A big hug made Wu Shaogang feel the long-lost brotherhood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Together with Lu Wende, he came to the garrison of the imperial army in Hezhou, and Wu Shaogang met Cai Siwei.
On behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, Lu Wende went to the imperial army in Hezhou to arrange combat tasks, and this time it was not only the imperial army in Hezhou that participated in the battle, but also the imperial army in Jinzhou, plus the army in Sichuan, with a total strength of about 30,000 people.
The formation of the Hezhou Imperial Army is not long, in the first year of Tianqing, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge, who attacked the Diaoyu City of Hezhou, Sichuan, suffered heavy losses in the Diaoyu City, and was wounded and died.
The formation time is not long, which means that the combat effectiveness of the imperial armies in Hezhou is average.
Lu Wende is the coach, and Wu Shaogang is the deputy marshal, so naturally he needs to be contacted in the army.
arranged related matters, Lu Wende left early, he still has a lot of things to deal with, especially the stability of other parts of Sichuan, which makes him worry, Liu Quan's rebellion has plunged the whole of Sichuan into fluctuations, and the confrontation and dissatisfaction of Zhang Shijie, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, made Lu Wende even more annoyed.
All this requires Lu Wende to find a way to calm down and stabilize.
Naturally, the main command of this operation fell to Wu Shaogang, but in fact, this cannot be regarded as power, but a huge responsibility.
"Unexpectedly, we are fighting side by side again together."
"Big brother, we are brothers, and such an important battle naturally has to fight side by side."
"Brother, even if you let go of the command, I will obey the order."
"Well, big brother, during this period of time, you have investigated a lot of information about Liu Quan, and I want to know more about it."
Cai Siwei nodded, walked to the desk, opened the drawer below, and took out a stack of papers.
"It's all here, brother, look at it in detail, I'll come when I go, don't leave today, you and my brother have a good drink."
A stack of documents was placed on the table, all of which were information about Liu Chuan and Tongchuan Fulu.
Liu Cheng naturally went to prepare a banquet.
Hezhou is not as prosperous as the capital, the conditions are much more difficult, and as the most advanced position, it is already within the scope of military control.
When he walked to the door, Cai Siwei turned around.
"Brother, I heard that you also brought your family and stayed in the inn temporarily, is there such a thing?"
"There's this."
"Hey, you are really real, Hezhou is very hard, almost all the rich families have left, everyone is worried that this place will also fall, you let your family come, it seems that this time Liu Quan will definitely lose."
Speaking of this, Cai Siwei took out a document from his body, walked over and handed it to Wu Shaogang.
"My sister-in-law came to Hezhou, but I can't always live in the inn, this house is my meeting gift, I sent a sergeant to clean up, prepared some necessary things, and let my sister-in-law move in tomorrow, don't live in the inn."
Wu Shao just took the paperwork, which was a deed.
Cai Siwei must have been prepared for a long time.
"Thank you, big brother."
"Where is so much nonsense, what is not thankful, okay, I'm out, I'll be back in a while."
After Cai Siwei left, Wu Shao began to carefully read the documents on the table.
The map was hung on the wall, Wu Shaogang looked at the paperwork while drawing on the map, and soon, his expression became solemn, looking at the paperwork in his hand for a while, looking at the map on the wall for a while, and more often falling into contemplation.
When Cai Siwei entered the room, Wu Shaogang was still pondering.
"Brother, the banquet is ready, and I have sent a sergeant to send it to my sister-in-law."
Wu Shaogang smiled at Cai Siwei and waved his hand.
"Big brother, don't worry, I just read this information, and I feel that Liu Cheng is indeed extraordinary."
"I am familiar with Liu Quan, he is indeed capable, and it is really not easy to defeat him."
Wu Shaogang's hand pointed to two places, Luzhou and Tongchuan.
"Liu Chuan placed his main forces in Luzhou and Tongchuan, one south and one north, backed by Chengdu Fu Road, which can be attacked and defended, once the battle situation is unfavorable, he can calmly withdraw to Chengdu Mansion, Suining Mansion, Puzhou, Zizhou, Shaoxi Mansion, Fushun, Xuzhou, Changning and other places, although it is also under his jurisdiction, there are not many troops."
"This way of deploying troops is very rational and well-thought-out, and the two most important places on Tongchuan Fu Road are Luzhou and Tongchuan, which control these two places and basically control Tongchuan Fu Road."
"Liu Quan's deployment is like this, and he can calmly deal with the attack of the army, according to our strength, it is impossible to attack two places at the same time, only to choose between Luzhou and Tongchuan, Lord Lu has made a decision, first attack Luzhou, in the process of attacking Luzhou, relying on Chongqing Mansion and Hezhou, step by step, so Liu Cheng is difficult to resist, and the Mongolian Tatars stationed in Chengdu Mansion will never do their best to support Liu Quan."
"But in this way, there is one of the biggest problems, once Liu Quan can't hold Luzhou, he will immediately choose to evacuate, or go to Tongchuan, or pass through Xuzhou into Jiading Mansion under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fulu, if such a situation occurs, even if we recover Luzhou, we can't be regarded as a victory in the battle."
Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang and spoke without thinking.
"Brother, our combat mission is to recover Luzhou, as for whether we can completely exterminate Liu Quan's rebels, Lord Lu has not asked for it, and neither has the emperor and the imperial court."
Looking at Cai Siwei, Wu Shaogang's expression was quite serious.
"Big brother, no matter what the emperor, the imperial court, and Lord Lu have to ask, we must first think of many possibilities, including what problems we will encounter in the process of fighting, the most important of which is what we need to achieve in the war, whether to recover the city, or to exterminate the rebels to the greatest extent."
"In my opinion, as long as the rebels can be completely wiped out, the lost territory can naturally be recovered, once the rebels flee, even if we recover the city, we are always in danger."
Cai Siwei nodded slightly, and then shook his head.
"Brother, what you said is right, I can't refute it when I hear it, but this idea of yours, that is, say it in front of me, don't say it in front of Lord Lu, and don't play the emperor and the court."
Wu Shaogang smiled, and the smile was meaningful.
"Big brother, I understand what you mean, if I don't know this, how can I command this operation."
Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang and suddenly understood something.
"Brother, you are really powerful, it's still the same sentence, where you point, I will kill you."
"Thank you, big brother, all the battle plans are set by Lord Lu, but if we are completely in accordance with the battle plan formulated by Lord Lu, and we don't know how to adjust it according to the specific situation on the battlefield, then what do we need these generals to do, this battle, we must have our own clear ideas."
"I understand, hehe, it seems that this time, Liu Cheng is going to suffer a big loss."
Wu Shaogang smiled again.
"Big brother, the imperial court is implementing the planning law, the money and grain of the local government cannot be moved, our food and salary all have to rely on the imperial court to pay, we have moved the money and grain of the local government, even if we win the battle, we will encounter impeachment, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, many brothers are desperate in front, saying that they are for the court, this is a big deal, they still have families, if they die, the court will not support their families, so we are the ones who lead the troops, Their vital interests must be taken into account, and they must be given sufficient protection, otherwise they will not work hard, and when the big war comes, the generals and sergeants cannot be of the same mind, how to win the battle. ”
The banquet was held in the barracks.
All the people who participated in the banquet were the commanders of the imperial armies in Hezhou.
This time, Wu Shaogang did not hide it and toasted all the commanders.
The troops in front of the Hezhou Imperial Army participated in the battle as a whole, except for a small number of sergeants who stayed in the city of Hezhou, all the rest had to be pulled out, and the support of these commanders was also what Wu Shaogang had to do.
Cai Siwei's respect for Wu Shaogang was seen by many commanders, and they also knew that in the Battle of Ezhou more than two years ago, Wu Shaogang made great contributions, leading the army to capture the city of Huangzhou and killing nearly a thousand Mongol Tartars.
After the banquet was over, Cai Siwei sent someone to send Wu Shaogang, who had drunk a little too much, to the new mansion.
What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that Li Hanwei and others had moved to the new mansion, and Zhang Binghui and others were helping to pack up their things.
Getting out of the carriage, the sergeant who followed Wu Shaogang was holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
Entering the lobby and seeing Li Hanwei, the sergeant respectfully handed over the sandalwood box, put it on the table, and said that this was General Cai Siwei's heart.
After the sergeant left, Li Hanwei opened the sandalwood box, which contained a full ten ingots of gold.
Wu Shaogang and Li Hanwei's wedding, Cai Siwei was far away in Hezhou, Sichuan, and was not able to participate, which was also a special gift from Cai Siwei, but this gift was too big.
Looking at the ten ingots of gold in the sandalwood box, the corners of Li Hanwei's eyes were slightly moist, and after coming to Hezhou and entering the inn, she felt the harshness of the conditions here, which made her heart feel a little lost.
However, he quickly moved to a spacious mansion, simply walked around the mansion, everything was complete, and Cai Siwei specially sent a sergeant to send a wedding gift, which at least shows that his husband has a good relationship outside.
Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, Li Hanwei fully agrees with these views, at this time, her heart is finally down-to-earth, it seems that following her husband is guaranteed in this life. (To be continued.) )
