The Military-political Hall was located in a separate courtyard. The interior was divided into the front, middle and back courtyards, and the front courtyard was where the Military-political Hall staff worked.
Tang Yin brought Qiu Zhen and the others to the front courtyard and entered the room. It was extremely busy with dozens of people discussing military affairs in low voices. Some people were drawing up maps and writing documents, while some others were entering and exiting from the teleportation gate.
Seeing Tang Yin walking in, everyone in Military-political Hall immediately put down what they were doing and respectfully cupped their hands in greeting. They said in unison: "This humble subject greets the King!"
Tang Yin waved his hand towards the crowd, signalling for them to dispense with the formalities. He then asked: "Where is Master Gu?"
This humble official is here!" Following a cautious reply, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, a white face and black beard, and a scholarly look that was full of books, came running out from the room. His name was Gu Yuan, and he was the head of the Military Administration Hall.
Before she entered the Military Academy, he had always been a subordinate of Directly Subordinate Army, serving as the strategist of the army. Later, when Feng Country was established, he had voluntarily asked Wu Ying to retreat and request to enter the Military Academy.
At that time and even now, those who had become strategists rarely chose to retreat and study further. After all, after leaving the military academy, they would still be assigned to the military as strategists. The result would be the same, wasting several years of time.
For a nation like Feng Country that fought year after year, wasting a few years was equivalent to wasting countless opportunities to advance, so no one would be foolish enough to do so.
Of course, his choice was extremely correct as well. When he was in the army, he had already gained a rich amount of combat experience, and in the military academy, he had also systematically learnt all kinds of military concepts, which was the reason why his theory and practice was the most perfect representation of him. It was precisely because of this that Tang Yin had taken a liking to him from the many talented people present, allowing him to be the main advisor of Military-political Hall.
Right now, the Military-political Hall still belonged to a new organization and the rank of the Military-political Hall that he was the head of wasn't considered high. But not long after, when the Military-political Hall became the general plotting ground for all sorts of military operations within the Feng Army, Gu Yuan also rose in power and became one of the core figures within the Feng Country army.
Tang Yin nodded towards Gu Yuan, then said: "Master Gu, take out the battle plan for Military-political Hall out for Minister Zuo and all the generals to see."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Gu Yuan bowed, turned sideways and said, "Great King and the generals, please have a talk in the inner chamber!"
Following Gu Yuan into the inner room, everyone looked around. Although this was called an inner room, the area was not any smaller than the outside. However, the range of movement was pitifully small. The main reason was that the center of the room was occupied by two long tables.
On these two tables, there were detailed models, mountains, rivers, forests, and even lifelike town. After everyone looked at it, they couldn't help but praise it in their hearts: What a beautiful sand table! Basically all of them had participated in the first Feng Mo Battle, so with a glance at the appearance of the sand table, they could immediately tell, one of them was Sishui County, and the other was Zeping County.
Without even looking at the battle plans on Military-political Hall, with just looking at the two trays placed on the ground, everyone already understood that the main focus of this second match would still be the two counties, Sishui and the two counties.
Very quickly, Gu Yuan took out the plan that the Military-political Hall had drawn up for everyone to see. The content within the plan was the preliminary battle of the Feng Army against Mo Xie.
Although there was a two counties sand table placed in the inner room, the plan did not touch the Sishui at all, as the main target was the battle inside the Zeping County.
Waiting until everyone had watched the battle from the beginning to end, Xiao Muqing revealed a suspicious look on his face as he asked: "Based on this strategy, can it be that our army will give up on Sishui, and fight only when Zeping and Mo Army?"
Tang Yin did not speak, and silently looked at Gu Yuan. Waiting for him to answer, Xiao Muqing asked the same question that he wanted to ask.
Gu Yuan nodded his head, and said: "Right now, our Mo Country have been heavily guarded by both the Sishui and the Zeping, and we also have the ability to command them. If our army were to attack the Sishui and the Zeping at the same time, and if we still have to battle the Ning Country and the Mo Country, then our country will become a three-line war, and we will end up in the same situation as we did in the previous battle. Due to the lesson from last time, Military-political Hall recommended that we choose Sishui and Zeping for one. We will concentrate all of our power and forcefully attack the ground, making the first battle our final battle.
Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment and did not comment. This kind of general strategy and strategy was not something he was good at.
He then asked: "Even if Sishui and Zeping have to be chosen either, then why not Zeping? It must be known, Master Lu was killed in Sishui, so when our army sent out our Sishui, all the soldiers held the heart of revenge and shame, and our morale was definitely high. "
Gu Yuan laughed and said: "General Xiao, actually, we have different opinions on whether we should attack with Sishui or not. From this subordinate's perspective, Sishui is undoubtedly a heavy ground, and its County Head is the main culprit behind the deaths of the Master Lu, but it is, after all, located in the northwest of Mo Country, and is originally from the capital of the Mo Country, so even if our forces were to push our Sishui to its peak, it would not be a fatal threat to our Mo Country. However, Zeping County is different, as long as our forces occupy the Zeping, it will be equivalent to tearing our defensive lines from the center.
Xiao Muqing did not hesitate to ask about the Sishui, and only asked casually. Hearing Gu Yuan's logical explanation, he was obviously an expert in it, so he did not say anymore.
Tang Yin chuckled on the side, and asked everyone: "What do you think of Military-political Hall's overall strategy?"
Xiao Muqing replied: "Reasonable. This general thinks it's feasible."
Peng Haochu, Zuo Shuang and the other generals nodded in agreement, "Zeping is indeed a superior move. At the very least, the strategic position of the Zeping is way more important than that of the Sishui."
"However, the Mo Country is also on guard against our actions. It's been reported that the number of people in the army with Mo Army is no more than four hundred thousand, and it's far more than just Sishui. It's not easy to fight someone with Zeping, and the casualties must be great as well." Liang Qi said worriedly.
Gu Yuan said: "We have discussed this point of Military-political Hall and decided to use Battle-tested Army as the vanguard of our army. We will focus on the battle of Zeping."
Everyone present looked at each other, but did not say anything. Military-political Hall deciding to send Battle-tested Army to attack Zeping may be a tactical tactic, but even more of the reason is probably to curry favor with the King.
Battle-tested Army was a division of the pure People of Zhen Country, with a total of four hundred thousand members present. The reason he had sent Battle-tested Army was to first test the fighting strength of the People of Zhen Country, and most importantly, to reduce the amount of Battle-tested Army that the King had in store for him.2
This was clearly a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. It looked like it wasn't in vain for Military-political Hall people to give it to him!
Sure enough, after listening to Gu Yuan's suggestion, Tang Yin nodded his head and said: "This is a good idea! There are four hundred thousand people in Battle-tested Army, and with the People of Zhen Country Army as well, they have always been valiant and good fighters on the battlefield.
Liang Qi snickered in his heart, his expression did not change at all. He asked: "I wonder what the Military-political Hall is doing to the reinforcements at the back?"
"Pingyuan Army and Feilong Army will form the rear, if Battle-tested Army fails in the front, Pingyuan Army and Feilong Army can be used as reinforcements, in addition ?" As he spoke to here, Gu Yuan looked at Tang Yin and said in a low voice: "Since Mo Country's cavalry is extremely powerful, our army's best method is to use our own Heavy Cavalry to counter them. Therefore, we may still use our own Ninth Regiment in the battle of Zeping."
As Ninth Regiment was currently the only Cavalry Regiment, and extremely precious in everyone's eyes, Gu Yuan was extremely cautious in sending Ninth Regiment onto the battlefield.
Tang Yin laughed when he heard this, and said: "The army was established to fight, and not to scare people off. This time, we can only win, we cannot lose. Let alone using our Ninth Regiment, even if we have to bring down the entire nation's power, we don't care at all! "
Gu Yuan's spirits were lifted as he said, "Since the King is so determined, we can do as we please."
Tang Yin said: "This time, I still want to personally go to the Mo Country. You must remember, to arrange for Directly Subordinate Army to also be part of the army that is going to battle."
"This ?" The war against Mo was not a small war, and logically speaking, it was not suitable for the king to personally participate in such a large-scale war. If an accident happened on the battlefield, then the entire country would be thrown into turmoil, and the entire army would be thrown into chaos, which would be too high of a risk.
Seeing him speechless for a long time, Tang Yin asked: "What? Lord Gu thinks that I cannot go out to fight? "
"No, no, no! This humble subject does not dare! However, this humble subject feels that the journey is a long one. If the King were to head there, I fear that ? To hold up the government! " Gu Yuan came out of the Directly Subordinate Army, so he naturally knew about Tang Yin's character. He knew that liked to charge into battle, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only try to persuade him.
