Chapter 730: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (2)

In the empty hall, only the three most powerful people in Dayan were left. Huo Tianliang had left, but his proposal made the three people in the hall feel shocked and saw endless hope. Geili Literature Network

"Lieutenant Zhou, Doctor Tan, what do you think of this matter?" Ji Ling looked at his right-hand man and asked in a deep voice, and the two people on the left and right already understood from Ji Ling's tone that the king had actually Heartbeat.

"Kumamoto is good at fighting. In that battle a few years ago, his forward troops fought all the way to Helin City in a bloody battle. If he can lead his troops to fight again, the significance to our country, Dayan, is self-evident, and more importantly Yes, the 30,000 struggling soldiers of our army in Donghu can also escape from the sea of ​​misery." Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the remaining 30,000 soldiers in Donghu have saved their lives. But they are miserable. This is our fault. Now that we have the opportunity to let them live a normal life again, I think it is feasible. "

"What do you think, Doctor Tan?"

"What the Lieutenant said is absolutely true." Tan Feng nodded and said, "But according to the information I have received, these 30,000 prisoners of war are living a very hard life in Donghu. Many of them have become extremely weak. If they are rearmed, there will be no more The generals who have been raised for more than a month or even half a year may not be able to fight on the battlefield at all. This is first and secondly, to re-arm these 30,000 soldiers, but Donghu asked us to provide the weapons and armor the soldiers need. Now that the land routes are cut off, there are so many. How to transport the weapons and equipment?”

"Didn't Huo Tianliang say we should go by sea? We only need to provide weapons and equipment, and he will arrange the sea route," Ji Ling said.

"If we take the sea route, which means that the Qi State has intervened, how can we ensure that these weapons will be completely transported to Donghu and not fall into the hands of the Qi people? Therefore, we still have to negotiate with the Qi State." Tan Tan Feng looked at Ji Ling and said, "Your Majesty, Qi will not miss this opportunity. They will ask us for territory. They have just been severely punished by the Taiwei. What they did not get on the battlefield, They will definitely want it at the negotiating table."

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary actions, as long as Qi's demands are not excessive, give it to him." Ji Ling gritted his teeth, "As long as we can get rid of Gao Yuan's henchman, if he eats ours, sooner or later I will have to spit it out. "

"Since the king has made up his mind, I will turn around and let Chunyu Yan handle this matter." Tan Feng nodded and said.

"An army of 30,000, if it can be rearmed, then the strength of our Dayan will be raised to a higher level. Thorpe, how dare he put an army of ours in his own hinterland, even if we are now because of Forced by circumstances, we have to join forces, but it is not an exaggeration to say that we have the same dreams but different dreams!" Ji Ling sighed: "Is there anything strange here?"

Zhou Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult for Thorpe. Even if the 30,000 troops are armed, their logistics and supplies are all in the hands of the Donghu people. The Donghu people must They will strangle their necks in the supply of food and grass. The simplest point is to supply food and grass on a daily basis. Such an army is not a threat to them at all, not to mention that they will definitely arrange The troops are nearby to monitor, these 30,000 people are just a knife in Thorp's hand to deal with Gao Yuan. "

"Although we know it is being used, it is still a good thing for us. If the waste can be used, it may be able to play a huge role." Ji Ling smiled, "By the way, Huo Tianliang said before, What are the names of the two important generals in the army deployed by Gao Yuan in Hetao?"

"Luo Weiran,

Chen Bin, these two people were former subordinates of Xiong Bin. "Zhou Yudao.

"Have Lieutenant Zhou heard of these two people before?"

"I have never heard of it. In the past, it should have been only a very low-level Yajiang, one of the generals." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"That's the problem!" Tan Feng on the side sighed: "A mere tooth general, general Pi, actually showed such strong fighting power under Gao Yuan's command. Brother Zhou, after listening to the battle story that Huo Tianliang told, You should also understand that there are two key points for Gao Yuan to achieve such a major victory in this battle. One is Chen Bin's stubborn defense in Dubo, and the other is Luo Weiran's brazen attack. Why is such a strong general in our university? When Yan Chang prepared the army, he could only serve as a small general, a general? "

Zhou Yu remained silent. He naturally knew the joints here.

"Is it Gao Yuan's ability to turn stone into gold? Or did these two people suddenly have earth-shattering abilities? No, Your Majesty, this is the shortcoming of our previous system. People like Luo Weiran, Chen Bin and others with great ambitions Talents, but under the old mechanism, there is no chance of promotion at all, and they can only spend their lives anonymously, while a large number of job seekers are occupying high positions and eating nothing. If we cannot change this old mechanism , there are still countless people like Luo Weiran and Chen Bin who have been buried. It’s not that we don’t have talents, but that a large number of talents cannot be promoted and reused! Luo Weiran and Chen Bin are now serving under Gao Yuan. One is the army commander, and the other is the division commander, and both of them have become generals in charge of the army. This matter deserves our vigilance! "

"What Dr. Tan said makes perfect sense, but it's not time for us to use strong medicine yet. We can only change it bit by bit. Aren't we already doing it? Lieutenant Zhou, the army might as well move a little faster. Some time ago, Dr. Tan sent a piece of information about the promotion of officers by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. During peacetime, they also have various methods to evaluate officials. Those who are capable will be promoted and those who are weak will be demoted. You may wish to learn from it. "

"Yes, it has been implemented in the army. In the newly formed army, a large number of people who are from poor backgrounds but have real talents and learning have been promoted. However, it is not as cold as a day. Your Majesty, this matter We can only do it step by step." Zhou Yu said.

Ji Ling nodded and said: "Dayan wants to become stronger. Now there are two biggest enemies. One is lofty ambition, and the other is pent-up for many years. Both of them require us to be extremely careful. We cannot be careless at all. , Zhou Yu, since Luo Weiran and Chen Bin were both Kumamoto's subordinates in the past, can Kumamoto send someone to lobby? If they can be convinced, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Gao Yuan. "

"I will discuss this matter carefully with Doctor Tan after I go down. No matter whether it succeeds or not, give it a try. Even if it fails, it will make them suspicious of each other." Zhou Yu said.

Ji Ling nodded and looked back at the huge map of the Yan Kingdom hanging behind him. The areas in western Liaoning, Hejian and other places were dyed shocking red.

"Huo Tianliang is right about one thing. Now is the place where Gaoyuan is very weak. In western Liaoning and Hejian, the Eastern Expedition Army is weak. This is indeed a good opportunity. We must choose a place in these places as a Breakthrough, and use this to mobilize Gao Yuan's strength. If he can be forced to mobilize the troops in Hetao back, it will create opportunities for Kumamoto. As long as Xiong Ben can take the Hetao, Gao Yuan will definitely lose sight of one thing and lose the other."

Zhou Yu stood up and walked to the map, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this issue before. In my opinion, if we want to take action this time, the place to choose is neither Liaoxi nor Hehe. Time, but Anlu."

His finger stabbed heavily at the location of Anlu in Yuyang County.

"When we took back Yuyang County last year, the Eastern Expeditionary Army took advantage of the situation and took over Anlu. Anlu has the largest copper and iron mines in Yan State. Once the Eastern Expeditionary Army got this place, they immediately became more powerful. The iron ore mines that previously restricted them The problem of deficiencies will be solved easily, so if we don’t take action, we must take Anlu first.”

"Anlu Guardsman Zeng Xianyi was once a subordinate of Jiang Xinliang in Yuyang County. After Jiang Xinliang's death, he defected to the Eastern Expedition Army. His subordinates had three thousand troops with good combat effectiveness. After Anlu, Xinhui , is a part of the Eastern Expedition Army commanded by General Naha, with a strength of about three to five thousand people. To capture Anlu, we need to mobilize about 20,000 troops, and Kongde's army has been fighting against it before. He is also a veteran of the war in Qi State, so as long as he is given enough support, it is not impossible to capture Anlu in a sudden attack."

Tan Feng also stood up, "Not only do we know the importance of Anlu to the Eastern Conquest Army, but Gao Yuan himself also knows that his Central Group Army only has about 15,000 people, but he deployed more than one-third of the troops in Anlu." We have the power of one, so if we want to attack Anlu, we have to make plans from other places first, that is to say, we can deceive the opponent's sight so that they don't think that we will start from Anlu."

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, "You mean Liaoxi?"

"Yes, Liaoxi. Liaoxi is the base camp where Gao Yuan started his career. He will never tolerate losses in Liaoxi. We have always deployed heavy troops in Langya, and the commander-in-chief Hu Yanchao is an experienced general. Therefore, let Langya first Gao Yuan mobilized and made the illusion of attacking western Liaoning to confuse the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Gao Yuan's troops are now limited, and a large number of troops are deployed in the Hetao and Panshan areas. As long as we can successfully mobilize his troops, victory can be expected. .”

When it came to military warfare, Ji Ling could only listen, but after seeing the analysis of the two ministers, he had a general idea in his mind. While he was sketching the general military plan of the two men in his mind, Tan Feng It's time to look back, "Your Majesty, because of Gao Yuan's great victory in Hetao, the unstable elements in Jicheng became active again, and Xun Xiu, the newly appointed Minister of Rites of Zhengdong Mansion, is a great scholar of Yan State. We, the nobles of Great Yan, have very wide connections among the courtiers and many disciples. After this person took office, he kept sending people to contact these people. Yan Lingwei has already mastered a lot of conclusive evidence. At this important moment, Ji The city will never tolerate anyone's wavering. I ask the king for permission not to show mercy to these people."

"It's time for Jicheng to be cleaned up again." Ji Ling's face was as cold as ice, "There is no need to be merciful, the dregs have been cleared away, and the elites who remain loyal to me, Dayan, will be the ones left."

"I, I obey the king's order!" Tan Feng stood up and bowed, with ruthless killing intent flashing in his eyes. [End of this chapter]
