Shang Qixin'er summoned her subordinates and announced in front of them the order to demote Dai Ze to the rank of captain of thousands.
"Now the Tang Dynasty Chen Bing Qilian Pass, please come to discuss, how to attack the Qilian Pass?"
Those who can enter Shang Qi Xin'er's handsome tent are all generals above the rank of captain of a thousand.
The news that Dai Ze lost his troops and lost ten thousand vanguards has spread to the central army.
The generals in the handsome tent look at me and I look at you, but no one wants to speak first.
The reason is simple. Dai Ze returned in defeat, and the morale of Tibet was greatly shaken.
These are ten thousand elites!
Even if there are 10,000 sheep, they should not collapse so quickly.
In the end, only Dai Ze and less than a hundred of his bodyguards fled back to the south of the Qilian Mountains.
The terrifying combat effectiveness of the Longyou Tang Army made the Tibetan generals in the tent think of retreating.
However, they also knew rationally that Shang Qixin'er launched an attack in the summer and mobilized all the troops in the host country. It was absolutely impossible for them to go back like this.
If she goes back now, it will have a huge impact on Shang Qi Xin'er's prestige.
However, because Dai Ze lost his position north of the Qilian Mountains, although Shang Qixin'er still had 40,000 elite troops, the Tang army had already occupied the key pass of the Qilian Mountain Pass.
If we attack the Qilian Mountains at this time, we will have to pay a huge price.
When she thought of this, Shang Qi'er wanted to whip Daize a few more times.
If he hadn't been so eager to advance, the Tubo army wouldn't have been so passive!
But time cannot be turned back, Shang Qi'er is also thinking in her heart, the fight must be fought, but to what point should the fight be carried out?
It is to destroy one Tang army and avenge 10,000 vanguards.
We still have to capture the city of Wuwei or Zhangye and drag down the entire Tibet according to the original plan.
Shang Qixin'er looked at the generals under his command and said with a stern face: "According to the people of the Tang Dynasty in Longyou, you should speak freely during the military discussion, and after the military discussion is over, you should give orders and prohibitions."
"I'm asking you to speak now but don't express your opinions. After the military meeting is over, I will issue general orders. Don't think about disobeying me anymore!"
After saying this, Gar, a captain of ten thousand men under Shang Qixin'er, said:
"Wise argument, Gar thinks we should continue the attack!"
Shang Qi'er's eyes lit up, she wanted to make such a decisive statement at this time.
Gar said: "The Qilian Mountains are not the Jinshan Pass. This ancient road between Tang and Pan is wide and there are many passes that can be passed."
"According to the information from General Daize and Commander Daize, the Tang people only have five thousand people at most, and it is impossible to completely defend the Qilian Mountains."
"The general believes that we can continue to cross the Qilian Mountains according to the original plan!"
"good!"
Shang Qixin'er clapped her hands and stood up, expressing strong support for Gal's suggestion.
Seeing Shang Qixin'er's attitude, Gar continued: "The Tang army does not have enough troops to defend Zhangye and Wuwei at the same time!"
Shang Qixin'er nodded repeatedly. Gar's judgment was the same as his own. The Tang army only had 5,000 soldiers and horses on the front line. Although it had cannons and explosive grenades, it would be too stupid to divide the troops to defend two cities.
Gar said: "I once heard a story told by a businessman from the Tang Dynasty, which is called encircling a point to call for reinforcements."
"Tell me in detail!"
Gar grinned, revealing a cunning look that was completely different from his sturdy appearance and said:
"The people of the Tang Dynasty were good at defending the city, and Captain Dai Ze has already suffered this loss."
"But this also shows that the Tang people are too timid to fight us Tubo warriors in the wild."
"The Tang people can only rely on sharp weapons, so we can pretend to besiege Wuwei City, and then ambush the reinforcements coming to rescue on the road!"
Shang Qixin'er laughed when she heard this: "Okay! This is a good strategy!"
Then Shang Qixin'er took out a wooden slip and wrote an order on the wooden slip.
"Gar, this treatise orders you to lead the 10,000-strong vanguard army to break through the Qilian Mountains and pioneer the army!"
Gar secretly hated himself for why he had to step forward. He didn't expect to take such an unfortunate job for himself.
The 10,000 elite men led by Dai Ze were all defeated by the Tang people. Shang Qixin'er only gave 10,000 men and had to cross the Qilian Mountains. Wasn't this a gift?
Gar also understood what Shang Qixin'er meant. If the ten thousand Gar cannot break through the Qilian Mountains, then Gar will be punished and then find a reason to lead the army back to Tianqian City.
When he thought of this, Gar's dissatisfaction became even stronger.
Shang Qixin'er was once a good head of the family who made clear rewards and punishments.
But now that he is older, Dai Ze has committed such a big crime, but he does not even want to kill him to apologize, but only demotes him to the rank of captain of thousands.
Shang Qixin'er would never do this when she was young.
And this order chilled Gar even more. If Shang Qi Xin'er really wanted to use her strategy, she would definitely not only give her 10,000 troops.
Gal was even more certain that Shang Qixin'er was really old.
The young alpha wolf in the pack will lead the pack to expand its territory and hunt more ferocious prey.
The old alpha wolf only thinks about suppressing the younger members of the wolf pack, just to maintain his authority in the wolf pack.
If Shang Qixin'er talks about retreating, it will definitely damage his prestige as a great commentator.
Giving 10,000 of your own troops to attack the Qilian Mountains is a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone.
If the 10,000 men in his own headquarters were defeated by the Tang army, it would also weaken the strength of his own headquarters, and Shang Qixin'er's position would be more stable.
If his plan is really successful, then Shang Qi Xin'er will immediately send his troops to cross the Qilian Mountains, and then all the subsequent military exploits and prestige will belong to Shang Qi Xin'er.
Gar secretly resented that he saw Daize in the corner again.
This idiot was punished like this just because he was Da Lun's son and destroyed an army of 10,000 people?
Just because of his stupidity, everyone has to make greater sacrifices to cross the Qilian Mountains.
When he thought of this, Gar couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
However, this fashionable Qi Xin'er was still very prestigious in the army, so Gar could only respectfully accept the wooden slip with the military order engraved on it.
The Tibetan army north of the Qilian Mountains began to move, and the Tang army in Longyou in Hexi did not stop either.
After the commendation ceremony, top players in the Hexi region also organized an online military meeting.
After several battles, players found that online communication was very efficient.
And the forces that need to be mobilized for a war are far more than a corps and a few staff officers.
Whether it is an ancient or modern war, a war is a huge organizational project from making a plan to sending soldiers out, from duel on the battlefield to chasing the enemy after the war, to collecting prisoners and rewarding them based on their merit.
A powerful army cannot be commanded by just a few generals with superior force.
And a war that spans the entire Hexi region requires more overall planning and arrangements.
This joint meeting is a meeting organized by the players with the highest status in Hexi and the staff team staying in Zhangye City.
Zeng Mu, who acted as the Suzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, Cui Tao, who acted as the Ganzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, and Xue Hu, who acted as the Liangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, were responsible for the logistical support of Yuchi Xin's army.
Zhang Wu, the inner guard player who helped Xue Hu capture Wuwei City, was also taken over by Yu Chixin and was responsible for reorganizing the streamlined Chishui Army.
But what troubles Yuchixin the most is the issue of weapons logistics.
"Old Zeng, when will the weapons from Guazhou be delivered?"
Zeng Mu said: "It's not because our people in Suzhou don't work hard, why Guazhou's weapons haven't been produced yet!"
Yu Chixin sighed. Last time, in order to defeat Daize's army as quickly as possible, all the grenades and artillery shells in stock were used up.
Nowadays, the weapons workshop in Guazhou is working day and night, but the gap on the front line is still huge.
Yu Chixin asked again: "The allicin and hemostatic medicine last time worked well, are there any more?"
Zeng Mu chuckled and said: "Hemostatic medicine is a Chinese patent medicine and is now mass-produced. However, it is not easy to extract allicin. Moreover, allicin is manufactured by Zhao Chen and his workshop. The raw materials are collected from ordinary people. It cannot be done.
Is it always provided for free?”
Yu Chixin understood what Zeng Mu meant, and he said: "I will give you the money after I dispose of the livestock captured last time."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Chixin finished speaking, Cui Tao jumped out: "You want to sell those livestock? Our Shandan Ranch is in short supply of livestock!"
Yu Chixin said with a headache: "I heard from Xue Hu that there are many businessmen from the Central Plains coming to Wuwei City now, and the purchase price of livestock is very high."
Cui Tao raised his voice and said: "In order to support the war, we in Zhangye have been tightening our belts for a long time! You have dragged Zheng He, the herd supervisor, to fight! Now that you have the loot, you are going to sell it!?"
Yu Chixin also had a headache, so he had to say: "Then let Zheng He pick out the good varieties and bring them back to Shandan Ranch."
Zeng Mu added: "Do you have any cows? Give me a few hundred cows, and it will be used to offset the previous allicin price!"
Cui Tao immediately said: "Why do you want cattle? Do you have a ranch in Jiuquan?"
Zeng Mu sneered and said, "Pasture? What do you want that thing for? I've already built a cattle ranch!"
Cui Tao sneered and said: "You also want to develop animal husbandry in Jiuquan? The climate and conditions there are not suitable for animal husbandry."
Zeng Mu said: "Who said raising cattle means engaging in animal husbandry? We in Jiuquan want to be a high-end industry!"
When Yu Chixin saw the two sides bickering again, he immediately said: "Okay, okay, two big guys, stop arguing. I will send two hundred cows to Jiuquan right now, and let Zheng He choose the remaining good animals."
How about taking them away and giving the rest to Wuwei City to rebuild its defenses?"
This result finally satisfied everyone, and Yu Chixin continued:
"According to Lin Jianguo's investigation, the Tubo army is camped south of the Qilian Mountains. It has not retreated yet. It seems that it is still going to attack Hexi."
Cui Tao also returned to his military advisor appearance. He shook his feather fan and said, "This is inevitable. If the vanguard is destroyed and they return home, it will have a huge blow to Shang Qixin'er's prestige. This battle must be fought."
"But this battle can be big or small."
Yu Chixin asked: "How to defeat the big ones? How to defeat the small ones?"
Cui Tao said: "A big fight has the advantages of a big fight, and a small fight has the advantages of a small fight. It's up to you to make your choice, Yuchi."
