Chapter 363 The Military and Political Hall is located in an independent courtyard in the palace, and the interior is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back, the vestibule is the office of the personnel of the Military and Political Hall, the atrium is the place where meetings are held, and the residence and dining hall are the residences.

Tang Yin took Qiu Zhen and others to the vestibule and entered the room, which was very busy, dozens of people, each performing their duties, some were talking about military affairs in a low voice, some were sketching maps, writing Wen'an, and some were sending official documents in and out.

Seeing Tang Yin walk in, everyone in the Military and Political Hall immediately put down the work at hand, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Weichen see the king!"

Tang Yin waved his hand to everyone, signaling them to be exempt, and then asked, "Where is Lord Gu?"

"Weichen is here!" With a cautious answer, a middle-aged man in his early forties quickly ran out of the back room, with a medium build, a white face and a black beard, and the appearance of a pedant who had read poetry. This person's name is Tanihara, and he is currently the general counselor of the Military Administration Hall, that is, the person in charge of the Military Administration Hall.

Tanihara was born in the Military Academy of the Wind Country, before joining the Military Academy, he had been subordinate to the direct army, serving as a military strategist, and later when the Wind Country established the Military Academy, he took the initiative to ask Mai Ying to withdraw from the army and apply for admission to the Military Academy.

At that time and even now, people who have become strategists rarely choose to retire from the army and further their studies, after all, after coming out of the military academy, they are assigned to the army or become strategists, and the result is the same, but they have to waste a few years of time in vain.

In a country like the Wind Country, where years of war have been fought, wasting a few years is equivalent to wasting countless opportunities to advance, so no one would be stupid enough to do this, and Tanihara is undoubtedly an outlier.

Of course, his choice is undoubtedly extremely correct, when he was in the army, he already had a wealth of practical combat experience, in the military academy, he systematically learned a variety of military concepts, the combination of theory and practice in him was the most perfect embodiment, and it is precisely because of this that Tang Yin took a fancy to him among many talents, let him serve as the general counselor of the military and political hall.

Now the military administration hall is still a new institution, and his military rank as the general counselor of the military administration hall is not high, but not long after, when the military administration hall became the general planning place for various military operations of the wind army, Tanihara also rose to the top and became one of the core figures of the wind country military.

Tang Yin nodded at Gu Yuan and said, "Lord Gu, take out the battle plan of the Military Administration Hall and show it to Zuo Xiang and the generals." ”

"Yes, the king!" Gu Yuan bowed and bowed, and said sideways, "The king and the rank generals please speak in the inner room!"

Following Tanihara into the inner room, everyone raised their eyes to see, this is the inner room, but the area is not smaller than the outside, but the range of activities is pitiful, mainly the center of the room is occupied by two long tables.

On these two tables, there are intricately made models, mountains, rivers, forests, and lifelike cities. After everyone saw it, they all secretly praised in their hearts: What a beautiful sand table! They basically participated in the first battle of Feng Mo, and they immediately judged by just looking at the appearance of the sand table, one of them is Surabaya County of Mozambique, and the other is Zeping County of Mozambique.

There is no need to look at the battle plan of the military and political hall, just look at the two sand tables placed, everyone already knows in their hearts that it seems that the second time they will use troops against Mo, the main focus is still on Surabaya and Zeping two counties.

Soon, Tanihara took out the plan drawn up by the Military Administration Hall and handed it to everyone to see, and the content in it was the preliminary plan of the Feng Army's battle against Mo.

Although there are sand tables of Surabaya and Zepyeong counties in the inner room, Surabaya is not touched on at all in the plan, and it is mainly aimed at the combat operations of the Feng army in Zepyeong County.

After everyone looked at it from beginning to end, Xiao Muqing looked suspicious and asked, "According to this strategy, is our army going to give up Surabaya and only fight a decisive battle with the Mo army in Zeping?"

Tang Yin didn't speak, he looked at Gu Yuan silently, and when he answered, the question Xiao Muqing asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.

Gu Yuan nodded and said: "Now that Mozambique has deployed heavy troops in Surabaya and Zeping counties, and has Mozambique's right-hand men to defend it, if our army attacks Surabaya and Zeping at the same time, and we have to fight with Mozambique in Ningdi, then our country has become a three-front battle, and we will repeat the mistake of the last unsuccessful war." Based on the lesson of the last time, the Military Administration Hall suggested that Surabaya and Zeping should take one of them, and our army should concentrate all its forces and storm one place, and the first battle would be a decisive battle, so as to achieve victory with one blow as much as possible!"

Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment, noncommittal, such a large-scale macro tactics and tactics were not what he, the commander of the army, was good at.

He asked again: "Even if Surabaya and Zeping have to choose one or the other, then why choose Zeping instead of Surabaya? You must know that Lord Lu was killed in Surabaya, and our army sent troops to Surabaya, and the soldiers all had a heart of revenge and shame, and their morale was definitely high. ”

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "General Xiao, in fact, there is no consensus within the Military Administration Hall about whether our army's first attack will be to attack Surabaya or Zeping. According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, Surabaya is certainly an important place in Mozambique, and its county head is certainly the culprit who killed Lord Lu, but after all, it is located in the northwest of Mozambique, originally away from the capital of Mozambique, even if our army knocks down Surabaya in one go, it will not pose a fatal threat to Mozambique, and Zeping County is different, it is located in the center of Mozambique, southeast and northwest, extending in all directions, as long as our army occupies Zeping, it is equivalent to tearing the defense line of Mozambique from the center, which is not only a heavy blow to the overall morale of Mozambique, but also enables our army to occupy a comprehensive initiative. * Near the capital of Mozambique, it is under the control of our army, which is very beneficial to our army's next operations!"

Xiao Muqing didn't bother to fight Surabaya, he just asked casually, and he listened to Gu Yuan's head and head the way, obviously a Chinese expert, so he didn't say more.

Tang Yin smiled beside him and asked everyone, "What do the generals think of the overall strategy of the Military and Political Hall?"

Xiao Muqing responded: "It is reasonable and well-founded, and the general will think it is feasible." ”

Peng Haochu, Zuo Shuang and other generals also nodded in response: "Fighting Zeping is indeed a superior move, at least, Zeping's strategic location is much more important than Surabaya." ”

It is reported that the garrison of the Mozambican army in Zeping is no less than 400,000, far more than Surabaya, and it is not easy to fight Zeping, and its battle losses are bound to be very large. Liang Qi said with some concern.

Tanihara said: "At this point, the Military Administration Hall also held a collegial discussion and decided to use the Hundred Battles Army as the vanguard of our army to attack the Battle of Zeping. ”

Everyone present looked at each other after hearing this, and no one immediately spoke. The decision of the Junzheng Hall to send the Hundred Battle Army to attack Zeping may have been a tactical strategy, but it was probably more of a factor to curry favor with the king.

The Hundred Battles Army is a pure army of chaste people, there are 400,000 people up and down, and such a large army of chastity will undoubtedly become a piece of heart disease that makes the king uneasy. Sending a hundred battle troops to fight Zeping, one is to verify the combat power of the Zhenren, and the most important thing is to consume the hundred battle army and alleviate the king's concerns about it.

This is obviously a strategy that kills multiple birds with one stone, and it seems that the people in the military and political hall are not in vain!

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Yuan's opinion, Tang Yin nodded and said: "This method is good! There are 400,000 people in the Hundred Battle Army, and it is also a Zhenren Army, and they have always been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, so it is most suitable for them to fight the tough battle of Zeping." ”

Liang Qi smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he asked, "I don't know the reinforcements in the rear, how did the military administration hall arrange it?"

"The Plains Army and the Flying Dragon Army are combined into the rear army, if the Hundred Battles Army loses the battle in the front, the Plains Army and the Flying Dragon Army can be reinforced, and the other ......" Speaking of this, Gu Yuan looked at Tang Yin and whispered: "Since the cavalry of the Mocan State is very powerful, the best way for our army is to use heavy cavalry to overcome it, so in the battle of Zeping, the Ninth Army may also be used." ”

Since the Ninth Legion is currently the only cavalry legion in the Wind Country, it is very precious in the eyes of everyone, so it is very cautious to send the Ninth Legion to the battlefield.

Tang Yin smiled when he heard this, and said: "The establishment of the legion is for fighting, not for people to watch or scare people. This battle against Mozambique can only be won, not defeated, not to mention the use of the Ninth Legion, even if it is the strength of the whole country, it will not hesitate!"

Gu Yuan's spirits perked up and said, "If the king has this determination, the ministers can also let it go." ”

Tang Yin said: "This time, I still have to personally conquer Mozambique, you have to remember that the direct army will also be arranged in the army of the expedition." ”

"This ......" Gu Yuan did not respond immediately, the battle against Mo is not a small war, it stands to reason that such a large-scale national war, the monarch is not suitable to participate in personally, in case of an accident on the battlefield, it will be a national turmoil, the whole army is in chaos, and the risk is too high.

Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Tang Yin asked, "What's the matter?" Lord Gu thinks that this king can't go on the expedition?"

"No, no, no! Wechen didn't dare! It's just that Wechen felt that the journey was far away, and the king was afraid that he would ...... Delay the government!" Gu Yuan came out of the army directly under him, of course, he knew Tang Yin's personality and knew that he liked to charge into battle, but it was not easy to say it too bluntly, so he could only persuade him around the bend.
