So that's what he did.
It is completely in line with the laws of the Wei Dynasty.
After hearing this, Chen Xian's eyes lit up and he said, "My Lord, are you planning to take action against the grassland tribes?"
He had long known that the Marquis of Champion, when he took up the post of Protector of Gaoyang, would set his sights on the grassland tribes and wanted to cooperate with the old marquis in the north to win a great victory.
Now that he saw that the other party was about to make a move, he could be said to be very excited.
As a soldier, the biggest dream is naturally to fight on the battlefield.
Then make contributions to the country and finally leave your name in history.
And after the last battle of Gaoyang.
Chen Xian was already full of admiration for Song Hongzhi's military advisory talent, and felt that as long as he followed this marquis, he would have many opportunities to achieve success.
After all, the last battle had earned him several promotions and a title. It must be noted that he had been in the army for many years, but this was his first time achieving such an achievement.
In fact, not only Chen Xian, but almost all the soldiers who participated in the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom had this idea.
Because these people all gained a lot of benefits from this battle.
As well as some defenders and garrisons in other places.
They all envied the soldiers who could fight beside Song Hongzhi.
It’s a pity that we can’t envy such things, we can only obey the arrangements of the court.
Song Hongzhi didn't say much, but just looked at Chen Xian and said with a smile: "That's right, but there is still some time before those grassland tribal leaders gather together, so during this period, we should focus on preparations. Once they are all together, we will surely win with one strike!"
A sure win in one strike?
Chen Xian, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this.
He felt a little puzzled. Since he had already grasped the whereabouts of those grassland tribes, shouldn't he understand their plans for the final battle and then use them to counter their moves?
Why did the Marquis directly say that one strike would guarantee victory? What did he mean by that?
Chen Xian couldn't understand and had a puzzled expression on his face.
But in the next moment he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
He immediately said: "My Lord, you mean..."
“That’s right!”
At this time, Song Hongzhi could see that the other party was aware of his plan, so he immediately made no secret of it and said with a smile: "The grassland tribe has an army of 200,000, most of whom are cavalry. They are quite powerful. Even against the elite troops of our Great Wei, they are still stronger."
"The army led by this general is basically composed of the Liaozhen garrison, and these soldiers are not even a little bit inferior to the grassland cavalry."
"The probability of defeating the grassland tribe head-on is extremely small, and in this situation, we must use extraordinary means."
At this point, his eyes gradually grew sharper, and he continued, "Aren't the Khans of the ten major grassland tribes about to gather? These people are the masters of the 200,000-man army. If we want to end this war, we just need to kill or capture them."
"In this way, the 200,000-strong army will be leaderless and will naturally pose no threat. At worst, we can notify the old marquis and have him lead his troops out of the pass for a battle. Then everything will be resolved."
Although Chen Xian roughly knew what the Marquis in front of him was thinking.
But after actually hearing it, I couldn't help but be shocked.
Because what the other party means is very simple.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the Khans of the ten major tribes gathered together, lead his army to attack Huanglong directly, and wipe out all these people.
In this way, even if the grassland has a larger army or more elite cavalry, it will not cause any harm.
Even their own Khan was killed or captured.
What else can we use to fight?
It can be said that this plan is not much different from the previous battle of Gaoyang.
But actually achieving this was a difficult task. For example, the grasslands were vast and directions were difficult to discern. Furthermore, it was not easy to find out where the Khans of the ten major tribes met.
If you lead a large army into the grassland easily, you will most likely get lost and then be buried in the grassland.
However, Chen Xian knew very well that his lord had a very special ability.
Able to identify directions in places without any obvious marks.
This was not his imagination.
But it was something I experienced firsthand during the Battle of Gaoyang.
So, at this moment, he had no objection to this plan.
Yes, but it was just a vague thought in his mind. Because Chen Xian knew very well that as long as this plan succeeded, the pressure on the northern border would be much less in the future, and there would be no more major wars in the next few years.
You know, it's quite rare that there hasn't been a major war in the North for several years.
According to historical books, since the establishment of a unified dynasty in the Central Plains.
Almost every dynasty has been threatened to a greater or lesser extent by the northern grassland tribes.
The weaker ones also need to seek marriage alliances with the grassland tribes or even pay tribute.
But even so, those grassland people would still choose to go south and plunder.
It can be said that every generation of the Central Plains dynasty suffered terribly from this.
Now, the plan implemented by the Marquis.
What an achievement it is to save the people of the northern border from the suffering of war.
As for myself, I just need to follow behind the other party, continue to make achievements, and wait to leave my name in history.
"Alright." At this time, Song Hongzhi spoke again, saying, "Let's leave it at that for now. Just pass on this general's order. Remember, don't let anyone else know about this plan."
"Yes, Lord!" Chen nodded, knowing what to do next.
