Chapter 127: The Most Aggrieved Marching Marshal in History
Marching, meaning the use of soldiers, and the meaning of the garrison is just the opposite, when the "garrison" stationed in a certain place goes out to march, that is, it becomes "march", for the Zhou State at this time, the march is the specific meaning of the special name of the army expedition system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Marching" was originally a title given to the commander of the expeditionary army, and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army was usually called "marching commander" or "marching marshal" with the title of commander-in-chief or marshal.
The staging system is temporary, it is set up according to the needs of the war, and the suddenness of the outbreak of the war and the instability of time and geography determine that the march also has the same attributes, and it is set up temporarily and cancelled afterwards.
The strength of the troops is also not customized, it is arranged entirely according to the actual situation, and the number of marching commanders under the command of the marching marshal is not constant.
In some cases, the titles of marching commander and marching marshal will be given the name of the place or direction of the battle in the theater of war, such as "the commander of the march of such and such a road" or "the marshal of the march of such and such a road".
Now, the governor of Huangzhou, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, has obtained a new achievement in his life: he was appointed by the imperial court as the marshal of the Lingnan Road march, if he did a good job, there is a hidden task: to supervise the military of Lingnan states.
What does this mean?
It means that he was yin.
The marshal of the Lingnan Road march, he has to undertake the task of attacking in the direction of Lingnan, and if he does not do well, he will lose face, and if he does a good job, he can go to the land of Lingnan Miasma, as for when he will come back, hehe.
Yu Wenwen was a little surprised that the imperial court was going to use troops against Chen State this year, but it was reasonable: at this time in history, the Sui State attacked Chen State at this time and finally dominated the world.
This is a good sign, so although the imperial court is suspected of being reckless, Yuwen Wen has no opinion, the dry bones in Chen Guo's grave should have been solved a long time ago, so he waited to be the head of the march, but in the end he became the marshal of the march.
The marching marshal was one level higher than the marching commander, but Yu Wenwen couldn't be happy, because it involved a series of filthy insiders, just like Sun Xingzhi, his head was put on a golden hoop.
If the imperial court wants to use troops against Chen, not only to collect all the Huainan land in the north of the Yangtze River, but also to cross the river in one go to capture Jiankang and pacify the Chen State, then it is natural to launch a full-line attack along the Yangtze River, which is thousands of miles away, so it is not enough to be a marching marshal.
The Yangtze River defense line is the western section from the mouth of the Three Gorges Gorge to the mouth of Dongting Lake in the middle and upper reaches, the middle section of the river between the mouth of Dongting Lake and the mouth of Pengli Lake (Poyang Lake in later generations), and the eastern section from the mouth of Pengli Lake to the mouth of Jingkou north of Jiankang.
Three strategic offensive directions, so it is necessary to set up three marching marshals.
Such an arrangement is a matter of course, and attacking from the eastern, central, and western directions at the same time, the Chen army will inevitably be difficult to take care of, and the naval army in the middle and upper reaches will not be able to rush to the aid of Jiankang downstream, so that the Zhou army can force the Yangtze River to cross the Yangtze River and take Jiankang directly.
But then the question came: the marching marshal in charge of attacking the middle reaches was none other than Shannan Dao Daxing Taishang Shu Lingyu Wenming, what if he fought well?
Yu Wenming rushed to get Xiang, Ba and even Jiangzhou before Yu Chi Youqi got Huainan, and then came to Qianfan to go east and go downstream, and directly killed Jiankang to capture Chen Shubao alive, so what should I do?
This is not impossible, the strength of the Zhou army in Shannan is there, and it has been facing off against Ba, Hunan and Jiangzhou across the river all the year round, and it knows the terrain and military situation very well, and there is the most powerful naval army in the Zhou State, according to the past results, it does have the ability to fight quickly.
The younger brother's first contribution to destroying the country was robbed, so how could Wei Chidun, who was the elder brother, feel embarrassed?
Considering this 'what if', Wei Chidun decided to find a way to prevent it, and it was too shameless to force Yu Wenming to attack southward, so he had to find a buffer, that is, to the east of Yu Wenming, and then divide an attack direction.
The appointment of a marching marshal to divide troops from the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion to the east to attack Chen Guohuai's Nanzhou County was a response to Wei Chi Youqi, and then the main direction of attack of this marching marshal was Lingnan.
Huangzhou and Lingnan are separated by Jiangzhou, so this marching marshal must first take Jiangzhou before he can attack Lingnan, if he can capture Jiangzhou, he can also break through Chen's defense line in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and if he continues to attack south, he can't attack Sanwu to the east.
So, a total of four marching marshals were set up.
One of the marching marshals, Xuzhou Governor Chi Youqi, is the same mother and brother, was appointed as the marshal of the Jiangnan Provincial March, as the name suggests, the direction of attack is Jiangnan, first take Huainan, and then cross the river to the south, with Jiankang and Sanwu as the goal.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to brush up on merits, win the first credit for destroying the country, and make the position of the Wei Chi family more stable.
The second marshal of the march, Cui Hongdu, the governor of Xinzhou, is the brother-in-law of the prime minister, and is the own person of the Wei Chi family.
The meat has to be eaten, but the hard bones still have to be gnawed, and Cui Hongdu's task is to lead the fleet down the river from Shinshu out of the Three Gorges and attack the Chen army in the area around the gorge and in Xiangxi.
The third marshal of the march, Yongzhou Muyu Wenliang wants to sit in Guanzhong, so his son, Shannan Dao Daxing Taishang Shu Lingyu Wenming, is naturally appointed as the marshal of the march of Jiangnan West Road, and the main direction of attack is the Ba and Hunan regions in the Dongting Lake area.
If you take the Ba and Hunan is not over, Guizhou south of Xiangzhou is still waiting for Yu Wenming to pacify, and the scope of Guizhou in Chen is very large, covering more than half of Guangxi in later generations.
The fourth marshal of the march, that is, the one who was redundant, was none other than Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou.
Yuwen Wen is the king of the clan, if he is the head of the march, it is a little incongruous, of course, if Yu Wenliang or Yu Wenming is in charge, it doesn't matter, but in order to reflect the attitude of attaching importance to the clan, Wei Chidun specially appointed Yuwen Wen as the marshal of the march, which seems to be a big rhythm, and others have nothing to say.
Yuwenwen became the marshal of the Lingnan Road march, and he had to be tempered by Wei Chi Youqi, and he was not allowed to change the direction of the battle without authorization, and became a wall blocking the east of Yu Wenming, responsible for attacking Ba and Hunan Yu Wenming, no matter how wrong he looked at the map, it was impossible to march to Jiankang, and the two brothers could only watch Yu Chi Youqi take the lead in destroying the country.
The sad Yu Wenwen wants to assist Huainan and attack Jiangzhou, if he really defeats Jiangzhou, he has to honestly go all the way south to cross the Wuling, and go to the smoky land of Lingnan to feed mosquitoes, gnaw sugarcane and eat lychees.
Wei Chidun's wishful thinking was crackling, and the yang plan was also blatantly implemented, with the strength of the Huangzhou army, it was indeed a little stretched to assume a main attack direction and assist at the same time, so the imperial court specially allocated troops and horses to reinforce the marching marshal Yu Wenwen's military power.
also appointed the marching marshal Changshi very intimately, afraid that Yuwenwen would not be able to manage so many soldiers and horses at once, and appointed the marching marshal Sima to 'help'.
If Yuwen Wen 'accidentally' picked up the wrong map during the march and showed signs of a day trip to Jiankang to the east, then the overseer commander Shi and Sima would be very 'enthusiastic' and 'patient' to correct the mistakes he had made.
Lingnan Road Marching Marshal Yu Wenwen, Marching Marshal Chief Shi Cui Dalu, Marching Marshal Sima Cui Hongsheng, Supervisor Chief Shi and Sima are all surnamed Cui, among which there are naturally strange: one is the henchman of Prime Minister Wei Chi, and the other is another brother-in-law of Prime Minister Wei Chi, who is the younger brother of Cui Hongdu.
Two to one, the prison army and Sima ate the coach Yuwenwen to death.
The marching marshal has seven governors: Murong Sanzang, the marching chief, and Fan Zigai, the marching chief, these two brought their own imperial court soldiers and horses to dilute the military power, and by the way, they supported Changshi and Sima.
Long live the marching commander, Yang Ji, the marching chief, Chen Wudi, the marching chief, Liang Dingxing, the marching chief, and the naval commander come to protect the children, this is their own people.
The marching commander was 2 to 5, and the total score was 4 to 6, and it seemed that Yu Wenwen had the advantage in numbers, but he couldn't mess around, because the chief of the army could 'act cheaply'.
The ghost knows how Cui Da will 'act cheaply', in case the other party disagrees, please ask for an artifact like "Shang Fang Sword", which I don't know if there is, the scene will be ugly, and when the time comes, the boss and the prison army will have infighting, and they can only let others see the joke.
The reason why the imperial court appointed Yuwenwen as the marching marshal was to be able to use the long history to restrain him, so as not to let Yuwenwen and Yuwen play a double reed, such a painstaking arrangement made Yuwenwen very 'moved'.
He didn't plan to mess around, so as not to provoke the prime minister, so he accepted his fate.
"King Xiyang, sigh somehow?"
The supervising commander Shi Cui Da asked with concern, 'The most aggrieved marching marshal in history' Yuwen Wen smiled when he heard this: "The wind is blowing, Cui Changshi, the waterway march won't be seasick, right?" ”
"It's okay, the subordinate can stand it."
The head of the navy came to protect the children, saw Yu Wenwen nodded, and signaled his subordinates to beat the drums, and in the sound of drums and horns, on the Bakou River, countless warships set sail and marched downstream.
