"Very well, tell me to go down. Large equipment is enough, and then we will focus on the production of ammunition and fuel, and we will have to make big moves next. ”

"Yes!"

Qin Hai received the order and quickly ran out to convey Tang Jin's order.

Tang Jin looked at Fang Xiaoer and Feng Gu on the side, glanced at Tang Xu again, spread out the map in front of him, and asked, "Do you think, where should we start next?" ”

"That depends on what His Highness's goal is."

Unexpectedly, this time Fang Xiaoer opened his mouth before Tang Xu, and he seemed to have multiple plans when he heard this.

"The goal? Can you talk about the different approaches to different goals? Tang Jin said with interest.

Fang Xiaoer was neither humble nor arrogant: "If Your Highness wants to unify the northern border, or even enter the central area of the barbarians, and completely defeat the barbarians, your subordinates think that this first step should start from the northern defense line. First conquer the entire defense line due north with lightning speed, and then subdue the northwest and west in turn, and finally take this as the foundation, combined with the support of the imperial court, from the hinterland of the barbarians, and completely destroy the barbarians. ”

Tang Jin nodded, although Fang Xiaoer's plan sounds very simple, if it were someone else, such as Qin Hai, this thing would definitely not use such a safe tactic, I am afraid that he would not directly shout to attack the hinterland of the barbarians now, anyway, there are artillery and tanks, what is there to be afraid of?

In fact, is that really the case? It is true that artillery and tanks provide Tang Jin with unrivaled combat power, but they also make logistics supply a drag on the entire army.

The war here is different from the modern war of the planet. Without transporting troops and sufficient transport equipment to ensure the sufficiency of weapons and ammunition, coupled with the restriction of fuel refining technology, the tank can basically be used without such a big killer on weekdays.

And the way Fang Xiaoer said seemed too cautious, and it could even be said to be timid, but it was the most feasible plan for Tang Jin now. As long as you can conquer it

Having a defensive line means that his logistics are guaranteed, and he can confidently and boldly attack the hinterland of the barbarians.

Fang Xiaoer obviously didn't know Tang Jin's thoughts, he only thought that Tang Jin was not satisfied with his plan, or that Tang Jin didn't want to fight with the barbarians to the point of life and death.

Thinking about it, the main purpose of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack the barbarians this time is to serve the ten thousand sons, and whether to destroy the barbarians or not is not considered at all.

Coupled with what happened inside the Tang Dynasty, although Fang Xiaoer didn't personally participate, he also knew a rough idea, Tang Jin definitely wanted to shift his attention to the country as soon as possible, as for the affairs of the barbarians, it could be solved as quickly as possible.

"If His Highness only wants to end the Northern Territory Campaign as soon as possible, his subordinates feel that His Highness can shrink the defense line in the north and northwest, gradually withdraw the soldiers, and then personally repair a letter to negotiate peace with the hinterland barbarians in the name of the Celestial Empire's virtue of good life, on the condition that the territory of the Northeast Defense Line must be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. According to the character of the hinterland barbarians, the chances of agreeing are not small. ”

After Fang Xiaoer finished speaking, he looked at Tang Jin quite apprehensively. Tang Jin has discussed the next plan this kind of thing, I don't know how many times, but every time Fang Xiaoer has basically belonged to the existence of soy sauce before, occasionally inserting two useless words, this is the first time he has participated in the discussion as a keynote speaker, and it is false to say that he is not nervous.

"Xiao Er, the analysis is very good." Tang Jin could naturally see that Fang Xiaoer was nervous, and immediately praised without hesitation. "Being able to analyze different plans according to the specific situation, and even taking into account the psychology of the place, is very good, and continue to work hard."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and then frowned and said curiously: "Then I don't know what His Highness plans to do?" ”

It was they who analyzed the situation and came up with a plan, but it was Tang Jin who really decided what to do. He doesn't make decisions, and you don't do anything if you say it's out of the blue.

"I decided...... Completely subdued the due north defense line! Invade the hinterland of the barbarians and completely destroy the barbarians. ”

As soon as Tang Jin said this, not only Fang Xiaoer, but even Tang Xu looked at him with a surprised expression. Fang Xiaoer, a few of them only knew that Tang Jin was now used in China

There are a lot of big things to do, but I don't know how urgent it is.

But Tang Xu, as the person who accompanied Tang Jin all the way, he understood 100% how serious Tang Jin's current situation and the problems to be solved were, if it weren't for the war and the aftermath, Tang Jin was afraid that he wouldn't even have the intention of coming back.

As a result, Tang Jin, who should have cut through the mess quickly and dealt with as fast as he could, now told him to go back after completely conquering the barbarians, which was as shocking as a dying patient shouting that he wanted to run a marathon.

"What? Surprised? Tang Jin looked at everyone's stunned appearance and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be like this. I know that things are busy and urgent at home, but that is not a reason to put the war in the north lightly. ”

"The war in the north has brought the hatred between the Tang Dynasty and the barbarians to a new level. Although according to Xiao Er's second method, we can indeed withdraw as quickly as possible, but what about the future? What about the people at the border? The barbarians have suffered such a great loss from us, and they will surely get it back from the people in the future. Can we go, can the people go? If the barbarians are not completely solved, they will be left with endless troubles. ”

Tang Jin's words completely woke everyone up, and everyone suddenly realized, and for a while, they looked at Tang Jin with a little respect in their eyes, and they still had a little doubt.

His Royal Highness seems to be a little different from before? In the past, Tang Jin was selfish and self-reliant, and regarded human life as a mustard, and when faced with such personal and collective conflicts, he would not hesitate to choose himself. But now, he thinks about the collective, or the people. At this moment, everyone saw a trace of the emperor's demeanor in Tang Jin.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Tang Jin was a little confused for a while, "No...... Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Everyone instantly sobered up when they heard this, and then shook their heads frantically, "It's nothing, it's nothing, you continue, you continue." ”

He didn't dare to admit what he was thinking, if he said it, with Tang Jin's arrogant character, it would be light not to admit it, and it was not impossible to retaliate directly. No matter how the personality changes, the careful eye that has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow will never change.
