Chapter 920: Brainstorming
"Senator Sima formulated a new battle plan and marked the operational maps of each department, which should be completed within one hour."
Since there is a Senate Department with continuous improvement of functions and growing personnel, it only needs to be formulated in place, and Li Zhongyi, the commander of the army, no longer needs to be entangled in cumbersome affairs.
The new establishment of the Senate Department is unusually huge, almost all-encompassing, and it has more than a dozen rooms under its jurisdiction, including a war room, an ordnance room, a map room, a quartermaster room, an artillery room, a liaison room, a room for the retained soldiers, a room for foreign domains, and a room for military law.
Among them, the most important is the war room, which is responsible for formulating and garrisoning operational plans, and issuing combat orders to the whole army after approval by the commander-in-chief.
At present, the war room has one chief officer and three non-officers. Due to the vital function of the war room, Yang Wushuang, the secretary of the Tongzhi Senate, temporarily served as Lang Zhong.
At the same time, in order to supervise the work of the Senate Department and ensure that military secrets were not leaked, Li Zhongyi dispatched Li Haodong, who was also the secretary of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, to serve as the Secretary of the Senate of the Tongzhi Counsellor General, in charge of the affairs of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, the Razor's Room, and the Foreign Domain's Office.
The Judge Advocate General's Office, nominally responsible for military justice matters, in fact, assumes the functions of the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff.
Li Haodong's reputation on the outside is not good, in fact, not only is he very old, but he also has a particularly flexible brain and has the talent to engage in secret front affairs.
Since Li Zhongyi Hechi established the army, Li Haodong has been the commander of the township shuaiya corps, and after so many years, he has accumulated merit and been promoted to the secretary of military justice.
The Department of Military Justice, which is responsible for supervising every move of the entire Li Jiajun and ensuring that military orders are uploaded and issued unimpeded, is a full-time intelligence agency that focuses on the internal focus.
The chief officer of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, the first principal and the second deputy, and the chief officer, the Governor of the Military Judge Advocate General, is Zuo Ziguang, Zuo Jiangming, who was temporarily sent to Kaifeng on business.
Li Yanqing, another fellow military judge general, is very serious in his work, even to the point of being harsh, and the fly in the ointment is that he does not have much talent for intelligence. Therefore, Li Zhongyi arranged for Li Yanqing to supervise and verify the authenticity of military orders and grasp any movements of the troops.
As for Li Haodong, Li Zhongyi knew people well, and used his strengths to let him collect and sort out the movements of Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Yelu Xiuge, the Khitan royal family and King Xi.
These are all military arrangements, as for the internal measures of the court, especially the political affairs hall, Li Zhongyi's ally, Li Qiong, who is also a lonely minister, assisted in collecting and reporting to Li Zhongyi.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi's ability to collect military intelligence can be described as a remarkable achievement.
However, above the temple, because Li Zhongyi was not treated well by the scholar and civil official group, he was repeatedly scolded as a copper stinker, and the sources of information were unusually narrow, and the timeliness of news was always several beats slower.
To put it bluntly, among the senior civil officials above the fourth rank who hold the power of the court, Li Zhongyi is only Li Qiong, which can be imagined embarrassing and difficult.
However, Li Zhongyi didn't care about the discriminatory attitude of the civilian clique towards him, and the one who was strong and strong was the emperor, which was the eternal meta-rule.
Only a rhetorical show can rebel, not to mention three years of failure, even if it is 100 million years, it will not be successful.
After the thieves broke through the city of Beijing, the royal relatives and ministers in the capital obediently raised their hands and surrendered under the sharp butcher's knife.
What is ridiculous is that the Wenchen bureaucracy expected the first day of the new year, but did not expect that the thieves would settle accounts after the autumn. The money they were reluctant to lend to Chongzhen, as well as their beautiful families, in the blink of an eye, they all became the thieves' own pockets, which is really a pity.
Today, Li Zhongyi is facing a similar situation. Since the civilian-bureaucratic clique looks down on him as a copper stinker and resolutely refuses to cooperate with him, then in the future, don't blame Li Zhongyi for brazenly digging up the foundation of their monopoly of power and wealth.
While Yang Wushuang was nervously formulating a new battle plan, the scolders who were monitoring Yelu Shouting along the way kept coming to report the latest situation on Yelu's side.
At this time, you can see the benefits of the huge car. Li Zhongyi did not need to get off the train, nor did he need to set up a big tent, he could sit directly in the carriage and command the army to fight.
The complete map of Nanjing Road made by the map room is spread out at Li Zhongyi's feet, and what he holds in his hand is a detailed map of the geography near Anxi.
After comparing the latest battle report and the two maps, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and show a satisfied smile.
The camp that Yelu shouted to choose, far away from the low recess on the bank of the river, and avoided a large woods that were easy to attack, but with a nameless mound as the center, blocking the Xi chariot at the outermost part of the camp, worthy of the veteran under Hugh Ge.
If it was a normal battle, the way Yelu shouted to set up camp could be described as very safe, and there was almost nothing wrong with it.
However, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers, the particularity of the terrain and landform also determines the outcome of the war to a certain extent.
According to the detailed map of the vicinity of Anxi, it is about five miles away from the river bank because of the camp of Yelu.
To put it bluntly, Yelu shouted that he would not camp by the river, which was very in line with the conventional way of using troops, and avoided the hidden danger of impounding water upstream to attack it.
But the problem is that Li Jiajun has a large number of "cocktails" in his hands, and when he launches a night attack, he only needs to set fire to Sanba, leaving only this side of the Luan River, and the soldiers and horses shouted by Yelu are likely to be completely annihilated.
No matter when and where, Li Zhongyi has always emphasized that annihilating the enemy's living forces is much more important than seizing the enemy's cities.
Therefore, Yang Wushuang's idea of advocating a sneak attack on Luanzhou was put by Li Zhongyi in the next stage to be considered, and the top priority was to think of ideas and gather the elite soldiers and horses of Yelu's department.
"Neutralization, the land is lost, the people and the land are lost; If people lose land, people and land will survive. Our army fights, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, as long as Yelu shouts are annihilated, Luanzhou will be like a beautiful woman in Chiguoguo, at our mercy. Note that I'm talking about fighting a war of annihilation, not a battle of defeat, and it's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt it. Li Zhongyi made up his mind, and Yang Wushuang naturally complied.
In addition to the confrontation of forces, there is also a contest of mentality. Yelu shouted that he had never confronted Li Jiajun head-on before, but he only knew himself but did not know the other, and he had lost thirty percent before the war began.
The Li Jiajun's throat rebuke battalion has as many as 1,500 people, and they are all the most elite soldiers selected among the best, whether it is archery and horse archery, weapons and equipment, including the tacit understanding between each other, they are far better than the Khitans who have lax military discipline and insufficient number of throats.
Setting up an ambush to intercept and kill the enemy's throat is a compulsory course for Li Jiajun's throat reprimand. When it comes to the ability of the throats to cover the situation on the battlefield, how much more did the Li Jiajun win?
More importantly, the detailed drawings of the map room surveyed and corrected in advance have been refined to the extent that a certain well is located. In a sense, Li Zhongyi fought a translucent battle.
Li Zhongyi is self-aware, commanding in battle, he is not as good as Yang Lie, and maybe Yelu Huge. However, due to his cautious personality of saving his life, Li Zhongyi has the ability to turn the situation on the battlefield into a situation in which the enemy is overt and we are in the dark.
Professionals do professional things, Yang Wushuang led the senators, and in just half an hour, he came up with a brand-new combat plan.
When Li Zhongyi saw the people from the Senate carrying the sand table over, he couldn't help touching his chin and laughing, this has not started the war yet, and the situation in the entire war zone is already well understood.
"My lord, after repeated confirmation by the reprimands, the Senate thinks that we should pretend to continue to attack Anxi County. If possible, simply take Anxi County. In this way, Yelu must have thought that we were adventurous, so he could rest assured and boldly cut off our grain route and block our return to Yuguan......" Yang Wushuang pointed to Luanzhou on the sand table and said seriously, "After our army converges, we can take advantage of our strong mobility and power to turn around and attack Luanzhou." In this way, Yelu can be mobilized to call back to Luanzhou, and return his body with the way he encircles the point to help. ”
Li Zhongyi pondered it carefully, and felt that Yang Wushuang's analysis was very good, Yelu shouted that he had just come out of Luanzhou, and his vigilance must be very high.
It is better to stay away from Yelu Shout for the time being, which can not only wreak havoc on the spring sowing of the Youji Plain, but also paralyze Yelu Shouting, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, that's it." Although Li Zhongyi's idea was collectively rejected by the senators, he was still sincerely happy, which is called brainstorming and working together.
Everyone counts the long, one counts the short, and the tiger also has a nap, not to mention Li Zhongyi, who is a mortal?
"Zhonghe, I believe that the era of famous generals is about to pass." Li Zhongyi looked at Yang Wushuang with a smile, his purpose in forming the Senate was to include the act of war in the scope of planning and control, and now it seems that the more and more powerful Senate did not disappoint him.
"The command is handed over to Li Yunxiao, I'm tired for half the night, it's time to go to bed." Li Zhongyi yawned, glanced at Yang Wushuang with satisfaction, and a group of senators, turned his head and instructed Zhu Niang, "The colleagues in the Senate Department have worked very hard, you ordered the chef to make a sumptuous supper, and treat them well for me." ”
During the march, Li Zhongyi, like everyone else, had three meals a day with the same food, without any particularity at all.
However, as the commander of the army, Li Zhongyi stayed up late to discuss the military situation, which has become commonplace. As for the Senate, not to mention, the staff on duty stayed up almost every day. Therefore, on the stove responsible for supper in the Chinese military tent, the fire is absolutely not allowed to be turned off at night, and there are always different colors of food to entertain everyone.
However, the supper that everyone eats on weekdays, turning it upside down, is just a few things. Now, Li Zhongyi personally ordered it, obviously everyone has a chance to get naked tonight, don't eat for nothing, and eat for nothing.
For a while, everyone laughed silently, followed behind Yang Wushuang, and dispersed.
Zhu Niang, who had been beside her without squeaking, suddenly said: "Master, the slave family secretly discovered just now that the smiles of the senators are completely from the heart. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded, the correct suggestions of his subordinates were adopted by his boss in a timely manner, which made people feel more happy than the rapid improvement in treatment.
The longer he led the troops, the less daring Li Zhongyi became, and the more cautious he became. His capital is limited, and if he doesn't miss a little, it will be a disaster.
It is precisely because of this that Li Zhongyi is not a stubborn lord, and he can listen to the opinions of his subordinates very much. Such an atmosphere of going back and forth, brainstorming, and speaking freely slowly settled in the Li family's army.
PS: There are more in the early morning, and I need the encouragement of the monthly pass, thank you!
