General Lin did not come to the army for a few days to discuss the meeting, Xu Zhiqing's explanation was clearly for everyone, but secretly it was specifically for him to analyze the situation, so as not to let him, a carefree general, not know the years in his dream, and live a confused life. At the current situation, several people frowned when they heard this, and even the high chieftain, who was not good at military affairs, instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Another glance at the map sketched by Xu Zhiqing showed that the vast land from Wuyuan in the east, to Yiwu in the west, beyond the Kuncang Mountains, and to the north was the sphere of influence of the Turks. Dahua is known as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the land is vast and rich, and compared with the Turks, the geographical area alone cannot be advantageous at all. It's just that most of the Turkic territory is grasslands and deserts, and it is separated from the land of fish and rice in Dahua.

"Miss Xu, I have always had a question that I haven't understood." Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said seriously: "The land of the Turks is so big, almost on the same level as my Dahua, so how many people do they have?" ”

Xu Zhiqing sighed slightly, stretched out four crystal like jade fingers and shook them in front of him, Lin Wanrong was stunned: "400,000 people, so many?" Then I'm afraid this battle will have to be fought for a few years! ”

Xu Zhiqing was angry and funny, and said angrily: "Do you have any brains? If there were only 400,000 Turkic people, how dare he dare to invade the hinterland of Dahua? ”

It seems to make some sense, Lin Wanrong smiled, Hu Bugui was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, and hurriedly said: "What Miss Xu means is that the Turks are in their prime, and there are 400,000 strong men, and the ordinary people are afraid that there are millions, which is still the number of previous years." In recent years, they have defeated Tiele and Qiuzi and dominated the grassland desert. The power has grown rapidly, and now I don't know how much the population has increased. ”

400,000 strong men? Lord Lin stuck out his tongue, which was really very different from the Turks he knew in his previous life. It is clearly a big country that can almost compete with Dahua.

"Brother Gao, let me ask again," he lowered his voice and said cautiously: "There are so many Turkic people, so how many soldiers and horses are stationed in my Dahua at the border pass?" According to the younger brother's shallow opinion, how can you get six or seven hundred thousand, right? ”

Chief Gao shook his head slightly, his face was embarrassed, Xu Zhiqing snorted and said, "Do you think this is a mud kneading man, you can come as much as you want?" There are Japanese people harassing us in southern China, and there are at least 100,000 garrisons in the southeast. And at the northern foot of the Great Wall. The total number of soldiers in the three battalions is more than 300,000, plus another 300,000 elites who went north with the marshal this time, a total of 600,000 troops. I, Dahua, have done my best. The strong man went out and swore to fight to the death with the Hu people. ”

600,000 Dahua elites compared to 400,000 Turkic iron cavalry, there is no advantage at all, and the old man still swore that he would eradicate Hu Lu, Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Looking at his helpless face. Xu Zhiqing said quietly: "If it is only in terms of the number of people, my Dahua has the upper hand, and we will take a defensive position." It is not easy for the Hu people to fight a decisive battle with us. But to our disadvantage, our army's battle line is too long, the Turkic cavalry is mobile and flexible, and there is no need to worry about the future, and only need to break through a little, and our defensive line will be completely useless. That's what worries me the most. ”

She sighed slightly, her sparkling cheeks glistening softly in the drooping twilight. The faint melancholy in his eyes deeply infected everyone. This burden is all on the shoulders of a weak woman. It really embarrassed her.

"Flexible?!" Miss Xu's words seemed to remind Lin Wanrong, and his heart moved, his eyes stared at Xu Zhiqing's delicate cheeks, and he was stunned for a while.

"Brother, what's wrong? Hey, you're drooling-" Seeing that Lord Lin's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open round, as if he was a chimpanzee that had not evolved well, and he didn't know what stimulation he was under, his eyes were staring straight at Xu Junshi, and Chief Gao hurriedly pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh, is it," Lin Wanrong came to her senses, hurriedly wiped her sleeve to the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao likes to joke, this is clearly the dew that only falls at night, what does it have to do with saliva?" Under normal circumstances, I only drool when I see beautiful women, don't be mistaken, big brother. ”

Gao Chief Hu Bugui and the others laughed loudly, Xu Zhiqing lowered her head slightly, but she didn't forget to glare at him, and a touch of red faintly floated between her pink neck, reflecting her delicate and beautiful cheeks.

After everyone had laughed enough, Lin Wanrong straightened up and said, "Master Xu, I have something to understand. The Turkic cavalry is just flexible, why do you say they don't have to worry about the future?! ”

"Isn't it?!" Xu Zhiqing glanced at him a few times, and said softly: "My Dahua soldiers stick to the city, in order to protect the integrity of the country, they don't dare to move half a point easily, and they are passively beaten everywhere. On the other hand, the Turks, who went deep into the desert steppe, did not divide the national border at all, and did not have the responsibility of defending the territory, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, without the need to defend the country, came as they said, left as they said, attacked at ease, retreated with peace of mind, and firmly grasped the initiative in their hands. What else is there to worry about?! ”

The Turks are nomadic peoples, and it is not unreasonable for Miss Xu to say that they come and go freely. Lin Wanrong nodded, and said unhurriedly: "What the military advisor said is right, the border of the Hu people is mobile, and there is indeed no need to protect the land." But to say that they have no worries at all, I don't approve of it. ”

Seeing that his eyes were shining, with Xu Zhiqing's understanding of him, he knew that this person must have some ghost idea. She was full of anticipation in her heart, but her expression was as calm as water, and she nodded lightly: "I want to hear it." ”

Lin Wanrong sighed: "What Miss Xu just said, Hu people can come if they want to, leave if they want, and enter and leave my Dahua country as if no one is there, but why is this?!" ”

"Probably because they're strong." Hu Bugui whispered.

Lin Wanrong shook his head: "No matter how strong your strength is, you won't use my Dahua as a soft persimmon." In my opinion, the reason why the Hu people come and go freely is caused by our own conservative decision-making, blindly taking a defensive position, who does he not bully you? To put it mildly, this is the result of our indulgence of them, and we are to blame. ”

It's really hard to hear, but don't Miss Xu and General Lin quarrel again, Du Xiuyuan looked at General Lin cautiously, and then at Xu Zhiqing, and his heart was full of emotions.

Chief Gao was puzzled: "Brother Lin, I don't understand what you say, the Turks have invaded my frontier, don't we defend the city?" They are powerful, so it should be good for us to avoid them and defend the city. "It should be similar to the high chief.

Lin Wanrong nodded: "Brother Gao is right, the Turks are coming, and we are defending the city, which is not wrong." But the mistake is that I only saw a word of guard, not a word of attack. They're strong, we're weak, so we can't attack? What is the rationale for this? Why do the Turks invade our borders and drive straight in, come and go freely, and play whatever they want? To put it bluntly, we were too conservative and gave up on attacking completely, we didn't put enough pressure on them at all, and of course they had fun. ”

General Lin's words are theoretically good. Du Xiuyuan thought for a while and said seriously: "The Hu people have no borders, even if we want to attack, we can't find an opponent." What's more, giving up the city defense technique that we are good at, fighting with the fierce Hu people on the desert, and saying a word of frustration, this is exactly what the Hu people can't ask for. ”

"Yes, the Hu people do have no borders to defend. Riding around the world, it looks chic. Lin Wanrong smiled slightly: "But, don't they really have something to defend?!" I don't think so! Find out their death**, one blow and fatal, see how his hundreds of thousands of cavalry can come and go when they want! ”

"What do the Hu people want to defend?" Chief Gao muttered to himself, and suddenly looked happy: "Yes, we can go and burn their grain and grass, and rob their women, he must defend these, right?!" him***-"

Lin Wanrong blinked, but Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan had already laughed. Xu Zhiqing's face was flushed, and she glared at Lin Wanrong a few times.

"Miss Xu, this is not my business, I didn't teach him," Lord Lin grinned and said, "Brother Gao's words are rude. It is true that there are some heroes who are courageous, and the younger brother admires them. ”

Several people laughed, Xu Zhiqing shook her head and said: "The Hu people are not as Dahua as me, their war horses, grain and grass are all taken away with the army." Looting food is useless, but can end up in a wolf's den. As for robbing women, Hu women have high noses and blue eyes, and they are not much stronger than Yaksha. There is also a crucial point, the Hu women also grew up on horseback, and their riding and archery skills are much stronger than those of ordinary men in my Dahua. ”

Miss Xu's expression was faint, and she glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally. It seems to have been specially addressed to him.

Lord Lin touched his cheek in annoyance, do I look like a pervert? Why are you staring at me? I'm famous, beautiful women can't be lewd!

"It's possible to sneak up on small groups of Turkic cavalry and tribes," Du Xiuyuan said cautiously, "as long as one of them is hit." As soon as the news spread, the Turks had worries and did not dare to trample on our border so unscrupulously. ”

This is an old and serious statement, and it is also operable. The embarrassing thing is that the Turkic tribes are all soldiers. Unless it is a siege with several times the number of troops, otherwise, once the fight starts. It's hard to say who attacked whom.

Hu Bugui immediately thought of the problem, shook his head and said: "There are at least two or three thousand people in a clan tribe of the Hu people, and we need at least five thousand elite cavalry to sneak attack before we can be sure of victory." Moreover, it is very likely that the war will be stalemate and not handled properly, but it will make our army fall into passivity, and the risk is too great. ”

Both proposals were rejected, but Lin Wanrong, the initiator of the initiative, has not yet spoken. Looking at the way he smiled, you knew that he had already calculated. Xu Zhiqing stared at Lin Wanrong and said with some annoyance: "General Lin, don't play some dumb riddles anymore." If you have any proposals, please speak quickly. ”

Lin Wanrong spread her hands and smiled: "I don't have any good proposals, Miss Xu laughed at me." ”

Seeing his self-respecting appearance, Xu Zhiqing hated it so much that she hung up people's appetites, but she cherished herself and refused to say anything, she hated such people the most. She snorted leisurely, stared at his cheek, and said angrily, "General Lin is too modest." You are virtuous, intelligent, and wise, and you have a good reputation all over the world, and I am sure you must have good advice. ”

"Miss Xu has won the award," Lord Lin sighed, "Actually, these shortcomings you mentioned, just like how handsome I looked, were all things I have been trying to correct, but now it seems that I have completely failed." ”

Chief Gao laughed out loud, patted Lin Wanrong on the shoulder, and sighed: "I'm ashamed, Brother Lin, don't say I don't know yet, why are your shortcomings exactly the same as my advantages?" I really don't have anything other than that! ”

Lord Lin roared, his chest depressed. This old and shameless appearance is quite the style of my time. Whoever says I'm thick-skinned in the future will be in a hurry with whoever I'm in a hurry - am I too tall to be old?

"Do you say it or don't you say it?" Seeing him and Chief Gao squeezing their eyebrows and smiling like a thief, Miss Xu's face turned red, and she couldn't wait to fly up her little feet and kick him.

Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly: "Since Miss Xu wants me to say it, then I have no choice but to be ugly." In fact, Hu people are like us, there are some things that they must protect. The sneak attack on the Hu tribe that Brother Du just said is a good proposal, the disadvantage is that the risk is greater, and the gain is smaller, even if it is successful, the impact is not too great. ”

He paused, and his voice suddenly became serious: "If you want to have a big harvest, you have to go through a big risk, this is an unbreakable truth. To fight a snake is to hit seven inches, and it must have a great impact, which makes the Hu people shudder - please think about it, where is their death, which can kill with one blow?! ”

Hanging people's appetite again, Miss Xu was anxious, and the pencil in her hand poked his armor: "You are going to annoy me to death, say it quickly!" ”

Lin Wanrong grinned, took the pencil from her hand, and drew on the map intentionally or unintentionally, guiding everyone's eyes: "Everyone look at the map - follow me, look north, farther, farther away, see the place where the Hu people are not alert - yes, this is it!" ”

He sighed heavily, the pen fell on a place on the map, and he made a circle of hard moon, and then exerted his strength to eat milk, and forked it fiercely in that month, and the force penetrated the back of the paper!

When everyone saw the place clearly, their breath was choked, their pupils continued to dilate, their faces were white and red, red and white, and beads of sweat rolled down.

"What a powerful circle!!" Chief Gao's exclamation sounded: "Brother Lin, where is this?!" ”
