Chapter 1003 Great Wu's Western Expedition and Destruction of Guishuang V
At noon, the sun shines like a rainbow, reflecting on the magnificent atmosphere of Jinling City.
Forbidden City.
Military Aircraft Pavilion.
In the council hall, around a large conference table in a ring, the high-level generals of the Military Aircraft Department gathered together, and the first person sitting in the front was Sun Quan, the emperor of Eastern Wu, the general Pan Feng, and the Taiwei Ju Yi, serving left and right.
The tall and handsome Zhao Yun, the one-armed vicissitudes of life Sun Ce, the taciturn Gao Shun, like King Kong's Lei Ding, and the staff Shangshu, Zhou Yu, who had just returned to the military, sat solemnly one by one.
"How's the recent military buildup going?"
Sun Quan was wearing a white plain clothes, Cai Yong had passed away for a few days, and as Cai Yong's son-in-law, he naturally had to wear linen and filial piety for Cai Yong.
However, his current king is in great power, even if he is wearing a plain robe, he has a strong power when he sits there, and the generals in the hall dare not look at it directly.
"Your Majesty, the General Staff Department has completed the reorganization of the military officers and men, as long as the Military Aircraft Department passes the review, it can be conveyed, and then reorganized!"
Zhou Yu handed over a file and said.
"The whole country is in the formation of one hundred and twenty thousand seven thousand one hundred and thirty, headed by the Central Army, a total of nine army corps have been established, the establishment of thirty armies, one hundred divisions, that is, on the basis of the seven battalions plus the Bashu Army and the Western Expedition Army!"
Sun Quan swept his gaze, then closed the file and asked the generals, "Have you read this adaptation plan?" ”
The Bashu Legion had to be established, but this Western Expeditionary Legion was proposed by itself, dividing the Sea Eagle Battalion and the Western Expeditionary Army.
After all, during this period of time, the Seahawk battalion has always regarded the navy as an army that logs in land operations, which is not conducive to the future development of the navy, and separation must be separated.
"Back to Your Majesty, I've already seen it!"
The generals nodded.
"What do you think?" Sun Quan continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, we think. There is no problem with the establishment, but this Western Expeditionary Legion needs to be carefully considered, after all, the establishment of the Western Expeditionary Legion is intended to be established by using Han Sui's army, which will make us a little passive in this regard! Zhao Yun said.
"Zhou Yu, you can put the affairs of the Western Expeditionary Legion aside, other legions. The reorganization must be completed before the end of the year, wrapping the military rank, and next year we will enter the final state of preparation! ”
Sun Quan thought about it and said cleanly.
"No!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"In the end, it's the Central Army that counts!" Sun Quan looked at Zhao Yun and Gao Shun: "Zhao Yun is the commander of the Central Army, Gao Shun is the deputy commander, Xu Shu is the chief of staff, the three of you try to get the fastest time possible." Complete the reorganization of the Jiangdong battalion and set an example for the whole army! ”
"Yes!"
The three of them were commanded.
"There is one more thing in today's military meeting, this is a copy of the Sea Eagle Battalion, Zhou Tai proposed to take advantage of the truce in the Central Plains, the army marched westward, and did his best to destroy the Kushan Empire and enter the Rest Empire. What do you think of the proposal to go north to the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate? ”
Sun Quan's gaze swept over. Then he threw out a piece of the recital in his hand and asked.
This was reported directly from the Sea Eagle Battalion.
Speaking of which, over the years, the Wu army has invested a lot of troops in the Guishan expedition, even if the Central Plains is tight, the Wu army has not given up the battle of Guishan.
Now it has some results, if it can destroy the Kushan Empire, it can be regarded as the first step of the Great Western Expedition.
That's a good thing. But at this juncture, for the country, it is not necessarily happy.
The Central Plains has just ceased war, and the Wu army is still facing reorganization, so if there is a big move at this time. It will undoubtedly give many people the impression of being reckless, and if they can't destroy Guishuang, they will lose the dignity of Dawu.
"Your Majesty, in fact, with the combat power of the Sea Eagle Battalion, it is not difficult for them to destroy the Kushan Empire, but if they want to take the Western Regions Protectorate and get close to the Rest Empire, it is a little whimsical!"
Pan Feng was the first to answer: "I think General Zhou Tai's move is a little impatient!" ”
"The general is right, the Kushan Empire has not yet been taken, and they are already thinking about the Rest Empire, which is equivalent to a little long-looking Shu, too impatient, and although Han Sui's army entered the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate, it is still a big question whether they can meet the division!"
Chen Gong, who was sitting next to him, continued.
"Pan Feng, you don't agree, so what do you mean?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he thought about it carefully, looked at the generals and asked.
"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the Kushan Empire is now in a state of survival, and there is no need to risk fighting, when you take every step of the way, you will definitely be able to destroy the Kushan Empire, and you can't rush for a while!"
Xu Shu stood up and said, "The Great War of the Western Expedition should not start at this time!" ”
"A certain family thinks that every fighter on the battlefield is precious, and now that General Zhou Tai has the fighter plane, he should take a risk, right?"
Sun Ce retorted.
The battle of Guanzhong was not a bad thing for Sun Ce, although he lost his armor and broke his arm, and the aspects that he was once suspicious of in this battle have disappeared, and in the Wu army, he has completely become a pure general.
The influence of his words in the military aircraft department is becoming more and more significant.
"Your Majesty, I want to ask, can the logistics be able to withstand the Great Western Expedition at this time?" After all, Zhou Tai was born in the household department, and the first question he asked was logistics.
"You can rest assured of this!"
Sun Quan smiled: "Now the Guishan Governor's Mansion is richer than us, they have the support of the Australian side, they can be completely self-sufficient, and they don't have to bother the court to allocate funds and allocate grain, this is the confidence of Zhou Tai to go west!" ”
"If so, I'm rooting for them!"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "The truce in the Central Plains, that is helpless, within two years, it is not appropriate to start a war, at this time we focus on the Western Regions, it is also an opportunity!" ”
"That Zhou Tai proposed the need to increase the domestic army of Guishan, and prepared to use the momentum of the Great Western Expedition to cross the Rest Empire from the Kushan Empire, what do you think?" When Sun Quan heard this, the amber glittered with a gleam and continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, you can't increase your troops!"
When Ju Yi heard this, he directly objected: "Now our great enemy is always Cao Wei. When the Central Plains is the mainstay, if the strength of the Sea Eagle Battalion is to march westward by itself, we will support it, but at this time, if we want to increase the number of troops in the country, there will be a big difference between our Central Plains preparation plan, although the soldiers and horses of Dawu are more than one million. However, the territory of defense is too wide, and if troops are transferred to the west at this time, it will undoubtedly be a bit indiscriminate! ”
"The last general also thinks that it is not appropriate to put too much energy in the Western Regions at this time, after all, the Central Plains is undecided, and there will always be a bloody battle between us and Cao Wei!" Zhao Yun also objected.
"Your Majesty, compared to the Rest Empire, I am more concerned about the countries of the Western Regions, if you take the Kushan Empire. We can go north from the south to the territory of the former Western Regions Protectorate, dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, Wusun, Dawan, Shanshan, and Cheshi all have a certain number of troops! ”
Chen Gong said: "Once the Western Regions are in chaos, the soldiers and horses of the Sea Eagle Battalion must go north, which is the trend of the western expedition. It's not good either! ”
"Actually, you are saying all this just to tell me. You don't really agree, I have pressed so many domestic troops in the Western Regions at this time, right? Sun Quan's eyes swept over the faces and said suddenly.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately silent.
They do not want to be at this time. suppressed the Wu army in the Western Regions, after all, the decisive battle in the Central Plains is the most important thing now.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we disagree with the Great Western Expedition, we just want to remind Your Majesty that the Central Plains is not peaceful. If you take care of both ends, it will cause Da Wu to suffer a certain amount of damage! ”
Pan Feng said in a deep voice.
"I actually know very well what you said, but have you ever wondered why I have been so keen to suppress my forces in the Western Regions?" Sun Quan said rhetorically.
"This?"
The generals immediately looked at each other and were silent.
Sun Quan had always been keen to push his forces westward, and he cared about the battles in the Western Regions, sometimes more than in the Central Plains, which made them sometimes puzzled.
"I'm going to tell you about my intentions today!"
Sun Quan stood up and erected a world map on the huge screen in front of the conference table, which he personally described, spliced memories over the years, and constantly improved the world map.
He walked around the chairs of the generals, pointing to the world map as he walked, and said: "I often say that we should take a long-term view, in fact, for me, the Central Plains has long been a thing in the bag, Cao Wei is how to toss, over the years, he can only defend, and dare not attack, Dawu is different, we say war, we say, stop, stop, this is our strength." ”
"Your Majesty's words are very good!"
"That's right, our Da Wu does have such an advantage!"
When the generals heard this, their hearts were boiling, Sun Quan was not wrong, all these years of warfare, it has always been Dongwu who took the initiative, and Cao Wei was next to him.
This has already shown the strength of Soochow from another direction.
"The most important thing is that my goal is never just Cao Mengde and the Wei Dynasty, what I want is the whole world, under the world, the only Wu!"
Sun Quan stepped forward and slapped his big hand on the map of the screen, and Lang Lang's voice echoed in the main hall: "Maybe in your hearts, the Western Regions are far away, and the Rest Empire, the Roman Empire, is too far away from your sight, so you are more willing to take care of the present, but I can't do this." ”
Sun Quan's voice was a little low and magnetic, with a passionate voice, which made all the soldiers listen to it in their hearts.
"I would rather delay the time of unifying the Central Plains, and also suppress the troops in the Western Regions, because I want to establish a direction for everyone in the Great Wu Dynasty, I want to tell you that we are not only tossing in the Central Plains, we are always advancing, this is my original intention!"
"Destroy the Kushan Empire, I absolutely support it!"
Sun Quan's eyes were sharp, swept over, and said categorically: "As for the countries of the Western Regions, what I want is not for them to support the Western Regions as in the past, but to surrender completely, there are no conditions to talk about, in this battle, I will do my best to support Zhou Tai to fight to the end!" ”
"Your Majesty, now that we are reforming the military system, if we increase the number of troops at this time, will there be some chaos?"
After half a ring, Xu Shu said in a low voice.
"You're right!"
Sun Quan nodded: "Increasing troops basically doesn't work, I have great ambitions, and it also depends on the reality, but we can't help but give them a little support, so I plan to use Tai Shici as the main general, Lu Meng as the deputy general, and send Yin Luxun of Jinling Mansion as the chief of staff, to establish an officer training regiment to recruit the young generals in the army today, such as Ding Feng and Ling Tong, and then take 100% of the Wutang soldiers as the mainstay, go west to Guishan, and reinforce Zhou Tai!" ”
Now the main force of the Wu army, whether it is north and south, is resting, and if they want to draw out troops and horses, they can't do so.
So Sun Quan thought about it again and again, and thought of the teaching regiment model during the Republic of China, using military cadets to form an officer corps, which can kill two birds with one stone, one can reinforce Zhou Tai, and the other can train soldiers, the Central Plains will be calm in the past two years, if these young officers can be trained on the battlefield in the Western Regions, and then dispatched back in the decisive battle in the future, they will be a comprehensive supplement to the middle-level generals!
