Chapter 238: Yang Yoo's Preparations
This abounds in history, there are winners and losers.
The most tragic pro-conquest in history is the Ming Dynasty Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, the imperial drive personally conscripted 500,000 troops to expedition to Dala, due to the eunuch Wang Zhen's various mistakes in the process of marching, resulting in the Tumubao Change, 500,000 troops were wiped out, and they were all captured.
Fortunately, this incident is still hundreds of years later, and if it happened before, the possibility of Yang Yu going out on the expedition would be greatly reduced.
Everyone believes that the Sui army in Jaw Yang City is nominally the Acting Prince's personal expedition, but in fact it is the Yin Shishi who dominates the overall situation, and the Acting King Yang Yu is just a puppet
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought so, and those who thought they were knowledgeable thought so, and Li Yuan's father and son also thought that the only one who fought with him was the Yin Shishi, and the acting king Yang Yu was just a role in motivating the army.
And at this moment, in everyone's mind, the commander of the Sui army sat on the side with a dull face, and the Yin World Master looked at the main hall blankly, because he suddenly found that he had become an ornament.
In the main hall, thirty or forty middle-aged scribes are densely packed around, and whenever a piece of information comes over, there will be four or five scribes to discuss and analyze together, and then hand it over to the person at the head to make a decision, this person is Fang Xuanling, the attendant of the East Palace.
No, it should be called Fang Shen.* Chief.
Since Yang Yu chose to go out in person, of course, it was not a momentary whim, but he had already made preparations, since he crossed over, he wanted to get rid of the status of a puppet, of course, he was not willing to be a mud bodhisattva.
However, in fact, even if he had the knowledge that was thousands of years ahead of later generations, Yang Yu studied the military book hard within a year. He was also not a qualified general.
But this deficiency is not impossible to make up, Yang Yu thought of the famous staff of the later generations.
The Counsellors were the first to be taken seriously by Germany, and after the previous battles, the Counsellors played an unparalleled role, which was a sharp increase in Germany's military strength and repeated victories over strong enemies.
At the same time, it has also brought the Ministry of Counsel into the eyes of various countries and has become the most important component of the military of all countries.
The newly established Counsellor Department is Yang Yoo's biggest follower. With the existence of the Ministry of Counseling. Coupled with Fang Xuanling, a top strategist, the role played by the two together is not half a star, which is also the biggest reason why Yang Yu dares to take it personally.
With the help of the Counsellor Department, Yang Yu only needed to wait for Fang Xuanling to complete all the operational plans. Then execute the command.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King. General Yin. * The Ministry of Counsel has already drawn up a battle plan and asked His Royal Highness the Acting King and the General to take a look at it. Fang Xuanling bowed and said.
"Good! Immediately summon the generals to come. Yang Yu said happily.
Soon, Li Jing. Yao Junsu rushed over, and several people gathered in front of the sand table, staring at Fang Xuanling in unison.
The three of them all had doubts about the newly created Counsellor and * Conspiracy Department of His Royal Highness the Acting King, but they didn't say it because of Yang Yun's face, but they didn't believe in what kind of battle plan those scribes who were powerless could work out.
The Yin World Master who became an ornament had already been depressed, and he had already prepared countless questions in his heart, ready to interrogate Fang Xuanling, so that His Royal Highness the Acting King would know that if he wanted to fight, he still had to rely on them as generals.
"Your Royal Highness, please take a look, generals!" Fang Xuanling took the rice paper, walked to the sand table, and pointed to Jaw Yang and Han Cheng Dao.
"The Tang army occupies 30,000 troops in Hancheng, and according to the secret agent's report, Zhang Lun has led 15,000 Tang troops to cross the river from Hukou, and now it should have arrived to join Li Yuan." Fang Xuanling said.
Everyone nodded, the information that Zhang Lun crossed the river, Yang Yu had already explored, and the generals had already known.
"Hancheng and Hancheng are one hundred and fifty miles apart, and there are a total of ten locations suitable for ambushes along the way, and three of them are the best, if our army marches, we must explore these locations......" Fang Xuanling pointed to the places on the sand table.
The Yin World Master and the others couldn't help nodding.
"Li Yuan's army crossing the river must carry not much grain and grass, plus Zhang Lun's army of 15,000, although it occupied Hancheng by surprise attack, its grain and grass will last for a month at most."
"The Tang army is under the command of Li Yuan's father and son. The left army is led by Li Jiancheng, the right army is led by Li Shimin, and Li Yuan is in charge of the middle. ”
"Li Yuan's soldiers lack armor, and our army can use a bow and crossbow to break the ......"
"Li Yuan crosses the river, there must be a shortage of cavalry, and our army can ......"
………………
……
From road conditions, terrain, to marching and arming, and logistics supply, one strategy after another came from Fang Xuanling's mouth.
Even the potential contradictions and differences between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, as well as their personal personalities, have been analyzed in detail and countermeasures have been pointed out.
Yao Junsu looked at Fang Xuanling with a stunned expression, and was amazed in his heart.
Yin Shishi had a cold sweat on his face, and after listening to Fang Xuanling's analysis and deployment, he realized that his draft was full of loopholes, let alone refute Fang Xuanling, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing as soon as he says it.
Li Jing's eyes were full of brilliance, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Acting King seemed to be fooling around.
"The humble duty has been finished, please act on behalf of His Royal Highness the king."
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully.
"Ahem, ahem!" Yang Yu coughed a few times, waking up the sluggish three.
"Generals, do you have any additional comments?" Yang Yu looked at the three of them.
After a long time, the Yin Shishi sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Acting King is wise, with the existence of this counseling, the strength of our army will increase by at least thirty percent. ”
"Master Fang is talented, the last general will admire!" Yao Jun said.
"General Yao has won the award, this is the efforts of all the staff of the Ministry of Counseling, and Fang does not dare to take credit." Fang Xuanling said modestly.
Li Jing sighed and said, "From now on, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the world to win more with less!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, with the existence of the Counsellor Department, they were able to take all aspects and everything into account. If you want to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Acting King, it is a blessing for our army to have this participation.* The existence of the Ministry of Counseling." Li Jing said.
"Today is just talk on paper, and more accurate operational plans need to be personally investigated." Yang Yu waved his hand.
Of course, military staff members cannot participate in the house, and they must go to the field to verify it.
"Li Jing obeys orders!"
"The last general!"
"From tomorrow, lead the Yingyang battalion to attack and destroy the spies of the Tang army between Jayang and Hancheng. Conservation of field trips to the staff. Yang Yu ordered.
"Yes!" Li Jing responded.
The Eagle Battalion is the most elite soldier. The weapons were advanced, the cavalry of the Tang army was scarce, and Yang Yu sent the Yingyang battalion to attack and destroy the Tang army spies. That is, the participants are protected. made Tang Jun blind again.
"The Yin Master listens to the order!" Yang Yu looked at the Yin World Master.
"The last general!" The Yin World Master said quietly.
"First of all, according to the plan formulated by the staff. Changes will be made in the future. Yang Yu said.
"The last general commands!" The Yin Master shouted.
"General Yao assists General Yin in pacifying the three armies." Yang Yu looked at Yao Junsu.
"The last general commands!" Yao Jun answered.
Yang Yu looked at the three of them and said, "This battle is related to the stability of Daxing City, and Yang Yu will get rid of the three generals." ”
"The last general will swear allegiance to the death. Defeat the Lee Thief. The three of them clasped their fists together and said solemnly.
"Good!"
Yang Yu drank in his mouth.
With a wave of his hand, Dong Yue, the commander of the guards, appeared behind him, holding three narrow brocade boxes in his hands.
Yang Yu put the three brocade boxes in the hands of the three generals.
"It's ......"
The Yin World Master had seen a similar brocade box, and he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Yang Yu nodded, confirming Yin Shishi's guess.
The Yin World Master opened the brocade box anxiously, and sure enough, the familiar handwriting appeared in front of his eyes.
"The mirror is in the people, and the mirror is dead."
"Binoculars!"
Yao Junsu also opened the brocade box and saw the contents of the box, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Li Jingmo's hand, the telescope is not a secret in Daxing City, he has already heard that His Royal Highness the Acting King has this weapon in the world, it is said that there are only two in the world, one is dedicated to the emperor, and the other is taken to Jiangcheng by Qu Tutong.
But three more appeared in front of him, and the three of them looked at Yang Yu in surprise.
"This is a telescope that this king has collected from all over the world and rebuilt it." Yang Yu said cheekily, and he didn't admit that he deliberately controlled the number in order to prevent the secret spread of the telescope.
"These three binoculars will be given to you, and you don't have to hand them in after the war, you can keep them yourself." Yang Yu said generously.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The Yin World Master looked up in surprise, with an incredible expression. After the last war, he used the telescope to coordinate the overall situation, and restrained Liang Shi to death, and the feeling of anticipating the enemy's opportunity made him want to stop.
After the war, after he endured the pain and handed in the binoculars, he was lost for a long time, and at this moment, His Royal Highness the Acting King actually let him keep it after the war, how could he not be surprised.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yao Junsu and Li Jing were also pleasantly surprised, who doesn't yearn for this kind of strange thing in the world.
After the three generals received the order, they immediately went back to reorganize the army for battle.
…………
The gate of Jiangcheng, which had been closed for several months, suddenly opened, and Qu Tutong led an army of 40,000 along the brick road, preparing to return to Guanzhong.
As soon as Qu Tutong's army was dispatched, it was immediately discovered by Liu Wenjing's exploration horse. It immediately spread to the camp of the Don army.
"Good! Qu Tutong really returned to help Guanzhong. ”
Liu Wenjing slapped the table, looked at the two alien generals on the left and right, and arched his hand: "Drag Qu Tutong this time, and it's all up to the two generals!" ”
"Master Sima, don't worry, with our Turkic iron cavalry, it is impossible for Qu Tutong to reach Guanzhong." The Turkic pillar state Kang Sheli said proudly.
"Do as your lord commands." Ashina Danai said respectfully,
Kang Sheali was invited by Liu Wenjing from the Turks, and had a close relationship with Liu Wenjing, Ashina Danai was attached to Li Yuan from the beginning, and he must obey Li Yuan's orders.
Liu Wenjing is the best candidate to mobilize the two cavalry, so the heavy task of dragging Qu Tutong falls on Liu Wenjing.
"Boom,"
A large number of cavalry set out from the Tang army camp and rushed towards Qu Tutong.
Under the constant harassment of the cavalry of the Tang Army, Qu Tutong only walked twenty miles in one day's march. (To be continued......)
