Chapter I: Adjustments

Jiangnan was the tax center of the Great Song Dynasty, and Fang La's uprising in Jiangnan greatly involved the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, allowing Shi Jin to easily attack eastern Shandong.

But now that Fang La has suffered a major defeat and the main force is gone, once the imperial court quells the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, then it will inevitably concentrate its forces against the Liangshan army.

This is a major event related to future development and the overall situation, in addition to keeping an eye on the imperial court, beware of Tong Guan's army stationed in Lei Ze, and Lin Chong, the leopard head guarding in Jeju, who could not rush back, Wu Yong, Li Ying and other leaders in Mizhou rushed back quickly after receiving the news.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, who were busy training soldiers, also rushed back from the barracks.

In order to prevent the news of Fang La's defeat from leaking out, at this time, the Laizhou Mansion was closely guarded by the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and family members and ordinary soldiers were not allowed to approach.

After reading the battle report in Jiangnan, many generals of the Liangshan Army sat on chairs, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little heavy.

Li Ying used to be the owner of Lijiazhuang, and he sounded very angry, but at that time, he not only had to be angry with Zhujiazhuang, but also often humbly curry favor with officials.

Since he was half-forced and semi-voluntarily defected to Shi Jin, now Li Ying not only commanded an army, but also actually served as the commander of Yizhou's soldiers and horses, with a high position.

Now Li Yingke doesn't want to live the same powerless life as before.

What's more, they all took refuge in Shi Jin openly, followed him to rebel, and their lives were tied to Shi Jin.

He Li Ying definitely hopes to see Shi Jin ascend the throne and become king, so that his current power can be preserved.

Li Ying saw that the atmosphere in the hall was dull, so he stood up and shouted: "Marshal, Fang La and our army now have a cold relationship, and they must be rescued. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead a group of soldiers and horses to help. Help Fang La stabilize the situation in Jiangnan! So as to buy time for our army! ”

"No!" Before Shi Jin could speak, Zhu Wu stood up and shouted, "General Li, the matter of sending troops to support Fang La is still to be discussed!" ”

Seeing Zhu Wu's objection, Li Ying couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhu Wu, what does this mean?" ”

Zhu Wu arched his hand towards Shi Jin and shouted: "Marshal, not to mention that we are far away from Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River, and we are separated by Xuzhou and other places in the middle, so we can't support them at all in a short time. And now that Fang La has suffered a big defeat, it is unknown how much strength is left. If he suffers heavy losses, we will have fewer soldiers and horses to support, and it will not be a problem. If there are too many, it will seriously affect the development of our army and even its own safety. Therefore, General Lee's support strategy is not advisable for his subordinates! ”

Shi Jin nodded approvingly when he heard this.

Wu Song asked hesitantly on the side: "Brother Zhu Wu, according to your words, will we leave Fang La's side alone?" But if the court destroys Fang La, they will turn their heads to us. When the imperial army comes to kill, we are afraid that it will be difficult to resist. In my opinion, this Fang La still needs support! ”

Wu Song's personality is relatively straightforward, and he feels that this Fang La still needs support.

Dong Ping said arrogantly on the side: "We can't ignore Fang La's matter. But to support Fang La, you don't have to send troops directly. We can do our best to dig out the Yellow Dragon, and it is better to decide the outcome in a battle. As long as you conquer the Jingshi. As soon as the faint monarch dies, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the generals will inevitably fall into a melee. No matter how bad it is, the imperial army can be forced to come back to help, so that Fang La can also relieve his anger! ”

Zhu Wu shook his head when he heard it and said: "No, once we raise a large army to attack the Beijing Division, although the Duan Jun will transfer back to the army, but at the same time, our army will face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the imperial court." Moreover, Shandong is a place of a hundred battles, if the imperial court transfers the northern army from the Daimyo's mansion, the central forbidden army from the Beijing division, and the counterinsurgency army from the south of the Yangtze River, and the three-way attack, it may be difficult to resist with the current soldiers and horses of our army. In this case, it is not to rescue Fang La, but to kill yourself! ”

Wu Yong, who pondered for a while, finally spoke, but he didn't say whether he should support Fang La, he said something completely irrelevant. "Marshal, this rebel army has been defeated a little strangely? Fang La is also a little injured? ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

Wu replied softly with his feather fan, "First, except for Fang La, no one else in the rebel army has been poisoned by the arrow. Could it be that there is only one poisoned arrow in the Song army? Moreover, Fang La did not go to the battlefield in person, and in the escort of the pro-corps, he was able to poison arrows. It's so weird! ”

"Second, the Song army seems to be completely aware of the movement of the rebel army, and many sorties have hit the weak points of the rebel army appropriately! What a coincidence! ”

"The most important thing is that when the rebel army fought fiercely with the Song army, rumors actually circulated in the army, causing the rebel army to be disheartened. At that time, the rebel army had not yet been defeated, and Fang La was not injured, how did this rumor come out? Who came out of it? It's unthinkable! ”

Shi Jin reacted and said in a deep voice: "You mean that someone in the Fangla army fornicated with the Song army and betrayed the rebel army?" This caused Fang La to be seriously injured and the rebel army was defeated! ”

Wu Yong nodded and said, "There is not much information, and I don't dare to make a judgment now." But in my opinion, this possibility is at least seventy percent, and the position of that person should be in the rebel army is definitely not low, otherwise it is impossible to shoot and injure Fang La, and it is impossible to clearly know the situation of the rebel army, and also make such a situation! ”

Shi Jin fell into deep thought when he heard this, and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, he raised his head and said, "If this is the case, it is even more impossible for us Liangshan to support Fang La, otherwise maybe even we will be betrayed by Na Neiying!" But if we don't support Fang La, how should our army deal with the current situation? ”

Wu Yong thought for a while and could only say helplessly: "Now that Fang La's side is in danger, our army can only take advantage of the imperial court to destroy Fang La, occupy the entire territory of Jingdong and Jinglu as soon as possible, and enhance the strength of our army." Then we have the confidence to compete with the court and compete for the world! ”

Shi Jin frowned when he heard this, the strategy that Wu Yong said was indeed the best now.

But this returned to the original situation, once the imperial court eliminated the Fang La army and pacified Jiangnan. At that time, the imperial court will inevitably go all out to deal with the Liangshan army.

Without Fang Lajun to attract the attention of the imperial court, can the Liangshan army alone deal with the imperial court's million-strong army?

What a hate!

It would be nice if Fang Lana held on a little longer!

Not much, just give yourself another year. He can capture the entire Shandong Peninsula by himself, and he will be able to raise an army of 100,000 at that time, and even if he resists the imperial court's million army, he will have enough confidence.

But now he is an army of 50,000, and he has to divide troops everywhere to guard some cities. Even if those cities were abandoned at that time, and the Song army would be fought with all their might, it would only be 50,000 troops at most.

In the face of the three-way encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, can you defeat it?

Shi Jin had a headache, but on the surface, he said with a smile: "Since the situation is like this, you brothers hurry up training, Zhu Wu and Wu will also prepare grain and grass as soon as possible, and we will send troops to attack Dengzhou in five days!" As long as we capture Jingdong Lianglu, no matter what happens to the Fangla rebel army, we can attack, retreat, and defend, and we can be unhindered! ”

Hearing that Shi Jin was about to send troops again, Lu Zhishen and the others wanted to persuade them, but they thought that time was pressing now. They could only open their mouths and shout: "Yes, marshal!" ”

Shi Jin knew what they were going to say, and he just wanted to have a little more time and a little more time to train recruits.

Since the Liangshan army came down from the mountain, it has developed very well, but the territory is larger, so it needs more soldiers and horses to garrison.

The previous little soldiers and horses were far from enough, so they could only vigorously recruit new soldiers.

Although the Liangshan Army claims to have 46,000 people, many of them are just recruits who have only been recruited for less than two or three months.

The impact of this is that the new recruits in the Liangshan Army occupy the vast majority, and the overall combat effectiveness does not rise but falls.

Why did Shi Jin transfer all the elites to the First Corps of his direct territory.

This is also no way, they are all veterans of a hundred battles who have been trained for two or three years. If it is scattered and integrated into ordinary soldiers, it will be wasted if it is easy to die in battle.

That's why Shi Jin wanted to gather them as elite troops and organize the recruits into several corps.

First, let the other legions engage the enemy first, and then send elite troops to tear through the opponent's defenses and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The other generals also knew that it was best to do this, but what general didn't want his men to be all elite troops!

They are all very enthusiastic that the first corps under the marshal is all elite, and they also very much hope to lead such an army!

Therefore, when Lu Zhishen heard that they were going to expand, they desperately wanted to pull the good seedlings into their team, so they thought about taking a little more time to train their subordinates.

How long does it take for a recruit to train to become a strong soldier?

Three years of the Army, ten years of the Air Force, and a hundred years of the Navy!

Of course, this is the time to train soldiers in modern times, and in ancient times, it took at least a year to train infantry.

It is necessary to train them in combat skills, and also to train them in formation, know how to advance and retreat, and cooperate in combat. The most important thing is, of course, to teach them to observe military discipline, so that they can initially train a strong army.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Jindu planned to capture Dengzhou, and after completely solving his worries, he repaired for a period of time, solved the problems that arose during this time, trained new soldiers, and improved the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army.

As long as there is a year's repair time, those recruits can be trained into strong soldiers, so that with 50,000 strong soldiers, plus the logistics and material support of the entire Shandong Peninsula, Shi Jin has the capital to call the imperial court.

But now that the rebel army has been defeated, Fang La has been hit by a poisoned arrow, and he is in danger, and he doesn't know if he can survive.

Once Fang La is dead, the rebel army will be leaderless, let alone a year, I am afraid that it will not be able to last even a month.

At what point, Liang Shanjun will have to directly face the pressure of the imperial army.

Now there are many wealthy clans supporting themselves, and that is because they saw that the imperial court was overwhelmed by the Fangla rebel army and their own Liangshan army, and they were in danger of annihilation, so they wanted to speculate and support themselves.

Once they knew that Fang La's life was short, would these wealthy clans who supported them still believe that they could defeat the imperial army's army alone?

I'm afraid that they will betray themselves when they turn their heads and cooperate with the court to exterminate themselves.

Shi Jin doesn't blame them for this style of wall-to-wall grass, everyone is here to survive, and if they are themselves, they will do the same.

It's not about right or wrong, it's just a different way of survival and development!

Just like Fang La's development method, according to modern parlance, it is a violent army flow, no matter who it is, they are pulled into their own troops and snowballed to expand their power.

The advantage of this way of development is that it has developed rapidly, and in a short period of time, Fang La has raised more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum is vast, and he has seized the territory of six states in a short period of time.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the quality of his soldiers and horses is not high, and the foundation is unstable.

It's okay to go well, and with all the might, relying on a large number of people and horses to run over all the way.

But once it doesn't go well, the shortcomings of the soldiers' low quality will be undoubtedly exposed, otherwise they wouldn't have let rumors circulate in the fierce battle, and they would easily believe it, causing confusion in the army's morale and being defeated by the Song army.

And once the attack did not go well, when the Song army counterattacked, the problem of unstable foundation was also exposed, the important town of Hangzhou did not even prepare for a month's worth of grain and grass for the army, and the city of Hangzhou garrisoned by the army was easily recovered by the Song army, and the most important thing was that it did not even have the ability to gather strength to fight again.

His own development method is a bit like farming, building a base for the Liangshan Army, and then training the army while calling people to develop science and technology.

The advantage of this way of development is that the soldiers under his command are of high quality and have a solid foundation. But the disadvantage is that it is time-consuming, and it takes a relatively long time to train soldiers, to develop technology, and to accumulate strength.

It was originally planned, but unfortunately, the fiasco of the Fangla rebel army disrupted Shi Jin's previous deployment.

Now in order to grab time, Shi Jin can only give up his previous development plan, and before Fang La's defeat, he can occupy as much territory as possible and expand his strength, so as to prepare for the decisive battle with the Song army in the future.

Speaking of this sudden change of plan, what will be the effect in the end, and whether he can defeat the Song army, Shi Jin is also very uncertain and a little panicked.

Zhu Wu and Wu Yong followed Lu Zhishen and them out to deal with government affairs and prepare grain and grass. Shi Jin looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh.

He can only be regarded as a middle-class person, and he can lead the Liangshan army to this point, and many of them rely on future knowledge.

Zhu Wu and Wu Yong are also the best of the best.

Zhu Wu is good at military strategy and proficient in formations.

Wu Yong is good at intrigue and trickery, can design and frame people, and can also see the other party's poisonous schemes.

Lin Chong and Wang Yin are good at leading the army.

Generals such as Lu Zhishen and Wu Song are good at charging into battle.

They can be regarded as the best among people, but they can only play one aspect, and their grasp of the overall situation is still a little worse.

Liang Shanjun has always lacked a strategic development strategy, and has not planned to achieve the overall goal from the overall consideration, but more to take a step and then think about where to go next.

It is precisely because of the lack of strategic development strategies that we will always encounter difficulties of this kind and that kind. This is the case with the problem of qualified personnel, the problem with army building, and it is still like this!

Shi Jin sighed a little, he lacked a talent who could plan comprehensively!

One like Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su has a far-sighted and far-sighted vision to help him plan a long-term strategic layout.

My son's room, where is my Kongming?

Just when Shi Jin was worried about talents, he suddenly walked in Lu Fang at the door of the hand-held mansion and shouted: "Marshal, Mr. Gongsun is back!" He was accompanied by a gentleman named Xu Guanzhong. Marshal, do you want to meet Mr. Gongsun now? ”()
