New Year has just passed.

The climate in the northern land is gradually warming up.

As the temperature rises, the long-dormant border areas will gradually become filled with the smell of war again.

After Zhao Tong settled the matter of distilling wine.

He immediately began to summon the generals in the army to discuss the military affairs.

Prepare to launch a counterattack against Cao's garrison in Longxi County.

Between the big tents.

Zhao Tong stood on both sides, looking at the generals standing on both sides, with thick smiles on their faces.

There was a strong sense of confidence on his face.

Scan at a glance.

Seeing all the generals celebrating the New Year, they were in extremely high spirits.

Zhao Tong was also very happy at this moment.

I watched the generals gather together and discuss for a long time.

He just said: "Everyone, now that the New Year has passed and the weather has improved, I would like to..."

However, before these words could be said, Liu Yin on the left was still a little impatient, so he raised his hands and asked: "General, are you preparing to send troops to Longxi County to avenge the attack last winter?

?"

The words just fell.

This statement was instantly echoed by everyone.

"yes!"

"What General Liu said is true!"

"Last year, our army first stationed here. Due to the temporary acclimatization of our soldiers, we were attacked by the enemy. If we don't fight back, wouldn't it make the enemy look down on us?"

"Let's fight, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

"That's right, the soldiers in the army are at a time when their morale and fighting spirit are high. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you will definitely miss the opportunity."

The generals' unanimous persuasion unknowingly strengthened Zhao Tong's determination to send troops to attack Longxi.

But as the commander-in-chief of an army, he was not like other generals who lost their thinking due to the excitement of the crowd.

He still regained some sense.

After pondering for a while, Fang said: "What you all said is true. If Cao Jun wants to invade our territory, he will definitely have to fight back."

"But, how to attack the enemy requires long-term planning!"

The conversation ended after a while.

Zhao Tong took the lead in raising an issue to everyone.

I want to gather the minds of the generals and commanders to discuss combat operations.

As soon as these words came out.

The originally noisy camp gradually became quieter.

The generals were silent among themselves, thinking closely about countermeasures.

Or they are discussing it secretly with each other.

Only Ma Su, who had joined the army, was sitting in front of the desk, kneeling respectfully on the futon, with a calm expression, and did not participate in the discussion.

This scene also attracted Zhao Tong's attention.

But he didn't stop it immediately.

It took about a while to wait.

Liu Yin's face became more and more joyful, and he raised his hands and said confidently: "General, in my opinion, why don't we divide our troops and march in separate directions?"

"What do you mean by peace?"

"Our army currently has more than 5,000 elite infantry and cavalry, including nearly 2,000 cavalry in the knight corps. I heard that the terrain in Longxi is flat and there are flat roads along the way."

"Then this is extremely suitable for the performance of the Cavaliers."

While Liu Yin was thinking quickly in his mind, he was also slowly analyzing the strategy for dispatching troops.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "According to military information reports from the sentry cavalry hidden at the border or sneaking into the border of Longxi, the enemy army was defeated and returned in the twelfth month of the lunar month."

"Then he withdrew his troops to Xiangwu, an important town in Longxi, and stationed in Didao."

"General Fei Yao led the masses to garrison Didao to protect the transportation links between the counties in Hexi and Longyou, and to guard against any unrest among the surrounding Qiang people at all times."

"As for Dai Ling, he led a group to station in Xiangwu, mainly to confront our army in case our army suddenly invades the territory of Longxi."

The words came out slowly.

He also received praise from the generals, who nodded in agreement.

Follow closely.

The more Liu Yin analyzed, the smile on his face became more and more confident.

He immediately stood up, strode towards the screen with his head held high, pointed to one point on the map hanging between them, and spoke loudly:

"From the map, we can see that Lintao in Longxi is the southernmost town in the county, and it is also the place where our army must pass on its way north."

"If you want to attack Longxi, you must conquer this place."

"According to the battle report, the enemy has indeed prepared here in advance, prepared sufficient strategic military supplies, and arranged soldiers to patrol and take precautions at all times."

"Once our troops are discovered, we will immediately launch a warning."

"This place will probably be a battleground between the two armies."

"There is a high probability that the war will start here."

Hearing these eloquent words.

The generals on the left and right became more and more excited as they listened.

During this period, the general Zhang Yi also nodded frequently in support of the proposal.

Lieutenant General Ma Zhong looked serious and also echoed: "Xiuran's analysis indeed mentioned the key points of combat preparation."

"Lintao is the city gate in the southwestern part of Longnan and the outpost of the important town of Xiangwu. There is no buffer around it, making it very suitable for the attack of the knights."

"Yizhong looks at it, if we want to attack this time, we can divide our forces into a strategy!"

As Ma Zhong spoke, the generals agreed more and more to this proposal.

Follow closely.

The generals and commanders also spoke widely and proposed:

"That's right, General Ma, the strategy of dividing the troops mentioned by General Liu is very good, you can consider it!"

"The general thought that he could send cavalry soldiers into Lintao to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, so as to attract the enemy's eyes, ears or attention."

"General, you will personally lead the masses along the west side of Longxi to wait for opportunities and harass the border areas along the way with infantry."

…

A series of words.

Seeing all the generals speaking out.

Zhao Tong listened quietly.

Promise for half a ring.

He solemnly looked at the gazes of the generals, waved his hand to indicate discussion, and the room quickly became quiet, and said:

"What the generals said is basically true!"

"It may be feasible to divide the troops and implement a strategy."

"But our army stationed here only has more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry. With this military strength, it is far from the strength to annex Longxi County."

"Therefore, our army's counterattack against the enemy this time is mainly due to harassment, and a decisive battle is not advisable!"

Just one word left.

Zhao Tong's words have made it very clear,

That means our side is mainly focused on harassment in this battle.

As soon as this was said.

Ma Su on one side seemed to instantly understand the look in Zhao Tong's eyes.

He did not continue to pretend as if nothing had happened for the next second.

Instead, he said in a deep voice: "The general proposed this strategy, and I think it should be done in this way."
To be continued...
