The eight hundred and fortieth chapters strive for complete annihilation
Young Master Liu suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. If Li Baiyu hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have thought that Li Baiyu had changed.
Suddenly Liu Mingzhi remembered what the Queen asked him, do you believe that a tiger father has no dog sons?
After seeing Li Baiyu's current appearance, Liu Mingzhi admitted that the tiger father really had no son. There was no question of Li Baiyu's ability to govern, but his charismatic character was far beyond ordinary people.
He secretly glanced at the princes on the side and Mr. Liu shrugged slightly. How could there be such a huge difference between the fathers and people of the same family?
Is it because she is not a mother willing?
Apart from this reason, Liu Mingzhi really can’t think of any other reason.
To be fair, Li Baiyu does have a good character and is a model of a benevolent king. The third princess, Li Yan, has never behaved in any unruly and willful way since the two of them got married.
To the two elders and to Qi Yun and her sisters, they have never acted like they are members of the royal family.
I couldn't help but think of Queen Nangong Meng. Maybe Li Baiyu and the third princess inherited Queen Nangong Meng's elegant and generous character more.
"Your Highness, Ganzhou and Suzhou have 200,000 troops. Half of them are new soldiers who just went to Xinjiang last year. I am afraid they lack experience in battle. The countries in the Western Regions have raised 280,000 troops. We are outnumbered. Although we have the advantage of city walls, we cannot be careless. If
At present, it is unclear whether the 270,000-strong army will be divided and attacked, or whether it will be encircled together!"
Li Baiyu nodded clearly: "How should I respond to Master Liu's wishes?"
"If the enemy attacks separately, Ganzhou and Suzhou will not have any big worries. If they are united and try to withstand an army of 270,000 with the strength of one city, they will probably suffer heavy losses, and we still don't know where the enemy is.
What is the configuration of the troops? Are there any weapons for siege? Now His Highness must immediately send a message to the other four generals from their respective defenses to dispatch some troops to support Ganzhou and Suzhou. It is best to attack the enemy from both front and rear and defeat them.
Annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Li Baiyu nodded hesitantly, wandered on the dragon platform with his hands behind his back and pondered for a while before looking at Liu Mingzhi: "How much should we divide our troops to support?"
"This..." Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, I plan to discuss with the generals the number of troops to send!"
"That's right, Lord Liu and all your lords, please come up with a way to resolve the siege of the Northern Territory as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the generals: "Old Duke, Marquis Rongwei, Marquis Jingyuan, Uncle Renwei, Uncle Shouning... How about a brief introduction from behind?"
"good!"
"Master Song from the Ministry of War and Master Jiang from the Ministry of Hubu, how about a brief introduction from behind?"
"I have no objection!"
Liu Mingzhi, a dozen people in the back hall of Qinzheng Hall, sat on chairs and looked at a huge map at the back of the hall.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wan Buhai, the Duke of Wu on the side: "Old Duke, you are a veteran in the army. How about the younger generation want to hear your opinion first?"
Duke Wu stared at the map for a while and then pondered: "There is no way to send troops to Fuzhou and Jeju. The distance between them is too far. If the enemy forces are given up for a long march, they will suffer heavy losses. Now there is only Yunzhou.
The two cities of Yingzhou can quickly rush to the aid of Ganzhou and Suzhou!"
Marquis Rongwei nodded in agreement: "What the old Duke said is right. The cities of Jezhou and Fuzhou are too far away from Ganzhou and Suzhou. It is not that easy to provide effective support. In addition, the terrain of Fuzhou and Jezhou is flat, and the army
The start of the flying dust cannot be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks. Once they know that the troops in Fuzhou City, Jeju are empty, they will be in trouble if they ignore the mutual peace treaty and take the opportunity to attack!"
Marquis Jingyuan pointed to the map of Ganzhou and drew a crescent-shaped semicircle: "This is the territory of the Nahanche tribe under the Turkic Royal Court. It is only a hundred miles away from Ganzhou. Jeju's reinforcements are bound to rush to help Ganzhou.
To alert the Turkic scouts of the Nahanche tribe, we have temporarily made good friends with the Huyan tribe, but our relationship with the Turkic royal court is not very good! Jeju's 100,000-strong army can dispatch 30,000 to 50,000, but the Nahanche tribe has 100,000
If the remaining cavalrymen encounter peace, nothing will happen to them, but if they get weapons, Jeju's supporting soldiers will probably be..."
Shouningbo pointed his hand at the position of Yingzhou: "It's just that Jeju and Fuzhou can't rush to help. If Yingzhou wants to rush to help, I'm afraid it will be under a lot of pressure. The border trade is just outside Yingzhou city.
Shanhaiguan, the city has a complex gathering of merchants and people, including Jin Kingdom and Turkic spies, which is also a big problem!"
Wan Buhai set his sights on the location of Yingzhou and Jeju: "The most important issue now is that no one can confirm whether the Turks and the Jin Kingdom still abide by the peace treaty, and whether there will be a war between Dalong and the Western Regions."
To add insult to injury and stab someone in the back, after all, countries cannot be bound by a treaty!"
"Wouldn't this mean that only Yunzhou can support us?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Yu who was speaking: "Sir Song, do you have any good suggestions? How many troops should be sent?"
Song Yu shook his head slightly: "I and Mr. Jiang will only provide you with troops, food and fodder. I still leave the marching and fighting matters to you generals. Don't cause trouble to you and be a disservice!"
Wan Buhai sighed and looked at Liu Mingzhi: "Master Liu, you are the regent and the honorary white-clothed Confucian commander of Northern Xinjiang. Your ability to march and form troops is not much worse than us old guys. Tell me what you think!"
"
Liu Mingzhi lay on the map and observed it carefully, sorting out his thoughts while thinking about the meaning of Wan Buhai and others.
"My lords, my intention is to send troops from the four cities at the same time. However, the soldiers from Jeju and Fuzhou will not go to support Ganzhou and Suzhou but will be evenly distributed! They can not only rush to support Ganzhou and Suzhou but also effectively deter the Jin and Turks.
people!"
Wan Buhai and others thought for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "Adjust defense?"
"That's right, adjust defenses. Only in this way can we take care of both the front and the back, achieve the purpose of rushing to support Ganzhou and Suzhou, and guard against the Turks and the Jin Kingdom from stabbing in the back!"
"How many people are suitable for deployment?"
"Forty thousand people, 20,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 new recruits each. Since we are going to rush for reinforcements, don't waste this opportunity to train troops. With elite soldiers and new recruits, we can mobilize 160,000 people from four cities. Since we have already rushed to reinforcements, 160,000 people will cooperate with us."
The 200,000 defenders in Suzhou have more than 300,000 troops. Not to mention defending against the city wall, even in a field battle with real swords and guns, they are not afraid of the 270,000 troops in the Western Regions!"
"Master Liu, do you mean to encircle and annihilate these enemy troops or to expel these enemy troops?"
There was a sharp look in Liu Mingzhi's eyes: "How can we allow them to retreat without declaring war and invade our territory, and strive to annihilate them all? We really can't talk about chasing the poor aggressors anymore!"
Wan Buhai frowned for a while and shook his head: "It is unrealistic to strive for total annihilation. To completely wipe out 270,000 enemy troops, we must transport baggage on a large scale. It will take at least fifteen days to reach Gansu."
If we go to Suzhou, it will take at least eighteen days! If we travel lightly, it will only take six to eight days. Whether Ganzhou and Suzhou can withstand fifteen days is a matter of course!"
"What the old man said is right, it will only take about fourteen or five days to transport the grain and grass from the Ministry of Revenue to Ganzhou!"
Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and thought for a while: "Master Jiang, can you take the accounts of Ganzhou Suzhou with you?"
