Yu Qingwu has the ambition to dominate the world, and plays with Great Xia between applause to repay the suffering of the descendants of Emperor Shun for hundreds of years. If he wants to achieve this goal, he can't do it with his world-beating magic alone, although he has never really fought a battle, but he also knows that no matter how strong a person is, in the face of tens of thousands of well-trained troops, he can't make any waves, so he must get the military power of Great Xia!

And now the person in charge of the military power in Great Xia is not the human emperor Xia Luqi, but the veteran of the Three Dynasties Yu Tao! Yu Tao lives one more day, and it will be difficult for Yu Qingwu to get the military power, but he can't blatantly kill the prestige of the Taishi in this army in front of everyone's eyes, so he has two plans before setting out on the expedition.

First, seize the right opportunity and use the sword! Second, if you can't kill you, try to gain your trust and let him willingly hand over his military power!

When he was in the twilight of the West Mountain, he would definitely search for talents in the army, and choose the successor to the position of Taishi before his death, so as to ensure the stability of the Quartet of Great Xia. Yu Qingwu's words have overshadowed all the generals present, so that Yu Tao is impressed, he naturally struck while the iron is hot, and continued to take over Yu Tao's words and said: "Although Xiao Wang has led the army several times, he has never really been on the battlefield, even so, he also deeply agrees with Taishi's 'theory of stabilizing the army'. ”

Yu Tao, who was about to let all the generals retreat, heard Yu Qingwu's words, and said with great interest: "Your Highness seems to have any good ideas, you might as well talk about it." ”

Yu Qingwu nodded, pointed at Huang Lin and said, "Earlier, the chief soldier said that the griffin soldiers would cross the river to the west, and they would form a flank and encircle the main force behind the enemy, and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop. For this point, Xiao Wang just opposed, but since the Taishi has led the 200,000 Jizhou troops east to Longshan, and will only rush down from Longshan in time of war, Xiao Wang thinks that the strategy of crossing the river west can be used. ”

Huang Lin raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Your Highness means that our army will form a flanking attack from the east, south, and west?"

"That's good!" Yu Qingwu stepped forward to the map, pushing the wargame representing the Jizhou Army to Longshan, the wargame representing the Griffin Army to the west of the Hetao, plus the wargame of Hanquan, the three Great Xia wargames just blocked the three directions of Dog Rong and Ghost Fang East, West, and South.

"According to Xiao Wang's humble opinion, Longshan will deploy 200,000 Jizhou troops, and then send 100,000 griffin troops to the west of Hetao.

As soon as Yu Qingwu's words fell, everyone looked at the map, their eyes lit up, and they murmured: "Steady and steady, what a clever plan, our army is twice as large as the enemy, with this encirclement, the victory is decided, and the possibility of annihilating the enemy army is not even ruled out!"

However, Ji Chenggang frowned and asked, "Since you have chosen to encircle, why don't you send troops to cut off the north side as well, so that the total annihilation of the enemy army is not a sure thing?"

"Because it doesn't need to. Yu Qingwu smiled, pointed to the map and said: "The reason why the griffin army will be sent west across the river is because the mobility of the griffin army is incomparable to other troops, the river loop is only a hundred miles, with the speed of the griffin army, it will not take half an hour to rush from the west of the river loop to the foot of Yin Mountain, blocking the enemy's retreat." And if the enemy chooses to break through from the west at this time, we can pour grease into the river and set fire to surround the entire river loop, and then the dogs and ghosts can escape, at most some griffin soldiers. As for what you said about sending more troops to the west and north, if you think about it, once you make such a layout, it will definitely weaken the strength in all directions, and if the enemy forces concentrate a little to break through, it will be difficult to keep them. ”

Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Ji Chenggang hurriedly looked at the map, only to find that the geography of the Hetao was indeed peculiar.

The reason why the Hetao will be called the Hetao is because when the river enters the east, it suddenly folds dozens of miles in the north, then dozens of miles in the east, and then dozens of miles in the south and flows through the middle of Longshan, and finally returns to the east, and the whole circle is formed into a large circle, and the plain in the middle is called the Hetao, and the Hetao is Hanquan to the south, which is the current station.

"Your Highness's 'Desperate Road with Fire' is really a clever trick!" Ming Xu, who was still unpleasant to Yu Qingwu before, had already forgotten all about what he had satirized about Yu Qingwu just now, pointed to the map and said: "The river water is mixed with oil, and once the two sides are at war, the entire Hetao will be surrounded by raging fire, plus the east is blocked by the Jizhou army, and the griffin army can go back and forth to the west and north in a short time, and the only direction that the dog Rong ghost side can go in is Hanquan." However, Hanquan has an army of 300,000 waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, and if necessary, 100,000 griffin troops and 200,000 Jizhou troops will outflank them from behind, and if the 600,000 army wants to eat a small 300,000 dog Rong ghost party, it will be easy!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Dog Rong and Ghost Fang have always coveted my fertile land and rich products in Great Xia, so they have been eyeing each other, and this time they are pouring out their nests, and they are bound to make them have no return!"

"Hanquan and Hetao are their burial places!"

"I really hope that winter will pass quickly, my broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"

......

Everyone present was so impressed by Yu Qingwu's words that they couldn't wait to start a war with the dog Rong and the ghost party immediately. The most calm and relaxed is the long-experienced Yu Tao, he looked at Yu Qingwu deeply, the look of approval in his eyes was undisguised, and said: "Your Highness is a genius, it really surprised the old man!"

"It's too much of a praise. Yu Qingwu smiled humbly and said: "At Xiao Wang's age, Taishi is already full of great merits, and with his own ability and general, compared with Taishi, Xiao Wang is 108,000 miles behind. ”

At the age of sixteen, he left the Liuhe Mountain Dunjia faction and joined the army, and in just four years, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, step by step from a five-person commander to a general in charge of the Tenth Army, and then succeeded the King of Huai in less than a year and became a Taishi, ruling the world's generals. In terms of its growth rate, it can be called the most in history! Counting up, Yu Qingwu has been promoted to Xia Guan Sima in just a few years since he entered the imperial capital, although the speed of his promotion to Xia Guan Sima is not much worse than him, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yu Qingwu has the relationship of Xia Luqi, otherwise he doesn't know how many teenagers he has to reach the point where he is now.

Yu Tao waved his hand, and did not continue to praise each other with Yu Qingwu, and said directly: "Since Your Highness has made such a good policy, then please tell Your Highness who should be the commander of the griffin army to cut off the enemy's rear, and who should be the vanguard general to drag the enemy army so that the griffin army can rush to the established position." ”

Although the griffin army has been determined to cut off the enemy's rear, it has been said before that the Hetao is located on the plain and has a wide field of vision, although the griffin army moves quickly, if it goes early, it will inevitably be discovered by the enemy and escape in time; and if it is finished, it will delay the opportunity, in this case, it is natural to need the vanguard army to attack first, paralyze the enemy army, and wait until all the troops have rushed to the battlefield and then annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.

"Taishi said that he laughed, Xiao Wang is just talking about troops on paper, where can he really transfer troops?" Yu Qingwu said with a wry smile.

Yu Tao nodded approvingly, and secretly said that this son has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, so as not to indiscriminately order generals in order to grab credit. He swept over all the generals present, and finally his eyes fell on Ming Xu, who was full of anxiety, and said, "Ming Xu takes the order!"

"The end will be!" Ming Xu, who had been waiting for the order for a long time, knelt down on one knee with a puff, waiting for the order of the general.

"You are in charge of an army of 100,000 griffins, and half an hour before the vanguard army attacked, you will cross the river to the west, spare the enemy's rear, and block all the enemy's retreat!" said Yu Tao.

"This ......" Ming Xu, who was originally excited, couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard that he had cut off the enemy's retreat instead of being the vanguard officer. In every battle, the vanguard army is undoubtedly the most important, he was defeated a month ago, and now he naturally wants to serve as a pioneer officer when he seizes this good opportunity, but who knows that Tao Tao will not let him serve as a pioneer officer.

Seeing that Ming Xu didn't accept the order for a long time, Yu Tao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, the fifty military sticks just now have been forgotten?"

"Ming Xu doesn't dare! Obey the order of the Taishi!" The Taishi was furious, and Mingxu, who originally wanted to say something to let the Taishi replace him with a pioneer officer, immediately took the order to retreat.

"Huang Lin and Ji Chenggang obeyed the order!"

"Huang Lin, Cheng Gang is here!"

"You two order the whole army from the Xieben Taishi!"

"Yes!"

A pair of old eyes wandered among everyone, everyone knew that the old lady was going to choose a pioneer officer, and everyone hoped to become a pioneer officer and perform well in the future battle, so that the old lady would be impressed. While everyone was waiting with bated breath, Yu Tao's eyes fell on Yu Qingwu, who was calm and relaxed, and said, "Fuyao Wang is the vanguard officer, do you have any objections?"

"Obey the order of the Grand Master!" Yu Qingwu bowed to receive the order, and did not kneel down like the others.

Yu Tao nodded and said, "I wonder how many people Your Highness thinks the vanguard army needs?"

If there are too many vanguard troops, they will inevitably be startled, and if there are few, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

Yu Qingwu raised two fingers and said, "Twenty thousand light horses are enough!"

The 20,000 light cavalry was neither more nor less, and they could not only deal with the enemy army for some time, but also not be surrounded and annihilated in a short time.

As the time passed, the 410,000 troops of Hanquan were in full swing preparing for a counterattack, and the Hetao Ghost Fang and the Inurong Alliance Army were also recuperating, waiting for the opportunity to continue the southward invasion. At this time, Xia Luqi, who was not by his side, couldn't withstand the temptation of Yuxi's soul Gu, and not only returned to his former mediocrity, but even worse than in the past. The tax reduction and exemption in the edict was also exempted, and once again lost its trust in the world, causing resentment among the people everywhere, and there was even news that after the spring, another tribute would be collected!

In previous years, it was a tribute a year, but now, in the case of increased taxes, another tribute has to be added, and the princes in various places are already dissatisfied, and there have even been public protests in some places. Xia Luqi, who learned of this, immediately issued an order to the whole world, and whoever dared to protest again would be punished for the crime of treason! This edict showed that on the surface there were indeed fewer protests, but it could not quell the protests in the hearts of the people.

The matter of the imperial capital will be more or less transmitted to the Tao in Hanquan, and when he learned about it, his health deteriorated, and he was finally bedridden and very emaciated. The accompanying military doctor tried his best, and finally only came to the conclusion that the old lady would not live for a month.

Winter turns to spring, the ice and snow melt, and the grassland comes to life again. The warm spring sun rises in the east, and a great battle is quietly staged, and the mighty 100,000 griffin army takes advantage of the sky before dawn to fly into the clouds to the west.
