As soon as Shen Cheng said these words, there was a brief silence in the conference room, but soon several staff officers stood up and said:
"I agree with Staff Shen's opinion. Commander Lin must be responsible for the situation in Yunbin!"
"In this defeat in Pingyun County, Lin Huaiwu betrayed the commander-in-chief's trust and should be held accountable!"
"The reason why our army is invincible in battles is that rewards and punishments are clearly defined, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be investigated. If we don't punish Lin Huaiwu severely in this battle, it will not be enough to improve military discipline!"
····················
····················
Ye Mingsheng glanced at these staff officers who stood up and demanded severe punishment for Lin Huaiwu. They were generally young people. Like Shen Cheng, they were promoted by He Jingyun when he was in office. Then Ye Mingsheng looked at them and never spoke. Yuan Song who spoke asked:
"General Yuan, you are the chief of general staff. What do you think of this?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Yuan Song pondered carefully for a moment before saying in a deep voice:
"Report to the commander-in-chief. I believe that changing generals before battle is a taboo for military officers. Moreover, Commander Lin is a rare and good general in our army. The defeat in Pingyun County was also caused by a moment of carelessness. , I believe that after this battle, Commander Lin will be able to realize his shame and be brave enough to successfully complete this cloud and counterattack all set goals!"
Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything when he heard this, but continued to ask Guo Zhiping and Zhao Han:
"You two are the deputy chiefs of staff, please share your opinions!"
Guo Zhiping heard this and said first:
"Commander, I agree with General Yuan's opinion. Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists! Unless it is a last resort, it is absolutely not advisable!"
Zhao Han, who was still hesitant at first, changed his mind after hearing Guo Zhiping's opinion and said:
"The humble position also seconded the proposal·····················"
Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Ye Mingsheng slowly said:
"In this case, we are giving Lin Huaiwu a chance. In addition, Xun Ke has performed well this time. He is promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Yunbin battlefield to assist Lin Huaiwu in his work!"
"The Coordination Office and the First General Manufacturing Bureau will fully assist this Yunbin counterattack, and the Ninth Division is preparing for pre-war mobilization!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng finally made the decision, the young staff officers who demanded that Lin Huaiwu be held accountable could only nod in agreement, although they were unwilling to do so.
On the carriage home after burning incense, Yuan Song, who was alone in the carriage, sighed helplessly and regretfully.
This time when he was transferred to the post of Chief of General Staff, Yuan Song also understood that he had usurped Zhao Han's position. In addition, he was not familiar with the general staff's procedures, so he left most things to Zhao Han and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper. !
It happened that after fighting abroad for several years, Yuan Song was really tired and could take a good rest at this time.
Although he enjoys his leisure time, as the chief of the general staff, Yuan Song still has a basic understanding of the staff of the general staff. Among them, the ones he admires most are Shen Cheng and other young people. He thinks these young people are very talented. , If you can go to the front-line combat troops to experience and practice in the future, you may not be able to take charge of it alone.
However, in today's emergency meeting, Yuan Song felt a little disappointed and helpless with these people...
Although Lin Huaiwu fought very hard in this battle, in general, Lin Huaiwu did not make any big mistakes, and he would not be held accountable for being replaced on the spot.
The reason why Shen Cheng and others want to hold Lin Huaiwu accountable is that the failure in Pingyun County is just an excuse. In fact, these people want to vent their anger on He Jingyun!
He Jingyun was the former commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield. He defended Jinzhong City in the Yunbin battle a few months ago and fulfilled Ye Mingsheng's request. Logically speaking, he should continue to be the commander-in-chief of Yunbin and be responsible for this. Ceyun and counterattack.
However, under his command, the Second Army suffered heavy casualties, and the Third Army was directly reduced in size. Cui Desheng, the commander of the Third Army, was captured, and General Peng Ce of the Fourth Division was seriously injured and on the verge of death. This also resulted in He Jingyun and Guo Zhiping had a big fight.
Many people believe that He Jingyun later secretly left Yunbin and transferred Ji Yu to serve as the commander of the First Army because of this quarrel.
But few people know that after the quarrel between He Jingyun and Guo Zhiping, the Second Army Commander Lin Huaiwu also sent a memorial to Ye Mingsheng, pointing out He Jingyun's command problems to Ye Mingsheng, which also led to Ye Mingsheng's determination to transfer He Jingyun He went to Hebei and Yu and served as the commander of the First Army to defend the Zhennan Army.
Shen Cheng and the others were all promoted when He Jingyun was in office, and they are all very grateful to He Jingyun for cultivating them, so now they jointly come forward to target Lin Huaiwu. It is absolutely impossible to say that they are not selfish. In all likelihood, they are. I want to avenge He Jingyun for this arrow...
To be honest, Yuan Song was disappointed with Shen Cheng's selfishness, but he did not intend to get involved in this matter. After all, he had always believed in the principle of protecting one's own safety and would never interfere in matters that had nothing to do with him. However, when Ye Mingsheng took the initiative to ask him When he expressed his opinions, he guessed what Ye Mingsheng was thinking.
Who is Lin Huaiwu?
He was the first general to follow the commander-in-chief. It can be said that looking at the entire Fengwu Army, Lin Huaiwu has the oldest qualifications, so he also won the commander-in-chief's trust. Although his record was not that brilliant, the commander-in-chief still Despite some criticism, he was promoted to commander of the Second Army!
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Huaiwu is the Marshal's confidant!
Furthermore, it was the commander-in-chief’s final decision to transfer He Jingyun and Fulin Huaiwu as the commander-in-chief of Yunbin. Therefore, now that he is being replaced at the last minute and Lin Huaiwu is held accountable, wouldn’t it be tantamount to slapping himself in the face and admitting that it was a mistake to transfer He Jingyun?
There is also a profound meaning in the commander-in-chief asking his own opinion. He was defeated by Xu Zhaojie in Chengfeng County, Hebei Province and lost a lot of troops. However, the commander-in-chief did not criticize himself harshly in the end, but continued to trust him to send more troops and horses. With weapon support, Jiyu finally turned defeat into victory on the battlefield.
It was after understanding Ye Mingsheng's thoughts that Yuan Song made his voice heard at the meeting.
As for the Yunbin battlefield itself, Yuan Song felt that Lin Huaiwu was still quite confident of turning defeat into victory. However, since the commander-in-chief appointed Xun Ke as deputy commander and asked the Ninth Division to prepare for mobilization, this meant that Lin Huaiwu had more time. Not much left. If he fails to produce results, Xun Ke will most likely replace him...
·····························
·····························
Just when Ye Mingsheng convened an emergency meeting of the staff, Shangguan Hongyuan, who was in Luo'an, also received information about Yun Bing's battle situation.
Although he had served in the army for decades and experienced hundreds of battles, Shangguan Hongyuan knew very well how important Yunbin's battle situation was to the Luo'an court, which was currently in turmoil due to internal and external troubles. Therefore, Shangguan Hongyuan was a little nervous when he opened the envelope.
However, when he saw Wang Muzhi's handwriting in the battle report, repelling the Fengwu Army's offensive and annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, Shangguan Hongyuan was so surprised that he burst into laughter.
He knew that Wang Muzhi would not betray his trust in him!
The abandonment of three county towns without fighting, which they had worked hard to conquer and cost tens of thousands of casualties, made many people in the Luo'an court doubt that the Forbidden Army could block the Fengwu Army's offensive. For a time, people's minds changed, and some people were unwilling to be left alone. is ready to take action, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on Shangguan Hongyuan.
While Shangguan Hongyuan was working hard to maintain the Luo'an court, he also hoped that Wang Muzhi could give him a voice on the battlefield of Yunbin and combat the arrogance of the Fengwu Army. Wang Muzhi did not disappoint him. This time Pingyun The county victory can be said to be the Luoan court's greatest victory over the Fengwu Army!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Hongyuan was in a good mood. After pondering for a moment, he changed the description of annihilating more than 10,000 enemies in the battle report to annihilating more than 30,000 enemies. Then he handed it over to his subordinates and ordered:
"Send this battle report to Huoluo Angan City to let everyone know that our army won a great victory in Yunhe and beat the Fengwu Army to pieces!"
"yes!"
After explaining this, Shangguan Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the Battle of Yunbin, the Fengwu Army had left him with a lump in his throat. He had been unable to swallow this breath. Now he can finally let it out... ·························
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Now not only Shangguan Hongyuan needs this victory, but the entire Luo'an court needs this victory to boost the morale of the low-ranking army. Therefore, it is appropriate to slightly polish the number of enemy kills, so as to better inspire people. !
After thinking for a while, Shangguan Hongyuan also wrote a letter to Wang Muzhi. He wanted to encourage Wang Muzhi to continue his efforts on the Yunbin battlefield, strive to win a great victory, and completely defeat the Fengwu Army's plan to counterattack. As long as Wang Muzhi can complete this task, Shangguan Hongyuan will definitely not hesitate to reward you, and he can even make you a marquis!
Wang Muzhi, who was in Pingyun County at this time, didn't know what a surprise his battle report would bring to Shangguan Hongyuan!
And Wang Muzhi, who was on the front line at this time, was far less optimistic than Shangguan Hongyuan!
"Mr. Governor, the casualty statistics are out. Our army lost 5,600 people in this battle, and more than 15,000 people were injured. At present, there are still more than 50,000 of our army capable of fighting in Pingyun County!"
Listening to the report from his men, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but frown. He had carefully prepared for this battle in Pingyun County for several months, so he also had a huge appetite. He wanted to eat directly the Second Army under Lin Huaiwu. , gave a big gift package to his subordinate Ye Mingsheng...
However, although he thought well, the reality was somewhat unsatisfactory. Although Lin Huaiwu was not as famous as He Jingyun, Yuan Song, and Guo Zhiping in the Fengwu Army, his steady and cautious style still made Wang Muzhi win in a few days. They took too much advantage in the rainy night sneak attack before.
Although Lin Huaiwu was defeated with the lives of the three armies, Wang Muzhi also suffered a lot of casualties, but what saddened Wang Muzhi most was the capture of Sun Bufang and the two thousand cavalry!
The most critical reason why Pingyuan County was able to win this battle was that by disrupting the Fengwu Army's logistics supplies, the Fengwu Army's logistics was in trouble, thus forcing the Fengwu Army to be unable to carry out its proud operations. The firearms exert their due power!
After Sun Bufang and the two thousand cavalry were captured, although Wang Muzhi could still gather more than a thousand cavalry and continue to harass the Fengwu Army's logistics supply line, it was obvious that the intensity and effect of the harassment would decline significantly!
This means that the Fengwu Army will receive a large amount of ammunition supplies from the rear, and the Fengwu Army's firearms can exert their due power!
Thinking of this, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little lucky. When Lin Huaiwu retreated from Pingyun County, he was forced to blow up all the red cannons of the Second Army because he could not carry his troops. Otherwise, they would have to face Feng Feng in the next battle. The military's iconic bombings were indiscriminately carried out...
Although he was somewhat fortunate, Wang Muzhi was still not too optimistic about the coming battle. He knew that although Pingyun County Street had killed many of the Fengwu Army's effective forces, the Fengwu Army was far from being injured. , so with Ye Mingsheng's determination, the Fengwu Army will make a comeback soon!
The Fengwu Army still has the advantage in firearms and cavalry, holding the initiative on the battlefield, and he is so passively beaten, even if he counterattacks, it can only be a limited counterattack. The Lin Huaiwu on the opposite side has a higher error tolerance than himself. Much higher, he can make one, two or even three mistakes, but as long as he makes one mistake, he will lose the whole game!
In addition to the threat from the Fengwu Army, the internal situation in Yunbin also gave Wang Muzhi a headache. He was appointed governor of Yunbin by Shangguan Hongyuan, and the governor not only had to take care of the military, but also the internal affairs and people's livelihood, and Wang Muzhi was in the military. For decades, you had no problem asking him to fight wars, but if you asked him to take care of taxation, criminal law, agricultural and commercial policies, etc., he really knew nothing about it!
Wang Muzhi had no choice but to hand over all domestic affairs and people's livelihood issues to the original team of the Chief Secretary of Yunbin. He only wanted money and food to train the army. This time, in order to deal with the Fengwu Army's counterattack, he even more Extreme expansion expanded his army to more than 80,000 people.
Although this gave Wang Muzhi a military advantage when facing the Fengwu Army, it also greatly increased the burden of money and food. Wang Muzhi originally wanted to ask Shangguan Hongyuan to come forward for support, but the Luo'an court itself was also in a state of distress. Can help him solve it!
Wang Muzhi, who had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, which also led to Yunbin's financial collapse. If he could not defeat the Fengwu Army in a short time, Yunbin's own problems would completely break out, and by then no one would be able to defeat him. Know what to expect...
