Chapter 66 Darkness Blue Mountains(1/2)

After every war, in addition to prone to epidemics, countless wild beasts will also gather.

The whale falls and all things live!

If an army is considered Kunpeng, a large number of corpses of soldiers who died in battle can feed too many birds and beasts in a region.

As a qualified commander with rich experience, no one knows better than Di Qing what it means to fly to the Guangzhou group by the crows and meat-eating birds of prey.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Guangzhou should have a great victory."

Still on the way to slowly march from the river, Di Qing suddenly came to this conclusion.

A subordinate general said: "It makes no sense, how did Xuan Shuai... come to this conclusion?"

Di Qing, who was also wearing a ghost mask, said: "Jiang Nuan Duck Prophet, now pay attention to it. It is clear that the season is wrong, but a large number of crows and birds of prey flying south appear. This means: there is a huge smell of rotting smell over there, and there is almost only one explanation, which is caused by the war."

The subordinates looked at each other, scratched their heads and still couldn't figure it out, and said one after another: "The judgment at that time was that Guangzhou was likely to be unable to defend. So Mr. Xuan deliberately slowed down his marches and seized the opportunity to survey the army on the way, hoping to reduce the friction in command."

Di Qing sighed and said, "The variable lies in Zhao Ping'an's army. If that team really had the courage to attack Guangzhou, everything was possible and could be explained."

A deputy general said: "It's still unlikely. I heard that it's a team that can run. Even if you have a hot mind, you can't beat Guangzhou."

"Go to win."

Di Qing said: "They can win seven battles and win seven times, and they will also become stronger and stronger. Such troops will not be defeated easily. And the troops pulled up in that way are commanding like arms. At that time, conservative estimates were estimated that Zhao Ping'an had at least 5,000 elite troops. If he were the general, he would definitely win Guangzhou."

The subordinates all said, "But Zhao Ping'an is a scholar, he is not Xuan Shuai."

"Maybe he is, at least his ability to march and escape, even this general is willing to give up the disadvantage."

After Di Qing said this, his subordinates couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because Di Qing was wearing a mask, he could not see his emotions, so he only heard him say, "Don't laugh, he will escape, and his morale and number are getting higher and higher. This is also a skill, and it is the most difficult skill to learn. People with this skill must have the ability to defeat the Guangzhou army. It depends on whether he is willing or not, whether he dares or not."

People are really angry. It really doesn’t matter how many soldiers use their lives, and command like arms.

Now compared to this, Di Qing, who brought 30,000 of the most gorgeous equipment to support the Japanese army, had to deliberately reduce the speed of the march, just to communicate with generals at all levels in the army, try to test the depth and background of all parties, and test their military opinions.

If you are not sure that the military orders can be smooth and the command is effective, then Di Qing would rather not enter Guangzhou, and would rather just marching and circle around the area far away from the war zone.

This is not slackness, but for the sake of the country and the dynasty.

Because Di Qing now understands one thing better than anyone else, once these 30,000 Japanese troops were defeated, in addition to a large number of strategic equipment falling into the masters of Nongzhi, it will also be a devastating blow to the confidence of the whole country.

So Di Qing, who claimed to be a qualified commander, made a decision in his heart after surveying the army continuously: he would rather throw away Guangzhou than drive the team into the battlefield as soon as possible.

Because this team is the biggest hidden danger in this war!

However, those who started like Zhao Ping'an, on the other hand, can fight even if they are not equipped and can command like an arm. Therefore, there is no bottleneck in Zhao Ping'an's use of troops, the more the better.

As long as there are five thousand elite soldiers, they can fight to the decisive battle in Guangzhou. Moreover, five thousand is just the court's literary newspaper. According to Zhao Ping'an and others' urination, it will actually be more than five thousand.

With these things, Di Qing finally judged that Guangzhou had a great victory.

"Shishuai felt that Guangzhou was a great victory, how can we deal with it next?" The confidant generals asked one after another.

"Build the river channel openly and cross the blue mountains in darkness."

Di Qing pointed to the map without thinking and said, "Let the majority of the Japanese army be in the river, waiting for passage, and handed over to the deputy envoy Yang Wenguang to control it. He also ordered a thousand elite cavalry and followed me to lightly ship on land. We interspersed from east of Daozhou and walked on the Blue Mountains. If Guangzhou really had a great victory, then according to my general's research on Nong Zhigao's troops, we might be able to meet Nong Zhigao's escaped army on this route, and we could adapt to the situation at that time."

"Shisan Xuan, this is too risky. Even if Nong Zhigao is worse than Guangzhou, his main strength is still there, because even Zhao Ping'an's troops are unlikely to kill most of Nong Zhigao's main forces. Then we must not hit a thousand cavalry."

The subordinates persuaded each other.

Di Qing, the envoy of Xuanfu, sighed: "If Zhao Ping'an's troops really win in Guangzhou, then that's fine. And if one thousand elite cavalry fights, I think it's safest and more important. If you can't win, you can walk and learn Zhao Ping'an's mobile tactics. Now that the Japanese army cannot fully coordinate and command, the fewer people, the safer the fight. Because I am not Zhao Ping'an after all, I emphasize again that he has no bottlenecks in using troops, the more the better. But ask yourself, can you really bring the Nong Zhigao, who is holding the Japanese army in our hands to the front line and hit the wall with a desperate attack?"

He also said: "The military discipline of this era was basically obtained by beheading. But the people in this army were either royal relatives or national relatives. I don't want to be too radical."

This is also a fact. At this point, these old subordinates who followed Di Qing from the Western Army were collectively silent.

Another subordinate asked: "What if the Xuan Shuai makes a mistake in judgment, Zhao Ping'an fails to conquer Guangzhou?"

Di Qing said: "This is better. When Nong Zhigao's army was not defeated, our troops could not promote the Japanese army into the war zone as soon as possible, and they could only gradually adjust the command. Now, with a thousand elite cavalry, Zhao Ping'an's style of tactics, and with my general's precise sense of the battlefield and the ability to control the cavalry, we should first harvest Nong Zhigao frequently and accumulate morale slowly. In this way, the greatest contribution to defeating Nong Zhigao will ultimately belong to us. It will not give those who look down on our military officials too much."

My subordinates were convinced, and they deserved to be Shuai Di. They pointed out the situation in Guangdong in just a few simple words, and had a direction and goal.

"There is no accident in success. There is a reason why Xuan Shuai was called the God of War. This time, the military officials must not be embarrassed. It is necessary to compare Zhao Ping'an and the others in terms of their military achievements!"

The subordinates knelt on the ground with military salutes.

"I'll send orders to make a meal, bring the four cavalry battalions designated by me, and I'm about to go out of the Blue Mountains."

The general order of Di Qing, the Guangdong-Guangdong Propaganda and Pacification Envoy, is being issued...

Guangzhou hesitated for a moment and did not know where Nong Zhigao's army was going.

There is also news that most of Di Qing's main players were still blocked in the Jinghu South Road river, which was still early to enter Guangdong.

As a result, how dare Zhang Zhong, who had wanted to send troops to pursue him before?

The prerequisite for pursuing the pursuit of achievements was based on the situation where Di Qing’s main force was about to be in place and Zhao Ping’an’s troops could soon regroup.

Now that there is no opportunity to advance, in order not to offend these literati, Zhang Zhong had to devote all his soldiers to the work of transporting coal, firewood, food, etc.

Zhang Zhong's troops were not effective in fighting, but doing this kind of work was OK. They were very concise and were on the passing line.

As a result, the energy and food crisis in Guangzhou City has been initially alleviated.

The military disaster caused by Nong Zhigao before, all productivity stopped.

But now Zhao Ping'an's troops fought to determine Guangzhou, and the magistrate Wei Guan did his best to promote it, and the recovery of people's hearts and morale was quite strong.

In addition, Su Jian and Zhang Zhong's troops, who had no match for the wind, cooperated with each other. Now standing on the high city, you can see an unprecedented wonder in the Song Dynasty.

Women, children and elderly people, all those who can move are working all over the mountains. In addition to cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the bodies, there are also crowds like long dragons, carrying firewood and coal to continuously support Guangzhou.

In the wartime system, everything is simple, and no one cares about money or gains and losses for the time being. The coal in the mine is an endless natural resource. Under the leadership of a few experienced miners, countless people participated in the transportation of coal and were continuously supplied.

The environment can influence people to create people. Under this situation, various folk craftsmen have also devoted themselves to leading the people to smelify iron and create scarce big pots and stoves.

This is an unsightly sight.

Usually, the Song Dynasty based on the concept of "teaching his disciples to starve the master to death" and did not easily hand over the technology to others.

But the shock of Zhao Ping'an's troops when they fought in Guangzhou after the disaster, and the Zhao Ping'an propaganda team cooperated with the magistrate Wei Guan to spare no effort to promote it, it was like a reshuffle, affecting Guangzhou from all aspects.

In order to improve production and efficiency as soon as possible, people with skills and skills are spared no effort to teach apprentices and the public to master technology.

With a lot of hard work, what made the magistrate Wei Guan confused was that Guangzhou now has all kinds of talents and is emerging.

It is also much easier than ever to make people do things and serve people.

After Zhao Ping'an's propaganda team started working, everything was efficient and quick. Since the full mobilization, wonders have appeared in just three days. The entire central long street was full of stoves and newly cast cauldrons everywhere.

In addition to constantly transporting coal for combustion, more and more detailed division of labor has emerged. Many children and women go from house to house to collect everything they can cook. They send them to a large pot to cook. I heard that this is to minimize the breeding of bacteria.

This is another miracle!

As the consul, Wei Guan had to admit that he had never thought that such a situation would happen.

In just five or six days, Guangzhou had established a huge battlefield hospital like a joint venture. Although it was simple, it could be used and everything it should have.

Under the leadership of military doctors, more and more skilled nurses have been trained, and a lot of first aid and health concepts have been popularized. There are more than 100 apprentice military doctors.

If you want to say terrifying, it really makes Wei Guan terrified!

The secret recipe of the Song Dynasty requires money. The methods and concepts from the military medical team of Guangnan Camp have actually proved to be quite effective. This was something that could not be learned even if you spend money.

But now it is no secret, almost a temporary nurse knows it.

In addition to field hospitals, craftsmen led migrant workers to build various workshops, stoves, pots and other utensils, temporary tents and houses, etc.

Based on Wei Guan's experience, in the past, in order to obtain these things, in addition to more than half a year of preparation and negotiation tug-of-war, they would also be kidnapped by various unscrupulous merchants, eventually exhausting all the treasury's finances, and inefficient and poor quality.

How could I think that after the war, Guangzhou City, had such terrifying productivity and materials added for free in just five or six days? And the technical craftsmen who emerged in thousands of ways?

This is really terrifying!

From the perspective of civil officials and consuls, this phenomenon is now even more shocking in the view of Wei Guan, the governor of the prefecture, than Zhao Ping'an's most saintly military commanding skills.

"Hey, if my Song army was like Zhao Ping'an's troops, and my Song administrative district was like Guangzhou now, do you believe it or not? Ten Liao Kingdoms and twenty Xixia combined together would not be enough for us to fight?"

When it comes to his feelings, Wei Guan muttered to himself on the high city.

“!?”

Peng Yuye thought that the scholar was a scholar, and he had no idea about the horrors of the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia cavalry.

Lao Liao looked at Peng Yuye's face for a moment, and smiled kindly: "Peng Dujian seems to not believe it. In fact, I, Lao Liao, didn't believe it if anyone said that before, but now I believe it. Perhaps everyone in the world is amazed at the style of Zhao Gong's decisive battle in Guangzhou..."

Peng Yuye said: "That's right, I was watching from the top of the city at that time. As a soldier, I could see such a military formation fighting, which would be enough to comfort my life. That should be the pinnacle of combat."

Lao Liao shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I want to say. The decisive battle in Guangzhou is just a result, but the starting point of forming such a force is the key. You don't know what this force has experienced from being formed to gradually growing, and what concepts it is under."

"Ideas, cognition, technology, these are the keys. Otherwise, as far as the battle in Guangzhou itself is concerned, I don't think my husband would fight better than Di Qing back then."

This is Lao Liao’s summary.

Peng Yuye's eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean is that Di Shuai's assault can be more beautiful than Zhao Xianggong?"

Lao Liao said: "It is possible, objectively speaking, the performance of local tactics and the control of extreme warfare is no one in the world who can do it. However, Di Qing has great limitations, resulting in limited troops he can control. The more troops he uses, the better, but the more problems he has, the more it is, and this is limited to a certain level of battle, so Di Shuai cannot control it alone. However, Zhao Xianggong is mainly steady, and his tactics are more inclined to the laws of the king, and he has unique experience in the transformation between defending the right and attacking the strange. Moreover, Zhao Xianggong can control the hearts of the people, so he has no limitations. The more troops he uses, the better, and the more pressure he controls the battle, the greater the pressure. So I think Wei Zhizhou is objective. Zhao Xianggong may be like walking on thin ice to fight Nong Zhigao, but in the future, he will be like a fish in water in the Liao Kingdom. Don't believe it."
