The camp was dusty, and some cavalry were drilling, which was to warm up for the upcoming big battle, what was the purpose of the warm-up? Naturally, it is to be able to get into the state as quickly as possible.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing kept coming to the tent, and everyone in the tent was deaf.

Minister Xu Yan said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for the Rouran people to suddenly flee away, and almost get rid of our reconnaissance and tracking!" ”

General Su Ji stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the Rouran people must understand that we know their purpose, and their sudden escape may be because they want to continue to confuse us and let us show our flaws, and our food and grass are also limited, and it is impossible to consume them indefinitely, Tuga really wants to exhaust our patience first!" The minister speculated that the Rouran tribes on the Mobei side had begun to be broken into pieces or moved away on a large scale, and if our Eastern Route Army and the Middle Route Army had nothing to gain, and the Rouran people had only temporarily lost the grassland, but in fact their strength was not damaged, then Tuhe Zhen could rest assured that he would go down with us and solve us before our other two armies arrived! ”

At this time, a small official walked in, and he walked up to Zhao Ping and whispered a few words.

Zhao Ping's face changed a few times after hearing this, and after sending the little official out, he walked to the middle and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Father, I just received a message from the general Wei Dependent, he has been marching northwest along the direction of Sushui, and in the past few days, he has knocked out several Rouran tribes and captured a lot, but in the past two days, I found that the Rouran tribes along the way have gone forward, leaving nothing behind, and the Rouran people have also left dead sheep and dead cattle in the water source to pollute the water source!" This greatly delayed the advance of the Central Route Army, because the soldiers had to camp every day and stop to dig wells to get water to boil before they could drink! ”

The ministers and generals immediately whispered.

Dongfang Chen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this news has confirmed General Su's speculation, it seems that Tuhe Zhen has ordered the various Rouran tribes in Mobei to move away, leaving only an empty grassland, and our other two armies may be attacked by the plague at any time!" I believe that the news of the Eastern Route Army will also be sent soon, and as expected, it should be consistent with what the Middle Route Army said! ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a few breaths and asked, "Does the national teacher have a good plan?" ”

Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment, and arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that since the various Rouran tribes on the march have moved away, there is no need for our other two armies to march along a fixed route, and they should be changed one after another, but the destination remains the same, so that the other two armies can go straight to the Rouran Khan's court, so that the army can be avoided from contracting the plague as much as possible!" ”

"As for our way, the minister thinks that we should also change the established strategy, now the Rouran Khan Tuhe really has plenty of time to use the wolf tactics to deal with us, once he seizes the opportunity, his men and horses will frantically pounce on us and bite us, we must take the initiative to attack!"

"How to attack?" General Chang Kun asked.

Dongfang Chen smiled: "General Chang, the national division is only responsible for giving advice to His Majesty, and the specific combat methods are not something that Poor Dao should worry about, and this is not what Poor Dao is good at!" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up and walked out from behind the desk, walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stopped and asked, "It's time for our army to take the initiative!" Generals, how should this battle be fought? ”

In the military aspect, the generals of the Qianguo State already have a very high level of quality, especially the military generals of the younger generation, who are in their thirties, and it is precisely when they are in the prime of life that they have sufficient time to study military affairs.

Su Ji stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, to deal with the wolf pack tactics, the last general thinks that they should use the wolf pack tactics to fight against them, but the Rouran people have an advantage in terms of strength, this is our shortcoming, the end will have a suggestion, first find a way to clear the Rouran sentinels around our army, and then concentrate on one or two of the Rouran people with lightning speed, and wait for the Rouran people to react, their forces are no longer dominant, and we have no chance to do this again, but we can use the wolf pack tactics!" ”

Later, the other generals also offered their own ideas, but Zhao Junsheng still felt that only Su Ji's combat tactics of using the wolf pack tactics to deal with the wolves were the most suitable, and the other generals' tactics were not fully implemented under the current situation, although the possibility of success was there, but the chance of winning was not big enough.

Only the tactics proposed by Su Ji are easy to implement, and the chances of winning are also large, but it is not enough to rely on the tactics of wolves alone, even if they win, the losses will be very large.

"I decided to use the wolf pack method plus the guerrilla method of warfare, and the specific tactical arrangement is as follows······

Under Zhao Junsheng's explanation, the ministers and generals understood Zhao Junsheng's intentions, several generals got their combat missions, and other generals who did not get combat missions stayed by Zhao Junsheng's side for the time being.

In the first battle, for the sake of safety, Zhao Junsheng chose Xue Andu, a veteran, to lead the troops, saying that he was a veteran, in fact, he was not yet fifty years old, but his qualifications were the oldest among the generals in this trip.

In order to block the news, Zhao Junsheng ordered a number of small groups of cavalry to conduct a carpet search within dozens of miles around the camp, and forced out all the Rouran sentry horses hidden nearby and then besieged them, and for a time the Rouran people became deaf and blind.

Not long after nightfall, Xue Andu set off with 20,000 cavalry, Zhao Junsheng sent Su Ji to him as a deputy general, Su Ji was one of the first batch of martial artists, born poor, without a prominent family background and inheritance, martial arts still began to learn after joining the army, and practiced hard in the army, and scored the top few in the martial arts scientific examination with a masterful archery, which caused a great sensation at the time.

At that time, his batch of martial artists are now in high positions, but none of them have the experience of leading the troops alone, especially without the experience of being alone, Zhao Junsheng asked Su Ji to make Xue Andu a deputy general also to give him a chance to exercise, famous generals are all trained, no one is born to fight.

Xue Andu and Su Ji's task was not easy, the two of them had to lead their troops to run one hundred and fifty miles at the fastest speed, and launch an attack before dawn, targeting the 20,000 Rouran cavalry located at the southeast foot of Zhuo Xie Mountain in the southwest.

There was not much time left for Xue Andu and Su Ji, they had to arrive with their troops four hours before, and they had to leave half an hour for the cavalry to prepare for battle.

In the middle of the night, the army had been marching for two hours, and all the horses were running out of breath.

The scout at the front reported on time just now, indicating that everything was normal in front of him, Xue An turned his head and asked, "How far has the march been?" ”

Su Ji immediately asked loudly: "Remember the drum car, how far have you traveled?" ”

A petty officer immediately replied: "General, you have walked nearly ninety miles!" ”

Xue Andu immediately ordered: "The whole army stops advancing, rests in place for a while, and if you want to and pee, solve it quickly, feed the horses a little water and beans, and eat some dry food to maintain your strength!" ”

When the military order was delivered, the soldiers stopped their advances, jumped off their horses and fed the horses, and quickly ran to the side to solve the problem when they wanted to do so, and came back to eat some dry food and drink some water.

Su Ji took out a cake and handed it to Xue Andu: "General, eat some!" ”

Xue Andu took out a cake and waved his hand: "You eat yours, I have it myself!" By the way, the direction of our march is correct, right? ”

Su Ji said: "The last generals on this road have checked the road signs, they are left by the scouts, they have gone to reconnoiter two or three times, and there will be no mistakes, and the direction of the guide car is no problem, right!" ”

"So I'm relieved, if I go in the wrong direction, it will delay the fighter! How do you think this battle should be fought? ”

Su Ji thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "The guard posts at night are generally arranged within ten miles of the camp, it is easy to find the open sentry, but it is a little difficult to find the secret sentry!" I'm going to think we should put out the fire as soon as possible to prevent the enemy guards from discovering our whereabouts! Even if the enemy guard arrives at the camp before our troops, it will take time for the enemy's 20,000 soldiers and horses to assemble, and we will have enough time to crush them before they can complete their assembly! Besides, as long as the enemy guard post is exposed, our scouts can still chase and kill, and they may not have a chance to rush back to report! ”

Xue Andu nodded with a smile, and agreed with Su Ji's suggestion: "This idea is good, it is worthy of being one of the first few martial artists, after studying and studying as a soldier, and with excellent grades when you graduate, it is no wonder that Your Majesty values you so much, no one else has the opportunity to be a deputy general for me, but you are the only one who comes out on top!" ”

Su Ji smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask the general to give me a lot of help, if there is anything wrong with the general, you can beat and scold!" ”

"It's good to say what to bring, don't you dare to beat and scold, you are Your Majesty's heart, in the future, I, a bad old man, can't ride a horse, can't fight, can't lead soldiers, and I hope that you, the successors, will take care of it, don't let us live too bleak in our old age!"

Su Ji hurriedly said: "That can't be, the general is a hero of the great cadres, and now he is in the prime of life, with a body like you, even if you are seventy years old, you can still ride a horse and fight, and we juniors still need the general to mention it from time to time so that we will not go the wrong way!" ”

"Hahaha······" Xue Andu laughed, looking very happy, and reached out to pat Su Ji's shoulder, "I like you kid, no wonder you have improved so quickly, in addition to your own efforts, being able to speak is also a great advantage of yours!" ”

After eating the bread, Su Ji looked at the hourglass next to him and said to Xue Andu: "General, the time is almost up!" ”

"Well, order all the soldiers to get on their horses, extinguish the torches, and the army continues to advance!"

The order was given, everyone got on their horses, and the soldiers in front quickly marched forward on horseback, and those behind quickly followed.
