Agreed with King Xian, Bailiyan rushed to the state political supervisor to make an appointment with Lu Gao and Zhao Xun to no one, and explained the plan and inventory, and the two were taken aback after hearing the news. Zhao Xun highly doubted Bailiyan's battle plan:

"The Marquis of Yongxing is also a man of soldiers, using cavalry to bypass the enemy town, and ordering the infantry to follow the siege, is this method too risky? And it's not hundreds of miles, it's thousands of miles. ”

"Yes, since ancient times, there has never been such a rapid advance of the battle method, a slight mistake, hundreds of thousands of lives will be cut off in vain, isn't it safer."

"The two generals, the main force of the Wei army is pressed on the front line, and there are no defenders in its hinterland, some are just some county soldiers, if our army advances slowly after annihilating the main force of the eastern front of the Wei Guo, and cannot wait to take the original mountain county, the Wei Guo will mobilize a large army from the west front to hinder our army's westward advance, so it is to give the eldest grandson and the Liang State a chance to counterattack. At that time, it will be other countries that will really benefit, and our country has endured for a long time, but only two or three counties of white land, what is the point of this? ”

Bai Liyan tried his best to persuade the two, but Zhao Xun still had doubts, and he asked Lu Gao:

"General Lu, how many soldiers will my country recruit this time?"

"There are 500,000 soldiers in the pre-conscription, 800,000 people, the total of the original town army is 1.65 million, in addition to 200,000 wagon battalions, which is 1.85 million people.

"This is not a trivial matter, Yongxing Hou, if you are involved in a bitter battle, if you are in a bitter battle and drag on for a long time, or even fight to the death, it will endanger the survival of the Xian country, do you know."

"Zhao Shuai, it is this battle that is extremely critical, and Yan Cai is determined to deal a heavy blow to the defense of the country with the momentum of thunder, in order to achieve a quick victory. What's more important is that the threat of the armpit people is far greater than the threat of the princes, even if Yan is bold and reckless, he does not dare to take the comfort of the Xianguo as a child's play, so this war Yan is completely sure to win a complete victory. ”

Zhao Xun hesitated, and he asked Lu Gao again:

"General Lu, now that you are more familiar with the army than the old man, our army now has the power to win a decisive victory and defend the country?"

If it weren't for the rush of time, there would be more than 100,000 new troops in our country at this time next year, and 100,000 people would be able to resist a million guards, which was still a foot army. If we combine artillery and ships, the combat strength of our 50,000 new troops is not inferior to that of a million patriotic tigers and wolves, and the certainty of winning this battle is indeed very great, but I am still worried that if the advance is too fast, it will cause chaos, and it will affect the situation of the war. ”

At this time, Bai Liyan answered:

"The first time this tactic is implemented, sudden accidents and chaos will be inevitable, and the key is to deal with it quickly and properly. As long as it is handled properly and the dispatch is urgent, there is no need to worry about any chaos that arises, and I also ask Lord Zhao Shuai Lu to seriously consider his opinions. ”

Zhao Xun twisted his white beard and thought for a long time, but his attitude was still cautious:

"Then the king agreed?"

"I have persuaded the king to send troops, and the king of tactics will still consider the suggestions of Zhao Shuai and Lord Lu. However, the tactics of war are of great importance, and it is hoped that the two of them will not be upheld, so as to avoid the leakage of military aircraft and accidents. ”

"Okay, let Ben Shuai think about it again, and reply tomorrow."

In fact, as early as 647 in the Shengyuan Dynasty, when he decided to attack and defend, Bailiyan began to transfer outstanding officers at all levels from the military battalion to form a framework similar to the "Army General Staff Headquarters" to formulate a war plan for attacking and defending the country.

At the same time, he sent royal guests to infiltrate the country, found out the roads and bridges in various places, stored the population, as well as the local people's conditions and aristocratic information, and formulated a detailed attack plan.

Given the current national conditions of the Xian State, continuing the traditional battle of fighting city by city and place by place in the past is tantamount to a meat grinder-style stupid tactic, which not only consumes guns, bullets, and human lives, but also wastes a lot of precious time fighting for a small area and loses the political initiative.

The fundamental changes in technology, logistics, and national strength have given the Xian army the space to use more advanced strategies and tactics, and it can make use of the traditional operational thinking of defending the country to concentrate on annihilating its main force. At the same time, with an absolutely superior force, it will rapidly advance westward and divide and encircle each key town, so as to achieve the goal of quickly occupying and disintegrating the defense of the country and mobilizing and gathering troops again. In the end, the guards were defeated militarily, and then the political goal of waging war was achieved.

In the afternoon, Bailiyan rushed back to the house. As soon as the front foot entered the arch of the backyard, I heard Bailifang chattering non-stop from afar, Xiao Chunyu, Chunrou Chunfang, Zhoukong, Bailixuan, and the women listened very energetically. Bai Liyan quickly stepped forward and interrupted:

"Fang'er, what are you talking about?"

Bai Lifang was shocked when she heard the news, and she was busy holding her tongue and turning around:

"Dad, it's really early to come back today."

"Don't change the subject, ask you, why don't you stay in the Cherish Fragrance Pavilion, what are you clamoring for here."

"Oh, that's right, my brother-in-law went to the Yixian Pavilion today, and it is said that he almost made a move on those sour and rotten literati's arguments."

Bai Liyan rolled her eyes when she heard the news, this hasn't come to the door yet, even her brother-in-law has been called.

"Who is your brother-in-law, you really want to block business on your own head, why don't you know how to be ashamed!"

"Dad, isn't the matter of Xu Gongzi and Xiangmei already decided, sooner or later they will be our family's sons-in-law, and it's not wrong to call your brother-in-law."

Bai Lifang looked very deserved, and Bai Liyan suddenly became a little angry, why did he give birth to such a daughter.

"You're going to keep an eye on someone's house?"

"The future brother-in-law, how can you have to interrogate well, in case your father looks away, won't it hurt my sister Xiang'er."

"You, you, it's good to take care of your own affairs, what do you have to worry about your sister's marriage, you won't marry anyway!"

As soon as these words came out, the women burst into laughter, and Bailifang's face was red and red, so she was not ashamed:

"Dad, I said that you are not allowed to mention this matter, why do you mention it again!"

"Okay, what to do and what to do, don't always stare at people, it's not good."

"Oh......"

Baili Fang retreated to the side, and instead laughed with Bai Li Xuan Wei Ningning, Bai Li Yan came to Zhou Kong and said:

"Follow me to the study, and I'll explain something to you."

"Hmm!"

When he drove to the study, and when the two of them sat down, Bai Liyan whispered:

"I'm going to use troops against the country soon, you should rush back to the town army garrison tomorrow and get ready to leave."

Zhou Kong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Didn't you say that you have to wait for the eldest grandson to agree to cut the land before sending troops, and now you will send troops before you get the land, is this okay?"

"The situation of defending the country has changed, the situation in Fangling is not very good, if the guards completely attack Fangling and gain a firm foothold, and then send troops to attack and defend, it will be a little tricky and troublesome, so it is not possible to eat all the Fangling, and it must be transferred back to the main force."

Fangling is a hilly landform, with large areas of mountains and forests, and the coastal tidal flats are also hilly, and the Wei army will retreat from Dekang, and a considerable part of them will retreat into Fangling, which will bring uncertainties to the westward advance of the Xian army.

The guards who retreated into the hills will use the hills and forests as a cover to deal with the Xian army, and if they attack on a large scale, the effect of the artillery will be greatly reduced, and the Xian army will not be able to give full play to its artillery superiority.

Therefore, it was necessary to issue a threat of war before the Wei Guo completely captured Fangling, forcing the Wei Guo to stop expanding the gains of the war, so as to transfer it back to Dekang and expose it to the Xian artillery.
