I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi thought for a while and asked: “The overall strength of Emperor Harshavardhana at this time is indeed quite tyrannical. However, the power of Brahman and Kshatriya is not to be feared. Emperor Harshavardhana’s own strength How is power divided?”

Shangguan Yi continued: “Speaking of Emperor Harshavardhana’s own forces, the most important force is elephant soldiers, six myriad forms soldiers. From this time. Elephant soldiers, not to mention there are nearly 10,000 giant elephants. After all, on each giant elephant, you can ride a few or even more than a dozen people. In addition, there are about 20,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry.”

Du Qi said: “Emperor Harshavardhana’s infantry is nothing to worry about. It is mainly the opponent’s elephant and cavalry. You must be cautious in dealing with this and you must not make any mistakes.”

Shangguan Yi said: “His Majesty said it is very true.”

Du Qi instructed: “Come, Zhao Laiji, Ma Zhou, Guan Zhilan, and Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang to discuss matters.”

“Yes !”

The soldiers outside the great hall immediately sent orders.

When I came to Ji and the others, they were dealing with things in the palace, and the three arrived first. Immediately, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang also entered the great hall, and after they arrived, they took their seats in the hall.

Du Qi looked around and said directly that Emperor Harshavardhana had sent troops north, and there was news that Brahmins and Kshatriya had gathered along the way. After the general news is finished, Du Qi continued: “What do you think about resisting and responding to Emperor Harshavardhana?” Lai Ji said: “His Majesty, the minister has a strategy.”

Du Qi said: “What strategy?”

Laiji’s eyes were sharp, and he said: “Emperor Harshavardhana sent troops north from Kannauj City, and there are more than 100,000 troops. There are also Brahman and Kshatriya. The race sent troops, it can be judged that the rear of Emperor Harshavardhana must be empty. Whether it is Kannauj City or other places, it will be like this, in a situation of empty troops.”

“In the hinterland of Harsha Empire The emptiness of troops everywhere is our opportunity to act.”

“The minister’s suggestion is that we arrange for people to sneak into the rear of Emperor Harshavardhana, instigate the people in various places to resist Brahman and Kshatriya, and take control of cities everywhere. It is impossible to cut off Emperor Harshavardhana’s retreat. Even if he can’t master the city, he will at least disrupt the rear and even cut off Emperor Harshavardhana’s food passage.” Lai Ji said: “As long as the plan is successful, the battle will be easy. .”

I have thought a lot about the plan for this battle. After all, these days, he has been thinking about sneaking behind enemy lines. As long as Emperor Harshavardhana sends out troops, there will be enough opportunities.

Du Qi said solemnly: “Then who sneak in, do you think about it?”

Lai Ji didn’t think about it at all, so he immediately said: “His Majesty, this time sneaked in The candidate is not based on our people. Because our people’s speech, behavior and language are not smooth, it will be very inconvenient.”

“The minister thinks that the candidate at this time can be arranged for the son of Batura Amir went.”

“The minister had known about Batura Provincial Governor, his son Amir was pure and compassionate. When the caste system was not abolished, he always sympathized with the people at the bottom. He hopes to improve the treatment of the people.”

“This matter was opposed at that time.”

Lai Ji said: “Especially because of his proposition, the former Jiantuo Luo Many people in the country, on the contrary, do not like Amir’s claims, thinking that Amir has no appearance as a monarch, and even unworthy as the heir of Jiantuolu.”

“However, Amir is extremely intelligent. , Can adapt at will.”

“So he arranged for him to go to the rear of Emperor Harshavardhana, and was responsible for dealing with Brahman and Kshatriya. The minister thought it was absolutely feasible. In addition, the long history around the Provincial Governor. There are many Deva, and it can also be arranged.”

“these all are talents.”

Laiji solemnly said: “In short, the plan at this time is based on Badra People dominate, locals in India sneak into various places to instigate.”

Du Qi praised after listening: “The plan to come to economics is feasible. I personally discussed this plan with Batura. “

Laiji took a step back and returned to his position.

Du Qi said: “Any other suggestions?”

Su Dingfang said: “His Majesty, the minister has a policy.”

Du Qi said: “Say Come and listen.”

Su Dingfang looked resolutely, said resolutely: “His Majesty, the minister’s suggestion is that Emperor Harshavardhana will lead the army northward to the state city of Jiantuoluo, and we will lead the army to fight. It is stationed outside the state city of Southwest Shilili.”

“In Southwest Shilili, there is a mountain named Mo Gaoshan. This topography is similar to the Niulan Mountain on the border of Guazhou. Mo Gaoshan The official road below is the only way for Emperor Harshavardhana to go north. We are stationed in Moshan to block Emperor Harshavardhana’s army. Because it is a hillside, Emperor Harshavardhana’s elephant soldiers cannot play a major role.”

“The opponent’s army will inevitably be blocked on the front line of Moshan Mountain and can only be stationed temporarily.”

“The final goal of the minister is to wait for Emperor Harshavardhana to be stationed before acting. They have a large number of elephants. Although the soldiers normally obeyed the command, we attacked each other and bombarded them with artillery fire. Under the successive explosions of the Gunpowder, the sound of The earth shook and the mountain quivered was shocked. By then, the giant elephants would be frightened and they would definitely run around.”

Su Dingfang said: “Imagine that nearly ten thousand giant elephants are chaotically, the army camp of Emperor Harshavardhana must be chaotic and completely out of control. We can take advantage of the chaos of the elephants to cover up, in a spurt of energy, defeat the army of Emperor Harshavardhana.”

“Wonderful!”

After listening to Du Qi, a smile appeared on his face and said: “About Su Dingfang’s suggestion, please How?”

Xue Rengui said: “The minister seconded.”

Guan Zhilan said: “The minister seconded.”

Laiji and Ma Zhou also nodded in agreement. Because Su Dingfang’s proposal is extremely maneuverable. In the current situation where Du Qi’s army has weapon advantages, this can be arranged.

Shangguan Yi opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, the minister agrees with General Su’s proposal. However, the minister believes that there can be more plots against and the whole plan can be supplemented.”

Du Qi said: “How are you going to add it?”

Shangguan Yi opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, all our troops are moved to the first line of Moshan Mountain, which can create a state city The emptiness. Although there are countless Brahmins and Kshatriya races who have been beheaded, most recently, countless people have gathered in the state city.”

“Many people, it is difficult to judge their identity.”

“Perhaps there are spies from the Brahman and Kshatriya races, or there may be people from these castes. At this point, we must further plot against these people and kill them all at once.”

Shangguan Yi opened the mouth and said: “The emptiness of the state city is an excellent opportunity. Once our army leaves, they will definitely see the opportunity and will choose to shoot.”

Du Qi 闻A light flashed in Yan’s eyes and praised: “Shangguan Yi’s strategy is very reasonable. Although it has killed a pass before and screened out most of the Brahmin and Kshatriya races, there will always be fish that slip through the net. even more How last time, I have never implicated ordinary Brahmin-born people. This time will test them again to see how they decide.”

Shangguan Yi said: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

Du Qi said: “Since the plan is clear, proceed according to this plan. When the Emperor Harshavardhana army is about to arrive, we will prepare to send troops, and now you are going to deal with your own affairs.”

Everyone responded together.

After everyone retreated, Du Qi arranged for someone to call Badra, who had just left. The instigation of rebellion in various places involved a group of people around Badra, who needed Badra’s cooperation, otherwise things would not move forward.

Batura entered the great hall, stood still and said: “His Majesty summoned, I don’t know what to order?”
