Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 109: You've Got a Plan!

"General, the main force of Xia's army at this time must still be in Mou'an County. The last general asks for orders, and is willing to lead the headquarters to surprise Xia's camp!"

"General, Mou'an County and Santai County are related to the safety of the northern region. They must not fall into the enemy's hands. The last general is also bold enough to ask the cavalry to raid Hechuan County, which is occupied by the Xia Army. In this way, the Xia Army's supplies will be cut off. Don't care about each other!"

"That's right, the final general can lead more than ten thousand troops and storm Mou'an County. If he moves fast enough, he can block the commander of the Xia Army in Mou'an County, and this battle can save the decline of the northern border!"

A group of generals pleaded for orders one after another.

In all honesty, what the generals said has merit.

The main force of the Xia army is in Mou'an. If the cavalry intersperses and takes Hechuan County behind Mou'an County, it can cut off its follow-up supplies and block its main force here.Then let the army attack fiercely. If it succeeds, it will surely turn defeat into victory and change the rotten war in the northern border.

At this time, Cheng Bushi was not moved by the generals' advice.

He stared at the map in front of him, pondered for a moment, and finally scolded in a low voice:
"This plan is too risky. You can think of it later. Could it be that Xia Jun didn't think of it? The destruction of Mou'an County shows that not all Xia Jun's generals are full of money! If you despise Xia Jun any more, you will suffer. Myself Losing one's life is a small matter, but if the country loses its northern territory, it will be a death in vain!"

All the generals were reprimanded, but they just lowered their heads, showing shame on their faces.

Cheng Bushi didn't say too much, he lowered his head and glanced at the map, pondering in his mind.

A general couldn't bear his temper, and said:

"General, Mou'an County has been destroyed, and Xia's army will surely harass the transportation of food and grass in the future. Even if you don't take the risk of sending troops, you should take advantage of the present and let the counties in the rear raise food and grass materials, and transport them to the camp as soon as possible to stockpile them, just in case! "

A flash of determination flashed in Cheng Bushi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's talk about this after the war! General Qingche, where is Mengguan?"

Immediately, a general stepped forward, cupped his hands and shouted:
"The end is here!"

"Lead [-] infantry, go to the Xia army camp at the beginning of Mao Shi tomorrow, and attack at the end of Mao Shi. But remember, feint attack at this time, the time is not enough, so don't attack with all your strength!"

"Yes!"

"Captain, Chu Bo!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead [-] cavalry, and immediately march, galloping on horseback, showing the posture of intending to attack Hechuan County by surprise. But after marching for [-] miles, they turned around and made a surprise attack, and took the Xia army camp directly! Remember, don't love to fight. After burning the camp, Return to the army immediately!"

"Yes!"

"General Zhenan, Chu Fei! General Pingkou, Xu Hongyang!"

"The last general is here!" The two generals cupped their hands in unison.

Cheng Bushi pointed to a place on the map and said:
"The two of you, each lead [-] soldiers and horses, form an army, and march all the way in a hurry. All the way is solid, continue to march towards Mou'an County. The whole road is false, and the soldiers are still scattered on the road, and then secretly gather at Changpo Ridge!"

General Chu Fei of Zhen'an glanced at the map, then expressed doubts, and said:

"This Changpo Ridge is not far from our army camp, and it's not the only way for Xia's reinforcements to pass. Why do we gather here?"

Cheng Bushi didn't answer, but looked at the two of them coldly, and said word by word:

"You don't need to ask too many questions, just follow the military order!"

The two were taken aback for a moment, then immediately closed their mouths, cupped their hands and said:

"Follow the general's orders!"
-
Among the Yunguo army, the sound of the drums was rumbling, and it rang in the ears, and people could hear it, and the blood in their hearts surged.

With Cheng Buzhi's order, the war machine of the Yunguo army officially started operating!
The gate of the camp was opened wide, and three thousand cavalry took the lead, stamping their hooves together, and the sound shook all directions, marching towards Hechuan County with great fanfare.

General Chu Fei of Zhen'an rode his horse and led the soldiers, rushed to the gate first, stopped his horse, turned his head to look behind him, and kept urging loudly:

"Quick, faster! Don't stop for a moment! Those who delay the military plane, beheaded!"

The imperial infantry of Yunguo rushed out of the barracks one after another in a disorderly formation under the urging of the general at a hurried pace.

But at this time, there was a rustling sound in the mountains and forests not far from the Yunguo camp.

"Did you see clearly?"

"See it clearly!"

"Quickly report to the Commander!"

"Yes!"

In Xiaguo's camp, King Qi, who was supposed to be still in Mo'an County, was sitting safely in the handsome tent, listening to the report of his spies, with a deliberate look on his face, and said:

"The total number of Yun's troops is only 4. Previously, Mou'an and Santai each had [-] troops stationed there. Now there are more than [-] troops. In other words, there are only two to three thousand soldiers left in the camp at this time? "

The spies immediately cupped their hands and said:
"Marshal, it is absolutely true at this time, there will be no mistakes or omissions!"

King Qi nodded and said:

"This commander knows, it's just that the commander of the Yun army is cautious and rigorous in using his troops, and he must not be negligent! By the way, did the spy Zeng keep an eye on the army dispatched by the Yun country?"

"Back to the commander, we have already sent. This time, we have sent all the scouts from the Centurion, and there will be absolutely no problems!"

King Qi nodded, sat on the handsome seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

About half an hour later, outside the handsome tent, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

King Qi suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"Is the spy back?"

A figure ran into the handsome tent panting, knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said:
"Commander, the direction of the [-] cavalrymen of the Yun Army has been found out, and they are now heading towards Hechuan County!"

King Qi sneered when he heard this, and said:
"This commander has long been taught the trick of bluffing a shot. Hechuan County has already had [-] troops defending it, but [-] cavalry, even if it is a real attack, there is no need to worry!"

"Yes!"

"Report, Commander! [-] cloud troops are heading towards Mou'an County. Along the way, they marched in a hurry, causing confusion in the queue, low morale, and scattered soldiers..."

Upon hearing this, King Qi keenly grasped the key words, and interrupted:
"Separated? After all, they are the elite of the cloud army. Can a quick march cause the soldiers to disperse?"

The spy was taken aback for a moment, recalled for a moment, and said:

"Perhaps it was because of the hasty march that the soldiers were exhausted."

King Qi sneered when he heard this, and said:
"Haha, marching like this, doesn't it mean that half of the soldiers are gone before the battle is fought?"

He got up and looked at the map behind him, glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and finally stopped his gaze at a place called Changpo Ridge on the map.

King Qi couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Hmph, here it is!"

Hearing the words, the generals around him were immediately puzzled and said:

"What's the meaning of this, Commander?"

"The camp of the Yun army is related to whether the northern part of the country of Yun can be defended, and no mistakes are allowed! Moreover, the commander of the Yun army is cautious and will not take any risks. This time, the troops will be divided into three groups to attack Mou'an, Hechuan, Our army camp. Make a posture that you want to block our army in Mou'an County here and wipe out all of them."

Hearing this, the general blinked and said:

"The commander-in-chief is saying that this Yunjun didn't actually intend to do so?"

King Qi laughed loudly and said:

"The commander-in-chief of the Yun army is slightly superior. This plan is a gamble that he can see that the main force of our army is not in Mou'an County. In the end, as I expected, he can see the reality of our army at a glance. But it's okay It can be seen that with his stable temperament, he is afraid of our army's ambush halfway, so he will not dare to send troops to rescue easily! So, in order to prevent the war from continuing to rot, he has only one way!"

King Qi paused, and continued:
"He wants to use the Yunguo camp as a bait to lure the main force of our army to attack. The so-called lost soldiers who ambushed Changlingpo will support the Yunjun camp. When our army is exhausted, they will fight back and repel our army. The cavalry sent to circle back was not aimed at Hechuan County, but wanted to turn back halfway and destroy my camp. If the camp is lost, it will be disadvantageous to attack the Yunjun camp, and the commander can only retreat temporarily! "

King Qi couldn't help showing a hint of complacency while he was talking, and said:
"Being so cautious, you don't want to win, you just want to retreat our army temporarily. Commander Yun's methods are as expected by the commander! It's not in vain that the commander has spent so long, and specially set up this game for him!"

It turns out that the main force of the Xia Kingdom's army is not in Mou'an County at this time!But at some point, it was hidden by King Qi.

This is what he wanted Cheng Bushi to know.Because of knowing this, Cheng Bushi will fall into his own scheme step by step as he expected.

Obviously, King Qi had already figured out Cheng Bushi's method of using troops when he fought Cheng Bushi during this period of time.Seeing his cautious temperament, he specially prepared a big game of chess for him!

When the generals around him heard it, they suddenly realized, and said:
"So that's how it is! This commander of the Yunjun army is really not to be underestimated! It's just that he never imagined that the commander-in-chief has seen through his temperament long ago, and arranged for his manpower early, just waiting for him!"

King Qi's eyes sharpened, he no longer hesitated to wait, grabbed the iron helmet on the desk, put it on his head, pressed his sword on his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Pass down the commander's order!"

All the generals in the tent immediately bent down and cupped their hands, and responded in unison:

"Please order, Commander!"

"Tomorrow, the Yun army will send a large army to pretend to attack our camp. Chang An, you will lead the [-] soldiers in the camp to face the incoming Yun army. You don't need to win, just delay!"

"Yes!"

"Ma Mao, you lead the Zhenyi Battalion with [-] soldiers and horses to the Changlingpo area, and make arrangements early to stop the enemy rushing to help the Yunjun camp! You don't need to win and increase casualties, as long as you don't let the Yunjun reinforce the camp. !"

"The last will obey!"

"The rest of the army, follow me to attack the Yun army's camp! If he wants our army's camp, just give it to him! But, my commander will accept his Yun army's camp!"

"The handsome and wise!"

With an order, the [-] soldiers and horses in the Xia Guo army camp immediately left the camp to meet the incoming [-] Yun army.

In addition, a beacon was lit in Xia Jun's barracks.The wolf smoke rose, billowed, and shot straight into the sky, which was very conspicuous.

In the hidden mountains and forests in the distance, looking at the conspicuous wolf smoke, the tens of thousands of Xia Jun who had been hiding for a long time, immediately gathered under the urging of the general.
-
Yongzhou camp.

Xiao Cheng sat on the top of the commander-in-chief, and was promoted again to gather generals.

Zhendong General Shi An took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"Report to Your Majesty, the 13 soldiers in the frontier army have been reorganized and are waiting for His Majesty's dispatch!"

In fact, there is no need to rectify anything. After receiving the news that the frontier army has recovered, the old Taiwei in Shicheng County even resumed the supply of military equipment, food and grass for the frontier army.

After replenishing the required ordnance and supplies, there is no need to worry about the frontier troops being purged by the court. The morale of the army immediately rose, and the fighting spirit of Megatron Tiannan in the past was restored.At this time, there is also the buff of the national crisis, and the soldiers are all gearing up, which is definitely worth using.

Xiao Cheng nodded, stood up, and said in a deep voice:
"The situation of the country is so critical, we can't delay any longer! Generals, obey orders!"

The generals in the tent clasped their hands together and shouted in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, please order!"

"General Fenwu, Chu Shi!"

The tall and burly man took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"The end is here!"

This Chushi, according to the value displayed by the golden finger, is basically a weakened version of Yang Dayan.The force is more than 80, and the control is more than 60. Other than that, other attributes are unsightly.

But this person's loyalty value, after the incident a few days ago, has increased the most, reaching [-], and he is definitely a trustworthy person.

"Assign [-] frontier troops to your command, and then you can set off and head towards the northern border. Don't stop, and the general who rushes to help the northern border has no idea! When you arrive in the northern border, serve under his command!"

Cheng didn't know his subordinates, and lacked a strong general to charge forward, so he happened to send this person there.

General Fenwu Chu Shi heard the words, his face was excited, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Follow Your Majesty's order!"

Xiao Cheng turned his head, looked at Shi An, and said:
"General Zhendong!"

Shi An bowed his head and saluted, respectfully said:

"The end is here!"

"The land of Yongzhou is bordered by Xia Kingdom in the north, and the land of the Li Dynasty in the south. It is very important! You lead the remaining frontier troops and guard this place, and you will never allow any mistakes!" Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice.

When Shi An heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly:
"Yes!"

Previously, he was elected as the interim coach by the generals only because the frontier army reported to the regiment to keep warm.But after today, with Xiao Cheng's order, he will be the real commander of the frontier army!
Xiao Cheng glanced at everyone present, and suddenly said:

"Xia Guo harassed our territory, causing the situation in the northern counties to deteriorate. In order to force Xia Guo to return to the army to rescue and relieve the crisis in the northern border, I want to lead the army to go deep into the hinterland of Xia Guo and harass the counties and counties!"

After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, all the generals in the tent also showed expressions of disbelief, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Cheng, wondering if he heard it wrong.

Shi An was stunned for a moment, but saw that the generals in the tent were all surprised. Only then did he realize that it wasn't because he heard it wrong, and couldn't help persuading him:

"Your Majesty is concerned with the stability of the family and the country, and the hope of the government and the public, so don't put yourself in danger! General Chu leads the troops to the north, and will definitely help General Zhenbei defeat the army of Xia Guo!"

All the generals also reacted when they heard the words, and they clapped their hands together and shouted:
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said:

"Yongzhou is too far away from the northern border, and it will take more than two months to travel day and night. It is not advisable! The southwestern frontier army of the Xia Kingdom has the duty to guard the southwest border. If the hinterland is attacked, it must be transferred back to defense. In this way, it can be solved. The situation in the northern border is dangerous. Even if the Xia army does not return to defense immediately, it can still attack and harass its supply troops to help the soldiers in the northern border."

Shi An heard the words, thought about it, and said:

"What Your Majesty said is naturally reasonable. But among the frontier troops we are waiting for, there is no shortage of brave generals, so why should Your Majesty go there in person?"

Xiao Cheng would not reveal his real purpose, it was to lure the old monk to take action!And it's hard to open a trial card, if you don't use it, it will be a waste!
He couldn't explain too much, he just waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, don't try to persuade me any more, I've made up my mind! Today, among the generals, choose those who dare to fight to the death, and follow me into the hinterland of Xia Kingdom!"

Seeing Xiao Cheng's complexion darkened and his appearance of making a decision with one word, even Shi An didn't dare to say more.He had no choice but to lower his head in embarrassment, cupped his hands and said:

"Yes!"

At this time, a general suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the last general has the courage to serve His Majesty and go straight to the hinterland of Xia Kingdom!"

Before the words fell, another general stood up and said high-spiritedly:
"How shameless is Xia Guo taking advantage of others' danger! The last general is willing to go together and teach Xia Guo a lesson!"

"Okay, well said! Me too!"

All of a sudden, several generals in the tent stepped forward one after another, all of them were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to make Xia Guo regret it.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the several generals who stood up, laughed loudly, nodded and said:
"Hahaha, good! Since you are so loyal, yes! Our monarchs and ministers are of the same mind, and the Xia Kingdom will be turned upside down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the generals shouted in unison.

Wang Xiao, who was standing aside, looked at Xiao Cheng with a look of relief, as if he was extremely satisfied with the performance of these generals, and rolled his eyes cryptically.

Tsk, I really know how to act!
　The deployment of soldiers and horses between the two sides was not reasonable at the beginning, so it was revised.

　　I read it before posting, and I think it should be clear.

　　But I am a careless person, and I do not rule out that there is something that is not clearly written. If you have something that you don’t understand, tell me, and I can try to express it more clearly.
