Li Jing stood at the head of Jiangxia City and watched Liu Zhenghui's fleet go down the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 1,000 warships, large and small, carrying 50,000 horsemen, as well as a large number of ordnance, grain and grass. The sails of the fleet, covering the sky and the sun, do seem to be imposing.

Li Jing looked at them and let out a long sigh.

"Why is the marshal sighing?"

Li Jing shook his head, "I sighed that the immortals fought, and the pond fish suffered." Today, thousands of ships are set out together, and ten thousand armies are heading south. But how many people can come back in the future? ”

The restoration of the Emperor Taishang, that is, the fight of the gods. Chai Shao, Luo Yi and others rushed around, each with selfish intentions. The really unlucky and innocent are the ordinary soldiers, how innocent they are. Chai Shao and others still chose this path by themselves, but these soldiers did not choose.

As soon as the generals and lieutenants above give orders, they must obey them, otherwise the military law will be ruthless. No matter what kind of rebellion, in fact, ordinary soldiers are coerced and used, and they go with the flow, like fallen leaves in the wind.

"Go up to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city below."

Li Jing, like Li Chao, uses troops to grasp the overall situation. Look at the big picture, and then seek a little. And although Liu Zhenghui is also a hero of Taiyuan, he only knows how to talk about the overall situation when he stares at the front of him, and he can't even see a corner.

"Liu Zhenghui didn't even have Li Chao's self-confidence, so he hurriedly rushed to Hongzhou with 50,000 soldiers and horses, he was stupid except stupid."

The captain is Li Jing's general, and he is his adopted son. According to the practice since the Northern Dynasties, many generals have family generals, and even accept family generals as adopted sons. These fakes are not only their students, but also their guards, and possibly their subordinates, and they are naturally loyal and reliable to them.

"Does the big marshal know where Li Chao's details are?"

The cool breeze at the head of the city, Li Jing walked around the head of the city with his hands behind his back.

"Li Chao must have relied on, but what his reliance is, I don't know yet. However, I vaguely suspect that it may have something to do with Li Chao's fleet. It is said that Li Chao plundered in Liaodong before like no one, relying on a noble privateer escort he trained single-handedly, and those guards were trained by him, and his ships were also equipped with a lot of artillery. ”

Li Jing estimated that Li Chao was preparing for a water war against Liu Zhenghui.

"Dashuai, if the Emperor Taishang is willing to trust Dashuai and hand over all the military power of the South Road to Dashuai, will Dashuai do his best to intercept Li Chao?"

Li Jing didn't answer, he let go and walked slowly and walked on the city with his hands behind his back.

Yizi was still asking later, "If Dashuai really fights Li Chao in Jiangxia, who will win and who will lose?" ”

"Have you read Li Chao's thirty-six strategies?" Li Jing turned his head and asked.

Yizi was stunned, officers above the captain of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one has not read Li Chao's thirty-six strategies. Sun Tzu's Art of War, Li Chao's Thirty-six Strategies, and Li Jing's Six Army Mirrors are all must-read. Even Li Chao's 36 strategies were listed as the first must-read military books by the Wutang Lecture Hall, which was more important than the ancient military books such as Wu Zi, Liutao, and Wei Xuanzi.

Li Lin has read Li Chao's 36 strategies, and the more words this book has, the most important feature is that it contains countless actual combat case analysis, and a comprehensive analysis of a war in all aspects.

"Read, well written." Li Lin said honestly.

Li Jing smiled slightly, "Li Chao's book of thirty-six plans is very well written, and it is all based on detailed data. Li Chao also had a book of war, but after it was written, only the emperor and a very few people read it, and it was not published publicly, which was called the theory of war. ”

"The Theory of War?"

"Well, the book explores strategy and tactics, offense and defense, the ends and means of war, and he concludes in the book that war is nothing more than the continuation of politics by another means, revealing the nature of the subordination of war to politics."

That's already a higher level, jumping out of simple offensive and defensive battles.

"According to Li Chao's theory of war, our war with Li Chao has been defeated before it has even begun. Of course, if we only care about the gains and losses of the battle, with these more than 50,000 soldiers, against Li Chao's more than 10,000 men and horses, if I defend him and attack, then this battle can be drawn. If I take the initiative to attack, I will lose more and win less. ”

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Jing to openly admit that he couldn't beat Li Chao.

"How is this possible?"

"War is a comprehensive consideration, it can be said that if it is two people with similar military skills, then what is actually considered is the preparation before the war, the choice of the timing of the war, the logistics supply of the army, the quality of soldiers, the training situation and other aspects."

Li Chao analyzed Yizi that although Li Chao had few soldiers, his soldiers were trained by himself, well-equipped, well-trained, and had actual combat experience. As for their own soldiers, many of them are not soldiers. This is a rabble, the more troops, the greater the pressure on logistics and supply, and the more insensitive command and communication become.

The most important thing is that they are fighting a decisive battle on the front line of the Yangtze River, and Li Chao has an advanced naval fleet in his hands, which is the most important thing that can bring decisive effects.

If he defends in Jiangxia and has a city to follow, then Li Jing is sure to make a peace. But if you take the initiative to attack, you are more likely to fail.

"Li Lin, the ability to command is important, but it is not the most important. The art of war and strategy must also be built on the condition of a well-trained, well-equipped, well-supplied, and strong morale. Always thinking about the odd plan to get it, it is risky, and it is very easy to fail. ”

Poyang lake.

This is a huge lake between Hongzhou and Jiangzhou, connecting the Gan River and the Yangtze River.

Liu Zhenghui marched quickly, and the large fleet of more than 1,000 ships passed through Jiangzhou and entered Poyang Lake.

"Liu Shuai, we blocked Li Chao, they were blocked by us in Peng Ze!" A lieutenant excitedly reported to Liu Zhenghui.

Standing on the deck, facing the river breeze, Liu Zhenghui was very proud.

"Li Chao definitely didn't expect that we would rush to Jiangzhou so soon, haha, now, he will become a turtle in the urn, don't want to run away from my palm!"

"Liu Shuai, are we going to fight Li Chaoshui in Pengze Lake?" Li Gaoqian asked with some concern, "Although they have a lot of boats, they don't have many real sailors." Most of these ships were merchant and fishing boats forcibly requisitioned on the Han line, large and small, except for those crews, few of their 50,000 horses had fought on the water. ”

"What are you afraid of, we have more than a thousand ships and 50,000 soldiers and horses. How many boats does Li Chaocai have? A hundred ships, more than 10,000 men and horses, whether it is ships or soldiers, we are far superior to them. ”

"Send a speedboat to find the remains of Li Chao's fleet, and once you find it, report it immediately. The sooner we kill Li Chao, the sooner we can finish it. ”

No matter whether he fights in water or land, he is also a battle, 50,000 people fight 10,000, and he is not ready to be captured? It's better to fight in the lake, Li Chao has nowhere to run if he loses, just catch it all!
