Du Qi thought for a moment and asked, "The King of Jieri's overall military strength is indeed quite tyrannical. However, the Brahmin and Kshatriya's strength is nothing to be afraid of. How is the King of Jieri's strength divided? "
Shangguan Yi continued, "If we are to talk about the King of Jieri's military strength, the most important force is the elephant soldiers, a total of sixty thousand elephant soldiers. This time, there were at least close to ten thousand giant elephants. After all, each giant elephant can carry a few or even a dozen people. In addition, there are about twenty thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry. "
Du Qi said, "The King of Jieri's infantry is nothing to worry about. The main thing is the enemy's elephant soldiers and cavalry. We have to be more cautious in dealing with them and can't make any mistakes. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is right."
Du Qi ordered, "Men, summon Lai Ji, Ma Zhou, Guan Zhilan, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang for a meeting."
"Yes!"
The soldiers outside the hall immediately went to pass on the order.
Lai Ji and the others were handling matters in the palace, so the three of them were the first to arrive. Soon after, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang also entered the hall. After arriving, everyone took their seats in the hall.
Du Qi looked around at everyone and directly said that the King of Jieri had already sent troops north, and along the way, the Brahmin and Kshatriya had gathered. After the general information was explained, Du Qi continued, "What do you all think about resisting and dealing with the King of Jieri?"
Lai Ji said, "Your Majesty, this subject has a plan."
Du Qi said, "What plan?"
Lai Ji's eyes were sharp as he said, "The King of Jieri has sent troops north from Qunv City, and there are more than a hundred thousand of them. With the Brahmin and Kshatriya troops, we can conclude that the King of Jieri's rear is definitely empty. Whether it is Qunv City or other places, they will all be in the same situation, in a situation where their forces are empty. "
"The Jieri Dynasty's interior is empty of troops, which is the perfect opportunity for us to act."
"This subject suggests that we arrange for people to infiltrate the King of Jieri's rear and incite the people to rebel against the Brahmin and Kshatriya and seize the cities. Even if we can't cut off King Jieri's retreat, even if we can't control the city, we can at least disrupt the rear and even cut off King Jieri's food supply. "
Lai Ji said said said said, "As long as the plan succeeds, this battle will be easy."
Lai Ji had given a lot of thought to this battle plan. After all, he had been thinking about infiltration of Jieri's days. As long as the King of Jieri sent out troops, there would be enough opportunity.
Du Qi said in a low voice, "Then, have you considered who to infiltrate?"
Lai Ji didn't need to think and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the infiltration this time will not be led by our people. Because our people's speech and actions are not fluent, it will be very inconvenient. "
"This subject believes that we can arrange for Vadhara's son, Amir, to go."
"This subject understands Governor Vadhara. His son, Amir, has a pure nature and is quite compassionate. Before the caste system was abolished, he always sympathized with the people at the bottom and hoped to improve their treatment. "
"This matter was opposed at the time," Lai Ji said.
"Because of his views, many people in Kenpo Province didn't like Amir's views. They believed that Amir didn't have the characteristics of a ruler and wasn't even fit to be the successor of Kenpo Province."
"However, Amir is extremely smart and can adapt at will."
"So, arranging for him to go to King of Jieri's rear and be in charge of dealing with the Brahmin and Kshatriya matters is absolutely feasible. In addition, Governor Vadhara's Chief Inspector Devadatta can also be arranged. "
"These are all talents."
Lai Ji said solemnly, "In short, the plan this time is to use the people around Vadhara as the main force and let the locals of Tianzhu infiltrate various places to instigate."
After hearing this, Du Qi praised, "Lai Ji's plan is feasible. I personally discussed this plan with Vadhara."
Lai Ji took a step back and returned to his position.
Du Qi said, "What other suggestions do you have?"
Su Dingfang said, "Your Majesty, this subject has a plan."
Du Qi said, "Let's hear it."
Su Dingfang's expression was solemn as he said seriously, "Your Majesty, this subject's suggestion is for King of Jieri to lead the army north and head towards the capital of Jiantuo Province. We will lead the army to battle and set up camp 16 li southwest of the capital."
"16 li southwest, there is a mountainous area called Mogao Mountain. This terrain is similar to the Niulan Mountain at the border of Guazhou. The official road at the foot of Mogao Mountain is the only way for King of Jieri to go north. We will set up camp at Mogao Mountain and block King of Jieri's army. Because it is a mountainous area, King of Jieri's elephant soldiers won't be of much use. "
"The enemy's army will definitely be blocked at Mogao Mountain and can only set up camp temporarily."
"This subject's ultimate goal is to wait for King of Jieri to set up camp before taking action. Although they have a large number of elephant soldiers, they usually listen to orders. However, we will attack them and bombard them with cannon fire. Under the continuous explosions of gunpowder, the earth will shake and the mountains will shake. At that time, the elephants will be frightened and will definitely run around. "
Su Dingfang said, "Think about it, with close to 10,000 elephants running around, King of Jieri's army camp will definitely be in chaos and completely out of control. Then we can take advantage of the chaos in the elephant herd and defeat King Jieri's army in one fell swoop. "
"Wonderful!"
After Du Qi heard this, he smiled and said, "What do you think about Su Dingfang's suggestion?"
Xue Rengui said, "This subject agrees."
Guan Zhilan said, "This subject agrees."
Lai Ji and Ma Zhou also nodded in agreement because Su Dingfang's suggestion was very feasible. With Du Qi's army having the advantage of weapons, this could be arranged.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, this subject agrees with General Su's suggestion. However, this subject thinks that we can have more schemes and supplement the entire plan. "
Du Qi said, "How do you plan to supplement it?"
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, if our army moves to the front line of Mogao Mountain, we can create a void in the prefecture capital. Although countless Brahmin and Kshatriya people have been killed, countless people have gathered in the prefecture capital recently. "
"It is difficult to determine the identities of many people."
"Perhaps there are Brahmin and Kshatriya spies, or perhaps there are people from these castes. At this point, we need to take this one step further and capture all of them in one fell swoop. "
Shangguan Yee opened her mouth and said, "The emptiness in the capital is the best opportunity. Once our army leaves, they will definitely see the opportunity and choose to make a move. "
A bright light flashed through Du Qi's eyes when he heard this, and he praised, "Shangguan Yee's plan makes a lot of sense. Even though we've already slaughtered and eliminated most of the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, there will always be some that slip through the net. Moreover, we did not implicate ordinary Brahmin people last time. This time, we will test them again and see what they decide. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi said, "Since the plan is clear, then we will proceed according to it. When King of Jieri's army arrives, we will prepare to move out. For now, all of you can go and deal with your own matters. "
Everyone acknowledged in unison.
After everyone left, Du Qi arranged for someone to call for Vadhara, who had just left, not long ago. The instigation of rebellion involved the people around Vadhara, and required Vadhara's cooperation. Otherwise, it would not be easy to proceed.
Vadhara entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty summoned me. What instructions do you have for me?"
