【Chapter 818】 An unprecedented event
When the wedding banquet began, all the generals of the Xiliang Army who were ordered to come to Chang'an came to the main hall of the General's Mansion one after another.
Even more than 100 grooms, including Li Xian, Li Xuan and Guo Jia, all came to the main hall to discuss the matter.
It is not difficult to see from this that this Shuaifu point will be a matter of importance, and it is directly related to the general trend of the Xiliang Army in the next ten years.
And this is what Li Li once mentioned to Zhou Yu, "Regroup and fight again!" ”
On the main hall of the huge general's mansion, more than seventy percent of the civil and military generals under Li Li gathered here.
After most of them had entered the main hall in advance, Li Xian, Fan Yong, Teng Xiao, Bo Cai, Xu Rong, Zhou Yu and Guo Yan and other military generals entered the main hall, followed the military generals on the left side of the order, and sat in the front, and the first of the military generals were the general Che Cai and Sikong Li Wei.
They were followed by Tie Tuo, Huan Fei, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Duan Xuan, Pang De, Teng Yu, Ta Lu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Li Zheng, Xu Huang, Chen Dao, Cheng Gongying, Tie Xiao, Guo Meng, and Li Meng. The lineup of military commanders was very large, occupying 228 seats out of more than 370 seats in the entire hall, and the remaining 150 seats were scribes.
On the left is the sequence of military generals, and on the right is naturally the seat of Wenchen. The first few seats were temporarily vacant, and then more than 100 civil officials such as Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Guan Ning, Jia Mu, and Xun Chen were all seated.
Compared with the lineup of military generals, the lineup of Wenchen is relatively weak, and it seems to be a little lacking in momentum. This is because the leading group of Wenchen has not yet arrived, and if these temporarily absent leaders enter the main hall. Then the civilian lineup is not weak.
Today, the situation of Li Li's once strong military and weak civil affairs has long gone, and the civil and military lineup is relatively balanced. Although the lineup of generals is still stronger than Wenchen. This is also the need to adapt to the situation, and it has to be so. After all, in troubled times, battlefield battles require a large number of generals to charge into battle and lead troops into battle; Therefore, it is inevitable that the generals will be stronger, and it is not surprising.
Now. Li Li has not yet appeared, he is still tired of socializing in the Zhennan General's Mansion, and he will have to wait for a while to arrive.
Even so. At this time, the third order of the main hall was already overcrowded. In the lower hall near the door, there are more than 200 civil and military officials such as school captains, generals, Zhonglang generals, and councillors with a rank of 600 stone and above. The middle level is the middle of the lobby, which is the rank of Qianshi and above, the general of the miscellaneous generals, the county guards, the squire, the middle doctor and other ranks of the civil and military generals, a total of more than 80; Among them, representative figures such as: Li Zheng, Li Meng, Xu Huang, Chen Zhi, Huan Wolf, Huan Bao, Jia Mu, Xun Chen and other civil and military officials.
Go up. That is, the upper hall closest to the handsome position. The civil ministers and military generals sitting here are all Li Li's trusted cronies, all of whom are important members with a rank of 2,000 stone or above, with the same rank as Jiuqing, and the individual people's fortunes are comparable to the three dukes. Therefore, the number of people sitting on the upper echelons is not too much, a total of more than 40 people, all of whom are the commanders of various battalion generals, the generals of the four towns, the generals of Si'an, the generals of Siping, and the newly promoted generals of the five tigers. There are also Si Li's lieutenants, Jing Zhaoyin, the history of the state assassins, and other feudal officials.
Therefore, the entire hall is concentrated with the most capable civil and military generals of the Xiliang Army. The remaining 30 percent of civil and military officials stayed put. As for the Hanzhong war, as early as when Li Liban's division returned to Chang'an, the war entered a stage of confrontation and stalemate, and it was temporarily in a state of armistice. Hanzhong Zhang Lu seemed to be very jealous of Li Li, and had the intention to stop the army and make peace, but he was so strong that he had to continue fighting. Otherwise, once the Hanzhong soldiers retreated to the territory of Hanzhong, the Xiliang army would inevitably wave its army to press up and attack Hanzhong. If this is the case, Hanzhong is in danger, and Zhang Lu will be wiped out, so he has to fight now, and he can advance but not retreat, and he will fight for every inch of land, and he will not give up an inch.
At the same time, the Central Plains princes who had been defeated in Sili had also returned with their troops, and only Cao Cao was still entrenched in Henan County, leading a large army to confront Lü Bu, and it seemed that he had the posture to recapture Yanzhou. In Yanzhou, with the death of Chen Liuzhang Miao in Feiyundu, the wartime alliance between Lü Bu and Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers also broke down, and the situation in Yanzhou was turbulent, and the trend of civil strife had become a possibility, and large-scale fighting could break out at any time. And once the civil strife in Yanzhou provided Cao Cao with an excellent opportunity to make a big counterattack, and it was very likely that he would make a comeback and regain the foundation of Yanzhou.
Just when the war in Yanzhou was about to break out, Yuan Shao, who fled back to Jizhou in a hurry, was also facing a grim situation. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou took advantage of the Great War in the Central Plains to send troops to exterminate the rebels of Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and Yan Rou, and drove them to the Wuhuan grassland, temporarily relying on the gap between Wuhuan and Gongsun Du of Liaodong to survive, and he was in a panic. In this way, Gongsun Chan was free to deal with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, personally led an army of 100,000 Chen soldiers to the border, and clearly took advantage of the fire to rob, seeing that Yuan Shao's strength was greatly damaged and his vitality was greatly damaged after the defeat, and he tried to send troops to Jizhou to exterminate Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. Therefore, after the defeat of Si Li, Yuan Shao faced the threat of Gongsun Zan as soon as he returned to Jizhou, and the pressure was huge.
The Xiliang Army, which had recently occupied Bingzhou, was originally a foreign barbarian outside Yanmen Pass, trying to take advantage of the Xiliang Army's third-line battle to send troops to Koubian and plunder Bingzhou. Unexpectedly, before the snow on the grassland melted, the battle of Sili ended, and finally ended with a complete victory for the Xiliang army. As soon as this news came out, the grassland alien races who were still eager to try it were shocked, so that the plan to attack and annex the state was stillborn, and then the flag died down, and there was no movement.
It was in this relatively safe environment that Li Li issued an order to recall all the civil and military officers under his command to Chang'an, and at the same time reward the whole army, hold the first large-scale military and political deliberations in three years.
In the past ten months, the Western Liang Army has fought on the Northern Expedition Battlefield, the Sili Battlefield and the Hanzhong Third Front, resisting the siege on three sides with the strength of one army. None of these three attacks existed in isolation, nor was it a sudden battle, but a premeditated and organized joint attack, the purpose of which was to try to defeat the Xiliang army in one fell swoop, and even finally completely annihilate Li Li and his Xiliang army.
Starting from Yufu Luo's unprovoked Koubian, to the Central Plains princes uniting to attack Li Li, and finally when the Western Liang Army and the princes' allied army Hangu fought against the army, Hanzhong Zhang Lu poured out his nest to attack the hinterland of Liangzhou. In this three-sided attack, from the geographical point of view, the barbarian army led by Yu Fuluo pressed the border from the north of the Xiliang army, Zhang Lu led the troops to attack the hinterland of Xiliang, and the princes of the Central Plains attacked Hangu Pass head-on; This is a knife in both ribs, a stick in the head, and the end is fierce and fierce, leaving no room for it.
However, plans have not kept up with the changes. No matter how perfect a strategic plan is, whether it can succeed in the end depends on who will carry it out, and there are many factors that determine success or not, such as the timing of dispatching troops, strategic grasp, immediate adaptation, and actual combat effectiveness, as well as being familiar with the right time and place.
Facts have proved that this unprecedented strategic plan was undoubtedly successful, but in the process of implementation, there were repeated omissions, so that in the end, it failed and failed. From the grasp of the timing, there was a heavy loophole, Yu Fuluo was greedy for merit, and directly led the army to attack the hinterland of Liangzhou, so that the northern battlefield entered the decisive stage in the shortest possible time. Then, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was slow to move and hesitated, so that the fighter plane was delayed, and it was not until the last moment that he made up his mind to send troops to attack the hinterland of Liangzhou. As for the main force of the Central Plains Allied Army, the princes of all walks of life were intrigued, their faces and hearts were not in agreement, and they all had their own plans, and when the war did not go well, they had two ambitions and ghosts, and there was a strange thing that shocked the world and turned against the battle, which led to an unprecedented defeat of the Allied army, and it was crushed for thousands of miles.
It has to be said that the entire strategic plan was made by the most brilliant people, but the people who executed the plan were stupid fools. As a result, the entire strategy and tactics are completely out of shape, and the three battlefields are supposed to take care of each other and depend on each other, but in fact they are fighting their own battles, and no one is next to each other, you fight yours, I fight mine. Because of this, the three battles that were originally fought at the same time were broken down into local battles that were launched in turn in three time periods, and the results were broken by the Xiliang army and won a complete victory.
Therefore, after ten months of arduous fighting, the Xiliang army was not wiped out, but became stronger and stronger, winning victories on various battlefields one after another, and won a lot. Now, the only battle that has not been won is the battle of Hanzhong, which was caught off guard by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, resulting in the fall of most of Wudu County, and the Hanzhong soldiers have invaded the hinterland of Liangzhou, and are currently confronting the Western Liang Army in Longyou and Hanyang.
Even so, the territory of Xiliang has also expanded to the land of four states, with Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili and Hetao grassland, with a population of more than five million, and the army has grown to nearly 500,000, and it is a division of great victory, with strong soldiers and high morale. Today, the Xiliang Army has become the most powerful army in the world, and Li Li is the number one overlord in the world.
Therefore, at this time, Li Li summoned his subordinates to gather together, the lineup was unprecedentedly huge, and the scene was very spectacular. The huge main hall of the grand general's mansion is full of upper, middle and lower three-step pavilions, and if the guards and maids in the hall are added together, there are thousands of people in the entire main hall.
"Tom ??????"
With the sound of crisp footsteps, everyone in the hall who whispered was shocked, and they all turned their eyes to the door. However, they knew that the person who came was not the lord Li Li, because the footsteps were scattered, obviously not one person, but a group of people, and these people who came belatedly were all high-ranking and powerful people, and they were also the leading figures among the civil officials.
Sure enough, under the sideways gaze of everyone, Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, and Lu Su walked into the lobby together, and there were several new faces following them. In front of everyone's eyes, these young people who appeared in the hall for the first time seemed a little restrained, and followed Li Xuan and the others into the hall step by step. Obviously, these people are the talents that Li Xuan, Lu Su and others want to recommend to the lord Li Li this time, and they have been allowed to participate in military and political deliberations with permission in advance.
