Privy council.

The old marshal Zhang Xutuo has white hair, in recent years, this old marshal has sat in the center, always in charge of the military talismans, and no longer goes out to fight and command, but the aging is very fast.

In a few years, his hair was white.

In the early years, Henan suppressed bandits and quelled the chaos, just like the firefighters, who had just extinguished here and there, running around to put out fires, almost without a fight, and exterminated hundreds of bandits and bandits, but they also left countless old wounds on their bodies.

Knife wounds, arrow wounds, gunshot wounds, as soon as the person stops, these wounds seem to be completely uncontrollable.

Coughed a few times, barely suppressed.

Zhang Xutuo raised his head, "We must give General Siye more troops." ”

At the military meetings of the Privy Council, not only the Deputy Privy Councillor but also the Privy Councillors of the five Houses were present. In addition, the generals of the 12th Army of the Northern Ya, the 12th General of the Southern Ya, and the Zhonglang General of the 16th Prefecture of the Inner Ya who were in Beijing also attended the meeting as observers.

As the central body in charge of military orders, the privy envoy has great power and responsibility.

"Didn't General Siye just win a big battle, beheading more than 1,000 people and capturing nearly 20,000?" A great general asked.

Although the Great Qin was divided into three soldiers, it was actually almost the same as Zhou Sui's separation of generals and generals.

In peacetime, the commanders of the troops are all middle- and low-level officers, and almost all of the senior officers are in the capital, and only when they receive the order to transfer the soldiers are ordered to go out of Beijing to lead the troops to fight.

Slightly different is that now Daqin has set up a governor to command envoys in each province, and each province has sent two or so governors to command envoys, once there is a war and military situation in the place, the imperial court will issue a decree and issue an order to the soldiers, and they can command the soldiers and horses as soon as possible.

However, the imperial court also has rules, and all provinces are governors and commanders, and they are not allowed to concurrently hold the positions of the three ya.

Therefore, the generals, generals, and lieutenant generals of the three yamen drink tea in their respective yamen on weekdays, and then take turns to give lectures to the Yulin Army in Yulin Palace, which is very idle.

However, when it is not a war, it is also the safest way for senior generals to stay in the DPRK and China.

Even the governors and envoys stationed in the provinces have no military power in peacetime.

"Actually, what Siye defeated in that battle was only the 5,000 forwards of the Tugu Hun Tianzhu King, broke a camp, and then captured more than 10,000 herdsmen who carried heavy baggage. It didn't hurt the enemy at all, not to mention, now we are facing more than just the rebels of Tuyuhun. ”

Zhang Xutuo asked people to take a sand table, which was the Tuyuhun sand table made by the Military Intelligence Bureau, one of the five houses under the Privy Council, to collect geographical information on mountains and rivers.

A group of generals, who have nothing to do all day long, as soon as they see the sand table, they all come to the spirit.

"After Siye defeated the 5,000 Tianzhu Army on the Dachuan Ridge, Cheng Mingzhen was left with 30,000 people to guard the Dafei Ridge, responsible for accepting the grain and grass transported from Longyou Hexi and Qinghai, and responsible for the soldiers and horses who were divided into troops to attack Wuhai City, where the Tianzhu King was located."

Facing the sand table, the explanation is much clearer.

The generals are all battlefield generals, and they know the terrain very well, and when they look at the sand table, they immediately know how to take the most suitable route for the march, where to garrison and defend, and where to stock up on grain and transport.

"It's not far from Dafei River to Wuhai, and it's quite convenient to march along this hot spring road. There is a large non-mountain grain hoarding and transshipment, and it is indeed well arranged and impeccable. ”

"Nonsense, you don't look at who is the commander of the army, it's the general Wang Siye."

The bravery of the three kings of the clan, that is undeniable, and among the three kings of the clan, Luo Siye is the most fierce, and he has many times of experience in commanding battles alone, but it can be said that he is deeply admired by the whole army, especially the last time, he took down the entire Heshuo Guanlong region with the strength of one person, and destroyed Li Tang alive, at least two years earlier than the imperial court plan.

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army under the command of General Siye, and there are 30,000 Tuyuhun troops under Murong Shun, and it should not be a problem to attack the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wuhai Tianzhu King."

Although Wuhai is a city, the city of Tuyuhun is not as strong and tall as the city of the Central Plains, and this kind of city is also a soil wall, and there is nothing to say about the defense.

Therefore, all the generals judged that the battle of Heiye should still be a field battle.

The two armies are equal in number, and even the heirs still have an advantage, so no matter how you look at it, the heirs can win.

"It used to be true, but now it's a new story."

Zhang Xutuo brought some small flags.

"The 10,000 Tubo army was originally going to Dafeiling to replenish, but now Dafeiling has been captured by Heiye, and after being garrisoned by Cheng Mingzhen, the 10,000 Tubo army has stopped moving in the south, and according to our military situation, Tubo has once again recruited soldiers and horses from Subi and Weizang, and it is reported that Tubo Zanpu Nanri Lunzan has increased 10,000 troops, and urgently mobilized to draw more soldiers and horses from the rear."

"At the same time, the party and Bailan Zhuqiang in the southwest are also very unstable now, and they are being moved by Tuyuhun and Tubo, and they are about to move, intending to send troops to loot."

Nanri Ronzan transferred troops on the one hand, and sent envoys over on the other hand, asking the princess of Daqin to marry. And declared, the princess is not coming, I will go deeper.

It's rampant.

However, the Privy Council analyzed that even if the imperial court really gave the princess to Tubo at this time, Tubo would never withdraw its troops and stop the war. According to the information they gathered, Tibet was now expanding rapidly and was in a period of arrogance, and if he hadn't been beaten, he would never have withdrawn his troops so easily.

This is the first time that Daqin and Tubo have fought each other, so they will never be taken lightly, they must fight, and they must be beaten, and they will not talk about it at all.

"According to our estimates, Tubo may eventually send about 50,000 troops, and Dangxiang, Bailan and other Qiang may also send about 50,000 troops, so the Tubo army from the south will reach 100,000 people."

"And the Western Turks are old and arrogant, and my Great Qin did not conquer him, but he took the initiative to attack, so this battle is inevitable."

A small southwestern feudal clan in Tubo can pull out 100,000 coalition troops.

The Western Turks dominate the Western Regions, and their strength has developed steadily and strengthened over the years.

"The first batch of Western Turkic troops is about 30,000 people, but we deduce the battle situation, after General Siye defeated the Tianzhu King in Wuhai, Murong Ke's coalition army may continue to ask for troops from the Western Turks."

"How many soldiers can you send?"

"If the war escalates, the combined forces of Murong Ke and the Western Turks in the west can reach 150,000 to 200,000 people."

Flags representing the enemy were planted on the sand table, each flag representing a thousand people, and soon they were already densely planted near Dafeiling and Wuhai.

Looking at these flags, the generals also suddenly understood the situation of the heir.

The combined army of Siye and Murong Shun, plus Cheng Mingzhen's Dafeiling garrison, government soldiers, county soldiers, tribal soldiers and Tuyuhun army, all added up to less than 80,000 people.

The enemy, on the other hand, will be at least 250,000 to 300,000 people.

Especially since this place is still deep into the plateau, there is no support before and after, and it is really going to be surrounded, but I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to fight.

"Why don't you withdraw first?"

"Withdraw a bird, increase the troops, fight them, do they have troops? I'm a big Qin armor with a million soldiers, I'm afraid of him as a bird! "The hot-tempered man came and slapped the table.
