Commander-in-chief generals are different from ordinary generals, although it seems to be just a layer of identity separation, but there are always countless very talented generals in history who have not been able to get to that point in the end.

Is it because they are inferior to the superior commanders at that time? Is it because of their own lack of operational command capabilities?

Neither!

It can be said that the generals under his command have the ability to grasp a large number of them, and they are not lacking in any era, and it is not for nothing that the commander-in-chief generals are inferior to the generals under them in these aspects, and there are not even a few.

In addition to the opportunity, there is another important reason.

Generals don't need to think too much about problems, they don't need to think about what strategy and other issues, there is only one problem in front of them, how to complete the tasks assigned by the commander in chief at the minimum cost.

This task, and even a lot of the playing arrangements, were put forward by these people, which is enough to prove that they are excellent.

And what about the commander-in-chief? On the surface, what the commander-in-chief has to do is very simple, that is, to draw up a combat plan and set operational objectives.

The purpose has been completely decided at the moment of dispatching the troops, and the task of the coach is to use all means to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost around this purpose.

That's the role of the manager, they don't need to have a lot of individual ability, it has to do with past performances, but it doesn't have much to do with it.

In the eyes of the emperor, except for those faint monarchs who are nepotistic, any Ming monarch, or an emperor who knows it in his heart, will only have one criterion when choosing a commander.

See the big picture!

A person who does not have a sense of the big picture, no matter how well he does in the position of general, will not be able to become a coach after all, because the big picture concept limits his ceiling.

And a person who has some performance in the overall situation, when he reaches a certain height, will naturally attract the attention of the emperor or his superiors, and will naturally be a little inclined to him and cultivate him in an all-round way.

No one can guarantee whether it can succeed or not, but one thing is certain, one out of ten seedlings can eventually become a talent, and the probability is not low.

Needless to say, whether it is the performance of the present world or the great name of the later generations, Li Yuanji can rest assured that he will be the commander of one side, because history and the senses of the present world have proved that he has this ability.

Su Dingfang is a little suspicious of pulling out seedlings, but Su Dingfang, who is only thirty-nine years old, has more troops under his command than Li Jing, the old commander.

Thirty-nine years old, not young.

But in the position of the coach, it may be more convincing in ten years.

But no matter whether it can be convincing or not, the emperor's confidant and important minister, who has personally trained the generals of the lineage for several years, the emperor intends to carry it, as long as Su Dingfang himself does not die to offend everyone with the emperor's support, those veterans will naturally not go to him for trouble.

No matter how good the veteran is, can he pass the emperor? If he makes a mistake, these veterans still dare to shout with their qualifications, but if he is not wrong, if anyone dares to jump out, it is clear that he is against the emperor, and it was not Su Dingfang's face at that time, but the emperor's face.

Although countless pairs of eyes were staring at Su Dingfang, it was a pity.

Su Dingfang did not rely on the emperor's support to show too arrogant and domineering behavior, but was polite to those veterans, and in private he called himself a junior.

When encountering a crisis, although Su Dingfang also had a headache, but then Wang Xuance's strange strategy, coupled with Su Dingfang's decisiveness, although a little reckless, but now, these generals have to admire his courage.

There was no problem with logistics, the army was about to arrive at the division of Li Jing, and then, everyone did not think that it was difficult to destroy Tubo, this battle, they suffered hardship, but this suffering was not because of Su Dingfang, but because of the geographical environment here, and it was the same situation for whoever came.

In addition to these, these generals who followed them on the expedition were very relaxed along the way, and they basically didn't have to worry about anything except for the fatigue of marching for days.

Although they don't say it, these veterans have already expressed their admiration for Su Dingfang now, and they are even more impressed by the emperor's vision and courage, at least in their words, no one dares to make such a decision.

……

After crossing the mountains and turning over the hills, those white snow-capped mountains were naturally ignored, and they were not qualified to be taken seriously.

Su Dingfang did not choose a smooth way, did not go east or west, and took those normal paths.

Merchants have trade routes, and it is naturally easier to take the big road, but the business is also dangerous everywhere, so they are also very clear about the trails in many places.

And those so-called trails are just inconvenient for vehicles to pass, and if you want to be a war horse, it's still no problem.

Under the leadership of the guide, the 100,000 army quietly appeared on the mountain range in the north of the city, looking condescendingly at the small city of the city with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The city is not large, and it has only been a few years since Cole decided to move the capital, and there are not many buildings here except for a palace, and many are newly built and under construction.

Luo Qi is located in a plain, the mountain plain, and the Central Plains that can not see a little slope of the plain, the terrain here is not too flat, but put here, this is indeed a large plain.

The city of Ralis occupies less than one-twentieth the size of this plain, and the rest of the plain is even more disorderly with tents, the kind of heavy and wide tents.

The whole barracks was very chaotic, so chaotic that the Tang army was stunned when they saw it.

There is no planning, no planning at all.

Some tents are simply connected to each other, and it is impossible for people to pass alone, while others are far apart, and there is no problem for several cars to pass side by side.

There is no gate, no outer wall, just like the people of the Tang Dynasty farming, they can go wherever they want, without any restraint or defense.

The camp was even more chaotic, some were sleeping, some were chatting and farting, some were in a daze, and some were exchanging feelings with war horses.

There are no patrols, nothing, there doesn't seem to be any order here.

"This is the main force of Tibet?" Song Yazi pouted and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"It's not even a boot barracks, is it?" Lu Zhi was even more frightened and almost fell off his horse.

The recruit camp that Lu Zhi mentioned is the kind of recruit who has just passed the recruitment and has just entered the recruit camp within five days.

However, all the recruits who have been trained for more than five days, not to mention the most, at least in terms of military discipline and order in the barracks, are much better than the current main force in Tibet.

"This can't be a ragtag army, right?" Song Yazi never dared to believe it, the main force, no matter how much Tubo cooks, but the main force shouldn't be like this, right?

He also went when he fought the Turks, although the discipline of the Turks was also very poor, but it was much better than that of the Tubos, at least in terms of camping, their protection was still there, unlike now, Mao's protection was not seen, they had all reached the distance visible to the naked eye, what about the opposite side? It's like nobody.

Could it be that the Tibetan people are born with a big heart?

Of course not, the only explanation is that when the Tang army cleaned up the scouts sent out by the Tibetans, the news that the Tang army had arrived did not reach here, so they did not know that they were in danger at all.

"It should be, I heard that this is their capital, and the Tubo people have shrunk across the board, and there are more than 100,000 people below, even if they are not all the main force, at least the main force must be here." Lu Zhi said suspiciously.

The army in front stopped, and Su Dingfang did not send anyone to ask, because it was very simple, there was no order, they did not dare to stop, and the only reason was that they had already seen the main force of Tubo, which meant that they had already arrived at the battlefield, so they would stop.

"Tashi Dorjee, Ben Shuai is very grateful for your support along the way, and in return, Ben Shuai will personally write your name on the next battle report report." Looking at the somewhat tired guide, Su Dingfang did not despise it, but said solemnly.

Hearing that he was going to write his name in the war merit book, Tashi Dorjee wanted to jump up with excitement in his heart, although he tried his best to hide it, but after all, he was only a Tubo, and Tubo was about to be destroyed, the Tang people attached great importance to blood, would it bring him any benefits?

I don't know if there are any benefits, but after so many years of family-style business, Tashi Dorjee naturally has his own set, and hurriedly shirked his hand and said: "The general is polite, the small one leads the way for the heavenly army, and the heavenly army has already given a small reward, as a businessman, this small one has made a lot of money, and he doesn't dare to ask for more." ”

"Transactions are transactions, no matter who you are or what kind of bloodline you have in your body, Datang will never disappoint anyone who has contributed to Datang, not before, not now, and not in the future!" Su Dingfang said very firmly, without Tashi Dorjee, he could have come here, but he was not familiar with the place and did not have a guide, so it was certain that he would take some detours.

And since they met Tashi Dorjee, in just one month, they have completed the road that they don't know how long it will take to complete, and they even have some doubts on the way, obviously it looks more like the road to Luo, why do they take those paths?

But now Su Dingfang understands that they are taking shortcuts, shortcuts that can be passed.

This situation also exists in Datang, the official road is built according to the direction of the two county seats, and if countless county towns are connected together, from the map, the official road must be crooked, not that the straight line can not go, if you walk in a straight line, you will miss some places, miss the place to stay.

But it doesn't exist here, they don't need to 'go into town', they just need to hurry.

Datang needs to conquer here, and it is not possible to completely conquer it by force alone.

"This is what you deserve, as long as Your Majesty does not nod, no one can erase the credit that belongs to you, the glory that belongs to you......"
