General Lin hadn't been in the army for a few days to discuss, so Xu Zhiqing's explanation was clearly for everyone to hear, but secretly it was specifically for him to analyze the situation, so that he, the happy general, would not know the years in his dreams and live in a muddle. The current situation made several people frown, and even the high chief who was not good at military instincts felt that something was wrong.
He glanced at the map drawn by Xu Zhiqing again, from Wuyuan in the east to Yiwu in the west, beyond Kuncang Mountain, and the vast expanse of land to the north is the sphere of influence of the Turkic people. Dahua is known as the kingdom of heaven, with vast land and abundant resources. Compared with Turks, it has no advantage in terms of geographical area alone. It's just that most of the Turkic territories are grasslands and deserts, which are far away from Dahua's land of fish and rice.
"Miss Xu, I've always had a question that I haven't understood." Lin Wanrong thought for a while, and said seriously: "The land of the Turkic people is so big, it's almost equal to my Dahua, so how many people do they have?"
Xu Zhiqing sighed slightly, stretched out four crystal clear fingers and waved them in front of him, Lin Wanrong was stunned: "400,000 people, so many? Then this battle may have to be fought for several years!"
Xu Zhiqing was angry and funny, and said angrily, "Do you have any brains? If the Turkic people only have 400,000 people, no matter how bold he is, he dares to invade the hinterland of Dahua?"
It seems to make sense, Lin Wanrong smiled sarcastically, Hu Bugui was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, and hurriedly said: "Miss Xu means that there are 400,000 Turkic men in their prime, and ordinary people are afraid to Several million, this is the number of previous years. In recent years, they have defeated Tie Le, Qiuci, etc., and dominated the grassland and desert. The power has grown rapidly, and now I don’t know how much the population has increased.”
Four hundred thousand strong men? Master Lin stuck out his tongue, it was really quite different from the Turks he knew in his previous life. It is clearly a great country that can almost rival Dahua.
"Brother Gao, let me ask one more question." He lowered his voice and said carefully to Li Yi: "There are so many people in Turkic, so how many soldiers and horses do I, Dahua, have stationed at the border? According to my humble opinion, no matter what happens, it will be sixty or seventy." Wan?"
Gao Chief shook his head slightly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, Xu Zhiqing snorted and said, "Do you think these are mud figurines, and you can come as many as you want? There are Japanese harassers in the south of my country, and there are at least 100,000 troops in the southeast. And at the northern foot of the Great Wall. There are more than 300,000 soldiers from the three battalions, plus another 300,000 elite soldiers who went north with the general, a total of 600,000 troops. I, Dahua, have done my best. All the strong men have come out, and I vow to fight the barbarians to the death."
Compared with the 400,000 Turkic cavalry, the 600,000 Dahua elites have no advantage at all. Fortunately, the old man still vowed to eradicate the Hulu, Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled wryly.
Looking at his helpless face. Xu Zhiqing said quietly: "If it is only counted by the number of people, our Dahua has the upper hand, and we are on the defensive. It is not easy for the Hu people to fight us decisively. But our disadvantage is that our army's battle line is too long , the Turkic cavalry is flexible and has no worries. It only needs to break through a little, and our defense line will completely lose its effectiveness. This is what I am most worried about."
She sighed slightly, her crystal cheeks shining softly in the twilight. The faint worry in the eyes deeply infected everyone. This overwhelming burden rests on the shoulders of a weak woman. It really made things difficult for her.
"Flexible?!" Miss Xu's words seemed to remind Lin Wanrong, his heart moved, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhiqing's delicate cheeks, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Brother, what's the matter? Hey, you're drooling—" Master Lin's eyes were wide open and his mouth was round, as if he was a chimpanzee who hadn't evolved well. He didn't know what stimulated him, and he stared straight at Mr. Xu On him, the high chief hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, reminding him in a low voice.
"Oh, really," Lin Wanrong woke up, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao likes to joke, this is clearly the dew that falls at night, what has it to do with saliva? Normally, I just watch You only drool when you see beautiful women, brother Gao, don't make a mistake."
Gao Chief Hu Bugui and the others burst out laughing, Xu Zhiqing lowered her head slightly, but did not forget to stare at him, a faint blush rose from her pink neck, reflecting her delicate and charming cheeks that were as crystal as jade.
After everyone laughed enough, Lin Wanrong straightened his expression and said: "Mr. Xu, I don't understand one thing. The Turkic cavalry is flexible and flexible. Why do you say they have no worries?!"
"Isn't it?!" Xu Zhiqing glanced at him, and said softly: "My Dahua soldiers are sticking to the city. In order to protect the integrity of the country, they dare not move a little bit easily, and they are passively beaten everywhere. On the other hand, the Turks, they go deep into the desert grassland , There is no division of national borders at all, let alone the responsibility of defending the land. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry do not need to defend the country. In their hands. What else is there to worry about?!"
The Turks are nomadic people, and Ms. Xu said that they are free to come and go without reason. Lin Wanrong nodded, and said unhurriedly: "The military adviser is right. The Hu people's borders are fluid, and there is no need to protect the land. But I don't agree with them saying that they have no worries at all."
Seeing the twinkle in his eyes, based on Xu Zhiqing's understanding of him, she knew that this person must have some kind of evil idea. There was a little hope in her heart, but her expression was as calm as water, she nodded lightly and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lin Wanrong sighed: "Miss Xu just said that the barbarians come and leave whenever they want, and enter and leave my Dahua country as if there is no one, but why is this?!"
"Probably because they are strong." Hu Bugui whispered.
Lin Wanrong shook his head: "No matter how strong our strength is, we will not take Dahua as a soft persimmon. In my opinion, the reason why Hu people can come and go freely is caused by our own conservative decision-making. We blindly take a defensive position. If he doesn’t bully you, who do you bully? To put it bluntly, this is the result of us indulging them, and we have to blame ourselves.”
It's really ugly, but don't let Ms. Xu and General Lin quarrel again, Du Xiuyuan carefully looked at General Lin, then at Xu Zhiqing, feeling very upset.
Gao Chief was puzzled and said: "Brother Lin, I don't understand what you said. The Turks invaded our frontier, so don't we defend the city? They are powerful, and we should avoid their edge. It should be good to guard the city." It should be about the same as the high chiefs.
Lin Wanrong nodded: "Brother Gao is right. The Turks invaded. We defended the city. There is nothing wrong with that. But the mistake is that we only saw the word of defense, not the word of attack. They are strong, but we are weak. So we can’t attack? What’s the reason? Why can Turkic people violate our borders and be free to come and go, and play whatever they want? To put it bluntly, we are too conservative and have completely given up on offense. There is no opposition at all. They put enough pressure on and of course they had a good time."
General Lin's words are good in theory. Du Xiuyuan thought for a while, and said seriously: "Hu people have no borders, even if we want to attack, we can't find opponents. Besides, give up our good at defending the city, and fight with fierce Hu people in the desert. Say something depressing. , which is exactly what the barbarians wish for.”
"That's right, the barbarians do have no borders to defend. It looks very chic to ride around the world." Lin Wanrong smiled slightly: "But, don't they really have nothing to defend?! I don't think so! Find out who they are Achilles heel, fatal with one blow, let's see how his hundreds of thousands of cavalry come and go whenever they want!"
"Things that the barbarians want to defend?" Gao Chief muttered to himself, and suddenly his expression brightened: "Yes, we can burn their food and rob their women. He must defend these things, right?! Fuck him ***—”
Lin Wanrong blinked his eyes, but Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan had already burst into laughter. Xu Zhiqing's face was bright red, and she glared at Lin Wanrong a few times.
"Miss Xu, it's none of my business, I didn't teach him," Mr. Lin said with a grin, "Even though Brother Gao's words are rude, he does have some heroic courage, I admire you."
Several people laughed, Xu Zhiqing shook her head and said: "Hu people are not like Dahua, they take away their war horses and food with the army. It is useless to grab food, but it may fall into the wolf's den. As for robbing women, the Hu people are all She has a high nose bridge and blue eyes, not much better than a Yaksha. Another important point is that a barbarian woman also grew up on horseback, and her riding and shooting skills are better than ordinary men in Dahua. There are a lot of them, if anyone wants to play with them, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to succeed."
Miss Xu's expression was indifferent, and she glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that he had said it on purpose.
Master Lin touched his cheek angrily, do I look like a pervert? Why are you staring at me! I'm famous for being the one who can't be fucked by beautiful women!
"It's possible to sneak attack a small group of Turkic cavalry and tribes," Du Xiuyuan said cautiously: "As long as one of them is attacked. If the news spreads, the Turkic people will have worries and dare not trample on our border so unscrupulously again."
These words are mature and prudent, and they are also operable. The embarrassing thing is that the Turkic tribes are all soldiers. Unless it is a siege with several times the force, otherwise, once there is a fight. It's really hard to say who attacked who.
Hu Bugui immediately thought of the problem, shook his head and said: "The Hu people have at least two or three thousand people in a clan and tribe. We need at least five thousand elite cavalry to attack us in order to be sure of victory. And it is very possible The stalemate in the battle and improper handling will put our army into a passive position, and the risk is too great."
Both proposals were rejected, but Lin Wanrong, the initiator of the proposal, has not yet spoken. Seeing the way he smiles, you can tell that he has been caressing for a long time. Xu Zhiqing stared at Lin Wanrong, and said annoyedly: "General Lin, don't play charades any more. If you have any suggestions, please speak up quickly."
Lin Wanrong spread her hands and said with a smile: "I don't have any good suggestions, Miss Xu just laughed at me."
Seeing his self-respecting appearance, Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth with hatred, and whetted her appetite, but she cherished herself and refused to say anything. This is the kind of person she hates the most. She snorted leisurely, stared at his cheek, and said angrily: "General Lin is too modest. You are well-known for your kindness, righteousness, intelligence and wisdom, and I believe you must have good suggestions."
"Miss Xu is too much." Master Lin sighed, "Actually, the shortcomings you mentioned are the same as my being too handsome. I have been working hard to correct them, but now it seems that I have completely failed."
Gao Chief laughed out loud, patted Lin Wanrong on the shoulder, and sighed: "Ashamed, ashamed, brother Lin, don't tell me I don't know yet. How come your shortcomings are exactly the same as my strengths? Apart from these, my old Gao is really good. It's nothing!"
Master Lin roared, feeling depressed in his chest. This Lao Gao's shameless appearance is quite similar to my demeanor back then. In the future, if anyone calls me thick-skinned, I'll be in a fucking hurry with whoever - am I too tall
"Are you going to say it or not?" Seeing him and Gao Chief winking and smiling like a thief, Miss Xu's face turned red, and she wished she could kick his ass with her little feet.
Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh of helplessness: "Since Ms. Xu wants me to say it, then I have no choice but to make a fool of myself. In fact, Hu people are just like us, and there are some things that they must protect. The sneak attack on the Hu people's tribe that Brother Du just said, It is a good proposal, the disadvantage is that the risk is greater, and the gain is relatively small, even if it succeeds, the impact will not be too great."
He paused, and his voice suddenly became serious: "If you want to have a big harvest, you have to go through a big risk. This is an undeniable truth. To hit a snake, you have to hit it at seven inches. To have a huge impact, call Hu People are shuddering—please think about it, where is their Achilles’ heel, where they can kill with one blow?!”
Once again tantalizing, Ms. Xu got anxious, and poked hard on his armor with the pencil in her hand: "You man, you are going to annoy me to death, so hurry up and say it!"
Lin Wanrong grinned, took a pencil from her hand, and drew on the map intentionally or unintentionally, guiding everyone's eyes: "Everyone look at the picture—follow me, look north, farther, further away, I saw a place where barbarians are not vigilant—yes, this is it!!”
With a heavy sigh, he landed the pen on a spot on the map, circled it vigorously, and then with all his strength, he forked hard in the middle of the month, piercing through the back of the paper!
When everyone saw the place clearly, they held their breaths, their pupils dilated continuously, their faces were white with red, red with white, and beads of sweat rolled down.
"What a powerful circle!!" Gao Chief's exclamation sounded: "Brother Lin, where is this?!"
