Chapter 1008 I support Zhang Qing (two updates in one)(2/2)
Li Xiandao: "Could it be that Zhang Jinglue is so handsome that he can only defend but not attack?"
Zhang Kai said: "It's not that we can't attack, it's just that our troops are not well-trained, so sending troops hastily will have no chance of winning."
No matter what Li Xian said, Zhang Kai repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers are not yet mature.
Zhang Kai also used a large number of martial arts students who came from Imperial College to train the new army.
At the beginning, Zhang Yue reformed Taixue and divided the students' homework into classics and meanings and governance.
Among them, governing affairs includes governing the people, martial arts, arithmetic, water conservancy, law, history, etc. In addition to the homework of classics and meanings, Tai students must choose one discipline to govern affairs. Imperial students who study martial arts are called Wusheng.
To be honest, Song soldiers from all walks of life in the world do not like to see martial arts students who were born as imperial students.
Since the Civil War and the Civil War, military generals and civil servants have seemed to be two systems, with a natural gap. This is completely different from the scholars in the Han and Tang dynasties who were able to run the army on horseback and the people when dismounted.
Of course, the Song Dynasty was also based on the awareness of preventing the disasters of the Five Dynasties, deliberately pitting them against each other, and even created conflicts between civil servants and military generals.
Therefore, only the Song Army on Xihe Road was willing to accept these martial arts students.
Anyway, the Art of War has destroyed the system in which generals do not know soldiers and soldiers do not know generals, and have formed an integration of training and combat. So it does not matter whether scholars lead the army or run the army.
If you want soldiers and horses to be able to fight, it is best to use the system of Jiedushi. There is no doubt about this.
Zhang Kai is now extremely committed to making great achievements, and also has the victory over Xihe River, so everything is focused on efficiency, and he is not afraid of offending others.
First of all, he found that scholars came to run the army, and the effect was indeed good. He first achieved immediate results in military discipline.
Secondly, he learns quickly. When he was in Taixue, martial arts students usually learned what is the method of running a military and the key points of generalship. When he first led the army, the theory could not keep up with the practice, but once he got familiar with it, he would be a good hand.
Therefore, Zhang Kai had great confidence in the soldiers and horses he had trained, and waited for him to make a big splash in the future and succeed in a battle, so as to fulfill his ambition of reaching the top of the clouds.
Now that the troops and horses were halfway through training, Zhang Kai was definitely unwilling to use the troops.
Li Xian and Zhang Kai quarreled so much that they refused to give in.
Li Xian thought to himself that before the Battle of Taoshui, he had not let Zhang Kai lead the army, how could he be promoted to the post of military envoy of Xihe Road, but now he was opposed to him.
The two quarreled fiercely.
Zhang Kai replied to Li Xian: "If we send troops to Huangzhou now and fail, everyone will blame me in the future, and we will not suffer at all!"
Li Xian said angrily: "Since you said that about me, then you and I will each write a memorial and go to the emperor to see who is right and who is wrong."
Zhang Kai said: "Write as you write."
So Zhang Kai and Li Xian had a falling out on the spot, and they went back and went to the emperor.
Zhang Kai also felt that it was a bit reckless to quarrel with Li Xian this time. If the officials were angry and ordered Xihe and Lui to be dismissed, then his previous efforts would not be wasted.
So Zhang Kai thought for a while and wrote a letter asking Zhang Yue to speak for him in front of the emperor.
The imperial official gave the memorials of Li Xian and Zhang Kai to Zhang Yue Dao: "Qing Zhang, what should I do?"
Zhang Yue already knew from Zhang Kai's letter the reason for the quarrel between the two.
Regarding this letter, Zhang Yue was a little speechless when he received it.
Why?
It’s not that after Zhang Kai’s great victory at Taoshui, he felt a little restless.
Zhang Kai used a scholar to command the army and achieved this great feat, winning the greatest victory since the Song Dynasty fought against Xia. His expansion was foreseeable by Zhang Yue.
If Zhang Yue had suddenly won such a big victory back then, he would have definitely lost his temper.
After all, Zhang Yue was still young, so he couldn't help but control himself at this time. He thought that all of this was his own merit, so he looked down upon Zhang Yue and Li Xian who had recommended him.
This is also a common problem among many scholars. After getting good grades in exams, they always forget to thank their teachers for their cultivation. Although you mostly rely on yourself to study, you also need to rely on teachers to introduce you.
However, Zhang Yue was fine with Zhang Yue, but the letters they exchanged in the past two years were a bit harsh.
But as for Li Xian's respect, it can be seen from Wang Hou's message to Zhang Yue that it is definitely a decline visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, this conflict between Zhang Kai and Li Xian can be regarded as inevitable.
Now that the official sent the two memorials to Zhang Yue, it shows that he is also somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Kai.
The attack on Huangzhou was ordered by Li Xian from the officials. Now that Zhang Kai was disobeying the order, he obviously did not take the emperor's order seriously.
Zhang Yue said to the officials: "Your Majesty, Huangzhou is bound to be won."
"Please look!"
On the map of Chongzheng Hall, Zhang Yue continued to draw the map for the emperor.
For Guan Jia, he has looked at every corner of the map countless times.
Zhang Yue pointed at the picture and said to the officials: "What I want to do is to send troops from Xizhou to capture Lanzhou, then cross the Yellow River from Lanzhou and go north via the Zhuanglang River Valley of Zhuola Military Supervisor of Xixia to attack Liangzhou. This is
The Story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Cutting Off the Right Arm of the Huns."
"But to take Liangzhou, we must first take Huangzhou. If Huangzhou cannot be taken, Qingtang and Xixia can send troops at any time to cut off the connection between Lanzhou and Liangzhou."
Looking north on the map.
Starting from Huangzhou and further north is Tong'an City in Xixia. In another time and space history, Tong Guan forced Liu Fa to send troops, but was defeated in Tong'an City.
Zhang Yue took this route to attack Xia from Xihe Road.
After the officials became familiar with it, although he still advocated a frontal attack on Hengshan, he did not object to Zhang Yue's surprise attack on Liangzhou and Lanzhou from Xihe Road to complete the strategic plan of cutting off Xixia's right arm.
The official strategy was similar to that of Xining in the third year, with the front of Hengshan as the main focus and the side of Xihe Road as the second priority.
The official said: "If Liangzhou is captured once, the Silk Road of Xia Kingdom will be cut off. This is also a must-have strategy for attacking the enemy."
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, there is no room for error in taking Huangzhou. I believe that the opinions of the local commanders are very important. Since Zhang Kai has not sent troops in a memorial, if he is forced to send troops to attack Huangzhou, if he loses, it will not betray me."
The army's winning streak in Xihe."
"I thought your Majesty still wanted to listen to your commander-in-chief's opinion!"
The official said: "You can't listen to everything. I heard that Zhang Kai was training troops in Xihe, specializing in military affairs for the general affairs, and giving and receiving the country's favor privately as his own favor."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, who is stabbing someone in the back?
Zhang Yue knew deep down in his heart that the officials were both using you and guarding against your imperial ambitions.
Zhang Yue said angrily: "Your Majesty, there is only one class of people in the world who spend their lives in vain and achieve nothing, but they only think about slandering others, and they always do it in the name of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. In my opinion, these people are really mistreating the emperor.
Mislead the people.”
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, Yuan Jiang, who was standing aside, objected: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. The purpose of the country is to quell thieves, but not to create thieves. If the Xia Kingdom is so unfair, what should we do if another thief arises? We must prevent disasters.
Yu Weiran!"
Zhang Yue glanced at Yuan Jiang, this person always hindered him at just the right moment.
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, don't use people you doubt, and don't trust people when you employ them. If this is the case, the border ministers will not do anything. Why should your Majesty use Zhang Qi in Xihe? Wouldn't it be better to replace him with those mature and prudent people?"
Zhang Yue said something about the officials' eagerness to make achievements in Xixia.
The officials thought that nothing would happen if Li Xian was there to look after him. In the future, Zhang Kai would be transferred after he had made meritorious service.
The official said to Zhang Yue: "Then what should I do in Zhang Qing's opinion?"
Chapter completed!
