Chapter 476 Division of Troops
This military meeting did not last much time, and it was also about various measures taken by the army after the war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Po once again reiterated the military law with the generals, one after another battles were fought, and proud soldiers and fierce generals abound in the army, if they are reminded from time to time, no one knows what these guys can do.
As for what to do after this battle, Li Po did not mention it.
Because there is no need to mention it at all, he wanted to stabilize it before, and govern the counties that he can see, and wait until next year to see the situation.
This is very similar to his previous strategy, not impatient or impatient, moving forward steadily, even if he does not win, it is difficult to have a big defeat, and he will be much calmer when retreating.
And there is indeed some difficulty in the matter of grain and grass, most of these years have been worried about grain and grass, so it is impossible for him not to ignore this.
Will the grain and grass be quickly consumed under the rapid increase in population and return to the past overnight?
Without sufficient grain and grass, how can the people be appeased by taking the counties of Hedong? And with such constraints, pieces of fertile territory seem a little hot in hand.
What Xu Shiji said before is actually not unreasonable......
After that, there are still concerns that one by one the subordinates are not very reliable, if they follow the Yellow River to connect with Wang Shichong and Li Tang, and the rear is not very stable, under the rapid expansion, it is likely to be defeated because of these shortcomings.
But after thinking about it these days, Li Po's mind has changed slightly.
This battle has captured a lot, and all the counties in the north of Jin Land are considered a good year this year, and the south is not barren, so it seems that the food will not be too tight.
Then there is that the goal of this battle is to defeat the main force of the Tang army in a battle, and then take advantage of the emptiness in the south of Jin, wave the troops to the south and have the land of Jin.
Whether it is Wang Shichong or Li Tang who sees it, they choose to cross the river and enter Hedong County, or choose to run the Shangdang counties, they don't need to send many soldiers, as long as they pass on the edict to everyone and reward their officials, maybe the Shangdang will be full of smoke and become a place where bandits are rampant.
This is not counting, if Dou Jiande of Hebei sends troops to the party, it will be called deadly.
This is the era when people are good and are bullied, you are a little weaker, surrounded by wolves, maybe they want to tear a piece of meat off you.
In fact, most of Li Po's previous concerns were biased towards reality, and the latter ones were viewed from the perspective of the general trend of the world.
Of course, the things seen from these two perspectives will not be the same.
And between the pros and cons, Li Po weighed for a long time, and felt that there was no need to discuss with others, because no one would be more familiar with his own strength than him, and he would not be more accurate in judgment.
Even if Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo, etc., or even the generals in the army are called in front of him to ask, most of them are these words, there will be no new words, and he has to make a choice in the end.
And by his side, there is indeed a lack of several figures such as marching chiefs...... The sequelae of expanding too fast are continuing to plague Li Po.
After thinking about it like this, it is actually obvious what decision Li Po will make.
Stick to the key passes, relying on the two counties of Jiang County and Linfen, taking advantage of the fact that the weather is still warm at the end of autumn and early winter, and take advantage of the trend to pass through the counties in the southeast of the river.
According to Li Po's own estimates, it will take at least two to three years to stabilize Jindi and become a good foundation.
Because the so-called stability not only has to make the people's hearts dependent, but also those guys who are on the left and right, they must also decisively dispose of a group, some people claim to be Sui Chen, and some people value Li Tang, and everyone must know during this time that in today's Jindi, only one voice has the final say.
This period of time is not very long on weekdays, but in times of chaos today, who will give you such a respite?
Therefore, it has to be fought one battle at a time, and such a peaceful day is killed, just like when he fought with the Turks in Yunnei, using life and blood to win survival and time.
Since his ideas are probably the same as those of the generals in the army, there is no need to put them forward at such a time and discuss them again.
After that, there will definitely be a military discussion, and it will be almost the same to throw it to the two Wei Mansions, in fact, he is also very tired these days and needs a short rest.
After the military discussion, Li Po saluted everyone three times, and then went back to the back house in a hurry, leaving the generals to drink happily.
On the second day, the army rested for another day, and then it was divided into four parts.
Wei Chigong led Wang Zhibi and others to the party, and then attacked Hedong with Liu Jingsheng, Wei Chixin, Zhang Lun and others, of course, the main purpose of going south to Hedong was to capture the ferry on the east bank of the Yellow River in Longmen.
As for going south to Chang'an...... Before Li Po said that there was an all-round gap between him and Li Yuan, it was impossible for the family to let the Guanxi Gate Valve in Chang'an welcome him, and the troops were also stretched.
The capture of Longmen beachhead can only be defensive, not offensive.
Then Li Po ordered Buqun to lead Luo Shixin, Li Nian, Chen Yuan and others to the west to attack Wencheng, Longquan, and Lishi Counties.
In fact, when Wang Shichong's edict as emperor came to Hedong, the counties in Hedong had already changed their banners and came under the rule of Li Po.
Although Li Po came to Jinnan with the power of a great victory, everywhere the army went, everyone heard the wind and surrendered, still because of the efforts of the Pei clan of Hedong and the Wang clan of Jinyang.
These two long-standing Jindi gate valves, one south and one north, have prestige in Jindi, and for the entire Hedong, they are like two pillars, firmly standing at the top of the food chain.
The two major lords of the Jin land have successively surrendered to Li Po, which has weakened the resistance of the people of the counties to the lowest point of Li Po's army, and the counties are empty, and there are not many troops to compete with Li Po, so the generals under Li Po finally enjoyed the treatment of Li Yuan's subordinates back then.
In some places, before the army arrived, they had already sent people to the army to express their intention to surrender, only begging the army not to kill and injure officials and slaughter the people.
The previous two battles were fought for more than three months, and the blood stained the land near Jiexiu red, and the army completely occupied the two southbound arteries of Jiexiu and Sparrow Mouse Valley.
But this time, in more than a month, Li Po's territory has more than doubled, and the soldiers are bloodless, and they have even been under the counties.
In fact, this is enough to reflect Li Po's vision on the strategy, more than 200,000 Tang troops did not fight in one battle, which really made Jinnan empty, and some guys who still had some strength and waited and saw that everyone asked to surrender, so they didn't dare to take chances.
Hedong is a bit strange here, because there is also a loyal Sui minister, Yao Junsu......
