Xiwu's offensive was so fast and fierce, which was a situation that all the generals in the hall had not expected.

From the Changgong Camp in the northwest of Dongqing Prefecture, to the Guping Camp in the southwest of Guangping Prefecture, and extending southward to Qingshui County in Jinchuan Prefecture, this section occupies more than half of the border of Lingzhou for more than a thousand miles.

Wu launched an all-out offensive with nearly 300,000 troops, directing his troops at ten fortresses in Daliang.

In today's era of very backward communications, stretching the battle line to such a long width is not a very wise decision in Yin Wei's opinion. Xiwu launched an attack on ten military towns at the same time, which meant that their military strength would be very large.

Disperse, the 300,000-strong army is evenly divided, and excluding the troops left at the headquarters, each military town in Daliang will have to deal with no more than 20,000 enemy troops at most.

The more important point is that the transmission of information has a lag. If Daliang concentrates its superior forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy's army somewhere, it may be possible to complete the strangulation before the other party gets the news.

Thinking of this, Yin Wei still looked uncomfortable.

There are two reasons. The first point is that a figure suspected of Anyang Dragon Cavalry appeared near Hucheng. This is obviously not good news. As everyone knows, Anyang Dragon Cavalry defended the Xiwu Palace and was the most powerful military force in the hands of the Xi Wu Emperor.

The status of the imperial army in Daliang is similar. If the Emperor of Western Wu sent Anyang Dragon Cavalry to the border, it means that the strategic goal of the Western Wu court this time is not only Tiger City, but probably a war to destroy the country.

The second point is Cheng Anhou Lu Min, who is sitting in the command position with a calm expression.

Needless to say, Lu Min's qualifications were no one questioned Emperor Kaiping's decision to appoint him as the interim coach of the Western Army before leaving Beijing. Yin Wei thought so too, but along the way westward he gradually had different views. First of all,

It was the marching speed of the Beijing army. Yin Wei confirmed that Lu Min was deliberately suppressing it. If he adopts his strategy

If they marched all the way with only the necessary food and grass, the Beijing army could arrive at Lingzhou at least seven days in advance. Don't underestimate these seven days. At least Wuwei Hou Ningzhong did not dare to advance and raise his troops to fight when Lu Min had already arrived. Gu Pingda

The camp will not suffer heavy losses, so that now it can only be trapped in Nanshan Village.

The second is Lu Min's decision after he entered the Guping camp. He wanted to gather the Beijing army and Ningzhong troops, plus the Hucheng defenders, to fight Zhang Qingbai to the death.

After repeated deliberation, Yin Wei finally made up his mind to oppose this decision.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and somewhat depressing. Lu Min looked around at everyone and asked calmly: "The military situation is urgent. What do you think?"

Except for Lu Min and Yin Wei, everyone here today is the commander of the Beida Camp. They all know their identities and qualifications, so even if they have some ideas, they dare not speak rashly.

Lu Min calmly picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Since it is a military meeting, everyone can speak freely. This is not a court, and I am not a censor. I will not stare at you.

The words are critical."

Yin Wei coughed slightly and took the initiative to say: "Commander, Xiwu has divided its troops into ten places. It seems to be coming with a menacing force, but with their strength, they will definitely not be able to attack at the same time. They will inevitably have to make choices."

The rest of the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were under great pressure when facing Lu Min. After all, he was the second person in the Liang Army and was very likely to take over Wang Pingzhang's position and become the Lord of the West Mansion. Now Yin Wei opened his mouth to help them fight.

Under this invisible pressure, these generals who were originally frustrated were naturally even more grateful to their immediate superiors.

Lu Min had a clear view of everyone's reactions. He sneered in his heart and asked with a normal expression: "So where do Marquis Qi Yun think Zhang Qingbai and Xie Lin will focus their attack?"

Yin Wei pondered: "Jiming Village is a battleground for military strategists. I don't think Zhang Qingbai will give up his plan to capture this place."

Lu Min waved to the side, and a moment later two soldiers stood in the hall carrying a giant map. He said to Yin Wei, "Please give the details, Marquis Qi Yun."

Yin Wei stood up and came to the map, stretched out his hand and pointed at the location of Jiming Village, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Zhang Qingbai did not take advantage of the opportunity to advance eastward after defeating Marquis Wuwei is because Jiming Village is still in our hands. The reason here is

There is no need to elaborate on the geographical advantages. It is also a tiger city.

Based on the core of the Nanjunzhai system, as long as Jimingzhai is not lost for a day, the Xiwu army will not be able to attack Lingzhou. Therefore, I think that the Xiwu South Road Army Ming three is one, and the Xishuizhai and Qingshui County in the south are

The two groups are pretending to attack, and the main direction of attack is still at Jiming Village."

Lu Min was noncommittal and asked calmly: "What about the north?"

Valley

Yin Wei pondered for a moment, looked at the defense line of Longgong Camp on the map, and said slowly: "The commander-in-chief of the Western Wu North Route Army is Zhendong General Xie Lin. His troops are as cunning as a fox, and he is especially good at making roundabout attacks. Therefore, I think he divided his troops into seven.

Attacking the military stronghold on the road is a strategy of all virtuality and all reality. If there is a loophole in our army's defense line, he can attack it in the shortest possible time.

Gather the cavalry in hand within a short period of time, use the faster marching speed to form a local superiority, and then defeat them one by one. Commander, although the Longbow Camp is strong, its troops are weak compared to Xiwu, so support must be provided. Otherwise, the north side

Once the defense line is breached, the three prefectures in the north of Lingzhou will be directly exposed to the Xiwu cavalry."

All the generals agreed: "Shuai Yin's words are reasonable, please consider it again."

Lu Min looked at Yin Wei steadily, then moved his eyes to the map. After a long silence, he said: "Documentary, draft a command order."

"Yes." A middle-aged scribe beside the west wall responded respectfully.

"The commander of Longgong Camp was ordered to Ji Ninghou Tang Youzhi. His duty is to guard the northern section of the defense line and not allow any soldiers from Xiwu to enter Lingzhou territory. Xie Lin must allocate part of his troops to monitor Hucheng, so the pressure on him will not

It's too big. The battlefield situation changes at any time, and I allow him to adapt to changes, but he must not disobey the commander's orders."

"yes."

"The commander of Jinshui Camp was ordered to send a guard to the commander of Kangcheng Botian Jingyi to protect Qingshui County. He only needs to retreat and not pursue the enemy. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

"yes!"

"The commander of Guping Camp, Wuwei Hou Ningzhong, was ordered to purge his subordinates, lead the army seventy miles southwest, and set up camp northeast of Jiming Village. Before the arrival of my new order, he must not move without permission, let alone retreat.

"

"yes."

Hearing this, Yin Wei couldn't help but frown.

Lu Min's first two orders are quite normal, and it is naturally the best policy to deal with the current situation safely. As the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, he can dispatch everything except the Hucheng garrison. Naturally, no one else can comment on how to arrange the troops.

But the third commanding order made Yin Wei very worried. Ning Zhong's abilities have now been revealed, and it is not appropriate for him to support Jiming Village.

"Commander——" Yin Wei was about to persuade.

Lu Min suddenly interrupted him and said with a stern expression: "Marquis Qi Yun, just now you said that the pressure on the Longbow Camp is extremely high, and Xie Lin has more cavalry and more strength, so I have another order,

What do you think about asking Pei Yue's Tibetan Front Guards to rush to the Longgong Camp to provide support?"

Yin Wei glanced at the map. Although he spoke for Pei Rong when he was in Kyoto, it was just to suit the wishes of Emperor Kaiping. How could he care about the life and death of this junior who deceived his father and ruined Pei Rong's future?

?What's more, the Tibetan Front Guards are cavalry, so it is justifiable to go to the northern battlefield to deal with Xie Lin.

He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "This is a great good thing."

Lu Min smiled faintly, nodded and said: "That's it. Marquis Qi Yun, you need to purge the Beijing army within three days and follow me to the west to defeat the enemy."

Yin Wei couldn't help but ask: "Commander, may I ask where to defeat the enemy?"
