On the seventh day of November, in the early morning, Chijinkou, the camp of the Alliance's Northern Expeditionary Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before dusk yesterday, all the armies of the Alliance's Northern Expedition arrived at the Chifeng General Camp. The commander-in-chief of the armies thought that the deputy marshal Han Shige was going to convene a military meeting, but he didn't expect to wait until midnight and there was no news, so he thought that there was nothing to do tonight, and he took off his armor and went to sleep.

Han Shige's expression was cold, Sima Yuan'an, the supervising army Murong Zhili, and the military officer Li Mengwei also had a serious face, and the atmosphere in the tent was very solemn. In fact, the three of them were in a very good mood, they had just received an urgent report from Li Fengyun, Luoma City had been captured, the Yaolai Department had been in the bag, the first battle on the right side of the Northern Expedition was won, and then it was the turn of the left side to start the attack, just because they didn't trust the Xi generals, they were worried about leaking secrets, and many secrets could not be declared.

Sima Yuan'an gave the battle order.

After dawn, the Anzhou Army, the Ahui Division, and the Division went north to the Shaolang River to attack the Khitan Yaoran Division. These three armies were led by the commander-in-chief Feng Hong, the deputy of Ahuichuan and the Su Branch, and the superintendent Murong Zhili accompanied him.

Li Fengyun's Xuanfeng army had already surrounded Luoma City, but the heavy responsibility of attacking the fortification had to be handed over to the infantry corps, so after dawn, the chief manager Lu Xingxing would lead the hussar army and the second, third and fourth armies of the alliance to rush to Luoma City.

Then Han Shige pointed to Feng Hong, A Huichuan and the three generals of Su Zhi, and said concisely, "You stay, and the rest disperse." ”

The commanders of the armies came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, and an important military meeting ended hastily, and everyone couldn't help but secretly slander themselves, and they were very dissatisfied with Han Shige's domineering and domineering style.

Murong Zhili invited Feng Hong and the other three generals to the side tent. Han Shige and Yuan An were already waiting. The three generals bowed, and Han Shige nodded slightly in response, looking arrogant and indifferent. Yuan An was polite, smiling, and stretched out his hand to invite the three generals to sit down, while saying, "Let you be the vanguard and go north to attack the Shaolang River, do you have any complaints in your heart?" ”

Ah Huichuan was secretly surprised, and hurriedly stood up and gave a deep salute to Han Shige, Yuan An, and Murong Zhili, and expressed his gratitude to the Grand Alliance Command for fulfilling its promise and helping Ah Hui to attack the Shaolang River. The king is defeated, the weak eat the strong, Ah Huizheng and Ah Hui are defeated, then they can only be slaughtered, how dare they have half a complaint and ask for their own hardships? Taking a step back, even if the command of the Grand Alliance is treacherous and goes back on its word, Ah Hui can only swallow his anger and bow down to his orders, after all, the life and death of tens of thousands of clans are in their hands, as long as they can keep tens of thousands of clans alive, Ah Huichuan and Sanqian are willing to die on the battlefield.

There were complaints about Feng Honghe and Su Zhi, although they had seen Li Fengyun take away the main force of the Ma Army, they had already expected that they would take on the task of selecting a front to attack the Shaolang River in the north, but to their surprise, the headquarters transferred the main force of the infantry corps to the east road to support Li Fengyun in attacking the Yaolai Division, and the remaining infantry corps also stayed in the Chifeng General Camp and did not go north to follow up. That is to say, if the headquarters did not make further arrangements, their three armies would be all the forces that went north to attack the Shaolang River, and the purpose of going north with a partial division was obviously not to defeat the Yaoran Department and sweep both sides of the Shaolang River, but to clamp down on the Yaoran Department and contain the Bulishe and the Xia coalition army on the north bank of the weak Luoshui, so as to win enough time for the main army of the Eastern Road to defeat the Khitan tribes.

In this way, their three armies have more than 10,000 control strings, not only to fight head-on with the Yao Yuan Division, but also to block the Bu Lishe and the Xi Clan coalition army roaring from the north bank of the weak Luoshui, which is very difficult. In the face of the attack of a strong enemy, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even the disaster of total annihilation. This can't help but make people speculate with the greatest malice about the intention of the command, whether it is to kill people with a knife, and to use the enemy's strength to attack and weaken the Xi Ahui Department, the Mukun Department, and the local forces in Anzhou?

Of course, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, even if there are complaints in their hearts, Feng Honghe and Su Zhi do not dare to put it on their lips, after all, whether it is the two surnames of the Han and the Han people in Anzhou, or the tens of thousands of people in the Mukun tribe, they can't control their own fate now, and they can only endure humiliation in order to survive.

Feng Honghe and Su Zhi followed closely behind Ah Huichuan, and they also expressed their determination to obey the orders of the command without the slightest complaint.

"How can there be no complaints? If I were to be in a different position, I would have complaints, and I would be full of grievances. Yuan An smiled, "This obviously has the intention of borrowing a knife to kill, isn't it?" ”

The third general told Yuan An about his thoughts, and he couldn't help but get nervous, not knowing the purpose of Han Shige and Yuan An, and he was uneasy.

"I invite you to come, just to tell you that the command has no such intention, and the reason why the division went north to the Shaolang River and appeared on the Shaolang River battlefield in the guise of the old alliance of the Xi clan is to use you as bait to deliberately deceive the enemy and make the opponent make a miscalculation, and then turn the Shaolang River battlefield into a trap, and lure the Bu Lishe and the Xi alliance army on the north bank of the weak Luoshui into the trap, and it will be all done in one battle, and it will be decided in one battle."

Yuan An paused for a moment when he said this, waiting for Feng Hong, Ah Huichuan and Su Zhi to "digest" a little, and then continued, "Of course, the partial division is used as a bait, and the lone army is deeply penetrated, and it is very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the annihilation of the entire army, and this is what you are worried about. Once the situation is not right and nothing can be done, you will make your own decisions, even if you withdraw to the Chifeng General Battalion, even if you delay the fighter plane, you will not be held responsible. ”

When the three generals heard this, they were surprised and delighted, and at the same time felt a lot of pressure.

This authority is great, this is to ensure the safety of the partial division, so that the three generals have no worries, but at the same time, it also shows that in order to achieve the expected goal, in order to win the trust of the three generals, the command did not hesitate to gamble on the victory or defeat of the northern expedition. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, which makes the three generals have to do their best to achieve the goal of the northward attack, although the headquarters made a promise that even if they fail, they will not be held accountable, but because of this, they bear more pressure, and have to pay a hundred times and a thousand times the effort, otherwise they will live up to the trust and expectations of the command, bury the future of themselves and the tribe, and be shameless.

"No complaints now?" Murong Zhili saw the three generals with a look of surprise on their faces, and asked jokingly.

The three generals were convinced, grateful for the honesty and trust of the high command, and bowed down to thank them.

Yuan An opened the map and swiped his fingers back and forth on both sides of the weak Luoshui, "If the Northern Expedition wants to win the maximum result in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, the best way is to severely damage the enemy's living force, and the only means is to lure the enemy out, lure him into a trap, and encircle and annihilate him. ”

Yuan An looked at the three generals and sighed with a wry smile, "The difficulty of this can be imagined. From the enemy's standpoint, it is certain to go the opposite way and preserve its strength to the greatest extent, and for this reason it must retreat thousands of miles, lure the enemy into depth, patiently look for opportunities to destroy the enemy, patiently wait for the situation to change if it cannot find fighters, and wait for the all-out counterattack of the Turkic army after the beginning of spring. ”

Yuan An pointed to the Tuo Su Chenshui on the map, and then slowly moved eastward, stopping at the downstream of the weak Luoshui, "The Khitan territory is vast, and the eastward attack can catch the enemy by surprise at first, but then the Khitan tribes will definitely flee when they hear the wind, after all, they have already fought with the Xi people, and they are no longer able to fight, so on the battlefield on the east road, there is no condition to lure the enemy to encircle and annihilate." ”

The three generals nodded again and again, deeply agreed.

Yuan An raised his hand to the Shaolang River on the map, drew a circle on the capital of the Yaoyuan tribe in the middle reaches of the Shaolang River, and then moved north, "Wudan City is more than 100 miles away from the weak Luoshui, and crossing the weak Luoshui is the Raole City where the Turkic Songmoya Banner is located." Dozens of miles north from Rao Le City is the Heihe, and on both sides of the Heihe River there are two tribes of Batu and Sutai of the Xi tribe. Three hundred miles north from the Black River is the Wolf River, where there are three tribes of the Polo, Huochi and Black Wolf of the Ha tribe. A few hundred miles further north of the barren land is the Lud Department. ”

From this, it can be seen that the Yaoyuan Department of the Shaolang River, the Songmoya Banner of Raolecheng, and the Batu and Sutai on both sides of the Heihe River are concentrated on the north and south banks of the weak Luoshui, and the distance between them is only more than 100 miles, and the farthest is less than 300 miles. Therefore, on the battlefield on the northern road, we have the conditions to lure the enemy to encircle and annihilate, and the key is that we must lure the Bu Lishe and the Xi clan alliance through the weak Luoshui and lure them into a trap. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan An looked up at the three generals and smiled knowingly, "Without fat bait, how can a big fish take the bait?" ”

The three generals understood it and roughly guessed the strategy of the commandery's northern expedition. Fiction is real, reality is virtual, the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the east with the main force, full attack on the Khitan, persimmon pick up the soft pinch, and with a lone army deep into the Shaolang River, in the north road to make a containment posture, showing the enemy to weak, seems to be a very normal deployment, in fact, hidden killing opportunities, quietly dig traps on the north road, deliberately deceive the enemy, let the opponent make a miscalculation, as long as the enemy is in the middle of the plan, fall into the trap, can hit the opponent hard, so that the Turks of the Songmo Tooth Banner, the Heihe tribe and the Khitan Yaoyuan Department, pay a heavy price, In this way, the alliance command achieved the goal of annihilating the enemy's living forces and achieved the expected goal of the northern expedition.

Of course, the specific way to fight depends on the development of the war situation, and the plan cannot catch up with the changes, so it is impossible for Yuan An to come up with a detailed plan, and there is no point in talking about the war on paper. As for the partial division led by Feng Hong, their task is to do a good job of bait, as for how to dig the trap and when to dig it, that is the matter of the command, a high-level secret, which is also the reason why the supervising army Murong Zhili followed the partial division to the north, and at the critical moment, Murong Zhili's coordination role is very important.

At this time, Han Shige spoke, and his tone was cold, "Do you still have any questions?" ”

Feng Hong hesitated slightly, and said, "What Sima said, can you inform your subordinates as appropriate?" ”

In the military meeting, the high command only issued orders, did not give any explanation of the orders, and as for the specific attack strategy, it did not reveal a word, which is enough to show that the high command does not trust the Xi generals and is worried about leaking secrets. This is completely understandable, but specific things must be treated concretely, this partial division is alone in the depths, and there is a suspicion of being borrowed by the high command to kill people, the army's spirit is unstable, of course, some work must be done, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to lead, and it is easy to have accidents.

Han Shige snorted coldly, looked at the three generals, and asked, "Can you guarantee that your subordinates will not leak secrets to the enemy?" ”

The three generals looked at each other and did not say a word.

Han Shige waved his hand, "After dawn, quickly kill Ben Shaolang River." ”

Murong Zhili and the three generals bowed to promise.
