Chapter 786 It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Gao family's army thirteen
Located in the desert, the official office in Baichi City, Yanzhou, which is famous for its abundant production of green salt, has now been employed as the military banner of Gao Qiu, the commander of Xingling Xuanfu, the commander of the Song Dynasty, the commander of the six military affairs of Goushuofang, Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Xihe, Hexi, and the commander of Gao Qiu, the commander of the Privy Council.
Inside and outside Baichi City, there were strong guards and soldiers gathered. Inside and outside the city, everyone was in urgent need of horses to report to the news from Jingyuan, Xihe, Hexi and other routes, and then passed it back to Kaifeng Prefecture, the central Song Dynasty from the Gaoqi Mansion in Yanzhou.
The two Transportation Authorities on Shuofang Road and Shaanxi Road also sent officials to set up Transportation Authorities in Baichi City. The Pacification Authorities of Shuofang, Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Xihe, Hexi and other five routes also set up government offices in Baichi City. In addition to Tong Guan from Shuofang Road personally, the other five routes also sent their confidant Jiyi to listen to the drums at Baichi City. Every morning, they had to go to the gate of Gao Taiwei's gate to listen to the drums and accept orders handed down by Gao Xuan. The entire army of the six northwest routes seemed to have been under the unified command of the invincible Gao Taiwei.
The way Gao Taiwei commanded this huge and scattered army is very simple to say, as long as he can curse people and write his own name, there is basically no problem. Because the military command that Wu Haogu "leased" to him is quite powerful!
The military opportunity who came from dozens of Western Army generals, who had been in the Military Academy for four years (including one year of knight training), and had been practicing military affairs for two years on the Northwest battlefield, are now divided into several cities, responsible for "fighting", "training", "military orders", "logistics", and "intelligence", each performs its own duties and takes charge of one.
Various "strategies" were formulated by them in the shortest time and submitted to the Taiwei Gao Qiu, who actually didn't understand it very much. After he issued the instructions, he could issue them and execute them.
This way of leading troops to command is actually not very new to the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty. Because the pacifiers from all over the country can recruit positions and have many opportunities to give advice to themselves. However, for some reason, the pacifiers of the Song Dynasty always like to use literati as their own opportunities to appease the pacifiers, but they are in charge of military affairs, but they use a group of literati with no military experience to give advice. The effect can be imagined. I have never seen anything on the battlefield, and it is definitely not a high probability that the idea can work.
In addition, an army cannot rely on strange strategies to gain a foothold. Strict daily management and careful arrangement on the battlefield are the key to being invincible. These things cannot be done by laymen!
By the way, in later generations and dramas, you can often see a bunch of military advisors shaking goose-feather fans giving advice to the generals or warlords. This actually reflects the situation after the Song Dynasty began to implement the "special path of civil and military affairs". Before the Song Dynasty, civil and military officials were not special. Of course, there were also literati with no military power. Perhaps they would also appear in the military, but they were definitely not mainstream. In that era, most of the people who held positions in the court were nobles or great geniuses. Who would raise a bunch of retainers who had no ability to do anything and could only be literary and elegant? Even if you wanted to pretend to be a great literary genius, they would pretend to be the great nobles themselves. How could you spend money to hire a group of subordinates to show off?
Because there is a group of military opportunities that are not pretentious and capable of doing practical things. Inside and outside Yanzhou City, there is only a rare stern and ruthless atmosphere left in the Song Dynasty. This is not the experience of a general who plays a role, but a team of dozens of people assisting. Everyone is diligent and devoted to this war, and of course, everything can be dispatched in an orderly manner.
The most immediate effect was the organization and training of the six generals, the main force of the Shuofang Army. Compared with Wu Haogu's departure from Shuofang Road, this army was not only more strict, but also larger in scale. In addition to the "fighting palace soldiers", the "auxiliary palace soldiers" were also in place, and were assigned to each general, division, and battalion.
The cavalry that has always troubled Gao Qiu and Tong Guan have also been resolved. Under the suggestion of military affairs, the Shuofang Road Fufu Department implemented the "Knight Field System" and used up to 2,000 acres of Shuofang Road land use rights (40 years of use rights). Not only can the Han knights from the Sixth Road in Shaanxi apply for recruitment, but also can apply for recruitment from foreign knights from all over the country.
So within more than a month, thousands of people were surrendered to the command of Taiwei Gao, and finally filled the cavalry battalions needed by the six generals of the new palace soldiers. Moreover, Gao Qiu's 500 black armored front-strike cavalry was retained and became an armored cavalry unit directly under Gao Qiu.
After gathering together the cavalry and auxiliary troops, the total strength of the six generals of the new government army alone reached 50,000!
In addition, the Sanzhi Army has not been transferred back to Kaifeng Prefecture, but led by Yang Keshi and continued to listen to Gao Qiu's command. However, the number of people has been greatly reduced, leaving only less than 4,500 warriors, 500-600 knights, as well as auxiliary soldiers and auxiliary cavalry, with a total of less than 8,000.
Now the six generals' mentors, the Sanzhi Imperial Army, and an elite cavalry transferred from the Fuyan Road have all gathered in Baichi City, Yanzhou, with a total force of more than 62,000 people.
It can be said that it is unprecedentedly powerful. It can cross the desert to feint attack Xingling at any time to cooperate with Hexi and Xihe armies to rescue Gao Yongnian and Zhong Shiji who were trapped in Qin Wangchuan.
...
On the streets in Baichi City, Yanzhou, the sound of horses and bells sounded. Several riders rushed over with silver medals and whips. The soldiers patrolling on the road dodged one after another, not daring to stop them at all.
Everyone knows that this is an urgent silver medal from Shuibo City or Tiandu Mountain! The ones who are transported are the military newspapers of Hexi Fushi and Jingyuan Fushi, although they are unwilling to do so, Zhong Fushi, who "makes mistakes" and Lu Huiqing, who "does not want to make mistakes", are still pinching their noses and obeying the command of Taiwei Gao...
Now, the army led by Gao Yongnian and Zhong Shiji have been surrounded by Qin Wangchuan for nearly a month! If we don’t find a way to rescue the siege, we may have annihilated the 50,000 army (actually less than 40,000).
Although Zhong Fu had pieced together 30,000 troops and handed them over to Wang Shunchen and Liu Fa, facing the Khitan Party Xiang coalition, whose total strength could reach 110,000, Zhong Fu, who knew about the troops, did not dare to send troops at all.
As for Lu Huiqing, he reported to Zhao Ji that Cai Jing and Zhong Fu were Diao's words, and while collecting 30,000 troops from Jingyuan Road and handing them over to the general Zhe Keshi, he was ready to attack Lingzhou at any time.
According to the strategy formulated by Gao Qiu's military opportunities, the rescue operations will use the idea of siege Wei to rescue Zhao, and Gao Qiu personally commanded a 60,000 army, attacked from Baichi City, and ventured across the desert of the sea to attract the attention of the Western thieves. Then Zhe Keshi will lead his army to raid Lingzhou again to cover Gao Qiu's main force withdrew from the east bank of Xinghuang River.
Of course, the specific plan was formulated very thoroughly, especially the action plan of the main force led by Gao Qiu crossing the desert twice, which was so strict that each soldier could drink water several times a day.
Several urgent handicaps from Shui Bocheng came to the yamen office, flipped off the saddle, took the lead and raised the silver medal high, and reported loudly: "I am the silver medal sent by Zhong Shuaisi! If there is an urgent military situation, we will meet Xuan Shuai!"
A commander who commanded and governed military affairs immediately took the silver medal and checked it out, and immediately said: "Don't know the rules? If you have any military information, you will be sent to all military information under the command of military affairs."
Gao Qiu, the commander of the sixth line, is really a bit like a puppet of military affairs. Even the upload and delivery of military affairs is the custom of Wu Haogu. Military affairs command subordinates have special military affairs, so they only care about this matter.
The Xiao Wuchen, who was sent by the Hexi Supervisor, was stunned and immediately took out a string of copper coins and handed them on it. He said in a begging tone: "This Dutou, I have been ordered by Zhong Shuaisi, and I will be reported to the General Xuan in person... Moreover, there are rules in the army, and those who hold silver medals will be seen. I hope the Dutou will report the rules. This is an urgent task and cannot be delayed!"
The soldier smiled bitterly: "What are you doing? I am not a big mansion, I am just a worthless soldier... But it is useless to see Taiwei Gao. Taiwei is not in charge of affairs. Military affairs are commanded by military affairs and Taiwei Wang, the general manager of the Shuofang Road Army, and Taiwei Gao nodded."
The Grand Marshal Wang is Wang Bing. He also worked with Zhao Zhongge. He worked in the Military Science Department under the leadership of Murong Wangyou for several years. He has learned his skills! And later he presided over the establishment of the Sanzhi Army with Gao Qiu, who was actually Gao Qiu's deputy. Now he is still fighting for Gao Qiu, not only took over the order of the general manager of the Shuofang Road Military and Madu, but also managed the affairs with Li Yongqi, the commander of military affairs.
Gao Qiu himself is a hand-off manager. These days, in addition to complaining about Wu Haogu in front of Tong Guan, he also burns incense and worships Buddha in the Baichi Temple next to his own government office.
Today is no exception. He is now telling Tong Guan that Wu Haogu is not the case.
"I really know people but not my heart! Fortunately, I was a brother that day, but he treated me like this. It wasn't enough to put me on the fire, but I had to add more firewood... How can I have a good life now? Xingling Xuanfu, the commander of the Sixth Route, and also a co-master of the Privy Council! If I win again, wouldn't I be a Privy Councilor? How could I do this? Even Di Wuxiang can't do anything well, how could I do it well..."
Tong Guan looked at Gao Qiu with sympathy. In fact, the strength of the Shuofang Road military soldiers was shared by him and Gao Qiu. Now Gao Qiu is no longer the general manager of the Shuofang Road military soldiers, but is just commanding and driving the Shuofang Army with prestige and military opportunities. Tong Guan is the real commander of the Shuofang Army!
Moreover, Tong Guan actually wanted to help Gao Qiu take the blame... He was not afraid of being Di Wuxiang. He didn't have the man to usurp the throne! It was not that there was no one to spread the situation, but it was impossible. The Han people looked down on eunuchs who had less than a few taels of meat, and it was impossible to recognize a eunuch as the emperor, so he was not worried that people would discredit the traitor who had planned to usurp the throne.
