At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

As soon as the reward order was issued, those officials in Shuodong City who had returned victorious ahead of time were ecstatic.

You have to know that when Xia Yun arranged the combat orders, they were all in a state of fear.

They were afraid that Xia Yun would hold them accountable.

Unexpectedly, after the barbarian troops were wiped out, Xia Yun actually gave them such a generous reward!

All of a sudden, all the officials in Shuodong City began to change their views on Xia Yun.

It seemed that Xia Yun was not that scary in their eyes.

The time is till late at night.

Subsequently, with the joint efforts of dozens of generals, a complete and detailed map of Gansu was successfully drawn up.

In the lobby of the county government, a brand new map was laid directly on the ground, covering an area of ​​nearly four square meters.

All the roads, rivers, and mountains on the map were clearly depicted.

Including all the abandoned villages along the way, or some rivers that have been changed, all kinds of terrain are available!

"Sir, I dare not say anything else, but if we only consider the detail and completeness of the map, this map must be the best in Gansu Province!"

Li Taisui, the lieutenant general in charge of coordinating the map drawing, spoke in front of Xia Yun with a sense of pride.

"You did a great job. All the generals who participated in the map drawing today will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"

Xia Yun waved his hand and gave a commendation on the spot.

Those who make mistakes must be punished, and those who make merits must be rewarded. This has always been Xia Yun's rule for leading troops.

"Thank you, Marshal!"

On both sides of the hall, the commended admirals all had expressions of great pride on their faces.

At this time, Xia Yun had already begun planning the final encirclement and suppression campaign in his mind.

"Qin Tianye, if you were in charge of this war, how would you deploy your troops?"

About a quarter of an hour later, Xia Yun suddenly uttered a few words out of the blue.

"Subordinates come to command?"

Qin Tianye was stunned when he heard this.

But then, his eyes were fixed on the entire map of Gansu.

But his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he immediately began to think hard.

After a while, Qin Tianye seemed to have thought of some strategy and raised his head again.

"General, if you want me to lead this war, you can first order Chong Heihu and Zhao Xinlei to lead 50,000 cavalry each to carry out harassment tactics against the enemy's heavy troops besieging Shuoxi City to tire out the enemy's mind."

"Then send a 50,000-strong army to Lichuan City."

"Send an army of 80,000 soldiers to Wendou City."

"Send a 60,000-strong army to Wanxian."

"Send another 50,000-strong force to Dazhou."

"According to the action plan, these four forces will launch a surprise attack on the four cities at midnight. We must ensure that the four cities are captured at the same time."

"In this way, the four important towns west of Shuoxi City will all be recaptured by our army, making it impossible for the enemy to take care of both ends, and cutting off the enemy's 300,000 barbarian troops' route to retreat westward."

Qin Tianye pointed at the map and described his ideas about this war.

The four cities he mentioned were all the four towns west of Shuoxi City, which have been occupied by the barbarian troops.

"In addition, while these four heavy troops are attacking the four cities respectively, our army will simultaneously dispatch an elite infantry unit to march in chariots to the Mobei Mountains to block the enemy's escape route to the north."

"When everything is ready, our army will concentrate all its superior forces and attack Shuoxi City directly to inflict heavy damage on the enemy! By then, the enemy will be unable to resupply and will be trapped in a jar!"

Qin Tianye spoke again and again, and even when he finished speaking, he still had a look of wanting more.

Xia Yun, who was standing aside, listened quietly to Qin Tianye's entire idea about the war, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Yes, it is rare for Qin Tianye to arrange such a strategy from the perspective of a head coach in such a short time.

In fact, Qin Tianye’s strategic plan is even very similar to his inner plans.

"Since it's a strategy of great depth and great detour, why do we need to let Chong Heihu and Zhao Xinlei lead the cavalry to harass the barbarian army?"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun pointed out the loopholes in Qin Tianye's plan.

There is no doubt that the tactic of using four heavy troops to make a large detour and launch a surprise attack on four cities including Lichuan City was quite ingenious.

However, sending 100,000 cavalry to harass the barbarian troops was an ill-considered move.

"My Lord, what you are teaching me is that I was not thoughtful enough."

Qin Tianye nodded as if he suddenly understood something.

In the face of the tactics of large-scale detour and encirclement, tactical commands at each stage must be complete and stable.

Sending Chong Heihu and Zhao Xinlei to harass the main force of the barbarians may, on the surface, tire out the enemy.

But in fact, once this barbarian army of nearly 300,000 surrounded Chong Heihu and Zhao Xinlei's 100,000 cavalry, the plan would undoubtedly be disrupted.

Although this possibility is not great, they are now commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, which are the entire main force of the court!

Any slight mistake will affect the entire battle situation!

"Pass on my order. From now on, all the troops of the imperial army heading west will be on high-intensity combat readiness for 24 hours."

"Cancel all daily training. All soldiers must get enough rest before the war!"

Soon, Xia Yun's gaze swept across the generals present.

"I obey my orders!"

In the lobby, dozens of lieutenant generals immediately burst into thunderous responses.

An extremely fanatical desire to fight was clearly visible on everyone's face.

……

Time flies and two days pass.

In the evening of that day, Xia Yun appeared in Shuodong City, on the city wall.

He was directing the soldiers to reinforce the walls of Shuodong City.

The war is coming.

According to his plan, Lian Shuodong might be affected by the war.

Therefore he must make adequate preparations in advance.

"General, the spies that Zhao Wuji has deployed in Nanmo City have sent back the latest information. Pei Xingyuan's 150,000 troops have left the city!"

Qin Tianye hurried to the city wall and soon appeared behind Xia Yun to report.

This statement came out.

Xia Yun immediately stopped the work at hand, and when he came to his senses, a shrewd light was flowing in his pair of eyes as dark as night.

"Is the venomous snake finally going to start biting people?"

Xia Yun sneered.

In the past few days, Pei Xingyuan's actions were just as he expected.

Even after he personally gave the order for Pei Xingyuan to lead his troops to attack Guihua City, Pei Xingyuan still turned a deaf ear to it.

There was no movement for several days.

Obviously he has other plans!

Now Pei Xingyuan's 150,000 troops have come out in full force. He absolutely does not believe that Pei Xingyuan's purpose is to attack Guihua City!
