After receiving the news, Xu Ping hurried to Gao Daquan's Qinrong Army Mansion, and saw Wang Kai and Yang Wenguang standing in front of a large map, constantly discussing the relevant situation. After the establishment of the Protectorate, the command was moved down, and Yang Wenguang was selected to be the Counselor Military Department, who was in charge of Gao Daquan's first army, just like Wang Kai next to Xu Ping before.

Gao Daquan and Jingtai were on the side, frowned and thought about their worries without saying a word.

Xu Ping came in, and several people hurriedly saluted.

Wang Kai said: "Protector, the news I just received was that the thieves who had gone to the pass of Xishou Military Supervisor suddenly went out. It might be that some chaos occurred in their territory. Luo Ji, the chief general of Liuzhou City, saw that the pass was empty at this time, so he led his troops to attack the city."

Xu Ping asked without hesitation: "Have you set out? Have you waited for our military order?"

Gao Daquan said: "He has already set out. He is recruiting troops and sending letters to us. If he had a good estimate, the pass should have been conquered at this time."

"Oh" Xu Ping nodded, sat down at the table, and lowered his head to calculate. Others dared not disturb him, and stood on the side and waited quietly. The army had always been arranged to attack Tiandu Shannan Court first. The Xishou Military Supervisory Office suddenly came like this, and anyone was puzzled about how to develop later.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan and Jingtai: "What do you think about this? How do you think of it?"

The two looked at each other and Gao Daquan said: "The fighter opportunity is fleeting, and the generals of the front-line main formation must be decisive! The thief Iluo Ji mentioned suddenly came out, leaving an empty city. He should have done nothing wrong to lead his troops to attack."

"Of course there is nothing wrong, this is within the power and responsibility of the front-line chief general. The fighter is right in front of him. If he is hesitant, this person will not be qualified to be the front-line chief general!" Xu Ping waved his hand, "I am not talking about the right or wrong of the main general, but how should we deal with it if he captures that pass. The main force of your army is in the south, and has made countless hard work and made countless preparations. It is impossible to let Tiandu Mountain South Courtyard not fight. But now there are fighter planes in the north. You can estimate whether the troops under your army can support the two routes in combat. The real south and the north are in the north. If the opportunity comes, what's wrong with the two routes together!"

Gao Daquan and Jingtai went aside, discussed quietly for a while, and then came back and said, "Protector, the Tiandu Shannan Courtyard must advance layer by layer, and require that once the key points are captured, the troops required will be launched immediately. If we start a war against the Xishou Military Supervisory Office, we will not be able to support the capture of the Rong Military Commission, and we will still send reinforcements."

Xu Ping nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, you should focus on the southern line."

After saying that, he got up to Wang Kai and Yang Wenguang and looked at the huge map on the wall.

After a while, Wang Kai said: "Protector, should you let Liu Jianji's army move forward and let Cao Keming's troops take over Huizhou?"

Xu Ping shook his head: "No, Liu Jianji's troops are preparing to support Gao Daquan's army and attack the southern courtyard of Tiandu Mountain. We cannot disrupt our established deployment of the southern line because of the northern war. After the two armies were fully launched, Cao Keming wanted to station troops in Huizhou to intimidate the Qiang in the surrounding mountains. Moreover, his army was set up to prevent accidents and cannot be moved lightly."

After a while, Xu Ping said decisively: "I ordered Sang Yi to leave five thousand people to station on the spot, and his team's main force immediately crossed the river!"

Wang Kai said: "Will you wait a little longer? If the thief really attacked that pass, and the defense of the thieves was empty, then let Sang Yi's troops participate in the battle? The previous one just said that there were no soldiers at the pass, and there was no definite news whether it could be defeated."

Xu Ping nodded slightly and shook his head suddenly: "Don't wait! The battle has begun, and it has not disrupted our established deployment. It's nothing to open another battlefield in the north. This winter, even the thieves knew it well. Most of the troops in the Xishou Military Supervisory Department were transferred south, and the defense was extremely empty. There is nothing wrong with the main and secondary battles, but there is no reason why one direction can't use troops if you attack the other direction! We passed our military order and ordered Sang Yi to immediately reorganize the army across the river!"

Wang Kai promised and immediately brought people to draft orders. Tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, not just a simple sentence. It involved all aspects of localities, logistics, military supplies, etc., and actually issued a long list of orders. Xu Ping said the word "crossing the river", and Wang Kai had to draw up a series of military orders related to this, and there were no mistakes. This is the difference between Xu Ping and other armies. Everything must be formalized and professional, so that the commanders and commanders will not be at a loss, nor will they give them the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

After hearing this, Gao Daquan and Jingtai both stood up to see the situation on the map.

Xuanwei's army was the most powerful and combat-capable force under Xu Ping. The reason why it was idle was that Xu Ping originally wanted to capture the southern courtyard of Tiandu Mountain and drive the Dangxiang Army northward, and immediately attack Lingzhou. First, he took down this strategic location, and at the same time surrounded and annihilated the retreating Dangxiang's main force, and basically resolved the war south of Lingzhou. Without this plan, Sang Yi's troops actually became the most powerful reserve team of the entire army, and could be put into the direction needed at any time.

After looking at the map for a while, Jingtai said: "If Xuanwei army captured the Xishou Military Supervisory Office before us, wouldn't it be that the thieves' retreat? In this way, will they still defend the southern courtyard of Tiandu Mountain?"

Gao Daquan pointed to the road to the Zhenrong Army on the map: "The Hao thief's retreat will never be able to escape. The Jingyuan Road army goes west to attack Baibao City. The thieves can go from Zhenrong Army to Weizhou. Although it is not good for the thieves to lose Tiandu Mountain, their main force can still escape and still deal with the court."

Xu Ping said: "Our original plan was to blow up the Tiandu Mountain South Courtyard first, so that Hao thieves had nowhere to live. As long as they occupied the Tiandu Mountain South Courtyard, the Xishou Military Supervisor Department would be irrelevant to the thieves. They would not defend to the death and would inevitably retreat north. At that time, Sang Yi's troops then pursued, and could achieve the greatest result at the lowest price. As a result, Hao thieves knew our plan and concentrated most of their troops to him. The Xishou Military Supervisor Department became empty, so it was natural for us to change our strategy."

In this era, it is not easy for a large army to cross the river. Even if the ferry is fully equipped, it often takes several days and nights. The biggest advantage of Sangyi's station is that it is north of the Yellow River, with roads directly leading to the hinterland of Dangxiang, and there is no need to cross the Yellow River. It is very beneficial when demanding a quick attack to pursue the enemy. However, if you occupy the Xishou Military Supervisory Office and block Huluchuan, it will be meaningless for Yuanhao to be in Tiandu Mountain, and the situation of the war will inevitably undergo major changes. Give up the long-term goal of Lingzhou first and focus on the current war is another way of fighting.

Jingtai said: "Xuanwei's army crossed the river, so should we attack the Hao thief in advance?"

Xu Ping nodded: "I want it! After Sang Yi's troops cross the Yellow River, all the food and grass and military supplies are supplied normally, you will attack with him. As long as the war is together, all the troops in his hands will be thrown into it. Don't hesitate! The Hao thief must have the idea of ​​attacking the Zhenrong Army first and snatching the food and grass at Jingyuan Road. Let's hang the knife on his head first!"

Gao Daquan and Jingtai agreed to the promise and signaled Yang Wenguang to start re-arrangement.
