Episode 10 Chapter 363

Chapter 363: The Military Government Hall is located in an independent courtyard within the palace. The interior is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. The front courtyard is where the staff of the Military Government Hall work, the atrium is where meetings are held, and the residence and Canteen. &&

Tang Yin led Qiu Zhen and others to the vestibule and entered the room. It was extremely busy inside, with dozens of people performing their duties. Some were whispering to each other about military affairs, while others were sketching maps, writing Wen'an, and... Some people were passing official documents in and out.

Seeing Tang Yin walking in, everyone in the military government hall immediately put down what they were doing, bowed their hands respectfully, and said in unison: "Welcome ministers to meet you, your Majesty!"

Tang Yin waved his hands to everyone, indicating that they would not be polite, and then asked: "Where is Mr. Gu?"

"Wei Chen is here!" With a cautious response, a middle-aged man ran out from the back room quickly. He looked like he was in his early forties, with a medium build, a white face and a black beard, and looked like an academic who had read a lot of poetry. This person's name is Gu Yuan, and he is currently the general counselor of the Military Government Hall, which is also the person in charge of the Military Government Hall.

Gu Yuan was born in Fengguo Military Academy. Before joining the military academy, he had been affiliated with the direct army and served as a military counselor. Later, when Fengguo established a military academy, he took the initiative to ask Wuying to withdraw from the army and apply to enter the military academy.

At that time and even now, people who have become counselors rarely choose to retire from the army and further their studies. After all, after graduating from the military academy, if they are assigned to the army or work as counselors, the result will be the same, but they will waste several years in vain.

For a country like Feng Country that has been at war for years, wasting a few years is equivalent to wasting countless opportunities to advance, so no one would be stupid enough to do this, and Gu Yuan was undoubtedly an anomaly.

Of course, his choice was undoubtedly the right one. While in the army, he already had rich practical experience. While at the military academy, he systematically acquired various military concepts. The combination of theory and practice was achieved in him. The most perfect embodiment, and precisely because of this, Tang Yin chose him among many talents and asked him to serve as the general counselor of the Military Government Hall.

At present, Junzhengtang still belongs to a new organization, and his military rank as the general counselor of Junzhengtang is not high. But soon after, when Junzhengtang became the general planning place for various military operations of the Feng Army, Gu Yuan also rose with the tide and became One of the most central figures in Fengfang.

Tang Yin nodded towards Gu Yuan and said, "Master Gu, show the military government hall's battle plan to the left prime minister and the generals."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Gu Yuan bowed and saluted, and said sideways: "Your Majesty and the generals please speak to the inner chamber!"

Following Gu Yuan into the back room, everyone looked up and saw that this was said to be the back room, but the area was no smaller than the outside, but the range of activities was pitifully small, mainly because the center of the room was occupied by two long tables.

These two tables are placed with finely crafted models, including mountains, water, woods, and lifelike cities. After everyone looked at it, they all praised in their hearts: What a beautiful sand table! Most of them had participated in the First Battle of Feng Mo. They could immediately tell at a glance at the sand table that one of them was Surabaya County of Mo State and the other was Zeping County of Mo State.

Without looking at the battle plan of the Military Government Hall, just by looking at the two sand tables, everyone already understood that the main focus of the second use of troops against Mo was still in Surabaya and Zeping counties.

Soon, Gu Yuan took out the plan drawn up by the Military Government Hall and showed it to everyone. The content inside was the Feng Army's preliminary plan for the war against Mo.

Although there are sand tables from Surabaya and Zeping counties in the inner room, Surabaya was not touched on in the plan. The main focus was on the Feng Army's combat operations in Zeping County.

After everyone had watched it from beginning to end, Xiao Muqing looked suspicious and asked: "According to this strategy, does our army have to give up Surabaya and only fight Mo Jun in Zeping?"

Tang Yin didn't speak, and looked at Gu Yuan silently, waiting for his answer. The question Xiao Muqing asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.

Gu Yuan nodded and said: "Now Mo State has deployed heavy troops in the two counties of Surabaya and Zeping, and they are guarded by Mo State's capable generals. If our army attacks Surabaya and Zeping at the same time, we will also have to attack Ningdi and Mo State." If there is a war, our country will become a three-front war again, and will repeat the failure of the first battle. Based on the lessons learned from that time, the Military Government suggested that either Surabaya or Zeping should be chosen. Our army should concentrate all its strength and attack one place for the first battle. It’s a decisive battle, try your best to win with one blow!”

Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment and was noncommittal. Such large-scale macro tactics and strategies were not what he, the commander of the army, was good at.

He then asked: "Even if you have to choose between Surabaya and Zeping, why choose Zeping instead of Surabaya? You know, Mr. Lu was killed in Surabaya. Our army sent troops to Surabaya, and the soldiers all had revenge. Avenging shame will definitely boost morale.”

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "General Xiao, in fact, the opinions within the Military Government Hall are not unified as to whether our army should attack Surabaya or Zeping as the first attack. In my humble opinion, Surabaya is certainly an important place in the country of Mo, and its county chief is certainly It is the chief culprit that killed Mr. Lu, but after all, it is located in the northwest of Mo Country, far away from the capital of Mo Country. Even if our army conquers Surabaya in one go, it will not pose a fatal threat to Mo Country. Zeping County is different. It is located in The center of the country of Mozambique extends in all directions from the southeast to the northwest. As long as our army occupies Zeping, it will tear apart the defense line of the country of Mozambique from the center. Not only will it be a heavy blow to the overall morale of the country of Mozambique, but it will also allow our army to occupy the entire area. By taking the initiative, by then, whether it is taking Tianyang County in the east, Sishui County in the west, or going south to Haowan County, as close as the capital of Mo State, it will be under the control of our army. This will have a great impact on our army's next steps. The battle is very beneficial!”

Xiao Muqing was not worried about whether he had to go to Surabaya, he just asked casually. After hearing Gu Yuan's explanation, he was obviously an expert in it, so he didn't say more.

Tang Yin smiled and asked everyone: "What do you generals think of the overall strategy of the Military Government Hall?"

Xiao Muqing responded: "It is reasonable and well-founded, and the general will think it is feasible."

Peng Haochu, Zuo Shuang and other generals also nodded in response: "It is indeed a good move to attack Zeping. At least, Zeping's strategic position is much more important than Surabaya."

"However, Mozambique is also guarding against our attack. It is reported that the Mozambican army has no less than 400,000 troops stationed in Zeping, which is far more than Surabaya. It will not be easy to defeat Zeping, and the battle losses will be huge." Liang Qi said with some worry.

Tanihara said: "The Military Government Hall also discussed this point and decided to use the Hundred Battle Army as the vanguard of our army to focus on the Battle of Zeping."

Everyone present looked at each other in shock, and no one said anything. The Junzhengtang decided to send hundreds of troops to attack Zeping. This may be a tactical strategy, but the more factor may be to please the king.

The Baizhan Army is an army of pure people, with 400,000 soldiers under it. Such a large-scale army of pure people will undoubtedly become a worry for the king within the Feng Army. Sending the Hundred Battle Army to attack Zeping, firstly, it can verify Zhenren's combat power, and most importantly, it can consume the Hundred Battle Army and alleviate the king's concerns about it.

This is obviously a strategy that can achieve both ends and achieve multiple goals. It seems that the people in the Military Government Hall are not giving it in vain!

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Yuan's opinion, Tang Yin nodded and said, "This is a good idea! There are 400,000 Baizhan Army, and they are the Zhenren Army. They have always been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. Let them fight the tough battle of Zeping." , couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Liang Qi secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was calm. He asked: "I wonder how the military government hall arranges the reinforcements from the rear?"

"The Pingyuan Army and the Feilong Army will form the rear army. If the Baizhan Army fails in the front battle, the Pingyuan Army and the Feilong Army can serve as reinforcements. In addition..." At this point, Gu Yuan looked at Tang Yin and whispered: "Because of Mo State's The cavalry is very powerful, and the best way for our army is to use heavy cavalry to defeat it. Therefore, in the battle of Zeping, the Ninth Army may also be used. "

Since the Ninth Legion is currently the only cavalry legion in Feng Kingdom and is very treasured in the eyes of everyone, Gu Yuan is also very cautious when sending the Ninth Legion to the battlefield.

Tang Yin smiled when he heard this and said: "The legion was established to fight, not to be put there for people to watch or to scare people. In this battle against Mo, we can only win, not lose, let alone We will not hesitate to use the Ninth Legion, even if it requires all the strength of the country!”

Gu Yuan perked up and said, "If your Majesty is determined, I can go ahead and do it."

Tang Yin said: "This time, I still want to conquer the country of Mo personally. You must remember to arrange the direct troops to enter and exit the army."

"This..." Gu Yuan did not respond. The war against Mo was not a small war. Logically speaking, such a large-scale national war is not suitable for the monarch to personally participate. If an accident occurs on the battlefield, it will The whole country is in turmoil, the whole army is in chaos, and the risk is too high.

Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Tang Yin asked: "What? Master Gu thinks that this king cannot go on an expedition?"

"No, no, no! I don't dare! It's just that I feel that the journey is far away. If the king goes there, I'm afraid it will... delay the government affairs!" Gu Yuan came from the direct army. Of course, he understood Tang Yin's character and knew that he liked to charge into battle. But it was hard to put it too bluntly, so I could only persuade him in roundabout ways.

: New Year is here! I wish you all a happy new year, good health, and all your wishes come true!
