Chapter 260

When they heard what Zhuge Yan said, they all nodded in agreement. Although the unified grassland country is strong and fierce, it is not without weakness.

Take the Qingyang empire for example. In the past 100 years, the whole northern grassland was subject to the iron hooves of the Qingyang empire. At that time, the Three Kingdoms on the grassland were only the subordinate tribes of the Qingyang clan. However, the Qingyang people, as the owners of the grassland, must coordinate the disputes among the tribes, and arrange grassland and winter rest places for each tribe. Because only in this way, the Qingyang people can mobilize young people from various tribes to form the huge grassland cavalry of Qingyang empire.

In this way, the Qingyang Empire must coordinate the disputes among various tribes in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. If it is OK when the Qingyang clan is strong, once the Qingyang clan declines and loses the deterrent power of the grassland overlord, then those tribes who once sheltered the Qingyang like loyal dogs will become hungry wolves biting their masters, This is another reason why the Qingyang empire collapsed so quickly.

Today, however, the grassland of the Three Kingdoms is different. Twenty years ago, Qingyang was destroyed by Daqian. After Daqian's army returned home, the Bai, CHIDI and leran tribes drove out the rest of Qingyang and occupied the present Wanli grassland. Different from the complex composition of the army of Qingyang empire in those years, the army of the Three Kingdoms in the grassland now is all the soldiers of their own nationality. Even if other small tribes join in, it only accounts for a small part.

Although the military strength of the grassland Three Kingdoms is not as large as that of the Qingyang Empire at the beginning, their bravery and bravery are still superior. It may be more difficult to annihilate these cavalry soldiers composed of their own children than to fight against the Qingyang empire. After all, the Qingyang empire is the master of the name of grassland, but now the three grassland countries have different customs and combat habits. It is not difficult to defeat these three grassland kingdoms, but it is hundreds of times more difficult to destroy them than to destroy Qingyang at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Lu que said, "although the grassland in Northern Xinjiang has always been a problem for us, after all, the grassland three kingdoms are not the Qingyang empire. Although they have strong military strength, they have not established their own civilization. They only know that killing and plundering the nation can not last."

He took out a silk mounted map from his arms and put it on the stone table. He said, "this is the map recently drawn by waige, which contains all the counties in the east of Shahai. You see, as long as we annex Tianxing and leave the two countries in the south, as long as we re-establish a navy to patrol the southern sea territory, and then garrison two legions in nanlixi and around xiyuanze respectively, as for the newly acquired land, we can transfer two of the 24 guards to enter the two kings' capitals respectively, and then we can completely stabilize the situation of the newly developed land. "

As long as Daqian wants to go north again, three of the five legions of Fengxiang, Yulin, FanFeng, Huxiao and benlei in the southern battlefield can be transferred to the north Among the three legions of Panshi and Longxiang, there are six legions with more than one million troops. Although the military strength of the three northern Xinjiang countries is strong, they have only developed wholeheartedly for less than 20 years. The gathering of the six legions is enough to pacify the grassland. "

With Lu Que's words, duanmuye, zhugeyan and Lin Qingyu all have a flash of light in their eyes. They didn't expect that at the moment when the war in southern Xinjiang is in full swing, Lu que is already thinking about the future war in Northern Xinjiang, and has a clear plan in his heart. The six legions' northern expedition to the grassland will be even larger than the scale of the current battle in southern Xinjiang. The three of them just thought about it and felt excited.

"Lu que, do you really agree with Luo's words?" Lin Qingyu thought of the reason why he appeared in the topic again. He could not help calming down and asked.

"I agree with at least 80% of what he said. As a matter of fact, Duanmu is right. Time changes. As long as one generation can do a good job for one generation, the great dry will last forever. " At this point, Lu couldn't help sighing, "but the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the people's heart. If the kings of later generations are not as wise as they are now, and the ministers of later generations are not as loyal as they are now, it's hard to say that they really need to cultivate an enemy for the people of later generations, so that they won't be lazy about state affairs."

"Well, let's not talk about this. It's the future after all. Let's take a step at that time, Lu que. What I care about now is the battle of Heyan. I don't know what's in your mind?" Duanmuye asked.

Duanmu Ye is not inferior to anyone in talent and learning though he looks rough and gallant. He can see what the first Luo canglan is worried about. However, he is very proud. When he thinks of those scheming and intriguing things, his mood is a burst of boredom. Although he was born in a poor family, he was determined to be a general since he was a child. He didn't want to think about or join in such affairs.

Although he has been training in the Changqing army all this time, he has been paying close attention to the war situation in southern Xinjiang all the time. What he is most concerned about now is the battle of Heyan, because as long as Heyan is around the corner, the battle of Tianxing will come to an end. In that way, the war in southern Xinjiang will be half finished, and he can only gather the strength of the army to attack Nanli next year. The kingdom of Nanli, which is hard to applaud, can go down with one drum.

Lu Que and Zhuge Yan looked at each other, shook their heads and picked up the tea cup in front of them to taste.

When Zhuge Yan saw this, he sighed and said, "for the sake of the battle of Heyan, there has been a long debate in the outer Pavilion, but up to now, except for the strong attack, there is no strategy that can win Heyan city with 100% confidence."

"Isn't the strategy set from the beginning of this war to achieve the maximum results at the lowest possible cost? Although Heyan city is important, if we attack it by force at this time, is it not worth the loss? " Lin Qingyu asked. During the period from the landing of Fengxiang army in the South China Sea to the sweeping of the seven counties, he was still working in the outer pavilion to help the Department officials. Naturally, he knew what the tone of the war had been set from the beginning.

Zhuge Yan took a look at Lu Que and saw that he was thinking about something with his teacup. He had to continue to say, "in fact, with the advantage we have now, it's not difficult to win Heyan city with a small loss. Even if there is no blood, it's not impossible, but it will take three to six months. Now we need to win Heyan city by November, which is a bit of a problem. Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian, who are guarding Heyan City, now make it clear that they are determined to defend the city regardless of life and death, forcing us to attack the city by force. This is also the reason why there have been endless arguments within the outer Pavilion during this period of time. "

"Then why do we have to win Heyan city before October? Now that the general situation of the war and the initiative in the battlefield are in our hands, we can afford to wait. With Jinghai army and Hanhai army in hand, the problem of food supply for Fengxiang army can not be solved. Why must it be so urgent? " Duanmuye is very puzzled. In the current situation of the battlefield, Daqian has the initiative. He can fight whenever he wants. In a few months, Daqian can afford to wait. Why do you have to put yourself in a cage and have to capture Heyan city before November? This seems totally unreasonable to Duanmu Ye.

"This ~" when Zhuge Yan heard that, only a small number of people knew about it, but he didn't know whether it could be told to Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu. He couldn't help looking at Lu que.

"I'll tell you." Lu que put down the teacup he had been playing with for a long time and said, "brother, do you remember last year's animal tide in southern Xinjiang?"

"Cherish the fate of animal tide?" Both of them trembled when they heard the words. At the same time, they heard the animal tide that happened in the mountain and sea paintings more than a year ago when they were fighting for the chief. At that time, if it wasn't for Lu Que's rescue and the white wolf king's leading the wolves to stop before the animals, they might have been buried in the mountain and sea paintings. And they knew in their hearts that it was just the animal tide in the small family of mountains and seas, and its scale could not be compared with that of Xiyuan Jedi. If Xiyuan Ze really wanted to break out the animal tide, it would be a tragedy in the world.

Thinking of this, even duanmuye, who had always been brave, could not help licking his lips. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank several mouthfuls to relieve his shock. Looking at Lu que, he asked, "do you mean xiyuanze will really break out a tide of animals, so we have to capture Heyan County in November, so as to end the Tianxing war as soon as possible?"

"Not bad." In the eyes of duanmuye and Lin Qingyu, Lu nods.

"But at the beginning, it was not said that the rumor of xiyuanze's outbreak of animal tide was just that Tianxing wanted to withdraw xiyuanze's legion and crazy lion's Legion back to China and deliberately released them? The fact that you and Marquis Gu came out of xiyuanze proves this. Why do you worry about animal tide now? But what can we rely on? " Lin Qingyu hears speech is very puzzled ask a way.

"That's what I thought before, but I always have doubts about Tianxing's withdrawal of the two legions to China last year. After consulting many historical books, my father and I came to the conclusion that when the Dynasty's fortunes were declining and collapsing, there must be a tide of neighboring Jedi animals, and the difference was only the size. " Think of that may break out at any time xiyuanze animal tide, Lu lack a face dignified said.

"How could that be?" Lin Qingyu and Duanmu Ye look at each other in shock, and then look at Lu Que and Zhuge Yan. They can't help but be silent. They carefully recall the records of animal tide in the book they read.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Lu que said was true, because in history, when the tide of Jedi animals broke out, either when the dynasty outside the Jedi was declining or when the country was destroyed, they could not help thinking about it. Even in history, there are some cases where there was no outbreak of the tide of Jedi animals when the dynasty collapsed, but as long as it was possible, it had to be prevented, because the loss brought by the outbreak of the tide of animals, even now Chengping Anle, the glorious and prosperous Daqian could not afford it.

Now they finally understand why they want to capture Heyan County before November, because only in this way can they free up enough troops to set up defense at the pass around xiyuanze.

"I don't want to lose too much troops, and I don't want to end the battle of Heyan as soon as possible. Is there any way to achieve this goal?" Duanmuye stared at the map on the stone table before landing, shook his head, looked up at Lu Que and Zhuge Yan and asked.

While rubbing the string on the jade pendant with his right thumb and forefinger, Lu que said, "originally, waige and I wanted to force Heyan to surrender with the general situation of the war and the complicated factional interests in Tianxing country. However, when we wanted to join hands with Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian, we obviously had a will to die. With their ambition, talent and fame, we had a lot to do, If there is no other external force to join, this strategy will not work

Lin Qingyu thought about it and said, "according to the military book and the previous war rules, if you don't want to lose too many troops, you have to use the potential. Since the military situation is not good, what about the others?"

"All the grain stored by the Heyan garrison is in the city. It takes too much time for them to run out of grain." Zhuge Yan had been staying in waige all this time, and he knew much more about the situation in southern Xinjiang than duanmuye and Lin Qingyu. When he saw Lu que, he was lost in thought. He could not help but reply, "the terrain of Heyan city is quite high, and the water potential is not available. As for the fire situation ~"

With a bitter smile, Zhuge Yan continued, "at this time of the year, the cold and hot air of the stars meet, and there are many cloudy and rainy days. If you want to use fire as you used to do against the leiying army guarding Ning'an County in Nanli, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Alas ~" Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu sighed. Under such circumstances, they could not think of any good way. I can't help looking at Lu Que in my meditation.

"I don't have a good idea." Lu que also shook his head when he saw them. If we want to solve this problem on the battlefield, it seems impossible at present, then we have to solve it outside the battlefield. Lu que is now waiting for the news of Princess Tianyang, the seventh aunt. If she can't solve the problem in front of her, she will have to attack by force.

Thinking of this, Lu couldn't help looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, his eyes shining.

At the same time, in the Fengxiang army camp outside Heyan City, Gu Qingcheng is lifting the curtain of the army tent and looking at Heyan city through the rain, just like a huge fierce beast lying on the ground.

"I don't know when it will rain." Standing beside Gu Qingcheng and watching the rain with her, Yu Tianxiang said that the lightning in the night sky from time to time gave her a sense of urgency and made his face a little dignified.

"Last year, after I crossed Danshui with Lu que, it rained until the end of the battle of hexingyuan." Thinking of last year's rainy days with Lu que, Gu Qingcheng could not help but twitch. Although he was with Lu que, the weather was too inconvenient for a woman.

"In this way, ye Zhiqiu's fire attack plan will not work." Gu Jieyun's voice came from the military tent. As the commander in chief of the front line, Gu Jieyun's pressure is even greater than Lu Que's, because if he Yancheng can't be forced to surrender by other means, then she has to wave her army to attack. This is her last battle, but she doesn't want to lose too much in her hands.

"Since I don't want to attack the city by force, now I can only get the news from the city." Su Leyi also said, in the face of this situation, even if she has a lot of wisdom, she can't think of a feasible way to break the enemy.

"We don't have much time, and we will lose one day in a day. If the Fu Xing makes no news come from there, what shall we do?" Gu Jieyun stood up and walked back and forth in the account for two times. For the first time in her military career, she realized that the pressure of time and the life of Fengxiang's soldier was on her, which made her unable to calm down for a moment.

Su Leyi saw a haze in her eyes, but when she saw the bloody Phoenix flag representing the Fengxiang army outside the tent, her eyes became sharp and she said, "we'll wait another ten days. If there is no result at the turn of the two months, we'll attack the city. Since it's a war between the two countries, there's no blood left. It's worth paying some price for unifying the southern border. We are Fengxiang army. As soldiers, we can't live up to the bloody Phoenix flag bestowed by Emperor Taizu. "

Gu Jieyun, Gu Qingcheng, and Yu Tianxiang were shocked when they heard the words. They also looked at the bloody Phoenix flag in the high hanging camp. This flag not only represents the Fengxiang army, but also represents the determination of Da Qian to win a war at any cost. In the past wars, countless people were weak because the flag was covered with armor, Since they came here, they must face the flag which has been handed down for more than 200 years and which has been guarded to the death by countless people.

"Auntie, Soviet division. In fact, we'd better divide our forces than wait here." Gu Qingcheng put down the curtain of the tent, cut off the wind and rain outside the tent, and turned to say.

"Divide? How to divide the troops? " Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi looked at each other and asked at the same time.

"Now general Chen Bing of Zhuge is under Pingshan pass, but all his soldiers are from Xihe County except the elite of yunqi in 1000 scattered troops. We'd better strengthen our forces there and take Pingshan pass first." Gu Qingcheng took two steps and said, "the reason why Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian want to stick to it is that as long as they block us here, Tianxing king is safe. Then we might as well break Pingshan pass and send a light cavalry to attack Tianxing King capital. In this way, the two people in the city may not have such a firm heart of defense, and the Dark Phoenix will be able to better act."

The three people in the account are all bright in their eyes, because Gu Qingcheng's strategy is very feasible.
