366 Yue Fei will never live up to Zhao Huan's expectations
When Yue Fei arrived in Chang'an, the main generals of the Northwest Sixth Army had already arrived at Yue Fei's marshal mansion in Chang'an to wait, after the Battle of Yanyun, Yue Fei reorganized the Northwest Sixth Army according to his military exploits, and according to actual needs, he transferred about 30,000 elite troops to form a border guard and handed them over to Lin Chong to use, and reorganized the remaining Northwest Army by himself.
Liu Qi is the chief general of the Xihe Army, Wu Jue is the chief general of the Huanqing Army, Li Yanxian is the chief general of the Jingyuan Army, Zhang Xian is the chief general of the Qin Feng Army, Wu Lan is the chief general of the Yongxing Army, and Zhe Keqiu is the chief general of the Yanyan Army.
Liu Qi made outstanding achievements, in the Battle of the Northwest and the Battle of Yanyun were very successful, before the war was the post of the commander of the first army, Yue Fei thought twice, transferred him to the chief general of the Xihe Army, led the second strongest army in the six armies in the northwest; Wu Jue was very good at defense, and was previously appointed as the chief defense officer of the Great Wall in the jurisdiction of the Northwest Army, and after the war, he was also appointed as the chief general of the Huanqing Army, and he made great contributions to defending the Great Wall with the Huanqing Army as the main force.
Li Yanxian has soared all the way to the position of the chief general of the first army with a small sesame officer in recent years, it is indeed his ability, he is very good at the art of war, good at governing the army and commanding the army, the battle of the northwest and the battle of Yanyun have sprung up, and he is known for his courage and good fighting and not afraid of death, Yue Fei appointed him as the chief general of the Jingyuan army who is the best at hard fighting.
Zhang Xian is Yue Fei's old department, and his status is still very high, but he was punished for his greed in the Northwest War, and he atonemented for his crimes in the Battle of Yanyun, so he managed to keep his position, but he was not promoted, and he still served as the chief general of Qin Fengjun.
Wu Lan has always been hiding behind his brother's back, but in the second half of the Battle of Yanyun, after Wu Ling was ordered to form the Great Wall defense line, Wu Lan was liberated, showing his strength in battle control and war control, and his ability to control the battlefield is extremely strong. As if the battlefield was just a game of military chess in his hands, Yue Fei appointed him to take over his position as the chief general of the Yongxing Army, taking over the strongest army in the Northwest Army, and following Yue Fei from Jiangnan to the northwest to the northeast.
It is the best of the few remaining generals of the Western Army in the Yao era, and he was forced to surrender to the Jin Army in another time and space, because of Yue Fei's appreciation in this time and space. As well as Yue Fei's compensatory psychology for the old-timers of the Western Army, he served as the chief general of the Yanyan Army, and when the main force of the Western Army went north to Yanyun, he led the army to guard the old nest of the Western Army, showing good military quality, defeating the sneak attacks of several plateau tribes, and he can be regarded as an old man with merit.
The generals of the Western Army were completely lost in the first and second Song-Jin Wars, and the old-timers of the Western Army represented by Chong Yao collapsed and are still active in the Western Army. That is, the brothers Liu Anshi and Liu Guangshi under Zhang Xian, as well as the two families of Yan Yanjun, Liu Zhe and the two families, can be regarded as the last representatives of the Western Army's generals.
After the Battle of the Northwest and the Battle of Yanyun, there were 130,000 remaining elite main forces of the Western Army, basically each army had an absolute main force of about 20,000 to 30,000, Yue Fei transferred 30,000 into the border guard Lin Chong's subordinates, and the remaining 100,000 were the absolute main force. The rest of the auxiliaries and the not elite reserves were Yue Fei's cautious purpose. Cultivate a reserve army ready to replenish the main force at any time.
In order to ensure that the Northwest Army has more than 100,000 mobile combat strength that can be mobilized at any time, Yue Fei adopted Yue Fan's strategy to train the successors of the Western Army with the reserve army system. You can use it anytime, anywhere.
Under such circumstances, after the Hebei Army and the Yanyun Army grew up, more and more Northwest Army returned to their original positions, and in this battle, the 1,000 elite cavalry brought back by Yue Fei was the cavalry of the original Yongxing Army. Returning to the original owner, the Northwest Army has returned to its previous heyday, the peak period of the Yao era, the era of the Yao family, the Lin family, the Yuejia army, and the era of the party people crying and shouting mother!
Yue Fei entered Chang'an City, and the officers of the Western Army greeted him collectively: "The last general greets the marshal!" ”
The imposing generals of the Western Army have completely recovered to their peak, and unlike the previous oppression, the three mountains pressed on the heads of the soldiers have been moved, and they no longer have to be supervised by the literati commanders and eunuchs, and they no longer have to be dragged down by the chaotic command of the imperial court, Yue Fei has obtained the complete right to command the troops and marches, holding the sword and talisman of the Son of Heaven, as well as the official document of the Privy Council, and the generals are docked one by one, establishing Yue Fei's complete control over this powerful army.
"Generals don't have to be polite! Follow Ben Shuai into the house to discuss matters! Yue Fei waved his cloak and walked quickly into the Shuaifu, Yue Fei was going to live here for four months in a year, this was not only Yue Fei's residence, but also the seat of the supreme command of the Western Army.
After entering the Shuai's Mansion, in the conference hall, Yue Fei respectfully put the Son of Heaven Sword on the sword frame, led the generals to salute the Son of Heaven Sword, and then said solemnly: "In this battle, the commander is ordered to command the troops, holding the Sword of the Son of Heaven, for those who do not obey orders, delay the fighter, and fall into the prestige of our army, regardless of the size of their authority, they all have the right to cut first and then play, all generals need to remember and abide by the military order, otherwise, the commander will not show mercy!" ”
The majesty of military law is the only way to suppress the arrogant generals of the Western Army, as soon as these words came out, the generals of the Western Army were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and said in unison: "I respect the military order of the commander!" ”
However, with Yue Fei's prestige in the Northwest Army, there is actually no need to do this, the Western Army is in Yue Fei's hands from decline to glory, here are all the old departments that Yue Fei pulled up, there is no reason not to obey the old leader, if it is replaced by Lin Chong or Zong Ze, it will take some effort, but Lin Chong is training on the grassland, Zong Ze is defending the Great Wall and can't get out, and he has no time.
When he came to Chang'an Mansion every year, the first thing Yue Fei had to do was to rectify military discipline, emphasize military discipline, find some people who do not abide by military discipline, and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.
Yue Fei very much agrees with what Yue Fei said, an army, if there is no strict military discipline, no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it is just a bandit, it is definitely not an army, what is an army, what is a team? The two are inseparable from a central idea, that is, rules!
At the moment, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army and his subordinate generals were standing in the meeting hall in an orderly manner, Yue Fei was very satisfied, and nodded: "It seems that when the commander is not in Chang'an, you are still relatively discipline-keeping, the commander knows that he has said it many times, but on the issue of military discipline, the commander will say it once he comes, without a military aircraft, the army is not an army, it is a bandit!" Bandits of the common people!
The soldiers of the Western Army come from the people, and they are responsible for guarding the land and defending the people, but also to defend their homes and relatives. I hope you will do it yourself! ”
The generals were solemn: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Yue Fei nodded reassuringly, and looked at the overall map of the northwest military behind him: "This marshal is here this time, and you all know why, the western thief is bold, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of our army is fighting against the Jurchens in the northeast, brazenly sneaking up on our army's military garrison, destroying dozens of my large and small camps, and killing hundreds of my soldiers. ”
Zhe Keqiu stood up with an excited face, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Dashuai!" ”
Yue Fei nodded: "But after all, there are many thieves in the west, and the defeat in the first battle is not enough to shake the fundamentals, and now the thieves are entrenched in the northwest of our army's defense area five or six miles, often sneak attacks and provokes, arrogant, the commander plays the imperial court, please lead the army to destroy it, but the imperial court still needs a lot of military supplies to fight in the northeast over the years, and there is no extra food and materials for our army to fight a war to destroy the country, and it has been planned for a long time, and there are only three months of food available!" ”
The generals were in an uproar.
"Three months? Marshal, with all due respect, it seems that three months is not enough for our army to completely eat this group of thieves who came to invade the West, they have at least 50,000 people, and I don't know if there is a follow-up army, if there is only three months of food, how can my 100,000 army exert full combat effectiveness? Han Shizhong, who was anxious, stood up and said loudly.
Han Shizhong is one of the emerging generals of the Western Army who emerged in the battle of Yanyun with his bravery and boldness, he is not very old, he is very courageous, his strength is particularly great, and his temper is not very good, he is brave and good at fighting, but he has also caused a lot of trouble, and he is known as Han Powu in the army, and now he is an important deputy general of Zhang Xian under the command of Zhang Xian of Qin Fengjun, and his status is higher.
Zhang Xian subdued Han Shizhong with his fists and sticks, his fists subdued Han Shizhong, and the sticks beat Han Shizhong, and then Han Shizhong was convinced of Zhang Xian, just listen to Zhang Xian's words, Zhang Xian is more restrained now, when Zhang Xian is not there, he is still a little domineering in the army, and Qin Fengjun loves and hates this very bad-tempered prankster.
Before Yue Fei could speak, Zhang Xian punched Han Shizhong on the head: "Presumptuous! The military plane is heavy, how can you be so presumptuous! Dashuai, the last general is not strict, please punish Dashuai! ”
Yue Fei didn't care, looking at Han Shizhong, who was very depressed but didn't dare to say a word, but inexplicably remembered himself when he was young, smiled, didn't care, and then said: "It's not that Ben Shuai is unwilling to lead 100,000 troops to fight, it's really that the imperial court needs to recuperate, and the people can't be persecuted too much, and you all know that in order to support the Battle of Northwest and the Battle of Yanyun, the people of Guanzhong donated almost all their food and money, and even went into battle themselves."
Shuzhong paid taxes for three years in advance to supply us to attack Yanyun, which led to Yanyun's great victory, and now Guanzhong Shuzhong has run out of oil and dried up, and it is the time when it is necessary to recuperate, Hebei, Henan, Jiangnan and Jiangnan were victimized by Jurchen thieves, and they were in a mess, not to mention providing taxes, just these three months of food, or from the rations of the northern border guards and the imperial court and even His Majesty! That's it, it's still a three-month ration for 30,000 people, not 100,000! ”
