Chapter 1234 Zhao Buxi's Immortal Tactics
When Wu Lin had some doubts, Zhao Buxi only had more doubts than him.

Wu Lin looked at Zhao Buxi incomprehensibly, and Zhao Buxi also looked at Wu Lin strangely.

Don't understand what I mean?

Zhao Buyi planned to explain his fairy tactics, but Wu Lin finally understood the emperor's idea of ​​asking such a question, so he answered decisively.

"Your Majesty, our army is limited in number, and we should concentrate our forces to take the lead in eliminating the bandit army closest to the place, in order to restore the stability of these two states as soon as possible, and then continue to attack according to the marching route.

As long as the pacified area is quickly resolved, production can be resumed quickly, which may relieve some of the pressure on food and salaries, and prepare for the shameless sneak attacks by the Ming army and the Lin'an puppet army that may come later. "

After listening to Wu Lin's explanation, Zhao Buxi felt that it was not in line with his own thoughts, so he decisively said the immortal tactics that he had just planned in his mind that would definitely quell the peasant uprising in Sichuan and Shu.

"How many people are there in the bandit army? How many people are there in our army? Wu Xianggong, the Ministry of Household said, [-] troops, five months, what else do you need to worry about? You can divide the [-] troops into ten or even twenty. !
Even if it is twenty, divided equally, an army can have 500 people, which is considered a very strong force. Although the bandit army is huge, there are 500 bandit soldiers who can cause chaos ?

Allocating these troops to different places to fight the rebellion. The thief army has just rebelled and has no fighting strength at all. As long as our army goes there, it will definitely win, and at most two months, the rebellion can be quelled! "

After Zhao Buxi finished talking about his fairy tactics, Wu Lin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

He felt that it was not very meaningful to discuss his immortal tactic with Zhao Buxi now. This immortal tactic would probably require the command of the soldier immortal Han Xin or the soldier saint Sun Wu to be successful.

But he also felt that if Han Xin and Sun Wu encountered such a war, they would have to fight Zhao Bunqi first so that he would not be blindly commanding, and then arrange the military affairs calmly.

It is a pity that the ancestors passed away, and only later generations suffered.

Wu Lin sighed and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the most taboo thing about marching and expeditions is multi-line expeditions. If it weren't for the rise of thieves, I would even just want the army to go all the way. Now two-way battle is a more risky arrangement. The staffing of each army is limited. The transport personnel are also limited, and if there are too many, it will be very troublesome to advance.”

Zhao Buxi shook his head again and again, feeling that it was impossible.

"I can send people to help with the transportation of food and salaries. I will arrange for you how many people and how many vehicles you need. How can you only divide the [-] troops into two groups? Not to mention ten, at least five, right? The five troops will be dispatched together, Five states can be pacified at one time, then ten states, and all of them will be pacified, will the whole process take two months?”

It seems that although Zhao Buxi has never fought a war, Zhao Buxi has obviously been full of skills on paper, and has already drawn a picture of the victory of the entire battle in his mind.

The generals and officials looked at each other, wanting to say something, but facing the emperor, no one knew what to say, and finally looked at Wu Lin collectively.

They hoped that Wu Lin could say something to stop the emperor who did not know much about military affairs.

So Wu Lin tried to explain to Zhao Buxi how difficult it is to fight on multiple fronts and why there is a saying in the art of war that "the use of troops on two fronts has been a taboo in the military since ancient times".

The battle is about logistics, and it is no problem to divide troops on multiple lines, but have you considered the pressure of logistics and whether logistics will curse mother?
However, Zhao Buyi seems to understand that the use of troops on the "two fronts" is a taboo in the military, so wouldn't there be no problem with the three-line, four-line, and five-line operations?
So many troops, so many generals, so many manpower and material resources, obviously can fight with three heads and six arms, but they have to fight with one fist and one fist. I am tired even if you are not tired.

Hurry up and fight, if we don't fight again, our Chengdu court will be finished!
"But Your Majesty..."

"Wu Xianggong! The country's fortunes are difficult, and those who are capable work harder. You, a capable man who is good at using troops, are now the favor of the entire court. If you can't quell the rebellion as soon as possible, what do you want the entire court to think of you? What do you want the entire court to think of me? "

Zhao Buyi approached Wu Lin with a serious face and said in a low voice: "I stay in the Privy Council every day to discuss military affairs with you, to support you, to prevent you from being criticized by courtiers because of your status as a military general, and to let you be at ease. Use soldiers.

And this kind of behavior of mine has already made the ministers in the DPRK quite criticized. They all think that I favor you too much, which is not good for the government. If you can't fight some beautiful battles to keep those people from continuing to talk, my pressure will also be very large. "

Wu Lin was completely speechless.

Fucking military affairs need to consider a bunch of shameless bureaucrats who talk about it?
Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, when did he rely on those bastards who only talk about their tongues?

Those bastards who only know how to eat but don’t know where the food comes from, those retarded children who have only learned how to eat with chopsticks since they were children, relying on them, the Song Dynasty has perished [-] times a long time ago!

Wu Lin covered his forehead and wanted to say something, but Zhao Buxi directly reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Wu Xianggong, the fate of the country is difficult. Everything is in your hands. I hand over the fate of the country and my destiny to you. You can't let me down."

In a word, Wu Lin's retreat was blocked, and Wu Lin suddenly felt like a pig being roasted on the fire.

He doesn't want to divide troops to fight at all. Dividing troops to fight, especially the things that need to be considered and arranged in the use of troops above two lines, is not a simple one plus one plus one. Sometimes the difficulty increases exponentially, especially in terms of logistics, the difficulty directly explodes exponentially. .

If we really want to fight on the three fronts, the logistics will collapse before the front line has been fought much.

This time, he has been careful, careful and careful in arranging the two-front battle. He has made a lot of arrangements, and he takes care of the logistics work in the center, and then he can use the two-line battle strategy with confidence, but now the emperor actually asks him to double.

He wanted to refuse, but Zhao Buxi just looked at him like that, his eyes sincere and full of expectation.

no solution anymore.

Wu Lin could only follow Zhao Buxi's request and planned to enter the army in four ways. As a result, Zhao Buxi still felt that it was inappropriate. He should go out in five ways and strive to quell all the rebels within a month.

In this way, even if the Ming Kingdom and the Lin'an Puppet Dynasty wanted to send troops to intervene, it was simply too late.

Wu Lin was in a hurry and almost fell to the Privy Council on the spot. Zhao Buxiu saw that the 60-something old man couldn't hold on any longer, so he reluctantly gave up.

Slow down a little bit. Although it is difficult to accept the four-way army, it is not completely unacceptable. I am afraid of you!

It was a foregone conclusion that the four-way advance was a foregone conclusion. Wu Lin worked hard to plan the advance route and logistics route, and then arranged their own tasks for the two extra troops. The workload soared for this reason. Sleep well, the whole person is tired and thin.

Zhao Bunxi was a bit conscientious, and he transferred the imperial doctor who took care of him to take care of Wu Lin, and the medicated meals made of various precious medicinal materials were given priority to Wu Lin to give him a good supplement.

I don't know what the effect will be after making it up. Anyway, I see that Wu Lin's spirit is a little better, but not much better. However, Zhao Buxi doesn't really hope that Wu Lin will lead the attack in person, and he hopes that he will stay in Chengdu. Make Dinghaishen needle.

In mid-February of the seventh year of Hongwu, that is, the second year of Yanxing of the Chengdu court, the army of the Chengdu court attacked——

Originally, Wu Lin planned to postpone the attack until March, thinking that it would be more appropriate to prepare for a four-way attack, but when the news of the Longzhou Uprising's attack on Guangdu reached Chengdu, Zhao Buxi couldn't bear it. He stopped, indicating that he must hit the insurgents with heavy punches.

I dare to attack Chengdu now, and I can't even think about what I dare to do in the future. If I don't attack now, won't I be hung on the southeast branch as a pendant in the future?

So Zhao Buxi disregarded Wu Lin's dissuasion and could not listen to Wu Lin's judgment that [the thieves could not break through the Guangdu line of defense], and strongly urged Wu Lin to send troops to crusade the rebels.

Wu Lin couldn't ignore Zhao Buxi's opinion, and after several attempts to dissuade him, he had no choice but to order the dispatch of troops.

On February [-], the seventh year of Hongwu, the Song army attacked Huaian Army, Jianzhou, Meizhou and Longzhou in four directions.
