Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 199 The Player Advisor of the Tianshan Army
In the military meeting hall of Beiting Dufu Mansion, on a large sand table made according to the scale of the game map, [military division] players are constantly changing the position of the chess pieces.

Shang Bo looked at the huge sand table in front of him, his eyes were darkened, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Shang Bo sighed, as an rts handicapped player, he is indeed not a talent for commanding battles.

Shang Bo doesn't understand strategy and tactics at all. The reason why he is sitting here is because he is currently the highest official among the players in the North Court.

Therefore, Shang Bo was elected by the players as the leader, responsible for commanding the battle in the Mobei Grassland.

He sighed again, if he was going on a mission to a foreign country to fight against the Confucian scholars, Shang Bo would not show any timidity at all, but he would not be able to command a war at all.

The reason why Shangbo is sitting here is to pay attention to the dynamics of the Tang army in Mobei.

Cao Lingzhong, the guardian of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, led six thousand light cavalry from the Tianshan Army into the grassland, trying to cut off Gele Khan's grain road and prevent Gele Khan from unifying the Mobei grassland.

But the battle is not always satisfactory.

How many wars that are sure to win in history have all failed due to some small accidents, causing dominoes that have affected the success or failure of countless empires.

Cao Lingzhong is an old man who wants to win more with less, and use the Tianshan Army to stop the Uighur Khan's western expedition.

However, after entering the grassland, Cao Lingzhong discovered that the Uighurs had used a large number of cavalry to protect the grain and grass. This time Gele Khan was very determined to destroy Ge Luolu, and ordered his troops to bring a large number of cattle and sheep as military resources.

The Uyghurs paid a lot of money, and they also attached great importance to the protection of food roads. They wandered on the grassland for five days, but Cao Lingzhong's troops ran out of food first.

Cao Lingzhong was extremely ashamed, and when he was about to lead his troops back to Beiting, he was contacted by Pang Yawei, a player sent by Shangbo.

Pang Yawei brought supplies from Tingzhou. The businessman took local materials and spread pancakes for the Tianshan army on the grassland, which made the Tianshan army cry.

Cao Lingzhong was extremely ashamed, and said to Pang Yawei: "I am self-willed, and my Tang elites are in danger. When I return to Tingzhou, I will be in the imperial court, resign from the post of Beiting Governor, and return to my hometown!"

Pang Yawei, a life stream player who sells pancakes, bit the bullet and followed the guidance of Shangbo, took Cao Lingzhong's hand and said:
"The old general is a role model for my generation who is loyal and brave for the country. Shang Sima said that as long as he is in Tingzhou, the army's supplies will never be cut off. I hope the old general can stay in the grassland and continue to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"

Cao Lingzhong was stunned. The plan to attack the Uighur grain road had failed, so staying on the grassland would only increase consumption?

Pang Yawei bit the bullet and said: "Shang Sima wants to ask the old general to stay on the grassland for a few more days, waiting for the opportunity to fight."

"Waiting for an opportunity?" Cao Lingzhong was stunned. He had been a general in Beiting for 20 years. He must have been planning this Uighur expedition for a long time. There was no flaw in the grain road. What was the opportunity Pang Yawei was talking about?
I don't even know what a fighter is!I am a pancake seller!

Pang Yawei also wanted to cry but had no tears. He was driving ducks to the shelves, and received a mission from Shangbo to go to the grassland to find the Tang cavalry.

Unexpectedly, so many adventurous [General] players failed to find the Datang Tianshan Army, but were found by me, a merchant player.

After completing such a rewarding task all at once, the staff department at Beiting Duhu Mansion asked Pang Yawei to stay in the Tianshan Army to assist Cao Lingzhong in the battle.

For the sake of the generous follow-up task rewards, Pang Yawei bit the bullet and agreed.

I thought I would make a human-shaped radar and communicator, and just pass on the information from the staff.

Pang Yawei followed Tianshan County, spreading pancakes along the way, while going deep into the grassland.

But just now, Pang Yawei received the task of the staff department, asking him to persuade Tianshan County to go north to the Kadun River, and cooperate with the Ge Luolu people to attack a Uyghur army stationed in the upper reaches of the Kadun River.

Pang Yawei bit the bullet and found Cao Lingzhong and said: "General, this, can you go north now, to the Caton River?"

Cao Lingzhong glanced at Pang Yawei suspiciously and asked: "The Caton River is not far from our current location, but why go to the Caton River?"

The Kadun River is a north-south river flowing out of Jinshan, and it is also the mother river of the Geluolu people.

The earliest Ge Luolu lived by grazing cattle on the banks of the Kadun River at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain, so the Kadun River is very important to the Ge Luolu people.

However, according to the news from the scouts, the Uighurs have completely blocked the Kadon River, and have deployed troops on all the main roads of the Kadon River.

Pang Yawei bit the bullet and said: "I have received information that the Uyghurs are digging canals in the upper reaches of the Kadun River and want to cut off the Kadun River."

This time Cao Lingzhong was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he praised the plan of the Uighurs again.

The Katon River is the mother river of the Geluolu people. The Geluolu people played a game of hide-and-seek with the Uyghurs on the grasslands.

If the Katun River is cut off, the Uyghurs in the lower reaches of the Katun River will either continue to migrate southward to the Doros River Basin, or they must go to the upper reaches of the Kadon River to find water.

If this trick is successful, the Ge Luolu people will suffer heavy losses.

Pang Yawei sat on the ground, picked up a branch and drew a map of the surrounding area on the ground, then he pointed to a bend in the upper reaches of the Caton River and said:
"The water flow of the Katun River is the most gentle in this bend, and the Uyghurs will definitely block the river and build a dam in this place."

Cao Lingzhong sat down next to Pang Yawei. Although he didn't know where Pang Yawei got the information from, Cao Lingzhong, who had gone deep into the grassland many times, knew that Pang Yawei's casually drawn map was very accurate.

Cao Lingzhong couldn't help but glanced at Pang Yawei a few more times. This dental soldier under King Jianning is really a remarkable figure.

However, the veteran frowned and said: "I know this river bend is indeed suitable for damming the river, but this area is a flat grassland, and the Uyghurs will definitely store up troops here, and even the main force of Gele Khan Possibly here."

Pang Yawei secretly admired that he is indeed a veteran who has fought in the battlefield for many years. Cao Lingzhong's judgment is exactly the same as that of the players in the general staff [military division].

In order to complete the task, Pang Yawei persuaded Cao Lingzhong and the Ge Luolu people to attack the Uyghur garrison together. He could only continue:
"Yes, we can't beat the Uighur army in Hewan, but what about the Uighur army in this position?"

Cao Lingzhong looked at the place pointed by the branch of Pang Yawei, stroked his gray beard and said, "Wonderful! This place is good!"

Then Cao Lingzhong stood up and said loudly: "Soldiers of each battalion! Put on your armor and mount your horse, and follow me to fight!"
