Yong'an Mansion Yabian Hall, a staff member in and out of the busy front and back.

Since the decision was made to raise troops to recruit Huaihua, various ministries have launched intensive deployments.

Marching to fight does not mean that you can set off, and the preparation work involved is quite cumbersome.

From the deployment of troops and the whole army, to the planning of logistics and supply fronts, and even the intelligence of all parties, the preparation of emergency medicinal materials, and so on.

No matter how big or small, if you really want to get busy, there is definitely work that cannot be done.

In addition, Yongan has just quelled the war recently, and there are many problems that need to be solved in internal affairs.

"Huaihua Panyang County's troops are distributed!"

"Yunzhou intelligence delivered!"

"Ningzhou intelligence delivery!"

There are all kinds of voices constantly, and the scouts sent out will send people back every once in a while to report the latest situation, so that our army can grasp the most timely first-hand information as much as possible.

When Chen Ziqian came to the mansion, everyone was too busy to care about anything else, and no one even noticed his existence.

Tan Wenhao and Luo Taibai are still on the left and right as always, sitting in the office area.

I saw Tan Wenhao holding one bamboo slip after another, making annotations immediately after reviewing, and re-tying it with strips of cloth of different colors.

Luo Taibai was not idle, fiddling back and forth with the map, and making some records from time to time, obviously doing what calculations and deployments, as meticulous as Tan Wenhao.

"What are you trying to do in one place, is there anything special about this Bashan?" Chen Ziqian stood behind Luo Taibai and looked at it for a moment, and saw that Luo Taibai was obsessed with a place called Bashan County on the map, so he couldn't help but ask.

Luo Taibai reacted immediately, hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, and the others also noticed Chen Ziqian's existence at this time, and they all got up to pay respects.

"Leave me alone, keep busy." Chen Ziqian waved his hand in response, and was not in a hurry to ask Zeng Yuanqi about the situation, so he sat directly opposite Luo Taibai and discussed the map together.

Luo Taibai has indeed studied this Bashan County for a long time, since Chen Ziqian asked about this matter, naturally there is nothing to hide: "Bashan County extends in all directions, the city defense is strong, this place is the weight of our army's conquest of Huaihua, taking Bashan, it is like curbing Huaihua's throat, this time the march will win, but the humble post is puzzled that such an important strategic point, Huaihua Taishou actually only sent a thousand troops to garrison, lord, you see." ”

Luo Taibai said and handed a piece of information to Chen Ziqian, which was the situation in Bashan County sent back by the front-line scouts.

Chen Ziqian took it and looked at it, if the scout was not mistaken, Bashan County really only had 1,000 troops stationed.

"Could it be that Huaihua Taishou didn't know that we were going to raise troops to recruit him, so he neglected to take precautions against Bashan County?" Chen Ziqian casually made a judgment.

Luo Taibai shook his head and said: "Impossible, since the defeat of Mr. Jing, Huaihua has become extremely important to Yong'an, and Huaihua Taishou Zhang Jiangke has been trained in the army for several years in his early years, and he has a strong ability to lead troops and fight, since he has been eyeing Yong'an for a long time, he will definitely not be defenseless." ”

"Then what did you find after looking at it for a long time?" Chen Ziqian doesn't know much about the specific situation, but since Luo Taibai is skeptical, there must be a real problem.

Luo Taibai nodded and explained his judgment.

The first is to bluff, deliberately exposing the emptiness of Bashan's defenses, so that the enemy can relax his vigilance, so as to set up an ambush and defeat the enemy with one blow.

The second is that Huaihua is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is temporarily unable to draw more soldiers and horses to guard against Yong'an, after all, Huaihua is surrounded by barbarians in the south and Yunzhou in the west.

In addition, the Nanban side is also not at ease, and it has successively destroyed the border textile market trade treaty, and Huaihua has no help from the history of thorns, so it is indeed a little difficult to get stuck in that position.

Moreover, intelligence from all sides shows that Huaihua's current total strength is only 40,000, and it is simply impossible to deal with so many problems at the same time.

But Luo Taibai always felt that this was too logical, and it made him feel abnormal, which caused him to bite Bashan County tightly.

After Chen Ziqian understood these situations, he expressed his understanding, nodded and said: "No matter what the specific situation in Huaihua is now, it is imperative to raise troops, wait until the army is overwhelmed, and then see, he Zhang Jiangke can pinch and calculate, can he be more difficult than Jing Ce Nian?" ”

"That's what the lord said!" Luo Taibai breathed a sigh of relief, with Chen Ziqian's help, it was not so serious.

"How are the 50,000 soldiers and horses you prepared?" Chen Ziqian asked casually, this is the key to this mobilization.

Luo Taibai said with a serious face: "Recently, due to the attack of stragglers, many families in Yong'an counties have been ruined, and it has been temporarily decided to recruit 3,000 young men from each county to relieve the pressure of civil affairs in each county, and at present, a total of 30,000 recruits have entered the camp in the ten counties, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yumen Mountain and Anyi, 50,000 soldiers and horses have been prepared. ”

"So many recruits?" Chen Ziqian frowned slightly, this is to fight the war, not to fight the autumn wind, the use of new soldiers is definitely not conducive to the formation of troops, and the losses will be great at that time.

Luo Taibai has already made arrangements for this: "The lord can rest assured, these 30,000 recruits have been arranged, of which 15,000 will be handed over to Zuo Duwei to practice in Hupan Mountain, replacing the 15,000 soldiers and horses who are responsible for encircling and suppressing stragglers in the near future, the real recruits are only 15,000, and it should not be a problem to follow the lord to conquer Huaihua." ”

"That's very good." Chen Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief, it was much easier to handle just 15,000 recruits, and all of them were scattered and distributed to the old establishment, and the veterans were leading them, so it was not a big problem.

And Luo Taibai then studied the strategy of the army for a while, this time to conquer Huaihua, commanded by Chen Ziqian himself, under the command of Luo Taibai as the military division, Lin Xiaodao as the main general, 50,000 troops can choose a day to go out of Yumen Mountain, directly take Huaihua in Fanyang County, and then go all the way to the south, take Ba Mountain, take Huaihua.

There are only three tough battles to be fought, and if nothing else, this battle can be successfully concluded within a month.

With these arrangements, Chen Ziqian learned some more from Tan Wenhao, and the logistics materials such as grain, grass, and medicinal materials were all prepared by the Juncheng side, and these things could not be lost, even more important than soldiers and horses.

Of course, Tan Wenhao also knows the truth that the two armies are fighting first, and he has already deployed them properly, but the problem is that those big families in the territory have a lot of complaints about taking the initiative to recruit Huaihua, and they are even ready to take the opportunity to stuff people into the system.

Tan Wenhao has a headache about this, dealing with people has always been his weakness, especially when dealing with those calculating families, and even the bones have to be gnawed clean.

This time the army conquered Huaihua, Chen Ziqian and Luo Taibai were not there, and Tan Wenhao, as the county leader, had to stand up and preside over the overall situation.

Chen Ziqian also knows that this is not easy for Tan Wenhao, but no matter how difficult it is, he always has to face it, if he doesn't learn to solve the problem, how can he be alone in the future?

Of course, in addition to sharpening Tan Wenhao, Chen Ziqian also wanted to take the opportunity to test those families, and it could even be said that he gave those families a chance to rebel.

Affected by the recent war, in fact, many families have already become dissatisfied with Chen Ziqian, and this time they spent huge manpower and material resources to provoke a war to conquer Huaihua, which caused a lot of damage to the interests of those families.

Most of the families are merchants, and businessmen seek profits, they don't care about the general trend of the world, or what the situation of Yong'an, they only care about when they can calm down the war and continue to operate their own industries normally.

Of course, it's not impossible for Taishou to fight, so why don't you give them some protection?

I have to say that those big families are really shrewd and know that they can't get anything cheap from Chen Ziqian, so they have found opportunities to arrange people in the system.

As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and this expedition to Huaihua is a great opportunity for those big families to infiltrate the system.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziqian must find an opportunity to solve these constraints, and now he dares to do so just by conquest of Huaihua, and next time if he conquests farther away, those families must not join forces to rebel?
