Chapter 20: The Prologue to the Great War of Disaster and Trouble
The spring breeze was warm, but Zhang Xian felt a little cold, subconsciously tightened his clothes, turned around and walked to the row of wooden houses in front of the mountain, Zuo Xuan and Huang Juan glanced at each other and followed.
It is a large house with logs and columns and walls and a large sand table in the middle of the house.
Entering the house, Zhang Xian only paused slightly and did not walk to the sand table, but came to the table, beckoned Zuo Xuan and Huang Juan to sit, and asked Uncle Tai to make tea, turned his head to look at Er Qin, who was guarding the door of the house like a door god, retracted his gaze and glanced at Liao Lin and Xiao Fei, who were laying out paper and carrying pens to record, and Luo Song, who was immersed in copywriting on another crime, sighed secretly:
"The situation is not very favorable to us, the third military reform of the Ministry of War has not yet landed, there is such a situation here, do you have any strategy to delay the Qin army from acting early?"
This time he came here, Zhang Xian's intention was obvious, that is, to find ways to delay the time of the Qin army's southern invasion.
The founding of the Xia State has gone through several restructuring and reorganization, and this should be the fourth time.
As the situation changes, the Xia army must also change and innovate.
This is an inevitable trend, the country is stable, and the more than one million troops suddenly lose their target, and they will be lazy, and if they lose the tight line, they will have a lot of things, so Zhang Xiancai came to a round battle, but the goal of the round war is too weak, and it will be dragged down in less than two years, so they have to find something to do for them, otherwise there will be chaos.
But now it can't be expanded, so take advantage of this free time to arm and fight.
The whole army is not achieved overnight, it takes time, but at this juncture, the Qin army has moved.
Chen Gongwei and Liu Yong of the Military Department, as well as Wang Yan of the General Staff Headquarters, worked out a set of plans after discussion and study, which were approved and implemented after Zhang Xian's review.
By wartime establishment:
Divided into twelve legions plus six special legions.
Each corps is 100,000 people, including 10,000 in the logistics department, the head of the corps is the general of the Jiedu envoy, and there are three deputy generals, one of whom is in charge of the logistics department, the staff of the military, and the supervision of the army, each corps has ten corps, one army has 10,000 people, each army has one commander, five commanders, n heads, and the head is the battalion commander, which is omitted below.
In this way, there are ten main battle legions and two local legions in the Xia Kingdom.
Six special legions: a special regiment of the Jingji garrison, a special regiment of the internal guard, a special regiment of the Black Flag Army, a special regiment of the inland naval army, a special combat cavalry regiment, and an ocean-going navy.
It is a professional soldier and military service and cantonment.
Professional soldiers have a salary, military service is compulsory, but there is a military salary, and the tuntian soldiers are, to put it bluntly, a reserve force, composed of veterans.
That is to say, two of the 12 main combat corps are tuntian soldiers, and when there is no war, they go home to farm and do business casually, and once there is a war, they must quickly return to rebuild and take up arms to maintain local stability.
"I'm wondering if I'm going to take the Black Flag Army to the rear of the Qin Army to do something?"
Zuo Xuan doesn't have a good way now, he only has more than 60,000 Predators, these fighters are now turned professional soldiers, and there are some troubles in the process of changing jobs, but in the end, with everyone's efforts, the transformation is finally completed.
Zhang Xian's original promise was also fulfilled.
There were some people who wanted to retire, and after doing the hard work, only a small number quit the Black Flag Army.
The Black Flag Army's combat strength was finally preserved.
To put it bluntly, the Black Flag Army is Zhang Xian's Guards and the Imperial Army.
"General Zuo, the Black Flag Army is too ostentatious, as soon as you come out, the Qin State will soon see through it, and they will bite you back, and it is not beautiful to send troops. ”
Huang Juan opposed the Black Flag Army's current attack on the rear of the Qin army.
"That's just as well. ”
"Woe to the East?"
Zhang Xian frowned and hesitated.
"I have used it, and this trick can indeed be achieved now, but Your Majesty, think about it, even if we lead the Qin army to Suli Kingdom, it will actually not be beneficial to us!"
"Yes!"
When people are always strong and poor, one person's ability is limited, although Zhang Xian is wise enough, but the current situation still makes him unable to think of any way, and he doesn't feel a headache.
Zuo Xuan is brave and brave, he is in command of the marching battle, and he has nothing to say about taking the lead in the charge, but he lacks the overall situation, although Huang Juan is resourceful, but after all, he lacks experience in the big war and lacks strategic thinking.
"Your Majesty, can you use the nails of Kunshan?"
Seeing Zhang Xian thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Xuan and Huang Juan looked guilty, and secretly thought that if it weren't for the fact that the adults in the military department and the staff headquarters were busy with military reform, how could they make the lord of the country in such a predicament.
Each thought of an idea, and suddenly Huang Juan had a flash of inspiration, remembering that the 20,000 Qin troops in Kunshan were Bao Feng's troops.
"Tell us what you think. ”
"Yichun City. ”
Zhang Xian's eyes lit up.
So a few days later, Bao Feng led 15,000 men and horses out of the mountain without warning to kill Yichun City.
Almost at the same time, the Qin army of Gadfly Mountain also came out of the mountain.
This caught Su Jie, who was in charge of military affairs here in Suli Kingdom, off guard, Yichun City was in an emergency, the northern border was in an emergency, and the Suli Kingdom, which had been calm for a while, was in chaos for a while.
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Qin State Army Headquarters on the northwest bank of the Chen River, Li Zongxun had a gloomy face, and the military generals on the left and right sides lowered their heads and were silent.
Marquis Jin Yang sat on the side of the handsome desk and was silent, but he secretly poked General Zhennan on his side with his elbow.
General Zhennan reluctantly got up and clenched his fists:
"The marshal calmed his anger, and the last general felt that the matter had come to this point, so the only way to change his strategy and take half of the territory of Suri first was not too contrary to the will of the saints. ”
Li Zongxun sighed and pressed his hands on a false basis, and asked General Zhennan to sit down, there was no way for General Zhennan to be a member of the Qin family, and the military affairs here were originally in his charge.
"Alas, why didn't General Bao report before he acted, there was no communication in the north, so he just moved, and there was no ......rule at all."
It's no wonder that Li Zongxun was angry, although he was ordered to take over the commander of the southern army, but it did not include Bao Feng's 20,000 troops, those people and horses in the gadfly mountains, and even the people and horses of Li Chaoyang could not be mobilized, wouldn't he be depressed.
After receiving a battle report, Bao Feng and the two men in the Gadfly Mountains suddenly launched a spring offensive, which disrupted his original plan.
"Bao Feng is isolated in the interior of Suli Country, and it is inconvenient to communicate, and the Gadfly Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Northern District, En...... Maybe they have received a secret edict from the Taiwei Mansion or the Holy Lord......?"
General Zhennan said hesitantly.
Li Zongxun shook his head.
"Now that this is the case, we have been passively mobilized by them, so we have to change our plan and take the country of Suri first. ”
This matter really made Li Zongxun depressed, originally he was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition, but now he was passively transferred, and he had to cooperate with Bao Feng and them, otherwise......
However, things were not as simple as imagined, just when the Qin army was preparing to cross the river, they found that there was a Xia State naval army on the Chen River, as well as the Black Flag Army that made the Qin army talk about it.
It turned out that after the crisis appeared, Su Jie had to ask the Black Flag Army for help.
This is the right thing to show in the middle......
