Chapter 461: The Sowing of Strategic Thought

It's late today, sorry

~~

The ceremony on the school grounds ended and the return began.

Lu Huiqing accompanied Wang Yan to walk in the rain, sometimes peeking at Wang Yan curiously, but did not say a word.

Lu Huiqing asked herself that she had knowledge and talent, and she also mastered the ideas of Da Yan. But to this day, there is still one thing that Lu Huiqing feels that she can't do, that is, the contagion, the control of emotions on the scene. At this point, the Great Demon King is unsurpassed.

Just like the steam engine doesn't just need drawings, the content of the Great Demon King's speech, and even every expression and body language, with his simple, rough, laughing and scolding label style and mentality, this is a complete system that cannot be copied.

Lu Huiqing admits that this is the temperament of a leader. If you use the common saying in the big demon king Xiaobaiwen: it is called the pig's foot halo.

According to his theory, the Pig's Feet aura does not increase the intelligence of the Pig's Feet itself, but it does reduce the IQ of others.

This seems to be a real phenomenon, but anyone who leads must be infected, and infection is a derogatory term in Lu Huiqing's view, which means that he is sick. It is also equivalent to being lowered by the aura of pig's feet.

Therefore, once under the realm of the Demon King, the thinking of the infected person will be simple and rude. This can also be called faith.

In Lu Huiqing's view, the argument of why to fight is definitely a debate and unclear philosophy, but the rough demon king realm can replace others to think about the question of "who to fight for". On this issue, Wang Yan never talked about philosophy with anyone, but simply fought for the country and glory. Fu Ning Jun believed it, and since then, the team of the Great Demon King has undergone bloodline-level changes from the ideological level.

Shouting one, two, one, the military song that the soil is scum, erecting pacesetters, etc., these actions seem simple, but they are a system. Judging by the corrupt thinking that Lu Huiqing saw in Taixue, the Great Demon King is actually an "anti-intellectual act out of nothing".

Maybe, but the Great Demon King is also talking about rotten Confucianism and anti-intellectualism. It's not necessarily who is good between them.

However, the Funing Army's persistence day after day has become a part of their bloodline, the source of their entire collective sense of glory, and the success of the Great Demon King. The existence of this unit, the continuous inculcation of this concept, has an "automatic rate" today, and it can quickly assimilate the eggs of new recruits.

Lu Huiqing doesn't think it's good or bad about this, there is only one point: if the Great Demon King really wins the Battle of Hehuang with this army, he will no longer be able to be denied in the future, and his idea of governing the army will also be rapidly expanded, just like the rapidly expanding industrial haze, it will become his Demon King Domain.

Lu Huiqing was full of admiration and worry about this.

The rise of Funing County is a miracle, Lu Huiqing is self-aware, the real Funing County is not what everyone sees now, nor is it Lu Huiqing's political achievements.

At that time, it was a mass of grassroots, starving and freezing, most of the middle-aged men were sold by the bureaucrats and tied up to the Suide army for slavery, and the streets were full of listless street children.

Coupled with the threat of three mountains and seven villages, coupled with the encirclement of his own people, these are the predecessors of Funing County. It was in that environment that the Great Demon King captured the elite of the Suide Army in the first battle at the mouth of the Dali River, instigated Cao Shouyi, the cousin of the current queen, and brought Funing County out of the darkness by the way.

At that time, those listless street children are now studying in the school, some have already participated in the work, and some have participated in the famous battle of the Yulin River Estuary as soldiers. There are also some people who have discovered their talents and become the top craftsmen, who are innovating production efficiency faster and promoting this rapid process change.

Lu Huiqing asked herself if she couldn't do it in her life. But the Great Demon King has done it in three years, and it has nothing to do with level and technology, and it is impossible for people who are not leaders to promote such achievements.

Lu Huiqing was glad that there was such a person in the Great Song Dynasty, but she was also very depressed, because I was afraid that she would not be able to escape from his influence for the rest of her life, and she would always live in his shadow.

YY was walking in the rain here, and was suddenly bumped by the big goose with his shoulder and said, "What do you think?" ”

Lu Huiqing tilted her head and thought about it: "I have thought about it a lot, but I can't say it clearly, I will talk more about it with Xianggong when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Wang Yan nodded, and he didn't care.

"By the way, Xianggong, it is rumored that you bullied Xiao Su, the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty, in the Daimyo Mansion, right?" Lu Huiqing asked curiously.

Wang Yan said indifferently: "Yes, I bullied him." But don't think I don't like that little freshness. If I don't bully him, he is so good, Ouyang Xiu is so mutual with him, at that time, you and your group of fox friends and dog friends made an appointment to scold him in Taixue, at least half of you should be cold and know no. I hate him the most, I deliberately provoke him to contain him, and he won't think much about the past. ”

Khan, Lu Huiqing was really embarrassed by this, and immediately shocked the big demon king, with his firepower to attract a little freshness, everyone can really rest assured. For example, in the capital at that time, there was a great demon king, and everyone did not have much hatred for Li Shizhong......

On 2 August, there was still no news on whether the imperial court would withdraw the volunteers from Hehuang and whether to appoint a new commander of the volunteers.

However, Dong Yu, the son of Dong Yu, and Di Yong, the commander of the "instructor team", jointly sent three distress letters to the Jishi Army on Qinfeng Road and the Funing Army on Yongxing Army, demanding that troops be sent to Xining Prefecture immediately. Because the situation is deteriorating rapidly.

At that time, it was very hasty, most of Di Qing's elite cavalry were stranded in the Jishi Army for reorganization, and Di Qing himself only brought five hundred elite cavalry to raid Dumen Mountain in the most obscured way. And now, the rest of the main forces are still stuck in the Jishi Army of the Song Military Region.

According to the interpretation of the imperial court on the "Detailed Rules for the Dispatch of Volunteers", the Jishi Army on Qinfeng Road belongs to the Volunteer Army, but now the Volunteer Army has no commander, and the imperial court has no new orders for the time being, and in view of the fact that the Song Army has always been afraid of the Western Xia people, Zhang Moucheng, the commander of the Jishi Army, refused to send troops to rescue Xining Prefecture now.

As for Wang Yan, who was secretly on the Yongxing Military Road, he couldn't rescue him, it was too far. And without the final authorization of the Privy Council, even if Han Qi has handed over the Funing Army to Wang Yan now, he will not be able to leave the Yinzhou Administrative Region, otherwise the first person to list Wang Yan's army as a rebel will be Cao Shouyi, the former great enemy.

"The situation is dire. By August, the Tangut legions had harvested some of the grain and grass that had matured in advance, and the fodder on the river ground had grown wildly to provide a source for their horses, and the time was ripe for a general attack on the Tangut legions. The news of my father's death was earlier interpreted by the Tangut people as smoke, but now that the smoke is gradually falling, they believe it to be true. They also relied on intelligence to learn that the Gyeonggi flood in the Great Song Dynasty was in an emergency and there was a food crisis. Perhaps they thought that this was the time for the general attack of the Western Xia army, so without waiting for all the grain and grass to be harvested, on the northern and southern lines of Huangshui, the Manba and Zhuo Luolan divisions were advancing in batches, forming a gradual siege of Xining Prefecture. ”

"In order to prevent the throat of Xining Prefecture from being surrounded, the cavalry was organized twice to conduct trial battles when he was old, but the Xixia flintlock pistol and the divine arm crossbow were sharp and ferocious, and the Hehuang army was already demoralized, which prompted me to suffer heavy losses in the two counterattacks in Xining Prefecture."

"If Xining Prefecture is really surrounded and cut off from all foreign aid, it will be too late, and the fall of Xining Prefecture will occur before the onset of winter. At that time, if my Great Song Dynasty wants to take back Xining Prefecture in the harsh winter, I will pay a painful price ten times. Then the battle of Menshan, the capital of my father, was in vain. Song will Di Yong, weeping blood and bowing. ”

At the end of Di Yong's letter to Wang Yan, he wrote:

Wang Yan really has no choice, and he can't save it if he wants to.

I can only reply to Di Yong and Nuo Yu: "The situation in Xining Prefecture has been received by the official and understands it in his heart. It's imperative not to expect others to do anything for you. But to see the situation from the root and know what you can do for yourself. In order to slow down the battle of Xining Prefecture to the greatest extent possible, the Western Xia army was able to obtain a buffer and wait for the volunteers to enter the battlefield. ”

"The march of the Volunteer Army into the river is a sure thing, and there is no doubt about it. However, it is impossible to determine the time, and the fastest speed will be September. If you really wait for September, the Western Xia army completes the siege, and you are trapped in Xining Prefecture at that time, and the military situation is not the worst, it is equivalent to the autumn harvest of grain in the Hehuang area, and all of them fall into the hands of the Western Xia army. At that time, the eloquent Zhuo Luolan will definitely block the river and the southern border, and if he adopts the strategy of delay, he will be able to trap the soldiers of Xining Prefecture and the Volunteer Army. ”

"There are many people in the Hehuang area, if there is no local food and forage, even if my Great Song Dynasty does not suffer from floods, but when the river is blocked, the grain and grass assistance in the cold winter and heavy snow will cost at least millions of people's power, and in the case of thousands of miles of red land in Shaanxi, this can drag the Great Song Dynasty into the abyss and become a war that is almost impossible to win."

"After the analysis of the appeal, let's go back to the root of the problem, you need to recognize the situation, that is, even if our troops are sent now, it will no longer be able to stop the autumn harvest operation of the Western Xia Army. This is the first lifeline of the Hehuang area, and we must not rely on external forces, but must rely on self-reliance, and we must rely on the mass forces in the Hehuang area to spread out and attack and grab grain and grass. ”

"Don't stick to Xining Prefecture anymore, and don't fight a positional war with Xixia again. You guys gathered up and sent it, I'm Zhuo Luolan, I can wake up laughing in my dreams. Break up the existing cavalry formation, disperse the attack, take advantage of the terrain familiarity higher than the Western Xia army, small units interspersed to break out of the encirclement, protect the Tibetan people in the Hehuang area, take away if you can grab it, burn it if you can't take it away, don't have any ideological wrapping and burden, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I grab. ”

"Don't be imprisoned by a mere death that can't be taken away, if there is no food and grass, the city of Xining Prefecture is useless. The city of Xining Prefecture, if you want it, then give it to him. The grain and grass in the Hehuang area is the first lifeline of the Hehuang Campaign, but Xining Prefecture is not. If Manba is willing to divide his troops to occupy Xining Prefecture, I will wake up laughing in my dreams, because it means that his forces are scattered, and they have no mass base, let alone manpower to harvest grain and grass. ”

"During the offensive and defensive war in Huangzhou, the Manba Department caused excessive killing due to wrong strategic thinking, and completely lost the support of the people, which is the only advantage of our side now. Even if many units of the Western Xia Army were to join forces, they would only have 70,000 people, which was at an absolute disadvantage compared with the number of people in the vast Hehuang area. It is necessary to carry out correct propaganda and ideological guidance, and make use of the bloody example of Huangzhou to mobilize the masses to fight for their homeland, for survival, and against evil tyranny. ”

"When the enemy was concentrated, I scattered to break through and grab food. When the enemy dispersed, I concentrated on burning the grain. If you can accept this viewpoint and mobilize the masses to attack bravely, dare to give up the idea of sticking to the city, and continue the struggle, you will be able to see the dawn of victory. β€œ

"King Yan of Song, on the night of August 2, he paid tribute to General Yu in Funing County."

At this point in writing, he put down his pen and handed the letter to Mu Guiying to forward. Mu Guiying read the letter by the way and was shocked. Wang Yan's style of thinking is really different from any traditional bureaucracy, and his tactics are diametrically opposed to Di Qing's.

Mu Guiying didn't know if it would be useful or whether he could finally win the Battle of Hehuang, but Mu Guiying knew that if Dayan's strategy could really be implemented to a certain extent, then Xining Prefecture would at least be able to support the Volunteer Army to advance into Hehuang.

In order to support this deployment, Wang Yan immediately sent Di Yong to lead a "team of instructors" of 100 people to be stationed in Hehuang in advance to carry out propaganda and political work.

I heard that the 100-person instructor team at that time made the Tubo people very discouraged, and even Di Qing thought that this was adding to the chaos. But it is better than nothing, based on blind faith in Dayan, and now Mu Guiying believes that the turning point of the Battle of Hehuang may really come from that inconspicuous instructor cadre company that does not even have weapons.

Making these decisions, it looks like a strategic victory, but in fact, there is bitterness to swallow. Wang Yan was also under a lot of pressure in his heart, and he replied to the guidance strategy, including sending a team of instructors to the battle at that time, which was completely illegal.

Mobilizing the masses in the Hehuang area to fight for food will inevitably bring further sacrifices and bloodshed, and if the Hehuang battle cannot be won in the end, this stain will be a rope to hang Wang Yan's political life.

Because the Great Song Dynasty started with Zhang Fangping, Han Qi, LΓΌ Gongshu, LΓΌ Gongbi, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others all held the idea that "low-end people are not qualified to participate in politics and are not qualified to fight", they believe that it is not benevolent, and excessive casualties will also affect the morale of the army.

This is very cruel, this is a confrontation between two ideologies, and no one can convince who is true.

Therefore, rhetoric is not important, performance is king, and it is easy to say anything if you win, and Da Yan can even explain this matter with Confucius's "benevolence and love". But if you can't win the battle and finally drag the Great Song Dynasty into an endless mud pond, then it doesn't matter what kind of mentality Wang Yan has, every action he made to promote the volunteer army from the beginning is a stain and is wrong.

But it is not easy to win, at that time, the Great Song Dynasty itself was in dire straits, and the logistical difficulties led to the extremely limited scale of the volunteer army that the Great Song Dynasty could invest, and it may not be difficult to calculate the Baa, but it may be difficult to calculate Zhuo Luolan.

Da Yan, who has been paying attention to the movements and tactics of the Western Xia Legion from beginning to end, has vaguely seen the power of Zhuo Luolan, and hopes that she can become the opponent of Shenji Yan for the rest of his life......
