Chapter 394 is interspersed in the east and west siege

After waiting for Yue Yiliang to plant the flags on the sand table almost, everyone had a clear understanding of the situation in the northwest provinces, and then Yang Dongfang asked him to introduce the climate and geographical conditions of various places, so that all the participants should have a clear understanding of the entire northwest road conditions, mountains and rivers, and should keep them in mind, for which manuals and maps were also distributed.

"Everyone, now you can talk about your own opinions, how to fight this war in the northwest, how to fight it to end as quickly as possible, and how to fight the best way to save money and effort and reduce losses."

"Your Majesty, the main forces of the white bandits and the Hui bandits are in Gansu, and they should smash Huanglong Lanzhou with heavy fists and smash Bai Yanhu's base, as long as Bai Yanhu is killed, the forces in the northwest will become a plate of scattered sand, and they will not be able to form a joint force."

"Your Majesty! The minister felt that he should first clear the white bandit army in Shanxi, liberate Shuozhou and Datong, cooperate with the northern theater, liberate Xuanhua Mansion, and take Zhangjiakou, which entered the grassland.

In this way, the Mongolian feudal domain can be obtained, first collect the Mongolian domain, show sincerity, move it to coerce the Mongolian tribes to annex with white bandits, and then send a partial army to lead the Mongolian tribes to recapture Wuhai and attack Ningxia from the north.

Regain Ningxia Prefecture, attack Lanzhou in the north and south, and gather and annihilate the white bandits, preventing them from escaping. ”

Someone stood up and retorted: "This plan seems to be very good, but in fact it is not appropriate, from Mongolia to the detour of the division attack, the contact is not through, can not be synchronized, and the time is very long, and the white bandits see that the situation is not good, they can all return to Gansu from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia, and finally retreat to Xining after defeat. ”

Soon all the ministries will speak freely and express their opinions, you comment on mine, I will replace your loopholes, in short, Yang Dongfang is not very satisfied, because all the decisions and plans add up to the summary, and he is excluded, that is, everyone wants him to sit in Xi'an and stay in the rear.

"It seems that everyone has changed me into your logistics and grass escort officer."

"Don't dare! Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else, and this is for the sake of the Empire. ”

"You are soldiers, you should straighten my body, show the demeanor of a soldier at all times, and you should not grovel." Yang Dongfang looked at their sincere and frightened appearances, was very unhappy, and waved his hand to let them stand back:

"Although I am very pleased that you think about me like this, this is not what I want, what I want is to end the turmoil in the northwest as soon as possible, restore the stability of the people, and consolidate the frontier."

"I have a northwest policy here, you listen to it first!" Yang Dongfang took the indicator pole and walked to the sand table, pointed to the position of Ningxia and said: "First kill Ma Hualong, the first major force other than Bai Yanhu, liberate the richest Jiangnan."

Along the line of Yanchi, Dingbian, Jingbian, and Suide, the area occupied by the white bandits was cut off, and the eastern and western armies were divided.

Second, at the same time, let the Northwest Independent Regiment attack Tianshui, advance to Dingxi, and make the appearance of killing Lanzhou directly, attracting the attention and energy of the white bandits and the bandits in the northwest. It made a large number of troops on the front line of Lanzhou, and did not dare to aid the east.

Third, the northern theater will attack Zhangjiakou out of the Great Wall and Datong in the south; The troops of Jinzhong will also attack Shuozhou at the same time, attack Datong in the east, and liberate the whole of Shanxi, so that the white bandits in the east can only be eliminated or surrendered, or they will flow to Mongolia. ”

After listening to the third article, everyone couldn't help but secretly say, Your Majesty is so ruthless! If these princes and nobles do not quickly attach, the cavalry can drive the white bandits to their borders and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Mongol tribes.

"Of course, the white bandits in the east are not what we really care about, and what we really need to eliminate, or even completely exterminate, are the white bandits in the west and those stubborn and radical sectarian bandits.

"Therefore, Article 4 takes into account that the white bandits are cavalry, and the Hui bandits are mainly strongholds, and the cavalry departments of our army will penetrate Gansu to pursue the white bandits and divide the connection between the bandits in Gansu.

The infantry then followed the fixed points to eliminate the bandit strongholds, killing all their people, destroying their houses, and urging all the temples except Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in all areas of resistance.

I hope that these places can be planted with trees in the future, and the mountains will be closed for forestation, so that there is no need for too many people to harm the water and soil and destroy the feng shui.

Fifth, I will personally lead a blitzkrieg attack on Suzhou, fight back from the northwest to the southeast to the back of Xining, and finally encircle and annihilate all the white bandits and Hui bandits in Xining.

For this reason, I named this plan the Eastern Siege and the Western Siege, interspersed with large regiments. After speaking, he threw away the command pole, walked back to the position of the center, and said to the generals who were thinking: "Listen to the order!" From now on, I want to go to the emperor's mausoleum to pay respects, and I must publicize it, and at the same time, the war in the southern theater of our Chinese emperor will expand, and I will not be able to look westward, and the commander of the western theater will be Ge Hui for the time being, and I will vigorously promote it to the west.

At today's meeting, no one is allowed to disclose it, otherwise they will be punished for treason. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Soon the emperor was going to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum, the war in the south was tense, and the news that the western theater was mainly defense-oriented, and the news of stepping up the training of soldiers spread throughout the northwestern provinces.

Lanzhou's Bai Yanhu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Yang Dongfang would definitely clean up next, but now it seems that he has been delayed by the war in the south, and the troops newly transferred to Shaanxi are not his descendants, and the whole training will take some time, guessing that this attack will be postponed until tomorrow spring and summer.

Because the northwest saw that winter was about to begin, this war would take a long time as soon as it was fought, and it was cold in the northwest, and these soldiers from the south might not be able to stand it.

He can use this time to consolidate his territory, eradicate dissidents, and annex other tribes.

Secretly, Yang Dongfang flew to Fenyang, and then entered the Luliang area, with a small team of elite soldiers, riding horses day and night, three or four hundred miles of daily speed to hurry, through Suide, Jingbian, Dingbian, Yanchi, and finally into Lingzhou (Wuzhong) in Ningxia Prefecture, and then went north to Fucheng, only five days before and after, and then appreciated the customs and customs of the northwest region.

Generally speaking, the area was not peaceful, the people were panicked, commerce was sluggish, and there were many murderers and looters, and they alone killed five or six blind bandits and horse bandits and two white bandit armies that robbed homes and houses.

After resting in Fucheng for a day, he flew to Lingzhou, turned south and went to Zhongning Hall, only then did he begin to show his fangs and return to Shaanxi to pick up 2,000 people to raid Zhongning Hall.

Controlling this key point of transportation, Ningxia Prefecture and Lanzhou were cut off, and then they went west to Zhongwei County and also brought a regiment of 2,000 from Shaanxi, raided and took it, and cut off the connection between Suzhou.

After getting here, Yang Dongfang went back to Zhongning Hall, originally wanted to continue to move troops here to do delivery, and after ten days and eight days in the expansion of the surroundings, go back to Shaanxi to transport a large corps to Ningxia Fucheng to get Ma Hualong, but halfway through, a fast horse in front of him chased to report the news, and just happened to meet.

"Your Majesty! There was an accident in the Zhongning Hall, and there were bandits in the area under the jurisdiction of the hall who killed the guards and ran to Hongsi Fort after escaping, and Zhang led his troops to kill Hongsi Fort directly. ”

"What? Damn, didn't you be careful again and again, and don't be careless when you return to the bandits? I can't even look at Zhongning Hall. Hearing this news, Yang Dongfang was so angry that he cursed, after the bandits of Hongsi Fort knew the news, they would definitely arouse the vigilance of other white bandits.

He hurriedly led people to Zhongning Hall, but when he walked a few miles, he stopped again, and then patted his horse and said, "Let's go, let's go south to Tongxin County!" I hope that the bandits of Hongsi Fort will notify Ma Hualong as soon as possible. ”
