Chapter 101 The Chain Plan

Chapter 101 Serial Plan

Luzhou in the Song Dynasty, which is now Hefei City in Anhui Province, has fallen into the hands of the Mongolians since the Mongolian marched. It once fought for Li Tingzhi and Zhang Shijie. Because the two were eager to intercept Boerhu, they did not seize the opportunity to stabilize Hefei. A Shu took advantage of the favorable opportunity of Li Tingzhi and Zhang Shijie rushing to Jiangnan and sent Abaierchi to occupy Hefei again.

Zhang Shijie was ordered to sweep Huaixi, and led his army to Huaixi, and immediately sent an army of 30,000, led by his subordinate Zhang Wu to attack Hefei. I don’t know what the plan was Zhang Shijie’s famous general. Who would not want to occupy such an important place as Hefei? The Mongols sent 30,000 troops here, and he only sent 30,000 people to attack. It was difficult to capture it without any advantage in the troops. His subordinates kept opposing and asked him to increase his troops in Hefei in order to take it down in one go. His performance was like a stubborn stone, stubborn to the point of being stubborn.

He took Hefei, carried out a large-scale mobilization in Huaixi with Hefei as the center, and annihilated the Mongols' army entrenched in this area. Needless to say, his subordinates followed him for a long time to fight, had a unique vision, knew the benefits of it, and repeatedly made suggestions and asked him to change his strategy, but Zhang Shijie ignored it.

Later, Zhang Shijie was so hard that he had no choice but to take action, which was to send his subordinates who always advised him to sweep the Mongolian army, and to a very distant place. Not to mention, the most unbearable thing he could not stand was to give these subordinates who were eager to fight. His orders were so strange that it was unimaginable. If his subordinates had not personally received such strange orders, no one would have believed that a famous general like Zhang Shijie would have such a strange order that was so strange that it was eye-catching.

The reason why his orders are strange is that they are very detailed. For example, he gave his most capable subordinate Jiang Xin the order: "General Jiang is loyal to the country, his ambition is strong, and his feelings are touching. Zhang is grateful to the emperor for his wiseness. He must cherish every talent for the emperor and cannot let you suffer. You can go five miles a day when you march for more than five miles, and you can practice military law! Less than five miles a day, and you can practice military law!"

Wuli Road, don’t just say that an army that is eager to complete the task does not take it seriously. Even ordinary people have to walk many fiveli a day. He has reached this level, which is really unbearable. Jiang Xin asked in person: "It's only fiveli Road. Sir, do you think we are ants? We are humans, and it's okay to walk twenty fiveli."

Zhang Shijie immediately asked him, "Take it serious?"

Jiang Xin didn't even think about it, patted his chest and said, "Take it seriously! Absolutely!"

"Okay, let's try it. Do you dare to issue a military order?" Zhang Shijie asked with a smile.

Jiang Xin immediately said, "If you can't do it, you can chop my head." He picked up the pen and issued a military order.

Zhang Shijie picked up the military order and said to the generals: "You are all optimistic. It's not what I forced him, but he established it himself. There is no joke in the army. If you can't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless." After that, he was already very serious.

The generals were so angry that they didn't dare to say anything more.

Jiang Xin was about to walk and said, "Sir, the last general will march for a hundred miles now."

"Slow." Zhang Shijie shouted and stopped him, "You don't have to run far. Just bring 10,000 people, march within a five-mile radius, marching, marching, and stationing again. It's twenty times a day, less once, you wrote it yourself." He shook the military order in his hand, and he couldn't understand the meaning, that is, to act according to the military order and chop off his head.

For an army, marching for 100 miles is not a difficult task, and Jiang Xin was completely sure to complete it. However, he never expected that Zhang Shijie would come here. Ten thousand troops marched again and stationed again during the five-mile itinerary, and it would take twenty more times. Wasn't that intentionally tricked people? No one could bear it. Jiang Xin immediately opposed: "Sir, what kind of bullshit are you? The last general refused to execute it. He would report to the emperor and ask the emperor for the sage."

For such an unspeakable order as Zhang Shijie, Jiang Xin and his subordinates had the right to report Li Jun to Li Jun and request Li Jun to seize the order. What surprised Jiang Xin was that Zhang Shijie was not afraid at all. He clasped his fists towards Lin'an and said, "The emperor, wise, will definitely say I am right."

Zhang Shijie's orders were extremely ridiculed. If the wise Li Jun ruled that he was right, then Li Jun would not be called wise. Jiang Xin and the others would never believe Zhang Shijie's words and said, "Sir, the wise emperor will give us an answer."

The actions of a famous general Zhang Shijie in Huaixi are really unbearable. It is not that he has no troops in his hands, but that he has heavy troops in his hands. He actually sent only 30,000 people to attack Hefei, which is difficult to understand. With such a very erratic order, the generals really can't bear it. Jiang Xin did what he said and joined hands with the generals to write a letter to Li Jun, asking Li Jun to seize it.

If Zhang Shijie had not made great contributions in Huaixi and had a high prestige in the Huaixi army, Jiang Xin and the others would have definitely not written to the letter, and they would have been likely to join forces to put him under house arrest or kill him.

As Zhang Shijie expected, Li Jun's ruling was right, and Jiang Xin and the others were wrong. Liao Shenggong was very unhappy and came to see Li Jun with the letter from Jiang Xin and the others, and asked Li Jun to deal with Zhang Shijie. Throughout the dynasties, those generals who had made great contributions and had done too much trouble outside. Zhang Shijie's actions were entirely possible because of a disagreement. If he did not deal with it now, it would probably cause chaos. Liao Shenggong's worries were not unreasonable.

Liao Sheng was sure to get the best of his achievements, and there were few miscalculations, but this time he miscalculated it. Li Jun read the book and tore it casually, saying, "General Liao, let General Zhang leave the matter in Huaixi, and let him deal with everything. Don't interfere in the court."

Unexpectedly, Li Jun would actually lean towards Zhang Shijie. Liao Shenggong's eyes almost fell off. He was unbelievable. Just as he was about to advise him, Li Jun had already stood up and said, "Oh, the queen and I have made an appointment. We still have to go to West Lake. You can go down too." Without waiting for Liao Shenggong to speak, he left.

The next day, Liao Shenggong apologized to Li Jun with a shame, because he thought about it for a night and finally figured out the truth. He had to admire Li Jun for seeing the opportunity and came to apologize to Li Jun. Li Jun smiled and comforted him and sent him away.

Jiang Xin and the others stretched their necks and hoped that the court would take down the court's snatch. What they were waiting for was not Li Jun's answer, but the court sent someone to encourage Zhang Shijie. This time, Jiang Xin and the others became wilted eggplants one by one. Zhang Shijie asked them to go east and go west and did not dare to make any comments again.

The saying "A wise man will have a mistake" may be prepared for Zhang Shijie. The actions of this famous general have always been remarkable, but this time it was a mistake or a mistake. Zhang Wu's 30,000 troops attacked Hefei, but it was not because the Song army had no combat effectiveness, but because Zhang Shijie deducted the artillery that Li Jun had to send or say no to the Huaixi Army, and was not allowed to use firearms, saying that it was a top-secret weapon and was not allowed to use without his orders. In the face of his high-pressure means, Zhang Wu had to execute his orders.

At the beginning of the Battle of Hefei, the Song army was still able to gain the upper hand, but later it was at a disadvantage. The reason was not that the Mongols' combat effectiveness had improved, but that the Mongolian army in Huaixi region came to reinforce. As the reinforcements arrived, the Mongolian army had the advantage of military strength, and this advantage became increasingly greater and more unfavorable to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu asked Zhang Shijie for help, but Zhang Shijie agreed to say that he would have as much as he wanted. The reinforcements had been sent out, and Zhang Wu's request was met. Unfortunately, his happiness soon became depressed and finally became angry. He ran back to the camp to question Zhang Shijie regardless of the military order. Unexpectedly, he was greeted with a military stick. If it weren't for the generals' plea, his military stick would have been settled. Zhang Wu returned to the front line of Hefei to continue to deal with the Mongolians.

The only thing that made Zhang Wu feel warm was that when he left the camp, Zhang Shijie gave him a jar of imperial wine that Li Jun gave to Zhang Shijie, which made him feel better.

Zhang Shijie is a person who says he must do his best. He said he wanted to send reinforcements to Zhang Wu, but the reinforcements could only walk five miles a day, or ten miles a day, and it was completely up to Zhang Shijie to decide. Even if the generals led the troops, they had no right to make a decision, so Zhang Wu naturally couldn't wait for reinforcements.

Why did Zhang Shijie do this? Not only did the generals be confused, but even A Shu, a famous general in the Mongolian army, fooled him. After thinking about it, A Shu couldn't understand Zhang Shijie's true intention, but he could be sure: a famous general like Zhang Shijie with outstanding military talents could not make such a low-level mistake, but it was so low that people could see through the fraud at a glance. Needless to say, his must be a conspiracy.

It is precisely based on this judgment that A Shu thought that the play you played was nothing more than trying to capture Hefei and never leave the sect. As long as you defend Hefei well, what are you afraid of you? You ordered the dispatch of troops from other places to reinforce Hefei. Therefore, the Mongolian army in Hefei city gathered more and more, with a total of 60,000 people. According to the current situation, even if Zhang Shijie sent 100,000 people to defend it.

A Shu is worthy of being a talented general. His ideas cannot be said to be incorrect. Zhang Shijie really has plans, and his plans are more than one, a chain of traps. When A Shu understands, he will regret it and want to hit the wall.

Accompanied by Jie Jin and the European Army, Zhao Liangchun inspected Jie Jin's cavalry and said to a cavalry: "Take out your equipment and take a look."

The cavalry took the order and took out the equipment one by one, including treasure knives, crossbows, grenades, daggers, muskets, long-range and melee weapons, like a weapon warehouse. Zhao Liangchun patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "You are not a sergeant, you are purely a weapon warehouse. It is well prepared and very good."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "General Zhao knew that this cavalry is the pride of the entire army and is composed of elite soldiers specially ordered by the emperor to select from the entire army. They not only need extraordinary courage, skilled skills and tactics, tall physiques, but also skillful skills. Everyone has the same skill." He pointed to a tall cavalry and said, "For example, he was a veterinarian before joining the army and could cure horses. His nose was very smart, he was a good guide, and he could always find shortcuts."

"Your cavalry is the essence of the Song Dynasty. Only General Zhao Qian's Xuanjia cavalry can compare with you." Zhao Liangchun was very satisfied and said, "But you have to be careful. Your operation is quite difficult. The distance is long and there is no supply. All the supply has to be raised by yourself. I thought about it. Your operation is not only the journey of Wei Qing to attack Heshuo, but also the difficulty of General Cavalry attacking the Hexi Corridor without logistics supply. These two difficulties, no matter which one is, are difficult to solve, and it is very troublesome. You are all in one go, so you have to be careful."

Jie Jin and the European Army walked each other and said, "Please rest assured General Zhao. Wei Qing ran to Heshuo for a long distance, and his journey was 1,000 miles, but our journey was nearly 2,000 miles. General Piaoqi had no logistics when he attacked the Hexi Corridor, and that was because he fought on the territory controlled by the Huns. The difficulty was naturally greater. We were fighting in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and with the support of the people, the difficulties were much smaller. Besides, General Zhang Shijie had already created good conditions for us and was just waiting for us to go."

"That's right." Zhao Liangchun nodded in agreement and said, "Even so, the difficulties are not small. The military strategy says 'Before the army moves, food and grass will go first', and you are not only going back, but you still don't bring any food and grass. Be careful."

Jie Jin nodded and said, "Please rest assured, we will succeed!" Although there was only one sentence, it showed their confidence.

"Okay, it will definitely succeed!" Zhao Liangchun and Ou Junxing said in unison.

Zhao Liangchun said: "Then you go. I wish you success!"

"Sir, Mr. Xie." Jie Jin thanked Zhao Liangchun and sent an order. Twenty thousand cavalrymen lined up in an orderly manner and embarked on a new journey. This time they went, they would write a brilliant mark in Chinese history.

It was not until he could not see the shadow of this iron-blooded hero that Zhao Liangchun left reluctantly.

A messenger hurried into Zhang Shijie's command center, and then a series of orders were passed down, asking the generals to gather immediately. Since he arrived in Huaixi, Zhang Shijie has been hiding when he could. If he really couldn't hide, he would grind them with them. If he couldn't grind them, he would go around with them. It was the first time to summon them urgently like today. He felt that pies had fallen from the sky, but he would still smash them into his mouth. He didn't have to feel the comfort of reaching out and rushed over.

As soon as the generals arrived, Zhang Shijie appeared in military uniform, walked in strode, stood behind the patriarch, and glanced at the generals majestic. The generals clearly felt that this famous general was very different from the past, with different eyes. His previous eyes were clearly not shining, gray, and now he was bright and bright like the sun, as if he had changed.

"I know, you guys are very idle these days, and you are talking about me, Zhang Shijie, saying that I, Zhang Shijie, will not lead troops, have no courage, have exhausted ambitions, and dare not fight the Tartars." Zhang Shijie said in a surprising way, saying: "These are not unreasonable. Not only are you unsatisfied in Zhang Shijie's performance these days, but I am not satisfied with me, so everyone doesn't have to take it to heart. Even if you say that, Zhang Shijie will never pursue it."

As he said, the generals were very dissatisfied with his actions these days, and they couldn't help but complain in private, so they naturally wanted to discuss things with him. When the generals heard him mention it, they were very nervous, afraid that it would not be a trivial matter for him to pursue it. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that he would not pursue it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xin suffered the biggest loss, so he had already wanted to understand it and asked, "Sir, why is this? After thinking about it, he must have deployed some tricks. Can you tell us?" After suffering the loss, Jiang Xin was not angry at first, and then slowly thought about it, and actually came up with ideas for him.

What Jiang Xin said was exactly what the generals thought, and nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

"You're right." Zhang Shijie looked at Jiang Xin with approval and said, "I'm deploying. This is indeed a clever plan. However, the person who came up with this clever plan is not me, Zhang Shijie, but another expert. This is a big game of chess. If you go alive, not only Huaixi can be fully stabilized in a short period of time, but Huaidong, Qihuang, and Yinghan will be restored and stable at the fastest time."

He walked to the map and said, "We are responsible for the Huaixi land, with the purpose of sweeping Huaixi. Now, this game of chess has been almost done, and the most important steps have been taken. Let's see ours. From now on, the Huaixi army will start a major sweep of the Huaixi land!"

Zhang Shijie said confidently that the young face of the proposer of this plan appeared in front of him. Zhang Shijie clearly remembered that it was one morning. He went to the Military Academy to inspect as usual and stopped a young officer on the way, saying that there was a very important situation to report to him.

This officer is not very old, only twenty-four years old, but he is smart and capable in his work, giving people a sense of sophistication and stability. Zhang Shijie knew from his intuition that this young man must have something very important to him and invited this young officer to his house.

Sure enough, the young officer explained to him a way to quickly recover the places of Huaidong, Huaixi, Qihuang, and Yinghan. His overall idea was to require these places to act in a unified manner and make key breakthroughs. He concentrated an elite cavalry, made full use of the cavalry's rapid mobility capabilities, carried out long-distance raids on important locations, and defeated the heavy army groups of the Mongols in these areas with lightning speed, and then divided the troops to mobilize them.

His plan was very bold, and it can be said to be bold enough to take risks. With his keen insight, Zhang Shijie found that the young officer's plan was extremely likely to succeed. His tactics were completely different from the previous style of the Song army. It was another model. It mainly used the existing mobility of the Song army to conduct large-scale movements, conduct large-scale detours, large-scale encirclements, large-scale deep interludes, and long-distance raids. This is consistent with the theory proposed by Liao Shenggong. There is nothing novel about it, but it is more specific and has been processed into a plan that can be implemented.

His main feature is that he requires the concentration of large-scale technical troops to carry out devastating blows to the strategic goals of the Mongols, in order to make one blow fatal.

Li Jun once proposed the strategic goal of attacking the enemy, because of various reasons. It is precisely these reasons that Li Jun's idea of ​​forming a strategic force has not become a reality.

Zhang Shijie, who understood the benefits of this plan, immediately asked Zhao Liangchun, Gundam and Jie Jin to discuss it. After many speculations, the four of them unanimously agreed that this plan could not only succeed, but also create a miracle, that is, to restore a large amount of land in several months.

In order to implement this plan, the four of them discussed with the young officer and pondered various details. The most important part was that the cavalry unit of Jie Jin would shoulder the heavy responsibility and would move to various war zones. The combat mission was very heavy and required the power of camera decisions.

Jie Jin found Li Jun and asked Li Jun for the camera to decide the power. Li Jun always advocated letting them do it, and happily agreed. Only then did Jie Jin achieve unprecedented success in the long-distance raid and became a myth in the history of war.

This young officer has extraordinary understanding and amazing insight. In Gundam's words, it is "even better than that compared with General Liao." Zhang Shijie and the other two unanimously decided to recommend the young officer to Li Jun and use it.

The young officer immediately asked them not to tell Li Jun that he still wanted to complete his studies. Because he was also a student in the Military Academy, he liked to study and wanted to take advantage of the rare time now to read more books. In order to build an excellent military officer team, Li Jun spared no expenses, not only added many teaching facilities, but also specially purchased a large number of books from various places to place them in the Military Academy.

According to Zhang Shijie, this young officer was born to like studying, but his family was poor and could not afford a private school, so he always worked at home. But he was extremely smart and the crops he planted were always better than those of other people's families. What's even more rare is that he liked to help the villagers and teach his own experience of growing crops, so he was always rich in his hometown.

It was not until last year's winter recruitment that he joined the army. Because of his bravery, witty and flexible combat, he was highly valued by his superiors, he was selected to study in the Military Academy this year. There are so many books in the Military Academy, which is like entering heaven for young officers who like to study, and forget to eat and study hard every day.

Zhang Shijie and the others admired his talents very much and wanted him to come out to lead the troops as soon as possible. However, they were very sympathetic to his experience, so they were embarrassed to go against his wishes, so they had to agree and let him continue to study.

Gundam patted his shoulder and said excitedly: "Good boy, ambitious and has a bright future. The Song Dynasty will need talents like you. After this battle, we will recommend it to the emperor. By then, you will have made great contributions."
