"In order to facilitate our assault on Shenglong Prefecture, Di Shuai's army will turn west from Temo Road to attack Suining Prefecture in Dali Kingdom, with the intention of rushing into Jiaozhi from Suining Prefecture, but Di Shuai's army will only march at most
After arriving at Malipo and mobilizing Gao Zhisheng's army to move westward, they will have a decisive battle with the Dali army in Suining Mansion.
Suining Prefecture borders Jiaozhi. The direct consequence of Di Shuai's troops entering Suining Prefecture is to threaten Li Rizun's retreat. Helping us threaten Li Rizun's retreat is just taking advantage of the situation. Di Shuai's main purpose is to mobilize Gao Zhisheng's army.
Away from the solid defense line that has been built, use the powerful cavalry power of the Western Army to completely defeat Gao Zhisheng on the plain of Zuining Prefecture, clearing obstacles for his northward march. After the decisive battle, Di Shuai will rush in at starry night in the shortest possible time.
Shicheng County, and then went all the way north, no longer having time to take care of us.
According to our estimation, Li Rizun will definitely monitor Di Shuai closely and just take a defensive posture against us. After all, Di Shuai's reputation prevents Li Rizun from being careless in the slightest, and we are just a Xiang army, even if
Li Rizun would not take him seriously if he was good at fighting. If Guangyuan Prefecture was not an epidemic area now, Li Rizun would have already mobilized a large army to regain Guangyuan Prefecture.
Under such a war situation, we have enough time to cross the forest and arrive at Shenglong Mansion when the enemy is caught off guard. If Li Rizun wants to return to Shenglong Mansion from Guangyuan Prefecture, it will take at least fifteen days, even for their most elite
It would take three days for the cavalry to set off at starry night. Plus the time for the message to be transmitted, we would have at least six days to capture Sheng Long Mansion.
Once we succeed in capturing Thang Long Palace, we must clear out all the military forces in Thang Long Palace as quickly as possible, leaving only the merchants and their guards to evacuate the city.
Liangshan in the east blocked Li Rizun's return reinforcements. If possible, after killing a large number of Li Rizun's troops here, he immediately transferred to Jiaozhi Qiyuan Prefecture and returned to the Song Dynasty from Yongping Village.
This battle is expected to last seventy-two days and the march distance exceeds 3,000 miles. Therefore, it can be predicted that our biggest enemy is not Li Rizun but the long-distance march. The purpose of delaying and killing Li Rizun's troops is to buy time for the merchants led by Cui Da.
Our battle plan will not be considered a complete success until all the merchants led by Cui Da return to the Song Dynasty."
Zhou Tong held a bamboo pole, pointed at the map on the table, and was frothing at the mouth. He had the aura of a future chief of general staff. But this is not his fault. Yun Zheng's performance was even worse, expressionless.
There was applause and praise.
This combat plan is the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire Wu Shengjun, taking into account all the advantages they can use. Yun Zheng, Su Xun, Zhou Tong, Wu Jie, Chu Dazhi and others have racked their brains for this plan.
No professional military personnel could plan a war to such an extent. Even Di Qing was greatly impressed. Only then did Di Qing change his battle plan and cooperate with Yun Zheng in mobilizing Li Rizun's military operations.
Lang Tan suddenly said: "If I were Li Rizun, knowing that I would not be able to rescue Shenglong Mansion in time, I would immediately march eastward, enter Guangyuan Prefecture, break into the Song Dynasty from Wuchao City, forcing you to return to the division, and then fight with
You fight decisively."
Su Xun smiled and said: "No, Shenglong Mansion is the fundamental location of Jiaozhi, and there is no room for failure. Once he hears that Shenglong Mansion has fallen, he will definitely return to the army for rescue as soon as possible.
Not to mention that Guangyuan Prefecture is still an epidemic area, and it is not wise to march into Guangyuan Prefecture. There is another reason why Li Rizun had to return to his army, and that was the throne!
Li Dezheng had six sons, all of whom were entrusted by Li Dezheng to various places in Jiaozhi. They also had their own fiefdoms and armies. If Li Rizun ventured into the Song Dynasty, the other princes would definitely take advantage of our departure to reoccupy Thang Long Mansion.
I believe that it was easy for Li Rizun to come to the Song Dynasty, but it would be harder to go back than to go to heaven. When the time comes, his younger brothers will definitely try their best to let him, the most powerful prince, stay in the Song Dynasty, or even annihilate the whole army in the Song Dynasty.
"
Yu Jingjiejie smiled and said: "Ming Yun is right. When it comes to military affairs, I don't understand, but when it comes to understanding political affairs and royal power, I should be respected here.
Before fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside. This is a fundamental order, and it is also a way for a king to do things.
The original source of this phrase is Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Part 1 of Taiyang Diseases". It is a pharmacological theory that calms the outside and calms the inside.
This is the origin of the slogan "respect the king and repel the foreigners" put forward by Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period - first "respect the king" and "respect the king" first, and then "reject the foreigners". At that time, Kuiqiu formed an alliance and achieved hegemony.
Chao Cuo, the teacher of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, insisted on cutting down the vassal vassal and "repelling the foreigners must first pacify the internal affairs." This caused a fierce debate in the court at that time. Most people disagreed or believed that the time had not yet come. Dou Ying, the leader, believed that the time should be unified to deal with the outside world and deal with the Xiongnu.
; Chao Cuo persuaded Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to choose to continue to make peace with the Huns and focus on reducing the vassal state. As a result, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty eliminated internal worries, strengthened the centralization of power, and enhanced the national power. This allowed Emperor Wu to use force against the Xiongnu and solve the problem.
Border troubles created conditions.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhao Pu said in a note to Emperor Taizong that "China is now at peace, and the barbarians have surrendered. This is why those who want to fight against foreigners must first make peace at home."
Hahaha, Li Rizun is not a reckless man. He clearly knows his fundamental position. Without the throne of Jiaozhi, his life and death will not be controlled by himself. Therefore, it is necessary to return to the army to quell the chaos. Maybe the invading Wu Shengjun will be wiped out.
If Wu Sheng's army can significantly weaken Li Rizun's power at this time, I believe that the Jiaozhi Kingdom will fall into a protracted war and may fall apart."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Since Monk Ye Sou is here, we might as well ask Monk Ye Sou to send Khmer people to lobby Li Dezheng's generals and other princes after we enter Thang Long Palace, saying that our target is Li Rizun, and others
It’s irrelevant, I don’t know if this will have a good effect, at least it will avoid the chaotic situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides.”
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Go and talk to Ye Sou. I believe that smart old monk will understand that the more chaotic Jiaozhi is, the better the situation of the Khmer people will be. He wants to re-establish the "Shui Zhenla Kingdom"
The hope will be greater.
By the way, I would like to ask how the road he pioneered is being developed now. If possible, please ask him to widen the road in the forest as much as possible. When we return, we must be fast.
If the situation mentioned by Lang Tan occurs, I'm afraid none of us sitting here will be able to escape the punishment of the Song Dynasty law! The fewer mistakes there are in this matter, the better. It is estimated that the angels from the imperial court will arrive in Guangnan in a short time.
Now let's discuss the exact arrangements for the march. They must be interconnected and have backup military strategies to choose from. Once there is an emergency, how should we respond..."
Officers above the rank of marquis have been discussing in the general's tent for a whole day, and the atmosphere in the military camp has become tense. After all, this time is different from any previous battle. It is about going deep into other countries to rob.
Most of the soldiers in Wu Sheng's army found it difficult to breathe.
There is only one group of people who are exceptions, and that is the veterans of Jiazi Camp who are team leaders. Some of them are preparing their luggage, and some are sharpening their weapons on the bluestone, and they appear to be very calm.
"Team Commander, can we make it this time?" A thirty-year-old Wu Shengjun veteran quietly asked Team Leader.
Captain took a sip of wine from his small wine gourd and said: "Remove the word "?", there is nothing Wu Shengjun can't do, damn it, the little Jiaozhi scared your courage? I used to follow the general
I'm not as timid as you when I go to Xixia Kingdom. I don't have the guts to make a fortune, so get out and don't be an eyesore in front of me."
"Team up, the brothers are just muttering. There is no other meaning. They just want to ask what Shenglong Mansion looks like and whether the city walls are high?" Another soldier came over and whispered.
"High, I heard it's seven or eight feet high. It's all made of big bluestones. Even the eight-oxen crossbow can't penetrate it. I've also heard that the Jiaozhi savages eat people, and they eat them raw. If you don't have the guts to go, I'll
I'll transfer you to the logistics camp. Don't you dare to go to war and take the blame for us?" The team leader glanced sideways at the soldier who came over and said disdainfully.
"Eating people?" the soldier asked with a pale face.
"Yes, eat people. When you enter the forest, a large group of savages armed with sticks and stones rush over, roaring, grabbing a coward like you who has been frightened out of his courage, tearing your chest open, and tearing out your heart.
When you pull it out and eat it, your mouth is full of blood..."
One sentence made the soldier angry, and he said with a red face: "You said they can catch me and disembowel me with stones and sticks? Are the crossbows and steel knives in my hands vegetarian?"
Captain laughed and said: "Of course it's different for other brothers. They will kill the savages and Jiaozhi people like chopping melons and vegetables. Then they will open the Jiaozhi palace and rob all the treasures inside."
, when you get rich and go home, you will be scared out of your wits by the Cochin people. Not to mention holding stones and sticks, the Cochin women will scare you to death if they spread their legs, hahahaha."
"I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that if I die, no one will take care of me at home!" the soldier said loudly.
Captain was spitting: "No one takes care of your bullshit family. Your family is now forging iron, burning coke, and selling briquette stoves in the Huanzhou Fortress to make a living. They can live well with or without you. You are so damn valuable."
It's just this body. If you die in battle, you can get more money for your family. Don't talk about how important you are. Damn it, don't make excuses if you are timid!
Most of the people in Wu Shengjun are pure men. They can make a hole out of the ground by urinating. How come you are such a coward among my subordinates? Go and take the blame in the logistics camp, it is safer there!"
"You go too far! I will fight with you..."
The frantic soldier was forced to retreat by others. Beating a Shangguan was a serious crime in the Wu Sheng Army.
The team member walked up to the soldier and said: "I'll give you a chance. I'll see you on the battlefield if you have the ability. If you chop off more heads than me, or even half as many as me, I will be ridiculed by others and be ridiculed by the army."
If you're going to be punished, I'll serve you a drink in front of the whole team. If you still act like a coward, don't say that I'm taking revenge on you by sending you to the logistics camp to be with those old men."
"Liu Geda, when you went into battle, I watched you with wide open eyes to see how I killed the enemy. When you came back, I threw wine in your face..." (To be continued)
