitely be sent out to help.
At that time, when the defense of the Persian capital was weak, they would send an army through the Caucasus Mountains to attack Tresiphon. Once they captured it, they would be able to win!”
Li Ji undoubtedly had great military talent and foresight, and the plans he made were very detailed and thoughtful.
"If the Persian Empire refuses to send troops to the front line, what should we do?”
After hearing Li Ji's plan, Wei Zheng asked.
Li Ji smiled faintly and said," If they don't send reinforcements, then they'll give up on the surprise attack on the imperial capital. Instead, they'll work together from the inside and outside to eat up this 300,000-strong army!”
Li Ji had made two preparations for this plan, so he wouldn't lose out no matter what.
If they devoured the 300,000 soldiers of the Persian Empire, would the Persian Empire still have the ability to resist?
They probably wouldn't even be able to hold out against reinforcements from other countries!
It was only a matter of time before he lost.
"Very good, this plan is feasible."
Wang Gui stroked his beard and approved of Li Ji's plan.
If even he, the strategist, agreed to it, it meant that there was no problem with the plan.
"But in terms of sending troops, what does Li Shuai plan to do?”
Li Ji opened his mouth to speak, but Li Chengdao suddenly interrupted him,""Send 100,000 troops to attack the capital of Persia!”
His tone was resolute.
Everyone looked over in surprise.
A hundred thousand soldiers attacking a defenseless Persian capital was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
"Even a lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone a colossus like the Persian Empire."
There must be no changes to the plan. They had to resolve this war as quickly as possible!”
After saying that, he looked at Xue Rengui.
"I'll leave this surprise attack mission to you. I hope that the 100,000 crusaders you trained won't disappoint me.”
Xue Rengui was instantly moved. Without any hesitation, he cupped his fists and knelt down. He said in a deep voice,"This general is willing to make a military pledge! If you don't break Persia, you won't return!"
"Zhen agrees!"
Li Chengdao agreed with an extraordinary aura.
He then looked at the generals and said," This expedition will take thousands of miles. Great Qian needs someone to guard the rear and guard against Arabia. At the same time, we need to prevent the old forces of Byzantine from rebelling.”
"Which general is willing to volunteer to stay in the empire?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence.
Wherever Li Chengdao's gaze swept, all the generals did not dare to look at him. They either looked away or lowered their heads.
It wasn't that this mission was difficult, but that no one was willing to stay!
Compared to staying in the safety of the Empire, they were more willing to fight on the battlefield of blood and fire, danger and death!
This was the fate of a general!
Staying in the empire was a choice only a coward would make, even though it was very important.
Therefore, no one volunteered.
Li Chengdao was not surprised by this result. He said directly,"Since no one is willing to take the initiative to volunteer, then let me choose.”
All the generals felt their hearts in their throats.
All of them were extremely nervous, afraid that Li Chengdao would point them out.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Li Chengdao slowly opened his mouth.
"General Luo Yi, zhen will hand over the heavy responsibility of guarding the empire to you.”
Among the generals, Luo Yi suddenly raised his head, his face pale!
