    "I received information that Dashi sent people to send Damascus knives and iron iron to Mochu, as well as a group of craftsmen. I guess that Dashi wanted to help Mochu build siege equipment. With these tools, Mochu  In the coming year, we will go south in a big way, capture the three surrendered cities, and drive our army south of the Yellow River." Li Longji pressed his right hand on the map, and then analyzed: "The Turks are short of iron and have no siege equipment, so they can still fight in the field.  , when it comes to attacking the city, there is nothing we can do. However, with these equipment, the situation is different. The defense of the three cities must be strengthened. I plan to use Mochu's eagerness to capture the three cities to defeat the Turks.  People's energy was consumed in surrendering the three cities.

    "After dragging down the Turks, our army will attack and annihilate them. Of course, while fighting a war of attrition with the Turks, our army should boldly penetrate behind the Turks, reach the designated area, and hide  Assemble. As soon as the three surrendered cities are secured, launch an attack immediately and surround the Turks from all sides. This is my best strategy!"

    The surrender of the three cities was very important to the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. The three cities were the Tang Dynasty¡¯s foothold on the north bank of the Yellow River.  If it is lost, the Tang army will have no choice but to retreat to the south bank of the Yellow River.  Losing these three cities, the Tang Dynasty would have no foothold on the north bank of the Yellow River, and would not be able to use it as a springboard to attack deep into the desert. From a strategic point of view, the threat to the Turks would be greatly reduced.

    If the Turks capture and surrender the three cities, then the Turks can return to Monan and have a place to establish themselves here.  Moreover, it can be used as a springboard to launch an attack near Youzhou, which strategically poses a serious threat to the north of the Tang Dynasty.

    Youzhou was the most important strategic base of the Tang Dynasty in the North. Both the North and Liaodong had to rely on Youzhou for supplies.  Not to mention that conquering Youzhou would threaten Youzhou and make the Tang Dynasty restless. It would be a huge victory.

    Having spent his whole life fighting silently, he is as cunning as a fox. Even a shrewd person like Wu Zetian would be fooled by him and would not be able to see this.  In the past, the Hou Turks repeatedly attacked and surrendered the three cities without success. The biggest reason was that the Hou Turks did not have siege equipment.  If he gets support from Dashi and possesses siege equipment, Mo Chuo will definitely come to attack and surrender the three cities.

    This is the great thing Li Longji has been dreaming of!

    Using the mentality of silently sipping, consuming the vigor and strength of the post-Turks in the surrendered three cities, and then launching a decisive battle would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji's idea was very good.

    Zhang Shougui thought for a while and said: "The emperor's idea is very good, and I agree with it. There is only one thing, the supply of the interspersed armies is a big problem. Going deep into the grassland is not a problem, and hiding is not a problem. The only problem is how to feed the soldiers.  ? There is no shortage of grass or water in the desert, only food."

    As expected of a general who has been in the north for a long time, he got an idea.  Yao Chong nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, what General Zhang said is absolutely true."

    Li Longji did not answer, but looked at Chen Wanrong and asked, "How do you want to solve it?"

    Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to solve this problem. Just bring more horses and carry food. When marching on the prairie, the cavalry is very fast. It is not a problem to travel three to two hundred miles in a day. Just  For the cavalry, it only takes three to five days to reach the designated area. Including deployment and rest, it will take about seven days. In other words, it only takes seven or eight days before the decisive battle is launched.

    "Such a large-scale war cannot be fought in less than five or seven days. One person only needs to prepare enough rations for half a month. If it doesn't work, he can still kill the horses to maintain them. A cavalryman has three horses.  One for riding, one for resting, and one for carrying rations and equipment, I think this problem can be completely solved."

    The battle with the Post-Turks is inevitable, and Chen Wanrong is always thinking of countermeasures.

    As soon as the words were spoken, Li Longji, Yao Chong and Zhang Shougui all clapped their hands in agreement: "Well said!"

    Li Longji smiled and said: "What you said is what I think. I want to send a hundred thousand cavalry in the next year, divided into two groups, to copy the back roads of the Turks. Give them three horses each, and carry them all with food and drink.  . The Turkic horse meat not only quenches thirst and hunger, but is also easy to preserve, so it is very useful in the desert. The soldiers in the north are also used to eating horse meat. I have ordered that they be made in large quantities. By then, one person will  Bring a few leather bags, which will be enough for them to drink. Add some dried meat and steamed buns, and it will last for half a month."

    Horse milk nomads love to drink it. It is made from mare's milk, which not only quenches thirst but also relieves hunger. It is very helpful for marching and fighting.  With this thing, the Tang army would be even more powerful.

    Yao Chong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, there are not enough official horses, so we need to bring private horses into the army. The court should immediately issue an order to encourage soldiers to bring private horses into the army."

    "This is your business." Li Longji actually gave up.

    The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han DynastyHe is of good moral character and specially recruited for our artillery.  "

    "You got an advantage and still act like a good boy!" Ge Fushun was very unhappy.

    Chen Wanrong continued: "General Ge, this is General Zhang Shougui."

    "Oops! It turns out to be General Zhang! Ge Fushun has heard of your name for a long time, and he has been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, but he has never been able to do so. I have offended you just now, and I ask General Zhang to forgive me." A person's name, the shadow of a tree,  When Ge Shunfu heard that it was the famous Zhang Shougui, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Regardless of etiquette, he embraced Zhang Shougui in a bear hug, as if meeting old friends, and kept beating him on the back.

    They are all generals, and they like straight men. Zhang Shougui was not surprised by Ge Fushun's behavior at all. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "General Ge is serious. I hear the name Longwu Army every day, and I have long wanted to see it."  , When I saw it today, it turned out to be extraordinary. At least, there is no problem with a reckless person like me."

    "Haha!" Ge Fushun laughed endlessly: "If General Zhang doesn't feel relieved, I'll treat you!"

    Zhang Shougui¡¯s name was really resounding, so Yang Sixu came over to meet him.  When the two met, Wang Shaohua clasped his fists and said, "General Zhang, do you still recognize me?"

    "General Wang! Haha! We meet again." Zhang Shougui was overjoyed, hugged Wang Shaohua and said with a smile: "Who among the brothers in the North doesn't know that General Wang who dares to kill his boss?"

    Wang Shaohua laughed and said: "Back then, if the general hadn't helped me, I would have been killed long ago!"

    "Well done! That guy is so annoying. If you don't kill him, I will kill him too!" Zhang Shougui's army has strict military discipline and cannot stand the idea of ??killing civilians and risking military merit.

    Chen Wanrong patted Ge Fushun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General Ge, does the sun come out in the west? You have never set foot on the artillery training ground, why do you stay here today and don't leave? Let me tell you,  It's useless for you to stay here, they are still artillery, not the Longwu Army."

    Ge Fushun is always unhappy with the fact that he always recruits troops from the Longwu Army.  I was so angry that I would not come to any place where there were artillery.  Ever since Chen Wanrong came up with the idea of ??sending the Longwu Army to the battlefield in batches, his attitude towards the artillery has made a 180-degree turn, and he came to take a look whenever he had time.

    "The artillery is also part of our Longwu Army. I can come whenever I want! Can you take care of it?" Ge Fushun rolled his eyes and looked very proud.  (To be continued.
