Chapter 1176 1177 [A little awe-inspiring energy] (2)

Since Gu Liang returned to Beijing in the seventh year of Renxuan and took over as the head coach of the Southern Camp, he has not personally commanded the army on the battlefield for ten years. However, everyone in the hall, including Tang Youzhi, is well aware of the great reputation of this military master on the southern battlefield.

To be honest, the vast majority of people were uneasy when Xiwu's army attacked this time. After all, the opponent came out in full force and made a desperate move. This kind of formation is rare in a century. A slight mistake may cause the entire front to be defeated.

Once the Western Army's defense line collapses, the consequences will be disastrous, and Daliang may even face the danger of national subjugation.

Gu Liang sat here and made decisive responses at the initial moment when the war broke out, making the defenders in various places clear about their responsibilities. In addition, today's in-depth analysis clarified Wu Jun's intentions, and they gradually felt at ease without realizing it.

Tang Youzhi thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Master Junji, I would like to ask you to fight on the northern front."

Since Xiwu decided to adopt such a high-pressure posture and at the same time open a breakthrough on the northern front, Tang Youzhi felt that it was his duty to lead the army to help. He had served as the commander of the Longgong Camp and was well aware of the situation in the three prefectures north of Lingzhou. He had three Xiang troops under his command.

He was originally an old pawn that was snatched away when the Western Army was streamlined.

Gu Liang shook his head slightly.

Tang Youzhi insisted: "Xiaguan is familiar with the terrain of the northern front. He will definitely be able to keep the Western Wu Northern Route Army out of the country. We also ask for permission from military aircraft."

Gu Liang raised his hand to stop and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, Marquis Tang. This battle will be a very long process. The victory or defeat of one or two battles, the gains and losses of one or two military towns, is just a part of it. Soldiers

Working hard on the front line, support from the rear is equally important

, you must stay in Xingyang and take charge of the Governor's Mansion, we can't live without you here. I'm not worried about the court. Pei Yue and Luo Ting know what to do, but you and I both know that Lingzhou is far in the west, and the road is really long, so

In the early stage, we can only rely on Lingzhou’s own reserves.”

A Xiangzan nodded and said: "What the Marquis said is absolutely true. It is indeed inappropriate for the Governor to leave Xingyang."

Tang Youzhi was not a passionate young man. Although he felt a pity that he could not defeat the enemies on the northern front with his own hands, he also knew the priorities and would not say more.

Gu Liang stood up and walked to the sand table, and everyone gathered around him.

He picked up the basswood next to the sand table, pointed at the Dingxi camp to the southwest and said: "Qi Xin is good at defending, and he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt. Although Zhang Qingbai likes to fight tough battles, he will definitely encounter someone this time.

It’s a hard nail, so... we don’t have to worry too much for the time being, at least we won’t make any mistakes in fixing the Western Army within a month.”

Everyone looked at Jinchuan Mansion in the north as he moved, only to hear his calm tone: "Jinshui Camp has both a military barrier and a Guping Military Town to protect its flanks. To the northwest is Hucheng. This is a complete garrison.

Imperial system. Even if the main force of Xiwu is deployed here, they will not be able to easily advance eastwards in a short time. In fact, the Emperor of Xiwu wants to trap the main force of our army in this system, but I also hope that his sight will stay here.

"

Gu Liang paused and said slowly: "The battle situation on the middle line must be a stalemate, so I am ready to open a way on the northern line."

"this……"

Everyone couldn't help but hesitate.

The biggest advantage of Xiwu is its powerful cavalry. Logically speaking, keeping them out is the correct strategy. If the Xiwu cavalry is allowed to enter Lingzhou, how can it be stopped?

Two years ago, the 800 Ba Dao Camp caused turmoil in the three prefectures in the north. Even if it was finally destroyed in Qishan Chong, Pei Yue paid a considerable price and almost lost his life. According to the information currently available, the Xiwu North Road Army Foot

There are 30,000 cavalrymen, and the leading general is Xie Lin, the general of Zhendong who was a cavalryman.

Eight hundred cavalry caused such serious consequences. Wouldn't 30,000 cavalry completely destroy the three prefectures in the north?

All the Xiangzans looked at Tang Youzhi in unison. It was obvious that he was the only one who could give advice at the moment.

Tang Youzhi stared at the Longbow Camp on the sand table, recalling the terrain in the northwest corner of Lingzhou, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and he said slightly excitedly: "Master Junji wants to close the door and beat the dog, and eat Xie Lin's main cavalry?"

Gu Liang smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "I have just told you that this battle seems to be about the patience and determination of both sides, but this is actually Wu Jun's way of sharpening his sword. They hope that our army will defend the position honestly.

They follow various military towns and become the enemy's whetstone. Therefore, what our army has to do is to loosen its pockets and give them a chance to get in."

He looked around at everyone and explained: "The southern route cannot be operated like this because the purpose is too obvious and Zhang Qingbai will not be fooled. The middle route involves too much, and the existence of Tiger City is destined to prevent the Western Wu army from going too deep. Only the northern route is broad.

The plain land is convenient for the Western Wu cavalry to gallop. In fact, even if I didn't do this, Xie Lin would definitely rack his brains to break through the Longbow Army's defense line."

"In that case, we might as well go with the flow."

Gu Liang spoke eloquently, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

Tang Youzhi showed a wry smile and said: "It's easy to open the door but difficult to close the door. The key is that even if we can lure Xie Lin's main force into the encirclement, we don't have enough dog-beating sticks."

What he said was based on reality. The Dingxi camp cannot be moved, and the Hucheng defenders are even less likely to move. It is not that simple to defeat Xie Lin's cavalry army just relying on the strength of the Longbow Army and the Lingzhou Xiang Army.

.

Gu Liang said calmly: "The Marquis of Tang is in Xingyang and is in charge of the entire army's logistics. I will personally command this battle."

Everyone was shocked. It was not that they doubted Gu Liang's ability to lead troops in war, but that the entire Western Army was now under Gu Liang's command. He was also the left military commander of the country. If something went wrong on the battlefield, it would be a blow to the morale of the army.

It is too serious and far exceeds the gains and losses of one city and one place.

"Master Hou, I have something to say."

When the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, a trembling voice rang in everyone's ears. They followed the sound and saw that it was a young man who had been sitting in the lower corner since the beginning of the military meeting, as if he was invisible and had always been silent.

His name is Wang Yong, the general manager of Xiangyun Lingzhou branch, and one of the most trusted followers of Duke Pei Yue of Wei.

The military advisers all knew the identity of this young man and the relationship between Pei Yue and Gu Liang. They were not surprised that he would appear here, but they did not expect that he would speak to break the silence at this time.

Gu Liang turned to look at Wang Yong and saw that he was looking to the left and right but hesitated to speak, so he dismissed everyone except Tang Youzhi.

The hall fell silent, and Wang Yong said cautiously: "Master Hou, the young master has specifically told me before, please never come to the battlefield in person."

Gu Liang showed a happy smile and still asked: "Why?"

Wang Yong glanced at Tang Youzhi, then lowered his head and said: "The young master said that the Queen Mother in the palace can't let go of some things, and her majesty may also take action secretly. If the marquis goes to the battlefield in person, he may encounter cold arrows from behind. The young master also

He said that he absolutely trusts the military judgment of the Marquis, but the generals of the Western Army are all available, and there is no need for the Marquis to go into battle in person. Please just sit in the rear and coordinate the overall situation for the sake of your family."

Tang Youzhi couldn't help but sigh, and said sincerely: "Military Master, you must be on guard against others. What Duke Wei Guo said is not unreasonable. This battle can be sent to the northern front by your subordinates."

Gu Liang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Brother Tang Xian, you and I both started as small soldiers. We should know the duties of soldiers of our generation."

Tang Youzhi understood the profound meaning of this sentence. He wanted to continue to persuade but was unable to speak. He could only sigh: "Yes."

Gu Liang looked at Tang Youzhi and said sincerely: "If you are not the governor of Lingzhou, of course you can be the commander of this battle, but now the governor's office cannot do without you, and you need to handle the logistical support of the Western Army."

He raised his brows and began to look down at the world with a sharp look: "The beginning of the battle can only be won but not defeated. If I hesitate to move forward because of women's suspicions, how can I live up to the trust of the court, how to live up to the expectations of the soldiers, and how to live up to the expectations of Gu?

The loyalty and bravery of hundreds of people from four generations of my family who died on the battlefield?"

Tang Youzhi and Wang Yong were both silent.

Gu Liang inserted the basswood wood in the northwest corner of the sand table, smiled lightly, turned and left.
