Late night, the chamber was brightly lit. In front of the big sand table, all the soldiers, including Qin Shubao, sat around, listening to Qin Mubai's analysis of the exchange between the enemy and us, and discussing tactics together.

"According to the daily meticulous return, within one and a half months, Tubo increased its troops five times in a row, with the number ranging from 3,000 to 7,000." Qin Mubai pointed to the Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan area and said, "They joined forces. One of the soldiers is located in the throat of Dafeichuan. It is next to Qinghai Lake for easy access to water. The lush grassland is sufficient for horses. The total number of soldiers and horses has reached 60,000. It is more than all the soldiers and horses under the rule of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Government. , More."

At this time, Qin Shubao said: "Obviously, after the defeat in Songzhou, Tubo was so embarrassed and unwilling to give up. He wanted to open a breakthrough from Lanzhou, with the intention of attacking Helong and completely swallowing Tuhu. In the past six months, the development and growth of Lanzhou is affirmed. It also made them very jealous and panic, they will not allow us to continue to sit big. The war is imminent. Even if we do not attack, the Tubo people will definitely come and harass."

"This is what the Governor said." Xue Wanjun's voice was still a little weak. He said, "The end of spring and the beginning of summer have always been a good time for the Tubo people to leave the plateau and looting Datang Prefecture. They are not the same as before. Turkic tribes. Turkic people generally only robbed in the autumn, because at that time we harvested food and the cattle and sheep became fatter. The Tubos were more barbarous than the Turks, and they liked to destroy and destroy. The late spring and early summer are the Central Plains. When the farm is busy, they like to invade at this time, the purpose is to destroy our farming and pastures. Transportation on the plateau is not convenient, and they can’t rob much of anything. Therefore, destruction has become their most willing thing to do. Tubo continues to increase its troops, and it is time to start the war according to past habits. In addition, they suffered a big defeat in Songzhou recently. They were also severely repaired by the major general in Shanzhou. Can Lin take revenge?"

When everyone heard Xue Wanjun's words, they all understood. He deliberately emphasized the "major general repairing the Tubo people in Shancheng". He obviously intended to show his favor to the Qin family and his sons, and he didn't avoid mentioning embarrassment. This amount also made him show his mind.

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled at him kindly, and said: "General Xue is what he said. Since the Tubo people must come to invade, it is better to take the initiative to attack. Offense is the best defense."

"But our military strength was inferior to that of Tubo, and we are still scattered in three places. The Shancheng frontline is less than 20,000 people. How to use troops?" A general raised doubts.

"There are not too many soldiers, but the essence. As long as the method is used well, it is not difficult to win the more with less." Qin Mubai said, "This time, we will not only take the initiative to prevent the disasters of the war within the territory of Lanzhou. In Sichuan, we have to remove this fang embedded in us-to drive the Tubo people out of Dafeichuan!"

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help being surprised, "This is unlikely!"

Xue Wanche immediately raised an objection: "Major General, our army is few and the enemy is a large number of troops. If we say that the field fights against the enemy for a while, we will have confidence at the end. If we want to stand firmly in the city step by step, it is not a problem. However, It’s not that you will end up arguing for others to extinguish your prestige, but the soldiers of Tubo have never been foolish!"

"Indeed." Xue Wanjun took over and said, "The governor is here, presumably you are also familiar with Tubo's combat power. Historically, if we talk about equal confrontation, our cavalry can be equal to the Tubo cavalry. , That’s not bad; if the two armies face off in a decisive battle, our cavalry generally uses the raiding array, and most of them still use the Modao infantry array to fight against it. If you fight like this, it’s not twice as good as the enemy. Absolute odds of victory. Today, Tubo's 60,000 cavalry are mostly elite soldiers. They have lost twice, eager for revenge, and burst out with terrible strength. All of our army adds up to less than 50,000. How can we gather or expel these 60,000 troops? What about taking over Dafeichuan?"

"The two generals are worthy of the battlefield. They have rich experience and know the enemy and me well." Qin Mubai smiled, and wanted to ridicule that he was so timid when he calmed down Tuyuhun a few years ago. Think about it. That's fine, save him some face, but said, "But the two generals also said that this kind of combat power comparison is under the general situation of equal battle. Obviously, we have no need to fight hard. Isn’t the strategy of warfare and warfare designed to deal with the war like this?"

"San Lang, don't sell Guanzi, talk about your tactics." Qin Shubao said.

"Yes, handsome father." Qin Mubai took a stick and pointed to the terrain of Dafeichuan. "Look at the terrain from Dafeichuan to Shancheng. There are many plains and pastures, which are very good for Tubo. Cavalry gives full play to their superiority. Therefore, we are not a last resort and can’t charge with them. This is extremely uneconomical. We must find a way to limit their cavalry impact advantage. My idea is to lie in ambush on all sides. To make the Tubo people hesitate, they obediently retracted to Dafeichuan and stayed at the camp!"

"Ambush on all sides, suspicious tactics?" The generals all screamed together.

"Yes!" Qin Mubai said, "Although the terrain of Dafeichuan's throat is flat, there are hills on both sides of the Tanping Avenue. We can ambush. I plan to let Xue Rengui lead a brigade. Elite cavalry rushed to challenge the Tubo people in the forefront, laying an ambush for us to pay for the bill. Ten ambushers do not need cavalry but only infantry, lying in the hidden places on both sides of the hills from Dafeichuan to Shancheng. Many strong bows, hard crossbows, and woods are placed. Artillery stones and fire-fighting grass. When our army is ready, we will send a letter to Xue Rengui in front of him, so that he will be defeated. When the Tubo people chase the troops, our army will neither attack nor shoot arrows, just want to beat the drums. Suspected soldiers, Tubo will inevitably retreat in horror."

"Just scared back? Why not ambush?" the generals questioned.

"We have few troops, but Tubo is very numerous. The terrain around Dafeichuan lacks vegetation and hills are not high, and the fire attack is not strong. Therefore, it is impossible to carry out a destructive attack on the enemy. Moreover, as long as the war is here Unfortunately, the nearby Tubo army will come out to rescue. This short distance is really nothing to their cavalry impact. When the time comes, we will be passive." Qin Mubai said, "So , We can only scare them off first. Then, let Xue Rengui challenge them. If Tubo does not come out, it is best; if they come out, they will be defeated again and frightened again. If they see through our scary tactics and continue to pursue and fight, There were ten ambushes and ten scares along the way. Who can stand it? Besides, I will send another soldier to meet Xue Rengui at the end of the ambush to prevent any accidents."

"What if the Tubo people become angry and go to kill the ambushes on both sides?" The public will continue to question.

"Didn’t we prepare strong bows, hard crossbows, wooden artillery stones, etc.? Although they are not enough to cause a devastating blow to them, they are more than self-protection. And as long as they dare to take risks, Xue Rengui will be able to conceal and kill. Come back. At that time, it's hard to worry about whether the Tubo people can fly into the sky or become immortals?" Qin Mubai said.

The generals couldn't help laughing, and Qin Shubao said: "The Tubo people can't attack our army's ambush. They are cavalry. Attacking from downhill to uphill is a great taboo for cavalry. And they would never do that. They don’t know how many people are ambushing on the mountain. Unless the generals of Tubo are crazy, they will not do such a thing."

"The governor is absolutely true! In this way, the major general's arrangement is really exquisite." All the generals nodded in praise.

"Ambush on all sides, scared back several times, I don't believe that the Tubo people are still so stupid and will kill them again and again." Qin Mubai said, "At this time, it's time for a decisive battle. We Blocked in the narrow throat of Dafeichuan, quickly built fortifications such as camps and arrow towers to give full play to the advantages of our infantry and crossbowmen, turn offensive to defensive and choke their throats, and limit the battlefield to Dafeichuan first-this It’s the art of war, which makes it impossible to enter. In this way, our army will be invincible and take the initiative, and then it will be easy to use strategies."

"What's next?" The generals asked curiously.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, but it was a little mysterious and unpredictable: "At that time, I will adapt to local conditions, and naturally have a clever plan to break the enemy. Call the Tubo army, lose the helmet and dissolve the soul, and the remnants are defeated. Obediently roll back to the plateau!"

The generals were taken aback for a moment, but it was not easy to ask questions anymore. Traditionally, such key military deployments are high-end military secrets, and it is reasonable for the chief general not to tell the lieutenant beforehand.

"How many people does that need?" Xue Wanjun asked.

"Ambush on ten sides, more than ten thousand people. Xue Renguiyi's mansion has two thousand fine horses, and three thousand fine horses along the way. At most thousands of soldiers and reserve soldiers will be used. A total of 20,000 soldiers and horses are enough!" Qin Mu Bai smiled, "No more, no less, it just happens to be the front line of Shancheng plus the total number of soldiers and horses in Yifu."

"Adding the miscellaneous fire head and the reserve, totaling 20,000?" The generals looked at each other, obviously unable to believe it.

Even Qin Shubao had to question: "Sanlang, if you want to choke his throat and prevent him from entering, I believe it can be done with 20,000 people. However, if he wants to expel the 60,000 Tubo army and seize his camp. , Is this unlikely?"

"It will do." Qin Mubai nodded very surely, "Father handsome, please trust me!"

The generals' faces became serious together, looking at Qin Mubai and Qin Shubao, waiting for the father and son to make a decision.

"It seems that you are the only one to command this battle? Saburo, let you take charge temporarily and attack Dafeichuan, right?" Qin Shubao said.

"No, father-in-chief. You can only talk about soldiers on paper, command such big battles, dispatch troops to condemn generals and dispatch them, and you can't use them unless you are generals. Let General Xue Wanjun take charge!" Qin Mubai said.

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, and Xue Wanjun was even more panicked. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Major General, Xue is the defeated general..."

Qin Mubai waved his hand to interrupt him, and smiled: "It is because of the defeated general that he knows the shame and is brave. General Xue, with your talents, you will do it. Qin is only in Zuo Weiwei. There is no way for a general in Yifu to give orders to the entire army. You are a third-rank general, and it is appropriate for you to command. The father is the master of Lanzhou, so he has to stay at the Dudufu to command the overall situation. Therefore, the commander in this battle is not you. Genus."

"Xue Wanjun... thanks to Major General!" Xue Wanjun stood up excitedly and bowed to Qin Mubai with his fists.

People with discerning eyes can see that Qin Mubai deliberately took care of Xue Wanjun at this time and achieved this great achievement. His strategy and tactics have been explained very clearly, and there is nothing very complicated in execution. As long as there are no major errors in execution, our army can be invincible-this is already a great achievement!

As for how to achieve a decisive victory in the end, Qin Mubai said that he "has his own clever plan", can he not dedicate it to Xue Wanjun? This is obviously taking care of him naked!

"Why did General Xue say this? I'm all in the same house as ministers and army generals, but I hope to contribute to the country together, why thank you?" Qin Mubai smiled back and said, "Father Shuai, General Xue Wanjun has not healed from his serious injury, so it is better to make General Xue Wanche his deputy. If you want to ambush one hundred thousand, you can use the soldiers of Shancheng. In the end, the general will lead the elite cavalry of Yifu with Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai. Go and help out. At that time, we will try to ensure that the Tubo army will not reach the city of Shancheng. Sooner or later, we will be able to win that Dafeichuan!"

Qin Shubao stood up, frowned slightly and stroked his long beard, solemnly said: "The old man, wait for your victory!"

The generals stood up together, and at the same time clasped their fists and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the Governor!"

In the middle of the night, the father and son are still sleeping on their feet. Qin Shubao hesitated over and over again and couldn't fall asleep, so he just got up and lit the lamp, and also woke Qin Mubai.

"Why don't father go to bed early?"

"San Lang, it's not that I don't believe you. I still feel uneasy in my heart." Qin Shubao said, "If I were to go out in person, I wouldn't be so worried. You say you...respectfully riding at 20,000 steps. Five thousand, can you really defeat the 60,000 elite Tubo cavalry and take down Dafeichuan?"

"Father, if it weren't for scaring you and Xue Wanjun and others, I'm going to use only 10,000 people!" Qin Mubai said half-jokingly and half-heartedly, "You can sleep at ease, sooner or later, let You received good news in the Dudu Mansion!"

"Smelly boy, sell it to your father? Say, what is the strategy?!" Qin Shubao was a little angry.

"Hey, you will know tomorrow, go to bed first, go to bed first!!"
