Dali, the Imperial Palace.

Duan Sicong's hand shrunk into the imperial robe was clenched, and he was angry enough to carve his excitement from anger.

The court meeting had been going on for nearly an hour, and the civil and military officials were all discussing excitedly and fiercely, but almost no one considered his feelings.

Everyone was circling around Gao Fangsuke, like flies smelling carrion.

Because there was going to be a war, the court agreed to the request of the Song envoy, and the barbarian tribes on the Lizhou side also sent a letter for help, and the core of the court's discussion was how the soldiers should come out and how the battle should be fought.

No one wants to let their own soldiers be cannon fodder, but if they make a windfall, everyone is looking forward to it. This is the special feature of the Dali official system, almost qualified to go to the military council, have their own territory and their own private soldiers.

To send troops, first of all, we must join forces, how many people are sent by each department, who is the vanguard, who is the palm print bow for a long time, and who is responsible for logistics, all of which are related to their own vital interests, and at the juncture of interests, no one has time to take care of the trust.

Because, this account is all in Gao Fangfu's stomach.

In this court meeting, Meng Chang and Yi Xianzheng were also present, but as if they were nothing, they would only smile, until the court meeting came to an end, and the two of them straightened their expressions and only listened to Gao Fang's auxiliary words:

"I believe in the letter, the ministers and other plans have been made, and they plan to send 50,000 troops, divided into two northern expeditions, and one way to meet in Jianchang Mansion, and send troops to Lizhou. All the way out of Shicheng County, united with the enemy's Wumeng Division, Wusa Division, Yi Niang Division, Atou Division, Mangbu Division, and other prefectures in Ding, Gong, Xue, Si'e and other prefectures, and joined forces to attack Ronglu and other prefectures. ”

Duan Sicong nodded slowly, coughed lightly again, and then spoke: "Gong Jiu, Yuan heard that the pseudo-Qin has a Taoist secret method Heavenly Thunder God Punishment, which is very powerful......"

"Yu Zhi Xin, it is simple to break the thunder that day, just prepare more black dog blood, the Xilin Department has tried, two basins of dog blood spilled out, and the thunder will not sound that day, which is very effective. So please rest assured. ”

"In that case, who is the commander of the two roads of soldiers and horses?"

Gao Fangfu said proudly: "The West Road is very important, not only to fight with the puppet Qin, but also to beware of Tubo, it is the courage of the ministers to ask for their lives, as for the East Route Army, it is flexible and mobile, only 10,000 people are needed, but it is necessary to have the ability to dance with long sleeves to contact the ministry, as for the candidate, please decide with confidence." ”

Duan Sicong secretly gritted his teeth, the West Route Army had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the East Road was only 10,000, the wolf's ambition was obvious, but he couldn't bear it, and thought about it: "In this case, the East Route Army will be palmed by the emperor's brother Siming, what do you think?" ”

"Good."

At this time, Meng Changcai got up and said: "The foreign minister is not talented, only the geography and people are familiar with each other, and he is willing to accompany the army staff to help the army." ”

Duan Sicong hadn't spoken yet, but Gao Fangfu had already laughed: "A certain Western Route Army is not needed, but Gong, Xue and other places need to prepare more liaison officers to call on the ministry." ”

Duan Sicong glanced at Meng Chang imperceptibly, and then pretended to be helpless, "Since this is the case, the two of you will help my brother a lot." ”

"The minister obeys."

……

……

Although the news of Dali's dispatch of troops was carried out by spy Pegasus, it was already the twenty-second day of the first month when it reached Yizhou, and the emergency military meeting was held in the Privy Council.

Mu Yun presided over the meeting, and the participants Qin Yue, Li Gu, Wang Shu, Quan Shixiong, Chen Cang, Jia Yin, Shen Bingli, and Zhu Zhongmin, who was familiar with the affairs of the Tibetan Ministry, attended the meeting as observers for consultation.

"Dali divides the army into two routes, it is determined to win, because the main force of our army is on the eastern front, so the thunder can't be frightened, everyone will discuss it, how to deal with the enemy?"

Quan Shixiong continued: "Let's talk about the original strategy first, it is expected that Dali will divide the troops to attack, but the gap between the east and west roads is so large, so that our Lizhou troops are too weak, and we should increase the troops."

Now General Wang's department, although the Yazhou territory of several large barbarian troops flattened, smoothly stationed in Lizhou, but the hidden danger has not been completely eliminated, when another general as a backup, the town to guard the Qionglai Pass, relying on the Lizhou city and Qionglai Pass first to defend the enemy's heart, and then slowly figure it.

As for Dinggong and other confined states, I thought that for the time being, we could ignore it, draw out 5,000 forbidden troops to help, protect Ronghu first, and wait for Qianzhou to completely stabilize, and then the Dali soldiers will also reach the time when the division veterans are tired, and they will be wiped out in one go. ”

Chen Cang said: "Strategy is not a certain director, but a certain has been in Jiazhou, and the situation of the barbarian department is generally familiar, so he went to help General Wang." ”

Jiayin slapped the table, "Then I'll go to Rongzhou, Ha Ma Pi, I want to see how many cattle there are in this Dali country." ”

Quan Shixiong said with a smile: "It's still on the agenda, not when you ask for an order, if you really want to ask for an order, it's also a certain go, in fact, the two states of Ronglu are relatively easy to say, Qionglai Pass must not be lost, that pass, not only the rebellious barbarians and Dali, but also be careful of Tubo, although now Tubo is fighting fiercely, there is no intention of external invasion, but it is also necessary to guard against it." ”

With the beginning of Quan Shixiong, the participants discussed one word at a time, and half an hour passed, but Qin Yue didn't say a word, Jia Yin was curious, and stabbed him with his arm.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh."

Qin Yue shook his head, took the opportunity to come back to his senses, and thought for a while: "The arrangement of Qionglai Pass and Lizhou, the tired and arrogant soldiers will destroy the enemy again, and not fight with the enemy in the forest, these strategies, I think they are very appropriate, and I can't pick out other good candidates here, so the general will lead the troops to 5,000 to help, how about it?" ”

"Commandment."

"As for Rongzhou, Huzi, you go."

"Okay."

"What's good, I haven't finished my words yet, there are not many soldiers, there are enough three thousand tiger guards, although, those Wumeng tribes in the state of Bondage, Ah Tou will help to abuse, but I suddenly thought of a question."

Qin Yue stood up, took the baton, clapped his palms, and paced, "I'm thinking, if I were Meng Chang, what would I do in such a situation." ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, although Wang Shu is not very familiar with military affairs, but he has his acumen in government affairs, and suddenly said: "Yes, Dali sent troops, and the stakeholders were all on him, helping Song Chaoshu, what good is it for him?" ”

Qin Yue laughed and said, "That's exactly the truth, hey...... Brother Nanke, what are you laughing at. ”

Mu Yun said with a smile: "This piece, a certain person has never thought of it, but a certain is thinking, Dali should know that my Heavenly Thunder God punishment is powerful, all the barbarians who meet each other with swords and soldiers have suffered a lot, why are they so active in sending troops, are they not afraid of death." ”

Li Gu also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm not afraid of death, but I want to die, I can mess up my Shu realm, and I can grab a few cities, it's the best for them, if it doesn't work, kill a group of irrelevant people, it's also a good thing for the people in power, this is the reason why Dali actively sent troops, but what kind of demon moth can Meng Chang have, Huzi, you talk about it." ”

"Huh?"

Jiayin looked left and left, and found that except for Chen Tou and Zhu Zhongmin, everyone else had a look of sudden realization in their chests, and couldn't help but be annoyed, looked at the map for a long time, wiped their noses and asked, "Can you think about it?" ”

"It's okay, how to benefit Meng Chang."

"Okay, I said it, don't blame me for making a mistake."

Jia Yin took the baton from Qin Yue's hand, drew a circle in the southeast of Dali, and said with a smile: "If I were Meng Chang, when I sent troops to my Qin realm, I thought of a way to seize the military power, and then go south or east, and be a grass king in the barbarian mountains is also very happy, it is better than being raised as a pig in Bianjing." ”

"To the point, however, Dali's leading general is the emperor's younger brother, with Meng Chang's only twenty or thirty people, how can he seize the military power, Duan Sicong, the lord of Dali, is not stupid, he will let him follow the army, he will not be afraid of him seizing power, besides, those are all Dali soldiers, and the family is in Dali, what means does Meng Chang have?"

Jia Yin was embarrassed, shoved the baton into Qin Yue's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Just say it if you know, what's the point of testing me as a rough person." ”

Qin Yue laughed: "It's very simple, the lord of Dali and Meng Chang, the king of the dead country, must have reached some agreement, only Gao Fangfu, who led an army of 40,000, is still in the dark." ”
