Chapter 279 Emperor, Military General, Western Expedition

The Upper Fourth Army, which was already the Four Guards of the Son of Heaven, put away the big banner of swaggering through the city after leaving the sight of the official's house, and Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu acted almost at the same time, one taking care of the front army and the other taking care of the rear army.

As long as the two are on the battlefield, they are competing all the time, and the flame of competition is burning in the subordinates of the two, which is the healthy competition that Zhao Zhen specially introduced to the two, after all, in Zhao Zhen's view, the healthy competition in the army is the driving force for growth and progress.

The Great Song Dynasty, no, is that the entire Chinese nation is a country that advocates personal bravery, whether it is the current Great Song Dynasty or China thousands of years later, the people's admiration for personal courage has never stopped.

Zhao Zhen does not deny that personal bravery promotes people, and has produced many inspiring and history-changing figures, even national heroes.

But the individual bravery of one person is somewhat inadequate compared to a united group.

Zhao Zhen once experimented to let the strongest combat effectiveness in the palace with the imperial equipment deal with a squad of the pro-health division, and it is conceivable that with the cooperation of the battle array and tacit understanding, the heads-up ability of the imperial equipment was beaten into a pig's head, but I have to admit that this thing has lasted for a long time......

Individual bravery also plays an extremely important role, when a squad with imperial equipment and a squad of guards fight, obviously with imperial equipment prevails, and finally Zhao Zhen concluded that individual bravery can improve the ability of a combat group.

And the ancient martial arts are very different from the later generations, the martial arts seen in the Great Song Dynasty are all for faster and more efficient killings of the enemy, and there are not as many routines as in later generations, and even if there is, it is more similar to the military body boxing of grappling and fighting.

There is no doubt that the Chinese nation is wise, and the use of martial arts has strengthened the ability of personal bravery, in order to give full play to the individual's combat power, Zhao Zhen can definitely say that the Europeans and the Great Song Dynasty at this time competed in martial arts, maybe they will send a plaque of the sick man of Europe.

Zhao Zhen is very strange, many things in the Great Song Dynasty are not to mention that they were placed in the Ming Dynasty, or after the reform and opening up, but they are not recorded in his memory, which may be caused by the destruction of Mengyuan and the cliff-like partition in Chinese history!

Gently stroking the three-bow bed crossbow on the city wall, the effective range of this thing can even reach the distance of a sniper rifle in later generations, although the accuracy is not very high, but this thing shot the Liao general Xiao Tzu Rin during the Battle of Tanyuan!

However, there is no way to recover China's subsequent history, which shows that the subtlety of it was erased in that historical catastrophe......

The cold and sharp steel arrows made Zhao Zhen come back to his senses, at this time the army had disappeared the last trace of shadows, for this campaign, Zhao Zhen sent the elite but did not participate in the war of the four guards of the Son of Heaven, although after the transformation of the veterans of the Guards, but only on the battlefield can sharpen their edge.

More than 400,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo City were sent out to one-eighth, and Zhao Zhen originally planned to use 100,000 people, but after the discussion between the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province, 60,000 people were enough, after all, they had to fight together with the Northwest Forbidden Army, and there were more than 100,000 people who were fully counted.

The most important point is Cao Wei's suggestion: "Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu have reached the limit of 30,000 troops at most, and any more will be overwhelming, but will drag down the overall situation." ”

Zhao Zhen believes Cao Wei's words, after all, Cao Wei is also a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has many exploits against the party!

When Cao Wei knew that the army was in town, he recruited foreigners, attacked Li Jiqian, and built fortifications according to the terrain to consolidate the border defense.

After Li Jiqian's death, Cao Wei Shangshu asked Zhenzong to take the opportunity to destroy the Li regime, but was not approved by the court. After learning that the court actually missed the opportunity because of the fear of the Liao people, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The party is prosperous!" ”

After that, he personally led the army to bring back the surrendered Hexi clan, so that Li Deming did not dare to act rashly, and buried the clan in Wuyanchuan with Qin Han, divided the army to destroy Zang in Pingliang, and made many military exploits.

How could such a discerning and means-oriented military general Zhao Zhen abandon it?

This war against the party is to use Cao Wei's plan, he is one of Zhao Zhen's important staff officers, and Cao Wei also felt the trust of the official family, in his opinion, Jiangmen must be excluded by the officials, but the fact is that Jiangmen not only suffered from exclusion, but the juniors also got the opportunity to enter the military academy to study, and in the military it is to refer to and respect Jiangmen's opinions.

What made Cao Wei feel the most was a deduction organized by Zhao Zhen, whether it was a general, or an ordinary general, they were summoned to the Privy Council by the officials, and as soon as the door was closed, they deduced and planned on the sand table.

In the isolated room, the generals went from being worried to speaking freely, expressing their opinions, and then to the official family taking out the information of the black hand to draw the mountains and rivers and humanities, etc., Cao Wei felt that he had not spoken so freely for a long time.

Even after going out, I found that the sky had dawned, and everyone, including the official family, discussed the details of the western expedition for a night, and since then, Jiangmen has really existed in name only, and everyone is looking forward to the next secret room deduction, and they are all conquered by the unique temperament and charm of the official family.

An emperor actually quarreled with the general, and after the quarrel, he still agreed to the general's plan, this kind of belly, this kind of mind, who dares to say a word?!

In the secret room of the Privy Council, no matter who has to put down their identity to discuss the war, the official family said that as long as the door is closed, there will be no emperor, no general, no privy envoy and other official positions, some just have a heart to win the battle and want to win the war!

Grandpa, what kind of courage does it take to say something like this?!

If Zhao Zhen knew, I am afraid that he would laugh three times and said: "Lao Tzu also has the spirit of a king~!" ”

Cao Wei took a group of generals to look at Zhao Zhen who walked down from the city wall and saluted: "The army marches westward, my emperor blesses it!" ”

"If the four guards who went out on the expedition can break the party item and return triumphantly, it will be a blessing to the sky!"

The official's words made Cao Wei and the others not know how to answer.

Zhao Zhen is a modern person after all, and in his eyes, 60,000 fresh lives went to the frontier battlefield and fought against the party members because of his words, and his heart inevitably throbbed.

After all, it is 60,000 lives, Zhao Zhen will inevitably have self-doubt, is it worth it?

Although Tokyo City claims to have 400,000 forbidden troops, these 400,000 also include military families...... There are only nearly 300,000 people who really have combat effectiveness, and the rest are women, children, and the old and weak, which is why Zhao Zhen asked the Wang family and Cai Ji to give priority to recruiting military families.

The families of the 60,000 forbidden soldiers who went out this time were all given priority to be placed in Cai Ji and the Wang family's factory, and how many soldiers who went out on the expedition saw that the emperor and queen personally went to the army to guarantee in order to settle their families, and they were also relieved to leave with this guarantee!

Seeing that the official family's footsteps were a little vain, Cao Wei frowned and stepped forward and said, "The official family should go back to the palace to rest for a while, right?" The Great War has just begun, and your body ......"

Sancai interrupted Cao Wei with a roar: "Cao Wei! ~What do you want? The official dragon is in good health, how can he say it in vain! ”

"Cao Wei's gaffe in front of the emperor ......"

"It's okay, don't blame Cao Shumi, I am indeed a little tired, I won't go to the Privy Council today, go back to the palace."

Cao Wei and a group of generals breathed a long sigh of relief, the official family had not rested well in the past few days before the army set out, and several times even had to stay in the Privy Council, and a group of military generals persuaded the official family to go back.

They can see that the official family has every soldier who goes out on the expedition in their hearts, so what is there not to be satisfied with with such an official family?
