The dull atmosphere was relieved a little until Ling Tianfang and several division commanders hurriedly arrived with combat readiness director Rao. Seeing that Wu Feng and Linghu Yi and Diao Su were both present, and their faces were gloomy, Ling Tianfang didn't need to think about it. I knew something must have gone wrong, and it was probably a war issue that was being actively prepared.
After listening to Linghu Yi's introduction, Ling Tianfang also fell silent. He didn't agree with Wu Feng's plan. In his opinion, with the Mote people as a barrier, it was possible for the Luo Bei people to stab him in the back. The sex has become much smaller, and we can see that the economy of Luobi and Northwest China is getting closer and closer. As long as we continue to strengthen the penetration and integration of economy and business, and the subtle evolution of these subtle aspects of culture and art, it will not take many years for Luobo to The humble person will be completely transformed into the Tang Dynasty and become a member of the big family of the Tang nation.
But Wu Feng doesn't think so. He believes that the Luobei people will not easily succumb to the Northwest before they lose the strength to compete with the Northwest. Only if they do not have the strength to compete with the Northwest, and are likely to face Under the pressure of the Chidi people to conquer, the Northwest gave them a cover to hide their shame, supplemented by economic and cultural penetration control, so that they could truly control this hummer in their own hands. If we can only rely on economic and cultural auxiliary strategies to conquer the Luobi people, it cannot be said to be unrealistic. This is not possible within at least ten years. This is not in line with Wu Feng's long-term plan. In Wu Feng's plan, The Luobei people will be as important a weight in their hands as the Gaoyue people. Of course, the premise is that the Luobei people can only be said to have been completely surrendered.
At Wu Feng's insistence, Ling Tianfang finally agreed to Wu Feng's plan to join forces with the Chidi people to deal with the Luo Bei people. However, Wu Feng also admitted that Ling Tianfang's concerns were reasonable, that is, the Luo Bei people were not suitable for large-scale operations at the moment. If their strength is greatly weakened, an excessively weak Luobi people will inevitably be unable to contain or resist the Chidi people's ambition to dominate the Tengger Grassland. This is also not in the interest of the northwest. Wufeng does not want to drive away wolves at the front door and welcome tigers at the back door. The outcome that Feng most hopes to see is that the Luobi people have to rely on the power of the northwest to suppress the aggressive momentum of the Chidi people. Only in this way can the alliance between the two sides be closer, unlike the current situation where you are guarding me and I am staring at you in name only. Your empty frame. In Ling Tianfang's plan, it was also specifically determined that the purpose of the war against the Luobi people was not to completely defeat the Luobi people, but to weaken them to a certain extent in order to consolidate the northwest's strong position in the East Tengger Grassland. .
But now, the situation has changed. The Luobi people have noticed the conspiracy of Northwest and Chidi, and are prepared for Besang's conquest of the east. So how to fight this battle? How can we ensure that the original purpose is achieved
"Tian Fang, don't just sit there and say nothing. Tell us your opinions." Wu Feng was a little worried that Ling Tianfang would repeat the same old tune and shake the morale of the army, but he still firmly believed that Ling Tianfang should have this vision. Things have come to this. One step, I'm afraid I can only bite the bullet and move forward.
"My lord, there is no turning back when you draw your bow. The matter has come to this point. I'm afraid there is no way out. And as you said, my lord, this battle is too necessary. If we can't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be hard to find again in the future." Come on." Ling Tianfang's expression remained unchanged, his tone was full of strong incitement, and he said viciously: "The Chidi people have probably conspired with the An'ou people, and we will give the Tubu and Qiur people some protection before starting another war. The note asked them to remain neutral and decide the country with one arrow. As long as we win this battle, the Tengger Grassland will be our hunting ground."
Those words made the blood of everyone present surge with excitement. Even Wu Feng was aroused by Ling Tianfang's extremely provocative words and wanted to fight immediately.
"But, sir, the Luobi people are prepared, and Besang is also a wily guy. Once the eastern expedition is fully mobilized, they will immediately have more than 200,000 cavalry. They have the right location and people, ready to work, but we have to trek for several days. Hundreds of miles deep into the prairie, how should we fight this battle? Do the original routes and plans for sending troops need to be readjusted? How sure are we of this battle?" A few dry words were like a basin of ice water. The excited people were chilled from head to toe, and their heated minds gradually calmed down.
Long Zizi was probably the calmest person in the room. He was an old soldier who was born in Germany. His long-term experience in the northwest and his understanding of the Luobei cavalry made him dare not take it lightly. Although Ling Tianfang's words were encouraging, there were many contradictions in them, which could not be avoided. Without surprise, Long Ziqing was not at all optimistic about how to deal with Luo Bei's cavalry, which was well prepared.
Wu Feng nodded slightly. He was also thinking about this problem. If he didn't untie this knot, he was afraid that everyone would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Of course Ling Tianfang said that to cheer everyone up and himself. As the coach, if he couldn't If we face this problem squarely, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
"You said it yourself, it can be regarded as pouring cold water on us to wake up. I was thinking about this issue when Lord asked me how to deal with it just now. Bessan is an old and prudent man, and his letters are probably still there. Lying on Wadeya's desk, the mobilization of all-out war is a big deal for the Luobi people. Without Wadeya's formal approval, I am afraid that the commanders of various ministries would not dare to issue this order at will. Besan is as far away from Barona as The coach of Zhengdong, who is the furthest in the city, understands this even more, and he will not violate this taboo. Now that our intelligence agency has obtained this information first, we will also benefit the invincible position." Ling Tianfang has already known this. As expected, he was not a random person. When he was boosting morale, he was already thinking about how to turn passivity into initiative.
"After our intelligence personnel obtained the information, they should have sent a letter back in the form of snow pigeons. At this time, the Luobi people were probably still discussing Besang's request. Let's assume that the Luobi people can successfully agree to Besang's suggestion. It should take about three days to get the notification of consent from Barona to Besan. Generally, it takes two to three days for Luobi ministries to complete preliminary war mobilization, and more than fifteen days to complete full-scale war mobilization. Their logistics The preparation speed should be faster than ours. We still have about eighteen days. We might as well improve Besang's work efficiency and set it at about fifteen days. As long as we can prepare for the war and launch the attack within a week, I believe that even if Besang is geographically favorable, it will be difficult for us to deal with our sudden attack." Ling Tian was talking eloquently, his expression filled with full confidence. He was obviously fully prepared and able to make tactical ideas in a short time, which is worthy of his reputation. As the chief staff officer of the Northwest Army, his composure made even the arrogant Linghu Yi have to admit that the black-faced guy in front of him was indeed not a person who deserved his reputation.
He never hesitated to show his admiration. Wu Feng nodded and immediately asked: "The three divisions of the First Army and the Guards Division have been assembled. The four divisions of the Second Army are still in Gaochang. The newly formed Counting the Tengger Third Light Cavalry Division, the Tengger Army still has three divisions. The heavy cavalry division will not be included in the battle order this time. Their training has just begun. We have a total of eleven divisions available. , Tian Fang thinks our current military strength is enough?"
"Sir, if the Luobi people complete the mobilization for a full-scale war in the east, their strength will reach more than 250,000. In addition, they can all be cavalry. Their mobile running and raiding capabilities are far stronger than ours. On the East Tengger Grassland, A flat plain with no large rivers to block it is more suitable for their fighting style. If this is the case, we don’t have much chance of winning. If we can launch an attack before they complete their mobilization, we are still quite sure. But we still have to think about it. Regarding the movement of the Southern Expedition, although Ule is a reckless man, he is also a veteran of many battles. Will he make a sneak attack on the Western Region when we are fighting against the Eastern Expedition? I think we need to arrange it carefully. We might as well ask someone from the foreign affairs department. People also intervene. The Chidi people can win over the An'ou people. Compared with the Hyderabad people, they can also be used by us. We don't need them to fight head-on. We can do it by just putting on a show, right? After all, they are still our allies." Ling Tian Fang had a slight smile on his face, he had thought very carefully.
"Well, the issue of conquering the south is indeed worthy of attention. Don't let us fight fiercely here, but the Luobi people counterattack and hit us by surprise. The tens of thousands of people in the Western Region United Army and the Mote people are all caught off guard. We need to carry out combat readiness mobilization immediately and include them in the battle order, so that they can be responsible for containing and responding to the problem of conquering the south." Wu Feng then turned his attention to the director of combat readiness: "Rao, I will give you one week, and within one week you will All logistical material preparations must be completed for me!”
Rao hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Of course he knew that his boss was not summoning him to discuss with him today. Fortunately, he had always had the habit of preparing in advance. Although time was tight, if he carefully planned a happy birthday from now on, it would be better. It's not impossible to accomplish.
"Everyone can understand the significance of the battle against the Luobi people. I also warn everyone that although the Luobi people were defeated by us twice, it does not mean that they are weaker than us. On the contrary, in terms of strength, they are just conquerors. The joint efforts between the Eastern and Southern Zhengdong are far stronger than ours! Now we are in a favorable situation. The Chidi people cannot tolerate the strength of the Luobi people. With the Chidi people on the western front to relieve us of the pressure, our situation will be better. Many, this is a rare opportunity. Our purpose is to defeat the eastern part of Zheng. If the time is right, we can also severely damage the southern part of Zheng, so that the Luobi people will no longer have a glimpse of our strength in the rear." Wu Feng looked at the spirits of the people below. The excited subordinates said with expectation: "As long as we complete this victory, we can truly and boldly shout to the east, 'We are back!'"
