Chang'an.

"If the war is unfavorable, Guiyi Army and others can retreat to Liangzhou when necessary. With Hexi and Lingwu towns as support, Guiyi Army and the imperial guards must defend Liangzhou, which is basically a sure thing."

Li Ye rubbed his eyebrows and said to Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others in the hall. The situation has been tense recently, and he has been in charge of the Secretariat to facilitate negotiations with officials at all levels.

"If Wang Jian cannot defend the Steamed Gorge and the Five-Foot Road, he can also take a step back to defend Yizhou. This is the bottom line. In any case, the land in Shu cannot be filled with beacons. Ensuring that Hexi and Shu are not lost is what we must guarantee in this battle."

After saying this, Li Ye stopped, picked up the teacup and moistened his throat.

Since the first conferred Nanzhao and the report of defeat in Yangguan has been passed back, the recent reports of defeat in the two places have been reported. Although it is not as serious as at the beginning, it should not be underestimated. As a long-time general on the battlefield, Li Ye certainly knew that this was inevitable, just like aftershocks always occur after a severe earthquake.

Whether it is the fall of Yangguan, the loss of a major barrier in Guiyi's army, or the heavy losses of Wang Jian's main army will cause a war situation where one rises and the other falls. When the position has not stabilized, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to block the fierce attack of the superior cultivators of Nanzhao and the Uighurs' superior cultivators.

Only when the monks sent by Li Ye rushed over can they help the two sides stabilize the situation. Li Ye combined all aspects of the situation, calculated the process of affairs, and finally formulated a bottom line that cannot be lost in Liangzhou and Chengdu.

After everyone stepped back, Li Ye closed his eyes and thought quietly about the current situation.

Although the victory or defeat of the Immortal Realm can give back to the mortal war, Li Ye dare not say that he is confident whether the Immortal Realm battle can be won. No one knows whether an accident will happen if there is no result. Even in his heart, the power of the Shimen, Taoist sect, and demon clan coalition forces is greater than that of the Khitan, Uighur, Nanzhao and other immortal armies.

In order to avoid the situation where eggs are beaten up in a basket, Li Ye’s arrangements for the war in the world must also work towards victory.

It is not difficult to stabilize the battle situation in Hexi and Shuzhong, but the most challenging thing is the war in the North.

Defeating the Khitan will lead to victory in this war. This is Li Ye’s judgment since the beginning of the war. When the situation develops to the current situation, he still has this judgment.

Li Maozhen dispatched a cavalry to Shangguan Qingcheng, and the other party was preparing to attack Mobei in Yunzhou. Li Ye had agreed to this action plan. What he had to consider now is how to ensure Shangguan Qingcheng's victory to the greatest extent.

If the 70,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army were still there and attacking Mobei to break the deadlock, there would be almost no surprise for Shangguan Qingcheng. However, a non-military general and a united army would have much weaker control over the battle formation, and there would not be much time now to allow Shangguan Qingcheng to work with the soldiers.

Li Ye had no choice but to order Shangguan Qingcheng to fight, he had to do what he could. Apart from this problem, what he could do was to strengthen the strength of this army as much as possible.

The monks in the Tang Dynasty have now gone to various battlefields, even the Qingyi Yamen. If this is not the case, Li Ye will not be able to stabilize Hexi and Nanzhao. The main force of Wukong Shimen returned to Liangzhou, and the main force of Quanzhen Temple went to Shuzhong. Both sides also had to guard against the remnants of Tubo nobles.

With Chu Nanhuai and Su Emei in a foreign country, there is not much left of the cultivator power that Li Ye can use.

Just as Li Ye was thinking about these problems, an official rushed to report that a large number of students gathered outside the imperial gate, were kneeling down and asking for a war, demanding a war for the country, and also handed over a letter of request.

"Students from the School of Practice?" Li Ye took the letter of request to Zhan and glanced at it, frowned, "Why are they going to cause trouble at this time?"

Last fall, Chang'an School of Practice officially recruited students. It is less than a school year and there are only 8,000 students. Although there are many who are about to achieve real-life realm, most of them are from the early stage of Qi training. A group of chicks with wings have not yet grown, so how can they soar in the sky now?

For Li Ye, Chang'an Practice Academy is the basis for his implementation of national practice, which is the basis for his national governance, and the students in it will be of great use in the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Tang Dynasty will be in the future. Although the current war situation is stiff, it is not yet at the point where "young people" need to be sent to the battlefield.

Li Ye didn't want to pay much attention to this matter and just let a minister come forward and ask them to go back, but then he thought about it and said that the "young man"'s blood and spirit were not to be extinguished, so he asked the officials who came to report the news to bring in a few of the students in the head.

As Li Ye expected, among the students led by Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng, they were indeed Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng. Looking at their walking positions and their eyes and expressions, Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng were still the absolute leaders.

This is not surprising. Both of them fought bloody battles in Yangguan, Hexi and made military achievements for the country. Whether it is talent, character, status and identity, it is not that difficult to become student leaders.

"If you want to fight for the country, after you have finished your studies from the academy, the court can handle it well, and it is not as good as you need to send your cubs to the battlefield. If you want to make meritorious service, just do not lose your army and humiliate your country when you go to the battlefield in the future."

Li Ye recognized the other party's belief in serving the country with loyalty and expressed his attitude.

Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng looked at each other.

The former clasped his fists and said, "What Your Highness teaches is that ordinary college students should be good at studying, but we are different. We were warriors on the battlefield before, but now the country is in trouble, so we have no intention of getting into school. Please allow us to fight. When the enemy is destroyed, we will come back to continue studying!"

Chu Zheng hurriedly answered: "Chang'an Xiuxing Academy trains soldiers and officials who are used by the country, not a group of scholars who need to be protected. Now that the world is attacking the Tang Dynasty, if we don't go to war, the students of the college will be afraid that they will enjoy peace in the future and forget what it means to serve the country.

"At present, the initial establishment of the college is the critical time to establish rules and traditions. We must let future students know that when they enter the college, they will arrive at the place to serve the country and be ready to strive for the country at any time. Only in this way will future students know why they want to enter the college and what they do when they enter the college!"

Several other students also expressed their firm attitude one after another.

Most of the students in Chang'an Practice Academy are meritorious people in the army, and the most important thing is their blood and courage.

Li Ye pondered.

He didn't want the students to fight, and he felt that this was a disguise for them.

But Li Ye also had to admit that Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng's words made sense.

Chang'an Practice Academy is not an ivory tower, but a "military camp". Students who come out of it will need the most whether they are officials or generals in the future, which is to understand their mission.

The mission of the Tang Dynasty monks was of course to fight for the country. Whether it was to devote themselves to the battlefield or to political affairs, there was their battlefield.

Establishing such a mission and tradition is indeed beneficial to the future of Chang'an Practice Academy and even to the future of the Tang Dynasty. However, this is more or less cruel to these students.

However, the dynasty will last forever, which is a cruel process, which means that many soldiers need to sprinkle blood on the battlefield to kill all covetous enemies for the dynasty, and also need officials who manage internal affairs. They are somewhat of a kind of iron-blooded spirit that is not afraid of the powerful and cannot be stingy.

It is not easy to cultivate these things.

Li Ye was silent for a long time.

When he was about to come, he said with a bright look: "I will give you two days. In two days, I will go north to Yunzhou and report to Shangguan Qingcheng, the chief general of the Wolf Tooth Army, and listen to his dispatch. Remember, I only have three thousand people."

Zhang Chang'an, Chu Zheng and others looked at each other and were very happy and thanked each other quickly, and at the same time they said that they would take no two days to set off tomorrow.

As long as three thousand students go to fight, many students will not have the chance. Li Ye’s choice is of course to highlight the preciousness and glory of this matter. After Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng returned, they naturally chose the elites of the college, which can establish a sense of advancedness.

Only 3,000 people were allowed to fight, which was also Li Ye in order to preserve the strength of the academy. If the war was unfavorable, at least the academy could still be carried out and there was a possibility of making a comeback in the future to avenge his previous shame.

......

Shangguan Qingcheng led his army to attack Mobei, which is an important matter that cannot be delayed. There is no reason to delay the opportunity for war. However, at the moment of stalemate, this battle was not as big as the war was burning. The preparations that should be made must be done first.

For example, if you are secretly dispatched here, you should conduct necessary running-in training, try to eliminate the stagnation in the cooperation of the battle formation, and increase the power of the military's battle formation as soon as possible. Even if you cannot compare with the Wolf-Tooth Essence Cavalry directed by the arm, at least you must ensure that the details are not bad and there is no mistake in the big picture.

Because these trainings take a certain amount of time, Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng, with 3,000 disciples from the academy, arrived in Yunzhou day and night, and could still be familiar with these 30,000 elite riders for a few days.

Shangguan Qingcheng was particularly surprised by the three thousand monks sent by Li Ye to support him.

To be honest, if you take 30,000 elite cavalry out of the pass, and when the logistics cannot be effectively guaranteed, you will find the enemy in the vast grassland, keep fighting, and avoid the sight of the Khitan army and defeat all the enemies you encounter. Even Shangguan Qingcheng cannot feel any relaxed.

The 30,000 elite cavalry are still limited in combat power.

And if there are too many people, the goal is too big.

The arrival of the monks of the Three Thousand Academy undoubtedly greatly enhanced the strength of this army, and under the current conditions, it maximized their combat power. You should know that the reason why the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army is called the most sharp in the world is that the proportion of monks in the army is far from comparable to other Chang'an Imperial Guards.

These three thousand academy students are basically from the army and are familiar with the battlefield and the way of battle. They are fully qualified to serve as officers at all levels in the army, and the sense of strangeness will be eliminated quickly.

If an ordinary monk does not know the way of fighting formation, he will not be able to enter the army to hold positions. Otherwise, once the war is fierce and various responses are needed, he will first lose his position, which will lead to disaster.

This is also the reason why Li Ye agreed to the college students and sent them to Shangguan Qingcheng.

When Shangguan Qingcheng led this elite cavalry of more than 30,000 people to leave Sanggan Pass in Yunzhou and enter the northern grassland, Li Maozhen, who was watching them at the city leader, was already quite confident in their battle.
