Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 826 Oriole
Zhennan Pass.

In the military council hall, dozens of Wu'an prefecture generals and school officials gathered around a very simple sand table of Wu'an prefecture and its surrounding areas.

In fact, Wu'an prefecture has collected very detailed information about the surrounding mountains and rivers and topography, which has also allowed skilled craftsmen to make many fine sand tables. However, such sand tables are top secrets in Wu'an prefecture and are only kept in the Secret Pavilion of Taiping City.The crude sand table here is simplified according to the precise sand table, and Ah Huang is only eligible to borrow it.

Although the sand table is much simpler, there are roughly mountains, rivers and rivers, and it is relatively accurate.

Ah Huang wore a soft-footed headband on his head and a pleated hakama military robe.

He pointed to the northeast direction on the sand table, "The latest information, according to Wei Gong's instructions, the Zuoxi barbarian king Fusan led the Zuoxi barbarians to launch a counterattack in Tanzhou. They all rushed for reinforcements."

Yang Jizhen couldn't help asking, "Below the city of Tanzhou, the Judingsha tribe has a large number of people. Tanzhou should resist the city and stick to it. Why do you have to go out of the city to fight? If Lang loses, wouldn't Tanzhou be unable to hold on? Isn't the entire Zuoxi battlefield going to collapse?"

Lao Yang still had a good eye, and he always felt that Zuoximan in Tanzhou couldn't beat the Juding Sha people. If he could beat them, he wouldn't have been surrounded for so long and beaten on the ground all the time.

Ah Huang smiled.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry. Mr. Wei has a clever plan, and there is a reason for this arrangement. The next thing I want to talk about is top secret. If you leave here, you are not allowed to reveal half a word, or you will be dealt with by military law." Ah Huang said seriously. Get up, "Actually, the Zuoxi barbarians in Tanzhou counterattacked, it was just a feint attack, in order to pull the main force of the sand people in Xiajuding, Tanzhou city."

"Duke Wei's ulterior motive is not in the wine, but in the sword."

He pointed to several positions on the sand table.

Yang Jizhen and others looked carefully, but they saw Wuli and Luolong City in Cage Province on the south bank of Zuoxi River, and Longzhou in the upper reaches of Tanzhou.

In the end, the fingers fell on Qiyuan Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture, which were already under their control.

"What do you mean?"

"It's time for a counterattack. It's our turn to make a move. Don't you understand?"

A group of generals excitedly said, "So many places are fighting together? Is this to make dumplings for the sand people in Tanzhou City?"

"No, there is a saying in the art of war that encircling it must be closed, and that's the best policy."

"This time we are going to encircle on three sides and keep one side."

"Why do you want to stay? Tanzhou City will get rid of them once and for all. It will save trouble."

"It's done."

"A direct decisive battle."

A group of generals talked to each other, it was so lively.

"Wei Gong is Huo hussars of the Great Tang Dynasty. Is it better to use troops than you? Just besieged to death, and the Judingsha people will fight with trapped beasts. If you fight to the death, you will inevitably cause a lot of casualties. It is really not worthwhile. So deliberately Surrounded by three and missing one, we will first disintegrate their fighting spirit and make them flee desperately, and then we will calmly pursue and kill them, and then we can wipe them out without any effort."

"Then where shall we fight?"

"Our first task is to keep the Zhennan Pass well. We have to guard against the sandman jumping over the wall in a hurry. If someone runs towards us in a panic, we can't let him pass the Zhennan Pass and flee to our Wu'an Prefecture. Those who make chaos, even a barbarian is not allowed to enter the country, this is a death order!"

"The southern pass of our town is so dangerous. One man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. How can the defeated Juding army pass? Even if a large army comes, they will not be able to break through. With so many of us, we can't just sit here? No, send some troops to reinforce other places? We can't let others fight while we are looking at the scenery?" Some generals couldn't help but said.

As soon as Duke Wei’s battle plan was revealed, everyone was amazed by it. It was indeed better than closing the door and beating dogs, but the problem was that the people here at Zhennanguan were a little unhappy. Only those who could go to the battlefield would have a chance to earn military merit. As a soldier , who wants to shrink back.

Ah Huang was not those knights who wanted to do meritorious service. As the general sent by Qin Lang to sit in Wu'an Prefecture, his most important task was to guard the southern pass of the town, which was the northern gateway of Wu'an Prefecture.

Casual leaks and routs in the past will cause great damage to the fief.

Keeping Zhennanguan well is a credit.

"Don't be in a hurry." Ah Huang smiled and waved his hands.

He looked at the sand table. In fact, Zhennan Pass was indeed safe. The soldier Cao Qian Dexing led troops to take over Shixi City. This was originally one of the eighteen barbarian prefectures in Zuoxi. Guangyuan, Longzhou and other barbarian kings have been blocking the sand people, but they have been defeated several times and suffered heavy losses.

Qian Dexing was ordered to lead troops to reinforce, in fact, he had already taken over Shixi, and Qin Lang later simply reduced Shixi to a county in Yongzhou, and temporarily assigned it to the governor's office of Wu'an Prefecture.

The north is bounded by the Siming River, and the east is not bounded by the Beilun River. Qin Lang actually expanded Wu'an Prefecture to the north by a hundred miles, and Zhennan Pass is no longer the northern gate.

The two cities of Shixi (Pingxiang) and Siming (Ningming) have become the two insurances in the north of Zhennan Pass. If you want to go to Zhennan Pass, you have to take these two cities within a hundred miles north of the pass.With Qian Dexing and Qin Yong each leading 3000 men to defend the two cities, the Sand people had no chance even when the army was in full swing, let alone when they are tired now, once the army is defeated, it is even less likely that they will flee to the south of Zhennan close.

But there is always nothing wrong with being careful.

What's more, Qin Lang's plan is also very auspicious, whether it is to fight the cage state or the dragon state, in fact, it does not need too many soldiers.The more soldiers there are, the greater the pressure on logistical supplies will be, and the command will be less flexible.

Therefore, there is no need for too many soldiers in counterattacks, and there are not too many soldiers.

However, both Wu'an Prefecture and Zhuxidong received orders to continuously recruit young men.

The so many troops gathered were not actually used for a decisive battle, but only used to beat the dog in the water after the main elite defeated the Juding barbarians.

To put it bluntly, it is to pull a big net and wipe out Judingman in one go.

Regardless of whether everyone can understand it or not, Ah Huang still conveyed Wei Gong's strategic intentions to everyone, and then assigned tasks.

The [-] elite soldiers at Zhennan Pass did not move, and the regiments that were transferred left [-] for defense, and the rest of the Dongding villagers could go out of Zhennan Pass.

One part of the town went north-south to the north, to Shixi and Siming, and went there to do some auxiliary tasks.

The other part went northwest along the Qiqiong River. In recent years, the Qin family built roads along the Qiongqi River Valley and opened up commercial routes. From Men County under Zhennan Pass to the northwest along the Qiongqi River, a [-]-mile-long road was built. the way.

This road extends to the northwest, passes through Qiyuan Prefecture, reaches Guangyuan Prefecture, and finally reaches Gaopingbao, Qinlang's enclave.

The last time Ah Huang led the soldiers and horsemen from Wu'an Prefecture to the Juding Department to rob, this was the road they took. In the past two years, Ah Huang and many Wu'an Prefecture vassals even opened up business along this commercial route on both sides. Many new villages.

"Qiyuan Prefecture has been reduced to Qixi County by Wei Gong. This place is the upper reaches of Zuoxi River, which is very important. We have to prevent Juding Man from breaking through Longzhou and going up the Pinghe River to Qixi County."

Qixi is a good valley basin between mountains, so many barbarian tribes have gathered for a long time, and there is a powerful tribe alliance of barbarian kings. It is also one of the eighteen barbarian states in Zuoxi. , Qixi was also attacked by the sandmen, and the loss was not small. Later, the Qin family soldiers went north to repel the Qixi sandmen and relieve the siege of Gaoping.

At present, Qixi is a necessary place for the Qin family and Gaoping enclave, and at the same time, it is the northwest side gate of Wu'an Prefecture. It is very likely that the Tanzhou Man will retreat to Qixi along the upper reaches of Zuoxi and Pingerjiang, and may even return to Qixi. Detour along the Qiqiong River to the back of Zhennan Pass.

"Who wants to go to Siming and Shixi, and who wants to go to Qixi and Gaoping?"

Everyone can see at this time that no matter whether you go to the northeast or the northwest, you are actually going to play support, but if you go to the northeast, you may find some opportunities. At any rate, you may be able to hunt down a broken soldier and clean up the battlefield. If you go to Qixi and Gaoping in the northwest, it is estimated that you will not even have a sip of soup. Everyone does not think that the sand people will be able to escape all the way from Tanzhou to Gaoping, and it is even more impossible to say that they still have the courage to fight Qixi, or even fight again. Turn south to Wu'an Prefecture.

Everyone is scrambling to lead the team to the northeast.

"Bring all the strong men of the Tutuan up, maybe there will be some chances at that time. There are 800 people guarding Zhennan Pass, so nothing will happen."

"If you want me to say, just take half of the newly recruited middle-aged men out of the customs, experience and experience, and let the boys broaden their horizons."

Everyone felt that this opportunity was rare. Since all the young and strong were recruited, except for one thousand and eight people who stayed behind, the rest were all taken out of the customs, and each of the counties in Wu'an Prefecture left only a small number of townspeople to guard , Supplemented with middle-aged males to assist in maintaining law and order.

Everyone acted as if the opportunity was rare and not to be missed.

Ah Huang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was right. Everyone had entered the territory of Juding before, and the barbarians of Juding could do the same.Now under the leadership of a woman, it has only been arrogant for a few days. Now Annan Li Daliang has entered the heart of Juding, Qin Lang is closing the net in the east, and Tanzhou Man has been ordered to fight back and restrain him. Next, they really don't need to be too careful.

The officers who were named and left behind all looked unlucky. They were clearly leading the elite, but they could only sit at the back when the war was approaching and could not even hear the war horn.

They all clamored for dissatisfaction, demanding that they would rather take the Xiangyong and middle-aged men out than stay and sit in town.After thinking about it for a while, Ah Huang really agreed to take out two-thirds of the knights leading the troops. Even out of the original 800 elite soldiers, Ah Huang only left [-] elite soldiers in the end. He and Wubai Xiangyong insisted on detaining another [-] people, and let them follow suit.

"Whether you can get a chance or not depends on your respective luck, but I want to emphasize one point. After you arrive in Shixi, Siming, Qixi, Guangyuan, and Gaoping, the first priority is to get the walls of the city. With the control of the city defense in hand, I don't care which barbarian king or village they belonged to. Since Wei Guogong has sent them to this county and assigned them to the Wu'an Prefecture Governor's Mansion for the time being, we have to take care of them. "

It is doubtful whether the imperial court will finally agree to assign these Jimi Manzhous to Annan Road and under Wu'an Prefecture, but since Duke Wei has done so, it is a temptation. Whether it succeeds or not, they must first Take the opportunity to take control.

It can't be that the court agrees at that time, but everyone hasn't been able to get control, right?
This is much more important than fighting the Judingman. After the Judingman is destroyed, Wu'an Prefecture has no chance to divide any territory, but Zuoximan was beaten badly this time, so there is still a chance to dig some pieces of their meat.

Gotta give it a try.

Even if the imperial court refuses to assign various places to Wu'an Prefecture, after everyone gets control this time, they will still be able to retain many benefits in the future. This is not only the interests of the Qin family, but also concerns the entire Wu'an Prefecture. interests of almost everyone.

Not only the cities of Shixi and Guangyuan, but also the four prefectures in the east, Siling Prefecture, Tangzhou, Su Maozhou, and Xin'an Prefecture, were also reduced to counties by Qin Lang this time. Ah Huang also planned to send people there to strengthen the defense For the sake of the name, take control.

If this step is successful, Wu'an Prefecture can add the Baman Prefecture at once, and the territory can be expanded by a circle.
