327. Methodical
More than ten days later, Li Jing and the officers and men of the Chinese army arrived late. And Jingwen didn't dare to pursue without authorization before, because Li Jing had said before Jingwen set off that if he attacked Dingxiang City, he should not enter the Turkic territory lightly, because the grassland is the home of the Turks, so you must be careful. And Li Jing seemed to have known for a long time that it might be difficult to catch Jieli this time, so he gave such an order in advance. After Li Jing arrived, he was received by Feng Yong, the director of the Military Affairs Department, Feng Yong appeased Li Jing and asked the General Affairs Office and the Service Office to organize the people, set up a camp for the Chinese army, and prepare for them to rest.
"You don't bother the people too much, do you?" Li Jing asked.
Feng Yong said: "General Li Jing, the people here have been oppressed by the Turks for too long, and now our Wang Shi can recover Dingxiang City, and the people are very supportive. So, now that we've organized a little bit, they're going to come out and help. Therefore, it does not disturb the people, and the people have no opinions. ”
"That's good! This time, you didn't catch Jieli, did you? Li Jing asked.
Feng Yong was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't catch it, let this old deflated calf run away!" I'm afraid, the next battle will not be so easy. ”
"Of course, I've had a guess for a long time. Jieli is an old thing, we haven't been dealing with him for a year and a half. This old deflated calf is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also extremely cunning. Even if the old man goes out in person, he is not sure that he can really catch him, let alone you? Therefore, it is not surprising that he ran away with the old man, and you don't have to worry too much. This was expected by the old man, so you are not at fault. You were able to recover this Dingxiang city and knock out the last wedge of the Turks in our homeland in China, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. Li Jing said.
Feng Yong was a little ashamed, Li Jing was clearly comforting them. This time, Jingwen and the others came here, and the screaming was earth-shattering, but they actually lived in a sandwich meal, which made Feng Yong a little speechless. And the plan was formulated by Feng Yong, the director of military affairs. But I didn't find out that there were tunnels in the city. If the staff officers of the Military Intelligence Section at that time had been able to scout more carefully, it would not necessarily have been able to let Jieli escape. However, this is also the reason for the lack of experience of these staff officers, because this is their first time in actual combat, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Although the deduction is very powerful, but once it comes to actual combat, there are always mistakes in this and that. Even more than a thousand years later, when those army staff officers conducted deductions, weren't they full of mistakes? There is no perfect battle plan in this world, only the ability to minimize vulnerabilities as much as possible. However, there is absolutely no way to completely avoid loopholes, and there is no seamless cooking plan.
"What about your festival envoy Jingwen?" Li Jing asked.
"Jieshuai asked Miss Dugu beside Empress Xiao to take him around, saying that it was to be able to deal with Dingxiang City well, so he asked Miss Dugu Xin to take him around the neighborhood." Feng Yong said a little weirdly.
When Li Jing heard this, he immediately said: "Jingwen, this kid, is not good at commanding battles, but this wind. Inside the flow array, there is a pioneer! ”
Feng Yong blushed for his leader, because Li Jing explained Jingwen's character thoroughly. The reason why Jingwen asked Duguxin to take him around to see. Don't you just want to be able to run this beautiful bodyguard? This beautiful bodyguard with strong martial arts skills is so superb that no number of people have a chance if they want it. Now that Jingwen has this opportunity, he naturally has to seize it.
As for Empress Xiao. What can you think? They are all a group of people who have lost their country, where is there much to say? And Empress Xiao also hopes to be able to pass Guò Duguxin, so that Jingwen can treat them well, and when the time comes, she can help them intercede with the Tang Emperor. I hope to be able to survive in peace. And Duguxin is also twenty-two years old, and it is very difficult to find a partner in this era, since Jingwen can like her. That's not bad to push the boat down the river. What's more, Jingwen was only nineteen years old, and he became the commander of a strong army, so he was like an upstart in the Tang Dynasty, and Duguxin was not a grievance to be Jingwen's woman. So, it's a good thing with both public and private.
Li Jing then asked Feng Yong: "Your boss is busy dating beautiful women, how can you still maintain your operation?" I saw it just now, and your Snow Shame Army has done a very good job in all its tasks, and there has been no chaos. The coach is not here, and you are not in the slightest fluster, which is very rare! ”
"General Li, we have always been so methodical. Actually, to put it mildly, our manager is not very important. Even, without this manager, our Snow Shame Army would still be able to function. The marshal is more of a spiritual leader, and perhaps even only in name. His main job is to adjudicate on important matters, mainly things that we can't decide. As for the situation that the marshal is not there, the directors of our three divisions can vote on some things by themselves, and the minority obeys the majority, so that they can decide instead of the marshal. Of course, in the current situation, if the marshal finds out that we have made any mistakes, he can also directly order a stop. And the marshal gave us this method, which is called collective leadership. Feng Yong introduced.
"Collective leadership, even if there is no one missing, won't there be chaos?" Li Jing asked.
Feng Yong explained: "Yes! Even if we lose someone, we won't be chaotic when we fight. If something goes wrong with the marshal, then I, the chief of military affairs, will temporarily take the position of marshal. And if I have a problem again, it will be the general director, and finally the service director. We have already arranged the order of succession. Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from assassinating, the commanders of our four divisions all came to rest separately, the commander lived in the tent, and the others were distributed in a random tent in the barracks, there was no fixed place, and they would only gather during meetings. ”
"Awesome, no wonder you're all in an orderly manner. It turns out that you have all deduced all kinds of situations in advance, and you are not afraid if you are prepared. And you, you, are simply using the methods of Legalism to manage the army, so that in most cases, the army will not be chaotic. Li Jing said.
Li Jing finally understood the essence of Jingwen's leading troops, that is, to make a plan in advance, so that he would be prepared. And with all kinds of staff officers, there will be no confusion when there is almost any problem. This is something that no other army can match, because other armies are too dependent on their commanders. If the boss is finished, the whole army will collapse. (To be continued......)
