Zhang Shaoming, Guo Xiaoqi, Zhao Xuanhu, Ye Qinghu, and the five generals of Nandao whispered.

Repeatedly discuss the pros and cons of Yang Yue's plan and strive to make the best choice.

After some discussion, Guo Xiao rode to the center of the military tent, clenched his fists and said to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, the last general believes that the 100,000 Tang army can severely damage the Turks, but for decades, the Tang army has never broken into the territory of the Turks, and this march is too risky.

What's more, if you go deep into the grassland, you will encounter the Hutu King, the Hun Evil King, and the leaders of other Turkic tribes along the way to lead the army to resist, and the Tang army will go deep alone, and there is little hope of reaching the Turkic royal court safely.

If you win, you will feed the war with war, and the army will not lack food and grass, and if you lose, the three armies will be demoralized, and you will lack food and clothing, and the army will be defeated.

In addition, the Turkic royal court has always chased the migration of water and grass, this year's drought is serious, the location of the Turkic royal court may change a lot, and it is difficult to find the Turkic royal court by leading the army deep into the steppe.

In addition, the drought is severe and the water source is scarce, if the army gets lost in the grassland, the consequences are unimaginable.

The last general dared to suggest that the emperor think twice before acting, and this battle will be fought steadily and steadily, gradually encroaching on the Turkic territory and weakening the opponent's strength!"

Guo Xiaoqi is calm and cautious, yesterday the Tang army won steadily, the victory should be pursued in the border battle, first eliminate the three divisions of Zuo Xian Wang, instead of taking risks and go deep into the grassland, looking for the Turkic royal court iron cavalry to fight to the death.

When the generals heard Guo Xiaoqi's suggestion, they had their own opinions, some agreed, and some refuted.

They all looked nervous and serious, muttering to each other about the military situation.

"Your Majesty, what General Guo said is true, this battle should be fought steadily and steadily, and every step will bring benefits.

However, if the emperor insists on sending generals to lead the army deep into the grassland, the last general is willing to lead 50,000 iron horsemen out of the Great Wall for the vanguard, go deep into the grassland, and trek through mountains and rivers to find the Turkic royal court!" Zhang Shaoming got up, glanced at the generals and said to Yang Yue: "The last general privately thinks that the two generals of the Tang Dynasty led 100,000 iron cavalry deep into the grassland, even if they could not find the Turkic royal court, but along the way they severely damaged the tribes in southern Turkic Xinjiang, weakened the Turkic forces, plundered their wealth, population, cattle, sheep and horses, and the army went deep into the Turkic steppe, which is still of extraordinary significance."

Zhang Shaoming suggested that contrary to Guo Xiaocai, he was willing to take risks on expeditions, especially as soon as possible to surprise and disturb the tribes of the southern Turkic Xinjiang.

"Your Majesty, the last general supported General Zhang's suggestion to send iron cavalry deep into the grassland, not necessarily to find the Turkic royal court, wipe out the small tribes on the periphery of the Turks as soon as possible, plunder the other party's cattle and sheep, and the people, can also weaken the Turkic living forces, wait for the elimination of the three divisions of Zuo Xian Wang, Zuo Gu Li Wang, and Yan Xingjun, and then concentrate the superior forces to eliminate the Turks.

What's more, the emperor has sent Sassanid merchants to propose to Antony to send troops, and the two sides are flanking and sending troops to conquer the Turks.

Within half a month, whether Sassanid sends troops to recruit the Turks, there will be results!" Zhao Xuanhu stood up and supported Zhang Shaoming's suggestion.

I also want to lead the army deep into the grassland and make contributions.

Hearing this, Yang Yue's eyes shifted to Nandao Ming and Ye Qinghu, and asked, "If the two Aiqing have any suggestions, you might as well say it."

Nan Daoming, Ye Qinghu glanced at each other, got up, and walked to the center of the military tent.

"Your Majesty, the drought in the Turkic territory is serious, resulting in a shortage of water outside the Great Wall, no matter who leads the army deep into the steppe, it is necessary to reconnoiter the detailed marching route in advance, in case of accidents and getting lost in the Turkic territory." Nan Dao Ming clenched his fists and suggested to Yang Yue.

"Your Majesty, the last general supports General Zhang, General Zhao's suggestion, you can't put the battlefield in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you must try to transfer the battlefield to the territory of the Turks!" Ye Qinghu said categorically: "Even if you can't hit the Turks hard, you can reduce the damage of the war to the Tang Dynasty."

Knowing what you heard, Yang Yue stood up suddenly, waved his big hand and said categorically: "Since the three generals support the Northern Expedition deep into the grassland, act according to my will, and send a message to Luo Shishang, ordering him to lead the army to contain the Liwang of Zuogu, Yan Xingjun, command Yuan Mingsha, Li Yucheng, lead the elite of Hedong, and do their best to weaken the strength of the Turkic two divisions.

Lin Kaiyue was summoned to lead the northern expedition to the Turkic territory, and first annihilated the Turks in the north of the Western Surrender City, near the Tang Dynasty.

General Zhang, you personally led 50,000 iron cavalry, and also went out of the Great Wall as soon as possible, echoing with Lin Kaiyue's army in southern Turkic Xinjiang, advancing in the east and west together, even if you can't go deep into the grassland and annihilate the Turkic royal court, you must also wipe out all the tribes in southern Turkic Xinjiang, and by the way, mobilize the three tribes of Zuo Xianwang out of the city to find a good way to annihilate."

After that, Yang Yue walked to the center of the tent and continued to say loudly: "Guo Xiaoqi, Nandao Ming, you send spies to closely adhere to Zuo Xianwang's department, Zhang Shaoming, Lin Kaiyue led the army out of the Great Wall, if he dares to lead his troops out of the city to pursue, immediately pounce on him like a jackal, tiger and leopard, eat it, and destroy him."

Yang Yue's plan is firm and unquestionable, he believes in himself and the ability of the generals.

After this battle, the Turks who occupied the four cities of the Tang Dynasty should also get out of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, the generals completed his deployment as planned, regardless of whether the Sassanids crusaded against the Turks on the Western Front and transferred the battle line into the territory of the Turks, the Tang army would undoubtedly win.

"Yes!"

Zhang Shaoming, Guo Xiaoqi, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu nodded forcefully.

Don't dare to be sloppy and lax.

"General Zhang, you and General Lin led the troops to the Turks, and in this battle, spies must be sent in advance to find water sources, and only by ensuring that the water sources are sufficient can we ensure that the Tang army conquest of the Turks." Guo Xiao rode cautious advice.

"General Guo, don't worry, the old man has his own arrangements!"

This battle is extremely dangerous, and if it can be won, it will definitely bring immeasurable benefits to Datang.

What's more, things are man-made.

They are convinced that they can succeed.

Everything was arranged, Yang Yue motioned to the generals to sit down, everyone drank and talked, and at midnight, the banquet ended.

The next day, the generals reorganized the three armies and made rapid preparations.

For decades, it was the Turks who went south, threatened the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and acted as a prestige in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army never went to the Turks.

This time, Yang Yue took the risk of deploying 100,000 iron horsemen and went deep into the steppe to find the Turks to fight.

It can be described as a desperate gamble and a desperate risk.

However, sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will have a life-and-death confrontation, and the generals are full of confidence and firmly believe that the Tang Army's Northern Expedition will inevitably be a great victory.

When Yang Yue inspected the three armies on the city wall, his cronies came to report, and Adenolan urgently asked for a meeting, and it seemed that the messenger who went to the Turkic interior brought back news of Timur.

Temur?

This guy is one of the four fierce generals under the account of Agus, and one of the only two remaining fierce generals, whether he led the army to defect and surrender to the Tang Dynasty is related to the strength of the crisis encountered by the Tang Army's Northern Expedition.
