Chapter 129 Zhao Yucheng does not understand politics

Zhao Kaihe was right.

Zhao Kaishan is actually not happy these days.

Su Yonglin had just won a big victory, and the limelight was in full swing. Everyone was talking about how he defeated Jin Jun and respected him, but Zhao Kaishan seemed to be left out.

Zhao Kaishan was very dissatisfied with this. He felt that as the leader, he did not get the respect he deserved. Everyone was discussing Su Yonglin, ignoring him, and neglecting him, which made him feel a sense of gap.

The people who were always around him and touted him before were obviously touting Su Yonglin now, as if Su Yonglin was the soul of the Restoration Army.

But Zhao Kaishan is not a fool. He also knows that respect comes from strength and military merit. As long as military merit is strong, he can naturally get enough respect. If military merit is not strong, respect is empty and temporary.

Therefore, he must fight a hearty victory to tell all the members of the Restoration Army - Zhao Lingshuai is the strongest.

And that requires a hearty victory!

So he looked at Zhao Kaihe.

"To take the initiative to attack, it must be a field battle, and the golden thieves will inevitably dispatch cavalry. Our cavalry is not very strong, and we have lost two small-scale battles, not to mention that the golden thieves still have [-] troops. In this situation, what are you going to do? beat?"

"He can't put all 2 people on the battlefield, and we can only fight between a few thousand people. In this case, of course, we should form an formation to fight against him. He has cavalry, and our army has tens of thousands of troops behind him. If we dare to increase our troops, we will also increase our troops."

Zhao Kaihe said eloquently: "The golden thief has come from a long way, and he must not have enough energy to fight for a long time. Our army is waiting for work, and the number is large, and there are tens of thousands of reserve troops to rely on, how can it be invincible?"

It seems reasonable, but in fact it is empty, Zhao Kaishan is still quite uneasy about this.

He was very afraid of the cavalry of the Jin Army, worried that the army formation on his side would not be able to withstand the deterrence of the cavalry, and would be easily destroyed by the cavalry. Once the army formation was destroyed, the cavalry would really be a one-sided massacre against the infantry.

Seeing this, Zhao Kaihe said again: "In the past, our army had less than 1 people, and the commander dared to attack the entire Shandong East Road. Now we have [-] troops, but why does the leader dare not attack the mere [-] gold thieves?" Have you launched an attack?"

Zhao Kaihe's aggressive approach made Zhao Kaishan's heart shake a little bit.

This is indeed the case in Dao Li, how can he be so worried now that he was desperate at first?
His position began to falter.

Zhao Yucheng thought about it and thought it shouldn't be like this. He was about to have a head-to-head debate with Zhao Kaihe, but he remembered Su Yonglin's advice to him, so he suppressed the idea of ​​​​debate.

He turned to persuade Zhao Kaishan.

"Leader, although the golden thief is tired, but after all, there are thousands of cavalry, and the mobility is very strong, and our army lacks cavalry and moves slowly. Once it leaves the camp, the advancing and retreating troops will be threatened by cavalry and fall into a passive state. , is not the best policy.

In the current situation, the best way is still to be unable to defend, attracting gold thieves to attack. If he attacks, he will not be able to take advantage of the cavalry and can only fight hard. Our army relies on fortifications to confront it, which can always exhaust his strength. Logistics, forcing him to retreat, he can win. "

Zhao Yucheng's persuasion was reasonable, which made Zhao Kaishan look at his son with surprise, and was secretly happy, feeling that his son had grown big and had military vision.

But military vision is not enough, he is still a little naive politically.

Yes, politics.

Zhao Kaishan himself believes that he is already a leader, not only to use military means to attack external enemies, but also to use political means to stabilize his internal position.

He is not only a military leader, but also a leader of a political organization.

According to his own study and experience during this period, he believes that military is the continuation of politics. Military and political are two sides, and no one can separate from the other. Problems that cannot be solved politically can often be solved by military means.

Applying this theory, Zhao Kaishan feels that the problem he is facing now is not only a military problem, but also a political problem.

Su Yonglin, with Zhuyu in the front, won a big victory, and his prestige rose greatly in the entire Restoration Army group, and the increase in military prestige will inevitably lead to the expansion of political power.

Su Yonglin's right to speak will increase, his power will expand, and those who admire the strong may be shaken again.

Su Yonglin hasn't made any moves yet, but once he does, he will be very passive.

As a leader of the Restoration Army, if he, Zhao Kaishan, can't match or even surpass his military achievements, he will be in a state of decline politically.

He finally used various means to remove the two threats, Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, "exiled them to the frontier", established his political identity as the commander-in-chief, and became the only leader of the Restoration Army, but now Su Yonglin is using his military capabilities turned things around.

Zhao Kaishan felt threatened.

So he thinks that this battle must be won, and it must be fought beautifully, so that everyone knows that not only Su Yonglin will fight, but Zhao Kaishan will also fight, and even better, and can lead them all to victory. gain benefits.

As for the current situation, if it was just blindly defending, then even if he won in the end, it would not be beautiful enough. It was not like Su Yonglin fought a beautiful annihilation battle, which was not heavy enough.

He would also fight a war of annihilation as a response to let everyone know that he is still the irreplaceable leader of the Restoration Army.

"The battle has to be fought, and it has to be fought beautifully. Fight a complete annihilation battle and completely eat these gold thieves!"

Zhao Kaishan punched the map in front of him with a stern expression and a firm tone.

"It's a great move! It really deserves to be the leader!"

Zhao Kaihe was very happy.

Zhao Yucheng was shocked.

"Leader, this is not the best policy, this..."

Zhao Yucheng's words were stopped by Zhao Kaishan.

"I've made up my mind, Yucheng, you don't need to say more, this battle must be fought, it must be fought beautifully, and it must be fought vigorously.

Zhao Yucheng couldn't speak, so he could only bow his head with a worried expression, and said nothing.

Then, Zhao Kaishan began to discuss with Zhao Kaihe how to attack.

Zhao Kaihe meant that they would fight in formation and cooperate with foot and cavalry. Although the main force of the Restoration Army did not have strong cavalry, two or three thousand horses and cavalry were still available.

This wave will not be all dispatched, but at least a thousand cavalry must be taken out to assist the battle as flanks on both sides of the army formation.

The main force is still the infantry. The infantry forms an active attack, and the gold soldiers go into battle in a hurry. Under the haste, the gold soldiers will inevitably fall into decline.

Zhao Kaihe was full of confidence. He believed that the golden soldiers he faced were still the same rabble, and they were simply not enough to compete with the Restoration Army. The simpler and cruder tactics, the more effective they would be.

Zhao Kaishan thought about it for a while. Although he still had a lot of worries in his heart, he still had no objection. He decided to allocate four thousand infantry troops and one thousand cavalry troops to Zhao Kaihe, and gather five thousand troops to attack the Jin army.

Even if you can't defeat the gang of golden soldiers in one fell swoop, you can also frustrate their spirits and give them a slap in the face to make them retreat.

Zhao Kaihe was very happy, so he took orders to prepare the army.

Zhao Yucheng waited for Zhao Kaihe to leave and came to Zhao Kaishan's side.

"Commander, I still don't think it's right. The Golden Bandit cavalry is far above me. If we defeat our cavalry and cut off our retreat, our army is likely to collapse. At that time, our army will suffer heavy losses. of."

Zhao Kaishan had a worried look on his face when he heard this.

He really wanted to win, but it was precisely because he wanted to win that he couldn't accept defeat, and what Zhao Yucheng said was indeed very reasonable.

"Then what do you think is better?"

"According to the camp, don't fight, and force the golden thieves to fight."

"No, we have to fight."

Zhao Kaishan immediately shook his head.

He has already decided to fight, and he can't change it. Otherwise, what authority does he have as a commander?
Zhao Yucheng sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Then, please give me an army and horse, I will follow General Zhao, cover his retreat, and deter the Golden Bandit cavalry a little bit. , General Zhao can retreat smoothly once the battle is unfavorable."
