Li Huai's eyes swept around the crowd, he had always used people without suspicion, and he was sure that there was no one who should not be there.

"How long have we been training in the Liang Army?"

He did not rush to say that he was going to attack the Jingtai area, but first tried to hear whether the soldiers had the will to fight.

"Back to the prince, the Liang Army was formed in the spring, and the recruitment was completed in the summer, and now, it has been trained for three months." Qi Yuanbai replied.

Li Huai nodded lightly and asked, "How is the effect?" ”

"With the teaching of Yang Jiaotou, it is quite effective." Qi Yuanbai said modestly, Yang Dong is the head of the Liang Army, which is good.

But training the army is inseparable from him, a great general.

Li Huai asked, "Is it possible to fight?" ”

Qi Yuanbai and the others were stunned for a moment, and heard that the Liang Army had summoned all the senior officers, and the content of this meeting was set to be top secret.

They had a hunch.

Is there really going to be a war?

Qi Yuanbai didn't dare to be vague about this kind of thing, and said bluntly: "Back to the prince, a small war is enough, but a big war is still lacking in time." ”

The current Liang Army has just trained the soldiers' military literacy and has just begun to train their group combat capabilities.

In particular, the middle and senior command officers do not know enough about the current situation and do not go deep enough with the soldiers.

There is no way to command like an arm.

Moreover, there are still some high-ranking officers in the Liang Army who are studying at the Great Wall.

At present, there are enough officers for training, but once a war breaks out and each performs its own duties, then the senior commanding officers will not be enough.

Ge Liang seized the opportunity and interjected to remind, "Lord, if there is a war, do you want to say hello to the court first?" ”

Although Liangzhou is Li Huai's Liangzhou, and the Liangjun is also Li Huai's Liangjun, after all, it is still the Liangzhou of Yu, and Li Huai is also the king of Yu.

According to common sense, to declare war on a foreign country, you must first submit a war petition to the imperial court, and after the imperial court receives the war petition, it will hold a court meeting to deliberate.

If the imperial court allowed the request for war, a declaration of war would be issued and officials from the military department would be sent to contact them.

Be consistent.

Of course, this is a normal situation, if it is faced with an unexpected situation, such as a sudden invasion of an enemy country.

You can go straight to war.

The problem is, the enemy hasn't invaded yet.

Li Huai tilted his head and thought about it, this is really a problem, he has to find a reasonable reason, lest he have to fight with the people in the court when he gets to.

He had an idea.

"Who said this is a war, this is clearly a conflict!" Li Huai said with a smile, and said this to the imperial court when the time comes.

Whether they can accept this reason or not, that's their business.

"Conflict?"

Everyone's faces changed, and the meaning of this is that they really want to do it.

Li Huai didn't sell it anymore, he directly lifted the black cloth, beckoned everyone to come over, and gathered around the sand table.

He picked up the baton.

Directly pointed to the Jingtai area, then to the Qilian Mountains, Helan Mountain, drew a triangle, and finally pointed to Jingtai, and knocked lightly.

"This place is the throat of the West Sea leading to Mobei, and it is also the only way to enter and exit the Hexi Corridor, and the strength of the surrounding enemy army is less than 10,000 people, and there are less than 100 cannons."

The Western Regions are mainly nomadic, and 10,000 troops have been stationed for a long time, which is actually not a small number, but compared to more than 100,000 Liang troops, it is simply not enough.

The key is that the iron smelting technology in the Western Regions is not good, the industry is underdeveloped, and the number of cannons they have is far inferior to that of the Liang army.

Qi Yuanbai and the others leaned over to look at the new troop arrangement of the sand table, and they were all a little surprised, this arrangement can be said to be ingenious and bold.

"If we control this triangle, then we will have the initiative in the war."

"It can also threaten the Gaochang royal department from the side, and Longxi County can worry about it."

"Control Jingtai, a straight road in the Hexi Corridor, and the cavalry can reach Yangguan in a day!"

There was a heated discussion, and most of them felt that this plan was feasible, but there were still objections to some issues.

"In such an important place, is it true that the Western Regions only has less than 10,000 troops?"

"The Western Regions are good at sports warfare, and you should have heard of their support speed, as long as this side starts fighting, the enemies of the West Sea and the Hexi Corridor will soon rush over."

"I've calculated, the nearest enemy is the main force of the Gaochang Royal Department stationed in the west of Longxi County, and it will be able to reach the battlefield in about four hours."

"If they support, we will send reinforcements, and we will set up an ambush on the road they must pass, which can at least delay the Gaochang royal department for a day."

"If there is one day, it will be enough for us to lay Jingtai, and we can also arrange artillery positions on the mountainsides on both sides of the road."

"With the support of the rangers, the army of the Western Regions will die as many as they come in, and they will be consumed to death."

"After taking Jingtai, there is another benefit, from now on, the Hexi line, except for the western part of Longxi County, is under our control."

"When the time comes, let's see if King Gaochang dares to interfere with our construction of Longxi City."

"Haha!"

“……”

All problems were resolved in the course of controversy, and the most important thing was that they dared to fight and were not afraid of war.

Li Huai felt very relieved.

"If the generals have no objections, then I will begin to assign combat missions."

Without further ado, the fighter plane is fleeting.

Hurry!

"Wait for the order!"

Everyone said in unison.

Ge Liang was still a little worried about the imperial court, but he had already discussed this step, and he couldn't say anything if he had anything to say.

"Obey orders."

Very good.

"General Qi Yuanbai."

"The minister is here."

"You're in charge of this campaign...... No, the commander-in-chief of this conflict, led the Dingxi Army, an artillery battalion of the Shenwei Army, and five thousand bloody wolf hussars to attack Jingtai, and within one day, the battle must be resolved. ”

Nearly 50,000 troops, and a complete artillery battalion, attacked a Jingtai with less than 10,000 people defending.

"It only takes half a day!" Qi Yuanbai said in a loud voice.

Li Huai nodded and continued, "Ge Liang." ”

"The minister is here."

"You are in charge of the logistics of this conflict, and you are in charge of the Liangjun Zhenguo Army in preparation for all-out war."

"Yes!"

"The rest of the generals listen to their commands, but those who do not obey orders, those who delay military aircraft, and those who escape from the battle will be killed!"

"Obey your orders!"

Finished?

Is there something missing?

"Lord Wang, then who is going to help?" Qi Yuanbai asked tentatively.

"I personally led an army and set up a camp in the south of the Jingtai area, in the middle of the road, to block the enemy's support." Li Huai said.

Everyone's faces changed.

King Liang personally sent reinforcements, you must know that the most dangerous and difficult part of the whole battle arrangement is to send reinforcements along the way.

They pouted their butts in unison and arched their hands, "Please take back the prince's fate, and the ministers are willing to go!" ”

"It's not the same for everyone who goes."

Li Huai said very indifferently, "Many people in the court say that although there is a Liang army in Liangzhou, King Liang is a person who has never even seen Huang Xiaoer on the battlefield, and he can't become a climate." ”

"You don't want your king to be laughed at all the time, let's not fight for steamed buns, then we have to prove ourselves a little."

Still refusing to get up.

"This is a military order, this king is the marshal of the Liang army, and he must not disobey the order!" Li Huai said solemnly.

They slowly raised their heads, frowning tightly.

"The minister only needs two hundred cannons, and the rest please stay!" Qi Yuanbai saw that Li Huai had to go, so he forcibly blocked most of his artillery battalion.

A standard artillery battalion of 5,000 people, 1,000 horses, 100 heavy artillery, 400 light artillery, 500 artillery vehicles.

didn't wait for Li Huai to speak.

Qi Yuanbai hurriedly said: "Bring more cannons, which will affect the speed of the march!" ”

Pride!

Li Huai can say anything else, but there is a premise, "You have to ensure that you complete the combat mission on time." ”

"The minister is willing to make a military order!" Qi Yuanbai said firmly.

Very good.

"Then let's do it according to the arrangement, and the time of the attack is set for the early morning of the day after tomorrow." Li Huai gave the final order.

"Yes!"

The generals said in unison.

"Lord Wang, even if it's a conflict, you have to find a reason to conflict with the enemy." Ge Liang said.

It's not simple.

"Let's just say that our herdsmen are lost and want to go to the Jingtai area to investigate." Li Huai said lightly.

“……”

The reason for this...... I can only say that it is too slippery!

The people dispersed one after another, and each made his own preparation.

Li Huai found Li Xin and instructed: "You send some people to keep an eye on Chun Yu Zhaoyang, and if there is a fly, he is not allowed to fly out." ”

After Chun Yu Zhaoyang lost the duel with him, he went back to the Western Regions, and after a month, he came to Liangzhou as an envoy.

Regarding the affairs of the envoys, he did nothing, he just toured the mountains and rivers every day, and occasionally showed favor to Mu Yin.

It's like a gentleman.

But it is still necessary to guard against it, such a big move, if it is discovered and the enemy supports in advance, it will be in vain.

Li Huai didn't dare to delay any longer, and planned to set off overnight and arrive at the ambush site the day first, so that he would have time to set up defenses.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Shangguan's half-figure hidden behind the door on the stairs of the wooden house, with reddened eyes.

"You go and prepare first, and before you go, I want to be alone with the princess for a while." Li Huai commanded.

"Yes!"
