Chapter Seventy-Three: Military Discipline
Li Tian quickly stood up: "What? Goguryeo is coming, breaking through the border fortress, what time is this?"
Chen Zhen and Li Jia, the deputy commanders of the Fourth Division, stood up with a look of disbelief and said in unison: "Impossible! What time is this? Goguryeo dare?"
Li Tian glared at the two of them angrily, and then turned his head to He Ze and said angrily: "He Ze, what did the Second Staff Department do, why is there such important information, we don't know about it!"
He Ze stood up and said with a wry smile: "My lord, our Second Staff Department is now focusing on the Central Plains, and we have not yet sent people to the four counties of Liaodong and Goguryeo to establish an intelligence station!"
Jia Yu and Xu Shu, who had just arrived, were stunned when they heard this, and when they first saw the sand table in the military aircraft hall, they were already very excited, and they could not imagine that they could use the sand model to vividly display the situation of the enemy and us in this form, but it was really an eye-opener, and they could grasp all the enemy's situations from the sand table for the commanders to use when studying the terrain, the enemy's situation, the combat plan, the organization and coordination, and the implementation of training!
When I heard it now, I was stunned, wasn't it before the war, intelligence came first?
The sand table can be marked so clearly, the lord should infiltrate all aspects of these two places, otherwise how can there be such a clear sand table between the enemy and us? How can it be that the intelligence station has not been established in these two places?
Yuan Qing walked to Li Tian's side and gently pulled his sleeve, only to see that Yuan Qing's mouth did not move, and he used the method of sound transmission to transmit the sound to Li Tian, and a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Childe, Liaodong and Goguryeo mainly use eagle high-altitude surveillance, and the sand table is all done by yourself in these two places! Have you forgotten?
Hearing Yuan Qing's secret voice, Li Tian suddenly remembered, when Xiaoqing and Xiaowan proposed to establish an intelligence station, monitor any wind and grass, he thought at that time, there are eagles in the air to monitor, at any time to understand the enemy's situation, there are fierce beasts on the ground to attack, even if it is not clear what the other party's layout is, as soon as the fierce beasts come out, the other party is not scared by them, our troops will travel when the time comes, clean up the mess, there is no need to waste resources, we should focus on the limited intelligence resources in the Central Plains, not this.
A large number of his fierce beasts swam around the sea, the eagles in the sky also flew around, countless wine, paper, and furniture were transported from here, and since then this place has prospered, and the volume of trade has increased, and Gongsun Du of Liaodong will definitely receive these rumors and attract his attention, a tiger and great wealth by his side, he will rest assured, he will not be moved, and he will definitely think about calculating himself!
Li Tian guessed that this should be Gongsun Du instigated Goguryeo to send troops to raid, messing up his own arrangement, and wanting to make a profit!
Two months ago, they captured the Sanhan region, but they didn't use these fierce beasts, and neither Gotora nor Velociraptor nor Eagle themselves have been allocated, so they don't know at all, and Gongsun Du doesn't know either, and he will have a big killing weapon like a fierce beast when he attacks them!
If they knew that there was a fierce beast attacking this kind of big killing weapon, Goguryeo dared to attack by surprise, but they were afraid that they would be huddled in the city all the time and tremble!
Li Tian thought of this, and suddenly felt shocked, Gongsun Du noticed himself and calculated himself, didn't the princes of the Central Plains notice him, this place is rich in all kinds of goods that collect money, they will not be moved. Li Tian absolutely believed that they would send someone to secretly find out the source of these goods, maybe they were all involved in this Goguryeo initiative attack!
Thinking of this, Li Tian broke out in a cold sweat, he was too light on the enemy, he didn't know anything about which enemies were plotting against him, Gongsun Du was possible, and all the princes of the Central Plains were possible, until this time he was still underestimating the enemy!
Why didn't Goguryeo dare to attack the enemy, when they captured Samhan, they had already threatened them, would Goguryeo let themselves grow? I was afraid that even if they knew that the enemy had fierce beasts, they would find a way to minimize the threat of fierce beasts!
I think too highly of these fierce beasts, if the other party is prepared, it is not impossible to kill these fierce beasts, after all, if these fierce beasts are divided by the cultivation level here, they are only the peak of the True Yuan Realm, maybe they can find a way to use the fierce beasts to defeat the army of the already side!
Then Li Tian asked the herald how the fortress had fallen overnight, and finally understood what was going on!
The border fortress of Dongping County was lost so quickly, and the first brigade of the fourth division was stationed there, and about 6,000 people were defending the city, so it was impossible for it to be lost so quickly? Besides, the soldiers of each division had undergone strict training on Xianren Island, how could they be lost so quickly, the chief adjutant was holding a meeting here, but there was still a second deputy!
Last night, the second deputy brigade commander He Ping actually held a night at home, many generals and colonels were drunk, who knew that the Goguryeo raid, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the chaos was a mess, and the second brigade was wiped out in this way, and He Zhiping and many generals and colonels were captured alive in a drunken dream.
After hearing this, Chen Zhen and Li Jia were finally convinced that the fortress had been lost, and immediately knelt down on their knees and cried: "My lord, we are all incompetent in management and have no way to discipline us! Please punish the lord! Shame on the great cause of the lord, please punish the lord!"
Li Tian was furious in his heart, and repeatedly reiterated military discipline, and there was actually such a thing of an important person in the army inviting a lieutenant general and colonel to drink in the border fortress, so he wanted to deal with these two people, and suddenly remembered that he had also invited the middle and high-ranking members of the army to drink in the barracks. I'm afraid that on the one hand, my own light enemy has infected every soldier, on the other hand, there is such a fierce beast on the side, plus there are many masters, in the eyes of these soldiers, it may have been extremely powerful, no one can be defeated, and it is a matter of time before the world is unified.
When the main deputy of the Fourth Division heard that the fortress had been lost, he said that it was impossible, Goguryeo dared, and these words showed how light they were!
That is to say, the culprit who caused the destruction of the entire army of the First Brigade of the Fourth Division is himself, he is also the one who took the lead in violating discipline, and he is also the one who underestimated the enemy!
The Art of War: Don't take the army as heavy and light the enemy, don't take the lone sword as the heavy, and don't take the tenant as inevitable. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in the art of war!
If you are faced with the endless calculations and strategies of the princes of the Central Plains, you are afraid that you will not understand it until you die. It's not too late to wake up!
It's a pity that 6,000 soldiers!
Liu Ming really realized at this time that he was no longer a homebody living by the fish pond, but the commander and lord who led thousands of troops and horses, and was the leader who was in charge of the life and death of tens of millions of people. If you don't abide by military discipline yourself, even if you emphasize military discipline countless times, there are still people who are influenced by you, then these people who follow you are a little dangerous, and it is even more impossible for you to achieve your goals in the Three Kingdoms.
Thinking of this, Li Tian turned his head and said to Yuan Qing solemnly: "Xiaoqing, Xiao Wan, you are now riding the Immortal Crane and bringing two eagles, bringing Jincheng and many main and deputy officers of the Fourth Division, and personally commanding the raid of Goguryeo, I hope that it is still too late, and Gozera and the Velociraptor will follow up later! Then, since Goguryeo is looking for death, after defeating the invading Goguryeo army, follow it directly to attack Goguryeo as planned!"
Li Tian's heart moved, and he passed the order to these fierce beasts, and the crane and the eagle suddenly chirped in the sky, reminding Li Tian that it was coming!
Looking at Chen Zhen and Li Jia who were kneeling in front of him, he said lightly: "Lead people to follow the master's mother, lower the level by one level, make meritorious contributions with crimes, and temporarily take charge of the Fourth Division by the chief of staff.
Chen Zhen and Li Jia thought that they would be beaten to the end, but they didn't expect that they would be able to make meritorious contributions with crimes, and their level was only downgraded by one level, so they hurriedly led everyone to thank Li Tian!
Xiaoqing and Xiaowan didn't think about it so much, since the son asked for it, then go and implement it!
The military situation is like fighting a fire, Xiaoqing and Xiaowan took everyone to leave in cranes and eagles!
After seeing Xiao Qing and Xiao Wan leaving, Li Tian looked around at the people present, and then said solemnly: "I am the culprit who caused the annihilation of the First Brigade of the Fourth Division, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't care about establishing a complete intelligence system in Liaodong and Goguryeo, and infecting every soldier below with the light enemy, and even taking the lead in violating military discipline and drinking in the barracks, this might not have happened." The military style is not in order, quite conniving with me, if I do not abide by military discipline, how will the brothers below look at it, and how will the soldiers be led later. There will not be much improvement in military discipline! In my opinion, this matter should be handled by me first and dealt with strictly from one level to another!
