"Xiao Lang, the first phase of the six armies has arrived at Muling Pass. A young man next to Yang Heng said in a deep voice: "But the logistical baggage has not been able to keep up, and it is stranded north of Yishui." ”

"Friendship, what is the reason?" Yang Heng flashed a trace of worry between his eyebrows.

"The road was cut off by a flash flood in the upper reaches of Mushui due to heavy rain, and now the master is rushing to repair it overnight, and it will take two days to repair the ,......."

Li Fang, the word is a friend, Yang Heng was a student of the Avenue Academy at the same time, and later joined the student army together, but Yang Heng and Meng Chong were the first to debut, and Li Fang went to the latter batch, but he was also the best among this batch of students, so after a short period of training in the Wuning Left Army, he was also transferred to the General Staff.

There are many aspects involved in fighting this battle, first of all, the problem of logistical support, if an army of more than 50,000 people is going to enter the territory of Qingzhou, transportation is a great troublesome matter.

Now there are two routes to transport grain and grass, one is to go through Laiwu, pass through the south of Zizhou into Qingzhou, and the other is to go north from Muling Pass directly into Qingzhou.

From Muling Pass, go directly north to Qingzhou, which is the definite route for the army to march, but the line of Muling Pass is all mountainous, and the transportation of materials is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Yu Mingzhen was quite prescient, and after taking Yizhou, he began to recruit a large number of displaced people who went south to repair and rebuild the road from Yishui County to Mulingguan in the form of work-for-relief.

However, from Mulingguan to the north to Qingzhou this line can not be counted on, although this line is a traditional business road, but the road is difficult to travel, and the second is that there are many bandits in the mountainous areas, so although there are business travelers in the past, but don't count on the road construction, Qingzhou has never had this plan.

However, since it is a trade route after all, ordinary caravans can still pass, but the speed of travel and the volume of transportation will be greatly reduced.

A small red flag was inserted on the Muling Pass, and then a small yellow flag was inserted on the Mushui waterway between Yishui and Muling Pass, and the various cities and passes on the entire sand table were marked with this small flag, plus rivers and mountains, city passes, forests, lakes and swamps, at a glance, which can make people understand the changes in the situation of the entire battlefield most intuitively.

Such a grand battle is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for the people of the entire staff to exercise, and the staff officers and practitioners under the entire staff department are all enthusiastic, and the intelligence collection and collation, analysis and judgment, simulation and deduction, and emergency preparedness all indicate that this war will be the most critical and exemplary case since the establishment of the Privy Council Staff of the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army.

If this war can be fought well, it will also mean that the General Staff will officially start its signboard, of course, provided that the planning and deployment of the General Staff play its due role in this war.

However, whether it is Wang Miao, Yang Heng, Li Fang and others, they are all full of confidence in this.

In their view, this process of repeated deduction through the aggregation of intelligence from all sides, taking into account various unexpected factors, can greatly improve the efficiency of the advance and combat deployment of various armies.

Although the war is still in the preparatory stage, both the logistical preparations and the deployment of the army have begun to show the advanced nature of this unprecedented management method, even if there will be all kinds of problems here, but this cannot hide its shining advantages.

"Xiaolang, Sun Chong and Zhao Zidan haven't come back yet?" Zhang Ting, who had been looking down to read the intelligence summary, didn't look up, and asked directly.

"Back to my lord, Sun Chong and they went to coordinate with the logistics department for the follow-up replenishment of mules and horses, the mule and horse team collected from Fei County has not yet arrived, and the logistics department has not yet said that the military aircraft has been delayed, and someone must be responsible for this!" Yang Heng's tone was a little angry, "Zidan, they went to the Daozang Material Office, and the various equipment that the second echelon needs to carry are defective, and the Material Officer Office needs to send some more personnel to repair and maintain the ,......."

Yang Heng responded in an orderly manner, which made Zhang Ting very satisfied.

To tell the truth, he was very reluctant to suddenly transfer him to the General Staff Headquarters to preside over the work at the beginning.

It's not that he doesn't look down on this job, after all, it is also the important task of controlling the overall situation, he is more willing to build the army he leads first, and after fighting a few decent battles, he will consider others, but the order of the Privy Council is unconditional, and he can only obey.

However, after coming to the General Staff for a period of time, Zhang Ting gradually adapted to and liked this job.

The performance of the little cubs under his command was greatly beyond his expectations.

Before, he still looked down on these little guys who were said to have been in the Great Dao School and the Xuejun for a few years, although he was not much older than them, but most of these guys had no foundation, most of them were from poor families, and even many of them were orphans, and they all began to collect after the county prince took the solid beginning before they began to study and fight.

In just a few years, how much can these guys be edified, and can they be reborn?

But the reality soon overjoyed him.

The performance of these guys is really remarkable, especially people like Yang Heng, Li Fang and Sun Chong, not only are they quite spiritually perceptive, their learning ability and ability to touch and bypass are very strong, but these guys have more or less spent some time in the study army and the army.

It can be seen that these guys have not been in vain during that period of time in the army, and they also have a relatively deep understanding of the situation of the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army, and this is precisely the most important factor in being a staff officer of the General Staff.

The positions of the General Staff Department are divided into trainee engagement, engagement, reserve staff officer, and staff officer, and then up to the second seat of the staff officer and the first seat of the staff officer.

At present, Zhang Ting is presiding over the work of the staff department as the temporary staff officer of the staff department, and there is only one staff officer and two reserve staff officers in the entire staff department, and there is no one, but there are more than ten people in the apprenticeship, basically all of whom are played by Yang Heng and his group.

"Xiaolang, you should also take some specific situations into account in advance. Zhang Ting can understand Yang Heng's eagerness.

It was time for the General Staff to show its demeanor when it was finally time to catch up with such a big war, and they could hardly tolerate any human factor that might bring uncertainties to the war.

However, Yanyunyi Sanzhou has just entered, and from a legal point of view, the imperial court has not yet recognized Huaiyou's rule over it, and Zhu Mao has neglected to govern the local government affairs of these three states for many years, so that the local management ability here is almost paralyzed.

Now that Huaiyou has taken over, it is suddenly necessary to establish these, how can it be so easy?

This can be regarded as a situation when Yu Mingzhen has already begun to make some preparations before, and if he changes a place or person, he is afraid that it will be even hotter.

"Yes. Yang Heng bit his lip.

"Xiaolang, what was the situation in Yizhou before, the counties were almost in a state of erosion and paralysis before, you should know that when the local government was first established, how could the sorting out of the affairs of all parties be done overnight? Some counties have not even set up shelves, and there are not so many officials to fill them, and there are not enough people who want them, and those who want to come dare not ask for them, and they would rather lack than indiscriminate, but they have also brought a lot of trouble, so in the future, we must take these local factors into account in the plan and reserve some leeway, otherwise it will be too tight, and a ring will fall off, which will cause the collapse of the whole plan. ”

Hearing Zhang Ting's tone, there was no taste of resentment, but there was some excuse, Yang Heng's heart was also complicated, after all, his group was still too young, although he had been in the army for some time, but the time was too short, and local affairs were even more lacking, Zhang Ting, a child of a family, had a lot of contact with all kinds of officials when he was in Daliang, and he was no stranger to local affairs。

He had even already made a decision, that is, after several training sessions in the General Staff, he would go down to various armies to exercise, and if he had the opportunity, he would even ask him to be given some opportunities to go to the local areas to polish for a period of time, so as to better understand the operation mode of the local government, so that the General Staff could better obtain the cooperation of the local authorities in planning in the future.

"The subordinate understood. ”

"Well, Xiaolang, you have done a very good job, take the words of the county prince, the staff is a new thing, well, everyone still has to feel the stones to cross the river, try to come, there are some things that do not understand or doubt, you have to boldly put forward, a certain is also a novice, but a few years older than you, slightly more knowledgeable than you. Zhang Ting paused, "By the way, how is the analysis and deduction of the senior staff officers?"

Huaiyou's large-scale military attack can't hide people, whether it's against Haimi Erzhou or Qingzhou, such a large-scale action, the feudal domains will have a large number of scouts to spy on intelligence, and then they will respond according to the situation of each domain.

Although it is expected that the first phase of the war can be ended within a month, the subsequent changes are not easy to predict, so once the war is in full swing, what is the attitude of the various feudal lords, it is necessary to predict, and then it is necessary to make preparations according to the attitude of the enemy.

"The first phase of the analysis report of the senior staff officers has come out, and they are still docking the recent intelligence with Wuwentang, and the second phase of the response strategy is still being deduced, but it should mainly focus on the direction of Nanyang and Caizhou, especially Caizhou. ”

Although Yang Heng is only engaged in apprenticeship, Zhang Ting attaches great importance to him, and he also knows that even the county prince appreciates this son very much, so he naturally has to deliberately cultivate it.

"Caizhou? Why Caizhou, not Nanyang? Do they have a basis for prejudgment?"

Zhang Ting was a little surprised, in his opinion, the possibility of Nanyang should be greater, especially when Nanyang occupied Gwangju in the early stage, although it stopped temporarily, as long as there is a chance, it will definitely pounce and take a bite.
