Section 37 Intelligence and Decision-making (4)

The guards outside the tent kept moving in the night wind, but the tent was almost silent, Luo Kaixian was expecting his subordinates to come up with some practical solutions, not asking for any surprises, but being careful and practical.

The rest of the people sitting around were completely different from the ease and ease of Luo Kaixian, the main general, Gonzas, Alker, and Sidrknord were all engrossed in meditation, including Olki and Nuralman.

They are all people who have followed this general of Seris since Athens, and when they were able to be selected, there were no stupid people, and they all understood in their hearts that in the land of the East, their own general was the only master who could rely on in the future. And now, since the Lord has made it clear, no one wants to make it an immature plan to speak easily, which may disappoint the Lord of their own family......

Faced with this situation, Luo Kaixian did not urge, but just asked the guards on duty to bring milk wine, dried meat, roasted naan and fruits, etc., while filling the hungry stomach in the middle of the night, while waiting for the expected result.

He is not anxious at all, compared to the high-intensity war he has experienced by minutes and seconds, the rhythm of war in this era is extremely crude in his eyes, although cold weapon war is not his best, but the war along the way is enough for him to thoroughly understand the trivialities, coupled with the cavalry and combat skills he picked up again and become more and more sophisticated, he feels that he can face any battlefield in this era calmly.

Calmly twisting the dried meat in the copper plate, taking a sip of mellow milk wine, watching the few tough guys in front of him dig out the sheepskin book they put in their robes, clumsily holding the charcoal pen to write and draw, Luo Kaixian felt like a classroom teacher invigilating primary school students.

The idea was kind of funny, but he liked the atmosphere - whether or not these guys with more muscles than brains could come up with a good plan, it was enough to have this kind of seriousness.

As the minutes passed, I don't know how long it took, and several people began to stop writing and raised their heads one after another.

"Got it all figured? Who's going to talk first...... Gonzas, come first! Looking at everyone's expressions, Luo Kaixian didn't wait for them to recommend themselves, and directly began to roll call, just because he also needed to understand everyone's thoughts.

Gonzhas is a brave character, and he is not polite when he hears the words, and he speaks directly: "General, I suggest that the cavalry battalion and the ballista battalion be directly mobilized, plus two thousand garrison battalion soldiers, and directly besiege Xingzhou City to the north......"

Luo Kaixian asked noncommittally: "Xingzhou is surrounded by city walls, are you going to attack the city with cavalry?" The small stones of the ballista battalion could not break the walls. ”

"No, Lord." Faced with Luo's wooden face, Gonzas, who had long been immune, did not have a weak heart, but continued calmly: "My idea is to drive the surrounding small tribes to do the precursor, at least enough people to gather more than 10,000 people, so that they can attack the city......"

"What if those small tribes are disobedient and instead collude with the Xingzhou Ma clan to attack us together?" Luo Kaixian did not express his opinion, but said along the lines of Gonzas's thoughts.

"We can give them a promise to allow them to loot for three days on the day the city is broken! Those people of small tribes are usually herdsmen, and they are horse bandits when they pick up knives, and they will never give up this opportunity! Gonzas's eyes widened as he spoke, comparable to a white furry bear.

Luo Kaixian shook his head slightly, he knew about Gonzas's method of warfare, the Romans used this method when they fought with the Arabs, and there were many similar records in the history of the Eastern War, but it did not conform to his idea, "Gonzas's idea should be the practice of the Romans, right?" This method is indeed feasible, and it is very likely to attack Xingzhou City quickly......"

Gonzas's face glistened with joy.

Luo Kaixian continued: "But there are a few problems here, you have to think about it carefully, first, we are still pure outsiders here in Lingzhou, the local residents are not familiar with us, and we are not clear about their relationship with the Ma family in Xingzhou, as long as there is any omission in the middle, the loss may be the lives of the soldiers; Second, we are going to settle here in Lingzhou, and in the future, Xingzhou will definitely be a place under our control, and the people there will also become the people under our control, and if we attack Xingzhou City as you said, it will definitely be because of the casualties of unrelated people, and the accumulated resentment will affect the future rule...... Gonzhas, do you understand? ”

"General, as long as the war is strong, no one dares to disobey, the Romans rarely show mercy to foreigners, but their kingdom has been followed for thousands of years......" Gonzhas was not an unassertive person, and Luo Kaixian's words did not make him give up his thoughts.

A few people next to him were listening attentively, and at the same time thinking about how to refine their ideas.

"You're right!" Luo Kai first affirmed Gonzas's statement, and then without waiting for Gonzas to come to his senses, he followed up and said: "But what does the current Rome have to do with the Rome of a thousand years ago? For more than a thousand years, the war has never been stopped, how many people have died in such a long time? Caesar and Clark were constantly suppressing the rebels, and now Basil II is also suppressing the rebels! As a monarch, if you can't give your people a stable life, that is failure...... Gonzhas, would you want to wait until the day you are old and still worry about your young son fighting the battlefield? ”

“…… Oh no! Gonzhas was stunned for a long time with his mouth open before he spat out such a word.

The content span of Lao Luo's words is a bit large, but the smooth intonation and the use of some Latin are not difficult to understand for the guy who was born as a gladiator in the tent.

Most of them got to this point because of the defeat in the battle with the Romans plus a series of setbacks, whether it was Gonzas, Alc, or Sideknord and Olki, everyone had very complicated ideas about Rome, and once was.

It was quiet inside the tent.

But the thoughts in everyone's head are spinning constantly.

Except for the young Nuralman, who kept writing and drawing on paper, everyone here can be said to be good warriors, they are not afraid of whether the enemy is strong or not, and some do not even care about their own life and death, but all of them hope to have a warm and peaceful home in the future, they may expect their children to be brave people, but they never want to see the corpses of their descendants when they are alive.

It's human nature.

"Thirdly, the monkey said that there are three forces in Xingzhou City, the Ma Clan, the Wang Clan, and the Cao Clan, and they must fight each other, and Gonzas, if you try to besiege Xingzhou City like this, they will definitely unite against us-Obviously, this is also inappropriate, right? Fourth...... Forget it, that's all, you know what I mean, Gonzas? Although there are still fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, Luo Kaixian has too many thoughts in his heart, but he doesn't want to continue, firstly because it is unnecessary, and secondly, because it is a bit esoteric for these battlefield masters in front of him.

"Understood, Lord!" Those who come from the military are the best at this, the line between right and wrong is very clear, there is no room for ambiguity, and Gonza calmly admits his omission.

"Well, the next ......" Luo Kai nodded at Gonzas, then turned his head to look at the other three, "Alck, you come on!" ”

"Obey, Lord!" In response, Alke paused for a moment and said: "To deal with the Xingzhou Ma family, maybe we don't need to send troops directly, in the past ten days, the people sent to the north have sent back a lot of news, in recent years, because of the competition for grazing pastures, those small tribes and the Ma family often fight, and there is also news that because of the matter of the Green Sect, the Xingzhou Wang family and the Cao family and the Ma family are also fighting constantly......

Compared to Gonzas's straightforward temper, in terms of words and sentences, Alg is much more thoughtful, after all, a scout can't be careless.

"Well, Alke, you go on!" Luo Kaixian nodded thoughtfully.

Alke had a hand in his words, but he couldn't figure out what Luo was thinking, so he could only continue stubbornly, "There is a proverb in my hometown that a pack of wild dogs that are about to starve to death can bite a beast to death. I think...... Can you give those small tribes some weapons and ask them to attack the Ma family, as long as the Ma family is a little weak, the Wang family and the Cao family will never give up the opportunity...... At that time, there will be nothing to be done by the party department...... Then, when spring comes, our men will be integrated, and we can send troops to maintain order in Xingzhou......"

Looking at the deliberately smeared white circles on Alke's face, Luo Kaixian really didn't expect this guy to have such a bad idea. That's right, Alke thought of a sinister tactic, this Alke only talked about encouraging the small tribes in the north to attack the Ma family, and Lao Luo thought of a word - proxy war, which was often used by the hypocrite countries of the USA and Europa in later generations.

This kind of practice of just consuming a little material and easily solving the trouble is indeed very suitable for the current situation, but it is not necessarily the best, and there are countless drawbacks and hidden dangers.

Not ready to ask other people's opinions, Luo Kai cleared his throat first and commented directly: "It's a good way!" But, Alc, have you ever thought that once those small tribes survive the battle with the Ma family, they will continue to listen to us? Many of those small tribes come from the northern steppes, and the wolves of the steppes are ...... But I can't feed it,"

Indeed, in later generations, there were many proxy wars, but there were more than one or two cases of agents dragging the employers behind them, and the USA, which had the most powerful force, was pulled into the quagmire more than once.

Although it is only a small situation at the moment, the team that has returned from the east is not still a big force.

In other words, you can't afford to toss.

Therefore, it is easy to do it behind the scenes, but compared to the hidden dangers and troubles later, it is not as good as doing it yourself.

"General, I understand." Alker, a clever man, apparently figured it out right away.

In addition, Siddenk Nord and Min Wenhou, who had not yet expressed their opinions, looked down, and then closed the parchment book in their hands, they also thought about it for a long time, but with the previous speeches of Gonzhas and Alke, as well as the summary of Luo Kaixian, the general, the plan in their hearts could not be spoken.

The most critical question is, how to deal with the Ma family in Xingzhou?
