ps: Thanks to vdx Douban’s father Lei Lei for the reward, and Saileren, Zhuang Zhou, Brother Xiaoyao, Brother Huang Quan, etc. for their monthly tickets. The badminton match will be finalized tomorrow, and it will be concluded the day after tomorrow. I will definitely have a correct attitude next week and do well.
Code words.
Among the leaders of the Lulong Army who still have strength, who knows the strength of Yingzhou better than Zhao Jing. He has been the general manager of the Shanbei camp for a year, and he is most familiar with the military reports from all over the border wall.
He also understands the situation outside the pass much more thoroughly than others. In Zhao Jing's view, Yingzhou's military strength far exceeds that of Youzhou. If the two sides fight, Zhao Jing will vote for Yingzhou without hesitation. But now,
This "if" is inevitable, so Zhao Jing believes that Yingzhou will win, and it will be a big victory!
The speculators among the grasshoppers will always cling to the strong side. They may receive the gift and mercy of the strong and continue to survive and wait for the next speculation; while the ambitious people among the grasshoppers will take advantage of the opportunity when the opportunity comes.
If all their wealth is put on them, they may fail completely, but they may also win the world!
Zhao Jing can tolerate Liu Shouguang because Liu Shouguang is not strong, but he can never tolerate Li Chengzhong because Li Chengzhong is too domineering!
But Zhao Jing did not intend to go along with Youzhou. In terms of striving for profits for his own family, he had the same idea as the other Zhao family, but his ambitions were even greater.
Zhao Jing closed his eyes and said nothing about Zhao Jing's "desperate move". Zhao Jing asked cautiously: "Do you disapprove of your son sending troops?"
Zhao Yan shook his head. After a long time, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with light.
"If you don't leave Lulongsai, go grab Yuguan!"
"Sir, it's more convenient to go to Lulongsai..."
"The Yingzhou Army won a great victory. Is this your speculation?"
"It is inevitable!" Zhao Jing nodded firmly.
"After the great victory, the Yingzhou Army returns to Liucheng. How can you resist it?" Zhao Yan pointed out the fatal problem in Zhao Jingjian's words in one sentence.
Zhao Jing was silent. He suddenly discovered that in his father's casual remarks, there was such an obvious loophole in his strategy. Since it was judged that the Yingzhou Army had won a great victory, it meant that the Yingzhou Army's losses were not heavy. Likewise.
It also means that the Yingzhou Army has the ability to return to Shiguan. Even if it takes Liucheng, can it stop the wolf-like Yingzhou Army?
He is the most outstanding talent of the Zhao family in Jizhou. Zhao Juan immediately understood what his father meant without saying anything else.
It is necessary to occupy Yuguan and seal off the Yingzhou Army's retreat. Try every means to keep the Yingzhou Army in the pass. As long as the Yingzhou Army is cut off from their supplies, food and wages, they will be trapped in a desperate situation, and at the same time, the passage out of the pass will be firmly grasped.
In your own hands.
Zhao Jing sighed: "I understand. But this strategy is very dangerous. Once the march is exposed, I may be in trouble." With the efforts of Zhou Zhiyu and Zhao Zaili, the three generations of Yuguan masters in Yuan Xingqin, the city has been repaired.
It is impregnable. If the Jizhou soldiers do not have the effect of a surprise attack, it will be difficult to conquer such a majestic pass. At that time, there will be Yuguan blocking the way. Later, the Yingzhou army will return to support, and the Jizhou soldiers rushing to attack Yuguan will be extremely dangerous.
Zhao Yan nodded, and then said coldly: "Aren't we already in danger by sending troops this time?"
"...Shicheng is in a dangerous place, and the governor cannot agree. It is best to retreat a hundred miles to Pingzhou City." Han Yanhui pointed at the large map with a wooden stick and smacked it on Pingzhou City: "We are here. And
Liu Shouguang’s decisive battle!”
The capital of Youzhou Festival officially responded to the appeal issued by Yingzhou and agreed to convene a meeting of Lulong Prefecture to jointly discuss the cause of death and subsequent matters of the old prince Liu Rengong. This was indeed expected by Yingzhou. Yingzhou senior officials
After many days of continuous discussion, they were still unsure of the true intentions of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion. So everyone was very confused.
It was not until Guo Bingcheng urgently sent a report on the sudden increase in the large amount of military funds allocated to the Volunteer Army in the past few days, and the Yingzhou side combined it with the location of the Lulong Army's grand meeting stated in the official document of Youzhou Festival Capital, that it finally dawned -
—Liu Shouguang is ready to take action.
The location chosen for Youzhou Festival Capital is located in Shicheng in the west of Pingzhou, which intersects with Jizhou. It is surrounded by low-lying plains and hills, which is extremely conducive to frontal combat by the army. Moreover, Shicheng is in the middle of the western line of Pingzhou. It is far from Jizhou in the north.
The Lulongsai area controlled by the state is about 60 miles away, and the south is also different from the sea. It is easy for the Jizhou army to sneak attack from the north, and it is difficult to detect the detour and side attack of the enemy army from the south. Therefore, Han Yanhui immediately launched an attack on Youzhou.
Fang Lue made the most malicious speculation.
He believed that he must not start a battle with Liu Shouguang in Shicheng, but should retreat to Pingzhou City. Pingzhou City is close to the border wall in the north and the sea in the south, which can greatly reduce the width of the frontal battlefield and avoid being outflanked and outflanked by the enemy to the greatest extent.
.The most important thing is that Pingzhou City and Yuguan are not far from each other, which can not only effectively shield this important traffic pass, but also get good support from Yingzhou outside the pass.
Today's military discussion is mainly to revise the battle plan for entering the Pass. The original Eastern Front plan of the Yingzhou Army to leave Yuguan and attack Youzhou is no longer feasible. The plan needs to make new adjustments. But where will the battlefield be specifically determined?
, whether to agree to the stone city mentioned by Liu Shouguang or to choose the battlefield independently requires careful consideration.
As soon as Han Yanhui's suggestion came out, it won the unanimous approval of most of the important generals in the army, including Zhang Xingzhong, Jiang Miao, Zhou Kan, Zhong Shao and so on. Avoiding fighting with the enemy on the battlefield chosen by the enemy was the key to Li Chengzhong's policy that year.
One of the military combat principles put forward during the lectures at Bailangshan Military Academy has long become a unanimous consensus among the Yingzhou Army. Of course, this principle is not absolute. In many cases, the selection of the battlefield is actually a joint decision of both parties, such as Rao
This was the case in the decisive battle of Leshan.
Following Han Yanhui's suggestion, all the generals of the Yingzhou Army spoke up one after another, expressing their own opinions on how to fight based on Pingzhou City and Yuguan, how to keep the two important places open, how to protect the flanks, etc. Soon, etc.
, a rough combat plan has almost taken shape.
Li Chengzhong had been listening carefully to the suggestions of his subordinates, but never expressed his opinion. After the discussion among his subordinates gradually subsided, he turned to Feng Dao, who had also not spoken, and asked: "Ke Dao, what do you think? Tell me.
Listen."
Feng Dao rarely expressed his views on combat matters in military discussions. As the first civil servant in Yingzhou, he very consciously focused his energy and attention on government affairs. From the Bailangshan period, he
Try to avoid participating in and interfering in military affairs. Not only do you not participate or interfere in it yourself, but you also try to suppress the participation and interference of civilian officials below. Even in private conversations with Li Chengzhong, he basically does not point fingers at the military. If he talks about military-related matters, he is even more cautious.
Focus on government affairs, such as logistical support, or production mobilization, etc.
It can be said that Feng Dao grasped his role very carefully and accurately. It is precisely because of this that he won the unanimous respect of Yingzhou military commanders, and his relationship with Li Chengzhong was extremely harmonious. Because of this, Feng Dao always
This view also attracted the attention of Yingzhou generals.
After listening to Li Chengzhong's inquiry, Feng Dao hesitated for a moment and finally decided to express his thoughts. He nodded and saw that all the generals in the hall were looking at him, so he said: "Although I don't know...
Military, but it can also be heard that the response strategy mentioned by Zang Ming is undoubtedly the best policy. But I think that we seem to have overlooked an issue, about the issue of people's hearts.
The sudden death of the old prince is very strange. What is the cause of his death? I think it must have a deep connection with the rebellious son. Therefore, our Yingzhou issued a proclamation to investigate the cause of death in detail. This is where justice lies, and this is what people's hearts feel.
The rebellious son had no choice but to respond head-on and agreed to convene a major meeting of the states to stabilize people's hearts and appease morale.
But we all know that the rebellious son will never dare to really investigate the cause of death in detail. His purpose of coming to Shicheng must be to have a decisive battle with our Yingzhou Army. His plan must be to sweep the court with thunderous force.
It is true that we use military power to suppress all different opinions. We issued the call to investigate the cause of death in detail, and the rebellious son has now agreed to discuss this matter. If we don't go to Shicheng, doesn't it mean that we are guilty? Doesn't it make us look better?
Is the disobedient son confident?
The governor once said that Lulong will not have so many military leaders in the future, and the general families in Youzhou will be very different from today. Everyone here will build a new general family, and the original wealthy families in Youzhou will not be the same.
The mountains will no longer be as dense as today. We must integrate all the forces in Lulong and work together to fight against the outside world. In the future, we will also compete with Hedong, Xuanwu, and the world for supremacy. If we do not carefully deal with the current state military leaders, all this will be difficult.
accomplish.
Several major generals and families in Youzhou have been suppressed by the rebellious son, but this is not enough. There are more generals and warriors who are still all over the states and in the army - especially the Yier Army, Ji.
State soldiers, Badu cavalry and these armies. This time, not only the three armies will come together, but also the generals and generals from other states will gather in Shicheng. If we can accept the invitation to participate in an upright manner, denounce it directly, and respond to hardness with toughness, we will completely defeat the rebellion.
If we let all the states see our strength, then not only will Youzhou be easily obtained this time, but the problem of integrating Lulong and eliminating military leaders will also be easily solved in the future.
Of course, I don’t know if I can deal with the combined attack of the Yier Army, Jizhou Soldiers and Badu Cavalry in Shicheng. This still needs the consideration of the Governor and everyone. I just expressed my thoughts and concerns, what should be done, and the Governor
decision making."
After Feng Dao finished speaking, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone was thinking carefully about Feng Dao's meaning.
In fact, both Feng Dao's advice and Han Yanhui's strategy are reasonable, and we cannot simply distinguish who is right and who is wrong. Han Yanhui's strategy considers the war from a purely military perspective, and chooses to fight Liu Shouguang in Pingzhou City. In terms of military
It has a natural advantage and has greater certainty in combat.
Feng Dao's suggestions are entirely considered from a political perspective. The focus is to win people's hearts and righteousness, and at the same time remove obstacles for Li Chengzhong's next purely militarized construction of the army expansion. But correspondingly, in military operations, it is necessary to
Facing the three-sided attack that Youzhou is likely to launch, they are at a tactical disadvantage.
Both are valid, it just depends on how you weigh them.
