Chapter 767 Tactics (2)
Wei Chixin was finally persuaded by his younger brother.
And what persuaded him was not actually a tactical consideration, he was a stable person, and he was quite easy-going with others, and he was sent by his grandfather to borrow troops from Jindi at a young age, and if he had a hot temperament, he would not have been entrusted with this important task.
Therefore, with his temperament, he did not like to take risks when using troops, so he led the army to fight, and his performance was inevitably mediocre, and it was difficult to have a big defeat, and there were few big victories.
Li Po has always been good at employing people, and it is not a mistake for Wei Chixin to stay in Jinyang for a long time.
In Li Po's view, as long as the army can cross the river with the whole army, the battle will be won by nine points, and the remaining point is in Chang'an City, which is high and deep, and it is not easy to take it lightly.
Now Li Po is dissatisfied with Wei Chixin, which is naturally because the big war is imminent, and he is quite anxious, not because he feels that he has used the wrong person.
With Wei Chixin's temperament and his experience and ability to be proficient in the army, etc., he will not be easily convinced, and the reason why he finally asked Li Po for an order to divide the troops was only because Wei Chi Kai had a few words to his heart.
Their Wei Chi lineage is different from Wei Chi Gong, Wei Chi Gong is an authentic Han Chinese, his background is quite humble, and now he can be the head of the generals, which is just a coincidence.
But Wei Chixin's vein is a Xianbei nobleman, who drank the wind in the grassland before, but after Xianbei went south, the family turned into a serious official family.
Back then, their great-ancestor Wei Chi Chong was friendly with Emperor Wen Yang Jian, and his son became Yang Jian's guard by the way.
Yang Yichen has been fighting in the south and north for many years, but he has made no less contributions, and his qualifications are no less than that of Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, even if the building is about to collapse, he led the army into Hebei, with a little bit of sparse patchwork of soldiers, but he cleaned up the thieves in Hebei, and even cut off the head of the big demon king Zhang Jincheng.
It's a pity that a lot of the old ministers in the Kaihuang period were cleaned up by Yang Jian, and some of the remaining ones were not able to enjoy their old age in peace, and most of them were overwhelmed by the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and did not have a good death.
For example, after Yang Yichen was urgently recalled to Luoyang from Hebei, he was immediately relieved of his military power, and he was given a book of etiquette to him, which made the old man depressed, until the Luoyang chaos, Wang Shichong and others gained power, and the people of the time called Luoyang Qigui.
Yang Yichen was dying of old age, and he died of depression and indignation.
Because of the chaos in the world and the blockage of the road, when the two brothers heard the news of the funeral, it was a few years later, in other words, the largest tree in their vein fell, followed by the brothers drifting away, and the family history was irretrievable.
The final outcome of these many Xianbei gate valves, they are not as cohesive as the Han family, so pay attention to inheritance, Xianbei people are often weak in succession, and if they are not careful, they will disappear.
Wei Chikai said well, now that my grandfather has been mourned, my grandfather and my mother and your brothers are nowhere to be found, you and I are favored by the king, and we are lucky to be in a high position, and we have this good opportunity, why not inherit the martyrs of our ancestors and create a century-old career for our descendants?
Other Wei Chixin can refute and insist on his own opinions, but as soon as he encounters the words of the descendants of the family, Wei Chixin's heart is moved.
This is what men in these years value, and there is no need to say anything.
And such a tactic is indeed very much in line with Li Po's appetite, and the army gathering in such a square inch of the river beach is really worrying.
If the army does not cross the river in one day, it is in danger of being attacked by people in the middle of the crossing.
The worst-case scenario is that when the army is halfway through and the enemy army comes in large numbers, there is no need to do anything, only to keep compressing the place where the army is staying, and there is a surging Yellow River behind it, so that the front cannot advance or retreat, and soon the army will collapse by itself.
Li Po almost only groaned, and then agreed to Wei Chixin's request, and ordered Wei Chi to lead an army of 6,000 to Feng Yi, and ordered Wei Chixin to find out the surrounding enemy situation as soon as possible.
It can be said that as soon as Fang crossed the river, Li Po had a feeling of overusing his brain.
can't blame him for not being able to hold his breath, the confrontation between the two armies has not been a year or two, but no one knows what Kansai looks like.
But here in my own house, there are constantly people reporting to Li Tang, and I feel a little helpless when I think about it.
Under the gains and losses, Li Po changed his mind, and was supposed to be succeeded by Chen Yuan of Zuotun Weifu, but at this time he had no bottom in his heart, so he summoned Zhang Lun to the Chinese army, discussed for a long time, and then ordered Zuo Yiweifu to prepare to cross the river, and ordered Zhang Shigui and Zhao Shixun to lead 3,000 pro-army to cross the river with Zhang Lun.
After a calm half a day, the weather was slightly overcast, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the army, bringing a little fireworks to this world.
At this time, the whole army of the Right Tunwei Mansion had already crossed the river, but the Zuo Yiwei Mansion, which was ready to cross the river, had to wait for some time, because the baggage and grain and grass of the Right Tunwei had not yet been neatly organized.
The flowing news came from the front across the river, all the cities of Feng Yi County have been closed and defended, and the sporadic reinforcements are rushing to Feng Yi, all of which are not in the climate, and the lieutenant Chi Kai who came out of Feng Yi has dispersed several branches one after another, and learned that most of the soldiers who came to help came to Feng Yi to garrison on the military orders of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County.
In fact, they didn't have time to know the news that the Jin army had crossed the river, and they were still rushing to the aid of some of Feng Yi's people according to the military order of the previous king of Xiangyi.
It can also be seen from this that Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, is more flustered, and he is not a qualified commander, as the saying goes, a general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, he only casually passed a few military orders, and he has already killed a lot of people, and he himself does not know.
And just when Zhang Lun's department was ready to go, Zhang Lun hurried back to the Chinese army.
"King, General Wei Chi sent back a report to investigate, ten thousand years, in the direction of Weinan, the sentinel was blocked, and it is suspected that there are large soldiers stationed, and General Wei Chi has sent additional men and horses to investigate."
Without thinking about it, the map appeared in Li Po's mind, Weinan, the land of Jinggi for ten thousand years, in the northeast of Jingzhao, is the only way from Feng Yi to Chang'an.
This shows that the worst may be coming, and the Tang army has long been prepared to deliberately lead the Jin army across the river for a battle.
Previously, the Tang army transferred troops from the riverside, and Li Shenfu broke his tail at the river beach to survive, so all these possibilities were bait for the Tang army, just waiting for a decisive battle with the Jin army by the river.
Li Po discussed with the generals before, and naturally it was impossible to miss this situation, and once the worst prediction became a reality, how to deal with it?
Whether it is Li Po or the generals, they all feel that there is no other way but a battle, which can be said to be a yang conspiracy, so that you can avoid it, and once you are strategically passive, then the tactical choice becomes important.
At this time, Li Po regretted it a little, Zhang Lun was brave and scheming, but he was not the best candidate to fight the enemy to the death, at this point, Chen Yuan could make him feel more at ease.
When he thought of this, Li Po suddenly realized that in such a battle, he actually began to be half-hearted and hesitated.
Is that high-profile position too coveted and confusing, or is it because the family foundation is getting thicker and thicker, so you have lost the determination to break the boat?
Li Po paced back and forth in the big tent, regardless of Zhang Lun's scratching his beard and rolling his eyes.
With the passage of time, Li Po's heart finally calmed down, and the experience of many years has made his nerves as tough as a steel wire, and with only a little vigilance, it will be fine.
I silently recited a few words in my heart, except for death, there is no big deal, people die with their eggs facing up, they will not die for thousands of years, good people will not live long, and disasters will be left for thousands of years...... The corners of Li Po's mouth actually had a hint of a smile.
The calm and determined style immediately calmed down the bearded Zhang Lun, who was also nervous.
"You lead the men to cross the river as soon as possible, but there is no need to be in a hurry, and the ordnance and baggage are transported together...... You must know that the king is defeated and defeated, in this move, you are said to be resourceful and dare to fight, such a juncture, it is the time for you to display your talents, if the enemy is prepared, I will allow you to act cheaply, and the rest of the generals who cross the river will obey your orders, but also? ”
As soon as he calmed down, his keen sense of the battle was immediately restored, and the first thing he realized was that he had made a very obvious mistake.
Across the Yellow River, he actually wanted to command the generals who crossed the river to fight, and Wei Chixin, that bastard, still took it for granted...... The habit of anger returns.
Unless he crosses the river in person, he can think about it and know that this time is different from the past, how can His Royal Highness the King of Han personally venture into danger? As soon as the battle flag of the King of Han was erected at the time of the battle, except for letting the enemy know that cutting off that head would increase the morale of the official, the rest of the use was not much.
Since you can't personally command the battle, it is certain that others will have the power of the army, otherwise it is a taboo to use the army to pass the news back and forth.
Zhang Lun is handsome, and he can be said to be right.
Zhang Lun's beard trembled, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this time the battle ended, it was a sure thing that he Zhang Lun was the first to be in front of everyone, as for the defeat? That's not in the Beard's mind at all.
The elite of the Jin army, not let the former Sui do not have a penny, and even exceed, the army is invincible, there is such a strong army in hand, who is the enemy, how many troops, is it so important?
In addition to the excitement of making a meritorious deed, in Zhang Lun's heart, there is only the gratitude of the death of the confidant.
After several years of falling and repeatedly shouldering heavy responsibilities, His Royal Highness the King of Han attaches great importance to Zuo Yiwei's general Zhang Lun, not only Zhang Lun himself is very clear, but everyone else also sees it clearly.
"Please rest assured, the king will be disappointed than the king...... Perhaps, when the last general and the king say goodbye, they will be under Chang'an City. ”
Zhang Lun slammed the cuirass, shook off a lot of dust, and said a lot of words, which did not match his rather cunning character, obviously he was overjoyed, and he was a little out of shape.
Li Po looked at him, and said in his heart You are really confident enough, if there is a bad pool in the future, see if I don't cut off your dog's head.
But he said: "Then I can't say that there will be a general under the command of this king." ”
One sentence made the bearded man's heart thump again......
