Chapter 85: The Great Army Pressing the Frontier (2)
The atmosphere in the big tent is a little dignified,
All the arrangements for the pass forces and even the positions of the decisive battle in the sand table have been set, and if you look closely, it is very complete, and it can even be said to be seamless.
But in the end, it's just on paper,
Speaking of talking on paper, it is naturally inseparable from a person Zhao Kuo,
In the art of war, Zhao Kuo is a genius, which is indisputable.
However, he has not experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and he does not know how to be flexible, so he is a failure, "The disciple can read his father's biography, but he doesn't know how to mutate." Lin Xiangru said.
In fact, to put it another way, if Zhao Kuo can live in the army for a long time, climb up step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and rely on the furrow in his belly, he may not be able to achieve a generation of famous generals, at least he will not be stinking for 10,000 years, right?
Unfortunately, history never ifs.
It was also that battle that made a person,
Wu Anjun Baiqi,
Changping killed more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the first battle,
The name of "Killing God" is naturally known to everyone in the world in the previous life, stepping on the white bones, infamous for eternity, paving a road to heaven for the correction of Lao Qin.
How similar is this to my own father?
Bai Qi naturally knew what kind of uproar would be caused by killing 400,000 soldiers, but he still did it, maybe he had already seen his end the moment he gave the order.
He served as the chief general of the Qin army for more than 30 years, and went down to more than 70 cities, with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood behind him, stepping on thousands of white bones, and was awarded the title of Wu Anjun of the Yu Qin State.
Presumably when Du You drank the poisoned wine,
He's pleased, right?
He knew that only his own death could reassure the nations,
Only he died,
Only by correcting Lao Qin can he sweep the six countries and achieve immortal feats!
My father must have been the same back then, if he hadn't crossed over by himself, maybe his death in the Imperial Garden would have been a good ending for him.
"In this way, all the pressure will be put on His Highness's side. ”
Qu Xingwei said in a deep voice, he naturally did not have the slightest doubt about His Majesty's ability to arrange troops, after all, even if the situation changed, he could calmly deal with hundreds of battles, large and small.
But the pressure on His Highness's side is too great, and if there is the slightest mistake, it will be the enemy on the back.
The northern border of Liangzhou and the Gobi is very wide, once all the horses are withdrawn, it is equivalent to the entire rear is naked in front of the barbarians, once there is the slightest change, the barbarians can even drive straight into the hinterland of Liangzhou.
"60,000 iron horsemen go north, at least it is feasible to disrupt the pace of the barbarians, and it is possible to fight quickly, not to mention that as long as His Highness can hold the barbarians for a while, it is easy to say that our side can free up our hands. Bai Qingfeng condensed.
"But that's too risky, isn't it?"
Qu Xingwei looked at the evacuated Yumen Pass and various passes, and he was still a little frightened.
"For today's plan, we have to do this, we can't afford it in Liangzhou. ”
Bai Qingfeng opened his mouth and pointed to the sand table, Qingguo has dozens of counties on nine continents, and there are more than hundreds of county seats, but Liangzhou is only three counties, and there is really no confidence to fight for the foundation.
"I believe in Your Highness!"
Bai Qingfeng looked directly into Qu Xingwei's eyes, and his eyes were extremely determined.
......
Sanchuan County, on the official road of the four directions,
As far as the eye can see,
Countless carriages, carts, are pulling grain and grass to the north, the marching kettle and other things have not fallen, there are more people in front of the bridge to build roads, the 200,000 troops that have arrived in Liangzhou are just the vanguard army, and the follow-up troops are still coming.
It can be said that 500,000 soldiers eat horses and chew an astronomical amount, and the logistics of transporting grain and grass are naturally the top priority.
"Have you heard, this time in order to collect grain, all the granaries in the customs are about to be emptied. A man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to his companion on the side.
"Who says it's not, God didn't give face to these years, all kinds of natural disasters continued to produce badly, but fortunately, the wealth in the customs was barely able to survive. ”
"Now that the imperial court has increased taxes by fifty percent, and the granary has been emptied, the people in the customs are afraid that they will not be able to stabilize it. The man next to him sighed, inexplicably a little worried.
"Smack......
The whip fell,
A bloody mark appeared on the face of the man who spoke, and when he looked up, the captain was looking at him coldly, and he didn't care about the pain, and his knees fell to the ground as soon as he became weak, begging for mercy again and again.
"Those who disturb the morale of the army, slash!"
The captain drew his long knife, and his head was big, and the blood was pouring out.
Hundreds of people around were silent,
The captain still doesn't give up,
The long knife was swung again, and before the man could react, his head had already fallen to the ground.
"These two people disturbed the morale of the army, and they made a decision to set an example!"
The lieutenant swept his eyes coldly, and no one spoke.
Sanchuan boundary,
Under the order of the main general, the camp was set up in the shape of a pin, and the small camp and the large camp relied on each other.
The momentum of each other's horns is very stable.
In the camp of the Chinese army,
Chen Wenzhi stood on the high platform and looked at the flags below and frowned secretly, at this moment, he has not yet run in, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, it is definitely not feasible to send troops, there is no other way but to stick to it.
Looking in the direction of the capital in the south, he sighed abruptly, I hope it, I hope there will be no big mess in the capital, this Northern Expedition has been ready to fight for three years and two years, and the court can still hold on to it if he grits his teeth, and he will be considered a successful retirement if he dies of this Liangzhou thief.
It is also excellent to resign from the official position in the dynasty and return to his hometown with honor.
"How's the grain and grass in the camp?"
Walking outside the camp, Chen Wenzhi asked the grain and grass escort officer beside him.
"It is enough for the army for thirty days, and the rest of the grain and grass are on the way, and there is absolutely no worry about lack of food. ”
"Well, I'll go and find out later. ”
Chen Wenzhi nodded and continued to patrol outside the camp.
"How is the trench outside the camp and the horse rejection array being repaired?"
"My lord, the people have been working since yesterday, and it will be completed in another day. ”
When Chen Wenzhi's words fell, the overseer said, when the main general of the army was decided, he had no perfunctory thoughts, and the other main general did not have the kung fu to investigate carefully, but when he met this Chen Wenzhi, this was a matter of losing his head, and naturally he could not tolerate the slightest sloppiness.
"The ditch is two feet wide and one foot deep, all according to the rules of the general. ”
"That's great!"
Chen Wenzhi patted the wooden fence behind him, and before he could speak, the man spoke.
"General Chen, the wooden stakes are all one zhang into the ground, and the height is not less than two zhang. ”
"Well, the horse rejection array and horse trap outside the camp are also farther away to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp. ”
Chen Wenzhi pointed to the open space outside the camp and said, this is a long-standing habit, and he prefers to investigate many things in person than the reports of his subordinates.
I still remember that when I was fighting in the south, the young man always laughed and scolded that he was the Iron King.
But I didn't expect that there would be a day when soldiers would meet each other,
Back then, I was just a general soldier,
Now he has become the commander of an army of 500,000 people,
Back then, that man was only a thousand iron horsemen
Now he has become the number one thief in the world with 300,000 troops.
"It's really a trick. ”
Chen Wenzhi sighed.
