I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 326 Zhao Xi's Controversy
Discuss the importance of strategy.

This is an article that Zhao Xi had to write when he still saw no fighting on the east and west roads after watching for a few days.

The article is published confidentially, and the scope of communication is above the army commander.

Before the war, Zhao Xi announced the wartime secrecy regulations. This is very important, and the army must cultivate the secrecy awareness.

His article was released as a confidential article, because it is an exposition of the war itself, and it is also an endorsement for the east and west to start the war as soon as possible... I am too afraid of taking responsibility.

The article analyzes the preparations for this war between Xixia and Guochao in detail, and analyzes the armament deployment of all parties such as the east and west routes and the decisive battle in the middle route.

Then, a time deduction and judgment was made for the advancement and decisive battle of this war.

First, it is strategic deployment.On the premise that the Xixia side invaded the frontiers across the board, the two sides entered a state of preparation for war.

And this state is full-line preparation.Regardless of whether the Xixia side intended to create such a situation, Guochao followed suit and deployed defenses along the entire border, deploying heavy troops everywhere, so as to give Xixia the illusion that Guochao was not sure about the direction of Xixia's attack.

The second step is harassment warfare.It was also provoked by the Xixia side. The channel's attacks on the border villages and endless dispatch of capture troops gave the country a sense of urgency for Xixia to suppress us across the board.

In this way, the country had to disperse its forces to fight against Xia.This caused the entire border between Song and Xia to enter a state of tension, and forced the country to evenly distribute its troops.

Due to the original titles of Zhong Er and Guo Kui, no one can be called to preside over Qinzhou's military affairs after the battle begins across the board. Only His Royal Highness, who is considered experienced in combat, can be appointed as the commander of the Central Route Army.

Such a formation of troops on both sides gave Xixia a basis for decision-making.Then Xixia chose to deploy troops from the east and the west, with the purpose of attacking Qinzhou... This is the current status quo.

But at this time, if the east and west routes do not move, it will inevitably cause doubts on the Xixia side, that is, doubts about the distribution of troops in the country and the court.

At this time, only by quickly launching attacks from the east and the west, and continuously breaking through the opponent's defense line, can the Xixia side focus on advancing in the middle.

Only in this way can this decisive battle be fought according to the strategy planned earlier.

As the war progresses, the east and west routes can only be disrupted, disintegrated, and defeated by the two fronts of Xixia with thunderous momentum, speed and absolute superiority, so that Xixia can be convinced that the army in the middle is a bluff, and thus put all their eggs in one basket in the middle. .

Similarly, when the east and west routes enter the war quickly, it will inevitably restrain the minds of the nobles of Xixia, and there will be a state of mind in Xixia that is eager for success or eager for success... After all, the attack by the east and west routes will really damage some parts honorable interests.

In this way, whether the East-West strategy will play a role will be the premise of success or failure this time.

At the same time, Zhao Xi also mentioned in the article that when the east and west roads are advancing, the encirclement and suppression of the middle road should be the ultimate goal.

That is to say, no matter where, how, and what kind of results are fought on the east and west routes, it must be ensured that in the final decisive battle and encirclement and suppression, the instructions of the frontline headquarters can be completed and the specified location can be reached within the specified time.

It's like flying a kite. The direction of the wind determines where the kite goes, and the force of the wind determines the height at which the kite flies, but Zhao Xi must hold the string in his hand.

This is the first time that a firearm has been shown to Xia, and he is certain of the destruction during the war.He was worried that the new army's combat power would lead to two routes of command from east to west, which would breed ambition, forget the strategic goal of this war, and blindly advance the battlefield to the hinterland of Xixia... This is really possible.

After all, there are not many battles that can make Guochao proud, and there is a lot of resentment accumulated in the Western Army.It is really possible that after gaining a certain advantage, the east and west routes will be dazzled by the victory and rush forward blindly... The equipment of compressed biscuits prevents the soldiers from having logistical problems.

In this war, the planned strategic goal is to limit the elimination of Xixia's combat power, not a war of annihilation of the country.

In a sense, the conditions for destroying the country are not yet met.

The training of Guochao's new army has only achieved initial results, and Guochao's military equipment has not yet been upgraded to the point where it can wipe out Xixia in one fell swoop.

Secondly, the war of destroying the country has never been carried out solely by force. It must be carried out in parallel in all aspects such as economy, military affairs, people's livelihood, and education.

The reason for the decision to destroy the country is not only relying on force, or force is not enough.This requires education and coercion at the same time.

Public approval is the most fundamental element in ruling a country.

For the destruction of a country, enlightenment is even more important than force.

At this point, it is basically expounding a truth: the will of the people is the key to the success or failure of the revolution.

To put it bluntly, the kingly way and hegemony must be advanced at the same time in order to truly destroy the country.

This article is trying to lay the groundwork for the battle between the east and the west...

At the same time, Zhao Xi also issued a secret order to Cao Lin and Zhe Xingxing, requiring them to control the rhythm of the battle and replace the command of the east and west routes with secret orders when necessary.

This was not Zhao Xi's original intention. For him, it should be to use people without suspicion. However, all the officials in Qinzhou, regardless of martial arts, unanimously suggested that he do this, and even Di Qing strongly demanded it.

How should I put it, civil servants are purely guarding against military generals, while military generals are considering finding a backing for generals from east and west.

After all, the battlefield is not what people imagine. Once entering the war, many decisions will not be deduced in advance. At this time, it is necessary to rely on strong people like the commander of the guard battalion to take the blame, so as to avoid all the blame on Zhong Er and Guo Kui body.

This is the status quo of the civil and military affairs of the country.

Even the secret decree that is feasible for Cao Linhe was formed through the formal process of the court.

"This battle will be won!"

This is Fu Bi's first comment after reading Zhao Xi's article.

"I hope the decisive battle will be Haoshuichuan!"

"Zhigui, you..."

Han Qi hopes to fight in Haoshuichuan?These words made Fu Bi panic.

"Yanguo, just as His Highness said, the country's court has been broken and its spine has been pulled. The last straw that caused this result was the battle of Haoshuichuan."

"I, Han Qi, can understand that shame is shame, and I don't avoid it. Now, His Highness's comprehensive deployment of this battle has given me the hope of avenging my shame."

"Since the battle of Haoshuichuan made Guochao lose his courage, why not fight back Guochao's courage in Haoshuichuan?"

To be able to be a slaughterer, you really won't be too narrow-minded.

"Zhigui, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. His Royal Highness is thoughtful, as can be seen from this debate."

"The battle of Haoshuichuan was led by you, Zhigui, and it was also the pain of your life. In today's battle, the probability of a big victory is quite high. How could His Royal Highness choose Haoshuichuan? Didn't you deliberately make Han Zhigui look bad?"

"Yanguo, I am going to personally propose to His Highness that if possible, set the battlefield in Haoshuichuan. In this way, I, Han Qi, will not die in peace!"
