Chapter 138: Where to Fight?
The camp of the Heavenly Wolf Army, the tent of the main general, and a huge military map were nailed to an erected wooden plank, on which the mountains and rivers were marked, as well as the sphere of influence to which the southern Baiyue Province and the Baiyue clan belonged.
On the table, there are also stacks of documents and classics, all of which are detailed about the various ethnic groups of Baiyue, including which tribes, what they are good at, and the division of Baiyue's martial arts. These were all sent by Zhao Tuo.
What Lin Ze saw was that the words Heavenly Wolf Military Camp Camp, the main general's camp tent, and a huge military map were nailed to an erected wooden board, which marked the mountains, rivers and rivers, as well as the sphere of influence to which the Baiyue Mansion and the Baiyue clan belonged.
On the table, there are also stacks of documents and classics, all of which are detailed about the various ethnic groups of Baiyue, including which tribes, what they are good at, and the division of Baiyue's martial arts. These were all sent by Zhao Tuo.
What Lin Ze saw was that what flowed between the lines was the blood of soldiers on both sides.
After Han Xin and Chen Ping had read all the information, Lin Ze asked, "The land of Baiyue is so vast, where will the Heavenly Wolf Army go on the expedition, do you two have good suggestions?"
When Han Xin first joined the Heavenly Wolf Army, he suddenly occupied a high position, so he naturally wanted to show something, saluted Hu Hai and Lin Ze, walked to the map and analyzed:
"According to the available information, Zhengnan Daying is now located in the area of Hanoi, and the threatening Baiyue tribes and demon beasts within a radius of 100 miles have been cleared, and they basically belong to the safe zone, and the Baiyue tribes have already migrated to the Vientiane area and belong to the enemy area. ”
"At present, the Baiyue tribes rely on the dangerous terrain of Oudom and Chuankuo, and the poisonous miasma monsters are used as barriers, and it is difficult for the Great Qin army to climb over, and the mountains and forests north of the mountains are holding on to our army, and the two sides have fought here countless times a year, each with its own victory and defeat. ”
"Therefore, the last general intends to march into the area from Hadi to Banwen, this section is relatively gentle, faintly in the scope of the southern army, there will be many small-scale battles, and the security is high, which is very suitable for the inexperienced new army like the Heavenly Wolf Army. ”
Chen Ping added on the side: "And in this area, it is relatively close to the camp, and the materials such as grain, grass and ordnance can also be guaranteed, and if the war is slightly unfavorable, it is also convenient for our army to withdraw to the camp." ”
The two have a surprisingly consistent point of view, that is, to be safe.
Hu Hai then turned his gaze to Lin Ze and asked, "Lin Ze, what do you think?"
Lin Ze had already communicated with Xiao Jin in his mind, scanned and analyzed all the data, and had a plan in his heart, but he didn't answer directly, but said: "Didn't the Marquis of Long Chuan say that he would arrange an experienced general to come over to assist us? Calculating the time, it should be almost up, so it's better to listen to what he has to say first." ”
Hu Hai felt that something was wrong, and said: "The situation of the Heavenly Wolf Army is still a little inconsistent with the Zhengnan Army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to listen to them, right?"
Lin Ze replied with a smile: "Of course, it's not to listen to them, but to let them introduce the situation in various places in more detail, know themselves and know each other, so that they can win all battles." ”
While talking, a soldier came to report, saying that there was a general at the gate of the camp, claiming to be ordered by the Marquis of Longchuan to come to meet his son.
Lin Ze stood up and said to Hu Hai: "When someone comes, I'll go and welcome him in." ”
Hu Hai pursed his lips and said, "Lin Ze, why do you value the people sent by Zhao Tuo so much?"
Lin Ze smiled away, and said solemnly: "Childe, after all, we are on other people's territory, and now we are weaker, a little humble, can let us have more friends, fewer enemies, and even get some support, which is beneficial to the development of the force, and when we are strong, it is not too late to be high-profile, so please keep in mind Gongzi." ”
Hu Hai's face froze, and he muttered: "I'll just talk about it casually, you go and greet it." ”
Lin Ze walked to the gate of the camp and saw a strong general standing there with two personal guards, it was the one who was called Ren Huan last night, and said with a faint smile on his face:
"In Xia Linze, my son-in-law specially sent me to greet the general, please inside. After saying that, he made a gesture of please.
Ren Huan also hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said: "The last general is ashamed, he can't afford to be greeted by the national teacher, or Lin Gongzi, you invite first." ”
Lin Ze kept smiling, but he didn't insist, he walked in front to lead the way, since people pointed out their identity as a disciple of the national teacher, they were too humble, but they seemed too hypocritical and aroused disgust.
Ren Huan entered the tent and met Hu Hai.
Lin Ze asked directly: "The Heavenly Wolf Army intends to go on an expedition in the near future, why did General Ren teach me?"
Ren Huan shook his head and said: "At this time, it is just after spring, the poisonous insects and demon beasts are spreading, the Sky Wolf Army has no experience in jungle warfare, I am afraid that it will lose a lot, the last general does not recommend that Gongzi go on the expedition now, if Gongzi can't wait, you can go to the Muzhou area first, there are only sporadic Yue people in the vicinity, and it is relatively safe." ”
Lin Ze coughed and said, "Please General Ren give a detailed introduction to the situation of the Baiyue clan, and we will refer to one or two more." ”
Ren Huan took the map and said for an hour.
After listening to this, Lin Ze pointed directly to the map: "This is it, the Heavenly Wolf Army hunts the area of the Nankang River." ”
Ren Huan hurriedly persuaded: "Please think twice, Nankang River is not a good place, the terrain is flat, there are many demon beasts, and it is also the most important hunting place for Nanzhao and Baiyue." ”
"The last general did not approve of the Heavenly Wolf Army's expedition here, first, this place is too far away from the camp, and it is difficult to supply grain, grass and ordnance, which is easy to cause a short-term shortage of food, which is not conducive to the morale of the army; ”
Lin Ze replied in an extremely affirmative tone: "Regarding grain and grass, I have a sharp weapon for the building and boat, and I have to transport it by water, basically worry-free, and my son-in-law will negotiate with the Marquis of Longchuan to ensure it as much as possible." ”
"As for security? Since it is a conquest, how can you still think of being under protection, and if you don't have the protection of a large battalion, you can't fight a war? Why did the wolf army come to southern Xinjiang that day? It is better to stay in Chang'an, and catch the thieves and bandits if you have nothing to do. ”
Seeing Lin Ze's resoluteness, Ren Huan turned to persuade and said: "That section of the Nankang River is just a place for people to hunt and live in a walled city, and the Heavenly Wolf Army may not have anything to gain when they go here." ”
Lin Ze smiled: "Has the general ever fished?" The Heavenly Wolf Army threw such a fragrant bait over, are you still afraid that Baiyue and Nanzhao will not take the bait? As for who the person who came, for Daqin, it was all the same damn. After speaking, he looked directly at Hu Hai.
Hu Hai immediately understood, and without waiting for Ren Huan to persuade again, he suddenly said: "The general just has to talk to the Marquis of Longchuan, and the rest will not bother the general, and this son has his own decision." ”
Ren Huan sighed, his face was full of helplessness, so he had to hurriedly go back to report to Zhao Tuo.
After the others left, Hu Hai asked, "Lin Ze, even Ren Huan thinks that Nankang River is dangerous, why do you insist on going?"
Lin Ze replied lightly: "Childe, first of all, we have to make it clear that we came to Southern Xinjiang to build the Heavenly Wolf Army into a real elite, not to come here to fight in a melee. ”
"In everything we do, we ultimately think about what we want in order to make the most suitable choice for ourselves, even if it is a little dangerous, but it is also an opportunity, isn't it?"
After speaking, Lin Ze turned his gaze to Han Xin: "Do you have confidence?"
Han Xin was full of confidence: "Yes." ”
Soon Ren Huan came back again, and brought back Zhao Tuo's handwritten letter: The Heavenly Wolf Army can go anywhere, and the Zhengnan Battalion will fully cooperate, and Ren Huan will be ordered to bring four worshippers and five hundred elites to accompany him to protect the safety of his son.
Hu Hai handed the letter to Lin Ze, and Lin Ze smiled toothily after reading it: "Xie Longchuan Hou strongly supports." ”
Then he ordered: "Han Xin, I ordered you to replenish the grain, grass and ordnance within one day, and the whole army will be on standby, and set off early the day after tomorrow." ”
