Volume 8: Chapter 302 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": The Vocation of a Military General?

Meng Zhao carefully recalled every order sent by Xilin, he did not see the traces that Xilin did not want the Black Flag Army to quickly capture the entire Wei's Korea, on the contrary, Xilin rewarded the Black Flag Army for its rapid progress in the war many times, and never skimped on the promotion of meritorious soldiers and material rewards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two months ago, that is, at the beginning of January, the Black Flag Army marched from Su Shen and arrived at the Wei's Korean battlefield after a long seven-day march, and experienced the battle of Yiwu Mountain, and the entire corps of more than 50,000 regular troops was promoted by the Xilin side Nearly 300 grassroots officers, and 26 middle-level officers and two senior officers were also promoted to military merit, and the rewards of wealth were even heavier. Don't underestimate those data, it is such a small amount of data that represents the importance that Xilin attaches to the Black Flag Army, after all, there have always been so many people in each legion who have been promoted at the same time.

Now Meng Zhao was reminded by Han Anguo that he had some epiphany, the last time he destroyed Su Shen, Xilin's reward was quite normal, but after arriving at the Wei's Korean battlefield, the military exploits of the local war were richer than the war of annihilation, and a little clue can be seen from here......

"The king wants to expand the infantry army on a large scale, so he has promoted a large number of meritorious soldiers of the infantry army, so he is reserving officers for later use!"

Now the number of infantry troops in the Han Department has been continuously growing, and anyone can see that this is preparing for entering the Central Plains, and the primary condition for the expansion of the army is not the allocation of materials but whether the reserve officers are sufficient, if there are not enough officers, even if the infantry army is expanded with sufficient materials, it cannot immediately form combat effectiveness, so that the focus of attention is slightly biased towards the Black Flag Army, which is actually not a good thing.

Most of the members of the Black Flag Army were from the pre-Qin tribe, and they were the most skilled foot combat group in the Han tribe. Whether it is siege or mountain warfare, it is incomparable with other cavalry-based legions, and the last time the cavalry corps attacked Wei's Korea was to illustrate one fact, that is, what kind of terrain needs what kind of corps. Each clan has a role to play.

treats the Black Flag Army favorably, it is Lin Bin who is trying to win the hearts of the army, and the second step is probably to compensate for the edict. Why compensate? The answer is already coming out, Lin Bin wants to transfer the legion with infantry combat experience from the Black Flag Army, and let these officers be the backbone of the newly expanded infantry corps, so that the newly established legion can quickly form combat strength.

Han Anguo has made it very clear that Lin Bin doesn't want the war in Wei's Korea to end so soon. I'm afraid there are a lot of intentions in this.

After being reminded, Meng Zhao only guessed a few points:

One is to create an intuitive impression that the Han army was dragged on the battlefield of Wei's Korea, and told the emperor of the Han State with such superficial facts, "You can rest assured." I won't send troops south, so you can put down the rebellion with peace of mind", and at the same time, he was also confusing the Huns and giving them a space to think nonsense. It is not only to explain that "our Han Department is fighting on two sides" but also to say that "since it is a two-sided war." I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate on you Huns."

Does the Han State think that it is not to talk about it first, but the Huns are definitely also the idea of letting the Han fight on both sides, otherwise why would the Huns hook up with Wei's Korea, a country with low military strength?

Second, I'm afraid that Lin Bin has already mentioned it a long time ago, the Han Department lacks infantry with actual combat experience, and if you want to fight south, you must not lack infantry that can fight in the mountains and siege cities, and the expansion of the infantry army of the Han Department has become an ironclad fact, so how should you quickly let the newly expanded infantry have actual combat experience? There is no doubt that these infantry were pulled to the battlefield of Wei's Korea, so that they could get acquainted with the blood!

Isn't the warring Korean battlefield a good place for military training? There is absolutely no doubt about it. The Wei's Korean army, which was not strong in combat, was definitely a good training target for the Han Army, and the terrain in Wei's Korea was also very suitable for training recruits who had just entered the corps. While it was impossible to turn the newly formed infantry corps into elite troops at once, at least they would experience siege warfare and mountain warfare first-hand on the battlefield of Webster Korea, so that they would not panic when they encountered the same situation when they went south in the future.

So things seem to have all come to the surface all at once? The war on the Wei's Korean battlefield can be fought slowly, waiting for Lin Bin to feel that the time is right and then take Wei's North Korea in an all-round way, as long as you think about this layer clearly, it is not difficult to understand why Xilin just blindly rewarded and did not give an all-out offensive order.

Meng Zhao glanced at Han Anguo, the middle-aged military general in front of him may have been mixed with the gate valve forces for a long time and saw things very thoroughly, Meng Zhao just doubted whether Han Anguo's promotion was his own intention or Lin Bin's entrustment. If it was Han Anguo's own intention, Meng Zhao still needed to ask Lin Bin private, and if Lin Bin asked Han Anguo to convey it, then Meng Zhao himself would need to review it carefully.

Han Anguo was a little unaccustomed to being looked at by Meng Zhao, he seemed to know what Meng Zhao was thinking, and said lightly: "These are the general's random speculations, and the commander should not take it to heart." ”

Does Meng Zhao believe that those are really Han Anguo's own random guesses? Leave this question out of the question. He understands where the gap between himself and Han Anguo is, so he also knows why Lin Bin values Han Anguo.

"Don't laugh at President Han, I have been outside the plug for a long time, and I have forgotten a lot of Chinese customs, and I will have to bother President Han to remind me a lot in the future."

Han Anguo hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare", he saw that Meng Zhao had understood and knew what to do, so he didn't want to waste more time on this issue, after all, the favor had been sold, according to the pre-Qin people's character of revenge and kindness, as long as it was not too difficult, it would definitely not be a problem to need Meng Zhao's help in the future, as long as it was not too difficult.

Han Anguo didn't forget the purpose of coming here, and he took a sip of tea before he made his intentions clear.

"I have been walking between the various departments in the past few days, and I have seen that the morale of the soldiers and soldiers of each department is high, and the Mongolian commander has led the troops well!"

The Chinese nation's style of doing things, everything must be complimented first, and this has become an indispensable part of the communication process.

Meng Zhao was still very confident in his means of leading troops, and the character of the pre-Qin people also determined his style of acting, so he nodded slightly and waited for Han Anguo to continue.

"The food and straw and other materials of the various departments are also sufficient, but the arrows are slightly insufficient, so it is necessary to let Xilin transport more arrows."

Meng Zhao: The good impression of "......" just now was almost dispelled by a series of nonsense.

Han Anguo didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he pulled some things again, and waited for Meng Zhao to show an impatient expression before getting to the point.

"Have you ever heard of the Goguryeo clan?"

"Yes."

"It's a lot easier. Presumably, the commander also knew the habits of the Goguryeo people, and he learned an interesting story during his tour of various departments......"

Meng Zhao really didn't want Han Anguo to talk about it again, although he knew that it was rude to cut off other people's conversations, he still interjected: "Chief Han wants to talk about the gathering of people and riots by this small clan in Goguryeo?" ”

Han Anguo sneered: "It turns out that the commander of the Meng knows about this. ”

In fact, Meng Zhao didn't know if he didn't know it, the first thing he heard when he just led his headquarters to the battlefield of Wei's Korea was that Goguryeo was gathering people to make trouble in the hinterland of Wei's Korea, and at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it because he wanted to coordinate the war, if Han Anguo didn't talk about it now, I'm afraid he wouldn't even think about it.

"The small clan of Goguryeo is extremely repetitive, why did Chief Han mention it?"

That's why it needs to be mentioned. Goguryeo's repeated repetitions were bad things for Wei's Joseon, but they were good things for our army. There's a lot to be done! ”

"Chief Han is trying to contact the Goguryeo people?"

Han Anguo glanced at Meng Zhao with great meaning, he needed to leave some time for Meng Zhao to think, and this move just reflected the kind of Chinese aristocratic atmosphere in Han Anguo, only those who have been wandering in the aristocratic class for a long time will notice the seemingly small politeness.

In fact, there is absolutely no fool who can climb to a high position, the reason why they stand on a high position and stand firm is precisely because their vision is wider than others, their reaction speed is faster than others, and they can find something beneficial to themselves in a seemingly ordinary matter.

"Goguryeo has a population of 80,000 in Wei's Korea, and most of the tribes are in the area of Nansushui......" Meng Zhao looked up at Han Anguo: "Chief Han answered me truthfully, did the Goguryeo clan talk about it?" ”

Han Anguo showed an appropriately surprised expression: "How does the commander know?" ”

Meng Zhao said astonishingly: "Can 80,000 people make a difference? I'm afraid that the king wants to use the hands of the Wei Koreans to destroy the Goguryeo clan! ”

The above sentence is absolutely no joke, the battle to destroy Sushen was commanded by Meng Zhao, and after the destruction of Su Shen, Lin Bin issued a top-secret military order, ordering Meng Zhao to kill more than 30,000 Goguryeo people in Su Shen in one fell swoop on the grounds of quelling chaos. And it seems that he also knew that Lin Bin had also given a similar order to LΓΌ Yan, but the location was changed to Youbeiping County, and the number of Goguryeo killed in the pit changed from 30,000 to 6,000. Meng Zhao didn't know what kind of hatred Lin Bin had with the Goguryeo nation, and he didn't want to know it, as long as he strictly followed the orders of the allegiance object.

The expression on Han Anguo's face was a little weird: "Your Majesty...... I don't like the repetitive Goguryeo people. He didn't finish speaking, and there was another sentence: "What deep hatred and hatred want to destroy the whole nation?" "I didn't say it.

Since the ruler thinks that a certain nation may threaten the living space of his own nation, it is necessary to uproot the nation that can threaten him, so he wields a war knife to fight, which is also the belief of the pre-Qin people.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Meng Zhao regards obeying orders as his duty as a military general......
