Lu Xiong feigned anger and said: "Your Majesty is greedy for pleasure, and you don't even care about the overall situation? The division of troops is really a misguided statement, my Dashang has set up hundreds of thousands of troops to march westward, in order to complete its work in one battle, the so-called lion fights rabbits, the king of the world, only with the army to press the border, with the momentum of Mount Tai to pacify Xiqi in one fell swoop, in order to deter the princes, the enemy of my Dashang, but not only Xiqi all the way. ”

"If you rashly divide the troops and lose the advantage of troops, it will undoubtedly give the Zhou army a chance to break through one by one......

Lu Xiong paused, and then said: "What's more, the division of troops is easy to say, but in fact, all aspects must be taken into account, if it is divided into three routes, then the grain and grass must also be divided into three routes, which is extremely troublesome to transport, and besides, the leading generals are not subordinate to each other, who should be respected? Isn't the generalissimo of the Western Expedition worthy of the name? So how should the army be dispatched? Have these Your Majesty ever considered it?"

Zishou was stunned by Lu Xiong's words, and he deliberately asked Master Wen to give a little lecture during the Southern Expedition, why did the military level pull his hips like this?

Sima Yi admonished Cao Pi to cut down Shu, didn't he also divide the five route soldiers?

But this is also good, it fully proves that the level of leading troops to fight is limited, the previous victory in the Southern Expedition was just an accident, and it completely removed the misunderstanding of the people of the world about himself.

So, Zi Shouqiang said: "I think it must be the advantages more than the disadvantages, the division of troops is the safest way at present, the Zhou army is a few months earlier than our army, in case of an ambush, it is the whole army of the Western Expedition annihilated, if the army is divided into multiple roads, march together, even if one of them is ambushed, the other roads are enough to go west and capture Xiqi." ”

Lu Xiong threw down the utensils in his hand and said angrily: "What nonsense! How can Your Majesty be so confused? When it comes to stability, is there anything more secure than the army being pressed down? If the troops are divided and the march is put aside for the time being, the grain, grass, and logistics will have to be dispersed and follow the army through mountains and rivers, and more importantly, if the army is divided into several units and there is no superiority in the troops, how can we ensure that the soldiers and horses will not be broken by the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, don't mistake the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies because of your own opinion!"

Zishou quarreled with Lu Xiong for a while, in fact, no matter whether the division of troops is a good plan or a bad plan, he is more inclined to divide the troops, after all, in the original Lu Xiong, he took the main army to Qishan in one go, but was frozen into a blizzard carnival by Jiang Ziya, and even he was compensated.

But there is nothing to be done at the moment, could it be that he grabbed Lu Xiong's neck and told him with a hideous face, hurry up and divide the troops, otherwise you will wait to be an ice cube?

The troops can be divided, Jiang Ziya can naturally be frozen, how to fight, with Zishou's military level, his eyes are really black, and he has no clue.

Everything that can be said has been said, you can only watch Lu Xiong's, and by the way, take the opportunity to hear and hear, so that people can have a correct understanding of themselves, and it is not bad to earn some fragmentary mediocrity.

In order to show his stubbornness, Zishou continued to argue with Lu Xiong, and Lu Xiong was also quite cooperative, and the roar became louder and louder, as if it overshadowed the music, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Everyone in the tent has been listening to the arguments of the two, one is the monarch, the other is the marshal of the Western Expedition, although they are high-ranking generals in the army, but they are not easy to dissuade.

After a long time, Zi Shoucai said: "It's okay, since the old general is leading the army to the west, then follow the old general." ”

When the words fell, the generals in the tent exhaled, and the music and dancing were much calmer.

Lu Xiong snorted coldly and chattered: "It should have been like this a long time ago, although Your Majesty is the king of a country, this time the old man can't listen to the holy order, the division of troops is a taboo, especially in the case of our army's strength advantage, the division of troops is a move to make the next move, the army presses the border, mainly to destroy the main force of Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, and take Xiqi directly after breaking through the army, this is the most effective strategy, and it can also play an effective deterrent role, so that the princes of the Quartet dare not move lightly, and at the same time can save many days of food and grass....."

Zishou's face remained unswerving, but he also nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Lu Xiong's statement.

The generals whispered to each other, although there were some offensive moves, but Lu Xiong even dared to refute the king, and to the point that he had already shown his determination, Gao Jineng's rebuttal just now would definitely not have any effect, and Lu Xiong planned to go all the way to the end.

All the generals can actually understand Lu Xiong's thoughts, although Lu Xiong is the secretary of the military department of the current dynasty, but there is also a Wen Taishi and a Wucheng King above, among the generals of the Great Shang, in fact, he can only barely rank third.

This third is still mixed up with age, because Lu Xiong has been in Chaoge for a long time, he has not led the troops to fight for many years, and he has no record of winning it.

Moreover, the second issue of the Yuedan Review released not long ago counted the big business generals all over again, and there was a rhetorical question of "Can Lu Xiong still be able to eat?", which is simply heartbreaking.

Of course, just a few days after Shi Yan recovered, he was admitted to medical school again, and even had his own exclusive ward, but no matter how much Shi Yan was beaten, he could only relieve his anger, but he couldn't change the world's opinion of the big business generals.

Lu Xiong thought differently from the generals, he was extremely relieved to see this situation.

Such a dispute, coupled with all the previous ones, was enough to paralyze the Zhou army.

In fact, it doesn't matter how to send troops, concentrating the army to press it in one breath is the way, and dividing the troops and cutting the flesh with a blunt knife is also a way, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

After all, when it comes to fighting, there is no foolproof strategy, there are always advantages and disadvantages, and the starting point is the same, which is to break the enemy.

But....

Lu Xiong couldn't help but be secretly frightened, if it wasn't for the reminder of the king, he would have almost caused a catastrophe.

Although he was all fooling people at the beginning, he really planned to launch a fierce attack with his troops in one place, but he forgot one thing, the meaning of the Western Expedition was not the same as the previous Southern Expedition.

Zhou Tianzi, that is, Ji Fa, Ji Fa and Xiqi are now the bosses of the anti-business forces in the world, if the western expedition is successful, this is equivalent to announcing to the people of the world, what is the mandate of heaven? There is no mandate of heaven, and the mandate of heaven was pinched to death by the big businessmen.

As soon as Xiqi was destroyed, not only the world returned to the center, but also shocked the princes of various places, and ordinary nobles did not dare to act rashly, thus making the momentum of the great merchants reach the peak.

This kind of great achievement is enough to tell the court and the temple that the king is not worthy of tearing the earth.

Is such a great merit or a fault? Where can a courtier take it alone? It is clearly a disaster!

Lu Xiong was quite moved, as early as the first day of arriving at Tongguan, the king of Xuan used the strictness of the soldiers to warn him separately, not to treat the soldiers with a mouthful of tongues, and now he reminded him again.

This is not to say that the king does not trust him, but this kind of thing, even if the king trusts the generals who lead the army from the bottom of his heart, it is difficult to avoid it, after all, people are terrible.

Therefore, we can only try to avoid suspicion, and then divide the credit by dividing the troops, which can be called perfect.
