Besides, this battle is just a small test of the edge, so that his tactics can be used a little to verify the success of the actual combat type. 『】Please search for the product #book.com to see the most complete and updated novels

To say that he persuaded Gao Ping to transfer his troops to the north, Gao Ping's adoption was the correct choice of the general, not a matter of trust or distrust, and said calmly: "Taiwei, now that the three major battalions are progressing smoothly, we should not move westward in the next step, but our battalion will stabilize the front, and Captain Xie will lead the army to seize Xiazhou." ”

Gao Ping frowned slightly, and according to his idea, he would lay down the ancient Wuyan City, and the three major camps would fight against the long wall. Then, the front division of the palace and the fifth battalion marched together, advanced rapidly to the west, launched a fierce attack on Yanzhou, completely cleared the eastern pass of Xingqing Mansion, and the sixth battalion contained the soldiers and horses in Xiazhou, Shizhou and other places.

With the three armies of the Sixth Battalion, it should be able to contain the Xia Army of the Left Wing, at least make this group of Shengqiang unable to make trouble, and let him make contributions.

Feng Yuan saw that Gao Ping's expression was wrong, obviously dissatisfied with his strategic guidance, and said: "Xiao Heda, the commander of the Xiazhou Metropolitan Army, has different ambitions, and he will definitely not work hard, and even has the heart to take refuge in the imperial court, this is a God-given opportunity and must not be lost." Although the rapid westward advance can achieve surprise, but the main force of Shengqiang still exists, which is a great threat to our rear, even if we take Yanzhou, we still have to cross the sand sea, and then face the heavy troops of Xiping Xiangqing, which is easy to form an embarrassing situation in which there are obstacles in front and heavy troops in the rear. ”

"As long as the main force of the left wing is solved, the eastern part of Yanzhou will naturally go down without a fight, so our army should unite the main force and capture the main force of Shengqiang for a decisive battle."

"On the occasion of the death of the famous Qianshun, the chief of Shengqianggui, it was when our army broke through the cauldron and arrived at the city of Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop, turning to Xiazhou and Shizhou to use troops, which will inevitably delay time and let them redeploy in Yanzhou." Gao Ping also has his own opinions, he is eager to make meritorious contributions, but he still has the ability to judge.

Feng Yuan bowed silently, he admitted that Gao Ping's strategy was feasible, and even the mainstream view of the Western Servants. They generally believed that Li Qianshun suddenly hiccuped, the party members were facing the embarrassing situation of the new monarch's succession and unstable people's hearts, coupled with Xiao Heda's closed door and no fight, it was a good opportunity for the Song army to face them, so that they could march westward and attack Xingqing directly without having to fight hard to settle the five states.

This guy has a good opportunity, as long as there are strong forces to stabilize the left wing, and then use a strong army to quickly advance westward, it is possible to achieve the goal.

However, he saw the danger in it, Xiao Heda closed the door, it did not mean that he rebelled, the left wing of the Xia army still had the main force gathered, and they were not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle. Once the main force of the Song army advances westward, the main force of the other side will counterattack, and it will form an embarrassing situation of having a strong city in front and sharp soldiers in the back, which will be a bit hanging at that time.

The grain and grass baggage route was cut off ironcladly, and the Xia army could even enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to fight, and the westward troops were likely to become turtles in the urn.

Gao Ping saw that Feng Yuan was silent, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Zixuan doesn't agree?"

Feng Yuan groaned slightly, risks and opportunities coexist, but it does not mean that he chooses risks to fight for opportunities, because he has a stable winning strategy, and said lightly: "The risk is too great." ”

"Risks and opportunities coexist, Shao Jinqing's light army marching westward, isn't it also a great risk" Gao Ping looked disdainful and said what Feng Yuan didn't want to hear.

"Liangzhou is a gathering place for good horses in the world, and there are not many soldiers and horses left behind by the party, so it is impossible for them to help in time. The difficulties are different from place to place, our army abandons the annihilation of the main force of Shengqiang and moves westward, in case they gather a large army, how is it good"

"There are two kinds of war guidance, one is to capture and annihilate the enemy's main force, and the other is to capture the national capital regardless of the other. The former is the safest way to play, and it is also the key to dealing with small countries, and the latter should deal with the national capital in all directions, belonging to the key towns, breaking its point and collapsing the whole line, Xingzhou obviously does not belong to this list, even if the army captures Xingzhou, Shengqiang can still gather troops to fight back. ”

Feng Yuan's words are all here, and the following possibilities, Gao Ping should understand that this is derived from Wang Xiu's teachings.

In fact, there is not much theory, but it is the choice of goals in the war, whether to fight the enemy's heavy army group, or to take the capital, the Jin army went south twice, captured Kaifeng and caused the chaos of the Great Song Dynasty, if it wasn't for Wang Xiu's efforts to turn the tide, it is really difficult to say what the outcome would be.

That's because the power of the Great Song Dynasty was highly centralized, the local financial power was very weak, and Kaifeng was captured, which made the place fall into a situation where it could not protect itself, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance for a long time.

It's not that you don't resist, it's not that you don't want to resist, it's that you really can't resist, you don't have soldiers or money, how can you fight with others

Xia is completely different, the party clan has real power, has its own clan soldiers and horses, and each military state also has relative financial power, even if the country is captured, as long as Li Renxiao escapes, he can organize a strong counterattack.

Gao Ping didn't pay attention to Feng Yuan, and rode his horse to gallop on the battlefield, making Feng Yuan shake his head and smile, not taking the other party's arrogance to heart.

Not to mention the Northwest Battlefield, the negotiations in Kaifeng are still continuing, Wang Xiu is quite disgusted, and basically delegated power to Shen Mo and Yu Wenyi, and added a burden to Yu Wenyi.

"Wait a long way, I see that Zhang Tong Gu Jianglang is exhausted, and there is not much room for bargaining, you are still ready to go north in the name of a caravan."

Wang Xiu leaned back on the high-backed chair very comfortably, smiled gently, and said, "Kerehan Ahsu and Qiyan Khan are all greedy steppe wolves, give them prominent officials, promise them benefits, and let them plunder southward to their heart's content. Remember, they want gold and silver for gold and silver, silk for silk, and beautiful women for beautiful women, but they can't promise copper and iron coins, much less armor, you know?"

Since the fall of the Khitan, the Jurchens are trying to control the vacuum of zhì, and the various departments of the grassland have fallen into fierce infighting, but the relatively powerful Kelie and Qiyan tribes are still plundering Xia on a small scale, and the three major military divisions in the north of Xia are guarding against the grassland.

This group of steppe peoples is greedy, more brutal than the half-farming and half-pastoral Jurchens and party members, and they are simply barbarians. In that year, for the sake of the peace of the north, Li Qianshun sent Zhang Yu, the commander of the capital, to guard the north, which was considered to have been stopped for two years, but they won and lost each other, and they could not effectively control the southward movement of this group of barbarians.

Fortunately, whether it is the Khitans, the Jurchens, or the Dangxiang people, they all invariably control the flow of copper and iron into the grassland, which caused the weakness of those barbarians, and many warriors used bone arrows, and the lethality was not the same as that of copper and iron.

The massive flow of copper and iron into the steppe and arming those barbarians was an absolutely terrifying thing.

looked at Yu Wenyi silently and calmly, and said lightly: "This time, you brought a lot of goods, which is enough for their dirt buns to open their eyes." ”
