Chapter III Operational Planning and Mobilization
After nightfall, in the war room of the Tiance barracks, after listening to Li Qi and the four internal guards briefing the situation, several officers present also stared at the two maps on the table and frowned tightly.
Nanzhao is also too tricky, unless they are lured out to take the initiative to attack and defeat their main force outside, it will be difficult to forcibly attack their hinterland with 20,000 people!
"What do you think of the good weapon?" Xiao Quzhi first asked Li Sheng's opinion.
Li Sheng looked at the map of Longshou Pass and Longwei City again and again, and said: "We have few people, we must not divide our troops to attack at the same time in the north and south, it is feasible to build a ship and attack on the east coast of Erhai Lake, but it will take too long, and we will not have time to wait."
The risk of crossing Cangshan is also very great, we are not familiar with the terrain, they have already prepared, how not to send people to secretly monitor the main roads in the mountains, it is impossible to hide their whereabouts. ”
Ma Sui continued: "So the choice left for us is to take Longshou Pass in the north or Longwei City in the south, the north is not good, the terrain is too steep, and it is easy to be copied by the Tibetan barbarians, so the best strategy is to break through Longwei City!" ”
Xiao Quzhi nodded and said, "What the two of you said is right, my opinion is also to secretly occupy Longwei City, and then go straight to Taihe City, the question is how to get there?" ”
Cao Xueyang said: "This Xi'er River is not wide, the widest place is only sixty steps, the narrow place is only forty steps, and there is almost a five-mile long section of the river that we can use, why not start here?" ”
Qin Yiyan said: "Then Ge Luofeng has repeatedly defeated my Tang army, and he can be regarded as a masterpiece in the world, how can he take this section of the river lightly?" This five-mile section of the river must be strictly guarded, and the intelligence says that the bank slope of this section of the river is steep. The current is fast. It's not that easy to sneak over. ”
Li Qi thought for a while and said, "I think General Cao's plan is feasible. We can use the thinking of special operations that the Commander-in-Chief often tells us. Send an elite special squad to find a section of the river to sneak over at night.
Then hide his tracks, sneak attack Longwei City with lightning speed, and then hold this place and wait for the army to come, if it can't be held, blow up the city. ”
Nan Jiyun said: "If the Nanzhao soldiers are too tightly guarded in this five-mile section of the river, we can actually swim over from the Erhai Lake, and the circle will be bigger." On the contrary, it can be more unexpected. ”
Li Sheng and Ma Sui frowned and thought about it, and finally gritted their teeth and said: "We also think it is feasible, and now, what we have to consider is the specific implementation details."
How many small detachments, if they secretly reach the river without being discovered, after sneaking over, they will seize Longwei City with this point; Where are our main forces to pick up? Let's take it together. ”
Then the seven people gathered around the four maps on the table and began to study them, although Qin Yiyan kept saying "It's too risky, it's too risky", but he still actively made suggestions. It didn't take long for a battle plan to be roughly completed. The specific perfection is Li Sheng and Ma Sui's business.
Finally, Qin Yiyan asked, "There is another problem, how to solve the miasma of Nanzhao. ”
"The so-called miasma is nothing more than the hot and humid environment of the local area, as well as the poisonous gas brought by the rotting corpses of animals on the ground and the branches and leaves of trees, as well as the unclean water source." Xiao Quzhi explained: "I am going to formulate a set of strict health regulations and bring a large number of doctors and medicines with me. In addition, I will also bring a lot of dry food and water purifiers. ”
"Water purifier?"
"It's a device that can turn muddy water into clean water, and I've ordered someone to start producing it. In addition, I have a secret weapon to keep everyone who goes to Nanzhao will not be injured by the miasma. ”
Ma Sui asked, "What secret weapon?" ”
Xiao Quzhi took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a few gray-black pills with an aromatic smell: "It's Zhuge Marching Army, don't you forget, we have a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou here." I think back then, Wuhou Nan conquered Meng, captured seven and seven columns, and was also disturbed by miasma, and then there was this Zhuge march, as early as two months ago, I asked Mr. Zhuge , I didn't expect it to be true! ”
Qin Yiyan was overjoyed and said: "The Great Commander has made all the plans for the conquest of Nanzhao early in the morning, so there is no problem. ”
Xiao Quzhi stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said loudly: "Nanzhao Yuer Xiaobang, repeatedly offended my Datang Tianwei, killed my 200,000 soldiers, and consumed a lot of my Datang national strength.
From now on, the Tiance Army has entered the first level of combat readiness, the combat mobilization is conveyed to every soldier, everyone is not allowed to go out without an order, the Dragon Boat Festival is given a day off, and after returning to the team, the six major armies will go out in early May!
Until I return from the victory, all the workshops are not allowed to work overtime, and the workers, peasants, and the Youth League must all be mobilized from tomorrow onwards, and there will be at least one hour of training time every day, and the peasant and soldier associations will be arranged to assist in guarding everywhere! The training and guard allowance is 20 wen per person per day.
Gentlemen, let's work together! ”
Li Qi became emotional, stretched out his right hand and slapped it heavily on Xiao Quzhi's palm, followed by the other five palms also slapped up heavily.
It didn't take long for the horns of the entire barracks to sound, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army came out of their respective barracks, and they looked at each other with a rather strange and excited look on their faces, and then someone whispered.
"Level 1 combat readiness!"
"It must be to fight Nanzhao!"
"Finally got us to the battlefield!"
"Let them see what the strongest army in the world is!"
"Didn't say anything, kill them all, kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Then a regimental lieutenant went to the war room for a meeting, and from time to time, his brigade commanders, team leaders, fire commanders, and even ordinary soldiers asked loudly: "Captain, are you going to fight Nanzhao?" ”
Those lieutenants looked at these people one by one, their eyes were hot, and they all said with a little excitement: "Is it not, I will know soon, let's go back and get ready." ”
Subsequently, these captains, generals, as well as high-level personnel of the intelligence department and internal security, plus the two lieutenant envoys Wang Chengen and Yuan Siyi, came to the war room one after another, and more than 100 glass lanterns illuminated the room as bright as day. Looking at a manuscript sent by the Grand Commander's personal guard. The faces of each of the officers were on the verge of madness with excitement.
Finally, the battle was fought. The last time, 2,700 infantry and 300 cavalry were selected to go to the South China Sea, and all of them made great contributions, and when they returned, almost every family was given a building with running water and toilets according to their merits.
Many people have also been promoted, not to mention the rewards, and now they have all become rich people in Luoyang, and the matchmakers who went to these people to propose relatives are almost going to break the threshold.
These benefits are nothing, after all, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion. There is no one who has a bad life, who does not have a public house to live in, enjoy various benefits, and the families of military personnel are respected by everyone in Togi Province.
The most eye-catching thing is that these people who have been to the South China Sea each have a different iron medal called a medal, which is worn on the chest, not to mention how majestic it is.
After these people return to Tiance, they will not be more proud, whether it is training or drills. All have to put on a veteran posture and chat in their spare time. It's also a mouthful of "you don't know...... That big cannibal, the natives of the South China Sea, don't mention how fierce ...... is."
But everyone is still willing to revolve around them, and they don't dare to be unconvinced, not to mention, they have done experiments, and the 30 military formations formed by those who have not gone to the South China Sea are just unable to defeat the military formations that have gone out of the South China Sea, and those who have really been on the battlefield are different, people have self-confidence, psychological advantages, and they move cleanly.
Now that they are finally going to the battlefield, they are still fighting the miraculous Nanzhao Army that has been passed on by the people of Guannai and the Central Plains, which makes them not excited.
As early as the beginning of the founding of the army, Xiao Qubing has always instilled in all the soldiers that you are my soldiers, you are the strongest, the strongest soldiers in the world!
In the past two years or so, they can be said to have been training day and night, all kinds of exercises, and they have also confronted the student soldiers of the Tang Dynasty martial arts and the tooth soldiers of the envoys of various sections, and they really have no opponent.
As a result, all the Tiance soldiers have a very confident understanding of themselves: we are indeed the strongest.
However, when this feeling that we are the strongest grows stronger and stronger, but we can't find a fight, then isn't the daily hard training meaningless?
It's like a pearl cast into the dark, and a brocade robe at night; It's like you have a peerless knife, but you can't take it out to cut people; It's like having a peerless martial arts, watching a few jumping clowns fight but can't do it; It's like doing the most amazing thing, but no one knows about it, this feeling is really unpleasant, very unpleasant!
So now it's time to prove yourself and become famous in a fight!
“…… Think of the training you've had for more than two years, think of your weaponry, think of the supreme glory of returning victorious...... Our goal is to completely defeat the main force of Nanzhao, kill all their elite troops, Luo Thozi, capture Luo Fengsheng, the king of Nanzhao, alive, and sacrifice them to His Majesty, do you have confidence? ”
After the mobilization, all the captains and generals were so excited that some shouted: "Of course we have confidence, we are the strongest, kill them all!" ”
"After training for so long, we can finally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the country, we have been impatient for a long time!"
"I didn't say it, kill all the Nanzhao soldiers and capture Ge Luofeng alive!"
"Kill all the soldiers of Nanzhao and capture Ge Luofeng alive!"
"Kill all the soldiers of the Southern Zhao and capture the ...... of Ge Luofeng alive"
After the meeting, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi went to the barracks to inspect again, arranged some things, and when Xiao Quzhi came home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he had already left a message to ask He Keer to go to bed early, but she didn't expect her to wait until now.
"Sorry, I'm late, didn't I tell you to go to bed early?" Xiao Quzhi said a little apologetically, for the reason that he came back late, and because he was about to go on the expedition again.
"Xiao Lang, this time you will go on the expedition...... How long will it take? He Ke'er asked softly.
"It won't be long before everything goes well, and I will be able to come back in more than four months, or half a year at the latest."
He Ke'er was lying on the bed looking at him, her eyes looked like a wronged child, Xiao Qu was stunned, and said: "Ke'er, I'm sorry, I'll try to come back as soon as possible, I can't watch Nanzhao keep consuming Datang's strength, let others go, this is a bottomless pit......"
"When is the husband going to leave?"
He Keer smiled, after a few years of husband and wife, the two of them almost talked about everything, many things, such as military plans and career plans, Xiao Qubing never hid it from her.
Nanzhao was planned more than a year ago, and both of them knew it, so they didn't need to explain it at all, but seeing her husband's apologetic explanation, her heart was still warm.
"Mobilization will start tomorrow, wait for me to go to Chang'an to ask for war, start deploying and transporting supplies, and officially set off, it will take more than seven or eight days, and after your birthday, ...... after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Xiao Quzhi spoke, took off his clothes and shoes, climbed into bed, lifted the blanket, and then froze.
"You dare to tempt me, wait a minute, don't beg for mercy!" Xiao Quzhi laughed and lay down, hugged He Ke'er and put the two bodies together, and began to smell the fragrance on her body......
The two are no longer newlyweds, and Xiao Quai's physical desire is extremely strong, and the **** between husband and wife is extremely intense and obsessed every time. He Ke'er naturally feels very good, and every time she feels that she and her husband's body and soul are becoming one, like in the clouds.
But until now, He Keer is still able to do it but not say, she is as shy as a bride, and she is so active this time, but it is the second time.
At this time, He Ke'er also hugged Xiao Quai's neck tightly with both hands and didn't let go, wanting to completely melt himself into it, obviously he was already in love, but he had to say other things that hurt the scenery: "Ke'er is worried about Tubo and Youzhou Hu, Tubo has just undergone a major purge, although the territory and strength have weakened a lot, but it has become a mourning soldier, and the mourning soldier will win;
and Youzhou Hu, you always say that it will take a year and a half for him to rebel, but how can this matter be so certain, what if he is ahead of schedule? ”
Holding such a fragrant and soft body in her arms, she felt that she was warm, without a little flawed skin ~ skin, and her ears were itchy by her breath like an orchid, Xiao Quzhi felt that he was about to explode.
Hold He Ke'er's mouth with his fingers, and gasp and say: "Don't worry, I've thought about it, I've already sent Xinying to contact the eldest brother in Tubo and ask him to send troops to Tubo at the same time;
I will also leave 10,000 soldiers and horses here, and all the workers and peasants in Togi Province will be mobilized, so don't torture me, now, let's do something happy! ”
……
It is separated from Luoyang by thousands of miles in the north, Datang River North Road, Yanchuan County, Longmen Town.
In a very small Huozheng Temple about twenty miles away from the city, Zhang Xiancheng, who was meditating and carrying qi and blood, opened his eyes, his eyes were hot, and his face showed an expression of ecstasy.
Since more than two years ago, Xiao Qubing took people to study Dongping Palace, Zhang Xiancheng's heart has been extremely afraid of Xiao Quai, and when he often dreams, he will be awakened by the other party's domineering two eagle arrows shot at him, and the other party's condescending and aggressive eyes looking at him.
In the past two years, he has brought back Xiao Qu's practice method of the Pile Gong, and practiced it with Nie Xingsoul and his master, the Saiwai Sword Demon Tuoba Ye. His master's daily practice is the Taoist guidance technique and the meditation of qi and blood transport, and Xiao Quai's set of exercises is also inherited from Taoism, and many things are naturally connected.
Tuoba Ye has lived in seclusion outside the plug all the year round, and he has long reached the realm of a grandmaster who has no distractions and returns to the basics, after getting this set of exercises brought back by Zhang Xiancheng, although it is only an entry-level level, it is equivalent to pointing out another direction for him.
During this period, Nie Xingsoul also secretly went to Luoyang once, stealing teachers to learn art, and in the past two years, the internal cultivation of the martial idiot sword demon Tuoba Ye has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has already begun to get a glimpse of the way to transform strength, and before this, the ability to carry qi and blood in a short period of time, he is not weaker than Xiao Quai.
Zhang Xiancheng is far behind, Xiao Qu's illness has become his heart barrier, for more than two years, he has fought against it with great perseverance, and now, he has finally broken through to the dark energy.
Zhang Xiancheng stood up and came to the open space outside the temple to practice a set of swordsmanship, feeling that his reaction speed and strength had reached a higher level, and he was extremely happy. But at the same time, I also know that it is difficult to go further.
Tomorrow, I will go to the master to say goodbye, if I can ask the master to come out, it is naturally good, if not, I and Nie Xingsoul, we must also join forces to kill that Xiao Quai, remove the heart barrier, and let my thoughts be clear. (To be continued.) )
