Wei Zheng said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day..."
Fang Xuanling said: "Xuancheng, what do you mean..."
Wei Zhengdao: "We must come up with a military strategy as soon as possible. We would rather suffer for three years than solve the Turkic problem!"
Fang Xuanling looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window and said, "Xuancheng... are you going to the Provincial Political Affairs Hall?"
……
Da'an Palace in Chang'an City.
Li Yuan and his son sat beside the case for a night banquet.
In the middle of the main hall, several dancers danced to the music.
Li Jiancheng lazily picked up the dishes on the plate with his chopsticks.Whenever Li Jiancheng picked up a piece of meat or dish, Li Jiancheng would put it back on the plate.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled slightly: "Da Lang, are you still thinking about the war in Mobei?"
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Father, isn't your son too greedy?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "It's the same for my father. The Turks have threatened the Central Plains for hundreds of years. It's hard to wipe them out overnight!"
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Son, it's just a pity. The Turks have never been as weak as they are today in the past hundred years. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to eradicate them."
Li Yuan said disapprovingly: "On the grassland, there are so many tribes besides the Turks. If the Turks are wiped out today, a new dynasty may emerge tomorrow. If you want to eradicate external troubles, you can't count on a single battle." .”
Li Jiancheng nodded and continued listlessly: "My son is taught."
In fact, Li Jiancheng figured it out.
Grasslands have been the confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were Dog Rong, and later there was the Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Huns perished, it finally became history, but the grassland did not become peaceful because of this, but the Xianbei began to rise.
After Xianbei Xiong dominated the Central Plains for more than 200 years, the Rouran people began to rise again.
After the decline of the Rouran people, the Turks rose.
In fact, Li Jiancheng took it for granted.
Even after the collapse of the Turks, the Khitan people who had been splinted for hundreds of years on the grassland began to rise, and after the fall of the Khitan there were Jurchen, Mongolia, and the Manchus.
In fact, the past dynasties have not resolved the grassland crisis.
Li Jiancheng was full of thoughts, and unconsciously got a little drunk.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng was drunk, Li Yuan didn't persuade him to drink anymore.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Jiancheng offered to leave.
When Li Jiancheng left Da'an Palace, he didn't feel sleepy. He saw the bright lights under the gate, so he ordered the driver to move and walked towards the gate.
In the province under the door, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenhuaji, Wang Gui, and Gao Shilian were all reviewing the memorial and discussing countermeasures.
Looking at the mountain of files on the case table, Wei Zheng said calmly, "Today we are going to discuss... the long-term war preparations against the Turks. Xuancheng, what do you think?
Fang Xuanling had just sat down, and hurriedly searched for the documents on the table, while flipping through, he said: "I have a preliminary plan here, which is still too simple, so I can take it out first and show it to everyone... Wait for the battle After the end, the states and counties in the north will report detailed statistics and make adjustments..."
Yang Gongren was about to speak, when he stood up, he saw Li Jiancheng coming from outside.
Li Jiancheng gestured to Yang Gongren, signaling Yang Gongren to keep quiet.
Fang Xuanling looked down at the documents and said: "According to the statistics reported by Li Jing, our army defeated 23 Turkic horses this time, annihilated 12 of them, and captured more than 8000 Turkic men and women, as well as cattle and sheep. There were more than 17 miscellaneous animals. Before the war broke out, the Ministry of War reported that there were 35 Turkic cavalry, 110 million male and female troops, and more than 300 million cattle, sheep, and miscellaneous animals..."
……
At the same time, the northwest slope of Shengle City, which was originally an inconspicuous hill, actually increased by more than ten feet in the past half month.It's just that no one noticed.
After Chen Ying arrived at this unknown hillside outside Shengle City, he used the mountain's situation to set up the entire sleigh ride overnight.The sled is connected with the sled to form a car city passage with a width of one foot and two feet and a height of about eight feet.More than [-] sleds will form a snow city covering an area of more than two standard football fields.
This snowy city not only has complete stables, forage fields, grain depots, canteens, and even bathhouses where hot water can be soaked.
After Chen Ying arrived here, he used the Tiger Yi Cong and the Dingyuan Army's elite scouts to closely monitor the battle of Dingxiang and Baidao, and at the same time closely monitor Shengle City.
It is an exaggeration to say that Sheng Le flew out a mosquito, and Chen Ying would know about it, but if Xieli's rout arrived here, Chen Ying would definitely know about it as soon as possible.
More than [-] troops, not too many, not too few, gathered together, especially in a narrow space, it is no exaggeration to say that the submarine soldiers of later generations have more room to move than the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army at this time big.
However, there is no alternative.
Chen Ying summoned all officers, especially officers above the captaincy level, to teach.Tomorrow let the school lieutenant, deputy lieutenant Guo Yi and Zhechong capital study, and then, in the evening, the school lieutenant and lieutenant Zhechong will transfer the teaching to the brigade commander, team leader, and team leader.
Of course, space is limited.
Chen Ying can only teach in batches.
Facing the new batch of lieutenant officers, Chen Ying said slowly: "War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the direct manifestation of people's livelihood and economy. In other words, the ultimate purpose of war is to earn money, food, population and In terms of territory, all profitable wars for the army are wars with definite goals. On the contrary, they are all unnecessary wars! In a word, the profit and loss must be calculated in war. A general who does not calculate the profit and loss is unqualified General!"
Chen Ying's words are absolutely earth-shattering in this era.
Liu Rengui carefully recorded every word and deed of Chen Ying with a charcoal pencil.
Chen Ying talked a lot, and the reasoning was very simple: "It's useless to understand the reasoning. If there is no solution, can just talking about it change the overall situation? Let's take the current situation as an example. If the battle has reached this point, if you Li Jing, General Li, you are about to order the withdrawal of your troops, right? Leave two troops around Zhechong Mansion to defend the territory, pull the brigade back to rest, and use Xinzhou as a strategically prominent part, or a strategic buffer zone. Back-and-forth in this area, is it?"
The generals nodded deeply.
Chen Ying went on to say: "Winning a place is not just as simple as a few white-blade charges. Otherwise, it will be lost again. It is better not to fight! To be able to attack, you must be able to defend. You must turn nothing into something, turn the enemy into me, and turn the guest into the enemy." Lord, wars are not just about the military, the right time, the right place, and the right people, you can’t wait. It’s one thing to conquer a city, but it’s another thing to take over a city, control it, and make use of it!”
Liu Rengui and other generals were already stupefied, and he subconsciously asked, "Is this possible?"
Chen Ying smiled lightly and said: "There is nothing impossible to do in the world, only doing and not doing it can be distinguished! Doing it is better than not doing it well. Even if you do it, you may not be able to have results, but if you don't do it, it will be forever." It will not be effective! Since we send troops to attack the Turks, it will be a life-and-death battle. This kind of battle is to fight for the right time, the right place, and the harmony between people, and everything will be fought!"
……
Shengle City, the so-called Shengle City.It was the capital of the Dai State, the predecessor of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Later, Tuobagui took advantage of the fragmentation of the former Qin Dynasty to claim himself as the King of Dai in Niuchuan, and rebuilt the State of Dai.
However, as the Wei State became stronger and stronger, the capital was moved to Pingcheng, and later, the capital was moved to Luoyang.
Shengle has only been the capital of Wei State for two years. Of course, Shengle City is not big, and it has been abandoned for too long.The scale of the city walls here is not even as good as that of Bogulu City.
Of course, even a dilapidated city is more comfortable than a cold tent.
At this time, the Eastern Turkic Khan Ashina Sunisi summoned the special forces under his command, and said carefully: "Dingxiang has been lost, Baidao has also been lost, and even Shengle is in danger now, and the six enemy forces will join forces soon. Li Shiji, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong join forces, and the situation on the Eastern Front cannot be reversed. Now it seems that the Yinshan line is the main direction of the enemy's attack, there should be no doubts!"
None of the secret agents made a comment, they raised their heads to look at Ashina Suni, and said, "Shehan, what do you think?"
Ashina Suni sighed and did not speak.
Ashina Zhong on the side interjected: "I don't know what the big plan is, but this time we are not going to attack others. They are attacking us, attacking Pingcheng. The worst thing we can do is to withdraw our troops. Now they are occupying our Shengle. If it is not possible, we will withdraw our troops, right? We must withdraw. Where will we withdraw? Three Li joined forces, with 20 soldiers, where should we withdraw? Is it true that we will wait for others to force us to go to the North Sea (that is, Lake Baikal)?"
