All the border towns they could go to were marked on the map, including the troop deployment in each border town they had found out.

Looking at this map, everyone can see it clearly.

"Are you sure the information you have gathered is accurate? The strength of these cities is only 10,000?" General Liu frowned when he saw the strength marked above, full of doubts.

Judging from the map, as they had originally thought, heavy troops were indeed deployed in the eastern border cities, with almost half a million troops in each city.

However, all the cities facing the north and south directions only deployed 10,000 troops, which really made people suspicious.

What is the use of these 10,000 troops? What's the difference between that and no troops stationed there?

"General, there should be nothing wrong with this. These data are the result of repeated confirmation by my subordinates. Even if this data is not 100% accurate, I believe the difference between these data will not be very big." Vice General Wang said with certainty. .

"General, I think that as a border town, there are only 10,000 people garrisoned. In normal times, this data is indeed a bit unconvincing!

However, I think that since we are in a special period where war can break out at any time, it is reasonable for such a situation to occur.

After all, the strength of the eastern border city has reached 500,000 troops. In the past, the strength of a border city was only about 100,000 or 200,000.

Apparently they have gathered all the forces from other border towns to the eastern border towns that are most likely to be attacked by us. "Vice General Xu analyzed.

"If this is the case, then how can we attack these cities in the east now? Why not just choose one of these border cities with only 10,000 troops.

With only 10,000 troops, we can minimize our losses. It can even be said that we can capture the city with our eyes closed, just like in a deserted place. "Vice General Xia said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily the case. If you take a closer look, these border towns with more troops are closest to us. But the border towns with few troops here are far away from us.

If we want to attack these border towns with few troops, even the nearest border town above, it will take about two months to get there.

After such a long time, by the time we arrive, we will probably have more than 10,000 troops. General Liu looked at the marks on the map, thought for a while and said.

In his view, it was unrealistic to attack border towns that seemed to have no defenders at all.

"What do you think, General Nayi, is preparing to attack these border towns where an army of 500,000 people is already stationed? In any case, it is still an army of 500,000 people. It is not too small to say that it is more, but it is not too small to say that it is less.

If we really want to fight, we won't be able to win it all at once, and it will also cause certain losses to us.

What worries me even more is that once we fight them, before we destroy them, they may have reinforcements arriving soon.

At that time, what we have to face may no longer be an army of 500,000, but probably an army of several million. "The deputy generals obviously did not support General Liu's idea, and even expressed great concern.

Even though they have an army of five million, they are ten times the strength of the opponent. But when the war actually breaks out, the half-million-strong army cannot be wiped out.

By the time they wipe out the 500,000-strong army, reinforcements may have arrived.

What if millions of reinforcements arrive then?

Aren't they completely contained?

"Yes, General, although other border towns are a bit far away, I don't think the risk is that great. Moreover, we can send an advance team to attack the city first.

With only 10,000 troops, we can easily capture the city if we send tens of thousands of troops.

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

Once the border city is broken, it will be equivalent to us opening a gap in Danqing Waichao. Once we enter, it will not be easy for Danqing Waichao to deal with us. "Vice General Xu suggested.

"General, if our strength is not enough, we can attack from the east to the west. First send an advance team to the southern border town, while we secretly head to the northern border town.

When the time comes, the southern advance team will be arranged to attack the city first, and Danqing Waichao will definitely send reinforcements to the south for support. And we took advantage of this opportunity to invade Danqing Waichao 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 did not speak. Both of their proposals were feasible.

The risk of going to war with an army of half a million people is definitely higher, and the losses will be much higher.

If we can invade the territory of Danqing Waichao from those border towns with only 10,000 defenders, it will naturally be the most cost-effective.

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

After all, Danqing and the outer court knew that their inner court had dispatched five million troops this time. If they had reinforcements, the number of troops would probably not be small.

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

However, Lieutenant General Wang's proposal is a very good supplement to Lieutenant General Xu's plan. If there is an east-west attack, and an advance team is used to first push away the reinforcements from Danqing Waichao, then the next action will be very easy. .

"Do you think Vice General Wang's method of attacking from the east to the west is feasible?" General Liu asked.

"I think we can give it a try, but how many people should be sent to this advance team? If there are too many people, it will not only weaken our strength, but also increase the risk of exposing our whereabouts." Deputy General Xia said.

"No! I think that since this advance team is to attract Danqing Waichao's army, then we should not hide their whereabouts, but rather expose them." Vice General Xu retorted.

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

"Then what do you think, General Wang?" Vice General Xu didn't think there was anything wrong. Since everyone has ideas, now they have put them forward, which can be regarded as a brainstorming exercise.

"I think that although this advance force is to attract reinforcements from Danqing, we cannot let them know our whereabouts before we occupy the border town.

Otherwise, if they know how many people there are in our advance team, they will definitely not mobilize a large number of reinforcements to go to the south for support.

They might even see our true intentions, and our plans would be completely ruined. "Vice General Wang said.

"It's true that I was careless. General Wang's idea does make sense. But after you reminded me, I also thought that General Wang's plan was not perfect!" Vice General Xu listened to Vice General Wang's words. While nodding his head, when the other party finished speaking, he immediately spoke.

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

"General Wang just said that our advance army is going to the south, and we are going to the north secretly, right?"

"That's right. Is there any problem with this?" Vice General Wang nodded and asked.

"I didn't expect it before, but General Wang's words just reminded me. It is not easy for our five million army to hide its whereabouts, so even if our advance army hides its whereabouts and successfully captures the border town .

But we still have nearly five million people left. How can such a large army hide its way to the northern destination?

More importantly, we are probably already being targeted by spies from Danqing Waichao.

It is basically impossible to travel to the north quietly. "Vice General Xu asked rhetorically.

"Listen to General Xu, do you have a better plan?" Vice General Wang really had no way to deny Vice General Xu's doubts.

It is indeed difficult for an army of five million to hide their whereabouts.

Moreover, since they have been here for such a long time, it is estimated that the spies from Danqing Waichao have discovered them long ago.

It would be meaningless to go to the northern destination under the noses of these spies. They had already been prepared and waiting for them in the north.

"I did think of a way, which is to take advantage of the situation!" Vice General Xu said with a smile.

"Follow the enemy's plan? How to implement the enemy's plan?" Several generals frowned.

Everyone became more and more confused as they listened to the two men's questions and answers. They just felt that the current situation seemed to be very unfavorable to them and that no matter what they did, it was impossible to complete the task.

"It's impossible to hide our large number of troops anyway. Since we can't hide it, let's just let them know our whereabouts generously." Vice General Xu said.

"Then what?"

“Look at this map, Xiangzhou City and Wujiang City in the south are not too far apart, probably only about half a month.

Then why don't we use this to create a false impression for Danqing Waichao. Let them think that our five million army is going to attack Xiangzhou City, which is closer to us.

But in fact, when we arrived near Xiangzhou City, we only sent an advance army of more than ten or two hundred thousand to attack the city.

The rest of us continue marching to Wujiang City. This is our goal.

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

"Compared to dividing the troops between the north and the south, this idea is indeed more reliable. After all, it is really difficult for us to hide our millions of troops.

Moreover, the advance army knows where we are and can better help us contain the reinforcements from Danqing Waichao! General Liu said after hearing this.

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

"We all have no objections!" everyone replied.

"Okay, everyone go back and get ready. We will set off at dawn tomorrow and head to Xiangzhou City!" General Liu agreed.
