Chapter 754 Wu Yong: This is what a qualified military advisor does!
"What do eldest brother and the military advisor think?"
Time was running out, and after Gao Qiu and Cai Jing were in place, they had to integrate all parties. Li Yan only stayed in Juyi Hall for less than half an hour before he said goodbye and left, riding on the lion Cong and heading north to Cangzhou.
But it was this short half-hour that deeply touched Wu Yong.
Except for Han Jinsun who was absent-minded, the others also showed their thoughts. They had just sent this person away and immediately gathered in front of Chao Gai and Wu Yong to ask.
Chao Gai opened his mouth and seemed to understand a lot for a while, but he couldn't say anything. He looked at Wu Yong: "What do you think, the military advisor?"
Wu Yong put down his feather fan: "Master Lin is considering the overall situation of the war between the two countries, and everything he said is based on this..."
He took a deep breath and began to translate in detail: "This time the Liao Kingdom went south, no matter what the banner was, it was an invasion that broke the alliance. The purpose was nothing more than to occupy the land east of Hebei and Hedong and then search for wealth!"
"If the newly enthroned Emperor Tianzuo is arrogant and arrogant, he may want to attack the city of Bianjing and complete the vision that the former Liao Empress Dowager Xiao and the Liao Shengzong failed to realize!"
"The Liao people are the most powerful in cavalry. They are good at field battles and not good at attacking cities. The Northern Army must be stationed in major cities and fortresses to resist the Liao people's attacks. They have no time to care about the outside of the city. The north of Daming Mansion will naturally become the hunting ground of the Khitans.
, all food and grass supplies come from it.”
"Therefore, it is useless to simply cut off the Liao people's food transportation route. Back then, the two hundred thousand troops marched thousands of miles alone and fought all the way to the Chanyuan, but they were not hindered by supplies. It was precisely because they ravaged the entire Hebei, looting three feet and slaughtering countless people.
"
"Under this situation, Mr. Lin clearly grasped the key points when he trained the township corps."
"If the army and the people in all the major towns can unite as one and defend the city without any hindrance, then the Liao people will be frustrated if they are frustrated in the countryside. This battle will be won."
"If the Northern Army has no courage and makes mistakes even when defending the city, the Rural Corps will have to take over the task at the critical moment and shoulder the heavy military responsibility. There is still a chance to turn defeat into victory in this battle."
Upon hearing this, Chao Gai was puzzled: "If the Northern Army is defeated, can a mere rural soldier achieve great things?"
Lei Heng also said: "Aren't you as brave as the forest heroes like me?"
"The key is discipline."
Wu Yongdao: "Perhaps when fighting in small numbers, the rural soldiers are indeed not as brave as us in the green forest. But facing the regular army, the strong men in the green forest are loose and lax, just like a mob, but the rural soldiers are much easier to train... The best thing is that Mr. Lin first
Training Cangzhou rural soldiers."
Zhu Tong asked curiously: "What does this mean? Isn't Cangzhou a border?"
Wu Yong reminded: "Cangzhou's low terrain and crisscrossed valleys are enough to block the Liao people's desire to go south. However, because of this, Cangzhou has the largest population in Hebei's counties. The Liao people will definitely go there to plunder when they go south this time."
food."
Chao Gai suddenly realized: "In the face of a small number of enemy troops, rural soldiers can give full play to their advantages. If they collapse in a single charge and lose morale, there will be no training."
Wu Yong nodded: "That's right! After a hundred years of peace, once a war starts, you can't have too high expectations for morale. If you lose at the beginning, it will often be a complete defeat with no possibility of recovery. Only by nourishing your morale through war can you increase your fighting spirit.
high!"
"And with Cangzhou rural soldiers, they can train in Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Baozhou, Dingzhou, and even develop into the hinterland of Hebei."
"The same is true for our Green Forest. When the Liao army attacks Hebei, it must go through the three passes, Dingzhou and Baozhou. If it goes to Hedong, it must go through Yanmen Pass. No matter which route it is, we must not confront the main army, but
We must attack in a roundabout way and give full play to our own advantages.”
"We must win in the early stage to strengthen our confidence, call on the green forests from all over the world to echo each other, and finally form a general trend to compete with the Liao people!"
If Li Yan heard Wu Yong's summary, he would also nod with relief, because this is the core purpose of his coming here.
He knew that Chao Gai would lead the Green Forest Heroes to attack the Liao Army, but he wanted to prevent these Green Forest Heroes from charging up and sending them away in a wave.
Chao Gai originally had this plan to beat the Liao dogs hard and show off my prestige, but then he stopped thinking: "Then what we are doing is like the local soldiers, taking advantage of the terrain to encircle and suppress a small group of Liao troops?"
Wu Yong originally only had changes in tactics, but now he has a clear strategic intention: "It's different. The rural soldiers used defense instead of attack to protect their hometown and prevent the Liao army from plundering. We used attack instead of defense and used guerrilla warfare."
In the form of dealing with the Liao people."
The overall strategy that Li Yan emphasized was not specific to detailed tactics, because he knew that Wu knew how to use his troops. As expected, Wu knew how to use his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
Guerrilla warfare has existed in China since ancient times. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, King Helu of Wu was preparing to attack the Chu State. He adopted Wu Zixu's suggestion of first exhausting Chu and then fighting decisively, and sent some troops to the Chu State to harass the Chu State in the form of guerrilla warfare.
For six years, the Chu army was exhausted, and then the main force was sent into Chu for a decisive battle, and the Chu army was defeated.
Peasant uprisings in the past dynasties often involved guerrilla warfare with officers and soldiers, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, making false claims in the east and attacking in the west. They used guerrilla tactics to fight when they could and leave when they couldn't. This made the officers and soldiers focus on one thing and not the other, and they were exhausted.
As a bandit, he is naturally familiar with this routine.
When everyone nodded, Wu Yong continued: "If the Liao army cannot attack, it would be best. Once the Liao thieves invade the hinterland of Hebei, there will definitely be many martyrs in the rear who fight against the Liao. These people are also ours to fight for."
As long as they raise flags in the rear and give the Liao people a sense of threat from enemies from both sides, it will naturally help the frontal troops reduce pressure. This is to open up a battlefield behind enemy lines..."
As he told it, everyone in the Juyi Hall finally understood, but they always felt that something was not right.
After thinking about it, I finally realized why my own strategist, who was so clever and resourceful, became someone else's mouthpiece.
Lei Heng was a little angry: "The military counselor has a clever plan, I'm afraid he has seen it a long time ago, right?"
Chao Gai also said: "After all, Lin Yiyong doesn't know the power of my green forest. What corrections can the military advisor make?"
After Wu Yong was silent for a while, he said slowly: "I have nothing to add. The temporary tactics are just adaptable. Mr. Lin has already analyzed the overall strategy clearly. Time is running out. Please implement it concretely!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the first time that Chao Gai saw his military advisor accept the overall opinions of others with a slight dejection. For a while, he didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only give it to everyone
The brother made a look: "Then I will contact the major copycats first..."
Chao Gai stood up, Lei Heng, Zhu Tong, Cai Fu and Cai Qing also followed him and left one after another, leaving only Wu Yong sitting on the chair, frowning slightly.
What made him most frustrated was that he knew that the other party had told Green Forest what he wanted, and that it was impossible to reveal all his plans. From this, he could see the gap between them.
If you plan in advance, you will prosper; if you plan in advance, you will perish. He lacks a far-sighted vision and cannot seize the initiative. He can only react passively according to the situation. When things come to pass, although he can always think of a solution, if he is not careful, he will be dissatisfied.
All bets are lost, or even lost forever.
"If you don't plan for the overall situation, you won't be able to plan for a region. If you don't plan for the eternity, you won't be able to plan for the moment. Your bearing affects the pattern. What I lack is Mr. Lin's bearing and pattern!"
At this moment, looking at Han Jinsun who was walking at the back, Wu Yong felt a little regretful.
He made Han Jinsun come to the mountain, which seemed like a stroke of genius, but it also offended the Han family in Xiangzhou to death.
If he wanted to take the Zhao'an route, it would be a very stupid act. Of course, he could also let the Han family confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, but then the entire scholar-bureaucrats would not be able to tolerate them. How would it end well?
This is a manifestation of the small structure. Although it seems that there is a big goal, what you do is not to serve that big goal. On the contrary, it goes in the opposite direction. You want to be happy for a while, do things without leaving any room, and ultimately ruin the future of the brothers!
Wu Yong sighed secretly and decided to remedy the situation: "Second Master, please stay!"
Han Jinsun trembled, turned around slowly, lowered his head and said, "What are the military advisor's orders?"
Wu Yong's eyes flickered, and he already had an idea: "Does the second master know that there will be new changes in Beijing regarding a certain rumor?"
"It used to be rumored among the people that the death of the Queen Mother was caused by officials. In order to fear that the conspiracy would be exposed, they even harmed King Jian..."
"Now that the Liao Kingdom is invading south, I am afraid that everyone will know that it is the aliens who are spreading rumors in the capital and slandering the officials. This is a deliberate conspiracy of the enemy country and must not be believed."
This view coincides with Cai Jing's. Family scandals should not be publicized. Even if there are many unreasonable things about the time, at least during the period of the war against the Liao Kingdom, the officials of the Song Dynasty never committed matricide!
Han Jinsun didn't understand why Wu Yong told him this. He didn't care about the official family at all. He only cared that he had become the target of thousands of people, and he might not be included in the family tree after his death.
Wu Yong saw that he didn't understand clearly, so he said bluntly: "The second master came to my mountain stronghold when the Liao Kingdom invaded. Now we and other green forest heroes have to protect our family and the country. Do you have a share of your contribution in this?"
"
Han Jinsun suddenly froze and said in a trembling voice: "Strategist... what does the military adviser mean?"
Wu Yong gently waved his feather fan again: "The second master endured the criticism of thousands of people and became a bandit, just to unite the heroes of the green forest when the country was in trouble. Although King Chao Tian had already had this intention, he was deeply moved because he promoted Young Master Han.
As the second head of the family, he is called the 'gongzi and grandson'. This matter spreads out and becomes a good story among the scholars!"
Having said this, Wu Yong paused and said with a smile: "Of course, the greater the role played by the heroes of the forest, the more worthy the second master's sacrifice is..."
Han Jinsun trembled all over and rushed to Wu Yong: "Please rest assured, military advisor, I will definitely contact my family and ask them to give the fort their full support to fight against the Liao dogs!"
Wu Yong nodded: "That's good!"
The green forest hero came in handy in the war in Hebei. He, the "son and grandson of the prince", could wash away his bad reputation and would definitely help him. In the future, the Han family did not want to be known as ungrateful and could not destroy the bridge across the river at Baishawu.
If you leave room for things, the situation will change slightly, and you will suddenly feel alive.
But under the twists and turns, Han Jinsun's eyes also came to life, tears burst out, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you so much, military commander!!"
