Chapter 303: Recruiting New Troops
But fortunately, there was no big mistake, no loss of soldiers, this is the best result, yes, I couldn't expect Liu Yongchang to kill Jiang Huai like this, it's really unpredictable.
It is a pity that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is really not possible to predict everything in advance, just like the previous thing, the battle plan for the two-way offensive that had been prepared was because of the death of Jianghuai, which caused the three armies to shake, and the offensive was forced to stop, giving the enemy time to breathe.
Because both sides couldn't do it for a while, the army of the imperial court lost countless losses after a big defeat, although the Jiang family's army suffered few losses, but the dragons had no leader, and the army was not aligned, which made the problem even greater, so the two armies couldn't help but confront each other in Zhijun and Yunzhou, and there were not many major wars over the years, because the Jiang family stabilized the situation, and the imperial court also added reinforcements, and the two armies faced each other, if there was not enough chance of winning, they would not dare to carry out such a large-scale campaign at will, unless it was forced to do so, or it was forced to fight!
Therefore, at this time, Jianghuai is the top of the generals who have to obey the order!
Jiang Yunlong is in a hurry, no matter what, he must draw troops from here to support where the panic war, where is the core gladiatorial arena of the two sides, one side is wrecked, that means that the battle situation is completely rewritten, that is, the last losing side, the core elite are there, once defeated, it is very likely that there will be no strength for a battle for a few years or even longer, this is a big matter, so the two sides have become a stalemate, no one dares to withdraw the army easily, but the loss is too great, no matter which side is about to be unable to support it, and now the pressure is greater than the family。
Therefore, it is imperative to transfer troops from Yunzhou, and after Jianghuai is promoted, although he is still in the name of supervising the army, he must nod and agree to all important military affairs.
In Jianghuai's big tent, everyone's face is very bad, first, to mobilize the army, it is undoubtedly to weaken Yunzhou's defense capability, but also to ensure that they keep Yunzhou, which is difficult for some strong people, but the general trend of the world is like this, they can only pinch their noses.
Yes, Jiang Huai almost died here at the beginning, although the rear did not hold them responsible, but now that Jiang Huai is back, it is really hard to say whether it will be a personal vendetta, so everyone is very worried, that is, Lin Changfeng is a little uncertain, although he still understands Jiang Huai a little, but if he goes through life and death, it will change greatly in the details of the individual, so I don't know.
However, the generals looked at Jianghuai and didn't seem to have changed, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to report some important military information and military affairs, some of which were to ask Jianghuai to nod, although Jianghuai was a supervisor of the army, but it could represent the rear, so there was no need to extend the decision-making time, so that Jianghuai could understand the military situation in Yunzhou as soon as possible, so as not to let the layman command the insider, and if there was a mess, they would be the ones who would bear the blame at that time.
However, Jianghuai has walked in the sky and on the ground, it has indeed changed a lot, more calm, before it was like a hairy boy, sometimes it was rough, but after this time it seemed a lot more stable, in the face of some military information, military affairs asked more questions, but did not often draw conclusions but let the generals discuss a result first, and then Jianghuai was slightly modified, and it became a decision.
The generals couldn't help but be overjoyed, and only hoped that Jianghuai would do the same in the future, and that would be really good.
After Lin Changfeng and the other generals retreated, Jiang Yan walked over from the back hall and said, "When you faced the generals and the military situation this time, you seemed to be much calmer, and you didn't draw conclusions easily, and you had the style of a general. ”
Jiang Huai shook his head and said: "One person is short, two people are long, before the enemy in love ventured, although the army won the battle, but I have been thinking carefully in the past few days, and found that it is not actually a good opportunity, just by chance, the enemy failed to block our first offensive, if it is blocked, Yunzhou is in danger, in fact, it is a very big adventure, but what Yunzhou wants here is not to take risks, you can not go forward, but you must not go back, and then retreat to the rich land of Jiangnan."
Where the population is dense, and loyal to the Jiang family, if there is a good one, there will be problems in the logistics of conscription in the future, although the influence of the Jiang family in the seven provinces of Jiangbei is not small, but it is not as important as Jiangnan. Therefore, here in Yunzhou, the core responsibility is to defend Yunzhou and the north gate of the south of the Yangtze River! This is the most important thing, the so-called expansion of territory, not here, but where the eldest brother and the second brother are, that is the victory or defeat is the real victory or defeat. ”
Jiang Yan couldn't help nodding frequently when she heard this, knowing that what Jiang Huai said was true, once Yunzhou's outward offensive was contained, or the troops were lost, it would be bad, it was very likely that someone would catch the flaw and kill you directly to your hinterland, the responsibility would be great, and the loss was completely incomparable compared to the gain, no wonder Jiang Huai was calm in yoga at this time, of course, there was less offensiveness.
But this is a good thing, but Jiang Huai is also a little annoyed, when he ordered the march, he didn't see this, it was a rash advance, but the whole army knew that there were many people in it, but no one told him, one by one, they were all rats who had become fine!
Yunzhou sat in front of a few cases, looking at Yunzhou's military situation, secretly annoyed.
At this time, Yunzhou had a total of 500,000 defenders, which was later recruited by Yunfeng, in any case, it was a victory, and a lot of materials were captured, and later Lin Changfeng and Zhang Mingxuan discussed, and after getting confirmation from the Jiang family, they established a new arsenal in Yunzhou, recruited new troops, and gathered 500,000 troops, and trained for more than half a year, and a combination of 300,000 veterans and 200,000 new troops has been formally formed.
Moreover, with the Yunzhou Arsenal and the continuous flow of logistics, as long as the defenders do not make big mistakes, Yunzhou has become a city of gold and stone that can never be attacked!
Originally, these were very sufficient, but now it seems that in the face of the entire war situation, Jianghuai still has to expand its troops, because Jianghuai wants to take away the army from here, and once there are too many, it will directly destroy Yunzhou's defense capability!
Before coming, Jiang Lei gave the order to recruit at least 500,000 troops within a year, and then lead 700,000 troops to Jiang Yunlong to support, and this is just a small number, Jiang Lei said that if you want to recover the decline, you need more troops, and 700,000 is also a drop in the bucket!
Jianghuai's time is at most a year and a half, if he goes too late, Jiang Yunlong will not be saved, and this is still enough time to rush for a year and a half!
