The next day, there was no early dynasty, and Liu Yong called the people from the military department and Chen An to study the strategy against the Tartars.

Almost all of the military ministers, including the minister and vice minister, arrived.

Today, you, Liu Yong, are just briefly discussing, after all, there is still a long time before the war starts. The question of strategy should also be determined in the case of the Tarnus.

But Liu Yong wants to take advantage of this to have a general direction, and he wants to hear what these people have to say.

After discussing it all morning, it didn't satisfy Liu Yong with another plan. In the face of the long line along the Tianjiang River, the specific question of where to start the attack, the way to attack, and so on were basically not discussed.

Liu Yong saw that this was not something to be done in a hurry, since it was a strong soldier, then the training was the main thing. As for the strategy of attacking the Tarnus, it can be studied slowly. Especially to wait for the sick fairy to come to the staff, after all, he is a military advisor.

In terms of military affairs, Liu Yong is not yet sure of his strength. He didn't dare to test it for himself. To make a plan for military divisions, it is necessary to consider the overall situation. From the geography, weather, opponent's defense, and so on, a complete strategy can be determined.

Liu Yong originally studied, and he has read a lot of military books these days, but theory is theory, and actual combat is actual combat, and it is not the same thing.

Wu Qing made some suggestions, but in short, he also felt that it was too early to study strategic issues. But in fact, their quota strategy has already begun to be implemented. That is to strengthen military training. You know, at least a third of them are recruits, who have never fought.

However, among the recruits, there were also veterans who had fought for Dahua, saying that they wanted to fight the Tartars, so they enthusiastically joined the army. These veterans still have experience in warfare, but they don't know how to use this new weapon. Grenades, muskets, artillery.

In the army, try to arrange them to go to ordinary military camps, and let them adapt as soon as possible, that is, immediate combat strength.

And these recruits have to go through hard training. You must know that the tradition on the Tatar side is that all the grass and trees are soldiers. Because he is a nomadic tribe in the desert, there is a war around him, and all the young men who have fallen must go out to fight. There are elderly people. As long as he is strong, he must also mount a war horse.

In this way, the men of the Tarslavs basically rode horses and fought from an early age. War is in their blood.

At this point, the Han people, who mainly engaged in agriculture and handicrafts, were completely defeated. So, training is inevitable.

Of course, if the Han people are smart and well-trained, their combat power will be superior. The Tatars were reckless, simple-minded, and well-developed. Playing with the heart is a complete failure.

Liu Yong asked Wu Qing to step up training, how to arrange each branch of the army in the war, how to combine attacks, this must be refined like fire and pure love.

Regarding this matter, Wu Qing, as a minister, naturally did not dare to slack off.

When he got out of the court and returned to his yamen, he immediately issued the order, and the various military camps stepped up training, that is, prepared for war. And the arsenals under the Ministry of War should also step up the production of ammunition.

Then there's the food and grass aspect. Open to the whole country. It was the autumn harvest season, and the peasants did not have to pay taxes, so they set aside their own expenses, and the rest was paid for military rations. They all said that they didn't want money, but the imperial court also bought it at a guaranteed price.

And this money is Liu Yong's private money, which is expected to cost 20,000 taels of gold.

But this money is a must. Grain and grass are the lifeline of the army, the existence of blood. Without food and grass, the army is brave, and in the end it can only fail.

Fortunately, there were no major disasters in various places this year, and the grain was also a bumper harvest, and the imperial court raised grain and grass relatively smoothly. After issuing orders to the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, Liu Yong did not receive a single excerpt about the expropriation of grain and grass, which shows how smoothly things were.

It is expected that within two months, a year's worth of grain and grass for an army of 700,000 will be ready.

Of course, it is impossible for all of these 700,000 troops to attack. The important cities and towns in the country still have to be closed. But there will also be a northern expedition of 400,000 troops.

And the Tatar army of 800,000 is the same. The heavy troops are still Gong Wei Jingshi.

In fact, the actual fighting armies of the two houses at that time were only 800,000. Liu Yong has spies on the Tatar side, and the Tatars will also have spies on his side. The two sides still know the size of each other's armies.

But when it comes to the battlefield, the brave wins. In fact, it is not only bravery, but also tactics and weapons. And in the first battle, it can be seen whether the firearms that Liu Yong is proud of can really have the upper hand.

Liu Yong knew that the weakness of his side was cavalry. No way, until now, the shortage of war horses is still a problem. Originally, he could buy the war horses of the Liyue Kingdom, but now the Liyue Kingdom has been subjugated by the Tatars, and it is already a vassal state of the Tatars, and it is impossible to sell the horses to Huahan.

Unless Hua Han can liberate Li Yue.

This is also a question that Liu Yong often thinks about. The battle with the Tarnus was to be fought, but the southwest of his own country was still surrounded by the Tartars.

Gu spies inquired that there were nearly 50,000 Tatar troops stationed in Liyue Kingdom. And the 200,000 troops owned by the Liyue State must also be controlled by the Tatars, that is to say, the Liyue State has more than 250,000 Tatar troops.

In the past few days, Liu Yong has been looking at the map in the Qingxin Palace every day. It's almost wartime, and his Qingxin Palace is also a big map hanging in his study.

The two small states of Liyue and Xihum in the west were originally vassals of the Dahua Dynasty, and they were both culturally and economically dependent on the Dahua Dynasty.

At that time, the vassal state was actually just a region of the suzerain. The difference is that these places can enjoy self-government and pay annual tribute to the imperial court. But in terms of military affairs, it is all up to the suzerain.

Liu Yong knew that the brutality of the Tatar slaves, Nali Yue Kingdom and Xiyan must be complaining, and they dared to be angry and dare not speak out when they died. And not long after the establishment of their own regime, their security was again pinched by the Tartars. So I didn't dare to come rashly to take refuge.

Liu Yong asked the spies sent by Shenjimen to come back and report, saying that the people of Liyue and Xilu hated the Tartar slaves. And their court also hoped that Hua Han could defeat the Tartar slaves and then continue to be vassals of Hua Han.

This kind of information is invaluable to Liu Yong. This gave him a direction in the grand strategy of attacking the Tarnus.

At this time, Liu Yong looked carefully at the map on the wall, and laughed while looking at it. He felt that his strategy should be correct. And it will be a blow to the Tars.

This is a tactic that strikes the enemy and strengthens itself.

He made up his mind and took a pen and made marks on Liyue and Xiyu. Next, he immediately summoned the people from the military department to come to the meeting to make a final decision.
