Then Yun Tianjia instructed the three major garrisons of the Xuange Army, the Zhidang Army, and the Yuanyou Army to assemble and stand by;

The four major frontier guards in the east gave up the national customs, leaving only some of the old and weak women and children to receive reinforcements from Aoki State, and the rest of the elite all came to the former marshal's mansion to reorganize and listen to the announcement.

For the state capitals in the occupied areas and the warring areas, such as the Assassin Shi, Sima, and the chief of the soldiers, a policy of pacification was implemented, promising to provide some money, food, weapons, pills, clothing, etc., so that they must hold the city, do everything possible to contain the enemy, buy time for the large army, and wait for the day when the general counteroffensive comes.

The state capitals, counties and former marshal's mansions in the occupied areas are in contact with each other through the Black Spider Guard and the Dragon Armor Army's Wind Brigade Spy Battalion.

The garrison and border guards warmly supported the order of the former marshal's office.

The imperial court is short of politics, the garrison and the border guards have not received full military salaries for more than ten years, the weapons are in disrepair, the elixir is nowhere to be seen, and even the rations need to be solved by themselves.

Although they can still exploit the people in the local area, but when the chaos is together, the people are scattered, and there is no source in the army, and if the court doesn't care anymore, they may have to go to the side of the enemy.

The former marshal's order to them means that their food and clothing have been settled since then, and they no longer have to wander around like wild dogs to forage for food.

However, the assassins, governors, Simas, and soldiers in charge of the states in the occupied areas did not wait for the news that the former marshal's government sent troops to help, and they were somewhat disappointed.

But loss is loss, they also know that the situation is grim, there are too many places where the imperial court needs to use soldiers, it is impossible to treat headaches, foot pain, and save where there is a fire, otherwise they will be led by the enemy by the nose and end up in a fiasco, so they have long been mentally prepared to stick alone.

In addition, the former marshal's office also promised to support a number of money, food and materials, and in the future, as long as they can really keep the news flowing with the former marshal's office, they will no longer fight alone, and with the benefit of the city wall, they will hold on for another year and a half.

So after listening to Yun Tianjia's reassuring words, they were still full of hope in their hearts.

In the end, Yun Tianjia invited Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe, Zhao Donghui and others into the combat command room, and said solemnly: "I talked about logistics work before, and now I will talk about strategic planning, troop layout, and the combat tasks of each department. ”

Pointing to the sand table, he said: "Our strategic goal this time is simply twelve words: 'Drive sheep to the sea, concentrate on encirclement, and annihilate them in one battle'."

You see, there is Aoki Country in the east to help us defend, and there is a princess in the west in person, and the entire war zone is like a north-south passage that is 800 miles wide and about 2,000 miles long, we only need to block the line of Longgan Lake, Shahu Lake, and Nanjin Pass in the lower reaches of the Long River, cut off the road of the eastern and southern bandit armies, and then send an elite division of a hundred battles, starting from Qingzhou and Derenzhou in the north, and slowly advancing to the south, forcing the enemy to Huzhou step by step, and driving them to Nanjin Pass. Then we fought a final decisive battle with the enemy at the reeds south of Nanjin Pass.

In this operation to suppress the enemy, my thinking is to take the Longjia Army as the core, with the brigade as the unit, and divide it into multiple units, which respectively command the localities, guard the key passes and key roads, and play a leading role in command.

First of all, the main general who is responsible for driving the sheep into the sea is, of course, Long Yuandong.

After Long Yuandong and He Dali returned to Lotus Xiangwu, they immediately led the Spear Brigade, the Dadao Brigade, and Li Siyun's Fuhuo Brigade to form a vanguard army with the guard staff of Dugu Wen's waist, and went north to Qingzhou and Derenzhou, selected favorable terrain to station, and mobilized the local state government officials and troops to form a defense line to curb the spread of the Jiugongge bandit army to the northwest. In addition, the 20,000 people of the Yuanyuan Guerrilla Army, the Xuange Army, and the Zhidang Army were all under the command of Long Yuandong, and they were scattered and reorganized on the spot, and the training was strengthened, so that they could finally be like an arm, no different from the Longjia Army. When the time is right, you can attack the enemy. ”

Secondly, Xiong Zhuangzhuang's Giant Axe Brigade, Zhong Dinghe's Heavy Shield Brigade, and Gong Luoluo's Wind Brigade Air Command Battalion were responsible for guarding the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and cutting off the passage for the bandit army to go north and south.

This army has Xiong Zhuangzhuang as the main general, Zhong Dinghe as the deputy general, Zhang Changjian and Zhang Changyu as staff officers, and 20,000 troops from the border and customs have been transferred to enrich it, and unified command, unified training, and unified operations. ”

Third, Feng Asan and Zhao Donghui vigorously organized and trained the naval army in Lotus Xiangwu and Luweidang to cut off the possibility of the bandit army developing in Xiangheli and the sea area. Thoroughly find out the local mountains and rivers landform trends, so as to prepare for the decisive battle.

Fourth, Gong Luoluo led the Wind Brigade Special Battalion and the Espionage Battalion to report to the former marshal's mansion and counsellor the military aircraft.

Fifth, Luo Erniang's baggage brigade continued to develop in Lotus Xiangwu, and the withered leaf Zen master still stayed at the immortal tomb in Hanyuan County, and the two made more gunpowder and firearms, ready to support the frontline at any time. ”

Sixth, 30,000 soldiers drawn from the left and right forbidden armies and the armies of the five central prefectures, after intensive training by the former marshal's office, set up positions in the upper reaches of the Luosha River and Changfeng County, Qingtian County, and Wangjiang County in the east of Huazhou, and together with the Huazhou government army, formed the first line of defense in the east to block the enemy's westward advance.

Seventh, the princess's rear cooperation department, together with the left and right forbidden armies, and the army of the five central states, form the second line of defense in the east, in case there is a loophole in the first line of defense, you can check and fill the gaps as soon as possible.

Although Yun Tianjia finished talking about the entire combat subordinates in one breath, there was a real-life sand table deduction simulation, the ideas were vivid, and the organization was clear, and everyone could understand it.

He Xiaoduo closed her eyes and thought for a moment, suddenly opened her eyes, and said with confidence: "Such a layout can be said to be seamless." It should not be difficult for us to wait for work and hold the passage with our geographical advantages. The greatest pressure was on the vanguard troops of Long Far East and the interception troops of Xiong Zhuangzhuang. Long Yuandong drove the enemy army to the south, and the enemy army would inevitably fight to the death, and I am afraid that every battle would be a vicious and ruthless battle. Sooner or later, Xiong Zhuangzhuang will face the attack of the enemy forces in the north and south, and the difficulties are quite large. The success or failure of this battle all fell on the heads of Long Yuandong and Xiong Zhuangzhuang. ”

He Dali rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I am the best at driving sheep." If the dragon shovel can't be handled, and I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Pi Pi Xiang Zhong Dinghe also echoed: "My heavy shield battalion and giant axe battalion cooperate in the battle, not a day or two, as long as Luo Erniang has enough explosives, let him be attacked from both sides, or ambushed on all sides, we can defend it steadily, so that he has no return." ”

Long Yuandong and Xiong Zhuang Zhuang were naturally more combative and ambitious, and immediately said that they would go up the mountain and go to the sea, go to the soup and fire, overcome all difficulties, not be afraid of sacrifice, and ensure the completion of the task.

Yun Tianjia was worried that the two of them would underestimate the enemy, and repeatedly admonished: "As a vanguard force, Long Yuandong's duty is to 'catch' not 'kill', and all actions must be based on stability first, steady and steady, steady progress, and no recklessness." As a back-up army, Xiong Zhuangzhuang's duty is to 'defend' not to 'attack', and everything is based on defense, and he is determined that Qingshan will not relax, and he will not be able to defend people. No matter how the enemy provokes, resolutely avoid taking the initiative to fight. ”

Long Yuandong and Xiong Zhuangzhuang were cautious and worried, and thought so.

Everyone talked about some more questions, and Yun Tianjia answered them one by one until there was no doubt about the meaning.

He Xiaoduo saw that Wen Yanxin had been silent, and asked, "Uncle Wen, what do you think of Yun Tianjia's strategic layout?"

Wen Yanxin shook his head and praised: "This layout is well-planned, thoughtful, and clear, and there is no omission, even if the enemy has three heads and six arms, he will fall into our trap." Under the command of the princess, the former marshal is attentive and the soldiers are using their lives, which is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for the country!"

This is said in a grand and open manner, without any flaws, Yun Tianjia is not a person who is good at observing words and feelings, but for some reason, he feels that Wen Yanxin said a little insincerely, and behind the praise, there seems to be a trace of loneliness, a trace of jealousy, and even a trace of vigilance.

Yun Tianjia suddenly introspected: "Could it be that after I became the former commander, I was complacent and carried away, what offended him?" Thinking about it, during this period of time, I knew that I had a heavy responsibility, and every word and deed was very low-key and peaceful, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Then Wen Yanxin's emotional reaction is not my own problem.

Perhaps, he has always regarded himself as He Xiaoduo's chief strategist, but now he is compared to me in terms of strategy, and he is a little uncomfortable?

Or, when he saw that I was so trusted by He Xiaoduo, he felt a little unbalanced in his heart?

Regarding this question, Yun Tianjia only flashed his thoughts, and did not think about it deeply.

That night, the former Marshal's Mansion held a banquet to see off the soldiers who were about to go on the expedition.

After the banquet, Yun Tianjia talked with Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe and others all night.

After tonight, they will have to go their separate ways, and Long Yuandong, as the vanguard general of the entire campaign, is the key figure in success or failure, Yun Tianjia must explain all his thoughts to him, so that he can be distracted on the front line and let go of his work.

The military affairs were urgent, and in the next few days, the generals who had gathered in the former marshal's mansion dispersed one after another. Those who are close will leave overnight, and those who are far away will only make a little preparation, and then rush back without stopping.

During the preparation for the war, there were many things in the former marshal's mansion, and Yun Tianjia had to see everything in person, Rao was very energetic, and he felt that he couldn't bear it, it was really one head, two big.

Twenty days later, Gong Luoluo led the Wind Brigade spy battalion and the special battalion to report to the Shuaifu, bringing with him a large number of firearms, explosives and gems to make space storage, and Yun Tianjia was overjoyed.

At this time, the 30,000 elites of the forbidden army on the left and right and the army of the five central states had been drawn out according to the order to complete the assembly.

Yun Tianjia waited for Gong Luoluo to go to the First Star Courtyard to complete the promotion, and he handed over all the internal affairs of the former Marshal's Mansion, as well as the reorganization and training of the new army.

He himself plunged into the newly built alchemy, alchemy, and refining workshops, and spent his days pondering pill crystals, armor equipment, and soul beast taming.
