Chapter 12 Gathering the Crowd and Dividing the Troops
The hour is approaching dawn, and in view of the fact that it will not be long before Bao Hong has to go to the commander's Chinese army to discuss matters, and before that, various matters need to be discussed.
Bao Hong and his subordinates gathered in the camp, and the heroes who entered the first two times were also found, which can really be regarded as a wealth of talents.
According to statistics, a total of more than 1,000 people were seriously injured or even killed in battle, and a large number of people were injured and out of strength. Most of them took place during the Second World War against the Yellow Turbans. Ling Jing, who was fully responsible for handling the post-battle arrangements, opened his mouth and said, "In addition, thirteen cavalry soldiers were killed, and General Luo Cheng made great contributions. ”
The success or failure of the cavalry charge has a great impact on the outcome of the battle, and a fierce general like Luo Cheng can tear it apart, and the cavalry rushes in and tears the opening. Just like a sharp blade, the edge of the knife is sharp enough, and the knife itself will not wear out. And if Luo Cheng's blade collapses and fails to tear through the defense line, the cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Of course, this is also the case of the Yellow Turban Army being so defenseless, if the Yellow Turban Army is the main force against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, a rain of arrows will be enough for Luo Cheng.
"As for the results, they are still being counted. In the two formations, there were nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves who were killed and captured. Moreover, General Luo Cheng not only killed a Yellow Turban Commander, but also captured a Yellow Turban Commander. It can be called a lot of results. ”
Among them, General Luo Cheng made outstanding achievements, and the commanders of Mu Yu and Wang Yong were brave and strategic, and under the impact of the Yellow Turban Army, they protected themselves and converged the main force to block the enemy. The general may report his merits to the commander. Ling Jing continued. Lu Fang and others had meritorious service in guarding, assisting the main force to build a defensive line and successfully resisting the impact of the Yellow Turban. ”
"During the main force's expedition, Song Xuan designed to recruit He Man and obtained important information about the Yellow Turban Army, which also contributed a lot."
"In addition, they are meritorious people recommended by various ministries."
"The Zhou recommended by Lu Fang is brave in battle, meritorious in guarding, and promoted as the leader of the guard, and the temporary team leader. Lu Fang and Li Xin officially took up the post of team leader, and the pro-guard team was expanded into a cantonment department. ”
"Wang Yong recommended Xie Ke to assist Wang Yong with merit, and his ability to take the school examination is also brave and strategic, which is rare. Temporarily Wang Yong's deputy. ”
"The brave fighters of the headquarters, Luda, Yang Zhi, Wu Song, etc., have all been promoted to the team rate, and they are still under the command of the headquarters."
"There are also Gao Xianzhi, Lu Deng and other ............"
Ling Jing's introduction also gave everyone present a general understanding.
"In the first battle of the day, our army suffered heavy losses. There were many casualties among the generals who followed me from Fufeng. If it weren't for Brother Zhong Ying who saved my life, I'm afraid our army would no longer exist. ”
Bao Hong opened his mouth and said, "And there are some positions that are not directly appointed by the general, and the nomination of a replacement has not yet been submitted to General Zhang Wen. Especially the position of the captain, it is extremely important, and it depends on whether Luo Cheng's performance can conquer Zhang Shuai. ”
"As for the others, the same is true for the general, here in the general, it will depend on your ability to promote, but when it comes to the general's authority, everything depends on your performance!"
"Now, then, the subject I invite you to discuss!" Bao Hong continued, "Before leaving, Mr. Shui Jing reminded me that it was impossible for Zhang Shuai to lead his army south to Jingzhou at will, and the main force of the brigade would inevitably have to go north to relieve the danger of Si Li. ”
"Of course, the Xun family's face can't be left ungiven, what does Mr. Shui Jing mean to want us to divide our troops to the south? Or is there something else to it? Where should our ministry go from here, and what do you think? ”
This is also the main purpose of Bao Hong's convening of everyone, from Sima Hui's tone, it is to ask Bao Hong to ask for his life to go south, but Bao Hong can't grasp the direction of the context at all.
When Bao Hong's words fell, Song Xiance had already stood up.
"Mr. Shuijing's words, the students have been thinking about it, and the first question is whether what Mr. Shuijing said will happen." Song Xiance opened his mouth and said, "The students thought that the army would inevitably be divided into three ways: upper, middle and lower. ”
"Oh? Upper, middle and lower three ways? Bao Hong was stunned, "There won't be any upper, middle and lower three strategies to choose, right?" ”
"There are three possibilities, and we still need to discuss it with General Zhang and others." Song Xiance said with a smile, "The so-called upper, middle and lower three roads are the original plan to go north, the confrontation in the middle and the southward to the Jingnan battlefield. ”
"Tell me carefully!" Bao Hong nodded, it's not a dog's bloody upper, middle and lower three strategies.
"The strategic purpose of our army is to deal with the two Yellow Turban forces in Yanzhou and Yuzhou and resolve the crisis of the division. The priesthood is where the royal cardinal is located and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, no matter what happens, the journey north is inevitable. Song Xiance said.
The heavens and the earth are big, and the emperor is the biggest. There's no way around it. Bao Hong is naturally very aware of this, and he will not say anything rebellious casually.
"Although we want to go north, we can't go north with a large army. The first problem that the army has to face is the army of yellow turbans in front of them. Without them, it is impossible for the army to march safely. Then there are two options, one is to defeat it head-on, and the other is to divide the army! ”
"Defeat Peng Yue?" Bao Hong couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Just kidding, when it comes to guerrilla warfare, the overlord of Chu has suffered a lot, and he can't seize the opportunity to defeat it at all!" ”
"As for going south, it can only be said to be an additional strategic plan!" Song Xiance didn't know that Bao Hong was secretly complaining, and continued to analyze the situation, "If I don't wait for the troops to go south to unite with Jingzhou Mu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the Jingxiang area smoothly with just a few gentlemen." Then, the Jingzhou Yellow Turban and the Yuzhou Yellow Turban will be able to effectively carry out joint operations. It can even be said that if Peng Yue finds an opportunity to sneak attack Jingzhou Mu behind his back, Jingzhou is in danger! ”
"If such a thing really happens, in the end, General Zhang Wen will not be able to escape the involvement. Therefore, even if it is for show, a part of the people must come out and go south! ”
"Indeed, it is imperative to divide the troops." Bao Hong nodded, it seemed that Mr. Shuijing's statement was correct, "So, what should we do?" ”
Others were still thinking about it, and Song Xiance said to himself: "The student's opinion is to choose to go north, after all, going north to resolve the crisis of the Yellow Turbans approaching Si Li can be called a rescue work, far from the local merit of fighting the Yellow Turbans can be compared." Although it is said that the battle in the north was under the jurisdiction of General Zhang and General Huangfu, the general's name is still indispensable in the merit book. ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they either nodded or frowned, and their expressions were different. Everyone is not a blind follower, they all have their own unique opinions, and they will not be persuaded by Song Xiance casually.
As a general, Wang Yong, who is also quite strategic, spoke secondly: "The last general thinks that whether it is going north or south, there are governors, generals and other officials who are dominant, and the elbow system is too large, which is not conducive to the overall performance of our army." Since it is a division of troops, it is natural to choose a battlefield where you can freely exert your strength. ”
Bao Hong frowned slightly, although Wang Bodang's idea is good, it has the implication of dying (under Shangguan), but the purpose or feasibility still needs to be discussed. After all, it was really troublesome to deal with such disgusting things as Peng Yue's guerrilla warfare.
Bao Hong only sees this, and some people are already thinking about operability. Even if you can deal with Peng Yue's army, how can you continue to expand the results of the war.
"Bodang, don't you know what I got from Homan?" Song Xiance retorted, "Choosing the middle lane, we have to face Peng Yue, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty!" Don't you know Peng Yue's strategy to disturb Chu? Even the Overlord can't catch his tail, do you think you can take it easily? ”
"Could it be that the opponents of all walks of life are easy to match?" Wang Yong responded, "The opponents on the upper and lower roads are the yellow turbans of the entire state, and this is just a part of it. ”
"That's a mistake!" Song Xiance continued, "What is the yellow turban of the entire state? First, we also have the state's officials and troops by our side, and secondly, because it is a state's yellow turban gathering, is it so easy for all parties to unify and coordinate? Except for Zhang Jiao, who is far away in Jizhou, who can really dispatch them well? ”
This is the transmission of the news is not in place, Zhang Jiao's guy has obviously been killed in Youzhou, and the current intelligence still thinks that he is squatting in the Jizhou headquarters!
Of course, Song Xiance said this a bit too much, although Qu Shuai has his own arrogance and is not easy to control, it depends on who it is.
Obviously, Wang Yong was said by Song Xiance, but there was no reason to refute it.
"So what do you mean?" Song Xiance 'defeated' Wang Yong and turned his gaze to Ling Jing and the others. After all, Ling Jing's current performance was still better than him.
"Go south!" Ling Jing, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly spoke.
South? As soon as Song Xiance wanted to say something, Ling Jing had already begun to explain the reason.
"Since you said the credit, then I will analyze the credit first!" Ling Jing said with a smile, "Do you think it's the credit for ending the war in the south, or the credit for the constant stalemate in the north?" ”
"Why is it that going north is a stalemate and going south can end it?" Song Xiance is unknown.
"Because the battlefield that the north participated in was the main battlefield where the Yellow Turbans fought with the Empire. No matter who wins or loses, it is inevitable that large armies from all over the country will be recruited to participate in the war. Ling Jing analyzed, "Even if one side is defeated, the other side still has to keep pursuing, recovering lost territory or expanding its power, there is a bottomless pit over there, I don't know how long we will fight, how long do you think so many of us can hold out over there?" ”
"As long as you continue to make meritorious contributions, the general will naturally be able to continue to improve, so you need to worry about problems such as not having enough soldiers?" Song Xiance retorted, "It's better to constantly make contributions in the war like this than to be in the southern flat-topped place, right?" ”
"Will we be able to do what you want to be involved in that big battle? Huang Fu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Zhang Wen, etc., how do we stand out? Just a little credit for each assignment? Ling Jing sneered, "And if we manage to pacify Jingzhou and even the Jiangnan region, and then sweep away with a big victory, and lay the foundation for victory in one fell swoop, how much credit will it be?" ”
"But ......"
Song Xiance was about to continue arguing, but a person interrupted him with a light cough.
"Ahem! If we want to follow the army, who else can send out the commander? ”
Although there are still many generals under Zhang Wenzhong's army, everyone knows that if they really want to divide the troops, there is a chance that it will only be Bao Hong and Dong Zhuo, not that there are no others, but Bao Hong doesn't seem to be able to rob them. For example, the deputy general Jin Wu Yuan Peng and the like, they categorically cannot disobey the king's orders. Bao Hong belonged to Zhang Wen's temporary recruitment, and he assisted in the war as a lieutenant of the Tun cavalry.
Everyone followed the prestige, and it was not Ling Jing who said this, but Sima Gao Xianzhi in the army who trusted.
(This chapter is a little watery, and there must always be an explanation for dividing the troops.) After thinking about it for a while, I wrote in detail the process of summoning the characters to discuss, and then the military meeting passed by, and tomorrow I went straight to Jingzhou to start a war. )
(PS: Let's also build a group, the group number is 124752529, don't talk about chatting and discussing, turn back to the birth of props, and it's up to you who you summon!) Note that the current three volumes of the Book of Heaven and the clan surnamed Liu have not yet been claimed! )
