Yang Qian took a sip of tea, glanced at Ran Jing, and gave him a look.
Ran Jing bowed his hands to his colleagues.
"Everyone knows that our frontier army has gone through several years of fierce battles and achieved results that shocked the Central Plains. The reason is not that we have always been the main battle, but that we have an extremely clear strategic purpose and a strong battlefield rhythm."
After Ran Jing said a few words, Yang Gan's eyes suddenly lit up. Some of the generals next to him had their eyes shining brightly, while others were silent and thoughtful.
"This time Shang Guo dared to show his claws to us. I must be prepared to destroy Shang Guo?"
Ran Jing looked at Yang Qian with burning eyes.
A smile appeared on Yang Qian's lips and he nodded slowly.
The two had a tacit understanding, but they frightened the generals around them.
"What? Your Majesty plans to destroy Shangguo. Isn't this a regular conflict?"
"Tch, you don't even know this."
"If it were a conventional conflict, the armies in Liaodong and Baiyunguan would not move at all."
"Nonsense. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been prepared with food and grass. It will be consumed in a year. Based on this alone, it cannot be a regular conflict."
Everyone started talking in low voices.
"Ahem!"
Ran Jing coughed a few times, and when everyone's eyes fell on him again, he continued.
"The strategic purpose is already there, which is the rhythm of the battlefield. We cannot let the enemy lead the way. How we fight this battle is up to us, not the other side. When others make moves, we will take them. This is not our side. Military style.”
"The time of three is not long, it is actually very short. If we just passively defend ourselves and set up a military formation in front of Yanggu Pass, but in this way we will be at a disadvantage and the rhythm will be controlled by others."
"According to the general's considerations, we should take advantage of three seconds to seize the opponent's pass, then wipe out the opponent's vanguard, and then plan for it slowly!"
Except for Jing Huai and Zhu Hongfang, all the other generals took a breath of cold air. They had such huge appetites that they actually wanted to eat the opponent's vanguard.
The vanguard army is also an elite. After all, they don't have enough endurance and they can't march fast at all.
The speed is as fast as a snail, and what a pioneer. I, Feike, was the first one to refuse.
After being amazed, everyone looked at Yang Qian almost at the same time.
Yang Qian was paralyzed throughout the whole process, but there were countless ideas colliding in his mind, hoping to find some feasible solutions.
"Well, everyone, what's Ran Jing's approach?"
Everyone looked at each other.
This is Yanggu Pass, others don't have to answer, but Zaifu Bochao has no choice but to look at Yang Qian with a frown.
"Your Majesty, General Ran's ideas are unconstrained, and I think it is inappropriate. It's not that this method is bad, but that we can capture the opponent's pass within three days. If we can't capture it, everything will be in vain."
"If we can win, how can we resist the advancing vanguard army? After all, the gap between the vanguard and the opponent's main force is only a few hours. There is simply not enough time to build fortifications."
Everyone looked at Yang Qian's expression, but what was disappointing was that the emperor's expression was as usual, and it was impossible to tell whether he agreed or disagreed.
"I like Ran Jing's plan very much."
Ran Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zaifu Bochao's heart was tightening.
In fact, the generals and ministers of this era are not very afraid of the king. After all, he is great. Even if he is dismissed from office, if he has no backer, no one can blame him for his death.
But Lord Wu An is different. No matter you are a commoner, a poor family, or a member of a wealthy family, as long as you work under him.
Whoever wants to kill, no one dares to object. If he resists, it may happen that his subordinates, who were fighting each other just a moment ago, will turn their backs and tie themselves up in front of the king the next moment.
"Of course, General Zaifu's plan is also good, but the style is different. I like Ran Jing's better."
Yang Gan's words brought a smile to Ran Jing's face, and Zai's father Bo Chao let out a long sigh of relief.
I have to say that it is very comforting to have a king who is willing to reason with me.
"Ran Jing, do you have any specific practical plans?"
Ran Jing said sarcastically.
"There is no good solution at the moment. I plan not to sleep today and will stay up all night to think of a solution."
Looking at the huge map on the ground, Yang Gan pointed.
"The White Tiger Pass in Shangguo used to be more majestic than the Yanggu Pass. There are mountains on both sides nearby, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Yang Gan took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Ran Jing.
"According to Kariji's investigation, Baihu Guan currently has a total of 50,000 people guarding the city. Without an army ten times larger than the opponent's, it is impossible to attack by force."
"There are also guards on the high mountains on both sides. There are at least two thousand people on each side. They have also built fortifications. It can be called an iron wall."
Yang Gan pointed out the country on the ground.
"We used heavy infantry phalanx to suppress the situation. We only shouted but did not attack. All the other catapults were dispatched."
"In this case, the opponent will inevitably gather manpower for defense. With our attack range, there is a high probability that the opponent will not be able to hit us."
"There are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the opponent rushes out to fight with our army. This is the best result."
"Another possibility is that the other side starts to defend and refuses to send troops."
"But no matter what the possibility is, once there is chaos on the pass, the soldiers on both sides will inevitably be removed. When the soldiers are weakened to about the same level, we will lead the elite to climb up and circle behind the opponent from the mountain forest."
"As luck would have it, the mountain next to Baihu Pass is fairly flat. If it stands thousands of feet high, then even I will be helpless."
"How is Ran Jing and I's strategy? Do you have any objections or additions?"
Everyone nodded, and they had no better ideas.
At this time, Zaifu Bochao said.
"Your Majesty, the two mountains are not big. Although they are flat, they are very steep in some places. If we follow the strategy, the number of people we go cannot be small, because the cavalry cannot pass."
Yang Gan's eyes were confused
"This is true!"
"Seriously! The general has been guarding here for many years and is very familiar with the terrain. There will be no omissions."
Yang Gan nodded.
That's right.
Zaifu Bochao is similar to Tian Zongxiang. They are both city defenders and have few field records. However, to be familiar with the terrain, one must be trained by these talents.
"How many people do you need to capture all 50,000 troops alive or annihilate them all?"
Everyone fell into silence. The war led by the king was very fast and rhythmic. It could almost be called a template for blitzkrieg. Those who could do it would never make a fuss.
If you want to defeat an army of 50,000 soldiers, as everyone boasts, you don't need the Xuanjia army, only the Polu army. In the case of a surprise attack, 10,000 soldiers are enough.
But it would be difficult not to leak anyone.
Zhu Hongfang took a step forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the surprise soldiers block the enemy's retreat and detach a part of the soldiers to open the city gate."
"As long as the barrier is broken, the news will not be leaked!"
Yang Qian nodded, feeling happy in his heart. After all, he hadn't thought about it so deeply. As expected, one person was planning his shortcomings, and two others were planning his strengths.
Many plans are very good, but there are flaws. If you put the plan out and let everyone correct it, the flaws will become fewer and fewer and they will gradually be polished to perfection.
"Go and call me Baili Shuang, and bring me the morning food too. Let's eat while having a meeting and try to save time. Okay, what we need to discuss next is how to resist the other party's vanguard and ensure that no information is leaked. .”
"promise!"
Inside the best room in Yangguguan.
The ladies began to take out some luggage and put it away in categories. For this kind of thing, the family would not bother maids or maids.
Because Zhang Niang has been there before, this is like a family, and this is what a family should do.
Of course, on weekdays, servants still serve him, and Zhang Yumeng is not an idiot. It is better to have someone to serve him than to work by himself.
Zhang Yumeng looked at the house. Overall, it was good. It was good to have such a spacious and well-decorated place to live in a place where troops were stationed for a long time.
Although she has never been to the battlefield personally, she has spent some time with Yang Qianlang. What are the conditions on the battlefield? When times are cruel, you're lucky to have a place to lay down for a night.
Krisna walked in carelessly. She never liked doing things like tidying up the room. This time Qingqing and Cao Wushuang came, and they preferred to do these things.
"Yang Gan, he has a meeting and won't come for dinner!"
"Huh? No way, you got into the mood so quickly!"
Zhang Yumeng's face was full of surprise. Logically speaking, it was not an urgent military situation now. If it were before, he might have been in a hurry.
But now the situation has long been different.
There is a wide official road from Yuntong County to Yanggu Pass, and the driving is very fast. The most important thing is that Fu Yan has a large number of spies. There have been calls long ago, not only reporting the situation, but also knowing the situation of their food and grass collection. .
The response here was naturally very fast, and no one else knew about Yang Qian's preparations for the chaos in the Central Plains, but she had always watched Zheng Zheng
Qingqing smiled.
"The morning before departure, he got up very early. Normally he doesn't like to smell particularly fragrant smells, so he ordered some spices and quietly wiped the dragon-slaying knife. He thought he was already ready for the battlefield by that time. 's ready.
Zhang Yumeng pursed her lips, but the words came to her lips but did not come out.
She understands war, but she doesn't understand it. She and Yang Qian have also been on the battlefield, but they only watched the battle throughout the whole process, without fighting, which is equivalent to turning on God mode. There is no sense of immersion at all. It is like watching a movie, and she is a little excited. a feeling of.
But what exactly fighting is like, she said, her eyes darkened and she had no idea at all.
It seems that Yang Qian is under a bit of psychological pressure. Only when the pressure is relatively high, he will behave differently than usual.
"Okay, let's not disturb him now."
Zhang Yumeng waved to the girls, indicating that she had something to say.
When the women looked at him, Zhang Yumeng said seriously.
"When you arrive at the military camp, you are no longer at home. Here, all of us, including me, must listen to Yang Gan unconditionally. Do you understand?"
