Chapter 697: Ambitious

Because, the three stages proposed by Luo Yangxing can almost be called the same as the protracted war proposed by the great men of later generations.

Therefore, Wei Zheng gave a very positive answer without thinking about it......

At this moment, Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff, and Zhou Shuyuan, the military advisor, had already gathered in front of him.

At this moment, what Wei Zheng needed to discuss and make a decision was which army to send to reinforce the northwest, so that he could reduce the losses in the first stage to the lowest level in the second stage......

Military advisor Zhou Shuyuan, although he is not from a military background. However, following Wei Zheng for a long time still cultivated his very keen sense of smell and crisis.

After reading the information, Zhou Shuyuan was keenly aware that the Tiger and Leopard Army of Jin and his party had to face a new war just after the end.

Since there is a war, the Haw Par Army will send troops...... And which main force to dispatch is a very sophisticated question.

In the case that the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army far exceeds that of the surrounding troops, battle means victory, victory means war merit, and battle merit means promotion and promotion......

As a soldier, no matter who you are, you are eager to fight, you are eager for military merit, and you are eager to be promoted.

Therefore, once Wei Zheng releases the news that he is about to send troops to fight, several army commanders will definitely fight to the death because of this, and want to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops from Wei Zheng.

Of course, in the face of this news, Zhou Shuyuan's heart was also alive again.

The Fifth Army of the Haw Par Army, which has a large amount of its own forces, although it has won many battles in Houjin, brought back a large number of captures.

But. The exploits of this military operation. Not a lot.

The reason is simple. The main enemy of the Fifth Army in Houjin was not the Tartar iron cavalry, but the ordinary herdsmen of Houjin.

A well-equipped and well-trained army to deal with a band of herdsmen who can't even be called a rabble......

Defeated, it's because I didn't train properly...... Victory, that's rightfully so......

Therefore, with Zhou Shuyuan's understanding of Wei Zheng, this time he attacked Houjin's Fifth Army. Very few people will be promoted because of their military exploits.

Of course, they won't get nothing. A large part of the finances, cattle, sheep and livestock looted back from Houjin will be rewarded to everyone......

Therefore, those officers of the Fifth Army who have taken refuge in themselves, even if they have their own backstage to help them speak, it is difficult to get promoted through this sortie.

And if he wants to further expand his sphere of influence in the army, the only way is to let these officers who have defected to him be promoted. Then, step by step, they were transferred to several other field armies. Control zhì more troops......

And this goes back to the sentence just now...... To get promoted in the Haw Par Army. In addition to the very long time to boil the qualifications, mixed time...... There is only one military merit left.

Tong guò a large number of military exploits and was promoted......

In the great northwest where riots have taken place, hundreds of thousands of rebels, although they are not the opponents of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

However, compared with the ordinary herdsmen of Houjin, they can still be called soldiers after all, and they are also soldiers with weapons in hand.

No matter how weak their combat effectiveness is, destroying them means military merit for the Haw Par Army......

If the Fifth Army can go to the northwest and quell the rebellion in the northwest, take the three northwestern provinces......

With these exploits, not to mention much, the division commander was promoted to deputy army commander, the regiment commander was promoted to division commander, and the battalion commander was promoted to regiment commander...... No problem at all.

At that time, the officers of the Fifth Army who have defected to themselves will have four or five division commanders and more than ten regiment commanders......

The Fifth Army, which only had three divisions, could not accommodate so many officers, and there was only one way out, and that was to transfer ......

At that time, his own forces in the army will be spread over every main army.

Of course, these are all fictions......

The most tempting thing is that once one's goal is achieved, the entire Haw Par Army will have at least four divisions of troops that will directly fall into his hands and be under his control......

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuyuan immediately made a decision in his heart......

There is no time to lose...... In any case, we must seize this opportunity and get the prince to agree to transfer the Fifth Army to the battlefield.

At this time, the information sent by Luo Yangxing had already been circulated in everyone's hands.

Just when everyone was shocked by this sudden news, Wei Zheng said directly: "This king has decided to immediately transfer troops to reinforce the northwest...... Now, I call you here for two purposes......"

"First, how many troops should be transferred to reinforce the northwest...... Second, which troops will be transferred to reinforce the northwest, and who will be the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements......"

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Shuyuan, who had already made a decision in his heart, rushed to answer......

"Lord Wang, although there are a lot of rebels in the northwest...... But after all, it's a rabble...... Together with the forces we have deployed in the northwest, there is already a corps ...... Therefore, the reinforcement of the northwest should not be too many, and it is better for a field army to ......"

did not agree with Wei Zheng, who made me suspicious of what Zhou Shuyuan did, from the bottom of my heart.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Wei Zheng gave an affirmative answer and asked in passing......

"Strategist, do you think that which army will be sent to the battlefield can solve the northwest riots in the shortest possible time...... As the old saying goes, soldiers are fast, and we must hurry......"

Facing Wei Zheng's gaze that quickly looked at him, a heartfelt surprise smile quickly flashed across Wei Zheng's face

Then, pretending to have a contemplative expression, he replied to Wei Zheng......

"Lord Wang, I think that the Fifth Army, which has just retreated from Houjin, is the best choice......

As soon as the words fell, some objections reached Wei Zheng's ears......

"Didn't the Fifth Army just withdraw...... Wouldn't it be unbearable to go back to the battlefield so soon......"

"Yes, there are only 15,000 people left in the entire Fifth Army, and the losses have not been replenished, so they rushed to the battlefield, will there be any accidents......"

Just when everyone opened their mouths to deny, only two people didn't speak......

Sun Chengzong, commander of the Fifth Army, as the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army, only thinks about the feasibility of Zhou Shuyuan's idea from a military point of view......

Luo Yangxing, director of the Department of Internal Defense, frowned, thinking about why Zhou Shuyuan kept staring at the Fifth Army.

Because, just when Zhou Shuyuan said the Fifth Army. More than half a month ago, when everyone was discussing which army would attack Houjin, Zhou Shuyuan also proposed the Fifth Army, and the picture of a fleeting and strange smile on his face appeared directly in Luo Yangxing's mind.

At that time, Luo Yangxing was still suspicious that there were some ulterior secrets between Zhou Shuyuan and the Fifth Army from time to time.

It's just that because there was no evidence at that time, and there was no sign of this, Luo Yangxing only paid attention to it and didn't think too much about it.

And now, this Zhou Shuyuan actually mentioned the Fifth Army again!

If it were someone else, maybe wouldn't suspect anything.

However, Luo Yangxing is not the others...... From the perspective of an intelligence person, Zhou Shuyuan has repeatedly mentioned that the Fifth Army, which has nothing to do with him on the surface, must have some conspiracies and secrets that he does not know......

And at this moment, Luo Yangxing is thinking, what is this secret...... (To be continued......)
