314, Before the Expedition (I)

The weather is getting colder and colder, and according to the detailed report of the imperial court in the Turks, it has now begun to snow in the Turks. The Turks have begun to freeze to death, but it is not too strict yet, but at present, some people from marginal tribes are freezing to death. And those who are not left on the margins, they are not Turkic, so they are not taken seriously. But next, I am afraid that the Turks themselves will freeze to death, and in order to solve the cold crisis, they can only invade the Tang Dynasty in the south and loot food. And they couldn't care about Xue Yantuo's rebellion, because although there was a possibility of fighting on two fronts with the Tang Dynasty, they all had to do it. And the Turks have been spending a few years on Xue Yantuo, so it shows that the combat effectiveness of the Turks has decreased a lot, and even one Xue Yantuo can't solve it. And many people don't realize that the Turkic Empire, which was extremely powerful just a few years ago, is now in full swing and gradually declining.

At this time, the war machine of the entire country of Datang has been gradually running, and the government soldiers in various places have begun to be continuously transferred. According to the previous plan, the soldiers attacked the Turks in six ways, and the soldiers of each Zhichong Province had already left their hometowns and came to the capital Chang'an to gather. There were 200,000 fighters dispatched this time, and more than 100,000 troops were fighting on the front line alone. Datang can be said to be the elite who can fight, and Jingwen's Snow Shame Army is also ready to go out at any time.

"Guys, how are we ready?" Jingwen asked.

Feng Yong, director of the military affairs department, first reported: "The army has already formulated various plans, and as for the specific battle plan, we can analyze it with all kinds of intelligence when we arrive at the army." ”

Next, Liu Renliang, director of the General Affairs Department, reported: "The General Affairs Department has done a good job in various mobilization and education, and the soldiers are very enthusiastic, obviously they all want to kill more Turks, so as to wash away the shame." So. Not a problem in terms of morale. ”

Jingwen then asked Ma Zhou: "Ma Zhou, how is the logistics office?" We're fighting in the winter this time, and your logistics office is the most critical task. Are warm down jackets ready, tents ready, or even all sorts of things ready for a fire? Winter battles, food consumption is many times the past, are you ready? ”

"Rest assured, we're all set. After more than a year of preparation, we have already hunted countless birds and made a lot of down jackets. We can guarantee that. Each soldier had a down jacket. In addition, the charcoal, grain and grass for the fire are all prepared in the logistics troops. Even, all kinds of gunpowder, grenades, and missiles were finally made according to the original plan, and after a year of hoarding. Right now. We are waiting to attack the Turks at any time, and the logistics are definitely not a problem. If there is a problem with logistics, please take my head to correct the military law! Ma Zhou said very confidently.

After listening to the reports of the three guys, Jingwen was much more relieved. And Jingwen's 40,000 shameful army. It was to follow the plan, and it was to follow Li Jing's Chinese army. Jing Wen and the Snow Shame Army under his command directly accepted the command of the commander-in-chief Li Jing, so Jing Wen now has to report to Li Jing.

"General Li Jing, our Snow Shame Army is ready. At any time, he can be the emperor and go to the Turks. Jingwen said.

Li Jing took the initiative to let Jingwen sit down, and then said, "Jingwen." In fact, the old man has been paying attention to you for a long time. Although you were originally a courtier, the old man found that you were much better than others. You seem to have a talent in many aspects, but why don't you work hard and study hard? As long as you study hard, you can achieve something! The old man actually wanted to take you as an apprentice at that time, so that you could learn the art of war from the old man, so that you could also have the potential to become a generation of famous generals. Why did you refuse? ”

Jingwen only answered; "General Li Jing, I don't really want to be a famous general who scolds Fang Xuan on the battlefield. Because I don't have much ambition, I just want to live honestly. But the reason why I am where I am today is because others don't let me live a good life! So, I had to be forced to get up. And if I become your apprentice, then I'm afraid I won't have a chance to be comfortable. ”

"Hey, you just don't have much ambition, otherwise I'm afraid you can become a famous general." Li Jing said.

But Jingwen said: "General Li Jing, in fact, I think that the road of famous generals will become narrower and narrower. If you look at my military affairs department, you can see that there are more than 200 people in my military affairs department, and the efficiency of working together is much more powerful than that of many famous generals. And once the whole army is in operation, I am afraid it will be almost invulnerable. And this is the power of the team, a person, even if he is a genius, cannot win the cooperation of a group of people. And the ancients, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, we are just a group of people with ordinary talents, so that they can gather their little wisdom, and then become a big wisdom. We should figure out how to bring out the best in a team, rather than relying on a genius to lead. ”

"Maybe! In the future, it will be the world of the group. Li Jing couldn't help but sigh and said.

Li Jing has known a famous general like himself since the last war game deduction, and I am afraid that the road will become narrower and narrower in the future. In the future, it was the staff officers in the military affairs department who really commanded the army. And under this model, it is difficult to have a general who is full of words, and the general is just a coordinator, or a person who makes the final decision at a critical moment. Generals are not usually directly involved in the management of the army, but are managed by staff officers below. Those who have decision-making power do not participate in management, and those who manage executive power do not have decision-making power, which can be said to be a good strategy for decentralization. And this model is also very suitable for the emperor's inner thoughts, so that it will not cause a certain general to have too much prestige and let the military power be too concentrated. Not only is the military power dispersed, but it can also improve the combat effectiveness, what a wonderful idea! In order to ensure the security of their rule, the original emperors often adopted the strategy of emphasizing literature over military force, or suppressing military generals, or even reducing the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, after Jingwen's method of military staff came out, the eyes of Li Shimin, the emperor who was born as a famous general, lit up. And Li Jing, as a senior general, actually knew the emperor's thoughts, that is, this military staff officer should be gradually improved and implemented in the army in the future. This is for the royal rule, and it can improve the combat effectiveness, so whoever opposes it is plotting against it.

"Okay, you go back and say goodbye to your relatives and friends, and in ten days, you and the Snow Shame Army will come and gather!" Li Jing said. (To be continued......)
