Chapter 527: Strategizing (Medium)
For the great battle of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the 'Eastern' Turks, Zhao Yunze has been looking forward to it for a long time.
As a soldier, whether before or after the crossing, Zhao Yunze has a strong interest in fighting. At the beginning of the crossing, he caught up with the Battle of Weishui. After that, he didn't experience any major battles. But for the history of the early Tang Dynasty, especially the history of war, Zhao Yunze is quite familiar.
When he was still in the military academy, his tactical instructor was a fan of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he often used the classic examples of the Sui and Tang dynasties to teach the cadets. After going back and forth, Zhao Yunze was also very familiar with those classic battles in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.
After the Battle of Weishui, the biggest war in the Tang Dynasty was the battle to destroy the 'Eastern' Turks. In the past three years, Zhao Yunze often recalled some details of this war in his spare time. At this time, although the war had not yet broken out, for Zhao Yunze, this war had already ended. He also knows the story of the war well.
Although, because of the butterfly effect brought about by this traveler, history has undergone some changes. However, for the Tang Dynasty, it has become better, and on the contrary, the Turks have become weaker because of Zhao Yunze's several troubles.
In other words, Datang only needs to follow the deployment of this war in the original history, and the chances of victory are even greater than in the original history.
After Fang Xuanling asked Zhao Yunze, Zhao Yunze stared at the sand table.
"This is Daizhou, and the northeast is Dingxiang occupied by Yang Zhengdao......" Zhao Yunze took the indicator stick while looking at the sand table, and pointed on the sand table.
At this time, the deployment of the Tang Dynasty in this war in the original history has become words, and all of them are displayed in Zhao Yunze's mind.
Unconsciously, Zhao Yunze pointed to the sand table while whispering the words that appeared in his mind: "Li Jing, the acting prince of the country, is the head of the march of Dingxiang Road, Chi Jingde, the lieutenant of Wu Guo, is the deputy general, plus Su Dingfang, and leads the army of 20,000 soldiers to send Dingxiang ......"
When everyone heard that Zhao Yunze actually directly ordered troops to line up, they were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall.
Fang Xuanling was just about to remind Zhao Yunze that it was inappropriate for him to say these words. But Li Shimin waved his hand and signaled others not to disturb Zhao Yunze. Fang Xuanling had no choice but to remain silent.
At this time, Zhao Yunze had already fallen into the memories of the Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy the 'Eastern' Turks in the original history, and forgot everyone around him. In his eyes at this time, there was only that sand table.
"Li Ji, the governor of Laiguo and the prefecture, was the chief of the march of the Tonghan Road, and Zhang Gongjin, the acting governor of Zou Guogong, and Gao Yongsheng, the governor of Minzhou, were the deputy generals, and led 30,000 main forces from the east road to directly attack the 'eastern' Turkic hinterland; Chai Shao, the prince of Huazhou, was the chief of the march of the Jinhe Road, and Qin Shubao, the prince of Yiguo, was the deputy general, and led an army of 15,000 on the west road, advancing along the Yellow River, echoing Li Jing and Li Jiyao......
After only a while, Zhao Yunze pointed out the three-way army. With Zhao Yunze's narration, everyone also looked at Zhao Yunze's indicator stick and thought about it.
At this time, the entire side hall was quiet, only Zhao Yunze's low but clear voice.
Zhao Yunze still didn't realize the amazing move he had made, and still pointed to the sand table, continuing to recount the deployment of troops recalled in his mind.
"Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the head of the Datongdao march, and Zhang Baoxiang, the assassin of Ganzhou, was the deputy general, leading an army of 15,000 from Lingzhou to the northwest; Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was the chief of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Zhijie, the official of Suguo, was the deputy general, leading an army of 10,000 to guard the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward; Xue Wanche, the governor of Lingzhou, was the head of the Changwudao march, and Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was the deputy general, leading an army of 10,000 to attack the Turkic rear through the northeast to monitor the Turkic Khan. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yunze suddenly remembered the Yan and Khitan departments in Liaodong, and said again: "In addition, there is a strange army in Liaodong, which should be able to draw five thousand to eight thousand soldiers and horses...... However, no matter who is responsible for this army, I must accompany the army. ”
Zhao Yunze frowned again and said to himself: "Where should this army of soldiers and horses go?" With that, let them go around to Xue Yantuo's department, and together with Xue Yantuo, attack Jieli's territory from the north. In this way, there is no need to send another general to save them. I can also take part in the big battles elsewhere. Let them work with Xue Yantuo's troops to choose their own combat targets, and their strategic role is to use guerrilla tactics to disrupt the 'eastern' Turkic north, make it difficult for Jieli to take care of his head and tail, and prevent Jieli from fleeing north. Thinking about it, Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan is also happy to take this opportunity to bite a few bites of meat. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he asked in a low voice: "Then who should be in charge of these seven roads of soldiers and horses?" ”
"Naturally, it is Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty......"
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Yunze also came to his senses.
Oops, why did I eat the bear's heart leopard gall? A little seven-rank officer, he actually did the work of the General Staff! Is this kind of strategic-level mobilization of troops that I can participate in?
"Your Majesty, the minister is arrogant and talks nonsense, and he deserves to be a capital crime!" Zhao Yunze hurriedly knelt on the ground at Li Shimin.
"Hahaha, you're done talking, do you know you're scared?" Li Shimin laughed.
"Minister...... The minister was fascinated for a while, and some of the minister's private thoughts about the use of troops and Turks in the Tang Dynasty over the years came out baldly. Zhao Yunze said embarrassedly.
"Get up, since it's a matter of discussion, then you should speak freely. You are not guilty! Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your leniency." Zhao Yunze stood up.
Li Shimin said again: "Peng Yu, you can say the deployment of the seven routes at once, and the generals are also extremely proficient, it can be seen that you have indeed been thinking about cleaning up the Turks all these years." Li Shimin smiled again.
"Minister...... The minister is arrogant, and he thinks about things beyond his duty. ”
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You think about it very well!" Those who do not seek eternity are less than a certain time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Regardless of whether the strategy you have figured out is feasible or not, you can think about the battle concept from the overall situation, which is enough to see your loyalty to Datang and your resources! ”
"Your Majesty has won the award, and the minister is just thinking about it when he is fine." Zhao Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he embarrassedly arched his hand towards those generals and said, "The kid didn't pay attention just now, and directly called you by your name, offended!" ”
"Haha, I want to thank you for looking up to me and sending me an errand!" Cheng bit Jin slapped Zhao Yunze on the shoulder and laughed.
The rest of the people laughed heartily.
When everyone stopped laughing, Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Everyone, Aiqing, you have all listened to Zhao Yunze's troop dispatch strategy just now, what do you think?" ”
