Chapter 492: Armament for War
Wu Xun laughed loudly and said: "Uwe is indeed a responsible man, if he looks forward and cares, what kind of climate can he become?" It is the right thing to do to give up the small and the big, and I believe that he will be able to make the most correct choice. For the black barbarians who have lived here for hundreds of years, this will undoubtedly be a groundbreaking event! ”
Li Yi nodded with a sigh and said, "If Uwei can convince the Council of Elders, he and the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages will definitely have something extraordinary." He knew very well in his heart that if he only relied on our Yunnan family, the chances of success would be much slimmer. In any case, it only makes sense that he will pull you Zhenxiong over. ”
"Therefore, whether the Council of Elders agrees or not is not the point of question, it only depends on whether he, Uwe, has the determination. Hehe! Next, it's time to discuss the detailed deployment of the march into the country. ”
Wu Xun nodded and said, "We have always been good friends with the Shu Kingdom, and there is not much pressure on the border. So we were able to do our best to draw troops, and I estimate that 6,000 should be fine. It's just that there is always a suspicion of arbitrariness if the army is moved without an order from the imperial court, and if it is impeached by the ministers of the court, I am afraid it will not be explained clearly. ”
Lin Yi heard Wu Xun say this, and said with a slight smile: "Why should Marshal Wu worry, the general will be disaffected by the order of the monarch outside, and the Marshal of the Domain Town already has the right to act with a camera." What's more, the Furan people colluded with the Furan tribe to attack us first, and also killed more than 200 of our officers and soldiers, no matter what, we went with the purpose of counterattacking, and even if the conflict eventually expanded, it would be difficult to grasp. ”
"Therefore, no matter how much we want to do this well, we must not push the country into a corner. As long as we can assist Uwe in reclaiming this territory to the west and south of the country, our mission will be accomplished. ”
"We must not chase and fight the Qiqi people, so that they have nowhere to live, you must know that the strength of the Qiqi people should not be underestimated, once we fight for our lives, I am afraid we will suffer great losses."
"And the greater benefit is that let the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages and the Qiqi Kingdom divide the land and rule, and divide the strength of both of them, and Ta Wuwei will continue to rely on us, and Puli, the king of Qiqi, can also not act without looking at our faces. When the time comes, we will still be able to maintain contact with both of them, and the trade will bring us great benefits. ”
"And without overly powerful neighbors on our side, we in Yunnan and Zhenxiong will have little pressure. Isn't that a happy situation for all? ”
Wu Xun stroked his palms and laughed: "Master Lin's insight is really clever, and being with a tiger is not something we want to see." So, even if Nayon eventually gains the upper hand and Tauwe has a bargaining chip that is worth the stake, what is there to worry about? ”
Li Yi nodded and said, "Now that our bottom line has been determined, we have to plan the deployment of the army." In my opinion, our two places can act separately, and our Yunnan troops are insufficient, so we can only concentrate on attacking the southern part of the country, or we can do something. And Wu Dashuai's department can assist Uwe to march from the north, let's attack from the north, so that it is difficult for the Qi people to deal with, and it will definitely be effective, I don't know what Wu Dashuai wants? ”
Wu Xun groaned slightly and said, "Except for the main force of the Qiqi people in the Puding section of the Sancha River, other places should be easy to break. There is no order from the imperial court, and their ordinary people are self-cultivated and scattered in various places. So as long as we push fast enough, we basically won't encounter much resistance. ”
"What Master Lin and Qiu said is exactly the strategy we will adopt in the future, dividing the large army into multiple detachments, advancing in unison, and seeking opportunities to annihilate the enemy, which is undoubtedly the best way under such terrain conditions."
Qiu Feng interjected: "Your Excellency is reasonable. There are many clans in the country, hundreds of cottages go their own way, each cottage is at most two or three thousand people, most of them are six or seven hundred people, as long as our detachment has three hundred people, it is enough to deter these cottages, so that they dare not act rashly. Once you have crossed the territory of these mountain people, you can concentrate your forces on attacking the various states and counties. For example, Zhenning, the capital of the Qiqi State on the south bank of the Sancha River, can completely isolate it and solve other states and counties first. ”
When everyone heard this, most of them nodded in agreement. Next, the specific deployment of the army was discussed, and it was determined that Yunnan was responsible for the southern and western parts of the Qiqi Kingdom, and Zhenxiong was responsible for assisting Uwe, launching a full-scale attack from the north. The plan was decided, and Wu Xun stayed in the camp in Yunnan that night, waiting for the news brought by Uwei.
The next afternoon, as expected, Uwe and Jagi came in person to inform them of the results of the Council of Elders. Although there were still a few elders who did not approve of the cession of Wuyang Mountain, under the leadership of senior elder Zimobo, most of the elders finally agreed to Uwe's proposal, so that there was no resistance to the dispatch of Zhenxiong's army, and they were only waiting for a full-scale attack.
At that moment, Li Yi and Wu Xun told Uwei and Shaji about the offensive strategy they had planned yesterday, and both of them deeply agreed, believing that under the current situation, only by making the people unable to take care of each other can the maximum power of the tripartite alliance be brought into play.
At present, Uwe has begun to mobilize young men from more than 70 villages in Jiudong and 18 villages, and all men over the age of 14 and under 45 have been mobilized to form a large army of more than 10,000 people. Now just wait for all the Zhenxiong troops to be in place, and then they can launch a full-scale attack.
By the time the full planning and deployment was completed, the sky was gradually getting dark. Wu Xun rushed back to Zhenxiong with his personal guards overnight, and Uwe and Shaji also took their leave.
Li Yi arranged for Jian Zheng and Lin Yi to take nearly 2,000 men and horses from the cavalry battalion, Pudao battalion, and logistics battalion, as well as 200 scouts led by Du Yi and Zhao Shang, to set off that night, rush back to Baoshan Pass first, and mobilize part of the troops of the vigilante battalion and Yuezhou Wei, gather about 3,000 men and horses, and assemble in the southern part of Luoping County within three days, ready to attack Xingyi County.
Li Yi took 200 personal soldiers, as well as Zhang Bo's 300 cavalry and 300 infantry, Qiu Feng's 200 scout battalion soldiers, a total of more than 1,000 people, to stay here temporarily, and wait for the next morning to set up camp and rush to Huopu Town, Fuyuan County, in the west of the Qiqi Kingdom, from where they launched an attack on the Qiqi Kingdom.
In fact, Li Yi's journey was just a feint, and Li Yi had already made up his mind that this time we would carry a large amount of supplies, including the mountain people's favorite salt, iron farming tools, cloth, etc., in order to achieve the effect of buying people's hearts. Only when encountering a hard-line tribe that wants to make enemies of Yunnan will force be used.
Surrendering without a fight and reducing casualties is the means that Li Yi hopes to use the most.
