Chapter 129: A thorn in the eye

The day after Li Tianhao and his army entered Basarady, he convened a military meeting attended by the senior generals of the Palchi army, including the Arubanian generals Arufa, Aphenos, Mapusul, Myrtis, and the Cheka. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The meeting adhered to the tradition of the Palci military conference, with the war of words between Aram and Senas as the prelude, and the arrival of Li Tianhao as the prelude. With the exception of Arufa and Cheka, the other three Arubanian strikers were clearly accustomed to this opening format.

After everyone was seated, Li Tianhao was the first to speak: "Everyone, let me first explain the current situation. At present, the area under the control of our army includes most of the southern part of Arubania, all of the southeastern coast, and most of the area around the city of Basratia, while the northern and western parts are not yet controlled. The current situation is that the northern region of Arubania is in a relatively empty state, and it is not very difficult to take this land, but the power of the Paz Empire may take the opportunity to reach out to this land. Now that our country has reached an alliance agreement with the Paz Empire, once our army is stationed in these areas, it will be difficult for the Path Army to make any more moves. News of our capture of Basradic will soon reach the Paz Empire, so we must get ahead of the curve before they can do anything about it. Let's take a look at the western part of Arubania, where the forces under the command of Prince Gilmus of Yaki are currently recruiting, and although their original goal was to rush to the aid of Basradi, once they learn that Basradic is under our control, they are likely to retreat to the area around Barud Fortress and use it as a base to continue their confrontation with our army. In view of this, the most important response of our army at present is to force them to continue to retreat, compress their living space as much as possible, and at the same time ensure the connection between our army and the main forces in the south, so as to complete the strategic encirclement of this enemy. I'd like to hear from you on both of these things. ”

As soon as Li Tianhao's words fell, Alam spoke: "The matter of sweeping the north can be completed with only a small number of troops, and our main force should go to deal with Gilmus, as the main force of the main force, I ask to be the first to attack it as a vanguard!" ”

Senas snorted and said, "Alam, you said the same as if you didn't say it, who doesn't know that the west is the point?" What the prince wants to ask is the specific details. Besides, when did you become the main force of the main force? ”

"Who says I didn't go into details? I said that I must belong to the western direction of operations. Alam's pale rebuttal does not hide the weakness of his lack of strategic analytical insight.

Eglius used his calm voice to pull the main tone of the meeting back: "Now the question is who will go west, who will go north, and who will stay. According to my own suggestion, the north is mainly to subdue the hearts of the people, so it is better to choose one of the generals of Arubania to be the commander, and the prince will naturally stay behind in Basrady, and the Lord Senas, Lord Alam and his subordinates will lead the army to the crusade against the headquarters of Gilmus. ”

After Eglius finished speaking, everyone fell silent. In fact, Eglius's suggestion is the most pertinent, and there is no more appropriate proposal for objections.

Li Tianhao tapped his head lightly with his fingers on the seat, and said lightly: "I think that if you three are tied together and thrown on the battlefield, you will fight first." ”

"Boss, what do you mean by that? When did we delay the military because of nonsense? Hearing this, Alam immediately retorted that his ability to react in this regard was clearly much stronger than his ability to strategize.

Senas also stood on Alam's side and said, "The purpose of your words is nothing more than to lead the troops yourself, don't put the blame on us, it's a despicable act to do so." ”

Li Tianhao was hit by the two of them, and couldn't help blushing, and said, "Even if I do this, it's because the usual performance of the two of you is too unsettling." Originally, I thought that Eglius would lead the troops alone, but then you two would have to make trouble with me, so I would have to lead the troops. ”

"And who will Basradis leave behind?" Alam asked.

Li Tianhao glanced at Arufa with his eyes and said, "I want to ask Lord Arufa to stay in Basarady, and Master Myrtis as his deputy, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

As soon as Li Tianhao said this, everyone was shocked. Although Martis surrendered to Li Tianhao, he demanded that he never fight with his fellow Arubanian compatriots as a precondition, and Arufa had just surrendered to a military general who had only been subdued for a day, no matter how he said that using these two people as a guard could not be completely reassuring.

Arufa looked at Li Tianhao hesitantly and said, "Your Excellency?????? I ??????"

"You did a good job before I got into Basare, so I'm sure you can do well. Unless you are unhappy with my appointment, please speak up. Li Tianhao said with a smile.

"I just surrendered to His Highness and ??????"

"By accepting your submission, I show that I believe in your loyalty. It is true that in the eyes of others, you are a monarch killer, but I know that you are an honorary military general like Ling Zun, and if it were not a last resort, you would not do this, am I wrong? ”

"I will do my best to fulfill His Royal Highness's commission!" Arufa stood up and bowed deeply.

"Good." Li Tianhao turned his gaze to Myrtis again: "Lord Myrtis, I remember that you are reluctant to add swords with your compatriots, although Gilmus is a Yaqui, a considerable part of his subordinates are Arubaneians, so this time I will leave you in Basrady." The next time I have something to do, I will look forward to seeing what you do. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." Myrtis nodded in his seat.

Li Tianhao said again: "Then the northern strategy will be handed over to Lord Afenos and Lord Cheka, and it should be enough for you to give you 30,000 soldiers, right?" ”

"Your Highness's orders are respectfully followed." Afinos and Cheka said in unison.

"Okay, then the sea contact work will be handed over to Lord Mapsul, let Lord Elda prepare, especially for the transportation of necessary materials in the city of Basra, we have plundered a lot of Arubania grain stocks before, and now it is time to return it to the people, we must not let the people of Basradia have a shortage of materials, otherwise it will be difficult for Lord Arufa to maintain stability." Li Tianhao said.

"Yes." Mapsul replied.

Li Tianhao nodded with a smile and said, "The rest of you will all set off with me to conquer Gilmus!" So let's talk about the next topic, how to deal with the Gilmus Army. ”
