Zhu Wen also made the final announcement.

As for mobilization, it has been going on for many years and is not needed at all.

From the beginning, he made his purpose clear and mobilized the whole country to attack Daning.

Now it's really about to begin.

Carrying a million-strong army is just a way of saying that the actual strength reached more than two million.

March brings spring flowers.

Zhu Wen will then lead the expedition in person.

This is the result of discussions with Himekawa earlier.

There are only two months left!

In fact, the clouds of war have already spread over the border!

The northeastern part of Shangyun Province and the intersection with Beilin Province used to be the border between the two provinces, but now it has become the national boundary between the two countries.

On the long border, if you look down, you can see that military camps are densely distributed. Troops are deployed in almost every place that has the conditions for dispatching troops.

In just two years, Liang Guo mobilized the whole country. On the basis of the original frontier army, he integrated the national troops, and added new recruits, and established five new legions, with Ding, An, Wei and Hu as the responsibilities.

serial number.

Three hundred thousand men per legion.

This is 1.5 million troops.

These are the main battle corps, recruits who have undergone rigorous training and are not recruited randomly and directly taken to the battlefield.

In addition, there are 600,000 cavalry including light cavalry, heavy cavalry and Tianxiong Army.

The total strength is more than two million.

There are also more than one million civilians involved in logistics. You can imagine how huge the investment is. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the strength of the whole country!

Of the five major legions, two legions with a total of 600,000 people have been transferred to Wei.

There is a large number of people but not chaos. The deployment of troops has basically been completed and is waiting for the final adjustments, or the final rest and recuperation.

Because the war is about to begin!

Qingyang City.

The original border army garrison in Liangjun Town has now become the seat of the Liangjun United Front Work Department.

The United Front Administration was the highest military organization newly established by the Liang Kingdom specifically for the war, and took charge of all important wartime affairs.

Army deployment, logistics and military supplies, weapons and equipment, etc.

During wartime, the United Front Administration has the authority to mobilize all resources and personnel, and can directly dispatch them to local governments without going through the court.

If during the course of a war, 300,000 civilians are needed, orders from the United Front Office can be sent directly to the local provincial governor.

The person in charge of the United Front Office was Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Zhu Wen, who was also the supreme commander-in-chief of the army, and the deputy commander-in-chief was none other than Prince Zhu Zhen!

Qingyang City became famous, and the Qingyang League recorded in history was completed here.

From last year to now, Zhu Zhen has been in charge of military affairs at the border.

The battle plans discussed by the Qingyang League were all implemented and arranged by him.

This shows that his military ability can lead so many armies in an orderly manner. Several legions are arranged and deployed appropriately, which is not something that just one person can do...

The organization of the General Command has been established long ago, and most of them are people from the Prince's East Palace. These teams will also be his team when he becomes emperor in the future.

In charge of such a large army, Zhu Zhen has become the most powerful person in the Liang Kingdom!

Today, a military meeting is being held at the headquarters.

Zhu Zhen sits in the first place.

The generals of the three armies and the generals and staff are all there.

"The war period is approaching, and we will launch an attack on Daning in two months!"

Zhu Zhen waved his arms in high spirits.

Anyone who can command such a large army will be a little arrogant, especially for him who is already selfish and arrogant.

"Your Majesty will also arrive at the border before the war begins and lead the expedition in person!"

Zhu Zhen said: "From now on, each army will enter the final preparation period, and the combat strategies we have set in advance will also begin to be implemented!"

As he spoke, he turned to a big man with a hooked nose, a square face, a beard and sideburns, and a huge back and waist!

His name was Han Hu, and he was the general of the Anbian Army, commanding 300,000 troops and stationed west of the border.

"How is the plank road repaired over there?"

Zhu Zhen asked.

"Last autumn, we started to build the plank road, and now the results have been achieved and it can be used by people and horses. However, the enemy has been keeping watch, and I am afraid they have been prepared."

General Han Hu reported.

The farthest west is the continuous mountains. In this attack, considering that the small land combat area will affect the large army's operations, these continuous mountains must be utilized.

This is the strategy of attacking through the mountains set by the Qingyang Alliance!

The first time I fought against Daning.

Liang Guo organized a million-strong army and directly attacked Yuanzhou from Beilin Province, concentrating his forces to attack only one place.

It could be defended by the enemy and failed after many calculations.

Lessons learned this time.

Spread out your troops, lengthen the front, and attack at multiple points. If the enemy's troops are insufficient, you will naturally be overwhelmed and unable to respond.

This is the general strategy.

And attacking it through the mountain is the most important one.

Liang State is located in the southwest of the mainland. The abundant southwest horses are small in size and good at walking on mountain roads. They are not suitable as war horses. They have well-developed tendons and solid hooves. They are good at climbing mountains and ridges, so they are suitable for transportation and consignment...

This is where the advantage lies.

Attacking them through mountains can also be surprisingly effective and attack them unprepared.

It's just that this should have been done secretly, but Zhu Zhen ordered the plank road to be built openly!

They also intend to send out large groups of people to make a big noise in a conspicuous place...

Many people didn't dare to ask before.

Now Han Hu finally couldn't help but ask...

"Your Highness, we are building the plank road openly and have been targeted by the enemy for a long time. If they know it, they can deploy defenses in advance. Our army will not be able to have a surprising effect. It should be done in secret!"

His question caused many people to nod.

He was not the only one who was confused about this.

It's just that Zhu Zhen has always been strict in running the army and requires obedience and no words, so no one dared to ask.

Zhu Zhen smiled faintly.

"Do you think that even if it is done secretly, the enemy will not know about it?"

The scale of this war was too large, with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.

If you make the slightest movement, you will be noticed by the enemy. This is inevitable.

"I asked you to build the plank road, but it was actually a pretense!"

"A cover?"

Han Hu frowned and fell into thoughts. After a while, he gradually relaxed.

"Could it be that you want to use a trick to attack the east and attack the west?"

It dawned on him.

"That's right!"

Zhu Zhen's eyes showed admiration. Han Hu looked big and strong, but in fact he was as careful as a hair and had great strategies and wits. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the five generals!

Hearing this, everyone else also reacted.

It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince’s real plan is Beilin Province!

Now, the enemy troops are also setting up defenses on the border. After two years of operation, Daning has achieved complete control over Beilin.

It turns out that there are parts close to Shangyun Province that are not under its jurisdiction, but now that has changed...

Troops are stationed and the intention to resist is obvious.

Using such a strategy will give the enemy misjudgment, and their deployment of troops will focus more on defending through the mountain.

The enemy's forces are limited and cannot take care of them all. When their troop mobilization is empty, our own army launches a fierce attack and marches straight in. It is bound to directly recapture Beilin Province!

Thinking of this, everyone was amazed.

His Royal Highness is worthy of being the God of War!

Really deserved it!
Chapter completed!
