Chapter 535

In the next two days, the staff of the Office of the General Staff and the General Staff will discuss the details of the combat plan. The general procedure is that Li Yanxian, Shao Ling and Niu Gao will lead his subordinates to determine the combat plan of the route. Then, each commander and the General Staff will determine the plan of the regiment separately, and then make sure to make it. After the decision is made, the combat tasks of each regiment will be determined according to the combat plan, and then the combat order will be formed.

This has never been before. Even those who participated in the army hunting in Wang Xiao in Xiangyang have learned all these things, but have never really experienced them.

In Chinese tradition, before the war, the commander was promoted to the tent and the commander was determined in the tent. Some orders even required military orders to ensure implementation. After receiving the military order, the commander returned to his own headquarters, and the trusted officials and the small school assigned the orders of each department, and then there was no more.

This time Wang Xiaoli was preparing for the Battle of West Beijing. The Office of Staff first planned the combat plan and then discussed with the regiments. Based on the results of the negotiation, the combat plan was revised and formed an official version. Then, military orders were drawn based on the combat plan, and each regiment was carried out in accordance with the military order.

The organizational ability of the army is reflected in these military orders. Military orders are reasonable, subordinates are easy to execute, and the combat will be smooth, and each department cooperates effectively. Military orders are unreasonable and often cannot be implemented, and it is difficult for each department to form cooperation.

The old problem of the Song Dynasty army was organizational chaos, and military orders were often ignored. In a war, the commander often rushed to the front line with people, while most of the troops watched from the wall and didn't know what they should do. The commander often died or was captured, and the rest of the troops that did not participate in the war were scattered. When encountering troops like the Jin and Liao army with a large number of cavalry, they chased and died behind and were defeated very cowardly.

It is precisely in response to the old problem of the chaos in the Song army's command that Wang Xiaolie used a lot of effort to rebuild the command system. There was a plan before the war, military orders were given when the war was going on, and a summary after the war was given. This was Wang Xiaolie's requirement. He had experience in fighting a war, and gradually accumulated, and the army became stronger and stronger as the battle took place.

The commander and staff at the meeting were obviously busier than in the previous few days. Apart from the time of dinner, they were either listening to lectures, discussing or recording, and there was almost no time to have free time. For many people, it was the first time that they encountered such a detailed combat plan.

Most of the time Wang Xiaoli spent looking at maps and calculating the war process. Sometimes he would come to the commander or staff to ask about the specific situation of the troops. The busiest person was Wang Ruohai, who, with his staff, not only had to explain the war plan to the commander and staff, but also constantly modify it according to the opinions.

That afternoon, Wang Xiaoli was studying the situation of the war in the official hall. His personal soldiers came to report and said that Dong Xian asked for a meeting.

Wang Xiaoliu hurriedly stood up and said, "Oh, it's best to come. Let him go to the living room next to him for a while, and I'll go over to see him immediately."

After entering Luoyang, Wang Xiaoli sent Yuan Gai to meet Dong Xian. However, his business was busy and he had been spending many days before Yuan Gai arrived in Shou'an. After another five or six days, a large number of generals gathered in Luoyang City, which became very lively. Dong Xian came to ask for a meeting.

After entering the living room, Dong Xian hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen the handsome guy in the festival."

Wang Xiaolei said: "You don't have to be polite. Sit, sit, let's sit down and talk."

Dong Xian sat down and his personal soldiers came to tea. Wang Xiaoli invited tea and said, "I have been in Luoyang for more than a month and everything is busy. I originally said that I ordered Yuan Gai to see you as soon as I entered Luoyang, but I waited for so long. Are you in Shoushou, so everything is fine?"

Dong Xian said: "I thanked Jishuo Ji, everything is fine. Jishuo Jishuo wiped out Meng Bangxiong and occupied Henan Prefecture. I should have come to pay my respects. It was just because of personal reasons, and it has been delayed until now. Don't blame Jishuo Jishuo."

Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "It's just for your personal future? This is normal. When I passed by Luoyang a few years ago, you occupied several counties and were a big shot in Henan Prefecture. Now that I am bringing troops back, how can you have no doubts in your heart? It doesn't matter if you have doubts, just explain clearly."

Dong Xian said: "The handsome guy is generous and very poor."

Wang Xiaolei said: "I don't like to say something rude, don't care. Now that I occupy Henan Prefecture, in principle, I don't allow my subordinates to have their own commanders. In Henan Prefecture, you are one, and Zhai Cong is also the same. Zhai Zhenfu has gone, Zhai Cong is easier to speak, and is willing to choose the army, and after retraining, he will be assigned to the army. He will enter the military academy and then come out to lead the troops after he has finished his studies. You have been in the four counties of Luoshui Valley. You are used to being free and have nothing to worry about. Yuan Gai should explain it to you clearly, what are your plans?"

Dong Xian hesitated for a moment. He said, "I have led the troops for several years. I feel that there is nothing appropriate except leading the troops. However, if I enter the military academy, I have to come out to lead the troops after I finish my studies. If something happens in the military academy, wouldn't it be—"

After saying that, his face looked hesitant.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "As long as the qualifications are normal and you have fought many years of war, you can learn in a military academy. Over the years, no one who led the troops before has an accident and has not been able to learn. The reason why I entered the military academy is that my army is different from other military forces. It is difficult to integrate into it without learning. Entering the military academy is mainly to learn some knowledge that I have not learned, not to get stuck in anyone."

Dong Xian said: "I mean, if something happens, can't I lead the army, or even be an ordinary person?"

Wang Xiaoli sighed and said, "General, how can you think so? I let you enter the military academy, and I have never stopped anyone's idea. Instead, you should learn useful knowledge as soon as possible. Not only do you want to enter the military academy now, but you still have to go to the military academy to study at the next stage. My army is like this. Soldiers must enter the recruit company, and officers must enter the military academy. After training and learning, they can be truly incorporated into the military. The army must be regularized and the system must be uniform. These are inevitable. To be honest, not only the generals below, but also me, Dutong Li and Senator Wang have also entered the military academy. We just need to arrange time to learn knowledge, not as students. Many of the knowledge in the military is indeed difficult to learn without entering the military academy."

Dong Xian didn't speak, but just rubbed his hands there, which seemed very embarrassed.

Wang Xiaolie knew that Dong Xian was afraid that he would be deliberately made difficult after entering the military academy, so he lost the opportunity to lead troops. He only knew how to lead troops, but he didn't lead troops. What else could he do? With Dong Xian's current status, Wang Xiaolie did not arrange a high-powered position, but let him go to the military academy to study, which made him very unhappy.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaoli said seriously: "General, let me tell the truth. In my army, it is different from the previous army. If you don't enter the military academy, you will not be able to learn a lot of knowledge and it is difficult to understand what the characteristics of this army is. Even if you are given a position, without this knowledge, it will be difficult for you to continue. If you force yourself to continue, you will have no future in the future. Are you in your twenties this year, so is that that?"

Seeing that Dong Xian didn't speak, Wang Xiaoli continued, "If you really don't want to, I can also arrange an official position for you. In the government, there are always some official positions that are well treated, but they have low requirements for officials. But I think it would be a pity to be such an official at your age."

Dong Xian closed his eyes and after a while, he said, "I was a young man and everything I have now worked hard. To be honest, I don't like to hand over my destiny to others. If I lead the troops, the merits made by one sword and one shot on the battlefield are nothing to say. But when I enter the military academy, I have to have the final say. How can I accept it? But if I become a certain official and I will not lead the troops from now on, I feel unwilling to give up."

Wang Xiaoliu thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, do you think this is OK? You first study in the military academy for three months, and see if you are used to it. If you are really not used to it, you will arrange some officials and no longer lead troops in the future. If you do not lead troops, you can do other things, and you will also serve the country. If you are really not used to it, I can send you to the school. Whether you are an official or lead troops, it is up to the court to decide."

Dong Xian said: "Jingshuai has restored Xijing, so I will naturally work under Jishuai. Why should I go there? Well, I will enter the military academy for three months, and I hope I can adapt there. If I am lucky enough to learn, Jishuai will let me continue to lead the troops!"

Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. If you learn it, you will naturally continue to lead troops."

Dong Xian loves money, and has a little awkward temperament and is somewhat suspicious. If not, it would be impossible for Zhai Xing to have awkwardness for so many years. Dong Xian is not stupid, and it can be seen that he has a bright future under Wang Xiaolien, so how can he be there? He just asked him to give up his soldiers and go to the military academy to study. He felt extremely awkward. After talking to Yuan Gai, Dong Xian knew that going to the military academy was inevitable, and talking to Wang Xiaolien was just a lucky person.

Wang Xiaolei is still particularly polite to these princes. As long as he does not violate the principles and is willing to give them some preferential treatment. Only by showing kindness to others can he gain other people's kindness. Wang Xiaolei wants to expand his power and meet many people like Dong Xian in the future. Treating Dong Xian and Zhai Cong well is a role model for others to see. Only when other forces are merged will the resistance be small. With the occupation of Henan Prefecture, Wang Xiaolei will start to manage the Central Plains.
