Chapter 315 Soldiers refer to righteousness
Chapter 315: Soldiers’ Reward
"Let's discuss it." Jiang Xujing's decisive withdrawal made everyone a little confused. Now, after calculating this, a small half of the so-called seven towns in the north of the town have fallen into the hands of the Yunzhou army. Until now, the Yunzhou army has suffered losses of less than 3,000 casualties, and most of them are still not serious. At least on the surface, the Yunzhou army has the advantage. However, Jiang Xujing has to make up his mind to withdraw from the garrison area and gather together from almost the third day after the war between the two sides. What should this be?
What kind of courage and decision? Although after the information was heard one after another, Ye Tao had already ordered the meeting to disperse first, and wait for further information to send troops to occupy Xiatieling, Fubei Town, Jinjiling, and Yoshikawa Town, and ordered the scouts of the Frost Wolf and Silver Wing Army to come forward again, so as to try to get the tails of the evacuated army of the Zhenbei Army and find out their movements. However, after the officers had ordered the matter, they still gathered in the lobby of the Qingtian City Guardian, gathered in the place where they were conducting military discussions, and accompanied Ye Tao to meditate and think hard.
It was not until midnight that Ye Tao had used midnight snacks with everyone, and finally ordered another military discussion. The Central Military Barracks were originally considering the various needs of commanding operations. When they were bound to provide services to senior officers, they were also a personal servant like Pomegranate who had been following Dai Yunjin for a long time. The midnight snacks made by the chefs in the Central Military Barracks were not much worse than those famous restaurants in Ningyuan and Suiyuan. Ye Tao specially ordered the coffee with milk and sugar to cook for everyone, and the chocolate-flavored biscuits that were currently only made in the Jingleifu family, which made everyone's index fingers move, and almost forget that they are on the front line now.
However, as soon as Ye Tao said that the military discussion began, everyone got into the state very quickly.
"Master Ye, the last general's meaning is the same as you. Jiang Xujing should want to fight us in a decisive battle in Guiyuan. However... it is also possible to retreat to Guiyi and stay in waiting for assistance." Cheng Chi said.
Xu Yao stood up and said, "Although Jiang Xujing is determined to withdraw troops this time, he doesn't believe it if he dares to defend the city. Although most of the situation of defending the city is safer than field battles, it is not the case for Jiang Xujing."
Xu Yao smiled, but everyone understood what he meant. Indeed, if there was a war with Chunnan, if such a situation happened, the other party would defend the city. But Jiang Xujing was a cavalry general, and the army under his command was the most combat-effective. What Jiang Xujing was most confident about was the cavalry. As the first cavalry general in the north, he could not understand what the result would be if he let the cavalry get off the horse and guard the city and give up all the original advantages. He could not be unclear. He could only count the number of elite infantry troops in his hand. Even if he had occupied the advantage of Yunzhou, whether he could win or not. But once he could not win, it would be difficult for the defenders to escape. Whether Jiang Xujing was confident in himself
The correct assessment of his own military strength is due to the consideration of as many changes and initiative as possible, and he may not defend Guiyi City. But maybe Jiang Xujing would throw Guiyi to the Yunzhou army as a hard bone, and then decide to take further action according to the Yunzhou army's reaction. After all, he has a Daoming Emperor's escort army who is very good at fighting. Although it is probably impossible to defend the city, the desperate characteristics of the escort army can play a great role in street fighting. Unlike the previous military towns, Guiyi City is actually a very common person. I am afraid that even if Yunzhou has enough stolen oil bombs, it may not be able to kill all of them. At least Yunzhou has never had such a tradition.
"If Jiang Xujing felt that this was the way he could defeat us, he would do that." Ye Tao said after thinking for a while. He still remembered that in the battle of Yunzhou, Jiang Xujing left the escort army to cut off the rear for him and led his troops back to the Zhenbei Military Office. In the past few years, the escort army had already been one of the pillars that could stand up in the Zhenbei Military Office, but the escort army caused a lot of trouble for Jiang Xujing. On the one hand, weakening the escort army may be conducive to the stability of the escort army in the future, and it will also help that the escort army will still be his escort army, and will not be transformed by Emperor Daomingzong into a strange place of military and religious combination, and began to infiltrate into a strange place of daily government affairs. Although Jiang Xujing felt that he owed the escort army and Daomingzong a favor, he now had another plan.
Compared with the Leiyin Demon Sect, it is indeed not likable. The Leiyin Demon Sect is very low-key and rarely raises money from wealthy families. Most of them rely on organizing everyone's production and helping to coordinate the amount of grain paid by tenants to the landlords, so that those poor ordinary people can live better and accept donations from the believers on this basis. The Leiyin Demon Sect's own industry is not small. On the one hand, they gradually annexed the land, but did not cause a rebound from the local wealthy families. Instead, based on solid reclamation and planting, they have expanded a series of things other than food crops, such as jelly and medicinal materials. What everyone can see is the Leiyin Demon Sect's actions to help the poor. Although they usually provide very little funding to the poor, there are always people who come to find a job so that they can live on their own.
Emperor Daomingzong followed suit. Although he gave a lot of money, he always felt that he lacked a little human touch... After this, Emperor Daomingzong became less favored by Jiang Xujing. Naturally, Jiang Xujing would not pay much attention to these details, and what he could not bear was the unscrupulous infiltration and expansion of the army in the unscrupulous manner. Jiang Xujing did not have the ability of Ye Tao to come up with strange tricks to gather people's hearts at any time. Facing Emperor Daomingzong of Zhenbei Military Department and the infiltration of the Leiyin Demon Sect in Taizhou in the direction of Taizhou, Yunzhou took out the balanced scorecard in one move, so that officials from all over the country were all looking forward to Yunzhou and looking forward to the future, and the people's hearts were in harmony. Yunzhou's political system became more and more stable. The people believed or did not believe anything, and the Yunzhou Jingfu never interfered. However, he used the name of religion to deceive people.
However, Yunzhou has one thing to fight, one by one, and never tolerate it. In addition, most areas of Yunzhou are closer to the tribe's shamanic system, and Yunzhou has some official colors to handle some shamanic festivals. With the joint efforts of several parties, no matter which sect it is, the influence on Yunzhou can be ignored. However, Jiang Xujing faced different situations, and it was not convenient for him to explicitly ban Dao Mingzong. After all, he owed a great favor to the Dao Mingzong's escort army. Although Dao Mingzong cannot directly control the army of Zhenbei Military Department, he still has the final say, but the impact on everyone in some small matters cannot be underestimated. If you cannot clearly explain the understanding of Tao, Jiang Xujing may not be able to persuade the Dao Mingjun to defend Guiyi.
But Ye Tao and the officers of Yunzhou were not clear about Jiang Xujing's mind. They just looked at the perspective of their more rational deduction, using the escort army to defend Guiyi to consume the spirit and strength of the Yunzhou army. Then Jiang Xujing led the elite cavalry troops of Zhenbei Army Division to wait for an opportunity to launch a battle at any time. This should be the most confident tactic that Jiang Xujing has at present. In any case, as for individual soldiers and small-scale troops, Yunzhou's strength is self-evident; and in terms of macroscopic, the strength of Zhenbei Army Division is self-evident.
Ye Tao did not show any worries or tension. The generals around him felt that Ye Tao seemed a little impatient. This impatientness was not aimed at his own people, but Jiang Xujing, and he seemed to be impatient about Jiang Xujing's stupid behavior of not surrendering obediently and choosing to resist... In the military discussion, everyone expressed their opinions one by one, but later there were some tendencies that everyone expressed their determination, and even wanted to take over the important role in the battle... Ye Tao was very depressed. It turned out that the people of Yunzhou were really not afraid of war, but liked to fight and fight big battles. Moreover, it seemed that this was the general meaning of the soldiers. Everyone generally felt that this one-sided and smooth advancement was too boring. Although Ye Tao felt that even after the division of troops and dispersed a little, the Yunzhou army was still very sure to win in the battle, but Ye Tao was worried about the only thing he was worried about was casualties...
"Brother-in-law, this battle must be fought." After the military discussion dispersed, Tan Weiran quietly said to Ye Tao. "The current Yunzhou army does not need to be the past. In the past, everyone worked together by blood and relatives, but now it is not possible. Although the Dai family still has great influence in several armies, it is not as good as before. Moreover, brother-in-law, we are fighting too calmly and rationally now. Qingtian was originally a big war, but he couldn't see much blood... But he didn't see blood. How could the blood of this army burn?"
Ye Tao sighed and said, "I really wish I could be as open-minded as you. I also know that fighting like this is not right now. The casualties in the war must be known to us all, and in fact we are several times stronger than the other party, rather than being willing to fight tough battles. However, I can't be so cruel."
Tan Weiran smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, this battle will begin. In fact, there may not be too much casualties. After all, what we surpass each other is not just equipment and training. You have to learn to make such a decision, otherwise, what will you do in those fifteen years?"
Ye Tao smiled faintly and said, "Since you want to fight, then go to Guiyi. However, I am not prepared to use too many lives to make my plan to defeat Xiling for fifteen years. Fight this battle well, and I will leave it to you here. I will lead my troops to Guiyi."
Tan Weiran shook his head and said, "That's not possible. Jing Yunqi is a key player who can excel in such a major battle. How can I miss me? As for this, brother-in-law, leave it to General Yu and Suo Zheng. They are more reliable here than anyone else."
