Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 14 Disagreement
The news that came back was not satisfactory. Although there are many people in the Mote people who are friendly with the Northwest, most of the powerful nobles in charge of the military power are conservative nobles supported by the Luobei people. They have always treated Tanghe People are not very friendly, but they are jealous of the huge wealth brought by the Tanghe people. They still want to go back to how the Luobei people ruled the roost of the East Tengger grassland a few years ago. , Northwest's thriving economy over the past few years has made them salivate even more.
The agitation of the Luobei people immediately made the two parties hit it off, and Guershli, who tended to live in harmony with the northwest, became a thorn in the eyes of the Luobei people, and Guer, who had been colluding extremely closely with the conservative military nobles Dan naturally became the spokesperson of the conservative nobles of the Luobei people and Mott, and the coup was inevitable. However, given that the pro-northwest nobles still had considerable influence, Guldan did not dare to execute his father after the coup. It was just to imprison Qi and prohibit him from contacting the outside world. Anyway, he is old enough, and maybe two years of illness and death is the best way. Of course, as his biggest competitor, Guer Sufu, although he is a brother of the same root, he didn't want to let it go. It was just a mistake that made Guer Sufu escape to the northwest, and also gave the northwest a chance to interfere in the internal affairs of the Mott people. best excuse.
According to the information sent back, the Luobei people seem to have reached an agreement with the Mott people. The Mott people show signs of giving up their territory and retreating westward. This makes Ling Tian worry but also a little uncertain , Do the Mote people really plan to give up the land they have lived for generations for hundreds of years to avoid the attack of their own army? Those Mote nobles would also agree to this method of drinking doves to quench their thirst? Didn't Gul'dan know that such an approach could lead to the downfall of his regime?
But now is not the time to think about the other party. If both the Motts and the Luobeis retreat westward, their own army will naturally be able to drive straight in, but the supply line will be dragged on for a long time. On the prairie, the logistics supply of one's own side will face severe challenges. Not only will the logistics bear considerable transportation pressure, but they will also be attacked by the Mote and Luobei cavalry who come and go like the wind at any time. , the risk of the army's westward advance is much greater. More importantly, even if one's own army occupied the territory of the Mott people, it could not eliminate the main force of the Mott people who avoided fighting, and it was impossible for one's own side to stay on this vast grassland for a long time. The eastern front is the northwest Ling Tianfang was unwilling to see such an ending, but when he raised this question to the coach, the other party didn't seem to pay much attention.
After reviewing the army, Wufeng, who was on his way back, saw the worried look on the face of the new Chief of Staff of the Military Affairs Department who was hesitant to speak several times. He understood what the other party was thinking. Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Wufeng closed his eyes silently, as if he was thinking about something, except for the sound of the wind passing through the cracks, the carriage seemed very quiet.
"My lord, this subordinate still has to repeat the old tune. According to the current situation, this subordinate feels that it is not appropriate for our army to go west with all its strength. Our logistics line will be greatly threatened, especially as we go deeper into the grassland. The bigger it gets." Finally unable to bear it any longer, Ling Tianfang still put forward his own opinion, although he knew that this might not be in line with Lord Jiedushi's idea, but as the Chief Staff Officer of the Military Affairs Department, he must pay attention to fulfilling his duties.
"Well, Tian Fang, didn't you already say it yesterday? I know." Wu Feng glanced at the other party lightly.
"But my lord, you don't seem to have any intention of changing the plan." Ling Tianfang didn't want to give up, "This subordinate thinks your plan is worth discussing."
"Tianfang, I understand what you mean, but this time I have made up my mind to completely solve the Mott problem. I don't want my rear to be threatened by these guys again. The Mott problem is not Solve it, they can collude with the Luobei people and Sithrow people to cause trouble for us at any time, that will take too much energy from us, and it will not be conducive to our next plan." Wufeng replied decisively, "Even if we pay some price Or it will cost us some more time, I think it is worth it."
"But my lord, the situation is different!" Ling Tianfang couldn't bear it anymore, his dark face flushed slightly, and his voice became high-pitched: "Our logistics supply line will face the most severe challenge in history. How can we prevent the harassment and raids of the nomadic cavalry who come and go without a trace on the logistics line hundreds of miles deep into the grassland? Also, if the enemy blindly retreats and does not make direct contact with our army, how will we respond? Should we stay in the grassland or retreat to the northwest? If it is the former, our logistics cannot last long, and if it is the latter, then there is no need for us to fight this battle!"
Facing the other party's fierce attitude, Wufeng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. He knew that his plan would not be easy to get the other party's approval, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so tough that he would argue with himself on the carriage stand up.
"Tian Fang, do you think the main problem of our westward expansion plan this time is the problem of logistics and supply?" Wu Feng asked the other party instead of directly answering the other party's question.
"Of course, the logistics problem is the first and most difficult problem to solve. If you want to smoothly transport logistics materials on the Tengger Grassland, you can't deal with it without a strong mobile combat force, and even if you have this force Another problem is that once the opponent adopts the form of loitering and refuses to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with us, we will fall into the quagmire of long-term battles. Once the situation on the Eastern Front changes, we will no longer have the strength to invest. You will lose your opportunity in vain!"
"What did you mean by releasing you that day to oppose our expedition to Tengger this time?" Wufeng made a point, expressing his agreement with the other party's point of view, but didn't say much, just asked a brief rhetorical question.
"No, my subordinates are not opposed to teaching the Mott people a lesson, but I feel that the delay of our fighter plane on the Eastern Front is probably not worth the loss because of the Mott people. The subordinate's idea is that it is better to support the current control of the Mott people. Guer Sufu in his hand, took advantage of the last imperial announcement that the news media had already publicized to officially establish Guer Sufu's position as the Great Chief of Mott, and through our influence within Mott, we could win over some of the Mott people who were inclined to us. We can provide them with weapons, materials and funds, as well as help them train and train, and we can even provide certain force support, but we must rely on them. In this way, we can avoid large-scale intervention in the Tengger War, retain a large number of mobile troops and invest in the Eastern Front at any time, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?" Ling Tianfang finally proposed after careful consideration. Views.
After listening to Ling Tianfang's suggestion, Wufeng was a little moved. He didn't expect Ling Tianfang to propose such a compromise plan. To be honest, he was also concerned about the logistics supply problem after entering the Tengger Grassland. He was a little worried that the situation on the Eastern Front also affected his nerves, but he still believed that the Northwest would never be stable if the Mott issue that was close at hand was not resolved. Ling Tianfang's proposals had merit, but they seemed too weak , I am afraid that it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem.
"Tian Fang, the Mott conservative nobles who are now leaning towards the Luobei people hold the power, and they are backed by the Luobei people and the Sithrow people. How many people do you think can go to this time without any Where's the basic Gu'er Sufu?" Wufeng didn't directly refute the other party, but just raised a rhetorical question, pointing at the other party's vital point.
Ling Tianfang obviously had a plan~IndoMTL.com~ replied calmly: "The real backing of the Mote people is actually only the Luobei family, and the Xisiluo people can be ignored at all. How much support does the old enemy provide. As for the Luobei people, they were beaten to death in front of the adults in the heyday. Now, can they be reborn? Hehe, I am afraid that the Mott people may not have much confidence in them, Especially those Mott people who are related to our interests. As long as we can take measures to drag this war on, the current strength of the Mott people will not last long at all, especially now that it is the beginning of spring, the green is not harvested, and the livestock are dying. Forage is already difficult to maintain. At this time of year, a large number of animals have to be slaughtered to overcome the difficulties. Now the war continues, and the Motts do not have any forage storage at all. They probably do not have the awareness of strategic reserves at all. It’s a joke! The basis of those regimes, how can the ordinary Mote herdsmen survive? If this problem is not solved, the Mote people under the leadership of Guldan will only fall apart even if they can win the support of the Luobei people. No matter how closely attached the nobles are to the Luobei people, it is impossible for them to watch their own people starve to death, and at that time there is no need for us to spend anything, and they will naturally kneel before us."
If Cai Wufeng didn't take Ling Tianfang's opinion seriously just now, Ling Tianfang's words really moved him. He had already made up his mind and had to consider the opinion of his chief staff officer. It doesn't take a lot of power and no risk to resolve this coup in an invisible way, and it won't affect its layout in the east. This seems to be a plan that has the best of both worlds. However, any plan is not perfect, and seemingly flawless plans often have fatal flaws.
