Zabkhan River, Hu Gongying Tent. Time, May 1, 1003.

"Marshal, there is definitely a master among the rebels of the Yue Clan, otherwise it would be impossible to lay out such a big game of chess!" Zhuge Yun said in a deep voice. There was nervousness in the words, but more excitement than that.

In his lifetime, being able to encounter such a big battle that is destined to go down in history will definitely make any young Han person's blood boil! Zhuge Yun is still young, of course he is excited about it!

However, Hu Gong sneered again and again, looked at the location of the enemy that had been detected on the sand table, and said, "Sure enough, it's a big game of chess!" actually used the old man as a chess piece, hum, I'm afraid that his teeth are not so good, and if he can't eat, he will break his mouthful of teeth! ”

All the staff officers, including Zhuge Yun, smiled, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

The young people in front of the meeting were all smiling, and Hu Gong was a little relieved in his heart, and said secretly: "Fortunately, the military heart is still usable." ”

In fact, Hu Gong's heart is not as relaxed as it seems on the outside. After receiving the request for help from the Third Army, Hu Gong immediately sent a brigade of the Flying Cavalry Guard Division to support, and at the same time ordered the middle division to expand the reconnaissance area by 300 li, and be sure to explore the entire area around the Zabkhan River. Within two days, the reconnaissance and the various units supporting the Third Army Corps had compiled the situation one after another, and the officers of the General Staff had marked the situation on the sand table so that it was clear at a glance.

Today, Hu Gong can get a glimpse of the general appearance of the enemy's arrangement, but it is enough to shock people -- the Northern Frontier Front has unknowingly walked into a large encirclement of about 1.2 million enemies!

Of course, this encirclement is indeed a bit large, a full 800 miles! Equivalent to a quarter of the area of Beihai State! Such a large-scale encirclement can no longer be called a campaign, but should be named after a strategy. However, with such a large encirclement, there are also many loopholes. Although the Northern Frontier Front discovered it a little late, it was not too late. At this time, if Hu Gong ordered to return south, he was sure that he would bring most of the six corps of the Northern Frontier Front back to the south of Beihai Prefecture. Hu Gong is absolutely confident in this.

Hu Gong's shock point was not here, he was shocked by such a large-scale encirclement, such a huge battle plan that was almost crazy, was it really only one enemy of the Yue Clan? Even if the Huns are added now, it is impossible to design such a huge battle plan! The empire's attack on the Xiongnu for five hundred years made the Han people very clear that this unworthy opponent was definitely not such a big-minded leader among the Huns! Yes, to make such a grand and huge strategic plan. You have to have great wisdom and big hearts! This is no longer a plan for one city and one place, but a plan for the country

Deployment of war!

If the enemy eats the Northern Frontier Front, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains will be connected, and the Beihai Prefecture will also face the front of the army. Correspondingly, it would take at least another year to two years for the Great Han to reorganize so many people to fight back. In the last year or two, the enemy will only get stronger, perhaps in the foreseeable near future. The Great Han is about to retract the area of the former territory of the Holy Ancestor. Or even smaller......

In today's world, there is only one enemy capable of making such amazing plans and such ambitions - the Roman Empire!

Hu Gong was really shocked by this. If the Roman Empire really intervened, it would be possible for the Yueshi to burst out with this confidence. Once it is true, the Han Empire will suffer a big loss now with a counterinsurgency mentality!

"The court must be informed immediately that the Romans may have intervened. The Dark Guard must also be allowed to investigate. How deeply the Romans intervened. If it's not terrible to just send people to guide, I'm afraid that they have already sent troops directly to the battle! Thinking of this, Hu Gong decided to personally write a recital and send it back to the imperial capital quickly for eight hundred miles.

Hu Gong's anxiety did not let anyone else know. The staff officers in the tent couldn't feel it either. Except for one person. This person is another major staff officer who was at odds with Zhuge Yun last time, Dianmu.

Dianmu, the word Chenglin, graduated from the staff department of Zhaowu University in 990, and is 32 years old this year. The year he graduated, it happened to be the time when Hu Gong took over the sacrificial wine of Zhaowu University, and his grades at graduation were extremely excellent. is one of Hu Gong's henchmen. He and Xu Dong, who was "exiled", were the two most relied on by Hu Gong's side. But he didn't think that Xu Dong made a mistake and was transferred by Hu Gong to be a department commander, which made Dianmu quite unhappy. What's even more unhappy is that as soon as Xu Dong was transferred, Zhuge Yun was recommended to the marshal's camp by the commander of the Liewuwei Legion.

This Zhuge Yun, who graduated from Imperial University, can be seen from his surname that his origin must be related to the Zhigong family. In addition, he was originally only a staff officer of the Shuozhou Second Class Legion, and he was transferred to the First Class Army Liewuwei in just one year, and this year he went directly into the marshal's camp, and he was promoted so quickly, which is simply an outlier in the Han army, which has always paid attention to seniority. I'm afraid no one will believe him if he doesn't rely on backstage connections.

In fact, Zhuge Yun did not rely on backstage relations, and even his family rarely knew that he had enlisted in the army. Today's step is purely obtained by Zhuge Yun by relying on the talent and ability he has shown. It can be said that Zhuge Yun has shown his differences from ordinary people everywhere since the first day of enlistment, striving for the first place in military assessment, striving for the best in military theory, and even making beds and quilts faster than others! This was deliberately shown by him, in order to be able to get the approval of his superiors as soon as possible.

As a result, he realized! But what he never expected was that the real reason why many superiors agreed to his promotion was not his ability, but because he didn't want such a maverick aristocratic son to get in the way under his hands - there are too few imperial surnames Zhuge , although no one has broken his identity, but someone can still guess it.

Everyone will be jealous, Zhuge Yun was promoted too quickly, which made Dianmu, who had been by Hu Gong's side for thirteen years, still only a major, very unhappy, and even maliciously guessed in private, whether this Zhuge Yun had gone through the path of Zhigong to be promoted-this is the most hated and despised thing by officers at or above the school level. After Zhuge Yun arrived at the marshal's camp, although he was very polite and respectful to Dianmu, he didn't know how to keep his eyes open, but he was sharp, and he wanted to do his best in everything, whether it was military chores or campaign planning, Zhuge Yun always did his best and didn't give it to others. Especially an old man like Noriki to show opportunities. As a result, many of the old staff officers in the marshal's tent gradually became dissatisfied with him.

Of course, this kind of emotion is not obvious now, not to mention that the war is imminent, everyone hides their hearts in their hearts, and there is still a harmonious atmosphere on the surface. This makes Zhuge Yun, who is known as "Little Zhuge " in the school, and Zhuge Yun, who has always stood on a high place and looked down on others, is even more proud, and he has a tendency to arrange all the affairs of the marshal's camp. For a proud son of heaven like Zhuge Yun, there has never been such a thing as Taoguang and obscurity, and he has to show it if he has the ability. Why should you compromise your talent for the sake of other people's opinions?

Obviously, Zhuge Yun, the Confucian golden mean, has learned but has not understood it, and it cannot be applied to real life! In real life, as long as there is an occasional flash of mediocrity, there is a brilliance that is different from ordinary people. You can surpass everyone before you know it. The consequence of being a big bag and being sharp is that everyone will look at you differently, and eventually they will see you as an outlier. exclusion and suppression. Or even directly to the enemy's category......

After Hu Gong went to write the recital, the staff officers gathered in front of the sand table again to discuss. This time, they will discuss how to stabilize the current situation. The teams discussed for a while, and at the end of the discussion, the respective team leaders spoke. The first to speak was Zhuge Yun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are now twelve enemy numbers that have been discovered, if the number is fully staffed. It should be about 1.2 million people. There were less than 30,000 Huns, and they were the elite Xiongnu Wangqi army, entrenched in the south of Ubusu Lake, and there were 10,000 Yue's infantry troops in coordination. The total strength of the army is about 40,000 people, covering an area of the Tangnuula Mountains. In the Kobdo area, the enemy garrison was small in number, with only one brigade. But they hid about four legions in the upper reaches of the Harsu River, east of Kobdo. In February this year, four of the other corps made a detour from the Jinshan Gobi and arrived in the forests of Altai, where they lived for half a year, successfully evading the detection of our army scouts in Feiyun Castle. There were three other legions, which were supposed to be the early Yueshi troops who entered Beihai Prefecture, and hid in the Erhun Valley northeast of Lake Chargan.

Now, the four legions of the Altai Forest have sent one legion to monitor our army in Feiyunbao, and the other three legions have surrounded the flank of the third legion, with the obvious intention of eating the third legion and seizing the baggage of our army. Once this goal is achieved, the three corps in the Erhun Valley can quickly go south to replenish, and then lock the way for our northern frontier front to retreat south, and then encircle and annihilate it.

The opinion of our squad was that the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps should rush to the aid of Feiyun Castle, and the Fourth Army should return the same way, support the Third Army Corps, hold most of the baggage supplies, and then strive to fight the enemy within three hundred miles of Feiyun Castle. I will continue to march north, first go down to Kobdo, and then besiege Jiankun City, and wipe out all the elites of the 1.2 million Yue Clan in Beihai Prefecture......"

After Zhuge Yun finished speaking, he had already ordered someone to draft a proposal document, and was ready to advise Hu Gong on this.

Naturally, the other staff squads were very dissatisfied with this attitude. Although each squad has the power to write a proposal paperwork, in a general staff discussion, each squad will try to unify the proposal so that the boss can make a correct judgment with less interference. And Zhuge Yun's attitude can be said to be a bit arbitrary.

Of course, no one will blame him at this time. But rebuttals are inevitable.

Dian Mu frowned and said, "Nanshan-kun, have you thought about it, the Yue Clan people can stay in the Altai Forest and Erhun Valley for this winter, where will their supplies come from?" More than one million people eat, drink, and Lazar is not a small number, and the residents of the entire Beihai Prefecture may not have so many people. ”

Zhuge Yun arched his hand and said, "Cheng Linjun, I understand what you mean. I personally think that this 1.2 million supplies are supported by Rome, not Rome, but also certainly the small countries bordering Rome. But I think that's where Roma's support ends. After four days and nights of continuous exploration, I believe the conclusion I have come to is correct. ”

Dianmu shook his head: "I don't agree with Nanshan-kun's statement. You must know that the winter in Beihai Prefecture is extremely cold, and food is even more scarce, if these more than a million people are all Yueshi people, I don't think they will be able to survive. Therefore, our team believes that the Romans may have sent troops into battle, and the participants are hiding under the banner of the Yueshi people, which is the only way to explain why the Romans have gone to great lengths to support this large army to spend the whole winter here. In view of this, the opinion of our squad is that with Liewuwei as the rearguard, the flying cavalry guard will go to Chargan Lake, first repel the enemy troops besieging the Third Army Corps in person, and the entire Northern Frontier Front will retreat to the south of Chargan Lake, completely break away from the enemy encirclement, and then think about how to seek a decisive battle with the enemy! ”

"Cheng Linjun's thinking is too conservative." Zhuge Yun said unceremoniously, "How many legions can Rome send to the war?" Their military system is different from ours, the most elite legions are stationed on the Danube to fight the Germanic barbarians, and the other elite legions are in the capital Rome, if there is a large number of legions, our secret guards must know. So even if your squad's idea is true, Rome will not be able to send the most elite troops, maybe just some second-class legions in the provinces. In the face of such an army, our Flying Cavalry Guard and Fierce Warrior Guard can be one against one hundred! Why be afraid? What's more, what the enemy is concerned about must be the baggage of the Third Army, and as long as the Third Army is given sufficient support, it will not be a problem for them to hold out until we defeat the enemy forces in Kobdo and Jiankun City......"

"The question is whether 'General Rabbit' will be able to hold out for our support?!" Dianmu said disdainfully, "Our Fierce Guards and Flying Cavalry Guards are certainly brave, but don't forget, our other legions are all formed by the Second Class Legion, and they may be able to win in one battle in front of the same enemy army, but now the enemy army is several times larger than mine, and the enemy army faced by the Third Legion has three legions, nearly 60,000 people, in case it is defeated, not to mention the baggage, just the rear road is intercepted, can you bear the consequences?" ”

This sentence is a bit serious. Zhuge Yun's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are a coward's idea!" Our Han army is invincible......"

"Soldiers, the land of death and life, the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory is the teaching of the book of soldiers. Dianmu unceremoniously pushed back, "Your plan is to risk the lives of 100,000 brothers of my Northern Frontier Front Army, and it is the behavior of a reckless man!" I don't disdain! ”

"You ......" Zhuge Yun wanted to go back, but saw the herald running in in a hurry, with a military report in his hand: "The Third Army is urgent, the south bank of Chargan Lake is no longer owned by our army, and the rear division of the Third Army has been wiped out, and the heavy losses have reached thirty percent!" The commander of the corps, Hou Jian, once again asked the marshal to come to the rescue, and at the same time hoped that the marshal would give him the power to dispose of the battle! ”

"What?!" All the officers of the staff were shocked at the same time. Dian Mu just wanted to stretch out his hand, but Zhuge Yun once again took the military newspaper to read it, which immediately caused Dian Mu's face to be gloomy.

After reading it, Zhuge Yun muttered: "This matter must be reported to the marshal as soon as possible, and the palace marshal has the power to request the immediate disposal, it seems that the third army is almost unable to hold on, and this 'rabbit general' is ready to burn the baggage and start to escape!" Damn, it's only been four days, why did the enemy break through so quickly? What about the reinforcements of the Fourth Legion and the Brigade of the Flying Guards? Didn't arrive? ”

Someone from Zhuge Yun's squad immediately replied: "The reinforcements of the Fourth Legion have just arrived at Feiyun Castle, and it is estimated that they have been entangled by the enemy. ”

Zhuge Yun's team just asked and answered, and walked to Hu Gong's sleeping tent with the military newspaper, as if they had forgotten the existence of Dianmu and the others.

Dianmu gritted his teeth and looked at Zhuge Yun's back hatefully, and the staff officers of the other squads around him also showed dissatisfaction. One of them said to Dian Mu: "Brother Chenglin, this Zhuge Yun is too arrogant?" Does he want to monopolize the power of the General Staff?! ”

Dianmu took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and sneered: "This kind of son-in-law, he thinks that he is self-righteous after reading for a few more years, and after watching him, he will have to suffer a lot." Go, report to the marshal, you must not let this kid succeed, the lives of tens of thousands of our robes are not child's play, and we can't let him talk nonsense in front of the marshal! ”
