The war is cruel to Suning, and it is also familiar, the first thing he did when he came to Datang was to fight, killed and destroyed the Eastern Turks, burned the last strength of the Eastern Turks, captured all the high-level of the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turkic Corps completely collapsed, and the second war not only swept away many tribes in the north of the Tang Dynasty, but also defeated the Western Turkic Corps, instigated the Western Turkic mutiny, made it a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and steadily fell into the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Suning is such a mysterious and strong, the Eastern and Western Turks were defeated and subdued in his hands, although he is not the main general, but he has played a decisive role, and he is extremely good at defeating the enemy's powerful corps with a small number of elite men, every time to win more with less, with the smallest cost to obtain the greatest results, five hundred men and horses destroyed the Eastern Turks, two thousand men and horses against the Western Turks, and at that time, the enemy's forces were far stronger than the forces in Suning's hands.

No one will doubt that Suning has no way to rely on this thousand elite soldiers, with the assistance of the local defenders to quell the rebellion of the bureaucrats, Suning's conspiracy is very famous in the Tang military circles, three conspiracies have laid three victories, and the last time is to control the Tang Dynasty's potentially powerful enemy Western Turks without much effort, and then use Shang instead of soldiers, wantonly plundering the wealth of the Western Turks, greatly reducing their war potential, making them unable to launch a war against the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang military circles praised Suning's conspiracy, but there were also a small number of people who expressed concern about it, such as Li Jing and Li Shiji, as well as Li Erma, all three of whom were famous military generals, among which Li Ermaxi was particularly good at assaulting powerful enemy forces with a small number of troops. Breaking its frontal formation and laying the foundation for the impact of the follow-up troops, this is how Dou Jiande was defeated, but unlike Suning, Li Erma also has the ability to command the heavy army to fight face-to-face with the enemy.

Whether or not a general can command an army of more than 10,000 and fight with the same number or even a larger number of enemy troops is the criterion for judging whether a general is qualified to become a general, and whether he can command an army of more than 50,000 people to march and fight and defeat the enemy army is the criterion for judging whether a general has become a commander in charge alone, and whether he can command a heavy army of more than 100,000 people to fight a decisive battle with the enemy is to judge whether a military figure can become a famous commander through the ages!

The ancients fought wars. The infantry relied on the formation. Cavalry relied on assault and assault, similar to trebuchets and other weapons used to siege cities, this is the basic law of military use, in fact. Regardless of the formation, a white-knuckle battle is the way to die. on the Great Battlefield. If you leave the military formation, whether it is cavalry or infantry, there is no military formation. will die miserably, the infantry can form a square formation, the famous military formation of the cavalry has the fish scale formation, and so on.

After the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the military strategists of the Tang Dynasty will also study some of the victories and defeats in the past, among which Suning played a decisive role in the Eastern and Western Turkic Annihilation War is focused on the study, and the research results show that Suning has played a decisive role that cannot be ignored, and its plot is the reason for determining the direction of the war, and even the post-war planning has also been reflected in its strategy, with far-reaching vision, and it is a well-deserved first place among the new generation of military generals in Datang.

Li Jing was very happy, after all, this was his disciple.

But then, the rational Li Shiji proposed that although Suning played a decisive role in the war and even dominated the direction of the war, the problem that cannot be ignored is that Suning can be called a famous general, but cannot be called a commander, because Suning has not commanded an army of more than 10,000 people, not even 5,000 people, and the maximum force he commands is 3,000 people, which is not enough to show that he has the ability to command a large corps and confront the enemy head-on.

Battlefield operations are indispensable for conspiracy, but the real command ability is the most important, if he lacks the ability to command and coordinate the joint operations of all arms of the armed forces, he will not be able to go to the hall of elegance in any case, and can only take the conspiracy line, not a real famous general.

Li Shiji's comments were merciless.

Although Li Jing's face turned blue with anger, he also understood that Suning did lack the record and opportunity to command the large corps, and there was no way to reflect such ability, Li Jing had already discovered such a situation, and also put forward a warning to Suning, and also strengthened Suning's understanding of the various arms and the study of how to use them, but how well they learned, they still have to wait for the battlefield to test, but Datang is currently in the midst of rapid development and drastic changes, at least within two years, I don't want a big war to happen.

Once there is a big war, it is a national war, once the national war occurs, it will not only take all the time of the monarch and the court, but also the manpower and material resources of the whole country, although there is no need to use the people to transport grain and grass now, but it still requires a lot of material loss, which will inevitably affect the drastic changes in Datang today, and this kind of change, everyone sees it in their eyes, and understands that this is only good for Datang, and there is no harm in this kind of thing, and this kind of thing can be more and better.

No one wants this change to stop, because the benefits of this change are enjoyed by almost everyone.

However, cultivating the next generation of generals is a top priority, because almost everyone can expect that once Datang's domestic development stabilizes and gets on the right track, then Datang will free up his hands to strongly intervene and expand its territory to the outside.

In order to destroy the Shandong Shi clan, Datang really paid a lot of price......

The main military strategy in the future is to develop to the west and recapture the Western Regions, which has been lost for hundreds of years, the commercial benefits brought by the Silk Road are vivid, the consumption power of the Tang Dynasty is obviously insufficient, and the huge profits brought by the trade with the Western Turks and other tribes have made the rulers of the Tang Dynasty red-eyed, and they found that only by copying this business model to foreign countries can they obtain the greatest benefits.

The Western Regions, once a territory that once belonged to China, needed to be recaptured after being lost for hundreds of years, sue them. It was once Han Chinese, and it is and will continue to be Han Chinese.

This most important strategic plan is to understand the Western Regions through the Western Turks, and to carry out commercial cooperation with the Western Regions, step by step to open up the current blockade state with the Western Regions, let the envoys of the Tang Dynasty enter the Western Regions, let the merchants enter the Western Regions, and carry out the first stage of aggression by diplomatic means and commercial means. After the merchants gradually mastered the local economy. It is necessary to use diplomatic means to stir up trouble, so that the Tang military force has a reason to intervene here, and sweep through the Western Regions to regain this once rich land.

There is the Western Regions. Reopening the Silk Road. It's not that hard. Datang's career has begun to expand, and they very much want to know about the original Daqin. And rest in peace, what these great empires of Kushan look like now, what the land that was once very familiar is what it looks like now, and further west, further west, Suning told His Excellency Li Yuan in the form of a story to hear the history of the Western Regions and the West, which deeply attracted a group of war maniacs......

It turns out that the world is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is around, and Datang is really sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Therefore, it is necessary to have enough talents and enough troops to carry out such a great cause, and the older generation of generals, headed by Li Jing, has already been finalized and is gradually withdrawing from the military circles; The Mesozoic War General Hou Junji and Li Shiji are the main force in the army, and the young generals of the new generation have to say that they are headed by Suning, because among the young people, Suning's military exploits are second to none.

Therefore, many generals are very concerned about Suning, and they are also very concerned about the Shuzhong Counterinsurgency War, not only Suning, but also many students in the first phase of the Military University are very potential and highly valued, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Meng Yu, Jiao Changhe, etc., and some promising second generation generals such as Li Zhen and others are among the members of this expedition, and the generals did not object, because it is useless to oppose, they are all members of the military academy.

The Shuzhong Counterinsurgency War, almost concentrated in the next one or two decades after the Tang Dynasty Mesozoic generals retired from active service, a new generation of military generals led by Suning will be born in this war, the results and achievements of this battle will greatly affect the life of this group of people in the next ten to twenty years, I have to say that the significance of this war is as far-reaching, even if it is just an ordinary war.

The young eagles of Datang are about to have their first test flight.

Of course, part of their confidence also comes from the Su Three Kingdoms written by Suning, and in the end, the Northern Expedition of Shu and the Southern Invasion of Wei State, around the strategic location of Hanzhong for decades of contention, Suning knows a lot about the geography of Shuzhong, and even knows a lot about strategic points.

"Yes, although the scale of this battle is not large, but the old man still has to give you some guidance about Shuzhong, the battle in Shuzhong is definitely not comparable to the plain battle, and the classic battles that happened in Shuzhong are definitely a lot, but fortunately, the wingmen are stupid, they only know how to occupy some cities and do not know how to occupy strategic points, if they will gather all the wingmen to attack Hanzhong in the north after capturing Jiazhou Lingzhou, and even occupy Hanzhong by luck, then the meaning of this battle is completely different. It's going to be an uphill battle. ”

Li Jing was not at ease in the end, so he asked Suning to take time out to go to his house, and he wanted to test whether Suning had done his homework.

Suning really knows a lot about the battle in Shu, who makes Suning like the Three Kingdoms very much? The Three Kingdoms were also written...... Zhuge Liang's several Northern Expeditions, Jiang Wei's several Northern Expeditions, Cao Wei's counterattacks and counterattacks, each time will revolve around the battle out of Shu and the battle into Shu, and the route issue, Suning also focused on described.

Entering Shu to fight, if Hanzhong is occupied, it will be very troublesome, but the wingmen don't know how to fight at all, they only know how to fight bravely, so the strategies and tactics prepared by Suning are not used, because there is no need to attack Hanzhong, there is no need to capture Yangping Pass, there is no need to smuggle Yinping directly to Chengdu, the wingmen just occupy some land on the Shuzhong Plain, and then encroach outward, and there is no clear goal, it is difficult to succeed, but it is reported that this group of wingmen has a tendency to march towards Chengdu.

There are generally two ways to fight in Shu, the first is to fight from north to south, lay Hanzhong, and then capture the Chengdu Plain, which is the route of Zhonghui and Deng Ai; The second way is to take the waterway, fight from east to west, take Jiangzhou, and enter Shu from Bajun and other places, which is Zhuge Liang's route.

Niu Jinda and Suning chose the first route, passing through Hanzhong and entering Shuzhong to quell the rebellion; If the rebels occupy Hanzhong, then it will be difficult to fight, when Wang Ping guarded Hanzhong, Cao Shuang led the army south, and the 180,000 army failed to defeat the Hanzhong guarded by 30,000 troops, but did not fight a decisive battle, but lost the army, delayed the unification of China for 20 years, and was the battle of Xingshi Mountain.

The significance of this battle is very far-reaching, but due to the lack of participation of famous figures, it is not very important, but Suning attaches great importance to this battle, because this battle and the subsequent battle of Wei and Shu are in the first phase of the battle of the Hanzhong battlefield, highlighting the importance of Xingshi Mountain, Wang Ping because of the strategy left by Wei Yan, according to the Xingshi Mountain, relying on the alternate cover of Seoul Lecheng, to defend Yangping Pass, repelled Cao Shuang.

Twenty years later, the Shu army failed to follow Wang Ping's successful strategy and gave up Xingshi Mountain, so that Hancheng Lecheng was divided and lost its way out, Yangping Pass was isolated and helpless, and Hanzhong was lost. A Xingshi Mountain, inadvertently, changed Chinese history, and after that, few people noticed that that inconspicuous mountain had changed the fate of the Chinese nation. (To be continued......)
