Chapter 227 The real battle of national fortune, gentlemen!
A military controversy is underway in an unknown valley on the banks of the Hun River.
"The base camp believes that if Jiannu has solved the problem of Du Song and Malin's troops, he will quickly return to the east to solve the Liu Ju army, which has become an isolated army. As for the Li Rubai army who has advanced north from Ya Que Pass, whether considering the relationship between the Li family and Jiannu or the strength of the Liao soldiers in his troops, the base camp does not think that Jiannu will attack Li Rubai first."
"So, after a multi-faceted comprehensive investigation, the headquarters determined that Liu's troops who had marched to Abudaligang will face the main force of Jiannu in the east in the near future! Without knowing that the two troops in the north have been wiped out, Liu's troops will be in danger.
Therefore, our army must move closer to Abudaligang as soon as possible. Once the Liu army fights with Jiannu, our army will attack Jiannu from the flanks and cut off the road traffic between Abudaligang and Heituara. If possible, annihilate the main force of Jiannu. If possible, force Jiannu back to the Sarhu area. In short, the main force of Jiannu must not be allowed to return to Heituara. This is the strategic goal of the base camp and the order issued by Eunuar Wei to the Imperial Army!”
Li Yanzhao, the chief of the coalition forces and former commander of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Guard Division, held a long whip in his hand and pointed to the map hanging above the tabernacle marked Abudaligang with a red pen.
Li Zhaoji, the captain of the Artillery Corps, stood up and opposed: "I do not agree with the opinions of the base camp. Although Li Rubai's troops are not as many as Liu Ju's troops, they are mostly soldiers from Liaodong. They are more familiar with the situation in Jianzhou. In addition, their troops are from Qinghe to Heituara, and the distance from Liu Ju's troops is closer than that of Liu Ju's troops. Jiannu has no reason to allow Li Rubai's troops to enter the city, and first turn to the east to solve Liu Ju's problems."
Li Zhaoji was born in the Shenji Camp, which was the three major camps in Nandu. He was one of the few generals present who could be regarded as a "professional" officer. His reason for his opposition was based on the fact that Li Rubai's army, so he was echoed by some generals.
In addition to the Imperial Army generals, there were also Yizhou general He Shiyi, the commander of the First Brigade of the North Korean Ming Dynasty Zhongzheng Division, Cui Rongshi, the commander of the Third Brigade, the left counselor of the North Korean Marshal's Office, and Jiang Hongli, who was also the commander of the North Korean army. In addition, Fan Hun and Fu Aman from the Return Regiment also attended the meeting.
Seeing that the generals had any differences, Li Yanzhao put down his long whip, took off the white gloves he was wearing, and said, "I have already said that it is not very likely that Jiannu will attack Li Rubai's tribe first."
Li Zhaoji retorted: "It doesn't mean it's impossible. Using troops depends on danger, and you must not be neglected. If Jiannu really chooses to solve Li Rubai's army first, and our army is completely dominated by Liu Jing's army, the situation will be out of control!"
"Everyone, I'll emphasize again,"
Just as Li Yanzhao was about to speak, a loud voice from the guards came from outside: "Brother-in-law is here!"
"loyalty!"
Li Yanzhao stood at the scene, and the generals also stood up and looked at the tent door, and raised their right arms at the same time, even Xuanyu and Cui Rongshi were the same.
This surprised Jiang Hongli, Deputy Commander Li Zhengtai and others.
In the eyes of everyone, Eunuch Wei, wearing a cotton coat, walked in slowly with a cold expression. After glanced at the generals, he nodded and said, "You continue to discuss."
After saying that, he walked to the long table that was pieced together. A personal guard hurriedly brought a bowl of fried soybeans to the table. When the father-in-law saw that the cold face had become slightly more erotic, he nodded slightly, picked up a few soybeans and threw them into his mouth. Then he looked at the map on the tent without saying a word.
"sit!"
Li Yanzhao raised his hand and signaled everyone to sit down and continued to analyze the previous issue.
Li Ka-ki insisted on his own opinion and opposed the deployment formulated by the headquarters completely revolved around Liu's troops. The other generals also expressed their opinions, not being restricted by Eunuch Wei's listening side by side.
Jiang Hongli didn't speak. Although he was the commander of the Korean army this time, he knew very well that any general of the Ming army present had a higher identity than him. According to the agreement between the government and the Ming Dynasty, the command of the Korean army had been completely transferred to the Ming army, so he, the marshal, was better than a soundtrack for the Ming Dynasty to say that he was the chief general of the first army. Then, his opinions became unimportant.
"I emphasize again that this is the established deployment of the base camp. You can reserve opinions, but it must be implemented!" Seeing that such a dispute would only waste time, Li Yanzhao took out the posture of the Chief of Staff.
Eunuch Wei, who was on the side, still looked at the map on the tent without saying a word. The soybeans in the bowl were already seen.
"The Artillery Corps firmly obeys the orders, but I reserve the right to pursue the matter afterwards." Li Zhaoji glanced at Eunuch Wei and sat down.
Not long ago, the base camp issued a military order from Eunuch Wei. In the future, when the Imperial Army performs any action, its subordinates may question the order, but they must resolutely implement it and must not make any claims. Violators will be severely dealt with.
"The situation here has been clear. Whether it is Li Rubai or Liu Jing, they are all alone, because the two ministries have the weakest connections, and they may be cut off by Jiannu at any time!" The speaker was Anguo Temple, the chief of the Engineering Corps. During the more than 20 years in the empire, Anguo Temple spoke more fluently than the native language.
"Starting from the worst situation, the Imperial Army must be prepared for Liu and the second tribe of Li are also defeated... I think that if the worst situation occurs, the Imperial Army should immediately retreat back to Yizhou." Anguo Temple mustered up the courage to express his opinion.
After hearing this, Ding Xiaogong, the captain of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, immediately stood up and said, "Return to Yizhou? No, absolutely not. This will make Jiannu completely enlarge and become a big cancer outside the empire!"
Anguo Temple shook his head and said, "Mr. Ding, there is no way to do this. If we don't retreat, our imperial army will become an isolated army. Everyone has seen the situation in recent days. If our imperial army is incompetent, it is really a good time and place for me." As the captain of the corps forces responsible for the entire army's engineering operations, Anguo Temple himself is deeply worried about the current environment.
Ding Xiaogong shouted: "My father-in-law taught us the plan for the drum rolling operation. Everyone, please be sure to pay attention to the full name of the drum rolling operation. So, have you ever seen that the drum rolling forward can still roll back."
"The barrel can be forward, and then it can be back. Attacking and fighting, covering each other, and retreating each other." Anguo Temple said.
"Rare retreating is a great irresponsible to the court and my father-in-law, and our troops will never agree!" Ding Xiaogong insisted on the railway.
"I am not asking for a retreat now, I am just reminding the base camp to pay attention to the worst situation," Anguo Temple explained.
"You are shaking the morale of the army!"
