Chapter 11: Before the War

Thousands of generals, strategists like clouds!

This is Wang Song's favorite sentence when watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". At that time, he had an inexplicable envy of Cao Cao, and compared with the macho men under Sun Quan, he would often sigh that Uncle Liu Huang was too weak!

When Wang Song was young, he didn't like Liu Bei very much, and always felt that he would only use means and fake crying, which was very worthless for Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan. It wasn't until he went through hardships and sat in this high position, which was related to the life and death of so many people, in all aspects, no matter how big or small, that he understood Liu Bei's difficulty.

To maintain the fighting spirit at all times in the predicament, how easy is it to say, ancient and modern, heroes and heroes are endless, how many people do it?

In the late Qing Dynasty, Shi Dakai led a large army to leave Tianjing and was killed at the Dadu River, and the last hope of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was shattered.

But it was not others who caused Shi Dakai's defeat, but himself.

On the occasion of survival, Shi Da was happy and discouraged, and even wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and escape to the wilderness to comfort his soul. The commander of the First Army, the spiritual pillar and hope of everyone, was so depressed that his subordinates were naturally lost and extremely disappointed.

On the march, the army departed from him. In the life-and-death and extremely dangerous military and power struggle, how can you convince the people and lead them to accomplish political and military goals one after another without a strong spiritual pillar?

This is also the reason why Shi Dakai died in defeat and was not forgiven by the world.

Liu Bei Hongyi is generous, knows people well, and is indomitable. Just one is indomitable, how many people in this world have done it?

Not to mention, the behavior entrusted to Zhuge Liang by the whole country before his death has to be considered by anyone.

You must know that at the time of the "Longzhong Pair" in history, Liu Bei was 47 years old. With such an "advanced age", he can still strive for self-improvement, and the emperors of the ages, I am afraid that there are only Liu Bang and Liu Bei, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Song doesn't know if he can be indomitable, but Hongyi is generous and knows how to treat people, and he must do it.

Everyone is equal, treats others with sincerity, and has a heart of fraternity, so that we can win the hearts of the majority of officers and soldiers.

"Brothers, everyone has worked hard!"

Wang Song looked at the strategists and generals below with satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

"Only the Prime Minister's military order is obeyed!"

When Wang Song sat down, everyone bowed together.

"Xianggong, our army has been assembled, and we can spend half of it tonight. Tomorrow morning, the soldiers and baggage can completely cross the river!"

"Xianggong, there are now 200 ferries. By tomorrow morning, it can reach 400 ships. It can transport 5,000 soldiers and carry thousands of artillery pieces at a time. ”

Zhai Er and Yue Yue stepped forward together and told Wang Song.

"Xianggong, this time our army has 12,000 cavalry, which can be said to be pouring out."

Ma Kuo stepped forward.

"Xianggong, this time our army carries 1,000 artillery pieces, including 600 heavy artillery, 400 small artillery, and countless ammunition."

Zhang Xuezhi and Liu Hongjin clasped their fists and bowed.

"Xianggong, in addition, our army also has 2,000 grenadiers, carrying 260,000 earth-shattering thunders, enough for foot cavalry."

Ma Kuo stood aside with his fists clenched, Wang Song nodded, and waved his hand at the staff generals who were praising and talking in the tent, and the camp immediately fell silent.

"Brothers, you may all know about the battle ahead. Our army is about to enter Shaanxi and fight with the Jin people in Yaozhou. The armies were arranged as follows, and the brethren heard clearly. If there are any problems, they can be raised and solved in person. ”

There was silence in the tent, and everyone looked at Wang Song with wide eyes.

"Let's see."

Wang Song walked to the large table in the hall, and a huge sand table was lined up

Come, the rivers, mountains, villages and cities above can be seen at a glance.

Everyone was amazed. It seems that the meticulous work of the Xuanfu Division has indeed not made any less effort. Such a fine sand table, I don't know how long it took to be busy, to make it.

Some people also muttered to themselves. How did Wang Song know that the Jurchens were going to send troops to Shaanxi, and he also sent people to draw data in advance and made a sand table here.

Isn't he afraid of doing useless work? Could it really be that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse?

"This is the road map for the march. Our army is divided into two routes, the right flank all the way through Tongzhou, from Changle Town through Luoshui, to the southern foot of Jinsu Mountain, before dawn must reach Meiyuan Town, and then attack the Jinren. ”

"The left flank marched all the way along Weishui, came to Huazhen, passed Xiaqi, and then launched an attack on the Jinren."

The route of the march was carefully discussed, and no one in the crowd had any doubts. However, until now, everyone does not know who the coach of the right wing is and how the personnel will be deployed.

Sure enough, everyone returned to their seats, Wang Song's eyes swept over the big tent, and then he said in a deep voice: "This time, the commander of the left wing is Zhang Xian, and the counselor is Zhu Meng. Li Shifu is the commander of the former army, Li Yanxian is the commander of the Chinese army, Liang Xing is the commander of the left army, Zhao Yun is the commander of the right army, Yang Zaixing is the commander of the cavalry, and Zhang Xuezhi is the commander of the artillery army. ”

"As for the right-wing commanders......"

Wang Song glanced at Yue Fei, whose face was flushed, and said in a deep voice: "It's this Yue Fei Yue Pengju, presumably many brothers in the account also know each other." Brother Yue has been leading troops in Hebei for more than half a year, and he is familiar with Hebei's military affairs. ”

Everyone was congratulating, Yue Fei hurriedly returned the salute, and his heart finally settled down.

After everyone's voices calmed down, Wang Song continued: "This time, the commander of the right wing is Yue Fei, and the counselor is Huang Zong. Liu Qi was the commander of the front army, Dong Xian was the commander of the cavalry, Xu Qing was the commander of the left army, Wang Gui was the commander of the right army, Li Jin was the commander of the Chinese army, and Liu Hongjin was the commander of the artillery army. ”

Wang Song nodded, Ma Kuo stood up, and said loudly: "Brothers Li Shifu and Liu Qi are both from Shaanxi and are very familiar with the local area, so it is no longer suitable for the two of them to serve as the commanders of the front army." Zhang Xian and Zhu Meng said that they have been together for a long time and are familiar with each other, and this time they have to fight side by side, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Li Shifu and Liu Qi stepped forward together and bowed solemnly: "Thank you for your support!"

Zhu Meng said solemnly: "Xianggong can rest assured. In major military affairs, the villain will do his best to assist Zhang in commanding. ”

As for Huang Zong and Yue Fei, Wang Song did not say. These two were once a golden pair in history, and I believe there will be no problems now.

Sure enough, seeing Wang Song's eyes, Huang Zong had already spoken: "Xianggong is worry-free, and the lower officials must do their best to assist Yue in control."

Ma Kuo nodded and said: "In addition to the 5,000 people in the Chinese army, each army has 3,000 people, 6,000 cavalry people, and 2,000 artillery people. Left and right flanks, a total of 50,000 people. ”

Wang Song stood up and said loudly: "Ma Xuanzan and I lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, as the reserve of the army, ready to support the two wings at any time. The two wings of military horses were controlled by Zhang Xian and Yue Fei. Adapt to changes on the battlefield and be decided by the commanders. All armies must obey military orders, and those who violate military law will be punished!"

Everyone bowed together and said, "Obey the orders of the Prime Minister!"

Wang Song stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, it's still the same thing that this official said before. Your glory and wealth, your wife and son, and your name in history are wrapped up in Wang's body. Kill the enemy in battle and drive out the Tartars, it is up to you brothers. ”

Everyone shook their heads again, and then bowed: "Thank you!"

Yue flew out of the camp tent, returned to the ferry, and commanded the soldiers to cross the river. Xu Qing and Wang Gui followed closely.

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to be the coach of the right wing this time, which really surprised the brothers. It seems that the prince still trusts you!"

Wang Guixiao's eyes were wide open and he said enviously.

It is also said that half a month ago, the military order was issued, and Yue flew into Shaanxi. It was really surprising that he was appointed as the commander of an army of tens of thousands of people when he first got up.

"It's not just trust, it's just heartfelt and graceful!"

Xu Qing had palpitations, shook his head and said, "A few of our brothers used to be quite disrespectful to Wang Xianggong. But if you look at it now, Master Chen is still the chief general, guarding the city in Bianliang City, and the official positions of our brothers have not changed, and the number of soldiers under his command has increased a lot. Thinking about it, I really couldn't live with Wang Xianggong before! ”

Xu Qing saw that Yue Fei was silent, and said tentatively: "Fifth brother, do you say that our brothers should go and admit their mistakes to Wang Xianggong, even if they are scolded by Wang Xianggong, they will feel more comfortable!"

Wang Gui hurriedly picked up Xu Qing's words and said, "That's it!" Prime Minister Wang can hold the boat in his belly, and he will definitely forgive our brothers. Fifth brother, do you say yes or no?"

Yue Fei kicked the mud on his boots and said with a dumb smile: "You think that Wang Xianggong is as small as the two of you." He has a lot of things on his mind, if he thinks about you all day long, he can't do things, and he won't be the prince of the king. ”

Wang Gui and the two were both in good spirits, and asked together: "Fifth brother, how do you know, could it be that Wang Xianggong said it himself?"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Xianggong Wang said, if the two of you have a knot, you can be blunt." When you are in the loyal army, you are your own brothers, and you will treat them with sincerity, and no one will be an exception. ”

Both of them were stunned. Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "You two have also gone through something, what is the character of Wang Xianggong, I think you all know it." In this world, he is the only one who can afford to look up to our brothers, and he is the only one who has the grace of knowing and encountering. ”

Several people's faces were flushed, and they were all speechless. After a while, Xu Qingcai said: "What the fifth brother said is that if it weren't for Wang Xianggong, our brothers would still be just a few farmers in Xiangzhou, Hebei. Wang Xianggong has a sincere heart, let's share his worries more on the battlefield, and there will be no second thoughts. ”

Ma Kuo walked over from afar, saw Yue Fei and a few people, pointed to the busy scene of the ferry, and said, "Brother Yue, you are going to fight on the battlefield again, be careful in everything!"

Yue Fei hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Ma Xuanzan!"

Ma Kuo saw that Yue Fei's face was uncertain, and thought that he had something on his mind, so he persuaded him: "Brother Yue, don't worry. Wang Xianggong has already talked to the generals, especially Li Jin and Dong Xian, and asked them to obey your military orders. You can rest assured that no one will hold you back. ”

Yue Fei and the others bowed together: "Thank you Ma Xuanzan!"

Ma Kuo left, Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Fifth brother, Wang Xianggong handed you over, and Liu Xuande looked at the thatched house three times. You should be content!"

Wang Gui also shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I don't have the skills of the fifth brother, otherwise I would also be the guest of the prince, glorious and rich, and a wife and son, wouldn't it be happy!"

Yue Fei looked around and frowned, "I'm just worried, once there is a conflict between the imperial court and the prince, how should we choose?"

Xu Qing said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, Wang Xianggong is now with Princess Roufu, and if you want to fight in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Wang Gui whispered: "Fifth brother, Wang Song is the supreme of the Ninth Five, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the fifth brother is a feudal official, and the brothers are also the founding ministers, what's wrong?"

Yue Fei turned his head and asked, "Xu Qing, is Wang Xianggong really with Princess Roufu?"

"Of course it's true!"

Xu Qing hurriedly lowered his voice: "Fifth brother, this matter is known to the world, how can it be fake?" I estimate that after the war in Shaanxi is over, Wang Xianggong and Princess Roufu will become good friends with Qin and Jin. You'll know when the time comes. ”

Yue Fei's face softened, and he said with relief: "This is the best news I've heard these days."

Wang Song and Princess Da Song tied the knot, and the possibility of the two sides fighting in the same room was greatly reduced.
