Chapter 26: Planning
General Wu Sheng, as the commander of the three armies, is naturally in charge of the Chinese army, and Xue Qinghe, as the deputy commander, should also be in charge of the Chinese army like General Wu Sheng.
However, Xue Qinghe knew that there was no point in doing this, so it was better to lead the army to participate in the battle.
And General Wu Sheng's attitude towards Xue Qinghe is also very good, perhaps because as a representative of the military general faction, he is a little vague about things like the change of imperial power.
Naturally, Xue Qinghe led an army of 30,000 men and stationed twenty miles away from Wu Sheng's main tent, and not far from the rebel capital.
The main core of this battle is still the capital, and Wu Sheng also put all his attention on the rebel capital, so it can be said that Wu Sheng is ready to end this battle in a short time.
But the walls of the rebel capital are towering, and even if it is a siege, I am afraid it will not be able to capture it in a short time and a half.
If it was really so easy to capture, then it should have been captured a long time ago, rather than waiting until the Snowy Night Emperor returned to the court.
.......
"Commander Liu, Commander Qin, we meet again."
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, looking at the two people in front of him, these two came to his command again, and he didn't know if Wu Sheng did it on purpose, or if it was a coincidence.
"I've seen Your Highness."
The two saluted to Xue Qinghe.
Then the three of them entered the military tent to discuss the next countermeasures.
Regarding Xue Qinghe, Wu Sheng's attitude is very vague, and it is similar to the appearance of ignoring it.
This has pros and cons for Xue Qinghe, but if it is handled well, then the pros will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
"What is Your Highness's plan?" Commander Liu and Commander Qin both looked at Xue Qinghe, after all, Xue Qinghe was their backbone.
Xue Qinghe touched his chin and said, "Now the general's target is the rebel capital, and he has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the rebel capital. ”
"The walls of the rebel capital are high and thick, and they can't be easily breached." Commander Liu said: "His Royal Highness is stationed here, although it is relatively close to the rebel capital, but the target should not be the rebel capital." ”
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "Commander Liu is smart, and he guessed my plan at once." ”
Commander Liu shook his head, in fact, at first he also thought that Xue Qinghe would lead the army to attack the rebel capital, but then he thought about it carefully, during the previous campaign, Xue Qinghe had always adopted the method of besieging the city and sending reinforcements.
There are many rebels who have been eliminated, and they have also relieved their main forces of danger a lot.
And according to Xue Qinghe's character, I'm afraid this time will be the same, after all, this time is even more terrifying than before, and the rebels will definitely not give up their capital, otherwise, then they can only fail.
Spread out the map, and all the maps within a radius of hundreds of miles were in their eyes.
Xue Qinghe pointed to a place: "This place is our first battle." ”
"Yes."
The two nodded, he trusted Xue Qinghe very much, Commander Qin didn't say anything, he had already sworn allegiance to Xue Qinghe, and Commander Liu's words, he didn't forget what Kundera said to himself that day, so he naturally became Xue Qinghe's person.
"Your Highness, do you need ..... the general?"
"No, I'll go to him myself and say it later."
.............
"The capital is besieged, and you and I need to lead the army to rescue the capital as soon as possible."
"However, the imperial army has sent a lot of troops to encircle, and can only find weak points to break through, so that we can find opportunities for backup."
On a straight avenue, as far as the eye could see, it was full of people, some in armor, some in ordinary clothes, but they all had weapons.
And this army was the rebels, who were originally stationed in the north, and because the capital was besieged, they immediately came to support.
The two commanders of the rebels were chatting right away, and while they were talking, the scouts in front also returned.
"But what's unusual?" One of the Commanders asked.
The scout replied, "Back to the two commanders, if it is unusual, no, there are only a small number of Imperial scouts around, and there is no sign of a large army. ”
"Haha," the other younger commander laughed when he heard this, "I said, what danger can there be, you must know that those people are not vegetarians, since they plan to let us go here, there must be no danger." ”
"That's premature." The commander of the cross-eyebrow sword is obviously an old general who has been fighting for many years, so he naturally has a lot of experience, and the young commander next to him was only recently promoted, and he is considered a rising star, but the main thing is that he doesn't have too much experience, so he chose to join forces with him, and then support the capital.
And there is a secret report, if you enter from here, then you must be able to avoid the detection of the imperial army, after all, this road is not easy to walk, and it is naturally unrealistic if it is a large-scale force.
After all, such a large force will definitely be discovered.
All the way forward, I saw a dry riverbed.
"Back to the commander, there was originally a river ahead, but now it has dried up."
The scout replied.
At the moment, it was getting late.
"If we go any further, we will enter the battlefield, we have been marching for several days in a row, why don't we rest here?"
Hearing this, the rebel commander with cross-eyed eyebrows frowned, but when he looked at the situation of the army on his side, he still chose to agree.
......
"Your Highness, as expected, there are rebel reinforcements here."
Hearing Commander Qin's report, the corners of Xue Qinghe's mouth also rose slightly.
"Pass the order, get ready for action tonight." Snow clear river channel.
"Yes."
At the sound of the order, the whole army began to act.
However, this time not all 30,000 people came, but only 10,000, so Commander Liu did not come, only Commander Qin followed.
"Okay, I'll change it back." Xue Qinghe said: "Commander Qin, I'll leave it to you next." ”
"Yes." Commander Qin nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, you will definitely do what Your Highness says, if there is any mistake, I am willing to come and see you." ”
"You don't need that, just do your best." Xue Qinghe interrupted Commander Qin and said, "Remember, what I told you before, those important people, catch them alive." ”
"Okay."
Then Xue Qinghe took advantage of the night to leave here.
However, the place where he went back was still where he was stationed before, and there, Commander Liu waited again early.
"Everything is waiting for the good news from Commander Qin." Xue Qinghe said.
Commander Liu also nodded, after all, he also knew Xue Qinghe's plan, and this time, it was a very secret war of annihilation, if it was completed, it would definitely be a great achievement.
