In the study room in the backyard of the General's Mansion, Di Xin and An Junshan each took a seat.
Halfway through, Laifu opened the door and came in, filled the two people with new cups of tea, then closed the door again and left.
When there were only two people left in the study, Di Xin raised his second finger and said, "The second thing is that the recruitment plan for the Flying Wolf Army can begin."
An Junshan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, I remember that the Flying Tiger Army is not fully staffed yet?"
Di Xin had just reviewed the training of the Flying Tiger Army more than half a month ago, so he naturally knew about this: "Yes, the Flying Tiger Army expanded to 5,000 people when I went there last time, and in the past half month, another 1,000 people have been recruited.
, there are still 4,000 people short of full strength."
Six thousand people were barely more than half the number.
Therefore, An Junshan was even more puzzled. He hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, are you being too hasty?"
Di Xin did not answer the question and said: "After spring next year, we will attack the grassland."
An Junshan's expression changed slightly. He had always known that Di Xin had a plan to attack the grassland, so he had two new cavalry formations, the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Wolf Army, but...
His expression changed slightly and he said: "Your Highness, are you being too hasty?"
Same question, but this time it's about the time to attack the grassland.
Di Xin said: "It's not that I am too hasty. Next spring is our best opportunity to attack the grassland. If we miss it and attack the grassland again, the price we pay will only be greater."
He wasn't just making random excuses.
First of all, for nomadic people, winter is the most difficult to endure every year. Even if there is no shortage of food and cold-proof materials, many people will freeze to death and starve to death every year.
Therefore, the nomads who have just begun spring are at their weakest time of the year after surviving a winter. When the weather gets warmer and the grass begins to grow, the nomads will slowly recover.
And this winter is even more special.
Although the Turkic tribes will not be short of food this year due to the strategy of retreating the enemy at Yanque Pass, the tribes that have just gone through the civil war are also severely weakened and can only slowly recover after the beginning of the next spring.
In addition, the Turkic tribes now have no idea that the Taliban army will invade the grassland, so they can be caught off guard.
Wait, wait... Based on various factors, the beginning of spring tomorrow is the best time to attack the grassland.
After Xiang Anjunshan briefly analyzed the current situation of the Turks, Di Xin said: "If we want to attack the grassland, the existing troops are not enough. If we wait for the Flying Tiger Army to recruit before forming the Flying Wolf Army, it will be too late.
"
"Therefore, we must adopt a two-pronged approach, recruiting at the same time and training at the same time."
An Junshan cupped his hands and said with admiration: "Your Highness is far-sighted and has learned a lesson from his humble position."
Seeing that An Junshan no longer raised objections, Di Xin continued: "The recruited soldiers will be given priority to enrich the Flying Tiger Army at a ratio of two to one."
"At the same time, replacing a thousand veterans from the Flying Tiger Army into the Flying Wolf Army, and having these veterans lead the new soldiers for training, can greatly shorten the training time."
"Before the spring begins, we must have all three cavalry in combat strength."
An Junshan's face showed excitement: "I humbly obey my orders."
Dali has been in seclusion for a long time due to the Turks' invasion from the south. Therefore, the soldiers here are always thinking about counterattacking the grassland once and for all, but they are unable to do so due to various factors such as material supply and differences in arms.
Although An Junshan was called a "lunatic" because of his madness, he just kept thinking about counterattacking the grassland. This is the reason.
But since Prince Yu came to the borderland, everything has changed.
Various policies from the think tank have greatly improved the economic development of the border and the living conditions of the people; the cavalry training methods provided have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Dali cavalry. Although they have not yet officially fought against the Turkic cavalry,
But judging from Anjunshan's many years of experience, even if he is defeated, it is not far behind; after defeating a Turkic conspiracy, the court promised to expand the military power by 20,000...
It can be said that as long as it develops for a period of time, the border areas will have the ability to counterattack the grasslands.
In An Junshan's calculation, this period of time would take at least a year, but he never expected that His Royal Highness Prince Yu would be more radical than him and would take action in the spring of more than four months.
But if the situation is really as His Highness King Yu said, next spring, after the ice and snow melt, will indeed be the best opportunity to attack the grassland.
It's a bit risky, but worth a try.
After An Junshan's excitement subsided a little, Di Xin said: "The specific details and strategic arrangements will be bothered Mr. An and the other lords of the Commander's Department after Mr. Zeng returns."
"Remember, it doesn't matter if there is more noise about the military expansion, but the attack on the grassland must be kept secret to prevent the Turkic tribes from jumping into the wall after being aware of it."
An Junshan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely arrange everything properly."
…
It is said that Anjunshan is allowed to protect him, but he does not have to be as close as Zeng Hongshen.
Firstly, there is no need. As long as An Junshan is in the General's Mansion, the power of the innate grand master is enough to intimidate those young people. Secondly, it is just to show that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was suppressed by the protection of the old man Tiancan.
, now that I have changed someone, I take the opportunity to relax.
Details determine success or failure. Even if this discordant plan targets only a native of the Ancient Moon Realm, Di Xin has no intention of looking down on the other party.
…
Although no one except Di Xin knew the reason for Zeng Hongshen's absence, the news that Old Man Tiancan was temporarily absent from the General's Mansion could not be hidden from anyone. It only took half a day for it to reach Zhao Quanyou's ears.
Zhao Quanyou had gained the trust of King Yu before. If Zeng Hongshen hadn't been obstructing him, he would have created an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
Realizing that this might be an opportunity, Zhao Quanyou made some preparations and immediately went to the General's Mansion to meet with Prince Yu.
This is also a trial.
First of all, if Di Xin refuses to meet him, it means that King Yu's previous trust was all fake, and he needs to stop his losses in time and think of other ways.
This is Zhao Quanyou's character. When the plan is not completely successful, he is always vigilant and cautious.
And if Di Xin receives him and Zeng Hongshen, the innate great master, is really not here, maybe there will be a chance to create a space where only the two of them can be alone this time, so that he can complete the plan in advance.
Although Zhao Quanyou has a lot of patience, he has not completed the task for such a long time. Lord Shenjun has sent people to urge him more than once.
As for An Junshan, the innate great master who was temporarily living in the General's Mansion, as long as he was not around at the time, Zhao Quanyou was sure that he could escape unscathed after killing King Yu.
For this reason, the day before he went to the General's Mansion, except for a small number of people who stayed to confuse people, Zhao Yue'er and other people in the cavalry had been sent out of Yanque Pass for some reason.
