"Counterattack the grassland?" Huo Ling stroked his beard and pondered, "This general also has this intention."

He looked coldly to the west.

"Xiliang is vast and sparsely populated, and the soldiers and weapons are even scarcer. However, the King of the Prairie is so bold that he sends troops to invade our borders from time to time. If he invades, he will plunder everywhere. Muscles and bones, it really doesn't make sense."

"If a tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat us as sick cats?"

boom.

Huo Ling slapped the table hard, with a cold breath in his eyes.

"If there is a chance, we should give them a strong counterattack. It is best to hit them until they are injured or even half dead. They will not dare to look east for a hundred years."

Tian Hongyan and the military division looked at each other, they were a little dazed.

Before he opened his mouth, he thought that Huo Ling would either make a lot of excuses to prevaricate, or he would talk about it like Kong Chunhui of Yingling Legion, and he would never give a clear attitude.

He thought that he had just said a word, and before he even had time to show the pain on his face, Huo Ling had clearly nodded in agreement.

Pattern.

For a moment, both of them were a little ashamed.

"The general means..."

Huo Ling was silent for a long while before speaking slowly.

"Nowadays there is civil strife in the grassland, and the two tribes of Blood Moon and Angel are fighting fiercely. Even the grievances of both sides are directed at the royal court of the grassland who has been sitting firmly behind the Diaoyutai."

"In addition, in the past few years, in order to gather strength for the Eastern Expedition, the three parties in the grassland have taken action together to eliminate countless disobedient small and medium-sized tribes, but there is also a strong backlog of resentment among the people. It's okay when they are strong, but once they become weak due to internal friction, I'm afraid It will quickly suffer backlash from all sides. It can be said that Xiliang is at its weakest now."

"What the general said is true." Tian Hongyan was overjoyed, and quickly nodded his head while the iron was hot, "It's the so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him. The last general also saw this, so he suggested that we take the opportunity to send troops to the grassland and give them a hard blow." Son, it’s best to make Xiliang people breathless from now on.”

Huo Ling didn't speak out immediately this time, after a while, Tian Hongyan couldn't sit still, so he continued.

"What General Tian said is true. Fighting opportunities are rare. Although the general hopes to send troops to the grassland as soon as possible, the current situation of the empire may not be the right time."

"For one thing, after fighting the Battle of Dingxi for several years, our strength and materials are obviously insufficient. Although we have recruited new soldiers, it takes time to train."

"Secondly, the east coast and the North Customs are in danger. It is estimated that Naoto Hisodo of the Japanese pirates and Ishikawa Taki of the Sishan Islands are the people who most hope that we will send troops to the grassland regardless of everything."

"General Tian, ​​as a native of Yanhui, you should know the importance of Beihai Pass to the empire best. Therefore, the battle for the empire to regain Beihai Pass is expected to begin soon. In order to survive, Nei Masato, who was stationed at Beiguan Pass Absolutely will do whatever it takes."

Tian Hongyan's face was a little ugly, and his eyes raised silently, and fell on Beixiong in the north.

Seeing that he understood, Huo Ling was also relieved, and continued talking.

"At that time, the empire will be on three sides, no, if you add the Baekje Peninsula, it will be a four-way war. Although Yunchui is big, it can't afford such consumption."

Speaking of this, Huo Ling's eyes moved to the south again.

"In addition, although Nanfeng in the south is half disabled, according to the news of Zhennanguan General Yuan, several small countries there are not in peace. If possible, they will probably be ready to move, and take the opportunity to turn around and bite us hard Take a bite."

boom.

Tian Hongyan angrily punched the table beside him.

"It's unreasonable, those southern barbarians who don't know what to do, should have..."

cough cough.

The military division next to him coughed.

Before Xingluo moved to Guangxin Group in the south, it was the Yanhui Army that was stationed in Yingshan Camp.

During this period, several small countries in the south would cross the border to do evil from time to time, such as stealing and burning the medicine fields in Baihua County, robbing and killing fishermen near the South China Sea, but the Goose Returning Legion always muddled through and never took it seriously.

Tian Hongyan reacted quickly, the old man blushed, and brought the topic back decisively.

His heart was twisted like a knife, "General, the general is well aware of the current situation of the empire, and it is indeed not appropriate to start a war. It's just that the grassland in front of us is in chaos, and it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Don't we just watch it like this?" slip away with it?"

"Indeed." Huo Ling frowned, and lightly clasped the Eight Immortals Table by his hand, "I don't know what General Tian thinks?"

call.

Seeing that Huo Ling didn't refuse immediately, Tian Hongyan couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"General, given the current state of the empire, it is obviously inappropriate for the fortress to march on the grassland collectively. Once the news reaches Xingji City, both the Ministry of War and His Majesty will probably object. But as a frontier soldier, I just stare at It's really intolerable for fighter jets to walk away."

Having said that, his tone changed.

"Since the whole army cannot be dispatched to attack, the general thought that he could send an advance army into the grassland. If there is no chance, he can put pressure on all parties in Xiliang, and if there is a chance, he will fuck him hard."

"Advanced army?" Huo Ling was noncommittal, "It's interesting, please tell me in detail."

"Yes!" Tian Hongyan cheered up, "General, the last general has calculated before that this team does not need to be too large, lest the logistics supply be insufficient after going deep into the grassland. Of course, it can't be too small, otherwise it will not be effective in the grassland battle. Too much effect."

Huo Ling nodded silently.

Gu Datou's brave cavalry battalion only has 1000 people, and with the addition of the Yingling Legion, there are only [-] cavalry.

They have been circling in the depths of the grassland, and they really don't need to worry about food and grass, but because there are not many people, they can only fight and leave, and the target they choose should not be too large, otherwise they will kill themselves.

Tian Hongyan was even more happy when he saw this, he gritted his teeth.

"General, I'm ashamed to say that last year when Dingxi counterattacked, the final consideration was that the people of Xiliang must not cross the Luoxia Mountains and trample on our rich and rich central area, so that they could not send troops in time to help the brothers and troops. busy."

"But the general dares to assure the general that there are more than [-] people in my Yanhui Legion, and I am by no means a person who ignores the life and death of the friendly army, steals life, covets life and fears death."

Huo Ling sat expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear it.

Tian Hongyan and the military division looked at each other, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"...But it is precisely because I missed last year's Dingxi counterattack, these days will end with painful lessons, and I will never allow every opportunity to be neglected."

"God is sorry, another opportunity is in front of us now. It just so happens that the system of the last general's subordinates is still complete, and they just sent troops to Xiliang as an advance army to repay the consequences of their unscrupulous eastward invasion."

When Huo Ling heard it, his frown did not loosen.

Tian Hongyan waited for a while, the corners of his mouth trembling.

His heart was ruthless, and he stammered: "General... Empty words have no basis, and the general is willing to issue a military order."

"If it is possible to make the trip, the Yanhui Legion must find every opportunity to severely attack the tribes in Xiliang and promote our country's prestige. If there is any slack or shrinking from the war, let the general handle it."

"General..." The military adviser next to him ate.

Tian Hongyan shook his head, "You don't need to say too much, I've made up my mind."

"Yes." The little military adviser knew that he would not have the part to speak, so he hesitated for a while, and could only take out a pen and paper and hand it to his chief general.

Tian Hongyan held up the brush, but seeing that Huo Ling was still silent, he knew it was wrong but could only grit his teeth, grabbed the rice paper and began to write the military order in a hurry.

After he finished writing and stamped the tiger seal of the legion general tremblingly, Huo Ling nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you are so earnest in asking for a battle, I will continue to block you, so I won't let the hearts of the brothers go back to Yanhui. In this case, I will approve the Yanhui Legion's dispatch of troops to Xiliang. Of course, the fortress will definitely cooperate fully. .”

Tian Hongyan's mouth was full of bitterness, but he still had to stand up, "Thank you, General."
