Luo Tong asked Ma Zhou to put the armor away and seal it, and he didn't need this secret weapon for the time being.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Luo Tong summoned Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Yao Chi, Almaty, Fang Yiai, Luo Yuan, Wang Xuance, Du He, Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi to hold a meeting.

Distribute the six generals' treasure swords, and after they were excited, Luo Daodao: "Immediately pass my order, order Li Yesi to hand over the military affairs to the deputy general, lead the elite under his command, secretly set off, and go to Luziguan in Yanzhou to assemble, Cheng Chuliang also led the elite of Qingzhou and the Modao army to Luziguan, and accept Liu Boying's command together; ordered Liu Boying to control the armies, spread scouts widely, always pay attention to the movements of Shuofang, and once Shuofang changes, he will immediately lead troops to pounce. ”

"Luo Yuan led five hundred Mo swordsmen to secretly infiltrate Shuofang, if the situation changes, take down the West Gate for me. Qin Huaiyu took over the 9,000 new army, with Almaty and Fang Yiai assisting; I led a small formation of 3,000 Modao and a special combat team of 1,000. Xuan Ce, Qinglian, Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Shangguan immediately prepared the rations of the 13,000-strong army, asked for good dried meat, and found another time to transport 1,000 sets of new clothes and knives to Luziguan. After I leave, the five of you will be solely responsible for all matters in the Governor's Mansion, and everything will be decided by mutual consultation, and there is no need to report to me. ”

One command after another came out of his mouth, simple and powerful.

Although Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, Shangguanyi and Luo Tong have been together for half a year, they have never seen him lead the troops to fight, only that he does nothing and dares to delegate power.

Wang Xuance and Du He had already surrendered to Luo Tong, and they knew that Luo Tong would not be too peaceful, so they were not surprised by this, but they felt that it was a pity that they did not have the opportunity to play with Luo Tong.

Ma Zhou hesitated: "What do you want to do?" ”

Luo Tong squinted and smiled: "The history of the three states of Thorn said that Jieli used more than 400,000 troops to attack Tiele in the north, trying to annihilate Tiele in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and Tuli started a war with the Xi people in the east, so the interior of the grassland is empty. Since they are enjoying the fight, let's go to the grassland to make a fortune, and if possible, take Shuofang by the way. ”

The Turks have never had any secrets to speak of when they fight, and they have formed a large gang, even a three-year-old child knows that the war is coming, not to mention the secret agents sent by the Sanzhou Assassin History. Because of Luo Tong's special instructions, they spread the news to Gyeongju as soon as possible.

Liu Renliang thought of Luo Tong's appointment, and immediately reacted, and said in a low voice: "Do you want the governor to repeat the old thing? This time is different from last time, even if Liang Shi didn't dare to send troops to intercept it, he also reported it to Jieli. In case Jieli is prepared, the Governor will fight alone, and if the Liang Division joins forces with the Governor again, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”

Luo Tong said proudly: "Liang Shidu is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and he has no time to take care of himself!" How dare you send troops to fight? Even if his whole army goes out of the city, those 30,000 wastes will not be enough for us to charge. Rest assured, this time we are crossing the Baiyu Mountain and sneaking into the Turkic steppe, and we are also unprepared for the surprise. ”

Yanzhou and Shuofang of the Tang Dynasty are connected, and the left and right of the two places are majestic and continuous mountains called Baiyu Mountain, showing a nearly east-west direction, blocking the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Baiyu Mountain is extremely narrow and long from east to west, especially wide from north to south, the mountain is higher, the ridge is gentle and undulating, the south and north slopes are asymmetrical, the south is steep and the north is gentle, the south slope is stronger than the north slope valley cutting, the ground is broken, so that the cliffs are everywhere.

It is also thanks to this Baiyu Mountain that blocks the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will become the backyard of the Turks, and the Turks can come and go freely anytime and anywhere. Here, too, it proves that everything goes both ways. Bai Yu Mountain, as the territory of Tang and Turk, is a natural barrier for the Tang Dynasty to block the Turkic invasion, but it is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to invade the Turks through Bai Yu Mountain.

Shangguan Yi said: "My subordinates don't understand the military, so I don't know about it." But can Bai Yushan really travel through the past? I remember that in the Han Dynasty, someone also proposed to cross Bai Yu Mountain and surprise attack the Xiongnu Khan's court, but in the end it ended because Bai Yu Mountain could not be crossed. ”

Ma Zhou also said: "Bai Yushan has existed in the world for nearly a thousand years. This personnel change, the vicissitudes of life, Bai Yushan is still the same. Since ancient times, I have never heard of any trails and trails in Baiyu Mountain for people to come and go, and let the grass and trees grow wildly and wild beasts run rampant, and it is not easy to run through the north and south, and find a path that can supply the movement of the army. ”

Luo Tong smiled: "Sir, it's too much to worry about, it happened hundreds of years ago, and I can't count it." We don't know, but there is a kind of person who does. ”

Shangguan Yiqi said: "What kind of person?" ”

Luo Tong smiled: "A black businessman who smuggles contraband for the sake of money!" ”

Wang Xuance said: "If this is the case, great things can be done. The road to be able to pass the contraband is not much harder, if not difficult. People can walk, but war horses are estimated to be difficult. ”

"Luo Can has gone once! If you have any questions, ask him. Luo Tong called Luo Can.

Luo Canzuo, who had been listening outside, said: "There is indeed a trail taken by the black merchants, but Lord Wang is too optimistic. It is extremely difficult for Childe to lead the army through. ”

"Why?" Wang Xuance said solemnly

Luo Can said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang doesn't know anything, Bai Yushan is extremely weird. The mountains in the north and south are high, and the mountains in the middle are extremely low, and the middle seems to have been affected by an earthquake, and it has been cracked into several openings, and the ground is like broken glass, and the bedrock is bare, and the rocky cliffs make it extremely difficult to march. It's not easy to want the army to pass through. ”

Luo Tong said in a deep voice: "You don't understand this, the more difficult the environment, the more you can hone the will of the soldiers." The more dangerous it is, the more it can stimulate the potential of the soldiers. "The Art of War" once said that the truth of life after death is born. If the march in a bad environment can trap the soldiers and horses, they will be exhausted. Then this army is hopeless, at least from the current point of view, the border army can still endure hardships and endure hard work. I'm confident in that. ”

Du He frowned and said, "People can pass, what about horses?" ”

Oh, yes! The steppe is endless, it is the home of the cavalry, there are no horses, and it is not easy to send to death if you play raids on the steppe.

Listening to Luo Tong's meaning, this time it is necessary to dispatch the border army gathered in ten thousand three states, which means that they need the cooperation of at least 10,000 war horses, and it is absolutely impossible to transport 10,000 war horses to the corresponding place without the Liang division.

Fang Yiai grinned and said: "The grassland is full of horses, what are you worried about!" Killing people and taking horses is. ”

"It's killing people and taking horses!" Luo Tong smiled and said, "I have been training the special combat team day and night to assassinate the night combat ability, in order to kill people and take horses. ”

The first time was a great success, and when he arrived in Gyeongju, he began to plan a second attack. Looting is not his ultimate goal, it is his intention to feed the fighting side by fighting. As for the harvest, that's incidental. But surprise attacks and surprise attacks are also expensive in a strange word, and Datang is not ready to clash with the Turks on all fronts, and it is impossible for him to lead the uneven border army to fight the Turks to the death. It was impossible for the imperial court to cooperate with him in the army. If you want to win, you still can't do without odd words.

The first time you use odd is unexpected, but the second and third time you want to continue to use odd, the degree of difficulty will increase exponentially. But if the cavalry problem can be solved, the second use of strange tactics will be complete.

"The terrain of Baiyu Mountain is dangerous, no one has traveled for thousands of years, and it is regarded as an insurmountable natural danger by the Turks, and this side is far away from Yanzhou and Lingzhou, even if there is a lesson from the last time, the Turkic tribes who think they are placed in a safe area are still light and unprepared."

"Originally, there were more than thirty tribes here, but with the rise of Yuanhan Fuji, there are only seventeen left." When Luo Tong mentioned Yuanhan Fuji, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes: "Yuanhan Fuji adopted the method of discord, causing the other sixteen tribes to defend their neighbors more than the enemy. The distance between them is hundreds of miles, which gives us a good opportunity to break through nature one by one. ”

"The Yuanhan tribe of Yuanhan Fuji is the largest of them all, and it is also our first choice. There are more than 180,000 warriors in this department, but because he prospered because of Jieli's trust, he used 100,000 elites in this Northern Expedition to Tiele! It will not be difficult for us to take advantage of the opportunity and annihilate it with one enemy and eight enemies. Yuan Han Fuji fought bravely, but his temperament was suspicious, for fear that someone would make trouble behind his back, he transferred the influential generals of the Northern Expedition this time, leaving only eight rookies with 10,000 defenders each sitting in the headquarters, these eight rookies have no right to control the armies, once we launch an attack at night, they will be in chaos. ”

"What about me!" Princess Yaochi saw that everyone had a task, so she sat alone, and suddenly became anxious.

"Waiting at home." This time he wants to cross Baiyu Mountain, Luo Tong doesn't want Yaochi to work hard!

Yao Chi shook his head and said, "I don't want it!" ”

Luo Tong said coldly: "If you don't listen to the order, you will be removed from your position." ”

Yao Chi said: "Withdraw or withdraw, I don't care." My feet grow on me, and I'll follow you when you're gone. ”

Luo Tong had a headache and said, "I'm afraid of you." Take Mingyue and a few of them and follow me! He knew that Yao Chi could do what he said, and instead of letting her wander, he should keep it by his side and watch.

Yao Chi smiled sweetly: "Obey!" ”

Luo Tong glared at her and said meaningfully: "There are some things that should also be resolved." ”
