Chapter 494 The Battle of the World
A month later, 350,000 Kansai troops gathered in Qingluoyuan, and the largest batch of grain and fodder supplied by the court arrived in time. Qin Mubai's scout who contacted Yu Chi Jingde in the southwest battlefield also reported the news, saying that Yu Chi Jingde had led 50,000 Jiannan elite steps, crossed Jinchuan, crossed the Jinsha, and made it difficult to advance towards Tubo's Pei Mo.
Upon learning the news, Li Daliang questioned Qin Mubai's combat instructions. The battlefield general, who has been fighting in the battlefield for half of his life, said that now our army has taken the initiative to cross the border and fight in a different place. We should concentrate on our troops and move forward, and strengthen our prestige to fight a decisive battle. Yuchi Jingde's troops were only 50,000, and he went out alone to attack Motu. The road along the way was difficult and difficult to supply. He would certainly suffer a series of robberies and killings by the Tubo tribes. In addition, the enemy was dark, and the time and place were all on the other side. It was estimated that Yu Chi Jingde's troops would be difficult to make achievements, and there were many bad luck.
Li Daliang, who is experienced and has a high reputation, raised such a question, and Qin Mubai naturally cannot ignore it. So he held a military meeting to discuss this issue.
Qin Mubai said his thoughts and position, and said to the generals, "In terms of military strength, our army currently has a total of 400,000, and the number of soldiers who can fight after the Tubo soldiers and horses are damaged repeatedly. But they are in the face of the danger of destroying the country and the clan, and they will definitely be all soldiers. That is to say, in terms of military strength, they are still far better than me. In addition, our army's labor division attacked from afar, and the other army sat and waited for work; our army was not familiar with geography and did not accept the water and soil, and the other army stuck to the same enemy. Therefore, although we are attackers, we are at a disadvantage in the right time, place and people - under such circumstances, it is not conducive to the decisive battle of the soldiers!"
When the generals heard this, they nodded and recognized it. Li Daliang also agreed and said, "When it comes to the use of soldiers, there are few people who surpass pharmacists in ancient times. The core and essence of the pharmacist's use of soldiers is the word 'Qizheng'. As a pharmacist's proud disciple, the young commander is really a true legend. This explanation is very transparent, and I have to worship it. After all, since the young commander has decided to start the battle with the 'strange tactics', I don't know how to arrange it? The war is approaching, and it's time to deploy specific tactics!"
"My idea is - divide the soldiers into seven ways and cut them and attack them!" Qin Mubai said.
"The Seventh Road?" The generals asked together.
"All the way, it was Yu Chi Jingde's headquarters, who set out from Sichuan and took the capital. Even if you can't take it, you must disperse the troops of the Garqin Mausoleum, achieve the purpose of besiege and aid in Motuo, and support the main force!"
"The second way, along the route of Hou Junji, take Kunlun, Golmud, occupy the Yak River, cut off the connection between Qiangtang and Luoxi City, and contain the soldiers and horses of the Qiangtang tribes. It would be better if you can occupy the territory in this area!"
"The third road, from Qingluoyuan marched to Doma and occupied Zaling Lake and Eling Lake basin. This is one of the most important agricultural and animal husbandry bases in Tubo, but at present, it is relatively close to most of the main force of our army, and 90% of Tubo people have withdrawn. After the soldiers and horses occupied this place, they specialized in transferring grain and fodder, transporting materials, and rescuing the wounded here, as the reception and logistical supplies of the other six soldiers and horses. That is to say, the two lakes and one area will be the last stronghold of our army on the plateau!"
"The fourth road is also the main pioneer road, out of Jishi Mountain, Jiuqu of the Yellow River, and breaking through all the Tubo tribes stationed in the area of Domi! On this road, the pioneers build bridges when they meet the mountains and rivers, paving the way for the main force in the rear - I already have a candidate for the vanguard officer, so let Xue Rengui take charge. I don't know what everyone's mind?"
The generals nodded one after another and agreed, "The young commander continued to say, how to arrange the remaining three soldiers and horses?"
"The remaining three-way soldiers and horses are actually the three-way soldiers and horses personally led by Ben Shuai, but they are divided into three strands. They follow the vanguard soldiers and horses all the way like a trident. The main attack target is Sun Bo!"
"Sun Bo?" Li Daliang was shocked, "Isn't that the bloody battle place of Hou Junji to break through Dongzan Yusong? It is said that it is the last military barrier in front of the Tubo King City. Most of the Tubo nobles, including the gar clan, are divided here, with a deep foundation and strong soldiers and horses!"
"Not bad!" Qin Mubai nodded and said, "This is the hereditary place of the three major tribes in Tibet. In fact, it is under the jurisdiction of the three most important military towns. My purpose is to break through each one, break up the wings of the Garqin Mausoleum and the periphery of the Royal City one by one, and occupy them one by one.
"Why is it like this?" Li Daliang was still puzzled and said, "If the troops are combined, the number will be large, and the division will be small. Our army fights in different places, and the most important thing is to be scattered and broken by the enemy! If we work together to take some royal cities directly, will it be more direct?
"Galqinling can't wait for our whole army to be in one place and kill Luoxi City." Qin Mubai said, "Old general, think about it. When the Garqin Mausoleum invaded our eastern border, the soldiers and horses were scattered into countless units, which made us feel restless and had a headache. However, if he always combines his troops into one, he may be traced by our army and gather and annihilate it! - Strike east and west and scatter the skynet, which will make Garqin Mausoleum take care of this and the other. Because Mo Tuo, Sun Bo, Qiangtang and other territories and stations are very important to Tubo. If Garqin Mausoleum sends troops to help, his troops will be dispersed. Our main force can be flexible at any time. Whether to attack Sun Bo or take more directly; if he does not send troops to save, then we will It can advance step by step, break through these important strongholds one by one, tighten the spread of the big net, and finally form a ten-sided encirclement of the Luoxi City! - At that time, won't you catch the turtle in the urn?"
"High talk!" Li Daliang laughed and then praised, "No wonder Wei Gong himself said that the three disciples under his family, Hou Jun, got his skin, Su Dingfang got his bones, and Qin Mubai got his marrow. Yes, this is indeed the essence of Qizheng's tactics - seven-way soldiers and horses, any road may be false, and any road may be real! Even if the Chalqin Mausoleum has the ability to escape from heaven and earth, it is impossible to defeat our seven-way soldiers and horses at the same time! As long as we win all the way, we will have a chance to get something straight!"
"Yes, that's what I think." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Our army's main attack, even if we lose six arrays, as long as we win with one blow, it will be a complete victory; as long as the main defense of Garqinling is not properly defended all the way, it will be a loss. If we work together to fight a head-on battle with him - it is to bet on the victory or defeat of the battle. Of course, this is not cost-effective for us.
"Haha! That's true!" The generals suddenly realized and laughed loudly.
"However, the Chalqin Mausoleum is a master of soldiers, and he will not wait for death. He will definitely have a solution to my seven-way attack. Qin Mubai said, "Duke, if you were the garqinling, what would you do in the face of such a situation?"
The generals fell into meditation, and no one spoke for a long time.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and asked Li Ke, "Your Highness King Wu, why don't you please make a high opinion first?"
"Me?" Li Ke smiled and said, "A among all the people here, Xiao Wang's military level should be the lowest. Why do you ask me?"
"Because the bystanders are clear!" Qin Mubai said, "Now we don't consider it from a military point of view, but from the standpoint of the country and the nation - if, I mean, if the enemy's seven soldiers and horses come to Chang'an separately, how will Your Highness deal with it?"
Li Ke frowned and meditated. After a moment, he said, "The hard wall Qingye shrinks the defense and fight to the death with the enemy in Chang'an!"
"That's right!" Qin Mubai made a firm cut, "On the one hands, it can reduce our own casualties, and on the other is to create supplies; shrink the defense, concentrate on the strength to guard the core, so as not to be scattered and swallowed by the whales!"
Li Daliang was shocked, "It means that Garqinling may take the initiative to give up all the territory, and the turtle shrinks to the front and fight to the death?"
"It's 90% possible!" Qin Mubai said, "I'm going in seven ways. If he fights, he may not be able to stop any way. Since we are going to fight Luo, he will naturally concentrate all his troops to defend Luo!"
Li Daliang and others were a little confused. "Then why do we return the soldiers into seven routes? Isn't it over to kill Xiangluo in one place?
"Of course not." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If we work together to kill each other, it will be the garqin Mausoleum that spreads the big net!" The art of war is false and real, and there is no fixed number. If our army attacks all the way, it may face enemies from Qiangtang, Sun Bo and Mo Tuo. They will also contain our army like the soldiers and horses I sent, or attack on the side, or cut off our supply, or form a siege of our army - that is to say, we must not give the initiative to Garqinling! Once he is given the initiative, he, a veteran and flexible master, will throw a trap on us at any time. Even if it's 400,000 troops, it's not enough for him to swallow!"
"The battle has not yet begun, the young commander has fought with the Chalqinling!" Li Daliang laughed and said, "Planning strategies to win thousands of miles. Well, it's very good - I, Datang, add another handsome man, haha!"
"Old general, don't be in a hurry to praise me!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The outcome of this battle has not been decided yet!" I have always believed that we should despise the opponent strategically and pay attention to the opponent tactically. Generally speaking, we should have the belief that we will win; but when it comes to the details, we should always be careful and not tolerate the difference! - Seven soldiers and horses, the commanders of each point. Yu Chi Jingde has already made a journey. I personally led him all the way. In addition, I asked the old general, Li Junxian, Qin Tong, Xue Rengui and Pang Fei to lead the way. Yuwen Hongtai left my command to wait for the order!"
"No!"
The generals held their fists together and solemnly responded.
"The army will start immediately - conquer the plateau and take the logic!!!"
"No!!!"
A few days later, in the royal city.
The leaders of the Tubo tribes, the generals of each Ru, as well as the Zanpu Abandoned Zong Nongzan and the Marshal's Chalqin Mausoleum gathered together to discuss the strategy of the enemy.
"Qin Mubai actually ignored the taboos of the soldiers and attacked my royal city in seven ways!" Abandoned Zong frowned deeply and said, "Gentlemen, what's the enemy's good strategy?"
"Since he dares to come forward on seven roads, his troops are scattered. Let's wait for work with ease and fight against the enemy in seven ways. How can we be invincible?" Someone shouted under the seat.
Suddenly, many people agreed.
"No!" The Chalqin Mausoleum shouted loudly and suppressed the voice of the crowd.
He saluted the abandoned sect and said, "Zanpu, I think that since Qin Mubai, as the marshal of the army, he will never commit the well-known military taboos. His move seems to be mediocre, but it's actually fierce!"
"Oh, what do you say?"
"The seven-way soldiers and horses, virtual and real, real and virtual, which is indistinguishable." Garqinling said, "If we go to meet the enemy in seven ways, the royal city will inevitably be empty. If we lose all the way, the Tang army will definitely take the logic directly. At that time, we will lose all the game! - There has never been a winning war in the world. Who can guarantee that we can win all on the seven roads?
Everyone was stunned.
Gar Qinling said righteously, "Therefore, you must not divide your troops and refuse it. That way, you will be hit by Qin Mubai's treachery! - Only at this time, you can only work together to defend the royal city! No matter how Qin Mubai cheats, his ultimate goal is to take the king's city! - Let's stick to the king's city to keep the constant response to all changes, concentrate all our strength to nourish our energy, and look forward to the decisive battle with Qin Mubai!"
"Then don't you want our Qiangtang, Sun Bo and Mo Tuo? That is the land that Zamp divided into our tribe, and it is the foundation left to us by our ancestors!" Everyone questioned.
"Not only don't want these places, but also hard and clear fields, and don't leave a sheep and a grain of millet for Qin Mubai! We need to make their supplies very difficult, and make their sergeants have difficulty breathing and eating on the plateau!" Garqinling said, "What is it to lose a few inches of land for the time being? When the king city wins the battle, you can easily get it back at any time! - If you insist on the gains and losses of an inch of land and divide the troops and refuse, it may be the whole dynasty that will be lost!"
"Qinling Gao Lun!" Abandoned Zong praised deeply and said, "In this case, we will adapt to all changes in the same way - the vertical wall Qingye concentrates our forces in the royal city, and fight against Qin Mubai!"
