Chapter 226: I Don't Interfere
After deciding to drive the expedition, Liang Jia took the civil and military officials to hold a huge oath meeting at the gate of the city defense camp.
At the same time, under the instruction of Liang Jia, there were people in various places who took the lead in talking about the importance and urgency of exterminating the Sichuan Liukou, and at the same time, there were also various stories of the evil deeds of Dong Qixiong, Liu Zhongzhi and others in Sichuan.
In Liang Jia's view, the formation of the idea of the whole people surrendering will be of great help to his expedition plan. After all, if you need to temporarily requisition people, there will be a lot less resistance.
As the coach, Zhao Ximei, after Liang Jia's oath meeting ended, appeared directly in Mengcheng, mobilized the local garrison in Mengcheng and the garrisons who arrived nearby, and searched everywhere for news.
Dong Qixiong and the others naturally received the news, and they also began to deploy troops, and a large number of troops entered the Sichuan Jianmen City.
Jianmen City is the throat of the Sichuan land, built in the middle of two mountain peaks, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to take it, it is very difficult. On both sides are towering mountains, and a single person may be able to barely climb over them, not to mention a large number of troops.
At the same time that Liang Jia set off from the capital with his army, Qian Zhengkun also secretly went south with 10,000 people, preparing to enter Sichuan from the south. This time, Liang Jia asked Yue Fei to drive the excavator as well, and if he ran out of fuel halfway, he would bury it directly on the spot, and if he could, it would come in handy at that time. Of course, there was no one to drive the dump truck, so he could only let Yue Fei come back next time and drive it.
Not to mention Dong Qixiong, they don't know, even the people in the court don't know that there are still 10,000 people who left under the leadership of Qian Zhengkun, and many people just heard that Qian Zhengkun returned to Silla, and just sent a few thousand people for the emperor to drive.
After more than ten days of rapid advance, the army came to Mengcheng as scheduled.
At this time, Mengcheng has become a military city, and the city is full of soldiers, and the traces of ordinary people are covered.
Liang Jia came to Mengcheng with an army of 70,000 on the surface, but in fact only 60,000, and combined the garrisons gathered from all over the country to form an army of 150,000. The army was not stationed in the city, but set up a large camp on the west side of the city.
In the evening of the same day, Liang Jia convened a meeting of generals at all levels, and the lowest officers expanded the scope of the general.
Liang Jia's Chinese army tent gathered hundreds of generals, the lowest officer general, the highest is naturally Zhao Ximei and Xu Yinghe, the two main and deputy commanders, Liang Jia belongs to the extra existence and does not participate in the command. Of course, in the big tent, there are also Xiao Chunzi, Lin Wanwan, Zhao Min, and Xiao Gu, who are responsible for Liang Jia's daily life. Tang Sai'er also followed, but she did not come here, but was in charge of the transfer of intelligence, and had secretly gone to Chuandi.
"The ministers knock to see my emperor!" The generals bowed in unison, and the momentum was quite satisfying.
"Excuse me."
After everyone stood up and stood on the left and right, Liang Jia looked around and began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have come here in person this time. This is not a great feat, but I want to ensure that this surrender must be completed successfully. I believe you all know the importance of this surrender to the imperial court and the country, so I came here in person this time, on the one hand, to coordinate the forces of all sides, and on the other hand, to give you a reassurance.
As long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy and move forward, I will not hesitate to reward. But if anyone dares to hold back, the butcher knife in my hand is not vegetarian. I promise here that those who kill Dong Qixiong, Liu Zhongzhi, and Tian Fuxin will be crowned marquis, and those who kill every general under Dong Qixiong will be named Earl, and a city will be captured and a viscount. On the battlefield, there is a cowardly enemy, and the decisive is made! ”
"Obey your orders!" When the generals heard Liang Jia finish speaking, they all stood up and agreed with their fists like a bell.
"I will not interfere in the specific command, everything is decided by Zhao Ximei and Zhao Aiqing. Next, Zhao Aiqing will give you a few words. Liang Jia pushed Zhao Ximei out in due time.
For Zhao Ximei, whether it is qualifications or ability, it is enough to subdue the people present, which is why Liang Jia chose him as the head coach.
Zhao Ximei stood up, looked around, slowly nodded to the people present, and then began to speak.
"This official is valued by the emperor and serves as the commander of this western expedition, and in addition to being afraid, he is thinking more about how to ensure the victory of this western expedition. In this western expedition, our army totaled 150,000 people, and Dong Qixiong had 500,000 troops under his command.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of this 500,000-strong army is discounted, and there are still 250,000, which is 100,000 higher than ours. There are many enemies, so we need everyone to work together. For a while, the official investigated the situation of Jianmen City in Irikawa in detail, and to be honest, the situation was not very good. ”
"What did Zhao Aiqing find?" Liang Jia qualified to act as a pamper.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the topography of Jianmen City does not need to be said by the ministers. It is only said that the person who is stationed in Jianmen City is Zhao Sanlazi, who is the most capable of fighting under Dong Qixiong. Don't look at his name, but this man is brave in battle, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command is also very strong. To tell the truth, the minister's confidence in whether our army can successfully conquer Jianmen City is still insufficient. ”
"Is Lord Zhao's words suspicious of destroying his own prestige?" Seo Young-hyuk smiled.
"This officer is not to destroy his own prestige, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under the colleagues present, the minister has a little understanding, to be honest, not what."
Zhao Ximei's words can be regarded as offending 80% of the generals present. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was sitting on it, it was estimated that a bunch of people would have stood up to refute Zhao Ximei.
Whether the combat effectiveness is strong or not, as generals everywhere, they naturally know it. But no matter how bad it is, it is also his own subordinates, and he can say it, but others say that it will not work.
After Zhao Ximei finished speaking, many of the generals below showed dissatisfied looks.
Zhao Ximei didn't care and continued: "It's not that Ben Shuai looks down on you, but your previous performance was not good. Today, the emperor also said that as long as the person who makes a meritorious contribution will be knighted. To tell the truth, how many years has this official been a general, and he has not yet been knighted, and this official is very eager. If you think Ben Shuai's words are harsh, then use practical actions to tell Ben Guan that you are a good son of Daliang. The scenery of knighthood cannot be touched by this official, but you can bless future generations. ”
"What Zhao Aiqing said is exactly what I want to say. Superfluous nonsense, I won't say much, and then let Zhao Aiqing assign you tasks. Liang Jia helped.
Zhao Ximei nodded, and then asked people to hang out the big map of Chuandi.
Of course, at this stage, what they are talking about are some rough plans, and now they are first and foremost solving the problem of the command of the army. Everyone naturally has to listen to Zhao Ximei, but Zhao Ximei can't command so many people at once, he must make a distribution to all the garrisons, assign the garrisons in different places to different subordinates of the general army, and his orders will be sent down to the first floor of the general army, and then the general army will convey it downward.
Zhao Ximei's ability to integrate is still very strong, because he came early and understood the situation of each army, so after sending all the 90,000 local garrisons, he left the 60,000 troops brought by Liang Jia to personally command them as the Chinese army.
