Now, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it to give more support to "The Tiger Ben of the Tang Dynasty"! Zhang Shigui looked at the person in front of him who was a few rounds apart, and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, the hero is a young man, Your Majesty is over-thinking."
Li Shimin was a little worried that Luo Shixin's age would become his disadvantage in commanding the three armies. After all, Luo Shixin is only twenty-five years old this year, and although he has enough military achievements as a supporter, many times, age and qualifications are the key to measuring the problem. In the past, Luo Shixin led his confidants who were promoted by himself, so naturally there was no such problem. Now he led veteran generals who also had great military achievements in various places. They must have achievements and qualifications. If they do not accept Luo Shixin, the "boy" they see, which will lead to the general's two hearts, which will have extremely bad impact.
This situation has been countless in history. Even those who are as arrogant as the Zhou Lang in Jiangdong were dissatisfied with him because of the dissatisfaction of the veteran Cheng Pu.
In order to avoid this situation, Li Shimin specially found Zhang Shigui, the oldest and senior, and asked him to cooperate with Luo Shixin more just in case.
Today, Luo Shixin Fang had just arrived at the front line. He had already won the support of the public with his gentle means as if he were blowing his face in the spring breeze. While sighing, he also had to accept that the general manager was young and able to achieve such military achievements and achievements, which was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Luo Shixin greeted everyone and walked towards the military camp, and asked Li Daozong on the way, "You're all here!"
Luo Shixin led twenty-one generals to the barracks. The one he said was that he was in the Tang Dynasty was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty adopted the system of government soldiers. In addition to some of the standing soldiers guarding Chang'an and Luoyang and other major metropolises, other government soldiers were spread all over the Tang Dynasty. When the war broke out, the government soldiers, led by the Chongzhe Mansions in various places, rushed to the agreed meeting point.
This time, Luo Shixin was appointed as the chief marching commander of Liaodong Road. It was not literally that he was responsible for only one part of Liaodong Road, but that the entire war was led by him, including Youzhou, a springboard for attacking Goguryeo.
"The last batch of transport ships are not delivered!" Li Daozong replied. Before the arrival of the commander Luo Shixin, he was in charge of all the affairs in the military camp. Then he added, "But Jiang Zuo has already heard from him that the transport ship will arrive early tomorrow morning. There are adults on the transport ship who need catapults and siege cars."
Luo Shixin nodded. The Jiangzuo mentioned by Li Daozong was Jiang Xingben, the master craftsman. He was the disciple of Yuwen Kai in the late Sui Dynasty. He was skilled in various craftsmen's skills. From stone casting cars to siege cities to repairing bridges and roads, they were all his strengths.
Among the several conditions proposed by Luo Shixin, he was transferred to a group of craftsmen to listen to this at any time.
Jiang Xingben was the leader of the craftsman group. Before he set out, he was responsible for the investigation and preparation of the warships.
"Let's hold a meeting first to find out what we should deal with first." Luo Shixin was also the master of decisiveness. He did not take any extra rest after arriving, so he directly held a military meeting.
Twenty-one generals of all sizes and sizes. Neatly arranged.
As a place to discuss, the seat is wide and bright, and more than 20 people are integrated into it. There is no crowding. There is also a huge leather map hanging diagonally on the upper right. It is the topographic map of the Liaodong generation of Youzhou. The seats placed just allow everyone to see.
Luo Shixin first came to the old map, took a look at it in detail, pulled down a handful of old him, and sent someone to a brand new map and hung it on it, saying, "I have been to Goguryeo, Liaodong in person, where the terrain is harsh and the situation is complicated. This old map is not enough to show the key. This new map was drawn by a friend living in Changbai Mountain for ten years. It was also drawn based on some small paths and paths that the visitors who traded in the east and west. You can carefully observe it. If you have a general understanding, you can also collect it from me if you look back."
Generals such as Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Zhenzhou and other generals gathered on the map and compared them in detail with the map in their minds. The overall consistency of the map details is more than a thousand miles apart, and they all looked like they were interested.
The first thing this person who is good at using military forces must learn is to look at pictures.
Since the beginning of military tactics, countless military experts have emphasized the importance of terrain and terrain. Faced with a brand new place that has never been involved, you can only understand the terrain and terrain from the map. The clearer you can see, the more you can understand the greater the advantage you have.
Li Jing's "Six Army Mirror" also seems to emphasize the importance of maps. In his private words, a person who can't even understand the map will never be a general. Even if you don't know a single word, it doesn't matter. Marines and combat are not about culture, but the basic knowledge of maps must be understood.
More than 20 adults were good figures who had experienced a lot of battle formations and knew the importance of the map very well. They were surprised that Luo Shixin was well prepared and looked at it very seriously. From time to time, they also made low discussions with their confidants beside him.
Luo Shixin did not disturb him, but asked them to look at the map seriously: when an excellent general faces the map, he often thinks about tactical play, how to mobilize troops and how to use troops, and how to attack local cities on the map.
Along the way, he has been thinking about tactical play styles when looking at pictures, and has already had a certain idea: it is just that he has always been accustomed to gathering the wisdom of everyone and choosing the best play style, rather than being Zhuge Liang alone and taking on everything alone.
After waiting patiently for half an hour, Luo Shixin saw that it was almost done, and said: "I believe you have understood the situation of Goguryeo before. Goguryeo is not strong, but it can make Yang Jian defeat and shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. It can be seen that it is special. The burden we shoulder this time must not repeat the same mistakes. We must face Goguryeo and face the difficult things they can't deal with. Only in this way can we overcome it."
Li Daozong nodded and said, "What the Chief Executive said is reasonable. Goguryeo is a difficult bone to crack. According to my opinion, this battle is to seek victory with steadily, first take the lead and set itself in an invincible position. Don't give Goguryeo an opportunity to take advantage of, and then seek victory with steadily, and find opportunities to win."
Zhang Shigui nodded and said, "The General of the Third Respondent agreed with the proposal of Rencheng King. The General of the Third Respondent has carefully studied the war between the previous dynasty and Goguryeo, and found that they all have a common characteristic... underestimating the enemy. Yang Jian inherited the strength of the Northern Zhou regime. After usurping the throne, there was no decent threat in the surrounding area except the Turks. After easily destroying the Southern Chen unification, the only strong enemy, the Turks, also split under their planning, and made the Turks respect the saint Khan. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, no founding emperor was as easy as Yang Jian. Goguryeo's strength was not strong, and Yang Jian was too smooth, so when Goguryeo provoked the previous dynasty, Yang Jian mobilized 300,000 troops to conquer without hesitation. From the generals sent, it can be seen that Yang Jian did not take Goguryeo seriously at all..."
All the generals nodded in agreement when they knew that period of history.
At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian assisted Gao Jin with King Yang Liang of Han, Wang Shiji and general Zhou Luohu, leading a 300,000 navy and land army army to attack Goguryeo. Although Yang Liang was the head coach, the three armies were obviously in Gao Jin and Wang Shiji's hands, but the prince was just named as the prince according to the convention. At that time, Chen Yangguang was the head coach.
Gao Jin and Wang Shiji are all famous generals who have experienced many battles. The former is smart and powerful, who fights against foreign countries and stabilizes the country, and destroys Southern Chen, with particularly brilliant military achievements; the latter destroys Chen, Ding Yu Zhang, Luling, and Xunyang, and is invincible. However, when they attacked Goguryeo, they drove straight in, and advanced 300,000 troops from land and water. As a result, the navy encountered strong winds on the sea and most ships sank. As soon as the Sui Dynasty naval army broke down, he let Goguryeo's advance troops go
Attack. The water commander Zhou Luohu had previously damaged his troops and his generals, and his vitality was severely damaged, which defeated Goguryeo. Gao Jiang and Wang Shiji went too deep into the hinterland, which led to the tragedy of Li Shimin in the future. The key fortress could not be conquered, and the army completely delayed Goguryeo. Because it went too deep into the hinterland, the front line was lengthened and the supply of food and grass was not increased, which directly led to the defeat of 300,000 troops, and 90% of the troops were left on Goguryeo's land.
To be fair, if it weren't for the carelessness that underestimated Goguryeo, with Gaoyang and Wang Shiji's military standards, even if he could not defeat Goguryeo, just like Li Shimin later, it would not be difficult to achieve rich results and retreat calmly. It was because of his strong military force in the past, and he was able to use stones to hit the enemy, and he was careless and underestimated the enemy, which resulted in the eggs cracking the stones.
"As for Yang Guang's several million troops attacked Goguryeo several times... Hehe, that's a joke!" Zhang Shigui curled his lips, "They all underestimated Goguryeo. Maybe Goguryeo is not strong, but they have unique geographical advantages. And they are very good at using this advantage, and they are definitely not underestimated. Stability is the best way to deal with Goguryeo."
Luo Shixin praised, and indeed, none of the generals who were able to rank the title during this period were mediocre people, and they had the same view as Luo Shixin.
Goguryeo and Turks are the opposite of nature. They seek fast and unexpected speed when fighting Goguryeo, while fighting Goguryeo seeks stability, taking one step at a time, and not giving them the opportunity to counterattack, and then seeking the opportunity to fight a decisive battle.
"What the two general managers said is not in line with my ideas!" Luo Shixin glanced at everyone and said, "In my opinion, this Goguryeo is an iron nail fixed in wood. What we have to do is to pull the nails and pull out the nails one by one, and then we can achieve the final victory. If we can't pull them, it is easy to repeat the same mistakes. So, what we have to do now is to pull out the first nail that blocks them."
When Luo Shixin said this, almost everyone looked at the brand new map, and most generals looked at one point.
Luo Shixin walked to the map and drew a circle in the Liaoshui generation and said: "The Liaoshui Great Wall... is the first nail we encountered. Whether we can make a good start depends on whether we can pull this nail!"
"The chief manager, I have a plan to pull out this nail..." Luo Shixin finished speaking, and Liu Rengui, who was in the next chapter, stood up first.
