In the afternoon, in the palace, the crown prince who returned from the east suburbs listened to his father's teachings.

The oath was about to mobilize before the war. Now it is the late Xia, and the Chu State is about to launch a war against the Zhou State. Before the autumn harvest, it will attack Guanzhong, so as to "eat the enemy" and reduce the logistics burden.

This is also a battle to pacify the world. As long as the Zhou Kingdom is destroyed, the world will be unified.

Although Li Li also attended the oath-taking ceremony and had already explained what he should explain and what he should arrange, he was still worried.

So I don’t forget to remind you: “The winner is not criticized. Do you understand what this sentence means? Just in terms of war.”

Li Li asked this, Li Fang thought about it and replied:

"The most important thing is to win a battle. As long as you win a battle, the various mistakes that the coach makes in the process and some mistakes he makes are nothing."

"But once the battle is defeated, any trivial matters will be taken by others."

Li Li asked again: "Give an example?"

Li Fang replied: "During the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing led his army deep into the desert and pursued the main force of the Huns, and most of them did not care about the soldiers."

"For example, if you would rather throw away the wine and meat that you can't finish, than give it to the soldiers who eat dry food."

"The seized food and grass are not in a way and do not want to drag down the speed of the march. They would rather leave the soldiers to hunger than abandon them."

"But he is able to win battles, seal the wolf and make unparalleled achievements, and follow him to pursue the enemy soldiers desperately, and each has its own contributions. So, who cares about these?"

"In contrast, Li Guang, a famous general, has different life experiences."

"Li Guang treats his soldiers well. In order to be honest, he often distributes his rewards to his subordinates, eats and drinks with his subordinates, and leads by example in everything."

"When the army encounters a shortage of water and fasting, when they see water and food, the soldiers do not drink all the water. They do not drink all the food. They do not eat all the food."

"Li Guang loved soldiers like his sons, and was generous and slow to his soldiers, so his subordinates were willing to work hard for him."

"However, in the war with the Huns, he could never win a great victory, and he often lost his time. Because he did not have strong military achievements, he could not be granted a title of marquis even if he was famous."

"Li Guang was depressed and unsuccessful. He lost his time for the last time and was unwilling to face the messenger sent by the head coach to question him, so he committed suicide."

After Li Fang finished his example, he concluded: "The most important thing about leading troops to fight is to win a battle. The commander can do many things in order to win a battle, but no matter what he does, he must aim to win a battle."

"If you can't win a battle, everything is empty. Whether it's fame or reputation, it's just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water."

Seeing that his son was so enlightened, Li Li nodded: "That's right, you must not look back and forth when you go to the battle this time, and you must be afraid of your hands and feet. Everything must be given priority to military victory."

"Don't issue some weird orders to appear kind, such as if the defenders surrender, they are not allowed to attack the city, and even if their soldiers are attacking the city, they have to stop."

"Don't just not follow the combat plan formulated by the General Staff to show your ability, but insist on having a sudden idea and creating a surprise weapon."

"Don't worry about this, worry about that, and want to win a perfect victory."

"When commanding the battle, you must avoid being uneasy. You want everything and take care of everything, but you can't get anything good."

As Li Li said, feeling that he was becoming more and more nagging, so he gave a simple example: "There are fish, carp, thorns, blackfish, etc. in the water, many of them are skewed everywhere, and you only have a net bag in your hand, so you can't catch them all."

"When you look at the fish in the water, you may wonder what to eat today, is it sweet and sour carp? Braised thorn? Pickled thorn? Pickled thorn?"

"You were hesitating with the net, but the fish ran away quickly. You were empty-handed and you could only drink white porridge at night."

"Don't think so much. Follow the largest one to go online. Come online, and then go online. When the work is over, see what fish is in the fish basket and what dishes to cook at night."

Such a metaphor is simple and easy to understand. Li Fang understood his father's concerns and expressed his opinion again: "Don't worry, father, I know the importance of it."

Li Li continued: "It's good that you know. This time you go to the expedition, you should listen to the advice of the staff members. Remember that winning battles is what you need most."

"What other kind names and loving people are the hearts of not thinking so much. When you win the Zhou Kingdom and return triumphantly, you have all kinds of reputations, so don't bother to make those false."

"Also, don't be 'heart-to-heart'. The risk is too great. When Uncle Liang entered Sichuan, the enemy army sent assassins to pretend to be the commander of Qu to surrender and assassinate them during the meal."

Li Fang knew about this, and of course he understood the importance of being wary of assassins.

Li Li actually wanted to say a lot, but in order not to backfire, his son was worried and he quickly ended the conversation and asked his son to go back and have a good rest, and set off in full spirit tomorrow.

After his son left, Li Li couldn't sit still and walked back and forth before the case, as if it was his first time to go on the battle, and he was uneasy.

But even before he participated in the war, he was not so irritable.

I sat down, looked at the map, and sighed for a long time.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to be a prince. As a crown prince, he can't perform too well or poorly.

The East Palace has plump wings, but it doesn’t work; the East Palace has sparse wings, but it doesn’t work.

It is really difficult to grasp this level, reassure the emperor's father, let the younger brothers give up, and how to stabilize the position of crown prince.

Moreover, as the crown prince, it is generally best not to leave the capital easily or leave the emperor's side, otherwise it will be easy to change.

For example, once the emperor dies or falls seriously ill and falls into a coma, and the prince is away, it is easy to be taken advantage of by others.

Or, if the prince is outside, it is difficult to prevent villains from slandering themselves in the emperor's ears, and they cannot defend themselves in time. If they seek justice, they will easily be plotted against.

Now, Li Li is worried that his son will be in a panic after he goes to the battle. He has to worry about the situation and the movements he is in.

If someone interferes with it, it will cause unilateral misjudgment...

For example, he thought that the crown prince was doing things outside, relying on his heavy troops, and he wanted to plan something.

Or it may make the crown prince think that his actions are changing, the emperor is seriously ill and coma/death, and the treacherous and slander forged his will. If he does not respond in time, he will be the second Fusu.

When the crown prince goes to war, there are too many non-military factors that interfere with the crown prince's mind, and there is a certain probability that he will perform abnormally and even lead to big mistakes. This is why Li Li is confused about it.

He thought about it quietly and recalled the arrangement he made, and felt that it was already perfect and there was nothing to worry about.

In the palace, even if he had an accident, Huang Gui was still in charge of the overall situation. It was not the turn of a small girl to isolate the inside and outside, falsely pass on the imperial edict, and forge edicts;

In the center, there is a strong minister who controls the situation, but there is no room for political speculators to make trouble.

Huang, the relative of the foreigner, was in the capital. When necessary, it was no problem to stabilize the army in the capital by relying on the identity of the queen's brother, the prince's uncle, and the old friendship in the army.

There is nothing to worry about when my biological mother and uncle are in the capital and the prince is away.

If something happened in the capital, the prince would not be alone:

Hedong, separated by a river, is the prince's father-in-law Wu Xiang, while Luoyang is the prince's uncle Peng Jun. If something happens to Kaifeng, the prince will not lose his power and no one can rely on it.

With Wu Xiang and Peng Jun, the prince was escorted. If the prince wanted to stop the Western Expedition immediately, he could be calm when returning to Kaifeng. Even if Kaifeng really changed the world, those who plotted against him could not cause any big waves.

If something happened in Kaifeng, many pastors from all over the country might be watching, but there must be a king-sergeant in Hanshan, Xuzhou, who is bound to be close to Kaifeng and attack the prince's army from the east and west.

At the same time, there will also be troops serving the king from Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Liang Miao, who is in charge of Jizhou, is loyal as Liang Sen's younger brother. Even if he cannot lead troops to Beijing to serve the king, he can still stay in office to intimidate the patriarchs in Hebei. Don't take any tricks.

Li Li's layout over the years has been consolidating the imperial power, and he has all the arrangements he should have, and the planners have no chance to succeed.

So the key is whether the crown prince can get what he wants during this Western Expedition.

Li Li looked at the map and felt relaxed: Everything was ready, but only good news was lacking.

No one can resist the attack of the Western Expedition Army, because the combat effectiveness of the Western Expedition Army is the strongest among the army of this era!
