0629 The right of life and death should not be taken lightly
"The last general will live up to his use, kill the thieves in Qinghai, build the Jingguan in Hainan, and the remains are in line with the mountains! Come back and return to life, please ask His Royal Highness King Yong to teach! ”
Hei Fang Changzhi led the generals of Heyuan to worship, and although the armor has been cleaned, there are still some traces left by the great war.
Li Tong stepped forward to help the black tooth Changzhi, and said to the generals: "The country of Fan has been restless for a long time, although it was useful before, but it is difficult to make it all. Today, the Duke of Yan and all the soldiers broke the thieves in Qinghai, and once again raised the prestige of our country, and I am very fortunate to be able to conspire with you and achieve this great feat! With this brave warrior, the family and the country have no worries! ”
Welcome the teacher outside the city, and return to the house to play in detail. After returning to the Shancheng Prefecture, the Black Tooth Changzhi and the generals began to report in detail on the process of the battle and the capture.
When it came to Tubo giving up the advantageous terrain of Moliyi and taking the initiative to attack Wang Xiaojie Mizha, Heizhi Changzhi did not hesitate to praise King Yong's strategy: "This battle of Tubo was originally a crowd, but also a home battle, if it was not for its initiative to fight, the outcome is really worrying." Today's war is preliminarily over, and when it comes to merits, His Royal Highness King Yong should be the first to strategize! ”
One of the biggest opportunities for the victory of this battle was that Tubo was forced to abandon its original position. Only when this is done can the impossible become possible.
After appreciating the bravery and ferocity of the Tubo army on the battlefield, the generals had a deeper feeling for this, and did not feel that it was an exaggeration to say that King Yong was the first to take the lead in this battle.
Hearing the generals say this, Li Tong just smiled reservedly, and naturally he was very happy in his heart.
Although he did not personally supervise and command this battle, he could indeed be called exhausted. At present, such a result, in addition to the satisfaction of reaping the rewards of hard work, he also vaguely felt how to defeat the enemy in the face of an opponent like Qin Ling.
Qin Ling has a keen talent that is almost intuitive on the battlefield, and can play all kinds of brilliant battles that ordinary people find incredible. But on the other hand, his view of the big picture is somewhat dwarfed, at least not as brilliant as his military talents.
All the achievements of Qinling are based on the overall foundation opened up by his father and brother, under the monopoly of Lu Dongzan's father and son, and the cooperation between internal and external, Tubo ushered in the first peak period of expansion, and the results in the surrounding areas of the region are extremely brilliant.
However, with the death of his father and brother, when Qin Ling began to preside over the overall situation, his shortcomings in ability were highlighted. Although it was repeatedly entangled with Datang in the Western Regions, it was never able to gain a strategic advantage, and once Datang increased its attention to the Western Regions and increased investment, the order of the four towns was re-established.
As for Qinghai, the situation after the Battle of Chengfengling was basically maintained, and there was almost no new development. In Longyou, the Tang Dynasty only built a defense system with the Heyuan Army as the center and fortified along the Chiling, while the Yellow River Jiuqu in southern Qinghai had almost no substantive control.
But even so, the power of Tubo still did not penetrate too much into the land of Jiuqu, but the Hu tribes in the land of Jiuqu had a lot of resistance to Tubo.
In the past ten years, the foreign war has been almost fruitless, and the country is full of rebellions, which greatly destroys the order and situation created by Lu Dongzan and Zanxiruo during their reigns. As a result, Qinling was distracted by the turmoil in the country, and was unable to concentrate on continuing to expand outward.
Although there are many reasons for this situation, it also shows that Qinling is indeed not very talented in the overall situation of governance, and it can even be said that it is very poor.
Even if he still performed well on the battlefield, the Gar family, which had been in power for nearly 50 years and had been in charge of the national fortunes of Tibet, was finally destroyed at the hands of this Tibetan god of war.
When it comes to the art of war, Li Tong is not Qinling's opponent. But when two great powers are at war, the elements that determine victory or defeat never stop there. Datang is also in turmoil in the new economy and politics, especially Chang'an, which is the core of Guanzhong, is also in chaos, and it can hardly provide any effective help to Longyou.
But under such circumstances, Li Tong was able to assemble and dispatch the Longyou figures more quickly and effectively, so that the Tang army had enough strength to open up Qinghai.
When it comes to the dispatch of the overall strategic situation, Li Tong does not have to be arrogant at all, he is able to beat Qinling.
Of course, Li Tong was not the only one who discovered Qinling's ability defect. At least Guo Yuanzhen, who successfully got rid of the first power gate in Tubo in history, and Zampu Chidu Songzan, who succeeded to the throne when he was young and centralized power in his prime, have a deep insight into the shortcomings of Qinling, and each has made excellent targets.
What if you are invincible and invincible on the battlefield at every turn, Lao Tzu kills you, and you don't even need to use swords.
Of course, when it comes to this battle, Li Tong's scheduling and integration of Longyou only provides a possible basis. The reason why he was able to win was that the bloody battle between Heiya Changzhi and all the soldiers was the most direct reason.
Especially when he heard that Qinling took the initiative to give up the attack on Wang Xiaojie Mizha and lured the Tang army to pursue him, Li Tong couldn't help frowning.
He didn't think that Qinling's move was just a pure inducement for the Tang army to attack, after all, the initiative to pursue or not lay with the Tang army, and the victory or defeat could not be completely pinned on the top.
If the Tang army had continued to maintain a strategically conservative posture and not pursue, it was possible that Qinling would have withdrawn directly to Haixi. If the situation is incomparable, knowing how to give up at the right time is also the basic quality that a general should have.
Although the attack on Wang Xiaojie Mizha was fruitless, at least it also made Qinling realize that the Tang army's attack on Qinghai was not rash, and it did have combat effectiveness that matched this goal, and it needed to pay more attention to it when attacking again.
But the Tang army still attacked, which also gave Qinling a chance to turn defeat into victory and turn the war around, so it was natural to take advantage of it.
For the Tang army, being able to successfully repel the attack of Tubo in Wang Xiaojie Mizha was, of course, a preliminary fulfillment of the strategic intention and the consolidation of the Tang army's occupation of the Haidong region. However, it can only be said that it has been basically completed, and Haidong, a piece of chicken ribs, is not enough to completely reverse the situation of confrontation between the two countries around Qinghai.
Therefore, when the enemy's decline is fully revealed, it is also a natural choice to pursue bravely and continue to expand the results of the battle, even if it is a clear plan.
But when he heard that the generals had directly violated the majesty of the main general of the Black Tooth Changzhi in order to invite the battle, Li Tong still frowned faintly. But he didn't just have a seizure, because the matter itself was complicated.
The so-called military law is like a mountain and orders and prohibitions are only a state that exists in the theory of the art of war, and once such a requirement is made in reality, it is completely disregarding and obliterating people's subjective initiative.
The so-called army is a pure killing machine, and it does not need to have its own ideas, which is only a criterion for key law debate, not to say that it cannot be done, and even if it can be done, it must be destroyed.
The vicious phenomenon of generals competing for merit cannot be eradicated in the military. Not to mention that in this era of cold weapons, even in later film and television works, Li Yunlong of the independent group still has many fans.
The phenomenon cannot be eradicated, and the key depends on how the Lord will deal with it on the spot. If handled well, it doesn't hurt, and it may even be a surprise. If it is not handled well, it may destroy the good situation and turn the victory into defeat.
Not to mention anything else, when the main general of the Black Tooth Changzhi fought against the Turks in the year of the vertical arch, he was pitted very badly by his pig teammates. As for Wang Xiaojie, not to mention, he is reckless, and the so-called strategic cooperation does not exist for him.
How the Lord will deal with this issue is also related to their personalities and circumstances. For example, when Li Tong entered Guanxi, he directly cut down dozens of people at Lanqiao Station in Lantian County, establishing his image of strict law enforcement and military orders.
But if Hei Tooth Changzhi dared to do this at that time, not to mention how the troops reacted at that time. No matter how much Li Tong in the rear believes in him, he has to beat the drum in his heart, you want to go to heaven? For the above, only the right to live and kill cannot be taken lightly.
It is true that military orders are like mountains, but things must be flexible, how to command the troops, ensure the majesty of the commander-in-chief's orders, and at the same time, but also flexibly use the initiative of the troops, so as to achieve the final victory, otherwise the famous general will not be called a famous general.
Military law is dead, but the one who enforces the law is alive. The reward and punishment come from me, and the grace is naturally manifested, and An Lushan also plays like this.
Li Tong had long had the idea of being the master of the house and setting up his own door, so the punishment and reward were clear and did not be restrained. But just because he did so did not mean that he was willing to give this power to his subordinates.
Now that we know that there is such a dispute, it is still necessary to deal with it. Now that the whole army has won a great victory, it is not appropriate to criticize the generals too harshly.
After a little silence, Li Tong said in a deep voice: "The incident happened in the battle array, and it is in the battle array, and it is not necessary to form a gong table for entering the imperial court." However, if you and other generals compete for power, you must not go unpunished. The army is newly victorious, and it is not appropriate to torture the shackles to damage morale. In this way, no matter what the imperial court confers, I will reduce the reward of you and other generals who violate the order by 30%. The reduction was not left in the shogunate, and it was included in the Chang'an Ancient Clothes Society, and in addition to the imperial court's mercy, the battalion soldiers who were injured in the war were compensated. ”
At that time, they were fighting to pursue, but they were counter-killed by the Tubo army, and some generals were directly submerged in the battle, and the unrivaled performance of the main general Hei Yachang stimulated the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so that they were able to turn defeat into victory.
At this time, in retrospect, all the generals were inevitably afraid. Hearing King Yong say this, some people were happy and convinced, and were willing to accept such punishment.
Although some people don't say it, they are still a little unhappy in their hearts, and the victory is brilliant, so it can be seen that the decision at that time was not wrong, but King Yong still cares about such a subsection, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Tong saw that the generals had different expressions, so he continued to smile and said: "I and you are both famous and powerful, and we can be regarded as having a deep friendship with each other, and we will not make a big fuss and hinder your future." The execution is not a reference to the penal code, but a warning based on the circumstances. Whether or not to receive it is voluntary. If you are still on the sidelines, you don't have to damage your long-term relationship because of this small gap. But if I return to the court, I will not privately rebuke me, send the words to each other, and wish the future a great future. ”
This is very clear, if the generals are still willing to accept the temperance of King Yong in Longyou, then they will receive such a punishment. But if they are unwilling to bear this punishment, King Yong will also recommend them to the court.
Hearing King Yong say this, many generals present got up and crossed their hands and said: "The last general will follow His Royal Highness's tent, fight heartily and kill Fan happily, and will not suffer from merit, and will be willing to suffer this punishment." ”
But there are also a small number of generals who are not without a lack of apprehension and said: "After many years away from the country, the hometown news is far away, and it is also an honor for the last general to be able to serve His Highness's teaching." But I am homesick and look forward to returning to my country......"
Entering the dynasty to serve as a janissary is also very tempting for the border generals.
After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and Li Tong has no need to obstruct them, while verbally encouraging these people who choose to return to the court, and saying that he will give them a look after the merit is drawn up to show his selflessness.
