Chapter 865 Main Attack Direction
Outside Wangjing City, a frowning Jiang Xiang and an excited Li Benshen stood in front of Gao Yihuan, with more than 3000 foreign cavalry behind them.

Gao Yihuan looked at the two of them, "Batuer broke the business of King Gu, killed the people of King Gu, and made it clear that he didn't pay attention to Gu Wang. This bad breath, you say, can our Great Wei swallow it?" ?”

At this time, Jiang Xiang already knew about his appointment. It took time for the Wei State to mobilize troops. As a vanguard, he rescued Yeerqiang first and bought time for the army to go out.

Jiang Xiang could only say: "The minister went to take care of him!"

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed, "Okay, that's what I've been waiting for! It's not too late, you start now, and stick to it until King Gu leads the army over, and Gu will serve you wine to celebrate."

At present, Jiang Xiang is leading [-] vassal soldiers to the west. He will join Li Benshen, Li Kui's troops, and several garrisons in Dunhuang and other places at Yumen Foreign Exchange. There are more than [-] troops in total, and then advance towards Yarkand.

After Gao Yihuan waited for them to leave, he returned to Wang Jing, and then went directly to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to convene all the generals to discuss.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was sitting drinking tea, and the soldiers were setting up a sand table in the hall. After a while, the sand table was set up, and all the generals also went outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, you are ready!" A soldier saluted.

Gao Yihuan immediately stood up, "Let everyone in!"

At this time, Wei Jun's generals entered the lobby one after another, saluting Gao Yihuan one after another. Gao Yihuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come and see!"

In the past two years, Wei's caravans have spread all over the Western Regions and Mongolia, reaching the shores of Lake Baikal in the north and Samarkand in the west through Congling. While they were trading, they also collected a lot of local information for the Western Wei Dynasty.

Li Dingguo, Jin Shenghuan, Xu Heihu and others surrounded the sand table, and the situation was clear at a glance.

In the northwest of the State of Wei, the territory of the Oirats expanded rapidly. To the west of the Oirats, there was another force that was even bigger than the Oirats, that is, the Raksha Kingdom.

At this time, Gao Yihuan said: "It is estimated that there are about 16 Oirat cavalry in total. Baturhui led an army of 6 troops and invaded Yarkand, leaving 6000 people to guard the house in Moxi. Now the lonely king has sent two One army, led by Wu Sangui and Babu, ordered to gather about 7000 people in Hetao Mongolia to attack Moxi. The other army was led by Jiang Xiang and Li Benshen, with a total of [-] people to reinforce Yarkand. It is very weak, and if you want to defeat Wala, you need the lonely king to mobilize troops. What do you think, how should Wei fight this battle?"

As early as when Wala annexed Mobei Mongolia and approached Hetao, Wei State began to spy on Wala's information.

Two months ago, after Oirat invaded Yarkand, the caravan brought back news, and Gao Yihuan knew there would be a battle, so he was already making preparations.

The information obtained by the scouts and the caravan was marked on the huge sand table by the army, so that the generals could see the situation clearly at a glance.

At this time, Gao Yihuan added: "The lonely king first explained that the roads between the Western Regions and Moxi are far away, and there are no supplies along the way. The horse troops of the three towns, as well as the Mongols and Tibetans who called Qinghai are accompanying, and the war must be ended quickly."

After defeating the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Gao Yihuan was not afraid of the Oirat cavalry. The times are changing, and the identity of the cavalry is also changing.

The main factors restricting Wei's defeat of Oala are the ground environment, the vast grasslands and boundless deserts, the neighbors, and the resulting logistical pressure.

At this time, Wei State could not afford the transportation of grain, and did not have the strength to maintain the nearly thousand-mile grain road.

A farmer transported a hundred catties of grain from Guanzhong to Shache. It took more than a month to go back and forth, and most of the grain would be eaten, and he had to bring water and the grain back.

Therefore, the State of Wei could only dispatch the horse army, bring its own rations, and adopt the method of nomadic warfare to quickly defeat the Wala people.

Jin Shenghuan heard the words, glanced at the sand table, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I thought it was easy. Baturhui led the main force and attacked Yarkand, then we will rush forward on light cavalry and kill Mobei. At that time, Baturhui will get news, the army must be withdrawn."

Everyone in the hall discussed that the Oirats had a total of 16 troops, [-] were at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and [-] were staying at the north of Tianshan Mountain. The Wei army wanted a quick decision, and attacking Mobei was indeed the fastest and fastest way.

At that moment, many people agreed, but at this time Li Dingguo said: "Your Majesty, I think it's not right. Moxi Mongolia is not concentrated. If they swim without fighting, we will not be able to force Baturhui to withdraw in a short time. The Mongols are difficult to deal with because they have no fixed place to live. I see the territory of Moxi, which is bigger than Guanzhong, and Oala may have been prepared for a long time. If the surprise attack fails, it will be a problem whether they can be found. The minister thinks that Yeer will be rescued Qiang, there is only one chance, it's better to be on the safe side and make the final decision."

Gao Yihuan pondered slightly, Moxi was indeed too big, Baburhun only took away 10 people, probably to guard against the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Mongolian tribes roamed the grasslands, and most of the 6 people left were not together.

If the Wei army knew the locations of the various tribes in Oirat, they might be able to succeed in a sudden attack, but once the Oirats were prepared and the tribes wandered to avoid the battle, it would take a lot of time to find them on the vast grassland.

Jin Shenghuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Dingguo, his tone was a little uncomfortable, "Then how does Li Dudu want to make a final decision!"

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "I thought that to attack Mobei, we could only send partial troops to disperse Baturhun's energy and shake his determination. The Mongols are good at fighting, and our army chased him. He would run away and even shoot a few arrows back. If we retreat, they will catch up again and attack at the right time, just like a pack of wolves. If we attack Mobei, if Oirat does not fight us decisively, the battle will inevitably drag on for a long time, and the army will inevitably have poor logistics in the end, so we can only retreat, which will give Oirat a chance There are many cities in Yarkand. When we arrive at Shache, Baturhun will definitely fight us, otherwise his plan to attack Yarkand will be regarded as a failure. As long as Wala is willing to fight decisively, with the strength of Wei, he will definitely be able to defeat Oara, the First World War lifted the crisis in Yarkand."

As Li Dingguo said, he suddenly looked at Gao Yihuan, "In addition, the Oirats have risen, and they will inevitably threaten the business of Great Wei for a long time. Rescue Yaerqiang, so that Great Wei can directly control the Western Regions."

Gao Yihuan narrowed his eyes and attacked Mobei. Even if Baturhun was forced to retreat, he could come again, which could not solve the problem. Moreover, once Wala retreated, the Yarkand Khanate would continue to control the Western Regions. Qiang's excuse was to take advantage of the rescue of Yarkand, but the Western Wei Dynasty had the opportunity to directly control the Western Regions, which made Gao Yihuan very tempted.

There is no reason to leave after spending a lot of effort on rescue. After all, the Western Regions have been China's territory since ancient times!

"Haha!" Gao Yihuan laughed immediately: "The two Qings are right, so attack Mobei all the way and rescue Yaerqiang all the way."

Although Gao Yihuan said so, he actually adopted Li Dingguo's suggestion to sweep Moxi, and the main force was to seek a decisive battle with Baturhui.
