In front of old men like Zhou Lie, Qin Meng was not worried that they would betray him.
However, what Qin Meng had to consider is that the minds of these brothers are still a bit simpler. In case what they said involves something taboo, they don’t know the mountains and the rivers are low. It will bring disasters to them.
Consider it for a while. Qin Meng said, "Zhou Lie, you and Wei Da, after entering the territory of the Barbarian State. More scouts should be sent to inspect the horses, and all the areas within a circle of tens of miles above the marching route should be investigated. As long as there are suspicious places, You must find out that there is no threat before you can continue the march."
Both Zhou Lie and Wei Da found it difficult to understand. Qin Meng has always been known for his daring and careful use of soldiers. It was not when he was not cautious, but like this time, he was a little too cautious in any way
Qin Meng watched Zhou Lie's doubts, and patiently explained: "This time the use of troops, the Feixiao army is only the front of the vanguard, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the follow-up. If there is an omission that causes so many people to be troubled, it will It will not be a trivial matter, so you must remember my instructions."
Zhou Lie and Wei Da still felt that Qin Meng was weird in their hearts, but listened to what the old officer ordered.
Qin Meng felt that he had a lot to say. But when the words came to my lips, I still didn't say anything.
After spending some time in Dunhuang, a brigade sent by Luo Fang to take over the Dunhuang city defense came, Qin Meng led eight thousand flying troops and went straight to Youzhou.
Yu Juluo heard that Qin Meng led the pioneers to come, and hurriedly led the generals of the Youzhou Army to take Qin Meng into Youzhou City very grandly.
To greet Qin Meng, a banquet is indispensable, and the fish club toast frequently wants to liven up the atmosphere. However, it was discovered that Qin Meng had a taste of absent-mindedness, even forcing a smile.
After the banquet ended in a hurry, Yu Juluo came to Qin Meng.
"Brother Xian, at the banquet, Brother Guanxian is depressed, but is there something on his mind?" Yu Juluo sat down very close to Qin Meng and asked with great concern.
Qin Meng sighed and said, "Brother, His Royal Highness Han is in charge of the Eastern Expedition this time. Youzhou soldiers and horses, do you need to allocate some?"
Yu Juluo was taken aback for a moment, Qin Meng's answer was a bit unreasonable.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Juluo said: "It is to transfer 50,000 horses and transfer them to His Royal Highness Han. Youzhou is originally located on the edge of the barbarian state, so logically speaking. It should be based on Youzhou soldiers and horses, and then from the Great Sui. He mobilized people and horses to assist Youzhou soldiers and horses in the fight, but the saint asked His Royal Highness Han to be in command, and transferred the army from other places, with Youzhou soldiers as the auxiliary. This is hard to understand."
Speaking of this, Yu Juluo suddenly moved in his heart: "Brother virtuous. Could it be that if you are thinking, that's why?"
Qin Meng answered the wrong question again: "Brother. Did you think about the outcome of this Eastern Campaign?"
"This... Isn't it a big win? Why. Brother Xian thinks that there will be variables in this conquest?"
Qin Meng sighed: "No matter how you look at it, the Great Sui's conquest of the barbaric state is a sweeping trend. However, God's will is unpredictable, hard to say, hard to say."
Yu Juluo gave Qin Meng a blank glance: "Brother Xian, my brother is intimidating with you, but you are telling my brother that God's will is unpredictable. When did you become nagging?"
Qin Meng looked at Yu Juluo solemnly and said, "Brother, if you can trust your younger brother as a human, you can remember the kind words of your younger brother. When His Royal Highness Han arrives in Youzhou, he will be in the army for a period of time. During this time, he will ask his brother Ji Yu. Brother must remember, and don’t talk about specific strategies. The soldiers and horses assigned to His Royal Highness Han Wang will be led by Luo Yi. After flying the army as the pioneer, remember to ask Luo Yi. Everything is subject to the movements of Feixiao army, follow Feixiao The army keeps a distance of ten miles, and must not be greedy for meritorious advances, let alone deviate from the Feixiao army’s detection route."
Seeing Qin Meng's words so solemnly, Yu Juluo didn't realize that he beat the drums in his heart. He wanted to ask for some understanding, but Qin Meng was about to talk about him, so he turned off the topic.
At the end of July, Han Wang Yang Liang, commanding the army, arrived in Youzhou and stopped. At this time, all the troops mobilized by all parties were gathered together.
Sure enough, Yang Liang invited Yu Juluo alone, saying that Youzhou often fought against the barbarians, he must have experience in combat, Yang Liang asked Yu Juluo to help plan and see how to send troops is the most appropriate.
Yu Juluo remembered Qin Meng’s explanation, and quickly turned away, saying that he actually didn’t know much about barbarians. , But there is no suggestion at all.
According to Qin Meng's instructions, Yu Juluo recommended Luo Yi to Yang Liang. He added Luo Yi to martial arts talents and cryptically pointed out the background of Luo Yi's promotion by the prince Yang Yong.
Yang Liang didn't even think about it. He accepted Yu Juluo's recommendation and let Luo Yi lead 50,000 Youzhou soldiers, and after Yu Feixiao's 6,000 pioneers, he became the second echelon of the march.
After staying in Youzhou for more than ten days, Yang Liang ordered to conquer the Goguryeo army. The total amount of land and water was 350,000, and the operation was started according to the predetermined battle plan. (End of this chapter)
