In the next few days, the DPRK and China were calm again, and Zhang Yue was still on duty every day, but he went out early and returned late, and personally went to the camp to preside over the training of the soldiers in the left wing of Hujie. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is about to go on the expedition, and I don't know if my strategy will be adopted in the end, so it is impossible to predict how many troops will be used, and it is always not wrong to strengthen all the training.

On this morning, Zhang Yue came out of the Guards Department and was about to go to the camp, when the inner temple and all the classes came to find him, saying that he was summoned by the emperor. Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that the matter of the expedition was going to come to an end, so he entered the palace with Ma Quanyi with great interest.

Things were as he expected, at this time, outside the Jinxiang Palace, the inner hall was strictly guarded, looking like a great enemy. In the study room of the apse, a huge map was spread out on the open space, and Fan Zhen, Li Gu, Wang Pu, Jing Fan, and several ministers of the Privy Council, Zheng Renxue, and Wei Renpu, were listed.

There is also Wang Pu, who won Guo Rong's attention because of the "Pingbian Policy" he had previously published in the early Zhao Dynasty today, and entered the left to advise the doctor and know the affairs of Kaifeng. Now that the military is talking, Guo Rong also summoned him.

Guo Rong held a red lacquered wooden staff in his hand and pointed to Qin, Cheng, and the steps to Xingyuan Mansion and Yuanzhou to draw a circle, and laughed loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look!" If this piece can be taken, the dangerous land in Shuzhong will be lost, and our army will garrison Xingyuan Mansion, and at any time along the Golden Bull Road to threaten Jianmen Pass, Meng Chang will be afraid and dare not to call the minister Nagong? ”

"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say, Zhang Yuanzhen is young and impulsive, this policy has the suspicion of great joy, unrealistic, the road to Shuzhong is rugged and steep, and the supply of grain and grass is very inconvenient. The minister suggested that it is better to take a prudent policy, and the goal can be achieved by recovering the four states of Qin, Cheng, Feng, and Jie, so please be cautious. "Fan Zhizhi is a relatively conservative politician, and immediately admonished.

Hearing Fan Zhen's objection so clearly, Li Gu and Wang Pu glanced at each other, and instantly reached a consensus, and looked at Zheng Renyu and Wei Renpu together, expecting them to stand up and speak. The result was a little disappointed, Zheng and Wei were also shrewd, just staring at the map and sweeping around, and did not say anything. As for Jing Fan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, he is also a bachelor of the Privy Council, a scholar of the Chinese Academy, a Pingzhangshi, and a judge of the third division, and his position is not low, but his qualifications are shallow, so he naturally keeps his mouth shut.

Guo Rong was a little unhappy in his heart, since the former dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, and Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, were not very obedient, and even Wu Yue Qian also had a wait-and-see mentality. There is nothing wrong with being sensibly cautious, but being unprincipled and cautious is being cowardly.

Seeing that Fan Zhen was opposed, and the other ministers were not easy to speak, Wang Pu bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! Zhang Yuanzhen's "Opening Side Strategy" is very comprehensive, and the minister feels the same way when he reads it. However, there is a slight omission in the planning and suggestions of the Qin Feng war, and the troops of the two prefectures of Jin, the eastern province of Shannan, and the two prefectures of Jun should be traced to the west of the Han River through the Ankang Basin, even if they cannot attack Yuanzhou and contain the Wuding army in Shuzhong, the pressure on the two roads in the north of our army can be sharply reduced, and the chance of victory is greater. ”

"So Wang Qing has a positive opinion? How many troops is appropriate? Will the grain and grass be able to turn around? Guo Rong was actually tempted a long time ago, so he had no choice but to act arbitrarily, so he had to make a show through a few ministers.

The geometry of the troops, food and grass is not within the scope of Wang Pu's duties, and the emperor's thoughts are also fully revealed. Li Gu stood up at the right time and said: "You can send half of the forbidden army and the Fengxiang army, 30,000 people is appropriate, and the Shannan Dongdao town soldiers can be sent separately, and the DPRK and China are exempted from paying grain and grass." ”

"Good! After the forbidden army arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, Wang Jing provided grain and grass. Then, the Fengxiang Army must participate in the war, and the Forbidden Army Department needs a candidate in addition to Hujie Zuoxiang Zhangyue, do you Aiqing have a suitable person to recommend? Guo Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and now the strategy and troops have been decided.

"Your Majesty! Xuanhui Southern Courtyard Envoy, Zhen'an Jie Du Envoy Xiang Xingmin is loyal, calm and moderate, please use it! Wang Pu had a good relationship with Xiang Xun's colleague Emperor Guo Wei in his early years, and the two had some friendship, so he recommended Xiang Xun.

Everyone was discussing, and the attendant reported outside the door that Xiang Xun and Zhang Yue had been brought. Guo Rong beckoned, and the chamberlain ran out again, and after a while, Xiang Xun and Zhang Yue walked in slowly one after the other, bowing and saluting.

"Two free of charge! Presumably you all know that the Qinfeng war is about to go on, and I plan to lead the forbidden army to fight with two people, among which the Fengxiang army will go out of the big earthquake pass, and the left wing of Hujie will go along with the Zhen'an army, and attack from Chencang Road and Baochuan Road to capture Xingyuan Mansion, and at the same time, Shannan Dongdao will send troops to respond from the east, just like Guangshun will take Huizhou in three years, and it will be resolved quickly, do you have any other opinions to add? Guo Rong pointed to the map as he spoke, and turned his head to look at the two people.

"Back to Your Majesty! As long as there is no problem with the transfer of grain and grass, the minister has nothing to worry about. Xiang Xun replied.

Zhang Yue pondered for a while, thinking that there are many mountain roads in the land of Qin and Feng, all of which belong to mountain warfare, and there are no professional sappers in these years, if it goes well, it will be impossible to advance or retreat when the Shu army is blocked, so he pleaded: "Please transfer 100 carpenters and blacksmiths from the general as a supervisor, and the more military doctors, the better, and the rest of the spare ordnance can be replenished." ”

"It's good to think about defeat before you win! Permit! Guo Rong readily agreed, and said: "The two of you will start preparing as soon as possible, today is the fifth day of the fourth month, and we are scheduled to set off on the eighth day of the first month!" ”

This matter is so determined, several civil and military ministers retreated, each back to the official office, Zhang Yue and Xiang Xun discussed the number of troops as they walked, the superior of this era is like this, either say a total number, or a vague number, the specific amount needs to be calculated by yourself.

"With elite soldiers as the top, how many troops can Brother Xingmin contribute?" Zhang Yue asked first.

"The Zhen'an army can produce 5,000 elite soldiers, and a small half of them are tooth troops, no matter how much they can't take, there has been no war in Chenzhou for many years, and the combat effectiveness of the Zhen'an soldiers is barely enough, and it depends on your Hujie left wing." Xiang Xun said with a smile.

"No problem, if it is calculated in this way, then I will send out the second, third, fourth, and fifth armies of the left wing of Hujie, a total of 11,000 people, and now I have to report to the Privy Council and receive ordnance."

"Alright! Then I will also send someone back to Chenzhou, and the soldiers of Chenzhou will meet in Luoyang, there are still many things to prepare, and the time is a little tight, so I will go back to the house first. Xiang Xun bowed his hand and left first.

Zhang Yue went out of the Xuanyou Gate, first went to the Privy Council to meet Zheng Renyu and Wei Renpu, reported the number of troops sent one by one, and then applied for approval of grain, grass and ordnance, etc., and returned to the Guards Division to hand over to Murong Yanzhao to collect, and officially issued an order to the four armies of the second to fifth armies in the left wing, so that the soldiers could say goodbye to their families as soon as possible and prepare the clothes and supplies needed for the expedition.

There are two days left, Zhang Yue's time is not much, this day is spent in a busy way, when I go home in the evening, I went to Yongkang Fang Bian Mansion, I don't know how long it will be to leave Beijing, and the safety of the family needs to be taken care of by Bian Ji. (To be continued.) )
