Chapter 311: A dilemma
It stands to reason that as the third-in-command in the army, second only to Zhang Mingxuan and Jianghuai, there is no need to come in person, but Lin Changfeng is used to being Jianghuai's strategist, and he has also been immersed in the military officialdom for many years.
This is also why Zhang Mingxuan killed Ge Changqing at the beginning, but later he was like a person with Lin Changfeng, without him, he just knew each other, he knew what position he was, and he always honestly guarded his duty, such a person is still useful, no matter who he is, he is not easy to trouble him.
However, Lin Changfeng, the governor of Lin Dadu, who is cautious and cautious on weekdays, is like burning his butt today, which really frightened Jiang Huai a lot, and his heart is not the enemy attacking the city? But now that Jiang Huai is smart and has a smart ear, the intelligence system of the army has long been set up, there are tens of thousands of intelligence personnel who have been widely dispersed, and the short-range communication jade talismans are all equipped, how can there be such a thing as a sudden siege of the city?
"Changfeng, don't worry, sit! What's the big deal, make my Kong Ming anxious like this?" Jiang Huai stretched out his hand to pull Lin Changfeng, who was burning his buttocks, told him to sit down, smiled, and said.
Lin Changfeng arched his hand and said: "Young Master, our military intelligence personnel have already sent a large amount of information, and the Military Intelligence Department has speculated and studied it in a unified manner with the General Staff of the Governor's Mansion, and finally came to the conclusion that there is a large number of troops secretly assisting Zhijun, at least 500,000 people, plus the people from Zhijun, adding up to about 8.9 million people! Once this happens, it will be difficult for us to leave Yunzhou in a short period of time, and the original plan was that the Ninth Army, It is unlikely that the Tenth Army will stay behind, they will add up to 300,000 people, it will be difficult to defend against it, at least two armies must be left, and we can still leave smoothly. ”
Jiang Huai fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the worst is coming, he is here to expand his armaments, where will people not know, the news is transmitted, after all, it has attracted reinforcements, this is tricky If you want to transfer enough troops to leave Yunzhou in a short period of time, I am afraid it is not good.
If Jianghuai is entangled here, what impact will it have on the war situation, it is really difficult to speculate, if it is because Yunzhou was not able to send reinforcements in time, resulting in a comprehensive defeat, then they will be responsible, Jianghuai is the Jiang family, but there is no need to have him, but the name of waste is not able to run, of course, this is the case that the four great families have not been cut down and eradicated, as for these officers, there is really no other way except death.
Eight or nine hundred thousand people, properly operated, if you want to hold one and a half million people for three and five years, it is really not too simple, not to mention that the military situation is ever-changing, it was originally planned to be pulled out next month, it seems that it is almost a fool's dream, and even once the establishment is disabled, the consequences are almost unpredictable, and it is no wonder that Lin Changfeng is so anxious, even when Jiang Huai heard it, he also felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and this news was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky.
Although the responsibility of the Jianghuai Department is to deploy military forces to assist Jiang Yunlong's frontal battlefield, once Yunzhou is lost, the army will drive straight in, and the seven roads in Jiangnan will be lost, and the loss will be the strength of a family, not to mention that Jianghuai is a member of the Jiang family, so the Jianghuai Department suddenly fell into a dilemma.
After being silent for a while, he looked at the anxious Lin Changfeng, let out a long breath, and then said: "Beat the drum and pass the general, convene the highest military meeting, and all the senior commanders of the military level and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will be present to discuss countermeasures!"
"The commanders of the various armies, the commanders and the commanders, the commanders, and the governor's office have all been summoned overnight, and are now waiting for the young master in the lobby! I have just received the news, and I have already given the order!"
Jiang Huai nodded and said no more.
The two of them took three steps and made two steps, but at tea time, they had already come to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Huai took a look, stepped in, sat on the unicorn chair behind the long case, and held the tiger head handles on both sides, with a dignified look and a majestic attitude.
The generals didn't say much, bowed their heads, and shouted: "See the big handsome!"
"No courtesy, give a seat!" Jiang Huai waved his hand, pressed his hand on a few cases, and looked at his subordinates, although he did not often meet these people directly, but he often entered the barracks to comfort the officers and soldiers, these people are also quite familiar, but when I saw them today, I felt completely different, the breath and majesty on weekdays were all put away, and the rest were all fierce fighting spirit!
This is not the credit of Jiang Huai, this is the credit of Zhang Mingxuan and Lin Changfeng, who can go from a plate of loose sand after Jiang Huai's death to a piece of iron bucket today, the two of them have made great contributions, of course, this is also Jiang Lei's military background, and the army has been sharpened over the years!
Nowadays, among the 1.5 million Jianghuai army, the centurion and above commanders have directly participated in long-term wars, and they don't know how many battles they have fought on the border, which is also the key factor for the army to be able to quickly reorganize and integrate.
Of course, then again, if there weren't so many elites, Jiang Lei wouldn't have been at ease about putting his baby son here, of course, the facts may be a little different from what Jiang Lei thought, the army here can be regarded as elite, but Yunzhou is no longer as calm as he originally expected.
The generals took their places according to their words, Jianghuai sat facing south, Zhang Mingxuan was the first on Jianghuai's left hand, facing west; Lin Changfeng was first on Jianghuai's right hand, sitting opposite Zhang Mingxuan, facing east, this is the order of the three commanders, and then there are ten army commanders, and the others have to stand, and they are really not qualified to sit at this level of meeting.
Zhang Mingxuan looked around and said, "General Liu, let's talk about the specific situation!"
A few months ago, Jianghuai reorganized the Military Intelligence Command Department and promoted him to be a commander, and he was treated with the same command and knowledge of the army, which can be regarded as a step to the sky, and in the past few months, he has done things in an orderly manner, and the training of the newly added military intelligence personnel is very good, and he can be regarded as a cadre general! It can be regarded as slowly quelling the criticism in the army.
In fact, simply counting the number of subordinates under him, it is enough to be at the level of a deputy commander of the army, but the old system in the army has never had many officials, and tens of thousands of people are in charge of it, that is, it is only one and a half levels higher than the commander of a thousand commanders, which is also the position often used as a transfer level, and as a result, the military intelligence system is very chaotic, and some people with insufficient ability have become bosses, wasting a lot of important military information.
Jianghuai has promoted the status of the Military Intelligence Department, which is also to make the army's nose, ears, and eyes more sensitive.
Liu Heqing walked over from the side, asked the two young generals to unfold a huge map, and then said, "Generals, the situation is worse than expected!"
