Chapter 155 The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Although He Xi knew very well that any prepared battle plan could hardly be fully implemented. Because the enemy cannot follow your arrangements.
The reason why war is an art, not a technology, is because both sides may act irrationally.
Everything is in accordance with the so-called military laws and principles, which is technology. And the part that goes beyond breaking through these restrictions and can achieve victory is art.
But He Xi hates art.
Because he didn’t know that before the so-called art dust settled, this martyr was still the pioneer.
The technical flow is very controllable.
Under the military system established by He Xi, although Ye Chen had the right to make decisions, it was impossible for him to completely conceal the situation from the court.
All of Ye Chen's plans seemed to be hidden under the original plan to attack Luoyang. It was only recently that the plan was revealed, and He Xi saw the clues. But what should we do now?
Forcibly changing Ye Chen's mind.
no.
Because He Xi clearly felt that this was not Ye Chen's idea alone, but the idea of the entire Southern Conquest Army. There is no other reason. After the Battle of Hejian, the Southern Conquest Army had only one idea, to move forward and attack Nanjing.
Militarily, it is the fastest way to end the war between the North and the South.
It is also the best way to build meritorious service from top to bottom in the Conquering South Army. In this way, all the great achievements were made by the army in conquering the South. It is normal for several princes and more than ten princes to appear along the way.
But He Xi suppressed it.
This dissatisfied many people.
It's okay to say that Ye Chen is not satisfied. After all, Ye Chen is already the Duke of the country. There can be no change. They are all princes. Although there are differences between big countries and small countries, the differences are not big. What is really dissatisfied are the generals who feel that they can touch the edge of the title.
Although Ye Chen is a direct descendant of He Xi, Ye Chen's direct descendant may not be He Xi's direct descendant. Politics is so complicated. For these people, the best way is to push Ye Chen up so that they can get the benefits they want.
Although He Xi is a big boss, He Xi will not directly affect them. The only people who can directly affect them are generals at the level of Ye Chen. He Xi rarely crossed Ye Chen to interfere with Ye Chen's men. After all, Ye Chen is one of the cornerstones of He Xi's power.
He Xi and Ye Chen have been friends for so many years, but the relationship between people does not depend on how many years of friendship you have with him. It depends on how it is maintained. Otherwise, it would be reasonable for Prime Minister Bai to press the sword even though he knew it.
After all, it stands to reason that the relationship between a person and his or her parents is the best. But many people don’t have a good relationship with their fathers. Of course there are many people who have no conscience themselves. But most of the time, in the eyes of parents, children are just children.
You are the big boss outside. Your parents also tell your partners or friends the story of how you pooped on your hands and then put it into your mouth to taste it.
Therefore, He Xi had to take care of Ye Chen's power and status.
Taking this matter as an example, He Xi knew that Ye Chen was used to being willful. He has a criminal record. Now it seems that there is still progress. I know how to set off smoke bombs. If you don’t know, people would think that the real situation has come here step by step.
He Xi was worried that it was indeed the cooperation of the entire Zhengnan Army.
Logically speaking, isn’t it right to cooperate? Ye Chen is the head coach, and it is normal for the people below to obey his orders.
But the people below really couldn't figure out Ye Chen's intention. They had to wait until He Xi to figure it out from Ye Chen's series of orders. If He Xi didn't understand military matters, right? The front line would have already become an established fact.
This made Ye Chen realize that many emperors were suspicious of the thoughts of frontline generals.
People who are incompetent are easy to deal with, but many times they cannot solve your problems. Competent people generally have their own ideas. After all, if a problem can be solved by just one person. It was no problem for the emperor. Just transactional work. The problems he needs to face are all very difficult. It takes an extraordinary amount of people to solve it.
These extraordinary people can solve problems that ordinary people cannot solve. If there is no super
It's weird to think beyond ordinary people's ideas.
Such people are sharp and can hurt people's hands.
He Xi thought about it and decided to write a private letter to reprimand Ye Chen and ask Ye Chen to find a way to change his strategy and capture Luoyang first. Don't be in a hurry to fight Fu Youde. Or let Ye Chen do this?
He Xi thought about it over and over, and finally smiled bitterly.
He felt like he didn't know.
He knew very well that his military abilities were not as good as Ye Chen's. Especially in these years, Ye Chen has almost thoroughly studied his military insights. From theory to practice, we all have our own ideas.
Even if He Xi personally commands the army, he may not be Ye Chen's opponent.
It would be best to let Ye Chen handle the battle on the front line. As for Ye Chen's little actions. You can only turn a blind eye.
No, it's not just about turning a blind eye.
She also had to prepare for Ye Chen and wipe his butt.
This is also prepared with both hands.
One is victory.
As soon as Fu Youde was defeated, the Yellow River defense line collapsed immediately. It's a great opportunity, but not taking action is the problem. But if you are not prepared. This opportunity was missed.
What He Xi needs to do is to prepare for the battle in Shandong. Once Fu Youde loses. The Battle of Shandong begins immediately. This battle is almost impossible to lose. When the time comes, it will sweep across the Jianghuai River. Approaching the Yangtze River. That is to say, it is logical.
If Ye Chen loses.
The Shandong Campaign was also launched in order to attract Fu Youde's attention and prepare time for the front line to regain its strength. At that time, the outcome of the Shandong Battle was not important. After victory, the two sides probably still used the Yellow River as the boundary. But the situation in Guanzhong and Southwest China is another matter. Maybe Mei Yin will withdraw from Jianmen Pass and be southwest of the Governor of Hanzhong.
If they lose, the situation in the southwest will be more complicated. On the Shandong and Henan front lines, it is probably time to review the Hejian defense line.
But no matter what. Avoid it at all times. Fu Youde suddenly rushed to the gate of Beijing.
As long as the war does not reach Beijing and there are some relapses in the situation, He Xi is confident that he can suppress it.
This is just one point. He Xi still has a lot of preparations to do. It kept He Xi extremely busy. It must also be kept secret. The message cannot be amplified.
After all, on the one hand, they are worried about the popular sentiment in the rear. News leaked. On the other hand, He Xi was also worried about his relationship with Ye Chen. The human heart is very delicate. It will change with the strength of each person.
Before the end of the war, the relationship between He Xi and Ye Shen was that He Xi relied more on Ye Chen, not the other way around.
Maintaining the relationship with Ye Chen cannot be poached by Zhu Xiongying, and must be within the scope of He Xi's consideration.
So much work. He Xi couldn't help but think: "Ye Chen, Ye Chen, after so many years, it's easy to change the situation but hard to change the nature. You can't be more peaceful."
However, He Xi also knew that the truly peaceful Ye Chen was not Ye Chen.
-------
He Xi makes final preparations for the decisive battle. The two brothers, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen, did not know much about the upcoming battle. Zhu Xiongying knew about the various plans for the previous battle in Luoyang. I don’t know that the drama has been secretly changed below.
And Zhu Yunwen is even more pitiful than Zhu Xiongying.
The war has been going on to this day, especially the economic collapse in the rear, which has directly affected the frontline operations. Zhu Yunwen's prestige also dropped to freezing point.
Fu Youde had resentment against Zhu Yunwen before, and even more so now. He ignored Zhu Yunwen throughout the entire battle plan. Zhu Yunwen just knew that Fu Youde wanted to support the Luoyang battlefield. What to do specifically? Not even aware of it at all.
Not to mention, what kind of preparations and foreshadowing Zhu Yunwen will make for this matter.
Not to mention whether Zhu Yunwen knew this or not, even if Zhu Yunwen knew it, what could he do? After more than half a year of sorting out, Ding Xian used countless means, including but not limited to, nationalizing all the minerals of many merchants and directly expropriating all industries.
In short, at this point, the commercial credit of the Nanjing court was completely bankrupt. No one dared to make any deals with the imperial court anymore.
Any so-called buyer of the imperial court
The West has essentially transformed into exploitation and plunder.
This large-scale robbery of people's property is more direct and cruel than new banknotes. But it was also more effective, and the logistical supply was finally restored. But that's all.
Something else. Zhu Yunwen couldn't do it either.
