Chapter 102 The soldiers in the tent express their opinions
Sima Wen's analysis was recognized by everyone in the account, and people nodded their heads one after another, and Zhao Chuan smiled excitedly and said:
"Lord, in that case, what are we waiting for!? Please give the order of the lord and lead the army out of Pingyang, and the last general is willing to be the first to take the lead! β
Lu Chen was just about to speak, but at this time, Li Miaocai immediately followed Zhao Chuan's words and said: "Lord, I also think that what General Zhao Chuan said is reasonable, and our army should leave Pingyang immediately,"
"Oh?" Lu Chen first glanced at Zhao Chuan, then looked at Li Miaocai, and asked, "Sir, can you elaborate." β
"Dare to ask the lord, where is our basis?"
"Naturally, it's Pingzhou."
Li Miaocai said: "Then I think that no matter what, we can't pull the main battlefield to Pingyang County, because once this happens, our side will completely fall into a passive situation, and will always be on the defensive, so that it will be besieged by the rebels, and it will be difficult to do anything in terms of tactics, and more importantly, all the people of the Wind Country are watching this big battle right now, our army is known as crusading against traitors, if the army can't get out of Pingyang for a long time, it will be defeated!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Huairen immediately agreed: "My lord, although I don't know how to soldier, I also think that it is not appropriate for our army to start a decisive battle with the enemy army in Pingyang County, because in this way, on the surface, it will make the people in Pingyang County panic, you must know that Pingyang County is the rear base of our army, and it is really the top priority, all the grain and grass supplies and ordnance and military resources need to be transported to the army from here, Pingyang County must be stable as usual!" β
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded, and Xue Huairen continued: "In addition, I heard that in order to strictly prevent the fine work from mixing into Pingzhou, the lord has ordered the city gate guards to conduct a strict investigation of the people from all over the country who came to Pingzhou, resulting in hundreds of people being turned away from the city!" β
"What? Could it be that Lord Xue thinks there is something wrong with this? Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's really inappropriate!" Xue Huairen said unceremoniously: "The current Fengguo, except for my Pingyang County, all other places have been usurped by Ding thieves, since the people from all over the world are rushing into Pingyang County, then may I ask the lord, isn't this just showing that the hearts of the people in the world are all towards the lord?" In this case, why does the lord still turn away the people who come to take refuge, isn't it the heart of the people of the country that is cold in the world! Lord, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! If there are no people, there will be no soldiers, horses, money and food, all of which must be supported by the people, and the people have come to Pingyang with their families, which just shows that people are yearning for the country of wind in their heartsββ"
"Moreover, I dare to ask the lord, if Ding Rui really wants to mix into Pingzhou, how can the lord really prevent it? Rather than this, it is better to open the city gate and welcome the people from all over the country to enter the customs, and at the same time, our army will immediately go out of Pingyang, so even if there is an enemy in the city, our army is no longer there, what is the use of those fine works? β
"Hiss......" Hearing him say this, Lu Chen immediately couldn't help but take a breath, and said thoughtfully: "Lord Xue's words are like an enlightenment, and Lu Chen has been taught. β
"The lord is wise and martial, how dare he speak and teach." Xue Huairen hurriedly and cautiously replied.
No matter how smart and capable a person is, if he wants to achieve great things, he must be assisted by a group of capable subordinates. If he was stubborn and self-serving, he wouldn't listen to anyone's opinions, and only thought that his thoughts were right, then Lu Chen would definitely not be able to get to this position today!
He is a modern man with an open-minded mind, and this innate advantage allows him to keenly perceive whose opinion is helpful to him and whose opinion is worthless!
"Good! Now that it has been decided to pull the main battlefield outside Binh Duong County, how should our army march next? Lu Chen looked around and said, "Do you have any good plans, let's talk quickly." β
In the beginning, the suggestions put forward by several strategists were all based on major strategic principles, not tactical tactics, and the generals in various armies could not intervene in such major strategic issues.
At this time, seeing Lu Chen mentioning the war, Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi suddenly came to their senses. The former immediately gave up his hand and said:
"My lord, since the gentlemen have strategically proposed that our army should be the first to get out of Pingyang, then I will think that our 200,000 troops should seize Changzhou with lightning speed! Then, with Changzhou as the boundary, gradually go south, and recover the counties in turn, until the army breaks through Fengzhou and kills the rebels! β
The Changzhou in Xiao Wang's mouth is the county seat of Wuyang County, which is a neighbor of Pingyang County. And his combat policy is also very clear, that is, he suggested that Lu Chen should first capture Wuyang, and then recover all the cities in the Wind Country one by one.
This plan is based on Pingzhou, Wuyang as a springboard, it can be said that it can be attacked, retreated and defended, if it is marched according to this, if there is no major accident, their own side can indeed be invincible.
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, people went through this plan in their minds, and they all nodded in agreement, but Su Muzhi arched his hand and said:
"My lord, the last general thinks that although General Xiao's marching plan is proper, the only drawback is that it has dragged on for too long! If we continue to attack one city and one place like this, when will we be able to hit Fengzhou! It must be known that now that the old thief Ding Rui has just usurped the throne, and his power is still in a turbulent period, our side should also seize this time and annihilate it in one fell swoop while it is still fledgling! β
Su Muzhi's words can be said to be quite straightforward to refute Xiao Wang, if this is put on ordinary people, I am afraid that I will have to argue with Su Muzhi with a blushing neck!
However, when Xiao Wang heard this, he did seriously think about Su Muzhi's words carefully, and then he nodded slightly and said, "En...... General Su is reasonable, if the war drags on for too long, it will indeed be more conducive to the old thief to stabilize his strength, and not to our side! β
After speaking, he arched his hand at Su Muzhi again, and said in a consquiring tone: "If General Su has any good strategy, I hope to give him advice." β
Yo! I didn't expect this person to be so generous, and under the lord's account, there are so many talents, which is many times higher than the previous Fengguo court! These people can do great things!
Su Muzhi thought about this, and hurriedly returned a salute to Xiao Wang, saying:
"General Xiao is too humble, he doesn't dare to give advice, and the last general also agrees with General Xiao's strategy of capturing Changzhou in a blitzkrieg, but after capturing Wuyang, the last general thinks that when Wuyang is the boundary, he will no longer attack the city, but gather his own army and make a posture of starting a decisive battle with the rebels, and at the same time, it is a surprise army, day and night, starry night, detour straight into Fengzhou, and the battle will be decided!"
