Chapter 5007

All the border cities they can go to are marked on the map, including the troops deployed in each border city they inquire about.

Looking at this map, everyone can see it at a glance.

"Are you sure the information you inquired about is accurate? The troops of these cities are only 10000?" When General Liu saw the troops marked on it, he immediately frowned and was full of questions.

From the map, just as they thought at the beginning, heavy troops were indeed deployed in the eastern border cities, and there were almost 500000 troops in each city.

But all those cities that are biased towards the north-south direction have only deployed 10000 troops, which is really doubtful.

What's the use of these 10000 troops? What's the difference between that and no troops?

"General, this should not be wrong. These data are the result of repeated confirmation by his subordinates. Even if this data is not 100% accurate, I believe the difference between these data will not be very large." Vice General Wang affirmed.

"General, I think as a border town, only 10000 people are stationed. If it is in ordinary times, this data is really unconvincing!

However, I think it is reasonable that such a situation should occur now because of the special period when war will break out at any time.

After all, the strength of the eastern border town has reached 500000. In the past, the strength of a border town was almost 100000 or 200000.

Obviously, they have gathered the troops of other border cities to the East, which are most likely to be attacked by us. " Deputy General Xu analyzed.

"If so, how can we attack the eastern cities now? Let's just choose one of these border cities with only 10000 troops.

With only 10000 troops, we can minimize our losses. It can even be said that we can attack the city and pool with our eyes closed. " Deputy general Xia said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. Take a closer look. The border cities with many troops are closest to us. The border cities without many troops are far away from us.

If we want to attack these border cities with few troops, even the nearest border city above, it will take us almost two months.

After such a long time, when we arrive, I'm afraid it's not just 10000 troops. " General Liu looked at the marks on the map, thought about it and said.

In his opinion, it is unrealistic to attack those border cities that seem to have no defenders.

"According to the general's idea, he is ready to attack these border cities that have garrisoned 500000 troops? Anyway, it is also 500000 troops. If you say more or less, it is not less.

If we really want to fight, we can't take it down at once, and it will also cause certain losses to us.

What worries me more is that once we fight with them, before we destroy them, I'm afraid they will soon have reinforcements.

At that time, we may no longer face 500000 troops, but probably millions. " The Deputy generals obviously did not support General Liu's idea, and even expressed great concern.

Although they have five million troops, they are ten times as powerful as each other. But when the war really started, half a million troops could not be destroyed.

By the time they destroy the 500000 troops, maybe other people's reinforcements have arrived.

What if millions of reinforcements come then?

Aren't they completely pinned down?

"Yes, general, although other border cities are a little far away, I don't think the risk is so great. Moreover, we can send an advance team to attack the city first.

However, we can easily seize the city by sending tens of thousands of people.

After all, tens of thousands of people are fast. They can reach the nearest border town in a month at most.

Once the border town is broken, it is equivalent to opening a gap in the Danqing outer court. When we enter it, it will not be so easy for Danqing foreign court to deal with us again. " Deputy General Xu suggested.

"General, if our strength is not strong enough, we can make a diversion. First send an advance team to the southern border city, and we secretly go to the northern border city.

At that time, the southern advance team will be arranged to attack the city first, and Danqing foreign court will certainly send reinforcements to the south for support. And we took this opportunity to invade Danqing from the north, so we don't have to worry about a large number of reinforcements coming to hinder us? " Vice General Wang also put forward his own ideas.

General Liu didn't speak. Both their proposals were feasible.

The risk of going to war with 500000 troops must be greater, and the losses will be much greater.

If we can invade the territory of Danqing foreign court from those border cities with only 10000 garrisons, it is naturally the most cost-effective.

But what he was worried about was Danqing's foreign reinforcements.

After all, Danqing's foreign court knows that their internal court has dispatched five million troops this time. If they have reinforcements, it is estimated that the troops will not be less.

So once they encounter these reinforcements, they may have to fight a fierce battle.

However, Deputy General Wang's proposal is a good supplement to Deputy General Xu's plan. If there is a sound of East-West attack and an advance team is used to support Danqing's reinforcements from the foreign court first, the next action will be very easy.

"Do you think it's feasible for deputy Wang to beat around the Bush?" General Liu asked.

"I think we can try, but how many people should the advance team send? If there are too many people, it will not only weaken our strength, but also increase the risk of revealing our whereabouts." Deputy general Xia said.

"No! I think since this advance team is to attract the army of Danqing foreign court, we should not hide their whereabouts, but expose them." Deputy General Xu retorted.

"General Xu, I'm afraid I can't agree!" Vice General Wang also refuted Vice General Xu's idea.

"What does general Wang think?" Deputy General Xu doesn't think there is anything wrong. Since everyone has ideas, now they are put forward, which can be regarded as brainstorming.

"I think that although this advance army is to attract Danqing's foreign reinforcements, we can't let them know our whereabouts before we occupy the border city.

Otherwise, they know how many people there are in our advance team, and they will certainly not mobilize a large number of reinforcements to the south.

They will even see our real intention, and our plan will be completely ruined. " Deputy General Wang said.

"I'm really careless. General Wang's idea is really reasonable. But after you remind me, I also think that General Wang's plan is not perfect!" Vice General Xu nodded his head while listening to Vice General Wang's words. When the other party finished, he also immediately said.

"General Xu, please say!" Vice General Wang didn't care and was very curious.

"General Wang just said that our advance army went to the south, while we secretly went to the north, right?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Deputy General Wang nodded and asked.

"I didn't expect it before, but General Wang's words just reminded me. It's not easy for our five million troops to hide their whereabouts, so even if our advance army hid their whereabouts and successfully captured the border city.

But the rest of us are still nearly five million. How can such a large army hide its destination in the north?

More importantly, we are now estimated to have been targeted by the agents of Danqing foreign court.

It's basically impossible to go to the North quietly. " Vice General Xu asked.

"Listen to General Xu, do you have a better plan?" Vice General Wang's doubts about Vice General Xu can't be denied.

It's really difficult for five million troops to hide their whereabouts.

Moreover, after they stayed here for so long, it is estimated that the agents of Danqing foreign court have already found them.

If you want to go to the northern destination under the eyes of these spies, I'm afraid it's meaningless. People have been ready for them in the north for a long time.

"I did think of a way, that is, take the plan!" Deputy General Xu said with a smile.

"What to do? How to do it?" The generals frowned.

The two people were more and more confused when they asked and answered. They just felt that the current situation seemed to be very unfavorable to them, and it was impossible to complete the task.

"Anyway, we can't hide so many troops. Since we can't hide, let them know our whereabouts generously." Deputy General Xu said.

"And then?"

"Look at this map. Xiangzhou city and Wujiang City in the south are not too far away. It is estimated that it will be about half a month.

Then why don't we use this to create a false appearance for Danqing foreign court. Let them think that our five million troops are going to attack Xiangzhou City, which is a little closer to us.

But in fact, when we arrived near Xiangzhou City, we only sent an advance army of more than 100000 and 200000 to attack the city.

The rest of us continue to march to Wujiang City, which is our goal.

When they helped Xiangzhou City, we were already attacking Wujiang City. What do you think? " Vice General Xu asked.

"This idea is more reliable than the separation of troops from the north and the south. After all, it is really difficult for millions of us to hide.

Moreover, the advance army knows where we are, which can better help us contain the reinforcements of Danqing foreign dynasty! " After hearing this, General Liu said.

"First use five million troops to confuse the attention of Danqing's foreign court, and then use an advance army to divert their attention. This method may be feasible." Vice General Wang agreed.

Compared with his previous idea, this method is indeed less difficult and easier to implement.

"What do you think?" General Liu looked at the other deputy generals.

"We have no objection!" The crowd replied.

"OK, let's go back and get ready. We'll start at dawn tomorrow and go to Xiangzhou city!" General Liu clapped his hands.
