The third update is sent, and the 3800 monthly pass is added!

Zhang Chao is actually quite an official in Taozhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he came to take office, Taozhou was actually an empty shell, with few people and few officials. There are no deep-rooted and powerful local heroes, nor are there any officials who have controlled the rule of local officials for generations, let alone a number of township clans.

It's a virgin land.

Sometimes war has some positive effects, such as not breaking and not standing. If Zhang Chao went to the Central Plains to be a state assassin, he would definitely not be so chic, just arguing with the local nobles and strongmen, he would have to die of exhaustion, and maybe he would have to be set aside by those officials.

But in Taozhou, this is the border pass, and he is in charge of both the army and the people.

With all kinds of cheap disposal, the power to cut first and then play. It not only holds administrative power, but also holds military power, financial power, and personnel power.

There are 10,000 soldiers in Taozhou, which were mainly from the forbidden army in the former Yuan, and the safety of Taozhou is guaranteed. There is Jiangxin City, an exclusive commercial port in Longyou, and Taozhou is bold enough to eat crabs, and there is no shortage of money.

Taozhou Yamen and Taozhou Governor's Mansion, those are Zhang Chao's own people, and they don't even have internal constraints, is this official uncomfortable?

Now there is a new higher-level capital protector, and a new deputy capital protector has arrived, and it turns out that he is a good guy, and he is quite smart and can be a person. I heard that Wei Yunqi was also a troll when he was young, and he was quite upright.

At that time, Liu Ji was a good friend of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and later helped Yang Jian become the emperor, and Yang Jian was also very good to him. married his daughter Princess Lanling to Liu Ji's son Liu Shu, and even later made the young Liu Shu the secretary of the military department.

Liu Shu's son is a brother, he has a good skin, and he has no real skills. At that time, Wei Yunqi was just a small attendant officer with a straight run, and Yang Jian asked him to say some suggestions, but he directly sprayed Liu Shu who was standing next to Yang Jian, saying that Liu Shu had no ability and no ability, and he relied on eating soft rice to become the secretary of the military department, which made Liu Shu's teeth itch.

Later, Wei Yunqi had the opportunity to borrow troops from the Turks to quell the Turkic rebellion, but because of Liu Shugong's personal vendetta, he took the opportunity to throw him to the Turks, but he didn't expect that he was quite capable and actually achieved his reputation. After entering the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yunqi set up a team with Dou Liang and Duan Lun in Yizhou, and he also had a discord with the two imperial relatives.

Several times Dou Rail tried to find a chance to kill him.

I don't know if it's because I'm old and I've suffered a lot, Wei Yunqi doesn't look like a troll now. Or maybe it's just that Zhang Chao has an appetite for him, after all, Wei Yunqi is from a famous family, but he hates those royal relatives the most, and the suspects are all on soft rice. And Zhang Chao's real grassroots background can get to where he is today, relying on his ability.

Yunwen Yunwu.

Anyway, Zhang Chao and Wei Yunqi partnered at the beginning, and they were quite harmonious.

Zhang Chao told Wei Yunqi about his plan to use troops, and Wei Yunqi praised and supported him again and again. In fact, Zhang Chao seems to have a Yeli Department, even if they have six, they don't have to worry. The Yeli Department is located in the east of Tuyuhun, and then to the east is the party department, then there is the Great Snow Mountain, over the mountain is the Shuzhong of the Tang Dynasty, to the south is Xiqiang and the gradually unified and powerful Tubo, to the west is the base camp of Tuyuhun.

In fact, Zhang Chao is in Taozhou, and he is quite hands-off in terms of military affairs.

He, the governor, is the governor of the military, but he only mentions some programmatic things, and he controls personnel and financial power. He likes to set goals, divide them into multiple tasks and assign them to his subordinates, and then supervise and check them himself.

Zhang Chao almost did not participate in reconnaissance, military training, ordnance, grain and grass, summing up military information, analyzing the enemy's situation, formulating combat plans, and so on, but only checked them regularly.

He actually has a very unique opinion on many things, and he knows that when he reaches his position, he can't handle everything by himself, so he will become Zhuge Liang. No matter how capable you are, you have to die of exhaustion.

Zhang Chao is only responsible for co-ordination, and the specific details are divided by the following people.

In fact, Zhang Chao felt that the government soldier system was very strong, and it was very worry-free to bring it.

In peacetime, there are military offices, and the officers in the military government are town guards and training instructors, and they are all professionals. Zhang Chao didn't even need to worry too much about military salaries, grain and grass, the government soldiers did not need military salaries, grain and grass, and they took turns to train every day, and only provided some food and allowances during training.

Even most of the ordnance was provided by the government soldiers.

It's so trouble-free, and the quality of the soldiers is very good.

In history, how many powerful generals were assigned to a group of cowards who couldn't support the wall, and as a result, their reputation was lost. For example, Sun Chuanting at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, who had been beaten, had eighteen horses left. As a result, after a few years in prison, he was full of confidence that a few thousand people could clean up his defeated Li Zicheng again, but when he saw his own soldiers, saw his own food, grass and ordnance, he couldn't help crying blindly.

A group of people called Hanako, or those who don't have leftovers, are called Hanako, and let them go to war with dog-beating sticks, isn't this a cheat?

In fact, Zhang Chao believes that fighting a war is not a very profound thing. Fighting a war is as simple as doing business.

As long as you are familiar with a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, you can become a general. Just like Zhao Pu can be the first prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty with only half of the Analects.

In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is a huge amount of space about one thing, a plan. Not a stratagem, but a calculation. Calculate all kinds of factors, and finally when everything is ready, and calculate that there is a 70% chance of victory, you can go to war.

If you don't have a high chance of winning, don't go to the waves.

Sun Tzu even opposed winning a hundred battles, because after winning a hundred battles, they were not finished, which means that the battle was confused and inefficient. Sun Tzu is actually very efficient and wants to fight, just win the battle at one time.

Not only do you have to win, but you also have to make sure that you don't have much to lose while winning.

It's actually very similar to doing business, no matter what you do, you have to consider the cost and the benefit.

Zhang Chao doesn't like to think of himself as a commander, he prefers to think of himself as a general manager, he puts forward goals, assigns tasks to various departments, and each department must come up with a detailed plan.

After everything is calculated accurately and everything is ready, the project will begin.

Zhang Chao delayed this dispatch for nearly two months, just to prepare, to calculate in all aspects, to know the enemy, but also to know the enemy, and to calculate his own strength.

For this dispatch, Zhang Chao prepared for two months, two whole months.

When all aspects of the preparations of various departments met Zhang Chao's expectations, he agreed to send troops this time.

Reconnoiter the enemy's situation, draw up battle plans, make backup plans, raise food, grass and ordnance, prepare time, preset the battlefield, and train the soldiers well. .....

Two months later, everything was ready, the project was set up for two months, everything was ready, and finally started.

Wei Yunqi has been chatting with Zhang Chao all the way, seemingly chatting, but a question that is often asked inadvertently contains a question that he has thought about well.

One question after another was answered by Zhang Chao, and Wei Yunqi also had a more comprehensive understanding of this battle.

The more he learned, the more he admired Zhang Chao. If you say that the politeness when you met at the beginning, it was just politeness, in order to have a good start in Taozhou. But slowly, his admiration for Zhang Chao became deeper and deeper.

Because he found that everything is under Zhang Sanlang's control, and everything is really under control.

Even the march was planned in advance, the route of the march, how many miles the march was, the speed of the march, and so on.

"How did you do that?"

"More calculations, more preparation, naturally not a problem. In fact, in my opinion, before sending troops, seventy percent of the outcome has been decided, and the march accounts for two percent of the influence, and the real face-to-face battle only accounts for the last percent of the factors that affect the outcome. ”

"Let's kill the past like this now, and don't we send someone to give an ultimatum to the people of the Yeli Department first?" Wei Yun said.

"I heard that when Wei Gong borrowed Turkic troops to conquer the Khitan, he approached the Khitan in the name of using the Turks to trade with Goguryeo, and then launched an attack by surprise, and finally won a big victory, right?"

"That's true."

"Well, raiding is a useful tactic. We have been warning the people of the Ministry for a long time, and we don't know how many times we have warned them. ”

"You're trying to paralyze them." Wei Yunqi shook his head and smiled.

"In any case, I have spoken first, not undeclared. Feng Liren ignored the admonition and warning, crossed the border, and invaded my Tang territory, as a Datang border official, I have the responsibility to defend the territory, since I have not listened to many advices, then I can only send troops to conscript. ”

Wei Yunqi looked at the army behind him and smiled.

This is a well-prepared war, and the Tang Army has been playing the wrong trick to induce the Ministry of Yeli, just for today. A full seven thousand Tang troops were dispatched.

In addition to the first army left behind, Zhang Chao moved a whole three armies.

The number didn't seem like much, but after seeing the equipment and quality of this army, Wei Yunqi didn't want to say anything. The more than 7,000 government soldiers who everyone rides horses are still equipped with two horses, such a luxurious government soldier, even the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven cannot reach it.

The armament rate of bows reached one hundred and two percent, and crossbows reached forty percent.

Forty percent of the iron armor equipment and 60 percent leather armor. 100% equipped with horizontal knives!

It's not about being well equipped, it's quite luxurious.

Even the auxiliaries are wearing leather armor, hanging horizontal swords, carrying bows, riding horses, such equipment, and the neat appearance of the army, an elite division.

"Du Hu, how did the soldiers of Taozhou do this? It's only been a few months, and as far as I know, the auxiliaries in this army were just a group of young craftsmen and apprentices and farmers half a year ago, right? ”

"There are only eight words, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the military discipline is strict. If you do these eight words, you will naturally have morale! ”

More than 7,000 murderous Taozhou soldiers, Wei Yunqi looked at it, and he felt like he was boiling.

The autumn breeze was blowing, hunting with flags, and riding a fat war horse, Wei Yunqi felt that he had come to the place.

"Togo, what is our goal this time?"

"Target?" Zhang Chao pondered for a while on the horse, "The goal is to grab at least 350,000 captives and 100,000 cattle and sheep back, and let the Tugu people completely understand that these 300 miles of land have completely belonged to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

350,000 captives, 100,000 cattle and sheep.

The fluttering words in Zhang Chao's mouth made Wei Yunqi feel that his goal was so high.

"What if the Tuyuhun army comes to the aid of Yeli?"

"Then run, thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan. It is important to grab cattle and sheep and capture prisoners to fight for territory, but it is even more important to preserve strength. ”

Listening to Zhang Chao say the most important thing to preserve his strength so bluntly, Wei Yunqi couldn't help but look at Zhang Chao's hair with admiration.

The autumn wind was bleak, and Zhang Chao led more than 7,000 Taozhou soldiers to cross the former border!
