In general, there are many prerequisites for winning a war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of the most important points is the issue of the initiative in the war.

Li Po has led the troops for many years, and has carefully studied the military books and war strategies given to him by Li Jing, and his understanding of war has gradually formed a set of theories of his own.

If he were a person like Li Jing, he would definitely record all of this, and maybe he would be able to write it all in, but what he wanted was different from Li Jing and others, and he didn't have much heart to work on it.

With his own understanding of warfare, coupled with some talent and accumulated experience, then the results are very obvious, and such a person will definitely become an excellent military general.

And with the continuous military victories, Li Po himself is constantly proving this.

Just like the wars in the past year or two, especially the battle in the northbound grassland, and the battle with the Tang army in Xihe County, can reflect Li Po's growing maturity in military strategy.

And fighting for the initiative in the war is also very simple in Li Po's view.

The mode of war is nothing more than two, defense and offense, between offense and defense, and the attacking side will undoubtedly occupy a certain initiative.

But the so-called initiative in the war is not measured by offense and defense, which is too simple and crude.

In Li Po's view, if the enemy is on the defensive, and you choose to attack, it will definitely not be an ideal battle, because this kind of cooperation between the enemy and us will make the war stalemate most of the time, just like the battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong at the beginning.

Speaking of which, Li Po's theory is very obvious, when the enemy wants to defend, he must be urged to attack, and when the enemy wants to attack on a large scale, if he can be forced to turn to defense, then the initiative of the war will undoubtedly be in his own hands.

Of course, all generals who are well versed in battle formations also understand a truth, the war is often not so satisfactory, and the gross mistakes can sometimes be made up for by advantages such as troops, swords, guns and armor, or whether the soldiers are elite, morale, etc., plus some unexpected accidents.

This is also the reason why some generals in the war were able to turn defeat into victory after losing the initiative in the war.

A war of small scale, but in the coldest month of the month, ignited the enthusiasm of the generals in the army for war, which is undoubtedly a desire for war out of revenge.

Therefore, he has always been puzzled by Li Shimin's choice to sneak attack Longmen in the deep winter season, and gradually understood that adventurous attacks are sometimes laying the foundation for defense, which is no different from luring the enemy.

At the same time, Li Shimin was also trying his best to gain the initiative in the war.

And this is obviously very inconsistent with Li Po's expectations for next year's war, and the battle to cross the river requires stronger troops and better logistics supplies, otherwise, it will be a disaster.

Even when Li Yuan went south in a big way, so many people responded, but he was also entangled with Qu Tutong on the side of the Yellow River for a long time, not to mention the current situation.

Li Po had to settle down and think about it for many days, and after consulting Chi Gong and others several times, he finally came to a very embarrassing conclusion.

Morale is available, but the river cannot be crossed easily, lest it be taken advantage of by the enemy.

What does that mean?

In other words, whether it is to appease the morale of the army or to avenge this arrow, he will definitely have to compete with Li Tang next year.

In fact, this is one of the after-effects of a series of victories, and the patience of the arrogant soldiers to the provocations of the enemy has been decreasing.

At this time, Li Po could rely on his prestige in the army to forcibly make some decisions and firmly grasp the direction of this chariot.

But after experiencing the battle of Xihe County, Li Po felt that it was not a proper decision......

Of course, he would not learn from Zhao Kuo, so he attacked in response to everyone's expectations, and put himself in the history books at once.

………………………………

In the wax moon, the cold wind is making a final effort, unleashing all its power, wantonly showing its teeth and claws on the ground.

At this time, the end of the year is approaching, and the end of the year has completely become a symbol in this season, only symbolizing the end of the year, the beginning of the new year, and no other meaning.

Crowds of guards surrounded Li Po and rode between the warehouses in the county town, this was a routine inspection at the end of the year, watching the flowers, listening to the officials in charge of the warehouse, occasionally stopping to check the grain, and it was almost over.

There is no drama to catch silverfish and rats and crack down on corrupt officials, this is more like an outing.

However, this year for Hedong, the two states are rapidly entering a stable period, and the half-agricultural and half-pastoral areas have a year to collect taxes, which is a very exciting thing.

However, in the counties south of the prefecture, it is not yet possible, not to mention this year, it is estimated that grain prices will not come down next year, and may even rise for a while, until after the autumn harvest next year, it may be better.

Of course, there is no reference for the price of food now, and there are many differences in various places, but no one resells back and forth to make any war money, because it is all unhappy that he is dead.

Speaking of which, the grain price in Hedong is no longer as outrageous as it was in the 10th year or 11 years of the Great Cause, but as long as the war does not stop, the grain price will not completely fall back to the level of the regular season.

And the impetus of this year's war on food prices is also obvious, and it is almost to the point where there is no market for it.

The rebellion of the upper party, in the final analysis, is still the cause of not having enough to eat.

Compared with Shangdang, the two counties of Changping and the counties in the east are quite stable, but Li Po had to exempt them from taxes for two years to appease.

In fact, the war has reached this point, Li Podu is a little strange, the population has been reduced to a certain extent, not to mention the cultivated land, but everyone still seems to have spare energy.

Li Po imagined for a moment, if he was dedicated to farming in Jindi, could he survive until everyone else starved to death, and then go out to clean up the mess?

Of course, this is destined to be only conjecture, and the war has actually entered a new stage now, and mutual annexation is the theme of this time.

In the next year or two, it will be a big war, this is undoubtedly a very critical moment, and those who can't stand it can't stand it, and they want to farm with peace of mind in such a season? Dream on......

The weather was too cold, Li Po didn't let Pei Shiqing and Wen Yanbo accompany him, and only Jiangjun Beijia and Wei Chigong were with him.

Li Po seems to be in a good mood, and the inspection is almost done, the warehouse is empty, but the grain and grass are still enough.

Li Po instructed them to build a few more large warehouses, because as soon as the grain and grass brought from the north arrived next spring, the scale of storage here in Jiangxian County might not be able to bear it.

Because this is different from Li Shentong's temporary garrison in Jiangjun, maybe for a long time, this will be the logistics gathering place of the army.

When the group walked out of the warehouse, it was almost noon, Li Po sent the other idle people away, and then turned his head and said to Wei Chigong: "It's almost ready, if there is nothing missing, I will send it tomorrow, so that everyone can have a good year." ”

Wei Chigong exhaled white gas, he naturally understood what he was talking about, hammered his chest and said: "Don't worry, the chief manager, everything is ready, and the text is almost issued." ”

Li Po nodded slightly, and made another adjustment without surprise, and the people who opened the mansion increased by two more, Yuwen Wok and Zhang Lun, that is to say, after this year, the Wei Mansion under Li Po's command has suddenly increased from two to eight, four infantry troops, and four cavalry troops.

Zhang Lun came from behind, and the meaning of entrusting him with important responsibilities was unobstructed.

Of course, these eight Wei Mansions were established on the basis of the old system of the military government in the Sui Dynasty, but they are much simpler and very different.

At this time, the generals of the Weifu under Li Po's command all had actual military power in the army, but they did not have the jurisdiction of the military government, and they were not closely connected with the field system and the household registration system.

In fact, this also loses the essence of the military government system, and the military power is divided into the defense government, and it does not achieve the role of using the defense government to control the soldiers of the world without dividing the military power.

This is undoubtedly something derived from wartime, and it is impossible to do it in detail, and it is impossible to copy the old system in its entirety, because of the limitations of the current situation, what Li Po values is not anything else, but the convenience and efficiency of commanding the army, as for the most important role of the military government system, centralization, Li Po can only turn a blind eye.

The previous left and right guard houses, located above the eight military offices, usually staff the military, in charge of the military status of each guard, and the military affairs reported by the guards must first pass through the left and right military guards and then report to him, and in wartime, they lead the cavalry army to fight, which actually plays a role more like the function of the military department.

It also set up the left and right Wuwei Mansions, which were led by Li Nian and Xue Wanche, and were in charge of all matters of the cavalry.

The next left and right guards, led by Chen Yuan and Wei Chixin, and the left and right Yi guards, led by Zhang Lun and Yuwen Wok, are all infantry guards.

Later, he set up the post of left and right protectors, and Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng were divided into Li Po's pro-army.

At this point, a military framework was basically formed.

Because the military power given to the military government is too large, the recruitment, drills, armor, logistics and other matters are all in the hands of Li Po's general administration.

With the adjustment of the army to a certain extent, the reward of this year's war is also contained in it.

As the dust settled on this matter, Li Po also felt that the decision to set up the Governor's Office was a bit hasty.

Empress Xiao's car had already entered Jinyang and stayed in Jinyang Palace, and soon news came from Jinyang, Queen Xiao recognized Li Po's son as her son, if it was in the past, I am afraid that Li Po's family would have to change their surname immediately, but now they don't have to worry so much.

Subsequently, the matter of sealing the king was also put on the table......

If you wait a little longer, it is reasonable to set up six departments after the king, and what will be the governor of the state at that time?
