Li Yi had actually taken down Pan County without expending a single soldier!
He was currently instructing the deputy general,"
"You have to do something."
"Other than the five thousand White Turban soldiers I took in in Xiang County, only the young and strong are left.”
"I've calculated. Out of the forty thousand soldiers, there are probably more than ten thousand old, weak, women, and children.”
"Find a place to settle them down in Pan County and then redistribute the Turkic armor, warhorses, and weapons.”
At this moment!
The scout suddenly rushed into the camp and said anxiously,"
"General, there's an urgent report!"
Li Yi dismissed the deputy general and the others in the tent before waving at him.
"Get up and talk. What's going on?”
The scout stood up respectfully and cupped his fists.
"Reporting to General, the Turkic scouts are currently spreading the news of their search through Youzhou. I heard that Jie Li and Tuli Khagan have declared that if they find any traces of our army, they will besiege it with two hundred thousand soldiers!”
As he spoke, his face was filled with anxiety and panic.
In his view, the forty thousand men on his side were no match for the Turkic army of two hundred thousand!
The scout wanted to say something, but he did not dare to act rashly in front of the commander. He could only shut his mouth.
At this moment, Li Yi smiled and said,
"I understand. You may leave.”
His expression was very happy, causing the scout's small head to be filled with big question marks.
He waited until he was the only one left in the tent.
Only then did Li Yi laugh out loud!
Jie Li, ah Jie Li, this was really a path to heaven that you didn't take, but came barging into hell!
This was exactly what Li Yi wanted!
In fact, Li Yi's plan had already taken shape yesterday, but the most important point was that he had not had a clue before.
That was how to attack the Turks.
Now that the main city of Youzhou had been broken, all the villages and counties had been plundered.
Youzhou was in a mess.
If Li Yi had scared off the Turks with his three thousand men, he would not have known what to do.
Once the Turks retreated, they would retreat back to the Northern Desert Plains!
Why had the Turks never been able to kill them?
Because they were nomads. If they couldn't find a fixed settlement, how could they be destroyed?
It was precisely because of this that if the Turks retreated, Li Yi would not be able to pursue them deep into the grasslands.
Firstly, they did not have enough manpower, and secondly, they were worried about getting lost.
He wouldn't risk his subordinates 'lives unless he had absolute confidence.
The current situation was exactly what Li Yi wanted!
If the Turks didn't retreat, he would have a chance to avenge the people of Youzhou!
"How do I attract the Turkic army…"
he murmured, a thoughtful look on his face.
He wanted to let the Turkic scouts know that he, Li Yi, was in Pan County!
......
Half a day later.
On the city wall of Pan County, a large flag was raised, fluttering in the wind.
Li Yi!
It was Li Yi's commander flag!
With the eyesight of the Turkic scouts, they would be able to see such a high banner even several li away.
Li Yi looked at the commander's flag in satisfaction.
Weren't the main forces of the Turks looking for him?
He would let the Turks see that he, Li Yi, was in Pan County!
This was not because Li Yi was too arrogant.
This was the only way for the Turkic army to find him as soon as possible.
He didn't want to go through the trouble of sending his subordinates to provoke the Turks and draw them over.
This method was arrogant.
However, it was the fastest and most time-saving!
Since the Turks had declared that they wanted to eliminate Li Yi, they would definitely reach Pan County after searching through every county.
There was another problem.
There were too many refugees in Youzhou.
After conquering the thirteen counties, Li Yi also understood the situation of the commoners.
When the Turks attacked their cities, many commoners had tried to flee.
Along the way, the army had absorbed many refugees.
They were all poor homeless people. Before they met Li Yi, they could only hide in the mountains.
Because if the Turks discovered them, they would either die or become slaves!
There were a large number of refugees, but they were scattered all over Youzhou. Even if Li Yi wanted to create a shelter for them, he could not find them in a short time.
He was very short of manpower, and it was impossible for him to send a large number of people to search for refugees.
However, things were different now.
He placed his commander's flag on the city wall of Pan County!
The reason why refugees were refugees was because they were mobile.
Moreover, the refugees spread the news the most widely, and the radius of the radiation was also the largest!
With Li Yi's five years of experience in Youzhou, his name was probably more useful than Li Shimin's personal expedition.
The toughness that had kept the Turks outside their borders countless times.
It was a strategy that had never failed in hundreds of battles.
At least in those five years, Youzhou was never invaded and looted, and the people were obviously rich.
Therefore, even if Li Yi had nothing, his name was still a golden signboard!
Li Yi looked into the distance and smiled.
Once the commander's flag was raised, the people would spread the word of mouth.
They would definitely come and vote!
