The two looked at each other and laughed.
"It's time we cleaned up the Mauryas too."
Li Jing turned and left the top of the mountain.
In the plateau military camp.
Many generals were summoned by Li Jing, and they were all very excited.
They were all discussing the destruction of Japan. The order to massacre the country had spread from Japan to the plateau war zone. Many soldiers had a new understanding of Bai Qi's reputation for evil.
But they were equally happy about victories in other directions.
"Everyone, we have been preparing for a long time. The other war zones have been pacified, and the five major legions have set out. Now it's just us. Now I will tell you about the battle arrangements."
Li Jing unfolded the map he had prepared for a long time.
After entering the plateau war zone and repelling the large-scale attack launched by the Maurya Empire, Li Jing did not pursue the victory, but chose to keep his troops in place.
His fighting style is to plan before fighting, and win first and then fight.
These days, he has been sending spies to investigate the deployment of the Maurya Empire's troops and secretly formulate offensive tactics.
"Our battle lines against the Maurya Empire are divided into three directions: east, central, and west. Yu Du will lead the central sector, Xu Huang will lead the eastern sector, and Huang Zhong will lead the western sector.
Ma Chao, you lead a unit of light cavalry, bypass the mountains, and attack the city of Kashmir in the west, and then bypass the plains and head towards the city of Mathura.
Huang Zhong led the western troops and took the western route to attack Savatthi, attracting the enemy's garrison in Mathura.
Xu Huang led the Eastern Army to attack Mengjia City and approached Rajgir City.
Yu Du led the central army to attack Kapilavastu. After taking it, he marched to intimidate Kushinagar and headed towards Vaishali.
Our target is Pataliputra, the capital of the Maurya Empire. The Maurya Empire's army is not strong, even weaker than the bandits' combat effectiveness, so we must march at the fastest speed.
The righteous armies of the twelve cities are divided into three groups. All the righteous armies of the three eastern cities will enter the Maurya Empire area through the Yantag Valley..."
Li Jing arranged the tactical goals of all the generals very clearly.
"Ma Chao, lead the light cavalry in a surprise attack. If you encounter the Mauryas' giant elephants, do not fight to the death but retreat immediately. Focus on harassment and secondary on killing the enemy. Do not take prisoners or spoils."
"Huang Zhong, Yu Du, and Xu Huang, the three of you, take note. I've investigated and found that the people of the Maurya Empire consider cattle sacred. Within their territory, countless demonic cattle exist. Whenever you capture a place, you must gather these cattle; they will be of great use to me."
"Remember, the attack on the Maurya Empire begins at noon two days from now. You must mobilize all your troops to invade the plains of the Maurya Empire within one day. The nights on the plateau are cold and there are no camps. Do not linger in the valleys or highlands. If you cannot leave the valley, you must make a decisive decision and find a sheltered place to set up camp and wait for daybreak."
"I will obey your orders."
Many generals in the field received orders in unison.
