Chapter 1346 Zhu Wen’s offensive strategy
Seeing Zhu Wen being slightly stunned, Fan Huazang immediately felt a little regretful.
This question is too disrespectful to Emperor Liang Wu.
Does he dare to return to Beilin Province?
Although I don’t know the details, his military power is almost being ousted by Prince Zhu Zhen. What if something happens after he returns?
Who can guarantee this?
However, Emperor Wu of Liang was not an ordinary person. His methods and abilities were not something ordinary people could predict, and he should not be easily dealt with by the prince...
"I won't go back for the time being."
Zhu Wen said: "I will continue to fight with the border guards!"
"Border Guards?"
Fan Huazang knew that in preparation for the cross-river battle, the Liang Army had transferred two large legions to Shangshui County, namely the Border Guard Army and the Border Guard Army.
All the border guards died in Changjiang. Some of the border guards survived, but later they suffered from the plague and some people died. The number of troops was probably less than 100,000.
There are 600,000 people in the two armies, but the final result is like this. It is strange that the morale of the coalition forces is good.
Liang Jun prepared a total of five large legions, each with 300,000 men, but now even half of them are gone.
It's really hard to accept.
Fan Huazang was in mourning, and the Wei army's losses were also not small.
If there is no chance, we can really retreat...
"The border guards will be mobilized in a few days. Waiting for the arrival of Wei Jun, we will launch an attack on the enemy!"
"What about Beilin Province?"
"They will attack simultaneously."
Fan Huazang confirmed again: "Is it okay?"
"Don't doubt Liang Jun's determination to defeat Daning, especially Prince Zhu Zhen..."
Zhu Wen's words reassured Fan Huazang.
Today, Fan Huazang gave up on military training and instead took a break to prepare for the upcoming attack.
He has summoned many generals to start formulating a battle plan.
Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Zhu Wen also participated.
"The war is quite difficult for us, and it is even more difficult for the enemy. There is one key point... that is logistical supplies!"
Zhu Wen did his part.
With his status and status, he naturally has a great say.
Fighting is actually about logistics.
Only a strong enough national power can support the consumption of war.
In fact, Wei and Liang no longer considered these things. They just wanted to win and did not consider the domestic situation at all.
Just like the Liang Kingdom, it was completely broken.
Fan Huazang was slightly startled.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Wei State, and he also knows more inside information. Due to the rapid depreciation of the Wei Baoguan, serious problems have arisen in the country.
It’s just that there is currently no impact on the front line. I believe that as time goes by, this impact will become greater and greater...
Let’s talk about logistical supplies.
Our side is actually the same as Daning, even worse than Daning...
"Due to the early defeat, we have lost our strength advantage, so we must pay more attention to results in the subsequent war."
"Isn't this nonsense?"
In the base camp of the Wei army in Ancheng, there are naturally the majority of Wei generals.
They all felt disdainful when they heard what Zhu Wen said.
Who can't talk on paper?
What matters is the offensive strategy.
Zhu Wen continued: "The next offensive strategy of the coalition should not be to annihilate the enemy...but to destroy!"
He stated his intention in a deep voice.
While the army was resting, he spent the whole day studying military maps and war situations.
In war, the first step is to determine the offensive strategy, that is, the main target direction.
In the future, all military deployments must be aimed at achieving this goal, otherwise it will become a mess without any rules.
Zhu Wen wanted to determine the overall strategy for the next attack. This was a very important matter and would naturally arouse objections.
At that moment, someone said: "The goal of the attack is naturally to destroy the enemy. I wonder what you mean by destruction?"
"Isn't this a lack of prioritization?"
Although Zhu Wen was Emperor Liang, he still had to be given enough respect. Naturally, not just anyone could raise objections.
The speaker was an old man in his fifties, wearing a general's armor, sitting upright with dignity.
This man's name is Zhang Shen, and he is the new governor of the Wei State Governor's Office.
Former Governor Xin Yuanbai went to pick up Yu Wenxiong and was blown up to death. Not even his body was found.
It turned out that the new Grand Governor was not a person specialized in military affairs, but had a literati temperament.
Zhu Wen explained patiently: "We have lost our advantage in military strength, so we have to conserve our troops. Daning is in an emergency situation with a powerful enemy. It is unknown how chaotic the country is. Why should we fight head-on with the enemy?"
"Everyone, there is a question that must be considered. Although the Western Region's attack on Daning is beneficial to us, when the war is over, the Western Region will also be our enemy!"
Everyone was slightly startled.
This is not an overthinking, but an actual problem, and it is considered a precautionary measure.
They all understood what Emperor Wu of Liang meant.
Let Daning and the Western Regions compete head-on to consume each other, thus reaping the benefits.
Of course, it’s not like they do nothing, they want to cause destruction...
"The important area of Daning is in the south. The reason why its logistics supply can cope with it is because the country has not been affected and normal production is still maintained."
Fan Huazang nodded.
Wei Jun invaded Huaizhou, but Daning took the initiative to give in. All the people evacuated and left the empty city behind, while everything in Jiangzhou, Huaizhou, Yongzhou and other places was as usual.
The front lines are fighting, the rear areas are still farming, and everyone is engaged in normal production.
Obviously, this was the result that Daning had anticipated in advance.
"We're going to wreak havoc!"
Zhu Wen showed a trace of anger on his face.
He said coldly: "We want to destroy Daning's normal production, its farming, textiles, business operations, and even the normal lives of the people!"
"Without the support of national strength, its army will inevitably be unable to support it, and victory will belong to us... We will burn, kill, loot, and even massacre the city when necessary!"
Everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this.
War itself is not a humane thing, but there are some bottom lines... such as massacre of a city.
There was a war between two countries a long time ago, and one side had a cruel general who often committed massacres and massacres.
Too many people died and caused a plague, which caused great disaster to the people of both countries.
Since then, a tacit agreement has been formed not to massacre the city.
Now, Zhu Wen brought it up.
His face was grim.
"There is no retreat for the Wei and Liang countries in this war. If people must die, I would rather die than the enemy. As long as we can win, I will do whatever it takes!"
"What Emperor Liang said is absolutely true."
Surprisingly, the new governor of Wei State was the first to praise him after hearing everything.
"War itself has no morality, and there is no distinction between good and evil in the swords of soldiers."
Zhang Shen said: "Whoever wins will write history. I believe that the strategy proposed by Emperor Liang is feasible. On the premise of preserving the strength of the army, we can avoid the enemy's sharp edge and destroy the enemy country!"
"Right now, I have a plan. If it succeeds, it will definitely cause heavy damage to the enemy country!"
"oh?"
Zhu Wen became interested and asked, "I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
