Chapter 408: Jia Xu enters the military plane
In the military aircraft province, Wu Zhenqiang held on to the last bit of spirit, and after informing Lei Changye of the situation in Shazhou two years ago, he finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell asleep in Bai Yinyi's bed on duty in the Protector's Mansion.
It was through his report that Lei Changye adjusted the performance picture in the Prancing Circus, rendering a scene of the end of the world, and increasing the sense of urgency of all the people who entered the painting.
In fact, after his analysis, Zhang Yichao's troops attacking Guazhou should have been forced to withdraw to Shazhou by now, relying on Shazhou's city defenses to resist the siege of Xihu. Because Shazhou surrendered after reaching an agreement with Xihu, the city defense facilities were all there, and Xihu did not dismantle them.
Zhang Yichao's martial arts are world-famous, and there are many masters trained by Turing Temple under his command, and Hong Wei is a good hand at purging monks and soldiers, and it is still possible to defend Shazhou City for a year or two.
But what he didn't expect was that Zampu Siwei personally went down to the plateau to fight Shazhou. At present, the domestic situation in Xihu is rather tight, and the contradictions between politics and religion are extremely great. The hostility between Xihu Toutuo (Master Wanzang) and the royal family became more and more serious. If the four guards of Zampu leave the royal capital, the king of Zampu supported by Toutuo may not escape the killing of other royal families who hate Buddha unless they hide in Wanzang Temple.
However, Xihu is a people who rely on foreign expansion to eat. Once there is a riot in the occupied territory, which affects the rule of the empire, even if you don't want to fight for the throne, you must use a thunderous posture to quell the chaos and protect the interests of the empire.
So the departure of the four guards of Zampu is not without reason. But Lei Changye vaguely felt that the old king of Zampu was afraid that he would also be on the royal expedition later.
The four guards of Zampu are not something that the Shazhou Guiyi Army can resist, although there is a city wall defense, time must not drag on too long. It has been two years since Wuzhen came to Chang'an. There is really not much time left for Lei Changye to go to the rescue.
Lei Changye thought of Jia Xu.
Jia Xu traveled thousands of miles from Hedong to Chang'an to find him to offer an airdrop to Shazhou, hoping to take this opportunity to open a trade route from Chang'an to the Western Regions, which happened to meet the urgent needs of the Shazhou rebels. Lei Changye felt that he would take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely subdue Jia Xu, so that he would be willing to become his advisor.
So that night, he personally went to Jia Xu's guest room in the Flying Fish Lady's boat and invited him to the Protector's Mansion to discuss the military aircraft together.
Lei Changye personally invited him, which gave him unprecedented face. Jia Xu felt embarrassed even if he wanted to be reserved, and hurriedly came to the military aircraft provincial office with him.
At this moment, Qiu Feiying led Meng Xun, Qian Suan, Dong Yan, and Zhao Huan to wait in the office. Pharmacist, Ye Luoting, Yu Xuanji, Zixin, Mi Zhu, Kuang Zhang, Dongfang Shuo, Mao Sui, Pang Hengyi, Jiang Yanyi, Su Daji and other high-level officials of the Wumeng also came to the hall early to stand by.
These people flocked to see the Prancing Circus performance in the picture box. Lei Changye has already staged three major battles with Xihu in the Prancing Circus, and the pre-war mobilization has reached the extreme. These people were familiar with all the processes in the Prancing Circus, and everyone gathered in the hall at this moment was extremely quiet. Because they know what to do next.
Jia Xu came to the military aircraft provincial office and saw this scene, and sighed in his heart. Lei Changye got too many things from the Prancing Circus. The rapid formation of the army of Bai Yin's righteous servants, the rapid cultivation of important generals, and the advance rehearsal layout of all important scenes of a war all rely on a big drama.
This must make many famous military commanders so envious and jealous that they can't sleep.
"Ladies and gentlemen, because Shazhou has now fallen into the hands of our Tang people, the deployment of the previous three Prancing Circus in the Military Aircraft Province needs to be corrected. This time, instead of spending time building an army in Chang'an, we sent a vanguard force to airdrop Shazhou to assist the Guiyi army in defending as suggested by Mr. Jia Xu. For the specific deployment of troops, it is better to ask Mr. Jia Xu to talk about it. Lei Changye said straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.
Everyone's eyes were on Jia Xu.
Jia Xu felt nostalgic for a while, and the old days when he was in Cao Ying seemed to have come back all of a sudden.
"Mr. Jia, I'm listening. Lei Changye turned around and said softly.
Jia Xu took a deep breath, bowed to Lei Changye with a respectful expression, cleared his throat, and spoke eloquently. Before coming to Chang'an, Jia Xu had a clear understanding of the talent allocation, mobility ability, and superior types of troops on Lei Changye's Flying Fish Lady's ship.
According to the optimal combination, he formulated an airdrop plan with Bai Gu Ji and Yin General suppressing firepower, the exorcist as the forerunner, and Bai Yinyi's army as the backbone, which completely gave full play to the greatest advantages of Wumeng and Baiyin Yicong.
According to his plan, Lei Changye had a hunch that this was not just a battle to defend the city by airdrop, but could also be expanded into a war of annihilation and a quick decisive battle at any time, and even had a chance to deal with the four guards of Zampu with a short assault.
But Lei Changye's purpose is not just to hold Shazhou. He wanted the entire Hexi Corridor to open up the Silk Road.
Jia Xu had just arrived, and he was just familiar with Lei Changye's troops, so the strategy he thought of was the optimal deployment for a momentary battle, and he didn't have time to think about the long term.
"Mr. Jia's airdrop method is a wonderful idea, if it is implemented successfully, it can hold Shazhou with the slightest loss. After listening to Jia Xu's strategy, Lei Changye stroked his hands and exclaimed.
Everyone in the room nodded. They are all people who know the cards in Lei Changye's hand. But after thinking about it, the strongest strategy they thought of was nothing more than that, and Jia Xu had already summed up the ingenuity in everyone's hearts.
Qiu Feiying and the others were even more shocked when they heard it. They had all played in the Prancing Circus, seen Xihu's troop deployment, and felt that if Jia Xu airdropped Shazhou in this way, as long as someone in the city responded, it would be enough to fight a beautiful battle in which the center blossomed, and then the results of the battle were expanded in all directions, and all the grievances suffered in the previous three Prancing Circus were brought back.
"However, Mr. Jia, my daughter Jiao'er's white bone Ji can only last two or three hours of battle, and once it exceeds the time, she must eat a large amount of white bones for food, and rest for a few days to recover. Your tactics rely too much on her Bone Corps, and although you can hold Shazhou, you have lost your advantage on other battlefields. Lei Changye suddenly spoke.
Jia Xu was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up: "There is another article in the Lord's chest?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, only Pang Hengyi smiled slightly and nodded slowly. Lei Changye glanced at him and glanced at him.
Pang Hengyi smiled and said: "The alliance leader wants to take a two-pronged approach, after the Flying Fish Lady ship supports Shazhou, he will return to Xiaoguan for thousands of miles, and cooperate with Bai Yinyi to reach Liangzhou from the main army to Liangzhou." ”
Jia Xu suddenly realized: "The Lord originally wanted the entire Hexi Corridor to completely open up the east-west checkpoints of the Silk Road. ”
Lei Changye smiled and nodded: "Hexi, Anxi, and Beiting are the homeland of the Tang Dynasty, and the remnants of the Saiwai cherish the old master, crying blood every day in anticipation of the king, how can we sit idly by as a martial artist of the Tang Dynasty." The recovery of Shazhou is an opportunity for the ages, and we should rely on the spirit of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty to march into the outside of the Saiwai, regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, sweep the Western Regions, and redraw the territory of our Tang Dynasty. ”
Jia Xu showed a look of emotion, and then thought about it, and couldn't help sighing: "Lord, the town below is divided today, the Quartet is restless, and the food is cut off. It will inevitably lead to the covetousness of the Chang'an regime in the towns of the world. The story that happened in the Prancing Circus is afraid that it will really happen. ”
Lei Changye pursed his lips and shook his head: "In ancient times, the soldiers were very hard, and the imperial court continued to throw money and flesh and blood in the Western Regions. However, because of the system of five ru and sixty-one dais, Xihu gained far more than the Tang soldiers every time he went to war. Over the past hundred years, Xihu has expanded its territory for thousands of miles in the Western Regions, but the power of the Tang Dynasty has become increasingly embarrassing, all due to the difference in benefits. ”
Jia Xu nodded with deep feeling: "What the Lord said is extremely true. Xihu had poor land and could not afford to make a living, so he could only rely on land expansion and plundering, and robbing everything in order to survive. Expanding the land is a lifeline for them, but for us it is only the responsibility of defending the land, and the mobilization of soldiers alone is far from it. ”
Lei Changye held the table with both hands, revealing a contemplative look: "So we marched into the Hexi Corridor this time, and we want to take root here, and we also want to find the interests in the Hexi Corridor that make the Tang Dynasty merchants and soldiers rush to it, so that the Western Regions can become another source of taxation to support the Tang Dynasty." At that time, as long as the emperor divides the Western Regions, the elite soldiers of each town will flock to it, and even if the towns under the world want to covet Chang'an, there will be no soldiers available. ”
"The alliance leader wants to build another Lei Gong Town in the Hexi Corridor?" Pang Hengyi asked shrewdly.
"Not just a town, but a self-sufficient and prosperous capital of the Western Regions. Lei Changye fell into deep thought as he spoke, "A brand new Fang Town that can attract the Tang Dynasty martial artists to find a place to use it. ”
"Lord, I have seen the methods you used in Huichuan City, do you think there will be such an opportunity in the Western Regions?" Jia Xu's eyes lit up.
"Although the mountains of Nanbu Province are abundant, they can only maintain one Aigawa Castle. The area of the Western Regions is several times wider than that of Nanwu, but in terms of property alone, it is not enough to support the achievements of hundreds of thousands of warriors in the towns of the Tang Dynasty, unless it ......" Lei Changye suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face. Jia Xu shuddered when he saw all the old members of the Martial Alliance in the room.
Jia Xu (Level 20 VIP): What's wrong? What's wrong? What did I miss?
Pang Tong (Level 16 VIP): The main line has riotous thoughts again. Xihu was miserable.
Jia Xu (Level 20 VIP): It's miserable? So direct?
Jiang Gan (Level 14 VIP): Do you remember the 12 Yamen of Nanwu?
Lei Changye shook his head, raised his head, and said excitedly: "Everyone, the plan of the Western Regions is a long-term plan, not a plan that can be determined for a while. However, this time to support Shazhou, it is the first battle for us to develop the Western Regions, and we must win the battle, take all the Hexi, open up the Silk Road, and let Xihu dare not look east for a hundred years. ”
"I would like to listen to the Lord's dispatch!" said all the members of the Martial Alliance in the room, including Jia Xu.
