In April of the sixth year of the Emperor Kaihuang, Qin Meng and Yang Guang jointly reported the detailed establishment of the flying horse. It has been more than a month since they reported to Yang Lin, but Yang Lin, who was close at hand, never gave any reply to the two of them.
Seeing that it was the season when the border trade began again, Qin Meng asked Yang Guang to master flying training, and he also organized Guan Xiang Li Ying to make work arrangements for the new year.
In early May, Yang Lin secretly called Qin Meng and Yang Guang to the private residence.
Yang Lin stepped back and left, did not meet according to the rules of superiors and superiors, and seemed to be discussing matters with colleagues at the same level. The three of them sat around a table.
Although Yang Lin acted very casually, Qin Meng and Yang Guang clearly felt that the invisible pressure made both of them feel a little dull.
Yang Lin didn't speak, and pushed a letter covered with lacquer in front of Qin Meng and the two of them.
Qin Meng glanced at him, and his body trembled. The official lacquered document, according to the standards of later generations, was equivalent to a top-secret document. The most visually striking thing was the lacquered pattern, which was the dragon pattern. In other words, this is a letter from the emperor directly to Yang Lin, and its importance is no less than that of the imperial edict.
"Master Supervisor, you, are you letting the admiral look at it?" Qin Meng cautiously asked for confirmation.
Yang Lin sighed, his brows were furrowed together, and he still had no words. Just nodded.
Qin Meng didn't dare to make any trouble, got up and worshiped a few times before opening the lacquered document respectfully.
This is a personal letter written by Yang Jian to Yang Lin, to the effect that Nan Chen has been decayed to the extreme, his armaments are slack, and the people have no return. It is a good time to cross the river and sweep the river left.
If you can't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once Nan Chen re-emerges Mingzhu, gathers the hearts of the people, and reorganizes the military, it will be impossible for Jiangnan.
If you want to map the river to the left, you must dispatch soldiers from the north. However, how many troops can be dispatched in the north, the tranquility of the north must be the first consideration.
Between the lines of Yang Jian's words, there was a tone of inquiry and discussion, but Qin Meng could feel that Yang Jian was a little anxious about it. Even, there is a taste of urging.
Qin Meng did not speak either, and handed the letter to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang finished reading, put the envelope in front of Yang Lin respectfully, and did not speak. The three of them were a little weird and silent, as if they were sitting in a quiet game.
For a long time, Yang Lin said, "Qin Meng and Yang Guang, let you see the meaning of the saint directly, not to make you dumb, but to ask your opinions. If you have any thoughts, don't hesitate to listen to that is the matter of the supervising army. Could it be that you are afraid of being guilty of words?"
Qin Meng hurriedly said: "Supervisor, how can you know that the speaker is not guilty in front of you? It's just a few thoughts, but I haven't thoroughly thought it through."
"But it doesn't matter, maybe, this supervising army can help you think through it."
"Master Jianjun, the art of war, you can't rely on the enemy to come, and you have to wait. The emperor of the emperor of the sage Ming, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has inherited the fate of the fate, the Sui Dynasty is prosperous, and the Turks are declining. The conclusion is the second year of the Rakhine Emperor. For three years, the Turks and the traitors from the Northern Zhou Dynasty made hundreds of thousands of troops to commit crimes, and they were gone. Last year, although the Turks took pictures of Ashin, they hunted down Daluobi (Apo Khan), explaining their internal contradictions. It is very fierce. Therefore, the final judge will conclude that even if the Turkic people commit crimes, they are only tens of thousands. That Ashina photo, can not be entangled with more than 100,000 troops, let alone other tribes? Therefore, you only need to leave enough troops in the north to defend the important joints, supplemented by flying knights in series, and there may be side problems, but this is not a problem."
Yang Lin listened, nodded slightly, without a word, turned his eyes to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang arched his hands and said, "Master Supervisor, General Qin finally agrees with General Qin's opinion, so he thinks so."
"Feiqi combat power. You two build and train with one hand, can you be a series of important tasks?"
Qin Meng felt a pressure. He was very confident in the combat effectiveness of Feiqi. However, the vast border of the northern part of the Great Sui Dynasty, let alone Feiqi, is a tank of later generations. It is also very difficult to cover everything. what.
"Master Supervisor, with 10,000 flying knights to cover the entire northern territory, it is not realistic. Only based on deterrence, take the initiative to attack, harass the enemy, make the frontiers afraid and only want to protect themselves, can we ensure that there is no great northern territory. War."
"Proactively attack, active attack..." Yang Lin sighed long, tilted his neck, as if to look at the sky through the roof.
"Supervisor, you must have already reported the thoughts of the final general to the sage. The final general does not dare to speculate about the holy will, but there are some things that can't be asked. But, but... There is a lot of controversy in the court?"
Yang Lin nodded: "There were fierce opposition in the court, and they took the initiative to attack. It would have a great harm to the national policy of dividing the Turks. If it is attacked, the Turks will be an inevitable alliance for self-preservation. If it is not attacked, it can be divided and ruled."
Qin Meng pondered for a while and said, "Master Jianjun, this is what it says about soldiers. The Turkic civil strife began with natural disasters. It lacks resources and does not maintain political virtues. How is it different from man-made disasters after natural disasters? In the Sui Dynasty, the princess's deceitful power was inherent, but why not plundering land for survival? Nowadays, all the Turkic tribes are afraid of the Sui's fighting power, and they will finally think that unless the Sui does not give the Turks a half way out. The Alliance will fight against the Great Sui. And I, the son of the Great Sui Sheng Ming, have benevolence and virtue to meet the Turks and regard them as people. The Turks are awe-inspiring but do not know the virtues, but thinking of the Great Sui’s sages and their strength, their heart must not be Consistent too."
Yang Lin spread his arms on the table, his eyes in the eyes. He showed an erratic look.
After a long while, Yang Lin said, "In September this year, can we withdraw most of the military from the northern border, leaving only 200,000 to guard the northern border?"
Qin Meng and Yang Guang were stunned, but he didn't expect that Yang Lin actually asked about the intention of the large corps to mobilize the country.
Suddenly, Qin Meng realized that this might not be an inquiry, but the court had already put this matter on the agenda.
Perhaps it is already a certain fact that most of the army will be transferred south, but whether Yang Lin or Yang Jian is good for the peace of the North. There are still big concerns.
"Master Supervisor, General Forgive me for being arrogant." Qin Meng is now more familiar with the personality of the old man Yang Lin. If he has something to say, he has a hot temper, but his heart is very broad.
Regarding the northern boundary of the Great Sui Dynasty, Qin Meng often discussed with Yang Guang, nor did he think about this issue.
Since Yang Lin has authorized you to form a flying cavalry and spare no effort to support it, it is for you to take the responsibility in this regard. Therefore, Qin Meng's thoughts are also due to his responsibility.
Qin Meng's expectation is that the fight is certain, but it is not a purely military offensive, but to respond to Chang Sun Sheng's mission and form a linkage mechanism to achieve the best results.
Here in Wuwei, border trade has become the norm. From the perspective of the amount of transactions and the personnel involved in the transactions, this place is an important distribution center for maintaining friendly commerce with other ethnic groups in the north, the Central Plains and the west and north.
thus. Here in Wuwei, large-scale expansion can be carried out, and at the same time, the army of Jinning and Yanchuan will be allocated 50,000 yuan to be stationed here.
At present, Luo Fang has three hundred Mo Swordsmen in his hand, mobilized here to cooperate with the fifty thousand army. Supplemented by the construction of city defense, it is not a problem to control one hundred thousand enemies.
In Dunhuang, one can station 50,000 troops, the first line of Youzhou, and 100,000 troops. According to the traffic, they will move eastward, cruising between Dunhuang's Youzhou. Once there is an enemy's situation, rushing to help and defeat the enemy can be done quickly, quickly and effectively.
Qin Meng’s latest idea is that Feiqi can’t be confined to the Great Wall, but must bravely walk into the grassland and patrol the grassland with tribes that are friendly to the Sui Dynasty. In this way, any disturbances in the Turks can be known sooner rather than later. Things are coming, in a rush.
Yang Lin nodded frequently, but his brows were never relaxed.
"Qin Meng, this supervising army understands what you mean. Flying into the grassland can deter the opponent to a greater extent and obtain the latest information. However, with such a toss, the cost is set aside, how can supplies be supplied? "
"Master Supervisor, the final commander has already thought about it. There are ten thousand flying horses, which can be divided into ten teams, each with one thousand, led by capable officers. Every time you enter the grassland, two teams enter, one team patrols, and one team is responsible. Be warned, except for soldiers riding war horses, supplemented by one thousand war horses, and going out for a month, it’s not a problem."
Yang Lin's brows eased slightly. With both eyes fixed, Qin Meng said, "The Turks are by nature alert and deceitful. When meeting an outsider, they can start fighting with only a word. The flying cavalry strength is there. The supervising army is not worried about the loss of the headquarters, but there are always conflicts when entering the grassland. Isn’t it conflicting with the sage’s policy of Huairou?"
Qin Meng smiled and said: "It's okay, isn't Mrs. Changsun going to Turkic? Let Mrs. Changsun know that he will know the Da Sui tribe and the Da Sui army will condole his troops. With this excuse, flying into the grassland is justified. When the time comes, when you enter the grassland, no matter where you go, you can prevaricate the past under the pretext of being unfamiliar with geography."
Yang Lin folded his arms around his chest. Turning his head to the side, thinking for a long time, suddenly pointed to Yang Guang.
"You sort out all the ideas Qin Meng said just now, and write a memo."
Yang Guang quickly agreed, found paper and pen, listed Qin Meng's ideas as entries, and wrote them one by one.
Yang Lin took a look, and asked for a pen to write on the memorial note that this was discussed by Qin Meng, the flying cavalry general at the border, thinking about Zhou Yuan, practical and feasible, and playing the holy judge. Below this sentence, Yang Lin signed his name.
"Come on, you also sign your name." Yang Lin handed the pen to Qin Meng.
Qin Meng felt extremely grateful, and Yang Lin would never be greedy for his own merits. As long as his subordinates have good ideas, they must be vigorously supported.
This is the performance of Michen Sheng, Yang Jian must attach great importance to such performance. If you can include your name, you are already reporting to Yang Jian. Now, you still have to sign, you can imagine how graceful this is.
"Master Supervisor, this, isn't it good? The final general is no more than a partial general. Sign the name for fear of insulting the Holy Eye."
"Huh, would you let him sign your army as a personal superintendent? What name do you want to see? The holy eye is like a torch, and the talented person should be known by the sage. Yang Guang, you Sign the name as well, huh, don’t think that this is a great thing. If something goes wrong, you can’t get away with a signed name!” (End of this chapter)
