All kinds of trivial matters were finally resolved after being discussed again and again.

Now all the focus will revolve around how to send troops to solve the problem of building slaves as quickly as possible.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the war deduction made by the General Staff Department, the strategic goal that Jiannu wants to achieve this time is probably not the Monan region.

According to what the General Staff Department knows about the investigation of the Nine Frontier Defense Line over the years, from the perspective of Jiannu's intention to counterattack, there are various plans for the purpose of Jiannu's appearance in the Monan area this time.

It is expected that the first is to realize the actual strategy of attacking the northern Zhili and Shanxi regions through Duoyan and Guihua City;

The second is to use the purpose of our army to be attracted to achieve the practical strategy of counterattacking Liaodong and the peninsula;

The third expectation is to use the dispatch of troops to the Monan region to disrupt the relevant layout of our department in the grassland, and at the same time find out that our department is wrong, and act on the camera at that time!

According to the different plans, the General Staff Department has also drawn up corresponding operational plans. ”

Seeing that the relevant matters had been settled, Chen Qiyu told the results of the emergency exercise conducted by the General Staff Department, saying that after years of tempering, the General Staff Department has grown into a war planning and deduction center with high-intensity response capabilities.

Many of the decision-making layouts under Zhao Zongwu's command came from the handiwork of the General Staff Department, such as the plot of the rogue forces, and the righteous and bright strategies all came from the General Staff Department, and only those obscure deployments came from the demons of the secretary and supervisor.

After years of cooperation, Zhao Zongwu has great trust in the staff department, and he also trusts all the subordinate agencies under his command.

Don't look at this as the General Staff Department, it took a very short time to make a deduction plan, but behind this, there are a lot of basic guarantees, and every year just the intelligence from Jiannu is enough to make some people feel a headache.

Everyone enters the forces under Zhao Zongwu, and they all have different functions that belong to them, if they want to do nothing under Zhao Zongwu, don't care about things, and mess around, it is absolutely impossible!

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Yes, there are traces of the deduction plan, and the staff department is worthy of being the center of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion, and these three plans specifically reflect the possible behavior of Jiannu." But you are missing the most important part of the story. Speaking of this, Zhao Zongwu said sharply.

This made everyone present stunned.

Chen Qiyu bowed down and said, "Please also ask Grandpa Guo for guidance." ”

"I can't talk about pointing." With a smile on his face, Zhao Zongwu waved his hand and said, "Actually, I don't blame you for the staff department.

Although it is said that Bengong still leads the troops all these years, it is only the nominal commander, and the specific battle is handed over to all the people present, as well as the commanders of the towns and the commanders of the regiments, to actually command.

Since Jiannu slipped away from Ben Gong's hands, then this last battle must be solved by Ben Gong himself, and it has been a long time since Ben Gong came, and he has not played against a real strong enemy! ”

To the extent that Zhao Zongwu is at his level, many times he can't easily get into danger, but with the actual situation in front of him, it is obviously a very unrealistic thing to let Qianglong stay honest.

But when Zhao Zongwu said these thoughts, everyone present showed different looks.

What the?

What the?!

Aren't you always joking, are you going to put down the Jiannu Rebellion, are you still going to lead the troops in person?

When Zhao Zongwu's intention to express was guessed by everyone present, their hearts were shaken.

Although sometimes, they will become entangled because of their subordination, but on the other hand, they are also sincere to Zhao Zongwu.

Among them, the shortest time to work with Zhao Zongwu is seven years, and the longest is even fourteen years, in such a long relationship, if you say that there is no emotion between them, it is definitely unrealistic.

People are not plants.

Chen Qiyu frowned and said, "Grandpa Guo must not!" Although Liaodong Town has sent front-line intelligence this time, our department is not the most sure of the real situation of Jiannu, if there is a mistake in the speculation of Jiannu's soldiers and horses, if the staff department makes a mistake in the deduce the intention of Jiannu to fight, if you are in danger because of this, it will be absolutely unfavorable to our department! ”

Because of the long time together, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhang Hu, Chen Xiong, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Yang Jingchen; Chen Qiyu, Fan Tianxiong, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Ding Kui, Zhao Zonglin, Zhao Shujiao, Li Yun, Sun Zushou They don't have much idea in normal times, but if Zhao Zongwu is really in danger, or even if Zhao Zongwu has any accidents, then this seemingly thriving force may collapse in a short time!

Zhao Zongwu doesn't seem to have made much changes in the past ten years, but if you really list it carefully, Zhao Zongwu's contributions are really countless.

It is precisely because of such an existence that this group from all over the world can be united, if it is really a different person to do it, he may not be as good as Zhao Zongwu is doing now!

And to bring a group of people from all over the world together, except for the current emperor, it seems that no one else has such ability.

Although among the people present, there was still some luck in Da Ming's hearts, but the reality had changed the place under their governance, and at the same time changed their hearts, so it was only a matter of time before Zhao Zongwu went to this highest position.

"Grandpa Guo! Don't be impulsive! This campaign is not as good as the conquest of the rogue, and there are too many hidden dangers in the middle......"

"Brother Jiandou is right, Grandpa Guo, this matter must not be decided so hastily!"

"Grandpa Guo......"

It was also followed by Chen Qiyu's persuasion, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa and others all bowed down to Zhao Zongwu to persuade them to conscript Jiannu and return to Jiannu, but this does not mean that they must go to conquest in person, this matter is too big, and it must not be decided so easily!

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhao Zongwu said earnestly: "This duke knows what you are worried about, but this time this duke thinks very clearly, this is the fourteenth year of leading the troops since the Liaodong Campaign, and the reason why this duke has today's achievements, in fact, there is no need for this duke to say much, everyone present must be clear in their hearts."

Because Liaodong was bullied by the fierce Jiannu, because my father was not used to what Jiannu did, this father, as a dignified Chinese man, must not watch my compatriots being bullied, since the seventh year of the Apocalypse to the present, it is counted as nine years, in these nine years, there is no day in this heart is relaxed.

Previously, there was obviously a chance to level the Jiannu in one fell swoop, but after that, due to various reasons, the Duke finally did not make up his mind and pay such a big price to conquer the Jiannu forces who fled to the wilderness. ”

To tell the truth, Zhao Zongwu actually regretted it a little in his heart, because when Dai Shan led the troops to run away from the slaves to do the capital, if he could grit his teeth at that time, even if he tried everything to eradicate the Jiannu forces, then there would not be the current situation.

But on the other hand, if Zhao Zongwu really wanted to do this at that time, I am afraid that he might not really have the achievements he has today.

After all, there is no such thing as perfection.

Sometimes the war is just a continuation of politics.

In the final analysis, Zhao Zongwu at that time was just a local magistrate who dominated one side, and there were many mountains above his head, although he was the Marquis of Daming and the Marquis of Pingliao at that time, but there were some things that he could not all decide.

If Zhao Zongwu at that time could have the power he has today, I am afraid that the Ming banner at this moment may have already changed hands......

It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world.

"Grandpa Guo must not think like this!" Chen Qiyu persuaded: "As far as the actual situation of our department at that time is concerned, in order to recover the lost territory, our army has indeed suffered very serious losses, and at that time, the lost territory was first recovered, and many places have become extremely chaotic.

Moreover, in terms of the actual combat level of our army at that time, although it is said that our army won exciting victories on the frontal battlefield and during the struggle with Jiannu, it was all because our army was equipped with all kinds of firearms that were far better than those of Jiannu. Moreover, jungle operations, wilderness operations, and operations under harsh conditions, in the face of this series of unfamiliar combat modes, if you really want to forcibly lead the troops to chase and suppress, I am afraid that it will be our army that will suffer heavy losses in the end!

Therefore, at that time, Grandpa Guo, you could restrain the desire to survive in your heart, for the sake of the people of Liaodong, and for the sake of the safety of our soldiers, it was definitely not as you said!! ”

Seeing the strategic deployment before his grandfather regretted it in public, Chen Qiyu, as a staff officer, must not let his grandfather carry this black cauldron!

Because as far as the situation at that time is concerned, although it is said that the Jiannu forces finally managed to escape, but after taking all the factors together, as far as Zhao Zongwu was absolutely at that time, it must be the best.

If there is really a chance to eradicate the Jiannu forces in one fell swoop, not only will the core of the army created by Zhao Zongwu suffer heavy losses, but the army he created will also be corrupted quickly, because sometimes the victory on the battlefield is too fast, which is not necessarily a good thing!

Based on various considerations, and at the same time in order to sharpen the army under his command, Zhao Zongwu made the decision not to fight to eradicate the Jiannu forces.

For these situations, Zhao Zongwu knows better than anyone else in his heart.

It's just that the current situation is different from the seven years of the Apocalypse.

The current Zhao Zongwu, that is the auxiliary government of the Ming Dynasty, before the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Ciran was not in power, he controlled the military power of the Ming Dynasty!

And according to the deployment arrangements over the years, it can be said that one-eighth of the territory of the Ming Dynasty is included in his hands, but most of them are hidden in the shadows.

Originally, Zhao Zongwu still wanted to use the conquest of the rogue forces to gradually talk about these obscure gray and white forces, and gradually truly include them under his command, even if others knew about it, it would already be a boat, and they couldn't say anything in the face of such a fierce situation.

Because in the face of absolute power, all talk is false.

After listening to Chen Qiyu's story, Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Yu Xuan said that this duke understands it in his heart, but even if this duke made the most correct decision at that time, but the current situation is inextricably linked to the fact that this duke has not led the campaign to conquer Jiannu over the years. ”

Since it is sensational, then Zhao Zongwu must pretend to the end.

"Grandpa Guo's words are wrong!!" Sun Chuanting didn't agree when he heard this: "Over the years, Liaodong has been in a stage of rapid development, in order to support the rapid expansion of our department, so that the local people can really live a stable and healthy life, Grandpa Guo has paid too much over the years!"

If the development of Liaodong comes to a standstill, then the impact will not only be the stability of Liaodong, but also the stability of the peninsula, Wadao, Treasure Island, and Nanyang!

If there is any difference in the above-mentioned regions, it will have a huge impact on the strategic layout of our department overseas!! ”

I see!

I really didn't expect that I would do so many meaningful things over the years?!

In fact, think about it the other way around!

It is already a miracle that such a force can be created in just over ten years, so that the Huaxia clan, which was originally forbidden from the sea, has the capital to play chess overseas.

Under such a miracle, even if the little Jiannu fought a few years late, it was not a big deal.

The corners of Zhao Zongwu's mouth slightly raised and listened to the persuasion of Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting, in fact, at this time, everyone's various performances also made Zhao Zongwu more determined in his heart to personally conquest Jiannu.

Because after his observation, he found that if he really compared the two strategic deployments of conquest of Liukou and encroachment on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, conquest of Jiannu and expansion of territory to the outside world, the latter would be more able to accelerate the sense of identity of the officials and generals under his command for him.

There is no harm without contrast.

When everyone sees that one side is strong and the other side is weak and short-term, when the disappointment in their hearts continues to accumulate, then it is inevitable to give up in the end.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Zongwu frowned slightly and said, "I won't mention the previous things anymore, and now we look at things from the perspective of our department!"

Nowadays, the nine sides are in the critical stage of rectification, and the Liaodong Town in the middle includes a lot of development deployments, no need to say anything else, you all know in your hearts that if Liaodong is really in this battle, there will be any mistakes, it will have a very huge impact on the follow-up implementation of our plan!

It's not that my father doesn't believe in your abilities, but that my father wants to eradicate the threat of Jiannu in a fight! But if you want to eradicate the Jiannu army in one fell swoop, I am afraid that there are no more than ten legions involved, and it is definitely not a matter that can be easily solved.

In addition, if you want to destroy the power of a country, there are many factors involved, such as coordinating more than ten participating legions, specific strategic deployments, coordinating local supply of troops, and so on! If you don't let Bengong come forward in person, I'm afraid ......" Next, Zhao Zongwu did not continue, because everyone present already knew the importance of this matter in their hearts.

With such a tone, what Zhao Zongwu and they need to discuss next is how to deploy troops and horses, if on the premise of dispatching troops and horses to fight, ensure that there are no accidents along the nine sides.

And on this basis, there should be many behaviors that can be regulated, such as self-defense, self-counterattack, and active counterattack along the nine-sided line.

This discussion went on for a day.

It is also based on this premise that a series of arrangements were finally issued by the Dingguo Government.

In order to ensure the smooth passage of the Jiannu expedition to the Monan area, the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion will be divided into two departments: the Commander-General's Mansion and the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, of which the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion will be the main body of the Staff Department, the Propaganda and Pacification Department, and the Coordination Department, accompanied by Chen Qiyu, Fan Tianxiong, and Ding Kui, and the Remaining Department will be the main body of the Supervision Department, the War Readiness Department, and the Secrecy Department, and Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou will be transferred to the Commander-in-Chief's Office.

Since then, the center of the conquest of Jiannu has been clearly under the command of the commander-in-chief's mansion, and the stability of the rear army has been transferred to the command of the remaining marshal's mansion.

If the core of senior leadership is clear, then the core of the middle and senior management who are struggling on the front line must also be clear.

In order to ensure the final victory of this war, Zhao Zongwu finally decided to transfer Ma Shilong, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town; Zu Dale, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town; Mao Wenlong, chief military officer of Taiyuan Town; Liu Xingzuo, chief military officer of Yansui Town; Wang Shiqin, the chief military officer of Thunder God Town, participated in the battle.

The control of the above-mentioned border towns was handed over to the Fujun envoys for the time being.

At the same time, Geng Zhongming's department, Wang Laipin's department, Xu Yanqi's department, Liu Xingbang's department, He Renlong's department, Mengruhu's department, Hu Dawei's department, Gao Jie's department, Liu Guangzuo's department, Chen Guangyu's department, Li Long's department, Xu Chunren's department, Dong Yongwen's department, Wang Guoliang's department, and Yang Jiamo's department, a total of 16 corps, not counting the auxiliary soldiers, there are nearly 300,000 people, if you count the auxiliary soldiers, it will probably reach more than 500,000 people!

This is not counting the Shang Kejin Department, Tao Guozuo Department, and Kong Youxing Department stationed in Liaodong Town.

With an army of this size, the slightest carelessness would put Zhao Zongwu in a situation from which he could never recover, so he had to be more cautious than anyone else!

If this battle can be won perfectly, then there will be no opponents in the entire Huaxia region!

But if this battle is ultimately lost, then the next situation is really hard to say!

Therefore, this is a battle that Zhao Zongwu must not lose, and if Zhao Zongwu can be treated so squarely, then the lord of the Qing Dynasty should be happy!

An unprecedented Armageddon has begun!!
