Chapter 0987 --for-tat battle
Liu Mang employs people and is eclectic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nature and systems are related.
Through the system, Liu Mang understands the specialties of summoning talents, uses their strengths, avoids their shortcomings, and has repeatedly achieved miraculous results.
However, the reality is far from superficial.
Military and political affairs, there is no child's play.
Politics is the most complex.
For example, in the implementation of tax reform, Liu Mang's reform power Zhang Ju is piloting the merger of states, and he has encountered many obstacles.
Thanks to Liu Mang's proper handling, he quelled the dissatisfaction of the gate valve family in time and did not cause a catastrophe.
This situation is not a question of reform, nor is it a problem of Zhang Juzheng, still less is it a question of Liu Mang's employment and political decision-making.
Difficulties and obstacles are important military and political issues that must be faced.
Capable people can solve problems, but it does not mean that as long as there are capable people, they will definitely be able to solve problems.
For example, in a war, it is not as simple as choosing a general, sending some soldiers and horses, and giving an order.
Yue Pengju, you go and destroy Yuan Shu!
Su Dingfang, you go and take Jizhou!
This is not called employing people.
Even if it's a game, you can't play it like this!
Although he has the system in his hand and has all kinds of powerful people in all dynasties, Liu Mang must also be doubly cautious.
In the past few years, Liu Mang has gradually explored the way of selecting and employing people, and summed up several principles: there is no need to be perfect, use the amount of talent, create conditions, and use without doubt.
Perfect talent does not necessarily lead to perfect results.
Only by making the best use of their talents can they reap miraculous results!
The choice of Deng Qiang as the front-line commander was based on this consideration.
As Liu Bowen said, Liu Mang takes a fancy to Deng Qiang's "ruthlessness"!
Xiliang Army, vicious as a wolf! To deal with the evil wolf, you need to use a tiger that is more ferocious than the wolf!
Deng Qiang is a tiger!
When Deng Qiang proposed to set up a banquet on the front line, Liu Mang made an exception and agreed, and personally ordered to send fine wine to the front line.
……
Deng Qiang was appointed as the commander of the front line, and the biggest problem he faced was that authority!
In the land under Liu Mang's rule, the enemy was faced on all sides, and the deployment of the Luoyang army was relatively scattered. There are few generals, and the number of soldiers and horses under the command of each general is not very large.
Deng Qiang is a general of Xisizhou, although his military rank is high, but there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
In the battle of Zhengxian, the Luoyang army gathered more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. In other words, more than half of the soldiers and horses under Deng Qiang's command were originally not under his control.
The front-line generals, as well as the soldiers and horses under their command, were drawn from different defense areas.
If the Lord does not have the authority to do what is forbidden, how can there be victory?
Deng Qiang set up a banquet, the purpose of which was to establish the prestige of the main general.
……
Deng Qiang asked if anyone was willing to replace him as the commander of the front.
No one will speak.
Inside, the atmosphere gradually became tense......
Deng Qiang glanced at everyone again. "What Deng said, isn't it a joke, and no one recommends himself?"
Finally, Guo Ziyi stood up.
He arched his hand and said: "The lord has awarded the handsome seal and the general, and we admire it." Deng Shuai only commanded, we will obey the general's orders, but obey the orders! ”
Guo Ziyi took the lead, and all the generals bowed and said: "Obey the general's orders, only obey the orders!" ”
"Since you have no objections, then, from now on, I, Deng Qiang, will give orders as the main general! Someone! Pour wine for the generals! ”
Deng Qiang took the wine bowl and said: "The key to this battle, you don't need Deng to say, you all know it." Deng said both good and ugly things in front. The credit for this victory is everyone's! This defeat is the responsibility of Deng alone! ”
Deng Qiang said, pointing to the personal attendant standing behind him.
"If this battle is lost, this brother will carry Deng's head and ask the lord for guilt!" Deng Qiang's face revealed a ruthlessness. "However, all of you here, if someone does not listen to Deng's orders, or retreats in fear of battle, resulting in the defeat of this battle, then Deng must take his head before he apologizes! and the head of a certain person, together with the main office! ”
Inside, there was silence.
However, the expressions of the generals are extremely resolute!
Deng Qiang nodded in satisfaction. "I believe that you will not disappoint Deng, and we will not disappoint the lord! As long as we work together, we will overcome the enemy! ”
"Work together to defeat the enemy!"
"!"
"Smack!" Deng Qiang threw the wine bowl. "Someone! Remove the banquet! ”
……
The Xiliang Army deployed a five-way army in the front, and Deng Qiang also set up a five-way army and horses.
It's just that the Luoyang army has fewer troops than the enemy army, and the number of cavalry is limited. Deng Qiang's Fifth Route Army was deployed more compactly than the enemy.
The right flank of the Luoyang Army was aimed at the left flank of the enemy.
On the left flank, the enemy deployed two divisions of Duan Shao and the Western Regions Rangers, about 35,000 light cavalry.
Deng Qiang ordered Guo Kantong to command 4,000 light cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers, and Wei Chi Gong to command 7,000 foot soldiers to welcome him.
On the left flank, the horse infantry counted sixteen thousand.
The left flank of the Luoyang Army was aimed at the enemy's right flank.
On the right flank, the enemy deployed two divisions of Guo Yan and the Western Regions Rangers, about 35,000 light cavalry.
Deng Qiang ordered Guo Ziyi to command 3,000 light cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, and Deng Ai and Shi Jintong 6,000 foot soldiers to welcome him.
Because the left flank of the Luoyang Army was more open, he ordered Zu Ti to command 3,000 foot soldiers and deploy them to the south of Deng Ai Shijin's department, thinking that he would respond.
On the right flank, the horse infantry counted fifteen thousand.
The main forces of the enemy, concentrated in the middle. Including Yang Lin's 20,000 iron cavalry, Yang Guang's 5,000 iron guards.
Deng Qiang went toe-for-tat and deployed the main force of the Luoyang Army in the middle.
Deng Qiang and Ge Shuhan commanded 6,000 light cavalry in the front, and Zhou Dewei commanded 5,000 Tielin troops behind.
The main force in the middle lane, light cavalry and iron cavalry totaled 11,000.
He also ordered Wang Jun, commanding 3,000 foot soldiers, cruising on Weishui by boat, cutting off Zuo Fengyi's enemy army to cross Weishui south to support the channel.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Zuo Fengyi and Xu Shiji, asking him to send troops to Zuo Fengyi to contain the Li Dao Department of the Xiliang Army and make it have no time to support.
……
The big war is about to begin!
The large corps faced off in the plains, and it was a hard-fought battle.
Both sides of the war sent a large number of scouts to scout each other's deployments.
From the mobilization and assembly of troops, analyze the tactical intentions of the opponent.
The Luoyang army set up a-for-tat position, which was a situation that Yang Guang and Li Ru were happy to see.
On the left and right flanks, the strength of the Xiliang Army was obvious.
In the middle road, the 20,000 iron cavalry of Yang Lin of the Xiliang Army will face the main cavalry of the Luoyang Army, more than 10,000 people.
There are advantages, but not by much.
And what Li Ru is most concerned about and worried about is the mysterious iron cavalry team in the middle of the Luoyang Army-Tielin Army.
After Li Ru pondered repeatedly, he went to Yang Guang, hoping to attract his attention.
Li Ru grinded again and again, and Yang Guangyuan's confidence was also a little loose.
"Forget it! Isn't it just an iron army, I will personally go out and take the ironclad guards to crush it! ”
"Don't!" Li Ru was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again. "Lord, you are the heart of the army, how can you go into battle easily?"
Li Ru persuaded him repeatedly, and Yang Guang finally agreed not to go into battle in person, but to let other generals command the ironclad guards.
The front-line deployment of the Xiliang Army has long been determined, and it is not appropriate to make major adjustments, so Wei Wentong, who is responsible for the reception of various routes, can only be transferred. Ordered to command the ironclad guards and live behind the Yang Lin Department.
The Great War, On! (To be continued.) )
