"It should be her." Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all agreed.
This charming but scheming princess of the Xia Kingdom really left a deep impression on everyone.
Fortunately, the king's strategy was not inferior to hers, and he did not fall into her beauty trap, so he was able to defeat her. Not only did he eradicate Xian Daotang's power in Kaifeng and Gyeonggi, he also forced her to return to Xia Kingdom.
"Well, we will record this and report it to His Highness King Jian." Zhang Shuye turned to Liu Kai and said, "Continue!"
"On September 21, Xia's army of 200,000 troops was led by Wei Minglinu, the Minister of Economic Affairs, and marched south across the Six Ridges. Weiminglinu was a member of the royal family of the Hexi family and the ancestor (big leader) of the Party people.
He is a famous general of the Hexi family."
"Among the 200,000 Xia troops, there were 10,000 captured soldiers and 5,000 Bubazi. In addition to Zhuoluo and the Nanjun Division headquarters, the rest were from Xishou Baotai, Weizhou Jingsai and Xiangqing troops.
Drawn."
Having said this, Liu Kai sneered a few times, his face showing excitement.
"The king's guess is correct. The biggest problem of the Hexi family is the shortage of troops. The main forces of Xishou Baotai and Weizhou Jingsai have been transferred, but our army on the opposite side is ready to move. The Hexi family does not dare to take it lightly, so they have to follow
Send troops elsewhere to fill in."
"Facing us in the Song Dynasty, the three armies of the Zuoxiang Shenyong (southeast of today's Yulin, Shaanxi), Shizhou Xiangyou (southwest of today's Yulin), and Youzhou Jianing (southwest of today's Wushen Banner, Inner Mongolia) did not dare to move lightly and could only mobilize some troops.
"
"The rest of the troops came from Youxiang to Chaoshun (now southwest of Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia), Baimaqiang Town (now north Jilantai, Alxa Left Banner), Ganzhou Gansu (now Zhangye, Gansu), Guazhou Xiping (now southeast of Anxi),
Heishan Weifu (southeast of today's Urad Hou Banner) and other military divisions, as well as Xingqing Prefecture, were transferred."
Zhang Shuye interrupted Liu Kai's words.
"Zhong Yan, please stop for a moment. Now let's discuss why the king launched a large-scale war in Huangzhong? What is his strategic intention?"
Everyone thought for a while, and Gao Yongnian raised his hand first and got the right to speak.
"The general feels that the king's strategic intentions are threefold. One is to plan for the land in the middle of Huangzhong and the West Sea to expand the territory. The other is that there are hundreds of thousands of tribes in the land of Huangzhong, and they all work for their own affairs. It can be used by the Hexi family, or it can be used by the Hexi family.
They can be won over by us and then subdued and reorganized. Third, we can mobilize the forces of other military divisions of the Hexi family to achieve results on other fronts."
Gao Yongnian got Zhang Shuye's nod of acquiescence, stood up, walked to the big map on the front wall, pointed to a place and said excitedly.
"Everyone, please see, the land in Huangzhong in the West Sea is right in the middle of the Hexi family's territory. It is also a place where the military strength of the twelve supervisory military divisions of the Hexi family is relatively weak. If you want to fill the military strength here, you must recruit from the east and west military divisions.
Massively mobilize troops, and a single move can affect the whole body."
"What's even better is that although Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi are located in the middle of Hexi, from the map, the distance to the east and west is almost the same. But to the west are the Qilian Mountains and the Gobi. The road is difficult. If you want to go from Ganzhou to Gansu and Guazhou to Xiping
, Black Mountain Weifu and other military commanders mobilize troops, which takes a lot of time and effort."
"The most convenient way is to mobilize troops from Xishou Baotai, Weizhou Jingsai and Xiangqing armies in the east. Then, we can mobilize troops from Zuoxiang Shenyong, Shizhou Xiangyou and Youzhou Jianing to fill the vacancies in these places. But the deployment
Soldiers always take time. But the king's actions in Huangzhong were fast and urgent. He started sending out troops only two days after arriving in Lanzhou. If the Hexi family wanted to catch up, they had to quickly mobilize their troops and generals. There was no way around it.
room."
Gao Yongnian's finger drew a line on the map, the border between Qinfeng, Jingyuan, Huanqing 3rd Road and Xishou Baotai and Weizhou Jingsai, and continued.
"According to the king's deployment, General Zhong Pu is stationed in Pingxia City, and General Zhe Keshi is stationed in Huanzhou, commanding Zhong Jianzhong, Yao Gu, Wang Wenzhen, Zhu Zhiyong and other generals, using Xishou Baotai, Weizhou Jingsai Military Division
Take advantage of the opportunity when your troops are empty, and attack in time."
At this time Liu Kai added a few words.
"That's right. The two generals Zhong Pu and Zhe Ke Shi, in accordance with the king's instructions, took advantage of the lack of troops in the two armies of the Xia army and boldly used the tactics of interspersion and division."
"The first force penetrated directly behind the Xia Army's stronghold and cut off the Xia Army's reinforcements. The main force surrounded the target stronghold, cut off water sources and food routes, and used rocket fire cans. They conquered the Dabao Stronghold in Duoling one by one, and the Qingyuan Military Fort in Shanyikou and Hengshan.
Xia Toad Village, Qinglan Gorge and other key pass cities."
Zhang Shuye asked at this time: "Let me ask you again, why did the Hexi family not have a strong sense of resistance when our army was advancing in Jingyuan and Huanqing, and did not fight for every inch of territory with our army like before?"
Master Zhong thought for a while, raised his hand and answered.
"First, the Xia Army's Xishou Baotai and Weizhou Jingsai armies are insufficient in strength, and reinforcements from elsewhere have not yet arrived, so they are no longer able to fight a war of attrition with our army. The top priority is to hold on to key towns in the hinterland, and for the border
We can only give up temporarily on the fortified city."
"Secondly, the Xia army has great confidence in defeating our army in Huangzhong, and may be preparing to pursue them to Lan, Xi, Gong, Qin and other states to wreak havoc in the hinterland of Qinfeng and Jingyuan Road. I
The usual style of the Xia army before was that when they won a big victory, they were very cautious and did not dare to take advantage of the victory. When they were defeated, the whole army collapsed and was routed thousands of miles away. The Xia army launched a counterattack across the board and recovered everything. So they don't care about our army for the time being.
"
Regarding Master Zhong's answer, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but applaud. Everyone also applauded together.
Looking at the high-spirited planting masters, Gao Yongnian, and the generals sitting with them, Zhang Shuye thought of Zhao Si's explanation.
In the past, generals and officers were brought up by their fathers on the battlefield, relying on the teachings from family members and personal insights on the battlefield of life and death.
The success rate of the generals trained in this way is too low, and they all have major flaws.
They must use "scientific" methods for training. They first learn the combat theories summarized by their predecessors in the school, and then improve their strategic and tactical levels through review and deduction of battles.
Finally, temper them in actual combat so that the truly talented can shine.
According to King Jian's theory, the army command system is in the shape of a cone. At the bottom are well-trained soldiers who obey military discipline, follow military orders; at the top are junior officers and non-commissioned officers who have certain tactical qualities and take the lead bravely.
They are the important foundation of the entire army.
At the top are qualified mid-level and senior officers and generals. At the top are the so-called famous generals and coaches.
No matter what method is used to train them, they are rare and rare. However, it is indeed feasible to train a group of qualified low- and mid-level officers and generals to become the backbone of the entire army.
Zhang Shuye has been involved in the establishment of the training team and the training of these trusted officers. He has seen the changes in Gao Yongnian. Just like other generals, they are so remarkable and gratifying.
Presumably, it won't be long before these generals personally led by His Highness King Jian will become the backbone of the Western Army and even the entire Song Army.
Zhang Shuye suppressed his thoughts, looked around at everyone, and asked again.
"General Yongnian just mentioned three points about His Highness's strategic intentions. Let me ask again, apart from these three points, does anyone have anything to add?" This chapter has been completed!
