Chapter 510: Wang Qing's strategy
Luo Daodao: "Now we in Longxi, there are only 20,000 light horsemen, plus the 2,000 brought back by Wang Qing, it is only 22,000, if we start a war with the Qiang people, we have to make some preparations." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Wang Buchao sighed: "Alas, these Qiang people have been in trouble for many years, and if we want to live a peaceful life, we must destroy them, otherwise we will never be at peace." β
"It's just that these Qiang people, there are no cities, no dangers, not even houses, they can withdraw at any time, they can come back at any time, unrestrained, thousands of miles away, how can we defend it? Do you want to kill all the Qiang? β
"It's not impossible, but..."
The people were amazed, and they all killed? Haven't you wanted to? That's millions of people, such a massacre, I'm afraid it's angry and resentful.
Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "Yue... Old general, I know that you hate the Qiang people, but such a large-scale hunt is not a good strategy, and it will not be good for future rule. β
At this time, Wang Qing stood up and said, "Lord, I have a way, maybe I can try it, but... It's just a bit of a hassle. β
"What's your plan?" Luo Yi asked.
Everyone looked at Niu Qing.
Those who looked down on Niu Qing were all muttering in their hearts at this time, with a look of contempt on their faces.
Wang Qing didn't care about anything else, and replied: "It's such a lord, we can divide the territory of the Qiang people into dozens of areas, let's assume that each area is a county, and after conquering it, let people build towns on the spot, and use wood and soil to pile up earthen cities, which is conducive to our defense." If this continues, within two years, the Qiang tribe will definitely be. β
"Hmph, build a town? Aren't you too troublesome? A lieutenant said with a sneer.
Sun Yu said: "This has to consume a lot of resources, manpower, material resources, and there is very little wood on the grassland, without wood, how to build a city?" β
Wang Qing said: "There is no timber, it can be transported from Longxi, there is no bricks and tiles, it can also be transported, pacifying Xiqiang, it is a great cause for a thousand years, how can it be child's play, if you don't build a town, how to defend it in the future?" β
Wang Qing actually retorted very sharply!
This scene feels very unnatural in the eyes of everyone, Sun Yu is a general, and Wang Qing is now a small general at most, where did he get the courage, could it be that when he came back from Yanmen Pass, there was no one in his eyes?
Luo Yi was also stunned, Wang Qing's transformation made him a little unnatural.
In the lobby, because of Wang Qing's suggestion, there was a direct quarrel, many disagreed, and some agreed, divided into two factions.
Luo Yi was silent for a while, pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Wang Qing, you talk carefully." β
"Yes."
Wang Qing arched his hand and said: "Actually, this strategy, I have already thought about it when I was in Yanmen Pass, and after these days of improvement, it has been very mature, and the last general feels that it can be implemented, and it is the most effective way to attack the Qiang people." β
"The land of Xiqiang is about 2,000 miles in radius, most of which are grasslands, and there are few peaks, and even if there are, they are all snow-capped mountains, which do not melt all year round; We can divide the land of these two thousand miles into twenty counties, and after conquering one county, we can immediately build a city and prepare for defense... β
Wang Qing crackled and said a lot, and from his words, it can be seen that he has worked hard and really thought about it seriously. Moreover, this strategy is really very mature, and even some specific data have been analyzed. What surprised Luo Yi the most was that Wang Qing also calculated how much manpower and material resources needed to be consumed to do so, and the benefits and losses were clear.
Luo Yi kept asking himself, what did Wang Qing do before? Is it really just a country hustler? How does it feel like a veteran general who has fought for decades?
Looking at Sun Yu and Zhao Yong again, although the two are strong in martial arts, Luo Yi felt that he valued Wang Qing more after listening to Wang Qing's remarks.
Everyone in the hall was stunned and fell silent.
After pondering, Luo Yi said: "According to what you said, if you want to attack Xiqiang, there must be at least 100,000 people!" Among them, 30,000 are the main force, the main force that attacks the enemy everywhere, and the second part, for the soldiers stationed in various places to build cities, there must be at least tens of thousands, and then there must be young men who are responsible for transporting various resources for building cities. β
"This is indeed a big siege..."
Luo Yi hesitated. Judging from the strength of Longxi now, if you want to march like Wang Qing and fight a battle, I am afraid that your vitality will be greatly damaged.
Sun Yu and the others didn't speak, and in their hearts, they also felt that the plan was feasible, but for the sake of face, they were silent. Wang Buchao smiled: "Okay, this is a good strategy, although it is a little troublesome, but it is the way to win." β
Luo Yi looked at everyone, and the expression on his face was obvious.
Zhang Wancheng saw the clue and said: "My lord, if my lord agrees, I will ask the officials of the Department of the Interior to calculate the cost of the cost, and then report it to the lord for decision." β
"What does General Luo think?" Luo Yi asked.
Of course, Luo Tong will not object, he is worried that he will not be able to conquer Xiqiang with 20,000 iron horses, and if he has a helper, of course he is willing.
With Luo Yi's approval, Luo Yi smiled and said, "Okay, then adopt Wang Qing's suggestion!" β

Wang Qing was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Thank you, lord." β
"Lord, the last general asks for orders and leads the troops to go out with General Luo!"
He looked at Luo Yi with confidence and expectation.
Seeing this, Sun Yu and Zhao Yong said in their hearts, how can this kind of credit be robbed by just one Wang Qing?
The two quickly stepped forward.
Sun Yu said: "Lord, let the last general go." β
Zhao Yong said: "My lord, the last general also asks for battle." β
Following the two, the generals of Longxi all stood up one after another.
At this moment, no one questioned the plan anymore, and all they were thinking about was how to pull the credit over. With Luo Tong to fight the front war, they only need to garrison and build the city, although it is fortunate, but it is a free gift, and it is safe.
"Since Wang Qing mentioned it first, then leave this matter to Wang Qing."
Luo Yi's words disappointed everyone's expectations.
Wang Qingxi said: "Thank you, my lord, the last general will help General Luo and pacify Xiqiang." β
After discussing for a while, Luo Yi said: "Zhang Wancheng, you give the order to go down and post a notice to recruit 30,000 young people to be on call at any time; Half a month later, General Luo led 20,000 cavalry out of Yanmen Pass and went to Xiqiang, Wang Qing led 30,000 foot soldiers to accompany him, Sun Yu and Zhao Yong, responsible for leading the 30,000 young men to escort various materials. β
"No."
The crowd replied aloud.
However, in this voice, there are some people who are happy and some who are sad. Especially Sun Yu and Zhao Yong, the two of them feel completely loveless, they are more capable than Wang Qing, but they are not as important as Wang Qing, when they first took refuge in Luo Yi, they were completely treated as two people, they went to Xiqiang to garrison, and they could only escort supplies.
