Chapter 26 Expedition to the Turks
"Also, we can order Meng Huo, Wutu Gu, and Zhu Rong to lead the 150,000 soldiers of the barbarians to set off with us. When we began to set up the "Taiji Bagua Array", we first went to the mountains near the Turkic garrison and set up an ambush.
When we trapped the Turkic army in formation, all the barbarian soldiers immediately began to attack the Turkic garrison, striving to annihilate all the Turkic garrisons in one battle. ”
Zhuge Liang listened to Guo Jia's tactical advice, and then began to add.
"I propose to attack the camp of the Western Turkic Turkic Khan first, and after we have destroyed one of the camps, we will immediately implement a plan of great encirclement of the northern Turkic camp where the Turkic Khan is located.
Before the Turki Khan's subordinates are completely wiped out, we must not let any rumors of his subordinates spread out of our encirclement, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Jieli Khan in the southeast and prevent the Turkic thieves in the southeast from jumping over the wall. Zhou Yu continued on the side.
"Lord, there are two more important things, we need to go and handle them right away!" Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Xiaomin, and then said:
"The first thing is that we should form another 20,000-strong local garrison force to defend Dawn Village. After all, as there are more and more thieves and the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, almost all of our Dawn Legion's future battles will be dispatched. In the future, we will have to leave one person in our staff headquarters to take turns in the villages, after all, we must take precautions before they happen!"
Seeing that cold sweat gradually broke out on Huang Xiaomin's head, Zhuge Liang continued:
"Lord, the blueprint of the 'Lingyun Pavilion' that is rewarded for today's village upgrade needs to be built immediately! After all, from ancient times to the present, all wars are full of uncertainty. If the "Lingyun Pavilion" is built one day earlier, the generals will have an extra life guarantee one day earlier!"
Huang Xiaomin's bean-sized cold sweat kept flowing out of his forehead, and he thought in his heart: Today, because he thought of the huge threat of foreign thieves, he saw that the time was pressed and the decision he made without authorization actually had such a big loophole!
"Okay! Wait a minute, after we finish discussing, we will go out and handle these two things immediately!" Huang Xiaomin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded and said to Zhuge Liang.
Seeing that Huang Xiaomin realized his mistake and humbly accepted his opinion, Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and then said:
"Wait a minute, everyone go out and finish these two things, and then gather all the soldiers of the Dawn Legion to the central square of the village. Tell you of our deliberate decision, and get ready to go on the march, and tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the morning, the army will set off!"
After everyone finished deliberating, they came out one after another. Everyone came to the side of the barracks first, and after Huang Xiaomin finished manifesting the "Lingyun Pavilion", they came to the central square in the center of the village.
Zhang Fei went to ring the big bronze bell hanging on the edge of the square, which had become 100 meters high, and gathered all the villagers.
Huang Xiaomin told all the villagers about the decision they had discussed, and told everyone to prepare for the army after they returned. Then Huang Xiaomin called Dian Wei and Xu Chu to select 20,000 Huaxia villagers, and immediately went to the Huaxia military camp to transfer jobs and form the garrison of Chenxi Village.
The guards were handed over to Dian Wei and Xu Chu to lead in turn, and from then on they were responsible for the protection of the villages of Dawn Village.
An hour later, when everything was done, it was about eight o'clock in the evening.
Huang Xiaomin said goodbye to everyone, returned to the village chief's mansion, jumped into the large pool in the backyard and took a bath, and then immediately went to bed. In order to refresh your spirits and prepare for an unprecedented battle that begins tomorrow.
At half past four o'clock the next morning, Huang Xiaomin got up and freshened up, and after a while, he went out and came to the village square.
I saw only hundreds of large lanterns hanging around the square, glowing red, illuminating the main square as if it were daytime. The square was crowded with people, but everyone had already arrived.
Zhang Fei was taking the 10,000 soldiers of his headquarters to pull three kinds of vehicles from the barracks to the square with spirit beast war horses. Other generals, with their soldiers, began to load various vehicles with different military supplies.
As the saying goes, "there is strength in numbers". Under the constant busyness of 280,000 people, including barbarian soldiers, after about twenty minutes, everything was ready.
I saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two big men, who found Zhou Yu as a witness and began to draw lots. It turned out that the two had a dispute over who would stay and lead the garrison troops to stay in the village, so they had to find someone to be the referee to draw lots.
After a while, I saw Dian Wei looking up and laughing, and Xu Chu stomped his feet in place, remorseful.
Huang Xiaomin looked a little funny, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Xu Chu: "It doesn't matter, the two of you will take turns staying in the village, and next time it will be Dian Wei's turn." Besides, as long as the village is upgraded again, and there are more generals, you can leave the garrison and go to war everywhere. ”
Xu Chu put away his annoyance after hearing this, and glared at Dian Wei with big copper bell-like eyes, Dian Wei looked even more proud, and smiled more and more happily.
Ignoring these two fools, Huang Xiaomin walked to Zhuge Liang and them, and just wanted to ask, he heard Zhuge Liang say: "All preparations have been made, and the whole army can set off immediately, this time Guo Jia will stay in the village, and Zhou Yu and I will go out with the army."
Guo Jia and Zhou Yu and I have already discussed, and after we set out on the expedition, Guo Jia will be responsible for selecting a thousand heralds from the guarding troops, so that they can contact each other at any time. ”
Seeing that Zhuge Liang had arranged all the affairs in an orderly manner, Huang Xiaomin was greatly satisfied: "With such a demonic existence, it will be too easy for me in the future!"
With Zhuge Liang's order, all the soldiers began to line up. At the time of a stick of incense, 280,000 troops, including 150,000 soldiers of the barbarians, lined up in a neat military formation, standing in the middle of the square silently and majestic.
I saw the military flag of the Dawn Legion held by Zhou Yu in his hand, which was made by the life master of the carpenter workshop and rushed out overnight, waved, and in addition to the 20,000 garrison troops left behind, the 260,000 army began to set off.
Under Zhuge Liang's strict orders, the army quietly and silently marched in a hurry along the way. Fearing to alarm the Turkic bandits, the army had no mounts or pets, so they strode forward.
After more than an hour, the army came to the vicinity of the western Turkic garrison, which had been negotiated long ago. Seeing that the sky had begun to brighten, Zhuge Liang immediately began to arrange.
