I like to save books on weekdays.,I haven't read it for nearly two months.,Read it today.,Sure enough,Cool !!

In the battle of Shandong, in my opinion, although Xiao Deng was not a big victory, it cannot be said to be a tragic victory!!

Why? In this battle, Xiao Deng completely achieved the strategic purpose of entering Shandong:

1. The land of eastern Liaodong is located in a remote area, and it is the capital of western Liaoning, where the Yuan army is critical, and the battle is invincible; Retreat is deep in the mountains and old forests, the peninsula and the sea, and there is no retreat. The land is barren, the talents are not abundant, and there are many Hu people, and their hearts may not be similar. If they defend this place, they will be destroyed by others, or they will bow down. Jump out of the encirclement of Liaodong, avoid the encirclement of the Dadu Yuan army, and avoid being confined to a remote place; A new front has been opened, which can enter the Central Plains and the two Huai worlds, and can also go north to threaten the capital, forming a flanking attack, which is the so-called fish leaping dragon gate.

2. Crossing the sea to conquer Shandong, setting foot in the Central Plains, and juxtaposing with the world's heroes, so that the heroes of the world face Haidong. The number of Han Chinese has also increased substantially, especially the ease of recruiting displaced people to enrich Korea; At the same time, it is easy to collect the world's talents and lay a solid foundation for winning the world.

3. In the battle with Cha Khan, it seemed that the Haidong Army suffered heavy losses, but in fact, it was not, only Yang Wanhu and the elite of Xiao Deng Yan suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the troops were within the acceptable range. In this battle, Shandong's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, which greatly weakened Shandong's local soldiers and horses, and was easy to reorganize in the future; And the two sides fought together, played a comradeship, and won people's hearts; It is also convenient for Xiao Deng to observe the hearts and minds of the people in Shandong, eliminate a large number of landlords in a timely manner, and sweep away hidden dangers in the future; He also inspected the ability of Shandong generals and civil officials at close range, and obtained several generals and officials. The most important thing is to become famous all over the world and achieve the power of a hegemon.

Cha Khan's battle, seemingly undefeated, obtained Jinan, Jining land, through the north and south; The land of Shandong is surrounded, but it has lost the general trend. Cha Khan first came, lightly broke Tian Feng, wanted to take advantage of Xiao Deng Chu, failed to reorganize the Shandong military horses, straightened out the political situation in Shandong, when the backup did not arrive, he was caught off guard, and the trend of sweeping Shandong has appeared, which can be described as the time of the day. The Chahan army attacked from the north and south, divided Jinan and Tai'an, bullied the weak, easily detoured to Yidu, and galloped across the land of Shandong, which could not be said to be convenient for no geographical advantage. Chahan Army, the soldiers are veterans of the war, and there are countless brave generals, but there are many who can lead one side alone. However, he was first dull in Tai'an, and then frustrated under the city of Yidu, failing to drive Xiao Deng out of Shandong, and then retreating due to instability in the rear, so that Xiao Deng stood firmly in Shandong, and the trend of enterprising the Central Plains has appeared. Although the Haidong Army is a division of a hundred battles, but its generals are very few, this battle is very sharpening Xiao Deng and his generals, young and excellent generals continue to emerge, Shandong military horses are a tempering, and the combat power is more refined. The enemy's foothold is not stable and he has the right time and place, and the momentum of the wind and thunder has not yet been defeated, let alone the time !!

In this battle, Xiao Deng lost the opportunity first, was not well prepared, and was caught off guard; Sitting in a dangerous city, he couldn't supervise and dispatch people, and he was beaten passively. In this battle, the dilemma of Haidong began in Jinan; The defeat of Jinan began with the defeat of the southeast coast of Shandong; The defeat in the southeast was still well prepared, and it was caused by the loss of the opportunity, and it failed to coordinate the commander of the Tuntian army. As far as Haidong is concerned, the biggest variable in this battle lies in Zhao Guo's department, if according to Pan Xian'er's plan, cut off its grain route, then Shandong's situation will immediately produce variables, and it will no longer be controlled by others, but Xiao Deng is trapped in Yidu, so that Zhao Guo's department will become a dead son and cannot move; However, for the first time, Xiao Deng had to defend here, and it was also a dilemma to share weal and woe!!

Some book friends pointed out that fighting guerrilla warfare is actually unrealistic, guerrilla warfare is to mobilize the enemy, to fight more and less, to create local advantages, to divide the troops and attack together, to eliminate the enemy's organic forces, but in ancient times there was no radio telephone, there was no real-time communication conditions; Moreover, the Chahan army is also in a group, and the Shandong Peninsula has no depth at all, so it can't swim; The most important thing is that if Yidu is lost, Tian Feng will surrender, and Haidong will be defeated!

Tian Feng should not be eliminated now. First of all, Haidong has only gone through the Great War, and it needs to rest and recuperate, straighten out the relationship between Haidong and Shandong, and digest and absorb it is the right reason; secondly, it can be used as a buffer with the sweat department; Third, Tian Feng is like a chicken and a dog, and he can be destroyed at any time; Fourth, the way of righteousness, the same Song Chen, is not good if the name is not right; Fifth, as far as Haidong is concerned, the main attack at the moment is the two cities of Jinan and Jining, not Tianfeng's department. As for whether it is eliminated or not, we can wait and see the general trend of the world.

Finally, thank you Lao Zhao for this strange article and look forward to the follow-up.
