The Military Government Hall is located in an independent courtyard within the palace. The interior is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. The front courtyard is where the staff of the Military Government Hall work. The atrium is where meetings are held, as well as residences and dining halls.
Tang Yin led Qiu Zhen and others to the vestibule and entered the room. It was extremely busy inside, with dozens of people performing their duties. Some were whispering to each other about military affairs, while others were sketching maps, writing Wen'an, and others.
Some people were passing official documents in and out.
Seeing Tang Yin walking in, everyone in the Military Government Hall immediately put down what they were doing, bowed their hands respectfully and saluted, and said in unison: "Welcome ministers to meet you, your Majesty!"
Tang Yin waved his hands to everyone, indicating that they would not be polite, and then asked: "Where is Mr. Gu?"
"Wei Chen is here!" With a cautious response, a middle-aged man ran out from the back room quickly. He looked like he was in his early forties, with a medium build, a white face and a black beard, and looked like an academic who had read a lot of poetry and books. This person's name
His name is Gu Yuan, he is currently the general counselor of Junzhengtang, and is also the person in charge of Junzhengtang.
Gu Yuan was born in Fengguo Military Academy. Before joining the military academy, he had been affiliated with the direct army and served as a military counselor. Later, when Fengguo established a military academy, he took the initiative to ask Wuying to withdraw from the army and apply to enter the military academy.
At that time and even now, people who have become counselors rarely choose to retire from the army and further their studies. After all, after graduating from the military academy, if they are assigned to the army or work as counselors, the result will be the same, but they will waste several years in vain.
For a country like Feng Country that has been at war for years, wasting a few years is equivalent to wasting countless opportunities to advance, so no one would be stupid enough to do this, and Gu Yuan was undoubtedly an outlier.
Of course, his choice was undoubtedly the right one. When he was in the army, he already had rich practical experience. When he was at the military academy, he systematically acquired various military concepts. The combination of theory and practice gained him
The most perfect embodiment, and it was precisely because of this that Tang Yin chose him among many talents and appointed him as the general counselor of the Military Government Hall.
At present, Junzhengtang still belongs to a new organization, and his military rank as the general counselor of Junzhengtang is not high. But soon after, when Junzhengtang became the general planning place for various military operations of the Feng Army, Gu Yuan also rose with the tide and became
One of the most core figures in the Feng Kingdom military.
Tang Yin nodded towards Gu Yuan and said, "Master Gu, please take out the military policy hall's battle plan and show it to the left prime minister and the generals."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Gu Yuan bowed and saluted, and said sideways: "Your Majesty and the generals please speak to the inner chamber!"
Following Gu Yuan into the back room, everyone looked up and saw that this was said to be the back room, but the area was no smaller than the outside, but the range of activities was pitifully small, mainly because the center of the room was occupied by two long tables.
On these two tables, there were carefully made models, including mountains, water, woods, and lifelike cities. After everyone looked at them, they all secretly praised: What a beautiful sand table! They had basically participated in the first
During the Battle of Feng Mo, I could immediately tell at a glance at the sand table that one of them was Surabaya County of Mo State and the other was Zeping County of Mo State.
Without looking at the battle plan of the Military Government Hall, just by looking at the two sand tables, everyone already understood that the main focus of the second use of troops against Mo was still in Surabaya and Zeping counties.
Soon, Gu Yuan took out the plan drawn up by the Military Government Hall and showed it to everyone. The content inside was the Feng Army's preliminary plan for the war against Mo.
Although there were sand tables from Surabaya and Zeping counties placed in the inner room, Surabaya was not touched upon in the plan. The main focus was on the Feng Army's combat operations in Zeping County.
After everyone had watched it from beginning to end, Xiao Muqing looked suspicious and asked: "According to this strategy, does our army have to abandon Surabaya and only fight the decisive battle with Mo Jun in Zeping?"
Tang Yin said nothing and looked at Gu Yuan silently, waiting for his answer. The question Xiao Muqing asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.
Gu Yuan nodded and said: "Now Mo State has deployed heavy troops in the two counties of Surabaya and Zeping, and they are guarded by Mo State's capable generals. If our army attacks Surabaya and Zeping at the same time, and also in Ningdi and Mo
If the two countries are at war, then our country will become a three-line war again, and will repeat the failure of the last battle. Based on the lessons learned last time, the Military Government Hall suggested that either Surabaya or Zeping should be chosen, and our army should concentrate all its strength and attack one by force.
Earth, the first battle is the decisive battle, try your best to win with one blow!"
Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment and was noncommittal. Such large-scale macro tactics and strategies were not what he, the commander of the army, was good at.
He then asked: "Even if you have to choose between Surabaya and Zeping, why choose Zeping instead of Surabaya? You know, Mr. Lu was killed in Surabaya. Our army sent troops to Surabaya, and the soldiers all had revenge.
With a desire to avenge shame, morale will definitely be high."
Gu Yuan smiled and said: "General Xiao, in fact, the opinions within the Military Government Hall are not unified as to whether our army should attack Surabaya or Zeping as the first attack. In my humble opinion, Surabaya is certainly an important place in the country of Mo, and its county chief is certainly
It is the chief culprit that killed Mr. Lu, but after all, it is located in the northwest of Mo Country, far away from the capital of Mo Country. Even if our army conquers Surabaya in one go, it will not pose a fatal threat to Mo Country. Zeping County is different. It is located in
The center of the country of Mozambique extends in all directions from the southeast to the northwest. As long as our army captures Zeping, it will tear apart the defense line of the country of Mozambique from the center. Not only will it be a heavy blow to the overall morale of the country of Mozambique, but it will also allow our army to occupy the entire area.
By taking the initiative, by then, whether it is taking Tianyang County in the east, Sishui County in the west, or going south to Haowan County, close to the capital of the Mo Kingdom, it will be under the control of our army. This will have a great impact on our army's next steps.
The battle is very beneficial!"
Xiao Muqing was not worried about whether he had to go to Surabaya, he just asked casually. After hearing Gu Yuan's explanation, he was obviously an expert in it, so he didn't say more.
Tang Yin smiled and asked everyone: "What do you generals think of the overall strategy of the Military Government Hall?"
Xiao Muqing responded: "If it is reasonable and well-founded, the general will think it is feasible."
Peng Haochu, Zuo Shuang and other generals also nodded in response: "To attack Zeping is indeed a superior move. At least, Zeping's strategic position is much more important than Surabaya."
"However, Mozambique is also guarding against our attack. It is reported that the Mozambican army has no less than 400,000 troops stationed in Zeping, which is far more than Surabaya. It will not be easy to defeat Zeping, and the battle losses will be huge."
Liang Qi said with some worry.
Tanihara said: "The Military Government Hall also discussed this point and decided to use the Hundred Battle Army as the vanguard of our army to focus on the Battle of Zeping."
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, but no one said anything immediately. The Military Government Hall decided to send hundreds of troops to attack Zeping. This may be a tactical strategy, but the main reason is probably to please the king.
The Bai Zhan Army is an army of pure Zhen people, with 400,000 soldiers up and down. Such a large Zhen people army within the Feng Army will undoubtedly become a worry for the king. Send the Bai Zhan Army to attack Zeping,
First, it can verify the combat power of the Zhenren. The most important thing is that it can consume hundreds of war troops and alleviate the king's concerns about it.
This is obviously a strategy that can achieve both ends and achieve multiple goals with one stone. It seems that the people in the Military Government Hall are not giving it in vain!
Sure enough, after listening to Gu Yuan's opinion, Tang Yin nodded and said, "This is a good idea! There are 400,000 Baizhan Army, and it is also the Zhenren Army. They have always been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. Let them fight Zeping.
It’s a tough battle, and it couldn’t be more appropriate.”
Liang Qi secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained calm. He asked: "I wonder how the military government hall arranges the reinforcements from the rear?"
"The Pingyuan Army and the Feilong Army are combined into the rear army. If the Baizhan Army fails in the front battle, the Pingyuan Army and the Feilong Army can serve as reinforcements. In addition," at this point, Gu Yuan looked at Tang Yin and whispered, "Because the cavalry of Mo State is even more powerful."
It is powerful, and the best way for our army is to use heavy cavalry to defeat it, so in the Battle of Zeping, the Ninth Army Corps may be used."
Since the Ninth Legion is currently the only cavalry legion in Feng Kingdom and is very treasured in the eyes of everyone, Gu Yuan is also very cautious when sending the Ninth Legion to the battlefield.
Tang Yin smiled when he heard this and said: "The legion was established to fight, not to be watched or to scare people. In this battle against Mo, we can only win, not lose, let alone
We will not hesitate to use the Ninth Legion, even if it requires all the strength of the country!"
Gu Yuan cheered up and said, "If your Majesty is determined, I can go ahead and do it."
Tang Yin said: "This time, I still want to conquer the country of Mo personally. You must remember to arrange the direct troops to enter and exit the army."
"This" Gu Yuan did not respond immediately. The war against Mo was not a small war. Logically speaking, such a large-scale national war is not suitable for the monarch to personally participate. If an accident occurs on the battlefield, it will be
The whole country is in turmoil and the whole army is in chaos. The risk is too high.
Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Tang Yin asked: "What? Master Gu thinks that this king cannot go on an expedition?"
"No, no, no! I don't dare! It's just that I feel that the journey is far away and the king is afraid that it will delay the government's affairs!" Gu Yuan came from the direct army. Of course, he understood Tang Yin's character and knew that he liked to charge into battle, but he also
It's hard to be too straightforward, so I can only persuade him in roundabout ways.
