Cao Keming joined the army with his uncle Cao Guangshi when he was a child, and it was Yuan Hao's grandfather Zhao Jiqian who rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and Cao Guangshi served as the inspection envoy of Yin, Xia and other states. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info fought repeatedly, Cao Guangshi fought Zhao Jiqian powerlessly, broke through his clan tent, and even captured his mother and wife. Later, Zhao Jiqian surrendered by deception, set up an ambush and booby-trapped Cao Guangshi, and then Salted Fish turned over. Cao Keming has a deep hatred with the party, and this time Xu Ping specially recruited him to participate in the war together.

When he first entered Yongzhou to make a general judgment, Xu Ping worked with Cao Guangshi, although there were some small contradictions at first, and then the cooperation was quite pleasant. By now, Xu Ping has become the second of the six ministers, and he has become Cao Keming's backer all the way.

Cao Keming thanked Xu Ping and said: "Fan Qiang is deceitful, and when dealing with them, you must be cautious and careful in everything." ”

Xu Ping nodded, looked at everyone and said aloud: "Cao Duhu's words are extremely true!" We must firmly remember that everything is up to me, and we should be the main one, and we must not leave anything to chance. Cao Duxun was a famous general, and he used soldiers like a god, and he could have destroyed the party traitors and pacified the northwest. didn't want Zhao Jiqian to surrender by deception, Cao Duxun was credulous, and he was martyred in battle. When we use soldiers against thieves, we will always be prepared for them to resist to the end! When the Tibetan Ministry comes to surrender, we naturally welcome it, show it sincerely, treat it with kindness, and reward it sparingly. However, no matter which tribe comes to surrender, it is necessary for their leader to come to our tent and raise the tribe to abandon the staff before they can be surrendered. It is a pity that you must not be greedy for merit and rashly go to negotiate with the leaders of the Tibetan tribe, so you will be ambushed. Fan Qiang is cunning and deceitful, in fact, not only Cao Duxun, but also Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Liugu Fan Tribe, was also booby-trapped by Dang Xiang Qiang. - Wang Jianjun, you write it down, this article is counted as military discipline, and whoever dares to violate it will be severely punished by the Shuaifu! ”

Wang Kai promised with a forked hand.

Xu Ping nodded and said to Wang Kai: "After talking about the route of Yuzang Huama's possible crimes, you will now talk about the strategy of the Shuaifu." ”

Wang Kai turned around and pointed to the map and said, "For Yu Zanghua Ma to invade this autumn and winter, the layout of the Shuai Mansion is as follows. The Xuanwei army guarded the area of Fuqiang Village, blocked the mouth of the Sandu River Valley, and then fought a head-on battle with Yuzang Hua Mabu. After the Ming Shenwu army tiptoed behind, before Yu Zanghua Ma attacked, he should have deployed his troops to block their retreat. The pass is firmly rooted in the closed gate, so before the war starts, it should be infiltrated into the mountains and forests around the closed gate with light troops, and then occupy this pass in one fell swoop. The rest belonged to the Mingshenwu army, occupying the mountains and forests on both sides of the Sandu River, and the battle together divided the invading enemy, and together with the Xuanwei army, annihilated the enemy in the valley. The specific arrangement will be sent to you, and everything will be done according to the plan. The Sichuan Gorge Fourth Route Army, which was escorted by Cao Du, was stationed in the Guwei area and contacted the familiar households there, so that they could not make trouble when Yu Zanghua Ma came to attack. As soon as the war was over, Gu Wei immediately sent troops to occupy the Western Envoy City along the Aral River Valley. There is Houchuan Pass in the north of Guwei, which should be occupied first. The armies of the Deshun army, when assembled in the Jingbian Village, wait until Yuzang Huama sends troops, the Shuaifu will issue a military order, you along the Shuiluo River, into the Wating River, and then go to Zhiping Village, attack the Zuli River Valley. If there is no party army to block it, it will attack the city of Sichuan and open the way to attack Huizhou. If the party sent a large army, it would build the city in the old city of Zuli County, which was set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and hold on there. After the Qinzhou army occupies the Western Envoy City, it will send troops along the Guan River Valley to support you. There were no party soldiers and horses stationed on this road, and there was no large Tibetan army, so there should be no big war. However, there are many Tibetan tribes on the road, and how to appease them and not hinder the advance of the army should be attentive to this. ”

Several people agreed, and looked at the map behind Wang Kai together, each with a total in their hearts.

Once Yuzang Huama sends troops, it is very likely that all the Tibetan tribes in the above-mentioned areas will follow, and that area will become an open space. Even if there are those who do not follow the troops, I am afraid that they will not agree with the party, and they will not resist if they stand on the side of the Song Dynasty. The troops of Cao Keming and the Deshun army, taking advantage of the emptiness there, occupied important places and controlled the situation first. After the Qinzhou army ate Yuzang hemp, he immediately marched north along the road he marched on, and joined up with Cao Keming and the Deshun army.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jianji asked: "This way to march, the road is not close, I don't know how to supply grain and grass?" ”

Wang Kai said: "Before you enter the Wating River, you will prepare your own grain and grass, and after you enter the Wating River, it will be supplied by Qinzhou. Before the war broke out, the Shuai Mansion would prepare grain and grass in the area of Zhiping Village, which could be used for several months. ”

Liu Jianji forked his hands: "In this way, we should obey the military order!" ”

motioned for Wang Kai to sit down first, and said in a loud voice: "After this battle is fought, we will open the door to attack the party, and at the same time threaten Lan and Hui Erzhou." As soon as Lanzhou is in Lanzhou, Hexi will be in control, and the party will be cut off. As soon as Huizhou was reached, the flank of the Zhenrong army would be safe from now on, and the party would no longer dare to break along the Hulu River. The importance of this battle does not need to be talked about, everyone should know it in their hearts! ”

Everyone promised.

Xu Ping said: "The key to this battle is not to occupy the Western Envoy City and Huichuan, but to annihilate all the departments led by Yu and Tibetan hemp. To fight a war is to destroy as many of our enemies as possible and preserve as many of our own people as possible. No matter what big city is strong, it always needs people to defend it, and if you kill the enemy, what city can't be captured? For the Central Plains, the party is just a small state, not to mention the various departments. If you can kill tens of thousands of people, one or two hundred thousand people on the battle front, the party will not be able to support it. When the time comes, the army will go north, and it will be effortless! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping looked at everyone and said in an accentuated tone: "In the past, the imperial court used soldiers, and most of them were based on the city and the wall. There is naturally nothing wrong with defending the city and protecting the people, but just by doing so, you lose your roots. Fight off the enemy once, and they will come again the next year, when will the cycle be the end? Therefore, here in Qin Fenglu, we will no longer do this, but mainly to annihilate the invading enemy. 10,000 people kill 10,000 people, 100,000 people kill 100,000 people, as long as such a battle is fought a few times, the border will naturally be peaceful. It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its five fingers, so in every battle, we must be completely annihilated, not defeated and defeated. If you can't do it, you'd rather let one enemy retreat than leave behind those who can eat! ”

Seeing that everyone was watching him intently and not speaking, Xu Ping suddenly smiled: "Everyone understands the truth, everyone can come up with a strategy, but the difference is that what they think of can be done into practice." Yu Zang Hua Ma came to attack this time, it is estimated that the number will not be too small, how can there be tens of thousands of people, after all, he has the support of the party, which is incomparable to the previous leaders of the Tibetan tribe. The combat power of these Tibetan troops will not be too high, but they are familiar with geography, and their ability to turn over and cross the mountains will not be bad. It's not an easy task to eat them all. In the next few days, I will bother you to stay in the marshal's mansion temporarily, and ask Wang Jianjun to work with you to explain the specific terrain of the designated battlefield and the Tibetan tribes that may oppose us. The strategy for this time should be detailed to where each commander marches from, how to march, how many miles to walk in a day, where to station, where water comes from and where food comes from when stationed. Fighting against thieves, where to choose the battlefield, how to arrange it, and how to respond if it does not match the preset. The most important thing to do is to list the joints, what things for each army means that the war has begun, what things mean that the strategy should be changed, what things indicate the end of the war, and most importantly, what has been done is what you have completed the military order! ”
