Section 19 Before the War—Bad Signs
At night, in Lao Luo's military tent, a long table covering an area of at least eight square meters was placed on top of a map that covered almost the entire table, and all the people in the eastbound team who were eligible to participate in the meeting sat around the table.
The meeting had not yet officially begun, and the people sitting around were talking softly.
Lao Luo sat on the side of the long table and thought quietly.
In fact, it is mainly divided into three categories, the first type of bulldozer type, the car base layer by layer of progressive hard attack, this method is more traditional, the manpower that needs to be deployed is the most troublesome, and perhaps there will be large casualties; The second excavator type, the deployment of the cavalry school and the garrison battalion base to cooperate, knock out several key nodes, so that the three can not cooperate with each other, this scheme requires accurate calculations, to calculate the enemy's reaction and their own cooperation, this is a method of walking on the high-altitude wire rope, a slight mistake will inevitably outweigh the gains; The third is the seeder style that Lao Luo often prefers, using the flexible cooperation of scouts and cavalry school mobility to bloom at multiple points, and use a piecemeal way to plant the seeds of fear and defeat into the hearts of enemy soldiers......
Lao Luo's original intention was to use this battle to beat all the snoopers with a big mouth, and the bulldozer-style scheme was the best choice, but when it came to the end, looking at the camps of the Turks, Qarluqs and Dangxiang people in the distance, Lao Luo felt a little reluctant, and the frontal fight sounded very cool, but how many lives did it take to destroy those enemies standing behind the fence? The people in the eastbound team have gone through ups and downs all the way, whether it is the soldiers of the cavalry school or the garrison battalion, they have all begun to grow up in training and battle, these people are the seeds that will control the land of one side in the future, even if one is lost, Lao Luo feels that the gains outweigh the losses......
"General, the affairs of the private sector have been arranged, do you think we can let the garrison show our faces? It's not that I look down on these Turks and Qarluqs, but look at their camps...... I don't know what to say...... Cheng Shouru's big face came to Lao Luo's side, and that big face was full of loyalty and sincerity.
"Huh? When did General Cheng become so eager to fight? After recalling it from deep thought, Lao Luo looked at the man on the door panel who came to his side quite playfully, although he asked questions, but he couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.
"Will the Lord...... General, don't ......" Cheng Shouru rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "Isn't it that the subordinates have become more angry after the battle in Bishkek......
"So when you see that someone is blocking the road again, you are going to teach those bastards a lesson?" Lao Luo squinted his eyes and followed Cheng Shouru's words.
"Yes...... It's ......" Cheng Shouru was not a submissive person, but Lao Luo said the lines he should have said, so he had to hum haha.
"yes, it's a fart!" Lao Luo's eyes widened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Most of the sons and daughters in the army are engaged in orders, when did you dare to make irresponsible remarks with you, the leading general?" ”
He took into account Cheng Shouru's face, but did not scold loudly. Seeing that they were about to go to the east, with the confidence of the battle in Bishkek, many people in the battalion did not regard the hundreds of thousands of people in the three divisions blocking the road as one thing, because many of the high-ranking officers of the old Luo Tong army were foreign races from the Mediterranean, and some ambitious people began to move.
Lao Luo is not opposed to competition within the army, as long as the way of competition is benign, but at the moment, this is obviously not, relying on the courage of blood or relying on his subordinates to take advantage of the situation is definitely not something that can exist in a professional army. Following the Tang Dynasty, there is a very bad practice in the army - Xia Keshang, the most typical example is that during the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the four armies in front of the palace made a noise that forced Li Longji to kill his concubine to save his life, and there was also the closest to Lao Luo's period - Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was added to the yellow robe by his subordinates and brothers who were clamoring for mutiny, and the two incidents, whether right or wrong, were trampled on the military system.
The former, Tang Xuanzong's inability to manage the political situation, led to the failure of the military town, so that a strong dynasty began to divide and weaken, while the latter vested the interests of the mutiny, but in the national policy, the army was strictly guarded, which led to the decline of a nation's blood and spirit.
Lao Luo knew that competition in the army was unavoidable, and he also knew the inevitability of the existence of this kind of problem, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
This kind of sign must not exist, at least not now, Lao Luo secretly made up his mind, and turned to Cheng Shouru and said: "You come out with me!" ”
appeased everyone and still talked around the map, and led Cheng Shouru to the rear military tent, "Cheng Gate, Cheng Gate, you don't usually have so many scheming, let me say what is good about you?" ”
"General, it's just that the sons and daughters are eager to fight, this ...... Not much, right? Being pulled out of the big tent by Lao Luo, looking at a serious and almost stereotypical face, Cheng Shouru still couldn't understand it.
Lao Luo's face is indeed not good-looking, there is only one torch in the tent of the rear army, and his face is half bright and half almost melts into the darkness, "Brother Cheng, let me ask you, I remember that when your ancestor Lu Guogong followed Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to conquer the world, if his subordinates asked for battle, what would he do?" ”
Lao Luo hadn't called Cheng Shouru for a long time according to the title he had when he first met Cheng Shouru, and at this moment, he changed his name and stunned Cheng Shouru, a man with a door panel, and the words that followed made him feel shocked.
"This ......"
"What is this? I guess Ruzu Lu Guogong will definitely suggest that his subordinates directly ask Taizong to fight in a haha joke, and he himself won't say more, right? Lao Luo didn't care about Cheng Shouru's startled expression, and said to himself.
"...... the master" Lao Luo's polite and analytical words completely made Cheng Shouru speechless.
"It's good to say that the battle is a soldier's eagerness to fight, and what is not good is that you Cheng Shouru can't control your subordinates, of course, there is also the idea that you want to fight for face in front of a few aliens in Gonzas, am I right?" When he said this, Lao Luo didn't have a trace of expression on his face, he didn't want to make a big fuss because of a little thing, but this kind of thing should be absolutely prevented.
"Will the Lord...... This is indeed the case. "The matter was clearly explained by Lao Luo, and Cheng Shouru couldn't do it if he didn't admit it.
"I know very well what your lieutenants are like, they don't dare to ignore military orders, and now that they are busy setting up camp, they don't have any intention of fighting...... It's the scholars of the Zhang family who are doing ghosts in the middle, right? They're trying to get you up and fight Gonzath for something, right? "Although Lao Luo has little civil interference, and the jurisdiction of the garrison camp is mostly done through Cheng Shouru, but with a team of less than 100,000 people, there is really nothing to hide from him, and he can figure out the root cause after a little calculation.
"General, the last general is really ......" If Lao Luo had just arrived in Xierfan, Cheng Shouru would never be afraid of Lao Luo, but as the saying goes, the more you know, the more you don't know, with what you have seen and heard along the way, Cheng Shouru deeply understands that the main general in front of him is by no means a person who can be fooled with a few empty words, so he doesn't dare to say anything at all.
"Don't say it......" raised his hand to stop Cheng Shouru's words, Lao Luo stared at Cheng Shouru's eyes, and said word by word, "What to do, Brother Cheng, you had better know in your heart, I don't dislike people with ambition, but ambition must match strength, do you agree?" Also, in your spare time, you might as well flip through the texts that your ancestors copied at home......"
"Yes, Lord!" At this moment, Cheng Shouru can only obey.
"Also, I know that you have a lot of dealings with several people in the Zhang family, help me tell them that if you want to do things, you can work hard in the private sector, and the army is not something they can interfere with, I don't want to turn the knife inward one day!" Lao Luo is too lazy to talk directly with the Zhang family, especially the old fox like Zhang Shen, who is sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact is full of dirt soaked in power.
sent Cheng Shouru back to the military tent first, and Lao Luo was left behind to think about all kinds of chores.
Now, many things have begun to get on track, and he must also change from a pure soldier to a leader of one side, including military, political and civilian needs to be controlled, no matter which aspect is negligent, it may cause unavoidable losses.
The so-called boat is small and good to turn around, and it is best to plan when everything is blank. Just like the current population is still small, when the Yellow River valley arrives, more and more people will be attached or dependent, if we do not build a good framework of power at this time, it is inevitable that there will be many drawbacks in the future.
For Lao Luo, beating Cheng Shouru and warning the Zhang family in the air right now is by no means a trivial matter, but a matter of prevention. He has not learned any power theory, nor does he know any balancing skills, but he knows how to govern the army, and he has also seen the operation of some large business groups in later generations, and the principles are always the same, so in his opinion, there is no essential difference between governing a country and governing an army, and it is necessary to draw up a good framework of rules, and then let everything develop benignly in this framework of rules.
Just like he said to Cheng Shouru to keep the Zhang family away from the army, the separation of military and political affairs is the first step he has to do The rule framework, if in the future generations, he will naturally not have to think so hard to do such a thing, but in this era? If he doesn't want to be a kowtow worm of the Eastern Dynasty and doesn't want to be a hermit philosopher, he must take every step like this.
Compared with this kind of thing, the current war against the Turkic, Qarluq, and Dangxiang enemies is only an embellishment on the road, with the soldiers who have slashed all the way from the Magyar Sea, with the rest of the winter in Kuzak, with the military accumulation of more than ten years of Lao Luo and the mind of the era of the explosion of knowledge, all the enemies who stand in the way are just anvils for sharpening the edge......
"General, everyone is here......" Alki, who was waiting outside the military tent, announced to Lao Luo.
"Well, inform the guys around you, be on guard, and control all those who shouldn't be here!" Lao Luo's words are not only aimed at external enemies, but more importantly, to guard against internal ghosts, although there are military camps around, but no one dares to guarantee that there are no Turkic or Qarluq spies stationed in the battalion.
"Obey, Lord!"
"Alright, Olki, you stay outside the tent, Nuralman, follow me in to record!" Letting go of the thoughts just now, Lao Luo, who had devoted his energy entirely to the current war, began to boil in his chest, he must give a shocking blow to the guy who dared to intercept him!
