Chapter 1179: Bear it together
This matter, even if Shi Zhuang is a general, he can't do it alone, because the logistics of the troops are in the hands of the local governor. For a small-scale military operation, Shi Zhuang can completely not rely on Qian Biao, but for a large-scale battle like this, the whole defense must be mobilized in a large-scale manner, then it must be agreed with the local governor. Especially without the authorization of the military council.
This is an act of ultra vires, and even if this judgment is proved to be correct later, I am afraid that it will not be rewarded, and maybe there will be punishment. Because for the center, such a thing is more taboo.
In other words, as long as this matter is done, it is very likely to be a stain on Qian Biao and Shi Zhuang above politics.
Of course, it is not without gains.
At the very least, you can reap the friendship of Li Mi, the general of the Right Thousand Niuwei, and the gratitude of the local people in Eyue.
Moreover, once it is proved that this thing was done right, then even if there is a punishment, the imperial court will recognize the vision and judgment of Shi Zhuang and Qian Biao on the basis of strategy.
How so?
The coexistence of loss and gain can only depend on the trade-off between the two.
Now, Shi Zhuang has shown his attitude, and the ball has been kicked to Qian Biao.
Qian Biao got up and paced slowly in the room, he had to calculate the gains and losses here.
Militarily speaking, he basically agreed with Shi Zhuang's judgment that if they did not send troops to rescue, Ren Dagou would become Ren Death Dog nine times out of ten, and Eyue would also suffer a crisis.
Agree to send troops, the ultimate responsibility for this matter, he will have to bear it with Shi Zhuang, in general, as long as the result is good, the final punishment is very likely to be thunder and rain, if you earn Yiyang because of this, and at the same time keep Eyue, then you will thwart the plot of the Southern Group on the strategic basis.
More importantly, Li Mi's identity is extraordinary, and if he has gained her friendship, it also means that he has obtained the friendship of Cao Xin, Cao Zhang, Empress Liu Ruyan and even Emperor Li Ze at the same time.
This thing is still done.
On the surface, there will be a stain on politics, but this stain is the shining point for myself to go further in the future!
"It's done!" He turned around and looked at Shi Zhuang: "What does the general need?" ”
Shi Zhuang was not the slightest surprised, as if he had long known that Qian Biao would make such a later decision.
"Food, logistics, and baggage are needless to say." Shi Zhuang said: "I also need Governor Qian to mobilize the youth of the people as much as possible, when the reorganization this year, isn't there a large number of veterans retired?" Governor Qian needs to regroup them. ”
"We have enough troops!" Qian Biao frowned.
"Our main force needs to poke straight into the gap at the mouth of the Shuangjiang River!" Shi Zhuang said: "I want to kill all the way to Changsha." Now Changsha is a hollow rice ball, all their troops are either in Yiyang or Xiangtan, I believe that Ding Hao must have exhausted Changsha's effective forces in order to take down Ren Dagou. At this time, our army suddenly appeared in Changsha, and Ding Taiyi's lair was in our pocket. ”
Shi Zhuang made a gesture and said with a smile: "More importantly, once Changsha is attacked, no matter how eager Ding Hao wants to take down Ren Dagou, I am afraid that he will have to return to the division to rescue." In this way, the pressure on Ren Dagou will be greatly reduced. ”
"If you have enough troops, you can even intercept these Hunan troops who are back to defend Changsha halfway, and maybe you can directly kill Xiangtan and drag Ren Dagou out of the swamp." Qian Biao added.
"Not bad!" Shi Zhuang nodded and said, "So I need enough troops to confuse Ding Sheng on the Yiyang front." If he had been given a glimpse of our true intentions and had given up the Yiyang division to aid Changsha first, our calculations would inevitably fall into vain. At that time, even if he got Yiyang, he still couldn't save Ren Dagou. ”
Qian Biao sighed: "General, to tell the truth, no matter how fast we act, I am afraid that the only ones we can save in the end are Yu Xiaowen, Li Yu, and Ren Dagou's army is in the center of the storm, but I am afraid that it will not be saved." ”
"Then it depends on the determination and tenacity of Ren Dagou's subordinates and how vigilant they are about the current battle situation!" Shi Zhuang said: "The sooner he perceives the enemy's conspiracy, the sooner he can make some arrangements, he can hold on for one more day and wait for the entire battle situation to change." ”
"That's the eye of the storm, and it's the flesh mill." Qian Biao said: "The Southern Alliance is determined to win, and even Yiyang is willing to give up, so you can imagine the risk of this battle." ”
"The Southern Alliance has made a lot of money." Shi Zhuang smiled: "Yiyang is using it to tempt us this time. But I've always had a big appetite, I want Yiyang, and I don't want to lose the other side. ”
"Yiyang I want it too!" Qian Biao laughed.
Now he, the governor of Hunan, has a false appearance, except for the surroundings of Yueyang, other places are still under the control of Ding Taiyi, if he can take Yiyang this time, it will finally be worthy of the name. Further, if Shi Zhuang sent troops, really took Changsha, and thwarted the conspiracy of the Southern Alliance in Xiangtan, would the whole of Hunan be far from him?
At that time, when he gathered in Chang'an with other governors, he could puff up his chest and stride forward, unlike the last time, when he saw the governors of other places, he always felt inferior.
"General Shi, the youngest grandson of a certain family, has been a little frail and sick for a period of time, where are the famous doctors in Chang'an, I am going to ask the wife of a certain family to go to Chang'an with the little grandson, and ask Imperial Doctor Jin to take a look." Qian Biao said.
Shi Zhuang was stunned, but immediately reacted.
This is Qian Biao showing his attitude in the direction of Chang'an! In the competition between the Qian family and the Zhu family, the family was almost wiped out, and Qian Biao's current little grandson is the only one seedling among their third generation, and Qian Biao looks like an eyeball.
"It's good that Imperial Doctor Jin is indeed a superior doctor. In this way, I am also about to send Shi Ping to explain the reason for my decision to the Military Committee, Xia Zhu also misses the imperial concubine very much, so let them go to Chang'an together as a companion! Shi Zhuang said.
"That's great!" Qian Biao smiled with satisfaction.
Shi Ping is Shi Zhuang's only son, and his youngest grandson is the hope of the future of the two families, Xia Zhu and Xia He are sisters, so going to Chang'an, the weight is enough.
"Money, food, ordnance, mules and horses, we have enough of them." Qian Biao said: "The general also knows that my wish all the time is to take Hunan as soon as possible, so that my governor lives up to his name." Although the center was reluctant to start a large-scale war at this time, I have been preparing for it. Haha, the plan always can't catch up with the changes, and this war is still started in advance. ”
Shi Zhuang smiled, stood up, and arched his hand: "In this way, then my side will start to act." ”
"The general let go of his hands and do it, and I will ensure that the supply is in place on my side for the logistics baggage, and we will never let our soldiers suffer from cold and starvation." Qian Biao said.
The two giants of Hunan reached an agreement, and the entire theater immediately took action.
Shi Zhuang decided to personally lead the elite to join the front-line battle in Xiangtan, and on the front-line of Yiyang, Liang Han was responsible for the military deception of Ding Sheng, so that Ding Sheng thought that the Tang army would seize this opportunity to launch a full-line attack on Yiyang.
Just when the Hunan garrison was mobilized on all fronts, Yu Xiaowen, a right thousand Niu Wei stationed in Jiujiang, also received an urgent military situation from Yichun and other places, Yu Xiaowen was shocked, without the slightest delay, except for immediately reporting the military situation to Li Mi in Ezhou, he did not delay for a moment, first sent all the cavalry under his command to Yichun, and the rest of the main force was also fully dispatched.
And as the army approached Yichun, Yu Xiaowen's mood became more and more heavy, countless scouts were converging a piece of information to his desk, small Yichun, Qian Shouyi gathered nearly 30,000 troops, and according to the situation of the other party shown by these intelligences, Qian Shouyi made it clear that he wanted to use an iron bucket array to deal with himself.
This is to block themselves from Yichun, so that they can calmly defeat Ren Xiaonian between Zhuzhou and Xiangtan. It will take several days to rush to Yichun by himself, and it will also take time to defeat Qian Shouyi's defense in Yichun. Even if he can do all this, will Ren Dagou still exist at that time?
"General, the artillery is too heavy, the roads are muddy, and it's really hard to walk. If you don't give up this thing, let's move forward lightly! The deputy general, who was covered in muddy water, suggested to Yu Xiaowen.
"Requisition more people, I don't care what method you use, these four cannons, you must transport them to Yichun within the specified time for me!" Yu Xiaowen ignored the embarrassed look on the adjutant general's face, and said sharply: "If you don't do it then, I will punish you for delaying the military machine!" Now don't talk to me about any difficulties, all my thoughts will be used for me to solve them. ”
Looking at the back of the deputy general leaving, Yu Xiaowen sighed, he knew that his subordinates actually had resentment in their hearts, Ren Dagou's eating appearance was too ugly, if he knew himself and let himself take over Yichun in advance, how could there be such a big leak? Now that something has happened, they have to come to mend the pot.
But now there is no time to pay attention to these bad things, this matter is over, if Ren Dagou is still alive, I am afraid that his future in the army will also be over.
Things have developed to this point, but I'm afraid it's no longer a problem that the Right Qianniuwei family can solve. Unless the imperial court insists on the previous principle and sits back and watches the entire Ren Xiaonian department be wiped out, this is absolutely impossible.
The entire grand strategy of the imperial court is about to take a sharp turn at this point, and Yu Xiaowen can imagine the anger of the court bigwigs.
