20demayo Chapter 224
Chapter 224
The state division system of Liang State is different from that of Xia State. Liang State is divided into five courts. The Central Court has the largest area and the Southern Court has the smallest area, but it also has a territory equivalent to the three states of Xia State.
If all the soldiers in more than 80 cities are mobilized, the number of troops will be at least millions, but most of them are ordinary city guards with limited combat power.
Facing such a huge territory, Long Tian naturally covets it. Now in terms of troops, the Northern Territory also has the ability to fight, but it needs to be operated well.
"Your Highness, the enemy and us will definitely have a tough battle in the early stage of this battle, and the losses will not be too small. I suggest that the initial battle should be mainly handed over to the Barbarian Iron Cavalry."
"First, the Barbarians are a foreign race. It is just right to use this battle to better recover the Barbarians. Second, it will avoid greater losses for us."
Jia Xu hasn't given advice for a long time, and this guy is a ruthless move.
If the Barbarians go ahead, they can avoid greater losses for the Zhenbei Army, which is of great benefit to the Northern Territory.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. After this battle, the Barbarian Cavalry will suffer great losses, which will facilitate Long Tian's future rule.
"No, this battle must be two-pronged, and we cannot rely solely on the Barbarians."
Although Long Tian understood Jia Xu's idea, he did not agree with Jia Xu's approach. This is because once these Barbarians practiced the skills provided by Long Tian, they would gradually evolve into loyal warriors.
Since they are already his own people, Long Tian cannot sacrifice their lives in vain. There is no need for this.
Another point is that if the Barbarian Cavalry suffers too much loss, it will not be conducive to Long Tian's plan for the entire Barbarians.
In Long Tian's view, there is no difference between the Barbarian Cavalry and the Zhenbei Army. If there is a difference, it is different from the Han Iron Cavalry and other military forces that were called in.
These military forces are all soldiers who died in the previous life. If it is not necessary, Long Tian will not sacrifice them at will. This is a little selfishness in Long Tian's heart.
"This battle will not only rely on the Barbarian Cavalry, but also Wei Qing's Han Cavalry and Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Cavalry will be the main force, and other Zhenbei troops will be auxiliary."
To attack Liang State, it is best to use cavalry to break up the Liang Army as soon as possible.
As long as the main force of Liang State is defeated, the remaining cities can be attacked slowly. The key point is the main force of the 7 million Liang Army.
"Your Majesty, the Liang Army seems to be powerful, but there is a significant disadvantage, that is, the logistics of food, fodder, weapons, etc. As long as we make arrangements for this, this battle will be much easier."
"With the ability of the Night Prison masters, it is not difficult to raid and destroy part of Liang State's granaries, but it will be of great help to the direction of the war."
"At the same time, we must also make full preparations in this regard to prevent the raid of Liang State masters."
Seeing that Long Tian opposed his proposal, Jia Xu did not say much, but made another suggestion.
This is very consistent with Long Tian's idea.
The supply required for the seven million troops is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable. If there is a problem with the logistics, it will be disastrous.
Even if the Southern Court of Liang State gives everything, it will not be able to supply this war.
"Song Que, this operation of sneaking into Liang State is handed over to you. You can choose the personnel yourself. I have only one request, not only to destroy the Liang army's food and weapons, but also to assassinate the middle and high-level leaders of the Liang army."
"You can arrange the specific actions yourself. I will not participate. I just want the results."
Song Que is not only a martial arts master, but also an excellent commander. It is much better for him to handle this matter than others.
At least Song Que will not attack blindly and arbitrarily. He will make certain targeted plans and then act step by step.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I only need to take away some of the Night Prison masters."
When the two sides go to war, Song Que is worried that the masters of Liang State will assassinate Long Tian. Song Que will definitely not take Dugu Qiubai and others away.
This will increase the difficulty of this mission to a certain extent.
Long Tian nodded, signaling Song Que to make his own arrangements.
"Wei Qing and Yuwen Chengdu have been preparing for a while, and even Liang State has discovered their traces. Without further ado, order the two to lead the army to attack Liang State's South Courtyard immediately."
"Yuan Chonghuan, you should also set off. Your mission is to be the main force of the Liang Army. No matter what method you use, break up the Liang Army for me."
"Han Xin, the subsequent Zhenbei Army will be handed over to you for command, and the task of conquering cities and territories will also be handed over to you. I hope that after this battle, Liang State will no longer have a South Courtyard."
For this battle, Long Tian has been preparing for a long time, and there is nothing to arrange. It depends on how the generals perform.
"By the way, I have also brought the weapons that Ou Yezi, Lu Ban and others have been manufacturing for several months. I hope it will be helpful to you."
"In addition, I will leave you enough food, and you can send a large army to take over."
Food and grass, Long Tian can be unlimitedSupply, this is a huge advantage in war, an incomparable advantage.
With these guarantees, Long Tian believes that this time there will be a good result.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian has arrived in Jeju, and with the cooperation of Night Prison and Shadow, he successfully found Princess Jin Fenghuang and Prince Jin Haotian."
"With the cooperation of the two, Wang Jian's action to take over Jeju is very smooth, and there will be basically no war. Jeju people are not very resistant to joining the North. General Wang Jian asked whether to transfer his 500,000 troops to Liang State."
Cao Zhengchun received the news from Wang Jian and reported immediately.
After all, Jin Fenghuang and Jin Haotian are Jin Chengye's own children, so it is naturally impossible for him to be ruthless. He just controlled the two to avoid leaking information and trouble.
Now that Jin Chengye has failed, it is not difficult to find and rescue the two.
Jin Fenghuang is most dissatisfied with his father's behavior. This is not only sacrificing his own happiness, but also taking the whole Jeju to risk.
The North Territory is unfathomable now. My father actually believed the slander and attacked the North Territory rashly. What a stupid thing to do.
Now that she failed, Jin Fenghuang was not sad, but took it for granted, especially since Long Tian could still treat her father well. Jin Fenghuang was also very pleased. Perhaps, this was the best result for Jeju.
Therefore, after seeing Wang Jian, Jin Fenghuang began to cooperate with the North Territory's actions, making the actions very smooth. After all, in Jeju, Jin Fenghuang's reputation was second only to Jin Chengye. With her coming forward, many things would be solved.
As for Jin Haotian, this kid was just like Long Tian before. He just wanted to be a happy second-generation ancestor and was unwilling to participate in intrigues.
The Duke of Jin Chengye was still there, and Long Tian would not treat this brother-in-law badly in the future. Jin Haotian had no dissatisfaction. For him, life had not changed.
Everyone has the life they want. Since it can be realized, there is no contradiction, and things will naturally go smoothly.
Besides mobilizing Wang Jian's army, Long Tian had his own considerations.
