Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 66 Departure, Target Yiwu!
In September of the third year of Daye, the population of the Changsheng camp expanded to [-], including [-] men and [-] women.

In the middle of the next month, more than [-] mu of arable land in Changshengying was harvested, and more than [-] stones of wheat and peanuts were put into storage.

at the end of the month...

"General Li, my lord! It's almost November, and you've been dragging on for a month and a month. Give me an assurance letter, when will you send troops?" Gao Ziran is now looking for Changsheng almost every day, His tone became more and more anxious.

"Master Gao, please look!" Chang Sheng told Gao Ziran to follow his finger.

Over there, a thousand soldiers were practicing gun formation on the playground, and those who graduated from the training camp were scattered and assigned to the original army to train recruits.

Most of them have experienced a battle, and many of them have seen dead people.

"Chest!" ordered the officer with the feathers on his head.

"Kill!" The soldiers in the front row stabbed at the same time, stabbing the tip of the gun into the chest of the straw man in front of him.

"Head!" Another command.

"Kill!" The soldiers stabbed at the head again in unison.

……

Chang Sheng asked with a smile: "Master Gao, how do these soldiers train?"

"It's very neat and tidy, just like a person? But what's the use of that?" Gao Ziran replied indifferently.

"Did you often listen to operas or books when you were in Beijing?"

"Yeah? What's the matter?" Gao Ziran nodded, not understanding the meaning of Changsheng's question.

"Martial arts or kung fu in drama scripts is different from fighting. Heroes may be highly skilled in martial arts, but soldiers are ordinary people. They must undergo repeated training. Only when they are uniform and order is prohibited can they kill the enemy on the battlefield and be invincible."

Mr. Gao sighed, and said speechlessly: "You have said these words almost a hundred times, my young master, and I have heard them almost a hundred times!"

"Are you looking to see if today is better than yesterday?"

"It looks tidier, but it doesn't mean it's stronger." Gao Ziran suppressed the anger in his heart: "Since you came to our Longevity Camp, young master, you can tell with your conscience that I have ever troubled you. You asked me to help me, and I did it, and I approved it, and I did everything I could do. Now I also ask you, General Li, to do me a favor, Lord Yang can always keep an eye on this place."

Master Yang, Yang Su?

It seems that Yang Guang is worried about this place.

Fine.

"Master Gao, you can give me another month and let me train a moon soldier, okay?"

"Then let's agree, this is the last time, this time you will definitely keep your word!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao!"

After seeing off Lord Gao, Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Xuanling had already come over: "My lord, the defenders in Dunhuang and the west have all sent letters, just wait for us to go to discuss the military affairs. In addition, there are also letters from Chang'an." gone."

Chang Sheng nodded: "First discuss with the military, and then talk about Chang'an."

"Yes."

The Longevity Battalion hadn't held an all-out combat recall since the autumn harvest. The battalion commanders, including Qin Qiong, the staff, and the main leaders of the logistics department all got together, including Fang Xuanling, the intelligence officer.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chang Sheng began to say, "Dunhuang has an order for defense. General Chen is interested in Yiwu County and ordered all the ministries to cooperate with the Dunhuang Army."

Yiwu is the new Yiwu in the Republic period, located in the northwest of Dunhuang.

"If the Turks can't defeat Yiwu, they won't be able to get their hands on Dunhuang, and if our northwest defenders can't defend Yiwu, they won't be able to advance westward. They can only defend passively."

Now that Chang has studied military affairs day and night, he is also very clear about the situation.

Yiwu is the northern gate of Gansu. Whether the Sui army wanted to stick to Dunhuang in a safe corner, or march west and north, they must hold it in their hands.

"Director Fang, please tell everyone the information." Chang Sheng let the map sit back and said.

"My lords, there are [-] Turks in Yiwu County, of which there are nearly [-] real barbarians. The city is high and deep, backed by mountains, with plenty of food and grass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The nearest enemy support is Linchuan in the west. There are about [-] cavalry, and it will take more than a day to reinforce Yiwu no matter how quickly."

Fang Xuanling took a breath and continued, "General Chen is going to dispatch [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary troops this time. The attack date is at the end of November."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, she went back and sat down.

"Now is the slack time for farming. According to the latest battalion regulations, our Longevity Battalion can dispatch [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. If the target is only Yiwu, the food supplies can support field operations for about nine to twelve days." Logistics Supervisor Zhong Bo said.

As soon as he finished talking about Qin Qiong, he said, "It doesn't take that long. Since it's attacking Yiwu, of course we should go out and try to solve it within two days, so as to save more nights and dreams!"

Chang Sheng looked at him with a smile and said, "Then Qin Ba always thinks how sure he is of capturing Yiwu within two days?"

"Reporting to my lord, soldiers are precious and fast. If you build siege equipment now, and slowly push it over, the day lily will be cold. According to the official, it is better to attack the city with ants, and catch him by surprise. If you fail, then It’s okay to just withdraw.”

Chang Sheng nodded: "This general thinks the same way, we need to take advantage of our military's flexibility. However, General Chen Ping seems to have a better proposal..."

Since the victory of the Dunhuang defense battle last time, the Turks in Subei were frightened, and the defenders guarding Yiwu were even more frightened.They only dared to move around in the city, and the Han Chinese who fled back to the south from there were hardly harassed. This also shows that the morale of the other side has fallen into a low ebb.

"Since the other party is frightened, General Chen simply prepared to scare the snake. He deliberately raised fire and shouted in the middle of the night, creating a posture of attacking Yiwu, scaring the defenders out of the city, and then we set up an ambush outside the city to ambush them."

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

To scare the enemy out by scaring?Then automatically fall into our encirclement?

Why does it sound so far-fetched?

There was no confidence in everyone's eyes, even the most elegant Xiao Feng said: "My lord, the success or failure of this method is at most [-]-[-]."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I plan to ambush the [-] barbarians who escaped." Chang Sheng made a conclusion directly. She vaguely remembered a successful case in history. Even if it didn't succeed, there would be no loss.

The staff officer Zhang Baozang objected to Changsheng’s plan: “My lord, the rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention the more than 1000 Turks who are fleeing for their lives. Even if we stop them and drive them back to Yiwu City Can we rely on the defense of the city tower and continue to hold on?"

Qin Qiong agreed once: "My lord, there is a saying in the art of war: the siege must be fortified. It is too reluctant for more than 1000 of us to encircle cavalry with a similar number as us."

Although Qin Qiong is a fighting maniac, he is not a fighting idiot. He is no longer willing to fight a losing battle.

Unexpectedly, Changsheng smiled lightly: "Director Fang, please tell everyone what you know."

Fang Xuanling stood up and was about to speak when Hong Antong hurried in: "Master, Mr. Gao is here!"

"Ah? Director Fang, tell everyone about Chang'an that you told me just now." Fang Xuanling and a few others were left to ventilate, and Chang Sheng ran out to meet Gao Ziran first.

Chang Sheng always excluded Mr. Gao from the military council, he was afraid that this civil official would talk about war on paper, treat the war as a play, and command blindly.

Just after he walked out of the meeting room, he saw Gao Ziran walking towards him. He scolded him with displeasure, "Why didn't General Li inform me about the military discussion? Could it be that there is something hidden that can't be known?"

"Hey, what's the matter with Mr. Gao at this time, how dare you hide your business from him, it's just a little private matter of mine." Chang Sheng said with a smile.

Gao Ziran was not so easy to fool, he let out a snort and walked in, Chang Sheng quickly followed behind.

After the two came in, Fang Xuanling made a circle with his index finger and thumb and put them on his chest.

Let Fang Xuanling repeat the half of what he said just now: it turns out that the birthday of Li Yuan's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, is approaching, and a letter came from home, asking when she will go home?
Changsheng made an embarrassing expression: "The training is coming to an end, and there may be actions in the near future. How can I abandon everyone because of a little personal matter? That's why I discuss it behind closed doors. I'm afraid that it will shake the morale of the army."

Only then Gao Ziran nodded, he was naturally not interested in this kind of private matter, even if the other party was the son of Tang Guogong's family, "Then the official will leave, and the general who sent troops should pay attention!"

Chang Sheng said: "Of course!"

Everyone got up and sent Mr. Gao out respectfully.

"Okay, let's put this little matter aside for now, Director Fang, let's continue with what we just said about how to ambush the Turkic Tartars."

"Yes, my lord!"

According to the order of Changsheng, the intelligence network of Changshengying is closely monitoring the Turkic people in the northwest and southwest, but they do not reveal their goals. This is a long-term strategy.

At this moment, this kind of information worked, and Fang Xuanling took a briefing to Chang Sheng: "My lord, please take a look at it. It is the map of the main traffic routes near Yiwu and Linchuan, and the frequency of the horses and troops traveling between the two places. .”

Changsheng glanced at it and handed it over to the subordinates below. This is another leadership philosophy of hers. Let the subordinates participate in the decision-making as much as possible.

: "You judge, which way will the Turks retreat?"

Everyone remained silent, Chang Sheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Tell me about it."

"This, my subordinates dare not make unreasonable comments..." Fang Xuanling has always been only in charge of collection, and he has never thought about how to make judgments.

"Now you are allowed to make unreasonable arguments... let's talk about it."

So several people put forward various hypotheses on various analyses, and the discussion from the beginning gradually turned into a quarrel.

After listening to it for a long time, Changsheng really couldn't hear any nourishment before he said: "Okay, Director Fang, tell me."

"This, just now Battalion Commander Xiao said..." He glanced at Chang Sheng's face, hesitated and said, "But this, General Qin's suggestion is..."

"I don't want to listen to them, I want you to tell me!" Chang Sheng stood up suddenly, pointed at Fang Xuanling and shouted.

Fang Xuanling was sweating profusely, with a tense expression, trembling, thinking of a route: "I think so, maybe this..."

"Okay, then it's decided, this is it!" Chang Sheng waved his hand and made a final decision.

"Director Fang, pick a few clever people from Chief Zhang, and follow you to deduce the military situation. From now on, I seem to see the conclusion, as long as the conclusion, do you understand?"

"Humble job understands"

"Okay, you go down first."

Fang conspiracy put an end to it!

Fang Xuanling has been regarded as a master of planning since ancient times, but he lacks the courage to make a decision.In this life, Changsheng deliberately let him participate in the intelligence collection work, forcing him to find the most important one among the chaotic clues, and then make his own judgment.

This is much more reliable than her decision made only by intuition or memory.

"Director Zhang, you also bring [-] spies to choose an ambush point on these roads. Then come back and report."

Cultivating the ability to think independently is one thing, and preparing for the Tao is another.

She doesn't want anything to go wrong.

"Follow your orders!"

"Like him, I want to hear the analysis of the pros and cons of each route, and the reasons for the ambush conclusion, and write a report for me."

"It's my lord, I understand."

Zhang Baozang has always played the role of a staff officer. He used to plan the daily life of the camp. Now Changsheng wants to bring his talent to the military field.

"Director Fang is under your command for the time being. You should review his report first. One thing you have to remember is that he is only responsible for inquiring information and drawing maps. You are in charge of designated plans and plans. Are you clear about this?" Changsheng ordered.

"Yes, this subordinate knows what to do." Zhang Baozang replied.

After ordering their respective tasks, Changsheng began to announce his plan to everyone: "At a distance from Yiwu, at a distance where they are just tired and careless, set up roadblocks and traps to force them to abandon their horses and change their paces. They fought on the road. I led the team to meet them in the front, and Commander Qin led the cavalry to harass and pursue them from the flanks."

"My lord, do you really believe that the Turks will abandon the city and flee?" Qin Qiong asked a crucial question.

"I believe."

"Even if the Turkic people really abandon the city and flee, shall we use 2000 infantry to fight the opponent's nearly [-] cavalry?" Liao Zhong, the commander of the second battalion, asked, "When life and death are encountered, if the retreat route is blocked, the opponent will definitely fight to the death. wrestling."

"You have to ask Commander Qin about this." Changsheng looked at Qin Qiong: "Commander Qin is a soldier trained by you, how about it, do you have confidence?"

Qin Qiong's chest was bouncing: "Humble job has confidence!"

"Okay! Then go get ready, and set off when you're ready!"

On the night of November 25th in the third year of Daye, all the Changsheng camps mobilized!
