As long as you find an area that can be garrisoned and set up the Shenwu cannon brought with the army, it will be like a steel needle piercing the enemy's mansion.
At least he won't be surrounded and annihilated by enemies in a short period of time.
The reason why they chose to be 30 miles north of the Jinyuan Gate station was because the Pioneer Army had already detected a mine there. There were no workers, but it clearly felt that it was not abandoned for a long time, but that it was still operating not long ago.
After a day, eight thousand elite troops led by Bai Song arrived at the location planned by Hou Junji.
A concave gap was dug out in the mine, and there were countless large and small caves. It was obviously done when the ore veins were first discovered.
The mountain has been excavated, which has natural advantages for camp deployment.
The mines are convenient for hiding troops and setting up Shenwu cannons.
The specific deployment of Bai Song needs to be observed step by step.
Hou Junji has been diligently playing the role of joining the army, because there are no redundant generals in the army, and the things everyone is responsible for are very complicated.
Although Hou Junji has made some omissions these days, he behaves much better than Bai Song imagined.
He performed all his duties diligently, and he really didn't look like a minister who had followed Princess Danyang for many years.
Recalling the historical records of Hou Junji's memory in that era, this person can be said to be the most important figure in urging the prince to rebel. In addition, he was also a figure in the Danyang Princess family. In the heart of the Bai Song Dynasty, he was never considered a decent person. .
Taking him on this expedition, Bai Song was already mentally prepared for him to stumble along the way.
But for now, it seems that nothing that I was worried about has happened. Although there are dangers along the way, it is still my duty.
Bai Song wanted to ask Hou Junji, where does he stand?
But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't ask.
After all, as long as the current balance is maintained and everyone is of one mind, even if we encounter some difficulties now, we can easily overcome them.
This place was relatively hidden and not on their marching route. It was at least more than ten miles away from the original marching route. How he found this place was a bit strange.
Bai Song was thinking about something and didn't notice the inquiries around him.
Hou Junji reminded again: "General, what are you thinking about?"
"No...nothing."
A soldier handed over some dry food cakes, and Bai Song didn't mind it and ate it slowly.
Hou Junji continued: "This place is particularly suitable for garrisoning troops. Eight thousand troops are just right. It is truly a God-given place. As long as one of our troops is here, even the Tubo army will not dare to go too deep."
"But I heard that an elite force has entered Chang'an. I don't know what it will be like."
"No matter how powerful an elite force is, it is impossible to capture Chang'an." Hou Junji vowed.
"But what if someone cooperates inside and outside?"
Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No... probably not..."
"Maybe not?" Bai Song looked at Hou Junji, "Master Hou, we are all discerning people. We all know who you are talking about. But even Master Hou can't be sure. That can still happen, right?"
Hou Junji originally had nothing to worry about, but after hearing what Bai Song said, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart. It seems like something will really happen in Chang'an...
"This... General, isn't it good for us to stick to this situation? What if there really is something in Chang'an..."
Bai Song was very relaxed and patted Hou Junji on the shoulder: "As ministers, we have to worry about everything. We just do our own thing well. You know, there are many ministers in the DPRK."
Hou Junji looked at Bai Song. He didn't believe that Bai Song was really loyal. The reason why he was so relaxed was because there was nothing he worried about in Chang'an.
The people from the Beiding Palace evacuated Chang'an, and everyone in the court probably knew about it.
At first, I thought it was Bai Song who wanted to show an attitude of being indifferent to the world, but now I saw that this kid had known something earlier, or had expected the current situation, so when it happened, there was no trace of it. The child was panicked.
"Master Bai, what are your plans for this expedition?"
Hou Junji even changed his title, from General to Master Bai, indicating that he was abandoning the inquiry about this mission and wanted to get a more truthful answer.
Bai Song did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Although you must first settle down when fighting outside, but sometimes when the internal situation is too chaotic, it is better to leave. When there is enough internal turmoil and the winner is determined, we can go back , solved the problem at once, wouldn’t it save a lot of trouble?”
"When the winner is decided in Chang'an..." Hou Junji swallowed, "Does Mr. Bai want to get a higher position?"
"Sir, what are you thinking about? You are just trying to achieve long-term peace and stability."
Hou Junji didn't believe it and said nothing more.
He also knew that even if he knew Bai Song's plan, he wouldn't be able to send word back. Having come to this point, there was no way to turn back.
Bai Song looked up at the sky and saw a big hole dug out of the mountain.
Excavation of ancient mines was very dangerous, and rocks occasionally fell from above.
Bai Song knew from the map that this small mountain range was attached to the Himalayas all the way to the west, and then the terrain rose all the way up, which was the boundary of the Tubo Kingdom.
Looking at the falling rocks, Bai Song always felt a little worried: "General Hou, although this is an excellent place to hide troops, if someone digs into the mountain from above, will we people be directly buried alive?"
After hearing this, Hou Junji laughed: "General, don't worry, there is a way on this mountain that can indeed reach our heads, but if we have to dig up the mountain to bury us alive, we will have to blow up the mountain with Shenwu cannons. There is no place nearby for them to set up." The place where the Shenwu cannon is located. Even if there are a dozen people throwing stones at it, it will not cause any harm. And we can use the trail to go directly behind the Jinyuan Gate and go deep into the hinterland of the Tubo Kingdom. I think the people of the Tubo Kingdom have calculated our path carefully. It doesn’t count as this step. When we are really desperate, we will abandon the Shenwu cannon, climb over the mountains and kill Luoche City in the Tubo Kingdom, and take away their lair."
Hou Junji was excited and a little proud as he spoke. He had thought of this strategy a long time ago, so he strongly suggested garrisoning troops here.
When Bai Song heard this, he immediately asked: "Sir, we have just arrived here. I haven't even explored the terrain nearby. When did you know that there would be a trail to go directly over the mountain?"
Bai Song's question stunned Hou Junji.
Hou Junji also spoke quickly. He opened his mouth and said without thinking about what happened next, and his expression was a little stiff.
Bai Song smiled and said, "Could it be that General Hou came to this mine early in the morning? What else does this mine have to do with General Hou?"
