Morning!
Jiwu Palace!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
…
"Let's get married without any courtesy!"
Xuanwu said calmly.
"Liu Wenlong and Wei Zaiyan, you two have been thinking about it all night. Do you have any strategies to defend against the enemy?"
Liu Wenlong and Wei Chiyan are both middle-aged in their forties. They were great martial artists in their early days, able to control foreign tribes and shake up the inner world. Their contribution is not small! To say that Liu Wenlong is the pillar of Dawu, then! Wei Chiyan is Dawu's Dinghai Shenzhen.
If one of the two is still alive, Dawu will not be destroyed.
Liu Wenlong stood up from the side and reported: "Your Majesty, last night! General Wei and I spent the whole night discussing in front of the military sand table, and the final strategy for sending troops has been drawn up."
oh!
Emperor Xuanwu was slightly surprised. The ministers had been discussing the Northern Expedition plan for more than a month, and you two discussed it overnight?
emotion! You two have already figured it out, so why don't you say it? Previously, because of the imperial court's plan for the Northern Expedition, the civil and military ministers almost got into a fight in the court. Great now! How many ministers will you hate if you two say such a thing?
"hehe!"
"Okay! It is indeed the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Kingdom of Wu! You two dear friends, you might as well talk about it." Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile.
Liu Wenlong continued: "Your Majesty, please borrow the sand table!"
The sand table is also called a drill table! Compared with the cumbersome map, the sandbox is indeed much easier to use. Markings, regional characteristics, are also more detailed.
"Come here! Bring the war sand table to the main hall and let all the ministers have a good look at it." Emperor Xuanwu drank.
moment! Ten soldiers carried the war sand table placed behind Jiwu Hall onto the main hall.
The sand table is very large, ten meters long and five meters wide. It consists of Yanmen Pass in Youzhou, Ningwuguan and Pianguan in Bingzhou, as well as Beimen Pass and Wuguan in Liangzhou, five border passes to defend the Xiongnu in the northern grassland, and the Great Wall such as Like a coiling dragon, it just continues.
Emperor Xuanwu walked down from the dragon chair and placed his hands on the front of the sand table. Liu Wenlong and Wei Chiyan accompanied him on the left and right. The prince followed secretly behind Emperor Xuanwu. Today's court meeting was silent and unusually quiet. The ministers also gathered around, wanting to see how Liu Wenlong and Wei Chiyan performed the sand table.
"My dear friends, let's begin!" Emperor Xuanwu said calmly.
Liu Wenlong bowed to the emperor and the ministers one after another.
Immediately! Pick up the long stick next to the sand table and move your steps to the other side.
The long wooden stick drew a circle around the five great passes, "Your Majesty, ministers, let's take a look at the five great passes. Any one of the five great passes is an important pass to resist the Huns in the north. If one of them is lost, the Huns army will be defeated. Go straight in."
"And Wuguan, backed by Xuanwu County, was built to defend Wuhuan in the north! The remaining Beimen Pass, Pianguan Pass, Ningwuguan, and Yanmen Pass are the important passes to defend the Huns."
"Now! All ministers know that under Luo Qi City, 300,000 soldiers and horses from Jiuzhou have been gathered. In addition to our 60,000 troops from Yunzhou, a total of 360,000 troops will be added to the 50,000 troops from Youzhou and 50,000 troops from Bingzhou. , a total of 460,000."
"If the Xiongnu army wants to go south, it will definitely divide into four armies and attack the four passes! I think that if you want to defeat the Xiongnu, youzhou and Bingzhou will not have troops and horses, and they will defend the Yanmen and Ningwu passes to the death! Definitely! Hold on to one pass Yuesui is no big deal!"
"And I can gather a large army, 360,000 troops, to go out of Pianguan together, and use superior force to destroy the Huns! After joining the King of Qin's Northern Liang army, we will gather together and circle back to outflank them and cut off their retreat. Then! Send out surprise soldiers, divide the Huns army into several pieces, and then! Annihilate them one by one."
"Of course! This is just a rough plan made by General Wei and I, and a combat plan that covers the entire battle situation and is analyzed."
"On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing and unpredictable. No one can be precise enough."
As General Liu Wenlong said, the battlefield situation changes at any time, and no one dares to win easily.
"etc."
"I have questions!"
Cai Zhong, the imperial censor, suddenly said.
"The soldiers of Beiliang came out from the North Gate Pass. Then I want to ask the general, which route the Huns took to go south, and it must be these four passes! But why did the general conclude that the King of Qin would defeat the Huns outside the North Gate Pass and besiege them? , so as to join our main force?"
"I think! Even if the general is partial to His Highness the King of Qin, he is a little overconfident. He trusts the King of Qin so much and defeats the Xiongnu army!"
Liao's million-strong army, even outside the grasslands, Huerkang's 100,000-strong army was defeated, losing more than 60,000 of them! But for a Daliao Empire with a population of 10 million. It's basically harmless, not painful or itchy.
hehe!
Liu Wenlong suddenly smiled coldly. This smile was also a mockery. It was also a laugh at Cai Zhong, who only knew how to write and write in the court, but did not understand military strategy at all.
Nothing is impossible in this world. In history, it is not impossible for an army of 10,000 to fight a battle of 200,000! There are countless battles in which a small number defeats a large number.
Since King Qin defeated Huerkang, many people began to feel fear and saw the hope of defeating the Huns. King Qin's name was etched in the minds of every Dawu subject like a knife and an axe. Couldn't King Qin defeat the Xiongnu who were just a small boy in the north?
"I said yes... that's all. There's no need for Mr. Cai to worry and speculate!" Liu Wenlong had long wanted to scold these ignorant ministers in the court.
Nagging all day long! I don’t think I’ve ever accomplished anything great!
Being scolded like this, Cai Zhong felt very uncomfortable, "General, you..."
"Okay! Stop arguing! You civil servants and generals are all planning the future for the empire. You don't just have to argue whenever something important happens." Why was Emperor Xuanwu depressed?
The elegant palace of the imperial court looked like a bustling city from time to time.
Immediately he looked at Cai Zhong and said impatiently: "Doctor Cai, you are also an old minister after all. Don't just roll up your sleeves and curse others. After all, you are also a person who has read poetry and books. Can you be more polite?"
"Also! If you are an old man like you, if you really want to fight, can you defeat their generals?"
It's true that the one with the knife can't beat the one with the knife.
Cai Zhong and others shut up immediately! He didn't dare to say anything, because Emperor Xuanwu had been angry so many times over the incident. He also has high psychological quality, otherwise! Maybe he died of a cerebral thrombosis on the throne.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Cai Zhong said quickly.
Xuanwu continued: "The general's strategy is good! The Northern Expedition is all personally presided over by the general. No one can shirk the decision of troops and generals."
Immediately! He just waved his sleeves and left angrily.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Your Majesty has decreed to withdraw from the court!"
actually! In Liu Wenlong's heart, there is also a very risky strategy.
With the four doors wide open, he took the initiative to attack and caught the Huns by surprise.
But this move is too risky, and if you are not careful, you may fall into irreversible adversity.
