"You're fast enough." When Gauss arrived at the Yueshi Governor's Mansion with the headquarters of the Southern Advance Corps, Zhang Sheng and Tie Liang had actually only taken the city for two days, and there was a strong bloody atmosphere in the city, and even because they were afraid that too many corpses would cause a plague in the summer, all the bodies killed by the Safar army were gathered outside the city for cremation, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army were cremated separately and left their ashes to be taken back to the Central Plains to be buried in the cemetery of the Martyrs' Memorial Hall. Today, the Tiance Army has been fighting in the south and north for eight years, starting from Fengzhou to the north and south of the river, the desert grassland, nearly 100,000 soldiers have returned to the battlefield, and their ashes have been put in the memorial hall of the five martyrs in the mainland, and their names and heroic spirits will always enjoy the memorial of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"Is there a new mission for the deputy marshal to rush here from the rear in such a hurry?" Zhang Sheng took the civil affairs officials and the National Guard who followed Gauss to take over the affairs of the city, and as Gauss went south to the Wangting Prefecture Governor's Mansion along the way, a battalion also went south with the headquarters as the government affairs and defense affairs were handed over to the Civil Affairs and National Guard. And Tie Liang immediately realized that the mission might be coming again after seeing the returned troops.

"This is the latest information from Xuan Yingwei and the battle situation report from the Northern Front Command." Gauss handed the information and battle report in his hand to Tie Liangdao: "Qarluq has been successfully wiped out, and most of the men and horses on the northern front have arrived at the Samanid border and are ready to enter Genros and other places at the right time. Because the Great Marshal was considering the eastern aid of the Great Food Empire, he instructed us to defeat the main force of the Safarid people as soon as possible, so as to intercept the troops of the Great Food Empire in the Safar territory in the next stage. As for Qinkong's side, it provides the latest developments of the Safarids, most of the army has been assembled in the direction of the Yueshi Governor's Mansion, so we can't stay here, we must use greater strategic actions to contain their direction and mobilize the opponent to annihilate them in the movement. ”

"What the deputy marshal said is extremely true, but we are afraid that the enemy will definitely recapture the Yue Clan Governor's Mansion first, so wouldn't it be meaningless to receive the civil affairs part?" Tie Liang looked around and said with a wry smile: "We know the location and importance of the Yue Clan's Governor's Mansion, and the other party is originally a local, so naturally we understand it better, as soon as we leave, won't we have to withdraw from the civil affairs area." And the most important thing is that the communication channel between us and the rear is the line between the Wangting Prefecture Governor's Mansion and the Yuantang Prefecture, if the Yue's Governor's Mansion is blocked, we can only attack in the southeast and northwest directions, these two directions are not in the same direction as the southwest area of the main Safar region we are attacking. Tie Liang's worry was actually what Gauss Ji was worried about before, the entire southern marching corps was actually not very stable, especially when the north was not completely taken, if the other party had the courage, it might be cut off at any time. It's just that the current Gauss Ji didn't think about this matter at all, and smiled slightly after hearing Tie Liang's worry: "What you said is true, but what I want to say is that the art of war is cloudy, and attacking it will be saved, and now the initiative of the war is in our hands, that is to say, it is no longer up to the Saffar people to consider the logistics channel to attack us, and they should consider where we are fighting in the next step." ”

"What does the deputy marshal mean is that we are going to fight Xiliuzhou?" Tie Liang was originally pouring water for Gauss, but at this time, he put down the cup and said in surprise: "Deputy Marshal Gao Ming, if their kings are attacked by us, then the Safard army has no intention of cutting off our logistics channels at all, but will rush to the aid of Xiliuzhou, and this gives us the best opportunity." ”

"Go and inform Zhang Sheng, we will deploy immediately, this battle will definitely completely defeat the opponent's living force." Gauss took Tie Liang's teacup and instructed the other party to find Zhang Sheng. In order to implement this strategy, Gauss followed the latest batch of ammunition from the logistics team, and after having enough ammunition to replenish the military rations on the spot, the two corps totaled more than 90,000 people and brought 13,000 logistics teams from the Yueshi Governor's Mansion to the south after an hour along the roads of Shuangquanzhou, Lancheng and Boluo Prefecture. The two divisions fought at the same time in five cities that were about 300 miles long from north to south. While the flames of war were rapidly depleting the Saffarid army, the strategic intentions of the Tiance army were quickly exposed to the other side. After the news of the Tiance Army's decisive abandonment of the Yue Clan's Governor's Mansion and its southward movement was sent to the high-level of the Safar Dynasty through the promotion of scouts and the Xuanying Guard's secret guards, in fact, the other party quickly judged that Gauss's intention was Xiliuzhou. In order to contain the pace of the Tiance Army, the Safars did not even care about the safety of these cities north of Boluo Prefecture, and directly transferred all the soldiers and horses near the surrounding Chisan Prefecture to the south to concentrate on the Fengdu Governor's Mansion, and transferred nearly 100,000 elites of the Royal Court Guard and the Imperial Forest Army from Xiliuzhou to the north, and were very prepared to fight to the death between the Fengdu Governor's Mansion and the Tiance Army.

Judging from the deployment of the Safarid people, this is actually not wrong, after all, after gathering almost all the soldiers and horses in the country, the strength of the Fengdu Governor's Mansion will reach an unprecedented more than 300,000, which is more than three times the number of the Southern Advance Corps, and in the face of superior forces, it can indeed infinitely offset the firepower advantage of the Tiance Army, and as long as the main force of the Tiance Army is eliminated, then all the land lost in the north will be regained without pressure. Therefore, in the nearly ten days at the end of June of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the Safard army was desperate to concentrate the main force to the Fengdu Governor's Mansion, and did not care about the siege of the Tiance army at all. However, the Southern Advance Corps led by Gauss did not seem to take the other party into account at all, and allowed the other side to dispatch all the men and horses south, with neither countermeasures nor interception measures. The two sides will never get along with each other even if they meet on a narrow road. On June 30, as the heavy cavalry battalion moved south from the north, Zhang Sheng also led the army to take the important town of Boluo Prefecture, so that the entire complete passage from Bohe Prefecture to Boluo Prefecture was completely opened.

"Inform the officers and men of the whole army to rest for a day, and we will give the Saffar a little time to gather troops." The smile on Gaussji's face made Tie Liang, Zhang Sheng, and a few staff officers present shudder. Sure enough, Gauss beckoned everyone to sit beside him, and asked the guards to bring up a roasted whole sheep to greet everyone while eating, and said: "Actually, the Safarid people are not stupid, but they may not have thought of it, or they still take it for granted until now, that we will still follow their arrangement." But what I want to tell you is that we must find a way to make the opponent revolve around us at any time and in any place, and this is the highest level of the art of war. ”

"I said deputy marshal, I'm so tired that I don't have any ideas now, if you think about it, just say it, I want to eat and sleep now, and tomorrow I will lead the army to attack and beat this group of Safars who don't know the height of the sky and don't know how to obey the king." Tie Liang directly pulled over a leg of mutton when Gauss Ji was talking, and Zhang Sheng, who was sitting next to him, said while eating. During this time, both ordinary soldiers and their high-ranking generals were basically fighting non-stop, and they rarely had time to rest, so Tie Liang sat there eating and muttering without regard to his image.

"The deputy marshal is planning to bypass the Fengdu Governor's Mansion and then attack other places and then attract the other party to divide the army, and we will eat them halfway?" Tie Liang patronized and ate Zhang Sheng had been pondering after Gauss opened his mouth, and then looked up and asked.

"It seems that during this period of time, you have not only won a big victory, but also have a good grasp of fighters and tactical understanding." Gauss Ji smiled slightly and said, "According to the preliminary estimate of the Xuanying Guard, the number of the Safar army is more than three times more than ours. If we fight one-on-one with them, it is a short blow and a long fight, which is not in line with our original intention. What we have to do is still one thing, and that is to fight a sports war. I remember that the emperor said before that the primary purpose of mobile warfare is to mobilize the enemy to constantly divide his forces during the movement, and then to form a local formation of the enemy's strength, so as to achieve the goal of constantly destroying the enemy and changing the ratio of the number of the enemy and us. ”

Gao Siji's words made Zhang Sheng thoughtful, and then said with a smile: "Does the deputy marshal mean that we will lead the army to suddenly go south to bypass the Fengdu Governor's Mansion and then directly attack Xiliuzhou?" ”

"No, Lao Zhang, your method will not work, if you attack Xiliuzhou directly, I am afraid that the other party will not divide the troops, but will directly go south with the whole army, so that the purpose of mobilizing the enemy to divide the troops as mentioned by the deputy marshal will not be achieved." Tie Liang shook his head and said, "I mean to lead the army to attack the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion. I've seen the map, the two important towns in the north of Xiliu Prefecture are the Fengdu Governor's Mansion and the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion, and now the other party occupies the Fengdu Governor's Mansion, and once we attack the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion, it will inevitably cause the other party to miscalculate, we will go south from the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion, so they will definitely divide their troops to rescue the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Wang Ting Guards or the Imperial Forest Army that were previously drawn out from Xiliuzhou will be transferred out and return to Xiliuzhou to standby. In this way, the other party will be directly divided into three. Tie Liang's analysis made Zhang Sheng suddenly realize, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the other party, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have thought about it for a long time, and I am still not as good as you, I will salute you with a glass, and mention me more in the future." ”

"Don't, Lao Zhang, I'm not much better than you. If you have time, you will definitely be better than me if you go to the military academy for half a year. I feel that if you retreat to the Central Plains to rest after the fight this year, you can apply to the General Staff Headquarters, and maybe the emperor will give a lecture if you are lucky. Tie Liang's words made Zhang Sheng yearn for it.

"Okay, from tomorrow you divide your troops and go to the southeast, when the heavy cavalry battalion is ambushed between Xiliuzhou and Shufengdu Governor's Mansion, and the Anxi Corps is responsible for attacking Xiuxiandu Governor's Mansion. Remember, the purpose of the Heavy Cavalry Battalion is to eat the opponent's royal court guards, and Zhang Sheng's task is to take down the Xiuxian Governor's Mansion. Gauss continued: "According to the news from the secret guards, there are about 30,000 defenders in the city, which means that the Anxi Corps needs to be responsible for meeting the troops who are rushing to the aid in addition to attacking the city. Gao Siji's face was a little serious here, and the tasks of the two groups of men and horses he assigned were very heavy, especially the Anxi Corps was facing two battles, and he was afraid that it would be very difficult to fight.

"Deputy marshal, why don't I change with Lao Zhang, the heavy cavalry battalion and the Anxi Corps take different paths, and this kind of battle is not suitable for them." Tie Liang obviously understood what Gao Siji meant, and as soon as he took over the conversation, he heard Zhang Sheng say dissatisfiedly: "I don't like to hear this, although the Anxi Corps is still a temporary corps, but we will definitely complete the task, your heavy cavalry battalion should give us a chance to prove ourselves." ”

"Alright, stop arguing. The task of the heavy cavalry battalion is not small, because after you defeat the army that rushed to aid Xiliuzhou, you need to immediately turn to the defense on the spot, on the one hand, you need to feint to attract most of the troops and horses of the Fengdu Governor's Mansion to the south, and on the other hand, you also need to respond to the Anxi Corps, after all, these two battles are not so much about you dividing your troops to fight, but rather about the two of you attacking together. Gauss pointed to Xiliuzhou and said: "After you finish fighting these two places, you will inevitably usher in the main force of the other party to go south, and Xiliuzhou is our final destination." ”

"Alright, lieutenant, I'll get the job done." Tie Liang was a little helpless, but he also knew that Gao Siji was telling the truth, and the task he faced in Xiliuzhou would definitely not be much lighter than that of the Anxi Corps, so he nodded and said no more.

"Your units immediately replenish their ammunition early tomorrow morning, and the artillery battalion will follow you in two." Gauss nodded.

The Tiance Army's short stay on the side of Boluo Prefecture did not cause the slightest wave, but Qin Kong, who was on the side of Xiliuzhou, set off to the north at this time. He and Gao Siji's thoughts were similar, but he didn't know that Gao Siji had made arrangements at this time, so he was ready to remind Gao Siji when the Safar army assembled to write the Fengdu Governor's Mansion, and brought the latest news for this.

When Qin Kong arrived in Boluo Prefecture, in fact, there was only the headquarters left here that was about to leave for the south, so after Gauss received Qin Kong's information, he said a little differently: "Your news is that the Great Food Empire did not support the Safar Dynasty but ran to the north?" To support Saman? What is the reason for this? ”

"The reason is not clear, but this news is reliable, and at present, the vanguard of the Great Food Empire has set off, and the destination is the north. Maybe they definitely swept us away from the north and then went south to support the Saffarids. Qin Kong said a little uncertainly.

"You arrange for someone to send this information to the headquarters as soon as possible, and remind the marshal to get ready." Gauss Ji nodded and said: "But in this way, it will be much easier for us on the southern front, without the support of the Great Food Empire, the Safarid people will definitely die." ”

"This is the latest information for you on the cities in the southwestern regions of the Safarid Empire." Qin Kong handed the remaining large stack of materials to a staff officer next to him and said with a smile: "There are arrangements for our secret guards and some arrangements for Zarhan. But I think Zarhan should be the most tangled at the moment. He was writing about the front line of the Fengdu Governor's Mansion, and he should have seen the more than 300,000 troops in front of him and felt that we couldn't win, so the Awanda he stayed with me before I left Xiliuzhou avoided me. ”

"Then he'll definitely regret it." Gauss smiled indifferently, and after seeing that the staff officers and personal guards had finished cleaning up, he began to talk to Qin Kong and said, "I originally planned to take more care of him, but now it seems that this number one person in the Northern Mountain Tribal Alliance has no future." ”

"Whether he has anything to do with us or not, why do we still need to see him in the Tang Empire with a barbarian attitude?" Qin Kong sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that there were too few of our own people in this place, they should all be pulled over to build roads and mine." ”

"Okay, let's go quickly, it's too late for us to catch up and see Tie Liang show his might and annihilate their royal court guards on the side of Xiliuzhou." Gauss lifted the reins after getting on his horse, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, and the personal guards behind him followed him to quickly withdraw from Boluo Prefecture and head south.
