Chapter 353: Deployment
Dingzhou's strategic policy is in the early stage of the Central Plains War, never intervene in it, but to make every effort to accumulate internal strength, develop Dingzhou, Fu, grassland and the economy and people's livelihood of the just arrived state, recuperate, recuperate, recuperate, but it is also conceivable that once Dingzhou is launched, or the development of the current situation exceeds the control of Dingzhou and forces Dingzhou to enter in advance, it is very likely to face two fronts of combat, one is the war against the Lu clan in the north, if the Lu clan has a strong momentum, and the Zeng clan is outside of the gold and jade, defeated in it, unable to resist, and the army is defeated like a mountain. Then Dingzhou will inevitably send troops in advance. Second, King Ning's momentum is flourishing, and the Xiao family is retreating, which will also cause Dingzhou to have to enter in advance.
In order to cope with possible unexpected situations, Dingzhou made a series of military adjustments in the following time. The total number of troops in Dingzhou is now about 100,000. Guanwai Guanxing Longxi Duhufu Hengdao Battalion plus Jingdong belongs to more than 10,000 people, Dongdu Hufu Yang Yidao Xuanfeng Battalion and 5,000 cavalry of the Red Department, more than 30,000 people in the Lu Division, more than 20,000 people in the Qi Nian Division, more than 20,000 people in the Mountain Moving Division, plus two battalions of cavalry in the Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion, and the Panshi Battalion of Feng Guo who has been stationed in Dingzhou City. And now the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry of Nokia Be, which is nominally under the rule of Dingzhou, cannot be used with confidence, and there is also a team of more than 10,000 people left in the elite of the Red Department in Fusen's hands.
Li Qing's first step was to set up a fourth division-level team, and reorganized the Changsheng Battalion, the Whirlwind Battalion and the two infantry battalions transferred from the Qi Nian Division with 20,000 people into the Fourth Division's Changsheng Division, with Jiang Kui as the main general, and transferred two infantry battalions and a cavalry battalion from Lu Dalin's department to merge into the Qi Nian Division, so that Lu Dalin's Lu Division shrank by half, Li Qing directly assigned more than 10,000 elites of the Red Department Fusen to Lu Dalin's command, and let Fu Sen enter the Lu Division as Lu Dalin's deputy, with Lu Dabing's lubricant, plus Lu Dalin's prestige, It is not a problem to suppress Fusen and effectively integrate this Red Division cavalry.
The mountain moving division of the mountain wind is stationed in Fuzhou, the 30,000 soldiers of the west crossing have gone through the war, and now there are more than 20,000 people left alive, but there is no denying that these 20,000 people are already the division of a hundred battles, in this army reorganization, the mountain wind department not only did not move a person, but has been greatly strengthened, Li Qing gave the mountain wind two battalions of recruits, and the 10,000 barbarian elites of Nokia were also assigned to the mountain wind command, and for a while, the soldiers of the mountain moving division reached more than 40,000 people, It became the largest unit in Li Qing's group, and it was stationed in Fuzhou, and it was self-evident that the direction of the troops was self-explanatory.
Feng Guo has not been on the battlefield since Li Qing's group occupied Dingzhou, and has always stayed in the base camp Dingzhou City, which also gives him no more opportunities to make contributions, but the important surname of Dingzhou City is self-explanatory, so that Li Qing can rest assured that the safety of Dingzhou City will be handed over to him, which itself shows Li Qing's absolute trust in him, this time Dingzhou won a big victory, and each general has a reward, in fact, in Dingzhou, in the past, except for Lu Dalin is deputy general grade, the rest of the generals include Guoshan Feng, Wang Qinian, etc. are all at the level of generals, and at this time, Their subordinates, the battalion-level commanders are also the rank of general, Da Chu is now in name only, Li Qing was rewarded after the war, and he will cross the mountain in one go, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, Feng Guo, Guan Xinglong, Yang Yidao and others were all promoted to the rank of deputy general, and Lu Dalin went one step further and became General Zhenwei, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Luoyang's reaction, but later formed an alliance with the Xiao family, so he made a look, wrote a letter and sent it to Luoyang, and confirmed it from the clear meaning.
Feng Guo not only served as the garrison of Dingzhou City, but also confirmed that he would also become the deputy chief training officer of the lieutenant training school that was about to be established in Dingzhou City, and the chief training officer was Li Qing, of course, Li Qing was just a name, and the specific work would be completed by Feng Guo, so that Feng Guo trained officers but did not command these officers, and these officers had a teacher-student friendship with Feng Guo but served under other generals at all levels. In this way, Li Qing will curb the expansion of the power of his generals to the greatest extent, so that these armies will eventually be in his hands and will not become the private property of a certain general at any time.
How did the Great Chu collapse, Li Qingke could see it clearly, once someone can completely master a powerful army, it will be the beginning of the trouble, even if he has no plans, but what about his successor? This possibility must be eliminated at the root.
"Generals, in the next two to three years, our task is to prepare for battle, and it may be a two-front battle, but there is no doubt that our primary combat target is the Northern Lu Clan. Jiang Kui! Li Qingdao.
Jiang Kuihuo stood up: "Handsome! ”
"Your troops have gathered the most combat-effective elites of my Dingzhou army, stationed in Luofeng and Changqi respectively, do you know the meaning?"
"The subordinates understand that once the time is ripe, we will stab the heart of Luzhou like a sharp blade, enter the land of Youyan in the north in one fell swoop, completely defeat the Lu clan, and occupy the north."
Li Qing said with a smile: "Hundred-legged insects, death is not stiff, even if the Lu clan suffers a major setback, it is not that your 20,000 people can be wiped out, what I want is that in the past two or three years, while the elite troops are exerting the horses, you must figure out the terrain and terrain of the north, mountains and rivers, and formulate different combat plans accordingly, once the war starts, you must disrupt all the deployments of the Lu clan, and behind you, the main force of the Qi Nian Division and the Dingzhou of the Lu Division will immediately march in, you are the pioneer, they are the main force to destroy the Lu clan!" ”
"I see, Dashuai!" Jiang Kui nodded.
"For these things, you can coordinate and cooperate with the Military Intelligence Department, and if you can't catch it and you don't have enough manpower, you can also ask the Statistics and Survey Department for help and deploy manpower!" Li Qingdao.
Mingyan and Qingfeng said at the same time: "You must cooperate with General Jiang!" ”
Li Qing turned his head to look at the mountain wind, "General Guo's troops will be stationed in Fuzhou, and the troops will be stationed at the border with Xiangzhou, and with your 40,000 troops going there, King Ning will at least have to belong to 40,000 or 50,000 troops to dare to rest assured, but General Guo, where I let you go, I don't let you pick quarrels and provoke troubles and take the lead in provoking friction." ”
Guo Shanfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, where is the last general, that is, it is just training and training, and there will never be a conflict with the other party, of course, if the other party's commander is willing, I can even have a friendly exchange with them on the management and training of the army." ”
The playful answer made the tense military meeting a little easier, and Li Qing also laughed: "Don't be too careless, be careful that the other party takes advantage of your unpreparedness and knocks you!" ”
Guo Feng said: "Dashuai, the last general turned out to be a bandit, like this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, this is what I am best at, if the other party is not interesting enough, I don't mind communicating with him about it." ”
"No matter what you do, you must be in the south, I don't want to have a large-scale conflict with King Ning, wouldn't this make Xiao Haoran secretly laugh off his big teeth, anyway, our alliance with the Xiao clan is only to contain part of King Ning's army for him, we can do this, it's enough." Li Qingdao.
"General No!" Li Qing looked at Nokia.
This is the first time for Nokia to participate in such a high-level military meeting in Dingzhou, and he has always been a little uneasy, as if he had a thorn in his body, and he always felt that the eyes of the generals in Dingzhou were strange when they looked at him. Suddenly, when he heard Li Qing calling him, he couldn't help but be startled, Huo Di stood up, "The last general!" The voice was so loud that all the generals looked at him strangely.
Li Qing pressed down with his right hand, "General Nuo, please take a seat, it's the first time to participate in our military conference, General Nuo is a little unaccustomed!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Nokia owed.
"General Nuo, your 10,000 cavalry has been merged into the mountain moving division that has passed the mountain wind, and this time to Fuzhou, the battle is not won for the time being, but you must pay attention to the coordination and training with the general's troops, to be honest, your grassland army is indeed very good at field battles, but it is still far from the tactics of foot and cavalry cooperation, and cavalry to break the foot, and we will set foot on the battlefield of the Central Plains in the future, where the army is mainly foot soldiers, well-equipped and well-trained, if you do not improve on this, you will suffer in the future." Li Qing was very sincere to Noqia.
"Thank you for the reminder, the last general must have obeyed the general's command and strengthened his training!" Nokia said loudly.
"Hmm!" Li Qing nodded, "How are your clansmen doing in the upper forest?" Is there a shortage of food and common utensils allocated to them in Dingzhou? Did the local officials oppress them? ”
Nokia hesitated for a moment, "Dashuai, the grain and land have been in the hands of the people, and the officials are also very friendly, but, but..."
"Just say what?" Li Qingdao.
"Dashuai, even among the people, there have been many frictions between our people and the locals, and the two sides are not very harmonious!"
Li Qing understands that in the official face, his orders can be well implemented, but for hundreds of years, the hatred between the border people and the barbarians in Dingzhou is deep-rooted, and it is difficult to let go of these hatreds because of an order from the government, to deter these locals, let these locals understand that their will will will never waver. The barbarians have been conquered, the next thing to do is to assimilate them, digest them, to do this, first of all, to give them the same status, the same dignity, in Dingzhou, there must be no ethnic conflict.
"I know about this matter, I will send a special document to Luo Daoming on this matter, if there is a conflict in the future, don't solve it privately, let alone swallow your anger, go directly to the yamen to complain! Now that your clan is also my Dingzhou people, you have to go to the yamen to theorize confidently! Li Qingdao.
Nokia smiled bitterly: "The clansmen are afraid that it will be useless after going to the yamen, and there will be another twist and turn, so most of them choose to swallow their anger." "After the barbarians moved inward, most of them felt that people were under the roof and had to bow their heads, if they chose to sue the officials, it is likely that these Dingzhou officials were biased towards the locals, and after appealing to those of their own tribe who were highly respected, they got a warning to swallow their anger, and most of these things were gone.
Li Qing sneered: "Tell your people, if there is such a thing again, boldly go to the yamen to sue, I want to see if those officials dare to handle it impartially?" Qingfeng, you pay attention to this matter! ”
"Yes!" Qingfeng nodded. "I'll arrange for the Investigation Division branch in the forest to investigate this matter!"
"Thank you, thank you, Director Qingfeng!" Nokia hugged his fists and thanked him.
