Chapter 1316 deduction

The seed master said: "Before going to the Sixth Road, Guogong passed through Songyang Academy and gave a lecture to the students, analyzing the situation in the Great Song Dynasty and the surrounding countries, saying that although the world is big, it will be dangerous to forget the war. ”

"He also talked about the significance of the Great Song Dynasty overcoming Xingling, in addition to restoring the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, exterminating the unvasive, strengthening the security of the homeland, defending the hinterland of China, and obtaining the land for raising horses, etc., he also talked about the importance of hollowing out the Western Regions and reopening the prosperity of the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties, saying that it will definitely bring huge benefits to the Great Song Dynasty."

He also said that the world is a whole and is inextricably linked, and after an old contradiction is resolved, countless new contradictions and new changes will also emerge.

"At that time, the minister was also present, and after he came down, he thought about it for himself, where will the new contradictions mentioned by the Guogong appear?"

"Later, the minister felt that if the Great Song Dynasty reopened the Silk Road, then a large number of merchants would no longer take the old road of Hehuang, and the Qingtang Dynasty would inevitably fall into decline and become a powder keg."

"And as the Great Song Dynasty gradually recovers the homeland of China and forges ahead, the country's borders will become longer and longer, and more generals will be needed to guard it."

"Guogong said in the recent "On Virtue Again" that scholars should be models in the world, should be the screen of the country, should be for the well-being of the people, and take it as their responsibility to serve the monarch and Yaoshun."

Therefore, we should respect morality, cultivate knowledge, temper the body, and forge the spirit. And you shouldn't spend your time in the woods. ”

"Regardless of morality, intelligence, literature, and martial arts, we must be fully prepared, take the world as our own responsibility, go to the place where the Great Song Dynasty needs it most, and do what the Great Song Dynasty needs most."

"So the minister discussed with his brother and Jiwuyi, and simply gave up his civilian job and was admitted to the Royal Military Academy."

"Good!" Zhao Ji felt very comfortable in his heart: "Mr. Ling Gaozu Mingxi is famous for his moral articles. If there is no Xia people to sow chaos, with the uprightness of Mr. Zu Zhongping, most of them will take the road of admonishment and enter the court. ”

"The ancestors said that the military should be controlled by literature, and recently I have been thinking, in addition to what Fu Guogong said, the system restricts the military ministers, and the military takes the country as the service object; There is also an important one, which is to use courtesy and righteousness to restrain the savagery, cruelty and greed in one's heart. ”

"Therefore, the military ministers must also study and study, cultivate virtue and self-cultivation, and the army of the Emperor and Song Dynasty should not only be a mighty army, but also a civilized army."

"They are not conquerors, but defenders of thousands of years of fire virtue in China, as well as the pioneers of spreading civilization, and practitioners who let people all over the world abide by etiquette and live and work in peace and contentment!"

This set of rhetoric was instilled by Cai Jing to Zhao Ji, and now as soon as he moved out, all the military ministers in the palace were excited.

Such an evaluation is no weaker than Wenchen, and he beat his chest with his right hand: "Dare not die!" ”

Only then did Zhao Ji return to the topic: "Please tell me a few more about the basis for your judgment." ”

Guo Kui smiled and handed the baton to the planter, but Zhao Ji took off the brass pencil from the pocket on his right chest: "Use mine." ”

The seed master took it with both hands, then skillfully pulled it away, stood in front of the sand table, and his professional self-confidence came together, and his temperament suddenly changed: "The reason why we made such a judgment is because the structure, system, and logistics of the new army are very different from the old army......

Next, the seed master began to analyze the march from all aspects, and the final conclusion was that if the Xia people wanted to eat the well-prepared Gao Zunyu and defend it with merit, it would be impossible to achieve it without 300,000 people.

This is actually a copy of Liu Changzuo's Shou Shuangyan, the question is, why did Gao Zunyu do this, why did he turn his back on the water and fall into the trap of death?

Obviously, this is a decoy, the Chinese army is concentrated under the city of Lingzhou, and Su You is also inside, for the Xia people, as long as they eat this Song army, this battle can be completely reversed.

There are several prerequisites to achieve this goal, one of which is the number of Chinese troops, so that the Xia people think that they are sure that they can eat.

The second is the east and west roads of the Song army, and the Xia people will judge that their rescue is not enough.

The Western Route Army of the Song Army also had to guard against the Tu cadres and the Jishi Army of the Yeli Department; The army of the Eastern Road is a long way away.

Third, the Xia people must also have the heart to die.

In fact, when the Xia army marched into the Song army, they had two choices, one was to retreat the latent troops, and suddenly put their troops under the fortified city to fight a decisive battle with the Song army.

This has the advantage of having a large city to rely on, without worrying about supplies and military attrition.

The disadvantage is that once the Song army attacks unfavorably, it can withdraw calmly, there will be no huge losses, and it will soon be able to make a comeback.

Obviously, the Tangut had never fought like this in their military strategy for eighty years, so in the end they chose another plan, the one they were used to.

That is a big gamble, once successful, it can deal a devastating blow to the Song army and completely turn the tables.

They have turned over this kind of plate countless times, so when Guogong and General Manager Gao attacked at the time of their advance and retreat nodes, Ren Duo Lingding, as the first fierce general of the Xia Kingdom, probably did not hesitate, and chose to continue to lurk, and then encircle Gao Zunyu's plan.

This also has the advantage of inspiring his subordinates to die.

Although the current battle situation is still called the Battle of Lingzhou, Lingzhou itself has become insignificant, and it is easy to capture this city with the firepower of the Song army.

The current battle situation has become a military showdown between the last military strength of the Xia people in the Hetao area of more than 200,000, or more than 100,000 servant troops, 30,000 new troops and cadet soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and 150,000 old troops.

This was a situation that the generals of both Song and Xia were willing to see, and it was also the result of their common choice.

In terms of tactics, the Song army made what should have been a siege and reinforcement battle, and became the best defense and reinforcement, while the Xia people fought the battle that should have been defensive and waiting for reinforcements, and fought the best siege point reinforcement.

In terms of strategy, the Song army is obviously superior, and this strategic intention has been fully realized.

This is to form a huge encirclement of the Xia people, which can concentrate on annihilating all the living forces of the Xia people in the Hetao, and avoid turning the battle into a guerrilla warfare that the nomads are best at.

The only problem is that there are too many fish in this weak net, and there is another big fish, Liang Yongneng, who only knows that it is in the net, but does not know where it is, which is also an unknown variable.

Now it's either the fish is dead, or the net is broken!

In the end, the master concluded: "The battle situation has evolved to the present, and the strategic intentions of both sides have been completely exposed to the other side, and it is past the time to do addition, so we have done some subtraction. ”

"Liang Yongneng must be lurking in the southeast of the battlefield, and his goal can only be to prevent the army of the fifth uncle and General Liu from participating in the battle in Lingzhou, so as not to let Ren Duo and Ding suffer from the enemy."

"Therefore, we estimate that he will most likely be in this place, the last post station and pass on the southeast border of Lingzhou, Ma Lian Yi in Nai Li Ping!"

However, this explanation not only did not reduce Zhao Ji's worries, but he just entered the military plane, and his mind was a little flustered when he was calmed down by the atmosphere, and waved his hand to refuse the baton sent back by the seed master: "I'm giving it to you." ”

"In this way, my army is only 180,000 in total, and the Xia people may be as many as 400,000?"

"Uncle and the 48,000 people of the Fuguo Gongshu Department have to withstand the siege of more than 100,000 people in Renduo and Ding?"

The seed master said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Han Chen Tang and Emperor Wu once said when they talked about the Huns: 'Fu Hu soldiers are five and Han soldiers are one, what?' The blade is blunt, and the bow and crossbow are unfavorable. Today, it is quite skillful, but it is still three and one. ’”

"However, later on, the way of riding and archery of the nomadic clan developed day by day, and the equipment, tactics, and organization became more and more sophisticated, and in this world, there are such heavy horses as the Iron Harrier and the Iron Forest of the Palace Tent, but the progress of my farming clan has not been great, and finally it has become a two-level level, and then it has been overtaken."

"Until the firearms that are far superior to the bow and crossbow come out, and the excellent riding horses, pack horses, and then cooperate with the van car, my Great Song Dynasty has now re-pulled this situation again, counter-pressed the Xia people, and once again gained the advantage of being a Han and a five-hu."

"The only regret is that the number of new troops in the Great Song Dynasty is not large now, but with the old-style cavalry army with sufficient soldiers, my middle road seems to be dangerous and safe."

"And the most critical point is that the Xia army, Ren Duo Lingding was defeated by Li Xian before, Liang Yongneng was defeated by the fifth uncle, and then lurked in the dry sea, and it has been nearly a month until today."

"One month, is their logistical limit, and this time, they don't have the advantage of food for me, at this moment, I estimate that the Xia army is in danger of running out of food!"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel excited: "In this way, my uncle not only has no trouble, but even has the possibility of a big victory?" ”

Guo Kui sighed: "Your Majesty, the babies didn't take into account one point, and the return to the teacher who ran out of food was crazy. ”

"Now that the news on the middle road is cut off, the military aircraft department can only judge the situation from the reaction of the eastern and western armies."

"Fortunately, Su Lie on the west road and the middle road can be connected through the Guqin Trunk Canal, and he is still guarding Qiyan at the mouth of the gorge, which at least shows that the situation has not deteriorated."

"Wait, within ten days at most, we will see."
