Chapter 1293 Strategic Adjustment

On September 25, the six roads were all played by Su You: "The grain and straw of the two roads in China and the West have been accompanied by the army to Weizhou, and there is no mistake." ”

"The Department of Economic and Economic Systems of the Survey Council wants to eat food and horses in January, and the minister has already sent the department to send 150,000 stones of grass and dry grain to men and horses, which can be prepared for January.

"Zhulu spies reported that the western thieves cleared hundreds of miles of wilderness, and they did not benefit from the subsequent conquest and pacification, and they still need to be hoarded in Weizhou."

"Liu Chang Zuojing's original army has gone to Yanzhou, four hundred miles between Yanwei and Yanzhou. Considering the poor response, in order to cover up the attack of the thieves, the six-way transfer division ordered Li Xian to go to Yingli with the Hoarding Army, Gao Zunyu to Mingsha with the Righteous Army, and Cao Nan to Yaode after the town **stayed, and Wang Hou went out of Pule after Ding**. ”

"Several places are two hundred miles out of Weizhou, and Pule is two hundred miles out of Yanzhou, and there are several echoes that are thoughtful, so as not to lose."

"And ordered the East Road to ignore all means, quickly solve the two thieves in Jialuchuan, and then stay in Wang Zhongzheng to prepare for defense, and plant a way to go down to Youzhou quickly, so as to be safe."

"The armies are connected to the big city, and the demise is not fine, so the Shaanxi and Jingyuan Road Transit Divisions are ordered to send Dingfu to all counties to assist in transporting grain and ammunition."

Zhao Ji replied: "Shen Kuoyan, the envoy of the Yanyan Road, said that if the grain transportation on this road is exhausted in the counties of Yanzhou, and the grain transportation must be done, it is bound to be extremely popular and I am afraid that it will not be sustainable." ”

"After the fear goes out of bounds, the husband dies and flees, and the grain war is abandoned, which is inevitable. Today, the camp of Hedong and Yanyan must first dispatch generals, search for the remaining thieves, wait for the road, keep people and horses in the section, and guard the tuntun according to the Junjun, and take care of the grain road in the north and south. ”

"Mention Zhao Xian and others on Hedong Road, and the teachers of all roads want to go straight to Xingzhou and cover their nests. This thought that the army was deep, and the western thieves avoided it, moved its residents, and emptied its rooms, which was really a deep plan. ”

"Gai makes our army gain nothing, retreat without fear, lack of food and fatigue, and then invite me to return, and I should sit down and cause trouble."

"The bitter cold in the north, the barren land, or the lack of salary, the soldiers are tired, the food is not full, the cold and hunger invade the tomb, the sick and the dead are more and more poor and weak. Although there is enough food today, it is still unusable, and if we try to advance quickly, we will eventually fear defeat, damage the national prestige, and hurt people's lives. ”

"For today's policy, Mo Ruo first from the beginning, gather troops in the realm, in the Xia and You two states of leisure, the terrain is dangerous, measure the distance, build a fortress, save grain and grass, finish the summer and You, move the soldiers' food, think it is fundamental, and make it sufficient, Xu Tu is enterprising."

In this way, the western thieves in the Hengshan area will not return to farming, and they will be cut off from their physiology, not bothered by the king, and they should be obedient, which is a perfect strategy. Compared with today's move, although there is a difference in speed, it is not necessary to make a contribution. ”

"Although Xian is in charge of the court, he is deeply worried that the road will fall, and the western thief will be stubborn, or there may be no reach. This proposal is close to the current policy. ”

"It can be transferred to the Military Aircraft Department, the six roads have been reviewed by the Strategic Division, and the Jingyuan Road has been reviewed and recalled, and the Jingyuan Road has been reviewed and recalled, and the Jingyuan Road and the Transshipment Division have been noted, and the whole division should be the top."

"However, the six roads have been discussed and slowed down by the strategy, and now they are promoted, and the saltier strategy is two hundred miles deeper. Is the marshal's plan not thoughtful? Is there a change in the thief's feelings ahead? Fan Chun is in the camp, when there is a hearsay. ”

Another edict: "Huanqing, Jingyuan, Xihe army and horses and tend to Lingzhou, now I hear that the western thieves gather heavy troops to resist the official army, if Lingzhou sticks to it, the king division is deep, and the food feed is far away, how can it be the enemy of civil engineering?" It will break the Lingzhou, and it will take a long time to worry about it. ”

"Ordered Gao Zunyu and Li Xian to plan with each other, and then waited for the defeated thieves to reinforce the army, and divided the troops to stay in Lingzhou. Riding the river and ice, Jian's elite soldiers will approach Xingzhou. If Xingzhou is the first, Lingzhou will be self-defeating. The next six roads are all implemented by the strategic division of the review machine. ”

This is Zhao Ji's heart is a little panicked when he sees that the front-line strategy has changed again.

Although there was a telegram and a group of staff officers from the Military Aircraft Department to help analyze and explain, but the army was thousands of miles away, and Zhao Ji's reaction was actually not abnormal.

The foreign wars of the Great Song Dynasty are often like this, the first operation is as fierce as a tiger, and then all become two hundred and five, Zhao Ji is worried, in all fairness, Su You can also understand.

In order to get peace of mind, Zhao Ji also went to the military aircraft and asked Guo Kui and others to analyze these reports.

Guo Kui is old in the army, and he is very clear about the twists and turns of the military, holding a baton, and analyzing a bottom line with Zhao Ji in a few words: "This matter is very simple, that is, Liu Changzuo used the arbitrary power given to him by Su You, and after forcibly taking Qinggangxia and Pule City, he turned around and stayed away from the Chinese army and attacked Yanzhou, which is four hundred miles to the east!" ”

"Is there any value in Yanzhou? Of course! Because of Yanzhou, the second phase of the strategy is only Youzhou, where the strength of the Western Thieves has long been empty, and it can be easily settled after the planting is freed up. ”

"This will advance the completion time of the second phase of the strategy by a full month, and the army can split up to attack Xingling in November!"

"But Liu Changzuo's move obviously did not communicate with the Sixth Route Commander in advance, Yanzhou is 400 miles away from Weizhou and Xiazhou, and our army has no military deployment in these 800 miles, Liu Changzuo's troops, at a glance, are alone in depth."

"And Yanzhou, surrounded by Lingzhou in the north, Youzhou in the east, Hongzhou in the south, and Longzhou, if the Xia people join forces to suppress it, and Liu Changzuo does not have a new army in his hands, it will be difficult to resist."

"To change this situation, we can only order the East Road Chongge and Wang Zhongzheng to quickly solve the two western thieves in the siege, and then rush to Youzhou to relieve the threat from the east of Yanzhou."

"And Wang Hou, who is most familiar with the road in the middle of our army, can lead the ** out of Pule City, which can protect Liu Changzuo's left flank, and at the same time form an encirclement of the enemies of Hong and Long, and in turn cut off the road for them to escape to Xingqing."

"However, under the influence of this, the military strength of all the departments on the Central and Western Roads is all under the traction of Liu Changzuo, and they will definitely move two hundred miles to the east, and Li Xian's department in the easternmost part must divide troops to defend Yingli City!"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but shake his head: "Before the war, I said that what Changzuo said was broad, and if he was unworthy, he should choose someone to replace him." Now it seems ......"

Lu Gongzhu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty does not agree with this, Liu Changzuo is strong in Qinggangxia and Pule City, beheading the generals, capturing the military envoys, and the two hundred and twenty-one generals under the head of the Chinese army, the merits are not inferior to those of the people, why are they favored and neglected?" ”

"On the day of going out of bounds, the six roads were all commanded by the strategic division, and they were ordered to choose the opportunity to attack and do their own thing. There is no stipulation that after the Qinggang Gorge is recovered, it must join forces with Weizhou. ”

Liu Changzuo's move, no matter what his inner thoughts were, at least he did not explicitly violate the military order. Judging from the after-the-fact measures of the Sixth Route Metropolitan Economic Division, the adjusted control of our army south of the Great Wall will be more balanced and powerful. ”

"Although Changzuo is an old army, he is difficult and self-responsible, not afraid of strong enemies, and has played the prestige of my Great Song Army! I think it is appropriate to reward rather than to punish. ”

Zhang Dian is also a person who knows the army: "In fact, I always thought that Su Mingrun's strategy was too conservative, but now it has been neutralized by Liu Changzuo, but it is just right." There are only a few worries, as long as they are resolved, the current situation of Liulu should be better than the original strategy. ”

Zhao Ji asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Zhang Dian said: "One is the problem of supply repair, Weizhou's military quartermaster depends on Xia, Yinshi's military supply depends on Yanzhou, and now the repair plan has been postponed, and the corresponding military supply has to be advanced." ”

"The second is that the various units of the army are in action, will the western thieves take advantage of the loopholes and wait for the opportunity to counterattack?"

"The third is whether Chong Ge and Wang Zhongzheng can complete the task on time, attack Youzhou, and reduce the pressure on Liu Changzuo?"

Cai Qu said: "The total army of Chong Ge and Wang Zhongzheng is 200,000, and the trapped western thieves are only 50,000, so there should be no problem." ”

"Our army has won consecutive battles, and the western thieves are bold, if you want to say that you have the courage to spy on the movement of our army and wait for an opportunity to ambush, I don't think it is very likely, after all, they will integrate the defeated army, but it will also take time."

"Among these three, it seems that the most difficult one is the first one - the mobilization of military ......"

Guo Kui didn't care about any of this, these are just minutiae, and the correct strategy is the basis for victory.

With a look of old comfort, he said with a smile: "Because of the situation, we will guide you, turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and use it well, and start at the right time." Mingrun's way of using troops can be regarded as experienced......"
