As soon as they heard that he had a solution, everyone in the big tent suddenly became elated. This was all due to the great victory in the first battle, and the confidence that Lin Wanrong brought to everyone.
"What plan do you have, tell me quickly!" Xu Zhiqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged him.
Lin Wanrong stared intently at the map, and said leisurely: "We have an old saying in Dahua, that is, before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. The Turks have more than 200,000 horses, stationed in Wuyuan, and the consumption of food and grass every day is certainly not a small amount. They are not like us, they can rely on the Xingqing Mansion to supplement their supplies. As far as I know, almost all the grain and grass of the Hu people are transported from the prairie. We might as well do something on this hTtP://Www.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO .com
article. "
Surprise raids on grain and grass, there are countless classic battles in the past and present. He proposed this idea, and everyone didn't think it was new. The only thing that was difficult for everyone was how to achieve the effect of the surprise attack.
Yu Zongcai took a peek at Xu Zhiqing, shook his head and said, "General Lin, I'm afraid you don't understand the habits of the Hu people. Turkic people grew up on horseback and are good at riding and shooting. They are all carried with them. At most, each person can carry more than ten days of rations. If you want to attack their food and grass, I am afraid that there is nowhere to start."
Everyone in the tent has fought against the Hu people for so many years, so of course they understand their habits clearly, and they all nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhiqing smiled and said: "Brother Yu, you have misunderstood what General Lin meant. It is true that Hu rations were carried with him, but that was when they marched rapidly and came and went like the wind, and the rations for more than ten days were enough for them to finish a whole day's work." It was a big battle. But this time it was different. Our army won a big victory in Wuyuan, which was far beyond the expectations of the Turks. Nalu Dongzan was extremely cautious. He must investigate the situation ahead before he is willing to continue advancing. The marching speed is greatly increased. The delay has slowed down. It will take them at least three days to get here from Wuyuan. In addition to the time it takes to rush from the grassland to Wuyuan, that is to say, before arriving at the Helan Pass, they have not yet met with the main force of our army. In the confrontation, the Turks have consumed at least half of their rations. If you were Lu Dongzan, what would you do?"
"The military division means that in order to cross Helan Mountain, Lu Dongzan must mobilize food and grass from the depths of the grassland!" Zuoqiu suddenly realized.
Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile and gave him an appreciative glance.
"This is the congenital deficiency of the Hu people," Xu Zhiqing continued to analyze: "They used to conquer other tribes. They all fought in the grasslands and deserts. Food and grass can be deployed at any time. The supply is not so important. But this time it is very different Although the Hu people are brave, they have never assembled more than 300,000 heavy troops. This is the first time they have fought on such a large scale. The battle is not only a competition of the courage of the soldiers on both sides, but also a competition of national strength. And I can say with certainty that before the capture of Xingqing Mansion, these 300,000 Turkic people will never get a grain of food from my Dahua. Therefore , Logistical support will be the weakest link of the Turks."
Xu Zhiqing spoke in an orderly manner, her analysis was reasonable, and all the generals knew the truth in their hearts. It is true that the Hu people are powerful, but they must also see their shortcomings.
Lin Wanrong shrugged and said helplessly, "I heard what Miss Xu said. I suddenly regretted it—I cut down 5,000 war horses in Wuyuan. Didn't that give the barbarians a lot of rations?"
Laughter rang out in the tent, and Zuo Qiu patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "It's okay. Five thousand war horses are a drop in the bucket for the 300,000 mouths of the barbarian. It's just a meal. But brother Lin, you leave it to the barbarians. I am afraid that the shadow in my heart will never be erased for the rest of my life."
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly, and the atmosphere in the tent became lively again.
Yu Zongcai refused to accept: "Even if Lu Dongzan wants to mobilize a large amount of food and grass, it will be done in the grassland behind them. Hundreds of thousands of Hu people lie in front of our army, can we fly over to sneak attack?"
Xu Zhiqing nodded: "Brother Yu is right, this is also something I can't understand, but I don't know how General Lin will make a surprise attack?"
This is indeed a very serious problem. It is simply an impossible task to pass through hundreds of thousands of Turkic people. Everyone focused on Lin Wanrong and listened to what he had to say.
Lin Wanrong walked to the map, stared silently for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Xu, brothers, what do you think of the trend of Helan Mountain?"
When he asked this rashly, everyone was stunned. What trend can this Helan Mountain have? Isn’t it just a huge mountain range? It stretches from north to south, it is a natural barrier between Dahua and Turks, and it is also a watershed between the two cultures. Besides, what else can we see
"The peak of Helan Mountain is high and tough. The highest place is called Aobao Gelong. It is the highest peak in the northwest of Dahua. It stretches for 800 miles. To the west, it is steep first and then slow, straight into the Alxa Grassland—" Xu Zhiqing explained carefully, took the red lowercase letters, and marked the locations of the places she mentioned on the map.
Lin Wanrong smiled gratefully at her, and looked at the vast mountains marked on the map with a concentrated expression, and was actually a little dazed.
Ms. Xu was the closest to him, and she saw the gleam in his eyes, muttering to herself: "Driving a long car, stepping through the Helan Mountain Que, aspiring to eat Hulu meat, laughing and drinking the blood of the Huns. Helan, the great Helan—"
He was reading poetry again! Xu Zhiqing's heart was beating fast, her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly asked softly, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Wanrong glanced at the crowd and laughed loudly: "Helan is a great place. We must not only defend this Helan Mountain, but also attack from here."
Attack? Miss Xu stared at the map in silence for a while, and suddenly her expression changed suddenly: "You, do you want to cross Helan Mountain from east to west and enter the Alxa Grassland?"
Miss Xu's words awakened the dreamer, and all the generals in the tent all changed their expressions. You must know that the Helan Mountains are naturally steep, there are only two grand canyons running through the north and south, and it took thousands of years to form, and the terrain is steep and extremely difficult to pass through. And the east-west direction is boundless mountains, primeval forests, strong winds below the mountains, heavy snow on the top of the mountains, harsh and changeable climate, and there have been no roads to pass through since ancient times. It's just a dream come true to want things to run through Helan Mountain.
"Isn't it possible?" Lin Wanrong looked indifferent, and pointed his fingers to the northwest of Helan Mountain: "Mr. Xu, is this place called Bayanhot?"
Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth and nodded: "That's right, this is Bayanhot, which is located in the northwest of Helan Mountain. The plain is open, and it is good at producing sandfish. Its wool is fine and smooth, curled like clouds, and it is the famous 'Qianjinqiu'. '. Most of the supplies of the Turks came through this turnover.
"That's it!" Lin Wanrong slapped the map heavily: "The throat of the Turks!"
Everyone in the tent was silent like cicadas. After a long time, Zuoqiu said: "Brother Lin, are you crazy? The Hu people know that Bayanhot is located at the north foot of Helan Mountain, but they still boldly set up the supply transfer station here. Do you know why? ?”
"I would like to hear the details." Lin Wanrong clasped her fists together.
Zuoqiu shook his head and sighed: "Not only because of the rich products here, and the distance from Wuyuan, but more importantly, because this Helan Mountain has been a dead end for thousands of years from east to northwest. I have walked out alive. If it weren’t for this, the Turks would have killed them long ago. Setting up the supply transfer station here, they are more assured than us!”
"Yeah, this is a dead end," Yu Zongcai echoed, "General Lin, are you crazy because you want to be a hero? If this road is open, what natural dangers can stand between us and the Turks?"
Lin Wanrong let out a long breath: "Brother Yu, the more impossible something is, the more likely it is to make a breakthrough. You haven't walked this road yourself, how can you conclude that it is a dead end?"
"Could there be any mistakes in the countless legends of the ancestors?" Yu Zongcai snorted.
"The ancestors may not be right in everything, and the road needs to be stepped on." Lin Wanrong sighed and said leisurely.
The tent was extremely quiet for a moment, as if the sound of needles dropping could be heard clearly. Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Zhiqing. Let's see what she says. Miss Xu stared at the map, bit her red lips and remained silent for a long time before she said softly, "How sure are you going to go this way?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head solemnly: "I'm not sure. The only thing I can be sure of is that there must be a road connecting the east and west foot of Helan Mountain, but we haven't found it yet."
His earnest expression confused Xu Zhiqing for a while. Based on her understanding of Lin Wanrong, this person has no truth in small matters, and no lies in major matters, especially at this moment when it is related to Dahua's lifeline, he will never aim at it indiscriminately. "Then how can you be so sure?" Xu Zhiqing lowered her voice and complained lightly.
Lin Wanrong didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that I have traveled before? In fact, there are several east-west corridors in the Helan Mountains. But he is not quite sure whether it will work in this world.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm sure, it's really forced by the situation. If any big brother can come up with a better way, ghosts are willing to travel in the deep mountains and old forests."
Everyone was silent. Indeed, as Lin Wanrong said, now that the army is stationed at the foot of Helan Mountain, the Turks are advancing steadily, and a bloody battle is inevitable. If you can't think of any other way, you have to fight the Turks to the end.
Xu Zhiqing also knew this truth. I hesitated for a while. After a long silence, he sighed: "Let's stop here today, let me think about it."
Everyone knows that she is in trouble. They all said their goodbyes and came out. Before Lin Wanrong could take a few steps, she was stopped by Ms. Xu: "Wait a minute—"
"Miss Xu, what can I do for you?" Seeing Zuoqiu and the others walking far away, Lin Wanrong turned around and said with a grin.
Xu Zhiqing took out a letter from her shirt, silently handed it to him. Lin Wanrong opened the envelope and glanced at it, only to see a picture of a fairy-like woman on the front page. Sitting in the small pavilion, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her expression was clear, her belly was slightly bulging, but she was a young woman in a boudoir who was thinking about her.
"Qingxuan!" Lin Wanrong was overjoyed, this was actually a letter from Beijing, and the front page was Miss Xiao's self-portrait. Xiao Qingxuan didn't write a word, but this lightly sketched portrait has already sent thousands of words to him.
On the second page is another woman. Sitting in the carriage, the woman lifted the curtain to reveal her beautiful cheeks, with a hint of resentment in her heroic brows, her lotus feet stretched out of the carriage inadvertently, and a section of bright red thread fluttered gently on her ankle.
"Miss!" Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh, this is another self-portrait of Xiao Yuruo, and the deep-seated longing in the exhausted running is clearly seen.
Next are Ning'er, Qiaoqiao, Yushuang, Xian'er... Each of these wives drew a portrait of themselves. The situations and scenes are different, and the postures are even more different, but they are in line with their own temperament and instinct. The endless lovesickness is vividly displayed.
You Yi Ning'er is the most creative girl, lying on her gums, with a lazy expression, her delicate body wrapped in a silk quilt, slightly revealing her pink shoulders, a pure white wrist sticking out of the quilt, lightly holding a bright red candle , the ruddy little face was covered with a faint pink halo, so charming that even the candle flame was about to be suppressed.
Except for the portraits of the wives, the entire family letter does not contain a word, but it makes people feel hot when they read it. This is really the most creative family letter in the world. I don’t know who came up with the idea. It’s so special and talented!
Ning'er, why are you covering her with a quilt? Lin Wanrong snorted angrily, her eyes lingered on each lady for a while, and she didn't know how much her saliva dripped down.
"Have you finished watching?!" Xu Zhiqing's leisurely voice rang in his ears.
Lin Wanrong was startled, and then remembered that there was Miss Xu next to her, and hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and said haha: "It's over, it's over. Qingxuan and the others, this painting is really good, it's just wearing clothes It's a little bit too much, when I write a letter back to ask them to improve, next time I will draw a few pictures of bathing with red makeup and send them to the sauna."
A faint blush appeared on Xu Zhiqing's face, and she said judoly: "Your family has a lovely wife and beautiful family members, who are affectionate, caring and loving, and I don't know how many people are envious of them—crossing Helan Mountain and strangling the throats of barbarians, such a dangerous thing , do you still want to go?!"
