Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1114 Military Discussion
The root of this dispute in Beiliang actually lies in whether those young people can shoulder the heavy responsibility and live up to the heroic sacrifice of the Beiliang border troops.

Even if it is impossible to cut off the Northern Mang army's route back to the north, it is necessary to inflict serious damage on the Northern Dynasty's territory, forcing the Northern Mang army into a situation of "being alone and deep in the enemy's territory".

Otherwise, no matter how many enemies this cavalry unit killed, even if all the civil and military officials in the imperial court were killed.

As long as Jubei City is lost, Youyun Road, which is short of troops, will inevitably fall.

Li Yang will definitely not be willing to be lonely, and even Gu Jiantang will definitely take action.

At this critical moment, Xu Beizhi finally spoke, "Back then, the general led the Xu family army to fight in the south and the north, and trampled on the six kingdoms. I remember that the Shu King Chen Zhibao, Chu Duhu, and Yuan Tongling were all very young. Xu Pu and Wu Qi were not that old. Even General Yan was considered a young and strong general at that time. That's why the Liyang Military Department had the sour irony of "a young lieutenant and a grown-up general". Whether it was Yue Pengju and Wu Jie, or Cao Wei, Yu Luan, Dao Ning, and Emei, they were not the kind of "masters" who only talked about war on paper. Even Cao Wei, who had the least military achievements among the five, had made great military achievements when Youyun Dao crushed Beimang's plan. The rest of them had great military achievements, such as Yue Wu, who were originally unknown. The prince boldly used them to lead 3,000 cavalry into the Western Regions. In less than three months, they swept across the Western Regions like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. You must know that Xie Xichu and Kou Jianghuai, who are now known as the twin pillars of Western Chu, were originally unknown. It was the Queen of Western Chu who boldly used them and gained their current power. With such an example, why are you not at ease?"

At this point, Xu Beizhi smiled and said, "Or is it that our young generals and cavalry are not worth mentioning? They are not even as good as the cobbled-together Western Chu cavalry?"

It is better to provoke someone. As soon as Xu Beizhi said this, he immediately aroused
Xu Beizhi took a few steps and came to the map, and continued: "We Beiliang is adopting this strategy to force Beimang to follow us in this "bad strategy". As long as our Beiliang cavalry is in Jubei City, the people of Beimang will not be able to split their troops and will continue to consume us. The prince has obtained a million dan of grain from the south this time. After the autumn harvest of Beiliang next year, Beimang can't afford it more than us. This is also the confidence of the prince to fight a decisive battle with Beimang in Jubei. If he only thinks of sacrificing the border troops in exchange for the three states, the prince doesn't need to take the risk of going south to Jing'an Road. "

Xu Beizhi pointed to the location of Jubei City on the map, and suddenly stopped smiling. He said in a deep voice: "Now the opportunity has come! It's right in front of us!"

Xu Fengnian looked at this guy and smiled slightly.

Xu Beizhi spoke passionately, but it was still not enough to arouse the ambition and passion of the Spring and Autumn veterans who had experienced many battles in the conference hall.

Jin Queqiao Zhou Kang is recognized as a general with a violent temper in the Northern Liang border army. He has always believed that the best defense is offense. He probably knows that the result of today's meeting may determine the survival of Northern Liang. He did not add fuel to the fire. Instead, he said carefully: "The talent of those young people in leading troops is beyond doubt. Now I want to confirm one thing. Can these newly formed cavalry really deal with Huang Songpu and others?"

As one of the few civil officials in Beiliang, Xu Beizhi suddenly made a move that made the meritorious generals in the room laugh and cry. He pointed at the King of Beiliang not far away and said, "You have to ask him. Today's dispute was caused by him."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I believe everyone present has already known about Yue Pengju and Wu Jie's abilities from the intelligence from the Fushuifang. They are here at the scene, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them after the meeting. I have confidence in their abilities."

"Now, I want to talk about the battle of Jubei City. I know that after the first battle between Liang and Mang, the military strength of Beimang is still strong, otherwise it would not give us Beiliang such a headache. Xu Fengnian looked at the map of the territory of Beimang and Nanchao bordering Beiliang, and said softly: "But in the Beimang government, there are many problems that are difficult to reverse. There are more undercurrents than we Beiliang imagined. After nearly a year of fermentation, the consequences of Beimang's defeat have begun to appear. Inside Beimang, I want to make sure that the confrontation between the two surnames of Yelu and Murong in the Beimang officialdom and the four-class system of the people in the folk, and the old woman who threatened to sell our heads by the pound, can no longer suppress the situation with an iron fist. This is all favorable for me Beiliang to launch a decisive battle next year."

Beimang has always adopted a four-class system of people, dividing the people in the territory into four levels: mang people, barbarians, northerners, and southerners.

In the past, the military was strong and internal troubles were not obvious.

But after the Liang-Mang war, in order to deal with the powerful Beiliang, the empress in the Beimang imperial court had no choice but to adopt a high-pressure policy, squeezing out the last strength of Beimang to maintain a strong military force to deal with Beiliang and Liyang.

Coupled with Beiliang's secret contacts, the situation in the five states of Beimang can be imagined.

"The so-called strategic decisive battle is a gamble on the fate of Beiliang and the future of the world. Only after experiencing this war, will Beiliang be truly qualified to compete for the world." Yan Wenluan thought deeply and nodded, "This idea... is very interesting."

Then, Yan Wenluan looked at Chen Yunchui, He Zhonghu and other old guys who had been in the military with him with a complicated expression, "We are old. Although we can still ride a horse, draw a bow and kill people, we are still old compared to Yu Luandao's group of young people."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I believe that the younger generation of Beiliang will never rest on the laurels of the older generation and will definitely surpass them. I also believe that everyone in this room can defend Jubei City."

Xu Fengnian slammed his hand on the table. "Three hundred thousand versus four hundred thousand. If there must be a reason why we can't fail, it's that... our Beiliang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world!"

This meeting, which concerned the fate of the world, ended with Xu Fengnian's resounding confidence.

Xu Fengnian then took Xu Beizhi to visit veteran generals Yan Wenluan, He Zhonghu and others.

These veteran generals of the Spring and Autumn Period left to him by Xu Xiao decided to fully support Xu Fengnian's insistence on fighting the battle against Beicheng.

However, during the conversation, we talked about

This person is Li Yanchao.

Li Yanchao was as famous as Dian Xiongchu, Wei Fucheng and Ning Emei in the Northern Liang army, and they were listed as the Four Teeth of Northern Liang.

It can be said that apart from the old men of the Spring and Autumn Period such as Yan Wenluan, Chen Yunchui and He Zhonghu, he is the only brave general second to Liu Jinu.

He is in his prime and is an important general who can fight and win tough battles for the Xu family for another 20 years.

However, because his personality is similar to that of Li Mofan, deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army, and Cao Xiaojiao of Youzhou, he is quite extreme and arrogant, a notorious troublemaker, and has both good and bad reputations.

Therefore, he is not as good as Yue Pengju and Wu who came later, and is even not as good as Ning Emei who is also a fourth-year student.

Among the entire Northern Liang army, Xu Fengnian, Yan Wenluan and others are most optimistic about Yue Pengju and Wu Jie who rose to prominence in the Liang-Mang War.

Yan Wenluan and the others even believed that as long as they were given enough time, they would surely grow into future leaders of Beiliang like Chen Zhibao.
