Once the strategy is in place, the specific attack plan is also in place, and the next step is to formulate a specific executor.
Who is in charge of the alliance and who is in command of the various armies involves the distribution of powers, responsibilities and interests of the various rebels in the alliance. At the beginning, when the rebels from all walks of life gathered in Wenyang and formed a bloody alliance, there was not much trust between them, and there was no unified command structure, the alliance was very loose, and the covenant had little binding force on the rebels from all walks of life.
Today, the rebels from all walks of life captured Ningyang, temporarily solved the problem of survival, and everyone gradually established trust and friendship in the battle, and their interests tended to be the same, so they began to work together to formulate a strategy of expansion and growth, and this strategy combined the vital interests of the rebels from all walks of life, so the alliance became closer, more united, and the distribution of power, responsibility and interest became a problem that everyone must face.
After agreement, the alliance established the highest military and political body: the Grand Governor's Office, which was responsible for the military and political affairs of the alliance. Li Fengyun was the one who was not compelled and was also expected by everyone, and served as the highest military and political chief of the alliance: the chief of the march.
The Grand Governor's Mansion has a chief Shi, who is appointed by Chen Rui and sits in Mengshan. Sima two, the left Sima was served by Yuan An, and the expedition was outside; The right Sima was appointed by Yutai Wuyang, who was in charge of the government. One of the military officers was appointed by Xiao Yat. The rest of the Cao military and record officials were appointed.
Under the Great Governor's Office, there is a General Governor's Office responsible for military and administrative affairs, and in consideration of the actual needs of the Rebel Army at present, three Governor's Offices are temporarily set up.
Meng Haigong, the head of the South Governor's Office, Zhen Baoche and Xu Shiren, the deputy governors, led the Western Expedition to the South Route Army. Han Jinluo, the head of the North Governor's Office, and the deputy head Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan led the North Route Army of the Western Expedition. Han Yao, the head of the East Governor's Office, Wang Yang, and 6 Ping, the deputy governors, led the troops left behind to conquer Lu County.
At this point, although the rebel armies still maintained their independence, they had nominally handed over the supreme military decision-making power, the supreme military administrative power, and the supreme military command to the highest military and political organs of the alliance.
The psychology of the heroes from all walks of life is contradictory, they want to maintain their high degree of independence, and they want to share enough benefits from the alliance, but they can't have both, and Li Fengyun just drew a huge pie to tempt them, and finally forced them to cede a part of their power to the alliance, in exchange for rich benefits in the future.
Li Fengyun acted vigorously and resolutely, and on the fifth day after the decisive battle of Ningyang, he rushed south to Rencheng with eight regiments of Cangtou Army, and took the pace of the westward expedition to the Central Plains without hesitation.
The Cangtou army rested in Rencheng for a day, replenished grain and grass weapons, and then crossed the water, went south for eighty miles, and killed Kangfu City.
The appearance of the rebels plunged Kangfu City into a panic. Kang's father belonged to Lu County, and his township regiment was transferred away by Duan Wencao, and there were very few young and strong people in the city, and there was almost no resistance.
Li Fengyun did not order an attack, but camped under the city and sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance within a radius of dozens of miles.
That night, Meng Haigong, Han Jinluo and other chief managers and deputy directors came together to discuss the attack. Their army was in Rencheng at the moment, and Han Yao was far away in Ningyang, protecting the tens of thousands of people sent by Chen Rui to move the grain in the city to Mengshan day and night.
After everyone sat down, Zuo Sima Yuan An walked to the map hanging high on the side of the tent and began to tell the situation on the battlefield.
The distance between Kangfu City and Gaoping City in the southeast, Guting City and Fanghe City in the southwest is very close, and the farthest distance is only forty or fifty miles. The reason why there are so many towns built in such a narrow area is that it is the center of the waterway connection between the Central Plains, Qilu and Jianghuai, and it is the waterway hub that connects the three regions together.
In this radius of dozens of miles, there are four rivers of Surabaya, Zhushui, Heshui, and Hongshui, which pass through and intersect and connect, and then extend in two directions, and connect the Yellow River, the North-South Canal, Jishui, Huaihe and the Yangtze River. Among them, the confluence of Surabaya and Huanshui is Gaoping City, the confluence of Surabaya and Heshui is Guting City, the intersection of Heshui and Flood (Huan Gongdu) is Fang and Cheng, and between the flood and Zhushui, is Kangfu City.
Four rivers, three confluences, and four cities constitute a waterway hub connecting the Central Plains, Qilu and Jianghuai. In the Gaoqi era before the unification of Middle-earth, this place was the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. After the unification of China and Earth, the two generations of emperors adjusted their administrative divisions twice, and now this area has become the junction of Lu County, Pengcheng County, Jiyin County and Dongping County.
The importance of this area can be imagined, the wealth brought by waterway transportation is also very considerable, and the shipping industry of Da has also promoted the development of the local economy, so it is necessary to consider the whole situation in the administrative division, and the result is that the people who see it have a share. The local government did its best to maximize the interests of the region, which had the advantage of increasing the income of the government and the disadvantage of decreasing the interests of the merchants and commoners, and the resulting contradictions and conflicts became more and more serious. After the opening of the Grand Canal, the center of gravity of north-south transportation was immediately shifted to the canal waterway, which affected the Heshui and Surabaya waterways, which further aggravated the contradictions in this region. The rebellion of Meng Haigong on the front line of Heshui, the rebellion of Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan on the front line of the flood, and the rebellion of Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche in the upper reaches of Jishui are actually closely related to this waterway and the regional conflicts arising from this waterway.
Now, if the rebel army wants to advance westward into the Central Plains, it must control this area and fully play its important strategic role.
This area is the confluence of the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou, whether the rebels retreat to Mengshan or attack the Central Plains, they have to pass through here, and once the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou officials and armies encircle and suppress the rebels, the rebels need to control this place and use this as the center to win the space to maneuver.
Li Fengyun's strategy was to first concentrate the main force of the rebel army to occupy this area, first get the initiative on the battlefield, and make a posture of attacking the Central Plains, and at the same time observe the reaction of Duan Wencao of Lujun and Cui Deben of Pengcheng, if they gave the righteous army a "tacit understanding" as they expected, instead of joining forces to flank the rebel army and attack behind the rebel army, then the rebel army could temporarily put aside its "worries" and advance to the Central Plains with all its strength.
Once the rebel army cut off the waterways connecting the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou, the four county governments were forced to join forces to counterattack under the dual pressure of the eastern capital and the local government, which is why Meng Haigong and Huo Xiaohan did not dare to rashly attack this rich area.
Now that the Five Route Rebels have formed an alliance and their strength has increased greatly, and the first battle of Ningyang has beaten Duan Wencao back to Defective Hill, coupled with Li Fengyun's analysis at the political level, he has come to the conclusion that Duan Wencao and Cui Deben have no intention of encircling and suppressing the rebels at all, so the time is ripe to attack this area at this moment.
"The two cities of Kangfu and Gaoping belong to Lu County, and the two cities of Guting and Fanghe belong to Pengcheng County." Yuan An pointed to the map and said the key point of this battle, "This Duan Wen Cao is trapped in guarding the flawed hills, and he is temporarily unable to take care of southwest Lu, our army can capture Kangfu and Gaoping along the way, but the Pengcheng official army is on the border, the Lanling Xiao family is on the first line of Zou Cheng and Pingyang, and the Yingyang Mansion of Tengcheng and Yingyang of Peicheng are also very close to Fanghe and Guting, less than 100 miles, and they can be reached overnight." Yuan An drew a circle on the map, "If our army wants to capture this area, it must fight with the Pengcheng official army." Considering that the Western Expedition is directly related to the survival of our army, we can only win this battle and not lose it. ”
"In addition, when we attack this area, the Si and Heshui channels will be cut off. Although the Grand Canal is the main transportation channel, its carrying capacity is limited after all, and the Si and Heshui channels just play a diversion role, so the smoothness of the Si and Heshui channels is very important to the Eastern Capital. Once the Si and Heshui channels are cut off, the eastern capital will inevitably attach importance to it and will definitely order the officers and troops of the four counties of Dongping, Jiyin, Lujun, and Pengcheng to encircle and suppress us. The main forces of Yingyang Mansion in Dongping and Jiyin have gone to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and if they want to fight the rebellion, they must requisition the local township regiments, and the Eastern Capital will authorize the two county governments to requisition and mobilize local armed forces to fight the rebellion. In this way, the local armies of Dongping and Jiyin counties will, like Lu County and Pengcheng County, quickly develop and form a certain combat effectiveness in a short period of time, which will cause a heavy obstacle to our army's westward expedition to the Central Plains. ”
To put it bluntly, in a word, in order to grab time and degree, everyone should no longer make small calculations and conserve their strength, but believe in the chief Li Fengyun, resolutely obey the orders of the great governor's office, and strive to capture this area in the shortest possible time, and march westward along Heshui, and take the officers and troops by surprise. By the time the officers and soldiers reacted and came up with countermeasures to counterattack, the rebels had already grown, had more troops, and were stronger, and the officers and troops were already very passive, and the rebels who had always controlled the initiative would be invincible and invincible on the battlefield.
If you give without hesitation now, you will be rewarded countless times in the future. When it comes to this, although only Yuan An is talking, Li Fengyun has always been silent, but Li Fengyun's dissatisfaction has been clearly revealed between the lines. The battle of Ningyang was not only the loss of your army, but also the loss of our Cangtou army, and the westward expedition to the Central Plains is not my business alone, but it is related to the life and death of everyone, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people in Mengshan. Today, my cangtou army has arrived under the city of Kangfu, but your army is still in Rencheng, what do you mean? Are you just waiting for my cangtou army to attack the city, and you will pick up the cheap behind? Don't even have the strength to wave the flag and shout?
The atmosphere in the tent gradually became depressed. The more Li Fengyun didn't speak, the greater the coercion, and even gave people a sense of suffocation.
Li Fengyun's authority was bought with blood and life, with faith and courage, and on the basis of incredible miracles. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, since you are a big tree, you have to shelter me, right? Once there is this sense of dependence psychologically, there is naturally a helplessness and loss that they have to obey Li Fengyun, and this feeling is shared, the heroes know each other, and they all know that Li Fengyun now has the opportunity to win over and divide and "break through" them, so deep in his heart he has a trace of awe for Li Fengyun, worried that he will unite with other heroes to isolate and attack himself.
"Ming Gong, there is a plan, or you can take down Kang's father and Gao Ping without blood."
Xu Shiren spoke, and made a clear statement, not only supporting Li Fengyun verbally, but also supporting the general manager of the alliance in action.
