The three camps outside Zhangye City are three castles. The barracks, official offices, and general towers inside are all permanent and fixed buildings. In the Chinese military headquarters of Beida camp, Yang Ji sat on the main seat. Waiting for the generals to take their seats, he looked at Cheng Yaojin who was sitting near the door and said: "General Cheng, Liangzhou's policy is that soldiers First, unlike other places, the Liangzhou military will never let soldiers go into battle with worries about their children. I have already said hello to the Bingcao officials, and the Bingcao will take care of you according to the standards of family members. If your family is small, you don’t have to worry about your family’s affairs.”
Cheng Yaojin reported to Yang Ji's home the day before yesterday. In order to let him adapt to military life, Yang Ji arranged for him to come to the Jiesheng Army as an inspection and brigade commander. However, Cheng Yaojin did not have any combat experience, and Yang Ji did not give him the power to lead troops. After all, every army has a mature combat model, especially an elite division like the Victory Army. The combat method is stricter and more difficult than any other army. If you just give a 'transfer' real power casually, it will be unfair to you. The military is irresponsible and unfair to other soldiers.
Therefore, although Cheng Yaojin is nominally a brigade commander, he does not have even a single soldier except for the ten soldiers he brought with him. At present, he mainly assists Wei Yunqi in handling military affairs, learning how to lead troops, and familiarizing himself with combat. model.
If he couldn't bear the loneliness and couldn't calm down, then there was nothing Yang Ji could do.
Cheng Yaojin was highly skilled in martial arts and well-educated in military affairs, and he was the dominant figure in the county in Jibei. He was indeed a little dissatisfied and unhappy with Yang Ji's arrangements at first. However, after entering the army, he realized that the army was different from what was described in the military books. The daily training methods of the Victory Army and the purpose of the training programs also made him confused. And the martial arts he was proud of had no special advantage here at all.
What made him want to hit the wall even more was that when he joined the army the afternoon before yesterday, he was tested by a group of ordinary soldiers (5 people) arranged by Wei Yunqi. This kind of test was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to take the opportunity to prove his extraordinary ability. , but unexpectedly when they were "fighting" in the special environment arranged in the military camp, he was easily "dead" by the opponent more than ten times.
In fact, this was a subject specially prepared by Yang Ji for arrogant young generals. The reason was that the second generation of Wei was as arrogant and unwilling as Cheng Yaojin at first. In the end, they were dealt with miserably by ordinary soldiers. Afterwards, people Everyone became submissive.
Cheng Yaojin is naturally no exception.
He was not a fool. After "dying" so many times, he was finally convinced; when he looked at everything with a rational eye, he realized that he was useless in the military camp and had countless things to learn; so the old man Follow and learn honestly.
At this time, he heard that the first person Yang Ji asked was himself, and that he also paid special attention to his family. He was extremely grateful and quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty's kindness will always be remembered in my heart."
Yang Ji was very fond of him and knew his deeds and changes in the military camp. He asked again, "Are you still used to being in the military?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "To be honest, I won't get used to it!"
Yang Ji was puzzled: "But why?"
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin bowed his hands and said with a bitter look on his face: "Every general is a man with great military exploits and outstanding achievements. Only the last general has no merit. Sitting with everyone, the last general I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles, and the pressure is huge. I really wish I could kill a few enemy soldiers as soon as possible, so that I can have the shame to sit and talk and drink with everyone."...Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard what he said was interesting.
Yang Ji also laughed. Cheng Yaojin's emotional intelligence is really speechless. He not only flatters everyone and brings them closer to each other, but also shows his willingness to fight and perform meritorious deeds.
What's rare is that there is no trace of contrition in his words, whether you listen to them from the front or from behind.
"General Cheng, I can understand your desire to serve the country." Yang Ji introduced: "Every soldier in the Victory Army is a strong man selected from an army that has fought hundreds of battles. Every soldier is With one strong soldier equal to ten, coupled with sophisticated equipment, the combat effectiveness has been further improved. After several years of hard training, this army has become a powerful army like Wei soldiers, trapped camp, and tiger and leopard cavalry."
"In the upcoming battle, the Victory Army will definitely be indispensable. As long as you maintain strong energy and study the tactics of the Victory Army, you are not afraid that you will not have the opportunity to make contributions."
"General, I will obey your orders!" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed. He was more thoughtful. Although Yang Ji had invited him to join the army and participate in the war on the day of their reunion, it was a private "promise" that no one witnessed, which made him somewhat uneasy. , now that Yang Ji said it in front of all the generals, it is naturally an unshakable matter.
Some generals in the government office looked at Cheng Yaojin with envy. They also wanted to participate in this battle, but they couldn't. They had to stay and sit in charge.
Yang Ji saw the regretful expressions of such generals in his eyes, but he could only pretend not to notice; after all, Zhangye County was the base camp of Liangzhou, and there were two confrontation points in the territory, Qilianyuan and Beidaheyuan, so he wanted to stay Some soldiers were just in case, so they could not mobilize all the main battle troops at once.
Yang Ji said to everyone: "We have deployed 30,000 main battle divisions, 10,000 field troops from Shanshan, plus 15,000 victorious troops and Mai Tiezhang's troops at the Dangjin Mountain Pass Camp. , with a total strength of 60,000. According to the latest information, Tuyuhun has a total of 120,000 troops on the western battlefield. Including local herdsmen, the opponent's strength is no less than 160,000; however, Tuyuhun's confrontation point in Beidahe, Su Ten thousand elite soldiers and ten thousand herdsmen-like string controllers were deployed in the Gannuoer Lake area and at the confluence of Ganquanshui (Dang River) and Mustang River respectively. Calculating this, the enemy troops on the main battlefield are actually only one hundred thousand."
"Although our army has 40,000 fewer troops than Tuyuhun, the combat effectiveness, fighting will, morale, and sophisticated armed equipment of the soldiers are enough to make up for the gap in military personnel. It will waste people, money, and affect spring farming. I do not plan to increase the number of troops."
At this point, Yang Ji glanced at Li Daliang and continued: "Daliang, when Jinshan Pass is about 900 miles away from the Heyuan Camp of Beidahe, the 10,000 soldiers of our army's Heyuan Camp will have to deal with the 20,000 soldiers from Tuyuhun. The troops are more than enough, but we should not start a war at this confrontation point for the time being and maintain the status quo; when I break the enemy's Dangjin Mountain Pass camp, panic will spread to the confrontation point in less than five days." (Note)
"At the beginning of the war, I will send 'people' to inform you as soon as possible. You and Dugu Pingyun can transfer the five thousand garrison of Leju Town into the camp; you can decide the time of attack based on the enemy's situation. There is no need to ask specifically. "Me. When I lead my army to your confrontation point, it will be at most the eighth day after the war begins."... "I have a request: you must capture that force on the fifth or sixth day after I begin the war. The enemy army will then join forces with me with high morale, full spirit, and sufficient supplies of food and grass, and take on the task of defense and vigilance. Only in this way can the main army headed by me get a good rest and be able to fight the next day. Keep fighting.”
What Yang Ji said is also the main idea of the western battlefield. As for the changes, only specific problems can be solved in detail.
Some "rookies" who had never fought with Yang Ji couldn't help but gasped after hearing these words. They looked at Yang Ji with shock and admiration in their eyes.
Everyone knows that Tuyuhun is the main camp at Jinshan Pass, the Sugannuoer Lake camp, and the camp at the confluence of Ganquanshui and Yema River, showing the trend of an arrow pointing directly to the west; the former's goal is to be the Sui Camp at Jinshan Pass, and the second The first one resisted the Sui army in the direction of Qiemo, and the third one corresponded to the Dunhuang army downstream of Ganquanshui.
The latter two are each less than a hundred miles away from the Tuyuhundang Jinshan Pass Camp. In other words, if the 60,000 Sui soldiers led by Yang Ji broke through the Tuyuhundang Jinshan Pass Camp with 100,000 troops, they would immediately have to fight all the way. , maybe two armies.
However, the combat time Yang Ji had reserved for himself was less than three days. He is truly worthy of being the God of War and the God of War in the Sui Dynasty!
How courageous is this?
What kind of confidence is this?
"General, I understand!" Li Daliang responded in a deep voice: "If I can't complete the task, I will come and see you."
Yang Ji nodded: "If you have any requests, just put them forward now."
Li Daliang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the number of troops stationed in Longle Town, Dunhuang County is also 10,000. The leader is General Quan Xu, deputy director of the Dunhuang March. If the general's prediction is correct, this army will also march westward. I don't know if it is correct. ?”
"Correct!" Yang Ji said: "After all, our army is deep into the enemy's territory, so the more troops it is, the better. After defeating the three enemy camps, I will gather General Pang Yu's army. Then, you and Dugu Ping will That one of the clouds.”
Li Daliang made a silent calculation, and then said: "Your Majesty, because our army does not want to overly stimulate Tuyuhun, Fulu Camp did not accumulate too many supplies, and in a hurry, the army alone cannot prepare tens of thousands. A large army is expensive, so the general will need to mobilize the civilians."
"It only lasts a few days. It won't affect the spring plowing. It's up to you!" Yang Ji said.
"Here!" Li Daliang responded.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Yunqi asked at this time: "The Eastern Turks have withdrawn from the Monan Grassland and are not settling down. It is said that Qimin Khan is actively recruiting troops. What the general wants to ask is whether the Eastern Turks will attack the mainland." Lake District?”
This is also a matter of concern to the generals. The Liangzhou Army does not have the same strength to start a war between the north and the south; and the Eastern Turks are facing the entire powerful Great Sui Dynasty. The possibility of it attacking Liangzhou and the Great Lakes area is extremely small, but the Great Sui Dynasty The dynasty fell into "chaos" due to a series of strong internal reforms; under this situation, it does not mean that the Eastern Turks who retreated from the Monan Prairie and the Hetao area will become honest.
When the late emperor was still alive, the Eastern/Turkic people used various names and methods to test the Sui Dynasty. Almost every year, small groups of rangers went south to plunder. On the surface, it was the actions of the various tribes on the border without authorization, but anyone with a little bit of brains knew that this was It was Qimin Khan who was instigating. Afterwards, he took the heads of several insignificant people and told them to the Sui Dynasty, saying that these people made the decision without authorization and destroyed the good relations between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. ….Now, the Liangzhou Army’s key target is Tuyuhun in the south. Everyone believes that the Eastern Turks have also received this news, and are somewhat worried that the Eastern Turks will repeat their old tricks and loot the northern part of Liangzhou, which has a weak foundation.
"The army can be deployed urgently, but the food needs to be prepared carefully. Although the food of the East/Turkic people is mainly living livestock, they also eat wheat, highland barley and other grains. Before the war starts, some grains also need to be transported in advance. From now on Judging from the military situation, the Eastern Turks have not sent more troops to the south, nor have they mobilized food to the south and west. Of course, the most important thing is that the Saint will contain the Eastern Turks army in the north for us in Liangzhou."
Yang Ji smiled slightly and said to the generals: "Before I returned to Liangzhou, the sage said that after the ice and snow in the north melted, he would lead a large army to patrol the north. The main purposes of his patrol were threefold: First, to test the Beijing troops. Long-distance raids and combat capabilities; the second is to look at the construction results of Yongzhou and northern Bingzhou, and the people's livelihood in the northern region; the third is to see if the East/Turks understand the interests. If the East/Turks do not know the interests, then the accompanying army will stab into the East/ The dagger in the heart of the Turks. So we are not fighting alone, and you don’t have to worry about the East/Turks.”
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this. In this way, the defensive pressure in northern Liangzhou would be gone, and they could gather the power of a state to conquer Tuyuhun southward with all their strength.
"What about Xue Yantuo? What do you think Yi Shubo will do?" Yu Wenhao (xiǎo) next to him also asked.
Yuwen Hao is the son of Yuwen Jingli and Princess Guangping, with a small nickname of Brahmin; it is worth mentioning that his father Yuwen Jingli has been recommended by Yang Ji and has become one of the military aircraft ministers in charge of the Xiaoguo Army's Military Aircraft Department. , in charge of Xiaoguo Army’s food and supplies.
Yu Wenhuo is actually a young hero with both civil and military skills and strong martial arts. He is especially outstanding compared to his brother Yu Wenxie. However, because he is young, energetic and impulsive, he is also a troublesome "" in the eyes of his parents. "Problem Child". His brother Yu Wenxie has now followed Yang Yichen, so Yang Ji personally takes care of his nephew, hoping that he will become a truly useful talent in battle.
In fact, this is what his parents most want to see. After all, Yuwen Jingli’s title will be inherited by the eldest Yuwen Xie; as the third eldest Yu Wenhao, he is not qualified to inherit. If Yu Wenhao wants to achieve any great achievements, the only way is to The best way is to rely on your own ability to fight. Otherwise, no one can help him.
"In the previous battle in the Great Lakes Region, I was relatively gentle towards Xue Yantuo, which made many people feel strange. Since Yu Wenhao asked this question, let me just tell you!" Yang Ji paused for a moment and continued. : "Among the four major Western Turkic forces, Xue Yantuo is at the bottom of the list. Yishubo does not want to continue fighting with the other three major forces and dreams of moving eastward. This is one of the important reasons why he marched into the Great Lakes region. So far, , Yi has lost his desire to advance eastward, but he has not died."
"At the beginning, I asked General Wei Yunqi and General Po Chaoqi to expel Xue Yantuo's remnant army instead of killing them all: First, the north, east, and west of the Great Lakes Region are all covered with mountains. After Xue Yantuo was driven out of the Great Lakes Region by us, there were so many mountains. The lake area completely fell into the hands of the Sui Dynasty, and it will become very simple to defend and manage in the future. Secondly, when I fought with Bujia Khan, I also cooperated with Xue Yantuo. This force is not the enemy of the Sui Dynasty at present. Thirdly, It is the East/Turks who have a dominant power, and the Tiele tribes living in the northern part of the East/Turks are a piece of scattered sand. Facing the powerful East/Turks, they are extremely struggling; I hope that the Tiele tribe of Xueyantuo will be able to move along the Great Eastern Turks. At the northern foothills of Tangnu Mountain in the north of the lake area, march to the east/northern Turks. If Yi Shibo's strength is greatly reduced, he will not be able to unify northern Tiele, so I want to preserve his strength so that he can unify the tribes of Tiele and unite with Tiele. The East/Turks in the south are going to war."...Speaking of this, Yang Ji smiled and said: "Yi Shubo is extremely shrewd. He even dreamed of forming an alliance with me, the Sui Dynasty, and getting the support of the Sui Dynasty, so he was expelled from the Sui Dynasty by us. Lake area, but he will not and does not dare to be an enemy of the Sui Dynasty. If he does not know what to do, I, the Sui Dynasty, only need to say something, and the Nichuluo Khan and the Shegui Khan can pretend to be powerful and join forces to destroy Yishubo. After they get tangible benefits, they can also earn Sui's favor."
After everyone listened to Yang Ji's careful answer, they were suddenly enlightened and admired. Judging from these words, it can be seen that Yang Ji is already very familiar with the surrounding forces and has a thoughtful analysis.
In this way, everyone can rest assured and prepare for the war with all their strength.
"Your Majesty, in the minds of the countries in the Western Regions and the four tribes of the Western Turks, Tuyuhun is still a giant. It is inevitable that they will be ready to make a move during the Sui and Tu wars. Should we send someone to warn them?" Wei Yunqi is from Liangzhou. Yuan Li Cao was in charge of Liangzhou's "diplomatic" affairs, and his vision was beyond the reach of the generals here.
"That's not necessary!" Yang Ji sat on the main seat, squinting his eyes slightly and said: "The leaders of the four Western Turks are all smart people, and they all hope to get help from the Sui Dynasty, so that they can unify the Western Turks or obtain A better living environment, they will not be at odds with the Sui Dynasty at this moment. As for the countries in the Western Regions, the countries are small and the people are few, they are all small forces that can't help themselves and are influenced by the general trend. The kings of the past dynasties have believed in the diplomatic idea of having both sides. If Unless they have no choice, they will not get involved in the disputes between major powers. Otherwise, how could the countries in the Western Regions survive until now!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Yun nodded, sincerely admiring Yang Ji's foresight.
Although the countries in the Western Region are small and weak, they are still "independent" countries in the end. The Liangzhou Prefectural Mufu was just a local government office. The imperial court did not have a diplomatic agency dedicated to the Western Regions before, so Liangzhou had no choice but to "step in and take over" to shoulder the mission of East-West exchanges.
However, the Western Regions Division, headed by the eldest grandson, has been ordered by the imperial court to establish a branch of the Western Regions Division in Liangzhou, so it is best to leave matters in the Western Regions to him.
If Liangzhou continues to "do the work" as before, then in the eyes of interested people, it means that Liangzhou does not take the imperial court seriously; in this case, Liangzhou simply hands over the extremely complicated and troublesome diplomatic power to save the trouble. Come to a thankless end.
"Your Majesty!" A guard hurriedly entered the official office and said, "Du Shangcao has returned from Daxing."
"I know!" Yang Ji secretly said "so fast", stood up and said to the generals: "Whether it rains or snows heavily the day after tomorrow, we have to march. Seize the time, the soldiers have a good rest."
"I will obey your orders!" All the generals responded with a roar.
