Chapter 964: Yang Guang asked
A hint of pride flashed on Yang Guang's face, looking at the generals under the stage, and began to turn with the orders of the generals, the marching groups of soldiers said with a smile: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, although I like to listen to some beautiful words, but you don't have to praise me like this, I am just learning and using after reading the military book for a few days, and it is still not good to compare with the famous generals who have fought all their lives." ”
Wang Shichong grimaced and said with a smile: "No, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, born with majesty, which is what those famous generals do not have, the so-called famous generals, the prestige of the generals is only erected by strict military discipline, or by killing people to establish authority, and these are the things that Your Majesty was born with, plus Your Majesty just gave strict orders, and the orders were clear and accurate, which can make the generals, including Weichen, so convincing, this is Your Majesty's talent, and it is definitely not the intentional boasting of Weichen." ”
The corners of Yang Guang's mouth turned up slightly, these words made him very comfortable, he nodded, and said, "Okay, Wang Aiqing, don't talk about this, what do you think about the arrangements of the generals of all walks of life this time?" ”
Wang Shichong hurriedly said: "How dare Weichen have any opinions, this is His Majesty's arrangement, how dare Weichen say more?" ”
Yang Guang's eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and his voice was lengthened, and he said "um", obviously a little dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's answer.
Wang Shichong saw that the situation was not quite right, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen has something to hide, it's that Weichen really thinks that this arrangement is very reasonable, and last time Weichen told you that General Yuwen seems to have little confidence in this expedition, so he can't let him be the vanguard of the army." And the generals of the Guan Long family are not convinced by each other, you don't care who you let be the vanguard of this front army. It will attract other people's opinions, and if they do not cooperate with each other on the battlefield, or even deliberately trap this vanguard to death, this battle will not be fought. ”
Yang Guang nodded: "Wang Aiqing, I took this into account, so I used the wheat iron rod as a pioneer, to be honest." When you weren't with me a while ago, I really wanted to talk to you about it, after all, you and General Mak had worked together before. You should know him very well, you said that General Mai was the vanguard, what would be the result? Will he be able to fulfill my request and fight all the way to Liaodong City? ”
Wang Shichong's brows furrowed slightly. After a deep groan. said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with General Mai's loyalty and bravery, but for many years, he has led thousands of troops to fight, and he has never commanded three armies or more than 40,000 troops. Controlling the overall situation is two different things, and Wechen is really a little worried. At that time, General Mai loyally overturned his head, went deep alone, lost contact with the follow-up troops, and was in danger of defeat. ”
Wang Shichong's words have also been fully considered, he knows very well that Goguryeo has been prepared for a long time this time, the outcome of this war is unpredictable, no matter who is the vanguard, there is a huge risk, and from today's point of view of the situation, many Guanlong generals are quite dissatisfied with Mai Tiecane to take the vanguard, whether they will deliberately watch Mai Tiecane fall into a desperate situation on the battlefield, it is difficult to say.
These Guan Long generals, you can be hello to me and hello to everyone in normal times, but when they fight for military merits, they don't recognize the six relatives, which Wang Shichong fully learned from He Ruobi and Han Baohu, Wang Shiji and others when he conquered Chen in the south twenty years ago. After all, Mai Tiezhu is an old friend who has been friends with him for 20 years and has been born and died together, although he is unwilling to start an incident with him, but Wang Shifu does not want to watch him die.
Yang Guang shook his head: "Wang Aiqing, do you mean that it is possible that General Guan Longzhong will deliberately trap General Mai on the battlefield?" I don't believe they dare to do this! ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "Your Majesty, this is a great achievement of breaking the country and capturing the king, as a warrior, military merit means title and reward, did you just see the eyes of the generals here when they looked at the arrows in your hand, this is the mood of their uncontrollable achievements in their hearts, General Mai, who has won the vanguard position, will definitely lead his subordinates, and defeat all the Goguryeo troops who stand in the way along the way, and go straight to Liaodong City." ”
"But the generals of the other provinces have their own tasks, so they will inevitably stay to attack the city and plunder the land, so that they will definitely form a time gap with General Mai, and in the end, even if they have the intention to respond, they will open a gap with General Mai, which will create an opportunity for the Goguryeo army to outflank and besiege General Mai's headquarters!"
Yang Guang's face sank like water, behind his back with his hands, pacing up, he said as he walked: "Didn't I give an order, asking them to set off every other day, and the camps are connected, only a day's distance, how can they outflank and cut off the Goguryeo army?" ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, when you say that you are going to set off an army every other day, you mean that here, Zhuo County, has not yet entered the territory of Goguryeo, that is, it has not entered the war zone, but after the army crosses the Liaoshui, the main generals of each province have to advance according to the goal of the battle, and no longer follow the marching route of the first army in front, that is to say, it is impossible to keep a day's distance from the friendly troops in the front road, and live in the camp tent where they lived the day before, and Goguryeo is fighting on the mainland, Their spies will surely find a gap between our armies and then mobilize the main forces to besiege our lone army! ”
Yang Guang's face became more and more gloomy, he stopped, thought for a while, and then said: "Wang Aiqing, you are the first person to mention this to me, so in your opinion, how should you remedy it now, so that the situation you said will not occur?" ”
Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "This order to set off can not be changed, and the commanders of the armies cannot be changed, otherwise the military order will change again and again, which will make the armies at a loss, but Your Majesty can add another order, that is, the grain and grass of the army need time to be transferred, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang in Huaiyuan Town, is now the logistics manager of the entire army, and his grain and grass there are piled up, but from Huaiyuan to the Liaohe River, thousands of miles apart, each army must ensure that the grain and grass are sufficient, before they can march into Liaodong." ”
"In order to ensure the supply of logistics, more than 400,000 soldiers of the former army first assembled on the west side of Liaoshui, and waited until all the grain and grass were in place and the imperial camp also arrived in Liaoshui, and then it was not too late to divide the army according to the original plan! Also, when the time comes, you can let the Turkic servant army follow the vanguard of General Mai, and distribute more of the spoils to them, with the cover of cavalry, even if you fall into a heavy siege, you can quickly kill it!
