Dewey was ready to fight hard this time. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
He once thought of committing suicide to apologize, but he didn't expect that Lu Yanhong still trusted him, and asked him to lead an army of 10,000 to completely exterminate the bandits, according to common sense, this is almost impossible, but it was born, such trust, Dewey could not use any words to express loyalty, and the gratitude in his heart turned into a strong combat force, pointing directly at the iron-blooded army.
This is where Lu Yanhong is smart, otherwise he would not have become the festival envoy of Shannan West Road. The sergeant goes to the war, it is not a good thing, there is a danger of dying in the war, so it is not a simple thing to inspire the fighting spirit of the sergeant, in addition to the preferential treatment on weekdays, there is also the heart of the officer, firmly grasp the officers at all levels, let them be absolutely loyal, Dewey is a fierce general, brave in battle, can not be because of a failure, encounter a complete denial, the more at such a time, give Dewey a heavy responsibility, the more can achieve unexpected results.
I have to say that Lu Yanhong's arrangement is wonderful.
It's a pity that Lu Yanhong also made a mistake, that is, he arranged a military advisor for Dewey.
Of course, Lu Yanhong, his confidant, knew about it, so before he came out, he specially found Dewey and asked Corporal Dewey to cooperate well with Sergeant Qian Shiqu, and sometimes, he had to listen to the advice of the military advisor.
But Lu Yanhong still doesn't fully believe and trust Qian Shiqu in his bones, if he really wants Qian Shiqu to hold power, he can let him serve as a supervisor, so that he can really control Dewey and avoid Dewey's hot head.
In the final analysis, Qian Shiqu was in a subordinate position, and Dewey still had the final say on the major events of the army's conquest.
Of course, Dewey can understand the meaning of this, as a military general, he respects scholars, but not on the battlefield, he thinks that scholars should not appear on the battlefield, they should do things in the court, and warriors are needed to fight on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of this understanding that it is destined that Dewey will not have a harmonious relationship with Qian Shiqu.
Before leaving, Qian Shiqu went to visit Lu Yanhong, ostensibly to ask for instructions and report thoughts, but in fact, he wanted to explore Lu Yanhong's bottom line, let him serve as this military advisor, what things to do, what kind of power he has, but unfortunately in the process of talking, Lu Yanhong did not talk too much about the conquest, let alone how much power the military division has, what kind of decisions can be made, but only emphasized that he had talked with Dewey, hoping that the two could cooperate well.
Qian Shiqu was very smart, and immediately understood the meaning, if he followed his past habits, he would definitely try his best to resign from his position as a military advisor, continue to stay in Liangzhou, and live a peaceful and steady life, but unfortunately the reality does not allow it, he has become the target of public criticism, and his colleagues can't wait to see his jokes, and they can't retreat at this time.
After coming back, Qian Shiqu was very distressed, he knew that he had taken over a hot potato, Dewey was a general, a commander, responsible for making the final decision, he did not have much power as a military division, but the responsibility was great, if the conquest failed, he and Dewey's responsibilities were exactly the same, there was no difference.
In the case of different rights and responsibilities, the consequences of a little carelessness can be very miserable.
How dare not bow his head under the eaves of people, taste such a taste, Qian Shiqu is very uncomfortable, although he said that he was about to go on the expedition, but he thought that his original decision was probably completely wrong, and he should not be this staff member at all.
Before the army came out, Qian Shiqu made one last effort, he did not take the initiative to visit Dewey, thinking to see if Dewey could take the initiative to ask for his opinion, but unfortunately this wait was in vain, until the day before the army came out, he still did not see Dewey's shadow, and in desperation, Qian Shiqu could only take the initiative to visit Dewey.
The greetings between the two are quite ironic, about to be conquered, between the commander and the military advisor, it should be about how to conquer, including the overall deployment, how the army will attack, etc., but unfortunately Dewey did not mention these things, but only asked Qian Shiqu to put forward more opinions to help the army triumph.
Liangzhou is only more than 400 miles away from Wuling County, 10,000 troops are at most four days, you can arrive, if you hurry up the march, or even two days can arrive, when you arrive at Wuling County, it is the beginning of the fight, which also means that the communication between the commander and the sergeant should be before the army comes out.
Qian Shiqu, who was getting more and more depressed, finally couldn't help it, and asked about the conquest of the army, but he didn't expect Dewey to deal with it in a few words, saying that all the arrangements were in place, and if it was needed, he would naturally consult the military advisor.
Qian Shiqu, who was stunned, only understood at this time that his military adviser was a decoration, and he had planned a good plan, and all the plans and deployments had nothing to do with him, a sergeant, but in the process of conquest, if he really encountered any trouble, he would naturally ask for the opinion of the military advisor, and then the military advisor would have to show his ability.
To put it mildly, the military advisor is like a firefighting captain at a critical moment.
Qian Shiqu, who understood it, found Dewey again at night, this time he said very clearly, he was a military advisor appointed by Lu Gong, and he must understand all the deployments and plans of the army, so that he can put forward opinions and build yì in a targeted manner, if he doesn't understand anything, he is deaf and blind and can put forward what to build, and when the army really encounters trouble, it will be too late to say anything at that time.
The reason why Qian Shiqu made up his mind was not to plan well, but to perform his duties as much as possible, not to leave a handle, and to give Lu Yanhong an explanation, of course, there are various ways to operate, in case there is a huge contradiction with Dewey, he can also write a letter directly to Lu Yanhong to explain the reason.
It was at this time that the contradiction exploded.
Dewey refused to reveal any details of the deployment, and when he had nothing to say, he actually said that it was a secret and could not be leaked, otherwise it would be detrimental to the conquest of the army, and as the commander, he was responsible for the lives of 10,000 soldiers.
Qian Shiqu, who was angry and pale, was also unceremoniously, he couldn't imagine that he, a military advisor, was an outsider at all, not only could not be trusted by others, but also became the object of defense, isn't this a big joke in the world.
Qian Shiqu's attitude was very tough, and he clearly told Dewey that he was a military advisor and had the right to know the deployment and actions of the army, if the commander did not trust the military advisor, or thought that he did not need a military advisor, he could tell Lu Gong directly, as long as Lu made his words clear, he would not have to do it as a military advisor.
Of course, Dewey will not report to Lu Yanhong, he just wants to report immediately, and there is no chance, Lu Yanhong has already left Liangzhou with an army of 15,000 and went to Xiangyang, and the army has not yet started the expedition, so he will report such a frustrating thing to Lu Yanhong, isn't this a bad luck, Dewey is not so stupid.
Inform Qian Shiqu of all the deployments and actions of the army, Dewey will never do it, this is not that Dewey suspected that Qian Shiqu would leak the operational deployment, the fundamental reason is that Qian Shiqu has never participated in the conquest, and is not familiar with the affairs of the army at all, and the scholarly spirit will hinder the actions of the army.
In the end, Dewey did not inform Qian Shiqu of the relevant deployment, but only said that after the army came out, the two discussed on the march.
Qian Shiqu could not insist, and could only agree to Dewey's suggestion.
The army left Liangzhou and headed for Bazhou.
Qian Shiqu didn't care about the self-esteem of any scholar, took the initiative to find Dewey, put forward his own opinions, he thought that this expedition, need to be cautious, after all, the iron-blooded army has a certain combat effectiveness, plus occupy Wuling County and Qingyuan County, there is a certain source of grain and grass, it is even more difficult to deal with, and the iron-blooded army has won two battles, morale is booming, the best way is to avoid its edge, do not start a fight for the time being, adopt siege tactics, use the absolute advantage of troops, besiege the iron-blooded army.
Qian Shiqu proposed such a construction, or seriously thought about it, the iron-blooded army is a bandit, occupying the county, the scope of activities is narrowed, basically there is no advantage of flexibility and mobility, as long as the army surrounds Wuling County, cut off a qiē inside and outside the city, the time is a little longer, the iron-blooded army can not support, at that time to attack, naturally can be taken in one fell swoop.
Proposing such tactics, Qian Shiqu even understood the characteristics of Wang Xianzhi's battle with Huang Chao, and he thought that there was no difference between the Iron Blood Army and Huang Chao, it was nothing more than a shot to change a place, and he would be satisfied with plundering money.
For Qian Shiqu's construction, Dewey scoffed, in fact, Qian Shiqu's construction of yì, there is a reasonable place, but because of prejudice, Dewey just can't listen to Qian Shiqu's construction, he immediately refuted Qian Shiqu, besieged Wuling County for a long time, on the surface, it is a very good construction, foolproof, but if the food and grass of the iron-blooded army is sufficient, people can completely wait for work, 10,000 troops besiege Wuling County, for a long time, the consumption is huge, where is there so much money and food support, and there is also Qingyuan CountyIf it is divided into troops to besiege, the troops are obviously insufficient, and there is the possibility of being broken by each other, so this kind of construction is the spirit of the scholarly business, and it is not feasible at all.
Dewey's rebuttal made Qian Shiqu's face blush and white for a while, he really didn't think about the problem of his own consumption.
It's no wonder that Qian Shiqu, after all, it is the first time to participate in the conquest, and it is very good to be able to propose such a construction.
At this time, although Dewey did not explicitly say how to conquer, he had already revealed the general deployment in his words, that is, to use the absolute superiority in troops, take a direct attack, take Wuling County in one fell swoop, and then attack Qingyuan County, first let the Iron Blood Army have no foothold, and then chase the Iron Blood Army to the death, the purpose is to completely exterminate the Iron Blood Army.
