Chapter 679 Target
Below Xiao Changche, the left army Gu Xiaoman, the right army An Xuan, the middle army Xiao Hongwei, the rear army Ma Dacheng, Ma Liang and his son, the head of the intelligence agency Zhou Yi, the Chinese army chief Bo Liuyi etc., formed the leading group of the entire Yangguan Military Group.
With nearly 40,000 elite soldiers and horses and other various groups serving these 40,000 people, the total of all aspects exceeds 100,000 people. The daily cost is really not small.
Although under the leadership of Mao Daxian, many logistics aspects of the army were contracted to the private sector. Through various bidding and bidding, the cost was greatly reduced, and accounts could also be posted, but accounts are accounts. You always have to pay it back.
The Protectorate must ensure a good reputation. These outstanding accounts all have a due date. If they are not repaid by the due date, their reputation will be ruined. If they want to borrow money in the future, no one will buy it. .
Of course, as a powerful regime, if you want to make money, there are many ways, whether it is asking for donations from below, or raising taxes and gifts, money can always be obtained, but for a person who is full of vigor and ambition for the world, As for the new regime, they are absolutely unwilling to let their subordinates feel cold at this time.
Internally, we must have gentle breeze and drizzle, and externally, we must have lightning and thunderbolt.
"Zhou Yi, please tell us more about the specific situation in the south!" Xiao Chang, without raising his head, flipped through the files in front of him while thinking about this time Zhiqiuyuan sent to Yangguan. Zhou Yidao is in charge of military intelligence.
Zhou Yi nodded, glanced at the senior generals and officials sitting in the room, and said: "Zhiqiuyuan has received some of the latest intelligence information in the past two days. The effectiveness of the Protectorate's work in Chu State is better than ours. I imagined it was bigger."
At this point, he coughed dryly and looked at Xiao Changche.
Xiao Changche raised his head, glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "If your throat feels uncomfortable, go and see Fu Cheng!"
Zhou Yi pursed his lips, picked up the teapot in front of him and took a sip. Water, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just outside." I just suffered a little bit of wind and cold after running around for a few days!”
Gu Xiaoman held back a smile and looked at the file in front of him. It’s a good thing that Fatty Zhou is here. The Protector has another person to vent to, so he won’t be fishing for it! It's your own fault.
“Everyone, the civil strife in Chu is further expanding. Under the ingenious planning of the governor, Xiang Zhuang fled to Yuezhou and formed an anti-Nawei army alliance, and gained the support of many people. Support swept through several counties in a very short period of time. Na Wei, the regent of Chu State, transferred from the southwest The 50,000 wolf soldiers had already turned to attack Xiangzhuang before they reached their destination. As a result, the pressure on the eight towns in Jiangnan was greatly reduced! "
"This is a good thing!" Huang Bearded Anxuan said happily: "The more chaotic they are, the safer the eight towns in Jiangnan will be!"
"Maybe it's not a good thing!" Gu Xiaoman shook his head and said: "The Chu Kingdom was in chaos, so it was unable to pose a threat to the Eight Jiangnan Towns. Instead, it gave the Eight Jiangnan Towns an opportunity to go south to expand their strength, and Linghuye definitely didn't want to see them become powerful. It is very possible to go south to Xiangyang and use us. Knowing the troops under Ling Huye’s command, the current troops of the Eight Jiangnan Towns are unlikely to be their opponents. This is a series of tricks. If the Eighth Jiangnan Towns lose, Na Wei may also come to take advantage.”
"So?" An Xuan asked.
"So we must fight a serious war!" With a snap, Xiao Changche closed the file in his hand: "We must tell Linghuye that the Beiting Protectorate has prepared After entering the pass, Linghu Ye may still decide to attack south, but at least we can contain some of his forces, or even the main force. In this way, life in Jiangnan will be easier!"
"General, please be the vanguard!" An Xuan said loudly.
“Linghuye has always regarded Boling County as the front line against us!” Xiao Changcai: “After he entered the customs, Linghu Zhishu served as the governor of Boling County. , Manage the defense line, Linghu Zhishu knows us very well. Between Yangguan and Boling County, he created a fifty-mile-wide no-man's land, and between this no-man's land Finally, it is the so-called chain-type defense run by cities, fortresses, a large number of paddy fields, weirs and ponds. The battlefield is cut into pieces, which leaves our cavalry and heavy infantry with no room to fully display. If you take the initiative to attack, you can only use light cavalry to attack with ordinary infantry. In this case, the casualties will be huge."
Zhou Yi continued: "Everyone, there is another point that we cannot ignore, that is, during the years that Linghu Zhishu has been in Boling County, he has been learning the ways of our herdsmen outside the customs, allocating fields to the people of Boling, organizing people to reclaim wasteland, and raise livestock. , organized and trained regiments and militia. For this reason, he also had many conflicts with the Bolingcui family, because in order to seize people, he However, he has snatched a lot of profits from the Cui family. In Boling, most of the land, mountains and rivers belong to the Cui family. To put it simply, Linghu Zhishu is in the hearts of the people of Boling. A good and honest official. Linghu Zhishu can organize ordinary people, and the Cui family tree that has been in Boling County for thousands of years has deep roots. This battle will not be easy. Fight!"
"It would be great if we could lure the opponent out and fight!" An Xuan murmured: "Xiao Duhu, is there a way to make them take the initiative? Defend and launch an attack directly on our Yangguan. Can we concentrate our forces in this open area of 50 miles to destroy it? Destroy their main force?" "Lao An, Linghu Zhishu has been dealing with us for many years. He is a cunning fox. His mission is to block our passage. He knows very well that with the troops he has at hand, , To confront us head-on is to seek death, and since they are all here, he will not stretch out his claws." Xiao Dongwei shook his head repeatedly.
"Protector, I suggest that we go out of Yangguan first, approach the opponent and start building a fortress. We don't necessarily have to fight, it's enough to show our attitude!" Ma Great enlightenment.
“Going forward for tens of miles means that our logistics supplies are extended for dozens of miles!” Xiao Dongwei said: “General Ma, going out from the military camp requires logistical support. This is equivalent to establishing a A bright target for the enemy to attack and harass us. As far as the enemy is concerned, only a small army can make us unstoppable. If we are not careful, it will be easy for the opponent to pinch us, which is not cost-effective. ! ”
"Military operations have always been risky. Wherever there is a war without risk, all we can do is find the one with the least risk. Since a full-scale attack is difficult, then going out to build a stronghold, I think, is the one with the least risk. The enemy can harass us, but we can also fish!" Ma Liang said in support of his father.
"Protector, what do you think?" Ma Dacheng looked at Xiao Changche.
"It is not advisable to build a military stronghold in this area!" Xiao Changche shook his head: "It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. In my opinion, since it is necessary to fight now, then go and fight the tiger. Xiaoyuan! "
Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to the map hanging on the wall.
Huxiao Plain, a suddenly raised highland, is located on the right side of Boling County and adjacent to Fanyang County. It is condescending, controlling Boling County on the left and Fanyang County on the right. It is indeed a place of situation.
Naturally, such a place is also where the other party focuses its efforts.
"Protector, the Tiger Roar Plain is far away from us at Yangguan. Firstly, the distance is farther. Secondly, it will be more difficult to fight!" Ma Dacheng said in surprise.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
“The location of Huxiaoyuan is important, so there has been constant competition for it for many years. The Fanyang Lu family and the Boling Cui family are in In the game here, the Cui family has an absolute advantage, but the Fanyang Lu family still has many strongholds here! "Xiao Changcai. "The situation here is quite confusing."
"It is impossible for the Fan Yang Lu family to support us!" Ma Dacheng was helpless. "Maybe as soon as we show up there, they will share the same hatred and deal with us together!"
"Why not?" Xiao Changche said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Xiao Changche in shock.
The words Xiao Changche said easily revealed too much information.
Sometimes when the subordinates feel that some problems cannot be solved at all, it is an extremely relaxed thing in front of the leader.
If the Fan Yang Lu family is connected with the Beiting Protectorate, then taking over Huxiaoyuan is a task that is very likely to be accomplished.
