Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. This is a literary point of view to illustrate the knowledge of geography, that is, the closer to the north, the less obvious spring is. The spring breeze can't even blow through the Yumen Pass, so where can Yannan Road next to the Yumen Pass be warm~

Today, it is the last council before the Northern Expedition, and it will finally decide all matters of the Northern Expedition, so all the generals will arrive in Meng Li's Hou Mansion in unison, unless they are on duty.

Looking at the addition of Li Cunxiao, the god of war, and Tang Hui, a young general of Qu A, it was an increasingly large and powerful lineup, Meng Li was really happy. He has transformed from an ordinary little ** silk to a big tyrant who now sits on a road and constantly fights for territory and population, but he has completed a shocking reversal, and he can be regarded as a legend!

"吭吭~"

Looking at the jubilant scene below the generals who had just passed the New Year and still retained the joy of the year, Meng Li had to clear his throat to make them realize that his lord was about to express his opinion.

Sure enough, there were no stupid people who could sit in this hall below, all of them were human spirits, and they closed their mouths when they heard Meng Li's dry cough, and saluted to their lords and listened.

"Lone knows that the public will have a very comfortable New Year, because Lone's winter training has finally stopped because of the blizzard, right~"

As a qualified leader, you must be able to control the atmosphere of the venue every time. However, Meng Li, who has been the lord for four years, is deeply aware of it, and his opening words are to guide the parliament to a relaxed and cheerful direction.

"Haha~"

The laughter of the generals below also verified Meng Li's talent as a speaker. To tell the truth, for generals, winter training is really a chore for them, because their military literacy must mean that they will not be passive as long as they accept orders, and in the usual winter, considering various climatic reasons, generally no one will start a war on this day, so winter has become a default date for the generals of various countries to recuperate, but Meng Li has deprived them of this last good day, and in the hearts of some people, I am afraid that it is really hateful~

"Well, there is no need to talk about the effect of winter training, and you all have a number in your hearts. This meeting was to announce the transfer of troops and horses for the next Northern Expedition. ”

After the atmosphere was relaxed, it was time to be a little nervous, so at this moment, Meng Li's tone was stern, which made the generals below put away their smiling faces and stare at Meng Li with their expectant eyes.

You must know that although it is said that Meng Li personally led the troops to the expedition this time, it is impossible for him to lead so many soldiers, horses and infantry together, so the generals below have expectations.

Who wrote history for 10,000 years? Eight thousand miles away to find a marquis! Every general has their own pride, they firmly believe that no matter how difficult this battle is, their big group will win, so the higher the position and the more independent military power in this battle represents the merits after this war, how can they not pay attention to it?

"Where is Chen Qingzhi?"

Glancing at the expectant eyes of the generals in the hall, Meng Li nodded with satisfaction. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who does not want to make contributions is not a good general! However, the burning eyes of the generals who were expected to gain a lot in the war told Meng Li: "They are not afraid of war, and they are very eager for war!" ”

"The last general!"

Although he was confident that his ability to command troops might be able to obtain the position of commander all the way in this battle, he still had a little worry in his heart. In his opinion, Zhang Liao's commander is not a little weaker than him, not to mention that he also has direct soldiers and horses, the powerful wolf cavalry; Xie Shi is also a bit possible, after all, he has accumulated enough prestige in the army after being stationed in Yannan Fortress for three years, and the ability of Xie Xuan, a disciple of the Xie family, is also extraordinary, and it is also possible that his uncle and nephew will lead the army together; There is also Meng Zongzheng, who is capable enough, and the four sons are also outstanding among their peers, and it is a beautiful conversation for father and son to go into battle together.

But in this meeting, Meng Li still called out his life first, which made him feel a burst of excitement and pride, which shows that the lord still recognizes my ability and trusts me!

"Chen Qingzhi, I ordered you to order 10,000 elite cavalry from the 30,000 army, and allocate 500 wolf cavalry to you as your personal guard."

Here I want to talk about the situation of Meng Li's cavalry, the allocation of the capital and the accumulation of Yannan Road, coupled with the fact that Meng Li has been buying horses from various small tribes in the grassland or killing people to take horses for three years, Meng Li, who is white-headed, finally saved more than 30,000 war horses. Among them, 20,000 war horses were allocated to the 30,000 newly refined army, so that 15,000 cavalry were trained, plus the one man and two horses of the Modao Army, the Wolf Cavalry, and the Tiger Guard, it was almost consumed. In the end, the 30,000 army still had 15,000 famous foot soldiers, and they wanted to run the grassland~

"Thank you, lord!"

Chen Qingzhi, who was moved by Meng Li's trust and love, bowed deeply. His family knows his own affairs, and his own force is really not worthy of his commanding ability, in case he encounters some strong opponents, he still can't take him, and he may be beheaded by others, so the army will collapse. Therefore, the 500 wolf cavalry that Meng Li equipped himself with was very important.

"Xie Shi, where is Xie Xuan?"

Now that the atmosphere of arranging the battle plan is getting stronger and stronger, saying anything more will make him seem frivolous.

"The last general!"

The two looked at each other a little helplessly, in this case, they must be Chen Qingzhi's deputy instead of leading the army alone.

"You wait for the two of you to assist Ziyun in commanding the army!"

Although he saw the reluctance in the hearts of the two, Meng Li still ordered. There can be dissatisfaction in this group, but their own majesty is absolutely unquestionable and denied!

"喏~"

Sure enough, the two of them who guessed correctly were ordered to be Chen Qingzhi's deputy.

"Chen Qingzhi, Xie Shi, and Xie Xuan are lonely and ordered you to quickly gather your troops and horses to attack first, remember one thing, quickly! When the Northern Xiongnu did not react, they should go all the way to defeat their scattered tribes and weaken their strength to eventually gather into a large army! Wait for the time! ”

"Well, the last general will live up to the trust of the lord!"

The three of them shouted with the arrogance of battle in their chests. In this battle, they are the vanguard of the army, and they have an important mission, so there is no room for error! It's a test for them, and it's a good time for them to make a difference!

"Well, step aside~"

After waving his hand, the three vanguard officers who were not strong in force but who were extremely good in command stepped back, glanced at the generals who were still gearing up and eager to try, and continued to give orders.

"Where is Meng Zongzheng?"

"The last general!"

At this time, Meng Zongzheng, who heard Meng Li's name, secretly responded happily. The main and deputy generals of the first army in front have been arranged, and now they are estimated to be the commanders all the way~

"Lone orders you to gather two thousand cavalry from the remaining thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and six thousand infantry as one army. Step by step, follow behind Ziyun to sweep away those tribes that were left behind or scattered by Ziyun, remember, be careful! ”

In Chinese history, the Song Dynasty has never had an organized cavalry since it lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Meng Zongzheng and his awesome son Meng Gong only relied on infantry to fight the Jin State and Mongolia, and they were really good commanders of the infantry army, and it was a waste not to let them command the infantry army. Considering the pursuit of the grassland, Meng Li still equipped them with 2,000 cavalry.

"喏~"

When Meng Zongzheng heard that this was indeed the case, he hurriedly took the order happily.

"Where are Meng Jing and Meng Gong?"

"The last general!"

The two of them came out to answer. They already have the consciousness of being their father's lieutenant, but there is nothing superfluous.

"You wait for the two of you to be your father's lieutenant generals, study hard!"

Meng Gong is the handsome talent he is looking forward to the most, and he can reuse it as soon as he can reuse it if he smooths out the edges and corners early.

"喏~"

This is the situation of the two-way army discussed by Meng Li, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu. Chen Qingzhi, as a veteran, is also the commander of the cavalry, and it is certain that he should be the commander of the cavalry. Considering the talents of the children of the Xie family and the children of the Meng family, in the end, the three of them decided to promote a Meng family who only developed in the army as the commander of the first army. On the one hand, their military talent is indeed better than that of the children of the Xie family, and secondly, there is already a Xie An who is in a high position in politics, and it is really not good to let them be in charge of the military alone!

"Guo Jia and Xu Shu joined the army, and the remaining generals followed the pace of Lonely!"

Listening to Meng Li's final verdict, Zhang Liao still sighed secretly, but he still responded with the generals.

This is one aspect of the expedition, and the base camp also needs to be manned.

"An Shi sits in Yangping City to prevent the chaos of the young people! Meng Ying sits in the Yumen Fortress as the chief logistics officer of the whole army to dispatch grain and grass! ”

"喏~"

The two of them got up and said.

In this way, the Northern Expedition was decided in the hall of Meng Li's Hou Mansion, and the rest was for the army to set out!
