Qin Meng was extremely excited, and both hands firmly grasped one of Ding Liang's hands: "Brother, you are still reliable, thank you very much, your eldest brother is not for nothing, it's really awesome. Two hundred is enough. Two hundred, I’m in a hurry, so I’ll order it for my little brother. I’ll take it away. You don’t think my little brother is rude, do you?”
Impolite shit! When Ding Liang looked at Qin Meng's expression, he knew that he had been pitted. The other party probably expected two hundred war horses and three hundred horses. In fact, there was room for bargaining!
Fortunately, I just felt that I was a bit guilty for cutting down fifty war horses.
It's so special, it's not enough to have your eyes hidden in your hair when dealing with Qin Meng!
However, Ding Liang couldn't help it. But the horse is hard to chase!
Watching Qin Meng let his subordinates borrow the war horse away, Ding Liang's heart was dripping blood.
There is nothing to say about Qin Meng's credibility. However, when dealing with this guy, you always feel that you have to keep your eyes half open when you sleep. Who knows what accidents will happen
Ding Liang wanted to exhort Qin Meng in particular. Let's not do things that cause moths, okay? But when he was sent away, Ding Liang couldn't open his mouth after all.
Qin Meng returned to Wuwei with his war horse, it was already seven days later.
Yang Guang has formulated the detailed combat plan and handed it over to Qin Meng for discussion.
In Yang Guang's plan, a total of 1,000 troops were invested.
Among them, 800 are combat troops responsible for attacks, and 200 are troops responsible for logistics supplies.
Combat tactics and formations are not the most difficult.
The biggest obstacle that this team needs to overcome for a long-distance attack is the carrying of ordnance and food supplies.
At present, plus the two hundred war horses borrowed by Qin Meng, the number of war horses he owns is just over 1,500.
These war horses. It is also necessary to reserve a hundred horses for the left-behind troops to prepare for emergencies.
In this way, there are 1,400 horses invested in the deployment of long-range wars.
Eight hundred main warriors, each riding a war horse, carry a small amount of ordnance, and the two hundred people responsible for logistics support, one person is responsible for three war horses, riding one by himself, and managing the other two carrying the crossbow box. Such ordnance, as well as food and supplies.
After the basic configuration of personnel and materials is determined, it is necessary to ensure the safety and speed of advancement of the entire team.
Yang Guang intends to use two hundred soldiers as the vanguard, carrying a lot of maps, and fanning out scouts northward, using one hundred li as the detection limit to ensure that the entire team's frontal enemy detection is effective.
The remaining 600 main combat fighters are divided into three parts, two are arranged on the left and right wings of the transportation team, and the other is supported as a mobile one, ready to deal with possible accidents.
On the marching route, Yang Guang advised Qin Meng not to take a straight line, but to take some detours based on the edges of the mountains and rivers that appeared along the way.
In this way, although the marching route is a bit far away, it can increase the concealment of the overall team, and can quickly rely on the terrain to start the battle when encountering unexpected enemy conditions.
Qin Meng was very satisfied with Yang Guang's plan.
But this does not mean that Qin Meng must implement this plan completely. He found Tuduo and asked in detail according to the map's marching route. Even if there is a little doubt, it must be confirmed repeatedly before it can be approved.
After perfecting the plan, Qin Meng and Yang Guang had a disagreement in determining the officers to be with the army.
Yang Guang believes that new forces like Da Xi Hao Dou and Lu Yuan should be used boldly, while Qin Meng insists on using experienced battlefield officers like Zhou Lie and Weida.
This time, Qin Meng did not suppress Yang Guang because he was the chief official, forcibly pushing his own propositions. Instead, he explained to Yang Guang patiently. Long-distance raids are meant to be a dangerous move by soldiers, and there will be many accidents.
At this time, front-line commanders at the grassroots level are more suitable for their experience and experience than those from a family who have only seen big scenes and have a rich family background.
Yang Guang was not persuaded, but he still respected Qin Meng's opinions.
Qin Meng was also quite embarrassed in choosing candidates to stay in Wuwei.
Emotionally speaking, Qin Meng especially wanted to bring Xie Yun with him.
Xie Yun is not very ruthless, proficient in various array tactics, and is an absolutely loyal subordinate.
Take it with you, no matter what the accident, as long as a command, you can sit back and relax.
However, Wuwei also needs a person who is absolutely worthy of entrustment and who can hold the ground.
After thinking about it, Qin Meng left Xie Yun and assigned him Wei Liang, his deputy, and the rest of the officers. All follow the far-reaching flying knights and set off on a selection day.
Pioneer 200 led Yang Guang and Zhou Lie, Yang Guang was in charge of investigation, and Zhou Lie was in charge of commanding the entire vanguard.
Two hundred left wing, led the team for Weida, to protect the left wing safety of the baggage.
Two hundred on the right wing, led by Da Xi Hao Dou Lu Yuan, Dou Lu Yuan as the chief officer and Da Xi Hao as his deputy, to protect the safety of the right wing.
Qin Meng led two hundred as the last one, and after entrusting him to the guerrilla tribe, he coordinated and supported all the other departments.
One thousand people, four hundred horses, along the northeast direction of Wuwei, all the way to the direction of the Great Wall left by the Han Dynasty.
This is the first signpost on the marching route. The whole team, using this marker as a reference point, went to a position of 200 li westward, diagonally inserted in a mountain pass west of the Han Great Wall. That is, the intersection where Turkic people often go south, out of the Wuwei realm.
The area more than two hundred miles north of the mountain pass is the most complicated area in the entire marching route, but the safety factor is relatively high.
It took three days for Qin Meng and his entourage to cross this area and go further, but there are fewer mountains and rivers, and the edge of the grassland is full of tall grass.
Qin Meng immediately increased his vigilance, not only receiving the report from forward Yang Guang, but also releasing the soldiers around him to inquire about the surrounding situation at any time.
On the sixth day, a warning came from the forward department, saying that a small Turkic was found in the front.
Qin Meng is most worried about this situation. The appearance of a small number of Turkic people is not a safety hazard for Feiqi, but once a battle occurs, Feiqi will be exposed, and the plan of the attack will almost end without disease.
Fortunately, scouts were sent to investigate for a hundred miles, otherwise, if they really bumped into it, the whole plan would be ruined.
Qin Meng restrained the team and ran to the forward team to understand the situation.
"What's the matter? Didn't it mean that there will be no Turkic tribes here?" Qin Meng asked Tuduo in a deep voice.
Tuduo grinned and said: "General, although it is Caosheng here, there is no obvious water source around. Therefore, Turkic tribes will not come here to graze their animals. I guess, the tribe we encountered may have something happened here. It happened by accident. They should be gone soon."
Qin Meng frowned. Even if Tuduo's guess was true, he couldn't treat the situation negatively.
Zhou Lie said to the side: "General, our goal is too big to go around, so we can simply destroy this tribe. Just kill it directly."
Qin Meng shook his head almost without hesitation: "No. Although our ministry can ensure that the small Turks will be wiped out, the wind of killing cannot be opened. What we want to fight is those who offend the Great Sui Guowei and kill indiscriminately. It can increase hatred, which is contrary to the fundamentals of Sheng Shang's strategy of pacifying the Turks."
Zhou Lie licked his lips and said, "Yes, but we can't just wait here, right?"
Qin Meng raised his hand. Signaled everyone to be quiet, and thought for a moment: "Tudu, can I tell who the Turkic tribe is in front of you? How many people are there?"
Tuduo said: "Returning to the general, at present, only the scouts come back to report, saying that there can be hundreds of people, and the humble duty has not passed. I don't know."
Qin Meng thought for a long time and said: "In this way, we will meet these Turkic people together, aren't we screaming at the Moer Department? It is also good to call one or two helpers."
Everyone felt incredible. Did Qin Meng want to subdue those Turkic people? But can people listen to you? In the end, I am afraid I still have to fight.
Once you fight, you can't control it precisely.
Qin Meng expressed his thoughts, arranged for the coordinated actions of the various ministries, and then took twenty soldiers, changed into Turkic costumes, and brought some short weapons to let Tuduo lead the way and swagger toward the abruptly appearing Turkic children. Ministry, rushed over.
There were several Turkic people walking around on horseback. Seeing Qin Meng's twenty riders appeared, they were only slightly surprised and did not overreact. After all, although it is on the edge of the grassland, there is no Central Plains armed forces present here.
Turkic costumes worn by Qin Meng and his party. It made them relax a lot of vigilance.
Tuduo was at the forefront of the team. According to Qin Meng's explanation, he shouted in Turkic language: "Hey, which part are you from? We are Apo Khan's subordinates. We bought a lot of good things in Wuwei, but the food is not on the road. Caution is lost, can you give us some food?"
Those few Turkic people, after listening to Tudor's words, their only vigilance disappeared completely.
"You can change food, but what do you want to change?" a Turkic man asked Tudor.
Tuduo took out the dagger from his body and threw it to the Turkic man who was talking: "This is a weapon made by an advanced craftsman from Da Sui. We have changed a lot. Now because of the loss of food. I can't help it, so I exchanged it with you. Yes. Take a look, this thing is very valuable."
The Turkic man received his hand and tried it lightly, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
This dagger is also an object carefully crafted by the blacksmith team. The texture and sharpness are not the best short soldiers that ordinary Turkic people can encounter.
The dagger was passed back and forth in the hands of several Turkic people. When he returned to the person who was speaking, he took the dagger and said to Tudu: "How are you going to exchange it?"
Tuduo pointed to Qin Meng and said, "This is our boss. He wants to exchange more things. It is better to have something like milk, skin and meat. By the way, which part do you belong to? It is best to have seen Your leader, it's easy to trade."
The man talked with the people around him, and then said to Tudor: "We are the cadres of Dahan, and the leader is in the tent. Wait for me to report and let the leader decide."
Tuduo looked at Qin Meng out of the corner of his eyes, and saw Qin Meng shook his head slightly, and said, "Let’s go together. People on the prairie won’t be the same as those from the Central Plains, right? We are just like this. Do so many of you pose a threat?" (End of this chapter)
