Chapter 117: Seven Counterattack Plan
As soon as Temon returned to Tukhi, he heard the bad news of the battle of Sand Lake. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This incident was really a blow to Tuqi, especially at this time of year, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and Timon began to think about how to deal with the situation before he saw Abicheril.
Things were exactly as he had expected, and the first question Abiciel asked when he saw him was what to do right now.
Timon knew that at this point it was pointless to hold accountable for the defeat, and that it was not because Abcilir did not understand Liu Xianzhi's intentions, but because Liu Xianzhi's trickery instigated the Tuqi army. Thus the topic of Timon did not go to this point: "Great Khan, as you can see, there are three things that we have to solve at the moment. First, I have reached an agreement with Baibasbar to send troops together, but it is difficult to guarantee whether the other party will send troops as agreed, because although Baibasbarn's actions are not unusual on the surface, in his heart he must have the calculation of taking advantage of the fire to rob and reap the benefits. Second, our troops were seriously damaged, and the appearance of Shahu City greatly reduced the possibility of our army raiding the Western Regions from the eastern route, and if we launched an attack from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Wang Hanxin would have been prepared for a long time, and this battle would be quite difficult. Thirdly, the Great Khan has never been so defeated before, which has damaged your prestige. Most of the people who have come to the deed are gathered for profit, and those who are not divided for profit, and the decline in the prestige of the Great Khan will lead to the rise of covetousness among the various tribes, which the Great Khan has to guard against. ”
Abiciel nodded, "I know what you said, but how to deal with it?" ”
"I have already thought about these points on the way here, and although I have not had time to perfect them, I have to say them for the Khan's reference. First of all, the attitude of the Bataan Territory is not clear, then we should make it clear to him, even if he will not take the initiative to send troops, as long as the Silk Country feels that he is likely to send troops, then the value of the existence of the Bataan Territory can be realized. In the past, the Great Khan sent me a secret envoy to cover up the suddenness of the attack, but now the situation is different, and we should continue to send envoys to Bataana, and let the Silk Kingdom be aware of our close ties with them. ”
"In this way, Wang Hanxin has to take precautions." Abiciel nodded yes.
Temeng smiled politely and said: "That's right, no matter whether the 80,000 horses led by Badana will attack or not, at least Wang Hanxin will have doubts about it, and corresponding countermeasures need to be taken, so Wang Hanxin's forces will become scattered." Second, our army's sortie this time should pour out of the nest and move south from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, so as to form a local absolute superiority. ”
"Is it all the rest of the city that is empty?" Abiciel asked, confused.
"Not bad. Judging from the battle of Sand Lake City, almost all of the troops of the Silk Country were infantry, and even the troops protecting their grain routes were difficult to find traces of cavalry. This should indicate that there is a shortage of cavalry in the Silk Country, and even if there is, there are not enough of them to pose a threat to me. If there were no cavalry, it would be easy to do, and it is almost certain that the Silk Country would not be able to attack our Dragon City for a long time with infantry alone. Because the speed of the infantry was too slow, and the transport of food was too difficult, and the number of infantry was too small to cope with the attack of our Turbid cavalry. Moreover, the battle of Shahu City also consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources of the Silk Country, if they still had the strength to spare, they would not have retreated after the completion of the construction of the city, they could take this opportunity to build a few more cities to completely block my road from the south of the Tianshan Mountains to the Western Regions. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Silk Country is no longer able to organize a large-scale offensive operation in a short period of time. In this case, if the opponent's small-scale attack encounters our completely empty city, then they are unable to fight and frightened, how can they penetrate deep into our rear? Not to mention threatening the safety of Dragon City. Then again, if our army launched an attack on the Western Regions with all its might, then the Bataan Territory would naturally know the news, but they may not know that our army is only going from this way, and if they mistakenly believe that our army is still sending troops from two routes, then they will inevitably reestimate the military strength of our Tuqi. If we create an absolute advantage of Mount Tai, then what he wants is to cooperate with us to get a piece of the pie. ”
"Well, even if you don't deceive them, it's nothing more than that, but if you deceive them, then you can form a situation of joint attack."
"Thirdly, another advantage of the outpouring is that all the strong men of these tribes are recruited to fight, so that these chiefs, even if they have any thoughts, are already far away from their sphere of influence, and are in the army of the Great Khan, which is much better than scattering them all over the place."
"Not bad! As long as this battle is successful, these people will not dare to have him anymore! Abicil muttered.
Timon paused for a moment before he said, "This is just my preliminary plan, and there is still room for correction on how to implement it." More important than this is that the time for the reform of the Sudden Covenant has reached an imminent moment. Although the time is not yet ripe, the strength of the tribes has been weakened considerably, and their opposition has weakened. If they can take advantage of the momentum to implement a new policy after this victory, it will be difficult for them to raise objections. If it is to be successful, the Great Khan needs to plan ahead. ”
Abicialir himself poured a glass of wine and handed it to Timon: "I am pleased with your loyalty to Turgie, and we will have to discuss this matter carefully." Please drink this glass of wine, and thank you for your hard work on this mission, and I will gather everyone to reward you in public in the coming day! ”
"Thank you, Great Khan!" Timon took the wine and drank it down.
"Until then, you'd better pay a visit to your brother Heza. This time, he went deep into the enemy line and was wounded, quite seriously. ”
Timon was taken aback and said, "Then I must go immediately!" Please leave it at that! ”
With that, he ran out of the king's tent and went straight to the camp of Hesa.
At this time, Hesa was pacing in the tent with the support of the slave girl, and Timon rushed in and scared the slave girl into screaming, and Hasa almost fell because of it.
"Brother, are you trying to scare anyone to death?" Hesa said this, but his face was full of smiles.
After reading the sa several times, he sat down on the felt as if relieved and said, "Your father Khan said that you were seriously injured and scared me to death. Looks like you're pretty good, at least you don't lack anything. ”
Hesa gritted his teeth and said: "Look at what you said, this time I suffered a big loss from Liu Xianzhi." Especially on the way back, I suffered a great sin, and my wound was torn several times. I really didn't expect this Liu Xianzhi to be so powerful, even my father Khan couldn't help him. ”
"Yes, a Wang Hanxin, a Liu Xianzhi, a Bai Basbar in the west, and Dadaran I met this time, none of them are good stubble, our Great Khan is really full of strong enemies." (To be continued.) )
