Chapter 183: Gambling
This time, Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue made a division of labor, the two of them were each responsible for the front line, and each of them led the soldiers and horses in the two theaters, and was responsible for fighting on the east and west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey are not like the emperors of the Song Dynasty in the past, who often sat in the Beijing division and commanded remotely, people like them would never make that kind of low-level mistake, they had to go to the front line near the battlefield to command, and they had to understand the situation of the entire battlefield in detail.
Therefore, after Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue discussed, it was finally decided that Hua Yue would be the marshal of the Western Route Army, enter Qin Feng Road to coordinate Yue Kun's Lizhou Army and Huang Yan's Qin Feng Army to be responsible for the western front operation, the combat goal was set to attack the western flank of Jin from Shaanxi, and at the same time contain the Mongolian army, attack Shanxi at any time according to the situation, the primary goal is to capture Hezhong Fu (now Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi Province) and Yan'an Mansion on Luyan Road of Jin State, control the main road to attack Shanxi, and be ready to go north at any time to engage the Mongolian army. Invade Shanxi to recover Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion, Fenzhou and other places...
And the Lizhou army of the Western Route Army must also be prepared, from Xining Prefecture and Lintao Mansion and other places, at any time to attack the old land of Western Xia controlled by the Mongols, the primary goal is to drive the Mongol army out of Ganning and other places as much as possible in Liangzhou and Lanzhou, and recover the Hetao area, where the military is led by Yue Kun, but Huang Yan and Yue Kun each have their own decision-making power, and now under the implementation of Gao Huaiyuan, the kind of rigid dogmatism that the whole army can only obey one person's orders has been banned, and each army commander will be within the scope of the established combat objectives, Have full autonomy to prevent the commander from blindly commanding without knowing the situation, resulting in delays in the fighter. Gao Huaiyuan planned to lead the Eastern Route Army, that is, the armies of Jingdong and Jingxi, from Jingdong and Jingxi at the same time, attack the Jin State, and recover the Central Plains with lightning speed, blocking the Mongolian army north of the Yellow River, and at the same time the Eastern Route Army sent troops from Jinan and Jizhou to attack the Hebei region controlled by the Mongols, and cut off the Mongol threat to the Central Plains as much as possible. . .
Gao Huaiyuan planned to go to Jingxi Road first, and invaded the Central Plains with Meng Hui, and after destroying the Jin Kingdom, he went to the Jingdong Army and began to enter Hebei to fight the Mongolian army, and the final goal of the two armies was the land of Yanyun, where they converged and drove the Mongolian army out of Guannei.
The remaining Gyeonggi Army, as the general reserve, supported the operation of the Eastern Route Army at any time, especially the Qingyuanfu Navy began to move north, stationed in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and the existing Jingdong Army Naval Division began to assemble here, and was ordered to attack the Bohai Sea at any time, ready to insert a knife in the waist of the Mongols at any time to contain the actions of the Mongols. As for the General Staff Headquarters of the Privy Council, it will follow Gao Huaiyuan's actions and adjust its operational arrangements according to the situation at any time, and if unexpected circumstances occur, there will be no confusion in command.
After formulating this huge battle plan, Gao Huaiyuan immediately discussed this battle plan with the civilian department, Zhen Dexiu generally agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's arrangement, but also expressed his concern, after all, the Song army has not carried out such a large-scale operation for more than a hundred years, he is worried that once there is a problem or a local soldiers and horses appear unfavorable to the battle, it may affect the overall situation, so that it will lose all, not to mention that this war needs to mobilize almost all the money and food of the entire Southern Song Dynasty to support this war, The pressure on the civilian side is very high, and once the materials can't keep up, it may also affect the overall situation...
This time Gao Huaiyuan's battle plan is indeed too big, which Gao Huaiyuan himself admits that even if he becomes an immortal, he can't predict all kinds of things that may happen in future battles, after all, the battlefield is a rapidly changing place, and there are too many aspects involved, even if all the data is input into the future supercomputer, I am afraid that the supercomputer may also face countless data, and eventually crash. This time's plan is even more huge than the plan for the Kaixi Northern Expedition formulated by Han Yanxuan back then, and it is even more than ten times larger, almost covering the entire northern region of China, Gao Huaiyuan's appetite is indeed a little too big, so his battle plan is very detailed, but in essence it is just a very rough strategic idea, it can only be said that it has built a command system of the Northern Expedition and a rough skeleton of the army's actions...
It is a pity that the results of the Kaixi Northern Expedition that year were suffocating, not only did not give the Southern Song Dynasty a little lost land, but also lost a lot of troops, lost a lot of territory, wasted a lot of materials and money accumulated by the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally signed a more humiliating peace agreement with the Jin State.
Zhen Dexiu is a little worried, Gao Huaiyuan thinks things are too simple, after all, this is not a joke, Gao Huaiyuan is equivalent to betting everything in the Southern Song Dynasty on the gambling table, this will be an unprecedented gamble, if you win, it will be two lights and one open, that is, the glory of the ancestors, the restoration of the old land, and the expansion of the territory!
If you lose, the Southern Song Dynasty may be in a slump from now on, and all the capital will be lost, so that the Mongolian iron cavalry will break through the Jianghuai defense line in one fell swoop and level the south of the Yangtze River.
So in deciding whether to agree to Gao Huaiyuan's big gamble, Zhen Dexiu couldn't help but hesitate, and didn't know whether to agree with Gao Huaiyuan to do this...
But for Gao Huaiyuan's huge plan, his "father-in-law" Wei Liaoweng and Hong Shikui raised their hands in approval, and they were so excited that they almost cried, they felt that Gao Huaiyuan's plan this time was feasible, although the plan was too big, but after all, Gao Huaiyuan had been secretly planning for a long time, and all kinds of preparations were quite sufficient.
Even they felt that Gao Huaiyuan was a little too optimistic, and his appetite was too big, so he directly pointed at Yan Yun this time, but they still thought that at least there was no problem with the Northern Recovery of the Central Plains, after all, Jin Guodu had become a virtue now, and if he couldn't beat the Mongols, couldn't even the Central Plains be recovered?
What's more, after several years of continuous propaganda, the Southern Song Dynasty, whether official or non-governmental, has a very high demand for the Northern Expedition, and the local officials are now much better, and the local government coffers are full, and there are sufficient guarantees in terms of material aspects to support the army's Northern Expedition.
Therefore, they all agreed to start the Northern Expedition and agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's plan this time.
Zhende Xiu was weak, and in the end he could only agree to Gao Huaiyuan's request, saying that they, the ministers, would also fully support Gao Huaiyuan's actions.
Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan won the unanimous support of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, and began to issue tiger charms in the name of the Privy Council, and began to issue military orders to the military in various places, carry out final preparations, and be ready to send troops at any time.
The Southern Song Dynasty began to be lively again, and more materials began to be transferred out of various places, whether it was by waterway or by water, vehicles and ships were everywhere transporting all kinds of materials, transporting them to various parts of the north, and the Cao Si who was in charge of this matter and the transfer envoys who were in charge of this matter were busy.
This time the operation is too huge, and a lot of people from all over the country have been recruited to participate in this matter, which will inevitably cause some right and wrong, but fortunately, the officials are Qingming, and they are oppressed along the way to participate in the transfer of grain and straw materials, but they are not too angry, not to mention that the people are also pondering, and finally they have waited for this day, and finally have to go on the Northern Expedition, even if they are tired and hard, they are willing to watch their country become stronger, so this matter began to operate in March.
