I’m The King Chapter 955: :Huanghuang Hanwei (seventy-nine)
The stone fort was built on the top of the highest mountain in Penglai Island. Standing in front of the fort, one can overlook the entire island and the nearby sea. After a glimpse, he put everything aside and went to the fort with Bai Yucheng.
"Ye Shangshu, do you have any major strategic plans this time?" The screen retreated, leaving only Bai Yucheng and Hutou in the stone room.
Ye Zhong didn't speak, walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand, drew a big circle in one of the areas, and turned his head to look at Bai Yucheng.
"Take the initiative to take these areas?" Bai Yucheng asked.
"That's right!" Ye focused on nodding, returned to the table, and walked down." The domestic situation has been initially brought under control, production and life are on the right track, the Liaodong Peninsula has stabilized, and the king has learned from Kumamoto and Luo Weiran. Two infantry divisions were transferred back, and only one infantry division was kept as a left-behind. Luo Weiran also came back. As for the Hetao area, this year's harvest is good, and the millions of acres of fertile land newly reclaimed must have a good harvest. These are all new additions income."
"In terms of military affairs, the copper and iron mine discovered in Jidao, Liaodong has already started to be mined, which has greatly relieved the pressure on our Pinglu iron mine. The weapons for a large-scale battle are in preparation, and the reorganization and expansion of the four major armies is also proceeding smoothly. According to the plan of the king, each of the four armies will have 60,000 combat troops and 10,000 logistics support arms. Other needs will be temporarily recruited during the war, and the Young Guards will also be expanded into the Young Guards Corps. The original 20,000 people will be expanded to 50,000. In this way, my big man will have nearly 30 regular combat soldiers Thousands of people, this does not include your Qilu Corps, these tasks will be completed within this year. Next year, it will be time for us to completely solve the problem of Qi, so, this year, your Qilu Corps will start to move."
Hearing Ye Zhong's words, Bai Yucheng's expression became excited, "That is to say, I will take the initiative to expand the territory and influence."
"That's right, the fierce battle between the Qi State and the Zatian brothers is in full swing, the domestic social conflicts are intensifying, the people are displaced, and the heavy taxes make the people miserable and unbearable. The son signed the cession of Judu as a basis, and negotiated with Chu State, which stimulated Chu State to intensify its offensive in Judu, and Mr. Tian is already a bit difficult to resist." Ye Zhong laughed.
"If all of Ju were taken away by the people of Chu, wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others?" Bai Yucheng frowned.
"So you have to make a strong appearance. The focus of the attack is the Gaotang area under the control of the second son of Tian. Of course, if you want, you can also **** a little bit of the Pinlu under the control of the eldest son. Of course, you have to distinguish between the serious and the important. Hit the second son, and hit the rabbit by the way to hit the first son, the main point here is to prevent people from seeing your intentions in a short time." Ye Zhongdao.
"If we focus on attacking Tian Fucheng, it will definitely reduce Tian Yuanyuan's military pressure, so that he can dispatch more troops to resist the Chu army in Judu, right?" Bai Yucheng said.
"This is just one of them. You fight on both sides, but the focus is on Tian Fucheng's side. After a long time, Mr. Tian's side will definitely find this out. They will think you are a target worth wooing, and they will definitely send you Someone came to recruit you." Ye Zhong smiled.
"So we took advantage of the situation to accept the recruitment and became a member of the first son Tian's camp, and then launched an attack on the second son Tian with all our strength, pulling both sides to balance the power." Bai Yucheng said.
"That's right, bring the two sides back to balance and let them kill more brutally, so as to lay a good foundation for us to solve the affairs of Qi next year." Ye Qiang nodded: "Mr. Wang Pei is still Cheng Siwei, both of whom are great generals. Although Mr. Tian occupies the title of righteousness and has the puppet of King Qi, there are not many people under his command who can use him. The only one who can fight is Tian Jingwen. This is also the reason why Mr. Tian is retreating. If you join in, it will be very different."
"I have no experience in commanding a large army!" Bai Yucheng rubbed his chin and said with a guilty conscience: "Whether it is against Wang Pei or Cheng Siwei, the chances of winning are not very good."
"You are too self-effacing!" Ye Zhong laughed, "not to mention that the fierce battle in Ertian over the past year has caused a large number of experienced soldiers to be reduced, and the rapid increase in new recruits has reduced their combat effectiveness. , the fighting power of our Han army alone is enough to destroy them. In addition, the King of Han has decided to send you a staff team to help you plan and plan. All you have to do is to issue orders."
"Advisor?" Bai Yucheng asked in surprise.
"Well, the staff department of Jishicheng Military University has officially graduated this year. From now on, each legion will set up a staff department. The commander of a large corps only decides the general direction and strategic planning, while the specific tactical actions will be decided. Leave it to these professional staff officers to formulate, what the commander does is to issue combat orders according to the plan formulated by the staff department." Ye Zhong explained.
"Is this okay? Some rookies who graduated from school can take on such a heavy responsibility? If there is a mistake, wouldn't it kill the entire army?" Bai Yucheng said anxiously, this is the first time for him to fight in this way I have heard and never heard of any country that has done this before?
"One man's skills are weak, but everyone's skills are strong!" Ye Zhong said: "In the past, the battle relied entirely on the command and control of the battlefield by one general, so it was said that one general was incompetent and killed the three armies, but a staff group, before the war started Before the start of the war, we will predict the problems that may be encountered in the war, design a response plan, and minimize the possibility of emergencies. Minimize the instability of the battle, of course, it does not rule out unexpected events When the situation happens, it depends on the commander's on-the-spot response ability. In short, the establishment of the staff department will transfer the war from the commander's personal safety to more people, reducing the risk factor. Besides, this first The staff officers who graduated in the first batch are not the rookies you say. When Hanwang established this department, it took this issue into full consideration. After systematic training, it was re-released. At that time, Hanwang even went to teach them in person. As far as I know, these staff officers have learned much more than other subjects. , customs, etc. are all-encompassing. Otherwise, the students of other subjects have graduated for several periods, and the first period of the staff department has just graduated? The elimination rate of this subject is as high as 50%, which is also among the subjects The student with the highest elimination rate."
"Such a high elimination rate?" Bai Yucheng was taken aback. He knew that the elimination rate for subjects such as command department was only about 20%.
Bai Yucheng nodded, "I personally presided over the graduation exam this time, and it's a pity that I was eliminated in the end. This person had always been ranked first in various exams before, but in the final exam It is embarrassing to be ruthlessly eliminated in a contingency test because of a wrong instruction!"
"Since you are number one in all items, how can you be eliminated if you lose your awareness in the item of response?" Bai Yucheng asked strangely.
"It's very simple. The last item was set by the King of Han himself. In this simulated battle, the only possible condition for our army to win is to give up a division that may be surrounded by the enemy. , After hesitating for a while, this student gave the opposite combat order, he deployed his troops and wanted to rescue the division, but naturally the more he went, the more he died."
"Thousands of people are tens of thousands, even me, I can't give up!" Bai Yucheng sighed.
"In the end, King Han's evaluation is that he is a good man, but he is not suitable for a staff officer, nor is he suitable for being a general. He can only command the strength of a division at most. He is naturally eliminated."
Bai Yucheng said in shock: "Hanwang's evaluation will crucify the future of this student."
"Who says it's not!" Ye Zhong shook his head, "You can only gain if you give up. The battle situation at that time was to use this division as a bait in exchange for victory in the entire battlefield. This person died because he felt sorry for the soldiers of a division. It is naturally not advisable to ultimately lead to the failure of the entire grand strategy.”
"Although I have some sympathy, but when I think about it carefully, it makes sense!" Bai Yucheng was also very regretful, "How many staff officers did you send me this time?"
"In the next year, you will be the focus here, so this time a total of twelve people will come. The eight of them have all arrived at the Ministry of War for the time being, how is it? The King of Han attaches great importance to you, right?" Ye Chong laughed.
Bai Yucheng laughed, "This is your idea, use my place as a testing ground for these staff officers, let them experience actual combat and gain experience, Ye Shangshu, if you dare to say that these people will not be removed from If my Qilu Legion is transferred away, I will obey you."
Ye Zhong laughed a few times, "How is this possible? The one who came to your place this time was the best among the thirty graduates, and I will not hide it from you. In this year, only you have had a large-scale war. , Let them experience actual combat, and next year, someone will definitely be transferred from you, enriched to other troops, and form a new staff department!"
"I knew it was like this!" Bai Yucheng smiled, "This is the big man's big game, I naturally have nothing to say, but I have to leave some for me when the time comes, and I can't be used as a test field. When it was time to harvest, you cut it all away with a single knife.”
"Of course, when the time comes, you choose, and I'll transfer you after you finish."
"It's almost the same!" Bai Yucheng was overjoyed. (To be continued)
