They discussed until midnight to form a preliminary plan, Jiang Zhi took it away, and prepared to be discussed by the General Staff and brainstormed, which is the benefit of the General Staff of the Western Army, after all, one person is short and two people are long, and everyone thinks about it together and perfects the plan.

Wei Xi went back to the inner palace to rest, and Tang Tian then asked with a smile: "Lang Jun plans not to fight Frank next year, and is he busy picking up the car?" ”

She didn't see the letter, but she sent a maid to listen to the wall foot and learned the news.

The two have been husband and wife for many years, Wei Xi didn't know what she was thinking, and Zhengrong said to her: "Do you want to fight Frank?" Don't go, it's not for you! ”

Tang Tian said unhappily: "Before the war started, you are not optimistic about me?" ”

"Believe it or not, let's make a bet!" Wei Xi was confident.

"I don't bet with you!" Knowing her husband and wife, Tang Tian knew very well that Wei Xi must have been sure in her heart, and she asked smartly: "Did you get any information?" ”

Wei Xi told the story of "entering and not leaving" in the Franks, and concluded: "The Franks have obtained our information and must be trying to find a way to deal with us, and they have definitely made targeted preparations." ”

Tang Tian pursed his lips and smiled: "Who told you to be greedy for money, let everyone do business, and let them know our details." ”

"Open the door to do business, smile and welcome customers from all over the world, the more everyone understands, the better the business will be!" Wei Xi said disapprerovingly: "Communication starts from the heart, and if we interact more, they will understand our benefits,"

"Relatively speaking, we gain more than we lose!" Wei Xi said triumphantly.

It is money to get real profits.

In the age of ignorance, those who suddenly came into contact with the developed "eating, drinking, and merrymaking" of the Tang people were not shocked!

Many tribes brought people to vote and sold them for a good price!

You can enjoy the rich life of the Tang people, how good!

It has to be said that trade, coupled with cannons and bows and arrows, is very beneficial.

This side is a sabre, that side is a fine wine, as long as it is not too stupid, everyone will know how to choose.

If there is no trade, it is not a good thing to blindly use sabers and bows and arrows.

The Europa people have doubts about Wei Xi, after all, they are all of different races and do not understand the language, but the food and wine are common, and everyone can solve many things by drinking together.

In fact, after many tribes returned to the Tang Dynasty, they were greatly sinicized, which is most clear in the Tuqi Shi people, a whole hundreds of thousands of Tuqi Shi people

……

Jiang Shi was very busy, and before he was going back to Constantinople, he checked the information sent by the scouts.

As the saying goes, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, since I know that the Franks are prepared in advance, how can we not deal with it.

Scouts were sent, they were dressed in camouflage uniforms, and the Franks never dreamed that the Tang scouts would be able to go so far and collect their intelligence in such detail.

The staff officer synthesized the intelligence and reported: "The Franks cut and blocked the roads, destroyed the bridges, abandoned the towns on the border, did not strengthen the fortifications, but transported supplies to the mountains, piled them up, and trained their personnel on the mountains. ”

This is the case in many places, and it seems that the Franks are ready to use the mountains against our army!

Unlike later generations, many parts of Europa during that period were not developed (most of them were developed in Italy), and the place where the Franks were located was called "Gaul" in ancient times, and it was still a very backward place, so there were no good roads, mostly mountainous and hilly, full of forests and trees, and fighting in such terrain was a bad battlefield for cavalry!

The cavalry attack on the Hungarian plateau was almost complete, and further west, there was the mountainous terrain, which was not conducive to cavalry maneuvering.

In fact, the Mongols in another parallel space marched west to Western Europe, which also caused great trouble, and the cavalry entered the mountains, and the speed plummeted, and the power could not be revealed.

Infantry engagement, the opponent's close combat and heavy weapons, it is easy to cause heavy casualties on the side.

Looking at the map, Jiang Zhi fell into deep thought.

The other party has carried out an arc defense to the east, it is not easy to bypass them, to be honest, the Tang army occupies not many places in Europa, and has fallen into a place of four wars, the center of flowering is cool, but it is also troublesome if the enemy attacks together, the army has not been able to break the road to the Franks, and the Frankish kingdom can only use the place of "Bavaria" to pass!

Perhaps, three years to solve Frank is still too radical!

He and his staff officers conducted a war game and came to a conclusion.

So before leaving, Jiang Zhi went to Wei Xi and took out a map to show him.

"We have occupied two territories (referring to the Avar Khanate, the Bolgar Khanate in Romania and Hungary) and here (the hand refers to Byzantium, i.e. the Greek region), and further west, if we really win the Frankish kingdom, we will become a long snake formation, and the soldiers will be taboo!"

"In the event that the Europa besiege us together, I dare say that our army of 300,000 is likely to be wiped out!"

"Especially when entering the Frankish region, mountains, hills, forests, etc., where it is very cut off from the return of our army, it is not easy to attack, the other side is blocking every step, it is not easy to fight after entering, our cavalry is useless, it is not easy to retreat, the other party is coming to block again, and we can't hold it, because we can't get support, the other party hides in the mountains, who are you looking for? They can constantly attack us, and our supplies are not easy, unlike here, where we have grassland horses, and when the other side comes to attack, it is to send us to death, even if there is no support in the rear, we can still fight. ”

Jiang Zhi gushed endlessly.

"What do you want to say?" Wei Xi asked quietly.

"I think we solved Frank in the first two or three years too idealistic, and even if we did, it would have caused us big trouble, we lost our mobility and fell into infantry combat, then we don't have many lives to fill, although we can use cannon fodder, but don't expect too much, they will be on our side when we win, and they will definitely betray us in adversity!" Jiang Zhi agreed.

"Do you have any ideas for that?" Wei Xi asked.

"To the east!"

"To the east?"

"Yes, to the east!" Jiang Zhi pointed out: "To the east, is the 'Ukrainian steppe' mentioned by His Highness, which belongs to part of the 'Eurasian steppe', where the steppe area is vast, which can give us a huge room for maneuver, we go east, occupy that steppe, and control the Black Sea, connect with Constantinople, give full play to the power of our gunboats, we are in an invincible position!" ”

"With the prairie, we have a steady stream of horses to fight, we have enough meat and cheese as military rations, and the East no longer needs to transport grain, only military materials to reduce the logistical burden!"

"We retract our fists and accumulate strength for a better westward expedition, I think this is the most suitable strategy for our army's attack!"

"Of course, according to His Highness's teachings of doing something and not doing something, our main force will go east, attack and harass the Quartet with partial divisions, and try to break the road to Franks!"

He said a lot of things, and he was also a little nervous, after all, Wei Xi and his army colleagues wanted to solve the Franks as soon as possible and march east to Ukraine, breaking everyone's wishful thinking.

So having a good leader is different, Wei Xi nodded again and again: "The staff is very thoughtful!" ”
