Chapter 329: Ningzhou Strategy (1)
Wang Shichong's heart moved, and he confirmed his judgment even more, it seems that Shi Wansui came to himself like this, presumably there are some personal matters that need to be discussed with him, since he had several discussions with Shi Wansui when he pacified Jiangnan five years ago, he has hardly dealt with Shi Wansui in the past five years, and he has never come to his own horse racing and hunting ground, obviously he doesn't look down on himself,
But today's Pingnan general, only announced two, one is Shi Wansui as the coach, and the other is himself, he did not go around to select other subordinates at this time, but came directly to himself, obviously there are extraordinary things to discuss with himself.
Wang Shichong thought about it, and walked downstairs, downstairs there was a good carriage, more than a dozen tigers with bears on their backs, dressed in civilian clothes, and servants guarding the downstairs, at a glance, they knew that the road was Shi Wansui's trilogy.
A red-faced strong man led by him walked over and gave a standard military salute to Wang Shichong: "Wang Yitong, my general has been waiting for you for a long time." Wang Shichong vaguely remembered that when Shi Wansui pacified Jiangnan, this red-faced man was a personal soldier who never left his side, and now it seems that he is also doing things in Shifu, but he is obviously the master here, but he gave Shi Wansui such a thing, and he became a guest, which really made him laugh.
Wang Shichong nodded, walked into the building, stepped up the stairs, the third floor is his study, he usually admires the moon and the scenery is on the third floor, today An Suiyu must have directly led Shi Wansui there.
As soon as Wang Shichong stepped out of the staircase on the third floor, he saw Shi Wansui sitting in his high-backed tiger-skin chair near the railing. His face sank like water, and An Suiyu stood with his head bowed to the side, carefully laughing.
When the two of them heard the sound of the stairs, they all looked over in unison, An Suiyu was obviously relieved, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "Okay, you're back." ”
Wang Shichong nodded at An Suiyu, changed his smiling face, and said to Shi Wansui: "General Shi." Congratulations. Xia Guan was about to go to the house to congratulate him. ”
Shi Wansui stood up. said coldly: "In addition to the king, you are also happy, but I heard that the emperor specially issued an edict so that the generals of the Southern Expedition do not need to be on duty in the afternoon." Go straight home. That's why I went straight to the house. But I don't know why Wang Yuanwai has not come back until now? ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xiaguan only heard the news when he was in the Ministry of War, and the news itself came a little slowly, and Xiaguan knew almost nothing about Ningzhou. Thinking that I couldn't mistake the military affairs, I found some maps and materials of Ningzhou in the treasury of the Ministry of War. Wang Huaqiang said, took out the map in his arm, and put it aside for copywriting.
Shi Wansui's face softened a lot, and nodded: "Wang Yuanwai, you are dedicated to the country and commendable loyalty, Shi admires, this time Shi came unexpectedly, also to discuss with you about this southern expedition." As he spoke, he glanced at An Suiyu standing on the side and the two servants at the door.
Wang Shichong also glanced at An Suiyu, An Suiyu bowed his head and gave a thousand blessings, moved the lotus step lightly, and took the two servants downstairs.
After the footsteps of the three disappeared, Shi Wansui said: "The stewards of ordinary officials' families are all old servants, but apart from the king, you did the opposite and used such a beautiful orchid as a steward." Shi Wansui laughed as he spoke, and there was a hint of disdain in his laughter.
Wang Shichong is not angry, he has seen a lot of Shi Wansui's arrogance back then, as a famous general in the world, Guan Long is handsome, if he doesn't have this bit of pride, he can't suppress people, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, these three, all of them, is Wang Shiji, and he is almost this virtue.
After Shi Wansui finished laughing, Wang Shichong smiled faintly: "Those who use the old housekeepers are often big families, and the old housekeepers are also heirlooms left by the previous generation to the next generation, my Wang family is from poverty and has no foundation, so I can only use a Turkic woman who is reliable when doing business to manage things, she has managed quite well in recent years, and it is also thanks to her that I can work for the court with peace of mind." ”
Shi Wansui was bored, his face was a little unbearable, and he changed the topic: "Wang Yuanwai, let's get straight to the point, what do you think about pacifying Ningzhou this time?" ”
Wang Shichong has become more and more aware of one thing with the increase of officialdom experience in recent years, that is, it is not a good thing to show his edge, Shi Wansui is a famous general in the world, and he must have studied the tactics and tactics of pacifying Ningzhou early.
So Wang Shichong said respectfully: "Xia Guan has been working in the Department of Driving of the Ministry of War, responsible for the construction of ordnance, the geography and human feelings of Ningzhou, I am really not familiar with it, soldiers, the country's major affairs, Xia Guan did not dare to open his mouth, just now I saw some maps and information in the Ministry of War, and I don't have a specific idea, I can only say that my army is barbaric, follow the story of Zhuge Wuhou, and march along its route to pacify Nanzhong, I can't be wrong." ”
Shi Wansui waved his hand proudly: "There is almost only one road into Ningzhou, which was opened up by Zhuge Liang back then, and I will lead 10,000 Guanzhong soldiers into Shu, and after meeting with the local 20,000 Shu soldiers, we will cross the Dragonfly Ridge and sweep the rebels' villages along the road.
Wang Yuanwai, when you were in Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, you were full of wisdom and whimsy, why are you so decent and uninspiring this time? ”
Wang Shichong secretly said in his heart: New ideas? Would you be happy if you really wanted to be new? It's still so hypocritical to slap your ass. But his expression became more humble: "The last time Jiangnan was pacified, in the six months that I was stationed in Jiangbei, the lower officials consulted a lot of information, and they were clear about the rebels and the situation in Jiangnan, humanities, and geography.
Moreover, the Jiangnan counterinsurgency is a quick victory, all the fighters, with the right fit, with a strange victory, the frontal battle, protracted, is not conducive to the situation at that time, the rebels are strong, our army needs a quick victory, we have to think of other ways, so the lower officials have the courage to come up with some ideas, but only for Yang Dashuai's reference.
But this time the pacification of Ningzhou, and the pacification of Jiangnan is completely different, the strength of the rebels is not strong, just relying on the high sky and the road is far away, and the heavenly army can not go deep, so it dares to pull the flag and rebel, and this time our army only dispatched 10,000 troops in the pass, plus 20,000 Shu soldiers, the number is not too much, and the consumption of the country is not large. ”
Shi Wansui Ha Luha smiled: "Wang Yuan's words are reasonable, there is no road to Ningzhou, most of them are mountain paths, and the supply of logistics is more important than frontal operations, the last time Ben General pacified Minyue, he led 2,000 people to fight for thousands of miles, and lost contact with the large army in three months, and conquered Wuzhou from the small road.
But that time it was a strange soldier to directly penetrate the hinterland of the enemy, which was not suitable for our army to act like this, and at that time, there were many guides in our army from Minyue, so as not to get lost, but this time to Ningzhou was completely different, they were all deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible, and it was necessary to be careful when taking the main road.
Outside the king, I intend to fight this time, steadily and steadily, the front army all the way to attack the village, the rear left the people and the old and weak remnants, build some villages along the way, and accumulate the grain and grass transferred from the rear as a logistics supply point, by the way to receive the wounded and sick in the front, what do you think? ”
Wang Shichong sighed secretly in his heart, this Shi Wansui is really good, this kind of military station and supply system in later generations actually made him think of it, the word famous general, well-deserved, this time he sincerely put up a big finger: "What General Shi said is extremely true, high, really high." ”
Shi Wansui's face was colorful, picked up a cup of tea at hand and took a sip, after Wang Shichong learned the tea ceremony of this era from Pei Shiju, he also made such a play in Bliss Villa, but this did not attract any celebrities, Wang Shichong simply put the whole tea cake into the cauldron to boil, and became the same as the big bowl of tea in later generations, and for Shi Wansui, it was such a cup.
