"Now that you are in charge of the important post of Army Commander in the Commander's Office, stop talking about students and students."
The Marching Sima was also an important back office of the Jiedu Envoy in the Tang Dynasty, participating in planning and coordinating military affairs. If Fang Yiren's current position as secretary-general is equivalent to the positions of deputy chief and secretary-general in later generations, then the Marching Sima is close to the chief of staff.
status.
Of course, the Marching Sima is still essentially a staff member. Even if the staff assists in military affairs and is a military counselor, it is still far from the modern "staff department" system.
For example, the Marching Sima Gu Junen currently serves as is essentially just the commander's personal assistant, with a relationship of personal dependence on the chief officer. How much independent decision-making ability does he have in this situation? He is more of a consultant.
host.
Even if the Marching Sima can act on behalf of operations, training and other business plans, and even take charge of command operations, but even in the Republic of China era, the vast majority of staff, in the name of "General Staff", are essentially just a group of staff
, there is no chance to serve as a military leader.
But even so, the fact that Gu Junen was promoted from an academic political officer to a marching Sima, and his status was quickly promoted to the point where he was close to Fang Yiren, the mastermind of the commander's office, was still Li Laiheng's special treatment.
In Li Laiheng's opinion, not to mention the strategic talents shown by Gu Junen in later generations, just the strategy of "suppressing the left" that he formulated now is indeed a grand sight, giving Li Laiheng the feeling that his writing was born from scratch and his mastery was acquired accidentally.
"This matter does not affect the overall situation. It is so straightforward. Don't pay too much attention to it. Now all our energy must be concentrated on the major matter of suppressing the left."
Li Laiheng shook his head, indicating to Gu Junen that he did not take this matter to heart. However, having said that, Gu Junen carefully put his boots back on, slightly restraining his arrogant and arrogant style.
"Ma Bao." Li Laiheng waved his hand and ordered to Ma Bao, "You hand over all the spies to Yan Zhongsheng, and transfer the matter to the red team. Now that the war is tense, some gentry will take the opportunity to cause chaos. Let's have a public trial and torture
If the plundering is still not in place, let Yan pay for more inspections. If there is any concealment, etc., once found out, he will be severely punished."
"right."
Fang Yiren also snorted twice. Compared with the Suizhou gentry, his family background can actually be called "a family of gentry for generations." However, he and Li Laiheng have become more and more considerate recently, and they all consider it from the perspective of breaking into the army.
Set off with the middle and lower class civilians, at this moment, he sternly said to the gentry disciples who were planning to cause chaos:
"This generation of thieves who advocate rebellion are really heartless. When I invaded Suizhou, I was rejected by the city. The lord of the palace did not regard you as a rebel. Instead, he shared the benefits of the camp with the landowners, and it was a public-private partnership.
Yi. He is ungrateful, ignorant, and really heartless."
After he finished these words, he did not forget to remind Li Laiheng:
"Although this generation of thieves is bent on advocating chaos, if the strict management team has a big hairpin stick, I am afraid that the implication will be too wide. At this critical period of suppressing the left, the intensity of arrests should still be controlled. In addition, this group of people is quite
Those who collect books, those books and pictures are only for arty purposes in the hands of thieves like these. If they are kept in the commander's house and placed in the secretary's office, they will be of great benefit to political affairs."
In his spare time, this secretary-general likes to study garden art (there are very few opportunities to practice it in Chuangjun territory!), and he also likes to collect original ancient books.
When the red team searched for the gentry, they would inevitably have to copy a few ancient books written by "high-ranking officials", and they would probably be able to get a few more volumes of them.
However, Li Laiheng would not allow his subordinates to blatantly seek personal gain from public affairs. Those books and pictures will still be directly collected into the commander's office. Those with military and political value will be retained for use by the commander's staff. They will only have literary value.
If so, let Kendeji try to realize it.
Fang Yiren only relied on the authority of the secretary to make it easier for him to read some ancient books.
"What Leshan said is extremely comprehensive, okay, okay, let's do it like this."
Li Laiheng clapped his hands, indicating that this episode should be put aside. The discussion on military aircraft all night made the always energetic Young Master also show his considerable fatigue.
He repeatedly kneaded his eyebrows with his fingers, raised his head again, twisted his neck, made a crunching sound, and said:
"We handed over all the ships of the German and Huang mansions to Zhang Xianzhong, in exchange for the Xiying crossing the river and helping us contain Ding Qirui. But it also means that the Chuang army does not have a capable navy to compete with Zuo Liangyu!"
This was Li Laiheng's mistake. He did not expect that Zuo Liangyu would drag a group of ships directly from the land to the downstream basin near Suizhou for launching.
Under the pincer attack of Zuozhen's land and water armies, Zaoyang's defense line collapsed immediately. Before Li Laiheng could attack Zuo Liangyu with Gao Guo's soldiers who had detoured back from Chengtian Mansion, he received the news of Zaoyang's fall.
The general who defended Zaoyang was Miao Lichen, the mighty infantry general of the Breaking Army. Most of his subordinates were from Henan mines. They were best at civil engineering and were proficient in defending the city.
However, Zuo Liangyu dragged the ship downstream and entered the water. This tactic was indeed beyond the expectations of the invading army. Miao Lichen's military tactics were characterized by stability and perseverance, but he was relatively lacking in clever strategies. Under the rapid attack of the Zuo Army,
Next, flaws were quickly revealed.
Jin Shenghuan, the general under Zuo Liangyu, had fought many battles with the Qing army in the waters and islands of southern Liaoning under the command of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, and was proficient in the navy. Under the command of Jin Shenghuan, Zuo Zhen Navy
At an alarming speed, it cut off the retreat route of the Zaoyang defenders and destroyed the ferry, causing Miao Lichen to lose ground and almost perish.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zuozhen fell into his old habit of scrambling to attack when he was winning. As a result, the tight surrounding net laid out by Jin Shenghuan soon turned into a rotten fishing net full of holes.
Miao Lichen seized the opportunity to fight, took the lead, abandoned all the grain, baggage, gold and silver treasures in the city, broke out from the north where the left army's encirclement force was weakest, rushed back to Tongbai Mountain via Lutoudian, and saved the Zaoyang defenders.
the main force.
However, in this battle, the Chuang army lost Zaoyang and suffered more than a thousand casualties. This was a major failure that had almost never happened since Li Laiheng used his army.
"Although Zuo Zhen was frightened when he saw the flag of the invading army after the defeat in Zhuxian Town. But Zuo Liangyu has no food now, and everyone from Zuo Town is coming with desperate momentum. They also have the advantage of troops.
It is not an enemy that can be easily eliminated."
After Fang Yiren finished speaking, Li Laiheng also sighed:
"The loss of Zaoyang is not Miao Lichen's problem. It's because I was too conservative in my use of troops. I didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be so desperate... Now we still have to wait for the coordinated action of the fifth battalion of Gezuo. There are many places where our hands are tied. We have to entertain Zuo Liangyu.
Liangyu’s feast will still have to wait, wait, and wait.”
Zuo Liangyu still thinks that the main force of the Huguang Chuang Army is only about 20,000 soldiers. Therefore, the fifth battalion of Gezuo, hidden under the fog of the battlefield, has become Li Laiheng's biggest information advantage. His current plan is,
It was to deceive Zuo Liangyu by disguising the weaker troops in the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo as the main force of the Breaking Army.
The real main force of the Breaking Army, after Gao Yigong and Guo Junzhen guerrillaed the enemy's rear and cut off Zuo Liangyu's return route, immediately launched an all-out counterattack with an overwhelming force of thunder, striving to annihilate or completely annihilate between Suizhou and Zaoyang.
Heavy damage to most of the left army.
"The Lin camp and the Chuang army have been almost integrated for a long time. Lin Chengcheng is now at Hehedian in the northernmost part of Suizhou to meet Miao Lichen's remaining troops. The two armies of Zuo Jin Wang He Jin and Zhi Shi Wang Liu Xiyao have been walking for so long.
Asking for a supplement of food, wages and weapons, their vanguard finally arrived at Suizhou City during the day. It is estimated that the troops and horses will be here tomorrow, and the number of troops should be seven to eight thousand."
Fang Yiren still has much more confidential information than Gu Junen, so even if Gu Junen comes to suggest the big strategy, Fang Yiren's opinions are still more important in terms of specific implementation and layout.
"Only two troops, Geliyan He Yilong and Lao Huihui Ma Shouying, have been greedy for the prosperity of Anlu since they arrived. They have stayed there and have not set off to this day."
Fang Yiren pointed to a corner of the map of De'an Mansion and said to Li Laiheng:
"The two battalions of Ge and Hui insisted on refusing to fight together with the Chuang army. He Yilong meant that they would listen to the instructions but not the propaganda. They were only willing to be responsible for fighting in one direction alone and were not willing to fight together with the Chuang army."
He Yilong also took advantage of the fact that Li Laiheng was at the critical moment of the decisive battle with Zuozhen, so the lion opened his mouth. Not only did Ge Liyan frantically ask for supplies of food and weapons, but he also claimed that unless Li Laiheng agreed that he and Lao Hui would lead an army alone,
Then I will not move even once when I return to the two camps.
Ge Liyan and Lao Huihui not only asked them to fight in one direction. They even thought about which direction this direction was. According to He Yilong's words, "The combat effectiveness of Geying among the fifth battalions has always been
If you want to fight the strongest, you have to go to Chengtian Mansion. Old Chongzhen dug the ancestral graves of Zicheng brothers, so I had to dig Chongzhen’s ancestral graves.”
Ge, in reply, they said they were going to attack Chengtian Mansion and avenge the destruction of Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb. In fact, they just thought that the main battlefields for the decisive battle would be near Zaoyang and Suizhou, and Chengtian Mansion was empty, and Ge Liyan did not want to give him a chance.
Li Laiheng was working in vain, but he wanted to use Li Laiheng to contain the main force of the left army, and he and Ma Shouying could easily harvest Chengtian Mansion.
His idea was beautiful, but the situation in the army was tense now, and it was inconvenient for Li Laiheng to have another conflict with Ge Liyan and Lao Huihui, so he had to let it go.
"This old revolutionary is so petty that he always wants to take advantage of everything. Who can tolerate him?" Li Laiheng said angrily, "If he wants to fight Chengtian, let him fight. This is
It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so let her go, it will still be able to contain some officers and soldiers."
"When He Jin and Liu Xiyao's troops arrive, replenish them with all their strength and change their equipment. The swords must be fast and the armor must be strong. The first battle depends on how long the three battalions of He Jin and Liu Xiyao can hold Zuo Zhen.
The main force of the invading army will now move to the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain and hide in the mountains and forests, so that Zuo Liangyu cannot get a glimpse of it."
Li Laiheng's plan is that the main force of the Chuang Army will ambush in the north of Suizhou and at the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain, while He Jin, Liu Xiyao, Lin Chengcheng and a few remaining troops of the Chuang Army will defend the front of Suizhou and hold Zuozhen back.
When the left army's offensive momentum was exhausted, Gao Yigong and Guo Junzhen came out of Dahong Mountain. Li Laiheng personally supervised the main force of the Chuang army to leave the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain. The two armies joined forces to attack and annihilate the left army.
But the biggest risk is whether Suizhou City can withstand Zuo Liangyu, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Chengcheng and whether they are willing to make considerable sacrifices to cooperate in the battle!
"The provisions for He Jin and Liu Xiyao must not be less! Now we can no longer hide any bottles and jars. We will smash out all the good things for him. We must stabilize King Zuo Jin."
