Chapter 108: Next Goal
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The role played by Yan Fu was beyond Li Rupei's expectations, and Gao Chibang did not expect it.
When the intelligence network was first formed, Li Rupei was strictly confidential, which involved the safety of Yan Fu and others, if there were many people who knew about this matter, and accidentally leaked something, Yan Fu and others would encounter a catastrophe, I am afraid that there was no chance of saving, so only Gao Chibang knew about this matter, as for how to do the intelligence work, Li Rupei only put forward a principled opinion, and the actual operation was completely responsible for Yan Fu, and in this intelligence system, all adopted a single-line contact method. The pros and cons of this are very obvious, the exposure of a certain place will not affect the whole, but the loss of a certain intelligence point means the loss of a certain piece of news, and it will be completely restarted later.
Engaging in intelligence work, the cost is huge, especially as an iron-blooded army, it has not yet been universally recognized, everything has to be done secretly, if you want to spy on intelligence, you must need a lot of money, the so-called money can make the ghost grind, Li Rupei was not stingy at all in this regard, and took out five thousand taels of gold in one go, all of which were handed over to Yan Fu.
Gao Chibang has some opinions on Li Rupei's decision, the military salary of the iron-blooded army is very valuable, and it may face difficulties at any time, although it occupies Bazhou and Pengzhou and other places, but the iron-blooded army's military salary still has no reliable source, this is also because Li Rupei's approach is completely different, not to exploit the people, the first thing that comes to mind is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, from the actual situation in Bazhou and Pengzhou, it is impossible for the people here to support the expenses of the iron-blooded army.
Gao Chibang's understanding is very realistic, first of all, to ensure the cost of the Iron Army, although in this process, it is possible to damage the interests of the people, it is possible to monopolize the salt and iron tax, and it is even possible to make the people displaced and have no fixed residence, but to ensure the cost of the Iron Army, is to preserve the strength, as long as the strength is preserved, many things can be recovered.
It's a pity that Li Rupei's understanding is different, no matter how big the crisis is, we must first ensure that the people can survive.
Because the order of doing things is different, the contradiction in this will inevitably be reflected.
Li Rupei is not living in a dream, as a traverser, the importance of money, he is in the first place, but the matter of killing chickens and eggs, he will never do, maybe saying this, it is possible to get through temporary difficulties, but the sequelae left, I don't know how long it will take to solve, for the army and even the regime, credit is always the first.
The information provided by Yan Fu is, to a certain extent, to exacerbate the contradictions that already exist.
Bazhou Prefecture Wing Room.
Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, Zhao Laibao, Qian Shiqu, Xie Yuxin and others gathered here, everyone was stern, Yu Chenghui and Tan Mingxiao did not participate in this discussion, there are too many things to work in Bazhou and Pengzhou, and the matter of the Iron and Blood Army, don't involve the two of them for the time being, this is also a decision made by Li Rupei after thinking about it carefully.
It is the first time that Xie Yuxin has participated in such an important discussion, and in Li Rupei's view, Mr. Xie and Xie Yuxin are the key objects to rely on in the future.
"Judging from the information obtained by Yan Fu, the armies of Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road are ready to work together to deal with the iron-blooded army, the real test has come, Liu Di arrived in Liangzhou, in fact, he represents Liu Jurong, plus Ma Tengyun and Liu Ziheng are also in Liangzhou, what needs to be discussed between them should be said to be very clear."
Li Rupei stood up and looked at everyone.
"Judging from the superficial situation, the iron-blooded army needs to deal with the army of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, the two armies have truly united, and the iron-blooded army will encounter great challenges and dangers, to put it mildly, the future is pessimistic, but the actual situation is not so, and it is unlikely that the two sides will really unite."
"Liu Jurong is cunning and cunning, he will not be fooled, he sent Liu Di to Liangzhou, in fact, he has found a way out, from the perspective of the attitude of the imperial court, the influence of the iron-blooded army is far from being able to compare with Huangchao, so it is impossible for the imperial court to concentrate troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress, what Tian Lingzi can think of is to ask the armies of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road to jointly encircle and suppress, I am afraid that Tian Lingzi has no confidence, thinking that the two armies can really fight together, this is the opportunity of the iron-blooded army."
After Li Rupei said this, he walked to the map.
"A certain has long said that the iron-blooded army must have a foothold, Bazhou and Pengzhou are obviously not able to meet such needs, in the past, a certain once thought that to occupy Shannan West Road, there will be enough space for exhibition, but now the meaning of a certain has changed, there is a chance to occupy Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, that is, the entire Shannan Road, for the Iron Army, there is a more open and favorable exhibition environment."
Everyone was stunned, they never imagined that Li Rupei would say such words, it was too difficult to take down Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road in one go, it was like ascending to the sky, not to mention whether the Iron Blood Army had such strength, even if it was to achieve such a goal, the sacrifice that needed to be paid might be too great, and it was not something that the Iron Blood Army could bear.
The silence and consternation of everyone were all expected by Li Rupei.
"Everyone will be surprised if they know that they put forward such an idea, if they hadn't received the information provided by Yan Fu, they wouldn't have been so ambitious, the reason why they have such an idea is because Ma Tengyun will help the Iron Army."
When Li Rupei said this, everyone was even more surprised.
"If Liu Jurong really wants to follow Ma Tengyun's arrangement and unite with Lu Yanhong to fight against the Iron Army, he will definitely come to Liangzhou in person, you should remember very well that last year, Huangchao was defeated in Jingmen, and Lu Yanhong personally led the army to reinforcements, but unfortunately Liu Jurong did not rush to Liangzhou in person and sent Liu Di to Liangzhou, the difference is very big, at least it shows that Liu Jurong will not do his best to participate in the battle."
"Lu Yanhong has suffered several fiascos, and he already has a certain fear in his heart, and he wants someone to come to reinforce, and he also wants to take this opportunity to recuperate, at least to preserve his strength, so he predicts that Lu Yanhong will be bitter, and he hopes that Liu Jurong of Shannan Dongdao can take on the main combat mission."
"Ma Tengyun coordinates in the middle, and it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of uniting the two armies, in fact, Ma Tengyun changed his thinking and delineated specific combat tasks, for example, Lu Yanhong is responsible for attacking Bazhou, and Liu Jurong is responsible for attacking Pengzhou, and it is possible to achieve the goal, but unfortunately Ma Tengyun can't do this."
"Liu Jurong and Lu Yanhong jointly attacked, on the surface, it seems that the pressure of the iron-blooded army has increased, and the danger is coming soon, but in fact, I thought that the opportunity had come."
"As expected, between Lu Yanhong and Liu Jurong, because of the practical interests, there will inevitably be a huge contradiction, it is impossible to form a joint combat situation, Ma Tengyun, who is coordinated in the center, will also touch the ashes of the nose, and the real purpose of the two sides cannot be achieved, you think about it, in such a situation, what will Tian Lingzi, who is in power, think, his dignity has been provoked, I am afraid that he will think about adjusting the festival of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road."
In fact, at that time, Liu Jurong was worried about being calculated by the imperial court, so he prevented Cao Quanyang from taking advantage of the victory to pursue, giving Huang Chao a chance to survive, these situations, the court knew well, just because Liu Jurong won the battle, it was not easy to pursue, but also to implement the reward, this kind of resentment has existed, and now the two sides are fighting together, Liu Jurong and Lu Yanhong have their own thoughts, and they cannot form a real joint attitude, As Tian Lingzi, who is in power, where will he continue to connive, I am afraid that he will try his best to adjust the candidates for the festival. ”
"Once Shannan Dongdao Jiedu adjusts the candidates, it will be the best chance for the Iron Army."
"The iron-blooded army can't always stay in Bazhou and Pengzhou, the terrain here is not very open, and the future exhibition will be affected, so it is the most important thing to seize the opportunity to expand its influence and occupy more territory."
"Ma Tengyun can't reconcile the contradiction between Liu Jurong and Lu Yanhong, this contradiction will explode sooner or later, when Ma Tengyun has no face, it will be Tian Lingzi who will lose his ugliness, think about it, will Tian Lingzi let such a situation occur, the real shame, the loss of face is still a small matter, and the festival in other places does not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, which is a big deal."
Li Rupei stood in front of the map, and the bamboo whip in his hand always pointed to two places, Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, in fact, these two places, in the early Tang Dynasty, were one place.
Everyone listened very carefully, and everyone was convinced by the many analyses and judgments made by Li Rupei, and after going through so much, every time Li Rupei analyzed, he was proved by facts.
Only Xie Yuxin was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had heard such an analysis, and he didn't dare to imagine that Li Rupei was so young, he could actually see far away, and he could analyze the general trend of the imperial court.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Iron Blood Army must be well prepared, at this critical time, don't be in a hurry, although the table is more low-key, let Lu Yanhong and Liu Jurong argue, let them fight for their own interests, the generals at all levels of the Iron Blood Army must be clear about one requirement, that is, never take the initiative to attack, no matter how aggressive the other party is, just block their attack......"
After Li Rupei finished speaking, a heated discussion began, this kind of discussion involves specific tactics, and there is no need to discuss the major policies, but everyone understands that Li Lang has made clear the grand goal, maybe it won't take long for this goal to be achieved, and when the time comes, the entire Tang Dynasty will be shaken, and a terrifying iron-blooded army will stand majestically.
